Chapter 247: 'Flattery'

Entering October, the weather in Yulan City has opened a wayward mode, with short-sleeved yesterday, long-sleeved tomorrow, and down jackets the day after tomorrow are the norm. The weather changes too fast, and occasionally encounters sunny weather, Lin Chen likes to lie on the rocking chair on the balcony, with the breeze and sunshine to empty his mind, and steal half a day of leisure.

It's the same today, after the live broadcast ended, after lunch, he lay on a rocking chair to bask in the sun, and before he could lie down for long, a phone call broke the silence.

Looking at the name displayed on the screen, Lin Chen sat up straight and asked with a smile: "Director Liu, aren't you promoting the show, how can you have time to contact me today?"

Entering the live broadcast industry, he met many people, local tyrants, big bosses, big anchors, and stars, but there is only one director - Director Liu, director of the "Panda Kill" program group.

Lin Chen and Director Liu are actually not very familiar with each other, it can be seen from the title, he only knows the director's surname Liu, and the specific name is not clear.

It's not that he's proud and doesn't look down on the little director, on the contrary, it's Director Liu who doesn't look down on him.

is different from these small anchors who are not from professional classes, Director Liu is said to be a top student in the drama director department, and his teachers and classmates are all famous directors in the entertainment industry, a play costs more than 100 million, and the actors he cooperates with are either first-line superstars or old artists, who are the mainstay of the entertainment industry.

The above are all gossip from the staff during the recording of the program, and the authenticity is debatable.

After all, Lin Chen really couldn't figure out how a talented genius director, a teacher and classmates were all big directors with a capital of more than 100 million yuan, how could he be reduced to the level of filming online variety shows. Director, your span is a bit big.

It can't be said that the news is completely wrong, with Panda's emphasis on "Panda Kill", it's normal to dig up a genius director, anyway, the boss behind Panda is not bad for money, and what can be solved with money is not a thing.

No matter what Director Liu's background or talent is, he has the common problem of all directors: except for me, everyone is stupid.

Well, the director is so proud that he can't shoot the desired effect? The cameraman and props team are stupid. Can't play the ideal feeling? The actor is stupid. Can't understand the work? The audience is stupid, anyway, it's the world that's wrong, not me.

is still the case for professionals in the circle, and the attitude towards anchors can be imagined.

Start filming when you come, leave directly after filming, don't communicate, don't comment, don't even care about editing, you can cut it as much as you want, just don't disturb him.

Which of the guests who can participate in the recording of "Panda Kill" is not a well-known anchor, with a lot of income and countless fans, and the income of some anchors can be comparable to that of first-line stars, but Director Liu still can't look down on it.

In his eyes, the anchor is an Internet celebrity who can't get on the table, and being reduced to cooperating with the anchor is the biggest stain in his career.

A glimpse of the whole leopard, from Director Liu's attitude, you can also see how the entertainment industry views the live broadcast industry. Just like the people of Xiangjiang 30 years ago, they looked at mainlanders, old-fashioned, unpopular, and smelly, no matter how popular they have, they can't get rid of the essence of Internet celebrities. From top to bottom, the entertainment industry is full of arrogance, contempt, prejudice, and domineering towards the live broadcast industry.

No one is a masochist, Director Liu looks down on the anchor, and the anchor doesn't need to send it to the door to slap his face, the well water of the two sides does not violate the river water, it is just the simplest working relationship. The only exception is JY, JY has a good relationship with Director Liu, why is it good?

JY later complained to Lin Chen that every time they met, Director Liu fooled him into investing in making movies, and the amount was not low, and he wanted to take away 50 million investment from him.

JY has 50 million cash to invest in making movies, let alone 50 million, 5 million in cash. The so-called 300 million worth is JYC, a few houses in the capital and scattered investments.

And JY said that even if he has an investment of 50 million, he would rather buy an extra house than invest in the film industry. The water in the film circle is too deep, and 50 million thrown into it may not even be able to make a splash.

Lin Chen doesn't know whether the water in the film circle is deep or not, anyway, he knows that the water in the entertainment industry is not shallow, and it is still very turbid.

Director Liu, who has always been cold, took the initiative to contact him, and Lin Chen was quite surprised.

"Haha, we are partners in the same program group, of course, we have to keep in touch with Teacher Ling Ling often. Director Liu changed his previous image and asked with a smile.

I have to say that Director Liu's attitude made Lin Chen even more surprised.

Whoever is your partner, wasn't it 'that who' before? Why did you suddenly become Teacher Lingchen, your attitude has changed a bit.

Although he was full of complaints, he said politely on the surface: "Director Liu is polite, you are the chief director of the program group, and I am at best a small soldier under you, please tell me if you have any instructions." ”

If he has nothing to do, he doesn't believe that Director Liu will change his attitude for no reason.

"Hey, where is the little soldier in the early morning, he is clearly the general of the town, and if the program team is without you, the whole show will be ruined. An exaggerated compliment, and then Director Liu's voice changed, and he asked casually: "By the way, the program team is preparing to start filming the fourth episode of the program in the near future, I wonder if the teacher has time to participate in the recording in the early morning?"

Lin Chen instantly understood the reason for Director Liu's enthusiasm in order to invite him to participate in the recording of the "Panda Kill" program.

It was precisely knowing the reason that Lin Chen was even more strange. Before the start of the filming of the show, the anchors knew that they needed to cooperate with the "Panda Kill" program, and unless there were objective factors, they had to participate in the recording of the program.

After thinking about it for a while, Lin Chen probably guessed the reason, and the root cause was only two words: popularity.

A month ago, Lin Chen, who participated in the recording of "Panda Kill", was still a newcomer, and his fame was limited to the live broadcast industry, and the outside world didn't know him as a character at all. A month later, with the help of the broadcast platform of "Panda Kill", his fame spread to the entire online world, and his fame was faintly comparable to that of third- and fourth-tier starlets.

The popularity of third- and fourth-tier stars is nothing in the entertainment industry, not to mention third- and fourth-tier stars, even second-tier stars, it is not uncommon for the entertainment industry to grab a lot of them.

The live broadcast industry is different, and the popularity of third- and fourth-tier stars is enough to impress Director Liu and make him find a way to return to the mainstream entertainment industry.

With the help of Lin Chen's fame, he has created an online variety show that is popular all over the Internet, and he will immediately become a guest of honor for the bigwigs. Resources, beauties, status at your fingertips.

From a dispensable newcomer to a star to rely on, Director Liu's attitude towards Lin Chen is naturally different.

Thinking of this, Lin Chen sighed slightly in his heart. It is said that the entertainment industry is realistic, and today can be regarded as an insight.

Although he probably guessed Director Liu's thoughts, he did not refuse: "It's still the same sentence, I am a small soldier under Director Liu, as long as it is for the show, I guarantee that I will be there with the transmission." ”

Director Liu needs to use "Panda Kill" to return to the entertainment industry, Lin Chen doesn't want to use "Panda Kill" to enter the entertainment industry, the two have the same goals, and there is no conflict between their needs. Even if you can't get used to the villain's face of the other party, you can only continue to cooperate.

"Great, with the participation of Mr. Lingchen, the number of hits on the show will definitely go to the next level, Mr. Lingchen, you will rest first, and I will tailor the script for you now." Getting the promise he wanted, Director Liu didn't stop at all, and hung up the phone directly.

Listening to the 'beep ......' sound on the mobile phone, Lin Chen's eyes were clear. Don't look at Director Liu's polite words, one by one, the teacher in the early morning, in his eyes, he is still an anchor who is not in the stream.

Does he respect himself?

No, how can a high-achieving director flatter an anchor who doesn't get into the stream? It's humiliating to cooperate with an anchor who doesn't get into the stream, and what he really flatters is just popularity.

"Popularity, popularity, it's something that people love and hate. ”
