"Tiantian, believe it or not, whether it's Zhang Yimou or Feng Xiaogang, they will inevitably participate in or even direct variety shows in the future."

Wei Jundao.

Da Tiantian shook her head: "I don't believe it."

"Make a bet?"

"Just bet."

Da Tiantian was full of confidence: "If you lose, you have to compensate me with two female lead movies."

"No problem, if you lose you'll be my bed warmer for a month."

"It's a word."

Da Tiantian felt that it was impossible for her to lose, so she readily agreed.

"Are you really going to do a variety show? Why?" Da Tiantian still didn't understand.

Wei Jun said calmly: "Just think of it as me wanting to start the first year of online variety shows."

In 2013, video websites were just emerging, and online variety shows were certainly not very popular.

Wei Jun is targeting this piece of cake. The first person to try it will always get the most.

And if he does something, his spending will definitely not be small.

“I also have Station A, so I can divert traffic to Station A.

Tiantian, does the company want to invest? I can basically guarantee that this variety show will make no less money than "Fuchun Mountain Residence."

Wei Jun took the initiative to share the cake.

Why do variety shows become bigger and bigger in later generations?

Because it makes money.

If movies could not generate derivative industries and operate with capital, the profit margin of a movie would probably be lower than that of variety shows and television.

Although variety shows are low-end, it is really easy to make money.

But Mr. Wei doesn't care about money.

If his idea of ​​"Chasing Dreams in the Entertainment Industry" can be filmed, he needs official support. The scale of his work is too large, so he wants to divide the cake and bring his friends back.

Da Tiantian did not refuse Wei Jun's kindness.

Although she always looked down on variety shows, she also knew that with Wei Jun's current fame, it was basically impossible for him to lose money if he went to do variety shows.

Wei Jun wants to help her make money. Anyone who refuses such a good thing is a fool.

And Da Tiantian knew that Wei Jun must have something to ask of her.

"Tell me, what do you need me to do?"

"The sweet princess is indeed very smart."

Wei Jun smiled and said, "Please help me get in touch with the head of Radio and Television, or someone in the Propaganda Department."

Da Tiantian: "...Do you think I'm a wishing lamp? I can see whoever I want? Wei Jun, you misunderstand me."

“Tiantian, there’s no need for you and me to pretend.

In one word, can you help me make an appointment?"

Da Tiantian: “Yes…”

Wei Jun shrugged.

A sweet princess who can do everything.

Even Hollywood can be defeated with money, so how difficult is it to invite a few people?

And let alone Da Tiantian, Wei Jun can actually make an appointment with her himself.

With two consecutive films breaking box office records in the Chinese-language film industry, do you really think Wei Jun is still a small figure?

Wei Jun asked Da Tiantian to help him make connections, just to let those big guys know that Da Tiantian was on his side and he didn't necessarily want Da Tiantian to build channels for him.

Da Tiantian actually knows this too.

"Is there anything else you need me to do?" Da Tiantian asked proactively.

What Wei Jun asked her to do was actually just a piece of cake, but he gave her a big cake, which made Da Tiantian feel a little embarrassed.

Wei Jun said, "Not for now, but if this program faces any review issues later, I might need you to make a few calls for me."

"Is the show too explicit?" Datian's dessert smelled delicious.

Wei Jun laughed: "If the scale is not too big, how can online variety shows overtake others?"

Large scale is necessary.

In the Internet age, the reason why online dramas and variety shows can stand out is that they rely on their large scale.

Otherwise, how can it be better than TV dramas and variety shows broadcast on satellite TV?

"But don't worry, I know the severity will definitely not cross the line."

Wei Jun gave Da Tiantian a reassurance.

Da Tiantian nodded and said, "I believe you. When do you want to meet?"

"The sooner the better. I need to deal with the official first and then start the preparations."

"Then let's do it the day after tomorrow. You should figure out how to convince those important people when we meet."

Da Tiantian said.

"no problem."

Wei Jun had already prepared his speech several times in his mind.

the day after tomorrow.

Inside a private club.

Wei Jun and Da Tiantian met two people together: Director Cai and Deputy Director Nie!

Their identities are director and deputy director of the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television respectively.

The levels are minister and vice minister.

Wei Jun actually didn't intend to deal with such a big thing.

A variety show doesn't need to worship the pier to this extent.

But Da Tiantian has great magical powers.

Of course, Wei Jun couldn't refuse.

After a brief acquaintance, the four of them got down to business.

It was mainly a conversation between Wei Jun and Deputy Director Nie.

The top leader has to kiss the Diaoyutai.

Moreover, Wei Jun knew that Director Cai would be dismissed in two years, and his replacement would be Deputy Director Nie.

Burning Deputy Director Nie's pier in advance was a great thing for him.

"Director Wei, could you briefly tell me about the variety show 'Chasing Dreams in the Entertainment Circle'? If you want to do it, just do it. Why do you have to come to Director Cai specifically to explain that this show is special?"

Deputy Director Nie and Director Cai both knew that if the variety show produced by Wei Jun was a mediocre one, there would be no need for him to come to them to pay homage.

Now that Wei Jun is doing this, it is obvious that he wants to make a big move.

Given their level, they are definitely not afraid of trouble, but they still don't want to cause any bad influence.

Wei Jun gave them a reassurance: "Deputy Director Nie, Director Cai, the program "Chasing Dreams in the Entertainment Circle" actually wants to present the real entertainment industry to the audience.

For a long time, many young people have been yearning for the entertainment industry, and they yearn for the glamorous life in the entertainment industry.

However, in the movie "Dreaming of Show Business", I wanted to show more the bitterness of an ordinary person's transformation from an ordinary person to a star. The price that needs to be paid in this process makes the audience realize that behind the star's glamour is actually a bloody road.

I want the audience to know that there is no need to enter the entertainment industry, because the price behind it is something that ordinary people may not be able to afford."

Deputy Director Nie and Director Cai became interested after hearing Wei Jun's introduction.

Director Cai asked, "Director Wei, what you're doing isn't a good thing for the entire entertainment industry, is it?"

Wei Jun said seriously, "Director Cai, the entertainment industry is becoming more and more impetuous, with rising incomes and capital starting to grow wildly.

I rose to fame through this circle, and I hope the entertainment industry can become more and more formalized, rather than relying on false prosperity to attract attention.

For the long-term development of the entertainment industry, and to prevent many young people from going astray, I believe it is necessary to show everyone the cruel side of the entertainment industry."

Mr. Wei, who was confident and righteous, won the appreciation of Director Cai.

"Director Wei is a sentimental person."

Director Cai nodded.

Deputy Director Nie hurriedly followed up: "Director Cai is right, although Director Wei is young, he has a big vision.

But I understand what you're saying: showing the cruelty of the entertainment industry to the audience. What exactly does this cruelty include?"

Wei Jun spoke frankly about the selling point of "Chasing Dreams in the Entertainment Circle" without hesitation: "For example, some girls can't get roles if they don't sleep with him.

If some male stars don't sleep with women, the TV series they star in will never be bought by the film purchasing department of the satellite TV station.

The second generation of stars naturally have a much higher starting point than ordinary people, and children from powerful families can skip many processes directly.

In short, I will film many real situations in the entertainment industry and dissuade those talented people who could have shined in other industries but are only interested in the entertainment industry from pursuing a career in it.”

The last sentence made Director Cai and Deputy Director Nie think deeply.

Wei Jun is very skillful in speaking.

He knew what key points he should point out when facing such a big shot in the officialdom.

Deputy Director Nie said, "If we film it like this, the show will be very explicit."

Wei Jun nodded: "It will indeed be a big deal, but if it is not filmed like this, the audience will not realize the cruelty of the entertainment industry.

Deputy Director Nie, many people now have a wrong understanding of the entertainment industry, and many parents even actively send their children into the entertainment industry.

Although I am a member of this circle, I always believe that the entertainment industry is just a very inconspicuous circle in our country.

The entertainment industry should not occupy too much traffic and talent, nor should it obtain too high an income that makes people jealous. This is not a good thing for a country.

Things like promoting positive energy require people like Director Cai and you to take the helm.

However, it is difficult for the audience to listen if we only promote positive energy. At this time, I think it is good to show the audience some negative energy in the entertainment industry.

When they realize the cruelty of the entertainment industry and know that it is not a paradise, many people will give up the idea of ​​becoming a star and turn to become a more useful person to society."

Upon hearing this, Deputy Director Nie laughed and said, "Director Wei, you're really wasting your talent as a director. You should go to the publicity department."

Wei Jun smiled modestly.

Deputy Director Nie continued, "Director Wei, according to your ideas, what format should 'Chasing Dreams in the Entertainment Industry' be filmed in?"

“I will adopt the workplace observation reality show approach to first select two directors and then select dozens of actors.

These actors can be stars or newcomers who aspire to enter the entertainment industry.

The director and actors are then given the freedom to team up and the group actually gets to work on making a movie.

The program crew filmed the entire process, allowing viewers to experience firsthand the difficulty of becoming famous in the entertainment industry, the hardships of filming, and the realities of life in the entertainment industry."

Deputy Director Nie seemed to be thinking about it: "Please explain it in more detail."

Wei Jun hesitated for a moment, but still didn't keep the secret.

After all, "Chasing Dreams in the Entertainment Circle" is going to be broadcast. If we deceive these two big guys now, it will be difficult to end it in the future.

“For the two directors, the production team will look for a second-generation director with a good family background, and then a grassroots director from the common people.

Among dozens of actors, the program team will look for some out-of-date stars, some Korean trainees and newcomers who aspire to enter the entertainment industry.

Of course, if there are popular stars willing to join, the program team will definitely welcome them.

During the process of selecting actors for a production, some crew members would deliberately make things difficult for the actors, such as accepting red envelopes, using unspoken rules, or even asking them to sleep with them.

These people who follow the unspoken rules are pretended by the staff, but what they do is real, for example, if you don’t sleep with them, you really won’t get the role.

Of course, we won’t really sleep with them, but if an actor is really willing to do it, as long as they agree during the filming process, they will pass and move on to the next round.
