The King of Variety Entertainment

It's another new day. Yang An looked at the thick stack of letters of intent and contracts in front of him. The signature columns were all on major TV programs, and even appeared frequently in the CCTV Spring Festival Gala. The famous artists who are well-known to everyone, he was full of enthusiasm. A sense of accomplishment.

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

Yang An has inquired through various channels that there are no more than 100 pantomime performers nationwide, and no more than five pantomime performers that he can catch his eye. Although Zhou Jinci is not the best pantomime actor in the country, he His own growth experience is particularly inspirational, and this kind of positive energy is a great hype point!

Moreover, Yang An really wanted to help Zhou Jinci become famous, at least to help him financially, and he planned to visit again one last time, either to convince him to join or to give up.

This time, Yang An still asked Xiaoying. The little girl had realized that she and Yang An had just had a misunderstanding. Although she felt uncomfortable, she still gave Yang An an address, the Hongcheng shopping mall in the city center.

What can Zhou Jinci do in Hongcheng shopping mall? Xiaoying didn't say anything, she just said that she went and saw it.

Yang An arrived soon after taking the subway, walked up the overpass, and saw a clown with heavy makeup under a bundle of colorful balloons among the bustling crowd, distributing leaflets and giving gifts, surrounded by a few children and occasionally adults Standing far away, stop to watch the fun.

Yang An was sure that this clown was played by Zhou Jinci.

Hongcheng shopping mall is doing promotion for the big Christmas promotion a month later. The clown Zhou Jinci can't speak, his face is smeared with colorful oil paint, he always keeps smiling, and uses exaggerated body language from time to time to attract the attention of passers-by.

Yang An stood at the end of the overpass, looking down at all this. When more and more passers-by stopped and stopped, the clown stuffed the promotional cards and leaflets into the backpack behind his back, looked left and right, and pointed to the big window of the mall exhibition hall. The cleaner who wiped the glass before.

At this moment, there is no music, no applause, no cameras, only the audience curiously looking at the clown, and more passers-by who keep their eyes on the road in a hurry.

The clown suddenly opened his arms, imitating the action of the cleaner holding the cleaning squeegee, grabbed a piece of emptiness squeegee, and hit it on the empty glass window.

Then, he dragged the nothingness scraper vigorously, from left to right, scraped a nothingness watermark trace in the void, the movement was very steady, the trajectory was straight, without any deflection, just like moving on real glass .

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

The cleaner five meters in front of him had no idea and was still doing his own cleaning.

But his movements are exactly the same as those of the cleaner. Even when the cleaner raised his arm to wipe the sweat off his forehead, the clown imitated it, as if he was the shadow of the cleaner.

Everyone found this out and all laughed.

Hahahaha... so amazing! Is he doing an imitation show?

It was so much fun!

Mom, look, look, that clown is so fun~

Awesome, is this a performance art performance? It should look difficult!

The children laughed and exclaimed, and the passers-by who watched were also quite amazed, and they all took out their mobile phones to take pictures and videos.

After the clown cleaned one window of nothingness, he started to clean the next one. The cleaning work was very hard.

All the audience can see the truth, there is no window glass here.

But at this moment, it seems that there is such a real glass in everyone's heart, which is being cleaned by the clown.

This is the charm of art!

Watching Zhou Jinci perform so hard, Yang An suddenly felt his nose ache.

He thought of the two seasons of Happy Comedian he had seen, both seasons had pantomime performances, but the contestants in both seasons were eliminated early and left with regret.

Thinking of Zhou Jinci's almost stubborn refusal,

Yang Anwei sighed and walked down the bridge.

After playing for a while, the clown turned around and spread his hands with the laughing children, signaling that he still had to work. The children gave the clown brother the warmest applause. Passers-by put away their mobile phones and left. Returning to reality, the colorful artistic soap bubbles burst instantly.

Yang An took a promotional card and did not walk away. He stood in front of the clown and bowed slowly.

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

Yang An stuffed a business card into the clown's pocket, patted it lightly, turned and left, walked two steps and then turned back and said: Art should not be alone!

Seeing Yang An leave, the smile on Zhou Jinci's face gradually faded, his heart was turbulent, and he couldn't calm down for a long time. In fact, he was more eager to be recognized and expected to succeed than anyone else in the world.

Happy comedians... The top comedy teams in China fight against each other... But they all have screenwriters, directors, and assistant actors, and I am just one person, one person! Can I be liked by the audience? Can I compete with those big names? Are the comedians on par? Can I make it through the first round?

Zhou Jinci was extremely contradictory, and was suddenly awakened by a roar behind him. It was an angry store manager. When he came back to his senses, his face instantly turned into a smile.

...

The crew of Happy Comedian is getting ready. Song Xiaomei and Rong Feifei went to Blue Ocean ahead of time. There is a four-star hotel owned 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. She will compete in future performances. The hotel will be responsible for the players' transportation, accommodation and food, which is considered a benefit promised by Blue Ocean TV.

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

When I was working on the Jianghu Joke Talk program, the sponsor system was in a mess. Before Yang An took over, it would be nice if some merchants were willing to invest money. Red Maple TV even planned to sell the naming rights for 1.8 million a year!

Now after Yao Ning, a veteran in the industry, Yang An knows that a program has many sponsors, many different time periods, and different locations, which can be subdivided into three levels, and each level has different sponsors. The number of advertisements and different price points allow the producer to make as much money as possible without affecting the mood of the audience.

Yang An is not opposed to making money, on the contrary, he is very willing to do it. The more money he earns, the higher the notice fee he can pay. Grassroots artists like Zhou Jinci who are fighting alone, like Zhou Jinci. For the declining cross talk artists, Yang An didn't mind raising their treatment.

Boss Niu's liquor factory won and won the highest level of naming rights, that is, Welcome to watch Happy Comedian broadcast under the title of Gujinjiu, as well as an advertisement of about ten seconds at critical moments, and a season of naming rights The fee is 45 million.

In Yang An's opinion, this price was beyond his imagination, but Yao Ning scoffed at it.

Yao Ning said: Director Yang, I want to tell you something about the TV industry as a friend. Let's talk about Jianghu Joke. I heard that it is only 5 million a year? This price is on Blue Ocean TV, which is a 0.55% The naming fee for programs with ratings. If Jianghu Joke with a ratings of 1.35% is placed on Blue Ocean Satellite TV, the naming fee will be in the nine figures.

Can break 100 million! ?

Yang An really never thought that there would be such a big gap between them, but after thinking about it, what was his identity and qualifications when he was doing Jiang Tan?

At that time, he couldn't afford to say anything. He was already very satisfied if he could get 5 million from Mu Hei Ya, plus 2% of the online store's profit. ratings, a 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, and fast-moving clothing. The advertising fee of tens of millions is too expensive, if it wasn't for Mr. Niu's signing of Gujinjiu, maybe this season's comedians would start broadcasting naked.

Yao Ning smiled coquettishly, and said, Who made your Enron Film and Television Entertainment Company too famous? If our Blue Ocean Satellite TV were to lead, 45 million could only be a special sponsor, and the exclusive title must be 88 million a season, which is still the starting price. !

Yang An clicked his tongue: Sister Ning, with your help, I have already got enough. The exclusive title of Gujin Wine is 45 million, and the designated products Strongman Yogurt and Red Bull Energy Drink are each 16.8 million. People's clothing, hairstyles, and online apps, although the total amount is not over 100 million, but this is far beyond my imagination!

Yao Ning sneered, Look at your talent, the allocation to Blue Ocean Satellite TV is less than 20 million. This is a prime-time program on Thursday night. Do you know what that means?

Yang An immediately begged for mercy: Sister Ning, don't say anything, don't hit me! I promise to do a good job with the show. This year we will first make a name for ourselves in the first season, and I will put it on Blue Ocean Satellite TV in the second season next year. How about you take charge of attracting business yourself?

Yao Ning gave him a blank look: It's not too bad!

Blue Ocean Satellite TV has calculated an account, withdrawing the prime time on Thursday, and introducing an independent project. The loss on the book is about 30 million, but snatching Yang An means that the competitor loses Yang An. It has to be counted separately, and as long as Yang An can produce a variety show with an audience rating 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 of this season break 1.3%, she can get back at least 200 million in the second season!

With the money, Yang An can spend a lot of money. The first batch sent six photographers and six assistants to the locations of the six groups of contestants to follow the artists' preparations and collect various tidbits.

Yao Ning said: There is one last thing to do now, 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 twitching these days?

Yao Ning snorted, revealing his arrogance: Anyone who wants to disturb the situation will just make trouble with our Blue Ocean Satellite TV!

PS: In this chapter, I am a bit entangled in writing. Mimes do not please the audience. I myself prefer (shit) common (urine) vulgar (fart) jokes, especially some heavy-duty jokes, because they are not brain-deep, listen It's cool, it looks very relaxed and happy. But deep down, I still want to maintain enough respect for many artistic situations, such as the mime performances of comedy master Chaplin. Don't forget, Shen Teng, the comedian champion in the first season, was mostly sketches, but he also did a mime performance, which was a tribute to the classic Chaplin.

Although we are in a fast-paced world full of material desires, we can't change anything, but we only want to keep a little pure space deep in our hearts.
