Rebirth of Chinese Entertainment, the Diary of a 95 Flower

As Wang Han spoke, he walked toward the control room.

They said they were going to pick up equipment.

Actually, it was about discussing the subsequent process with the chief director.

These conversations were not in the script.

These weren't part of yesterday's rehearsal.

Because scripts and rehearsals are just going through the motions, the truly exciting part of this talk show is the conversations between the guests.

How to make chatting interesting and engaging for viewers without being too explicit?

Wang Han glanced at the main console set up directly in front of the stage.

Ensure that the entire process can be filmed with the guests seated around the table.

Record Xue Zhiqian and Qian Feng's actions towards Jiang Yang, as well as the lively atmosphere of the crowd cheering.

The integrity of the scene must be ensured.

Director Li Wei, sitting at the control panel and watching the scene, saw Wang Han come over and say to him, "Director, should we continue with the scene where Chao Yue calls Jiang Yang's assistant?"

"Go on, it's fine. What kind of explosive news can an assistant come up with?"

The director instructed staff to bring out the prepared mobile phone audio adapters and connect them to the studio's audio system.

He handed Yang Chaoyue a small wireless microphone.

Yang Chaoyue was instructed to place his hand next to the phone's earpiece to ensure that Bai Lu's voice could be clearly recorded after the call connected, avoiding any noise or interruptions.

Li Wei suggested, "Brother Han, you should talk to Chaoyue more. She's a very down-to-earth girl."

So far, the part I'm most satisfied with during filming is the chat segment that started with Yang Chaoyue.

Among the female guests on the show, Guo Xuefu was too shy. She could take a joke and wouldn't get angry, but she couldn't keep up with the jokes.

Ning Jing lacks variety show skills, is too reserved, and her conversations are overly serious.

On the contrary, Yang Chaoyue, who is a junior agent, is quite interesting.

This impromptu interaction went outside the rehearsal process, so there was no trace of a rigid script.

If it were any other celebrity, and they were asked the same question, they might say that they became an actor to pursue their dreams.

Over the years, audiences have heard this stereotypical rhetoric countless times.

Yang Chaoyue frankly admitted that he signed the contract for 5,000 yuan including food and accommodation. While this would create a good show, his honesty about coming from a humble background would definitely resonate with the audience.

He also complained that Jiang Yang's boss was stingy.

The reversal of demanding 1 billion to redeem oneself.

It's both down-to-earth and full of laughs.

That's how variety shows work; as long as you're interesting, even if you're not a celebrity guest, you'll get more screen time.

"Director, shall we proceed with the leap proposal now?" Wang Han's voice came through the earpiece.

"No rush, let's talk to Chaoyue more first."

"So, should we deliberately reject Chaoyue's proposal later and let him come up with one on the spot?" Wang Han asked.

To put it bluntly, it's about trading traffic for Chaoyue's dignity.

"Of course!"

Hearing Wang Han bring up this topic again, Li Wei became a little impatient: "Brother Han, you're an expert too. Be ruthless. Besides, there's no going back. Chao Yue will definitely have to make a proposal. Her three proposals were never going to pass anyway. Now that Chao Yue is very effective, we can edit it out and let the audience get used to Chao Yue first, and then film her embarrassing moments. Wouldn't the audience get emotionally charged?"

"I won't say more, Brother Han, you just focus on hosting."

Li Wei stopped talking to Wang Han.

The monitor displayed a grid of images.

He arranged and scheduled the close-up camera positions.

One camera was aimed at Yang Chaoyue, capturing his animated expression as he complained about his boss.

A gaze was fixed on Jiang Yang as he focused on the changes in his expression, from feigning seriousness and threatening Yang Chaoyue to deduct money, to being pinned to the sofa and issuing a panicked warning.

The other two were directed at Xue Zhiqian, while Liu Wei and other guests egged them on.

Capture their mischievous smiles, exaggerated expressions when catching jokes, and their body language when pressing Jiang Yang to enhance the variety show feel.

There is also a backup close-up camera position.

Switch to other agents at any time to film their micro-expressions, such as raising their eyebrows or suppressing laughter, as they watch the excitement.

The call to Bailu was answered quickly.

A ringtone suddenly burst out from the studio speakers.

It's a line spoken by Guan Gu, played by Wang Chuanjun in "iPartment": "Hello, I'm Guan Gu. I'm selling scalped tickets now. Want some? They're very cheap!" As soon as Guan Gu's accent came out, youth ran back to the evenings after school when we were watching TV shows, following the sound of the bell.

The ringtone kept repeating.

They jumped and danced along with the tune.

There were also a few deliberately silly dog ​​barks mixed in.

A burst of laughter erupted from the room. Xue Zhiqian patted the sofa, pointed at Jiang Yang, and whispered, "Jiang Yang! Your assistant's ringtone is so catchy. After listening to it for a while, it's really hard to shake off Wang Chuanjun's 'Guan Gu Shenqi' label."

Just finished.

Wang Han immediately made a shushing gesture.

Xue Zhiqian quickly shut up.

The ringtone continued to play persistently, but Yang Chaoyue grew increasingly panicked. He quietly withdrew his hand, and even the smile on his lips became forced.

She got carried away during the conversation and impulsively suggested making a phone call.

To everyone's surprise, the production team acted swiftly and decisively, accepting the audio recording.

Who knows what Bai Lu will say next? Her words are incredibly outrageous, and she might just blurt out something that will leave people speechless.

Not only will she be embarrassed, but Yang Ge will also be implicated.

The ringing stopped.

A click sounded on the other end of the line, and the call was connected.

Yang Chaoyue immediately switched to a docile tone, holding the microphone and softly calling out, "Hello, Bailu."

"Chaoyue, what's wrong?"

"Nothing's wrong."

"Why are you suddenly calling my name out of the blue? Are you out of your mind?"

Bai Lu's tone was tinged with doubt, yet also carried a hint of casual banter between acquaintances.

"Isn't that what I usually call you?" Yang Chaoyue retorted, forcing a smile.

"Bullshit, only Jiang Yang sometimes calls me that!" Bai Lu snorted without any politeness, raising her voice: "You guys, who doesn't usually call me Bai Gouzai? What are you pretending for?"

The moment the words "white paparazzi" were uttered, the atmosphere in the studio immediately became lively.

Many people were trying not to laugh.

Liu Wei covered her mouth.

Even Ning Jing, who had been maintaining a composed demeanor, couldn't help but smile.

Yang Chaoyue's face turned red.

Xue Zhiqian couldn't hold back any longer, and a laugh escaped through his teeth: "Hahaha..."

Bai Lu didn't notice the commotion over there, only finding the background noise unbearable: "Chao Yue, why is it so noisy over there? There's some lunatic yelling the whole time, it's so loud!"

Hear the words.

Xue Zhiqian's laughter stopped abruptly.

The smile on her face froze, and she looked at Yang Chaoyue's phone with a sullen expression.

"Ah, it's quiet now." Bai Lu said to herself without waiting for a response, her tone carrying a hint of satisfaction.

Xue Zhiqian mouthed silently into Yang Chaoyue's phone, "What the hell? You're the one who's crazy!"

Wang Han made a shushing gesture, his eyes filled with surprise.

The program's effect was even better than the script!

He didn't rush to interrupt or remind Yang Chaoyue to ask Bai Lu what kind of person Jiang Yang was, but let Yang Chaoyue and Bai Lu continue their conversation.

Just then, a clear beep came from the other end of the phone.

That's the sound of a room card being swiped to open the door.

Yang Chaoyue quickly seized the opportunity to change the subject, his tone becoming lighter: "Bai Lu, you just got back from the film set? You finished work so early today?"

"Finishing work early my ass!" Bai Lu's voice was full of complaints, a sudden outburst: "Zhong Shujia is so slow at filming, always dawdling."

The moment the name Zhong Shujia was uttered, the studio fell silent for a second.

There were celebrities from Taiwan present, mostly from the mainland entertainment industry. Yang Chaoyue's assistant, nicknamed "White Paparazzi," was a big director in Hong Kong.

The topics covered were extensive across Mainland China, Taiwan, and Hong Kong.

It was very entertaining.

The director's complaints about the production team were just like my own complaints when I was slacking off with my colleagues... The eyes of all the special agent guests lit up. (End of Chapter)
