Liu Shishi did not have many scenes, so even during periodic shoots, she often had half a day free. When she had no scenes to shoot, she would stay in her hotel room and watch TV.
In some rare cases, Tang Yan or an actress she is friends with happens to have no roles to play, so they can go out for a walk together.
But it was so hot outside that there was not much to do, so most people just bought some food and drinks and then stayed in the room together to enjoy the air conditioning and play.
When Wei Yang knocked on the door, it was Tang Yan who opened it for her.
There were four other people in the room, two of whom were their assistants and two actresses.
One plays Lin Wan'er's best friend Ye Ling'er, and the other plays Lin Wan'er's maid.
The actors who played these two roles had many rival scenes with Liu Shishi in the play, and they inevitably had some communication in private. They had a pretty good relationship and would make plans to play together when they were not busy.
At this time, six people were playing cards together, four of them left the game and two came on as substitutes.
Tang Yan, who opened the door, was naturally a substitute, while Liu Shishi, who was playing cards, had several notes stuck on her face.
Wei Yang was a little disgusted when he saw this: "You didn't put it on with saliva, did you?"
Although they have to avoid suspicion on the crew, they can't help but kiss each other sometimes when they are alone. If several people saliva, he will be the one who gets disgusted.
It’s okay for Tang Yan, but he doesn’t have such a strong taste for others.
"What are you thinking about?"
The people present basically knew the situation of the two people. They understood immediately after hearing what was said, and either blushed or laughed. Liu Shishi rolled his eyes at him and pointed to a cup next to him, which should be a sticker with water.
"Use toothpaste. Water won't stick to it."
Wei Yang didn't seem embarrassed at all, and even helped to come up with ideas. When it came to punishment for playing cards, he was an expert.
However, his suggestion was not accepted. It was just a game, so the punishment was not serious. He could just use water to stick it back together. But using toothpaste would get it all over his face, which would not only smell good but also hurt his skin.
Rough men don't care, just wash their faces, but girls, especially those who make a living by their looks, don't want to be "dirty" like this...
Wei Yang came in and chatted for a few words. The others knew that someone was looking for Liu Shishi for something, so they immediately found an excuse to leave.
Only Tang Yan had a "low EQ" and was reluctant to leave. Liu Shishi didn't want to chase her away directly, so she simply asked Wei Yang to play Landlord with Tang Yan.
Three people playing poker together!
Wei Yang had also had this kind of scene in his dream, but the poker he played was not this kind of poker...
"A pair of three."
The prize was to post notes instead of taking off clothes, which made Wei Yang not very interested in playing cards.
I was playing cards casually while watching the TV playing background music. What was broadcasting on the screen was a rerun of "The Voice of China".
This summer, in addition to the exciting TV series and movies, the entertainment industry also has a phenomenal variety show.
"The Voice of China" was launched with great success, becoming the new king of talent show variety shows with its wonderful stage performances and novel audition model. It not only created and made famous a large number of contestants, but also made the four mentors famous.
Interestingly, the new contestant on stage happened to sing Wei Yang’s representative work "Light Chaser".
Seeing that Wei Yang was serious, Liu Shishi temporarily stopped the card game and took out the remote control to turn up the volume.
Tang Yan has watched this program and commented on the contestants' performances in a serious manner and also shared a discovery.
"There are quite a few of your songs on this show, in addition to "Light Chaser", I think there are also "Love Sorrow" and "I Remember"."
"How are your grades?"
“It seems the one who sang ‘I Remember’ was eliminated?”
To be honest, Wei Yang was very curious when he saw La Ying and Yang Kun "enjoying" the songs on the screen.
What would happen if a contestant sang "Rakshasa Haishi" in front of the two? However, if it wasn't for Daolang singing this song, it would just be a common satire, and the effect would probably be greatly reduced, and it wouldn't be associated with them. Maybe the two mentors would even express their appreciation.
Shaking his head in boredom, Wei Yang was not very interested in the content of "The Voice of China" and was thinking more about the variety show market.
For the industry, the most important thing about the rise of "The Voice of China" is not the popularity of the program or how many singers it has, but the benefits it brings.
According to industry rumors, the advertising fees for this variety show have increased from 150,000 per 15 seconds to 500,000 per 15 seconds, with an average advertising fee of more than 20 million per episode.
This does not include the exclusive sponsorship fee of Jiaduobao, which is rumored to be 60 million, and there are other miscellaneous income.
And this is only the first season. How much will it be when the second season comes next year? Others can only imagine, but Wei Yang has a rough idea.
The sponsorship fee alone for the second season of "The Voice of China" was 200 million yuan. I'm not sure about the subsequent seasons, but the prices will only go up, not down. The advertising fees have reached an exaggerated level. I heard that the total price of the first four seasons exceeded 4 billion yuan.
Wei Yang had thought about participating in this show, but his ability was not enough in the early years.

Blue Whale's main business is film and television. At that time, Wei Yang did not have enough staff just to shoot TV series, and there was no sign of movies, so how could he have the energy to think about variety shows.
Moreover, a variety show of this scale requires a huge amount of manpower and material resources. Money is a small matter. The most important thing is that talent is hard to come by.
At this stage, domestic variety show talents are basically from various TV stations, and variety shows on video websites are still in their infancy. Private companies, such as the few old variety show companies like Guangguang, have some foundation.
It is also because of this that several popular variety shows in the early days of the golden age of domestic variety shows were basically launched by various TV stations.
Only they have sufficient funds, manpower and platform advantages at this time.
Therefore, Wei Yang's conditions were not mature at that time. Later, when he had a little capital, the voices of others had already been broadcasted abroad, and the copyright had already been coveted by domestic TV stations.
However, Wei Yang is not discouraged. There are more good variety shows than "The Voice of China" and there are many opportunities to make money.
Wei Yang has some variety show ideas on hand and is also contacting some Korean variety shows, hoping to obtain domestic agency rights.
But creativity and agency rights alone are not enough. As mentioned earlier, it is unrealistic for Blue Whale to get a share of the variety show market on its own at this stage.
Let’s not consider the platform for now, the production alone is enough to worry about.
The Blue Whale team has no problem shooting TV series and movies, but shooting variety shows is another matter. Even if we invite people from Korea to give guidance, it is impossible for them to teach you from scratch. At least we need a relatively experienced team.
If you want to make a living in variety shows for a long time, you must cultivate your own production team.
However, in the early days, if you can cooperate with a mature team of a TV station, you can save a lot of effort, and the help of the TV station is also indispensable for advertising channels and broadcasting platforms.
So from the very beginning, Wei Yang understood that if Blue Whale wanted to enter the variety show industry, it would be best to reach a certain cooperation with a TV station.
However, he has not yet decided which company to cooperate with, how to distribute the profits, how to maintain independence and train the team, and how to untie the ties in the future. These issues need to be considered.
Looking at Wei Yang who was inexplicably lost in thought, Liu Shishi and Tang Yan looked at each other, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, but also a bit of familiarity.
Wei Yang is a successful businessman and an excellent creator. He often thinks about business layout or writing inspiration. He often gets distracted for no apparent reason and then becomes a thinker.
Both of them had experienced similar situations and were used to it. Liu Shishi even held her chin up and admired Wei Yang.
When the latter frowned in thought, he looked cool and serious, which was a bit charming.
Tang Yan actually liked to see Wei Yang thinking, but she was not in a good position, so she could only retreat and feel sad at such moments...
