"No more drinking today, no more drinking, please help me give advice and find out what's going on!"
Friends booed one after another, patted Wang Baoqiang's shoulders, hugged his neck and shook him, chatting and laughing. They were really happy for Wang Baoqiang!
Every time Zhang Guoli casts a film or TV series, he has a habit of casting a wide net and pulling out a large net of fish. Then he picks the best-looking ones and throws the others back slightly smaller, so that most of the fish are quite fishy. I feel sorry, only because I am not good-looking, but the next time I cast the net, I will still flock to it, hoping to get the favor of the fisherman.
"But why do I think there is something fishy in this? At the press conference at that time, "Chinese Singer-Songwriter" and "Let's Time Travel" were released at the same time. The singer-songwriter invited Yang An as a music consultant. Why didn't Time Travel say that Yang An was invited? install?"
Wang Baoqiang has been in dire straits this year. His life has been miserable. His manager and wife betrayed him and took away almost all his property. His company was on the verge of bankruptcy and his career suffered a huge blow. He fell from the peak of his life to the bottom of the valley.
Wang Baoqiang became excited and nodded repeatedly while holding up the phone: "Yes, yes, I have time! Okay, thank you, no, no, no, I don't have an agent anymore. How can I dare to find an agent now? You can tell me a place, I I’ll go for the interview tomorrow.”
"Zhang Guoli...teacher?"
"It's better than before, okay, let me ask you first, I have a variety show in August, are you free to participate? It's the one called "Let's Time Travel"!"
Another person said: "Yes, I think so too. The leader in variety shows in China is Yang An. If you look at his shows, they don't involve history at all. They are all modern. Leslie Cheung has made many costume films. Yeah, I don’t think he can necessarily capture the audience’s taste!”
Wang Baoqiang was also smiling. After a minute, his phone rang again. Zhang Guoli sent him an address. He carefully saved the number and read the text message several times before finally bursting into laughter.
Everyone took out their mobile phones and searched, and then called people in the circle to inquire. After all, they felt that this matter was a bit unreliable and not as reliable as imagined.
Not long after he came in, a text message came. Wang Baoqiang took it out. A little strange, he raised his head and asked, "Teacher Zhang Guoli?"
"Okay, Brother Baoqiang, you've become prosperous! It's time to come, it's time to come. You must drink well today and celebrate!"
The two people across from each other were suppressing laughter. Due to the regulations of the program team, they could not reveal any information to the artists. They could only rely on the artists to think and deal with it.
"Haha~~ Zhang Guoli invited you to join his crew? That's awesome, Brother Baoqiang!"
Such an honest kid!
On August 21, Wang Baoqiang received two people at his door, claiming to be the VJ team following the filming of "Let's Time Travel". He had a vague feeling that the filming of the show had already started!
Friends also felt that something was wrong. They looked at Wang Baoqiang's expression that turned into a very cautious one and said cautiously: "Is it okay?"
Wang Baoqiang told the content of the phone call that he attached great importance to caution and did not want to mess up the invitation because of his own reasons.
After hanging up the phone, Wang Baoqiang was stunned for a few seconds and kept answering the phone without saying a word. He was so stunned.
VJ was dumbfounded, what kind of game was this
A buddy analyzed: "Zhang Guoli is a good director and has done well in TV series, but he has never filmed a variety show. Can he do it? If An Yang invites you, you can agree immediately without even thinking about it."
This is the advantage of being backed by a large real estate company. If you let people from other TV stations do this, the most you can do is rent a certain theme park at the Hengdian Film and Television Base, and you have to make a reservation six months in advance. If you can't finish filming within the stipulated time, Then I'm dumbfounded. Just say good things to the next crew. Not only do you have to pay someone to compensate them, but you still owe them a favor.
Wang Baoqiang was stunned by the comments. He asked stupidly: "If there is no Yang An, will this show become Yang An's competitor? Will I become cannon fodder?"
In this way, Wang Baoqiang was pulled into the chariot and waited in ignorance for two months. During these two months, he accepted a small supporting role in a TV series. During this period, he kept paying attention to the official news of "Let's Time Travel". He didn't know what he should prepare, and Zhang Guoli didn't tell him how to play the game. He was almost frustrated.
Wang Baoqiang looked at the text message carefully again, stood up, walked around, holding the phone in his hand, the screen went dark and brightened, and he kept mumbling silently.
Suddenly, Wang Baoqiang stopped, strode up to VJ, stretched out his hand: "Take out your ID cards and work passes! Hurry up! How do I know if this is a scam text message?"
"Is it Wang Baoqiang?"
The moment before he signed, Wang Baoqiang couldn't help himself and asked: "Director Zhang, I would like to ask if Yang An is a guest?"
"Yes, who are you?"
"Don't think I am stupid, I am really stupid! I have suffered so many losses, so I will learn to be smart, right? In the mobile fraud text message, a fake base station was used to intercept the phone number, and the text message was sent to me pretending to be Teacher Zhang Guoli, He tricked me into depositing money into it again. Humph, do you think I can’t see through this scam? Take it out! If you don’t take it out, I’ll call the police!”
The preparatory team has four members. Zhang Guoli serves as the team leader. One is his wife Deng Jie, and the other two are agents who have worked with him for many years. According to the personality requirements given by Yang An, more than 40 qualified celebrities were listed. , call each other one by one to confirm the schedule, and also find out whether the artist is really determined to participate in the variety show - once you get on the show, you will basically not be allowed to get off the train midway. Once the person is changed, it means that the running-in period is unlimited. It was stretched, far out of reach, and the show was basically ruined.
"I'm Zhang Guoli. It's so noisy over there. Can you find a quiet place to talk?"
"Is it really Director Zhang Guoli?"
This kind of thing would have to be done to a more ruthless person, who would go to the edge of the earth to find out these bitches, but he couldn't bear to go to that step. He also wanted to get together and break up, so that outsiders could see what happened. I feel so distressed and yet so angry that I won't fight, and I'm a complete doormat.
Zhang Guoli focused on attacking several big fish he was optimistic about, and Wang Baoqiang was one of them. In early June, the crew of "Let's Time Travel" was established. Not long after Oriental Rising Company cut the ribbon, Wang Baoqiang received a call from Zhang Guoli.
That night, Wang Baoqiang was accompanied by several friends for dinner. He drank a little less. The friends were chatting about the football game and laughing. When they got excited, they slapped the table, fought over wine, and shouted cheers. He also loved sports. Talking about these things can distract him. Now that he has gotten over the shadow of divorce and returned to the life of a bachelor, he feels pretty good, but he is a bit lonely when he is bored, especially since he has no acting or commercial activities now. At that time, I was so empty that I almost went crazy.
In June and July, some celebrities were invited by Zhang Guoli one after another. At the same time, at the Xingguo Film and Television Base near Junshan in the outer suburbs of Zhongjing, more than 30 large mechanical engineering vehicles were rushing to work every day, and a construction team of 200 people A complex of buildings is being built day and night. Several experts in architecture and history hired by Oriental Rising Film and Television Entertainment Company come to visit from time to time. They have to give guidance on various architectural shapes and even decorations, and strive to restore them as much as possible. Ancient appearance.
He himself is too honest. All his income over the years has been given to his wife. He doesn't even know which bank he has opened an account in. After the divorce, he became a pauper and relied on the help of his friends to survive.
Wang Baoqiang was dumbfounded, shook his head to make sure he heard correctly, and quickly waved his hands to signal his friends around him to shut up and be quiet.
The filming VJ chuckled: "Wang Baoqiang, don't be nervous. We are just filming behind-the-scenes. You can be casual and show your true self as much as possible. When it is officially broadcast, 99% of the content we filmed will be edited out. it does not matter."
He scratched his messy hair, bent over, and said with some fear: "Hello, brothers, this is my first time participating in an outdoor reality show. If you have any requests, feel free to ask me. Don't be polite, just treat me like a robot, whatever. Give me the order, point me east and I will never go west, let me go to heaven and I will never go down to earth."
VJ still didn't speak. Wang Baoqiang thought for a long time: "Transfer deposit to the time travel account? There is no limit on the amount? But brother, what should I do if I have no money?"
"But I suspect that Yang An has intervened in both shows. If this show also has Yang An and Baoqiang, you will really get on the bus. Seats on this kind of express train are quite rare and very rare. It is worth sacrificing everything to catch it. "
Everyone looked at each other and didn't dare to answer. None of them were Yang An. Who knew the answer to this question
The phone rang, it was an unfamiliar number from Zhongjing.
The surrounding environment was a bit noisy, so Wang Baoqiang didn't think much about it. After the call was connected, he called out and took a sip of his beer.
The camera lights were already on. Wang Baoqiang felt a sudden rush in his heart and became nervous again. He read the text message: "I am Zhang Guoli, the chief director of "Let's Time Travel". After receiving the text message, please go to the following time travel account according to your personal wishes. Transfer deposit, the amount is whatever you want. What do you mean?"
Zhang Guoli was originally very tired of this question, oh, if Yang An is here, you are willing to come, but if Yang An is not here, you don’t want to sign, right
Wang Baoqiang was wearing a T-shirt and big pants, looking like a homebody. He was very nervous after opening the door. He relaxed a lot after hearing these words: "I'm scared to death... Come in and sit down, the house is a bit messy."
But seeing Wang Baoqiang worrying about gains and losses, and remembering his miserable experience, Zhang Guoli still didn't get angry on the spot: "Except for the director, every guest doesn't know who the others are. Don't think too much. Is there Yang An?" , my program will be broadcast, go back and wait for my notification!"
Worried about gains and losses, Wang Baoqiang suffered from insomnia for most of the night. The next day, as agreed, he took his younger brother to Zhang Guoli's studio with two dark circles under his eyes. After an interview, he signed a contract.
