on the plane.
Shen Jian was drinking his cola.
While checking the completion rate of their own persona.
Based on the performance over the past few days, we have already achieved about one-third of the goal of connecting with the people.
However, he felt it was still too slow.
People his age already earn 250,000 yuan a month, and a single drama series brings in over 100 million yuan in revenue.
Anyone would be anxious in this situation.
The entertainment industry waits for no one.
If you're late to the game, you'll lose money.
However, he was not greedy.
Once you've earned 30 million, you can start.
"Ah Liang, let's talk."
"..."
Liang Mu was just putting on his earplugs and getting ready to sleep when Shen Jian interrupted his spellcasting.
Upon hearing the word "chat," the corner of his mouth twitched.
I couldn't help but recall the fear I felt a few days ago on the plane when Shen Jian dominated me.
He refused to become the second Sister Zhou.
"Let's stop talking now. Before boarding, General Manager Yang called and told us to go back to the company for a meeting as soon as we get off the plane."
I guess it's about your upcoming resources, so you should take a break so you won't be too tired for the meeting this afternoon.
"It's okay, I'm all ready." Shen Jian took out a can of Red Bull and the coffee that the flight attendant had just poured.
Liang Muren was dumbfounded.
"Are you even human?"
"unimportant."
"..."
...
Three hours later.
The plane landed at Beijing Airport.
It's possible that there was something really important to discuss, because Yang Tianzhen even sent a company car.
It was the same minivan they rode in when they participated in "Mercury" before.
Shen Jian still remembers that the driver was a taciturn, handsome old man named Master Zhu.
Lin Youyou once told him that Master Zhu was a veteran employee of the company.
He was there when Yang Tianzhen first founded Yixin Entertainment.
In a sense, they can be considered veterans.
"Thank you for your hard work, Master Zhu. I'm sorry to trouble you again."
Although Liangmu was listless, he still knew how to be polite.
The driver nodded and then started the car.
On the way back.
I received an inquiry from Yang Tianzhen on WeChat.
【Shenjian Business Group (7)】
[Yang Tianzhen @ Liangmu: Have you arrived yet?]
[Shen Jian: (乛◡乛) Guess.]
[One more hilarious joke]
[Yang Tianzhen: ……]
[Yang Tianzhen: Where is Liangmu?]
[Shen Jian: He's taking a shower. Talk to me if you need anything.]
[Lin Youyou: !!! ]
[Zhang Shan: !!!]
[Li Si: !!! ]
[Semir: Wow~.]
[Yang Tianzhen: @Shen Jian! Do you want to die? Speak like a human being!]
[Shen Jian: Ծ‸Ծ Oh, Manager Liang probably fell asleep because he was working too hard.]
[One more hilarious joke]
[Yang Tianzhen: Come directly to the conference room when you arrive at the company.]
[Shen Jian: OK~.]
...
One hour later.
The car was parked in front of the Yixin Entertainment Building.
Shen Jian and Liang Mu got out of the car and went straight to the conference room without even bowing.
At this moment, Yang Tian was discussing with her team.
They saw the two of them come in.
He then signaled for everyone to stop.
"I'm back."
Liangmu nodded: "President Yang."
Shen Jianli stood at attention and saluted: "Reporting to Sister Yang, the mission was successfully completed."
"Shut up and sit down right now."
Yang Tianzhen was speechless, but she had learned about Shen Jian's performance from He Jiu.
There's a very high chance the production team will give him more screen time during editing.
When "Refrigerator" premieres at the end of the month, it's expected to generate considerable buzz and discussion.
Of course, He Jiu also told her about his need for WeChat.
To be honest, she did admire him a little.
Going to the refrigerator was a last-minute decision, just to give it a chance to show its face.
For other newcomers, they would simply go through the process smoothly, and nothing would happen; they wouldn't make a ripple.
But Shen saw things differently.
The show premiered locally the day before filming, attracting a lot of attention.
He then repeatedly jumped around on the show.
It seems like this guy can generate a lot of buzz wherever he goes.
Just as the talent scouts predicted, this person is a topic of conversation from head to toe.
On the phone, He Jiu praised him highly.
At the time, Yang Tianzhen even suspected that He Jiu on the other end of the phone might have been held at gunpoint from behind.
"Mr. Yang, shall we continue?"
Just then, his assistant reminded him.
Yang Tianzhen came to her senses.
He then pointed to the large screen behind him.
The name of the variety show "Comedy King Stand-up Comedy Season 2" is being projected above.
Liangmu asked doubtfully, "Mr. Yang, weren't you specially invited to join their atmosphere-building team this season?"
Yang Tianzhen nodded: "Yes, I agreed, but my purpose is not to go. It would be best if I could promote the company's newcomers."
Liangmu asked in surprise, "You mean... Shen Jian should participate?"
This type of program is completely different from the free-flowing style of shows like Mercury and Refrigerator.
Stand-up comedy is a competition-based format.
To put it bluntly, if you don't have anything real to offer, you'll just be cannon fodder if you go.
Moreover, being eliminated in the first round, seemingly just going through the motions, could backfire and make the audience feel that the person made a fool of themselves.
Yang Tianzhen: "I previously talked to Li Dan of 'Xiaoguo Culture' about stand-up comedy."
The two talk shows hosted by Xiaoguo Culture have already ended this season.
So only Kiwi Fruit's "Happy Together 2" remains.
Of course, there are barriers to entry for talk shows, so my initial assessment was the same as yours: Shen Jian might only record one episode at most.
So we have two options, and there's another reality show airing at the same time called "Let's Go Now".
This is the only variety show opportunity we can secure in the second half of the quarter; if we don't take it, we'll just have to wait.
Yang Tianzhen finished speaking.
Everyone fell silent.
In fact, everyone understands that Shen Jian's starting point was actually higher than that of some ordinary people.
They already have their own popularity and fans, so they can't always be supporting characters in variety shows.
Yixin Entertainment is not without top-tier and S-level resources.
Even some departments within the company are involved in the production.
However, those slots are reserved for A-list celebrities.
This is the best we can offer for B-level resources at the moment.
If given the choice between the two, the reality show is clearly easier than being cannon fodder in "Happy Singles 2".
Since we're only recording one episode anyway, we might as well choose a safer option.
Moreover, it's always hard to imagine how an illiterate person could write their own scripts and perform stand-up comedy.
Liangmu looked at Shen Jian.
"A reality show would be more suitable, don't you think?"
Are they all just one phase?
Shen Jian did not answer immediately, but instead asked a question in return.
Yang Tianzhen: "No, actually, according to the rules of their show, if you can stay in the first round of 'Happy List,' you might be able to record a second episode, or even more."
Shen Jian nodded.
Actually, he had seen the first season of "The Happy Family" on Douyin.
There are many stand-up comedy masters in it.
Winning the final championship is not easy.
But once you can establish yourself in it, even if it's just one hit, you can quickly become a breakout star.
Back in the first season, quite a few newcomers became popular in this way.
In this light, the later reality shows were much worse.
"Let's have a happy single."
"Are you sure? This might not be a good choice for you." Liangmu looked at Shen Jian: "And even if we find someone to write the manuscript for you, you still won't make it past the first round."
Shen Jian: "Don't take a step back, it's too tiring."
Ryogi: "..."
Yang Tianzhen: "..."
