Wandering the world of film and television begins with the golden years
Chapter 388 The Troubles of Being Popular
Li Haoyu couldn't help but laugh when he heard Lin Miaomiao's吐槽 (tu cao, a Chinese internet slang term for sarcastic or critical comments). 💥💥 6➈SUⓍ.COM 🎃💞
Lin Miaomiao actually said he was a straight man.
You should know that he's a seasoned player in the dating scene.
Li Haoyu said, "Having good intentions doesn't put money at all. I'm just a producer. Besides, isn't this what the audience wants to see most? I've met their needs, and they should be thanking me."
Lin Miaomiao rolled her eyes at him with disdain.
This man really always has a lot of reasons to give.
She never saw Li Haoyu run out of words.
"By the way, weren't you busy writing a proposal? What brings you here?"
Li Haoyu stretched and asked.
After saying that, Li Haoyu got up from his desk and walked over.
Li Haoyu rubbed his lower back.
He then said to Lin Miaomiao, "The chairs in this office are really uncomfortable; they've made my back ache. Why don't you lend a hand and help your boyfriend?"
Lin Miaomiao saw that Li Haoyu looked like he was in pain.
She couldn't help but feel a little sorry for him.
"Really? I told you before not to sit in the office all the time. You should stand up and move around every hour, but you just wouldn't listen to me."
Li Haoyu was also very happy to see Lin Miaomiao fall for his trick.
His brow furrowed even more deeply. "I have no choice. There are so many things to do on this variety show. Just signing documents alone can take several hours. Who can stand that for long?"
Li Haoyu slumped onto the sofa, clutching his aching back. "I really can't take it anymore! Can you check if it's swollen? Why does it hurt so much?"
At this point, Lin Miaomiao couldn't care less about anything else.
She rushed over quickly, "Then don't move, let me take a look first. If it's serious, I'll definitely go with you to the hospital to have your back checked."
Lin Miaomiao bent down to examine his waist.
Li Haoyu felt that this feeling was really good, especially when Lin Miaomiao's hair brushed against his back. Li Haoyu felt that not only was his back a little itchy, but his mouth also became a little dry.
He held Lin Miaomiao's hand, "Press a little harder, and I feel much better."
Lin Miaomiao did not answer.
She simply followed Li Haoyu's instructions and used even more force.
Li Haoyu began to evaluate in his mind.
It's clear that Lin Miaomiao doesn't understand massage techniques at all.
Fortunately, Lin Miaomiao's hands were very smooth, and the atmosphere of the office enhanced this effect. Actually, no special skills were needed. After all, if Li Haoyu really wanted a good massage, he might as well have found a male masseur.
After all, Lin Miaomiao is beautiful.
Although it lacked any real skill, it was still quite energetic. The only downside was that she was wearing way too much clothing; Li Haoyu had to give that a huge thumbs down. 💚♢ 69s.com 😲💞
"Are you sure you don't need to go to the hospital to get checked out?"
Lin Miaomiao asked, frowning.
"Let's see. If it doesn't get better, we might really have to go to the hospital to get it checked out."
To make the performance convincing, Li Haoyu even managed to squeeze out a few humming sounds.
Lin Miaomiao said, "I don't see anything wrong with your back, and you're not heartless either. You're probably just corrupted."
When girls speak, even if the words they say seem similar, a change in tone can convey vastly different emotions.
Li Haoyu is such a cunning person.
He immediately thought of faking back pain.
Lin Miaomiao probably already figured it out.
"No way! If I were really that bad, I wouldn't have won your heart, right?"
Lin Miaomiao stopped what she was doing. "Actually, I'm also wondering why I was so bewitched and believed your nonsense."
Li Haoyu quickly stood up and said, "I wasn't faking it. I've been pulling several all-nighters these past few days for the show. Isn't it normal to have a minor problem and want my girlfriend to comfort me?"
Lin Miaomiao said, "So now you can lie to me and give me a massage. When I gave you breakfast this morning, you actually suspected I was playing a prank on you."
Li Haoyu quickly admitted defeat, "My dear wife, it's all my fault. I'm just too clueless about romance." Lin Miaomiao nodded in satisfaction after seeing Li Haoyu's reaction.
She was as happy as a smug kitten, her eyes narrowed into slits with laughter, and her neck held high reflected Lin Miaomiao's mood at that moment.
However, while Li Haoyu didn't care about admitting defeat in front of his girlfriend, he was someone who cared a lot about actual gains. As long as he could benefit, he was happy!
Before Lin Miaomiao could make a move, Li Haoyu struck first.
Li Haoyu wrapped his arms around Lin Miaomiao's waist.
"ah·····"
Lin Miaomiao gasped first, but then quickly lowered her voice, afraid of being overheard.
Her breathing also began to become heavy.
Li Haoyu began to savor the food.
Unfortunately, this happiness did not last long.
Li Haoyu wasn't paying attention and Lin Miaomiao slipped away.
He watched Lin Miaomiao's retreating figure and couldn't help but laugh.
However…! Lin Miaomiao actually wore lipstick today.
It's still strawberry flavored.
I must say, it actually tastes pretty good.

In just two days.
The annual comedy competition has once again topped the trending searches multiple times. ♠🐳 ➅9sħ𝓤א.ᶜⓞ๓ 👻👤
This is partly due to the enthusiastic promotion by fans of the romantic pairings (CP), but the majority of supporters are ordinary viewers. They have all voiced their support for the variety show, and even some mainstream media outlets have started to speak out.
According to voting data from a social media platform for the best variety show of the year, hundreds of thousands of netizens cast their votes in less than 48 hours.
Of those, 82% voted for the "Annual Comedy Contest".
They all felt that the show brought them long-lost joy, not only relieving the pressure of work and life, but also revealing the true charm of comedy.
This comedy trend is incredibly strong.
One thing is enough to prove it.
Since the annual comedy competition became a hit.
Li Haoyu had already heard that at least dozens of comedy competition programs had been approved, and the one that was moving the fastest was Hunan TV, the leader in entertainment variety shows.
The show is said to be called "Ten-Year Comedy Competition," a name clearly aimed at Jiangzhou TV, and the content is basically the same.
After all, Shonan's style of making programs... those who know, know.
Li Haoyu also knew that this kind of thing was unavoidable.
After all, it's common for TV stations to follow suit and create their own shows once a program becomes popular. However, while he can't change this situation, simply giving up isn't Li Haoyu's style.
Li Haoyu also made a phone call to the publicity department of Jiangzhou TV station.
At least let them release a press release emphasizing the originality of their program to disgust Shonan TV. Although, given Shonan TV's style, they probably wouldn't care.
But if at least some viewers are made aware of this fact, Li Haoyu's goal will have been achieved.
Since other TV stations have started to capitalize on the trend, Li Haoyu naturally can't let the publicity department of Jiangzhou TV stop.
However, filming for the actors is not yet complete, and the main promotional method will still be promotional posters. Li Haoyu asked the design department to make some program posters, guest posters, and countdown posters for the next episode.
However, this seems a bit too ordinary.
So Li Haoyu called in designers and asked them to create some fun content-based comic strips and the like. This format is still relatively novel in this era.
Compared to how it was overused in later generations, introducing it now can still have some effect.
……
This year's "Annual Comedy Competition" is incredibly popular.
This has also attracted the attention of many talk show production teams to the actors. Whether it's the recently popular Hao Shi Cheng Shuang duo or the Wang Zha duo of Jiang Long and Zhang Chi, their popularity online remains high.
Many programs have extended offers to the actors of "The Annual Comedy Competition", and the appearance fees are very attractive, comparable to those of second-tier stars.
These production teams all hope that the contestants of "The Annual Comedy Competition" can take some time to participate in the show and chat with the audience about behind-the-scenes stories of filming "The Annual Comedy Competition" and interesting anecdotes from behind the scenes.
After all, given the popularity of the "Annual Comedy Competition".
The show's ratings are sure to be good.
This is actually quite attractive to many comedians, considering that many of them struggled to even support their families before participating in the annual comedy competition.
The reason for this is simply that the domestic comedy market still lacks a complete industrial chain, with outdated business models and a lack of digital operation and technological support.
Compared to the advanced comedy industry and abundant performance venues abroad.
The development and operation of the domestic comedy market are relatively backward, and it has long been in a state of free-range development.
In fact, the contestants who made it to the show were already "mid-level players," and even they faced such a difficult situation.
The living conditions of comedians at the bottom are even worse, which leaves a large number of comedy troupes with no way to make a living, lacking continuous and stable exposure and income sources, with no one listening to their works and no one watching their performances.
They can only barely make ends meet by rehearsing after get off work and using their main job to support their side hustles.
The best example is Jiang Long. Before the show aired, he relied entirely on the production team's boxed lunches to get through more than a month of rehearsals. Otherwise, he probably wouldn't have been able to afford food at all.
Participating in the show can both earn you money and boost your fame.
Many contestants were naturally tempted.
However, they had all signed confidentiality agreements with Jiangzhou TV in advance. Without Li Haoyu's permission, none of the actors could go out freely, let alone give interviews.
Not to mention that everyone with eyes can see that "The Annual Comedy Competition" has become a hit comedy variety show of the year. If participating in an interview leads to being disliked by Li Haoyu and resulting in the later episodes being cut, it would be disastrous.
Then no one can accept this price.
Therefore, no actor dared to ask Li Haoyu to do so.
In fact, if they had just asked, Li Haoyu would most likely have agreed, as long as it wouldn't affect the show's rehearsals and broadcast.
However, Li Haoyu's reputation in the "Annual Comedy Competition" was too high, so the staff of Jiangzhou TV Station naturally didn't need to say more.
Ever since Li Haoyu handed out the one million yuan prize, everyone at the "Annual Comedy Competition" has been all smiles when they see him.
Many staff members greeted him warmly from hundreds of meters away. Now, apart from Li Haoyu's orders, no one else's words carry any weight on the set.
Everyone followed Li Haoyu's lead.
I reckon only the station director, Ou Tai, has any real influence.
And ordinary comedians need no further explanation.
It's worth noting that the scripts that made each of them famous were basically provided by Li Haoyu.
The script, the script is the foundation of a play!
This is no joke. As actors, they naturally admire Li Haoyu's talent, so they are genuinely convinced of his abilities.
Not to mention that Li Haoyu is also the executive producer of the "Annual Comedy Competition," and in the eyes of all comedians, Li Haoyu is like a dignified "patriarch."
So every actor received numerous program invitations.
But no one dared to speak to Li Haoyu.
Television stations are inherently small circles.
No news can be kept secret. Many talk show producers got wind of the situation and learned why the comedians refused.
On the one hand, they couldn't help but admire Li Haoyu's abilities and methods; Li Haoyu truly deserved to be recognized as a genius and up-and-coming producer in the industry. In such a short time, he had turned the entire production team into an impenetrable unit.
No wonder the "Annual Comedy Competition" became so popular in such a short time.
Being rejected is commonplace in the television industry, from small program announcements to program producers being rejected.
The practice of visiting a famous artist three times is commonplace. It's not unusual to spend a year or two trying to invite a popular celebrity.
If the hard approach doesn't work, try the soft approach.
The television industry is full of shrewd people. Since the contestants weren't accepting the invitation, why not try a different approach? So they shifted their focus to inviting Li Haoyu, the executive producer.
They themselves were shocked when they learned about Li Haoyu's situation.
It's worth noting that Li Haoyu had only been with Jiangzhou TV for less than a year.
He went from a TV station intern to the executive producer of a hit variety show. This isn't just a three-level jump; it's like he's been on a rocket, leveling up at lightning speed.
This is even more outrageous than any underhanded operation!
Even the station director's own son wouldn't dare to do something like this.
At first, they thought they had misread the information when they received it, but after repeatedly checking, they realized it was actually real. Then they saw that Li Haoyu's resume was very simple, consisting of only two lines.
The general director of "Mid-Autumn Festival Magical Night"
Executive producer of the annual comedy competition.
Although it's only two short lines.
But this suddenly made things make sense.
That's really awesome!
Li Haoyu's two simple lines of program experience are more convincing than a thousand words. Even they themselves were speechless when they saw them.
After all, television stations judge people by their abilities, and this person only had two programs, yet they managed to make both incredibly successful. It's truly impeccable.
So these people started using their various networks to extend invitations. The initial invitations were relatively easy to refuse; most were simply made through official channels to Jiangzhou TV station.
The only further step was that Su Qiang himself refused on Li Haoyu's behalf, and Su Qiang himself didn't take it seriously.
However, things gradually developed in ways that Su Qiang had not anticipated.
