China Entertainment 1997

Beijing, Daxing

The sky was thundering... No, it was Tianjing Dihua Pet Paradise. Yu Jian, who had just woken up from a hangover, got up in the morning and started fertilizing the cucumbers at home.

I lifted up my pants and suddenly saw that the next door not far away was suddenly surrounded by many railings, and there were workers working inside. I quickly called my wife to ask.

Yu Jian's real family background is not that of the Manchu cuckold Wang Laola. His parents are leaders of state-owned enterprises. The family's living conditions are good, but they are far less ridiculous than the little black fat man's cross talk.

However, it is true that Yu Jian loves to play. Before Deyun Club became popular, the little black fat man rented a yard in Daxing to raise his apprentices. He also got a small piece of land to raise chickens, dogs, and horses. Carefully poured in a lot of blood and bones.

It was just a small scale, just for personal fun. After Deyun Club became popular and he made some money, he began to invest in expansion.

At first it was just to satisfy personal hobbies, but then the more I invested, the more I made friends, and it started to transform into a zoo + equestrian club.

Of course, it is still far from the peak scale of nearly a hundred acres in later generations. Deyun Club has just started two years ago, and Yu Jian’s child has just been born. It is the time to spend money, so the investment here is limited, so I can barely grow up. The courtyard was upgraded to a small garden.

Yu Jian liked this place very much. Whenever he had free time, he would run here, play with monkeys and dogs, and serve in the garden. When he had free time, he would invite a group of friends to come over to eat and drink. It was so comfortable.

Therefore, Yu Jian, who enjoys this kind of life very much, is particularly afraid of being destroyed. Suddenly there is a neighbor next door, and he has to figure out what to do.

If someone is building a factory or doing other troublesome business, and there is noise and pollution every day, his garden will have to be moved even if it is not yellow.

"That farm, do you remember that farm at the other end of the west road? It's owned by a boss. I heard it's a horse farm."

Yu Jian has been performing outside for the past two days. He just came back after drinking last night. He didn't know the situation, so Yu Qian's wife asked him about it early to put his mind at ease.

"Racecourse?"

Yu Jian's eyes lit up. Unexpectedly, the new neighbor next door was a like-minded person. He didn't even eat breakfast and went over to inquire about the situation.

Only then did we find out that the real owner didn't come at all, and had sent an assistant and a designer to supervise the work. It was estimated that people would not be able to see anyone until the racecourse was completed.

But even so, Yu Jian also got a lot of information by brushing his face and offering cigarettes.

For example, this racecourse may not look particularly big, but the investment is really large. Many facilities are based on the standards of the world's top racecourses. Even the grassland has been cleared and replanted.

According to the workers, if the boss hadn't lived in the capital and wanted to be close and convenient, he would have chosen a better place.

But it doesn't matter. As long as you are willing to spend money, the lack of hardware can be made up for. Even in the Sahara Desert, you can still find an oasis to raise horses.

Yu Jian had a garden of his own, so he knew some about the market. He silently calculated the price and smacked his lips secretly.

In the eyes of many people, he likes to keep these things and invests a lot of savings into them. He is not doing his job properly and loses his ambition by playing with things. But when the investment cost is compared with this person, he can be regarded as a thrifty person.

What made him even more excited was that the venues were so luxurious, and the breeds of these horses were probably also extraordinary.

When the racecourse is completed, I will shamelessly go to the house to check my face and see if I can ride two laps. It would be better if I can mate with the one at home...

Yu Jian was thinking about this matter, and when he returned to the city to perform at the Deyun Club Theater in the evening, he couldn't help but talk to the little black fat man backstage.

However, the fat little black man had no time to worry about his racecourse, and instead discussed another matter with him.

"Brother Jian, did someone from Fanxing contact me two days ago?"

"Why, is that person unhappy about the smashing incident?"

Yu Jian was a little moved. To be honest, this matter was considered unethical by the little black fat man, and he was trying to use a tiger's skin as a banner.

Cao Xuan's new song "Elegance and Popularity Appreciates Both" is aimed at the debate between elegance and vulgarity in the music world. The purpose is actually to give voice to a number of online ringtone singers such as Daolang and Phoenix Legend, and has no intention of targeting the cross talk industry.

Ordinary netizens can only relate to the anti-three customs controversy in the cross talk industry. People will not take it too seriously if they are ridiculed on the Internet.

But the person involved, Little Hei Fatty, took the initiative to use this song to criticize him, which was a bit like using the sword of Cao Xuan's music industry to kill people in the cross talk industry.

If the protection is not complete, anyone will think that Cao Xuan is supporting the little black fat man. To say it is ugly and serious is to make enemies of Cao Xuan.

If Cao Xuan is taboo about this, Deyun Society, which is already in the wrong, will have to give him an explanation.

Moreover, Boss Cao’s energy in the entertainment industry is not comparable to that of the Music Association. Even if Deyun Club is rooted in a small theater, Fanxing can suppress it in all aspects, which is a big disadvantage for the rising Deyun Club. Small impact.

More importantly, Cao Xuan was kind to the fat little black man.

Not to mention that in the early years, he introduced the host to the little black fat man, and introduced several people from Deyun Club to film.

When Deyun Society first became popular, Cao Xuan praised Deyun Society several times and even came to listen to cross talk in person. He was the first big man outside the cross talk circle to publicly recognize Deyun Society and gave Deyun Society a lot of praise for Deyun Society, which was not yet stable at the time. Great exposure and support.

It is no exaggeration to say that when Deyun Society first became popular, except for the Gyeonggi area, many people in other provinces knew that Deyun Society started from Cao Xuan.

Little Hei Fatty and others have just entered the TV platform from small theaters, and many program introductions also use Cao Xuan as a gimmick.

To be honest, if there was a conflict between the two parties, Cao Xuan would be able to kill the fat little black man just because of his "ungratefulness".

You may not have noticed, but the biggest black spot for the little black fat guy in his later life was his dispute with his first master, Yang Zhigang. Regardless of the merits, he had a falling out with his master, and many people labeled him with various labels.

As for Yang Zhigang and Little Black Fatty, both of them have their faults and their judgments.

But Cao Xuan didn't feel sorry for him, the little black fat man. After all, it was the little black fat man who was in the wrong.

Cao Xuan's media voice and fans are not comparable to Yang Zhigang's. No matter how popular Deyun Club is, it cannot be as popular as a world-class king.

Otherwise, Yu Jian wouldn't be so frightened with just one sentence. Although he is in a difficult situation against Qu Xie, he still has the strength to fight. If Cao Xuan is added, everyone can just break up and change careers.

"Brother Jian, what are you thinking about? What is his identity? As for arguing with me about this matter."

The fat little black man quickly comforted him, and then explained: "The Fanxing Variety Show Department is preparing to launch several new programs, and they plan to ask me to create a talk show. If this happens, our Deyun Club will have a solid base on television."

"This is a good thing."

"It is indeed a good thing, but as a result, I guess I will have to spend a lot of time to record the show. Sometimes the theater will have to rely on you."

"It's nothing to worry about. Don't worry, I'm at home."

Yu Jian indeed has the style of a virtuous queen who cares about the world. Xiao Hei Fatty was particularly moved: "Brother Jian, don't worry, although my new partner is Liu Yan, I will never be able to surpass you in my heart."

"..."

Yu Jian touched his nose and said, "Where is your new show recorded? I'll go visit the class when the time is right."

Facing the probing and questioning look of the little black fat man, Yu Jian straightened his face: "Don't get me wrong, I'm just going to study and make friends by the way."

"Brother, it has to be you."

The little black fat man gave him a thumbs up, and Yu Jian accepted it calmly, and then used the little black fat man to scare others about Cao Xuan. He could not let himself be frightened alone.

Then the two people who didn't leave started to discuss. When Li Dayan entered the backstage, he saw Yu Jian puffing away his breath with a serious face. The little black fat man sighed and looked at him hesitantly before he hesitated. .

"Just now, Fanxing called me..."

The equally smart Li Dayan, like Yu Jian just now, immediately thought of all the consequences and turned pale with fear.

This time Yu Jian felt comfortable.

When the others explained clearly, Li Dayan gritted his teeth and immediately demanded to continue acting. He was frightened and others could not hide away.

At the end of the deception, when a fat man with a Henan accent came to open the door and greet everyone, the whole backstage atmosphere was as depressing as a funeral hall.

The little fat man almost thought that his master was gone, and he couldn't help but reveal the "Fu Shou Quan" he had practiced these past few days...

………

The next day, Little Hei Fatty rushed to Fanxing Building for a meeting and met Liu Yan, the producer and partner of the new show.

"Lao Guo, this time we are working together again."

"Haha, please take more care of me."

Different from the original time and space, Liu Yan is now a well-known ruthless person in the entertainment industry, and even the king of superstars has to be a little bit thin.

Moreover, when the little black fat man was the host of Fan Xingxing, he was following Liu Yan. In a sense, he was Liu Yan's younger brother.

The current state of the two of them is very similar to that of Little Black Fatty and Chun Ni from the original time and space, and even Liu Yan's current popularity and fame are a bit higher.

So she easily called Little Hei Fatty Lao Guo, and Little Hei Fatty always retained respect for Liu Yan while teasing and joking.

The new program is called "There's a Show Tonight", which was created by Cao Xuan. It's an interview route, with the two hosts performing their own duties. Liu Yan is in charge of interviews and exchanges, and the little black fat guy is in charge of making jokes.

Since Liu Yan's fame has skyrocketed since her battle with Director Chen, she has become the number one host in Fanxing's circle, and Fanxing focuses on cultivating artists. "Tonight's Show" is even a program created for Liu Yan.

Because of this incident, Hu Ke left. This became the first artist to leave Fanxing in so many years since its establishment, and dominated the headlines for several days.

The reasons behind Hu Ke's departure are actually very complicated. Not only Fanxing pays more attention to Liu Yan.

At the same time, her old club "Joy" contacted her and offered her the position of host.

Moreover, Hu Ke also wants to develop more in film and television, but although Fanxing has many movies, it also has many female artists, so the competition is fierce.

At this time, Huayi threw an olive branch to her. Although Huayi has two big stars, Li Bingbing and Zhou Gongzi, they basically only make movies. There is a huge resource gap in TV series. Hu Ke can play the female role if she comes there. host.

Anyway, due to many reasons, Hu Ke chose to leave Fanxing to have a try, and Fanxing did not stop him.

To be honest, Hu Ke's position as an artist within the company is indeed not very high. The sad point is that he is dispensable. If he really wants to leave, everyone can just get together and disperse.

Once Hu Ke left, only Hua Shao and Liu Yan were the official hosts of Fanxing. There was a gap in the host, but with the current strength and influence of Fanxing Variety Show Department, it was not a problem at all.

However, Fanxing did not choose to recruit heavily, but chose to cooperate with external hosts. Only good talents with suitable conditions will sign contracts.

To put it bluntly, Fanxing has a platform, capital, and a host. They don't care about the host's turnover. The worst is that the program terms will be signed for two more years.

Little Fatty Hei also benefited from this and won the hosting position of "Tonight's Show".

Another person who gets this benefit is a bald man named Meng Fei, who will host a new dating show.

A half-day meeting was held in the morning to learn about the program. In the afternoon, discussions were held to determine the relevant processes. The same was true for the next few days, mainly to determine the process and selling points.

If nothing unexpected happens, the recording will start within a week, and then everyone will find faults, continue to work together and make refinements, and let the two hosts develop a tacit understanding. After about a while, the program will be officially recorded and then piloted.

Seeing that it was time for lunch, the little fat man wanted to express his intention to invite everyone out to eat.

"Time is quite tight. Don't go out. Let's have something in the cafeteria. Let's get together again when we have a chance."

There is no doubt that the C position of "Tonight's Show" is Liu Yan. The little black fat guy can only act as a second role until he doesn't show his absolute performance.

So, as soon as she spoke, everyone went straight to the canteen of Fanxing Building.

Little Hei Fatty had worked at Fanxing before, but Fanxing had not moved yet at that time.

Although he had been to the building several times since then, he had never eaten in it. This was his first time in Fanxing's cafeteria.

Six meat dishes, four vegetarian dishes + two soups. The staple food is steamed buns, rice, flower rolls, and pancakes. Specialties include roujiamo, wontons, dumplings, noodles, etc., and occasionally seasonal fruits.

Although the dishes are not luxurious, they can still be called sumptuous. The most important thing is that these items are all free, and employees can eat as long as they don't waste them.

Liu Yan took the tray, walked around the food counter, asked for some food, and came back with a determined look on her face.

"The boss is back."

"how do you know?"

The fat little black man who had just stuffed a piece of braised pork into his mouth was confused. Liu Yan pointed to the spicy chicken on the plate.

"The company's unspoken rule is that if the canteen makes spicy chicken, mutton soup or vegetable pancakes that day, the boss must be in the company."

"Teacher Cao also eats in the cafeteria?"

The fat little black man was a little surprised. In his eyes, Cao Xuan was a big star and a big boss. He had an aolong in his left hand, a shark's fin in his right hand, and was still chewing sea cucumber and abalone in his mouth.

"Normally, he eats at the company, but it's hard to say. He's quite busy and doesn't stay in the company for long, but as you know, the boss, he doesn't have to eat, but he can't live without the canteen."

"Teacher Cao likes to eat these?"

"It's okay. After all, it's a dish from my hometown. The chef can't be sure whether he likes other dishes. With hometown dishes, at least he has a guaranteed score."

Speaking of this, Liu Yan lowered her voice: "In addition, the cafeteria also serves as a reminder to everyone. If you know the boss is there, you will pay attention to what you say when eating. Otherwise, you will be heard when you scold the boss, which will be very embarrassing."

Assistant Liu Yan next to her couldn't help but add: "Last year or the year before, an employee complained about his boss, but the boss sat behind him and listened to him scolding him for twenty minutes."

"Then, did that person open it?"

"No, he is still in the company now."

The fat little black man was full of admiration: "Teacher Cao is really generous, like an ancient sage."

The assistant said faintly: "But that person's direct supervisor had his bonus deducted for three months, and the promotion opportunity that he was supposed to have 90% of was almost gone."

"..."

The fat little black man was silent for a few seconds, then smiled: "Rewards and punishments are clear. Teacher Cao has the style of a famous general in ancient times."

Liu Yan couldn't help but laugh: "I am very confident in our future partners now. Your mentality of not blushing when you lie, and your ability to quickly find ways to smooth things over are truly outstanding..."

"What one trick?"

Before he finished speaking, Cao Xuan came over with a tray, said hello to the fat little black man, sat down at an empty table next to him, and looked at Liu Yan.

"What are you talking about? So happy."

Liu Yan remained calm and said in a steady voice: "The spicy chicken dish made in our cafeteria, your hometown's famous dish, is so delicious that I can't get enough of it. It's a specialty in Lunan."

Cao Xuan nodded, and the little black fat man coughed lightly and silently gave Liu Yan a slap in the face: "I am very confident in partnering with you now."

Not only Liu Yan and the little fat man, Cao Xuan's arrival made the entire cafeteria quiet several times. No one sat at the empty tables within five meters of him, and the employees who happened to be here also accelerated their eating.

Cao Xuan has long been used to this. It's not that he is unpopular or petty, but that there is a real gap between the boss and the employees. He himself spends little time in the company, so he is more or less distant from everyone.

Not to mention that ordinary employees are not very close to him, even those below the deputy director dare not approach him easily when they see him in the cafeteria.

Even among the artists and singers, except for a few, their first reaction when seeing him in such private and public situations was to avoid him.

Over time, Cao Xuan got used to it. Most of the time, he asked people to bring food back to the office to eat. He was hungry during the meeting today, so he simply came over to dine in and experienced what it meant to be cold at a high place.

Ignoring the glances around him, Cao Xuan was eating and playing with his mobile phone.

At the beginning of this year, Gang Leader Qiao took out the famous Apple mobile phone, and its touch screen + application detonated the entire mobile phone circle. A new era of smart phones is coming.

But the hard part is that due to the contract, Cao Xuan still has to use a Samsung mobile phone.

What's even more difficult is that Cao Xuan tried to invest in Apple many times before, but failed. Seeing that he couldn't eat such a big piece of fat, Cao Xuan felt uncomfortable just thinking about it.

The Samsung mobile phone in my hand is still a model that was just released last year. Although it is a small-screen phone with buttons, it also initially has some functions, such as reading novels.

At a certain point, there is no way to open it directly on mobile phones, but there is mobile reading, monthly subscription, and single purchase. The price is not low, but Cao Xuan doesn't care. If he sees it beautiful, he will go to the website to reward a leader.

Among the many online novels, Cao Xuan prefers to read urban genres, especially the rebirth entertainment genre. He likes the fact that his name appears in the novels, which gives him a different feeling.

But unfortunately, they are all supporting characters after all. No matter how awesome he is in reality, in the book, he is always a bastard for the protagonist.

The most disgusting one is that he was ripped off and had to call the protagonist Brother. The protagonist said that he was a little Cao. I don’t know which unscrupulous author wrote it and cursed him to become a thin man...

However, the latest book that Cao Xuan followed was good. It was rare for him to recognize him as his brother, and he also joined Fanxing. Although the main purpose was to flirt with Liu Tianxian and Fan Xiaopang, the latest chapters even made Liu Yan sleep with her.

Human bulldozers......

Cao Xuan glanced at Liu Yan next to him and hesitated whether to push this book to her. After thinking about it, he decided to forget it. This book was very enjoyable. Don't let Liu Yan report it.

After eating, Cao Xuan stopped Liu Yan who was about to slip away and came to his office.

Liu Yan thought that what she just said was heard by Cao Xuan, and she wanted to explain with a grimace, but was interrupted by Cao Xuan in confusion.

"Our company's several new variety shows, your "Tonight's Show" and Meng Fei's "If You Are the One" are key projects. Together with Hua Shao's programs, we have the quantity, but we lack trump cards."

Speaking of this, Cao Xuan glanced at Liu Yan, who had strong financial resources, and continued thinking about the meeting in the afternoon.

"My plan with your variety show department is to start a reality show."

"reality show?"

"As a professional host, you should also understand this reality show. However, unlike the previous small-scale reality shows in China, our main focus is on outdoor reality shows with a star cast..."

Reality show is a broad term. Strictly speaking, many types of programs can be considered reality shows. For example, "Super Girl" and "Star of Tomorrow" can also be considered reality shows.

However, the main scope of later reality shows is still the "true story of a specific space" of celebrities or amateurs, shot in all directions and at close range, with the dramatic experience of the core characters, supplemented by post-editing to form a "show".

The reality show Cao Xuan mentioned is naturally the latter. Currently, there are basically no programs of the same type in China, but it is not new in South Korea and Japan.

For example, "Infinite Challenge", the Korean predecessor of "Extreme Challenge", began broadcasting as early as 2005. Although other types of reality shows are not as colorful as later generations, there are also successive attempts.

Cao Xuan actually doesn't know whether the current domestic environmental support supports the birth of a domestic version of the reality show, but he can give it a try.

Even if it fails, Fanxing can easily bear it, but if it can find a way out, the Chinese variety show industry will open up a new hot market years in advance.

Fanxing's first reality show is "Run". The Korean version has not yet been released. Fanxing's first show is "original".

Cao Xuan chose "Run" not only because of his performance and influence, but also because this outdoor game-type program does not overturn the audience's perception of variety shows and is the most suitable reality show in China.

If it were to be a wild survival reality show or a slow farm variety show, the current domestic audience would not necessarily accept it. The variety show market is evolving step by step.

Moreover, this kind of program is not that difficult for the production team, which makes it easier for the team to learn and hone slowly. Moreover, there are also relevant mature personnel in Japan and South Korea who can be invited to provide guidance.

"Run" has 5 to 7 resident MCs. Cao Xuan personally prefers those who are more open-minded, have a sense of variety show or have unique characteristics.

There are not many such talents in Fanxing, and even if there were, Cao Xuan would have to consider whether to let them go.

For example, Huang Bo is definitely good at variety shows, but if he is overexposed in variety shows, it will still have a great impact on his career as an actor.

Cao Xuan still agrees that there needs to be a sense of mystery and distance between actors and the audience.

For example, although he doesn't appear in variety shows very often, his exposure is huge, which ruthlessly deepens the outside world's impression of him as a big star, the king of the world, etc. When he acts, it will inevitably cause some viewers to become upset.

Many actors say they don’t want to be too popular. This is also the reason. Once the actor’s own presence is higher than the role, it is a kind of failure in a sense.

So like many well-known actors, sometimes filming means stripping yourself away and getting close to the character.

If done well, the audience will ignore the actors themselves; if done poorly, it will create a sense of dissonance and make the audience laugh.

For this reason, Cao Xuan himself will not be the permanent resident of "Run". Firstly, he does not want to be exposed too much, and secondly, he does not want to entertain himself too much.

At present, "Run" has not yet determined the number of members, nor how many men and how many women.

We just decided on the first member Liu Yan. She is a popular host in her own right. She doesn’t need to worry about excessive entertainment. She has a cheerful personality and has a selling point in appearance and figure. She is one of the most suitable candidates.

As for other permanent residents, the company is still considering it. Hu Ge, Hua Shao, Damimi and Huang Bo are important candidates, and it does not rule out looking for a few outside artists...

ps: The last chapter about Lee Hyori was deleted because I was not careful in checking the information. Thanks for the correction...

Double monthly pass, I’d like to ask for a few.
