Chapter 22 The old king next door visits

"This one doesn't work, it's too short. ”

"It's not going to work, it's not funny. ”

"This still doesn't work, it's a dialect, and the audience is too narrow. ”

At night, Zhang Fan lay in his rental house******** yawning and searching for cross talk passages in the points store.

Today is Friday, and another week has passed.

This week's four-day continuous broadcast of the program brought some troubles to Zhang Fan while the ratings of the program continued to rise. The ugly girl's stand-up comedy has already been halfway through after a few episodes, and he must now find a new cross talk to continue his show.

There are so many cross talk passages in the points store that Zhang Fan is dazzled. I don't know which one to choose.

'Ringing ring~~~' mobile phone ringtone rescued Zhang Fan from his troubles. When I picked up the phone, I saw that it was Chen Guozhong.

"Brother Chen, haven't you rested so late?" Zhang Fan sent a flattering word after connecting the mobile phone, and he didn't want money anyway.

"Haha~~~ Born to work hard. Chen Guozhong laughed and said, "Xiao Zhang, come to Taiwan tomorrow, I have something good to look for you." ”

"What's the matter?" Zhang Fan asked suspiciously. Tomorrow is the weekend, so I have to rest.

"It's definitely a good thing to know when you come. After hanging up the phone, Zhang Fan began to think about what good things he would say on the weekend? Could it be that the advertisers saw that he was too handsome and wanted to ask him to shoot an advertisement?

After thinking about it for a while, sleepiness hit, and Zhang Fan directly turned over and fell asleep. As for finding a new cross talk, let's wait until tomorrow.

The next day, Zhang Fan, who got up early in the morning, cleaned himself up and set off to the TV station.

"Leader, are you busy?" After walking into Chen Guozhong's office, Zhang Fan saw at a glance that there were still a few unknown people in the office who were laughing. Zhang Fan was about to leave when he was stopped by Chen Guozhong: "Xiao Zhang, don't go, I'm here to find you." ”

"This is..."Zhang Fan was stunned for a moment, not knowing what these people were looking for him to do.

"Hello Zhang Fan, I am the deputy director of the variety channel, you can just call me Lao Wang. A meticulous middle-aged man in a formal suit with combed hair stood up and stretched out his hand to Zhang Fan.

“... Lao Wang. Zhang Fan was stunned, he had already stretched out his hand, and subconsciously asked, "Where is your house next door?"

"Next door to my house?" Deputy Director Wang was also stunned by Zhang Fan's question, "My home is in Biting Garden Community, what's wrong?"

"No, no. Zhang Fan smiled and waved his hand, and made up his mind that he would never go to live in this community.

"These are all colleagues from the cross talk contest program of the variety channel. Chen Guozhong continued to introduce a few people to Zhang Fan, and at the same time explained the reason for coming to him today, "They all watched our show, and they all said that your cross talk was very good." So this is coming to you for the competition. ”

The art of cross talk has an extremely large foundation in China. Even if it has been greatly regressed by those cross talk actors who advocate elegance and advocate educating the audience through the program over the years, many people who are disappointed in cross talk have left, but the base of this art still exists. There are still many, many people who are concerned.

There are also people who have a shrewd eye to see this, and the deputy director Wang in front of him is one of them.

It was under his vigorous promotion that the variety channel of Imperial Capital TV officially held a large-scale cross talk competition in prime time on the weekend.

However, because it was the first time it was held, many things were confusing. The leaders of the station decided to invite those famous cross talk actors to serve as judges. And the first requirement of these famous cross talk actors after becoming judges is that all the applicants can only be recommended by professionals to be eligible to participate in the competition.

The explanation of these famous cross talk actors is that cross talk is a very professional and elegant art. Not everyone who sells vegetables on the street can come up and say a few words. It must be reviewed by a professional before being eligible to take the stage.

Although Deputy Director Wang felt that something was wrong, he had to listen to them because he didn't know anything about this industry.

However, the most immediate reaction was that thousands of people signed up for the qualifiers. But only a few dozen people were actually approved.

And what's even more exaggerated is that all of these dozens of people are related to those judges. It's not an apprentice or a friend's recommendation, it's not a relative or a fellow countryman. If it goes on like this, then the show will be finished.

As I have said before, the competition within the TV station is very fierce, even tragic. It doesn't matter how high your status is or how deep your seniority is in Taili. Once there are no ratings and the program can't be run, you, a relative of the director, will leave!

After the preliminaries, Deputy Director Wang could see it. He was tricked by those so-called cross talk masters.

People simply use him as a platform to pave the way for their own people, and then continue to be able to rule the entire cross talk world. grasp the right to speak in the cross talk industry, and resolutely do not allow newcomers to come forward.

For Deputy Director Wang, these cross talk masters want to continue to master the cross talk world and have nothing to do with him. He's not talking about cross talk.

But these relatives and friends and apprentices found by these people are still talking about those sleepy and elegant cross talks, which has caused the ratings of the show to drop all the way, and it is almost at the bottom in the prime time on Saturday night. This is digging the roots of Deputy Director Wang.

If this show is yellow, not to mention that there will definitely not be a second session in the future. He, Deputy Director Wang, the chief planner, will not be able to mix in the station in the future. This is really something that my uncle can't bear and my aunt can't bear!

Now that the qualifiers have ended, the anxious Deputy Director Wang was in a hurry when he suddenly found that there was a program in the station with a cross talk program with explosive ratings. Deputy Director Wang, who had already fallen into the river with most of his body in the water, immediately ran over and wanted to grab Zhang Fan's life-saving straw.

He didn't know if the straw was useful, he only knew that if he didn't catch it, he would really sink to the bottom of the river to feed the fish.

"Crosstalk competition?" After hearing the news, Zhang Fan's brows immediately furrowed.

What are you kidding? The cross talk he said costs points to buy. How could he be in the mood to participate in such a competition? That's more valuable points than gold.

"I'm sorry. Zhang Fan shook his head and refused, "My current show is going to do four episodes a week, and I'm already very busy." There really isn't much time to participate in cross talk competitions. ”

"Xiao Zhang, are you worried that those judges will cause you trouble?" Deputy Director Wang, who was already sick and rushed to the doctor, was most afraid of Zhang Fan, who had good ratings, refusing at this time. It is natural to think that Zhang Fan is unwilling to participate because of those judges. Immediately reassured: "Don't worry! I have taken back all my rights." All competitions rely on online voting to determine rankings. Those judges can't do anything but talk!"

Deputy Director Wang, who had already sensed that something was wrong, took back all the rights from the judges after the preliminaries. If it weren't for the fact that the show had officially started, a lot of energy had been put into the early stage. He even wanted to do it all over again.

Now in order to pull Zhang Fan, who has good ratings, into the show, he immediately said that he definitely doesn't have to worry about those off-the-field things. He also thought that Zhang Fan was really a person in the cross talk world, and he didn't know at all that the reason why Zhang Fan refused was because he didn't want to waste points.

Zhang Fan pursed his lips and was about to continue refusing, but his expression changed in an instant.

After a moment of silence, Zhang Fan asked with some hesitation: "Now that the preliminaries are over, can I still participate?" and I heard that it seems that there is still a professional to recommend me? ”

"You have to rest assured about that. Deputy Director Wang saw that Zhang Fan was a little moved, and immediately patted his chest and packed the ticket, "The program team will invite you to participate in the competition as a special guest, and those judges can't get down." All the results of the competition are based on online voting as the final standard, and the champion can get a prize of 100,000 yuan!

Deputy Director Wang still thinks that Zhang Fan is worried about those judges, and takes it for granted that Zhang Fan is also a person in the cross talk industry. I didn't expect that what really moved Zhang Fan was the bonus of 100,000 yuan!

"Good. Zhang Fan nodded neatly and responded, "Since Deputy Director Wang sincerely invited, then I will be disrespectful." ”

"Hehe~~~ Okay, good. Deputy Director Wang, who was anxious for the sake of ratings, finally breathed a sigh of relief, and his face, which had been nervous, also showed a smile.

Zhang Fan told himself righteously in his heart that he definitely did not participate for the prize money of 100,000 yuan. He's for the task just given by the system!

Just when Zhang Fan refused, the system suddenly sent a brand new task.

"Carry forward the quintessence of the country and revitalize the art of cross talk!"

This task not only requires Zhang Fan to win the championship of the cross talk competition, but also to bring those viewers who are disappointed in cross talk and have never watched cross talk back to this art.

Although the task may seem like a trick, there are always risks and opportunities. Once the task is completed, the reward will be very generous! More importantly, there is also the bonus of 100,000 yuan!

"Leader, it's okay for me to participate in the cross talk competition, right?" After Deputy Director Wang and his party left happily, Zhang Fan's attention turned to Chen Guozhong.

"It's fine. "Chen Guozhong has a big package" Although our program is now four episodes a week, your strength is so strong. Directly off the script and recorded in one go. It doesn't affect anything at all. Moreover, their show is the trump card of Saturday prime time, and if you go to participate, it will be good for you and our show. That's a good thing. ”

Of course, it is good for Zhang Fan, because it can increase his reputation. It is also good for the laughing and talking about life program group, because after Zhang Fan becomes famous, there will definitely be more viewers watching their show, which will naturally increase the ratings.

After thinking about this, Zhang Fan smiled and breathed a sigh of relief, "Leader, do you still have tea here?"
