Chapter 228: Sales

Although Liu Lihao usually dresses colorfully, his colleagues on the TV station know that he is actually a scavenging crow, declining to death, and he likes to pick up and eat garbage that others don't want.

The late-night file is a garbage dump, and many curious, experimental, heavy-mouthed, violent, edge-rubbing, and even inexplicable programs are broadcast in this time period.

Advertisers don't look at it very much, and most of the audience has already gone to bed, so the budget of the program is not high, and there are no stars.

Their content is not necessarily interesting, and some will even make the audience wonder if the producer is sick in the brain, but the audience who is tired of watching "profound", "meaningful" and "positive energy" is very happy to experience the diversity of the show, such as idol artists tearing off their masks and choking each other, the host interacting with insects and snakes, and the guests being pranked by the program team without knowing it......

In these programs, Liu Lihao can often be seen.

Blindly licking toads, swallowing goldfish raw, blowing cockroaches around in pipes, biting out the bottom key with your teeth in a basin full of snakes...... As long as an artist cares about his image and has a career plan for the future, he will not do such a thing.

Liu Lihao did not refuse to come, different from ordinary people, and even a little different from perverts.

He is like a mercenary, but whenever a show wants to do something new and stimulate the ratings, he will be found.

As long as he can be on the show, no matter what he is asked to do, he is willing to do it.

Very dedicated, very professional, very bottom-notch.

It's really not good if you don't fight. The late-night program is the exile of the old employees of the TV station, the practice ground for young choreographers and directors, and the last shelter for low-level artists.

Although the artists at the bottom are also artists, they are on the back of the magnesium lamp, which is no different from consumables. Most of them rely on part-time jobs to maintain food and clothing, with the dream of stardom that has not been extinguished, and they cherish every opportunity to appear on the camera with great enthusiasm, but they only get a pitiful amount of performance fees for most of the day, and they occasionally have to post backwards when they calculate the travel expenses, and when they are unlucky, they will be caught by the crew as coolies after being a clown in the show, and they will be caught by the crew to be a coolie outside the show. can't refuse, because there is no way to retreat, and then there is the world outside the circle, if you want to continue to wait for that empty opportunity, you can only be honest as a cow and horse, and be commanded by the whole group to greet you, even if the final reward is only a meaningless "I am optimistic about you" from the director.

Liu Lihao worked as a free coolie in the crew, and worked as a handyman, screenwriter, lighting, and props...... I'm about to make myself an all-rounder, but I can't get out of this quagmire.

In this kind of day when there is no way out, many people can't hold on, so they have to retreat to the world of ordinary people, begging for a stable job with an uncompetitive resume, and the original vacant position is quickly replaced by the next person who is struggling to survive, and no audience will worry and care.

The probability of being able to survive and succeed is as small as a horse's genetic mutation with horns on its forehead, and there may not be one in many years.

No one thought that Liu Lihao would be this unicorn.

Even he didn't expect it.

"Brother Hao, let's go to the dressing room." "Brother Hao, if the fruits and snacks don't suit your taste, I'll change them."

"Teacher Liu, your outfit is very fashionable, quite personal."

"Lihao, look at this script, is there any topic you don't want to hear."

“……”

Liu Lihao went all the way from the backstage to the studio, even if his face was almost stiff with a smile, he didn't put it down.

The mood is a little subtle, a little pantothenic. It was a feeling of "finally being seen".

In the past, when he came to work at the TV station, he was no different from any ordinary person, he never had peers or staff to greet him, and occasionally he would be stopped by the new security guard because he took the initiative to greet people; The dressing room for rest is also shared with a bunch of strange people, some of whom are talking on the phone, some are pulling the smelly instant noodles, and some are bringing crying children, whose five senses are bombarded all the time, and they even have to go to the corridor if they want to rest; The staff in charge of docking are very young, but they have a big temper, they call people by name and surname, even if they don't give them snacks or fruits, even a bottle of mineral water may not be able to get it on time; Every time the stylist comes, he has a grudge against him, claiming that his outfit is visual pollution, and always forcing him to change into the least limelight passerby suit, including underwear and socks, before letting him go on stage; A few peers don't say anything to each other, they rarely talk about it, they have contempt for each other in their hearts, and those who can lift their chins are polite.

Now, that's all changed......

Liu Lihao knows the root cause of all this.

"Xiao Liu, wait a minute, you sit in front, you can remember these four seats. That is a panorama, and that is a close-up of you......" After the director said these to Liu Lihao, he asked him: "Your duration will be a little more, can you talk more about "Living Alone" later?" ”

Liu Lihao nodded hurriedly, yes, yes.

When a TV station is recorded, you shouldn't mention the work of another TV station - unless it is popular.

Last week, the Golden Bull Award shortlist was announced, and the next day "Living Alone" completed its premiere.

The show has made a good start in terms of both discussion and ratings.

Both inside and outside the industry, they are actually paying attention to "Living Alone".

For audiences outside the industry, this show can unveil the mystery of celebrities and satisfy everyone's desire and curiosity to spy on the private lives of celebrities.

For industry insiders, this show is a stage, as long as the artist completes a performance, he can carry out a public relations or adjustment of the previous image, providing the market with another "more real" image.

Documentaries are supposed to assume the above two functions, but the cycle is too long, and it is not easy to return to the cost. Director Zhou's show is broadcast once a week, and the guest rotation system is adopted, but it is just right.

However, it was Guan Chen who really made the show out of the circle.

At this point in time at the end of the old year and the beginning of the new year, it is the peak of Guan Chen's traffic.

"Police Story" has been screened, "Black Dragon 2" is still being screened in theaters, and the promotion of "Key to Destiny", which will be released during the Spring Festival, has been rolled out. The three movies took turns, but Guan Chen's popularity rose exponentially, and his presence in the film industry is increasing day by day, even people who have not seen the movie can hear Guan Chen's name.

"Living Alone" appeared at the right time, giving these people who know Guan Chen or don't know Guan Chen a way to understand him.

Yin Shu and Pan Xu's part met the expectations of the industry and outside, but it was Guan Chen's turn, and everyone was stupid when they saw it.

The audience thinks, "This is too fake!" Acting, right? "Is this what celebrities look like in private? "Is this really the case with people in this studio who work like this? ”……

Industry insiders think, "This is a bit too real, isn't it?" "Don't cut it off? "What kind of character is this going on......

As soon as the show was broadcast, it was on five hot searches. Yin Shu and Pan Xu's team each bought one, and the remaining three were all discussions spontaneously formed by netizens about Guan Chen.

Although Xie Jinzhu, as a member of the observation group, gave some explanations for Guan Chen's behavior, there were too many things that everyone did not understand.

For example, after Guan Chen finished his workout and was ready to have breakfast, he first pulled out a complimentary magazine from the side of the tent - it sold other camping supplies. Guan Chen turned to the page selling hunting knives, and while nibbling on steamed buns with relish, he looked at the knives for a long time. Everyone doesn't know if Guan Chen is in a daze at this time, or is he eating with a knife?

For another example, after Guan Chen arrived at the company, everyone discussed the taste of the cake for a long time at the meeting, and everyone wondered if this studio was really so outrageous? If so, what other absurd issues were discussed in the previous meetings? What are the recruitment criteria for this studio?

Guan Chen, who can answer the questions of netizens, is promoting the "Key to Destiny" roadshow at this time.

Therefore, Liu Lihao, as an inner disciple of the Xing family's class, the third senior brother of Guan Chen, and an incumbent member of Xie Jinzhu's studio, finally couldn't hide his identity, and was invited by a group of directors from the late night file to the prime time to record the show.

The show Liu Lihao recorded today is a talk entertainment show, and it is the trump card program of the Bay Province, called "Cai Xu is Coming".

Each time the program will invite one or several guests to chat with two hosts, a man and a woman.

With the addition of Liu Lihao, there are a total of five guests today. are all slightly related to current popular topics, such as the assistant director of a popular TV series, such as the eleventh top singer of a talent show...... Liu Lihao is the least well-known among these people, but as soon as he was introduced as "Guan Chen's senior brother", the audience applauded in surprise and then excitement.

Sitting in the seat of the show, looking at the surroundings, I feel that everything is new. After being depressed in the middle of the night for a few years, he suddenly got on the prime file and got the pleasure of being released from prison.

Liu Lihao hurriedly shook his head, and after following Guan Chen for a long time, he even became strange to describe his feelings.

The show is hosted by a man and a woman, and the configuration is one responsible for offending the guests, and the other is responsible for comforting the guests.

When Liu Lihao was introduced, as soon as the male host told Liu Lihao's past variety show resume, the female host jumped up and said, "I have an impression!" Are you the one who swallows the goldfish raw, or the one who licks the toad? ”

Liu Lihao said that both were him.

The hostess pretended to be disgusted and shrunk her shoulders, then asked him excitedly, "Eh, what did you think before licking these things?" Didn't you think about pulling down your face on the spot, saying, 'I'm not doing it' and then leaving on the spot? ”

Liu Lihao shook his head and said with a straight face, when he couldn't get any work a few years ago, he swore in his heart that as long as he could give him a new job, he could do anything. There are a lot of people who have left the circle, but there don't seem to be many who have left and come back. It's rare that directors can afford him, pull him up when he was in the most difficult time, give him the opportunity to perform, and the only way for him to repay his kindness is to do whatever the director tells him to do.

The hostess complained with emotion: "Don't you want to be so leaky, as a professional, you are too mature." Now without your leadership, you can say something real. ”

Liu Lihao was impassioned: "That's what I really think!" There's always one way for me to get out of the field, and that's to get seriously injured, poisoned, and then carried off. ”

His once dirty pigtails had spread out and draped over his shoulders, swinging back and forth with the wave of his arms, as if he had been tormented by life and curled up with raw edges.

"Come less! You come less! The hostess almost left her seat, pointing at Liu Lihao and asking him not to play again.

The male host stopped his partner, pulled back the topic and asked Liu Lihao: "Your current workplace should be in Xie Jinzhu's studio." Xie Jinzhu gave you a job, what is your way of repaying the favor? ”

Liu Lihao was silent for a few seconds and said, "Give them a better chance." ”

During his time in Xie Jinzhu's studio, it was actually much more comfortable than when he was on the TV station. If he could, he wouldn't mind joining the studio with a dead face and eating with Guan Chen, maybe with the increase in self-made films, with luck, he could also return to his role as an actor.

It's a pity that Liu Lihao knows in his heart that Guan Chen and Xie Jinzhu, who are "non-mainstream family workshops" that put righteousness first, will not go far at all.

The entertainment industry strictly abides by the 28 law, blocking other people's financial paths, and Xie Jinzhu, who has no background and lacks business knowledge, will definitely not be able to cope with those malicious black hands in the future.

Liu Lihao feels that bringing Guan Chen to a powerful brokerage company as soon as possible is a win-win situation in the true sense of a win-win situation.

"There are many netizens on the Internet who say that your studio is a grass stage team. What do you think? The male host asked Liu Lihao.

That's right! Liu Lihao thought so in his heart, but he denied it again and again.

He used the performance of everyone in "Living Alone" as an example. In the program, there was thick smoke, the fire alarm sounded, all the employees were surprised and quickly calmed down, and everyone evacuated the scene in an orderly manner under the command of the safety officer. It can be seen that there is a lot of this kind of sudden training. As evidenced by the video provided by neighbors, Guan Chen also led his employees to run on the street in the morning, holding an explosion-proof shield and shouting "Prevent marriage robbery!" Prevent Marriage Troubles! "Teach everyone how to move in formation. Highlight a wolf culture, very united.

"It's a very new way of management. Guan Chen said that when encountering a disaster crisis, being able to calm down is equivalent to increasing the survival rate by half. Liu Lihao said that after this kind of drill training, in addition to learning the knowledge of dealing with disasters, the psychological quality of employees has also been greatly improved. Whether it's a conflict in daily life or an accident at work, employees can quickly calm down and deal with it.

Actually, it's all bullshit!

If he remembers correctly, the public relations of Guan Chen's team, who was a customer service half a year ago, can repeat a set of words a hundred times without changing his face and not stun himself, but as soon as she encounters negative public opinion against Guan Chen on the Internet, she only knows how to register a small account and explain it to each netizen one by one;

The person who does propaganda is a little girl who has just graduated, because she usually loves to chase stars, so she has been surfing the Internet for the longest time, and has the largest number of people who have been followed on Weite (as many as 214 people), so she killed the accountant Aunt Zhang and won the job. Its main job is to use the studio's account to like and repost Guan Chen's video, and the others are gone;

As for art design, he used to be a wedding artist, a design and design invitation, and his major is also the right one, and he can do the right thing, but he was assigned a lot of tasks by Guan Chen, today he has to design a thousand strange awards, and tomorrow he will add special effects and subtitles to Guan Chen's video;

The agent is Xie Jinzhu, who collects a script every day, Guan Chen said no, and he didn't persuade him, so he happily listened to Guan Chen's words, and he didn't have any career planning for Guan Chen.

The only reliable person in the entire studio is only one manager Qian, and he is the only one who can do things, and he is disliked by Guan Chen in every way.

It can be said that Guan Chen has been able to reach this height today without having an accident, which is already great luck. If you keep staying, it will be over sooner or later.

However, Liu Lihao, who has experience in selling health care products, cannot tell the truth about the goods, let alone say that his products are produced in an underground workshop.

You can't show cowardice, otherwise it is not conducive to adding money.

"Our team is very professional and united." Liu Lihao said solemnly.

After saying this, Liu Lihao glanced behind the camera. There stood one of his acquaintances.

It is a "buyer" waiting to buy Guan Chen.
