Chapter 84 Explosion

Chapter 84 Explosion
"Come on, come on! Everybody come over here."

In a set built in the TV station's studio, Zhang Chen clapped his hands and called together the extras who had arrived today.

Jiang Rong also changed into a white dress, and those who gathered there included Aunt Luo from Zhang Chen's Rising Star Promotion Team, the uncle called "Boss Zeng", Aunt Zhang, and a group of others.

"Boss Zeng" is not a real boss. It is said that he traveled all over the country when he was young and had been to Guangzhou. At most, he had a suitcase full of cash. In that era when a millionaire with an annual income of 10,000 yuan was still rare, he used a suitcase full of tens of thousands of yuan to keep a secretary.

Of course, when this uncle "Boss Zeng" was promoting Zhang Chen, he signed hundreds of signatures. He was eloquent and meticulous. When he finally took the money, he gave Zhang Chen a 50-cent discount. Zhang Chen had a deep memory of this.

At this time, "Boss Zeng" put on a suit and looked respectable. Perhaps it was true as he said, he had rich experience when he was young. Now he wore a big gold "Rolex" watch bought in Yanshikou, and dressed in a suit and tie, looking like a truly successful boss.

At this moment, the filming director team headed by Wei Nanchun was watching happily nearby. Wang Bowen sat on a stool outside the studio set, hidden in the shadows, and the stage was given to Zhang Chen. All the TV station staff had various wonderful expressions on their faces as they watched this stage.

Zhang Chen clapped his hands, gathered the group, and instructed Boss Zeng: "Have you memorized the lines? Remember, you are the poor boy that your daughter is rushing to marry in this family. You came all the way here because you are so angry."

He then said to Aunt Luo and another old man Wang who played her husband, "Your family mainly felt that the girl was from another place and wanted to marry into the family, so you couldn't bear to part with your son, so you had to break them up and let your son date a local civil servant. The girl just wanted to show off her love for him!"

The person who plays the couple with Jiang Rong is Zhang Jun, who joined the team after applying for the job at the same time as her. Zhang Jun was originally assisting the lightning sloth Song Xiu with logistical data, but now he is temporarily brought here to be an extra. The host is Chen Hua, who also just graduated from the Broadcasting and Hosting Department. Wang Bowen has moved to the backstage, so Chen Hua has taken over as the host.

Aunt Luo spoke in a loud voice: "Then I'll just be a wicked mother-in-law. I just don't want my son to go to Guangzhou and become someone else's son, right!"

"Yes!" Zhang Chen nodded, and then said to Zhang Jun: "Your personality is that of a mama's boy. Everything is said by my mom, my mom said."

Zhang Chen told Jiang Rong: "You are particularly annoyed by this point about him, so you often quarrel, but you still decided to rush over for love and want to keep him. So you came to this mediation program and let's talk about it together."

"And you," Zhang Chen looked at "Boss Zeng," "You came to Guangzhou and gave up a business worth hundreds of thousands of dollars. You must be very unhappy. You just wanted to see which family dared to look down on their daughter! But... "

“What’s the result…” Many people were brought in temporarily, and the script was only sent to the main extras. Although it was a rehearsal on site, everyone’s sense of substitution had already been aroused, and everyone pricked up their ears.

"As a result, you found out that Aunt Luo was actually your first love! You had an unforgettable love, but later on, there were family feuds and disputes, and you parted ways. You went to the south, married your boss's daughter, and inherited your father-in-law's family business, which led to your success. And you have vaguely heard some rumors about your first love over the years, saying that she was pregnant at the time, and you couldn't let her go. You also looked for her, but she had changed her name, so naturally you couldn't find her!"

All the people were trapped.

Aunt Luo pointed at Zhang Jun next to her and said, "So... my son is Boss Zeng's..."

"That's right!" Zhang Chen nodded, and pointed at Old Man Wang who was working with Aunt Luo. "You've actually known this all along, but you pretended not to know and raised someone else's son as if he were your own. But there's always been a knot in your heart. It's because of Boss Zeng. You want to know, if it happened again, would Aunt Luo choose you or Boss Zeng?"

Old man Wang glared at Boss Zeng and immediately put himself in the role.

This plot.

burst.

On that day in 2000, everyone in the studio was shocked.

Jiang Rong was dumbfounded. She thought that she was a rich girl who fell in love with a phoenix mama's boy and tore apart her mother-in-law's family, but it turned out that her mother-in-law had an affair with her father, and she and her boyfriend who she was about to marry became brother and sister.

This is because in this era, we can’t play too abstract. Zhang Chen suppressed the plot, otherwise he could have made a more brain-burning plot that his father is not his father, and his future father-in-law is his father. In the past, Zhang Chen commented on this kind of plot: "I am a local dog, I love to watch it!"

"Are you sure this is okay? Will anyone come to trouble us?" Director Wei Nanchun has been working at the TV station for many years, and he can sense some problems. Nowadays, TV stations have a lot of influence, and if this kind of plot is released, it may really go viral, but there will probably be countless letters flooding the TV station's petition room, and the reaction will inevitably be extremely intense.

"Of course, we have to make it clear in advance that this is just a reality show for emotional mediation. What is a reality show? It is an interpretation based on the plot. We can add a note: for various reasons, the parties involved are not convenient to come forward, so the plot is performed by temporary actors."

In the millennium, if there was a program that could universally spark public opinion and bring in ratings, then this kind of program that delves into real life plots and often exaggerates family affairs is definitely a guarantee of ratings.

What is highbrow and what is lowbrow? Highbrow does not have the conditions at all now. This is the situation Wang Bowen is facing now. He has insufficient production funds and nothing, but he still needs to rely on a show to increase ratings and make a name for himself.

That's all for now.

There is no soil for singers and rural life shows now. Singers don’t have the money, and variety shows can’t be put on. As for rural life shows, most people have only lived in concrete houses for a few years, and have not lived in modern life for a long time. Who would miss the days of rural houses? Who would really watch such shows?
To put it bluntly, what everyone wants to see now is something that is more down-to-earth and popular.

Of course, this kind of thing is never out of date. Zhang Chen comes from an information explosion society that is accustomed to these so-called emotional mediation programs and knows all the tricks. The ratings of this kind of program are guaranteed in the future, and it even developed into live broadcast, supporting a large number of anchors.

Until later generations, it remained the main guarantee of ratings and source of profits for some local TV stations.

After all, it is human nature to watch, and everyone is willing to move a stool and watch the show.

And what’s more important is that the daily salary for extras is only eighty to one hundred and fifty yuan, and the studio layout does not need to be complicated. The main body of the debaters can be highlighted, and there is no need to even arrange actors for the audience below. Just invite passers-by to the recording, and their true reactions to the plot can also appear on camera.

The whole program is perfect for them as they have no production budget at the moment. It is pure getting something for nothing.

And all the extras can come from the masses. They may not be able to act, but can't they act out their own lives?
When Zhang Chen was promoting the rising stars, he noticed some people who could appear on camera. Firstly, these local old men and women in Rongcheng actually have good acting genes, and secondly, they are good at speaking and have a passion for part-time acting. Everyone wants to start a second career.

Subjective initiative is important.

Therefore, Zhang Chen specifically kept the contact information of these people at that time. Now, he can find them and introduce them one by one, bringing in waves of extras for the subsequent scripts.

When he met his godfather, Zhang Chen had already made up his mind to let his godfather take advantage of the opportunity.

Jiang Rong came over and tugged at the corner of Zhang Chen's clothes, "Um, can I wear a mask when I'm recording?"

Although it was a reality show, Jiang Rong still felt socially frustrated.

"Oh, yes, yes, you and Zhang Jun both need to wear masks." Zhang Chen smacked his lips, "This will make it more realistic!"

The sense of immersion is immediate.

On the other side, Wei Nanchun smiled bitterly and shook his head and said to Wang Bowen: "Your godson, his brain is really... a genius, how could he think of these things..."

Wang Bowen laughed, "Isn't it! If my godson had been born a few years earlier, my programs..."

Wei Nanchun said, "Born a few years earlier, TV station? I'm afraid you'll make a mistake. Even now, I can imagine Director Yu's head buzzing when he receives feedback from all sides..."
