Chapter 240 Completed!

Company restaurant, in a private room.

While Chen Ziyu was eating, he asked Zhou Shan about "Happy Comedian".

"Teacher Tan took the staff of the White Tiger Group to a dinner party at Lvji, and eight groups of invited guests also went with him," Zhou Shan said.

Chen Ziyu nodded. With so many people gathering together for a meal, it was definitely not something that an individual could pay for. She asked Tan Yue to issue an invoice to the company account.

Chen Ziyu put down the bowl of porridge and asked: "The production of "Happy Comedian" is finished. Someone in the company should be discussing it, right?"

Zhou Shan nodded.

Chen Ziyu raised his eyebrows slightly and continued to ask: "How did you say that?"

Zhou Shan hesitated for a moment and then said: "Many people discussing "Happy Comedian" are people from the program department."

Chen Ziyu nodded and said: "The presence of the program department in the company is not high. Other departments rarely pay attention to it, so only the program department's own people will keep an eye on it... However, if "Happy Comedian" has achieved results, it will make people As others have seen, I think the program department will see changes under the leadership of Teacher Tan.”

Zhou Shan paused and said: "Sister Ziyu, those people...those people don't think too highly of "Happy Comedian". They think that the company will invest so many resources in vain. Some people say that Teacher Tan chooses to make comedies. The program itself is a mistake, and some people say that the White Tiger Team is not good.”

Chen Ziyu frowned slightly, then continued to lower his head and took a sip of the porridge, and said: "Ashan, what do you think of "Happy Comedian"?"

Zhou Shan thought for a moment and said, "I don't think it's bad."

Chen Ziyu smiled and said, "Why?"

Zhou Shan said: "Teacher Tan is really interested in this program. I have been to the studio several times and I have seen Teacher Tan sweating profusely from exhaustion. Also, I think Teacher Tan has produced good programs." ability."

Zhou Shan knew a lot about Tan Yue. The daily news about Tan Yue that Chen Ziyu got before was all through Zhou Shan. She got to know Tan Yue more and more, watching him transform ordinary people into extraordinary people, and make "Wisdom Tree", "Tonight 80 Excellent programs such as "Post Talk Show" and "Complaint Conference" have never failed. Although Zhou Shan has not seen the planning of "Happy Comedian" like Chen Ziyu, she has accumulated strong confidence in Tan Yue.

Some people say that "Happy Comedian" is a comedy program, and it is difficult for online variety shows to achieve success, but in Zhou Shan's opinion, although "Comedy Show" is a talk show, it is also very close to comedy, and can even be classified as a comedy program. Yes, "Tucao Conference" can achieve that level. Even if "Happy Comedian" is not as good, it won't be too different, right?

Seeing that Zhou Shan is quite confident about the new show, Chen Ziyu can't help but feel very good.

While the two were talking, footsteps suddenly came from outside the box.

Boom, boom, boom.

Then there was a knock on the box door, and the gentle voice of the company's vice president Qi Kai came.

"Mr. Chen, are you there?"

Chen Ziyu put down his chopsticks and said with a smile: "I'm eating, come in."

After saying that, the box door was pushed open from the outside, and Qi Kai walked in with a warm smile, "Hahaha, what a coincidence. I just came here, and I heard that Mr. Chen was already having dinner, so I came in to take a look."

Chen Ziyu pointed to the opposite side and said, "Let's eat together."

Qi Kai smiled and did not refuse, sitting opposite Chen Ziyu. Zhou Shan moved her seat aside to make more room for Qi Kai.

After sitting down, Qi Kai looked at the simple dishes on the table and said, "A friend brought me rabbit meat from Inner Mongolia. I will have it brought to the restaurant and ask the chef to cook it for you."

Chen Ziyu shook his head slightly and said, "No, I don't like rabbit meat very much."

Qi Kai was startled for a moment, then he chuckled and said, "Okay, then I won't eat either."

Chen Ziyu frowned and said, "You eat what you have."

Qi Kai looked at Chen Ziyu and said, "I have been with Mr. Chen for a long time, and I have been greatly influenced by you."

Chen Ziyu: "..."

Next to her, Zhou Shan's mouth twitched slightly when she heard this. She felt strange in her heart. She had guessed that Qi Kai liked Sister Ziyu before, but she had always hidden it very well and rarely showed it. She just acted as the diamond king in the circle. Fifth, I have not been married for many years, which is inherently tricky, and I looked at Chen Ziyu a few times with a rather naked look.

Zhou Shan sometimes wondered if she had seen it wrong, and shook her head slightly. Zhou Shan didn't quite understand why Qi Kai, who had been hiding so well before, suddenly couldn't sit still? Is it because you are older?

Chen Ziyu chuckled lightly and said to Qi Kai: "Old Qi, your sense of humor is getting less and less now."

After finishing speaking, without waiting for Qi Kai to speak, Chen Ziyu continued: "By the way, let's stop gossiping. Let's talk about the new program "Happy Comedian" by the program department."

Qi Kai frowned and said, "What's wrong with this show?"

Chen Ziyu said: "I am very optimistic about this show. I want the artist management department and public relations department to further strengthen their cooperation to promote "Happy Comedian". What do you think?"

Qi Kai thought for a while and said: "Mr. Chen, are you so confident in this "Happy Comedian"? I heard that some people in the program department are not optimistic about this program."

When Chen Ziyu heard this, his face instantly darkened, and he said: "I have to let HR have a good chat with these people. They used to waste the company's resources and couldn't make good programs. Now someone can make the program, but they are... What is the purpose of our company to say something sarcastic behind our backs? It is unity, cooperation and courage to take responsibility!”

Chen Ziyu's temper got worse, and neither Qi Kai nor Zhou Shan dared to say anything.

The shadow of age is not just talk.

online.

In terms of variety shows, the most popular ones are naturally "Dimension Gang" by Tianjing Entertainment and "I Am a Detective" by Guangmei Entertainment. Both of these shows were broadcast more than 10 million times on the first day.

After these two hit shows, there is a new show, "The Speaker" by Huaguang Entertainment!

Huaguang Entertainment is one of the eight second-rate entertainment companies in China. It is strong and rich in resources. It pursues the strategy of raising Gu. At first, it will make multiple programs together. After the first period, it will eliminate a batch of programs based on the effect. After the second period, another batch will be eliminated. After a few periods, there are basically only two or three programs left, and they are all programs with good potential and are quite popular with the audience. They can continue to do it. Although the initial cost is high, it will definitely be earned back later.

The Gu King in the first quarter of this year is undoubtedly "The Speaker". At present, "The Speaker" is the most popular program of Huaguang Entertainment. It is hoped that it can be included in the ranks of hit programs.

The timing of the appearance of "The Speaker" is also very clever. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that this program is following the trend of "Tucao Conference" and taking the talk show route. However, now that "Tucao Conference" has lost Tan Yue, the quality is not guaranteed, and the ratings have been declining linearly. It has fallen from the original position of the champion of domestic variety shows to the ranks of second-rate programs in Taiwan variety shows.

During its peak period, "Tucao Conference" attracted a group of viewers who like to watch funny, humorous, and talk show-style shows. Later, "Tucao Conference" withdrew, and this group of viewers lost their target, and a gap appeared. There are many talk show-type programs that follow the trend of "Tucao Conference", but the quality is not good and cannot meet the needs of the audience. At this time, "The Speaker" emerged, relying on imitating the style and good quality of "Tucao Conference", attracting a large number of viewers who like to watch talk show programs.

The popularity of "The Speaker" has risen rapidly. Although it is not as popular as "Tucao Conference" at the beginning, it is already quite good. Among online variety shows, its discussion is second only to "Dimension Gang" and "I Am a Detective". There are many discussion posts about "The Speaker" on some well-known forums.

"It's really good. I haven't seen such a wonderful talk show since "Tucao Conference."

"Yes, "The Speaker" can be said to be another masterpiece in the talk show genre after "Tucao Conference."

"Some of my friends are watching "The Speaker". I guess this show will be popular."

"I also have colleagues watching this show. I guess even if it's not as popular as "Tucao Conference", it won't be much worse, right?"

"I don't like watching Taiwanese variety shows. I have to wait in front of the TV to watch them. Unlike online variety shows, I just need to hold the computer and watch it anywhere. Hahahaha, now in addition to "Dimension Gang" and "I Am a Detective", there is another show to watch."

Compared with "The Speaker", "Happy Comedian" is much less popular, but after all, it has the corresponding promotion of Brilliant Entertainment Company. It is not as popular as "Dimension Gang", "I Am a Detective" and "The Speaker", but it is still much stronger than some other ordinary programs.

It is indeed somewhat ironic that "The Speaker" followed the trend of "Tucao Conference", and the creator of "Tucao Conference" is Tan Yue, who has now made a new program. In other words, "The Speaker", which followed the trend of Tan Yue's old program, has received far more praise and popularity online than the new program "Happy Comedian".

Some staff members of "The Speaker" even revealed some words online, saying that they want to follow the trend and kill the original. It may be groundless, but it also makes people think of the new program of the original creator Tan Yue.

"Happy Comedian" is also going to compete with "The Speaker" at the same time.

However, although there are some small waves, there are still no major conflicts in the online variety show as a whole. Of course, it may also be because the first episode of "Happy Comedian" has not yet been aired, so it is not easy to lead the rhythm. Otherwise, according to the nature of some rhythm masters on the Internet, they may have already started to lead the rhythm between "Happy Comedian" and "The Speaker".

Many things in the entertainment industry are transparent, unless you don't do it. If you do it, you must be prepared to be exposed and your reputation will be ruined. It's not that there are no program groups that do dirty work to competing programs, but they are fully prepared and will not be discovered. However, no one can guarantee that they are fully prepared. So in fact, there are many unspoken rules and secret methods in the entertainment industry, but they will not become the norm. Normally, they will not use these despicable methods. If you are not careful, you will hand a knife to your opponent.

Therefore, among the variety shows in the entertainment industry now, "Dimension Gang" is busy consolidating its leading position in online variety shows; "I Am a Great Detective" racked its brains to think about how to catch up with "Dimension Gang" and what scale of celebration to hold when the total number of views exceeds 2 billion; and "Speaker", as a rising star in online variety shows, is thinking about how to copy "Tucao Conference" without being judged as plagiarism. It does not ask the program to reach the height of "Tucao Conference", but to exceed 1 billion in total views and reach the level of a small hit program.

Beijing, Chang'an Building, Brilliant Entertainment Company, in the president's office.

The curtains in the office were drawn, making the room a little dim. The screen was lowered and the projector projected the finished film of the first episode of "Happy Comedians" onto it.

Chen Ziyu hugged her chest with one hand and held her chin with the other hand, rubbing her fingers on her chin slowly, watching the finished film of "Happy Comedian" attentively. She had already seen the planning proposal of "Happy Comedian" before and was optimistic about this program, but now after watching the finished film of "Happy Comedian", she still felt that she underestimated this program.

There were constant laughs and jokes, and the rhythm was so tight that people didn't want to blink their eyes.

At this moment, there were also the program director Tan Yue, the editor Li, and the president's assistant Zhou Shan in the office.

The finished film was edited by Tan Yue and Li bit by bit, so the two of them were not as focused as Chen Ziyu and Zhou Shan.

There was constant laughter in the office, and even Chen Ziyu, who was always holding a stern attitude at the beginning, laughed again and again with the program later.

"Happy Comedian" invited a total of eight groups of guests, so there was plenty of time and too much content, so there was no need to worry that there would be too much editing and not enough time in the end. So Tan Yue was relieved to trim the film drastically, cutting out all the parts without substantial content, bland parts, and unnecessary parts.

However, he would try his best to ensure the length of each program of the eight groups of guests. Since the last group of Zhao Dabao and Shen Liang was very exciting, Tan Yue cut less. The length of the group of Zhao Dabao and Shen Liang should be the longest among the eight groups.

Manager Li in the editing room looked at Mr. Chen and Zhou Shan who were overjoyed, and then looked at Tan Yue who was watching the program with a smile, and couldn't help but look at Tan Yue with a new look in his heart.

Because he often edited programs for the program department, Manager Li knew a lot of people in the program department and knew that the new program to be made by the new director was likely to fail, and the new director was less than 30 years old and his ability was very questionable. Many related remarks made Manager Li's impression of Tan Yue only average.

But as "Happy Comedian" was edited bit by bit, Manager Li was more and more surprised.

Finally, the impression of Tan Yue as a mediocre and immature person in his mind has been overturned, and he has been replaced by a talented, capable, stable and mature company executive.

"Tsk tsk tsk, no wonder Mr. Chen often supports him in public, he is really too capable!" Manager Li sighed in his heart.
