Entertainment: I really want to make progress

"Shi Shi, hello."

At the end of the meeting, a slightly plump girl with short, ion-permed hair that looked like a lion's head took the initiative to say hello to Liu Shishi with a smile.

"Ah, hello."

This was Liu Shishi's first time coming to Mingjie Company. Naturally, he didn't know anyone, so he responded with a smile out of politeness.

"This is Zhang Yibei, the head of the variety show department of Mingjie Company."

Zhou Yutang greeted: "Sister Bei, please take Shi Shi to my office. I have something to discuss with Mr. Tian."

"Okay, Mr. Zhou."

Zhang Yibei made an OK gesture and led Liu Shishi to Zhou Yutang's office.

Although Zhou Yutang does not come to the company often, he is one of the bosses behind the scenes. Tian Ming also left a luxurious office for Zhou Yutang next to his office.

Along the way.

Even though Liu Shishi was fully armed, someone still recognized her.

After all, everyone is not blind.

Through Liu Shishi's body and temperament, as well as some other characteristics, one can easily identify such a popular actress.

But even if he recognized it, he wouldn't be as excited as the fans to bother him.

They are all high-level executives of Mingjie Company, well-known figures, and popular celebrities like Liu Shishi. We often see them cooperating with TV stations to produce programs.

Is the princess decent enough?

Is Jay Chou popular enough to explode?

These are all celebrity artists who have cooperated with the company and often come to the company for meetings.

Not to mention the alien professor Zhou Yutang who has become the dream lover of countless girls and young women.

"Hello, Sister Bei."

"Manager Zhang."

"Sister Bei's singer's ratings have exceeded 4%, congratulations."

On the way to Zhou Yutang's office, Zhang Yibei nodded and smiled in response to the compliments from many people.

Only then did Liu Shishi realize that the slightly plump woman next to him was actually the main person in charge of the popular variety show "I Am a Singer" on Mango TV.

Immediately in awe.

Awesome.

Zhou Yutang and Tian Ming quickly reached an agreement and made an appointment to have dinner together in the evening. When they returned to their office, they saw Zhang Yibei chatting happily with Liu Shishi.

"What are you talking about? Are you so happy?"

"Boss."

At this time, Liu Shishi was surprised to find that Zhang Yibei, who had just been aloof in front of his subordinates, now had a respectful attitude:

"I told Shi Shi that Deng Ziqi is going to debut this year, and you personally learned a few debut songs for her. The little girl is very excited."

"Haha, Deng Ziqi's debut song has been sent over. Let the people in the company's music department arrange it and make plans in advance."

Zhou Yutang explained: "Yixun Chan and Jay Chou have a concert in the first half of the year. I have already said hello and asked her to come over and be a guest. This year, depending on the situation, I will arrange for her to participate in the second season of I Am a Singer."

"Also, try to stagger the singer's second season with The Voice. You have to remember to coordinate with both TV stations, otherwise their respective ratings will be affected."

"Copy that, boss!"

Zhang Yibei professionally wrote down what Zhou Yutang said.

Zhou Yutang's arrangement makes sense.

The company signed a ratings betting contract. The higher the ratings, the more money it will ultimately receive. Only in this way can the benefits be maximized.

Liu Shishi sat quietly on the sofa, listening to Zhou Yutang's orders, with admiration in his eyes.

After talking a lot today, Zhou Yutang's throat seemed uncomfortable. She pressed her throat and her voice sounded a little strange. She got up and went to the small refrigerator in the office to get a bottle of mineral water and handed it over:

"Drink of water."

Zhang Yibei only glanced at it and asked, "Boss, is there anything else?"

"No thanks for now."

Zhou Yutang took the Evian mineral water handed over by Liu Shishi and drank more than half of it in one breath. When he saw Zhang Yibei walking to the door, he suddenly stopped and asked: "What, Sister Bei, what do you have to say? "

Zhang Yibei said, "Boss, um, my mother is a fan of Professor Zhou. Can you take a photo with me?"

"puff!"

Zhou Yutang squirted out a mouthful of water: "Your mother is a fan, why are you here to take a photo?"

"She can't get along in her hometown. I will take it back to her during the Chinese New Year to make the old lady happy."

"Fine."

Zhou Yutang was very tolerant of his top general in the variety show department and readily nodded in agreement.

Click, click, click!

While Liu Shishi was giggling, Zhou Yutang was forced to go to work and complete the photo with Zhang Yibei.

"Boss, I almost forgot, please sign for me again."

Good guy, the card Zhang Yibei used to sign was prepared in advance, and together with the pen, he handed it to Zhou Yutang diligently with both hands.

"..."

Zhou Yutang signed the name in a hurry, and Zhang Yibei walked to the door happily. Suddenly she seemed to remember something: "Boss, I almost forgot. It's my mother's 55th birthday soon. Please write a blessing for me."

"Can you tell me if you have any other requests?"

Liu Shishi was already covering his mouth and laughing happily, his body was twitching, and Zhou Yutang also sighed helplessly.

"It's really gone now."

"I wish my aunt good health and all the best."

"Shi Shi, bye!"

"Sister Bei, goodbye hahahaha!"

Seeing Zhang Yibei go out, Liu Shishi couldn't bear it anymore and fell into Zhou Yutang's arms, laughing heartily without caring about his own image.

"Sister Bei is so interesting."

"You're calling me sister so soon?"

Zhou Yutang hugged Liu Shishi's soft body and rested his head on her shoulder, close to the plain little face, and could smell the light fragrance of her clean and fresh hair.

"itch."

Liu Shishi twisted her waist and chuckled, "Sister Bei is very nice. She said she would take me to meet Deng Ziqi next time."

She usually doesn't make announcements and doesn't like to go out much. She just likes to stay at home and surf the Internet, shop online, and watch TV.

Liu Shishi has been following the entire two seasons of The Voice, a national-level variety show. He remembered the debut album Zhou Yutang mentioned just now, and asked with some curiosity: "I heard that you gave the stage name Deng Ziqi?"

"Well, the name Deng Ziqi is more domineering and easier for fans to remember."

Zhou Yutang nodded slightly.

After Deng Shiying appeared on the stage of The Voice, she changed her stage name to Deng Ziqi.

The company's affairs were finally settled, and Zhou Yutang took Liu Shishi to have a small gathering with Tian Ming and Zhu Jie in the evening.

Zhu Jie also expressed her gratitude.

Zhou Yutang helped her get the role of Xiao Ya in "Snow Leopard".

After drinking and having a good time together, it was already half past eight in the evening when we returned to Liu Shishi's house.

Snapped!

Close the door and turn on the light.

As soon as you enter the room.

Liu Shishi threw his bag aside first.

Taking the initiative, he hooked his hands around Zhou Yutang's neck.

Her soft body felt as hot as if she had a fever.

"It's all your fault, If You Are the One has been airing for half an hour, stop making trouble!"

Liu Shishi, who had changed into her nightgown, smoothed her hair, tied it with an elastic band on her wrist, and then angrily slapped away Zhou Yutang's dishonest hand on her thigh.

"Can you blame me?"

"It's your fault."

Zhou Yutang lay with his head on Liu Shishi's lap and used the remote control to adjust the channel to Jiangsu Province TV Station.

fine.

Don't miss out on the fun.

"If You Are the One" is currently airing.

The dynamic song "Can You Feel It" sounded, and a male guest made a shining appearance.

Bald Meng Feizheng was given a machine to let the male guests choose the girl they were interested in.

"This male guest looks pretty good."

Liu Shishi asked: "He chooses the girl who is attracted to him. Does the girl who is attracted to him know?"

"The male guest chooses the girl who is attracted to him, but the girl who is attracted to him may not leave the light for him. If he can stand to the end, he will have to make a choice between the girl who is attracted to him and the female guest who leaves the light for him. Everything depends on his subjective wishes. .”

"Sounds pretty interesting."

Liu Shishi nodded slightly. The twenty-four female guests obviously had a good first impression of the male guest. Only one person turned off the light.

The host asked: "I think this young man is pretty good. Can I ask you why you turned off the lights?"

One of the female guests said: "He is so handsome. Such a handsome man makes me feel insecure."

puff!

Liu Shishi laughed as loudly as the audience.

The male guest was speechless: "Like Zhou Yutang, I'm face-blind and don't think I'm handsome."

Meng Fei asked curiously: "When did Zhou Yutang become face blind?"

"Yes, he said in an interview that he is face-blind and doesn't think he is handsome."

As soon as the male guest opened his mouth, six more female guests turned off their lights one after another.

The situation is very bad!

Meng Fei interviewed one of the female guests: "I remembered it. Zhou Yutang seemed to have said something similar during the interview. I think the male guest answered the question correctly. Why did you turn off the lights?"

"I will not allow him to insult my idol."

The female guest said confidently.

Ha ha ha ha!

Liu Shi was so happy that the audience burst into laughter.

Lian Zhou Yutang couldn't help but chuckle.

In fact, there are routines when selecting people for this show, but it is impossible to be precise enough that every female guest has a line when speaking. This is all done by the female guests on the spot.

Not to mention, it has quite a program effect.

In addition to the host Meng Fei, there was another bald man and an intellectual woman sitting as guest teachers.

The bald guest teacher crossed his legs, made gestures, and commented firmly: "Brother, I feel like you are not very good at pleasing girls."

The male guest took the microphone and said directly: "Yes."

After chatting for a while, the VCR started to play, mainly introducing the career and living conditions of the male guests.

"I like writing, so after graduating from college, I worked in a cultural company and became a part-time online writer in my spare time."

More than ten lights were turned off in one breath. As the VCR played, female guests were turning off the lights one after another.

Liu Shishi shook his head and said sympathetically: "He works very hard. He works and writes novels at the same time."

The audience in the audience was also in an uproar.

This guy is still writing novels while working. He really wants to make progress.

Seeing that the lights were extinguished and only 6 were left, the intellectual female guest teacher took the initiative to speak for the male guest: "Actually, I think this is a very good boy. He is also working hard to develop a sideline business after work. In fact, you should not There are so many prejudices against online writers, but Zhou Yutang also wrote novels online at the beginning. I have read his "In the Snow", which is a very good online novel."

"But there is only one Zhou Yutang."

The bald judge’s speech hit the nail on the head: “Most internet writers don’t make much money.”

These words directly touched the minds of many female guests.

One of the female guests, Mano, took the initiative and said, "I think what Teacher Le said is very reasonable. I would like to ask the male guest, how is your income?"

"About 5,000 a month."

"All of them?"

Mano seemed shocked: "Are you satisfied with the money you earned?"

"Yes."

The male guest said frankly: "I am very satisfied with the money I have earned through my ability. I hope that I can work hard with my other half in the future to create a better life."

Three more lights were put out in a row.

This is so fucking real!

Meng Fei couldn't stand it anymore, shook his head and said: "This is a boy who works very hard. I think Mano you are too strict."

Mano is very confident: "I think I have the conditions to pursue a better life. We are not suitable."

"I have a question."

Bald Meng Fei asked, "As the male guest said, wouldn't it be better if you were together and worked hard to create a better future?"

Mano plausibly said: "But in this way, my quality of life will undoubtedly be reduced. My cosmetics, bags, and clothes to buy for different seasons are a huge expense. His salary cannot afford it."

Meng Fei has profound hosting skills and smoothes things over: "Life is ordinary. When two people are together, it doesn't mean who pays it unilaterally. Relationships need to be managed carefully. If you want to live a happy and fulfilling life, maybe it doesn't depend on brand-name cosmetics and bags." , but it’s about the good time you two spend together, maybe going to a restaurant to have a meal together, or riding a bicycle together, these are all worthwhile things.”

"Teacher Meng Fei, what you said makes sense."

Mano took the lead and said confidently: "If I were still in school and a little girl who didn't understand anything, I would be very touched when I heard your words. But now, I would rather cry in a BMW than on a bicycle. laugh."

"Isn't this too much?"

Liu Shishi was a little speechless, and the audience watching the show was also in an uproar.

The female guests on the stage looked sideways, and the bald Meng Fei was completely speechless.

Is this too much of a money-worship?

Zhou Yutang looked at Liu Shishi's reaction and felt a little happy.

Even the blind sister loves to watch it, and the ratings of this variety show are stable.

There are all kinds of female guests, but the focus is on reality.

Then the female guests expressed their opinions. Some supported Mano, while others chose to support the male guests.

One of the female guests said: "I really appreciate the male guest's attitude towards life. I am also engaged in cultural work and write online articles part-time in Jingjiang, so I will keep the lights on for you until the end."

"Please watch the VCR next!"

"But life has to enter another stage. Because my father is not in good health, I gave up my hobby and part-time job and chose to take on more responsibilities. I took over part of the business of my father's company, mainly engaged in youth online literature works. Film and television copyright development, thanks to Zhou Yutang, the price of youth online literature film and television copyrights has soared, and the company's performance this year is good."

Shock!

Looking at the video shown on the screen, the male guest’s luxurious villa and his car, a black BMW 740, were shown. He also changed into a handsome suit, combed his hair like an adult, and walked into the spacious office with high spirits, surrounded by dozens of company employees. He also said hello to the camera:

"Little boss, come on, bring us a little boss lady back."

"."

Everyone was stunned.

This guy works in his own company! ?

Even Liu Shishi opened his mouth slightly, not expecting such a reversal.

Zhou Yutang patted Liu Shishi and said, "Look at Mano's expression."

"Ha ha ha ha!"

Liu Shishi finally couldn't help laughing: "The program crew is really bad. Why did they give him a close-up of his face?"

Zhou Yutang shrugged: "If she plays truthfully, the world will treat her truthfully."

The expression of the female guest Mano was even more exciting. Her smile stiffened a little bit, solidified on her face, and finally disappeared slowly. She was extremely shocked, and finally settled in a daze.

It is simply a world-famous painting.

But looking at it makes me feel relieved.

"geegeegeebabybay~~"

Girls' Generation's song "gee" played, and the selected female guest came on stage.

at last.

The male guest chose the female guest who stayed with him until the end.

The girl was not pretty, but had a gentle temperament. Liu Shishi was very satisfied with the result and hummed the song along: "It seems to be a song by a recently popular girl group. The melody is not bad."

“The music in the show was well chosen.”

Zhou Yutang nodded slightly. He was very satisfied with the results of the program and was looking forward to tomorrow's ratings.

The program lasted for a total of 90 minutes, and after that, there were still male guests on stage. Some successfully held hands, and some were sadly sent away by the bald Meng Fei.

"This show is really good."

Liu Shishi hugged Zhou Yutang, thought of something, and laughed to himself: "You didn't notice the money-worshiping girl's last expression. It was really wonderful."

"There are still good girls. The one with the lamp on at the end is really kind."

While chatting about the program, his cell phone suddenly rang. Liu Shishi answered it casually. When he heard the voice on the other side, his body trembled and he was immediately shocked.

Zhou Yutang also raised his eyebrows slightly, and knew from Liu Shishi's mouth that this was a call from Liu's mother.

"Shh!"

He made a silence gesture towards Zhou Yutang, telling him to keep quiet.

"Shi Shi, why haven't you spoken for so long? What's going on with you over there?"

"It's okay, but the signal is not very good... Hey, Mom, why did you call me?"

"I was watching TV with your dad just now. It was the "If You Are the One" program on Jiangsu Province TV Station."

"What's wrong if you are the one?"

"I just said that the girl surnamed Ma is too obsessed with money. She even cried in the BMW. Your dad said this show is very real. This is the current social atmosphere. Do you think there is something wrong with his thinking?"

"I really need to criticize Dad."

Liu Shishi agreed in a serious manner.

"It's really pissing me off. The little girls nowadays are so shameless. I think of our past, let alone BMWs. I was as happy as if I was celebrating the Chinese New Year riding your dad's bicycle..."

Mother Liu chattered for a long time before she asked: "It's almost Chinese New Year, when will your company have a holiday?"

"We have to wait a little longer. There are still things happening at the company these days."

Liu Shishi chatted with her mother for a long time before hanging up the phone and talking to Zhou Yutang about work and life:

"Yu Tang, are you really going to the Spring Festival Gala?"

"Then there is still time for vacation. We have already rehearsed for three rounds."

"Awesome, reward me with a mua!"

"You know, this isn't the reward I want."

"Then what other reward do you want?"

"I want a heroine."

Zhou Yutang said with an upright face.

The heroine's leg skills are quite impressive.

However, Zhou Yutang's waist and horse became one, and he was known as the Governor of Jiangdong. He was braver than Fengxian and was not afraid.

After leaving Wenrou Township, Zhou Yutang went to Jiangsu Province the next day.

This time I stopped by to explain the situation, because it was confirmed that I would attend the Spring Festival Gala, and I would be spending the New Year in the capital.

Ms. Wang Fengqin was even more excited than Zhou Yutang and immediately informed her seventh and eighth aunts.

After staying at home for a short while, Zhou Yutang went to Jiangsu Province TV Station.

As soon as I arrived, I was treated with great courtesy by Deputy Director Zhou, and the entire top management of Jiangsu Province TV Station was all smiles.

Zhou Yutang asked curiously: "Boss, it's not the New Year yet, right? Did the TV station give out the year-end bonus in advance?"

"Yu Tang, you have to get a year-end bonus."

Deputy Director Zhou patted Zhou Yutang on the shoulder and couldn't even close his mouth: "Do you know the ratings of yesterday's "If You Are the One" program?"

"The premiere ratings were 2.34% and the audience share was 8.236%!"

"good."

Zhou Yutang nodded slightly.

This rating was within the expected range derived from his discussion with Tian Ming.

After the public opinion of the first episode ferments, it can be predicted that the next few episodes will become more and more popular.

This also means that he is about to make a lot of money again. The ability of domestic top variety shows to attract money is very scary. Various naming fees plus pre-roll advertising will generate at least 9-digit profits.

"ah?"

Deputy Director Zhou's expression twitched slightly, but he quickly recovered.

"If You Are the One" is a piece of pie falling from the sky for Jiangsu TV Station, and it has never had such wonderful ratings.

But considering that Zhou Yutang has done variety shows, I can only say that it is okay.

"The Voice" is a national variety show with a ratings of over 5%, and "I Am a Singer" was also a big hit, with the highest ratings in the latter part of the first season exceeding 4%.

Standing in front of him was the ratings king of the small screen!

Deputy Director Zhou's attitude became more friendly and enthusiastic.

Such a thick thigh, if you don't hug it tightly now, how long will it last?
