Chen Chichi’s incident caused quite a stir, but Wei Yang didn’t pay much attention to it.

After realizing that no one wanted to attack "Detective Chinatown", Boss Wei became much calmer. He used his energy and connections to protect public opinion about the movie. As for what happened to Chen Chichi himself, it had nothing to do with him.

Chen Chichi graduated from the Shanghai Theatre Academy, has some connections in the Shanghai circle, and also has a close relationship with Wei Yang.

However, he can help out a little in business, and everyone will benefit from it, but that doesn't mean Boss Wei is willing to clean up his mess for him.

Strictly speaking, Chen Chichi's boss is Huayi, so the one who should take the lead if something goes wrong should be Er Wang. Boss Wei didn't take a penny from him, so he has no reason or obligation to cover for him.

As I said, considering the friendship they have had over the years, Wei Yang is willing to give him a chance later.

If you wipe your butt clean, maybe he will give it a hand again. If you don't, then I'm sorry.

It's not that Wei Yang is realistic and ruthless, but that's the rule.

Otherwise, if anyone has some connection with him in the future and comes to ask him for help, he won’t be able to help.

The employees within the company will also be unsettled. After all, one of the main reasons they hand over their share is so that if something goes wrong, the company will do its best to resolve the situation for them.

If Wei Yang helps everyone without any bottom line, treating everyone the same whether they pay or not, and helping everyone regardless of their relationship, then the company's artists will definitely feel that it is unfair.

After all, Chen Chichi and Wei Yang do not have a strong relationship, their interests are not deeply tied together, and they do not have high-quality potential value.

It is quite remarkable that Wei Yang was able to keep his role in "Detective Chinatown" and was given another chance.

At the same time, this incident also reminded Wei Yang that the people in "Running Man" were not safe.

As far as he knew, Xue Zhiqian had a big scandal, Liu Feiren seemed to have had some problems, and Bao Qiang was stabbed in the back, so more than half of his emotional life was lost.

So Wei Yang notified the persons in charge of Blue Whale and Coral Entertainment to pay more attention to rest in this regard.

"Running Man" relies on its popularity. If there are a few more bombshells, the show will be seriously damaged.

So let me be frank up front, no matter what you do in private, if you keep it hidden, if it happens to affect the program, don't blame the production team for being ruthless.

In addition, there is another topic, which is what to do with a vacant guest since Chen Chichi has suspended recording this season.

There are no secrets in the circle. After Wei Yang spread the word, those who were well-informed got the news and started looking for ways to get in.

After two seasons, "Running Man" has replaced "The Voice of China" and has become the most popular variety show in mainland China.

Several regular guests have all become very famous, with popularity comparable to or even promoted to the top ranks, and their careers have taken off.

Captain Deng Chao, riding on the momentum of the movie, has become a representative of young and middle-aged male artists in mainland China.

Xue Zhiqian, one of the three live treasures, relied on the popularity of this program to feed back into his music career. He went from being an out-of-date singer to becoming one of the top stars in the Chinese music scene, and his several new songs have achieved outstanding results.

The only female guest, Dilirouba, was originally Gulinazha's little follower, but now she has surpassed her best friend and become the most popular 90s flower, becoming a top star, and her popularity is even approaching those 85 flowers.

Liu Feiren, who is close to retirement, has seen his business performance increase instead of decline at the end of his career, and he returned to the top three on the Forbes Celebrity Income List last year.

The others also benefited greatly. Even the one who performed the worst received a lot of advertising, business, and film contracts, and gained both fame and fortune.

It is no exaggeration to say that the current permanent guest position of "Running Man" is as attractive as the starring resources of top film and television productions, and in the eyes of some artists, it is even stronger.

Chen Chichi got into trouble and was temporarily kicked out, which made many people overjoyed.

His elimination has given up a ladder to success and a path to becoming famous.

Even though Blue Whale revealed that the contract was only for one season, it did not stop everyone's enthusiasm.

"Running Man" is so popular that people are vying for the guest role in a single episode, not to mention the permanent guests for an entire season.

Besides, who can say for sure that he won't be able to stay after one season? Newcomers laugh and old ones cry. The audience has a short memory. After one season, maybe no one will care about Chen Chichi who made mistakes. Aren't there many cases in this world where a substitute becomes a main player?

Amid the public outcry, even Boss Wei has to receive a lot of harassing calls every day.

"Mao Zijun?"

"Chen Chichi is known as the three most lively people in the program group, along with Xue Zhiqian and Sha Yi. The one who can top him must be more comedy-oriented and understand variety show effects. I've also seen Mao Zijun, but he doesn't have this ability."

"It's no use. I'll tell the production team to arrange a flying guest for your company. Forget about being a permanent guest."

“…”

Wei Yang hung up the phone and sighed tiredly. Even Fan Xiaopang couldn't help but call him and made a lot of conditions. It can be seen how tempting the permanent guests of "Running Man" are.

Returning to the activity seat, Gao Yuanyuan took a look and asked, "Who is it?"

"friend."

"A girl, right?"

Wei Yang spread his hands: "What did I say when your husband called? We agreed not to pry into each other's privacy."

"Who is prying into my privacy? It's not okay for friends to chat out of curiosity."

Gao Yuanyuan curled her lips. Wei Yang was about to reply when the phone rang again. He glanced at the incoming call and stood up helplessly.

"Who is Zhang Yunlong?"

"Newcomer? Are you kidding me? If I promote a newcomer for no reason, I'll be surprised if Lao Lei and Yang Tianzhen don't slam their heads on the table at me."

"Be good, just focus on filming your scene, and don't worry about this."

“…”

He hung up the phone with Da Mimi in annoyance. Although Mao Zijun, recommended by Fan Xiaopang, was not suitable, he was popular after all because of his role in "The Empress of China", so he had some confidence.

Da Mimi directly carried the newcomer out, just like the three beauties in The Legend of Sword and Fairy went into bed together - it made Boss Wei laugh.

This little girl is definitely spoiled because of her favor. I will definitely teach her a lesson when I get back...

Wei Yang, who was annoyed by the harassment, returned to his seat, thought about it, sent messages to the "Running Man" production team and Yang Tianzhen, then threw his phone to his assistant and refused to answer non-important calls.

…

Magic City, Mingguang Film and Television Park A standard film and television studio, with a golden statue of a man bending over and wearing a half-smiling clown mask at the door, which is the logo of "Happy Comedian".

It is worth mentioning that the shape of this statue comes from "Becoming Famous". The two are slightly different, but they are from the same source.

In the movie, this statue is called the "God of Entertainment", which has a joking and sarcastic meaning. In "Happy Comedians", it is called the "King of Comedy". The statue is bent over, which means bowing to take a bow, and the half-smiling clown mask leaves the smile to the audience and the sadness to himself.

The same statue has a different meaning, a larger scale, and a completely different influence.

This statue from "Happy Comedian" was unveiled in mid-January and has become popular all over the country in just over half a month.

So far, three episodes of "Happy Comedians" have been aired.

The average viewership exceeded 1.5, ranking first in the same period on Friday. The cumulative number of online broadcasts approached 1 billion. Hualuo ranked first in the network's popular variety show list, and its Douban score was 8.3, making it the comedy variety show with the best reputation.

Comedians such as Song Xiaobao, Shen Teng, Ma Li, Jia Ling, and Xiao Yueyue have also seen a surge in fame and popularity.

Before this, they were actually quite famous, and many of them had appeared on the Spring Festival Gala, but that was limited to the Gala and at most extended to offline theaters. Only a few of them had achieved a certain degree of fame through the Internet. Everyone's impression of them was both familiar and unfamiliar.

Through "Happy Comedian", these people have completely been given the opportunity to come in front of the public and the mainstream.

This is crucial for these comedians who come from sketches and crosstalk and have inherent deficiencies.

Many people in later generations categorized comedians into one large category, as if as long as they were a comedian, they could make movies and perform sketches.

This is actually the statement that came about after the rise of comedy power after programs such as "Happy Comedian".

Before this, the term "comedian" was rather vague. Generally speaking, those who made comedy movies were called movie actors, those who made sketches were called sketch actors, and those who did both were called comedians. They were well-known actors who could do well in any field.

But even for comedians, except for a small number of people, as long as they come from sketches, it is very difficult to break into the film and television industry.

There has never been a lack of contempt chains in the entertainment industry. The film and television industry is larger than the sketch circle. The important reason is that the sketch circle has a small market, a narrow upward channel, and poor monetization capabilities.

It’s still okay for those within the system, at least they can get a stable income. But those outside the system are trying their best to squeeze into the film and television industry just to make a living.

But the film and television industry is not that easy to get into!

There are few comedians with outstanding looks, and most of them cannot play the leading role. If they want to play supporting roles, there are many veteran actors in the drama circle who are familiar to everyone. Why should they use you?

Therefore, the important reason why many comedians focus on offline theaters is that they cannot squeeze into the film and television industry and can only find ways to make a living on their own.

For a comedy group like Zhao Jiaban to be successful both in the film and television industry and offline, it is already the ceiling for comedy groups. I wonder how many comedians envy them.

So for some outstanding comedians, they have no lack of strength, background, or team. What they lack is exposure and an opportunity for the outside world to get to know them.

"Happy Comedian" is such a platform that has enabled many comedians to soar to fame.

This led to the development of a huge comedy market, which benefited countless comedians. The boundaries between the sketch circle and the film and television circle began to blur, and they were collectively referred to as the comedy circle.

However, even though these comedians have already made their mark, only a few of them can show their potential.

But as long as they can be seen, they have already made plans, and the one who acted the fastest and most extensively is naturally Boss Wei.

In fact, Boss Wei had already started planning long before "Happy Comedians" was broadcast, including but not limited to investing in Happy Twist, preparing to produce comedy film and television projects, and deeply integrating PPTV with multiple comedy teams.

Just when "Happy Comedians" was popular, PPTV began to build momentum for launching two variety shows with Deyun Club.

One is "Deyun Music", which records the crosstalk performances of Deyun Club crosstalk actors such as Xiao Yueyue, extracts their essence and makes them into a collection.

PPTV obtained high-quality crosstalk content, and the young actors of Deyun Club also got a mainstream high-definition exposure platform.

The other is "Here Comes the King of Tricks", a separate collaboration with Xiao Hei Pangzi, which focuses on Xiao Hei Pangzi's stand-up comedy, and can also attract many crosstalk and storytelling enthusiasts.

In addition to Deyun Club, PPTV has also cooperated with Zhao Family Class.

First, they are preparing to spend a large amount of money to purchase the drama "Country Love 8", and it is very likely that they will keep this series for a long time in the future.

Don’t think that the quality of this drama has declined, it’s too long and boring, and no one will watch it.

On the contrary, the fact that this drama has been able to be produced for more than a dozen episodes and still has a certain influence shows that this drama still has a basic base.

Especially among the audiences in the three northeastern provinces and the north, this drama is quite popular. Although we may not make a lot of money from this drama, we will definitely not lose money.

In addition, he will collaborate with the core actors of Zhao Jiaban on several online comedy movies.

The quality does not need to be very high, the main focus is on being short, flat and fast, using low cost and short time as advantages to seize the online movie market.

Online movies have always been a market that many ordinary people have ignored, but in fact they have considerable benefits and a significant impact.

iQiyi was once a leading video website. It dared to use self-made projects as its core pillar and was the first mainstream video website to make a profit. It relied not only on high-quality dramas such as the Misty Theater, but also on a large number of "shoddy" online movies.

Most people in this world don't have such high standards for watching movies.

Many people think a movie is bad, but there are also many people who think it is okay or even like it. If the movie doesn't cost money, there is no need to be too demanding.

Some people are confused as to why a comedian keeps getting film offers despite starring in a bunch of bad online movies.

There is no doubt about it, because his audience is not you, and the website and the film company don’t care about the reputation of your movie, they only care about traffic and clicks.

For PPTV, online movies are something that cannot be given up, and the core actors of Zhao Jiaban will be good partners.

Not only the Zhao Family Class, but also Happy Twist, Love Laughter Brothers, Jia Ling Team, and even Deyun Club, as long as the work meets the requirements, they can cooperate.

However, compared to other comedy groups, Wei Yang has higher expectations for Happy Twist.

Many people have felt this.

Not only did Wei Yang acquire a stake in Happy Twist and invest in producing movies, he also arranged for its mainstays Shen and Ma to transfer some of their agency contracts to Coral Entertainment. The packaging operations and team configuration were directly improved by several levels compared to before.

Today, a huge pie fell from the sky, knocking Shen Teng and the Happy Twist team members in the rehearsal room dizzy.

"Let me go to "Run" to replace Chen Chichi?"

Shen Teng was so frightened that the wrinkles on his face smoothed out, and his voice even had a eunuch's voice. Ma Li next to him was completely stunned, and Allen and others clapped their ears in disbelief.

"You heard it right. The boss ordered it himself."

Yang Tianzhen's eyes were a little complicated. A position had been vacated in "Running Man", and he was also working to get his own artists to the top, but he didn't expect that Wei Yang would choose Shen Teng, who was not a direct descendant.

"Can I ask why?"

"The boss sees your ability."

Yang Tianzhen rolled her eyes and said, "With your current appearance, you are still worried that Boss Wei will do something bad to you." However, her words did not dispel Shen Teng's doubts. He counted on his fingers.

I have only met Boss Wei a few times in total, most of the time when I was filming "Joy of Life" and I played Senior Brother Leng opposite him.

Although they had chatted and even had meals together, Shen Teng considered himself a small character. He was not the only one there at the time, so how did he catch the eye of Boss Wei?

But no matter how many doubts you have, you still have to eat the pie, and you can't let it go even if it burns your mouth.

Shen Teng knew very well that "Happy Comedian" was a platform for him to stand out, and "Run" was his chance to soar to the sky. He seized the opportunity that would change his entire life...
