Entertainment From Divorce

Sunday,

Binhai City, Dongjiao Auto City.

In the showroom of Runhua Auto Sales Company, Lu Ming was squatting next to a medium-sized car, holding a rag in his hand and wiping the tires of the car diligently.

4S stores like this have very high requirements for the hygiene of the display cars, and sales staff are required to wipe them twice a day, once in the morning and once in the afternoon.

As a new graduate, Lu Ming naturally had to do this kind of car wiping work.

There is no way. This year, China's employment pressure is very high. There are more than 9 million graduates, but only more than 6 million jobs, which means that one out of every three graduates will not be able to find a job.

Lu Ming also came to this car sales company because his family had found an acquaintance through connections, and the treatment was pretty good.

It's just that his immediate boss, the sales manager, is a bit difficult to deal with. Seeing that he is a newcomer and doesn't know how to deal with things, he gave him all the dirty work in the showroom.

Another newcomer who came in at the same time as him was not troubled by the manager because he gave the manager some money.

But Lu Ming is different. His family is from a coastal rural family. It cost a lot of money to find a job, so where can he get the money to give to his supervisor?

After wiping the car, Lu Ming was sweating profusely. Just as he stood up and prepared to rest for a while, a fat figure appeared in front of him. It was their sales manager.

"Lu Ming, you are lazy again. Hurry up and wipe the car next to you. If you can't do it, get out."

Lu Ming had to pick up the rag and continue to wipe the car.

After the supervisor walked away, a salesperson came over and took the rag in his hand and said:

"Lu Ming, go and rest first. I will help you wipe it for a while."

Lu Ming looked up and saw that it was Lin Yang, another newcomer who came in with him. He also graduated from a university before, so the relationship between the two was very good.

"Thank you, I will buy you some water when I come back."

Lu Ming said gratefully, then walked to the chair next to him and sat down to rest for a while.

Lin Yang, who was wiping the car, turned around and said:

"Lu Ming, have you heard that Teacher Tan Yue has entered the variety show industry?"

Lu Ming, who was wiping his sweat with a tissue, heard this and said curiously:

"Isn't Teacher Tan Yue a movie director? How come he has entered the variety show industry?"

"What's so strange about this? Teacher Tan Yue is so amazing. Isn't the music album he released before also very awesome?"

"That's true."

At this time, perhaps because he had just sat here and drank a glass of cold water, Lu Ming felt a little stomachache, so he said to Lin Yang:

"Lin Yang, I'm going to the toilet first. I just drank a glass of cold water and my stomach hurts a little."

Lin Yang didn't care. It's okay. You go first.

After going to the toilet to defecate, Lu Ming felt much better.

So he lit a cigarette and opened his phone to browse. He had been wiping the car all morning. Is there any time to be lazy for a while?

When he opened Douyin, it was full of videos of Tan Yue's 13 Invitations program. Lu Ming opened a few and browsed them.

Lu Ming roughly knew about Teacher Tan Yue's Thirteen Invitations program, but he was curious why it was an interview program, because in the past, he thought that such programs had low ratings and not many people liked to watch them.

With curiosity in mind, Lu Ming opened a promotional video and watched it, and then he realized that the power of the program was very strong.

It was launched in cooperation with the Penguin platform. The host was Xu Nuo, and the guest was Tang Tianyun, a very well-known producer and host of Beijing Satellite TV.

Just as Lu Ming was about to watch the trailer again to understand the program, the cigarette in his hand was about to burn out.

I have been slacking off for a long time, I have to go back quickly, Lin Yang is still waiting for me outside.

…………

After get off work in the evening, Lu Ming dragged his tired body back to the rental house.

The rental house that Lu Ming rented was on the second floor of a commercial street in Weiyu. There was a shop below, and the landlord separated the single room above for sale.

Therefore, Lu Ming did not have roommates and lived alone.

The furniture in the rental house was also very simple, with a single bed and an LCD TV on the cabinet opposite.

There is a small folding table near the door, and next to it is a simple kitchen with only an electric hot pot and simple oil, salt, sauce and vinegar.

The most valuable thing in the entire rental house is the refrigerator next to the kitchen.

Lu Ming opened the refrigerator to see what vegetables were left in it and prepared to cook a meal.

But after opening it, he found that there were only a few slightly rotten cabbages left.

"Forget it, let's go downstairs to buy vegetables."

Lu Ming said helplessly.

When he came to the supermarket, because there were tenants working nearby, the proportion of uncles and aunts was still relatively low.

There were more young people in a hurry.

Lu Ming came to the vegetable area and bought a few potatoes, and then came to the meat stall to weigh two pounds of ribs, ready to go back and make potatoes and ribs stew.

However, the conversation between the two girls at the stall next to him attracted his attention.

"Have you heard that Teacher Tan Yue is filming a variety show?"

"Really? How come I didn't know about it?"

"It's all over Douyin, didn't you watch it?"

In addition, on the way back, many people were discussing this topic, which made Lu Ming even more curious.

Lu Ming is also a fan of Tan Yue, and he has watched every movie he has made.

However, Lu Ming doesn't watch many variety shows, and he only watches some outdoor reality shows.

It’s just about finding some fun for yourself when you’re bored.

Back at the rental house, Lu Ming started cooking.

More than half an hour later, a steaming plate of potato-braised pork ribs was placed on the folding table.

Lu Ming opened his phone, put it on the stand, and scrolled through his phone while eating.

Douyin is full of news about Thirteen's invitation to the program. At first I thought the name was nothing, but after thinking about it carefully, I felt it was quite meaningful.

Thirteen invitations, and moreover invitations. Isn’t this the meaning of an interview variety show?

As he browsed, Lu Ming suddenly thought of the trailer that he had not had time to watch in the morning, so he entered 'Thirteen Invitations Trailer' in the search bar above.

Sure enough, this kind of hot news is easier to search for, and a lot of videos related to it immediately appeared in the video column below.

Lu Ming found the official news released by Bright Entertainment Company and clicked on the video to play it.

The first thing that catches the eye is the title of the film written by the famous director Tan Yue, and the host promises that the first episode guest Tang Tianyun will be included.

Their conversations are different from other boring interview programs. They focus on the current social problems and the values ​​​​of young people.

Just the sentence in the trailer, "We are in an era with no truth, no consensus, and no certainty. The crisis of this era is not exactly the same as the crises of other eras. It is scary. Let It’s unsettling.”

Lu Ming felt that it was very instructive and targeted, rather than just talking nonsense.

After watching a few other videos, Lu Ming's rice felt a little cold.

He quickly picked up the chopsticks and didn't stop eating until he couldn't take it anymore while it was still hot.

After putting the leftovers in the refrigerator and clearing the table, Lu Ming lay down on the bed and turned on the TV.

The TV is also pushing information about the Thirteen Invitation Variety Show. Seeing such a huge promotion effort, and Lu Ming has watched many movies produced by Bright Entertainment Company before, although there is no guarantee that every movie will be a hit, but The quality is guaranteed.

This made Lu Ming even more curious, and he was even more looking forward to the broadcast of the program at 8pm on September 27th.

…………

September 26,

The pre-heating publicity for the Thirteen Invitations variety show is overwhelming on all major online platforms and video software.

On the Beijing Satellite TV variety show channel, as the advertisement ended, the Thirteen Invitations promotional video began to be displayed.

"Tomorrow at 8pm, the Thirteen Invitations program will be broadcast exclusively on Penguin Video!"

The promotional video also revealed more program details, including the speeches of host Tan Yue and guest Tang Tianyun during interviews, as well as the thoughts of the program staff, etc.

In addition to the Internet, people all over China are discussing Tan Yue's new thirteen invitation program.

Binhai Broadcasting University,

"Teacher Tan Yue's Thirteenth Invitation will be broadcast tomorrow!"

"Which of you has a Penguin membership? Let me use it tomorrow."

…………

Northern China, Harbin.

"Oh my God, did you hear that the variety show produced by Teacher Tan will be released tomorrow!"

"You shameless person, you already knew this, and you still need to remind me."

…………

There are also a lot of discussions on Weibo.

"Although I don't like to watch interview programs, I definitely want to support Teacher Tan Yue!"

"Judging from the trailer, this interview show is different from others. I really look forward to what kind of surprises Teacher Tan Yue can bring us!"

…………

Beijing, Bright Entertainment Company.

There is a lobby between each floor. This is where most headquarters employees work. There are many desks densely packed.

Because there are many people and many things going on, it is already very noisy.

But today is better than ever, because the employees have heard that this thirteen-invitation variety show is Mr. Tan's idea.

"Mr. Tan's music album was an eye-opener for us last time. We don't know what surprises it will bring this time!"

"Is it really Mr. Tan's idea? I don't think Mr. Tan has been to the program department recently?"

"A leader as big as Mr. Tan has to go there in person. Why don't we just leave it to his staff directly?"

"Didn't you hear that Mr. Tan handed over the program to Deputy Director Xu of the program department? Mr. Xu was responsible for this period of time, but the idea for the Thirteen Invitations program was indeed provided by Mr. Tang."

"I really want to hurry up and come to tomorrow afternoon. I'm really looking forward to tomorrow's premiere!"

"Me too!"

…………

September 27th,

Binhai City, in the Eastern Suburb Automobile City.

Lu Ming had just finished receiving a customer, and his face showed a happy expression at the moment.

Because he just made his first order this week, a middle-aged couple just ordered a car from him.

"Congratulations, Lu Ming!"

Lin Yang came over and patted Lu Ming on the shoulder, congratulating him.

"Everywhere, it's luck!"

Lu Ming said a little embarrassed, and then took Lin Yang to the customer reception area behind the exhibition hall, and found a seat for the two of them to rest for a while.

Lin Yang poured a glass of water for himself and Lu Ming, and then said:

"Teacher Tan Yue's Thirteen Invitation variety show will premiere tonight."

Lu Ming took a sip of water and said:

"I didn't expect that Mr. Tan Yue was planning to enter the music industry, but unfortunately, he turned out to be a talk show whose ratings have been sluggish."

Interview variety shows have been a niche in the Chinese variety show circle in recent years, because young people don't like to watch this kind of show, and the audience is mainly middle-aged and elderly people.

In fact, to put it bluntly, the subject matter is old-fashioned and can't attract young people.

"But just because it was produced by Teacher Tan Yue, I feel it is very novel. It happens to be the first broadcast tonight. How about watching the Thirteen Invitations program tonight?"

…………

In the evening, Lu Ming, who had just got off work, came to his rental house.

After making a simple dinner, Lu Ming took out his mobile phone and saw that there were more than 20 minutes before the Thirteen Invitations program started.

So Lu Ming moved the table in front of the TV, turned on the TV, and prepared to find another movie to watch.

Ten minutes later, Lu Ming finished his meal.

Put away the folding table and put it in a place next to the rental house where it would not get in the way.

Lu Ming walked to the bed and sat down, opened the Penguin Video homepage with the remote control, found the most eye-catching Thirteen Invitations column in the middle, and clicked it.

It was not time for the show to be broadcast yet, so Lu Ming had to watch the trailer first.

But at this moment, Lu Ming's mobile phone rang.

He took out his phone and saw that it was a call from a friend from college. After graduation, he also worked in Binhai City, but in the center of the city.

But the two of them were not far away from each other. It would take more than ten minutes to get there by bus.

Lu Ming picked up the phone and said with a smile:

"Erdan, what do you want to talk to me about?"

"Go to hell, you want to be my brother when you are not even older than me."

The friend on the other end of the phone laughed and scolded.

"Would you like to play cards?"

Hearing his friend calling him to play cards, Lu Ming hesitated.

Because the 13 Invitations program will be premiered soon, although Lu Ming doesn't like to watch variety shows, this is his favorite creation by Teacher Tan Yue, and he really wants to see what it looks like.

On the other hand, Lu Ming and this friend haven't seen each other for a long time because of work after graduation.

Lu Ming was hesitating in his heart, should he go or not?

"Lu Ming, why don't you say anything?"

The friend's urging voice came from the other end of the phone.

Finally, Lu Ming decided not to go. He would go to see his friends when he was off duty in two days. He would watch the premiere of Teacher Tan Yue's variety show tonight. After all, he had been looking forward to it for several days.

"Sun Yang, I won't go today. I feel a little uncomfortable today. I will go to see you when I am off duty in two days."

Lu Ming said.

"Okay then."

...

It was 8 o'clock in the evening, and Lu Ming clicked in on time.

Wow, the comments in the comment area almost covered the entire video page.

After Lu Ming closed the comments, the old tradition continued. First, there was a wave of joint advertising, and finally the screen came to the main film.
