Early April.

Two things happened that were more important to Shen Zhengyuan.

The first is that the second half of the second phase of "The Masked Singer" has ended, and the generation of singers has used two buckets of gold paint to succeed unexpectedly, making the audience's suspense about his true face continue to the next competition.

However, compared with the success of two buckets of gold paint, what surprised the audience in front of the TV was the revelation of the true face of the singer Blue Lotus in the last round. Previously, everyone had been discussing whether Blue Lotus was the hidden singer in the music industry.

Discussions came and went, but no one expected that the face revealed after the mask was removed would be Shen Zhengyuan, the president of the TV station.

The topic of the president of a dignified TV station coming down to participate in the competition in person is not subject to it for the time being. Anyway, whenever Al Jazeera launches and produces variety shows, Shen Zhengyuan's participation is almost a routine, and the audience is accustomed to watching too much, and even regards it as a feature of the TV station. It's just that Shen Zhengyuan's singing voice in the show really shocked the audience, marveling at his unknown singing ability, "The Masked Singer" also carried the topic momentum triggered by Shen Zhengyuan's Blue Lotus, and successfully broke through the single-digit limit in terms of ratings, and successfully became the first program of Al Jazeera to break through the ratings of 10 since its establishment.

The average rating is 10.217%, and the highest rating in an instant has reached 11.104%.

For a while, there were endless discussions on the Internet about Al Jazeera's "The Masked Singer", Shen Zhengyuan, and Blue Lotus.

Al Jazeera has also officially been promoted from a dark horse posture that attracted attention to the public to a cable TV station that can be compared with JTBC and tvn.

Don't underestimate the difference, just from the quality of advertisers and the willingness to sponsor funds, it has more than doubled or tripled compared to before, and there are many well-known big advertisers who have cast their eyes on it.

After talking about the situation of the TV station in the field of variety shows, it is time to talk about another thing that may not be so discussed by the outside world, but it is equally important in Shen Zhengyuan's eyes.

That is, after the final crew adjustments, including the coordinated schedules of the TV series leading actors.

The TV series "Dragon Bayi" has finally finalized the official start of filming.

Filming officially started on the 7th, but there was one last meeting before the TV series started filming, and Shen Zhengyuan, as the screenwriter of the whole show, naturally wanted to go. Theoretically speaking, the script of "Dragon Bayi" has been out for so long, and all the opinions and things that should be mentioned have been mentioned.

However, the filming of a TV series is a dynamic matter after all, and the daily shooting plan also depends on the state of the actors or the shooting situation of the day.

This meeting is not only to check the final preparations of the crew to ensure that the filming can go smoothly, but also to mobilize the psychology of everyone in the crew, including the actors, before the official start of filming of the TV series, to ensure that everyone is ready to devote themselves to the long-term filming of the TV series.

Of course, if you insist on talking about important things, that is, after a lot of friction, it is important to finalize the selection of supporting roles in TV dramas.

In this regard, Li Xiuman also made a special call to express his apologies, delaying the matter for so long that it almost affected the normal filming of the TV series. In this regard, although Shen Zhengyuan was a little dissatisfied in his heart, it was more strange that in the matter of supporting roles in TV dramas, or Li Xiuman's favor.

As long as it does not affect the normal filming of the TV series, in fact, the arrangement is the same for everyone.

It's just that I wonder a little in my heart, how short of people there is, isn't it a palace of stars? Why does it take so long to choose a supporting actor for a TV series?

However, when Shen Zhengyuan rushed to the SBS meeting place, he understood why Li Xiuman was dragging his feet on the issue of choosing a supporting role in a TV series this time.

Because of this, the actors he arranged for the supporting roles were more or less unexpected by Shen Zhengyuan.

"Hello, President Shen, screenwriter Shen, I'm Yuna's agent Lee Sang-kyung. In the conference room, the first person who came forward to greet him was not the crew of the crew, but a man he had never met before. Of course, according to what the other party introduced, he should be an agent.

It's just that, looking in the direction where Li Xiangqing came, Shen Zhengyuan didn't expect that he would be willing to arrange the rising cash cow in the company to play a small supporting role in his TV series.

Lin Yuna in Girls' Generation, one of the artists who has been pushing to develop into an actor internally.

It's just that, compared with the resources invested within the company, Lin Yuner's opening up in the actor market has not been as smooth as it is. starred in several TV series one after another, and the ratings were not as ideal as expected, which of course had the limitations of her own acting skills when she debuted as an idol, and her eagerness to achieve results was also one of the important reasons for the current result.

However, it stands to reason that this person should still be filming costume dramas in China now?

How can you still have time to run back to China to star in TV series?

In fact, internal opposition to Lin Yuna's role in the supporting role of "Dragon Bayi" is also one after another. Just as Shen Zhengyuan thought before, it was not easy to get Lin Yuna to the position of the leading actor in the TV series, although the ratings of the TV series she starred in were not very ideal, but after all, they are still the leading actors, in the eyes of most people, your most secondary starring role is better than a wonderful supporting role, after all, no matter how wonderful the acting skills of the supporting role are, the vast majority of the vision in the TV series is still focused on the starring role.

If Lin Yun'er is allowed to play the second female lead, the side may pinch her nose and accept it. However, Li Xiuman also made it clear that he was playing a supporting role, so it was naturally not so easy for the agency to accept it.

In particular, now that Lin Yuna has received an invitation from Huaxia to star in a TV series with a large investment, and you have returned to South Korea to play a supporting role in a TV series that does not hurt, it has caused a big regression for the course of its actor development.

The agency had such and such opposing voices, and took time to coordinate and recall Lin Yuner from Huaxia to participate in the filming of the TV series "Dragon Bayi".

Although he has retired from the position of president of the brokerage company for many years, the foundation left behind is still there after all, and although there are a lot of opinions on the whole thing, it is not a major event that really affects the company's decision-making.

It's just that this is a pain for Lin Yun'er, who was originally filming in Huaxia.
