China Entertainment 1997

"Happy Story" recording scene

The two hosts Cheng Qian and Hu Ke opened the show, talked about some soup talk and commercials, and then sang and sang in harmony.

"Hey, Teacher Cheng, let me ask you, have you been watching any TV series recently?"

"Yes, I was watching a time-travel drama recently. Wow, modern people time-travel to the Ming Dynasty. It's so interesting."

"Isn't it the popular "Love Through Time"?"

"Are you watching too?"

"Not only did I watch it, but I also invited the main creative staff of their crew to our show, including Hu Jing, Pan Yueming, Yuan Quan, and Duan Long."

"Welcome, everyone."

After a pair of double acts, Hu Jing and others filed out, and many spectators at the scene immediately began to cheer, with Hu Jing and Pan Yueming being the most popular.

"Little boy, Princess Xianxian."

"Call (Hu) the wind and rain, and keep your eyes fixed (Jing)."

"Ahhhh, Hu Jing!"

"Pan Yueming, I love you."

"so hot."

"..."

At this stage, the audience at many variety shows are fans and staff, and most of them are fans. Basically, they go to major schools to find people, and everyone happily greets the stars.

I don’t care about the remuneration, and I don’t even have to worry about the show team’s meals. Some people compete for the spots and can’t get them, so they have to secretly give two.

This situation lasted for a long time, and later even developed directly to professional fan groups connecting with the program team and voluntarily coming to support.

However, recording programs is very troublesome, especially in the later stages. Various variety shows are severely involved in the involution. They often record several episodes together, or record repeatedly in order to find hot spots, coupled with various reasons such as schedules.

Audiences often sit for the whole day, and live variety show recordings without subsequent editing are not as interesting as shown on TV, and are even a bit boring.

Many ordinary fans can't stand it, let alone the people who eat melons, so extra performers who took over the work were born, and many college students have done it.

You can watch celebrities, live without being tired, and make money. Many people are willing to give it a try.

Nowadays, variety shows have one deduction after another, and there are not many extra performers at all. Most of them are fans or students.

Everyone is very simple, not thinking about asking for money, and there is little entertainment. It is interesting to watch the recording scene, which may not be very exciting.

The most important thing is to be obedient, do whatever the director tells you to do, and cheer crazily with posters or homemade light signs.

………

The four of them, Hu Jing and others, also interacted and greeted the audience. None of them are very individual entertainers, so they all tend to be more conservative when it comes to such an entertainment variety show.

The host is also used to such guests and slowly guides them to relax.

"Happy Story" is a variety show owned by Happy Media, which is the company that has been mentioned before as the "Four Young Masters of Private TV" along with Enlight Media.

One of the more promising projects of this company in the future is to cooperate with Modutai to create a series of comedy variety shows such as "Happy Comedian" and "Swordsman".

It can be regarded as the only company among the privately-owned Four Young Masters that will continue to stick to the variety show position in the future.

Of course, it may also be related to the repeated setbacks after they transitioned to movies. The films they participated in and invested in, such as "The Assassin", "The Great Warrior" and "The Mystery of Love", were thrown out one after another...

The variety show "Happy Story" was very popular before 2005. It was once tied for the top three variety shows with "Happy Camp" and "Super Winner".

It's just that compared to "Happy Camp" which is affiliated to Hunan TV, Happy "Super Winner" is affiliated to Hunan TV.

"Story" follows the path of separation of production and broadcasting, that is, the TV station broadcasts it for free, and the producer gets a share of advertising. It has cooperated with Shanghai TV, Heilongjiang TV, and Beijing TV.

Because of this, "Joy" will not take into account the TV station on which the TV series premieres, which is more convenient for the crew to promote.

However, as the most popular TV show in China at the moment, the schedule of "Jolly Story" is not very easy to grab.

That is to say, the broadcast of "Love Through Time" was in full swing, and coupled with the relationship with Beijing TV, they jumped in and won the first episode of the program.

"I'm very happy to see four of you come to our show today. I really like watching "Love Through Time". I secretly asked Princess Xianxian if she and Zhu Yunwen are together."

"It's suspected of being a spoiler, so I can't tell you. Read on for yourselves."

The host understood the purpose of this program very well, so he used every opportunity to introduce it to "Love Through Time and Space", and Hu Jing and others also followed suit to promote it.

There are certainly no spoilers, but some minor plot points can still be mentioned. Anyway, the goal is to attract new audiences as much as possible.

The modes of "Happy Story" and "Happy Camp" are very similar, entertainment interviews + games, but more emphasis is placed on question and answer games, with some tricky and unpopular knowledge to test the artists.

Usually the questions are weird and varied. This year, we specially cooperated with each other and asked a large number of questions from the early Ming Dynasty. Everyone also used the opportunity to use the drama "Love Through Time".

At the end of the show, Hu Jing sang the popular theme song "Providence of Love" live, which won a lot of applause.

At the end of the recording, after saying hello to the host, Hu Jing and Pan Yueming came to the auditorium to sign autographs with their fans.

"Sister, you are so good at playing the little boy. You must work harder in the future."

"Thank you for your support."

Hu Jing signed the poster with her own stills and drew a smiley face in emoji - ∩_∩.

This is what Cao Xuan taught her. The painting looks cute and playful, but also contains blessings. The fans are happy and it also looks unique.

If the old man hadn't been too embarrassed to act cute, Cao Xuan would have used it himself, and now he has taught it to Hu Jing. The effect is quite good, and the little girl was given a special surprise.

When people nearby saw it, they all came to ask for autographs and smiley faces. Hu Jing accepted all comers and drew them one by one, and fans sent rainbow farts.

"You sing beautifully. I want to sing more songs in the future."

Hu Jing nodded readily: "Okay, I will sing if I get the chance."

"Xianxian, you and Yunwen are a good match. Are they boyfriend and girlfriend?"

Hu Jing directly clarified: "No, just friends."

"I like your Pang Feiyan the most, but it's a pity that I won't be in the second part."

Hu Jing smiled apologetically and mentioned Amway's new drama: "I'm sorry, but you can watch my other dramas. In addition to this one that is currently airing, "Love Through Time", there will also be "A History of the Martial Arts" next month."

"Jingjing, don't be with that scumbag Cao Xuan, he's too troublesome."

Hu Jing smiled and didn't answer, but she only signed her name to this movie fan, leaving out the ∩_∩.

There were less than 200 viewers at the scene, and Hu Jing signed almost all of them. Most of the people were interested in her, and even many staff members of the program team secretly asked for autographs.

Hu Jing realized more and more that she was really famous and had become the kind of big star that people recognize wherever she goes.

But this is understandable. "Love Through Time" was launched at the end of August, and its ratings were 4.2 when it first aired.

In the next few days, the ratings continued to rise. Less than half of the show was played, and it had climbed to 7.4.

Judging from the original betting contract, Fanxing undoubtedly won the bet, and the final average ratings are expected to exceed 10%.

According to the agreement, Beijing TV has to pay Fanxing 12 million yuan to purchase the drama, and there are other additional conditions.

Comparing the original bid of 5 million by Jingcheng Channel, it has now more than doubled. Some people in Fanxing even regret that they did not bet too hard, otherwise they would have to ask for more than 20 million.

But that being said, it really wouldn't be that bad. Otherwise, offending Jingcheng Taiwan for a few million would be a small gain at the expense of a big gain.

Having paid 12 million for a drama, Beijing TV was a little sad, but at the same time, it was also very happy. "Love Through Time" has a stable ratings of 10+, making it the TV series with the best performance in Beijing and TV this year.

In the entire field of TV dramas, even if it is not in the top five of the year, it will definitely not be in the top ten.

As Beijing TV Station regards it as the king of dramas of the year, you can imagine how popular "Love Through Time" is now.

In Hu Jing's previous roles in "Young Bao Qingtian" and "Journey to the West", the former was blocked by Bao Zheng and Gongsun Ce, while the latter was said to be the heroine, but in fact she was a supporting actress.

But this time in "Love Through Time and Space", Hu Jing is undoubtedly the star, and she dominates the scene and the audience's attention.

Coupled with Fanxing's massive publicity and Cao Xuan's scandal, as well as "Love" which has already entered the top five of the rankings, Hu Jing has become one of the most popular actresses in mainland China.

Wherever I go, someone calls me "Little Wanzi" or "Xianxian Princess".

The male protagonist Pan Yueming is also popular. Although he is not as popular as Hu Jing, he still has a lot of attention.

Especially his melancholy, gentle, soft and fair appearance made him a popular costume actor in the industry, and many similar roles came to him for roles.

Duan Long and Zhang Chuchu also successfully gained recognition in front of audiences across the country. Before that, one of them was an unknown movie star, and the other was a bit player playing a supporting role.

I can’t say that he is a big name now, but he is also a well-known and well-known artist. He has received many roles, and he is still not a small role. His salary and treatment have also increased accordingly.

………

After the show, the producer and director of "Jolly Story" personally invited several people to dinner.

After all, he is the leading program manager in the Mainland, so everyone still gave him face, and the two hosts also followed him.

Cheng Qian, the male host of "Happy Story", was once the first brother of CCTV. It is said that he and Dong Qing have been in love for six years. His more well-known film and television role is the starring role in the TV series "Dongfang Shuo".

The other host, Hu Ke, knows Sha Yi's wife. She has not been hosting for a long time and is still in the stage of acting as a substitute.

The host issue of "Carrie" is quite complicated. Initially, it was hosted by Cheng Qian and Zhang Yan, the latter being the tomboy of "Pink Girl".

Later, because Zhang Yan wanted to develop a film and television career, he changed to a female host, but she was not popular. It was only in the first two months that Hu Ke, who hosted "Dragon Club", was called in to take over.

However, Cheng Qian seems to have had a conflict with the producers. Some time ago, he even invited Li Bing from "Super Winner" to take over the cast several times.

There have been rumors that Happy Media intends to replace Li Bing with Cheng Qian, and then call Zhang Yan back to partner with Li Bing.

Hu Jing was confused about these things, and she couldn't figure out what the producer himself was eating. Especially at the banquet, several members of the program team were very polite and kept toasting.

Yuan Quan thought that the other party was plotting against Hu Jing, so he pulled Duan Long and the two of them to stop drinking.

But Hu Jing seemed to have figured out something. As expected, someone soon expressed their admiration for Boss Cao to Hu Jing in a subtle way.

The drunkard's intention is not to drink!

This is not inviting Hu Jing, it is clearly Cao Xuan who is behind Hu Jing.

While Hu Jing was wondering if her relationship with Cao Xuan was so obvious, she contacted Cao Xuan via mobile phone text message. Cao Xuan, who was working on a new album, heard the news and learned that the place was not far away, so he drove over directly.
