Chapter 115: Group, Variety Show, Hypocrisy (Guaranteed Monthly Ticket)

It’s only been 19 days since the beginning of 2024. So far, everyone is still giving face. No matter female or male artists, there has been no collapse of the house.

During this period, Lin Xing was very busy every time he came to the capital. Whether it was to attend the launch conference of "Sweeping Black Waves" or the celebration banquet of "Sweeping Black Waves", he basically had no time to meet other people.

Think about it, the last time I met Guan Peng was the recording of the final period of "Growing the Land".

It’s been a long time.

Since the end of "Growing the Land", although Guan Peng has not taken on film and television dramas, he has participated in two variety shows, one is "Weight Loss Rush", and the other is a slow variety show "Go Towards Dreams".

Guan Peng performed well in these two variety shows. Stars either gain fans or get scolded when doing variety shows.

Guan Peng has a high EQ, and he has a bit of a carefree personality, so he continues to maintain his popularity with these two variety shows.

In addition, his TV series "Learn from Dad and Mom" ​​was launched this year.

Guan Peng was originally cast as a special actor, but Zheng Zhou kept adding scenes to his role, and he finally became the second male lead.

Facts have proved that a good actor can seize and shine as long as you give him a little chance.

Just like in a play, even if they only have a few scenes, they can still leave a deep impression.

Before "Learning from Dad and Mom" ​​was broadcast, everyone was worried that Guan Peng and Ning Shu were not a good match. After all, although the two are about the same age, Ning Shu still looks like a mature woman, while Guan Peng looks like a greasy uncle.

Guess what happened? ?

Guan Peng plays a somewhat successful businessman in the play. This role itself needs to be a little greasy, but Guan Peng also plays the multi-faceted role.

He is lustful, but he is really afraid of his wife, and he really loves his daughter. Occasionally, he wants to pretend in front of his brothers, but he is often slapped in the face.

The audience likes this character very much.

Because the overbearing CEO is too far away from the audience, but Guan Peng played a down-to-earth ordinary person, a little middle-aged greasy but not too much, that is, there is the pressure of middle-aged people, and also played the helplessness of middle-aged people.

Even if you are already a successful businessman, there are still some things you can't do, such as the education of children.

If someone else played this role, it might be annoying to the audience, but Guan Peng played it with a sense of humor.

As for Ning Shu, she seemed a little out of place.

She is a movie queen and a movie star. After all, filming a movie is different from filming a TV series.

Originally, everyone was looking forward to Ning Shu, but the result was a big disappointment.

In one sentence, it is like a fairy descending to the earth and losing her spirit.

As for Zheng Zhou, Tang Yu and others, they all performed normally.

So the most outstanding Guan Peng became the biggest winner of the drama "Learn from Dad and Learn from Mom".

After all, Zheng Zhou, Tang Yu, and Ning Shu are all first-line stars, but Guan Peng is different. Before he acted in this drama, he had not had the opportunity to act for a long time, and he had been out of fashion for a long time.

If it weren't for the sudden popularity of "Let's Farm", Guan Peng would not have been able to participate in "Learn from Dad and Mom".

Even if he and Zheng Zhou were friends, it would be useless, because as the old saying goes, friends in the entertainment industry often only add icing on the cake, and if they don't add insult to injury, you can just be happy secretly, how can you help in times of trouble?

But when he became popular because of "Let's Farm", Zheng Zhou was still willing to help him.

Needless to say, Guan Peng's popularity has increased a lot now.

At the previous "Sweeping Black Waves" launch conference, Guan Peng wanted to sit with Lin Xing.

Later, at the celebration banquet of "Sweeping Black Waves", Guan Peng also asked Lin Xing to sit together, but Lin Xing missed it because of "Picture Hunting Murder".

Today, Lin Xing can't delay anymore.

Some relationships need to be maintained, even among friends.

If you invite a friend to dinner and the other party says he is not free after three consecutive invitations, then there is no need to invite him again, because a true friend will invite you back.

Besides, Kong Ming only invited you three times.

So, when the filming of "The Hunting Murderer" was finished yesterday, Lin Xing called Guan Peng. This was Lin Xing's initiative to invite Guan Peng. The previous few times, it was Guan Peng who invited him, but he was not free.

When Guan Peng heard that Lin Xing had just finished filming and had not even returned to the capital, he called him, and he seemed very happy.

So he simply made an appointment at the "Yuzhou Hot Pot Restaurant" tonight.

This hot pot restaurant was opened by Zheng Zhou, and the name comes from Zheng Zhou's "Zhou" and Li Xinyu's "Yu".

This Li Xinyu is Zheng Zhou's wife, and she was once a first-line actress, but since she married Zheng Zhou, she has retired from the entertainment industry and is at ease as a good wife.

Guan Peng had said before that Zheng Zhou and a few other people would be at the dinner tonight, all of whom are in the circle.

"Are you surprised?"

When Lin Xing came to the private room, he looked at Ren Yi hiding there wearing sunglasses and was a little confused. Especially when Ren Yi took off his glasses and looked at Lin Xing and asked if he was surprised, Lin Xing had to smile bitterly.

At this age, why are you still doing this?

"Brother Yi, it's really quite unexpected."

Lin Xing said with a smile: "This brother Guan only told me that there were Teacher Zheng and several other people in the circle, but he didn't say you."

Ren Yi laughed: "I specifically told Lao Guan not to tell you. I didn't drink enough with you at the last celebration party. Let's drink alone tonight."

"No, Brother Yi, you should drink with Brother Kong. I really can't do it."

Lin Xing was so drunk by Ren Yi at the last celebration party that he almost vomited. The most important thing was that Ren Yi was fine when he didn't drink. But when he drank, he looked a little crazy.

"Lao Kong, let's forget it."

Ren Yi shook his head slightly, but he didn't say much.

"Come on, Ah Xing, I don't need to introduce these three to you, Dahui, Ale, Xiaomi..."

Ren Yi introduced the other three people in the private room one by one.

Lu Hui.

Zhou Le.

Minnie.

These three people are currently active in major variety shows. Among them, Lu Hui was the youngest actor and the most potential TV star before, but he suddenly became indulgent since 8 years ago.

I made two movies with high box office but low reputation, and a TV series that was scolded as bloody, which almost consumed my popularity, and then I started to become a variety show star.

As for Zhou Le, he is considered a young artist. He has acted in several dramas before, but they were all bad. Later, he just acted in variety shows, and he gained quite a lot of popularity through variety shows.

Minnie, she is the leading lady of Tan Province TV.

"Axing, long time no see."

Minnie looked at Lin Xing and said with a smile.

"Sister Ni, how come you are getting younger and younger after all these years??"

Lin Xing looked at Minnie and said with a smile: "I thought I would meet you when I participated in "Follow the Stars to Poverty Alleviation" before, but I heard from Teacher Shen that you are preparing a new program..."

Sixteen years ago, Minnie was the host of the show "Swap Life" produced by Feng Gang, so Lin Xing knew Minnie from that time.

But unlike Minnie, Lin Xing, as a member of [Xing Yao Hai], gradually faded away after [Xing Yao Hai] disbanded. He stayed quiet for ten years before becoming popular last year.

As for Minnie, she had no career lows.

She has been at Tan Provincial TV for sixteen years, and now she is firmly in the position of the first sister.

"Axing, I haven't seen you talk to me for so many years and you are still so popular."

Minnie listened to Lin Xing's words and said with a smile: "At that time, I had been preparing for my new program [One Day Trip with Mi]. In a few days, Ah Xing, you should be free to record an episode."

Lin Xing smiled and said, "Okay."

"Then it's settled, I'll make a date with you later."

Minnie said with a chuckle.

Lin Xing is still quite popular now, so he needs to use it quickly.

Minnie's "One Day Trip with Mi" is also an interview variety show, but it is an outdoor interview. It mainly interviews and takes photos of guests over the course of a day.

She only interviews people who are popular, influential, and topical.

Before, Minnie would have disdained to talk to Lin Xing, but now, although Lin Xing is far from as popular as he was at the end of "The Big Deal", it is enough.

There are topics, there is traffic, and it is very handsome.

Isn't this the most suitable interview subject for me? ?

"No, Axing, you'd better not join Minnie's show. She only digs holes for others..."

Ren Yi mercilessly broke the news and said: "I have never seen a popular artist who didn't get scolded on his show. If you don't believe it, ask A Le."

With that said, Ren Yi kicked the ball to Zhou Le.

Zhou Le smiled honestly: "Brother Yi, please let me go."

"Ren Yi, you have to speak conscientiously. You can't be biased against all interview variety shows just because you were scolded for having sex with Zhao Fang..."

Minnie said unhappily: "Brother Hui, do you think so?"

"Actually, Minnie's interview variety show is quite comfortable."

Lu Hui smiled and said something fair.

"look……"

Minnie said and turned to look at Lin Xing and said, "Brother Hui is quite fair."

While talking, Zheng Zhou pushed the door open and walked in: "Axing, we meet again."

"Hello, Teacher Zheng."

Lin Xing said to Zheng Zhou.

Zheng Zhou pretended to be angry and said: "Didn't I tell you not to call me teacher in private? If you ask them to call me teacher, are you alienating me?"

Lin Xing said hurriedly: "Of course not."

"Then call me Brother Zhou."

Zheng Zhou said and sat down: "Everyone, sit down and let's talk while eating."

Today's game is obviously dominated by Zheng Zhou.

"A Xing, the thing is like this. I have always wanted to sit down with you, whether it was your original visit or Zha Lang's promotion of our drama later..."

Zheng Zhou smiled and said to Lin Xing: "I want to say thank you."

"Brother Zhou, just now you said not to let me get divorced from you. Didn't you also mean to get divorced from me?"

Lin Xing said slightly jokingly.

"No, I said that you are doing this, is it true?"

Ren Yi directly intervened and said: "Axing, we are actually planning to record a variety show recently, and then we are thinking of inviting you to record two episodes..."

Obviously, Ren Yi likes to be straightforward.

"Ren Yi is right."

Although Zheng Zhou still wanted to lay the groundwork, since Ren Yi had already said it, he simply said to Lin Xing: "Our variety show is a slow variety show, an outdoor reality show. Nowadays, the audience no longer likes to watch competitive variety shows. , it’s a popular variety show. What everyone likes is lying down, which is a pleasant relaxation..."

After listening to Zheng Zhou's idea, Lin Xing roughly understood it.

To put it bluntly, the theme is still to escape the city and enjoy being with nature.

This kind of variety show is also a kind of enjoyment for actors, because there is no need to do tasks, and there is no need to work hard to do it. Sometimes they even have to record over and over again, just for one wonderful shot.

Reality shows, reality shows, the focus is still on the ‘show’.

So the variety show must have a script, but Zheng Zhou thought that each episode only needs one theme, and the rest can be completely free for the actors to express themselves.

As a result, the requirements for actors will be higher.

Therefore, Zheng Zhou, the resident guest of this variety show, invited Guan Peng, Lu Hui, Zhou Le, and Minnie. Plus himself, there are a total of 5 permanent guests.

At the same time, several more guests will be invited in each issue.

The guests in the first two issues were Ren Yi and Lin Xing. In addition to these two, there were several others.

It is impossible for Ren Yi to be a permanent guest. He doesn't want to be too exposed in a variety show. He still has some pursuits of his own, but he has no problem coming to the variety show to have fun with everyone and record two episodes.

Then, Ren Yi recommended Lin Xing. After "Sweeping Out", Ren Yi really felt that Lin Xing was good, able to endure hardship, willing to learn, and had high talent.

Is this really illiterate? ?

At that time, Ren Yi felt that what had happened to Lin Xing was that so many people were slandering him.

What's more, when filming "The Big Brother", Lin Xing asked Ren Yi for advice every day, and the relationship between the two naturally improved by leaps and bounds.

This time Zheng Zhou was preparing guests for the first episode of the new variety show. He did not plan to invite Lin Xing at first. After all, at Zheng Zhou's position, he could invite many people who were more topical and popular than Lin Xing.

However, later Ren Yi strongly recommended Lin Xing to record two episodes, and Guan Peng also strongly recommended Lin Xing to Zheng Zhou.

That's why today's game is here.

Of course, it is impossible for Zheng Zhou to say this. He expressed the hope that Lin Xing would come to record two episodes for everyone to have fun and relax together.

He even said that he was very optimistic about Lin Xing, and he believed that Lin Xing must be invited to participate in the first issue.

Ren Yi said "hehe" twice, but he didn't expose Zheng Zhou.

"Brother Zhou, of course I want to play with everyone, but when are you going to start recording this variety show?"

Lin Xing asked.

"Just these few days, because I want to finish recording the first few episodes and start broadcasting during the Chinese New Year..."

Zheng Zhou said: "I plan to record and broadcast this kind of variety show at the same time, so that I can have instant feedback and make adjustments at any time."

Besides, Zheng Zhou believes that there is no technical content in recording this kind of variety show, and it just requires a lot of hard work in post-production.

"If it lasts a few days, there will be no problem."

Lin Xing said with a smile: "There is a script being communicated in the past few days, so I'm afraid I won't have time until the filming of this script starts."

"oh??"

Ren Yize's eyes lit up: "Which TV series is it?"

"It's not a TV series, it's an online series."

Lin Xing smiled and explained: "But I have to wait until I meet with them tomorrow to talk about the specific situation."

"Another web drama??"

Ren Yi was a little speechless: "Why did you get into trouble with the online drama?"
