Entertainment: Is this how you play music?!

Chapter 296 A stage accident caused by a series of loud farts.

The entertainment industry and the music industry are not closely related, but it's unlikely that they are completely unrelated.

Li Can's name is known throughout the entertainment industry.

Zhu Ziwen trembles at the mere mention of this name, let alone when he is a guest on a variety show.

Upon receiving the news.

Zhu Ziwen's entire company went crazy.

Even though it was already 1:30 a.m. when I received the news, and even though it was still a long time before the official recording.

Zhu Ziwen's company executives were woken up one by one by the chairman's phone call and started a video conference in the middle of the night. Everyone broke out in a cold sweat after hearing the news. They were not only not grumpy when they woke up, but they were also not sleepy at all.

When the video was turned on, everyone looked at each other, completely speechless.

"."

DP band has participated in variety shows before.

But it mainly features Lin Feng and Han Jiayin.

Moreover, the number is small and the exposure is minimal.

But now?

The true mastermind behind the DP band is about to make his official appearance.

This signal is far too easy to overthink.

"Everyone, stay alert, this is a huge test."

The chairman of Linhai Entertainment looked grave.

Although Lin Hai Entertainment has a considerable reputation in the industry, with one A-list artist, six second-list artists, and three affiliated film and music studios, making it a significant part of Shanghai's entertainment circle, it is still incomparable.

Perhaps they have the guts to compete with the former Star Media Entertainment on some projects.

But it really doesn't work now.

"DP Band is not keen on variety shows. Their business model involves live performances both online and offline, linking with film, television, games and music to create an IP for the band's identity. They make a living by the copyright fees from their works."

"For them, the exposure from variety shows has no impact whatsoever. Even if they participate in variety shows casually, it would never be Li Can, the boss, personally taking the stage. Lin Feng and Han Jiayin are clearly more suited to variety show activities."

“I don’t think it was just a spur-of-the-moment decision; there must be a deeper reason behind it.”

After the company executives exchanged their opinions...

Everyone has a clear understanding of a concept.

Li Can has deeper thoughts.

This is true.

However, no one could figure out Li Can's idea at all.

"I dare not say much about other things, but if Li Can really makes more appearances in the entertainment industry, the biggest impact will definitely be on the trend of music-related entertainment content. This is a new opportunity, but also a new risk."

"Think about the impact of fan meetings on current music variety show standards, and then think about the idol industry. This time, Li Can is personally involved, so it's definitely not a feint. We must be prepared to face the upcoming market impact."

finally.

Everyone nodded in unison, their expressions solemn.

"Of course, if Zhu Ziwen doesn't cause any trouble in this variety show, it's a victory. If it's effective, we'll give him more resources and tell him to be careful with his temper."

"Of course, consider the worst-case scenario and be prepared to abandon Zhu Ziwen at any time!"

The meeting is adjourned for now.

The agent finally received instructions from the company amidst his anxiety.

After Zhu Ziwen learned of the superiors' thoughts, he truly understood what it meant to seek wealth and honor amidst danger.

"Be careful with the heat. If the explosion happens, the company will cut it off. Don't blame the company for being inhumane; they really can't handle it. There aren't many in the entire entertainment industry who can. You have to understand."

"But at the same time, risk is also opportunity. As long as you don't mess things up, you've won; if you're effective, you've made a contribution."

"Once you make a contribution, you will be assigned key roles in film and television projects for the second half of the year, including associated promotional resources, one S, three A, and five B!"

"Fuck!"

Zhu Ziwen was shocked.

This arrangement is indeed more than generous and perfectly in line with the company's business interests.

There are essentially three possibilities.

The calm and peaceful atmosphere is boring, the program quality is low, and you might get a few comments, but nothing will happen.

If the performance is exceptional and creates a lot of entertainment value...
If you offend Li Can, you're doomed; if you don't, you're set for life.

The decision to gamble or not to gamble is just a matter of a single thought.

Celebrities do like to gamble for popularity and fame, but Zhu Ziwen just wants to live.

"I must try my best to maintain politeness and stay away from Li Can, preferably avoiding any contact. I'll accept his teasing, but when I tease him, I'll be careful to be tactful and focus on compliments. I should try not to talk during the recording of the show, and if I have to come into contact with him, I should remain polite and avoid any physical, eye contact, mental, or facial interaction with Li Can as much as possible."

Zhu Ziwen diligently memorized "Several Ideas and Solutions for Getting Along with Li Can".

I felt so unlucky that even my farts hit my heels.

And for these.

Li Can knew nothing about it.

The specific rules of talk shows are quite ordinary.

The four regular guests are professional stand-up comedians, and the two celebrity guests are popular figures.

In addition to the six performers in each episode.

There is also a "light-up group" composed of four celebrities from various industries.

If the stand-up comedy routine is a hit, a celebrity will light up their buzzer; 4 lights advance, 0 or 1 light results in elimination. 23 lights lead to a elimination round.

This rule was changed by the production team at the last minute.

Originally, four celebrities were prepared to be featured, but Li Can showed up instead.

If a celebrity is in charge, when Li Can goes on stage, will anyone dare not press the buzzer?
Not issuing a warning could offend Li Can.

It's a great opportunity, but if Li Can's stand-up comedy is just average, the impact will be even worse.

He pleases neither side.

then.

The production team temporarily replaced the "light-up" panel with four celebrities from other unrelated industries.

For example, the literary world, the business world, the education world, and so on.

Having no direct business relationship or communication with Li Can, he naturally had no reservations.

The four artists were initially unhappy when they learned that their appearance had been suddenly canceled, but when they learned that the reason for the last-minute change was because Li Can had come, their attitude immediately changed from dissatisfaction to gratitude. They were grateful that the production team was understanding and gave them a way out.

Overjoyed, he subscribed to the program, gleefully anticipating how the unlucky Zhu Ziwen would clash with Li Can in the mid lane.

After all, it's the art of "offending".

You wouldn't dare to offend anyone, but letting a large audience watch you flatter someone in public is exhausting in terms of public relations.

With everyone having different mindsets, time passed slowly.

Two weeks have passed in the blink of an eye.

Li Can and his entourage had already left Chengdu for Europe, where they performed four shows, bombarding local news outlets.

When the time came, they did not immediately move to the Americas, but returned to China.

I took a short break and happened to come here to record a program.

Then I remembered the show that Li Can was about to participate in.

Lin Feng couldn't help but chuckle.

"Brother Can, don't get angry if you're offended, and don't go too far. Some celebrities might not be able to handle this kind of novelty."

"It's not that serious. I have no grudge against Zhu Ziwen, and we're not even close. Why would I bother with him? It's just stand-up comedy, not some kind of jerk act. I'll just tell some jokes and that's it."

Li Can shook his head.

There are definitely people who can't handle the consequences, but there are also likely people who will resort to any means necessary to gain popularity and choose to be extremely aggressive.

Lee Chan is such a popular person.

Go to stand-up comedy shows.

Then it wouldn't be surprising if anything happened.

"Are you sure you're up to it, bro? We'd be fine with this if it were a martial arts competition, but this joke-telling thing..."

"I don't need to tell jokes, I am the joke."

"Ha ha ha ha!!"

The group burst into laughter.

Clearly, Li Can is starting to get into the zone.

Wait for the vehicle to arrive at the recording studio.

The group headed to the recording site in a relaxed and comfortable manner.

Li Can went backstage, while the others quietly took their seats in the audience.

Unlike Li Can's relaxed demeanor.

After this period of experience, Zhu Ziwen became increasingly nervous.

By the time the show was being recorded, the tension had reached a point where it was suffocating and making me dizzy.

"Awen, take a deep breath, don't be nervous."

The agent comforted Zhu Ziwen in a gentle and soothing voice.

Zhu Ziwen's hands and feet were ice-cold, his chest heaving violently, and he nodded earnestly.

Only in this industry, only when I'm about to meet Li Can.

Only then can one truly feel this immense pressure.

After standing up and stepping out of the car, before his left foot had even crossed the bumper, Zhu Ziwen let out a series of loud farts.

"Puff, puff, puff, puff!"

The assistant and agent's eyebrows twitched, but they pretended not to hear, lest Zhu Ziwen, whose face was already flushed, become even more nervous.

When a person is under extreme stress, their heart rate increases, their muscles tense, and their intestinal peristalsis intensifies.

As an actor, Zhu Ziwen's eating habits are extremely irregular.

With such tension, the score kept rising.

The assistant suppressed a laugh, and the agent's expression was not good, but they both turned their faces away, pretending not to hear or see.

They followed him and led Zhu Ziwen to the recording hall as if nothing had happened.

Upon approaching, I saw the director explaining the precautions to a handsome man who was 1.9 meters tall. "It's Li Can!"

The three of them stopped abruptly, in perfect unison.

Zhu Ziwen felt even more nervous, his heart skipped a beat, and his mind went completely blank.

"Hello, Brother Can Can!"

After Li Can stood up, Zhu Ziwen, whose smile was somewhat stiff, stepped forward and forced a greeting.

Li Can looked up, smiled, and nodded.

"Hello."

For Li Can, there were definitely people who wanted to take shortcuts and curry favor with him throughout the show. After all, once you become famous, everyone around you will be a good person, and even the slightest connection with you will bring huge benefits. His attitude might be over-interpreted.

So he wasn't too enthusiastic, nor too indifferent.

I maintain a smiling nod attitude: I'll answer if you ask me, but I won't initiate conversation if you don't.

What a coincidence.

Zhu Ziwen handled it in a similar way.

This resulted in the two of them standing there after exchanging greetings, not saying a word, just smiling.

"."

"."

Fortunately, this awkward situation didn't last long.

Soon, the director broke the awkward silence by leading the two into the recording studio, where they each sat in their own seats.

After the other guests entered one after another.

Zhu Ziwen was able to relax a little.

Compared to celebrities in the entertainment industry, these stand-up comedians who have just had the opportunity to enter the public eye are much more enthusiastic.

Perhaps it's because it involves verbal performance.

Then came two male and two female stand-up comedians, who immediately greeted Li Can and Zhu Ziwen warmly.

During the self-introductions, Li Can learned the names of these four people.

Liao Song, Yin Ping, Chi Yue, Yao Lin.

"Hello, Brother Wen! I really enjoy watching the TV dramas you star in!"

"It's Chan-hyung! Hyung! I'm your biggest fan, can I get your autograph?"

"Brother Wen, when will 'Maple Leaf Manor' be released? I've been looking forward to it for so long!"

"Brother Chan, you're so handsome! You're much more charming in person than in photos!"

The venue then became lively.

Before the recording of the show began, they started chatting during a break.

Li Can is alright.

The social interactions were very natural.

But clearly, Zhu Ziwen's tension level began to rise again, and he felt rather restless.

My stomach is starting to feel strange again.

Perhaps because of the loud fart he had let out earlier, Zhu Ziwen was still a little bothered by it, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that he might need to hold it in.

Until the recording of the program finally officially began.

Zhu Ziwen vaguely saw Li Can stand up and prepare to go on stage.

He immediately took a few deep breaths, leaned forward to sit up straight, fiddled with the microphone in his hand, and tried to calm down and think about the content of the stand-up comedy he was going to perform next.

Finally, amidst screams and applause, Li Can walked onto the stage.

"Ahhh!! Holy crap!! Chan-hyung!!"

"Awesome! Aaaaah!"

Although most of the audience members were "plants," their excitement was genuine.

Seeing a true god appear on a variety show is something that would make even the production team scream, let alone the planters.

If Zhu Ziwen hadn't participated in the program and had only been an audience member, perhaps the outcome would have been the same.

"Hello everyone, I'm Li Can. It's an honor to be here on this stage. I guess I've finally made it to the top. No, I've finally made it to the top. I've really succeeded."

Li Can waved as he walked onto the stage, speaking quickly and with a cheerful smile.

"The fact that I was able to come here shows that both stand-up comedians and stand-up comedians need to be treated."

"Ha ha ha ha!!"

The simple slip of the tongue and the self-deprecating humor immediately made the audience burst into laughter.

Even Zhu Ziwen couldn't help but grin.

Zhu Ziwen didn't notice that he had unintentionally turned on the microphone.

"Everyone thinks I might be a bit abstract."

After the laughter subsided, Li Can began his performance.

"But art itself is about making abstract emotions, feelings, and thoughts concrete, allowing the audience to perceive the abstract in a concrete and vivid way through visual, auditory, and other experiences."

"If it's not abstract, what are you going to use to create art? Are you going to rely on eccentricities?"

Li Can paused slightly, then nodded seriously.

"can!"

"Hahahaha!"

Amid the laughter of the audience, Li Can took two steps on the stage.

A meaningful thumbs-up, with a hidden meaning.

"For example, the entertainment industry."

"Don't ask if it's artistic or not, I'm just asking if it's crazy or not."

“Ahahahahaha!!”

Viewers immediately grasped Li Can's satire of the bizarre and surreal nature of the entertainment industry.

Amidst the laughter, they waited with great interest to hear Brother Can rant about the entertainment industry.

After all, Lee Chan was very outspoken in the last interview on a variety show.

But Zhu Ziwen's perception was completely different.

A person with a criminal record is suspected of wanting to open fire.

Even though there was nothing wrong with him, Zhu Ziwen, who was already nervous, couldn't help but tense up all over.

The body, which had just relaxed a little, tensed up again.

The sudden tension made Zhu Ziwen feel a churning in his stomach.

The more you are afraid of something, the more it becomes.

Suddenly, a series of loud farts echoed throughout the venue through Zhu Ziwen's microphone.

"Puff, puff, puff, puff!"

Zhu Ziwen was dumbfounded.

The production team was stunned.

The audience was stunned.

Li Can was also stunned.

No one could have imagined that someone would be playing music and keeping time while Li Can was telling jokes.

Everyone's expression froze instantly.

It seems that laughter and stage mishaps could happen in the next second.

Just as Zhu Ziwen felt as if the sky had fallen, Li Can suddenly turned around, paused for a moment, and then quickly asked.

"Brother Wen, you came by motorcycle today?"

"Hahahahaha!"

In an instant, loud laughter erupted from the audience.

Such "cooperation" and "design" is really too much to ask of people.

The audience members were laughing so hard they were doubled over.

Before Zhu Ziwen could even process what was happening, Li Can curled his lip and added insult to injury.

"The exhaust pipe is blowing air a bit."

"Hahahahahaha!!"

The audience laughed heartily for a full six or seven seconds before the laughter gradually subsided.

But who knows.

Just when everyone thought the matter was over, Li Can pointed at Zhu Ziwen, who was still in a daze.

"See, what did I say?"

"Crazy, the entertainment industry."

"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!!"

This made the audience laugh even louder.

Amidst the bursts of laughter, cheers and whistles erupted.

"Haha, holy crap, they can even connect that?"

"Brother Can, were you secretly memorizing jokes at home?"

"Hahaha, damn it, the motorcycle exhaust pipe is malfunctioning."

Li Can gave the audience a surprise.

It was a pleasant surprise for the production team.

The effect of this show was absolutely explosive; it could easily be recorded as one of the most abstract scenes in the entertainment industry this year.

Only Zhu Ziwen's face was flushed, and his eyes lost their luster.

I feel like life has lost its meaning.

If it's going to be awkward, we'll just cut this part out.

But Li Can's brilliant comeback made this scene absolutely impossible to cut!
Given Li Can's popularity, it's easy to imagine that the whole world will know that Zhu Ziwen let out a series of loud farts on the show.

Isn't this going to be a disaster?
