Chapter 342 Feel the "dining table play"
In the last few days of 2017, the entertainment industry has revealed another big melon to the majority of netizens.
An entertainment reporter posted a video online, in which actor Li Xiaolu and rapper artist PG One, who just became popular this year because of "China Has Hip-Hop", went home together after dinner and did not go out until the next morning.
On the same night, when Jia Nailiang was live streaming, a viewer asked Li Xiaolu where he was, and he said "my wife went to get her hair done."
Then, Zhuo Wei, who had disappeared for half a year, sent a message saying "see you on Wednesday", and then forwarded the post about the "overnight stay" incident.
Many netizens have been looking forward to the entire New Year's Day holiday, thinking that this "first paparazzi in the domestic entertainment industry" is going to reveal some inside information again. Unexpectedly, on the 3rd, he posted a message that "Wang Sicong has changed two new female companions."
Netizens who were waiting to eat the melon held their breath in their chests and almost choked. Is it worth "previewing" for Wang Sicong's daily news of changing three women a year?
Some smart netizens immediately realized that the so-called "See you on Wednesday" was not a warm-up for the spectators, but a time for the celebrity team to pay the "ransom".
Wang Sicong, who was pulled out to take the blame, also posted a Weibo post cursing "Today is my 30th birthday, and I was bought by someone to take the blame, qnmlgbd". He
also posted a photo of a condom with the caption "I'm going to do my hair".
At this point, the originally normal word "doing hair" suddenly has a lot of new meanings full of green.
Li Xiaolu and PG One were not idle either, and issued a "clarification announcement", saying that they were just discussing a "hip-hop music movie script" that night, and there were others there.
But obviously, no one believed this explanation of "discussing the script all night", after all, what script do you need to discuss all night.
Netizens were like wild animals in a melon field, jumping up and down in the comment areas of several parties.
Some went to Li Xiaolu and PG One to ask for resources, some posted emoticons to "comfort" Jia Nailiang on Weibo, and some left a message on Wang Sicong, "Lu stayed overnight, Jia pretended to be fine, I never thought, Zhuo Shi is amazing."
Of course, there were also people who were accidentally injured. Some "Zhangyu netizens" ran to Li Xiaoran's Weibo and scolded her: "Are you worthy of Jia Nailiang by doing this? How will Tianxin see you in the future?"
Li Xiaoran: ???
Another person who was not happy was several satellite TV stations. They worked hard and spent a lot of money to invite a bunch of big names to hold a "New Year's Eve party", but all the heat was attracted by a "hairdressing".
Even Li Qin complained to Meng Bai. She had received an invitation to CCTV's New Year's Eve concert this year and sang a song. Her publicity team wanted to see if they could buy a hot search to prove that they were working.
In the end, the entry was bought, but apart from some rainbow farts from their own fans, it had no influence at all.
Fortunately, Mr. Li has always upheld the attitude of "doing one's best and leaving the rest to fate" in marketing. Since no one is paying attention, forget it, and you can save some money.
"The white tube-top dress you wore when you went on stage was quite beautiful. I wanted to show it to you." Li Qin said on the phone: "But you haven't come back for so long since you went out."
"Don't delay, I found your clips online and watched them. It's really pretty. When I go back in two days, I'll find someone to contact the brand to customize a pair of the same style, and you can wear it for me alone."
"Tsk, rare... I'll send you the size later."
——
The Spring Festival in 2018 was relatively late, and it was not until mid-February that New Year's Eve. Therefore, most migrant workers who come back from the New Year's Day holiday have to work for more than a month before they can take a vacation.
Meng Bai did not return to China until after New Year's Day.
After a stopover in Shanghai, the plane landed directly in Changsha.
"The Great Detective Season 3" is coming to an end, and he happened to talk to Mango TV about developing peripheral games and apps in conjunction with the "Chinatown Detective" series.
"Boss, this is the information on the development of the 'script-killing' game in China."
In the car, the assistant Hua Yan handed Meng Bai a document, which contained the information that his boss asked the company to organize a few days ago abroad.
Meng Bai flipped through the documents in his hand. Because of the popularity of "The Great Detective Season 2", the new party game "script-killing" is now gradually known by many young people.
Although the current audience is still relatively small, and in most cases it is combined with other board games such as "Werewolf", the market is growing very fast.
In just over half a year, dozens of physical stores that provide "script-killing" games have appeared in super first-tier cities such as Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou.
At this rate of development, it should be able to support a new industry model in one to two years.
Meng Bai calculated the time in his mind. "Detective Chinatown 2" is currently scheduled for this year's National Day, followed by "The Great Detective Season 4".
Then the "Crime Master" application can be used as a supporting promotional peripheral for the movie. When the market matures next year and the game "Script Killing" has a certain scale of audience, the game functions will be gradually expanded.
With a rough plan in mind, Meng Bai put down the information and asked the assistant next to him: "By the way, is there a program recording of "Detective Ming" today?"
"Yes, Sister Tongtong told me before that we will record the closing party of the last episode today." Hua Yan said.
"It's the last episode so soon." Meng Bai sighed. Because of the tight schedule this season, he basically didn't pay much attention to it. "How are the recent data results?"
"Wait a minute, boss, let me take a look." Hua Yan said, taking the Pad beside her.
After several years of experience, this girl is no longer the confused "Lolita girl" at the beginning. Although she is still obsessed with her own paper man in private, she is becoming more and more mature at work.
More importantly, because she has been with Meng Bai for many years, she has a deep understanding of her boss's habits. Just like the situation of this season of "Celebrity Detective", although Meng Bai didn't say it before, she still regularly connects with the program team to record.
"The total number of views for this season has exceeded 3.5 billion, and the ratings are the same as the second season. The discussion has also remained stable." Hua Yan looked at the information in her hand, "However, the real-time popularity ranking of 'online variety shows' on third-party platforms such as Yunhe Data has recently dropped one place to second."
"It's the second." Meng Bai asked curiously, "Which program surpassed it?" "
The "Idol Producer" recently launched by Qiyi TV."
Meng Bai suddenly realized that Dai Ying had mentioned this program to him before. It is a program that focuses on "boy group idol audition" and is of the same type as Tencent Video's "Produce 101".
He glanced at Hua Yan, who was a little excited beside him: "Why, are you also following this program?"
"Not really, I just watch every episode and occasionally vote or something."
This is not considered following? Meng Bai asked with a smile: "Didn't you say that you don't like the three-dimensional world? Why, suddenly you find that paper people are not attractive anymore?"
"That's not the case. The two-dimensional world is always the best!" Hua Yan clenched her fists, "But it's rare for a program to have so many handsome guys at the same time. It's fun to watch it occasionally."
"Hehe, woman."
Meng Bai replied, imitating the tone of his assistant's usual mockery of him, and then casually said: "Tell your boss which one you like, and I'll take you to see the real person later."
"Really?"
"Of course, it's not difficult to meet a contestant on the show." Meng Bai said indifferently: "Or maybe you know people from Qiyi TV, just talk to them yourself."
As the first assistant who has been with Meng Bai for many years, Hua Yan's status in Arclight is only slightly lower than that of Liu Jun, Chen Jing and a few others.
Let alone Arclight Film's current status in the circle, just the relationship with Qiyi TV, it is not easy to meet a little idol.
"Forget it, there is no need." Hua Yan said a little dull: "Suddenly I found that there seems to be nothing to see."
Meng Bai smiled in his heart when he saw her boring look. ,
Star chasing is like this. Fans outside the circle are attracted by the halo of "idols" and "stars" because they are far away, and they are naturally full of enthusiasm.
But as long as the distance is shortened, most people will immediately find that the other party is not as good as they imagined.
And like Hua Yan, when the status is higher than the other party, it will only feel that there is no fun.
Most girls subconsciously always like the opposite sex who is stronger than themselves. Even when the older sister is looking for a young and handsome guy, she can't help but urge them to "move forward".
But then again, the boy group's plan is so popular, then the girl group plan on Tencent's side should not be much different.
Meng Bai couldn't help but think of Yang Chaoyue, and he didn't know what kind of results she would get by then.
But it must be said that this girl is a bit lucky.
When he arrived at the headquarters of Mango TV, Zhou Shan, the vice president in charge of the variety show department, was already waiting in advance.
Meng Bai exchanged a few pleasantries with the other party, and then went straight to the point: "I don't know what Mango thinks about the proposal to develop the surrounding areas?"
"We received the proposal from Arclight a few days ago. We discussed it internally and are still very interested." Zhou Shan said.
In fact, before Arclight Film and Television contacted, Mango TV had already considered how to develop the IP value of "Star Detective" and had proposed many plans internally.
For example, according to the satellite standards, create a new satellite TV program of the same type. Or dig out the "NZND group" derived from the plot in these seasons of the show, and do film and television or music live.
Of course, it also includes game development.
After all, "Star Detective" is now the "trump card" of the entire Mango TV, so it is natural to make the best use of it.
However, these plans are still in the conceptual stage, and none of them have been finalized.
"We have no objection to the linkage and subsequent game and application development." Zhou Shan said: "But we need to slowly discuss the specific details of the linkage cooperation."
"Of course, we don't expect to complete it immediately." Meng Bai smiled and said: "What's more, it takes some time to cultivate the market, and we have a lot of preparation time."
The negotiation with Mango TV went smoothly. After all, everyone knows that this is a "win-win" cooperation that is beneficial to everyone.
The only possible contradiction is how to allocate the focus of the two IPs.
Meng Bai and Mango TV chatted for an afternoon and had dinner together in the evening.
After returning to the hotel, he washed up first, then sat on the sofa while looking at the company's report and waiting. It was
not until after ten o'clock in the evening that the door of the room was suddenly knocked.
Meng Bai went over to open the door, and the next second, a figure wearing a heavy coat and wrapped tightly slipped in from outside the door.
"Huh..."
The man took off his mask and breathed a sigh of relief. Then he turned in the direction of Meng Bai, and a small face with crescent smiling eyes appeared under the light.
Looking at Li Yitong's blushing face, Meng Bai covered her cheeks with both hands: "Your face is so red from the cold? Is it very cold outside?"
"The temperature is okay. It's warmer here in Changsha than in northern Beijing. Your face is red because you ran in a hurry just now."
"Why did you run so fast?"
"Because I wanted to see you earlier." Li Yitong stretched out her arms to wrap around Meng Bai's waist, looking up at him.
"Tsk." Meng Bai chuckled, "Boss Li is very capable now."
"Hehe..."
Li Yitong smiled with her eyes bent, and rubbed her little head against Meng Bai's chest.
Although it was only a dozen days since she last saw him, she still missed him a lot.
"Have you eaten?"
"Yeah, we had dinner together during the recording today."
"Oh, yes, today is the closing dinner for the last episode." Meng Bai paused and asked casually, "Who is here this episode?"
"Teacher He, Teacher Sa, and then Teacher Da and Wei Chen, and then Sister Yang Rong."
Meng Bai breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this. Fortunately, Sister Ou should still be in the crew after returning to China, so she didn't come.
But then, he felt a little nervous again. Wang Ou is a mature older sister after all. Even when she is face to face with Li Yitong, she will not show any other emotions.
Putting aside his worries, Meng Bai leaned over, picked up Li Yitong by the knees and picked her up.
"Ah-you, put me down first, I haven't gone to wash up yet."
"It doesn't matter, I still have to wash up later, let's do business first."
"Really, you are so anxious... Hey, isn't the inner room over there, where are you going to carry me?"
"Change the scene occasionally, take Boss Li to experience the dining table play. Come on, grab the edge of the table and turn around."
"Huh, I knew it... Well, Meng Bai, you are a hooligan!"
