Celestial Master [entertainment circle]

At about three o'clock in the afternoon, Zhang Ziming answered a phone call, and Luo Chao said that he had arrived at the door of the hotel.

When the two went downstairs, they saw a middle-aged young man with a slim figure standing at the door of the hotel. He was a little thin, wearing an ordinary polo shirt, shorts and sandals. As soon as he saw Luo Shifang, his eyes widened. light up.

Zhang Ziming: "Excuse me, is that Mr. Luo?"

"Yes, I'm Luo Chao. Are you Mr. Luo's agent?"

At this time, Zhang Ziming has entered the state of an agent in his heyday, with a neat suit, shiny hair, and an elite demeanor. Even though his figure looks thinner than Luo Chao, it can only be honed after fighting in a large entertainment company. His vigorous and resolute aura made the latter feel uneasy, as if seeing his immediate superior, he subconsciously used honorifics.

Luo Shifang watched from the side, and thought: No wonder his manager bought a suit before the negotiation, and tidied it up in the bathroom. As expected, he was leaning on a chair, riding a horse on a saddle, and suddenly looked a lot more reliable than before. ten times.

Zhang Ziming turned his back on the customer, and took the initiative to shake his hand with the other party, with a polite but alienated tone:

"This is not a good place to talk. There is a quieter coffee shop nearby. We can go there to discuss carefully."

"well……"

Luo Chao hastily agreed, completely forgetting that all these things should be arranged by him, and he simply took the initiative.

Zhang Ziming secretly laughed: The young column leader of the city TV station is really too young.

Five minutes later, the three of them entered a nearby coffee shop and chose a secluded place to sit down. In addition, it was not the end of work and school on weekdays, so there were no other customers in the coffee shop except them.

It is a very suitable environment for discussing business cooperation matters.

Zhang Ziming ordered three cups of Americano coffee and took them out of his briefcase:

"I heard that Mr. Luo is the team leader of the "Gourmet Adventure" column of the TV station in T City. After seeing the short video, he decided to cooperate with Shifang. If you don’t mind, let me clarify my point of view first.”

Luo Chao nodded, feeling as if a knife was on his neck.

There's no way, he's the head of the column group of a city TV station, and he has never experienced the behavior of a large entertainment company agent.

Then Zhang Ziming methodically analyzed the prospect of "Gourmet Adventure".

"Gourmet Adventure" is a variety show dedicated to discovering local delicacies. The first episode was broadcast ten years ago.Compared with other food programs on satellite TV, due to its localized characteristics, it has achieved good ratings in T city, and the program has developed steadily in the following five years.

However, with the gradual popularization of digital TV, broadband TV has further satisfied the viewing needs of audiences, PCs and mobile-end major film and television platforms have competed for appearances, and the choices of local citizens have greatly increased, and TV is no longer the choice of young people. As the main form of entertainment, the ratings of "Gourmet Adventure" began to decline.

The success of this program is also "localized", and the failure is also "localized".

The dialect makes some grandpas and aunts who are not used to Mandarin feel that they have been watching this program for ten years, but this program itself has no creative breakthroughs, and the model is rigid and old. It's a variety show, and "Gourmet Adventure" is more like an advertisement in the form of a food variety show, or a boring advertisement.

Therefore, this program must be innovative, otherwise Luo Shifang's participation will not make any sense... What, is it because the attribute of "big stomach king" is valued, so as to better advertise for businesses?

Zhang Ziming said that he will definitely not let artists be reduced to "advertising machines". If there is any negative news from the participating merchants, it will become a scandal on Luo Shifang!

His words were sharp, and he released a long speech to analyze "Gourmet Adventure" all over, and then almost dismissed it as useless.

Luo Chao knew that there were many problems in "Gourmet Adventure", but these problems were pointed out in person. As the column leader, he felt ashamed from the bottom of his heart.

At the same time, I couldn't help but want to prove myself.

"Wait, Mr. Zhang, I have a plan here. Although I made it temporarily in the car just now, this is my idea. I can perfect it within 24 hours. You can take a look."

The business plan is currently only one short page, less than a thousand words, but after Zhang Ziming received it, he scanned it carefully with the eyes of a professional broker.

Then, the frown slightly relaxed.

First of all, the name of the column "Gourmet Adventure" was changed to "Gourmet Hunter".

The newly revised program has greatly weakened the advertising component. Although food variety shows have their own advertising appeal, "Gourmet Hunter" advocates that Luo Shifang, the guest, should be the absolute protagonist. To show the charm of the guests themselves, as for the attractiveness of the food itself, there is no need to use exaggerated zoom-in long shots to show it.

In other words, Luo Chao transformed "Gourmet Adventure", turning it from a long advertisement for marketing food into a complete meal variety show.

Combining a handsome guy who has a good-looking appearance and can resonate with people's appetite, with the hot element of food... Humans are such carnivorous animals.

Zhang Ziming thought that the casual photos of Luo Shifang at the Xiyangyang Breakfast Shop could be so photogenic, so under the filter of the camera and post-editing, the charm of Luo Shifang's eating pictures should be displayed more perfectly.

There is almost no script for this variety show, just let Luo Shifang briefly introduce the food and feelings. For more than half of the time, he only needs to eat, and there will be a camera to collect his eating pictures.

Not having a script means that the degree of topicality will inevitably decrease, but it also means that there will be no black spots for Luo Shifang.

Zhang Ziming nodded. This column is cute and simple, but it is quite touching.

However, he didn't agree immediately, but turned his head and asked in a discussing tone: "Shifang, what do you think?"

In his opinion, Luo Shifang is still a master, and his ability is not directly proportional to his age. His professional ability may be sufficient, but once encountering mysterious things, no matter how strong his professional ability is, it will be difficult to use.

"It's very good. The show is broadcast from 06:30 p.m. to [-]:[-] p.m. There is no controversy in itself. If my eating scenes can make more people have an appetite, that's good."

Luo Shifang raised the corners of his mouth. He knew that he liked eating. In the past, if any child in Xianyun Village was picky eater, he would let the child eat with him, and then the child would no longer be picky eater.

The elders in the village also commented that there is nothing else in Xianyun Village, but Luo Shifang's food is the biggest specialty. It looks like it can make people eat three more bowls of rice, and the problems of indigestion have been improved.

"However, I have a big appetite. You clearly stated that you contracted my food expenses during the recording of the program. Is it true?"

Luo Chao: "That's for sure! In fact, people can get the promotion opportunity on TV by having a meal. The merchants are willing to pay for it out of their own pockets. Since the program started, we have not been asked for food expenses by the merchants."

Zhang Ziming showed a satisfied smile: "There is no problem with the format of the program, but there are still some details that need to be improved, such as our Shifang's styling design, etc... At present, we don't have a styling team, so the best costumes are provided by you. No I need some big-name brands, but I want the clothes to be affordable and fashionable, and at the same time conform to the aesthetics of young people and the previous generation, so I, as an agent, will personally ask about it later, is that okay?"

"No problem, no problem."

This is just a small request, and it is included in the existing budget of the program group, so Luo Chao will naturally not mind.

Next, on the issue of remuneration, the two exchanged and discussed in detail orally.

In the end, Zhang Ziming won the job with a one-time appearance fee of [-]. You must know that the salary of a local TV host is only [-] to [-] a month. Luo Shifang is a guest rather than a host. As an amateur at the same time, the appearance fee for a single episode of "Gourmet Hunter" is [-], which is already very high.

As for the reason why Luo Chao can offer such a high appearance fee, it is because he himself is very optimistic about Luo Shifang's ability, and he has an extra budget of [-] yuan on hand. satisfied conditions.

Currently they plan to temporarily sign a one-month contract to see the performance of the program, that is, four episodes of the program.

After these four episodes are over, Luo Shi can easily get [-]. As for the future cooperation, it depends on the wishes of both parties.

For Zhang Ziming, the negotiation was relatively easy, and the result satisfied both parties.

After Luo Chao drank the coffee and paid the bill, he went home to perfect the plan and order the contract. Before the next meeting, he and Zhang Ziming would confirm the changes to the contract through the Internet.

And Zhang Ziming looked at his watch and said:

"Shifang, it's four o'clock in the afternoon. Before the communication company is off work, we will open two phone numbers in the past. Then we will go to the bank to open an account for you and get a new card. In addition, your business is also very important. It needs to be replaced."

Zhang Ziming didn't get into the mood before, and Luo Shifang stayed in T City, an unfamiliar place without a job, and the two of them were so shy that they didn't dare to spend more money except for food, so most of them He spends all his time in the hotel cramming up on knowledge about the entertainment industry.

Now that the job has been confirmed, and they will have a good income in the future, they naturally need to make some preparations for the future.

……

On the outskirts of T City, dust and haze billowed on the roads under construction on both sides, and a black Maserati drove past quickly.

In the front seat of the car is the driver of a middle-aged uncle and an elite-looking assistant. In the back seat, a young man about 25 years old is paddling an ultra-thin handheld computer. On the computer, there are architectural drawings drawn. Injected some metaphysical formations.

The young man's appearance is excellent, he is a handsome man who can't fault the slightest no matter his appearance or bone appearance, his facial features are deep, and under his straight eyebrows are a pair of peach blossom eyes, but his classical temperament and stern aura make his eyes look like Wang Hanquan It is as cold and cold, giving people a strong sense of alienation, like a high ancient king.

The assistant seemed to be used to the unexpected attitude of the other party, and said naturally: "Mr. Yan, we managed to win this land in T City this time, but the construction team reported some supernatural events to us every time. The blueprint in your hand , our team hired a master to draw it, what do you think?"

Yan Yuan said lightly: "You can figure it out, I don't have much research on this aspect. You also know my personality, I am the least good at dealing with these gods and ghosts."

"Mr. Yan, do you still mind the thing that the master said a few days ago that your seal is black and you will have bad luck?" The assistant said with a smile, "You should wear the talisman paper that the master gave you. As the saying goes, I would rather believe it." Believe it or not, don’t be afraid of [-], just in case.”

"It's broken, I don't believe this, but I already respect this profession." Yan Yuan closed his eyes and said, "Go to the bank. Regarding financial issues, I need to communicate with the manager in person."

"I just called and the manager said he's visiting the branch right now..."

Yan Yuan: "Then go to the branch."

"Yes."

……

Outside the township branch, as soon as Luo Shifang stepped into the bank's threshold, he felt a chill rushing in from Tianling Gai.

"The air conditioner in this bank is a bit cold."

Zhang Ziming shivered suddenly, and glanced in Luo Shifang's direction from the corner of his eye, and saw the cold light in the latter's eyes.

——There is a situation!

"Master, what, what's the matter?" When he was nervous, he unknowingly changed back to "Master" for Luo Shifang.

"The yin and qi are tight, and all directions are dead. A disaster is about to happen here. If there is no accident, it will be within two days at the latest. However, you can see magpies singing outside the window. I think there will be happy events amidst the disaster."

Zhang Ziming was stunned when he heard it, and then he thought about it carefully, his expression gradually became weird: co-authoring, someone is unlucky, but you are having a happy event?

True loss!
