1035. The Road Ahead
Yang Di's signing of Fanxing Entertainment Group did not cause any turmoil, no reporter would be interested in a little-known funny artist, and Fanxing could not hold a signing party for Yang Di, an artist with a coffee position.
So after the contract was signed, except for Yang Di's family and a few friends who could talk to each other, no one really knew that Yang Di had signed a contract with Star Entertainment.
As for Yang Di's fainting during the recording of the show, there is no media report, maybe in the eyes of this group of reporters, Yang Di's fever and fainting are not as newsworthy as those big stars who sneeze casually.
Of course, for Yang Di, he himself felt that his life had really changed since he signed the contract.
First of all, at the moment of signing the contract, Ma Dong informed Yang Di that from the moment he signed the contract, he became the new regular guest of "Super Heart".
Although they are all guests, temporary guests and regular guests are completely different concepts for Yang Di, temporary guests are like odd jobs, one day and every day, the day is not safe, so that Yang Di lives under great pressure every day.
But as a regular guest, he is equivalent to having a stable show to perform, and his monthly income has finally stabilized, which is simply what he has always dreamed of.
The key thing that surprised him was not only this, when he signed the contract, he just briefly looked at the name of the sub-achievement and signed it, but he didn't pay much attention to the benefits in it.
It was Ma Dong who specially mentioned it to him, and he knew that there would be so many benefits to signing a contract with Star Entertainment.
For example, the company will provide him with a one-bedroom dormitory of about 30 square meters, so that he no longer has to worry about whether the rent will increase next month, nor does he have to worry about being kicked out by the landlord at any time and not finding a house to live in.
In addition, Chen Jianzhou and the food supplement he mentioned also have a lot of subsidy expenses, although they are not much, but they add up to a lot, and what surprised Yang Di is that after signing a contract with Fanxing, there is still a basic salary, although he can only get the lowest level, but there are also two thousand yuan.
Coupled with those subsidy expenses, he can earn more than 5,000 even if he doesn't do any work a month.
"It's no wonder that Fanxing doesn't sign artists casually, this treatment is too good. Yang Di, who was holding the contract at night, looked left and right, and his smiling eyes narrowed into a slit.
Thinking about the dormitory that he could get tomorrow, thinking about the fixed guest seats he had already obtained, and the canteen full of the aroma of food, Yang Di soon fell asleep.
But after Ma Dong sent Yang Di to the lounge, he didn't rest immediately.
Signing Yang Di is not the end, he believes in Nie Wei's words, and believes that Yang Di will attract a wave of popularity after the show is broadcast, so he must make Yang Di really famous under this wave of popularity.
Fanxing Entertainment has never signed artists randomly, of course, not because Yang Di thought, but just a matter of saving that little benefit, in fact, those benefits are not even a drop in the bucket in front of Fanxing's ability to attract money.
The reason why Fanxing is not chaotic is because from the beginning of the company's establishment, Nie Wei and Ma Dong had an agreement, that is, as long as the artist is signed, he must be guaranteed to be popular.
Fanxing will not ignore the artist after signing in, as long as it is an artist who signs a star, it must be taken care of by the company, and it is inevitable to become famous, and it is precisely like this, all artists who sign a star are also extremely loyal, because they can also feel the company's attention, they can see the future of their own development, and they will not be confused.
Since Yang Di has also joined the stars, Ma Dong naturally has to think more about him, for the time being, he is to seize the opportunity in front of him.
The episode of "Super Heart" that Nie Wei participated in the recording was finally broadcast a week later, and Nie Wei starred in a variety show again after half a year, and the ratings can be imagined, and the high is scary.
The average rating of this show was originally around 1.5, and it may be that in the current period in which Nie Wei participated, the ratings after the broadcast were as high as 2.8, almost double the average, and the highest ratings when the program was broadcast were also generated when Nie Wei spoke, as high as 5.23.
But what is even more surprising is that the second highest rating peak of the whole episode did not occur in the clip of Nie Wei and Zhang Ziyi, but belonged to a not very famous funny artist.
This person is naturally Yang Di.
Yang Di is on fire, Nie Wei's expectations are not a little off, he became popular after the show was broadcast, not by virtue of his funny ability, but by virtue of a sad and touching story.
Falling into the pool and calling for help, the lifeguard was less than a few meters away from him, looking at his drowning self and laughing, especially at the end of the story, under Yang Di's questioning, the lifeguard's answer.
Yang Di did not use humorous and funny language when he narrated this story, but the real and plain things can move people's hearts the most.
Watching Yang Di show that helpless and sad smile at the end, and then when Ma Dong CUE arrived at him, he immediately recovered his state, like a clown, many people found that they couldn't laugh anymore when they saw this scene.
"The sadness behind the funny artist, no one knows about falling into the pool for help, thinking that he is doing the effect. β
"Who knows the sadness behind the artist's glamour?"
"Looking at the entire industry from Yang Di, there are a lot of unknown hardships behind the shining stars. β
After the show aired, the media began to report the news in a big way.
A story of Yang Di is like a fuse, which suddenly detonated the sadness behind the entertainment industry, just when this news became popular, the official website of Star Entertainment released a documentary video, a documentary video of more than two hours, and the content is all the hard work behind the recording of variety shows.
All the actors in this documentary are well-known funny artists at the moment, including all the members of "Infinite Challenge", as well as variety show names like He Jiong and Wang Han, in addition, there are many nameless behind-the-scenes staff.
Of course, in this documentary, the one who has attracted the most attention is still Yang Di.
In the entire documentary, Yang Di's share occupies nearly 20 minutes, recording the day of his trip.
It's like getting up at four o'clock in the morning to wash up, eating the leftover boxed lunch brought back from the program team last night, and then rushing to the program recording site at six o'clock to wait, and not returning home until one o'clock in the morning the next day.
In this process, Yang Di's energetic appearance in front of the camera and his tired expression behind the camera formed the most stark contrast.
There is also the sweat-soaked shirt hidden under the suit, and the bruises on the arms because of playing games, of course, the most moving thing for netizens is the video of the day when he and Nie Wei recorded the show.
Yang Di insisted on recording for five hours, and the final fainting scene was recorded by the camera, and it was edited into the documentary at the moment, which really made many netizens feel distressed.
"His face turned pale, this is definitely not pretending. β
"I had a high fever of more than 39 degrees and insisted on recording for five hours, I watched that episode, to be honest, if it weren't for this documentary, I really wouldn't have seen Yang Di look sick. β
"It's really distressing to watch, I used to hate him, I always felt that he was babbling in the show, and he had to intervene in everything, but now that I think about it, it's actually not easy for him. β
The whole documentary is very bland, it is simply a record of the day life of a funny artist, but the more it is like this, the more it can touch the hearts of the audience, there is no misery, but looking at a person who is always so energetic in front of the camera on weekdays, he is so tired behind the camera, and he is not even willing to say a word.
This documentary really subverted the image of a funny artist in their impression of many viewers.
And the name of this documentary is also very interesting, called "You Are Not Really Happy", with the Mayday song as the ending, many viewers even moistened their eyes after watching it.
Yang Di became popular, and the number of followers on Weibo overnight exceeded one million in just three days, from less than 10,000 at the beginning.
Invitations from major variety shows also kept coming, and there were also some agents or brokerage companies who knew Yang Di's situation and wanted to sign Yang Di, but when they found Yang Di, they suddenly got an unfortunate news that Yang Di already had a brokerage company.
And it is Nie Wei's Star Entertainment Group.
"The stars are too quick to start, right?" some agents sighed helplessly after knowing the news.
But these people actually have the intention of trying it out, as early as when Yang Di was in that documentary, some smart people thought that this artist might have been signed by Fanxing.
After all, if he hadn't signed a contract, how could Fanxing spend so much effort to support him?
And after knowing that Yang Di signed a contract with Fanxing, everyone also lost their minds, Fanxing has the best variety show resources in the circle, and at the moment when variety shows are becoming more and more popular, Fanxing is almost every brokerage company wants to make friends, no one will mean to fight with Fanxing for a small artist, not to mention that the other party has signed a contract, not to mention the success rate of poaching, the key is not worth it.
And Yang Di has traveled all over the country to record programs these days, and he also feels the benefits of having a strong brokerage company behind him.
He finally didn't have to huddle in the common room with a crowd of people, many of whom only had two dressing tables, and everyone had to line up to use them.
At this time, he can already use the small lounge to be with those artists and guests who already have a certain reputation, and he also has a dressing table that belongs only to him, and the company has also equipped him with a makeup artist, so he no longer has to wait in line.
is on the show, and the host is willing to give him more opportunities to perform and take care of him.
He also had dinner with his idol Teacher He and met everyone in the Happy Family.
He also has a nanny car, and he can secretly rest for a while on the way to the trip, and he doesn't need to contact the program team in person, and he cares about the appearance fee, because he has an agent, and these will be handed over to the agent to discuss, all he has to do is to have a good relationship with the host of each program and the program team.
After a few days, although the schedule was busy and his body was tired, he was in excellent spirits, especially watching the rapid rise of the number on the bank card, Yang Di became more and more energetic, and felt that the future was bright.
Yang Di's work and life have undergone earth-shaking changes, but for Nie Wei, Yang Di's matter is just a small episode, and there are more people working hard in this circle, but Yang Di is very lucky, he happened to be met by Nie Wei, and he happened to play very well and was favored by Nie Wei.
But in fact, there are more artists in this circle who are struggling with food and clothing like Yang Di in the past, they live a precarious life, wandering inside and outside the circle, and have never really integrated into this circle, or directly sunk into the ......
Nie Wei is not a philanthropist, nor is he a god, so he naturally can't manage so many people, but because of Yang Di's affairs, Nie Wei's sister Zhou Duoduo has been very annoying recently.
Because after Zhou Aiguo watched the documentary, he always talked about Zhou Duoduo about Yang Di.
"The entertainment industry is not so easy to mix, you don't see how bitter that young man is, no one saves him when he falls into the pool, and laughs at him, and you look at their work in a day, how tired they are, it's much more tiring than going to work, if you take the normal school and become a teacher, isn't it easier than doing this business? And the teacher is still respected. β
Thinking of Zhou Aiguo's words to her, Zhou Duoduo couldn't help but roll her eyes.
Because Zhou Duoduo felt that what her father said was very unreasonable, Yang Di did reflect the sadness of many people at the bottom of the entertainment industry, but who is she, she is Zhou Duoduo, her brother is Nie Wei, and the road she wants to take is not the path that Yang Di climbs from the bottom.
"Brother, go home and talk about our dad, why doesn't he understand, I'm not going to be a comedy artist, I'm going to be an idol, he thinks now that I'm like that Yang Di, I want to eat an overnight box lunch, and I have experienced so many hardships......"
"Duoduo, even if you are an idol, it may not be much easier than Yang Di, but you have a different starting point, and what uncle said is not all wrong. Nie Wei interrupted Zhou Duoduo's words and solemnly reminded her.
"Brother, of course I know. Zhou Duoduo was silent for a moment and replied.
"Okay, I'll talk to my uncle when I go home in two days, and you can also prepare, I'm going to send you to the company's practice room as a trainee. Nie Wei thought for a while and said.
Zhou Duoduo's idea of being an idol has not been a day or two, but the idea seems to be a little naΓ―ve, Nie Wei really decided to throw her into the company's practice room for training for a period of time, at least let her feel the atmosphere of competition.
At least let Duoduo accept the idea that she can make her debut by practicing casually.
"Brother, can I really go to your company as a trainee?" Zhou Duoduo didn't know Nie Wei's thoughts, so she only thought that her brother was paving the way for her.
"That's right, but you remember, when you come to our company as a trainee, you are not allowed to reveal your relationship with me, and you are not ready to ask Luo Kai and them to help you with anything, you just join our company as a trainee as an ordinary girl, and your power and interests all depend on your own ability to fight. β
Nie Wei's words made Zhou Duoduo a little surprised, but she didn't think much about it, at this moment she was quickly immersed in the joy of being able to go to the road of idols soon.
