Chapter 218 Variety Show (Part 2)
Lu Jinwen and others were cooking at the stove outside, while Jiang Ningyue and Gu Meng were cooking at the stove inside the house.
She cut the mutton into small pieces, and stir-fried it directly in the pan without marinating it. After the blood was removed, she added salt and continued stir-frying. When the skin was charred, she sprinkled cumin and chili peppers on it.
"Um!"
Gu Meng smelled the smell and said, "It smells like barbecue."
Jiang Ningyue smiled and said, "This is how you can fry lamb skewers at home. It's very simple."
"I'll have one."
Gu Meng picked up a piece of mutton, chewed it in his mouth and gave a thumbs up, "Delicious!"
"If it tastes good, eat more." Jiang Ningyue replied with a smile.
They should start their own show! I could watch them all day just sitting there together.
【The Dream Moon Party has a great victory! 】
【Yueyue can also cook! 】
[How can I marry Jiang Ningyue?]
At six o'clock in the evening, everyone finally had their meal. Each person held a teacup filled with wine and clinked glasses with a smile.
"Cheers~"
After finishing his drink, Teacher Jimmy picked up a piece of pork ribs and put it in his mouth. Before he even started chewing, he said with a boastful look on his face, "These ribs are so delicious! They go great with rice."
Gu Meng also recommended: "Try Yueyue's fried cumin lamb."
"It's not really cumin lamb," Jiang Ningyue said with a smile. "It's a stir-fry that's almost like roasted lamb. However, the lamb is cold now, so it's not very tasty."
Jimmy picked up a piece of mutton and said exaggeratedly: "Wow, it's delicious. Who said the mutton is cold? This mutton is amazing."
Jiang Ningyue: "..."
【Teacher Jimmy's emotional value is full.】
【For a cook, it would be very happy if someone praised her cooking. 】
[That big, stupid guy kept stealing the mutton.]
【This mutton looks delicious. 】
After three rounds of drinks and five dishes, Teacher Jimmy looked at the jukebox in the living room and said, "Who's going to perform a talent show? Chu Shang, do you have any new songs recently?"
Chu Shang smiled and nodded, "I recently released a new song called "You Are So Beautiful"."
After saying that, Chu Shang picked up the guitar and began to play and sing by himself.
Jiang Ningyue and Gu Meng looked at each other, and neither of them spoke.
Barrage: [Nice to listen! ]
【It sounds terrible! 】
[It sounds terrible! ]
【Brother is so handsome! 】
Teacher Jimmy smiled brightly, and after Chu Shang finished singing, he had an exaggerated expression on his face, "Wow, Xiao Chu, you sang this song so beautifully!"
"Thank you, Teacher Jimmy." Chu Shang was very happy.
As the stage manager, Mr. Jimmy naturally wouldn't ignore anyone, so he looked at Gu Meng again and said, "I heard that Mengmeng's new play "The Beginning" performed very well."
After hearing this, Chu Shang's eyes flashed with envy, wondering when he would become famous.
After hearing this, Lu Jinwen nodded and said, "This drama is very good. I've finished watching it. Mengmeng's acting has improved a lot."
Gu Meng smiled and said, "I'm so happy to be recognized by Teacher Lu."
Teacher Jimmy's eyes widened. "Isn't my approval enough?"
Several people laughed.
[“The Beginning” is good, but it’s too short.]
[Yeah, it’s over before anything happens.]
【I still want to see what happens to the male and female protagonists. 】
【It’s just a story, and that’s it.】
Teacher Jimmy added, "Mengmeng, please sing a song for everyone."
"Hurrah."
Gu Meng took out the karaoke machine and selected "Chapter." She sat next to Jiang Ningyue, leaning against her body. "Don't let the dark clouds cover the blue sky, don't let fate turn back to the boat without oars."
Several people listened to the song and hummed softly. At the climax, Gu Meng immediately handed the microphone to Jiang Ningyue. Jiang Ningyue smiled and sang into the microphone: "Whenever I've been sad, I've also been drenched by rainstorms. Flowers bloom in the mud, and I let them grow."
Chu Shang raised his arm towards the camera with an exaggerated look on his face, and his hairs were visibly standing on end.
Jimmy and Lu Jinwen also looked emotional.
When the song ended, Chu Shang spoke up immediately, "I got goosebumps and my hair stood on end."
Lu Jinwen also laughed and said, "The shocking feeling of being there is really different from listening to it on the phone."
Listening to it again, I was shocked again.
[I was attracted by it and have added it to my collection. ]
[Primitive man? Haven't you heard this song?]
【Yueyue’s songs are all very nice.】
Jimmy gave Jiang Ningyue a thumbs-up and said, "Yueyue, sing another song! I especially like your song 'As Wish'."
“I like it too!”
Several people nodded. Gu Meng brought Jiang Ningyue an electronic keyboard, and Jiang Ningyue played and sang by herself.
"You are the long road, the light in the foggy mountains."
Gu Meng continued, "I am a child, walking in your eyes."
The song quickly became a chorus, creating a heartwarming scene. A group of friends sat together, eating, drinking, and singing. They escaped the hustle and bustle of the city and forgot about life's troubles.
Indeed, it is a life I long for.
This picture is so beautiful.
【I declare this the best variety show of 2020! 】
[Deified]
——
After the first episode of the first season was broadcast, "Longing" immediately became an internet sensation and instantly became the most popular variety show on the internet.
The phone lines of Penguin and Shannan TV's investment promotion department were flooded with calls, with many companies asking about matters related to naming and sponsorship.
Jiang Ningyue's opinion is also important. Title sponsorships are welcome, as are sponsorships. However, they can't just read out the commercials for five minutes. Too many title sponsors is annoying. Similarly, it can lower the quality of the variety show.
Finally, a milk company signed the naming rights for 300 million yuan. After three episodes, the popularity of "Longing" continued to grow, and five more sponsors were signed. Each of them paid 50 million yuan for advertising during the season.
This means that the company has earned 550 million yuan from advertising alone, not including revenue from peripheral products, copyright operations, etc. As a professional company, Penguin should have no problem making over 1 billion yuan in profit from the first season of the variety show under their management.
After the variety show became popular, many companies wanted to pay their artists to appear on it. Jiang Ningyue's advice was simple: keep it simple and don't crowd in dozens of people. It's clearly a life you long for, but it turns out to be a "disastrous" life.
In addition, the variety show will regularly receive "flying guests", which can be regarded as adding some fun and highlights.
In the third episode, Jiang Ningyue brought Gu Meng and Chu Shang to the largest "big market" nearby.
The so-called "big market" is a weekly free market in rural areas. After all, the rural infrastructure is not up to par, and if you want to buy something, you have to go to the county town or wait for the big market.
There is everything at the market, not only vegetables, but also various snacks, clothes, dogs, and even horses.
All in all, it's a feast for the eyes.
Gu Meng saw a Border Collie puppy at the market and said excitedly, "Yueyue, buy this for me!"
Chu Shang blinked and said, "Sister, we only have 200 yuan."
"It's okay." Gu Meng said with a smile, "Yueyue has money."
Chu Shang thought about it and shut up. The director didn't dare to refute Jiang Ningyue.
"All right."
Jiang Ningyue nodded, "Then after the show is finished, will you support me?"
"Okay."
Gu Meng nodded repeatedly, her eyes never leaving the Border Collie when she spoke, "I'll raise it."
Just like that, Gu Meng left with the black and white Border Collie in her arms.
