"To be honest, when I was preparing to start this variety show, I had no confidence at all. After all, there are very few outdoor adventure and live broadcast programs like this. They are niche and the ratings are not very good. Most of them are filmed for one or two episodes or halfway through, but they are hastily ended due to funding problems."
"As everyone knows, apart from public welfare films, whether it's filming dramas or variety shows, it's all for ratings and making money."
"Although I have already achieved great success, I am also a realistic person. I do variety shows to make money."
Zhang Guoping adjusted his glasses, paused for a moment, and continued, "So I hope everyone will support 'Wilderness Jungle Adventure.' At the same time, I would also like to thank Master Jiang and the other guests for gracing this variety show with their presence. I don't know how the ratings will be when it airs, but I can assure you that this variety show is absolutely unscripted and is all about authenticity."
Zhang Guoping's words were clearly heard not only by the reporters present but also by those in the live broadcast studio.
But no one objected to Zhang Guoping saying that, and no one felt that reality was wrong.
after all--
People need to eat.
If you're making movies and variety shows not for ratings or to make money, then what are you making them for?
Generating electricity for love?
People who generate electricity out of love would have starved to death long ago.
On the contrary, they admire Zhang Guoping for daring to say these words in front of netizens from all over the country, which is much better than those who say they don't make money but only want to make the audience happy, while secretly making a fortune.
Furthermore, Zhang Guoping has used a significant portion of his earnings for charitable purposes.
They love watching Master Jiang. Zhang Guoping invited Master Jiang, so they will enjoy watching it, and Zhang Guoping will also make money. The profits from this variety show will be donated to charity unions or charitable organizations.
What is this called?
This is a win-win-win situation!
Countless comments flooded the public chat of the live stream.
[What nonsense is Director Zhang spouting? With Master Jiang on this show, how could the ratings be bad?]
Is Director Zhang underestimating Master Jiang's influence or underestimating us?
I can't wait for this variety show to air tomorrow! I'm going to drag my grandparents and all my relatives to watch it together!
Even without Master Jiang, I would still watch it for Director Zhang. Director Zhang's variety shows generally have high ratings and are quite authentic and funny, much better than that other show next door that just edits things haphazardly and unfairly criticizes people.
I don't know about others, but I'm definitely watching it. I even downloaded Pingyin (a Chinese video-sharing platform) for it. Anyone understand? I usually only watch videos and live streams on Kuaishou (a Chinese short video platform), but now I downloaded Pingyin specifically for this variety show!
[Say no, me too! Pingyin really has an eye for talent, and they acted so fast. The moment the news broke, they immediately partnered with Yinying for an exclusive broadcast!]
How could someone with such poor judgment have found a treasure like Master Jiang?
...
"The purpose of today's promotional event is simply to introduce our guests and let everyone get to know them," Zhang Guoping continued, a cunning glint in his old eyes as his gaze fell on Jiang Yuan.
"This is Master Jiang, whom I believe everyone is familiar with. I am honored to have Master Jiang participate in my variety show," Zhang Guoping introduced to the reporters with a smile.
"Thinking about it carefully, I regret not meeting Master Jiang sooner. If I had, I would definitely have signed him to my company."
"I heard that the company Master Jiang used to work for not only terminated his contract, but also made him pay compensation?"
Zhang Guoping asked the question like a gossip reporter.
If he had discovered Jiang Yuan before she signed with Star Shadow Company, he would definitely have signed her.
Even if she can't act or sing and dance, it doesn't matter. With her face, she can attract a lot of attention just by standing quietly to the side without saying a word.
Even if she doesn't know anything, signing her to work as a face or mascot for the audio-visual company would be a good idea.
Unfortunately, by the time he discovered Jiang Yuan, she had already signed with a subsidiary of Xingying.
After that, all he heard were rumors about Jiang Yuan, and then...
Suddenly, it was announced that she had been terminated from her contract, and then Jiang Yuan disappeared from everyone's sight, becoming Master Jiang in a short period of time.
If the company that signed Jiang Yuan was smart enough, they shouldn't have let her take the path of becoming famous through controversy, nor should they have terminated her contract after using her to gain popularity and make a lot of money.
Like Jiang Yuan back then, who had no works and only a lot of haters, it wouldn't cost much to support her.
However, after choosing to terminate the contract, they tried to extort a termination fee from Jiang Yuan, causing a rift between them.
If they hadn't terminated the contract back then, they could be making money off Jiang Yuan now, making a lot of money, even more than they would have made by promoting a top-tier star.
However, terminating the contract is also a good thing.
They'll benefit from terminating the contract.
This is Jiang Yuan's first time participating in a variety show since her live stream, and he is also the first person to invite Jiang Yuan.
That alone is enough to generate buzz.
He'll have to treat Bai Yu to a meal another day to properly thank him.
When the reporters heard Zhang Guoping mention that Jiang Yuan used to be involved in the entertainment industry, they all turned their microphones toward Jiang Yuan.
They came early today, not for Jiang Yusi and Lin Yuwei, but for Jiang Yuan.
Jiang Yusi, Lin Yuwei, and the others are now just bystanders in their eyes; their main purpose is to interview Jiang Yuan.
Zhang Guoping was also bold, daring to mention Jiang Yuan's previous company in front of the media and during live broadcasts.
His words were not only about the company, but also a reminder to everyone that many people had criticized Jiang Yuan in the past.
Jiang Yuan frowned slightly, not expecting Zhang Guoping to bring up the past.
