Chapter 158: Member Invitation (2-in-1 Chapter)
The show "Running Man" was imported from the country of sticks in the first life, and it was almost copied in its entirety, but it didn't understand the essence of it, and the whole show was different.
But for most viewers in China, this show is still very good, so the ratings were very high at that time, and it was a hit. But as the number of episodes of the show increased, the audience gradually got tired of the things in it, and there was more interaction and more fake, and the ratings slowly went down.
Wang Bao is not going to copy the stick program, because after all, the national conditions are different, and the content of the program must be slightly changed. But he is not ready to make it like a domestic show, the best way is to combine the two and grasp the essence of it.
Not to mention anything else, Wang Bao feels that the role positioning of "Running Man" in Bang Ziguo is very good, everyone has their own characteristics, which can fully mobilize the audience's interest when watching.
Therefore, Wang Bao has some difficulties in the selection of program members, because he is not very familiar with the people in the circle, and he knows very few people, and it is not so easy to find a suitable artist.
First of all, it is certain that Wang Bao himself is definitely going to participate, but because of his ability, he is not very suitable to be the host, which means that the roles of Liu Zaishi or Deng Chao are not suitable for him. He is more suitable for Jiang Gary's type of role, but his personality is more extroverted, and he can't say his role positioning for the time being.
Then there are five men and one woman left, or you can try to add one more woman and learn from the lineup when Running Man started.
Wang Bao first searched for the artists he knew here to see if there were any suitable candidates.
Male artists he knows, and the people who may participate are probably Wang Kai, Wu Tianyu, Mu Yi Xiaodi, Song Baobao, Zhu Bin, Bai Xiaoyu, Yue Peng, Huang Miao, Lei Lei, Wang Huidong, etc., these people should be these people, and the others are not very suitable, or they will not appear in variety shows for a long time.
Like Zhang Yan and Wei Wei, they are pure filmmakers, not to mention appearing in variety shows for a long time, but they are rarely guests occasionally. There is also a host like He Ling, who is not suitable to appear in this show, so Wang Bao automatically excluded them.
There are not many people who female artist Wang Bao knows, and there are only three or five people who are suitable for the show, and Wang Bao actually has an intention in his heart. For example, Didimeba and Dong Ya, who have not been in contact for a long time, as well as Li Xiaolu, the provider of this news, and his girlfriend Zhang Zichen. But he thinks that those who can agree to star in this are Didimeba and Li Xiaolu, and everyone else is enough.
Of course, these are just Wang Bao's personal conjectures, he just wants to make a score in his heart first, and then he can invite.
Wang Bao set the personnel list, and after comparing them repeatedly, he decided to send out invitations like these people to try it first. Male artists are: Huang Miao, Wang Kai, Yue Peng, Song Baobao and Zhu Bin. The female artist invited Didimeba and Li Xiaolu first, but it is estimated that Li Xiaolu is unlikely to act.
As for why he didn't ask his girlfriend and Yan Xiaoni, it was because Wang Bao knew that 99% of these two people might not act.
After drawing up the list, Wang Bao began to call, this time was really dinner time, Wang Bao estimated that ordinary people were fine.
"Doodoo ......"
"Xiaobao, why do you want to call me?" Wang Kai's magnetic voice came from the phone, the two had not been in touch for a while, that is, they called each other to say hello during the New Year.
When Wang Bao wanted to list the members today, the first thing that came to mind was this brother. Wang Kai's acting skills are not picky, and he is handsome, but after so many years in the industry, he has not become popular, and he keeps swinging between third-tier and second-tier stars.
Wang Bao knew that his show was very popular, and he wanted to be popular through this show back then, but it didn't make sense that Wang Kai couldn't become popular!
"It's not like I haven't been in touch for a long time, I think my brother will be rusty after a long time, so I'll call to say hello. What have you been busy with lately, Brother Kai?" Wang Bao did not directly talk about the show, but started to do home.
"I'm not busy, I'm staying at home. Not long ago, I took a small job, didn't I just finish the performance, I just wanted to rest for two days. Wang Kai is completely a Buddhist character, usually unhurried, and speaks slowly, and has few words, but he is very "incisive" and has cold joke skills.
When Wang Bao heard him say that he stayed at home, he felt very suitable, as if God was helping him all the time. So he opened his mouth and asked directly: "That's the case, Brother Kai, I have a job here, I don't know if you can take it?"
"What kind of work? Is there a script?" Wang Kai said that he wanted to rest for two days, but as soon as he heard that there was a job, he immediately came to his senses.
As an artist, no one wants to rest at home, and taking a break proves that you don't have a job, and if you don't work, it means that you are not famous!
Wang Bao criticized it in his heart, but he still introduced the situation and said: "It's not acting, it's like this, Brother Kai, I have a variety show here, and I need a long-term resident guest, do you think you are interested?"
After Wang Bao finished speaking, Wang Kai did not answer immediately, but thought about it. He is an actor, and he has always demanded himself according to the standards of actors. He had hardly been on variety shows before, so he was not very familiar with variety shows. But he knows that variety shows are very popular now, and many people have started to appear on variety shows to increase their exposure.
He has always felt that actors should act with peace of mind, be down-to-earth, and don't do so many things. But the reality tells him that even if he has good acting skills and is not famous, he is unlikely to receive a bigger role. Now is the era of online information and rampant traffic, so he now wants to put down the actor's shelf, and strive to increase his exposure and popularity, in order to receive a good script and play an important role.
So he was still very excited about what Wang Bao said, although he didn't know what kind of show Wang Bao was, but he still wanted to try it.
After more than a minute, Wang Kai figured it out, made up his mind, and said decisively: "Thank you Xiaobao, I took this job!"
When Wang Bao heard him say this, his heart was much more steady. He didn't want to be disadvantaged, he was the first to get off to a good start, he was very happy, and said with a smile: "Okay, Brother Kai! I'll send you a time and address when I go back, and we'll get together to talk about this in detail." ”
"Okay, don't worry, I will treat the work I take as a real person, and nothing will go wrong!"
Wang Bao recognized Wang Kai's words, when filming "Struggle", this guy didn't have many small supporting roles in a scene, and he felt like he was performing the annual drama, which was quite serious.
"Brother Kai, I can still trust your words. Okay, that's it. After speaking, Wang Bao hung up the phone, looking very excited.
Then he called Lei Lei and Yue Peng in a row, but unfortunately neither of them had a schedule and had a job, so he regretfully refused it.
Wang Bao was actually quite depressed, losing two in a row, losing two heads at once, which hurt morale very much. He went out and washed his face, then went back inside and continued to make the call.
This will be Huang Miao, he knows that Huang Miao has not taken on the drama during this time, and he has no activities, and he has been teaching in school honestly. That's why Wang Bao thought about calling him, because Wang Bao felt that it was unlikely that Huang Miao would refuse.
"Hey, Mr. Huang, are you busy?" Wang Bao said very easily after the phone was connected.
"It's nothing, I'm waiting for dinner at home. What, are you going to invite me to drink?" both of them were very familiar with each other, so Huang Miao and Wang Bao made a joke.
"Drinking is not a thing, as long as you have time, Mr. Huang, Xiaobao and I will be on call!" Wang Bao is not a wooden person, he made a joke, and the two really drank together.
"Not today, let's do it another day! Today is my wife's birthday, I just finished cooking and am about to eat!" Huang Miao said with a smile on the phone.
"Oh, sister-in-law's birthday? You don't say it early, if you know, I'll get a gift for my sister-in-law to celebrate!"
"No, we live with our own families, every year. What? Are you calling today?"
Usually, Wang Bao often contacts him, but as long as he is not looking for a drink, he will not call at the meal. That's why he guessed that Wang Bao should be looking for him for something.
"yes, something, that's it...... Do you want to participate?" Wang Bao told him about the production of the show, and then asked him.
Regarding this matter, after Huang Miao heard it, he still had a lot of ideas in his heart. He has also done several shows in the past two years, some with good results and some with bad results, but they have really increased his exposure and greatly enhanced his fame. So Huang Miao wants to participate in variety shows, but he doesn't dare to guarantee the quality of Wang Bao's show now, and he still has a little hesitation in his heart.
"That's the case, Xiaobao, I'll think about it, I'll give you an answer tomorrow, and now your sister-in-law is still waiting for me to eat, okay?" Huang Miao said his plan, although the excuse was average, it was better than not refusing directly.
Wang Bao could hear that he still had some action, otherwise he would have refused directly, so he was not worried in his heart.
"Okay Mr. Huang, then I'll wait for your news tomorrow. Wang Bao nodded in agreement.
Hanging up the phone, Wang Bao felt a little tired, and at the same time his stomach was hungry, so he put down the phone and went to the kitchen to cook something for himself.
For a chef, it's a matter of minutes to cook a meal.
Wang Bao didn't make rice for stir-frying, which was too troublesome and a waste of time, so he made a bowl of green vegetable "seafood" noodles by himself. Of course, the seafood is not too fresh, the frozen shrimp and scallop sticks in the refrigerator are used, and the noodles are not freshly made hand-rolled noodles, but ready-made dried noodles.
But after Wang Bao's hands, the green vegetables and seafood noodles made are very good in terms of appearance and color, and in terms of taste.
A large bowl of noodles covered with shrimp scallop sticks, garnished with green vegetables, and poured with the soup stock from the chicken broth that is kept at home, well!
Peel a few cloves of garlic, mix the noodles with red oil and spicy seeds, and after eating the noodles with a sigh, Wang Bao was sweaty. Wiping his sweat with a tissue, Wang Bao exhaled a spicy breath and felt that his whole body was transparent.
After brushing the dishes, Wang Bao returned to the bedroom and continued to call!
Wang Bao lingered left and right between the names of Mu Yi Xiaodi and Song Baobao for a while, and then chose to call Song Baobao first.
These two people actually have some overlap, they are both comedians, and their figures are not bad, so they can only choose one, otherwise they will waste a position.
"Doodoo ......"
The phone rang twice and was picked up, and there was a very characteristic laugh from inside: "Hee-hee-hee...... Xiaobao! I have been contacting my brother for so long, have you forgotten my brother?"
Wang Bao really couldn't stand his laughter, and he felt a feeling of sweat rising after listening to it.
"Brother Bao, look at what you said, how can I be? Haven't I been busy filming? No, I'll call you as soon as I have time. "When Wang Bao talks nonsense, he really comes with his mouth open.
"Hee-hee-hee...... You can pull it down!Pure coax my brother to be happy!" There was another burst of confused laughter, and then he turned around and said, "Say, what is the matter with finding my brother? If you can help, my brother will definitely help you!"
You don't care if it's true or not, but Song Baobao really does a good job of this, this may be their special character for outsiders.
"It's a good thing, Brother Bao, I'm going to cooperate with Blueberry TV here to produce a new variety show together. Here's what the show looks like...... How about it? Do you have time to come, Brother Bao?" Wang Bao briefly introduced the format of the program, and then asked him if he would like to participate.
Song Baobao has slowly become popular since the year before last, and has participated in various variety shows last year. But generally he is a guest, not a resident, so he also very much hopes to have a resident program. Listening to Wang Bao's introduction just now, I feel that this show is still a head, but he is worried that Wang Bao is a newcomer and the quality of the program is not guaranteed, so he is a little hesitant.
"Xiaobao, that's right, I personally really want to participate. But as you know, I have a brokerage company, so I'll ask my company tomorrow, and if there's no problem, my brother will definitely go. Song Baobao said this, and Wang Bao also understood.
"Okay, Brother Bao, then you can ask your company first, and I'll wait for your call. But you have to hurry, I need to hurry up and finalize the list, and then start preparing for the film. "Understanding is understanding, but Wang Bao still has to put some pressure on him, after all, in Wang Bao's heart, this is a matter of promoting Song Baobao.
"Okay!
After the two hung up the phone, Wang Bao himself felt puzzled, it was obviously a good thing, he took care of his acquaintances, but now he made it as if he was begging someone.
"I don't want to, although we're just starting out!" Wang Bao muttered, then shook his head, continued to rummage through the phone book, and began to call Wu Tianyu.
Wu Tianyu just finished participating in "Star You", and he got along well with Wang Bao, and the young man was also more versatile, so Wang Bao wanted to find him to participate in this show.
The most important thing is that Wu Tianyu does not have a brokerage company now, and Wang Bao has the heart to sign him into his studio.
"Doodoo ......"
"Hey, Tianyu, I'm Wang Bao, there's such a thing, listen to it...... Do you understand?" Wang Bao answered the phone, and said the whole thing in a daze.
"Oh oh, I understand Brother Bao!" After a slight pause, Wu Tianyu continued: "But Brother Bao, I don't really want to act in variety shows, I want to act!"
Wang Bao has known for a long time that this kid is a drama idiot, but he is really talented, and Wang Bao doesn't want to let go of such a good seedling. So his tone changed to stern and said: "This matter is of great benefit to you, can I still lie to you?" In this way, you ask Zhang Yang, you see what he says. ”
"Okay, then I'll give Director Zhang a call!" After saying that, he hung up the phone.
Wu Tianyu is actually Zhang Yang's cousin, and their mothers are sisters. Wang Bao had known about this for a long time, but he had never told anyone. Otherwise, you think that with Wu Tianyu, a young man who graduated from a drama academy, he can star in so many TV series. Even if they are all supporting roles, it is not something that ordinary people can do, this is all the credit of Zhang Yang.
Wang Bao didn't care about Wu Tianyu's affairs, he knew that Zhang Yang must know what was going on, so he dialed Zhu Bin's phone with confidence.
Zhu Bin is a fresh graduate of the Drama Academy who appeared at the beginning of the book, and looks like a buddy of Liu Huohua. This guy loves to play basketball, his body is very good, and he has a good personality, and he is quite an honest person. His image is very suitable for the role of the capable big black bull, so Wang Bao thought of him.
Zhu Bin is not like his classmate Bai Xiaoyu, he is not very good after leaving school, he has been playing tricks, and he has never played any serious roles. But because the young man is a good person, he came and went, and he became a very good friend with Wang Bao. During the filming of "Star You" this time, Wang Bao also gave him a small role, that is, the second brother of the male No. 2, the bodyguard of the villain, and the person who specializes in dirty work.
Wang Bao was very optimistic about him and had the intention to sign him into the studio, but he never found a suitable opportunity. This show is a very good opportunity to make the young man popular, so Wang Bao moved his mind.
The phone rang for a long time before it was connected, and Wang Bao opened his mouth to speak, "Binzi, what are you doing?"
Through the phone, Wang Bao heard that it was very noisy inside, and some people shouted: "Longkeng, go quickly, they steal dragons!"
"Brother Bao, I'm playing a game, I'll call you later!" After saying that, he hung up the phone neatly.
Wang Bao listened to the blind voice on the phone, and was a little speechless, what kind of player is this?
Although he was very depressed when he was hung up, Wang Bao still decided to give him a chance, so he decided not to call Bai Xiaoyu first, because the two of them also belonged to the same type of candidates.
Wang Bao did not continue to call others, but took his mobile phone and began to read the news boringly. He is also an insider now, so he must always pay attention to entertainment news and keep an eye on the dynamics in the circle.
About 20 minutes later, Wang Bao's phone rang, and it showed that the caller was Zhu Bin's number.
"Hey!"
"Brother Bao, I'm sorry! I was playing a game with my friends just now, qualifying, I don't dare to hang up, I'm sorry!" Although the kid usually looks very honest, he is not stupid at all, and he apologizes to Wang Bao when he comes up.
He knew that Wang Bao was awesome now, and he was filming a TV series by himself, so he thought about taking care of Wang Bao and taking care of his role in the future.
"Alright, I'm not that stingy! Balabala ...... "Wang Bao said again.
"Good thing! Thank you, Brother Bao! I'm fine, when will we start recording?" After listening to this, Zhu Bin was very happy and happily agreed.
"Don't be happy yet, you want to participate in this show, I have the conditions!" Wang Bao finally showed his minions, he couldn't help others in vain.
"What conditions? Brother Bao, you say, I will agree!"
For people like Zhu Bin, who usually run around and don't have much work, he is really not afraid of any conditions, what he is afraid of is that no one will ask him for conditions.
"Don't you have a brokerage company yet, sign a brokerage contract with my studio, no problem, right?" asked Wang Bao.
Zhu Bin originally thought that the harsh conditions were just a matter of signing a contract, and he still couldn't wait for it. Now he is a lonely ghost, there is no company that wants him at all, and now Wang Bao not only wants him, but also such a show, he is very grateful.
"Thank you, Brother Bao, thank you, Brother Bao......" Zhu Bin cried and kept thanking Wang Bao.
Wang Bao also understood his mood at this time, if he had such an opportunity when he was playing tricks in his previous life, he would be very grateful.
"Alright, such a big boy, don't do this. Tomorrow I will go to my studio to sign the contract, and then prepare for this show. ”
Wang Bao explained a few more words to him, and hung up the phone no matter how he celebrated. At this time, Wang Bao was in a very good mood, for Zhu Bin, he seemed to see himself in his previous life, and he was very envious of him for meeting such a good person.
Finally, he picked up the phone, dialed the phone that had not been dialed for a long time, and said with some emotion: "Hey! Is it Didimeba?"
Lao Zhang asks for a recommendation ticket!
