Chapter Ninety-Four: Gambling
"Bet? What do you mean? Chicken Taimei's agent wondered.
Cangshu said: "Didn't you say that our show would hit the street without Yang Baobao and Chicken Taimei?" Then let's take a gamble, if our show is popular, Yang Baobao and Chicken are too beautiful to quit the entertainment industry. If we lose, 30 million and 40 million are free for you. ”
Yang Baobao and Ji Taimei's agent were stunned, and the two of them were covered with skin pimples, and only after a while did they say incredulously: "Are you kidding? ”
"Nope. In a word, it is difficult to chase the horse, and everyone here can testify. Cangshu raised his eyelids and said lightly.
The two brokers looked at each other, this is clearly sending money out, will there be fraud.
Who would do this as a normal person, the more they thought about it, the more they felt that there was a problem, and they didn't dare to agree casually.
The corners of Cangshu's mouth curled up and said, "What, don't you dare to bet?" ”
Just when the two agents were engaged in a fierce psychological struggle, the main door of the private room was suddenly opened, and a man in a suit and leather shoes walked in.
"The two agents promised him that we would bet with him."
Looking at Lu Linglong's gloomy face, it seems that this man was not invited by her, and he was not good.
"Fangzheng, what are you doing here?" Lu Linglong said coldly.
Fang Zheng sat down on an empty seat and said, "Of course, I am here for the two stars Yang Baobao and Ji Taimei, I want to invite them to participate in my variety show." ”
"He's your rival?" Cangshu asked Lu Linglong in a low voice.
Lu Linglong nodded and said, "Well, his name is Fang Zheng and he is also a chief director, and he is also in charge of a variety show." ”
"That's right, the variety star singing contest I am responsible for is already in its second season, and I plan to invite Yang Baobao and Ji Taimei to participate in this season." Fang Zheng said proudly that this show has won him a lot of fame and is his pride.
Star Singing Contest, Cangzhu does not have this show in his impression, but it can be regarded as a variety show with some strength if it can hold the second season.
But that's all there is to it, if it's a really good variety show, you must remember it.
When the two celebrity agents heard this, they said attentively: "It turned out to be Director Fang, we have heard of the Star Singing Contest for a long time, but I didn't expect Director Fang to be able to chase down a small city like Ancheng to talk about cooperation with us, it's really an honor." ”
Fang Zheng smiled and said: "The agents of the two big stars are modest, I wanted to invite you at first, but then I heard that Director Lu Linglong invited you, so I rushed over non-stop, I heard it at the door just now, and now our star singing contest is to invite Yang Baobao and Ji Taimei to be our official guests in the second season, and the remuneration will be paid according to 30 million and 40 million." ”
"Good! Good! We sign up! The two agents couldn't wait to agree.
What a generous handwriting!
Other celebrity agents looked at Yang Baobao and Ji Taimei's agent enviously, if they were to choose, they would definitely want to participate in the star singing contest.
Poaching someone at someone else's dinner is like slapping someone in the face.
Cangzhu was still calm, but Lu Linglong couldn't hold it anymore.
"Fangzheng, you're too much, here is our dinner and please go out!" Lu Linglong stood up and stretched out her hand to the door.
"Lu Linglong, what are you anxious about, it's not up to you to call the shots here, it should be this young brother who really makes the decisions, right?" Fang Zheng looked at Cangshu and said, "Just now you said you wanted to make a bet with the two of you?" How about we have higher ratings than anyone's variety shows? ”
When Yang Baobao and Ji Taimei's agent heard this, they hurriedly agreed: "Okay, let's bet!" ”
Before, they were still a little hesitant, what if their show was really popular.
But now there is no need to worry about this bet, because the star singing contest has a ratings base, and it is far from being comparable to a new show.
Fang Zheng and the others looked at Cangshu with a sneer, waiting for his answer.
"Mr. Cang, I can't agree." Lu Linglong reminded in a low voice.
Cangshu leaned back in his chair and said with a faint smile: "Yes, we bet!" ”
"Alas!" Lu Linglong sighed, feeling that Cangshu was really impulsive.
Fang Zheng laughed wildly: "Haha, okay, then let's wait for the result slowly." ”
After saying that, he left with the two agents.
The rest of the star agents are not leaving, nor are they staying. It's hard to sit in your seat.
For a while, the atmosphere at the dinner table was very awkward.
"Do you think I'm going to lose this bet?" Atractylodes took the lead in breaking the awkward deadlock and said to the remaining agents.
If the crowd didn't answer, it was a tacit acquiescence.
Cangshu continued: "Actually, this bet has no effect on you whether you win or lose, and losing is nothing more than me paying for it, and it will not affect your salary in any way. Win, but even if Yang Baobao and Ji Taimei quit the entertainment industry, it will not affect you. ”
"As long as you work well together, it will never be you who suffer, and I have confidence in our show."
When the agents think about it carefully, this is really the case.
Later, Cangshu signed a confidentiality contract with all the agents, and then distributed the real variety show script to everyone.
This is a revised version of Atractylodes, which is more detailed than the previous outline, emphasizing the various game links and the character of each star.
In variety shows, character design is a very important thing.
Take Running Man and Extreme Pick, everyone in the show has their own personality, for example: the big black bull in Running Man represents strong, Hehe represents foodies, and the three essences and three fools in Extreme Picking.
These are all characters, and these are all elements that attract the audience.
After a detailed explanation of Atractylodes, everyone present was full of confidence in the new variety show, and they suddenly felt that the star sang something inferior.
After sending away all the agents, Lu Linglong said with some concern: "But now that Yang Baobao and Ji Taimei are leaving, where can we find a very popular star." ”
Cangshu said: "You don't have to be very popular, you can just find two people who are a little popular." ”
"Really just looking for two? There is a small entertainment company in Quanjicheng, and there is a girl under them who is still a little famous on the Internet. Lu Linglong said.
"Okay, can you arrange a meeting? In person, you can see the actor's character. Cangshu said.
Lu Linglong said: "Yes, I will arrange it." ”
……
Quanji City, the office atmosphere of Qianying Entertainment Company is extremely depressing.
The boss, Li Yihan, was sitting at his desk and reprimanding Mu Xiaodie.
He founded the company when he was young, and the ups and downs were quite stable all the way, although the artists under his hand were not well-known, they could always receive plays, so that the company would not starve to death.
But it wasn't until last year that the company recruited new people and found Mu Xiaodie, who had an excellent image.
As a result, the company almost devoted all its financial resources to make Mu Xiaodie a popular first sister, and it turned out that Mu Xiaodie was also very powerful, and having a large number of fans in a short period of time can be regarded as hovering between the second and first lines.
But later, Mu Xiaodie wandered between the first and second lines, and she can't even receive a drama at present.
"Mu Xiaodie! Your new character is blowing again, can you tell me what's going on? Li Yihan slammed the table.
Mu Xiaodie said, "That old pervert director wanted me to spend the night with him, but I didn't agree, so I ......"
"How many times? How many times have you offended the director because of this kind of thing? Li Yihan paced back and forth angrily: "The company spent so much money to train you, and now it's hard to pick you up, so you repay the company like this?" They look at your face, don't take yourself so seriously. ”
"I'll give you one last chance, no matter what the director asks, you have to agree, and if you can't get the scene, you can go home."
Just as he is about to contact a few more directors to arrange roles for Mu Xiaodie, the secretary suddenly knocks open the office door.
"Mr. Li, Miss Lu Linglong, the chief director of the TV variety show, wants to invite Mu Xiaodie to participate in a variety show."
