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

"...The significance of 'Operation Spark' is to draw the general public's attention to poverty-stricken areas by converting the traffic of celebrity artists into poverty alleviation energy, expand the visibility of poverty-stricken areas, enhance the influence of local resources, and then bring poverty-stricken areas to poverty-stricken areas." Resource advantages are transformed into economic advantages..."

In less than an hour, dozens of well-known artists, including Dong Qiuping, Zhang Jiaming, and Wang Muyao, as well as many TV station official accounts and official media, liked and reposted the press release on the official WeChat account of Dongchuan TV Station. Request to join "Operation Spark" and be willing to contribute a small amount to poverty alleviation.

As of 48 hours after the release of the press release, "Operation Spark" related topics on Aiwei have been read more than 20 billion times, and related topics have been on the hot search list many times, arousing widespread social attention.

At the center of the "Operation Spark" storm, Dongchuan TV Station, the busy scene was no different from the past.

But in an inconspicuous office on the floor of the variety show department, Wang Gaoming, a well-known producer and genius variety show director, was looking at Li Yichen sitting opposite him with a smile.

After a long time, Wang Gaoming took the initiative to refill Li Yichen's cup of tea.

"Xiaochen..."

Chapter 314 A friendly variety show

If Wang Gaoming were smiling like this and even pouring himself water diligently, Li Yichen would definitely get up and leave.

So scary.

But this time it's a little different.

Because tracing back to the origin, the inspiration for the "Spark Movement", a poverty alleviation charity activity, came from Li Yichen's signing with Fuhua Island. If it takes longer, it can be traced back to Wang Gaoming's program team's decision to buy Fuhua Island The private house we were talking about, or a little longer, we have to start with the cabin in Denfeng Forest.

In short, thanks to the joint efforts of many parties and various opportunities, the tourism industry of Fuhua Island, which was originally remote and had a serious population outflow, achieved rapid development in a short period of time. Afterwards, Li Yichen decided to accept Fuhua Island's employment as his When he was a tourism ambassador, he said, "If you can transform your traffic into energy for poverty alleviation," the keen Wang Gaoming captured the shining point.

There is no doubt about Wang Gaoming's execution ability. After various promotions and meetings, Dongtuan TV Station and the three provinces jointly launched "Operation Spark".

Therefore, Li Yichen is very familiar with the origin and significance of "Operation Spark". Before Dongchuan TV released the press release, Li Yichen and Wang Gaoming participated in an internal discussion meeting at the TV station. At that time, he planned to voluntarily join "Operation Spark" .

In private, Li Yichen also brainstormed with Wang Gaoming and several directors and deputy directors of his program team, and put forward some of his own insights and opinions on charity variety shows.

Li Yichen never attended the subsequent variety show planning meeting, so he didn't know what kind of variety show Wang Gaoming would eventually come up with, and he was still a little uneasy.

Charity variety shows should not be able to endure hardship anymore...

Otherwise, after the program is broadcast, the audience will see that it is so difficult and tiring to go to this place, and it will accidentally serve as reverse propaganda, which will violate the original intention of "Operation Spark".

"Director Wang, just tell me."

Li Yichen looked stern but felt sad. He held the tea cup with both hands and took a sip, trying to suppress his uneasiness.

"Relax, relax."

Wang Gaoming saw Li Yichen's nervousness and comforted him: "This charity variety show will be different from our previous outdoor variety shows. The previous ones may have been a little bit hard... but this one must be very friendly. , a very happy variety show.”

"That's great."

Li Yichen did not believe Wang Gaoming's words. He still remembers that before recording "The Cabin in the Forest", Wang Gaoming told him that it was a eating and broadcasting variety show, and the main theme of the show was to find the meaning of happiness...

"Would I lie to you?"

Wang Gaoming was a little sad. He never told lies. He was a well-known honest man. Sometimes when he said hello, others would give him a thumbs up. Even the director of the station praised him, "Director Wang is great." "Talent", has he ever been proud? Never!

"Then what is this variety show going to do?"

Li Yichen's question goes to the core.

"cough……"

Wang Gaoming took a sip of tea in embarrassment. Li Yichen didn't do this anymore. He was not cute at all.

"You also contributed to this variety show."

Wang Gaoming considered his words: "Do you still remember what you said at the discussion meeting, 'It is best for public welfare variety shows to go deep into the local humanities'? We later extended and expanded your suggestion a little bit during the meeting... …”

"Really?"

"That's right, little by little, we go deep into the local area, help local elderly people look after their homes, and complete some fishery, agriculture, animal husbandry and other related work."

"anything else?"

"There are also small things like cooking for yourself. It doesn't matter. You are the best at this, Xiaochen."

"..."

Li Yichen thought for a moment, and it seemed that there was nothing wrong with what Wang Gaoming said. He had appeared in so many outdoor variety shows, and it seemed that except for "Sisters Over Flowers", he had cooked in other shows.

Even in the begging program "Please Give Me a Meal", he occasionally helps the host's family to cook. Netizens ridiculed him: "I have to cook all the food I beg for."

Traditional arts are everywhere.

"Fishing, farming and animal husbandry, this fishing, is it fishing?"

Li Yichen was slightly looking forward to it. He hadn't fished for a long time and felt that his skills were quite rusty.

"If there are villages such as streams and rivers and you want to fish, the program team can provide tools."

Wang Gaoming promised.

"Does fishing equipment include bait?"

Li Yichen had suffered a loss in this regard and asked in particularly detail.

"Well...well, there should be a lot of earthworms, grasshoppers and the like in rural areas. For the sake of the fun of the show, it's best if you do it yourself."

Wang Gaoming may have felt that his statement was not convincing to Li Yichen, so he added: "This variety show will also invite other guests. You can ask other guests to help."

"Hey, are there any other guests?"

Li Yichen's eyes lit up and he said happily: "How many are there? How many?"

"About five, the specific list has not been finalized yet. Many artists have expressed their intention to contribute to 'Operation Spark' online, so it should be easier to invite guests."

In fact, even if it is not a charity variety show under "Operation Spark", it is a new variety show co-operated by Wang Gaoming and Li Yichen, the ace variety show duo. As long as the news is released, celebrity artists who want to occupy a position in the new variety show will be overwhelmed. .

The ease in Wang Gaoming's words means that it is easier to invite first-line or top stars like Wang Muyao.

Li Yichen did not think deeply about the "relaxation" mentioned by Wang Gaoming, and his thoughts turned to how to handle the guests.

"If there are a lot of people, we can do some grouping or games and let others dig for earthworms and catch grasshoppers..."

After thinking about it for a while, Li Yichen basically accepted the new comprehensive proposed by Wang Gaoming.

There is another aspect of this charity variety show that needs to be carefully discussed, and that is the acting fee.

Li Yichen originally thought that since it was a charity variety show, there would be no acting fee, but he was immediately scolded by Wang Gaoming.

In Wang Gaoming's words, public welfare is public welfare, and performance fees are performance fees. There is no inevitable connection between the two.

The amount and payment method of the performance fee can be further discussed, but the host and guests must receive the performance fee. Even if it changes hands and is donated to charity, that is the guest's own business.

"The conditions you negotiated when you signed the contract with Fuhua Island were very good. Why are you confused now? Do you think the purpose of 'Operation Spark' is to take advantage of the celebrity's traffic, so which one is more important, the quality of the program or the appearance fee? "

"Not everyone is like you and is really willing to give up the acting fee."

"Other celebrities have a lot of teams to support. Once you make such a decision and it spreads, it is equivalent to indirectly kidnapping other guests and their teams. On the one hand, it offends people, and it takes a lot of work to record the show. It’s really deadly trouble.”

Wang Gaoming took a rare opportunity to educate Li Yichen and talked to him for more than half an hour.

Chapter 315 "The Birth of a Family"

Li Yichen knew that Wang Gaoming really cared about him, so he listened carefully to his nagging without any intention of interrupting.

After Wang Gaoming's persuasion, Li Yichen also realized that his previous plan to give up the acting fee was indeed a bit ill-conceived, but he also had his own considerations. This matter could not be paid in full as Wang Gaoming said. Collect performance fees, otherwise once word spreads, all the celebrities who participated in "Operation Spark" will be questioned by the outside world as a show, and they will be stigmatized for doing charity, which will be even more detrimental than gain.

Therefore, Li Yichen has now decided to use a compromise plan, which is to voluntarily reduce the price of the performance and then donate part of the performance fee, just like he did when he signed a contract with Fuhua Island. This approach must be accepted by most celebrity artists.

As for the remaining few artists who still resent Li Yichen, it must be because they really want to put on a show, and Li Yichen doesn't bother to associate with those people.

He doesn't have the obsessive-compulsive idea of ​​wanting everyone to like him, which is unrealistic.

After a hundred years of life, it is already difficult to be yourself and have a clear conscience.

After a few more minutes, Wang Gaoming finally stopped talking because he was thirsty. Li Yichen took advantage of Wang Gaoming's tea to discuss his compromise plan with him. The two discussed and added some details. The acting fee was The matter finally has a complete solution.

"Taking into account the schedule of the guests, we prefer one day and one night for the recording time of this charity variety show. We will arrive at the destination around [-] o'clock on Saturday. After accepting the entrustment of the local elderly, we will immediately start making lunch, complete the task in the afternoon and evening, and spend the night , after breakfast the next day, the recording will end before noon.”

"One day and one night is fine, but will it make you feel top-heavy?"

Li Yichen is also keen on variety show production: "If there is no special plan for breakfast on Sunday, then the focus of editing will definitely be tilted to Saturday."

"Um……"

Wang Gaoming and the others didn't take this into consideration when they held the production meeting. Now after being reminded by Li Yichen, he also felt that it was inappropriate. If Zhou Tian's breakfast was not interesting, it was destined to be edited out and would not have a publicity effect. What's the point of allowing those already very busy guests to record an extra half-day program?

The time of guests, program crew, and everyone is precious.

Wang Gaoming pondered for a moment and asked, "Xiao Chen, what do you think?"

Li Yichen pushed the frame and had some hazy thoughts in his mind. He considered, "I think this breakfast session can also be set up as a task competition, such as using a loudspeaker to force the guests to wake up when they are sleeping. Before they wake up and their heads are dazed, they will conduct knowledge questions and answers. The last guest who did not answer the question correctly is responsible for making breakfast, and the others can continue to go back to sleep..."

"it is good!"

Wang Gaoming was overjoyed. Just after listening to Li Yichen's general remarks, he had a lot of ideas for the breakfast session. He automatically made up for it and looked forward to it: "This session is fine. It's so interesting. What time do you think is the right time to get up?"

"05:30?" Li Yichen said without thinking.

"You, are you serious?"

Li Yichen used to get up early, so the program team only had to lose one photographer, and if the weather was too high, they would only add two more people.

But if this breakfast session is to be recorded in the future, it means that not only the guests will have to get up at 05:30 to curse, but the program staff will have to get up as early as 04:30, or even 03:30 to prepare for filming.

Think again.

Everyone except Li Yichen had to suffer when doing this breakfast task.

Wang Gaoming had every reason to suspect that Li Yichen was secretly retaliating against the program team.

It simply makes those who hear it cry and feel crazy!

"This is all for the show and publicity!"

Li Yichen saw Wang Gaoming giving him a suspicious look and felt a little sad: "What bad intentions can I have?"

"I……"

Wang Gaoming opened his mouth wide, feeling that this scene seemed familiar.

……

Friday, July [-]th.

Just three days after DongTuan TV announced "Operation Spark", its official WeChat account quickly updated a follow-up press release.
