Artists under the Rebirth of the Coal Boss

Chapter 172 Food Doraemon! The First Food Blogger!

In 2009, "Doraemon: Nobita's Adventures in the Green Giant" was released in mainland China...

This IP had nationwide reach and influence in the year 2000!
Since its premiere on CCTV in 1991, this animation has consistently ranked among the top in evening viewership, becoming a staple of weekend dinner time alongside "Tom and Jerry," and a symbol of collective memory for three generations!

Starting in 2000, CCTV, facing challenges from local powerhouses like Hunan TV, Zhejiang TV, and Dragon TV in terms of viewership, began to further promote market-oriented reforms.

CCTV-2 broke with CCTV's previous practice of "broadcasting animation only on Sundays" and added a Saturday animation slot for the version of "Doraemon" with Jin Guizi and Dong Hao as the main voice actors.

After the authorities fired the first shot, they opened the curtain on a major reform of the mainland animation broadcasting mechanism!

This allows animated films, which were originally hailed as opium by experts and scholars, to be broadcast openly and legitimately on television!

As a result, Doraemon began to be broadcast simultaneously on more than 60 local television stations across the country...

Meanwhile, the comic book series published by People's Fine Arts Publishing House, priced at one yuan, became a nationwide sensation and a "hard currency" among children.

…………

This Doraemon movie, adapted from Fujiko F. Fujio's manga short story "Plant Planet's Cosmic Plants," originally had no connection to "Delicious Food Wins the World."

However, Lin Xingzhuo, who kept eating on the show, was first exposed on the Li Yi Bar of Baidu Tieba by someone claiming to be a staff member of the "Dwelling Narrowness" crew.

Thus, Lin Xingzhuo's nickname "Gourmet Doraemon" officially broke through the small circle of the film and television crew and entered the public eye.

…………

Meanwhile, China Film Distribution Corporation, the mainland distributor of "Doraemon: Nobita and the Hulk," faced fierce competition from "Up" and "McDull: Kung Fu Kindergarten," resulting in a poor box office start...

The overwhelmed director of the publishing company saw this trending post on the forum and immediately contacted Lin Xingzhuo's agent, Zhang Youqian.

Riding the wave of popularity of the TV series "Dwelling Narrowness" and Lin Xingzhuo, we cordially invite you to a celebrity movie screening event at the Peace Cinema on Xueyu Middle Road in Shanghai!
After the movie, Lin Xingzhuo also interacted with the children in the audience, bringing along dolls of classic characters such as Doraemon and Nobita...

This is a win-win-win situation!

China Film Distribution Company achieved maximum promotional effect for "Doraemon: Nobita and the Green Giant" with minimal cost! The film immediately broke into the top 3 of the year's animated films!

Lin Xingzhuo is trending on social media again thanks to her nickname "Gourmet Doraemon"!

"Delicious Food Wins the World" already had the perfect combination of location and people, and now the main guest of the latest episode has inexplicably linked with the latest movie.

Compared to the popularity of TV dramas and variety shows, movies occupy the top of the entire entertainment industry's food chain, which can be described as perfect timing!

It's like everything's working in their favor! This episode is destined to be a hit!!

…………

Although the filming schedule for "Detective Dee and the Mystery of the Phantom Flame" was already very tight, Lin Xingzhuo was still very cooperative in participating in the promotion of the "Doraemon" movie.

Because Lin Xingzhuo has four things he won't criticize about Japan: music, movies, and animation.

…………

Actually, this can be considered Doraemon's last moment of glory.

The new generation of program acquisition managers at major television stations are more individualistic and have more confidence in their own aesthetic judgment...

For example, Lin Xingzhuo once met an older sister who served as the deputy director of the CCTV program procurement center in his previous life.

She had a good relationship with another older woman in Lin Xingzhuo's office who had only graduated from junior high school and had joined the department as a family member. They often took the opportunity of coming to the General Administration for meetings and handling procedures to chat in the Audit Department office...

This older woman once mentioned it.

The child's uncle put on Doraemon for his four-year-old son, which was fine at first, but she later sternly stopped him.

She said that ever since he started watching Doraemon, he's been yelling and screaming all the time, and he's become a bad influence. He's not learning anything from it, so she won't let him watch Japanese anime anymore!
Later, on one Women's Day afternoon when she had a half-day off, Lin Xingzhuo spent the morning frantically writing reports.

This lady brought some materials from the CCTV program acquisition center to visit, and made an appointment with the older sister-in-law in the office to watch the three little ones' activities in the afternoon.

With nothing to do, the two of them simply binged on terrible variety shows and dramas in the office, thoroughly enjoying themselves and bursting into all sorts of sudden, loud, and bizarre laughs!
This woman, who serves as the deputy director of the program acquisition center, is representative of a certain group.

…………

Later, this woman first cancelled "Doraemon" and "Ikkyu-san," and then didn't renew the contracts for "Tom and Jerry" and "Popeye." She didn't want either Japanese or Western animation, so she must be supporting domestic animation!

As a result, the projects for the sequels to "Blue Cat's 3000 Questions" and "Go Master" were also rejected after several rounds of procurement negotiations...

Finally, they spent 3500 million to buy "LF Story"!!

The most outrageous thing is that this thing actually aired on CCTV's children's channel...

Lin Xingzhuo's evaluation was outrageous!
In the entertainment industry, as long as money and connections are in place, and it's not obviously illegal, everything else is negotiable...

........................

Lin Xingzhuo took half a day off and rushed back to Hengdian overnight after attending the Doraemon celebrity movie screening event.

On my laptop, I'm watching the "Delicious Food Wins the World" program that Zhang Youqian helped me copy.

Lin Xingzhuo felt her face getting hot...

If the airing of the TV series "Dwelling Narrowness" meant that Lin Xingzhuo felt that another life in a different time and space had come to an end.

Variety shows, on the other hand, are a completely different concept.

In addition, Lin Xingzhuo was too lazy to create a persona for herself, and everything was done as she pleased.

This led to a situation where things were quite exciting at the time, but after the show aired...

amount……

Lin Xingzhuo used his past life's occupational habits to examine himself...

I saw a creature inside, eating non-stop, like a hamster.

This is so embarrassing!!!
Also, while at the Huaiyang Guesthouse, they found an unusually straight tree branch. For some reason, Lin Xingzhuo suddenly had a brain fart and grabbed the branch to hit the roadside grass...

When I came to my senses, I saw Li Nian and Zhu Dan covering their mouths and laughing behind me...

Damn! This got caught on camera too! I'm calling Hua Shao right now to settle the score!

Damn it! This thing could be me?!
Lin Xingzhuo said he was completely numb!
Impossible... Absolutely impossible...

…………

In 2009, the first generation of mukbang (eating broadcast) hosts, food bloggers, and big eaters like Mi Zijun, Duo Yi, Langweixian, and Paopaolong had not yet emerged, and the concept of mukbang had not even appeared yet...

Because Lin Xingzhuo suffered from eating instant noodles every day in his previous life, he attained enlightenment in Longchang and comprehended the fundamental mysteries of humanity!
…………

That is……

Human beings are essentially Homo sapiens.

There is only one true main goal in coming into this world.

Find a safe habitat, and then get a delicious 2000 calories every day.
The rest are just side quests for exploration...

…………

Now, the pent-up appetite accumulated over two lifetimes is unleashed, emphasizing authenticity!

This is why the program was edited and filmed.

Although he himself felt quite embarrassed watching it, Confucius said, "Food and sex are human nature," and the audience quite enjoyed watching it.

Lin Xingzhuo stumbled upon a market gap by accident, becoming one of the first food bloggers!

…………

Soon, Tiger Vision's Jinyang Information Security Center, through two moles planted within Zhejiang TV, obtained the viewership data for "Delicious Food Wins the World" at the first opportunity...
