With the powerful promotional tool of Feixun opening screen, Mango TV quickly agreed to Tao Mu's request to bring the crew of "The Great Wall of Flesh and Blood" to the variety show for promotion.
Tao Mu then called director Zhou Hong. Discuss the selection of participants for the variety show.
Director Zhou Hong was stunned. His first reaction was not to recommend someone to Tao Mu, but to say, "I'm not going."
On the other end of the phone, Zhou Hong shook his head like a rattle, not noticing that Tao Mu couldn't see his movements at all: "Those variety shows are for kids in their twenties, and they have to play some games. I'm over 40, I won't go."
"It's just a promotion. Just think of it as a sacrifice for art." Tao Mu advised Director Zhou.
Director Zhou gritted his teeth and refused to relax: "I can sacrifice anything else for art, but I will sacrifice this for art. If this gets out, my colleagues will laugh at me for losing my integrity. No, no, I will never go."
Tao Mu said, "Then can you help me persuade the other teachers?"
Zhou Hong immediately said, "It's basically impossible. Why don't you take Zhang Mengcheng and Hu Ning with you? They are both in their twenties and should be able to have fun."
In the last variety show, the male and female protagonists didn't go, so the investors showed up with a bunch of minor supporting actors. Is that appropriate?
Tao Mu did not give up and pulled all the actors of the "The Great Wall of Flesh and Blood" crew into a Feixun group. As soon as the matter of appearing on the variety show was mentioned, veteran actors led by Zhan Bin immediately asked for leave or pretended to be sick. No one was willing to step forward.
Zhan Bin was still confident: "We are all in our 50s. How can we jump around on TV? This is absolutely not possible. You young people should go. It's a good opportunity for you young people to promote yourselves. I've also heard of that variety show on Mango TV. It's quite popular. My son watches it every weekend."
Several other veteran actors seconded the proposal. Zhang Mengcheng and Hu Ning really wanted to go, but were too embarrassed to say anything. I just silently typed, "I will follow the organization's orders."
Tao Mu had no choice but to take the second male lead and the third female lead of "The Great Wall of Flesh and Blood", as well as several important characters of "Fashion Storm" to record the show.
Because everyone's schedule is different, the tentative plan is for everyone to meet at Mango TV on the day of the recording.
The program was recorded on August 7th and aired on August 24th. The broadcast time of "Fashion Storm" is exactly 10 o'clock in the evening on August 24th, after the variety show ends.
The schedule is clearly arranged. There's nothing wrong with it.
It can indeed be seen that Mango TV has really put in a lot of effort to promote "Fashion Storm" and its own variety shows.
When Tao Mu was still in the entertainment industry in his previous life, he came to Xiangnan many times. But this is the first time in my life. Fearing that Tao Mu would get lost in a strange city, Long Tianao volunteered to come with Tao Mu - he also planned to participate in the recording of the show. However, Long Yanei did not go on stage, but just sat there as a spectator.
The kind that is responsible for clapping, stomping feet, screaming and giggling.
"I've called my friend in Shonan. After we finish recording the show, we'll spend a few days eating well in Shonan before leaving. There are so many delicious foods in Shonan!"
The assistant of Mango TV was standing at the airport holding a colorful pick-up sign, looking very excited.
On the pick-up sign was the logo of Mango TV and the icon of Feixun.com, which Tao Mu saw at a glance.
"Hello, Mr. Mu and Mr. Tao, I'm Qiao Nan, an intern assistant at Mango TV. You can just call me Xiao Qiao." Qiao Nan, who came to pick up the plane, couldn't help but almost exposed her ceramic attributes.
Long Tianao stood next to Tao Mu and joked with a smile: "You are called Xiao Qiao, so do you have a sister named Da Qiao?"
"Hello, Sister Xiao Qiao, my name is Long Tianao, and my courtesy name is Gongjin."
Qiao Nan smiled at Long Tianao. I don't want to bother with this smooth-talking rich second generation.
The nanny car first took Tao Mu and Long Tianao to the hotel to put away their luggage. Then they sent the people to the TV station.
Several other artists who needed to record shows had already arrived early. Putting on make-up in the dressing room backstage.
Seeing Tao Mu and Long Tianao, all the artists stood up and greeted their bosses and investors.
In fact, it was not just them. Even the leaders of Mango TV and the heads of the program team who got the news came over. After all, Tao Mu and Long Tianao are more than just actors and investors.
The leader of Mango TV said with a smile that they would treat everyone to a meal after the recording of the program was completed, as a welcome treat for everyone. I am also very humble and ask everyone to appreciate my visit.
Not to mention the people from the program crew. Because it was their first collaboration, the director came over in person to review the script with Tao Mu. They were particularly considerate and said that if there were any questions about any part, they could communicate with them, and they would delete all the questions that could not be asked and the unfunny parts according to Tao Mu's wishes.
Tao Mu came to record the show just to promote the TV series. Of course, he understood that the more explosive the show, the better the promotional effect. Moreover, Tao Mu had experienced all kinds of devilish variety shows in later generations, so these warm soups and warm waters were out of the question.
Because he was not satisfied with the program team's gentle conservatism, Tao Mu also gave them some ideas and slightly changed a few game links.
All of Tao Mu's experience comes from the most popular variety show classic games in later generations. After several suggestions, all the members of the program team were delighted. If it weren't for Tao Mu's worth of billions of gold, they would probably want to hire him as a consultant for the program team.
In order to promote his own TV series, Tao Mu gave the most outstanding part of the entire game session to the leading male and female actors of "Fashion Storm" and the supporting male and female actors of "The Great Wall of Flesh and Blood".
However, what no one expected was that after the show started filming, the first person to attract the audience's attention was the second female lead in "Fashion Storm" - Liang Xiao, who played the male lead's ex-girlfriend in the play.
The story begins with the game "Truth or Dare".
According to the rules of the game, the host will ask all the guests to sit in a circle to play the game. The loser can choose truth or dare. When it was Liang Xiao's turn, she chose the truth.
The host asked her what was the most impressive thing during the filming.
According to common thinking habits, most actors will certainly answer some interesting questions that happened during the filming, which can also be regarded as a promotion for the TV series.
But Liang Xiao didn't say that. She took the microphone and said with great sincerity: "...the thing that impressed me most during the filming was that rich people can really do whatever they want."
Then she talked about how when she was filming another movie, she was slapped twice in the face for no reason by the family of the actor who played the second male lead in front of everyone in the crew.
"That actor actually didn't have a lot of experience. He just relied on his good family background to play around in the industry. Not only was he unprofessional, he also liked to bully newcomers without any background. When his sister came to visit the crew, she saw me talking to him and she accused me of seducing him. Then she slapped me twice without giving me any explanation."
This revelation caught me off guard. The audience sitting below was suddenly in an uproar.
Several hosts looked at each other in bewilderment. The director was shouting something into the headset, and the script supervisor was waving the teleprompter frantically. I just want the hosts to take the topic a little deeper.
The female host walked up to Liang Xiao and hugged him.
In fact, most people in the industry know about the grudge between Liang Xiao and Shen Yu. People who are well-informed even know that the reason why Liang Xiao was exposed for having a financial backer some time ago was because of Shen Yu's friends behind the scenes. But people outside the circle and the audience in front of the TV don’t know!
The host received the director's instructions and could only continue to ask: "Oh my God, this is too much, right? Who is it? Can you tell us?"
"Why not?" Liang Xiao took a deep breath and continued, "It's the movie Jianghu, which is now in theaters. I played the second female lead in it. I debuted at the age of 20, and I've never offended anyone in the entertainment industry for so many years. But in that movie, I offended Shen Yu's sister for no reason. They insisted that I seduced him. Then they went to the media to expose the news and hired internet trolls to say that I was kept by a wealthy man. In fact, it's not the case at all. My boyfriend and I are in a normal relationship. Just because he was divorced before, they actually paid off internet trolls to say that I was kept by a married man. It's ridiculous."
"Anyone who knows the truth knows what happened. But because the Shen family is so wealthy, our agency didn't dare to help me clarify. And they didn't even let me clarify it myself. After that incident, I was directly hidden by the company. Fortunately, my contract with the company lasted less than half a year. After half a year, the contract was not renewed, so I switched to Xiaxing Entertainment with the help of my boyfriend."
When Liang Xiao said this, his eyes turned red. She choked up with grievance, "It's been so long since the incident happened. I don't really want to care about it anymore. After all, the Shen family is so powerful. But isn't this movie a hit recently? Someone on the Internet is trying to stir up trouble again, slandering me as a mistress and being kept by someone. This kind of accusation is really too vicious for a girl. I really can't stand it."
"So even now, I really feel that it is too difficult to be an actor in this industry without a background. It's not a question of whether anyone believes what you say. It's that you don't have the opportunity to say it."
"This incident has had a huge impact on me." Liang Xiao choked up and said, "Jiang Hu is the first movie I made. Before that, my career and image had always been good. There were scripts that wanted me to be the female lead. But after the scandal broke out, there were no more scripts that wanted me to be the female lead. All I got were some vicious female supporting roles, or roles like the kept mistress."
"I feel really wronged. Why do you want to slander me for something I didn't do? Just because I said a few more words to you on the set and showed my goodwill to you, do I have to suffer this kind of retribution?"
Perhaps because Liang Xiao's revelations were too explosive, before the program crew could block the news, some audience members in the audience had already disobeyed the filming regulations and posted the scene online.
The show is recorded on Monday, during normal working hours. But because it is summer vacation, many students are not in class and are surfing the Internet at home.
The news revealed by the audience was quickly noticed by netizens. In addition, the movie "Jiang Hu" is currently in theaters, so Yan Sheng, Shen Yu and others have been promoting it in various places. Due to various factors, this news was pushed to the top of Feixun’s hot searches in less than two hours.
Shen Yu's fans, who were still rejoicing that their little prince had finally successfully transformed into a movie star, suddenly panicked.
