Chapter 484: Director Show

The variety show "Director Show" is an S-class variety show produced by Ning Dan in collaboration with Penguin.

In fact, from Luo Mo's perspective, this variety show is not much different from "Creating Idols" that he participated in.

It is always the production team contacting major companies first, and then the companies stuffing contestants into the program.

It is nothing more than changing from trainees to stars.

And the star mentors in "Creating Idols" have been replaced by four film directors.

The stars who come to participate in the show can generally be divided into a few categories.

One type is the 【Stir-fried Leftovers Type】.

This type of person has basically been in the industry for many years; they might have been popular for a while in the past, but now they have no heat and no commercial value.

These stars will be regarded as seed contestants.

There is no helping it; in fact, looking at the major variety shows on Earth, have you noticed that there are more and more "Stir-fried Leftovers" type variety shows?

This is actually related to the current state of the entertainment industry.

The newcomers... are really too weak!

Everyone wants to dig for fresh blood, but the problem is that the newcomers are no match for this group of has-been veterans.

Many stars may be forty or fifty years old, but in terms of singing, dancing, and acting on stage, they can leave the young people in the dust.

In this way, the quality of the stage can be guaranteed.

At the same time, because this group of people has been in the industry for many years, there may be many grudges between them, and some may even have emotional entanglements.

Wow, the topic-generating potential is simply off the charts!

Of course, there are definitely some among them who have debuted for many years but whose professional skills are still very poor.

These slacker contestants are also very interesting to watch, aren't they?

And the second type is the 【Traffic Type】, those who currently have high popularity.

The number of such contestants will certainly not be large, because this group of people... is very expensive!

They come to the show purely to drive traffic. Some might even record for one or two episodes and then find excuses to stop, such as health reasons or scheduling conflicts; in fact, they likely only signed a contract for one or two episodes with the production team.

Then there is the 【Who Is This Type】.

Completely new faces that the audience is unfamiliar with; it's a mixed bag, with some potentially becoming an overnight sensation, while others are just there to be funny.

After Luo Mo looked at the list in Director Tian Ou's camp, the reason he agreed to Ning Dan's request was partly because Run Jie is so charming that it makes one unable to refuse.

The other reason was that there were several people on the list he was interested in.

The first to catch his eye was...

—Song Ge.

Little Song, who is participating in "Director Show," does not know what will happen next.

His mood has been great lately; the bad mood from "Across the Future" being rubbed into the ground by "Monkey King: Hero is Back" has been completely swept away.

The first and second episodes of "Director Show" were recorded before the New Year, and the first episode was updated last weekend.

And Song Ge's performance happened to be edited into the first episode.

Originally, it stands to reason that he would not have been able to participate in this variety show.

Because part of his contract is signed with Pineapple Entertainment, and part of his work is decided by Wang Shisong.

For example, regarding web dramas.

However, strictly speaking, he cannot be considered entirely a person of Pineapple.

Ning Dan and Wang Shisong had already fallen out during the "Creating Idols" period.

Although in the entertainment industry, things like fighting to the death and then smiling and hugging each other always happen.

But Run Jie and Wang Shisong are clearly not that type.

The grudge between Luo Mo and Pineapple has always existed, so she naturally stands firmly on Luo Mo's side.

Song Ge coming to participate in the show is purely giving face to another company.

It is purely an act of Ning Dan returning a favor.

From the nature of the "Director Show" program, it is a show for directors to demonstrate their directing ability and for stars to demonstrate their acting skills.

Song Ge is a Water Emperor, that is true, but he does have acting skills.

He doesn't deserve the title of Best Actor, but he can pass the passing grade.

The performance he broadcast in the first episode is actually very clever.

He played a so-called outburst scene.

His entire emotional outburst, with veins popping on his forehead; many viewers shouted after watching: "I was scared by Song Ge."

In fact, this type of scene is often praised by audiences, saying things like his acting is explosive.

But if it is just pure shouting, pure raging, and performing a kind of pure evil, the difficulty coefficient is not very high.

Many truly great actors can reveal many details.

But the audience still buys into this, and on the internet, one can often see some actors' teams marketing this type of performance, buying various Hot Searches, and praising their acting.

But in the end, you will find that many directors still ignore these actors praised by netizens, and their subsequent development still has no breakthroughs.

Song Ge tasted a bit of sweetness, and his team is also desperately marketing, as if they could remove his title of Water Emperor.

Of course, being able to join Director Tian Ou's camp in the end, Song Ge is also ecstatic inside.

Although many older generation directors are famous now, their new works are often not liked by the market, and the box office is generally low.

They are indeed very good at coaching actors, and working with them for a period of time can indeed lead to improvements in many areas.

However, in Song Ge's view, what is the point if it doesn't sell?

He still wanted to join the 【Two Billion Box Office Club】, or even the 【Three Billion Box Office Club】!

Although Tian Ou had great controversy online regarding both of his films and was always labeled with 【Fusion Plot】, the films he directed simply made money!

Therefore, after Tian Ou was willing to accept him, he immediately scurried over to join him.

After the recording ended, he immediately asked his assistant for his phone, went over with a beaming smile to offer a few compliments, and then requested to add him on WeChat.

After becoming friends, he certainly didn't forget to send a few New Year's greetings during the holiday, liked and commented on everything in his Moments, and chatted a few sentences whenever he caught an opportunity.

It was just like chasing a girl.

Little Tian Tian, truly sweet.

But after the Lantern Festival, Song Ge suddenly discovered that the Director Tian Ou he had been thinking about... had lost contact.

He immediately furrowed his brows and pondered for a moment, wondering if he had offended the director somewhere, causing him to not even bother acknowledging him.

It wasn't until he later learned that other contestants in the same camp on the show also couldn't contact Song Ge that he finally set his mind at ease.

"Normal, the New Year is over, Director Tian is probably busy," Song Ge thought to himself.

"Anyway, I'll be able to see him when the third episode starts recording."

In the new year, Song Ge could be described as full of fighting spirit.

He firmly believed that he would definitely be able to walk on the right path this year.

Three days passed in a flash.

During these three days, Luo Mo had been busy with the post-production editing of "Reset".

In fact, he had been doing much of the post-production work simultaneously during the filming process, so the efficiency was very high.

"It probably won't take long before it's all finished and sent for review," Luo Mo thought to himself.

The review standards for web dramas were relatively low; as long as it wasn't too outrageous, passing the review was quite easy.

In fact, the 【Mist Theater】 on Earth had also taken advantage of this at the beginning.

A certain massive hit had filmed many parts very obscurely, deceiving the reviewers.

By the time they realized it, the review 【Requirement】 for the subsequent 【Mist Theater】 dramas had all been raised.

The 【Review Department】 on Blue Star was actually still relatively lenient.

Therefore, Luo Mo could save himself quite a bit of trouble.

By the afternoon, after he and Xu Chujing shared a 【Kiss Goodbye】, he got into the nanny van and headed to the recording site in Hangzhou.

"It's been a while since I've seen Run Jie," Luo Mo thought in his heart.

Although their homes in Xicheng were actually just upstairs and downstairs from each other, which was quite convenient.

And for the other three directors on "Director Show" and all the stars participating in the program, everyone received a shocking piece of news today.

This news was notified to everyone by the production team this morning.

"Director Tian Ou is actually going to be absent from the recording for a period of time due to personal reasons?"

"And then, a new director will temporarily fill in for a while?"

"Who could it be!?"

(PS: First update, it's the end of the month, and double monthly tickets have started, asking for monthly tickets!)
