Chapter 47: Comedy King Stand-up Comedy Season Officially Announced
Misha Ice Cream Business Department.
"Boss, Shen Jian has replied!"
"How so?"
"It seems they didn't say whether they would accept collaborations or not."
"Then keep asking."
"Boss, does it have to be him? Everyone online says he's illiterate. Wouldn't it be better to find a respectable celebrity for publicity?"
in the office.
The man in the suit chuckled softly, a slight smirk playing on his lips.
"Xiao Zhang, you have no idea how valuable the influence of a person with a certain label can be on the internet."
"illiteracy?"
"Yes, but that's not all."
"But isn't that a negative thing?"
The man crossed his arms in front of his nose, his eyes seemingly piercing through everything:
"I've been observing him for a long time, and I even spent two Carnivals on his account and was his number one spender for a week."
"..."
"To be honest, I can't see through him."
"???"
"In short, I trust my judgment. He's very strong, so choosing him was the right decision."
...
...
A week passed in the blink of an eye.
The Star Awards were also held as scheduled during this period.
Yang Tianzhen, accompanied by several top celebrities from her company, traveled to Shenzhen to attend the red carpet event.
Therefore, Shen Jian escaped the pursuit.
Originally, he was thinking that he could bring himself along. Even if he couldn't walk the red carpet, he could still get a seat inside and become acquainted with his favorite female celebrity.
It's a pity that Yang Tian didn't bring him along.
Finally, having no other choice, I had to watch the live stream at the company with Lin Youyou and the others.
"Wow, even when Sister Meng falls, she looks so beautiful!"
"Damn, why is Wang Anyu carrying a string of salted fish on him? Hahaha."
"My goodness, Ju Jingyi's face is 'again' beautiful!"
"Haha, Times Fengjun has gone bankrupt!!"
The girls chattered away, discussing it nonstop.
Shen Jian then chatted with Liang Mu about business cooperation.
"Did they message you privately?"
"Yes, I checked, it's an official corporate account."
Ryoki nodded seriously.
"If it's true, then we can consider it. After all, we can forget about small manufacturers, but Mi Xue is a listed company. I'll have the brand risk control people investigate it later. If there are no problems, we can really talk about it."
Shen Jian shook his head dismissively: "Ah Liang, as big stars, our endorsements should at least be for global fashion brands. Collaborating with a milk tea company? Is that really necessary?"
"Hmm, that's true." Liangmu thought for a moment and continued, "Actually, even if we were to discuss an endorsement contract, with your current fan base, the offer would be at most one or two million, so there's no need to be in such a hurry."
"That's right, look..." Shen Jianwei paused, "How much?"
"One or two million."
"Ryosang, there's an old saying in our country: 'A half-price deal makes a hero.' Please, this collaboration must be finalized! Go for it, dog, you idiot!"
Shen Jian stood up and bowed ninety degrees.
[One more hilarious joke]
"..." Ryoki's face darkened: "Speak like a human."
"Money."
"Understood."
"Should we just talk to them directly?"
"That won't do. The business dealings of the company's artists have always been overseen by President Yang, so we need to wait for her to return."
Moreover, after the Tencent Video All Star Awards, she will probably go to discuss variety show collaborations with iQiyi Video. When she returns, she should officially announce your participation in "Comedy Stand-up Comedy".
My suggestion is to wait until she returns before discussing it further. Postponing it as much as possible is better; the more followers and traffic you have, the higher your asking price will be later.
He listened to Ryoki's advice.
Shen Jian thought for a moment, then nodded in agreement.
They naturally have more experience in this area.
"If it succeeds, will it be my first business success?"
"Of course it counts." Liangmu nodded with a smile.
What he didn't say was that if it really worked out, he would probably be envied to death by the newcomers of the same period.
Within two months of signing with the company, they secured business collaborations worth over a million yuan—a speed that most newcomers couldn't achieve.
In fact, the vast majority of signed artists need to work hard for a long time before they can make a name for themselves.
Before gaining public attention, life was miserable.
There are very few people like Shen Jian who started out illiterate and knew nothing, yet managed to have a smooth journey.
Moreover, Yang Tianzhen isn't someone who's fawned over by just anyone.
An outsider's perspective is often clearer. Even though they usually criticize him harshly, since signing the contract, the care they've given Shen Jian has been almost on par with that given to artists signed under the A-list contract.
This is undoubtedly a form of affirmation.
...
Two days later.
Yang Tianzhen is back in a whirlwind.
in the office.
She produced the announcement and script for "King of Comedy Stand-up Comedy Season 2".
"We've already finished talking. I'll be participating this time too, but not as a judge. I'll be the head of the atmosphere group. I'll bring Shen Jian with me. You can go after you've finished with Xueying's business."
Liangmu nodded: "Okay."
Yang Tianzhen looked at Shen Jian: "Shen Jian, you should memorize the script properly during this time. Even if there is a teleprompter on stage, you still need to be able to understand it thoroughly. After all, stand-up comedy is a performance, not reading a textbook."
"Understood." Shen Jian took a stack of printed A4 paper scripts.
[Project: King of Comedy Stand-up Comedy Season 2]
[Produced by: iQiyi Video]
[Key guests: Yang Tianzhen, Pang Bo, Guo Qilin.]
[Hosts: Li Dan, Da Peng...]
[Rules and Procedures: Group elimination system, five teams, each led by a captain with 10 stand-up comedians, competing in a challenge format, the highest score wins, the lowest score is eliminated...]
[List of participants: Xinbo, Tang Xiangyu, Xiha, Zhai Jianing, Qiqi, Director Fang, Shen Jian...]
Shen Jian looked at the introduction in the notebook.
Actually, the rules haven't changed much from the first season.
The only difference is in the participants.
He had heard Wang Jianguo and Xu Zhisheng mention some of the names on the list.
Some of them participated in the previous season, and after a year of improvement, their skills are definitely stronger than before.
However, Shen Jian, being barefoot, wasn't afraid of those wearing shoes.
After all, I'm illiterate.
We finished talking about the variety show.
It's time to talk about making money.
Liangmu told Yang Tianzhen about the Mi Xue Ice Cream shop.
"That's the situation. I've had the brand department contact them these past couple of days, and they do indeed have this intention."
A look of confusion and surprise flashed in Yang Tianzhen's eyes.
"You really specifically asked for him? You're not mistaken?"
Liangmu nodded: "That's right, they specifically asked Shen Jian to do the soft advertising for their drinks. As for the endorsement, they said we can discuss it later."
Yang Tianzhen looked incredulous.
Although Mi Xue is an affordable milk tea brand.
But they've achieved the largest scale in the country, and have even expanded overseas, opening stores abroad.
She doesn't understand.
Such a large company.
They actually hired an illiterate person to do advertorials.
Yang Tianzhen: "That's really strange, Shen Jian, their marketing director, you old man."
"?!" Shen Jian looked completely innocent: "Sister Yang, first of all, I don't have a master, and secondly, I didn't do anything to offend you when you came back, so why are you cursing at me?"
Yang Tianzhen: "..."
Ryogi: "..."
...
Two days later.
The comedy king stand-up comedy season production team officially announced the recording on Weibo.
Posters and lists were released one after another.
There was nothing happening on the first day.
Until someone found a name on the list that was "not quite right".
The topic immediately sparked heated discussions among netizens…
