The era of top influencers that started with illiteracy

Chapter 159: Taking the initiative after the fact

Chapter 159: Taking the initiative after the fact

Sure enough, it was just as the others present had thought.

Wang Hailong's requirements for selecting people are indeed very high.

What he said is actually understandable to everyone.

This was said to Shen Jian at the level of a top-tier celebrity.

To put it bluntly, perhaps his initial plan was never to find an ordinary newcomer.

Moreover, he has already stated that the goal this time is to surpass the previous two seasons.

The usual pattern for a variety show is that a turning point begins around the third season.

The once wildly popular Running Man, or later rap variety shows, all experienced a turning point starting from their third season.

Whether it's good or bad, it all conforms to the three-season law.

But most of them will see a decline.

The first season set the tone, and the second season was basically the peak.

Wang Hailong has great ambitions; he hopes to rise through the ranks, and to achieve his goals, he naturally needs to increase the cost of his guests.

"Director Wang, your request is a bit too difficult."

Li Kun tried to smooth things over.

Wang Hailong smiled and said, "I know that's a bit too high a standard, but I'm not lying. Our goal for the third season is to surpass the first two seasons."

Listening to the conversation.

Yang Tianzhen felt somewhat helpless at this moment.

Before coming here, she was confident that she could get Shen Jian to join, but after hearing Wang Hailong's standards, she suddenly felt that the chances were slim.

Even if Yixin Entertainment uses its connections to help Shen Jian, the final result is unlikely to be a happy one for everyone.

For Shen Jian, what she needs is a foundation for her rise to stardom. If participating in a variety show ultimately leads to a sharp drop in ratings, then things will be very difficult.

Is that all?

I was just thinking about it.

Shen Jian calmly asked, "No other requests?"

After Shen finished speaking, the others stared wide-eyed.

What do you mean by "that's all"?

Do you even know how difficult their requirements are? You haven't even reached the next level yet!

Shen Jian ignored the strange looks from those around him.

Instead, he looked confidently at the director, waiting for a response.

In fact, he was not unaware of how high the standards of these requirements were.

But celebrities, first of all, have to learn to pretend. If they can do it, they can do it; if they can't, they have to. They don't care about the hard or soft power. They'll deal with it after they're in there.

Maybe you'll actually get used to it if you keep pretending.

Wang Hailong raised an eyebrow: "You seem quite confident. Yes, these are my requirements, but Shen Jian, do you think you can meet them?"

Shen Jian nodded: "No problem."

"But you can only talk the talk; how am I supposed to see any real ability in you?"

Shen Jian thought for a moment and said, "How about this, Director, you let me record the first episode as a temporary guest. If the first episode is successful and gets good ratings, then we can sign a permanent contract for the rest. If the first episode doesn't do well, then I naturally won't participate in the rest."

After Shen finished speaking.

Wang Hailong fell into deep thought.

It has to be said that Shen Jian's suggestion sounds pretty good.

First of all, it would be somewhat inappropriate to sign Shen Jian as a permanent member. If his joining is not very effective, it will be difficult to handle the situation later.

However, if Wang Hailong didn't accept him, he felt that it would be somewhat disrespectful to Li Kun.

Ultimately, Tencent is the producer and the platform owner. If they refuse to let an artist join, it will be difficult for them to secure investment in good projects in the future.

Meanwhile, Yixin Entertainment also has Yang Tianzhen on its side. This is a well-known media company in the industry. If you can get along well with them, it will definitely be helpful for your future variety show filming.

Therefore, neither side wanted to push things too far, but they also couldn't just recklessly sign Shen Jian as a regular guest just for the sake of some relationship.

So after much deliberation, given this complicated situation, signing him as a temporary guest for one episode might not be a bad idea.

If the performance is good, the response is positive, and the desired standards are met, then Shen Jian can continue recording the later episodes.

However, if the performance is poor, there is no need to discuss the future, and since it is only one phase, it will not have a significant impact on the overall situation.

After much analysis, Wang Hailong concluded that this was a very good choice.

He has indeed already streamlined the process.

Shen Jianlu was selected in the first round, and then Cheng Yi was selected in the second round. The best candidate was chosen, so that no one was offended, which was relatively flexible.

"good!"

Wang Hailong smiled and nodded: "Shen Jian, since you've said that, I'm willing to give you a chance."

If you can show me what I want, I can give you a full-year permanent residency contract, so let's look at the data.

The discussion between the two sides ended quickly.

Ultimately, after multiple competitors, it was agreed that the first episode would be recorded first.

:

They were all on the bus by the time they left.

Yang Tianzhen finally realized what was happening.

Goodness, what was originally just a chance to get some exposure turned into a whole episode being filmed.

Why does it seem like we're the ones who have the advantage?

On the way back to the company by car.

After thinking for a long time, Yang Tianzhen could only attribute the whole thing to Shen Jian.

This thing can bite into any pancake without opening its mouth.

"So, you had this planned in advance?"

Yang Tianzhen didn't blame him; on the contrary, she somewhat agreed with his actions and response this time.

In fact, celebrities need to know how to be flexible.

Since signing a contract for the entire season seems to be causing difficulties for the other party, it would be better to secure the recording of the first episode first, and then gradually explore some room for maneuver.

This can be considered a case of striking after the enemy has made a move.

"No, I just said whatever came to mind, and he actually agreed."

"Yes, this is indeed a very good choice. The company will give you absolute support and will increase its efforts in packaging and operation, including the marketing of your persona. The company's main team will take over later, so in the coming time, we will prepare well and strive to make you a complete breakout star after the first episode is recorded."

And don't worry, even the smallest splash you make will be magnified by the company.

Yang Tianzhen's words were relatively tactful.

To put it bluntly, in outdated terms, the company is going to increase its efforts to promote him.

That's how celebrities are; the more hype they get, the more popular they become, the more traffic they generate, and the more resources they receive.

Of course, packaging also requires costs, but these are all included in the A-signing contract and should be given to the artist as an investment.

"Sister Yang, I've been thinking about it, and I think we should still mention the price to them."

"They're already being kind by letting you get into the first episode, and you're asking them for money?"

Shen Jian shook his head and then said, "I understand the ways of the world, right? I can appear in the first episode for free, but I can't come back empty-handed for the rest of the season."

"————" Yang Tianzhen rolled her eyes: "Are you really that confident you'll stay?"

Shen Jian smiled and said, "Yes, what Director Wang mentioned doesn't seem too difficult, does it?"

Yang Tianzhen:
