Chapter 72: It's just waiting for a client who's meant to be.
After all the calls came out.
After several days of publicity and heated discussion.
The second season of "Happy Singles" has finally premiered.
Although stand-up comedy is not the most prominent category in the vast variety show market.
However, it has recently been among the most popular.
Half of the topics involved the cup that someone displayed during a live stream.
Shen Jian's passage: "Kings do not meet, gods have no form."
The very next day, he made himself a trending topic.
This is the first time anyone has ever seen someone make such inspiring and passionate boasting.
Many people online want to know where his confidence comes from.
Many people, however, were more looking forward to seeing him cry after being eliminated in the first round.
Therefore, the first episode of Happy Singles 2 became a highly anticipated event for many people.
Even many people who didn't plan to watch it said online that they wanted to become members so they could at least see the king of pretentiousness.
Of course, deep down they all wanted to see him make a fool of himself.
The topic remained on the trending list for three whole days.
Yang Tianzhen also scolded him for three days.
I just finished giving her some instructions, and she's already causing trouble right after. She's really a handful.
in the office.
Yang Tianzhen handed the documents to the two people in front of her.
"Take a look, everyone. These are the conditions and requirements for the upcoming A visa. They are only slightly adjusted from the previous ones, but they are generally the same. Whoever meets them first can officially upgrade their visa."
Liangmu and Sunwu reached out and took Wenjian's hand, each glancing down at it.
Then both of them frowned slightly.
Sun Wu couldn't help but say, "President Yang, why does the annual income need to reach ten million? I remember it was five million before. Isn't this too high? Even a newcomer who has only been in the industry for a few years might not have this kind of ability."
That's how the market is now. Even established artists, if they're not in the top tier, might not earn as much from a single drama as they did from Shen Jian's previous sponsored content.
Yang Tianzhen nodded in response: "It is a bit high, but with so many newcomers now, the standards naturally cannot be implemented according to the old ones."
However, everyone has an equal opportunity. The resources a company gives to its newcomers will not be more than what it gives to others. It all depends on whether the artist has potential.
Fan base, influence, and commercial potential of works are all complementary; excelling in any one of these aspects will bring substantial returns.
If prosperity is merely superficial and cannot be realized or generate returns, then that's not what the company wants.
Sun Tzu felt somewhat helpless after hearing this.
Although Zhou Zifeng has done well this year, he has gained considerable exposure and a large fan base online.
But decent works have yet to emerge.
Even a minor hit drama as the second male lead would be fine, but I still haven't gotten it.
I've taken on quite a few commercial deals; with some effort, I can earn a few million.
But ten million is definitely not something Zhou Zifeng, with his current status, can afford, considering that his asking price for the entire film was less than 500,000.
While thinking about something, he looked at Liangmu beside him.
"Mr. Liang, aren't you going to say anything? You just listen to me arguing with President Yang, aren't you worried?"
Liangmu looked at Sun Wu: "What's the rush?"
Sun Wu: "What's the rush... Of course, it's an A-level visa! Ten million! Can your illiterate internet celebrity afford that?"
Liangmu shook his head: "I don't know."
Sun Wu: "I didn't know you weren't going to tell General Manager Yang!"
Liangmu: "The rules are all set, just do your best."
Sun Wu laughed angrily: "You seem quite calm and collected. What, have you given up completely? Well, you've been trending on social media lately enough to give you a hard time, but while you may have given up, I haven't."
Liangmu: "We haven't given up. We'll make it to ten million."
"Haha." Sun Wu sneered, "What kind of international joke are you making? That Shen Jian? Oh right, your show aired today, right? Hoping to gain momentum with this buzz?"
Liangmu ignored him and looked at Yang Tianzhen: "Then I'll go and get busy."
Yang Tianzhen nodded: "Okay, go ahead. By the way, the show starts tonight, have Lin Youyou and the others keep an eye on the online activity. Even though there shouldn't be any problems, it's just in case, so we don't have to be scrambling to handle the PR later."
"OK."
After saying that, Liangmu turned and left.
Sun Wu looked at Yang Tianzhen: "President Yang, what do you think..."
Yang Tianzhen: "The standards weren't set by me alone; the company's senior management discussed them. The resource support for A-level signed artists is far higher than this figure, so if an artist doesn't have that kind of monetization potential, why would the company lower the standards?"
"The problem is, none of the new employees in the company can do it."
How do you know no one can do it?
"Really? Who? Shen Jian? That's impossible."
Yang Tianzhen shook her head: "No matter who it is, the final results speak for themselves. If there's nothing else, go ahead, I need to go home too."
Sun Tzu: "Uh... okay."
...
...
It was 9:30 PM.
The launch date for "Happy List" is approaching.
They've already started chatting in the WeChat group.
【Shenjian Business Group (8)】
[Liangmu@Shenjian: The conditions for upgrading have been posted in the group; this will be your goal from now on.]
[Lin Youyou: Holy crap! I need to earn that much money?]
[Yoshiki: Yeah, the company made some adjustments, so it's definitely more difficult now.]
[Shen Jian: Xiao You, didn't you say I'm a god of wealth? What are you afraid of?]
[Lin Youyou: That's ten million! Tell me, as a newbie, when will you ever earn that much to advance your career?]
[Shen Jian: That's easy.]
[Lin Youyou: ?]
[Shen Jian: Why not just raise my asking price to 1000 million, then wait for a client willing to pay, and we can finish the deal immediately.]
[Lin Youyou: ...]
[Ryogi:...]
[Li Si: ...]
[Zhang Shan: ...]
[Yang Tianzhen: ……]
[Master Zhu: Yes.]
Everyone in the group chat looked speechless.
As expected of you, you're really smart.
[Shen Jian: Ah Liang, revise the quote tomorrow.]
[Goodwood: Stop fooling around.]
[Shen Jian: I'm not kidding. Even if it's not ten million, it can't be less than one million, right? Or you can change it to two million. That way, if you take five deals, you can get an A-level contract and access to big resources.]
[Ryogi:...]
[Yang Tianzhen: @Shen Jian! Are you out of your mind again? What nonsense are you talking about? If it really changes to one million, which program team would hire you? Don't apply Mi Xue's case to announcements.]
[Shen Jian: Is that not allowed?]
[Yang Tianzhen: Did the money just fall from the sky? Or is the production team stupid?]
[Shen Jian: That's not certain. What if it's a show hosted by someone who's foolish and has too much money?]
[Yang Tianzhen: ……]
[Ryogi:...]
[Lin Youyou: Oh dear, stop talking, the show has started!]
Lin Youyou interrupted the group chat.
At this time, the variety show section of the iQiyi platform has already updated the full episodes of "King of Comedy Stand-up Comedy Season 2".
The homepage even gave the director a push notification.
Everyone put down what they were doing.
They all clicked on the video and started watching the first episode of the talk show.
And the opening scene has only just begun.
The first wave of comments is coming in strong...
