Many people don’t know that [Happy Camp] was born out of an “infighting” between Hunan Radio and Television Stations.

In the 1990s, Hunan Radio and Television’s economic channel, which was the first to be launched as a star, gained rapid momentum, and its self-produced variety show "Lucky 3721" achieved an astonishing ratings of 66%.

In 1997, Mango TV officially went to stardom. In order to snipe the brother station's flagship program [Lucky 3721], the "Big Brother" Mango TV made full preparations for "Happy Camp".

After four draft cancellations and changes of producers, the first episode of "Happy Camp" was officially launched on July 11, 1997.

The earliest hosts of [Quick Book] were Li Xiang and Li Bing. At that time, He Jiong was still hosting [Big Windmill] on CCTV and Scarab Liu Chunyan.

In 1998, [Big Windmill] was revised. He Jiong resigned from CCTV and joined Mango TV to start his career as the host of [Quick Book].

In the early days, [Happy Camp] was really popular.

It relies on a new model that is different from old variety shows such as "Quyuan Zatan", "Zhengda Variety Show", and "Variety Show Grand View".

[Kuaiben] actively embraces the entertainment industry and constantly invites popular celebrity artists of the current period.

Bind celebrities to programs to attract the attention of fans and young people.

Along the way it has become the most popular variety show in the country.

It is the rule of the industry for celebrities to appear on variety shows and charge appearance fees.

In [Happy Camp], hiring celebrities never costs money.

"If you want to be popular, go to [Happy Camp]." Celebrities regard being on the Kuaiben stage as a symbol of popularity.

The international star David Beckham made his first global variety show appearance on Kuaiben; Wanwan artists, such as Zhou Jielun, Zhong Hanliang, etc., entered the mainland development and their first stop was also Happy Camp.

In the entertainment industry, fame and fortune are often interdependent, and the popularity of variety shows has made Kuaiben a money-attracting tool for Mango Channel.

Producer Long Mei once said that the annual production cost of "Quick Book" is only 10 million, while the advertising revenue exceeds 800 million!

However, with the popularity of [Happy Camp], there are more and more various problems and controversies.

For example, many people complain about watching others order dishes.

All first-line actors and top stars will be treated like "emperors" in [Kuaiben].

And the unknown stars can only be ignored in the [Quick Book], and they are not even qualified to be "green leaves" for top stars and hosts.

[Pretender] During the promotion stage, Jin Dong and Wang Kai were not as popular as the backup dancers.

During the "Legend of Lu Zhen", Zhao Liying was also disliked by the host of "Quick Book".

Then there is Hahan.

For a period of time, the Korean wave was very popular in the mainland, and there were many young people who liked Korean dramas and Korean stars.

Kuaiben, which is accustomed to embracing traffic, actively invites Korean celebrities. The host Du Haitao even kneeled down to Quan Zhilong in public.

Due to various problems and the increasing number of entertainment programs like "Running Man", "Extreme Challenge", and "Ace Funny Ace" in recent years, the ratings and popularity of "Happy Camp" have been declining year by year.

Until this year, the scandal of the hosting team accepting gifts from fans was exposed, and [Happy Camp], which had been in business for 24 years, was shut down in vain.

According to Mango Channel's consistent style, if they take the initiative to stop broadcasting, they will definitely squeeze out the value of [Quick Book].

Hold a grand farewell party, invite celebrities who have appeared on the show over the years, and set off a wave of memories.

In this way, the income from tickets plus advertising fees will be at least 100 million.

It can also be seen from this point that the sudden suspension of "Kuaiben" must not be so glorious. Even the revised version of "Hello, Saturday" seems hasty in every aspect.

After landing at Changsha Huanghua International Airport in the morning, Gu Wei called Zhao Jinmai.

The program was recorded in the afternoon, and the two of them made an appointment to have dinner together at noon.

"Brother! Did you miss me?"

In the private room, Zhao Jinmai, who was bored playing with his mobile phone, saw Gu Wei coming in and rushed towards him happily.

"Okay, you're not a little girl, so be careful outside."

Gu Wei gently hugged Zhao Jinmai and said something instructive.

"I've already kissed you, what's wrong with a hug? You're stingy!"

Zhao Jinmai let go of his hand and muttered.

Gu Wei shook his head helplessly and sat down to order.

"I want to eat this, this, and this"

He ordered two dishes, and Zhao Jinmai pointed at the pictures on the menu and told the waiter.

Gu Wei took a look and said, "It's all spicy. Aren't you afraid of getting angry and getting acne?"

"Of course you have to eat Hunan cuisine when you come to Changsha. I just eat a little bit and I won't get acne."

Gu Wei nodded, closed the menu and handed it to the waiter beside him.

“That’s it, and a bottle of Coke.

What do you want to drink? "

"I want orange juice!"

The waiter was a young girl. She took the menu and looked at Gu Wei and Zhao Jinmai with some excitement. She controlled her emotions and said, "Please wait a moment, our food will be served soon."

After saying that, he turned around and left the box.

After a while, the dishes were all served and the two of them started eating.

"I watched the live broadcast of the Golden Rooster Awards party. It's a pity that you didn't win the award~"

Zhao Jinmai put a piece of fish head with minced pepper into his mouth and talked while eating.

“It’s normal not to win an award.

Now that I think about it, if I get the Golden Rooster Award for Best Actor this year, it will probably do more harm than good.

Inevitably, many netizens will attack and say that there is an inside story."

"How is it possible? Your performance in [Send You a Little Red Flower] is so good. It's normal for you to continue to win the Best Actor Award!"

Gu Wei smiled and said, "The key is to 'keep winning awards'. Although [Send You a Little Red Flower] is good, I'm afraid that winning the Best Actor award consecutively is not convincing enough.

Even from my perspective, my performance is not much different from Zhang Yi and Liu Ye.

This award is justified for any of us."

Zhao Jinmai nodded slowly.

The two chatted for a few more sentences, and Gu Wei asked about her studies.

"You should have come from Beijing this time.

There is still a month before the Chinese New Year, and this semester is about to end. How are you preparing for the final exam?"

Zhao Jinmai took a sip of the juice beside her to hide the embarrassment on her face: "I came from Haikou.

After the school started in September, I stayed in school for less than a month, and then joined the crew to start filming [Life of Pi 2].

That play has not been completed yet, and I took leave this time."

"What about your final exam?"

Gu Wei reacted after he finished speaking: "The school can approve you to take a make-up exam."

He was like this a lot of times when he was in school.

I don't have time to go back to school for filming, but I can go back to school to make up for the final exams.

Zhao Jinmai nodded.

Gu Wei hesitated for a moment, and said earnestly: "With your current fame, there must be a lot of projects.

Filming does improve your acting skills, after all, practice makes perfect.

But I think many things taught in school are also very useful.

I hope you can master the knowledge taught in school while filming."

"Brother, don't worry.

I'm actually used to this rhythm of studying while filming. You forgot that I went through this in middle school.

Since I enrolled last year, my grades have always been among the top in the class, and I have never dropped."

After lunch, Gu Wei and Zhao Jinmai came to the backstage of Mango TV together to prepare to record [Hello, Saturday].

In Gu Wei's opinion, the biggest change of this program is still in the host.

They recorded the third episode of [Hello, Saturday] after it was launched. In addition to He Jiong, the hosts include Bridge, Qin Xiaoxian, Wang Hedi, Cui Lei, Feng Xi, Yuan Shuai and a virtual host.

Gu Wei was a little confused. He didn't know any of these newcomers except Wang Hedi, who he had seen in [Taohuawu].

Following the tradition of Happy Family, when Gu Wei and Zhao Jinmai were in the dressing room backstage, Teacher He brought a group of new hosts to see them.

After greeting everyone, Gu Wei chatted with He Jiong for a while, and then the group left the dressing room.

". Didn't you brag that you are very familiar with Gu Wei?

I saw that he was always chatting with Teacher He and didn't talk to you much"

The error-free version is reading! 6=9+Shu_bar first published this novel.

After coming out, Qin Xiaoxian raised his eyebrows at Wang Hedi.

"When did I say I was familiar with him? I just said I knew him.

Brother Wei went there for two days when we recorded [Taohuawu].

Didn't you see the first thing he said to me after greeting Teacher He after entering the door just now?"

Wang Hedi defended.

"By the way, Lao Qin.

Didn't you say you wanted an autograph? I saw you didn't say anything."

Qin Xiaoxian slapped his head: "Oh, I forgot. I was a little nervous after entering the door and didn't remember it."

Wang Hedi laughed: "Didn't you say you like Gao Yuanyuan? Why do you want Gu Wei's autograph?"

"My girlfriend is his die-hard fan, I asked for her."

"You have a girlfriend, haven't I heard about it?" Wang Hedi said in surprise.

"Outsiders, you must not tell others.

Most of the relationships in our industry are unstable. Maybe they will break up at any time."

Qin Xiaoxian waved his hand and didn't care much.

Wang Hedi understood immediately.

Male stars must establish a single persona, otherwise how can they attract female fans.

Now that they are not famous, they can talk first, if they become popular in the future, they will definitely break up.

Not long after, [Hello, Saturday] started recording.

In Gu Wei's opinion, this variety show is a bit like [Happy Camp], except that the hosts have changed a lot, there is not much difference.

Interactive games, talent shows, basically the same as indoor variety shows.

A social hot topic discussion session was added, where everyone sat together and chatted about a certain topic. To be honest, it was quite boring.

After an afternoon of recording, Gu Wei's biggest feeling was that He Jiong had worked hard. He felt tired just watching him host the show.

Without the support of the Happy Family, it can be said that He Jiong alone supported this show.

Although there were 8 hosts in this episode, more than in the previous "Happy Camp", it was He Jiong who controlled the rhythm of the show, He Jiong who cueed the process bit by bit, and He Jiong who passed the message to each host to stir up the atmosphere.

It's not that Mr. He wants to monopolize the hosting power, it's really because the other people in the hosting group can't lead.

Wang Hedi and Bridge felt like they were here to announce the show. After the two of them announced the show, they all waited for He Jiong to cue them, otherwise they didn't dare to speak at all.

Qin Xiaoxian was similar. He was in a trance throughout the whole process, and he couldn't even receive the message. He had no sense of existence at all.

Only three trainee hosts were relatively professional. They were originally the new generation hosts of Mango TV. Their reaction speed and ability to answer the call were very good, but they were also relatively unfamiliar. It seemed that He Jiong was "taking care of children" throughout the show.

Of course, how they performed had nothing to do with Gu Wei.

He was just here to promote the show.

During the recording, He Jiong would occasionally turn the topic to [Beginning], and in one session, he even played a clip from the show.

The whole show completely achieved the purpose of publicity.

Because of the foundation of [Happy Camp], [Hello, Saturday] has a good audience base, and more people watch the new variety show.

With Gu Wei's fame, the ratings of this episode are bound to increase significantly.

In the evening, after having dinner with He Jiong and others, everyone took a photo together. After that, these young hosts of [Hello, Saturday] came over to take photos with Gu Wei individually and asked for autographs.

Gu Wei has become accustomed to this situation and cooperated happily.

Handing the last autographed photo to Qin Xiaoxian, he couldn't help asking: "Are you really a crosstalk performer?"

"Yes, Brother Wei.

I am Mr. Guo's apprentice, and the Xiao generation of "Yunhe Jiuxiao".

I know you have a good relationship with Mr. Yu, Qilin and Senior Brother Yue Yunpeng. We are all family members." Qin Xiaoxian showed a flattering smile on his face, and his eyes narrowed into a slit when he smiled.

Gu Wei blinked his eyes and forced an awkward but polite smile.

He thought that all crosstalk performers were good at speaking, and Yu Qian and Guo Qilin, whom he had met before, were both like this.

His mind was very quick and his emotional intelligence was also very high.

Meeting Qin Xiaoxian today changed his view. It seems that no matter what profession, it still depends on the person.

Crosstalk performers are not necessarily good, maybe they just rely on reciting the words.

After finishing his work in Changsha, Gu Wei flew back to Beijing.

In a blink of an eye, the last month of 2021 passed.

Many popular movies were released around the New Year's Day period.

The box office of "Love Mythology" starring and produced by Xu Zheng was only more than 200 million, which is his lowest box office in recent years.

This low-cost love drama is said to have an investment of 90 million, and Xu Zheng's salary alone is as high as 30 million.

Although the movie barely recovered in the end, no one expected that with Xu Zheng's influence, his movie would only have more than 200 million.

Especially when the reputation of this movie is still very good.

After "Lost in Russia", the consequences of Xu Zheng's offending the cinema have begun to slowly emerge.

Moreover, with the decline in reputation of two movies, "Lost in Hong Kong" and "Lost in Russia", his appeal has also declined a lot.

The comedy "Li Mao Plays the Prince" performed by the Happy Twist team is not surprisingly a bad movie, with a Douban score of only 4.3.

Chang Yuan and Huang Cailun have become the professional bad movie producers in the hearts of the audience.

Facts have proved that Happy Twist only has one Shen Teng, and the others are either making bad movies or on the way to making bad movies.

In addition, "Super Family", which was originally scheduled to be released during the Spring Festival, announced its withdrawal, and another movie of Happy Twist, "The Killer Is Not So Calm", remained unchanged during the Spring Festival.

During the New Year's Day period, the best box office was Xue Xiaolu's "Embracing You Through the Cold Winter".

This movie is similar to the previous "Chinese Doctor", which belongs to a special theme movie.

Huang Bo, Jia Ling and other stars joined, and finally received a box office of more than 900 million.

It's just that the word of mouth is seriously polarized.

Some viewers think it is deeply touching; some think that the director deliberately sensationalizes, and the story and character portrayal are particularly poor, and it is a bad movie.

On January 4, the time-space cycle TV series "Beginning", which had been preheated for a month, was officially broadcast online on Tencent Video. (End of this chapter)
