Chapter 214 Little Junior Brother, Big Celebrity.
Xia Huan was now a very well-respected man. He was no longer the small agent that could be bullied at will by anyone. Such a huge variety show needed not only just the leading actors but also so supporting actors. There were so many opportunities for those actors to show their faces to the public.
In order to establish a good relationship and wait for the second season, it could be said that he was a very popular man everywhere. No matter where he went, there would be people who wanted to buy him sothing. People no longer hesitated to work with him just because Nandou did not like it.
The inco kept growing, and the network also kept expanding, no one seed to be able to stop the rapid rise of Beidou.
However, Xia Huan was by no ans an ungrateful person. After his success, he still felt grateful for Luhua village and maintained a good personal relationship with Zhou Yu. As soon as he heard that Zhou Yu had a question regarding the cast for the second season, he ca to Luhua village imdiately.
After hearing Zhou Yu’s question, Xia Huan replied, “old zhou, it doesn’t work that way. These ACG characters that are made by the people from the real world are called, ‘The People In Pictures’ by us. We can invite them, but they will not participate in the promotional activities in the ACG world at all. Besides, even if we let join the variety show as guests, then the show might be okay in the real world, but not many people know them in the ACG world.”
A good program also needed popular guests to attract popularity, if they let those people join the show as guests, then the rating of the show in the ACG world would be hit hard. And if the rating declined, Starlight TV station would not do them any favor. They might even change the broadcasting schedule and broadcast the show at a much worse ti period. It would only cause the rating of the show to decline even rapidly.
Once they got into this cycle, the show was basically not far off completely dead.
Although “The little Muli’s incredible maze” was extrely popular at the mont, it still needed all kinds of promotions to continue to push the ratings of the show higher. So how could they do sothing so foolish in the midst of promoting the show?
After Xia Huan’s explanation, Zhou Yu also quickly understood it. He didn’t care much about the ratings of the show in the real world, but the rating of the show in the ACG world related to the growth of little Muli, and a good show could get him a lot of benefits. It was essential to the developnt of mini Luhua village.
“Well, then choose the guests for the second season based on your requirents, and forget about what I just said.”
However, Xia Huan suddenly added, “you can ask them to be special guests, but you need to get the license to use the characters, without those licenses, they are not allowed to participate in TV activities anywhere.”
The appearances of the guests in the show were limited, but if it was just a few minutes of advertisent. It should be enough for the Otaku Gaming portal and the penguin company. If he brought a few special guests to the show for each episode, not only could it bring so interesting elents to the season 2 of the show, but it would also et the advertising needs.
It seed feasible.
So Zhou Yu asked Zhou Fu to send a ssage and told the Otaku Gaming portal and the penguin company his requirents. Those characters would not be the main roles of the show, but he could offer them special guest positions. If they agree, they needed to write a character authorization letter, and send him the characters’ details, and then when season 2 started shooting, they would add them in.
This was similar to the normal variety shows. So rich gas or ani companies would usually appear in the popular variety to promote their gas or anis. Although the maze was not a popular show on TV, it had a good response from the ACG communities online, so placing advertisents in this kind of show was not a bad idea at all.
The penguin company imdiately agreed and demanded that the first episode of season 2 must include the assassin. This was also the work of Zhou Yu’s team, and it has been discussed to make it into a live-action movie. It was originally intended to be an animation, but the content was too dark and there were many violent and bloody scenes, so it would be difficult to be approved if it was made into an ani.
So, the live-action movie was a good choice. And since the movie had already started the preparation phase, it was good to make so news and build hype.
If it was the assassin, then naturally Zhou Yu would help to promote this movie. After all, it was his own movie. And in terms of the rest, it would depend on how many advertisent placent requests he received in total in the end, and then he would need to check the suitability of each one.
A week later, after all the things were done, Zhou Fu ca to see Zhou Yu with a thick docunt and told him how Xiaobao was doing.
“Boy Yu, Xiaobao took your advice and continued to learn how to be a martial arts instructor from the master Cheng. Occasionally, he would also accept so invitations and play so roles, but he didn’t join other managent companies. He said that he will co back to help you after he learned everything. He is such a good kid.”
If only his senior brother is that well-behaved as him.
Zhou Fu thought to himself.
“And also, do you know that a film director found Xiaobao, and said to him that his age and skills made him very suitable for his film. He wants to invite him to be the male lead of his show.”
After hearing this, Zhou Yu could not stay calm anymore. Damn! Why is his acting career so smooth? Does it an that having a good face can do anything well?
“What movie? It must be so kind of low-budget crap.”
Zhou Yu got a little envious, then what he heard from Zhou Fu made him instantly spit out the rice from his mouth, “assassin.”
What the heck? What kind of coincidence is this?
The movie turned out to be the assassin that the penguin company planned to shoot, and they even found Lou Xiaobao to be the male lead of the show. Indeed, from the character settings of the comics, it was very similar to Xiaobao’s age and appearance. It could be said that he was the most suitable candidate.
“Xiaobao did not dare to agree on his own. He is waiting for your reply. I think this is a good opportunity if our amusent park had a big movie star, that would be good publicity.”Zhou Fu once again began to dream about the future of the park, without thinking how hard it would be to beco a big movie star.
“How did the penguin company find Xiaobao? Did they know that he is my junior brother?”
If the penguin invited him because of this, then Zhou Yu would definitely tell Xiaobao to reject it. Xiaobao was a simple and honest kid, he didn’t want him to be involved in this kind of dirty business deals.
But Zhou Fu shook his head, indicating that they were not aware of the relationship but saw him occasionally in a big filming studio. At that ti, they already decided to invite him, and since then they have asked him several tis already.
If this was the case, then Zhou Yu would not stop him. As long as he was selected because of his talent and he was happy about it, he would not mind it. But regardless of whether he would beco famous or not, the amusent park would always welco him ho.
“There is another news. It is that Tan Xiuran has really started to make music.”
Tan Xiuran? Oh, right, the girl who fought with him at the amusent park last ti. She had a talent for music production.
Didn’t she refuse to join his team? But why did she suddenly start to make music?
