Chapter 156 Spring Festival Gala: "Crazy Stock Investors"
For employees, the annual meeting is a lucky draw, receiving year-end bonuses and welcoming the holidays.
But for the management, it was more than just excitement. Even at the dinner table, Na Yu discussed the development direction for the next year with several of his variety show directors.
Currently, there are a total of five variety shows being broadcast by the Wrist Group, but there is only one variety show on satellite TV, which is the ace variety show "Ultimate FHM".
The other four variety shows are all online variety shows: Guo Degang's storytelling; the talk show variety show hosted by Yue Yunpeng; the rap variety show and the small group variety show of its girl group.
The broadcasts are all pretty good, especially the girl group's small group variety show. Originally, the small group variety show was just to increase the daily exposure of the girl group members. To put it bluntly, it was a variety show for fans, and it didn't need a big script or anything.
It turns out that director Pao Pao, the director who Dong Qiang pulled Zhuang Ding into, is unwilling to be mediocre.
He made the variety show of the seven members of the girl group really exciting, giving them clues for them to deduce; fighting in groups to fight with wits and courage; traveling to ancient times to survive; one of the seven people went through the level and one of them was an undercover agent.
The content is very rich. From the beginning, the variety show for fans has gradually become more and more popular. Girl groups are also getting more and more attention. They even have songs in South Korea, where the idol circle is popular. They have also gained a certain reputation in Southeast Asian countries, and everyone can go there. There's a concert there.
Director Pao's talent shines through, but being a small girl group variety show is too much for him. So at this annual meeting, Na Yu specifically asked him if he had any ideas for the future. If he was given a satellite TV variety show, what would he do?
Chinese people don’t discuss things at the meeting. They usually know it before the meeting, so Pao Pao is also prepared, saying that he wants to make a variety show with distinctive characters and everyone can play a role. .
He mentioned an idea that Qi Long had mentioned before: tearing off famous brands. Decided to make this a highlight of the show!
"Everyone has seen the fitness bar I filmed for Brother Dongqiang. It was very interesting that Brother Qilong and Brother Dongqiang competed with each other. I plan to create this variety show with the two of them as the main subjects. One is at the peak of intelligence. , one is at the peak of his strength, and the other members try to choose people they know, preferably acquaintances, so there is no need to re-cultivate chemical reactions.”
Yan Min nodded aside: "I regret not letting Qi Long and Dong Qiang come together in "Men's Gang". The two of them had such a tacit understanding that they filmed a special episode about absconding. Qi Long discovered Dong Qiang as soon as he called. If you have any questions, it’s very topical. What a great idea you have!”
Dong Qiang was eating food on the side: "It's very good. I like this kind of variety show with a relatively high sports element, tearing off famous brands, hahahaha!"
"Are you forming an alliance? Dongqiang!" Qi Long turned around and asked.
Everyone at the table was happy. Na Yu held the wine glass and smiled: "The project has not been approved yet, so you are going to form an alliance?"
However, they can mention familiar people. Qi Long talked about Sha Yi, who was the worst in the "Ultimate Men's Gang" competition special, and Qin Xiaoxian, who performed outstandingly. Both of them have good variety performances, so they can Be a regular guest.
As for the rest, let’s talk about it later.
To be honest, Qi Long didn't pay much attention to the company's other variety shows before. After all, there were videos from another world waiting for him to watch.
I was surprised when I saw the data at today's annual meeting, especially the small girl group. It was a low-cost and low-investment production at the beginning, but later on, various sponsors poured in because of its popularity.
This made him a little curious, so he went to watch an episode of the show.
The story line of that program was that they were originally female students on vacation in the sitcom, but they found out when they arrived at the hotel that a zombie virus broke out. One of the seven of them was a female zombie, and they would be infected if they kissed each other. To eliminate zombies, you need water guns and special bullets.
Qi Long watched the show with great interest as it had many twists and turns. In just one episode, there were several people who impressed him deeply.
The oldest group bully with a soft and cute personality, the group bully who grew up in a single-parent family with a look that can scare away several younger sisters, the youngest who is very good at changing things up, and good sisters from the beginning to the end. It is said that the two of them There are a lot of CP fans.
The only problem is that the seven of them are relatively united, unlike men's gangs where the better the relationship, the more they get into trouble, so there is not enough firepower to fight with each other.
But the quality is already top-notch. No wonder Director Pao is valued by the company. This idea is indeed worthy of an award.
Deyunshe had sealed the boxes, and Wenger had a holiday after the annual meeting. The New Year was getting closer, and the flow of people in the imperial capital was gradually decreasing. On New Year's Eve, Qi Long felt for the first time in a long time how well the roads in the imperial capital were repaired. Spacious.
It is usually so wide, but there is too much traffic, and it is often difficult to drive. Today, there are very few cars on the street. Qi Long, who went to the Spring Festival Gala recording studio from home in advance, arrived at the studio an hour before the scheduled time. .
When he had nothing to do, he went to chat with Sa Beining, a good friend who had come earlier. While chatting, Sa Beining talked about the differences between himself and his foreign wife in educating their children.
"I came home yesterday and saw my son eating slippers. She sat aside and didn't care. I quickly stopped me and said she didn't care. She said he knew he couldn't eat it, so he didn't eat it."
Several hosts around him were happily listening to Xiao Sa's chat. He was considered the favorite of the CCTV host group, and everyone liked to play with him.
Qi Long nodded from the side: "But if you combine Chinese and Western education, your child's intelligence will grow quickly!"
"Ah? How about taking medicine? A combination of Chinese and Western medicine?" Sa Beining was confused by Qi Long's words.
Qi Long waved his hand: "I have been to Teacher Sa's kindergarten before. There was a question on the blackboard that other children couldn't understand, but his son did!"
As soon as he opened his mouth like this, Sa Beining knew that a joke was coming and followed him: "What's the question?"
"The only one without brackets, you have to fill in a word in the brackets. Did your son solve this problem by setting up unknown numbers?"
"Kindergarten kids, what unknowns are there?"
Qi Long gestured in the void, just like writing: "Xiao Xiaosa has written, let the brackets be X, X is equal to SIX minus SI!"
What he pronounced was not English words and Chinese pinyin, but letters.
"Um?"
Qi Long explained to him: "Look, does SIX minus SI equal X?"
"Indeed!"
"Six is six in English, si is four in our Pinyin, six minus four equals two, and
Sa Beining was shocked and said with a smile: "Hahaha, I can't solve this question in Chinese, Mathematics or English if there is even one bad question!" "So it's good to combine Chinese and Western learning. This is just one question, and there's more!"
Qi Longyi said that everyone around him, including Sa Beining, was also looking forward to it, hoping that he would have another "high talk". The problem this time was just a drop in the bucket.
Let the brackets be Y, Y=year-ear.
"A year is six months plus six months, which is six plus six. Ear is an ear. What does an ear look like? It looks like three, so if you plug it in, Y equals six plus six minus three. So what is Y equal to?" Qi Long asked Sa Bac Ninh.
Sa Beining replied: "Nine!"
"It's a drop in the bucket!" Qi Long spread his hands.
"Hahahahaha!" The process was quite outrageous, but a correct answer appeared. Let's just say it's magical or not, right?
"What are the cross talk actors thinking about?" Sa Beining asked happily.
Qi Long said: "When you take out your brains, they are all in one piece. When we take out our brains, they are all piece by piece, and they are all jokes!"
There was only a little time for leisure and entertainment. Soon, all the staff started to get busy. After a long period of busyness, the Spring Festival Gala officially started. Qi Long and Dong Qiang were the first language programs. After the opening song and dance, the host's speech and a song, it was time for them to appear.
Dong Qiang, who was dressed in a suit, walked to the stage first. In the standard manner of a Spring Festival Gala language performer, he smiled and held his hands with a loud laugh: "Happy New Year, audience friends!"
The audience gave him applause.
"Thank you all for giving me a round of applause. What do you think of my partner Qi Long? He has been crazy recently. He is speculating in stocks every day. He says he is a god. I think he is a nerve. Look, isn't that right? , it’s almost time to perform, and you’re still watching on your phone!” Dong Qiang pointed to the other side.
Qi Long was wearing a red coat and walked forward while looking down at his phone.
After finishing the three steps, he continued to raise his feet to go up the fourth step. Naturally, he stumbled without any focus. The performance was very realistic, and the audience burst into chuckles and applause.
Qi Long himself was startled and looked back at the audience: "Oh, there are a lot of people in the trading floor today!"
"What trading floor? This is the Spring Festival Gala. Stop looking at your phone. People are applauding. It's our turn to perform!"
Qi Long immediately looked away from the phone screen and looked at Dong Qiang: "Applause?"
"Yes!"
"Which stock has gone up?" Qi Long asked eagerly.
Dong Qiang pointed to the audience: "Everyone applauded!"
"Oh, that stock you bought has gone up, please recommend it to me!" Qi Long said as he was about to walk off the stage, but Dong Qiang grabbed him from behind and pulled him back.
"Alas." Qi Long cried out as he was dragged.
Dongqiang said to him seriously: "Okay, let's go to the show. If you mention the stock again, why are you causing trouble?"
Qi Long disdained his serious look: "Pretending to be serious, pretending, pretending, that's what bothers me!"
When he said "this", he pointed at Dongqiang.
"Whenever he hits me for trading in the stock market, I get annoyed with the banker. He is shady, harmful, and inhumane. How many investors have been harmed and how much money have been lost? To deal with the banker, you have to use a combination of punches at the top, sweep his legs at the bottom, and then spit on him."
When punching and kicking, Qi Long faced the void. When it came to spitting, he directly faced Dong Qiang who was "pretending" and said "poof".
"Hey, what do you have to do with me? Teacher Qi, with your mentality, you should stop speculating in the stock market. The stock market is risky, so you need to be cautious when investing!"
"Bullshit, don't plant crops if you listen to the cries of Lala, don't eat pork if you hear the price increase, don't buy a car if you hear odd and even numbers, don't get a wife if you hear AIDS!"
"What is this mess? If you don't believe this, you will suffer a loss sooner or later!"
"Suffering a loss? Don't curse me here. I'm telling you, I can't suffer a loss. My nickname is: Big Stick Bone!"
"Big bone? Do you want to make soup?"
"Da Bang Gu, Da Bang Gu, what I buy is the best stock on the market, so everyone calls me Da Bang Gu!" As he spoke, Qi Long began to hammer his chest, and after just two hammerings, he started to violently cough.
Gao Dongqiang pointed at him: "This body is still big and brittle. How can you be sure that you are buying the best stock?"
"I have a successful track record. I took the stock number and took a look. Hey, 666, this is going well, buy! 888, hey, this is going well, buy! 444, eh, not bad!"
"Huh? Four four four is not bad?" Dong Qiang was confused.
Qi Long waved his hand: "Don't you understand? This is the language of art workers like us. Doremi is the word for Solasi, 4 is for hair, and 444 is for hair for hair!"
"This is so shocking!" Dong Qiang pointed at Qi Long.
In this scene, he is a serious person. If it were a small theater or commercial performance, he would have to ask Qi Long: What does 456 mean?
