Chapter 244 Returning to China, Wang Hong is in trouble
"Orange, I will be back home during the Chinese New Year. Remember to take good care of yourself and remember to think of me~"

In the car, Jiang Nan gave Cheng Cheng instructions.

After the relationship breakthrough, Jiang Nan became a little more attached to Cheng Cheng.

"Yeah." Cheng Cheng nodded, "I will miss you. Your father and I will wait for you to come back."

Why does this sentence sound weird?

As Jiang Wang's only daughter, Jiang Nan stayed in the peninsula not only for her own star career, but also to manage the work of God Company.

God has just been established and needs someone who can keep things under control.

"And don't do any dangerous things again." Jiang Nan was worried and couldn't help but say.

Cheng Cheng was not righteous but confident: "Don't worry, it won't happen. I have been warned by the skydiving committee! I can't jump anymore!"

Not only was Cheng Cheng warned by the skydiving committee, but Bandao was also criticized and warned by skydiving associations in many countries.

The reason is that Peninsula failed to fulfill its supervisory responsibilities, failed to effectively supervise the qualifications of its members, and allowed uncertified people to engage in high-risk night skydiving activities, which seriously violated industry norms and safety principles.

Jiang Nan tapped Cheng Cheng's nose: "You deserve it~ Only you dare to do this!"

Cheng Cheng grabbed her hand and said, "When I pass the exam, I will take you to tandem skydiving and I will be your skydiver."

Jiang Nan: "Ah, really?"

Cheng Cheng said: "Of course, let's go to Fuhai to jump. There's the sky above and the ocean below. The sky and the ocean are the same color."

Jiang Nan was a little moved: "It won't be dangerous, right?"

Cheng Cheng raised his eyebrows: "Why, are you scared?"

Jiang Nan shook off his hand: "Nonsense, only ghosts are afraid, I am Jiang Nan, my wife has a big butt, I am not afraid, whoever is afraid is a puppy!"

Cheng Cheng: "Are you really not afraid?"

Jiang Nan puffed out his chest: "Of course not! If you are not afraid, then I am not afraid either! Who am I? I am one year older than you, you should call me sister~"

Cheng Cheng thought she was cute, so he rubbed her face, turning her collagen-filled face into a grimace. Jiang Nan also tickled him, and the two of them played around intimately for a while. Cheng Cheng said:

"Then I'm leaving~"

Jiang Nan was a little reluctant: "Yeah~ wait for me to return home~"

"Good~"

"Give me a kiss~"

Cheng Cheng kissed Jiang Nan until she couldn't breathe, then he let her go and got out of the car.

Jiang Nan hurriedly called him back and added:
"Orange, wait, don't tell my dad about us when we get back. Help me keep it a secret from him."

Cheng Cheng was puzzled: "Why?"

Jiang Nan stuck out his tongue and said, "I'm afraid he can't stand it for a while. I'll test his reaction when I get back and then tell him."

Cheng Cheng said: "Okay!"

Tan Yingying got out of another car, helped Cheng Cheng drag the luggage, and followed behind Cheng Cheng.

But just after taking two steps, Cheng Cheng saw a flash of light.

Following the direction, I saw three paparazzi.

Cheng Cheng looked back and found that there were no other stars. He immediately knew that he had been exposed.

Although he was wearing a baseball cap, sunglasses and a mask, the license plate number did not change, and the paparazzi followed the clues and found his whereabouts.

Cheng Cheng smiled, took off his mask and sunglasses, stretched out his hand to Tan Yingying, and asked:

"Is there any cigarette?"

"Ah?" Tan Yingying was stunned for a moment, "Mr. Cheng, you——"

Cheng Cheng: "I want to smoke."

Is this okay?

Tan Yingying didn't dare to stop him. She quickly took out a cigarette from her pocket and handed it to Cheng Cheng.

Cheng Cheng took it and looked at it. It was a long and straight ladies' cigarette.

He didn't care, put it in his mouth, found a lighter from the trash can outside the airport, lit it, took a deep breath, raised his chin in the direction of the paparazzi, and exhaled a puff of smoke.

In the distance, the young man said to the middle-aged man:

"Brother Zai, he has discovered us and is provoking us!"

The middle-aged man was very anxious. He asked the photographer: "Quick, quick, quick! Have you taken the picture?"

The photographer was also very excited and kept saying, "I took the picture!"

When he found out that the video had been taken, the middle-aged man heaved a sigh of relief and had time to answer the young man:
"So what if it's a provocation? He did provide us with material. With just this one shot, I can pay off my mortgage this month!"

Young man: "But his attitude is so annoying!"

As a paparazzi, he felt that he was not respected as he should be.

In other words, which celebrity wouldn’t be terrified upon seeing them?

Why did Cheng Cheng knowingly do something wrong and bump into them? Isn't that too contemptuous?!
The middle-aged man slapped him hard on the head:

"Why are you unhappy? What noble job are you doing? You don't deserve to be unhappy?! We are paparazzi, diggers of entertainment news. Our mission is to dig up first-hand information. As long as we can make the click rate of newspapers and websites soar, satisfy advertisers, and make the bosses make money, then we are successful! I'll even call Cheng Cheng daddy!"

After scolding his apprentice, the middle-aged man called a familiar partner and said:

"President Li, you have no idea what big news I captured. Cheng Cheng smoking! Yes, that Cheng Cheng from Tian Xia... I captured it, all of it!"

On the other side, Cheng Cheng took a few puffs and put out the cigarette.

Not easy to smoke.

Smoking is not fun.

Putting on his mask and sunglasses again, Cheng Cheng walked into the airport.

An hour later, the plane took off.

While still on the plane, Cheng Cheng's smoking video went viral online, first on the Peninsula version of Kuaishou KWAI, as well as Tiktok and YouTube, and then spread to China, Douyin, Weibo, and Bilibili...

Before the video was released, the young man was jealous:
I let you provoke us and disrespect me, and now I will ruin your reputation!
But the reactions of netizens after the video was released were completely different from what he expected!

“Ahhh, he’s smoking a vanilla cream flavored ladies’ cigarette, the contrast is so great!”

No, shouldn’t we be concerned about what kind of cigarettes he smokes?
"Which one? Is it ICE PRESSO?"

"No, it's caster5!"

Damn, do you really care what he smokes?!

"No, smoking is really too much!"

Seeing this comment, the young man was excited. He finally found a comment from a normal person. But the second half of this comment made him collapse: "Why don't you beat me?"

Damn it! ! !

Do you want to see what you are talking about?
And comments:

"Teacher, Cheng Cheng burned my butt with a cigarette butt in the toilet."

"Did you say thank you?"

"Why is he still smoking? I like it even more this way!"

"I wasn't smoking, I was deliberately provoking the paparazzi. The cigarettes were ladies' cigarettes I got from my assistant, and I got the lighter from the trash can."

"I'm afraid the paparazzi will see this look."

Young people’s testimony: Absolutely not!

"The Bking aura that comes from every move is killing me!"

"He is really well behaved. He even flicked the ash in the trash can instead of just anywhere else."

"You make me so handsome!"

The young man was completely desperate!

Are there any normal people among Cheng Cheng’s fans? ! ! !

Celebrities! Smoking! Celebrities smoke in public without any hesitation! Do you have any moral sense? How can you take such a serious matter lightly?

Two hours later, the plane landed and Cheng Cheng was picked up by Li Zhuo.

The smoking incident did not have any impact on him, and Cheng Cheng did not take it seriously at all.

Because he is not a popular idol star. He is a talented person who relies on his works. When the paparazzi said he smoked, the fans would only ask: "What's wrong?"

What's wrong with Cheng Cheng smoking?
I was outdoors, in a place with a smoking sign, and I flicked the ash into the designated place. It didn't affect anyone, so what's wrong with smoking?
He is not a star like Furong Wang who made his fortune by selling positive energy and setting an example for teenagers.

Cheng Cheng has never boasted about his positive energy.

Even Li Zhuo didn't care much about it. He just casually browsed Weibo and stopped paying attention to it.

She also felt that this was not a big deal at all. This problem was not as serious as Cheng Cheng's TV drama being delayed.

Back in the company, in the office, Li Zhuo reported on his work:

"'Inflammable and Explosive' has been handed over to Pei Yue. She is very grateful to President Cheng. The publicity and promotion have been arranged. The promotion will be officially launched in three days and will be online on the ZZ platform in seven days. In addition, we have also contacted a variety show for her to increase her exposure."

Cheng Cheng said: "The arrangement is very good, just follow your plan, and besides-"

Cheng Cheng tapped the table with his fingers, as if thinking.

Li Zhuo: "What's wrong, Mr. Cheng?"

Cheng Cheng asked, "Do you think we should have our own weekly variety show?"

Li Zhuo: "Mr. Cheng, are you talking about variety shows like "Happy Friday Night"? "

Cheng Cheng said: "Yes, otherwise every time we do promotion, we have to appear on other people's programs, which is tantamount to being controlled by others."

The reason why "Happy Camp" in its previous life had such a high status and became an evergreen in the entertainment industry is because "Happy Camp" is a weekly variety show with high immediacy and has formed a brand effect.

Which celebrity in his past life didn't visit Happy Camp after his debut? Which work didn't consider Happy Camp in its publicity?
Even the first-tier and super first-tier stars have appeared on Kuaiben.

In this time and space, the status of "Happy Friday Night" is the same as that of "Happy Camp".

Li Zhuo hesitated and considered his words carefully:

“I think this is a little bit difficult to achieve, right?
We won with creativity and quality in "Masked Singer" and "Who's the Detective", but variety shows like "Happy Friday Night" have been produced by Xiangjiang TV for more than 20 years and have a profound foundation. The core of its model revolves around guest interaction and games, and it has indeed formed a fairly stable audience base and program style.

Under such circumstances, it would be very difficult for us to make similar programs again!
Not only is it because the audience is already quite familiar with the 'game + guest' model and it is difficult to innovate, but also because there is no breakthrough in quality. Xiangjiang TV has already achieved the ultimate. "

Cheng Cheng nodded.

What Li Zhuo said is both right and wrong.

What you’re right about is that “Friday Night Live” has indeed reached its peak, and it’s almost impossible to compete with the same category.

What is wrong is that it is almost impossible, but it does not mean impossible.

After some searching, I found that there really was a variety show in the past that could compete with "Happy Camp"!

That’s “Ace vs. Ace”!
As Blue Channel's flagship variety show, its ratings once surpassed "Happy Camp".

But the success of "Ace vs. Ace" lies not in its program format, but in its lineup of regular guests.

The regular guests of the first three seasons of "Ace" were Bai Baihe and Wang Zulan, and both the Douban score and the ratings were very poor.

The success of "Ace" started after the fourth season when the permanent guests were changed to Shen Teng, Jia Ling, Guan Xiaotong and Hua Chenyu.

Since then, the ratings of "Ace" have been rising, and its Douban score has reached around 7 points.

The program format is easy to make.

"Guan Xiaotong" and "Hua Chenyu" are also easy to find.

For “Guan Xiaotong”, let Nilukzi play, and for “Hua Chenyu”, either Jiang Jun or Zhang Zijie can play.

But where can we find "Shen Teng" and "Jia Ling"?
It is really hard to find a comedian like this who is very popular among the people and can make people laugh as soon as he appears on stage.

Cheng Cheng said: "You are right, let's put this matter on hold for a while, wait a little longer, there is no need to rush."

Li Zhuo: "Okay, Mr. Cheng. In addition, we also held an investment promotion meeting for "The Rumored Chen Qianqian". Yueyanxuan, Zhijie Mobile Phones, and Yishenghuo Furniture have all signed sponsorship contracts. The prices are 30 million, 20 million, and 15 million respectively, depending on the sponsorship level."

Yueyanxuan, Zhijie Mobile Phones, and Yishenghuo Furniture are all old friends of Shenhua Company, and have been cooperating with Cheng Cheng since the Legend of Sword and Fairy.

At that time, Yue Yan Xuan couldn't afford the money, but Cheng Cheng made the decision on his own and changed the three sponsors that were originally decided to be involved to four sponsors, lowered the threshold, and brought Yue Yan Xuan in as well.

Today, Yueyanxuan has become a leading brand in the domestic beauty and cosmetics field.

Cheng Cheng nodded:

"As a new show with new actors, 65 million in sponsorship is enough."

Li Zhuo agreed, "Yes, it's already twice as much as on the market. They gave such a high price entirely out of respect for you, Mr. Cheng."

Cheng Cheng: "Tell them, I won't let them do business at a loss."

There are three ways for TV dramas to make money.

First, sponsorship fees can be collected during the process, and drinks and snacks can be charged for. This is the form of cooperation between Chengcheng and Yueyanxuan, Zhijie Mobile Phones, and Yishenghuo Furniture.

Either appear in the film or in the opening credits.

The second is to package and sell TV series to video platforms and TV stations, and collect copyright fees or profits.

As for where the money of video platforms and TV stations comes from, of course it comes from membership fees, advanced on-demand fees, advertising fees, etc. However, this has nothing to do with the film producers. No matter how much the platform angers the public, it has nothing to do with the film producers, as long as they can share the profits with the film producers.

Third, if the TV series becomes popular, you can make a profit by selling peripheral products, but this is a small profit.

Shinhwa Company has calculated that the cost of producing "The Rumored Chen Qianqian" is only about 50 million yuan, and it has already received 65 million yuan in sponsorship fees. This means that the cost has been recovered before the filming of the TV series even started, so any profit from now on will be pure profit.

In the entire circle, only a few people like Cheng Cheng have such appeal.

Cheng Cheng flipped through the report compiled by Li Zhuo and found that there was no schedule for Wen Lian and Yan Gou'er. He asked, "By the way, what are Wen Lian and Xiao Gou'er busy with recently?"

Li Zhuo: "They refused all notices and activities and secluded themselves. One was studying Jiazhen and the other was studying Ye Wenjie."

Cheng Cheng said: "Then let them study and don't disturb them."

Acting can be divided into "experiential", "method" and "expressive".

The "experiential school"'s requirement for acting is: starting from oneself and living in the role's situation.

The "Method School" is inherited from the Experiential School and also requires actors to achieve subconscious and real reactions, but there is one significant difference: the Method School allows actors to replace their communication partners, while the Experiential School does not.

For example, a straight actor plays a gay role and is asked to fall in love with a man. The method school allows the straight actor to replace his opponent with a woman, while the experiential school requires that you must find the part you love in this homosexual.

"Expressionism" does not emphasize starting from the self, but emphasizes building a "character image" in the mind first and emphasizes imitation.

In simple terms:
Experience-oriented: When I start to deceive others, I can even deceive myself. When I go crazy, I really think I’m crazy.

Method School: I lied to you, but I know I was lying to you.

Expressionist: I'm trying to imitate that person.

Yan Gou'er and Li Zhuo are typical experientialists, so they often get stuck in the play and can't get out. In this faction, the famous ones are basically extremely talented, such as Zhou Xun, Hao Lei, the early Liu Ye, etc.

Cheng Cheng is proficient in all three methods and is not limited to any one school. With the support of the system, he can mobilize multiple methods to complete a suitable performance. He can use it right away and perform it right away. He can finish the performance immediately after performing it. His efficiency is extremely high.

In addition to these three schools, there is also Brecht's acting school, who proposed an alienated acting method that requires actors to not completely merge with the role, but to sometimes be the role and sometimes be themselves.

This is the performance style of Sandra Ng in "Golden Rooster".

As for some crossover actors in the entertainment industry, let alone acting schools, they haven’t even touched the threshold of acting.

After finishing all the affairs, Cheng Cheng began to prepare for the next Korean EP, considering which songs to include.

Not to mention, apart from KPOP, he listens to very few Korean songs, and he really doesn't know which songs would be suitable to add.

Let's see what we win in the lottery...

In the evening, I went home with Li Zhuo.

After the show, Li Zhuo held Cheng Cheng's face and asked, "Boss Cheng, did you take Jiang Nan down as well?"

Cheng Cheng: "How do you know?"

Li Zhuo pouted: "You made such a big move at the concert, how could I not guess it?"

Cheng Cheng positioned her and did it to her vigorously until she was almost torn apart. Then Cheng Cheng held her in his arms, stroked her back, and said:
"Don't worry, you are all my wings~"

Li Zhuo nestled in Cheng Cheng's arms with peace of mind: "Anyway, my life is ruined in your hands."

-

The next morning, Cheng Cheng was wearing an apron and making breakfast.

Li Zhuo was wearing pajamas, barefoot, holding a cell phone, and ran over and said:
"It's bad! Something happened!"

Cheng Cheng: "What are you so nervous about?"

Li Zhuo said quickly:
"Wang Hong's ex-boyfriend exposed her and uploaded some intimate and indecent photos!"

"Ok?"
