Chapter 426: Return Date Unlimited

The competition for "Star of Tomorrow" has also entered a white-hot stage.

Because the contestants this time are learning training in dressing, makeup, etiquette, professional ethics, etc., some things cannot be fully presented to the audience, so the format of this competition follows the principles of fun and comprehensiveness.

The contestants were divided into ten groups and took turns to put on makeup and dress up. Each person had two minutes to perform and then walked around the venue. The audience held up signs to get half of the points, and the judges gave the other half of the points.

It can be said that the company completely handed the stage over to the contestants, allowing them to ignite the entire audience.

Half of the contestants will be eliminated in this competition. The eliminated contestants will sign a solid contract with the company, and will be able to enjoy irregular professional training and improvement provided by the company, and have the opportunity to study abroad. Naturally, the company benefits they enjoy are quite good, with a monthly salary of 200 yuan and a lot of materials sponsored by advertisers.

As soon as the treatment was announced, more than 130 temporary employees who had been eliminated long ago became jealous and worked even harder in the training room, waiting for the opportunity to sign a contract with the company as soon as possible and obtain the security that everyone envied and hated!

Two hundred yuan, that's two thousand four hundred yuan a year, and that doesn't include the food, clothing, housing, transportation and other supplies sponsored by advertisers. The company also provides three meals a day and allocates a two-bedroom, one-living room welfare house for move-in immediately after signing the contract. This is almost the same treatment as a level ten worker.

Motivated by such huge profits, each of them worked even harder than during the closed training.

There are sixty contestants left, and they will have a fierce competition every week. Those between forty and sixty will receive the company's bronze contract, a salary of three hundred yuan, a welfare house with two bedrooms and two living rooms, an advertising agency contract each, two script auditions for the fourth and fifth supporting roles, and a variety show notice.

The 20th to 40th contestants signed silver medal contracts, with a salary of 500 yuan, a welfare house with three bedrooms and two living rooms, two advertising contracts, a movie as the third supporting role, five script auditions for the second and third supporting roles, and two variety show notices.

The top 20 contestants signed a gold medal contract with a salary of 700 yuan, a welfare house with four bedrooms and two living rooms, three advertising contracts, a movie as the first and second supporting roles, eight script auditions for the first and second supporting roles, five variety show notices, and an international movie as the fourth and fifth supporting roles.

However, when the top 20 were competing, a group of about 30 old employees suddenly showed up to challenge the team. These old employees had rich screen experience, and they had solid professional knowledge through An Zhixia's continuous training over the years, but at the same time, they were old hands and did not have the spirit and freshness of the new employees.

After several fierce battles, the list of the top ten artists of Tomorrow Culture Company was announced in front of the national audience. Only three old employees succeeded in kicking the club! This shows how cruel and efficient the previous competition was.

After half a year of hard work, the true Gu Kings of Xiahua's entertainment industry have finally emerged. They all have outstanding looks, extraordinary talents, and great charm on stage and on screen!

Amidst everyone's great anticipation, outstanding artists from the two entertainment giants, Xiahua, competed live on the main channels of Longteng TV and Kyoto TV during the prime time on Saturday night.

On one side are those who have climbed up through their own efforts, talent and luck, while on the other side are those who have been promoted through the company's secret manipulation and protection. The difference between them can naturally be immediately apparent.

As An Zhixia predicted, Tomorrow Culture Company won overwhelmingly, gained a lot of popularity, and got a wave of free advertising. They also brought the movies and TV series that will be filmed this year to the ears of the people in the form of artist skits, song adaptations, and megaphone content, making everyone have great expectations for these works.

Hundreds of new employees were in place, and Tomorrow Culture Company was fully operational. After carefully selecting roles, four movies and four TV series were filmed simultaneously. It happened to be the summer vacation for the children, so the mother and her children were transferred to eight crews. Sometimes the children could even get a small group performance job to earn some pocket money.

An Zhixia could not write scripts by herself to meet the huge demand for film and television works of a company or a country. Therefore, she placed a large advertisement in the Tomorrow Culture newspaper and magazine printed by the publishing house she acquired, sincerely inviting domestic literary workers to write scripts.

Sometimes, in order to respond to the organization, she would ask the president to send invitation letters to some talented writers and get highly customized film and television scripts!

She writes each call for submissions personally, and she squeezes together many new ideas, which collide violently in the minds of the submitting writers to create literary sparks, which are then presented in the script, waiting to be interpreted by the artists.

During the company's long production process, the twelve carefully edited and polished "Stars of Tomorrow" variety show, each lasting more than two hours, was moved to the Saturday prime time on Longteng TV.

The content is very comprehensive, completely collecting and presenting the "Stars of Tomorrow" from auditions to the final competition and subsequent arrangements.

A lot of things happened in half a year, but they were compressed into a variety show of more than 30 hours. Naturally, every minute and every second was extremely exciting, grabbing the audience's attention!

They have one more thing to look forward to for the weekend.

All aspects of the company are gradually getting back on track. An Zhixia inspects the company twice a day and then goes home to cook for the children.

Xiahua's cultural and entertainment industry has developed extremely rapidly. Tomorrow Culture Company and Xiahua Culture Company have been competing with each other since their inception. Within half a year, they attracted most of the audience, which led other TV stations to follow suit. For a time, all kinds of talent shows, variety shows, and live broadcasts popped up like bamboo shoots in spring.

In order to curb malicious competition such as plagiarism and high-level borrowing by TV stations, Mr. De specifically ordered the implementation of the entertainment industry program monopoly evaluation report.

Every program must undergo several evaluations and reviews before it can be presented on the screen. If it is identified as malicious competition, the program will be forced to be removed from the shelves and modified, and will only be allowed to be broadcast again after passing the review.

The review is decided by the masses. Many programs were forced to be removed from the shelves and ordered to make corrections. The most important thing about a program is its creativity. If the creativity is abolished, the entire program will collapse. Without a framework, how can it continue to be carried out?

A good idea and organization form cannot be thought of in three to five days, so most programs have an indefinite return date. This makes Longteng TV and Kyoto TV's leading position more solid.

Taking advantage of this trend, An Zhixia regarded cultural creativity, especially in the field of entertainment, as a piece of bread that cannot be shared. Others can pay to buy it, but they must not shamelessly plunder it. This idea was integrated into the programs with high ratings and viewership on overseas channels.
