Choose a day to become famous

Liu Zhiyin was sweating profusely while practicing dancing.

During the break, she wiped her sweat with a sweat towel and went to drink water.

The assistant said: "Lu Yanhe is on the hot search again."

Liu Zhiyin was a little surprised and asked: "Why this time?"

"A segment of his preparation for "Young Days." The assistant said, "This is the fourth time he has been on the hot search this week."

Liu Zhiyin nodded, "He has a lot of topics recently."

The assistant smiled and said: "Sister Zhiyin, should we also make some topics?"

Liu Zhiyin looked at herself in the mirror.

After so many years of training, she has a graceful and sexy figure, with exquisite curves, and is often praised by fans.

Compared to the operation of topics, Liu Zhiyin is actually more familiar with this way of trying to prepare a stage and blooming on the stage.

However, the domestic entertainment industry does attach great importance to topics and the "topicity" of artists in the online environment.

In the past year since Liu Zhiyin returned to China, she has also had a strong feeling about this. Compared with the industrial model of idol artists that she was familiar with overseas, there are no mature and supporting job opportunities in China.

Her agency is even helping her choose scripts and wants to send her to the crew to act.

Liu Zhiyin is not averse to acting, but she is unfamiliar with this model. Because she has never had a fixed stage and no plan to release an album, it seems that any work she does is just consuming her original popularity. There are almost no jobs to bless her. Her popularity is indeed increasing, but there are not many fans who are really attracted by her.

After working with Liu Zhiyin, many partners have a very common evaluation of Liu Zhiyin, that is, they think Liu Zhiyin's style does not match the domestic entertainment, too real, too serious.

This is also because Liu Zhiyin rarely appears in variety shows of "reality show" nature. In the past, they were all "game" or "interview" nature.

She doesn't know how to make some "effects" on "reality shows", and her personality is not very good at "effects".

The assistant said: "Lu Yanhe is so popular now, why don't you get in touch with him more in the show, Sister Zhiyin."

In the first episode of the show, Liu Zhiyin did not have a very outstanding performance, of course, much better than in other shows. She is usually considered utilitarian, too aggressive, and exhausting when she appears on other shows, but in "Young Days", because most of her performance is "lazy and gluttonous", this characteristic becomes her characteristic.

Liu Zhiyin shook her head and said, "I don't want to stir up topics with people, and those topics are not stir-fried."

The assistant shook her head, "Nowadays, there are no topics that can be popular without being stir-fried, and there are marketing behind them."

Liu Zhiyin knew that what she said might be right, but deliberately marketing some topics and finding materials that everyone is interested in to market are two different things.

-

"Sister Zhiyin is so thin now."

During the second recording of the show, Xiao Yun hugged her arm with envy and jealousy, "Alas, I have gained several pounds of meat."

"I see Sister Zhiyin often posts photos of herself in the rehearsal room, practicing dancing every day." Lu Yanhe said, "Why don't you move more."

Xiao Yun: "How dare you say that to me? You haven't exercised since you finished filming "Phoenix TV."

Lu Yanhe: "I don't like to eat as much as you do."

Xiao Yun: "...Ah!"

She screamed angrily.

The others burst into laughter.

Liu Zhiyin also laughed so hard that she patted Xiao Yun and said, "Dancing is fun. You can really try it."

"If I could dance with these four limbs, I wouldn't be an actor." Xiao Yun said seriously, "My mother sent me to learn dancing when I was a child. A week later, the teacher came to my mother and said that people should choose a path that suits them and not waste time on a path that doesn't suit them."

She looked like she had no hope for life.

Everyone burst into laughter again.

Liu Zhiyin suddenly thought of something and looked at Lu Yanhe and the others, "You guys should be good at dancing, right? I saw a report saying that you were also in a group."

Lu Yanhe pointed at Yan Liang and said, "He dances the best, he really dances well, the dance leader, I am just an average student who tries to keep up and doesn't drag his feet, Li Zhibai is the worst, of course, he dances better than me, he is just lazy and refuses to practice."

Liu Zhiyin nodded.

"Are you going to record another program later, a program specifically for idols?" Lu Yanhe asked.

Liu Zhiyin: "Yes, I know Li Zhibai and Yan Liang will also go, right?"

"Yes." Yan Liang nodded, "Preparing the stage."

Li Zhibai suddenly remembered something, "Then we can cooperate on one stage."

Lu Yanhe said disdainfully: "Forget it, from what I know about you, you can't keep up with Sister Zhiyin's practice intensity, Yan Liang is OK."

Li Zhibai said arrogantly: "My stage control is top-notch."

Liu Zhiyin said with a smile: "We can discuss it later."

Song Linxin looked at Lu Yanhe and asked: "Didn't you participate?"

Lu Yanhe shook his head and said, "I have a lot of classes this semester, and I have to prepare for the filming of "Friends", so I have no plans to record this program for the time being, but there should be one or two stages to perform. The program team contacted me, because it is a program that is planned to be done throughout the year, there is no rush to finish recording in one or two months. I will still go if I have time and prepare a good stage later. After all, I also debuted as an idol artist. Although my strength is not very good, I still have a heart that wants to make a good stage."

He asked Qin Zhibai and Song Linxin, "Have you received an invitation from the program?"

"I received it, but I am still hesitating." Song Linxin said, "I can only sing, not dance. My agent and I are worried that a stage with only singing will not have much advantage in that program, after all, it is a competition."

Qin Zhibai also nodded and echoed Song Linxin's words.

This is indeed a concern of many artists.

If it is not a traditional idol artist's performance stage, other forms of works can easily be compared with a stage with an explosive atmosphere.

And once they rank behind, they will give the public an impression that they are really not as good as others.

"The main reason is that there has never been such a program in China where famous idol artists compete on the same stage, and we don't know what this program will look like." Yan Liang said.

"There was no such thing before." Li Zhibai said, "Usually, there was a formal stage performance at the party."

Liu Zhiyin said, "Now there are some music festivals that invite me to perform."

"In the past, music festivals were mainly niche and avant-garde music, but now they are becoming more and more diverse." Peng Zhixing said, "I used to go to various music festivals, and I went to a lot of them."

Qin Zhibai: "I have been to music festivals and the atmosphere is very good."

Song Linxin nodded and said, "The atmosphere at the music festival is really good. I can sing very happily every time at the music festival."

"After all, music is not the key to stage performances at parties." Peng Zhixing said, "The atmosphere of the music festival is just music, and the audience on the scene basically comes for the music. The feeling is really different."

Lu Yanhe turned around and whispered to Li Zhibai and Yan Liang: "Have you two been to a music festival?"

The two shook their heads together.

None of the three of them are singers who are good at singing. On the contrary, after Lu Yanhe's "Remember" became popular, he received many invitations to music festivals. Maybe he thought that this song was more in line with the tonality of the music festival, very youthful and campus-like. However, Lu Yanhe was preparing for the college entrance examination at that time, so he turned down all of them.

Later, probably because Lu Yanhe's actor attribute was more well-known, except for some evening parties, there were not many singing invitations.

Even the director of "Little Song Gathering" did not contact him again.

Liu Zhiyin said: "I don't dare to perform at this kind of music festival."

"Why?" Everyone looked at her in confusion.

Liu Zhiyin said: "Because I was in a girl group before, we all performed together on the same stage, and the songs were the same. Basically, there were no solo songs. And after I returned to China, the copyright communication was not very smooth, and many songs could not be sung. So now, I can only cover other singers' songs. Originality is still more important at music festivals. I always feel that it is strange to always sing other people's songs at music festivals."

Lu Yanhe listened to Liu Zhiyin's song and inexplicably heard some inferiority and sadness from her words.

Mingming is usually such a hard-working and enterprising person.

Xiao Yun asked in confusion: "Didn't your company help you buy songs and release singles?"

"It is also collecting songs, but because I just came back not long ago, if I really want to create a good album, it will take one or two years to come out. I have to work hard and can't let everyone forget me." Liu Zhiyin sighed, "In fact, recording the show with you is already the most relaxing time for me. It seems that only when I record the show with you, there will be fewer voices scolding me."

Everyone looked at each other.

This is… a little hard to answer for some reason.

Lu Yanhe immediately replied: "Because this is the first program you recorded after returning to China, the audience knows you. When everyone gets familiar with you, they will definitely know that you are a good person, and there won't be so many misunderstandings about you."

Song Linxin laughed and said: "Sister Zhiyin, how about I write a song for you?"

"Ah?" Liu Zhiyin was stunned, and looked at Song Linxin with some surprise, "Really?"

Song Linxin nodded.

Everyone knows that Song Linxin can write songs.

However, generally, the songs written by Song Linxin are sung by herself, and she has never written songs for others.

When Lu Yanhe heard what Song Linxin said, he suddenly remembered that he had promised to write a song for Li Zhibai and Yan Liang.

Both of them are going to record "Idol Era", and giving them this time will just give them a new song to perform on the show.

-

Yuming almost became autumn overnight.

Lu Yanhe woke up and sneezed without reacting.

It was a loud sound.

Mao Jiayang came back from a morning run, breathing out white air.

Lu Yanhe wrapped himself in a blanket, sat on the bed, sleepy, and asked: "Is it cold today?"

Mao Jiayang nodded and said: "It's cooled down, almost only ten degrees."

Lu Yanhe: "No wonder it feels cold."

Mao Jiayang asked: "Do you have classes in the morning?"

"There are classes." Lu Yanhe's face was full of pain, "I really regret that I chose so many elective courses at 8 o'clock in the morning for myself."

Mao Jiayang laughed.

"What time did you go to bed last night?"

"Twelve o'clock." Lu Yanhe yawned as he said that, "There's a lot of homework."

Mao Jiayang: "If you hold on a little longer, we'll have winter vacation."

"There are still two months, right?" Lu Yanhe yawned again, and this time he really woke up.

It’s only November.

Winter vacation is not until early January.

Mao Jiayang: "Classes will be completed one after another in December."

"That's true." Lu Yanhe said, "However, by December, I will also start filming "Six People", and there will still be a lot of things to do."

Mao Jiayang: "I think the actors for "Party of Six" have not been found yet? I also saw a message from the media yesterday saying that you are selecting actors."

"We are indeed still looking for actors," Lu Yanhe said, "Because it is a sitcom, rather than looking for actors with particularly good acting skills, we hope to find people whose personalities are close to and similar to the characters, so that the filming will be much smoother. "

Mao Jiayang didn't know much about acting, so he nodded after hearing what Lu Yanhe said.

Lu Yanhe got out of bed and asked, "Why did you get up so early today?"

Mao Jiayang said: "Because I want to accompany Xiaoxiao to shoot something."

"What to shoot?"

"She wants to make a documentary about a breakfast restaurant. It's an assignment for photography class."

“Should journalism students learn photography?”

"Yeah." Mao Jiayang said, "It's still a compulsory course, and I also need to learn editing."

Lu Yanhe changed his clothes, picked up his schoolbag and went to the cafeteria.

There were not many people on campus, which made people think that many people had not gotten up, but once they entered the cafeteria, it was not at all lively like a cooling morning.

Lu Yanhe bought a bowl of beef noodles. When he was looking for a place, Wang Xiao suddenly waved to him in the crowd, "Yanhe!"

He signaled that there was an empty seat opposite him.

Lu Yanhe passed with a smile.

"I haven't seen you for a while." Wang Xiao said.

Lu Yanhe said: "I'm either in class or recording programs outside, or I have other jobs. I'm very busy during this time."

"Let me tell you, I used to see you often in school. I haven't seen you in the past half month. I thought you were knocked down by the voices on the Internet and were too embarrassed to go out."

"No, why not?" Lu Yanhe smiled, "Besides, it's actually not bad. I look online now and there are still many people who support me."

Wang Xiao was about to speak but stopped.

"What's wrong?"

"Everyone supports you, but they are still not optimistic about the results of "Six People"." Wang Xiao hesitated and asked, "What do you think? Do you want to take on such a drama that will only be broadcast by a TV station?"

Lu Yanhe: "There are many reasons. Taken together, I am willing to give it a try. If the broadcast results really don't work, forget it."

Wang Xiao said: "Are you really not afraid of failure at all? When the ratings drop, your reputation will also drop."

"How can I not be afraid?" Lu Yanhe said, "But I think it's okay even if it fails. They want to adopt such a broadcast format. I think it's not good for a sitcom that is broadcast weekly. "What the heck, if it wasn't a weekly show, if it wasn't only eight episodes, or if it wasn't a sitcom, I might be a little more concerned and maybe not shoot it."

Wang Xiao was a little surprised and asked: "Is there any difference between them?"

"Because the correlation between each episode of a sitcom is not particularly strong. It is not like leaving you with a mystery in the previous episode and solving it for you in the next episode. It is like a few fixed people playing different roles. It’s the same as story sketches. Once a sketch is finished, it’s over,” Lu Yanhe said, “After the first episode was broadcast, everyone thought it was good and left such an impression. By the next week, if nothing happens, they would just sit in front of the TV and watch it again. The second episode is ready, it’s not too long, only 20 minutes. I think the format of “Six People” is suitable for broadcast on a TV station.”

"Wouldn't it be more suitable to be broadcast on a video platform?" Wang Xiao asked.

"Maybe, but according to the algorithm of the video platform, it may not be really popular." Lu Yanhe said, "First of all, if it is a network broadcast, then most people who are interested in the drama will choose to watch it on the video website, and the situation The absolute number of viewers who are interested in comedy is not as large as that of dramas with other themes. I don’t know if you watch the drama or not, but in the current environment, one is that sitcoms have not had a hit for a long time. , no platform will be optimistic about it and give it good publicity and distribution resources. The other is that the more episodes the drama has, it has an advantage on video websites because it can retain users and increase the time spent watching the drama, and we are eight The episode is broadcast weekly and only lasts 20 minutes. The small number of viewers who can contribute to the video platform in terms of the number of users, viewing time and membership acquisition is very disadvantageous. Instead of this, it is better to put it on the TV station alone. Broadcast, maybe we can make a comeback.”

When Wang Xiao heard what Lu Yanhe said, he showed an expression of sudden realization, "So there is something else to say."

Seeing Wang Xiao's expression of realization, Lu Yanhe quickly said: "This is just my own judgment. It may not be right. Don't think it's true. I don't know if it's right or not. Maybe I'll wait until the show is aired. , and it proves that I was wrong, it’s not the case at all.”

Wang Xiao: "It sounds reasonable to me. No matter if it's right or not, as long as you didn't make the decision casually, I thought you were deceived."

Lu Yanhe didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and asked: "Is this thing so outrageous? It makes you think that I have been deceived."

Wang Xiao: "You can't blame me for this. Almost everyone doesn't understand this approach."

Lu Yanhe: "That's because people don't know that this drama was intended to try this approach from the beginning, so the production cost was kept very low. With the average ratings of Beijing and Taiwan, and after the broadcast, it will definitely be sold to video websites Yes, it’s basically impossible to lose money.”

Wang Xiao nodded.

Wang Xiao suddenly smiled and asked: "How about you bring the crew of "Six People" to the forum of our Youth Association for a sharing and exchange activity before the broadcast?"

"Ah?" Lu Yanhe was stunned.

Wang Xiao said: "At least it can be publicized."

"Put it down. They are all college students and they don't have TV sets. They are not our target group." Lu Yanhe said.

Wang Xiao: "Who are you looking down on? They are all college students who are about to go back for winter vacation. Who doesn't have a TV at home?"

He added: "Also, haven't you seen these TV sets in the cafeteria?"

Wang Xiao raised his head and gestured to the TV hanging on the wall and wall pillars in the cafeteria.

Usually the news is played here.

Wang Xiao said: "I will help you set up several canteens in the school. You bring them to the Youth Association for exchange activities. I will let you broadcast this drama on every public TV in the school." "Six People".

Lu Yanhe looked at Wang Xiao in surprise and didn't know what to say for a moment.

Finally, he smiled sincerely and said, "Senior, I have known you for so long, and I finally realize how lucky I am to know you."

-

"Phoenix Terrace" arrived at this time as promised.

One week before the broadcast, the schedule is set.

Later, Lu Yanhe received a notice from the crew and cooperated with the crew's promotional activities. He attended the press conference in Yuming and joined the main actors online to talk about some interesting things during the filming to promote the show.

The level of "Phoenix Terrace" is top-notch.

This kind of drama may have a weak following, or it may have a good reputation, but it will definitely not be a hit on the street. This is the biggest difference between dramas and movies.

Basically, for dramas that attract a lot of attention, they only have good word-of-mouth and popularity, but not good broadcast data and popularity. Basically, they are not much different.

Especially for those dramas with huge reputations, you will find that their broadcast data is completely inversely proportional to their reputation.

The more fierce the scolding, the better the broadcast.

At first, Lu Yanhe thought it was because the capitalists were rich and could afford to buy data. Later, he gradually realized that it seemed that it was not that simple.

Lu Yanhe played a supporting role in "Phoenix Terrace".

Because Lu Yanhe's status has soared in the past six months, he obviously joined the cast of "Phoenix Channel" as a supporting actor. When it was officially broadcast, the show gave Lu Yanhe a special guest starring role.

Lu Yanhe thought it was Chen Ziyan who asked for it on his behalf, but Chen Ziyan said that she had never bothered with the show about this matter.

Chen Ziyan is an agent who sees further than Lu Yanhe. It is impossible for her to dwell on such nonsense in Chen Lingling's drama.

Then Lu Yanhe realized that this was Huang Cheng reciprocating a favor and thanking Lu Yanhe for remaining silent in the incident between Lang Xia and Chen Wenwen.

Because "Phoenix Channel" was broadcast on Beijing and Taiwan, Lu Yanhe also went to a popular show on Beijing and Taiwan with the crew to promote the show.

Lang Xia did not appear.

It is said that the crew deliberately removed him from the publicity team, not wanting his personal affairs to affect the public opinion of the show.

The first episode of "Phoenix Channel" received a good rating of 0.645% on Beijing TV - the finale of the TV series it followed even had a ratings of only 0.424%.

So, why are all platforms rushing to get this kind of S+-level drama?

The broadcast data of "Phoenix Channel" on video websites is even better.

Within an hour after it went online, more than five million viewers clicked to watch it, making it quite a show king. (End of chapter)
