Chapter 152: I've been your big brother for three years
Lu Yanhe rested for more than ten minutes before packing up his things, coming out of the rehearsal room, and going to find Li Zhibai and Yan Liang.
The two of them were also in the company, in the rehearsal room on the other floor.
He walked down the hallway with his bag on his back to wait for the elevator, when suddenly, the MX group arrived in a group.
"Please give way! Hurry! MX's agent Lin Suyang took the lead, shouting and coming over, looking in a hurry, not knowing where to go.
In addition to Lu Yanhe at the elevator door, there are other people in the company.
He stepped aside with the others.
Lin Suyang stood at the door of the elevator with a few people from MX, and Yu Guang was stunned when he saw Lu Yanhe.
As Xingyu's agent, of course he knows about Lu Yanhe's recent changes.
The person who was favored by Chen Ziyan.
Lin Suyang glanced at it more and didn't say anything.
However, after MX's Ma Zhiyuan saw Lu Yanhe, his face straightened directly, as if Lu Yanhe owed him a lot of money, and he looked disdainful.
Since the last conflict in the restaurant, Lu Yanhe and Ma Zhiyuan have not seen each other again.
Now seeing Ma Zhiyuan, Lu Yanhe only said a sentence in his heart.
"MX is really hot right now." Lu Yanhe heard someone whispering behind him, "It seems that they have taken another endorsement." ”
"Well, what is the name of the snack brand endorsement that has been very popular recently? Feeling a little busy with snacks? ”
"Seems to be the name."
In the company, to measure whether an artist is popular or not is to see how much business he has.
There are various reasons for film and television resources, and business is real, the brand thinks that you can bring goods, and there are more people who come to the door, and those who think that your ability to bring goods is not very good, and there are fewer people who come to the door.
MX advanced the elevator, and no one entered this class of elevators.
Wait until the next elevator before Lu Yanhe gets on.
-
Lu Yanhe came to the rehearsal room where Li Zhibai and Yan Liang were and saw Zhou Ping'an at the door.
Zhou Ping'an also saw him.
The eyes of the two people met, and for a while, all kinds of complexities were beyond words.
In the end, Zhou Ping'an looked away, as if he hadn't seen Lu Yanhe.
Lu Yanhe didn't come forward to say hello, and stood silently in place, waiting for Li Zhibai and Yan Liang to come out.
After a while, Li Zhibai and Yan Liang came out.
Zhou Ping'an grabbed them and said, "You don't want to get involved with Lu Yanhe again, people are hugging their thighs now, and they may not be willing to play with them." ”
Li Zhibai and Yan Liang were speechless.
When Lu Yanhe heard Zhou Ping'an's words, he silently pursed his mouth, because he didn't want to embarrass Li Zhibai and Yan Liang, so he didn't hear it.
Zhou Ping'an saw that Li Zhibai and Yan Liang didn't speak, and continued: "Don't think I'm sowing discord, you are all the same age, and all kinds of competition will be indispensable in the future." ”
Li Zhibai was very impatient when he heard this, and said: "Then what about me and Yan Liang and Chenghai are still the same age, we will also have competition in the future, shouldn't we go together?" ”
Li Zhibai's attitude towards Zhou Ping'an has never been very respectful, and Zhou Ping'an can't do anything about him.
Zhou Ping'an was scolded by him and said: "How is this the same, you are all artists brought by me, and you can support each other." ”
Li Zhibai said: "We can also do it with Lao Lu." ”
He snorted and waved his hand impatiently, "We still made an appointment in the evening and left." ”
He beckoned Yan Liang to leave.
Zhou Ping'an: "Who did you date?" ”
Li Zhibai: "Who do you still care about when we make an appointment?" ”
Zhou Ping'an: "......"
He was a little angry in his heart, but he really couldn't say it to Li Zhibai.
has a background at home, and he is popular, he doesn't rely on him Zhou Ping'an, what else can Zhou Ping'an say.
waited for someone to leave, and Cheng Hai came out.
Zhou Ping'an asked, "Do you know who they dated at night?" ”
Cheng Hai said: "Chen Biqiu. ”
Zhou Ping'an: "Chen Biqiu? So they didn't call you along? ”
Zhou Ping'an looked annoyed, "How can Li Zhibai be like this?" Can't tell the difference between near and far, or what? Lu Yanhe has changed agents, and he is still called, how can you not be called? ”
Cheng Hai glanced at him silently and said, "He called me, but it wasn't you who asked me to go to dinner with you tonight, so I didn't go with them." ”
Zhou Ping'an was stunned for a moment, and reacted, isn't it just to pick up Chenghai when he comes over now?
"......" Zhou Ping'an said again, "Then he didn't know to tell me earlier?!" Why didn't you know to call me?! ”
Cheng Hai didn't speak.
Speechless.
-
Li Zhibai drove and took Yan Liang and Lu Yanhe to the hotel.
"Zhou Ping'an's eyes are really smaller than the tip of a needle." Li Zhibai complained, "What kind of uncle is in front of me, damn, who I want to call whom, Chen Biqiu is calling me, not him." ”
Lu Yanhe: "Zhou Ping'an's small heart is not a day or two, so there is no need to be angry." ”
Li Zhibai: "A big man, with such a small heart, and sowing discord, is really disgusting." ”
Lu Yanhe and Yan Liang looked at each other and smiled.
They have lived under the same roof with Li Zhibai for three years, and they know that Li Zhibai is the most annoying to Zhou Ping'an.
When Lu Yanhe was still under Zhou Ping'an, Zhou Ping'an often said this kind of thing to them, don't get close to other people, they are all competitors, not friends, and so on.
Whenever they have a good relationship with someone, Zhou Ping'an will come out and emphasize the "competitor theory".
Lu Yanhe said: "Zhou Ping'an said these words, maybe he was afraid that you would not trust him and believe others. ”
"He didn't look at his own style, he was speechless, who could trust him." Li Zhibai said, "If it weren't for him being my agent from the beginning, I really didn't want to deal with him." ”
Lu Yanhe: "Bear with me now, it's hard to find a better agent than him in the company, and people don't necessarily want to accept it, they all work under the same company, and it's easy to offend people." ”
"Who's to say it's not, or I'd have left early." Li Zhibai complained.
After jumping out of the Fengzhi group, Lu Yanhe looked at a few of them and felt that Zhou Ping'an, the agent, was indeed unqualified.
Li Zhibai and Cheng Hai were all eating their old books, while Yan Liang, Tu Song and a few others slowly became obsolete and disappeared.
It's one thing that they don't have a performance stage, so can't they transform early?
Judging from the audition scene of "Golden Age", everyone is quite talented in acting, and I don't see him giving everyone the opportunity to contact acting.
It's all about recording programs and running commercial performances.
It's no wonder that everyone's popularity is getting lower and lower, and the popularity is getting lower and lower.
However, among the three people brought by Zhou Ping'an at present, Cheng Hai and Yan Liang have no background, and there is no channel to change agents, and the only one who has a way is Li Zhibai.
For Li Zhibai, it makes little difference whether he changes his agent or not.
The bottleneck for the further development of his acting career is that he is too lazy, not that his agent is not strong.
In terms of popularity alone, he is not low at all.
Otherwise, Chen Biqiu would not have taken the initiative to ask him out for dinner.
-
"Alas, Zhibai, I haven't seen you for a long time, I'm more handsome." As soon as Chen Biqiu met, he greeted Li Zhibai warmly and patted him on the shoulder.
This enthusiasm is like a friend to two people.
Lu Yanhe and Yan Liang knew that the two had a grudge at the beginning, because of Chen Biqiu's editing, Li Zhibai was chased and scolded by another artist's fans for a long time.
Li Zhibai saw that there was a woman in a white T-shirt beside Chen Biqiu, and looked at her more.
"Let me introduce you, Lee Jin-jin, the show's producer, just came back from South Korea." Chen Biqiu said, "I was my assistant director before, and when I came back this time, I was going to do a show, and I wanted to ask you to be a resident, so I asked me to pull the strings." ”
Li Zhibai looked at Li Zhenzhen, "Hello, Li PD." ”
Li Zhenzhen smiled and looked at Lu Yanhe and Yan Liang beside Li Zhibai.
"Lu Yanhe, Yan Liang, my two teammates, but our combination has been disbanded." Li Zhibai also introduced to them, "We live together, so we come to eat together." ”
Chen Biqiu looked at Lu Yanhe, smiled, and said, "I know, I took the pennant of righteousness and courage twice, the light of the mainstream, I heard that you were preparing for the college entrance examination, and we sent you an invitation to the program, but they were all rejected." ”
Lu Yanhe said: "Now that the exam is over, I have the opportunity to ask the two directors to take care of me." ”
Chen Biqiu nodded.
"My current agent is Chen Ziyan, if there is a job offer, please find her." Lu Yanhe said.
Chen Biqiu's eyes widened in surprise.
"You changed brokers? Isn't Zhou Ping'an anymore? ”
"Hmm." Lu Yanhe nodded and pointed at Li Zhibai and Yan Liang, "Their agent is still Zhou Ping'an, I changed my agent." ”
Chen Biqiu listened to Lu Yanhe's words and was surprised.
On the one hand, Chen Biqiu was surprised that Lu Yanhe had changed his agent, and on the other hand, he was surprised that Lu Yanhe's agent had changed to Chen Ziyan.
At first, he just thought the name was a little familiar, but he quickly reacted, isn't this the famous legendary agent?!
Chen Biqiu heard that Chen Ziyan came back to bring a newcomer, but he didn't know who it was.
Variety shows are based on the nature of instant income, and they will not be like the platform side, because they are optimistic about a certain artist, bet in advance, find this person to shoot several dramas and hoard them, and slowly go online, as long as one of them explodes, the other dramas will follow the blood.
Therefore, he didn't ask who the newcomer Chen Ziyan was bringing.
A few people exchanged pleasantries and sat down.
After some exchanges, Lu Yanhe realized that tonight's dinner was mainly for Li Zhenzhen's new show and Li Zhibai.
After figuring it out, Li Zhibai said: "Director Chen, of course I am very willing to join this show, but it is not up to me whether I can join a show or not, I still have to let Zhou Ping'an nod." ”
"On his side, of course I'll make him nod." Chen Biqiu said with a smile, "It's mainly you, Zhenzhen specially asked me to ask you out, just to talk to you face-to-face about the theme of this show, face-to-face communication, you also know that there are all kinds of program forms on the market now, all kinds of themes, everyone is hyping all kinds of concepts when preparing for the show, but whether a show is good or not, not just relying on a concept, or the show is good-looking, Zhenzhen has high expectations for this show, Every resident guest is also carefully selected by her, and you must see it with your own eyes and confirm your true character in private, rather than going back to make a character in the show. ”
Li Zhenzhen nodded and continued: "I hope that the artists and guests can show their true side in the show, the more real things, the easier it is to have effects, and fake things are always a little less interesting." ”
Li Zhibai looked at her curiously and asked, "Then what do you want to know about me?" ”
"It's not something that can be said in a few words, have you had a job in the last few days? If you're OK, I want to spend a few days with you and see what you look like on a regular basis, and only by getting to know your personality in depth will I know if you're suitable for our show. Li Zhenzhen said very seriously.
Li Zhibai is very popular now, and ordinary programs need to spend a lot of money if they want to invite him, Li Zhenzhen's new show is not a trump card program series, and he even has to judge whether he is suitable for this show, his first reaction is "Are you serious?" Li Zhenzhen's expression looked too pure, not that he looked down on him, or was prejudiced against him, revealing a pure stubbornness, Li Zhibai's disgust slowly retreated.
Li Zhibai said: "I have been off for the past two days and I have no work, you want to follow me, that is, watch me eat, drink and have fun with Lao Lu and Yan Liang." ”
"That's it." Li Zhenzhen nodded, "I originally wanted to see your truest appearance." ”
The director of a variety show is so serious, which makes Li Zhibai and others feel strange.
Chen Biqiu laughed and explained: "Zhenzhen she has always been such a real character, but she is very talented, many of my program copywriters are written by her, and there are countless praises, this time I went to South Korea to study and came back, she is ready to operate a variety show with the theme of young people living together and slow life, this type of program, there are actually a lot of them in China, but in fact, most of them are pseudo-slow variety, and there are still a lot of traditional variety shows in it, so I dare not really slow down." ”
Li Zhenzhen nodded and said: "I want to invite seven young people to participate in this show, live together, cohabitation life includes the allocation of rooms, the preparation of three meals a day, the usual leisure and entertainment, and chatting on various topics, in fact, I will also invite some friends to come to this show, participate in cohabitation life, through such social interaction, to explore the understanding of young people in life." ”
Listening to Li Zhenzhen's words, you can feel that she is a person who should be a little sensitive and careful in life.
To be precise, she even has some humanistic ideals in her for doing shows.
Chen Biqiu didn't seem to be hanging here.
He is a typical variety show director who shoots whatever the audience likes to watch.
Li Zhibai listened, scratched his head, and said, "Why do I think this show is quite literary and artistic?" I'm not in that style. ”
"The style of the whole show is a little bit of a slow variety show, with a humanistic and warm atmosphere, but in fact, I hope people of all kinds of personalities can have it." Li Zhenzhen said, "You can understand that the audience observes the lifestyle and attitude of young people through the cohabitation of seven young people, which is also a program for the audience to observe you." ”
Li Zhibai thought for a while and said, "I'm nothing, but Zhou Ping'an may not agree, right?" Every time I record a show, he must ask the program to provide a script, and I am absolutely not allowed to have any black material, I appear in this show, it should expose a lot of shortcomings, he definitely can't accept it. ”
"Can you accept that?" Li Zhenzhen suddenly asked.
Li Zhibai shrugged his shoulders, "I don't care, I don't like to be a perfect person." ”
Li Zhenzhen said: "Then the problem on your agent's side, let's overcome it together, okay?" ”
"Well, I don't know if I want to record this show yet." Li Zhibai said bluntly, "It doesn't sound like a good fit for me." ”
Li Zhenzhen looked at Lu Yanhe and Yan Liang, and suddenly asked, "Then you are living with these two, right?" ”
"Cohabitation? I...... Forget it, that is, live in a house, what to do with such disgusting words. Li Zhibai complained, "Aren't these all words used to describe the relationship between men and women?" ”
Li Zhenzhen laughed.
"That's not what I said, in fact, that's what this show means, but the people who live with you have been replaced by six other people." Li Zhenzhen said, "Your real character, frankly speaking, it is difficult to find in the entertainment industry now, many people put on an upright personality, in fact, it is rude, I don't want to find some artists I don't like to appear in this show, I hope this show can go on for a long time, make a variety show version of Friends, once a year, everyone has known each other through this show since they were young, and then witnessed each other's growth and development, including Yan Liang and Lu Yanhe, as your good friends, they can also participate in the recording of the show." The key is that you are willing to spend so much time trying a new program model? ”
Li Zhibai took a deep breath.
"You're stressing me out? Then I don't want to go back and don't want to record this show, I have to be tied to this show, right? ”
"If there is a gathering, there will be a dispersion, I just put forward a kind of vision of this show, if you want to leave later, of course you can." Lee Jinzhen said, "In many well-established and well-known series, there is no shortage of resident guests leaving in a certain season, and I don't want to see such a thing happen, but there is such a day, of course I hope to get together and disperse, in fact, you don't need to worry about these things, we are only talking about the first season." ”
Li Zhibai said: "I want to think about it, and I'll be honest, the theme of this show doesn't appeal to me very much, and I find it troublesome to live with a group of strangers." ”
Li Zhenzhen and Chen Biqiu glanced at each other.
Neither of them continued to persuade.
After dinner, they said goodbye to Li Zhenzhen and Chen Biqiu.
-
After saying goodbye, Li Zhenzhen and Chen Biqiu did not leave directly, but went to a nearby Qing bar.
"Li Zhibai doesn't seem to be very interested." Chen Biqiu said, "What do you think? ”
Li Zhenzhen pondered for a moment and said: "I like Li Zhibai's character very much, I still hope to be able to make him a resident guest, but I really can't invite him, and I have no choice but to look at other people." ”
Chen Biqiu: "At first, I thought he would not be happy to be observed by you for a few days, he has a big temper, and you also know that he has a good family background, no shortage of resources, and high popularity, a little proud of himself, he doesn't buy other people's accounts much, don't look at him Zhou Ping'an is in charge, in fact, he is not willing to do the work, Zhou Ping'an can't force him." ”
"It's such a character that I feel that there is a need for such a person in the show." Li Zhenzhen said, "Brother Qiu, you know, the production budget of this kind of show is not high, and I don't have to make a popular show, I am just very interested in such a theme, and I have always wanted to do such a show, but if the guests don't make me want to shoot, I can't put 100% passion into this show." ”
"You have to remember that you are just a director of a variety show, not an author-type director, even if you are an author-type director, you still have to be responsible for the investor." Chen Biqiu persuaded, "If the show is really not popular and does not accumulate a certain number of fans, it will definitely not be able to be serialized, for you, Li Zhibai is an artist with a very suitable personality, but for me, he is a popular artist paid by investors, brands and platforms. ”
Li Zhenzhen nodded, "I know." ”
Chen Biqiu: "At present, among the seven guests you are going to invite, Li Zhibai's popularity is ranked first, if he can't be invited, you must invite someone who is comparable to his popularity, otherwise, your show may not be able to start filming." ”
"But if the guests are not suitable, no matter how popular they are, the show will have no effect and no chemical reaction."
"I trust your judgment, but you have to know that if there are no popular artists, your show can't be filmed, what kind of effect and chemistry can you talk about?" Chen Biqiu said.
Li Zhenzhen was silent.
Chen Biqiu: "Didn't Li Zhibai refuse you to follow him and observe him these days?" You contact him, first follow him to observe, his stinky temper, and he has no culture, you talk to him about ideals, talk about program understanding, he may not understand, it is better to play the emotional card, let him be familiar with you, and then embarrassed to refuse. ”
Li Zhenzhen: "......"
She really didn't like to use that tactic.
But Chen Biqiu is her leader in the variety show industry, and she has always trusted him.
If he hadn't matched her and given her the show as a producer, she wouldn't have gotten the green light to prepare for this show.
Do you really want to do that?
Li Zhenzhen was entangled.
-
"Li Zhenzhen doesn't look like a variety show director, but like a college student who has just graduated."
On this side, Li Zhibai also commented on Li Zhenzhen.
"I only see such a strong idealism in those female college students who have just graduated, and it is the first time someone has talked to me about the show, talking about so many ideas and themes." Li Zhibai said, "Others are boasting to me about how much investment this show has, how much attention the platform has, how much investment resources will be injected, how luxurious the guest lineup of this show is, and how popular it will be after the broadcast. ”
Lu Yanhe and Yan Liang laughed at the same time.
"But I think this show is quite interesting, it's not hard, and it's easy to make money." Yan Liang said.
Li Zhibai's sentence "I'm not short of money" was just about to come out of his throat, and he swallowed it back.
"Alas, the main reason is that this show sounds a little weird and dangerous, I'm usually lazy and irritable, recording this kind of show is too revealing of my nature, and I guess I'm going to be chased and scolded on the Internet." He himself was worried.
"You just said that you can accept exposing your shortcomings in the show."
"How can I admit it in front of them?" Li Zhibai confidently admitted that he had lied just now, "She is also interesting, who wants to expose her shortcomings." ”
He thought of something, and said, "If I record such a show with a few of you, then I should be a little more willing to record with some strangers?" I'm not interested. ”
As soon as he finished speaking, his mobile phone suddenly rang.
"Yo, it's Li Zhenzhen."
They also exchanged contact information with each other just now.
Li Zhibai answered the phone.
"Li PD, is there anything else?"
Li Zhenzhen said: "Zhibai, or I will come over tomorrow, let's try to contact for a few days, I will observe the real appearance of your life, and you can also understand me more?" I'm very sincere in asking you to record this show, no matter what you decide in the end, let's get acquainted with each other first, do you think it's okay? ”
Li Zhibai subconsciously frowned and wanted to refuse.
But the words were so earnest, he was really embarrassed to say no.
"Uh, that's okay, right? But I don't really know much about it, I'm just a very lazy person. ”
Li Zhenzhen: "Look, you are the only person I know who dares to admit that you are a lazy person to the person you meet for the first time." ”
Li Zhibai reacted for a while to the relationship between "people and people".
"Okay, then you can come if you want."
hung up the phone, Li Zhibai was very strange.
"I told her I didn't want to record it, why is she still pestering me?"
-
High popularity is the killer feature of artists.
An artist is popular, no matter where he goes, he seems to carry a "pass".
Li Zhibai received all kinds of warm and preferential treatment, and Lu Yanhe and Yan Liang were used to it.
In fact, they also got a lot of light.
Just like this time, I met Chen Biqiu and Li Zhenzhen, and also added their contact information.
Li Zhibai was sought after by them to invite them to their show, and Lu Yanhe and Yan Liang were not so popular, so they suffered a "cold reception", which is really a normal thing.
Lu Yanhe and Yan Liang are used to it and understand this matter.
Lu Yanhe was about to move out, but Li Zhibai said: "Since that Li Zhenzhen wants to observe the real appearance of my life, don't leave for the next two days, you have to leave, I have to adapt to the living environment in which you go." ”
Lu Yanhe was speechless and said, "I'm leaving, what can affect you?" Still need you to adapt? ”
Li Zhibai sighed and said, "This is enough to be unconscionable, I have been your eldest brother for three years, and I usually take care of you more." ”
Lu Yanhe and Yan Liang snorted at the same time.
