The straight man in the entertainment circle

On this day, when Lin Lizheng was finishing get out of class, he received a call from Song Wenjie.

"Son, let me tell you something."

"What's wrong?"

"The producer of "Tucao Pai" is here, that Li Shuai who always has that wedding dress advertisement at the elevator entrance. He wants to meet you in person."

This Li Shuai has become an Internet celebrity because of "Tucao Pai", and his popularity is not low. Lin Li naturally recognizes him after watching "Tucao Pai", but his appearance does not match the word "handsome".

"Is he at our house?" Lin Li asked.

"No, he doesn't know where our home is. He's at Yan's Gate now. He just didn't know if he could run into you, so he contacted me."

Lin Li didn't expect that Li Shuai would come to see him in person. He thought that since he was so sincere, he couldn't refuse him thousands of miles away.

"Okay, tell him to go to the coffee shop in front of the Yanda campus, and I will go find him."

Lin Li hung up the phone and went out. At the coffee shop in front of Yan University, Lin Li found Li Shuai.

Li Shuai is fatter than he looks in the video show. He wears a pair of round glasses, has a round face and small eyes.

They both recognized each other and found a secluded corner to sit down.

"Oh my god, I finally see myself, haha, Lin Li, hello, I'm Li Shuai."

"Hello, I've watched your show. It's quite funny." Lin Li said, "Are you here to ask me to be on the show?"

Li Shuai nodded with a smile and said, "I contacted your agent several times, but there was no reply. I was in a hurry, so I came here on my own."

Lin Li didn't lie, and said: "Then I'll tell you the truth. I've watched your show. The first two seasons were good, but this season seems a bit empty. There is almost no actual complaint, and there are a lot of forced explanations. This That’s why I didn’t agree to go.”

Li Shuai gave a bitter smile and said: "The problems you mentioned have been mentioned by the audience friends, and we can't do anything about it. In the first two seasons, the celebrities we found are all quite self-deprecating people. Let's talk about some of them." We need to communicate with each other and most of them are willing to cooperate with us."

"But we can't always invite these people. We have to find some stars to complain about. We have invited all the stars from the first two seasons, and now the remaining stars in the entertainment industry are not happy for us to talk about their dirty stuff on the show. So we have no choice but to either not say it, or to forcefully explain it after we say it, that’s it, many celebrities begged us before we agreed.”

"Hey, don't look at the fact that our program is ranked first in online variety shows, but it is useless to invite guests. It is not like those popular variety shows on TV stations, where celebrities are begging to come."

Li Shuai expressed his bitterness, which made Lin Li feel a little emotional.

Lin Li met Li Shuai from watching "Tucao Pai", where he was a mean and funny person, but he didn't expect that he would be so troubled in private.

It seems that it is not easy to run a program well. It is indeed difficult to balance the acceptance of guests and the taste of the audience.

Li Shuai also talked about some things about himself. He was originally an ordinary person. Because he liked to write jokes, he later recruited some people to establish a studio. At the beginning, he made some humorous short videos, and later he founded a program. idea.

However, in order to attract investment, they initially begged their grandparents to sue their grandma, and their family members were not very supportive. However, they did not expect that "Tucao Pai" became popular and became the most viewed online variety show.

But now, "Tucao Pai" has encountered a bottleneck.

After listening to what he said, Lin Li asked: "Then do you want me to be the main guest or the guest of complaint?"

Seeing Lin Li relent, Li Shuai hurriedly sat up straight and said, "Of course it's the main cast. Give us some lists of guests who are complaining, and we will try to invite them. Of course, two of them are from our program team."

"Did you write the complaint?" Lin Li asked.

"Yes, several people from our program team wrote it together. After we finish it, I will show it to you. You can see what can be said and what can't be said. We will then revise it. If you have any ideas, you can provide us with it. If you like it, you can add it."

Lin Li nodded and asked, "If I go, when will it be recorded?"

Li Shuai was delighted and said: "Our last period is at the end of this month. As long as it is before the end of this month, it will be fine. We can arrange the time according to your schedule."

Lin Li thought to himself that he would be recording the finals of "I Am a Creator" next week, followed by his birthday party, which would not be available until around the 12th at the earliest.

"Then let's take the 13th, it seems to be Saturday."

Li Shuai said "swish" and stood up: "You...you agreed?"

Lin Li had watched several episodes of "Tucao Pai" and had a good impression. This time Li Shuai invited him personally and talked about so many of his difficulties, which really touched Lin Li.

"It's okay to go, but I'm not here to recite the lyrics. I write my own complaints. As for other guests' lyrics, I don't care, and you don't have to show them to me. As long as they involve me, you can say whatever you want about me. You don’t mind if you write freely, you don’t need to tie your hands.”

Li Shuai was even more moved after hearing this. This was the first time he had met such a talkative chef.

"Really?" Li Shuai couldn't believe it.

"Of course it's true. My request shouldn't be too much."

"It's not too much, it's not too much. You don't know. We are exhausted from thinking about seven or eight people's words every time. We all know your numerous talents, so there must be no problem."

Lin Li heard Li Shuai's promise and said, "Okay, then I agree to go. You can talk to my agent about the rest."

Li Shuai didn't dare to disturb him and said: "Okay, okay, thank you so much. If you bother me too much today, I will treat you to dinner when I go to the show another day."

Lin Li smiled and said, "Okay, if you are still willing to treat me to dinner then."

Li Shuai was stunned for a moment, feeling that something was not right. Lin Li couldn't do anything wrong, could he?

Lin Li returned to school, told his mother the results of his conversation with Li Shuai, and asked her to talk to the program team.

After Lin Li finished his two classes in the afternoon and returned home in the evening, Song Wenjie negotiated with the people from the "Tucao School" and signed the contract in the afternoon.

"Son, the "Tucao Pai" program team wants you to provide a guest list. If they go to invite, it's best to provide more. They are afraid that some people will not be invited."

Lin Li has one main star of the "Tucao School", six guests, and one host. Among the six guests, two are from the "Tucao School", which means that according to the guest list provided by Lin Li, they will invite four people.

"The first one, let's write Ruobing." Lin Lida said.

Song Wenjie clapped her hands after hearing this and said: "Mother and son are connected. I mean the same thing. I haven't seen her for a long time. Just in time for her to come, I took her to Kyoto to play. Anyway, she doesn't seem to be well-known in Kyoto. She should go out. It doesn’t matter.”

Wu Ruobing is in her senior year of high school this year and has a lot of academic work. After "The Voice" ended, she participated in two programs, both of which were on Lychee TV. After all, Lychee TV is in Jinling, so close.

So although the number of Wu Ruobing's fans is also increasing, the popularity is no longer as high as when she first participated in "The Voice".

Not only Wu Ruobing, but also other contestants in this season of "The Voice" except Lin Li, seem to have no voice.

Especially the second place Li Mengfei. Logically speaking, she should be good in appearance and voice, and her ranking is not bad. She should be highly praised by Tianyun. However, all the internal resources of Tianyun are given to Wen Xin. It seems that Nothing happened to Li Mengfei. In the past few months, Lin Li hadn't heard anything from Li Mengfei.

Lin Li thought that he was not well-known when he first came to Kyoto, and smiled: "The first one is Ruobing, what about the second one?"

Song Wenjie said: "The second one? You think about it yourself."

Lin Li thought about it for a while. He knew a few people in the entertainment industry, but they were just acquaintances. It seemed that they couldn't have a deep friendship. At least they had friends who could complain about each other. Apart from Wu Ruobing, he really couldn't think of them. .

Lin Li thought for a while and said, "If I just write about Ruobing as a guest, will it appear that I have no friends?"

Song Wenjie smiled and said: "It doesn't seem like you have any friends!"

Lin Li: "..."
