Chapter 224 Meng Ziyi wants to sing on the local TV station's Spring Festival Gala
"By the way, Mr. Yang, do you have any additional requirements for this cooperation?" Long Danny asked tentatively.

Not only did Yang Hao come up with a very mature variety show plan, he also customized a movie for this variety show, showing excessive enthusiasm, which made Long Danny very suspicious whether Yang Hao had other purposes.

"The company has a contracted artist, and I think she is very suitable for this variety show." The purpose of promoting this variety show is to let Yang Chaoyue debut. Yang Hao always feels that it is most appropriate for Yang Chaoyue to debut in "Creation 101". Without the koi persona, Chaoyue sister is soulless.

There are so many beautiful girls in the entertainment industry, but few are as interesting as Koi’s character.

"oh?".

Danny Long never expected that Yang Hao would let his contracted artists debut on this variety show. After all, Yang Hao's company has so many resources, and it is too easy for an artist to debut. There is really no need for them to debut through "Creation 101".

Although he didn't quite understand why Yang Hao wanted to push his own artists to this variety show, Long Danny, who was well versed in the ways of the world, would definitely not refuse. He even welcomed major film and television companies to put their carefully trained artists on their own talent shows.

The whole point of a talent show is to show off, but ordinary amateurs don’t have that much to show off. They are simply incomparable to the trainees carefully trained by major companies. With the participation of artists trained by these major companies, this talent show is bound to make this variety show more exciting.

The most crucial point is that in order to promote their own artists, those big companies will definitely buy topics and hot searches, which will have a significant benefit to the popularity of the variety show.

"Mr. Yang, do you have this artist's resume?"

"Resume?" When this thing came, Yang Hao was really not prepared.

Long Danny saw the dilemma on Yang Hao's face clearly and instantly realized that Yang Hao did not bring the artist's resume.

"Then there should be photos, right?" Long Danny took the initiative to lower his requirements.

"Yes, yes, there must be photos," Yang Hao quickly opened the photo album on his mobile phone, which contained many selfies of Yang Chaoyue.

After taking the phone handed to me by Yang Hao, I saw a cute little girl with twin ponytails in the phone album.

Long Danny flipped through the album again. Not only were there photos of Yang Chaoyue with twin ponytails, but also selfies with long black hair. Each style of photo was matched with several styles of clothing.

"What a beautiful and cute girl," Long Danny couldn't help but exclaimed when he saw the photo.

The most important thing in a girl group audition is appearance. Long Danny is very satisfied with the appearance of the artist sent by Yang Hao.

"What's this girl's name? How old is she?".

"Yang Chaoyue, 16 years old this year," Yang Hao answered quickly.

A 16-year-old cute little loli. Long Danny thinks that many people will like this style.

"Do you have any talents?" After all, it's a girl group audition. It's impossible for them to debut just by relying on their looks. At least they have to be able to sing, dance and rap.

"Uh, talent?" What kind of talent does Yang Chaoyue have? This really stumped Yang Hao.

Yang Hao thought about it for a long time, but still couldn't figure out what talents Yang Chaoyue had.

The plan was to have Yang Chaoyue debut on "Produce 101" early on, so several singing and dancing teachers were hired for her. But unfortunately, Yang Chaoyue really had no talent in this area and could not learn it no matter how hard she tried.

He can’t sing or dance, and he seems to only be able to act cute.

Seeing that Yang Hao thought for a long time but couldn't say what talents Yang Chaoyue had, Long Danny was very upset.

This is a talent show. What are you doing here if you don't have any talent?
Do you really think your artist can become famous in the entertainment industry just by relying on his face?
Originally, Danny Long thought that this artist must have some special qualities to be signed by Yang Hao, but she didn't expect that he was actually a jack of all trades. She was a little confused about the standards for signing artists by Yang Hao's company.

Does it mean that as long as you are pretty, you can be signed by Yang Hao?

But after all, since he was an artist sent by Yang Hao, Long Danny would definitely accept him.

Although Yang Chaoyue can't sing or dance, and may not perform well in this variety show, Long Danny is still very optimistic about her, after all, her boss is Yang Hao.

What is the most important thing in the entertainment industry?
Talent? Acting skills?

NO, NO, NO.

None of these are important, the most important thing is the sponsor.

There are quite a few people in the entertainment industry who have terrible acting skills and bad reputation, but have amazing resources. These are typical examples of people who have financial sponsors behind them.

With Yang Hao as her financial sponsor, Yang Chaoyue's future development is definitely limitless, and Long Danny can foresee this.

"Mr. Yang, do you have any requirements for Yang Chaoyue's final ranking in the group?" Long Danny must ask this clearly.

“As long as we can make it into the final 11 and form a group, that’ll be fine.” Yang Hao didn’t have any high requirements for the ranking. Yang Chaoyue didn’t debut as the first place in her previous life, but she almost sucked away the popularity of this girl group talent show.

"Huh", Long Danny breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that Yang Hao only asked Yang Chaoyue to make it into the final top 11 and form a group.

If Yang Hao had decided that Yang Chaoyue would be the first place, that would be really difficult to deal with. After all, Yang Chaoyue is pretty, but she is not good at singing or dancing. If Yang Chaoyue was decided as the first place, not only would people question Yang Chaoyue, but the program team would also be accused of operating behind closed doors, and their reputation would be ruined.

Once we have roughly agreed on the details of the cooperation with Long Danny, things will be much easier afterwards.

Long Danny has a close relationship with Mango TV, so she was asked to contact Mango TV. As for Penguin Video, Yang Hao had worked with them before when they debuted, so Yang Hao was asked to contact them.

With Long Danny, the godmother of talent shows, in charge and Yang Hao making a customized movie as the basis, Mango TV and Penguin Video are both very interested in this variety show.

The four parties hit it off and the variety show "Produce 101" was officially put on the agenda.

In the previous life, Mango TV did not participate in the variety show "Creation 101" because Penguin has its own TV channel. However, Penguin TV has not been established yet, so Mango TV was brought in to join in.

After consultation among all parties, a new agency called Waji Waji will be established. The 101 artists who will form the final group of "Produce 11", no matter which company they were from before, must sign a two-year agency contract with Waji Waji.

The profit sharing ratio between Waji Waji and the artists is as high as 8 to 2.

This profit sharing ratio is really scary. Take Yang Chaoyue as an example. She made 1 million yuan, and Waji Waji took 73%, leaving only million yuan. This million yuan had to be shared with Yang Hao's company, which was another %. The million yuan was only million yuan left. After deducting taxes, there was really not much money left. This is why Yang Chaoyue was so popular in her previous life, earning hundreds of millions of yuan a year, but she said in an interview that her current income was not enough to buy a house in Shanghai.

How could Yang Hao allow his little assistant to be exploited like this? If he was going to exploit someone, he could only do it himself.

Yang Hao gave up a lot of his shares in Waji Waji, and finally Yang Chaoyue's share ratio was changed to 28, while Yang Hao's company's share was 8.

After finishing his work on "Produce 101", Yang Hao returned to the crew.

"Chaoyue!" Yang Hao waved his hand and called Yang Chaoyue to his side.

"Boss, do you have something to talk to me about?" Seeing Yang Hao calling, Yang Chaoyue trotted over to Yang Hao.

"Yang Yue, I have good news for you. The reason I went out this time is to discuss with you about participating in a talent show, and plan to have you debut on it." As soon as he returned to the crew, Yang Hao couldn't wait to talk to Yang Chaoyue about "Produce 101". Yang Hao was looking forward to the birth of the koi girl.

"Ah?" Yang Chaoyue was very surprised when she heard Yang Hao say that he was going to participate in a talent show and make his debut in this way.

A few days ago, her boss told her that he wanted to help her debut. She thought she would be allowed to play an important role in a movie and then debut, but she never expected that she would participate in a talent show.

That's a talent show, and you have to show your talent.

Yang Chaoyue has a clear understanding of herself. She knows that not only can she not sing, she also can't dance. It would be embarrassing for her to participate in such a variety show.

"Boss, why is this a talent show? I want to act in your movie. Can you let me debut in your movie?" Yang Chaoyue hugged Yang Hao's arm and looked up at him with tears in her eyes. Anyone who saw her pitiful look would feel distressed.

Yang Chaoyue has used this trick of pretending to be pitiful against Yang Hao countless times. Normally, whenever Yang Chaoyue used this method, Yang Hao would generally agree to her request. But today, Yang Chaoyue actually didn't want to participate in the talent show, which Yang Hao definitely could not agree to.

There are countless beauties in the entertainment industry. Why does Yang Hao value Yang Chaoyue? It’s because of her status as a koi. Without this halo bonus, Yang Hao’s sexual interest in Yang Chaoyue would suddenly decrease by more than half.

As for celebrities, they play with the aura and fame. What’s the difference between an unknown artist and an ordinary person?
"Chaoyue, since you don't want to make your debut, then just be my assistant for the rest of your life," Yang Hao threatened with a vicious look.

"No, I agreed to go on the talent show. Boss, don't be angry, I will definitely listen to you obediently." Seeing Yang Hao's angry look, Yang Chaoyue immediately lowered his head and admitted his mistake, saying that he would be obedient.

This is the good thing about Yang Chaoyue. She sometimes acts cute and acts like a spoiled child to please me in small matters, but she always listens to me in big matters.

Such a caring and understanding assistant is really rare.

The ratings for "Running Man" in its fifth week have reached 2.97 and are about to break 3.

In the sixth week, the ratings exceeded 3, reaching 3.21.

A variety show with a viewership rating of over 3 can be said to be a hit variety show, and Meng Ziyi's popularity is getting hotter and hotter.

But as Meng Ziyi became more popular, negative news about her also came along. Various bad words such as "green tea" and "bitch" would appear in the comments on her Weibo from time to time.

Of course, there are still many people who think that she has a straightforward personality and just speaks without thinking.

"Honey, I'm so famous now. This year, the Spring Festival Gala has contacted me and asked me to sing on stage." After a wonderful exchange at the crew hotel in the evening, Yang Hao put his arm around Meng Ziyi's slender waist, played with a bunch of car lights, and the two of them whispered intimately.

"Spring Festival Gala? Singing?" Yang Hao almost burst out laughing when he heard Meng Ziyi say that.

In her previous life, Meng Ziyi was known as the lark in the entertainment industry and the deadly singer.

Netizens joked that Meng Ziyi broke into the Moon Altar and didn’t even need to buy copyright to sing.

"Haha", Yang Hao thought of the famous scene of Meng Ziyi singing in later generations, and finally couldn't help but laughed.

"Ziyi, who is so blind as to invite you to sing?"

"It's Litchi Terrace."

"Lizhitai?" In her previous life, Meng Ziyi became famous on Lizhitai. The video was edited into a short video and widely circulated on Douyin, becoming a famous scene in her life.

Thinking about how Zhou Huajian was singing so loudly that he couldn't even cover up Sister Meng's off-tune, Yang Hao couldn't stop laughing.

"No, dear, what do you mean by laughing so loudly? Are you saying that my singing is terrible?" Meng Ziyi felt that he was making fun of her and suddenly felt unhappy. She clenched her fist and threatened Yang Hao that if he didn't give her a reasonable explanation, she would beat him to death with her fist.

Seeing Meng Ziyi clenching his flawless white fist, which looked harmless, he glanced at the other party's turbulent waves.

I thought to myself: "Your little fist may not be able to kill me, but if you use your turbulent waves, maybe you can smother me to death."

"No, Ziyi sings very well. I was just thinking about happy things just now," Yang Hao stopped laughing and said seriously with a serious face.

"Lizhi TV invited you to participate in the Spring Festival Gala. I guess they want you to sing a duet with Mr. Zhou Huajian?" Yang Hao asked later.

"Huh? Honey, how did you know?" Meng Ziyi knew that Yang Hao was a bit lazy. In name, he was the boss of the company, but he didn't care much about the company's specific affairs. Yu Li was in charge of them. Litchi TV had just sent out the invitation, so Yang Hao shouldn't have known about it so quickly.

"Ah? I actually sang a duet with Mr. Zhou Huajian."

Hearing Meng Ziyi's answer, Yang Hao was slightly stunned. He really didn't expect that although he had obviously changed Meng Ziyi's life trajectory, some things would still happen. It seems that some things are really destined.

Yang Hao doesn't like it when others sing out of tune, but he likes it very much. He even looks forward to seeing Sister Meng perform her famous role as the Deadly Diva on Lizhi TV during the Spring Festival.

As the Spring Festival approaches, all the artists in the entertainment industry become busy. The artists in the crew of "Go Away Tumor" are no exception, and the phenomenon of asking for leave has become increasingly frequent.

"What? The post-production of the movie "Detective Chinatown 3" is almost complete? Okay, okay, I get it, I'll be there right away."

"Detective Chinatown 1" will be released during the Spring Festival. This project is definitely Yang Hao's No. project this year and he cannot afford to fail. Now that he heard that the post-production of the film is almost completed, Yang Hao immediately asked Han Yan for leave and came to China Film Group.

The China Film Screening Room was already full of people, including Ci Peikang, Wanda CEO Jiang, and some theater managers.

"Come, Yang Hao, come and sit next to me." Ci Peikang was the first to notice Yang Hao's arrival, and immediately warmly invited Yang Hao to sit next to him.
