Chapter 115 The Birth of the King of Expressions!
The comments that appeared a few minutes ago quickly faded away.
After GG's song, the program got down to business.
From the arrival of the guests to the preview video between the contestants and the comedy troupe, it took about twenty minutes.
Then came the competition segment for the contestants.
From the first play, "Mr. & Mrs. Smith's Re-employment," which expresses longing for Genghis Khan, to the second play, "The Empty City Stratagem."
User activity levels fluctuate.
Funny memes will attract more comments, but at other times you can see that some official bot accounts are leading the discussion.
And just as the host Ma Dong announced that Shen Jian would be performing in the third episode, with the work "Traveling Through Li Bai and His Poet Friends".
It's like triggering a switch.
The barrage of comments suddenly exploded.
[ah???]
[Did I read that right? Shen Jian is playing Li Bai!]
[Haha, holy crap, 666!]
[I want to know which genius screenwriter came up with this script. Don't you know who my eldest son is?]
[Wow, I was really looking forward to him playing a school character, but he ended up playing Li Bai instead, hahaha!]
[Sure, sure, let me see what kind of Li Bai this is!]
[————]
The comments section was buzzing with discussion.
On screen, Shen Jian has already entered the scene with Zhang Weiyi and others.
As the stage curtain slowly rose.
Shen Jian's expression was the first to appear on camera.
That immediately caused the barrage of comments to explode.
[Hahaha, holy crap!]
[What kind of look is this? It's so...unusual!]
[My god, what kind of expression is that? Is this even human?]
[The eldest son is awesome.]
[Hilarious! Li Bai probably can't resist coming out of his tomb to fight him.]
[Emoji! Pay attention to the emoji!!]
[Holy crap, that's incredible.]
The screen was filled with comments.
Visible activity and climax.
Meanwhile, at the Penguin Video building.
The data backend staff are sending real-time data to the program team and the content and investment departments.
Deputy Director Li Kun and his team began integrating GG advertising.
Data is often more convincing than flowery words.
Once you show them the new traffic and user activity, the decision on whether or not to invest in advertising will naturally be made.
Li Kun originally thought this festival would be a slow burn.
Why do we have to wait until more than halfway through before reaching the peak?
As a result, after Shen Jian entered the game, he immediately surged upwards like a rocket.
"Mr. Li, according to GG Merchant, there's been an additional order; seven more slots will be added for the next round."
Li Kun smiled and said, "Increase the bid, double the opening credits, and add a 12-second golden GG pop-up at the beginning of Shen Jian's third performance. Send out the news, 800 million per episode, first come first served, plus an end-credits promotion —"
A series of instructions were issued.
Li Kun couldn't suppress the urge to smile.
Sure enough, surprise tactics have amazing effects. He didn't take it seriously when Wang Juan was fighting with Kiwi for people.
Today we saw the results of Shen Jian's efforts.
Just now I realized that Wang Juan's move was indeed decisive and ruthless.
Although the show "Comedy Star" is still some distance from the real big-name hit variety shows in terms of earning power.
But without a doubt.
This is a finished product with the potential to become a dark horse.
He only glanced at it twice before being completely captivated by Shen Jian's meme-like expressions, finding it hard to forget the comical feeling.
Therefore, he is bound to become a hot topic and a popular figure in the first episode.
It seems like the first episode of the talk show was a hit.
It turned out to work just as well on the comedy show.
This is enough to demonstrate this person's potential in variety shows.
Moreover, he is still a newcomer who has just debuted.
If it gains traction over time, it could indeed become a powerful tool for winning over new users in the variety show sector.
"Mr. Wang has a truly discerning eye."
Li Kun said something in a low voice.
No wonder he's the director, while I'm just the deputy director.
Perhaps this is the difference.
While thinking about it, he took out his phone and made a call.
Soon, a voice came from the other end of the phone: "Feed?"
Li Kun: "President Wang, I have a report to you. The first episode of Comedians has aired, and the data is definitely off the charts."
Wang Juan: "Oh? How about that Shen Jian?"
Li Kun: "As you expected, he is indeed a promising talent, no wonder Mr. Ma of Kiwi is unwilling to let him go."
Wang Juan: "Yes, very good. Keep a close eye on things from now on. After the comedian finishes recording, we'll check on the follow-up projects. If there are any suitable ones, we'll continue to work with him."
Li Kun: "Don't worry, Mr. Wang."
iQiyi Video Building.
The office lights were still on.
Ma Dong stared at the video on the computer, his expression incredibly complex.
"I won't starve! Meituan has a 12 RMB discount for orders over 12 RMB, so I'm very full!"
Shen Jian, who plays the schizophrenic Li Bai, is exaggeratingly uttering the GG phrase that was accidentally inserted.
Ma Dong's expression turned even uglier.
Meanwhile, Xiaowei, the assistant standing to the side, clenched her fists so tightly that tears were about to stream down her face.
She really wanted to laugh, but as an assistant, she knew she had to stand on the same side as her boss.
You must feel what the boss feels and suffer what the boss suffers.
How can you find the enemy's skit funny?
"Xiaowei," Ma Dong sighed, "Do you know? Meituan was supposed to be our title sponsor. If Shen Jian had said that line on Qiyiguo, I could have made 20 million yuan from that episode. But alas, there are no 'what ifs' in reality."
"Pfft, hahaha."
'
"Uh, yeah—sorry, boss."
Ma Dong said expressionlessly, "Xiao Wei, is it really that funny?"
Xiao Wei: "Mr. Ma, it's not funny."
Ma Dong: "Then what are you laughing at?"
Xiao Wei: "I'm laughing at Shen Jian's expression."
Ma Dong: "So, don't you want this expression to appear in our kiwi territory?"
Do you know what war means? Every single soldier can potentially decide the outcome of a battle at a crucial moment.
Xiao Wei: "Boss, you're exaggerating."
"Serious?" Ma Dong shook his head: "No, all leaders need to have a sense of crisis. The entertainment industry is doomed."
Xiao Wei: "————"
Ma Dong: "You think this is alarmist? Look at the top female celebrities born in the 00s now, how many of them have actually made it big?"
Under the prevailing trend, no one can withstand it, and fashion resources are getting worse and worse. It's not that they don't work hard, it's that the market is different from before.
Back then, it had male fans born in the 80s and 90s to support it, but now this group is dwindling. The younger generation prefers internet celebrities to traditional stars, and many young men don't even follow the entertainment industry; they prefer politics and international affairs!
It's impossible to replicate the market of yesteryear, so the decline of the domestic entertainment industry is an inevitable trend. Downgrading resources means downgrading the entire industry.
Xiaowei: "Then what should we do?"
Ma Dong: "These are questions that producers and directors should think about, and of course, they are also questions that those of us who create content should think about."
Xiaowei: "Then what should we do?"
Ma Dong: "Hmph, I think we'll wipe out a bunch of people and then start over."
Xiaowei: "Then what should we do?"
Ma Dong's face darkened: "Xiao Wei, can you be on the same page as me and fulfill your responsibilities as an assistant?"
If I didn't answer you, it means I don't know either!
Can you please stop asking me all the time?!
Xiaowei: "Oh."
The next day.
.
Comedians' Wonderful Night topped the trending searches.
The terms "split personality Li Bai" and "expression king" also appeared on the list.
