Entertainment: Starting from joining Kugou Video

Chapter 90 Guest Invitation: Tanglou's Network and Influence!

This is also Tang Lou's first project after taking on the role of core business director, and it is a joint production with Candy Culture, which he has invested in.

This is one of the many ways Coolcat collaborates: joint production with Coolcat taking the lead.

Given his current position and decision-making authority, Tang Lou no longer needs to report to Shen Yan; he can make the decision himself for this low-budget variety show.

Since the core of "Roast Conference" is the Candy Culture team, Tang Lou did not have many restrictions on the selection of directors and simply found someone from within Coolcat to fill the role.

As for the overall planning of the program, it was directly handed over to Li Dan, who was still relatively unknown but had a lot of experience.

One reason for this is Li Dan's genuine talent and learning. The second reason is that after his divorce, the elder brother Wang Zijian, who organized the gathering, has lost much of his ambition and is more laid-back, and is willing to help his younger brother.

Therefore, Wang Zijian is now just the spiritual leader and stand-up comedy icon of Candy Culture, used to stabilize people's hearts and unite the team.

Unlike the previous Xiaoguo Culture, this time with Tanglou Culture, Tanglou, as the capital provider, only provides resources, funds, a stage, and controls the direction.

The rest of the planning, production, and scriptwriting were all delegated to Wang Zijian's team, a dream team composed entirely of veteran stand-up comedians.

Next up is the invitation of guest commentators. In the first episode of the previous life, besides the main guest Zhou Jie, Aunt Xue was the most entertaining. These two will definitely be retained.

As for Yingwu Shihang, Zhang Quandan, and Huang Tingting, although their performances are also excellent, they are easily replaceable.

In the previous life, when the first episode of "Roast Conference" was produced, because it was not very famous, there were not many people to invite, and even fewer who were able to come and record the show.

Many of the guests were there because of Tencent Video, the investment platform, but this time Tang Lou is in charge, which will create a different situation.

In today's entertainment industry, Tang Lou's influence and connections are far greater than those of the "Roast Conference" team in his previous life.

Therefore, Tanglou planned to let a few acquaintances in, and the first target was Zhang Yuqi, who was quite controversial and had a lot of scandals.

The scandals involving her and her ex-husband alone are enough to attract a lot of attention.

There's also their own trainee artist, Yang Chaoyue, who is a major highlight of the show. Yang Chaoyue has a huge following and is very suitable for the program.

In addition, Tang Lou thought of a very interesting guest, namely Qin Hao's "elderly wife" Yi Nengjin.

I've really made Qin Hao famous lately, so I'll definitely give her that much face by inviting her to participate in "Roast Conference".

Annie Yi has a lot of controversies and topics surrounding her, coupled with her outstanding eloquence and exceptionally high emotional intelligence, making her a natural fit for talk shows.

Based on their past experiences, all three of them had actually participated in "Roast Conference," and their performances were quite good, attracting a lot of attention.

Zhang Yuqi, in particular, was the main guest on "Roast Conference" and also participated in "Rock & Roast" many times as a judge. She performed very well and was widely praised by the audience.

Zhang Yuqi is straightforward, sharp-tongued, and very outspoken, making him a very suitable guest candidate.

With this lineup, it will definitely crush the guest lineup of the first episode of the previous life.

Moreover, in terms of buzz and appeal, it has completely surpassed the first episode of the previous life. In addition, this is Tang Lou's first variety show series after taking office, and it will be a program that Tang Lou will mobilize all its resources to promote and publicize.

The success of this show is self-evident.

Tang Lou personally contacted Zhang Yuqi, Yang Chaoyue, and Yi Nengjin.

Yang Chaoyue was the first artist under Tanglou, and everything was arranged by the boss.

Her most recent job was as an observer on the show "Heart Signal," which she did very well and received high praise from the audience.

After being honed by this show, I'm practically a veteran of variety shows, so participating in a program like "Roast" is a piece of cake for me.

Moreover, the scripts for this program were all provided by the Candy Culture editorial team, and all she had to do was perform the script. There was even a teleprompter on set, making it a very easy job.

Compared to singing and dancing shows, Yang Chaoyue really loves this show.

Most importantly, participating in "Heart Signal" earned her a lot of money, and this project was strongly promoted by Tanglou, so the reward would likely be substantial, which further motivated Yang Chaoyue.

"Everything is arranged by the junior boss."

Yang Chaoyue obediently and sensibly agreed.

Yi Nengjin cherishes the opportunity given to her by Tang Lou. Firstly, she is grateful to Tang Lou for his support and guidance of her husband. Secondly, she finds it difficult to get work opportunities these days, and the variety show that Tang Lou offered is easy, lucrative, and a project strongly promoted by KuMiao, so it's sure to attract a lot of viewers.

For a veteran star like him, maintaining his popularity and appearing on TV shows is a rare opportunity.

Gaining exposure greatly helped her influence on social media.

Annie Yi gratefully accepted the job.

Next, only Zhang Yuqi was left.

Zhang Yuqi certainly had no objections to the show, and it suited her style and persona perfectly.

However, the last time Tang Lou took her to the Mermaid Pavilion, they saw everything and touched everything, but in the end, because of a fish tail, they didn't have a final, in-depth interaction, which made her quite regretful and somewhat resentful.

Therefore, this time she set a condition: Tang Lou must come over and talk to her in person.

Tang Lou understood Zhang Yuqi's intentions perfectly well.

Tang Lou wasn't afraid; Zhang Yuqi, that woman, was still incredibly charming.

The two arranged to meet at Zhang Yuqi's villa in Shanghai.

Tang Lou went to the meeting alone with the planning proposal for "Roast Conference".

Upon entering the brothel, Zhang Yuqi's eyes held a hint of resentment:

"Mr. Tang, it's been a long time since we last saw each other after recording the show."

I've started to miss you.

Tang Lou has made Qin Hao a star this time, and has also launched the groundbreaking Mist Theater, further enhancing his status in the industry.

Zhang Yuqi paid close attention to Tang Lou, knowing that he had to cling to Tang Lou as a powerful ally.

This time, without Tang Lou having to lift a finger, Zhang Yuqi took the initiative to sit on Tang Lou's lap.

"Mr. Tang, when will the web series of 'Ghost Blows Out the Light' that you mentioned last time start filming? I've been waiting for it for a long time."

Zhang Yuqi looked at Tang Lou with seductive eyes; she was really looking forward to the "Ghost Blows Out the Light" project.

It might actually be a blockbuster, a masterpiece that could make her a phenomenal actress.

"The time isn't right yet, but once we start preparations, the leading lady I promised you won't be leaving."

Tang Lou pinched Zhang Yuqi's chin, admiring this thorny rose up close.

"Take a look at the planning of 'Roast Conference' first, and I'll explain it to you. Think about it."

Tang Lou was talking about work in a very serious manner, while Zhang Yuqi put the proposal aside.

"Of course I trust Mr. Tang's vision and ability. No problem, I will participate in this program."

"Mr. Tang, do you know why I'm tone-deaf when I sing?"

Zhang Yuqi placed his hands on Tang Lou's neck and asked gently.

Tang Lou was somewhat puzzled.

Zhang Yuqi leaned close to Tang Lou's ear:

"Because I traded my singing voice for a pair of human legs."

Last time, the fishtail wrapping made it impossible for the tenement building to move, but this time it's different!

"Mr. Tang, this time, you can't escape!"
