Chapter 115 Everything is equal in front of Cheng Cheng
After the dinner, Cheng Cheng and the other four returned to the hotel, waiting to return to the capital early the next morning.
As news of the Golden Film Awards spread online, it set off a stir in the entire industry.
In the industry, the new force represented by Cheng Cheng has become a force that cannot be ignored. Countless art students, students from major film academies, or newcomers to the industry want to work under him and dream of becoming famous.
All brokerage companies, big and small, are paying attention to him and dare not underestimate him.
Outside the industry, Cheng Cheng has several more halos and has almost broken away from the barriers of an ordinary star and become a force of capital.
But what netizens talked about most was not the fact that the creative team of "All or Nothing" won four awards in a row, but Cheng Cheng's series of performances at the awards ceremony, such as "Cheng Cheng passed a note to Lu Zhuofeng", "walked to the podium in slow motion", "thanked himself four times", "thanked himself for his humility", "asked other stars to help him walk his dog", and "recruited investors at the Golden Film Awards".
There are so many outrageous actions that netizens are going crazy!
All major portal websites such as Zhihu, Weibo, X站, Tieba, Douyin, and Kuaishou have all fallen!
"There are so many complaints, I don't know how to start!"
"Hahahaha, that's crazy! You're even passing notes. Cheng Cheng, are you a kid?"
"Cheng Cheng's subtext: This award is what I deserve!"
"It can be seen that Cheng Cheng really wants to thank me."
"When I saw Cheng Cheng walking towards the stage in slow motion, my cerebellum shrank! How dare he do this? He must be very strong mentally to dare to do such a thing under the gaze of more than a thousand pairs of eyes."
"It's not okay for a mentally ill person not to be strong mentally!"
"I can't help it, I'm dying of laughter, hahaha! These celebrities finally felt that Cheng Cheng was going crazy, hahaha!"
"It's like a big catfish broke into the goldfish pond, running around like crazy. It's so fun to watch!"
"Indeed, it's so cool. What's so great about being a celebrity? Everything is equal in front of Cheng Cheng!!!"
"I just like to see Cheng Cheng not afraid of anyone and going crazy alone!"
"I was laughing so hard in bed late at night that I crawled like a maggot. Hahahaha. This year's Golden Film Awards will probably go down in history!"
"People will never forget the fear of being dominated by Cheng Cheng that day!"
"Okay, okay, I knew it would be fun with Cheng Cheng here, hahaha~"
"Isn't the entertainment industry supposed to entertain the public? I think that's great!"
"Kill everyone equally hahahahahahahahahahaha the main point is just going crazy hahahahahahaha"
"He really has a feeling that he doesn't care about anyone's life and will no longer be in the circle soon."
"I won't watch it unless he's invited next year."
"The Golden Film Awards should give Cheng Cheng a thumbs up. In recent years, the Golden Film Awards have become less and less valuable. If it weren't for Cheng Cheng, I wouldn't even pay attention to this year's Golden Film Awards."
"Cheng Cheng not only caused a big stir at the Golden Film Awards, but also snuck in to win four awards hahaha."
There are too many hot spots, and netizens said they can’t keep up with them all!
As more videos and photos from the scene were leaked, the humor level immediately rose several levels, because netizens found that the expressions and reactions of the stars at the scene were so funny, especially when Cheng Cheng walked onto the stage in slow motion, the expressions of the stars below the stage were so wonderful!
"Why do I see a doting smile on Lu Zhuofeng's face?!"
"Ningshan's expression is so funny, hahahaha. Look how scared our brother Shan is."
"Wang Di is simply my face replacement!"
Some netizens stitched together all the stunned screenshots of the stars into one photo, which went viral on various social media platforms, with netizens expressing their opinions:
I don’t want to watch any award ceremony, just show me all the stars’ reactions!
Because of Cheng Cheng, the attention to this year's Golden Film Awards was four or five times higher than in previous years. Wang Di, a third- or fourth-tier celebrity, also became a little famous because of an emoticon package that went viral. Even he himself did not expect that he could become famous in this way!
At the same time, Cheng Cheng’s speech when he won the Best New Director Award also caused quite a stir in the television circle.
Although Cheng Cheng's words were a little incoherent, it seemed that everything he said to the public had basically come true, which made some people interested.
Putting CCTV aside, nowadays, the structure of Tianxia TV is basically divided into:
Stand out from the crowd.
——Xiangjiang TV
Xiangjiang TV’s unique program.
Its most powerful thing is not just the hit dramas and variety shows, but the courage to try new things and the sharp vision, and the strong post-production team. Half of Tianxia's domestic entertainment talent shows come from Xiangjiang, and even Cheng Cheng came from Xiangjiang Satellite TV.
It also has the largest audience group and is especially popular among young people. The only thing that can defeat it is the policies introduced by the government.
Three pillars.
——Wushan TV, Magic City TV, Jiangnan TV
These three satellite TV stations each have highly competitive programs.
Currently, most of the most discussed variety shows come from Wushan TV. For example, "Chasing the Wind, Youngsters" where Cheng Cheng was a regular guest is from Wushan TV.
Jiangnan TV is filled with a pink atmosphere and is particularly fond of large-scale blind date shows and celebrity CP love shows. The program positioning is relatively clear, and it gives people a feeling of "even if the sky falls and the earth collapses, I still want to fall in love."
Shanghai TV once competed with Xiangjiang TV, but this TV station had more outrageous operations. The station director liked to micro-manipulate the program and ended up ruining his own program.
In addition, there are local princes such as Dijing Satellite TV, Fengxing Satellite TV, etc., and declining aristocrats such as Tianjin Satellite TV, Taiyue Satellite TV, etc.
Although these TV stations cannot compare to "East is Red" and "Three Kingdoms", they are old and strong stations with strong foundation and decent ratings. Although their overall ranking is not very high, they also have a large fan base.
Other TV stations are in a miserable situation and can’t even make a name for themselves.
They are the kind of TV stations that won't even stop watching when you turn on the TV. It's not that they don't want to make variety shows, but first, they don't have good planners and director teams, and second, they can't invite well-known stars.
Therefore, even if the station often gives tasks and targets, it is of no avail. It is like a good cook cannot cook without rice.
Huo Xiwen, the director of Fu Hai TV, is in his prime of 43 years old this year and was recently promoted to director.
He is young and strong, and is in the golden period of his life. In addition, as Fuhai City is a relatively economically developed region, the demand and expectations for the cultural and entertainment industries are naturally rising.
Therefore, not only he himself, but the province also hopes that he can achieve results that match its status as an economically strong province. Even if he cannot stand out and dominate the national television stations, he can at least secure a seat for himself.
After seeing the leaked clips from the Golden Film Awards, Huo Xiwen thought for a long time and called the Fuhai City Propaganda Department:
"Hey, Lao Cao, I have something I want to ask you."
Cao Deman's cheerful voice came from the phone:
"Hey, Lao Huo, do you have anything else to ask me? The sun is really rising from the west, please tell me! I'm listening!"
Hearing Cao Deman's voice of a villain succeeding, Huo Xiwen cursed inwardly and continued:
"I saw Cheng Cheng soliciting investment from TV stations across the country at the Golden Film Awards, saying that he also wanted to get involved in variety shows. It just so happened that our station just approved a budget. Haven't you worked with him before? Tell me who he is and whether there is any opportunity for cooperation. Analyze it for me."
"Old Huo, you are confused!" he said on the phone.
Huo Xiwen was stunned for a moment and asked, "Huh? Why are you confused?"
Cao Deman said:
"What I mean is that you shouldn't have called me! Old Huo! Don't you think about how popular Cheng Cheng is now? Even I, an old antique, know that he wants to host a variety show. How can he not do it? With his appeal alone, this show is enough. There will be countless people in the entertainment industry who will participate in this show because of him. So, you should act first! You are still wasting time calling me. Now, maybe someone has gotten there first!"
Huo Xiwen thought: Damn, Lao Cao is right!
He has fallen into a misconception!
As a station director, the first thing he thought about was the specific format and content of the program. He was worried about whether the program was well made and whether it was creative. Instead, he ignored Cheng Cheng's appeal and market influence.
"What you said makes sense!" Huo Xiwen said, "Old Cao, you understand, but I still want to ask one more question, is it really possible for Cheng Cheng to run a good variety show? His influence and appeal are unquestionable, but after all, variety show production is a systematic project."
Cao Deman laughed on the phone:
"Old Huo, you are being too cautious, but I understand. When Cheng Cheng first started working with us, I had similar concerns. But it turns out that we were overthinking. He may be a bit crazy, but think about it, is there anything he can do that he can't get done?"
Huo Xiwen thought for a long time, then said hesitantly, "It seems... not?"
Cao Deman: "That's right, there isn't any!"
Huo Xiwen suddenly understood: "Okay, okay, let's not talk too much, I'll hang up first. Lao Cao, send me Cheng Cheng's phone number, I'll call Cheng Cheng right away."
After hanging up the phone, Huo Xiwen quickly received Cheng Cheng's phone number sent by Cao Deman. He called him immediately, feeling nervous and anxious while waiting.
After a few rings, a female voice came from the phone: "Sorry, the number you dialed is busy."
broken!
Florence Hui's heart tightened, thinking that maybe what Lao Cao said was right and someone had already got there first?
He didn't give up. After several calls were answered with "call in progress" every time, the last call finally went through.
A young male voice came from the phone: "Hello, the call you dialed has been connected, please follow the voice prompts--"
Huo Xiwen sweated a little. He could tell that it was Cheng Cheng's voice: "Mr. Cheng Cheng, I called to--"
Cheng Cheng's voice interrupted him: "Hello, the call you made has been connected. Please follow the voice prompts--"
You're crazy! Can you please stop pretending?
Huo Xiwen forced himself to listen.
"To seek cooperation, please beep three times.
For personal attacks, please include your name, home address, workplace, and start after brushing your teeth.
If you have nothing to do and call me, please hang up directly. "
Huo Xiwen said quickly: "Cheng Cheng, I want to seek cooperation."
"To seek cooperation, please beep three times. To return to the previous directory, please press the asterisk key. To return to the main menu, please press the pound key."
Huo Xiwen was speechless. What I mean is, does it have to be "duh"?
The person on the other end of the line has already started urging: "Please follow the voice prompts, otherwise the call will automatically hang up in ten seconds."
"Wait a minute!" Huo Xiwen shouted hurriedly, then glanced at the tightly closed office. Seeing that no one would come in, he brought the phone closer, suppressed his inner shame, and said to the phone:
"Toot, toot, toot."
After he finished beeping, he breathed a sigh of relief.
"Seeking cooperation in film and television, please continue to beep three times.
Seeking cooperation in variety shows, please dudu dudu dudu dudu dudu.
Seeking cooperation for the evening party, please beep for a full minute.
seek"
Huo Xiwen is crazy, how could there be more!!!
How long is your fucking directory?
Also, how much do you like "Du"? !
He followed the voice instructions step by step and finally completed the entire process.
"Hello, we are transferring you to human service... We are transferring you, please wait..."
Music came out of Cheng Cheng's mouth.
Huo Xiwen's defense was broken!
Blanch!
Don’t imitate this!
