It's easy to put the icing on the cake, but it's hard to send charcoal in the snow.

And apparently, a good opportunity was missed.

At this time and then, for Shen Zhengyuan today, cooperation is not an imminent thing. With a program that breaks 8 ratings in his hand, it is easy for him to cooperate with whoever he finds, and there are JYP, YG, CCM, waiting in line to cooperate.

Thinking of this, Li Xiuman regretted a little in his heart, if his attitude yesterday was more persistent, maybe it would be a completely different situation now.

It's just that who would have thought that the ratings of a variety show on a cable station would be so amazing for the first broadcast.

It's a pity that there is no regret medicine in the world, and Li Xiuman is not the kind of person who only regrets, he himself is quite decisive. After learning the ratings, he immediately called Shen Zhengyuan, hoping to discuss the continuation of cooperation.

Regarding Li Xiuman's call, Shen Zhengyuan more or less guessed some approximations.

However, he is much more confident now than he was at the beginning, so his attitude towards this call is calmer than when he was with me.

"It's really troublesome Director Li Xiuman, and he specially called. ”

"No trouble, no trouble. On the phone, Li Xiuman said repeatedly: "I also watched the first episode of "The Masked Singer", the show is indeed very exciting, President Shen's creativity is really amazing, the idea of the masked singer, I want to sing on stage when I see it~"

"If Director Li Xiuman wants it, our crew of "The Masked Singer" will naturally raise their hands to welcome it. Hearing this, Shen Zhengyuan continued.

"Haha, no, my singing skills have regressed too much now," shaking his head, Li Xiuman replied on the phone: "With my current strength, I'm afraid I will be eliminated as soon as I take the stage." ”

For other brokerage companies, JYP and YG, although Li Xiuman was also born as an artist, he deliberately faded out of the entertainment industry after that, and almost rarely appeared in activities. Many people have even forgotten the fact that he used to be active as a singer.

On the phone, after some business exchanges between you and me, Li Xiuman restrained the smile on his face: "I don't know, the cooperation mentioned by President Shen before is still effective, but now the premiere of "The Masked Singer" is so successful, and the cooperation with Al Jazeera is strong." ”

"Naturally, the cooperation thing is still valid. ”

Although Al Jazeera has taken a lot of the initiative with the success of the premiere of "The Masked Singer", Shen Zhengyuan also knows that relying on these to rise alone is still a little too weak. What's more, cooperation is not a bad thing, so Shen Zhengyuan categorically has no reason to refuse.

However, the comparison is obviously slightly different from the beginning.

"It's just that now the TV station's "The Masked Singer" has just started, and I am worried that it will have an adverse impact on other TV programs. "The conversation in the office before, and now the conversation on the phone, seems to have a sense of host-guest casting.

"I understand. Li Xiuman couldn't hear the shirking in Shen Zhengyuan's words, but now it is different from the past, and the potential shown by Shen Zhengyuan Al Jazeera has obviously had the possibility of catching up with JTBC and tvn, and compared with the above two cable TV stations, Al Jazeera's internal composition is simpler and the most suitable partner for cooperation.

Moreover, Jiang Hudong finally took advantage of the results of "The Masked Singer" to return to the original momentum.

Jiang Hudong, who has a national MC name but can't get started with variety shows, and Jiang Hudong, who obviously has a popular variety show in his hand, there is no need to say anything more about which is more important.

What's more, he knew that Park Sun-pyun participated in "The Masked Singer", judging from the results of the show, after Park Sun-pyun took off the mask, his popularity would definitely usher in a small peak. What is the brokerage company pursuing, isn't it to increase the popularity of its artists, just the popularity gained by participating in a variety show is comparable to the long-term operation of the brokerage company, and it is no wonder that more and more singers and even actors are devoting themselves to variety shows.

You must know that after the early days, those actors could not afford variety shows, and for TV stations, it was already difficult to invite a big-name actor.

At this time, it is obviously impossible for Li Xiuman to give up his cooperation with Al Jazeera Shen Zhengyuan.

Therefore, in the face of Shen Zhengyuan's shirk on the phone, Li Xiuman could only pinch his nose and say: "A big-budget variety show like "The Masked Singer" is indeed not something that can be produced simply. Therefore, I don't want to urge you, President Shen, but I just hope that if the TV station wants to remake a new variety show, the agreement of its artists. ”

Li Xiuman has already said it to this extent, Shen Zhengyuan is a little too unkind to shirk something, the artist himself has a good popularity, if he can join the variety show of the TV station, it is also a mutually beneficial thing for the TV station itself.

Therefore, he agreed: "Of course there is no problem, if a new variety show is made, yes." ”

Of course, Shen Zhengyuan said this sentence is purely just a blank check, "The Masked Singer" has just come out, and there is no new variety show or something, and there is no film yet.

After talking about the follow-up cooperation between the TV station and the brokerage company, Shen Zhengyuan seemed to suddenly think of something, and asked Li Xiuman on the phone: "By the way, speaking of which, Director Li Xiuman, Zheng Xiuyan and your brokerage company contract ......"

……

Hanging up the phone, Shen Zhengyuan breathed a long sigh of relief.

It feels refreshing to be able to make a figure like Li Xiuman, who has a head and face in the entertainment industry, talk and laugh and say good things to him.

However, when I think about it calmly, in fact, during the whole call process, it seems that he has the upper hand, but to be honest, in fact, he didn't have much advantage, but Li Xiuman softened his posture a little, and got an agreement from the TV station for a new variety show cooperation.

Sure enough, the old fox is the old fox, and there is no such thing as being fooled.

Of course, Shen Zhengyuan is not angry about this, compared with the leading cooperation, he is more fond of the current partial cooperation. In this way, the possibility of clamping also gives him the possibility of finding more partners to work with.

Compared with the beginning, with "The Masked Singer" as his confidence, Shen Zhengyuan's vision is obviously much higher.

The entertainment industry is so big, and the cooperation of a family is inevitably a little too small.
