The Birth of the Magic City's First Conglomerate

Turning thirty is an awkward age. Some people shine brightly and achieve glory at this age, while others find their lives a messy struggle.

Undoubtedly, Chen Pingsheng belonged to the latter....

Chapter 301 Making a Fool of Yourself

The incident involving my second uncle caused a big joke in the village.

It doesn't mean that only people in the city will think about betraying their families after they become rich.

If you give a man who has been honest in the countryside all his life a chance to seduce a young girl, he will be able to exceed your imagination.

Old Chen has many relatives, and my second uncle is not the first one.

It won't be the last.

For many families, the sudden improvement in conditions is itself a double-edged sword.

Chen Pingsheng called the old man at home to inform him of the results.

The days passed slowly, and in the blink of an eye it was the end of September.

The trainee competition that started in a hurry last year will have to hold national selections two months in advance this year.

The main reason is that the program has become popular. Both Phoenix Yang Chaoyue and the national style girl Shen Wanning became famous in this program.

One competition made four amateur contestants famous.

No matter how you look at it, this is a very good platform for creating stars.

Next year's trainee competition will also begin in October with online auditions for fifty contestants.

It is worth mentioning that most of the trainees who were eliminated here have become internet celebrities.

Her starting point is particularly high, and she is more valuable than the average internet celebrity.

After all, he has made it into the entertainment industry.

The next batch of people eliminated from the trainee competition will not go to Xinteng Live, but will be sent to the Guangzhou Douyin live broadcast platform.

Xinteng Live no longer has any shortage of anchor resources, and its current focus is on supporting the Douyin platform.

Chen Pingsheng signed several important documents within the group, which also means that the 2017 trainee competition has officially begun auditions.

The trainee competition has now become a landmark event in Tencent Entertainment's transformation into variety shows.

This also pushed up the stock price of Tencent Entertainment to a large extent.

At the end of the month, Zhang Wanyi suddenly suggested to him that they could organize an acting awards program.

It is similar to the current singing programs, with a few talented mentors who then comment on the current popular young actresses.

The contestants of this kind of program are all relatively well-known celebrities in the entertainment industry.

It should be able to gain a certain amount of attention, especially given that Tencent Entertainment now spans movies, TV series, variety shows, and short dramas.

It is absolutely appropriate to host a program like this.

Chen Pingsheng asked her curiously, "How did you come up with this idea?"

Zhang Wanyi said, "The main reason is that I often hear colleagues say that so-and-so's acting is terrible, and so-and-so's acting is so-so, so I wondered if we could organize a program like this!"

"Very smart."

Chen Pingsheng nodded and said, "Life is full of business opportunities. Go to the Finance Department to collect the 5 million yuan bonus. Also, notify Lao Yang, the head of Tengying Entertainment's variety show department, to start preparing for this show."

"The entertainment industry is full of social conventions. Just because someone can play the leading role doesn't mean they have the talent to be that role. Tell Lao Yang not to be afraid of offending people. If the mentors we invite for this kind of program can't even tell the truth, then there's no point at all."

Chen Pingsheng felt that this program had great potential just by imagining it.

But the key is that the tutor must dare to tell the truth.

Don’t think this is a simple sentence. In fact, it is not easy to do this.

For example, there is a certain small-time actress, everyone knows that she has poor acting skills.

But you, as a mentor, can you just scold me? No.

Because he can be the protagonist even with such poor acting skills.

There must be someone behind this.

If you scold her, you are slapping the person behind her in the face.

If she goes back and acts like a spoiled brat, your mentor might even be unable to survive in the circle.

If you don't even dare to tell the truth, then what's the point of having this program.

It's just a joke.

Chen Pingsheng feels that the biggest attraction of this kind of program is definitely not how good the acting skills of the invited actors are.

Instead, the worse the performance, the more explosive it is, and then the mentor dares to complain wildly.

This is more interesting.

Dare to openly scold those popular young actresses and the second generation who are trying to attract the audience's attention.

This in itself requires extremely strong background resources.

Tencent Entertainment is this resource.

You should definitely not hire a mentor who doesn’t dare to tell the truth.

Zhang Wanyi conveyed Chen Pingsheng's intention to Lao Yang, who is a top planner in variety shows.

I was previously responsible for variety show planning at Mango TV.

As far as the current domestic situation is concerned, no other TV station can compare with Mango TV in terms of entertainment variety shows.

As soon as Zhang Wanyi said this, Lao Yang naturally understood what the boss meant.

Isn’t the core of the acting awards ceremony to complain about those actors who are not good for the eyes?

If he could really curse freely, he would guarantee that the show would be a hit.

But if the scolding is too harsh, whether anyone will be willing to participate is also a big problem.

Fortunately, Tencent Entertainment is a large company with a large business, and it can provide several female lead roles or film resources.

Most of the popular young actresses will flock to it.

Lao Yang asked her, "Did the big boss really tell you that you can just complain?"

"Yeah." Zhang Wanyi nodded. "The big boss said that if we can't even tell the truth, then there's no point in having this kind of show."

"Okay." Old Yang, who was already old, said happily, "With the boss's words, I can guarantee that this show will be a hit."

Sharing the same idea as Chen Pingsheng, Lao Yang also believes that the biggest highlight of this kind of program must be the crazy complaints.

The harsher the scolding, the more realistic the show will be.

A variety show, from planning to recording confirmation.

It will take at least a few months, so there is no rush.

Fortunately, Tengying Entertainment’s programs are not broadcast on TV at all, but are directly broadcast online.

This is, in a sense, much faster.

If you want to appear on a TV station, especially one with high ratings, it will take several months to go through various approvals.

Lao Yang took his team to research overnight. He really wanted to make this program a success.

After all, the audience has also been greatly harmed by those people with connections in recent years.

It's really an eyesore.

After hearing the news, Yang Mi immediately took the initiative to sign up to be a mentor.

She is definitely qualified enough in the entertainment industry. Yang Mi also wanted to make some great contributions to the group, but was directly scolded by Chen Pingsheng.

Judging from her acting skills, she is not much better than the eye-catching traffic flower.

The output has been stable over the years.

Yang Mi was very angry. As soon as she hung up the phone, she ran to Hong Kong to have fun.

Chen Pingsheng thinks Zhao Liying is okay, and her acting skills are definitely the most underestimated among the 85 flowers.

Her nickname is Zhao Xiaodao, which is straightforward and in line with his original intention of hosting this program.

For now, Tencent Entertainment is still the most important core resource in his hands.

Now they have started to produce their own variety shows, and it is obvious that they are planning to fully develop in the entertainment industry.

Perhaps within a year, Tencent Entertainment will become a film and television company worth hundreds of billions of yuan.

At that point, his position in the circle is truly unique.
