"Can we officially start recording our next program this month?"
In Hangzhou, Wang Jiangyu couldn't help but feel a little unhappy when he looked at Mo Jianwen, who was leisurely drinking tea.
Xu Ji's movie has obviously been completed for a long time, but it seems that he still hasn't had time to invite him to participate in The Masked Singer.
Some other players have a lot of free time.
And for such a popular show, how can I find time to participate?
The only exception may be Xu Ji. Xu Ji's participation in variety shows is just a hobby.
If you have time, you can participate. If you don't have time, you can only let their program team wait for each other.
If it were someone else, Wang Jiangyu would definitely not tolerate his bad habits.
But the other party is Xu Ji. It can be said that the majority of the credit for "The King of Masked Singer" to become such a hit is due to the faceless man.
"I have already sent him a message. Although he has not received a reply yet, there should be no problem in recording the next episode in November."
Unlike Wang Jiangyu, this is his first time working with Xu Ji, so he may not be used to it.
But Mo Jianwen has already adapted to it. There are many benefits to working with Xu Ji, but the only drawback is that the recording needs to be based on the other party's schedule.
The reason why previous programs like Composer ended in a stalemate was that, apart from himself, a large part of the reason was actually because Xu Ji couldn't spare the time.
"This is best."
"It's best to finalize the timeline. After all, besides Xu Ji, we also have to take care of other singers, right?"
Wang Jiangyu said.
But in fact, he knew very well that Xu Ji was the key to this show.
If the Faceless Man announces his withdrawal from the competition, then "The Masked Singer" will probably be a hit sooner or later.
"Look, isn't Xu Ji going to reply to the message now?"
Mo Jianwen picked up his phone and shook it at Wang Jiangyu, obviously not surprised that Xu Ji agreed to record it.
In fact, Mo Jianwen has already figured out the character of Xu Ji.
Although it seems that he has been refusing many variety show invitations, which seems unkind.
But if you show a lot of sincerity, the probability of success is still very high.
For a program like "The Masked Singer", Mo Jianwen actually wanted to start it for a long time, but he delayed it for a long time in order to wait for Xu Ji.
This time, in order to wait for Xu Ji, the program was suspended for more than a month.
Now that Xu Ji's movie has been filmed, he is naturally embarrassed to continue to refuse.
......
"I want to participate in the show too!"
In Rongcheng, Xu Ji's reply to Mo Jianwen just now has been seen by Sha Yetong.
Sha Yetong strongly condemned Xu Ji's behavior of going alone without taking care of himself.
"Go ahead, there are so many people who want to invite you, it shouldn't be a problem for you to choose."
Xu Ji said.
With Sha Yetong's current celebrity status, if she goes to any variety show, the program team will probably be eager for everyone to applaud and welcome her.
"Those shows are not interesting."
Sha Yetong said.
She has indeed received many invitations, but the variety nature of those programs is higher than the music nature.
Sha Yetong wants to sing, but she would feel uncomfortable doing reality shows.
Of course Xu Ji knew what Sha Yetong was thinking, but he never paid much attention to it.
At this time, I suddenly heard the other party mention this matter, and a strange idea suddenly occurred to me.
With the current size of Tongji Entertainment, all conditions are actually sufficient to make a variety show of its own.
It's just that Xu Ji actually doesn't have much interest in variety shows. If he wants to make money, it's enough to rely on film and television.
However, in order to satisfy Sha Yetong's desire to participate in a relatively pure music program, Xu Ji did have some pretty good ideas.
It just so happens that during this period, I seem to be gradually ignoring the artists signed by the company. It seems that it would be quite good to have Li Fenghua, the Screaming Band, etc., and have a variety show of Tongji Entertainment's own.
"What are you thinking about?"
Sha Yetong looked at Xu Ji in a daze and gently pinched his face.
"It's okay. If you want to participate in the show, it should be no problem. Leave it to me."
Sha Yetong didn't pay much attention to Xu Ji's words.
I thought Xu Ji was going to discuss this matter with director Mo Jianwen.
......
It didn't take Xu Ji a long time to come up with the plan for the show.
Of course, it will definitely take some time before landing.
It is unlikely that he will become a director himself, so he can only find someone from Tongji Entertainment Company.
Fortunately, the company now has a large number of people, especially the staff in various positions needed for shooting, so they can be used directly.
......
"Sister Yixin, what does Director Xu want from you?"
"Isn't it going to let you direct a new project alone?"
When Xu Yixin heard what his colleague said, he was looking forward to it, but he quickly sobered up.
"How is it possible? There are so many better and more qualified directors than me in the company, but I can't get my turn no matter what."
Most of the employees of Tongji Entertainment actually started from the bottom.
Many people were completely new to the industry or were relatively transparent before they followed me.
When we first settled down in Chengdu, many people had no money, so we had to rent together with a few people.
Just like Pang Er and Yang Anran at that time.
Although they were no longer short of money as Tongji Entertainment grew bigger and bigger, they still couldn't bear to live apart from each other.
In fact, many people have become very good friends besides being colleagues.
Xu Yixin and her roommate are both on the crew of "Parents' Love". Now that the crew has finished filming, the two of them have entered the vacation stage.
Basically, I just rest, and then wait for the next drama to start filming before joining the set.
But what Xu Yixin didn't expect was that one day, Xu Ji, the boss of the company, suddenly wanted to find her.
You must know that last time this happened, people like Pang Er, Yang Anran and others already had the opportunity to direct new dramas alone.
“You’ll know when you go there!”
"Who said it wasn't your turn, Sister Yixin? Weren't you there the last time Director Xu had a meeting to hand out the script?"
"Maybe you are the number one among them all."
......
When Xu Yixin came to Tongji Entertainment's company anxiously and met with Xu Ji, she realized that her opportunity seemed to have come.
But it didn’t come completely.
Xu Ji did not give her a script this time, but gave her a plan for a variety show.
Does this mean she should be the director of a variety show?
Xu Yixin was still a little confused when she walked out of Xu Ji's office.
The company had never filmed variety shows before, and even the company's artists were very reluctant to participate in variety shows.
Why did Xu Ji, as the boss, suddenly decide to film a variety show on a whim?
However, Xu Yixin naturally cherishes the opportunity to be able to obtain the permission to direct a variety show alone.
If you perform well, you may be able to film a drama in the future.
......
"Variety show?"
"What the hell?"
The film and television department of Station G, Chi Jiang’s office.
After hearing the assistant's words, Chi Jiang looked confused.
Chi Jiang would not be surprised if some other variety show producers came to G Station.
Although basically there is none, it is not incomprehensible.
After all, some of the self-produced variety shows here at G Station are just small shows, nothing out of the ordinary.
Variety shows are generally not broadcast on G station.
But this time it was none other than Tongji Entertainment.
If the assistant hadn't emphasized it again and again, Chi Jiang would have thought he heard it wrong.
"It was Sister Man who contacted me personally."
"I don't know the specific situation."
The assistant said.
In fact, she doesn't understand why Tongji Entertainment suddenly started filming a variety show.
It's a bit surprising.
And don’t all the artists of Tongji Entertainment refuse to participate in variety shows?
Chi Jiang thought for a while, then stood up excitedly.
"We must get the exclusive broadcast rights this time!"
"Although I don't know the specific variety show, it must be Xu Ji's idea."
"If it's Xu Ji's idea, this variety show might become popular!"
"And other programs cannot invite people from Tongji Entertainment, but if it is their own company's variety show, it shouldn't be a problem."
】
"You should contact Tongji Entertainment now. It's best to sign the contract in advance!"
"If other platforms knew about it, they would definitely take action."
"Forget it, I'd better call Xiaoman myself!"
......
Chi Jiang was so excited because he was facing Tongji Entertainment after all.
Let’s not talk about the quality of this variety show. Just being an artist who is likely to have many Tongji Entertainment, the popularity of the variety show is absolutely guaranteed.
Obviously, Tongji Entertainment took the initiative to contact them because of its cooperative relationship with G Station.
Such opportunities are not available to Penguin Video and Kiwi, so Chi Jiang naturally knows how to seize them.
......
At the same time, for some reason, Tongji Entertainment’s plan to film a variety show suddenly leaked out.
Chi Jiang originally thought that the news was deliberately released by Youman.
I want g station to compete with other platforms for copyright.
But when he contacted Youman, he was told that the news had never been released.
Because from the beginning, Xu Ji planned to broadcast the program on Station G.
And in the entire Tongji Entertainment, there are actually only a few people who know the news.
Apart from Xu Ji, You Man, and Sha Yetong, the only established variety show director is Xu Yixin.
In other words, this news was not leaked from Tongji Entertainment, it could only be the film and television department of G Station.
"Has anyone read the emails Xiaoman sent?"
Chi Jiang's face didn't look too good at this time, because he had already confirmed that there was a spy in his department.
Or to put it inappropriately, someone is reselling the internal information of G station.
The assistant was also a little nervous at this time.
He quickly explained: "Mr. Chi, it's not me."
Chi Jiang's expression remained unchanged: "I know it's not you."
"Remember first, who has touched your computer?"
"Has anyone read the email?"
Chi Jiang regretted a little. When the cameras were installed, the entire film and television department had to install them.
But later Chi Jiang felt that he didn’t want the feeling of being monitored, so he didn’t install it in his office.
At the same time, the assistant's workstation is right at the door of Chi Jiang's office, which is also a blind spot for monitoring.
The assistant has been following Chi Jiang since he entered the G station.
Therefore, Chi Jiang did not suspect that the assistant had leaked the information.
But if he doesn't find the person inside the company, he won't be able to give up.
"Mr. Chi, I don't know either."
The assistant replied quietly.
Because he has to enter Chi Jiang's office from time to time, the assistant doesn't spend much time in his position.
In addition, there are so many people in the entire film and television department now, it is really difficult to find people coming and going.
This matter is obviously more difficult than Chi Jiang thought.
After hesitating for a while, Chi Jiang still did not continue to embarrass his assistant.
"When you are not at your workstation in the future, remember to lock your computer."
"I don't want this to happen a second time."
......
"Xu Ji plans to film a variety show?"
"Where did this come from?"
After hearing such gossip, Cong Zhu subconsciously didn’t believe it.
After all, it sounds a bit strange. Tongji Entertainment has no experience in variety shows before, and even the company's artists don't like to participate in variety shows.
How could he suddenly plan to invest in a new variety show?
"I don't know."
"But it is said that the news was leaked by internal employees at G station."
"There are rumors that G Station is already discussing copyright issues with Tongji Entertainment."
Congzhu was stunned for a moment.
After thinking for a while, he gave instructions to the subordinates who had just reported to him.
"I would rather believe that something exists than something that doesn't exist."
"Go to Chengdu and do some research. If Tongji Entertainment really wants to film it, try to get the copyright."
......
In Rongcheng, Youman didn't expect that Station G would leak the news.
As a result, many companies and artists now come to inquire about this matter.
Some want to buy the copyright, and some even send people to Chengdu personally, such as Kiwi.
But more often than not, some brokerage companies want to insert their own artists into the program.
There are even some first-line artists among them.
However, Youman managed to get over everything.
The main reason is that this program obviously has no progress except for one plan.
She felt that Xu Ji suddenly did this on a whim, but in the end, it caused such a big commotion because the news spread.
The news spread so fast that the entire entertainment industry almost knew it.
But Xu Ji, who was the biggest culprit, just ignored it after the arrangements were made.
Now people have flown directly to Hangzhou to record the latest episode of "The Masked Singer". I guess they have almost forgotten about it, right?
......
In Hangzhou, as soon as the plane landed, Xu Ji sneezed three times after walking out of the airport.
"What's going on?"
"Did someone scold me?"
Xu Ji rubbed his nose and whispered to himself.
However, he didn't pay much attention to it. He put on the mask and hat, wrapped himself tightly and walked towards the exit of the airport.
