I didn't want to be an actor

Chapter 544 Choose a Variety Show (23)

"Skyline Studios? What the hell?"

Chen Jiadong explained: "Another studio besides Tianxiang and Tianma..."

By the way, here’s a piece of scientific knowledge: the earliest variety show studio within Tencent Video was only Tianxiang Studio, and later it was separated into Tianma Studio, which also belongs to the UnScripted content production department under Tencent PCG.

The general manager of Tianxiang Studio is Qiu Yue, who is mainly responsible for talent shows and competitive fast-paced variety shows. His representative works include "Creation 101", "The Next Generation of Stars", "Actors Please Take Your Place", "Talk Show Conference + Tucao Conference", etc. He also operates Tencent Sports' "Supernova Games".

The director of Tianma Studio is Li Xiao, who is mainly responsible for the slow-paced variety shows of the healing genre, "Unforgettable Restaurant", "We Grow Up", "We Are Real Friends + Happiness Trio", and "Signal of Heart"...

Skyline Studio is the first studio of Tengxun under the general director system. The director is Chi Yuan (from Jiangsu Satellite TV, representative works include "Let's Fall in Love" and "Infinite Song Season"), and the first project it operated was the "Meet You in Parallel Time and Space" which received mixed reviews...

Why set up so many studios?
When you recruit someone, you must entrust him with important tasks.

It is normal to imitate Mango TV’s studio system and set up a studio for others!
Later, we stopped poaching people and just cooperated...

Separation of production and broadcasting in the true sense.

"They are working with Xie Dikui to create a slow variety show... It's called "Fifty Kilometers of Taohuawu"!"

"and then?"

"Invite 15 celebrities to live together in Taohuawu, 50 kilometers away from the city, for 21 days..."

"You sent me an invitation?"

"Um…"

Shen Liang was speechless: "What do you think? I just want to be on a variety show, not to be a permanent guest... Besides, I don't have time to be a permanent guest!"

"Fifty Kilometers of Taohuawu"...

Forget it. Shen Liang doesn't have the time or the desire to chat and laugh with such a stranger...

Well, Brother Liang’s mentality is indeed different from before!

"Then...there aren't many options."

"Talk about it!"

"Running Man, Go Fighting, and Happy Camp..."

Shen Liang was surprised: "'Big Camp' hasn't stopped broadcasting yet?"

Chen Jiadong was even more surprised: "Why did you stop broadcasting?"

"Isn't it the Clean Movement? "Base Camp" received all kinds of gifts from fans. Wasn't it cleaned up?"

“…Maybe it hasn’t exploded yet, but it will soon!”

"You got the inside scoop?"

"Well," Chen Jiadong whispered, "Internal fighting at Mango TV..."

“…So intense?”

"The main reason is that the profitability of "Base Camp" is worrying..."

"No way?"

Chen Jiadong explained: "It's no longer possible to attract investment from TV platforms!"

According to media reports, starting in 2018, satellite TV investment dropped sharply, and 90% of resources flowed to Internet video platforms...

Taking "Big Camp" as an example, in 2018, its investment amount has shrunk to 2.21 million yuan, a decrease of 1.7 million yuan compared with the previous year.

In 2019, it rebounded to 2.8 million...

But the investment in the top variety shows of the three major platforms is over 500 million!

Can't make money...

You should know that during the peak period of "Big Camp", advertising sales exceeded 8 million yuan a year.

Shen Liang thought for a moment, then replied: "...I'll ask Nini which variety show she wants to be on..."

"…Um."

……

Shen Liang is not in a hurry to promote "Life Events"...

He knew the nature of this year's summer movie season - except for "Chinese Doctor" which grossed over 1 billion, oh, and "Raging Fire", the others were quite embarrassing... In addition to the objective factors of the overall environment, the content of the films during the entire schedule was difficult to generate a certain level of topicality.

Only "Raging Fire" was recognized by everyone for its solid story and action drama.

Movies like "White Snake 2" and "Chinese Doctor" were criticized for their plots.

"Raging Fire" is gone...

Shen Liang was quite worried about the box office of "Zhou Chu Eliminates Three Evils" before - facts have proved that good movies can stimulate the audience's desire to watch!
"Life Events" is definitely a good movie!

There is no reason why it shouldn't be popular among the public.

In fact, the main cast of "Life Events" is Shen Liang, Yang Enyou, Wei Daxun, Jiao Junyan, and Nini is just a friendly support...

But who makes her the most famous?
After "Want to See You" and "Shock Wave 2", her popularity has been increasing.

The docking resources have also begun to upgrade...

"Night Traveler" is the top S+ series of iQiyi, produced by Modbox Films and the producer of the kung fu drama "River God"!
By the way, the ratings of "The Golden Years" were average, and the online broadcast volume was even worse, so much so that Liu Shishi half-gave up on promoting it halfway through the broadcast...

Liu Shishi’s current situation is actually not much better than her idol’s, and she is in urgent need of a hit movie…

Ahem...

Nini was quite happy when she received Shen Liang's call. She told him her room number directly. Shen Liang explained, "I'm back in BJ. I plan to rest at home for a few days..."

"Then why are you looking for me?"

“…‘Life Events’ will be released at the end of the month, let’s pick a variety show to promote it!”

"Okay, let's go to "Longing for Life"!"

“…again?”

"Is it not possible? We met on that variety show!"

"Okay... Then I'll ask Teacher He if there's a suitable opportunity to cut in."

After a pause, Shen Liang changed the subject: "I heard that many men are pursuing you recently?"

"Who did you listen to?"

"I'm just concerned..."

"You don't love me, why do you care about me?"

"... As for friends, I won't talk about that anymore. I'll call Teacher He..."

Hearing the word "love", Shen Liang immediately retreated...

In fact, female stars like Nini have very few options for communication partners. Although there is no shortage of suitors, they are either old men with big bellies, or some greasy male artists, and some are young male idols...

The greasy male artist has a similar purpose to Shen Liang, which is to have a hit for the purpose of artistic exchange!
I don’t want to get into a relationship…

It’s even simpler for young male idols, they just live off their boyfriends!

As long as female stars in Hong Kong are famous and good-looking, they can get a ticket to high society. They themselves are also waiting for a good price, hoping to marry into a wealthy family.

They marry into wealthy families when they are at the peak of their careers and give up their careers. Marrying into a wealthy family is like "jumping over a dragon gate", stepping from the common people society in which they live into the unattainable upper society, which is a huge change in social status.

The situation in the mainland is different. If she is a female star, she must first be a financially independent woman.

If you have money, you have status!
Then, the chances of them meeting good men are also very small - the men in the entertainment industry are pretty bad, either illiterate or prostitutes...

The people they love are often not as good as themselves.

That’s why Shen Liang can discuss art with many female stars so easily…

His conditions are too good, both the hardware and software are top-notch, and the key is the upstream of the industrial chain...

Ahem...

Shen Liang contacted Teacher He, who was quite surprised and repeatedly confirmed: "Are you going to come to "Longing for Life"?"

"Yeah, is there a problem?"

"I haven't been doing well lately..."

"…It's nothing. I'm often bullied online. Do you want me to share my experience with you?"
