Chapter 162 The Dream of the Top 60
Recently, the outside world has been vaguely questioning Meng Yang. That is, a person who has not received professional training, has never played a serious role, and has never been tested in real acting, does he really have acting skills? Are you really qualified for a big role?
This is also the point that Zhang Lan has been using to fight back recently.
She has revealed more than once that the reason why she has not assigned roles to Meng Yang in recent years is not because she is exploiting and excluding her, nor is it because she is incompetent. The main reason is that Meng Yang has no acting skills...
Tianxiang also began to issue press releases, implying that they were unjustly accused. Is casting Meng Yang as the starring role in the new drama "oppression" and "taking advantage" as netizens say? Instead, it is a risk and a step back from their greatest sincerity...
Tao Ran couldn't give the other party a chance to make dirt on him.
Using this performance to dispel such doubts may be the fastest and best way. This is also the main reason why Tao Ran takes this performance particularly seriously.
She succeeded!
Her emotional expression is full and in place, her empathy and appeal are super strong, her basic skills are solid, and her acting skills are also revealed. These not only make the public look at her with admiration, surprise her, but also make her curious about how many other talents she has.
This successful performance brought immediate results...
She retreated to the backstage, and as soon as she took off her makeup, her old acquaintance Director Yao, Mr. Lei from the platform, and Sister Xi were already waiting for her.
Said he wanted to chat.
Let’s chat.
Director Yao said that the theme of the variety show they signed before, after the sports games, had already been decided.
As Meng Yang's popularity remains high, she is smart and good at getting things done. Originally, the platform planned to give full play to her strengths and continue to use the live broadcast genre that she is good at to create a desert island survival and elimination live variety show.
After all, she knows how to make things happen, handle things, hire people, and manage situations. The program team believes in her eye-catching ability. At that time, she will do the same as the last live broadcast, making a surprise here and doing something there. There will be a lot of excitement between the contestants, and the explosive points will come one after another, without the program team having to design and edit the highlights.
This also solves the biggest problem in live variety shows - what to watch.
Meng Yang, this great treasure, will play a role in revitalizing the entire show.
In addition, this is the first time that a live variety show has been eliminated. Once this program is completed, it will create a precedent for this type of variety show, and everyone will leave a name in the history of variety shows...
Originally, this project had been approved by the platform, and a team had been formed to plan and prepare to enter the investment promotion stage.
But these days, Director Yao has another idea.
This live variety show is forward-looking, but the format is not enough.
Well, his appetite was spoiled by Tao Ran.
He wanted projects that were deeper, broader and more valuable.
For example, the character Meng Yang has been building recently is an ordinary person.
Can you make a variety show based on the transformation of ordinary people? Based on the various situations in the world and the trivialities of society, use the little people to make a meaningful, popular, and social variety show?
Maybe it won’t be too interesting or exciting, but the general direction is the melody! With this girl's recent social influence and such a good project start-up point, is there a high probability that she will win an award?
So Director Yao was shaken.
He originally planned to talk to the leaders tonight.
But just now, Mr. Lei came...
Damn it, they actually said that the company also had ideas?
There was a meeting at the upper level of the platform this afternoon. Several major shareholders happened to see Meng Yang's performance, and then they had an idea and gave him some instructions to the vice president who happened to be backstage...
The ideas of platform shareholders are more based on the development of the platform side.
They saw the shining point in Meng Yang, so they wanted to make an acting PK variety show. They want to give opportunities to those unknown little actors, stuntmen, and bit parts who have been in the entertainment industry for many years and let them compete with some popular stars or Mesozoic actors in the industry.
The winner will get the starring role in the S+ drama that the platform will invest heavily in next year and a three-year contract with the platform.
Tao Ran nodded.
Very clever.
As a small artist and a representative of ordinary people, Meng Yang can gain a good reputation, fully capture the current popularity of her, and convert traffic to their platform;
A method like PK must be extremely brutal. It can be imagined that the huge topic and a large number of fans are breaking each other's heads and supporting their brothers and sisters. The popularity is even more explosive.
Although this variety show is about acting, it is also a preview of the big drama on their platform next year. Nothing is decided yet, but it has already caught everyone’s attention. In the end, the popularity gained by this variety show will eventually flow into the platform's big drama next year. That drama will become popular before it airs...
In addition, there is another point that allows the platform to make a profit without losing money: they have given so many young actors opportunities, so naturally they cannot lose money, and they will definitely lure them with contracts. During the variety show PK process, young actors who become popular, whether due to their real ability or good luck, should be absorbed into the platform, which will inject them with hard power.
Therefore, leaders are leaders and think further.
Tao Ran has been in the industry for many years, so he can still understand these things.
"Then what?" she asked.
"What do you think?" Director Yao asked cautiously. "Which variety show idea do you like?" They originally discussed this matter with Sister Xi. But Sister Xi told her that her contract with Meng Yang was different, and Meng Yang had the initiative in taking over the job.
"Just...it's okay." This is the truth.
Tao Ran not only wants to leave a name for Meng Yang, but also wants to win awards for Meng Yang. At the same time, he is also willing to help Meng Yang feel more roles and progress during PK.
Meng Yang's acting skills are definitely far different from Tao Ran himself. If you want to improve in the short term, PK like this may be the best way.
So Tao Ran likes all three projects.
Mr. Lei started to test: "But in our contract, we only signed one variety show."
Tao Ranxiao: "Then let's choose one to start with." Mr. Lei personally took action, which was obviously not the idea. But Tao Ran couldn't show much interest.
"Maybe there's a way to get the best of both worlds?"
Tao Ran is not in a hurry, but Mr. Lei is!
He came today because he had to finalize something. After Meng Yang successfully signed with Jiahua, a lot of resources came to Sister Xi.
Look, Sister Xi didn't even go to the Jiahua headquarters today. She didn't care about the other artists and just stayed with Meng Yang one-on-one. Xiao Yao's people told him that Sister Xi had been on the phone all afternoon, and she and her two assistants had been organizing various resources in the dressing room.
Many people from the circle came to the stadium to block Meng Yang. Thanks to them, they kept those people out in the name of the organizer. Otherwise, they would not be able to chat with Meng Yang in peace now.
You know, artists only have so much time, so you have to seize this time slot. Otherwise, they might not be able to eat hot tofu when Meng Yang walks out of the gym.
Mr. Lei said it bluntly.
"The faster we can cooperate with you, now that we have the basis for cooperation, we plan to cooperate in depth with you and do three variety shows! How about it?"
