Chapter 64 What do you want?

After calling Lisa, Xu Qing put down the phone, and then called Tony again. The content of the conversation was similar, and he also said that he wanted to treat him to dinner.

Xu Qing wanted to get something out of Tony's mouth. Hua Qing gave him such a blow. If he didn't find a chance to take revenge, Xu Qing felt that he would never be able to get rid of this bad attitude.

After arranging this, Xu Qing began to check Hu Kexuan's past to see if there was anything he could use.

The next day came quickly, and it was time to have dinner as agreed with Lisa.

Lisa has a characteristic that everyone admires no matter whether she is a friend or an opponent, that is, she does what she says, she comes out to fool around, and even if I say I will kill you... I'm sorry, I am making fun of her.

If you say dress up beautifully, dress up beautifully.

So, Lisa, who was wearing high heels, a black dress, Te Yi's hair style, and many expensive jewelry, and Xu Qing, who was wearing short sleeves and slippers, entered a Sichuan restaurant.

Fortunately, this Sichuan restaurant has private rooms, otherwise Lisa would have taken off her high heels on the spot and smashed Xu Qing, a tasteless thing, to death.

She really wanted to ask, did this bitch Xu Qing not understand what she meant?

She even said that she wanted to dress up beautifully.

Since everyone is dressed up, of course they are not really here to eat. It is only normal for everyone to find an elegant environment to have a drink and then talk about things.

It would be better for you to really take people to eat when you say you want to eat. What you ordered is all the food. It’s very tiring to eat in a dress, and you can’t hold your stomach.

Complaints are complaints, Lisa ate every bite. She thought the food here was pretty good, but still not as good as the Sichuan cuisine restaurant at the back door of their university. After studying for several years, Lisa didn’t know where to eat in that Sichuan cuisine restaurant.

How many meals.

Thinking of this, Lisa also understood why Xu Qing wanted to treat her to Sichuan food. Xu Qing obviously knew about her taste preference.

Finally, after eating three bowls of rice, Lisa put down her rice bowl with satisfaction. She wiped her mouth, picked up the drink next to her and took a sip before saying to Xu Qing: "Tell me, what's the matter?"

Seeing that Lisa was full, Xu Qing also put down his rice bowl, wiped his hands, took out a stack of documents from his bag, handed it over and said, "You take a look at this first."

Lisa was a little confused and found out that there were a few big words written on the cover of this stack of documents.

"Happy Comedian" variety show planning project.

"What does this mean?" Lisa asked doubtfully without opening it.

Xu Qing took a sip of the drink, but still did not answer directly. Instead, he said to Lisa: "Take a look and then talk."

After hearing this, Lisa no longer asked, but looked through the books.

I watched this for more than half an hour.

After reading it, Lisa did not make any comments, but continued the question just now: "What do you mean?"

"I'll give you a plan for a variety show."

"Why are you giving this to me?" Lisa was puzzled.

"The founding of the team is about to end. You have been very successful this season. I guess you will definitely do a second season. However, I think if you are still the chief director of the second season, it will not mean anything to you.

It means so much that you can leave it to your subordinates. As for yourself, you can try other styles of variety shows.

Think about it, if you can produce two popular variety shows, your voice in the company will be greater." Xu Qing said with a smile.

Lisa was unmoved when she heard these words, but then asked: "Can you guarantee that this happy comedian of yours will succeed?"

"I can't guarantee it." Xu Qing shook his head. The Happy Comedians succeeded on Earth, but they may not succeed on Blue Star. There are still some differences between the two worlds.

Take skits, cross talk and other folk art forms as an example, they have always been very popular on earth, but when Xu Qing first came to Blue Star, he discovered that the cross talk here has completely declined. Without people like Guo Degang to stand up, the cross talk that can be heard now,

Or it’s the cross talk of old artists from many years ago.

Or, on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala, I saw a happy dialect-style cross talk similar to Master Jiang's, which was nothing to watch.

The same goes for sketches. In addition to being seen at the Spring Festival Gala, you can also see them at other parties similar to the Spring Festival Gala.

A large number of comedians have no food and are forced to turn to acting in movies and TV dramas. There are still some comedians who still insist on doing small theater performances and are in a state of death. Even the cross talk of Shi Qingsheng, the only cross talk master in the country,

Tickets for the special event can't be sold much, let alone for other people.

Xu Qing thought about it and felt that there is a chance that happy comedians can succeed here. After all, there are too many comedians who need this stage, and the audience also needs a refreshing comedy show.

There are a total of 7 seasons of The Happy Comedian on Earth, and the ratings are getting lower every season.

Xu Qing thinks there are three reasons for this.

The first point is the audience's aesthetic fatigue. This is the case with programs. It's fresh when you first watch it, but it becomes less and less exciting later on.

The second point is that the creator's creative ability has declined, and all kinds of bad jokes and embarrassing scenes are filled with normal performances, leaving the audience confused.

The third point is that there is something wrong with the creator's thinking, which is also the most important point.

Later comedians fell into a strange circle, that is, they fell in love with value and used sensationalism.

Xu Qing doesn’t want to comment on the value of a group of people who don’t know what they mean by telling you about their outlook on life, values, and worldview. It’s funny no matter how you look at it. Sometimes Xu Qing wants to ask, who are you, what is your education, what books do you have, what are your

Apart from being a street actor, do you have any other achievements?

If not, what qualifications do you have to teach me how to do things? Your greatest contribution is to do your job well as a comedian, instead of talking to the audience and trying to teach the audience something.

The reason why this group of people are willing to engage in sensationalism is actually because the outside world has marketed the phrase "the core of comedy is tragedy" so well that these comedians have forgotten the shell of the comedy and focused on the core. But even so, the core

It didn't work out well either.

Anyway, no matter what happens in the beginning, the ending must give you a tragic core, so as to prove that your performance is high-level.

This is so fucking funny.

It's like the core of a mobile phone is the chip, so the mobile phone only gives you the chip and nothing else.

So is this mobile phone still a mobile phone?

If a comedy only has a tragic core, is it still a comedy?

So why do these comedians have to do this? This goes back to the second reason, which is because their creative ability has declined.

Because my creative ability has declined, I can't make good comedies, so I can only rely on sensationalism to forcibly improve the style of my works.

And because I didn't think about making progress and only thought about sensationalism, I couldn't improve my creative ability at all, and gradually fell into an endless cycle.

This is the main reason why Comedy Comedy gets harder to watch with each passing season.

But objectively speaking, the program creativity of the happy comedians is still good.

Therefore, Xu Qing bought the Happy Comedian's plan from the system. It was not expensive and cost 10 points.

In fact, Xu Qing can write it himself, but he is afraid that he can't write it well. Some programs pay great attention to details. If the details are wrong, everything will be in vain.

Moreover, the audience of a show could only see what was on the front stage, and the backstage was completely dark. It was impossible for Xu Qing to guess out of thin air, so Xu Qing bought this thing anyway. Anyway, there is a two-yuan store in the System Earth Mall.

It feels like I don’t feel distressed at all when I buy something.

When Lisa heard Xu Qing say that she was not sure, she paid more attention to the plan. She could see that it was a good program plan, and the program should be successful when it was produced, but she still wanted to ask: "The program

It’s good, but there seems to be some problem with the income.”

"It is true that the possibility of betting on this show is not high, and the sponsor income is difficult to quantify." Xu Qing still has a very clear understanding of this show. The betting thing is actually very targeted, and a group of comedians

, it is difficult to engage in betting.

"Then I might as well start the second season of the team."

"It's different. Tell me, what type of film has the highest box office revenue in the film market now?" Xu Qing suddenly changed his mind.

"Special effects blockbuster." Lisa said the answer without hesitation, but after a moment she suddenly realized and added: "Comedy?"

"Yes, comedy will never go out of style at any time, and the cost of comedy is low. As long as it is funny enough, you don't have to worry about making money. However, if comedy wants to shine, good comedians are indispensable." Xu Qing pointed out.

nodded.

"Most domestic comedians are mediocre now. Through this competition, I can select some outstanding ones to sign up for my company?" Lisa instantly understood what Xu Qing meant.

"Let me correct you, I'm not just average, but I can't survive anymore. I checked on the Internet and found that 80% of the famous comedians in China don't even have an agency. They rely on themselves.

The relationship is running smoothly.

Those comedy movies that are released every year are always acted by the same few people. Other comedians have nothing to eat. You say, there is a stage, and you invite them to come, will they come? You have such a big business like Tengyu

Company, if you sign with them, will they sign or not?" Xu Qing said with a bewildering tone.

Lisa was obviously moved, and she quickly made a calculation in her mind.

There are three costs for running a variety show, one is the production cost, one is the cost of inviting guests, and the other is the cost of promotion. Today's comedians can't even compare with the appearance fees of trainees, and the cost of guests is almost nothing.

In terms of production costs, the whole process of Happy Comedian is in-house, so the cost has to be reduced a lot.

As for the cost of publicity and distribution, whether it is a variety show or anything else, it is required, so it is a fixed expense.

In other words, if you calculate it this way, as long as you recruit one or two sponsors and do such a program, you won't lose much money, but the subsequent benefits will be unlimited.

By signing those comedians, even if some of them can't make movies in the future, they can still make a lot of money by being clowns in variety shows.

No matter how you calculate it, it’s not a loss.

Since it's not a loss, it's natural to ask Xu Qing what he wants from this planning project?

So, Lisa asked directly: "What do you want?"
