The leisurely life of rebirth

With the explosion of popularity of PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds, Zhang Binggui and his colleagues became unhappy.

"How to do?"

"What do you think we should do?"

Seeing a hen that laid golden eggs appeared, but they sold it at a low price, he felt unwilling to accept it.

He would rather the company go bankrupt.

Zhang Binggui looked at his former confidants, and they all lowered their heads and remained silent.

Everyone is quite satisfied with their current life. The performance benefits are better than before, there are more holidays and less overtime, and there is no more wolf-like management or kneeling service.

Stop joking about shares. They didn’t have many shares to begin with.

When it was first sold, Zhang Binggui sold the most himself, and they just drank some soup.

"Okay, all of you go out and stop talking nonsense." Zhang Binggui vented his anger, but found that he got even angrier. He was really unpopular.

"No wonder you get bullied and have no future."

Zhang Binggui said viciously behind his back.

Sitting in the office, looking up, I don’t know how long I can stay here. The reason I was kept was to stabilize the situation and not to change the head coach easily.

However, they gradually figured out the situation and discovered that the company ran more smoothly without them. Now they are basically in a state of being sidelined.

I can't get involved in the company's business, the finances are handled by others, and I even have little say in recruitment.

As the saying goes: You can survive the misfortunes sent by Heaven, but you cannot survive the misfortunes brought upon yourself!
I didn't leave any love for others back then, so naturally no one wants to be with me now.

Besides, there is not much use for these people to be with me. Most of the employees are very satisfied with their current working conditions and will not mess with me.

He drew his sword and looked around, feeling confused. There was not a single confidant among them!
He also thought of other means and contacted the chaebols, but considering the current interests, it was indeed not worth their effort, especially since Sequoia was involved, so they had to be cautious.

However, Zhang Binggui didn't want to leave in disgrace. If he left, where could he go?
Zhou You didn’t know what these people were thinking because it didn’t matter.

Why touch him?

A negative example is standing there, which can also remind everyone: Don’t go too far in your future behavior, otherwise you will really be abandoned by your friends and relatives!

Besides, the new company will be established soon. No matter whether the company relocates or the core technical team relocates, or people are sent here to learn and then Green is brought over, the subsequent Korean company will be a branch and will only be responsible for this small local area.

This small piece of land locally is enough to feed them.

Zhou You was able to play new games and develop new businesses. It was a very happy time. He had no time to care about trivial matters that would not make him as happy as he was having fun.

Originally, Ding Lei wanted to invite Zhou You to visit the pig farm, but Zhou You refused. It would be better to finish the task at hand as soon as possible and talk about it after the game is released as soon as possible.

It involves a series of equity changes and money transfers. Time is money, and everyone is fighting for it.

The only advantage is that the other two companies are giants, and if they really come, they can bring huge tax revenue to the local area, so the progress is still very fast.

Zhou You is at the filming site of Ace.

Yes, back to Hangtown again.

There have been too many changes recently, and the staff was recommended by Zhou You, so I can't just sit back and do nothing, so I was invited to provide on-site guidance.

Wu Tong, the ace director, is currently in a state of panic. The change of resident guests is a disaster for any program. There are only a few domestic programs that can carry the ratings.

Now, everything has to be changed.

Others did recommend a few to me, but I always felt like they were lacking something.

The people recommended are all from the comedy world, what direction will you take from now on?
"Hello, Brother You."

"Hello, Brother You." Jia Ling

"Hello, Brother You." Tang Dan

When I walked into the crew, it felt as friendly as being at home. Everyone there was familiar, except for a man with a somewhat funny appearance.

Yang Di is still very excited. He never thought that he would be invited to record the show here. After arriving, he found out that it was Zhou You who recommended him.

However, after thinking for a long time, I couldn't remember who Zhou You was, let alone having ever dealt with him.

Who would have thought that while sitting in someone else's home, wealth would fall from the sky.

Even though he debuted early, he is still not very famous. People's impression of him is that he is a bit funny, like a clown or something like that, and that's all.

"Hello, Mr. Zhou, I am Yang Di, thank you for your recommendation." Yang Di walked up to Zhou You very formally, bent down and bowed to express his gratitude.

Upon seeing this, Zhou You quickly helped him up. Looking at this person who was still a little green and immature, his heart was full of admiration. As a person who changed his career lately, he not only made a living in the entertainment industry, but also made better and better living. This really couldn't be separated from his personal efforts and diligence.

Later, Yang Di could be seen on many variety shows.

One time, a joke was made on the show: "Now everyone is probably afraid that Yang Di's reputation will be ruined. Once his reputation is ruined, half of the variety shows in China will be removed from the air."

Although it was a joke, it is enough to prove that Yang Di is a variety show star.

It just hasn't been fully unearthed yet.

"You're welcome. Stephen Chow told me that you have a talent for comedy, but you've never shown it. Also, you should hold back when acting and not be too exaggerated." Zhou You said. This was indeed what Stephen Chow said.

It was just used as an excuse by Zhou You.

Yang Di was very touched. People did say that, but how many people really gave him a chance?

Originally, Yang Di didn't know who Zhou You was. He just said that he was a little Karami in the entertainment industry. Everyone present had a higher status than him, even lower than Tang Dan, who at least had an agency.

He is just a lone player and no one is willing to sign him.

"Thank you, Brother You. I will definitely behave well and not embarrass you." Yang Di also shouted along with them, feeling inexplicably much more intimate.

Zhou You didn't want to say too much, but since he had already helped, he didn't mind giving him a little more help: "Do you have a contract with a company now?"

"No." Yang Di said immediately without hesitation for a second.

Really, no one is willing to sign me. Well, as for fame, I have a little, but not much, which is embarrassing.

If you are neither high nor low, you have to find resources on your own.

Zhou You patted his shoulder and said, "Okay, go find Yang Mi and sign with Dream Chaser. The contract is more relaxed."

"Okay, thank you." Yang Di didn't even ask any conditions.

It’s not like I’m a newbie in the entertainment industry anymore.

Even if I don’t know Zhou You, how could I not be familiar with Dream Chaser Company? It is the hottest company in recent years, no doubt about it.

The key is not to make money, but to get good treatment. The contracts are very loose, and all the necessary resources are provided. Many people hope that the contract period will be longer. It is not easy to find a good employer!

Wu Tong took out the original planning proposal and showed it to Zhou You.

Zhou You took a quick look and found that it was still the same routine. The current director still didn't let go.

"Director Wu, what do you think is the selling point of our variety show?"

Wu Tong pondered for a while: "Funny and traffic?"

In recent years, various comedy programs have emerged. Everyone is under too much pressure, so they want to relax by watching TV, especially variety shows.

It was the same before, it's just more obvious now.

"Look at which movies have the highest box office. Running Man and Go Fighting are both hilarious, and crosstalk is even more so. If we can make people laugh, we win."

"So, doing variety shows is all about having fun, and you have to have fun and have fun well. You can learn from Japan and South Korea in this regard, as they are more ruthless than the other."

"We don't need this, but the main line cannot be changed."

After saying that, pause briefly.

"I'm going to say something unpleasant, but don't be angry. This is a variety show, not a competition show. Your previous performance was too confrontational, directly pitting the two teams against each other. This created conflicts, but it wasn't a good show."

Wu Tong's face turned slightly red. He was in the middle of it but hadn't noticed it until Zhou You pointed it out.

"Yes, I also found a problem, but I didn't know what the problem was. Now I understand it after you said it."

Zhou You pointed at several people present and said, "Look, the people I matched for you include handsome guys, beautiful girls, funny guys, and ugly guys. Guests are definitely needed, but the key is to look at the permanent guests."

“My hope is to create a relaxing and enjoyable atmosphere.”

Wu Tong saw Zhou You like this and knew that he was confident, so he continued to flatter him, saying, "I'm asking you to come over and help me find my way out of this maze."

"Haha, there are a lot of plagiarized articles in the world. It just depends on whether you know how to plagiarize or not."

Speaking of this, Zhou You really has some experience. After seeing so much, he can really come up with it effortlessly.

"You draw and I guess, megaphone, stepping on balloons, the blind man carrying the lame man, etc. There are many more. Add a few more links and a small punishment. Everyone wants to see the glamorous stars in their downfall."

These are the evil tastes of human nature.

Actors, actors, to put it bluntly, have been a source of entertainment since ancient times.

Wu Tong's eyes widened. This is actually real stuff.

He immediately paused beside Zhou You, raised his head, and smiled flatteringly: "Please tell me in detail."

Zhou You was disgusted. He could accept a beautiful woman making such an expression, but not a man. He waved his hand and called Tang Dan and others over.

It’s good to have more people, so I don’t have to say it more times.

A group of people were listening nearby, but they were too embarrassed to come over. When they saw Zhou You waving, they all came over immediately.

"I'm here to give you some ideas. You're all masters of comedy and experts in making people laugh. I'm an outsider, so I'm just throwing out some ideas for you to consider." Zhou You said enthusiastically.

Making people laugh is a difficult thing and it is also a specialized knowledge. It is not an easy thing unless you have a natural talent!
"Brother You, you are too modest. You are just throwing jade to attract bricks." Hao Jian said in a shrill voice.

Everyone couldn't help laughing.

"Director Wu, look, the effect is here, isn't it? Don't let the words fall to the ground. The guests will be happy, and the audience will be happy too. Don't make things so tense." Zhou You commented personally, making everyone excited.

Just as he was about to continue, he was stopped by Zhou You.

"My brick hasn't come out yet, so you guys just have to be patient until the recording session, then you'll have your chance to shine."

Everyone then began to listen carefully.

"You draw and I guess. Two people use body movements to act out the words, and then teammates guess the words below. The one who guesses the most words wins!"

"It looks simple at first glance, and it can also test your acting skills. You will know when you try it later."

"There is also the game of whispering, where teammates are separated one by one by soundproofing boards, and then the first person passes the lines to the second person, and the second person passes it to the third person, and so on."

"Everyone knows that when we were young, we played the game of passing the message and often made mistakes while passing it. This is a very funny game to outsiders."

Just when everyone thought Zhou You would continue speaking, he shut his mouth.

Hao Jian then continued, "Brother You has made it very clear. Now it's our turn to perform with bricks. We'll try it out later. Anyway, the path has been given to us, so we can't just copy it."

"Yes, when playing games, we can exaggerate appropriately to increase the fun of the game." Yang Di also said, he is good at making jokes.

Jia Ling also joined the discussion: "We can set up some obstacles in the middle, such as you draw and I guess, you can only gesture a few times, add a time limit to increase the sense of urgency, use a megaphone to increase the difficulty, wear headphones and play music, etc."

Wu Tong's eyes lit up when he heard this. It turned out that there was always a way to play it this way. It was interesting. But did anyone like to watch it?

However, you can give it a try since the sponsor has spoken.

Tang Dan saw that everyone was chatting enthusiastically. He was a little overwhelmed for a moment. He stood there awkwardly and asked softly, "Um, um, what am I responsible for?"

Zhou You couldn't help but burst out laughing: "You, just be a vase, act stupid, and act awkward."

Hao Jian couldn't help but give Zhou You a thumbs up at this time: "Brother You, you have spoken the truth, it's because you are the big boss, otherwise if you come down in person, what will we eat?"

This guy, with all the praise and flattery, is really a good comedian.

"Let's go rehearse quickly and see if the first shot can be successful." Zhou You didn't respond.

Even though it was he who recommended it, I still wasn't too sure. After all, it was an experiment, a new team, a new approach, and no one could say how well it would work together or whether there would be any laughs.

But it doesn’t matter. At most, it will take a few more issues to get used to it. It’s no big deal.

Zhou You sat in the audience and watched them perform "You Draw, I Guess". This was the simplest and most convenient way.

Yang Di went up first. This time he played with idioms to seem more cultured. The first idiom was "Qianjiaobaimei".

The audience started laughing before they even saw the performance. The contrast was really interesting. How could an ugly man on the stage make so many charming moves? It was really more suitable for it with the beauties below.

At this time, Hao Jian smiled and said, "You say, this is not making things difficult for others, the program team is cheating people."

With just one sentence, he made the audience laugh again.

Yang Di made a tearful expression on the stage at this time, raised his hand, then put it down again, pretending to be helpless and said: "Director, can this be passed? My performance is fine, but I'm afraid that everyone will vomit after watching it."

Wow, the whole audience burst into laughter.

Wu Tong saw the reaction from the audience and knew that he had chosen the right path! (End of this chapter)
