Chapter 138 Variety Show Artists and Crosstalk Performing Artists

"Are you going to sing by yourself?" Xu Qing was a little caught off guard by Pan Ran's sudden question. "Good guy, we just talked for a few words, and you're asking about the singing appointment?"

"How can I sing? It's a good friend of mine. After hearing "Meet" and "Little Lucky" on the Internet two days ago, he asked in the circle of friends if anyone knew you and wanted to invite you to sing.

After I saw his circle of friends, I suddenly thought, aren't you the planner of Happy Comedian? I originally wanted to go over and visit you after the recording was over, but I didn't expect to meet you here. We are quite destined." Pan Ran.

explained.

"Can I ask who your friend is?" Xu Qing continued to ask.

"Liu Yiying."

Liu Yiying?

As soon as the name was spoken, an image of a person immediately appeared in Xu Qing's mind, an image of a man in his 40s.

Liu Yiying used to be considered a first-line singer in China. She has released many songs, some of which are classic.

But basically all of his songs were released when he was young. It is estimated that he has not released a new song for ten years now. His rating on Lanyi.com has dropped again and again. He is now a middle-level second-tier artist. If he doesn't do something, maybe he will

It has to go down again.

To put it bluntly, Liu Yiying and Pan Ran debuted at about the same time, one is engaged in music and the other is engaged in hosting.

When Liu Yiying promoted a new song, she would definitely go to the show hosted by Pan Ran to promote it.

To outsiders, the two seem to have a good relationship.

"Brother Ying shouldn't be short of songs, right?" Although Liu Yiying seems a bit outdated, there should be no shortage of people to write songs for him. After all, he has been in the industry for more than 20 years, and his qualifications and resources are there.

"Que, lack of good songs. He thinks the songs you wrote are very good. He was wondering if he could try his style and write a few songs for him. The price is easy to talk about." Pan Ran said directly when he saw that the words were spoken and he didn't hide it.

Xu Qing didn't think it was tacky for Pan Ran to talk about money now, but it was tacky not to talk about money.

Moreover, Pan Ran didn't have to be so straightforward. The reason why he said so straightforwardly was actually to ask for Xu Qing's favor, which the two of them now knew very well.

Because in the current music industry, good songs are scarce. In addition to giving you money, you also have to show your face to buy good songs, otherwise they won’t give it to you at all.

As the saying goes, personal relationships are built in the process of you selling me favors, and I selling you favors.

Just making friends may be fine in school.

Most people in society still prefer to handle relationships by helping each other, especially in places like the entertainment industry. It is easy to suffer losses if you give your feelings easily. It is better to sit down and talk about the benefits.

While talking about this, Xu Qing suddenly understood why Pan Ran so abruptly brought the topic to songs.

No wonder this guy has a wide network of contacts. He will play this trick when he gets the opportunity. Can he not have a wide network of contacts?

Don't think that Pan Ran will suffer because he owes Xu Qing some favors for some reason. Although Xu Qing has released a few songs and has gradually become famous in the circle, compared to Liu Yiying, who has been in the industry for many years, her celebrity status is still far behind.

, Pan Ran owes Xu Qing a favor, but Liu Yiying owes Pan Ran a favor.

In comparison, Liu Yiying's favors are definitely worth more than Xu Qing's favors. Not to mention that Pan Ran made a lot of money in the middle, and even established a line of cooperation with Xu Qing.

Pan Ran most likely doesn't care if this line is useful now, but it might be useful in the future?

Isn’t this how resources are created?

"It's my honor to be able to help Mr. Pan's friend. For your sake, I shouldn't charge you." Xu Qing said with a smile. Although his words were polite, he showed his attitude. I am

I don't care about Liu Yiying who agreed to sing because I want to be friends with you.

Pan Ran understood what Xu Qing meant, smiled and patted Xu Qing's shoulder and said, "You still have to accept the money. I accept this favor. Let's leave a contact information. If you write it over there,

contact me."

"Okay." Xu Qing and Pan Ran exchanged contact information, chatted for a few words, and then separated.

Looking at Pan Ran's leaving figure, Xu Qing's understanding of this person improved. People who can stay in the entertainment industry for more than 20 years and remain popular do things really differently from ordinary people.

If it were me, I would never do such an abrupt thing, but she just did it, and it was so natural.

Speaking of which, Pan Ran was able to host this show largely because Lisa sold the broadcasting rights to Xiangnan Satellite TV, and Pan Ran is the head host of Xiangnan Satellite TV.

Now "Happy Comedian" is half of Xiangnan Satellite TV's own program, so there is nothing wrong with asking Pan Ran to come and support it.

Xu Qing walked to Ye Sitang's lounge while thinking about what he had just exchanged with Pan Ran.

When they entered, Ye Sitang and Jia Yugao were removing their makeup.

It is inevitable to put on makeup on stage, even if you are a man. As soon as the stage lights are on, if you don't wear makeup, the audience may be okay, but the picture captured by the camera is simply unsightly. Not to mention the person is sallow and black, and sometimes there are

Look dirty.

Therefore, sometimes it is unreasonable to criticize male actors for wearing makeup. This is a professional requirement. Many male artists do not want to wear makeup. Some makeup can seriously damage the skin.

"Brother Qing, how are you doing today?" Ye Sitang asked while removing his makeup with the help of the makeup artist.

"The audience has already told you how you performed. Keep working hard and don't let down the audience's expectations of you." Xu Qing said with a smile.

After the performance, voting was conducted on site, and the rankings will be announced in the next period, but no one knows about it now.

But Xu Qing felt that based on the feedback from the audience, Ye Sitang's ranking would not be low. He might lose to those comedians who had attended the Spring Festival Gala, but the others probably wouldn't be able to beat Ye Sitang.

That's right, two groups of contestants in this year's Happy Comedians have attended the Spring Festival Gala, and the others have also attended galas of major local stations. Even Jia Yugao has been brought to some programs by Shi Qingsheng.

Only Ye Sitang is a pure newbie.

When the audience votes, they sometimes take seniority into account, which is a weak point for newcomers.

However, there are also new talents. Ye Sitang has a sense of variety and has not been restricted. There will be more possibilities in the future. Other actors are more or less stereotyped and cannot break through without putting in a lot of effort.

In fact, after just meeting Pan, Xu Qing thought of a variety show. If he could cooperate with Pan Ran to establish the variety show, he could definitely insert Ye Sitang into that variety show as a permanent guest. Ye Sitang is a natural fit.

variety show.

As for Jia Yugao, Xingtang Club is waiting for him. Go out and find more outstanding cross talk talents and mature actors. From now on, you, Jia Yugao, will be the president of Xingtang.

If there is a tour, I will go on tour with Ye Sitang. If Ye Sitang participates in a variety show, he will be responsible for the operation of Xingtang Club. The arrangements for them will definitely be clear.

Of course, the premise of all this is that Ye Sitang and Jia Yugao must perform well in Happy Comedian, otherwise the tour will not be possible.

If the tour fails, Ye Sitang's development will be limited.

Her advantage lies in variety shows. If she wants to boldly express her own characteristics in variety shows, she must improve her status, otherwise she will not be able to compete with her seniors.

At present, it seems that Ye Sitang's best way is to improve his status through traditional culture such as folk art.

After all, Xu Qing didn't have extra singing or acting skills, so he left it to Ye Sitang to pile up works. Without works, there would be no status.

Compare a new variety star and a young cross talk artist. Although the latter may not earn as much as the former, their status in the eyes of the audience is completely different.

At least the words "young artist" sound very scary.

If you want to become a young artist, you must achieve something. If you can become famous and sell tickets on tour, and become a real pillar, it will not take two years for Ye Sitang to get this name.

With this name, Ye Sitang can feel more comfortable in future shows.

Time flies by.

Three days later, Xu Qing appeared in the office area of ​​Station D.

The office of Station D is not in Nanpei, but in Shanghai.

So the last time Huang Jian notified Xu Qing to sign the contract, Xu Qing only arrived the next day with Hu Xin.

This time, Station D notified him to come and participate in the casting.
Chapter completed!
