Wednesday, May 21, 2003.
At 3 o'clock in the afternoon, Sun Tao and Qin Boya, who had traveled most of China in two weeks, returned to Wu'an.
"Damn it, do you need to be so exaggerated? Who is this old man for such a big brand?"
In just over half a month, there are countless posters and newly erected billboards on the streets and alleys of Wu'an, creating a prosperous atmosphere.
Of course, she wouldn't be so surprised if the billboard showed a normal advertisement or a handsome man and beautiful woman Qin Boya wearing a certain brand of clothing, but she was still shocked by the skinny old man practicing bodybuilding.
The taxi driver glanced at the rearview mirror. The two people in the back seat were both wearing sunglasses. Although they couldn't see their faces clearly, he could tell from their chatting that they were in the entertainment industry.
The taxi driver smiled contemptuously and said, "You two, are you coming to Wu'an to participate in "China's Got Talent"?"
Sun Tao smiled slightly, "Why do you say that?"
"It's not easy to guess. There are only 90 places in Northeast China, and we have 10 of them in Wu'an County. Everyone thinks it's easy here and they try their best to squeeze in. But I advise you, it's useless to try all these crooked ways. ”
Sun Tao asked enthusiastically, "How do you know it's useless if you haven't tried it?"
The driver curled his lips and said lazily: "Have you never studied the competition system? Oh, I don't know how Sun Tao's head is so big that he can think of all kinds of bad moves. It turns out that we thought this time's "China's Got Talent" is It turns out that the upgraded version of "Wu'an Talent Show" is a repeat of the schedule that Wu'an has played. Who knows that it is not the case at all.
Alas, it turns out that although the talent show also includes magic, acrobatics, and so on, they are all side effects. The actors really don’t expect to advance. They just want to earn a chance to perform and show their faces in front of everyone. But this time, it’s better. I fucking see It took me a week to understand that this show is all about you, the one who sings while standing on his head, the one who plays the piano with his feet, and the old girl who was shocked just now, the retired old man watching the door who practices bodybuilding..."
Qin Boya snorted, "Humph, isn't singing and dancing still mainstream? It has nothing to do with whether we can be in the top ten!"
"Hehehehe, old girl, you are so stubborn. What am I telling you? The competition system. I don't know if you have watched this audition. It turns out that in the "Wu'an Talent Show", don't care how bad your performance was. , if you dare to sign up, you will be given three to five minutes of performance time. This time, it’s great. Someone just came on the stage and he didn’t even finish introducing himself. All three judges gave him an X..."
……
Qin Boya smiled and looked at Sun Tao pouting at him. This matter was actually written by Sun Tao in the planning plan. Many people questioned it at the time, but Sun Tao didn't explain it and just let everyone go.
Everyone understood it at first, but it wasn't until Wu'an's first unlucky egg was born that the ratings soared when other stations broadcast the behind-the-scenes footage. Only then did everyone realize that variety shows are not afraid of controversy, but they are afraid of no one paying attention.
Nowadays, there are unlucky guys who are eliminated immediately after appearing in every competition. As a result, people are talking about this matter online and offline, and some directors are worried that it will cause a backlash from public opinion. However, the result is that there is no need for the TV station itself to come forward, there are many "understanding people" Take the initiative.
[If you are eliminated, you will be eliminated. The competition system does not say that if you are eliminated here, you cannot register in other competition areas]
[That is, is it because you can’t afford the train ticket or you don’t have confidence in yourself? 】
[Hey, I don’t understand. The contestants haven’t even started to be introduced yet. How can the judges eliminate them? 】
[It’s very strange, isn’t it stated in the competition system that the audition judges have the right to decide whether or not the contestants should be based on their personal preferences, and it’s weird enough to be disliked by three judges at the same time...]
There was a director at Southeast Channel who complimented Sun Tao, but Sun Tao said lightly, "When that unlucky guy successfully advances to another competition area, even if he doesn't advance, just by introducing himself, it will trigger the next round of topics..." ……
The driver said, "Oh, shit, I'm off topic. Where did I just talk? By the way, the competition system, let me talk about whether you can make it into the top ten. The audition depends on the judges. If three people show their numbers, you can advance. But what's the point of you outsiders just getting promoted? Look at that old guy, oh, he's the one who practices bodybuilding. I heard that a gym in Siping paid him 50,000 yuan a year to be an endorsement.
What about you? No one must have invited me. Who knows you?
Oh, let me continue to talk about the top ten. The promotion judges decide. The second round of performances is scored by the lucky audience. Let me tell you, I also signed up. Unfortunately, I have not been drawn in these few performances. Hahaha, you just If you want to go, the lucky local viewers in Wu'an will vote for you out-of-towners!
Hey, have you seen that restaurant? 'Han Lao Liu Xiao Chao' is the most popular restaurant in Wu'an now. Sun Tao personally recommended it. There is a saying now that if you haven't eaten 'Han Lao Liu Xiao Chao', you haven't been to Wu'an. ...Hahaha, I don’t know where Sun Tao went. I heard that many shop owners put small notes under the door of Sun Tao’s company and invited him to try it..."
The taxi stopped at the main entrance of Happy Home, and Sun Tao paid and got off.
——
Unit 301, Building 6, Xingfujiayuan.
Sun Tao opened the door and stood stunned for a moment. Qin Boya pushed him behind him, "Come in, what are you doing at the door?"
"Hello, boss!" "Hello, Manager Qin!"
There are four desks, computers, printers, and water dispensers in the living room.
There were two girls sitting at four tables, one was Du Juan and the other was probably Xiao Lu.
Sun Tao walked into the room, "Everyone, sit down and do whatever you have to do and leave me alone."
……
Sun Tao and Qin Boya went around in a circle. The layout of the house was not changed at all. They just added some furniture and turned the original residence into a company.
The master bedroom was transformed into the president's office, with a boss desk, boss chair, computer, and a big bed behind the screen; the second bedroom is the general manager's office, and the layout is almost the same without a big bed; the second bedroom has a sofa, coffee table, and projector. It can be used as a small meeting room or to entertain guests. The kitchen has become a tea break area. The coffee machine and microwave oven finally retain a bit of life.
Du Juan followed them cautiously, "Oh, Manager Li said that if everyone gets up early and stays up late, it would be much more convenient to have a microwave... The manager has gone to the TV station. How about I give her a call?"
Sun Tao looked at Du Juan and asked doubtfully: "You now?"
"I have resigned from the song and dance troupe. I am now the assistant manager."
Sun Tao nodded, "Xiao Lu is in finance, um, pretty good, work hard."
——
Qin Boya left home for half a month, took leave with Sun Tao and went back to rest.
Sun Tao entered the president's office, turned around and closed the door gently.
Sun Tao sat on the swivel chair and twisted it gently. Outside the window was the playground of Wu'an No. 3 Primary School, where a group of children were chasing and playing.
At this moment, he finally felt a little successful. (End of chapter)
