Participated in a love variety show and was forced to debut and rise! /You are a variety artist

All artists under Times Film and Television who want to apply to appear in Wang Gaoming's program.

Whether you are a new contract signer who wants to apply to participate in the second season of "Love Hunters", or a first-line female artist who wants to apply to participate in the second season of "Sisters Over Flowers", or you want to apply to participate in the third season of "The Cabin in the Woods" second-tier artist.

Without exception, the reply I received was: “Looking forward to our next cooperation.”

Even the slowest person can realize that there must be something wrong here.

What Times Film and Television is more afraid of is actually another thing, that is, whether the actions of Wang Gaoming's program team are limited to the program team, or whether there is an instruction from Dongchuan TV Station behind it.

If there is an instruction from Eastern Television, will it be limited to Eastern Television, or will it be spread to all Eastern Television's partner TV stations?

The water here is too deep, and it is a restricted area that no entertainment company dares to enter.

As for the person involved, Wei Kai, there was nothing he could do except lose his hair and speak harshly.

What he can secretly hope for now is that Li Yichen is just a shooting star that will soon disappear in the entertainment industry.

In that case, as time goes by and people forget about it, the small crisis in his career will be automatically resolved.

"No way? No way? No one really believes that Li Yichen can get up, right?"

Chapter 179 Take a Step to Talk

Wednesday.

Li Yichen had been busy all morning and was going to stop what he was doing and go to the TV station's cafeteria for dinner.

Of course, I didn’t forget to call Wu Zhi next to me.

"My nephew, are you going to eat?"

"Let's go, let's go, I'm starving to death."

Wu Zhi said expectantly: "I wonder what good dishes there are in the canteen today."

Li Yichen smiled and said: "Master Huang told me yesterday that today is a set of braised chicken, shredded chicken and minced chicken rice. Choose one of the three."

In the staff canteen of Eastern TV Station, lunch and dinner are provided free of charge, which is delicious and hygienic. It is considered a benefit provided by the TV station to its employees.

In the staff canteen, we often meet the heads of various departments and even the director of the TV station, sometimes having meetings while eating.

Therefore, in the nearly ten years since Eastern TV Station was established in this area, it has gradually crowded out most of the surrounding restaurants.

The only ones left are dessert shops, coffee shops and the like, suitable for leisure and entertainment.

Because there are too many employees at the TV station, meals are staggered during peak hours. Even so, it is almost one o'clock in the afternoon. When Li Yichen and Wu Zhi walked into the staff canteen, it was still bustling with people and extremely lively.

Li Yichen took a dinner plate, walked to the dining table, and greeted the chefs inside skillfully.

"Brother Huang, give me an extra spoonful of shredded chicken..."

"it is good."

Although Huang Kaian was wearing a chef's mask, he didn't say much and just scooped an extra spoonful of shredded chicken to Li Yichen.

Li Yichen thanked him and went to find an empty seat happily.

Wu Zhi, who was following Li Yichen, saw that Li Yichen chose the shredded chicken set meal for lunch today. He knew that Li Yichen's choice was definitely the right one, so he followed suit without hesitation.

While eating, Wu Zhi couldn't help but bring up the hottest topic in the TV station recently, the year-end awards ceremony.

"I heard that the TV station's year-end awards ceremony will set up the Best Screenwriter Award and the Newcomer Screenwriter Award. To be honest, have you ever imagined it?"

Wu Zhi joked that everyone in the entire propaganda department knew that Li Yichen had written a script that would be made into a TV series. They had been clamoring for a long time to treat Li Yichen.

Li Yichen also wanted to treat him, but he has been unavailable on weekends recently, so he could only put it off.

"Of course there is. Aren't awards just for people's imagination? I really hope that at the second awards ceremony next year, I can have a chance to win the Newcomer Screenwriter Award."

Li Yichen admitted it openly without any hesitation.

But it’s just longing.

With the current status and strength of Eastern TV Station, one or two popular phenomenon-level TV series will emerge almost every year.

Although the year-end awards ceremony is positioned as an internal TV station ceremony of an entertainment nature, it is foreseeable that the competition between each award will be fierce.

Li Yichen knows that whether he has a chance to win next year's New Screenwriter Award depends not only on himself, but also on the entire "My Love from the Star" crew.

Almost all of his work as a screenwriter has been completed, and he can only rely on his teammates for the remaining work other than screenwriting.

If "My Love from the Star" is tepid after it airs, then he must be cool too.

"Xiao Chen is right. The awards are set up for everyone to strive for."

Across the dining table, Yu Zhengcheng, the director of "I Am a Singer" suddenly interrupted.

"It's a pity that there is no variety show newcomer award. Otherwise, according to Xiaochen's hot performance in variety shows this year, you will definitely deserve this award."

"Haha, the Best Variety Show Award must go to Director Yu..."

Li Yichen still knows how to trade blows in business.

If this was half a year ago, Yu Zhengcheng would have accepted this compliment without hesitation.

After all, "I Am a Singer" has been Dongguan TV's number one variety show for the past three years.

But now, "Sisters Over Flowers" came out of the blue, directly knocking their program from the top variety show spot on Dongchuan TV Station.

Moreover, Li Yichen appeared in "Sisters Over Flowers".

This guy deserves a beating.

Yu Zhengcheng smiled bitterly. Although the reputation of "I Am a Singer" has improved in the fourth season after this year's revision, the follow-up is still weak.

As the director of this show, Yu Zhengcheng can only watch the show decline.

Because I really can’t find a suitable singer.

There are only a few capable veteran singers who can be hired.

Other big-name singers cannot be invited no matter how much they are invited.

After all, although "I Am a Singer" is the most professional variety show, it is still essentially a variety show, which requires a lot of highlights and variety effects. The final win or loss is not necessarily a reflection of strength.

Moreover, one singer is selected every season, and now in the fourth season, the program team has been forced to use new generation singers to make up the number.

It can be said that the original "I Am a Singer" atmosphere of singing new songs and intense competition has slowly disappeared.

Yu Zhengcheng has seen many complaints from netizens, and most of them are "frivolous rice", "nothing new", "don't do it if it can't be done", etc., revealing his doubts and disappointment about the program.

Speaking of which, Li Yichen still participated in the revision of the fourth season of "I Am a Singer".

It's just that at that time, Yu Zhengcheng's focus was all on the show, and he didn't pay serious attention to Li Yichen.

Unexpectedly, he was discovered by Wang Gaoming.

Thinking of this, Yu Zhengcheng couldn't help but feel a little regretful.

Wang Gaoming had boasted in front of them more than once that he was Li Yichen's boss.

It was obviously him, Yu Zhengcheng, who found Li Yichen first.

"Xiaochen, you've finished lunch and you have nothing else urgent to do, right?"

"No, Director Yu, do you need help with something?"

Li Yichen asked curiously.

"Well, I have something to do. Let's do this. After lunch, I'll buy you a cup of coffee."

"This...how can Director Yu spend money..."

"Which coffee shop should we go to?"

……

In the coffee shop, in addition to Li Yichen and Yu Zhengcheng, the two main creators of "I Am a Singer" were also together.

Li Yichen had met these two before.

This unexpected posture made Li Yichen feel that this cup of coffee was not easy to drink.

Sure enough, Yu Zhengcheng directly told Li Yichen about the current difficulties of "I Am a Singer".

In his words, he hopes that he will once again stand from the perspective of an "outsider" and give suggestions to the program.

Li Yichen participated in the revision of the fourth season of "I Am a Singer" and is very aware of the problems encountered by this show.

It can be said that for an "old program" that has been around for four years, it is simply impossible to revise it to maintain its original flavor while still being rejuvenated.

This is also the last resort method that Li Yichen proposed before to "invite new generation singers" at the expense of the original flavor.

In fact, Li Yichen knew at that time that Yu Zhengcheng and his creative team had already had the idea of ​​"inviting new generation singers".

It's just that as the main creative team, "I Am a Singer" has gathered too much of their efforts, so it has been difficult to make a decision.

In the end, it was only through the mouth of Li Yichen, an "outsider", that they could tell the revision options they already knew.

Chapter 180 If you don’t want to see your face, just cover it up

Opposite the dining table.

Yu Zhengcheng saw Li Yichen deep in thought and full of expectations.

When the fourth season of "I Am a Singer" was revised, it was precisely because their program team had already had the idea of ​​"inviting new generation singers", so at that time, they did not pay much attention to Li Yichen who made this suggestion. .

I just simply thought, ah, we had thought about this idea last year, more than once.

That's it?

They themselves are the original team and know the program they have been working on for three years. It can be said that they have thought of all the suggestions for revision that outsiders can think of.

But now, when Yu Zhengcheng looked back, he suddenly discovered that it only took Li Yichen a few weeks to come up with the same idea as them and find the only feasible direction for revision. That vision and decisiveness, indeed impressive.

Fortunately, it's not too late to find out now.

Wang Gaoming discovered Li Yichen's talent as a variety show host and did front-of-stage work.

Then I will dig into Li Yichen's variety show planning abilities and go behind the scenes.

There is no conflict at all.

Of course, if Li Yichen's variety show planning can meet the two key points of "music" and "indoor" that their team is good at, then it is not impossible for the new variety show to directly invite Li Yichen to be the host.
