From collapsed house idol to entertainment superstar

Ding Zhi just nodded to Li Xiuyuan and didn't say anything more after that.

In fact, many people have a subconscious tendency to be a teacher. To put it bluntly, it is an alternative way of seeking recognition.

This need to seek approval can sometimes be overwhelming.

For example: "I don't want what you think, I want what I feel."

Or: "My rules are rules."

And: "I'm really angry! Do you think I'm a fool if I don't get angry?"

!" (cross out this sentence)

Sometimes this need is covered with such a layer of skin.

For example: "Hey! You see, I am right! I told you to listen to me a long time ago!"

Another example: "Do you think I'm awesome?"

Or: "Let me tell you, I have the most experience in this. I have been blah blah blah..."

This has led to many coping methods.

The most classic one is: Are you teaching me how to do things?

After all, most people seem to prefer giving out ideas rather than receiving them.

Otherwise, "being able to accept advice" would not become one of the signs of a wise king.

Of course, the relationship between Ding Zhi and Li Xiuyuan is unusual.

Privately speaking, the two of them have an irresistible friendship, and it is a friendship that allows them to be each other's best man when they get married.

To put it bluntly, Ding Zhi was the person who led him into the industry and is now his real boss.

In terms of combat effectiveness, even though Li Xiuyuan is as fat as two people now, that thick fat is of no use at all. If Ding Zhi punches him with all his strength, the end result will probably be the same as a few years ago.

Taking these circumstances into consideration, Li Xiuyuan has always been kind to Ding Zhi.

After all, it has to be done even if it doesn't work. This was something that was said in the past and was called "military admonishment".

Li Xiuyuan also implemented Ding Zhi's "guiding ideas" and began to change his somewhat fixed thinking in recent years.

In the days that followed, after Ding Zhi intervened strongly in the first wave, he took over the initiative in the subsequent preparations, including the selection of guests.

After all, Li Xiuyuan is the overall person in charge of this variety show.

As the boss, Ding Zhi will give advice to the other party, but he will not take over all the work that belongs to Li Xiuyuan.

Regarding work, Ding Zhi will never try to be Zhuge Liang who "kills" himself.

Speaking of which, in fact, the program "Fist to Fight" was not very promising within Peach TV when the project was first established.

First of all, boxing is really a niche sport.

For example, previous niche and vertical competitive reality shows, such as hip-hop, hip-hop, and even talk shows that have gradually changed in flavor in the past two years, are better than it.

After all, singing and dancing are inherently entertaining.

boxing?

Not to mention its lack of fun, in fact, the sport itself has many unsatisfactory aspects.

Let’s talk about a statistic like this: the number of registered professional boxers nationwide is 142, of which there are only eight female professional boxers.

That's right, with a base of more than one billion, there are only so many active boxers.

The number of people who can even compete in international competitions can be counted on one hand.

Especially after the only domestic lightweight world boxing champion announced his retirement last year, it also announced the lack of the title of domestic world boxing champion.

To be precise, since last year, there has been no world-class boxing champion among the active boxers in the country.

Even the movement itself, from the top to the middle, seems extremely lacking and chaotic!

Therefore, Li Xiuyuan's "selection of talents" is no longer unpopular, but "unpopular."

The program was not well received, the genre was off-beat, and there were "auditions" required.

In the eyes of many people in the industry, most people think that Ding Zhi is playing tricks again and is afraid that he will be ruined.

To be honest, no one seemed surprised that Ding Zhi would do such a thing.

After all, this man has a wide range of interests, including screenwriting, directing, singing, fighting in the arena, playing the piano, etc. His interests are very wide.

Whenever he picks up the spatula, he tells everyone: Actually, I am still a cook.

Maybe not many people will be surprised anymore.

Just asking Li Xiuyuan to create a boxing variety show is actually within the understanding of most people. After all, what's wrong with a boxing champion in the entertainment industry wanting to hold a ring competition?

He is just a baby who was sentenced to 20 to 30 years in prison for one punch.

But correspondingly, for the guests of this show, don’t even think about inviting some relatively popular artists.

In addition, under the influence of Ding Zhi, the entire selection of guests has become extremely "strict".

Then the range of choices is greatly reduced.

For example, Yu Wenwen, who is relatively well-known to the public, can be recognized by many people just by looking at her face, and can be regarded as the "top star" of this show.

Most of the others who were notified by this show are third- and fourth-tier transparent people who are familiar with the entertainment industry, such as Li Yuan, Sun Rui, and Xiao Shunran.

The characteristic is that each has a certain fan base, but for the general public, they all fall into the state of face blindness of "Hey! Who is this handsome guy/beautiful girl?"

Anyway, all these factors are put together. Let’s put aside Ding Zhi’s big killer. This variety show is obviously full of “showing off”.

The only person who can praise and attract attention is probably Ding Zhi himself.

Just like online dramas are often rated within the platform, online variety shows will also be rated.

The program "Fist" received only an A rating.

You know, even though Ding Zhi, a popular top star, has been confirmed to join this show, it is still only A-level, which is enough to show that this variety show is not very promising.

...

...

Li Chuang is 28 years old this year.

A few years after graduating from college, I worked in first-tier cities for several years, and the money I saved was not enough for the down payment of a toilet.

My girlfriend whom I had been dating for several years sadly ended up parting ways because of house issues.

In addition, his parents were getting older and Li Chuang, who was not doing well in big cities, naturally "returned" to his hometown in a fourth- or fifth-tier small city.

Relying on my family connections, I managed to get a job that was a guaranteed job.

According to the current buzzword, that means lying flat.

Li Chuang, who worked nine to five, clocked out and entered retirement mode early, gradually adapted to this lazy and comfortable life.

What followed was that the already somewhat stout figure began to gain weight, and the swim ring on his belly became increasingly rounder.

If Li Chuang's classmates and friends in college were to see him like this, their jaws would definitely drop in shock.

Because Li Chuang was the president of the boxing club when he was in college. He even won first place in several amateur ring boxing matches, and was even interviewed by the local municipal TV station.

Even in several local university towns, he is a somewhat famous figure.

Who knew that in just a few years, it would become like this.

To be honest, Li Chuang didn't think about taking a stand, but to put it bluntly, inertia is like a bone-eroding poison that slowly penetrates people's will.

When he was busy in first-tier cities, he would make excuses for himself. He was so busy with work. When his work reached a higher level, he would intensify his exercise and lose weight.

Wait until you are completely free now to lose weight?

Aba Aba Aba Aba...

I have a leisurely job and have no thoughts of falling in love, so I have plenty of free time.

Watching dramas and variety shows after work has become a common thing.

After the ending of "Flower of Evil", this year's dramas are no longer particularly interesting.

As for variety shows, they follow the same pattern as they come and go. There are no surprises.

On this day, Li Chuang started fishing as early as three or four o'clock in the afternoon.

Suddenly a message crossed the screen of his mobile phone, and after finishing it, he flipped it back.

"Fist with all your strength? New variety show?"

With that said, Li Chuang smashed the name again.

"Generally, all programs with homophonic jokes have to be rushed to the market without exception. But..."

Li Chuang's eyes focused on another line of words - the first boxing reality show in China.

How does he feel at this time?

It's probably like the feeling that you've broken up with your ex-girlfriend for several years, and suddenly someone mentions something difficult about her in someone else's words, and you want to pretend not to care, but you can't help but prick up your ears.

Boxing, such a familiar yet distant word.

Li Chuang touched his six-pack abs, which were once melted into swimming rings.

At the same time, he set his sights on the first batch of guests, or the list of players, announced on the official Weibo.

Former badminton world champion Lin Fan, a celebrity from the talent show, singer Yu Wenwen...

Li Chuang curled his lips.

To be honest, I was looking forward to it, but I was also a little afraid of being disappointed.

I am looking forward to it because it is a domestic variety show or a reality show, and it is the first time that it involves boxing.

He is afraid of being disappointed because, as an amateur player who has been exposed to boxing, Li Chuang actually understands very clearly that boxing is not a sport that can be achieved overnight.

This is a sport that requires continuous training over many years to be able to achieve success.

So it is definitely not something that a dozen celebrity artists can do by practicing for ten and a half months.

With this delicate mood, Li Chuang continued to scroll down.

Along with the announcement of the first batch of guests, "Fist" also released something similar to a "pilot film" or trailer.

To be precise, it is a wonderful editing of shots of major artists or public figures during their "auditions".

It is estimated that even the guests who were auditioning at that time may not know that the recording of the show had already started at that time.

This "wonderful editing" is actually not very exciting.

But something unique is Ding Zhi's questioning mode.

His conversations with guests were more like chatting with friends.

There is no such thing as boxing as a hobby, it is something that is expected and cliché as it is exercised to strengthen the body.

The most frequently asked question by Ding Zhi is,

There is nothing better than asking the guests if they have ever had a fight, when was the last time they had a fight in their life, and what did it feel like.

...

...

——"Hahahaha! Ding Zhi and that Sun Rui are so funny. Is this an audition scene or a cross talk scene?"

——"Ding Zhi is up to something new again! I was waiting for his new work at Yana Bar, but he turned around and started playing variety shows! It's a bit unprofessional!"

——"Go back and make a movie! What kind of variety show are you playing? Is that what you should be doing? Ah, I will die if I don't watch Ding Zhi's new drama! (Expletive)"

First of all, the word "Ding Zhi" among the promoters of the variety show appeared on the official Weibo account, which quickly put this show on the hot search list.

This is also the reason why Ding Zhi has always been priceless in the variety show market.

God knows how much Ding Zhi's national popularity and fan popularity can help a variety show or a movie.

After all, there are only a few people like Li Chuang who pay attention to this show because they are interested in boxing itself.

More people pay attention to this program because of Ding Zhi's "popular spicy chicken".

On the other hand, almost four months have passed since the Spring Festival.

The box office miracle created by "The God of Medicine" still seems like yesterday.

But in fact, Ding Zhi has not released any new works for almost four months.

So in "Fist with Strength", the meaning of rubbing Dingzhi is actually obvious.

For example, the obvious "initiator" status is enough to prove this point.

——"So Ding Zhi is going to reenact the scene where he punched the Thai boxing champion again?"

——"The boxing champion in the entertainment industry has returned to the world, let us pick the next victim!"

——"Actually, even if there is Ding Zhi, I am not very optimistic about this show. What should I do? I looked carefully at the list of contestants. Except for Ding Zhi himself, there are all people I have never met before??"

——"Even if Ding Zhi goes to participate in a music variety show, I can trust him with songs like "Lonely Warrior" and "Life is Like a Summer Flower", but he ends up having a boxing match, which I always feel is nondescript.

."

——"It's okay, Ding Zhi, this is a classic operation that produces a good work and rewards himself with a holiday later."

——"Hey! I suddenly discovered that this program can actually be regarded as a plastic surgery appraisal! Those who dare to come to this program are probably original products, otherwise no plastic surgery face can withstand punches and kicks

A test?"

——"Are you kidding? Some people really think this is a reality show without a script, right?

I must be very responsible and tell many people that some scripts even record in detail the number of sighs you have to take between your lines."

While the outside world is still discussing about the staffing of "Fist" and what role Ding Zhi will play in it, the recording of this show is in full swing.

...

...

The staffing of this show is actually very interesting.

Initiator - Ding Zhi.

Ding Zhi serves as the official sponsor of "Fist to Go".

In fact, the positioning of this role is very vague.

To be precise, Ding Zhi's power in this show is unlimited, as he himself is Li Xiuyuan and even the boss of this variety show production team.

But on the other hand, his position in this program is somewhat alienated. He is not a player, nor will he be the manager of a certain "team".

Yes, just like in cosplay, a total of 12 celebrity artists form a "boxer" team and are divided into three teams, led by three managers respectively.

In fact, in Li Xiuyuan's original design, there should be 24 celebrity artists.

After subsequent reorganization and changes, half of it was directly deleted.

Many of the flashy "script conflicts" in the past have also disappeared.

Direct confrontation.

The punches hit the flesh, without a hint of confrontation.

Before even participating in the competition, all artists must first issue a disclaimer.

In other words, it turned a semi-entertainment reality show originally designed as a "popular science" type into a reality show that is infinitely close to real competition.

It's just that "dream chasers" are not ordinary amateurs, but celebrities and entertainers that many people are familiar with.

And in the first level of recording, it was a big surprise (scare).

Twelve of them are going to fight Ding Zhi in the ring.

It's not like that easy punch during the audition, but now in the ring, wearing the equipment and fighting one-on-one.

What the players have to consider is how to make their loss look better in front of the camera.

What Ding Zhi needs to consider is how to let go of the problem in order to make this kind of "game" look good while not beating the bad guys.

They all feel a lot of pressure.
