Chapter 22

After eating, everyone went back to their respective homes, each looking for their respective mothers...

When Jiang Chen returned to the hotel that Sister Gao Yun had booked and was about to take a nap after washing, the phone rang. Jiang Chen picked up the phone, it was an unfamiliar number, and picked it up.

"Is it Mr. Jiang Chen?" There was a strange man's voice on the other side of the phone.

"Well, may I ask who you are?"

"Hehe, I'm Yang Zhi, the chief director of Happy Camp. I wonder if Mr. Jiang Chen is free tomorrow? I want to meet you."

Jiang Chen smiled, "But, my manager isn't here."

"No! You don't need to bring her here! Let's talk about it." Yang Zhi hurriedly said as soon as he heard this.

"Well, I'll go there tomorrow."

The next day, when Hunan TV reported the ratings of last night's live broadcast, the entire Happy Camp production team cheered.

The ratings were finally fixed at 1.15%, 0.05% more than they expected!

"Director, we have found a treasure this time!" Xiao Zhang said enthusiastically, "Didn't you say that you plan to invite him to be an intern host? I think it's good. If the ratings are still so high in a few weeks, I fully agree to be promoted. Official host!"

"Hey...it's time to meet him, I hope you can get your wish." Yang Zhi didn't answer Xiao Zhang, but just sighed.

Xiao Zhang thought for a while and said, "Why don't you give him a raise? The newcomers only have transportation expenses, right?"

Yang Zhi straightened his clothes, thought for a while and replied, "I'm going to count the episodes for him."

"Count the number of episodes?!" Xiao Zhang was taken aback, "That's a salary calculation method only for popular hosts! He is a newcomer, and he can top the sky with 1200 a month! Most of them have a monthly salary of around 800! You are not afraid to recruit Does anyone criticize? Director, seeing how many people are now the director of Happy Camp, there are so many people who are jealous!"

"Anyway, he's a trial host, so it's convenient for settlement." Yang Zhi smiled wryly, "However, even if that's the case, it's still one thing whether he agrees or not. It's hard to find a general... Okay, the time is up, let's talk later .”

After Yang Zhi left, Xiao Zhang sipped his coffee in the back, and murmured, "A newcomer counts as an episode? He Jiong, Li Xiang, and the others only started counting when they reached 1% of the TV series of Happy Capital... Director Yang is really tempted this time." Yes, we have to dig it out..."

After coming out of the TV station, Yang Zhi immediately went to the agreed western-style dining place.

Western-style restaurants are very close, and it will take less than 10 minutes. When he arrives, Jiang Chen is already sitting in the box waiting for him.

Yang Zhi looked around vigilantly, but he didn't see Gao Yun's shadow, so he secretly heaved a sigh of relief, and said with a smile, "Xiao Jiang, you came quite early."

"Director Yang."

Yang Zhi ordered two cups of coffee, exchanged pleasantries for a while, and then said with a smile, "The ratings of the program have been released, 1.15%. Thanks for your help."

"No, it's the director who is willing to let us show our faces." Jiang Chen also smiled slightly, he respected me a foot, and of course he had to go back with a smile on his face, "I watched the replay last night, and I had a lot of shots."

"You deserve it." Yang Zhi smiled, "I'm here today, I want to talk to you about something."

"If it's about the host, I'm afraid I'll disappoint Director Yang." Jiang Chen said sincerely, "I'm interested in movies, so I'm afraid I'm not suitable to be the host."

Yang Zhi originally wanted to say, "I think you are quite suitable", but swallowed it back.

"Can I ask why?"

"Director Yang should also be a sensible person, so why bother to ask questions? Funny variety shows will label me as a 'comicist' and 'host', which will limit my way of acting. Maybe I can be popular now, but if I want to accept dramas in the future, I will It's very limited."

Yang Zhi pondered and said, "Did your manager tell you? In fact, no one can decide the future of an artist. It doesn't mean that you are not optimistic about your ambition on the big screen, but not everyone will be able to go smoothly. Xiao Jiang , I have been in the industry longer than you, and I have seen too many people acting badly to do variety shows. And the income of variety shows is actually much higher than you imagined."

Jiang Chen shook his head, "I thought about it myself. Forgive me for being a long-time host, I really can't agree. If it's a regular guest once a month, I can consider it."

Yang Zhi glanced at him in surprise, how long has he been in the industry?I can think of the shortcomings of variety shows.You know, if the newcomers hear that there is a show, they will be overwhelmed, let alone a popular show like Happy Camp.

He sighed and said, "Hey, doing a variety show is like looking for a lover, and the right host is like a marriage partner. In fact, my idea is to do a trial host first, and see the ratings become positive after a month. Even...after a month, the ratings will maintain. , I can promise you as a director, the salary will be calculated according to the number of episodes, and there will be a fixed salary every month."

Jiang Chen was stunned, the salary was calculated according to the number of episodes, it could be seen that the other party was really sincere, but he knew what his ambition was, not only his own dream, but also to fight with his little sister's dream.

Moreover, with the help of the system, he is confident that he can make a breakthrough.

"Director Yang, thank you for your kind eyes from Happy Camp, but the big screen is my ambition, and I'm afraid I won't change it." He once again rejected the other party's proposal.

Yang Zhi frowned, "Is it really only once a month at most?"

"Twice at most."

"Then I have to think about it. If only your show can create such ratings every month, it will make it difficult for us to do other shows." Yang Zhi knocked on the table hesitantly, and scanned the Jiang Chen, this feeling of worrying about gains and losses, I really haven't experienced it in the past few years since I became a director.

He really cares about whether he can go further.

"Okay, no matter what the result is, I am very grateful to Hunan Satellite TV for giving me this opportunity." Jiang Chen smiled again, "If Director Yang has nothing else to do, I will leave first."

"Okay, you will stay in Changsha for a few more days, and I will give you an answer within two days." Yang Zhi nodded and went out.

He was eager to go back and ask for everyone's opinions. He knew very well that this kind of artist, as long as the producer was not blind, would never let him go.

Returning to the production room in a hurry, he quickly summoned He Jiong and Li Xiang to add a regular guest. What he needed more was the opinion of the host.

"Is he really unwilling?" After listening to Yang Zhi's narration, Li Xiang wasn't too surprised. "I felt that he didn't want to be here when we first met. This result is not surprising."

"Variety shows will indeed bring a lot of inconvenience to actors on the big screen. Many well-known movie stars will not come to variety shows as guests except for promotion." He Jiong also sighed helplessly, "This is the shortcoming of variety shows, not only movies, but also TV It's also the same. Unless he is a comedian himself, but I think Jiang Chen has a lot of heart, and he definitely wants to challenge not only the aspect of being funny."

"It's just a pity that such a good seedling is lost." Li Xiang said regretfully, "To be honest, I have hosted Happy Camp for so many years, and I really think he is the most suitable for this show."

"You think so too?" Yang Zhi gritted his teeth in pain, "Do you really think he didn't perform exceptionally that day? Or did he make a comprehensive arrangement in advance?"

After all, if Yang Zhi didn't grasp such an outstanding talent, he would feel unwilling.
