It's a new day, Yang An looked at the thick stack of letters of intent and contracts in front of him, the signature column was on major TV programs, and even appeared frequently in the CCTV Spring Festival Gala, and he was full of a sense of accomplishment in his heart.

But there is still a problem, Zhou Jinci has not yet solved it.

Yang An has inquired through various channels, nationwide, there are no more than 100 pantomime performers, and there are no more than five pantomime actors who can make him look at it.

And Yang An really wants to help Zhou Jinci become famous, at least to help him financially, he plans to visit one last time, either persuade to join, or give up.

This time Yang An still asked Xiao Ying, the little girl had already understood that she and Yang An were just a misunderstanding, although she felt uncomfortable, but she still gave Yang An an address, Hongcheng Shopping Mall in the city center.

What can Zhou Jinci do in Hongcheng Shopping Mall? Xiao Ying didn't say anything, she just said that she saw it when she went.

Yang An arrived soon by subway, walked on the overpass, and saw that in the bustling crowd, under a large bundle of colorful balloons, a clown with heavy makeup was handing out flyers and giving gifts.

Yang An is very sure that this clown is played by Zhou Jinci.

The clown Zhou Jinci could not speak, his face was painted with colorful oil paint, and he always kept smiling, and occasionally used exaggerated body language to attract the attention of passers-by.

Yang An stood at the end of the overpass, looking down on all this, and when there were more and more passers-by who stopped and stopped, the clown stuffed the promotional cards and flyers in his hand into the backpack behind his back, looked left and right, and pointed to the cleaner who was cleaning the glass in front of the large window of the mall exhibition hall.

At the moment, there is no music, no applause, no cameras, just curious spectators looking at clowns, and many more pedestrians hurrying without squinting.

The clown suddenly opened his arms and followed the cleaner's movements of holding the cleaning scraper, grabbed a piece of the void scraper, and hit it on the empty glass window.

Then, he dragged the void scraper vigorously, from left to right, scraping a void watermark mark in the void, the movement was very steady, the trajectory was straight, without any deviation, as if moving on real glass.

Then he repeated the action, cleaning the void glass window over and over again.

The cleaner five meters in front of him was unaware, still doing his own cleaning.

But he and the cleaner acted exactly the same, even the cleaner raised his arm to wipe the sweat from his forehead, and the clown learned to look like him, as if he were the cleaner's shadow.

Everyone found out about this and all laughed.

"Hahahaha...... It's amazing! Is he doing a parody show? ”

"It's so much fun!"

"Mom, look at it, that clown is so fun~"

"Awesome, is this a performance art performance? It looks like it should be difficult! ”

The children laughed and exclaimed, and the onlookers were also quite amazed, and took out their mobile phones to take pictures and videos.

After the clown finished cleaning one of the empty windows, he began to clean the next one, and he worked very hard to clean it.

All viewers can see the truth, there is no window pane at all.

But at this moment, it was as if everyone had such a real glass in their hearts, which was being cleaned by the clown.

That's the beauty of art!

Watching Zhou Jinci perform so hard, Yang An suddenly felt a little sour in his nose.

He thought of the two seasons of "Happy Comedian" he saw, both seasons had pantomime performances, but the contestants in both seasons were eliminated early and regretfully exited.

Thinking of Zhou Jinci's almost stubborn refusal, Yang An could only sigh and walk off the overpass.

The clown played for a while, turned around and spread his hands with the laughing children, signaling that he still had to work, the children gave the warmest applause to the clown brother, passers-by put away their mobile phones and left, the clown took out the promotional card again to give it to people, everything returned to reality, a minute ago the colorful art soap bubble exploded instantly.

Yang An took a promotional card and didn't walk away, he stood in front of the clown and bowed slowly.

"I sincerely apologize to you for what I have said and done. On December 20th, the first episode of the first season of "Happy Comedian" was officially recorded, and I will reserve a starting entry spot for you until December 18th, which is three weeks away from today, and you should have enough time to prepare. Here's my business card with the address on it, call me if you want to come. ”

Yang An stuffed a business card into the clown's pocket, patted it gently, turned to leave, took two steps and turned back: "Art, shouldn't be lonely!" ”

Watching Yang An leave, the smile on Zhou Jinci's face gradually faded, his heart was churning, and he couldn't calm down for a long time, in fact, he was more eager to be recognized than anyone else in the world and looked forward to success.

"Jolly comedian...... The top comedy team in China PK fights...... But they all have screenwriters, directors, and assistants, and I'm just one person, one person! Can I get audience likes? Can I compare myself to the big names in my comedics? Will I be able to make it through the first round? ”

Zhou Jinci's heart was extremely conflicted, and he was suddenly awakened by an angry roar behind him, it was the director of the shopping mall with an angry face, he came back to his senses, his face instantly turned into a smile, nodded and apologized to the director, and started to distribute promotional flyers again.

……

The crew of "Happy Comedian" was prepared, Song Xiaomei and Rong Feifei went to Blue Ocean in advance, there is a four-star hotel controlled by Blue Ocean Radio and Television next door to Blue Ocean Satellite TV, Song Xiaomei rented four rooms as the base camp of the crew, and in the future, the transportation, accommodation and food of the contestants will be taken care of by this hotel, which is a benefit promised by Blue Ocean Satellite TV.

Yang An was still in Hongfeng, and Yao Ning followed him for a few days, helping to run a few things, among which Yao Ning helped a lot in terms of sponsors.

When doing the program "Jianghu Laughter", the sponsor system was a mess, before Yang An took over, it would be good if some merchants were willing to invest money, and Hongfeng Satellite TV even planned to sell the naming rights for 1.8 million for a year!

Now after the explanation of Yao Ning, an industry veteran, Yang An learned that the original program has a variety of sponsors, many different time periods, different locations, can be subdivided into three levels, each level has a different number of advertisements, and different prices, without affecting the audience's mood, the producer can make as much money as possible.

Yang An is not against making money, on the contrary, he is very willing to do it, the more money he makes, the higher the announcement fee he can pay, like Zhou Jinci, a grassroots artist who is fighting alone, like the declining cross talk artists, Yang An does not mind improving their treatment.

Mr. Niu's liquor factory won and won the highest first-class naming rights, that is, "Welcome to the "Happy Comedian" broadcast under the title of Ancient and Modern Liquor", as well as about ten seconds of advertisements inserted at critical moments, and the naming fee for one season is 45 million.

In Yang An's opinion, this price was more than he imagined, but Yao Ning scoffed.

Yao Ning said: "Director Yang, I want to tell you something about the TV industry as a friend. Let's just say "Jianghu Laughter", I heard that it is only 5 million a year? This price is in Blue Ocean Satellite TV, which is the naming fee of a 0.55% rating program. If "Jianghu Jokes", which has an audience rating of 1.35%, is placed on Blue Ocean Satellite TV, the naming fee will be about nine figures. ”

Can it break 100 million!?

Yang An really didn't think that there would be such a big gap in the middle, but after thinking about it, what identity and qualifications did he have when he did "Jianghu Laughter"?

He couldn't afford to say anything at that time, he could get 5 million from Mu Hei Duck, plus 2% of the income of the online store, he was already very satisfied, next year's "Jianghu Laughter", if you can still maintain such a high rating, the price increase is a must.

Yang An said: "Sister Ning, I know that "Happy Comedian" is not favored by many people, I have contacted many businesses, food companies, real estate agencies, cosmetics, FMCG clothing, many companies either say they are not interested, or they say that tens of millions of advertising costs are too expensive, if it is not for Mr. Niu's ancient and modern wine contract, maybe this season's comedians will start broadcasting naked." ”

Yao Ningjiao laughed and said, "Who made your Enron Film and Television Entertainment Company too famous?" If we Blue Ocean Satellite TV are to lead, 45 million can only become a special sponsor, and the exclusive title must be 88 million for a season, which is still the starting price! ”

Yang An smacked his tongue: "Sister Ning, with your help, I have taken enough, the exclusive title of ancient and modern wine is 45 million, and the designated products Strongman yogurt and Red Bull functional drinks are each 16.8 million, plus other host clothing, hairstyles, and network APP, although the total amount does not exceed 100 million, this is beyond my imagination too much!" ”

Yao Ning sneered: "Look at your little bit of interest, less than 20 million have been allocated to our Blue Ocean Satellite TV, this is still a prime-time program on Thursday night, do you know what it means?" ”

Yang An immediately begged for mercy: "Sister Ning, don't say anything, don't beat me!" I promise to do a good job of the show, this year, we will make a name for ourselves in the first season, and I will also put it on Blue Ocean Satellite TV in the second season next year, how about letting you personally be responsible for attracting investment? ”

Yao Ning glanced at him: "It's pretty much the same!" ”

Blue Ocean Satellite TV has calculated an account, withdrawn Thursday's prime time, introduced an independent project, and lost about 30 million on the books, but grabbing Yang An means that competitors lose Yang An, one in and one out of this account has to be calculated separately, and as long as Yang An can produce a variety show with ratings of more than 1.3%, in the long run, Blue Ocean Satellite TV thinks it is worth it.

Yang An's statement just now is very good, Yao Ning believes that as long as the ratings break 1.3% this season, she can get back at least 200 million in the second season!

With money, Yang An can spend big, and the first batch of six photographers and six assistants were sent to the locations of the six groups of contestants to follow the artist's preparation and collect various tidbits.

Yao Ning said: "There is still one last thing to do, the hype of the franchise contract, tomorrow's press conference, are you ready?" ”

Yang An replied: "I'm ready, but why do my eyelids keep jumping these days?" ”

Yao Ning snorted, domineering and exposed: "Whoever wants to stir up the situation is just unable to get along with our Blue Ocean Satellite TV!" ”

PS: This chapter, I wrote a little tangled, mime does not please the audience, I myself prefer () through (urine) vulgar (fart) jokes, especially some heavy jokes, because it is not brainy, it is cool to listen to, and it is very relaxed and pleasant to watch. But deep down, I still want to have enough respect for many artistic situations, such as the mime performance of the comedy master Chaplin. Don't forget, the comedian champion of the first season, Shen Teng, is mostly a sketch, but he has also done a mime performance, which is a tribute to the classic Chaplin.

Although we live in a fast-paced world of rampant materialism, we can't change anything, but we only want to keep a little pure space in the depths of our hearts.
