my wife is a showman

Chapter 73 Is He Worth 3000

In the box, I'm already drinking.

Mr. Chen, Zhang Guozheng, and a bald man sitting in the host seat, about 50 years old, tall and burly, with dark skin, wearing a string of sandalwood beads on his right wrist.

Accompanied by him was Chen Ge, who kept silent and waited on him.

Seeing everyone coming in, the man stood up quickly and smiled with a row of big black teeth:

"Oh, the big star has arrived, and Peng Pi is shining brightly. Come on, come on, Chen Ge, please change places with Teacher Ma Ke."

"Oh……"

"No, no, Mr. Hu, I don't know how to drink." After Ma Ke finished speaking, he quickly sat next to his uncle.

"The big star doesn't give face." Mr. Hu was a little displeased.

Chen Ge is beautiful, but compared to a star of Ma Ke's level, his temperament is still incomparable.

"Old Hu, you have a beautiful woman by your side, so what's the matter?" Mr. Chen said with a smile.

Xu Lang sat next to Ma Ke's manager, and Zhao Xiaoyang sat on his right, expressionless, sighing helplessly, and poured himself a glass of juice. This kind of drinking was quite disgusting.

"How do you drink juice, little beauty?" Mr. Hu pointed to Zhao Xiaoyang and asked.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Hu, I'm a manager and I have to take care of everyone." Zhao Xiaoyang smiled.

"Whose agent is this?"

"He." Zhao Xiaoyang pointed at Xu Lang.

"This... Who is this, also an actor?" Mr. Hu asked Xu Lang while glaring at him.

"It's also the guest performer of this show." Mr. Chen said.

Zhang Guozheng obviously didn't like this kind of occasion, so he ate in silence. This time he also came to accompany him.

"Old Chen, just now you said that the show is full of big stars, isn't it all true? Tomorrow, let Chen Ge do an internship, and sign her as an actor's apprentice for the next season. There is absolutely no problem with the advertisement."

"If she can come on stage, even if it is a small fire, I will invest another 5000 million in advertising next season. We just raised 20 billion in the stock market. Next year's sales target is 60 billion, and the marketing budget is as high as 40 billion. I don't have to worry about running out of money." flower."

"Then it's agreed, Ma Ke, will you take Chen Ge with you tomorrow?" Mr. Chen asked.

"No problem, Mr. Hu's people will definitely take care of him." Ma Ke smiled.

"Old Chen is still interesting, come on, let's go."

Everyone accompanied Mr. Hu to drink a glass of juice that Xu Lang and Ma Kai drank.

"You two little brothers, playing big names, why do you drink juice like a woman? The liquor that all three of us drink, especially you, what's your name?"

"Xu Lang."

"What is your worth now?"

"It's pretty cheap." Xu Lang said with a smile.

"It's cheap to learn from other handsome guys. EQ is too low. Do you know what my worth is, tens of billions. Pour white wine, don't save money for me, I have tens of thousands of bottles of Moutai hidden in the basement of my house, not enough to get them." Mr. Hu Waving his hand, he was very heroic.

"Old Hu, what are you doing? They have to rehearse the show tomorrow and record it tomorrow night." Mr. Chen said.

"That's right, boss, the show is a big deal." Zhang Guozheng said.

"Isn't that tomorrow night? I don't want him to drink too much. He'll be fine after a night's sleep. Variety shows are just for fun. The audience knows what the hell, it's just like the real thing."

Xu Lang could only change into white wine and took a sip.

"Done."

"Sorry, I really don't know how to drink." Xu Lang said with a smile.

"Don't spoil the fun, let me do it!" Boss Hu roared.

A young actor dared to refute his respect.

"Brother Hu, forget it, he doesn't know how to drink."

Chen Ge persuaded Mr. Hu by pulling his arm.

She had good intentions and wanted to save face for Xu Lang, so she said something casually.

But she was young and just came out of the society, so she didn't know that she had to be careful when speaking at the wine table. Some of her drank too much and liked to go crazy with alcohol.

This sentence has aroused Hu Tuhao's anger.

"You know him?" President Hu stared at her and asked.

"The classmate who took the art test together, he is also an actor in the crew, so give me some face." Chen Ge said sweetly.

"Where... which crew?"

Chen Ge finally realized that he had implicated Xu Lang and stopped talking.

Ma Ke didn't say anything either. Originally, she wanted to take this opportunity to finalize the advertisement, so that her status in the crew would be improved. Who knew that the surname Hu was such a thing.

This Mr. Hu is an old man in the world, and he could guess it by looking at Ma Ke's expression.

Xu Lang stood up quickly.

"Okay, I'll do it, Mr. Hu calm down."

Mr. Hu didn't appease his anger and didn't even look at him. He grabbed Chen Ge's arm and lifted it up, asking, "Which crew?"

Chen Gecai was a little scared, but he remained silent.

"Doctor intern." Xu Lang replied.

"Yo, what a coincidence."

Mr. Hu let go of Chen Ge's hand, sat down and drank a cup.

Ma Kai clenched his fists tightly, wishing he could step forward and punch this old thing a few times, but the other party was rich and powerful, and he didn't know where he came from, and he didn't dare to offend anyone, so he took out his mobile phone and swiped.

The atmosphere was a bit tense, Commander Chen toasted, and Mr. Hu just drank and stopped talking.

Ma Ke saw that something was wrong with the situation and worried that not only had he failed to get it done, but he had also lost his advertising money.

The scenes of this show are basically in the hospital, and it is very difficult to place advertisements. There are also strict regulations on medical advertisements. Sponsorship is not as easy as Director Zhao said.

"Mr. Hu, shall I offer you a toast?"

"You drink juice, don't count."

Mr. Hu waved his hand and knocked on the cigar box. Chen Ge quickly cut one, lit it and handed it to him.

When it comes to the status of capital in the film and television industry, we must talk about our industry ecology.

The healthiest way to make money for film and television dramas is to sell works. Movies rely on box office, and TV dramas rely on audience payments.

For example, world-class platforms such as HBO and Netflix are like this. Almost all of their annual revenue of tens of billions of dollars comes from subscriptions, and they dare to invest hundreds of millions to produce high-quality works.

Advertising is nothing but additional profit, which can be obtained through normal investment promotion without affecting the quality.

Only in this way, the creators will pay attention to the quality, have a strong waist, and don't have to be shy to laugh with the wine.

But what we have now is,
Investors and sponsors either want to get multiple returns, or they want to sleep with actresses. They don't love the industry itself.

And creators and stars, without artistic pursuits and innovation motivation, can only make money like crazy.

If you want to get high remuneration, you have to create high profits, and you can't wait to get the money back before it is released.

As for the audience, they would rather watch pirated versions than pay for it, and pay TV stations simply cannot do it.

The three major video sites are working hard to cultivate users' paying habits, but together, they lose tens of billions of dollars every year. How can they survive without feeding shit.

In the end, the audience scolded the practitioners for making bad films, and the practitioners felt that the audience was not good.

If you don't find sponsors, it's hard to get back the money, and the investment in film and television is a high risk.

A big boss once sent a spiritual torture: "Why would you rather endure a 20-second advertisement than pay a [-] yuan membership fee?"

Audience: "It's just to pass the time. What kind of crap are you filming? You can watch it for free. Why pay for it?"

The big guy backhanded a few mobile games and made tens of billions.

"Ma Ke, let me tell you investors, I won't vote in the advertisement, and I won't go to the China Merchants Fair, let alone 3000 to [-] million, not a dime." Mr. Hu said.

"Boss Hu, you're talking out of anger." Ma Ke said with a smile.

"It's really not angry, unless..." Mr. Hu pointed at Xu Lang with a cigar in his hand, and said, "Tell him to go, add drama to Chen Ge, the kind that has to appear in every episode."
