Chapter 259

~7 min read 1,203 words

"So many people came?"

"Isn't it all because of you?"

Although Yao PD said so, he didn't complain at all, always smiling and looking refreshed.

Immediately after,

Yao PD also explained the situation on the scene to Lin Yu.

The main reason is that the popularity and influence of this episode of Running Man are simply too great.

This also led to the intervention of capital from all sides after Cheng Xiao temporarily left the show.

Even the leaders of Blue TV and the sponsors came to discuss the candidates for the next episode.

"Right! Lin Yu, be careful when you go into the room in a moment, you know~"

After hearing Yao PD's words, Lin Yu nodded.

Of course, he understands this kind of social etiquette; these leaders are in high positions and are not like those people in the Running Man group; they can't take jokes, and they can't afford to be joked with.

"Right! Are there no first-tier stars this time?"

Lin Yu's social circle is not wide, and the stars he has come into contact with are relatively limited; for now, he still has to rely on variety shows to get to know them one by one.

His connections are actually relatively closed off!

This is not because Lin Yu wants to curry favor with these big shots, but because getting to know these first-tier stars gives him the opportunity to meet more directors and investors, and to get access to better script resources; this is the most critical part of mixing in the entertainment industry.

Just like Director Ning Hao, if it weren't for a blind cat bumping into a dead mouse and seeing him on a variety show, he probably wouldn't have had any intersection in this life, nor would he have caught up with the script for "No More Bets."

The entertainment industry never lacks hardworking and excellent people, but not every piece of gold can be discovered and shine as it should.

"It's good enough to have these second and third-tier stars."

"These first-tier stars are still waiting and watching! Mainly because our live broadcast format is still in the experimental stage, and it's hard to grasp the scale."

Yao PD looks refined, but he actually understands everything; not saying it doesn't mean he doesn't know.

Pretending to be a bit dull and low-key is also the principle of life and work that Yao PD adheres to.

Being able to thrive on Blue TV for eleven seasons, how could he be an ordinary person!

Variety shows are secondary; making leaders feel secure and at ease in life and work is the priority!

"Damn! These first-tier star artists are so protective of their feathers!?"

Lin Yu also curled his lips, but thinking about it, it's understandable.

After all, they have been in the entertainment industry for ten or twenty years, or even a lifetime; they must have many concerns, and it makes sense to wait and see more.

And even if these people came, they would probably be timid and afraid of damaging the persona they have built up over the years; it would be better if they didn't come.

"Creak."

The door of the meeting room was pushed open again, and the eyes of dozens of people in the room were focused on Yao PD and Lin Yu.

"Come, let me introduce everyone."

Yao PD didn't know what he was thinking; after saying this, everyone present laughed.

"Hahahaha! Yao PD, you'd better introduce yourself; with Lin Yu's current popularity, there's no need for you to introduce him specially."

"Pfft! As expected of a variety show director, you're so lively!"

"Alright, it's late, let's keep it short."

After listening to everyone's words, Lin Yu also reacted; these forces have only one goal.

That is to go through the back door!

"This is our Blue TV leader, this is our gold sponsor."

Yao PD also followed Lin Yu, introducing and greeting them one by one.

The Blue TV leader and the sponsor just smiled and nodded, exchanged a few pleasantries, and said no more.

Sure enough!

Lin Yu saw this scene and smiled knowingly.

This is the contempt chain of the current entertainment industry!

The bottom layer is variety show comedy stars and singing/dancing idols!

One layer higher are actors,

But actors are also divided into web drama actors, TV drama actors, and movie actors.

There is a difference between having won domestic and international awards or not!

One level higher are stage play artists who can hold their own!

This can be considered the pyramid of actors, the highest and most advanced level.

Whether it's variety shows, web dramas, TV dramas, or movies, there can be NGs and opportunities to redo, but stage plays have no such thing as NGs; good is good, bad is bad, and every performance is a live broadcast with no turning back, giving it your all.

Lin Yu thought about it; in fact, if he takes the path of "acting well and then singing," if he can participate in stage plays, it would actually be more in line with the god-level acting and voice mimicry given by the system.

However, this path is heading towards the direction of not seeking fame or fortune, but lifelong achievement!

For the current task, let's just get the work done steadily first!

"Several candidates have been counted here, Teacher Lin Yu, do you think they are suitable?"

"Alright! Thanks for your hard work."

Lin Yu hurriedly took the document handed over by the staff with both hands; no one owes anyone anything late at night, and coming here is to get this done well, so there's no need to put on airs.

The Running Man production team is also very witty; Lin Yu is currently the guarantee of ratings and traffic.

If an artist is dropped in rashly and doesn't catch Lin Yu's eye, and there's no interaction, then the significance of coming is not great.

Just like Yang Yang and Wang Churan during the warm-up phase; they became popular, but it was "black popularity"!

The two of them have been scolded so much recently that they don't dare to show their faces.

"Wang Shanshan! Zhao Yan! Zhang Zilong!"

"......"

"They're all fine! These handsome guys and beautiful girls are all good, they look like they have a sense of variety."

"You guys decide."

"I know what to do when the time comes."

Isn't it just throwing out a few bad jokes!

Lin Yu naturally won't offend the sponsors and the leaders of the station because of a few shots and a little exposure.

"Holy crap! Something happened."

"Everyone, look."

Just after Lin Yu finished speaking.

TikTok also released a video of a drunk person beating a disabled elderly person at a stall; it can clearly be seen that this is still near the airport.

"This is? Zhang Zilong!"

Yao PD rubbed his eyes and compared it with the photo in the information document in his hand.

"This person won't do; he's about to become a disgraced artist, how can he be on the show?"

Yao PD frowned and made a decisive decision.

Even Chicken Brother couldn't suppress this, let alone this unknown Zhang Zilong!
