Chapter 274: Widow (110 additional chapters)
…
Fan Zuizui, no, her name is not Fan Zuizui at all, but Su Zui! This is not the point.
The point is, Su Zui is not Fan Linglong’s sister, but Fan Linglong’s mother!
After knowing this, Xu Kai was shocked!
To be honest, although he already knew the truth, Xu Kai couldn't believe that Su Zui, who looked only two years older than Fan Linglong, was actually over 40 years old!
Xu Kai really doubted whether there was any magic that could freeze one’s age in this world, otherwise how could Su Zui be so young?
At the same time, Xu Kai couldn't help but feel fortunate that he didn't do anything out of line to Su Zui, otherwise the misunderstanding would have been huge.
After the funeral, when Fan Linglong had gotten over the pain of losing her father, Xu Kai found an excuse to spank Fan Linglong, and the matter was over.
Then again, if he didn't turn the page, what else could Xu Kai do? Should he bother with a naughty widow?
The key point is that Su Zui is not Fan Linglong's mother, but his mother-in-law. If it were someone else, who would dare to tease Xu Kai like this?
The target is Su Zui. Not only does Xu Kai have to hold his nose and not argue with Su Zui, he also has to find ways to make Su Zui happy and help her get over the pain of losing her husband.
If you want to make someone happy, there may be nothing more effective than watching "Happy Comedians" live.
So, when the recording of "Happy Comedian" officially started, Xu Kai got some audience tickets for Fan Linglong and Su Zui, as well as Xu Kai's other women who wanted to watch "Happy Comedian", including Shi Jiahui, Shen Hehe, Si Peizhi, Gu Linlin, Zhao Lili and other people Xu Kai knew well...
…
Xu Kai prepared for "Happy Comedian" for more than three months, which was almost twice as long as the time he spent on "Ten Miles of Foreign Land 2".
The first season of "Happy Comedian" had a total advertising sponsorship of less than 90 million yuan - the largest exclusive sponsorship fee was won by Lao Fangping Liquor for 50 million yuan, and all other advertising fees totaled less than 40 million yuan.
A program has many sponsors, many different time periods, and different locations, which can be divided into three levels. Each level has a different number of advertisements and different prices.
If it is a popular variety show, like "Extreme Challenge" in the previous life, the exclusive sponsorship fee for one season alone is as high as 400 million yuan. If all the advertising sponsorships are added together, even if it is less than 1 billion yuan, it must be 700 or 800 million yuan.
For Xu Kai, if it's for money, it's okay to do a variety show like "Extreme Challenge".
As for "Happy Comedians"? Xu Kai had never done a variety show before, which inevitably makes people doubt Xu Kai's ability to do variety shows.
Moreover, "Happy Comedians" is still a thankless comedy competition. Who knows what Xu Kaihui will make of it?
Fortunately——
Xu Kai found Zhao Laogen's apprentice and the now popular Fuyun Club. Except for Happy Maizi, several groups of contestants were also quite famous. After all, Xu Kai was the most popular film director.
In this way, Shanghai TV was able to sell the advertising sponsorship of "Happy Comedian" to nearly 90 million, otherwise it would not even be able to get this amount of advertising sponsorship.
The advertising sponsorship agreement signed between Kai Xin Mai Zi and Shanghai TV for the first season of "Happy Comedian" was 50-50.
In other words, Happy Wheat could only get less than 45 million in advertising sponsorship.
The key is that the notification fees of the six groups of contestants, the transportation, accommodation and food expenses of the contestants and their team members must all be borne by Happy Maizi.
After deducting all these expenses, Happy Maizi would not even have 20 million left.
If the cost of Xu Kai setting up Happy Wheat Comedians is taken into account, Xu Kai will still have to pay tens of millions in compensation.
It can be said that Xu Kai's "Happy Comedian" is costly, laborious and time-consuming. Many people can't understand why Xu Kai wants to do "Happy Comedian". With this time, Xu Kai can do anything and make a lot of money.
No one could understand Xu Kai's actions.
…
After more than two months of advertising.
In mid-November, the recording of "Happy Comedian" officially began! Outside the gate No. 3 of Shanghai TV Station, a huge billboard was temporarily placed with the logo and poster of the program "Happy Comedian". Next to it stood a gilded statue. The most notable feature of the statue, besides its golden color, was that it was smiling and bending over. Although it was not handsome, one could see the sincerity and joy in its smile.
A long red carpet was laid in the aisle, extending all the way to the parking platform. Several staff members were standing by and watching, with instructions coming from the walkie-talkies on their bodies from time to time.
"Attention all units, Team 1, the Northeast Folk Art Troupe has arrived, and staff are ready to pick up the car."
Commands came from the walkie-talkie, and the staff and photographers went to greet them. The assistant director took the car on behalf of the program group, spoke briefly to the artists, and then signaled the group to walk on the red carpet towards the gate.
Zhao Laogen really gave face to Xu Kai. This time he sent all his best disciples, and the leaders were the currently most popular Shen Yang and Song Bao, who had the most talent for skit performance.
"Wow! Such a big golden man! Can it be real gold?" Song Bao trotted to the statue, hugged it without caring about his image, and deliberately put his face against the statue's face.
"Hey, hey! Pay attention to your image! Why are you opening your mouth? You don't want to take a bite to see if it's made of pure gold?" Shen Yang hurriedly grabbed Song Bao.
This was a joke deliberately put together by Shen Yang and Song Bao, the purpose of which was of course to attract attention.
The photographer followed Shen Yang, Song Bao and others into the door, and a large billboard immediately caught the eyes of the people from the Northeast Folk Art Troupe.
The top of the billboard has the four big words "Contestants" written on it, and the bottom is divided into six vertical grids, marked with numbers 1-6, all covered with black cloth. The number 1 on the far left has been torn off, revealing the portraits of Shenyang and Song Bao.
The host at the back asked, "Do you want to know who the other contestants are?"
“Think about it!”
"Director, can I tear it up by myself?"
The host on location said mercilessly: "No."
The Northeast Folk Art Troupe is one of the oldest comedy teams in the country. It has been famous for more than 20 years, has appeared on the Spring Festival Gala more than a dozen times, and has trained dozens of comedy stars, bringing countless joy to ordinary Chinese people. Its core figure, Zhao Laogen, even if he cannot be rated as the number one comedian in China, will definitely be among the top three.
There is no doubt that the Northeast Folk Art Troupe is definitely the biggest star this time, even if Zhao Laogen did not come in person.
Shortly after Shenyang, Song Bao and others entered the venue, the walkie-talkie notified them that Team No. 2 had also arrived.
Team No. 2 is Cao Jin and Liu Tian from Fuyun Society.
Guo Fu still did not listen to Xu Kai, but chose his favorite third apprentice to partner with him.
Team No. 3 is Zhang Xiaosu and Zhen Xiaoling.
Team No. 4 is Wang Jian and his talk show team.
Team No. 5 is Yang Tianci.
Team No. 6 is the comedians from Happy Wheat, led by Xu Li.
Six groups of contestants appeared on stage one after another...

PS:
All the monthly tickets and additional chapters have been paid off.
From now on, I will update more for the 100 additional average subscriptions that were added last month.
By the way, if these ten chapters are completed, I will have no reason to add more chapters - it seems that there are a few people who have rewarded me, but it is definitely not much, at most three or five chapters.
I want to write more, finish it faster, and earn more money.
So please support me.
Hmm...let me explain it in detail.
I beg everyone to subscribe to all of them if possible - this is the cheapest. Even if you haven't subscribed to even one chapter, it's less than ten dollars and you can increase my average subscription, which will give me great support. This is also the easiest way to add more chapters. An increase of 100 average subscriptions can add ten more chapters.
I'm asking for more rewards. If you reward 100 yuan, I'll add one more chapter. No cheating!
