I’m Really a Superstar

( www.du; read the full text without pop-ups)

afternoon.

The old couple has a rest today, and my parents have gone to take a nap.

In the small bedroom, Zhang Ye was also lying in his room, staring at the ceiling and thinking about things. He felt that his career had entered a dead end, and there were constant fights and troubles. However, since he resigned from the TV station, there was no sustainable development. Work goals have been reached. A hammer in front of you and a stick in the west is not a long-term solution. In the end, such popularity is just empty and nothing will be left as time goes by. This is not the result that Zhang Ye wants to see. If he relies solely on If he has to do one thing all at once to maintain his popularity, firstly, he will be very tired. Secondly, in which life will he be able to break into the ranks of fourth-tier artists?

The reference popularity rating given to Zhang Ye by the official website is now only among the top five-tier artists. Even though he has published anthologies and made movies, he has not been able to join the ranks of the fourth-tier artists. This shows how difficult it is. None of the stars above him He is a soft persimmon. He is gaining popularity every day. He can't reach the fourth tier, let alone the domestic or even the international tier. This is just an unattainable dream.

Think about it

Can't go on like this anymore

But where is he going? Where can he go? Zhang Ye still has no direction

Sing? It's not time yet, I haven't mastered my singing skills yet, and it would be embarrassing to take the road of a singer at this moment. Write songs and lyrics for people? That's killing the goose that lays the goose to lay the egg. Although it can continue to increase popularity and fame for the time being, the road is not long. Everyone pays attention to the singers who sing, not the songwriters. No matter how awesome you are, you can't climb to the top by writing songs. The sequence of first-tier stars is impossible for third-tier stars. Filming? With his acting skills, he wasted countless amounts of film on a small supporting role, and it took him just one day to shoot it. Don't think about this career for the time being. Zhang Ye still needs life experience and experience, and needs to learn slowly in life. Enlightenment. Be a director? He has no qualifications, so who dares to let him direct a play? And Zhang Ye doesn't know how to do it either. He can't even use a camera. writing a novel? The novel industry itself also has limitations. Compared with singers and actors, it is just a niche. Even if Zhang Ye worked hard to write hundreds of thousands of words to make a best-selling book, other singers can just sing a tepid song. , the attention and popularity it received is probably higher than that of the novel, unless Zhang Ye writes one book a day and hundreds of books a year, but in that case he may be arrested for research. TV station? No one dares to ask for him anymore, and this is no longer the case. Home radio announcer? The audience there is too small. Zhang Ye can't live longer and go back. No matter how good the place is, I'm afraid it won't be able to attract fourth-tier artists. The audience base is there.

have to

All roads are blocked

Zhang Ye felt like crying. God is trying to kill me. Isn't there a development path suitable for me now? God, please stop making trouble, please, really stop making trouble

Maybe he heard Zhang Ye's cry.

Suddenly, an unexpected phone call came.

A week after Zhang Ye resigned, an unexpected place extended an olive branch to Zhang Ye.

There was a very nice female voice over there. From the sound of her voice, she was probably a woman. She was probably not too young. "Hello, is this Zhang Ye's cell phone?"

"It's me." Zhang Ye said while lying on the bed, "Who are you?"

The woman smiled and said, "It's not easy to find you. I asked several friends in the industry to ask for your mobile phone number from an old leader. Okay, let me introduce myself first. My English name is Victoria. I am The founder, investor, and president of Weiwo Company. Our company specializes in online TV and video. I believe you must have heard the name of the website. It is among the best in the industry. As for me, I should be much older than you. Your name is It’s okay for me, Lao Wei, you can call me Sister Wei, it’s just a title, it doesn’t matter.”

Khan, can you still call someone with a foreign name like that?

Zhang Ye didn't care about this either, "My name is Mr. Wei, who am you looking for?"

"Many of my friends believe in Buddhism, and I also like Buddhist culture very much. Probably the day before yesterday, two of my friends talked about some of your verses during dinner. When I heard it, I was very interested, and then I found out. There is such a broadcast host in the capital." The woman named Victoria smiled and said: "I spent all night watching your Zhang Ye's Three Kingdoms on the ht literary channel. It was very good. I was attracted by the first episode. , I read your poems again, and listened to your recording of "Ghost Blows Out the Lamp" on the radio. I heard that these are all your original creations? You planned most of the column "Baijia Forum" alone? "

Zhang Ye modestly said, "More or less, it's also the team's credit."

Unexpectedly, he made a guest appearance in a movie and caused some trouble. Through this, a company boss paid attention to him and even called him personally.

Take a look

There are also advantages to doing things.

Victoria said: "Our video website has been doing online TV for a year. The first time I saw your program, I knew you are the host our online TV needs."

Zhang Ye was flattered and said: "You praise me."

"How about it?" Victoria smiled and said: "Are you interested in developing a career in the network TV industry? I heard that you have been banned by the TV station system and can't go back, but we don't have as many rules as they do here. As long as you come, we will be alone I will make a program for you. You are a master in program planning. You can decide the program items yourself. You can also choose the broadcast time of the network TV. You can raise the salary yourself. Everything is easy to discuss.

ah?

Do you say the salary yourself?

Decide the columns yourself?

Pick a time slot at will?

Zhang Ye thought to himself that this treatment was too good, could there be something fishy in it? He asked: "President Wei, do you want me to do another column similar to "Hundred Schools Forum"?" Although Beijing TV Station fired him, there are still his old friends and old leaders there. Hu Fei is very interested in this column. He was not bad, and he was the one who brought him to the TV station against all the opinions. It was impossible for Zhang Ye to run a similar column to compete with Hu Fei, Xiao Lu and others.

Victoria's answer reassured him, "You are overthinking. We have no intention of letting you compete with your old employer. Moreover, programs like "Hundred Forums" are good, but the age of the audience is still a bit older. Although among young people, There are also many people who like to watch it, but most of them are in the viewing age group of over 25 years old, with more middle-aged and elderly viewers. If it is put on online TV, this will not work. The audiences we face are in their teens. The age group between 30 and 30 years old is the main force of online TV."

Zhang Ye nodded, "That's right."

"Mr. Zhang can think about it first, but you should see our sincerity and really want to invite you to come here to develop together. By the way, I might want to say that my company's office and headquarters are in Shanghai. You may If you want to live here permanently, we don’t have a recording location in the capital yet.” Victoria said.

"Okay, I'll think about it."

"Okay, then I'll wait for your good news, haha."

"Thank you for the invitation, I will seriously consider it."

After hanging up, Zhang Ye's cell phone rang again. It was Hu Fei calling.

"Xiao Zhang." Hu Fei asked: "Just now a friend asked me for your phone number. It seems that Internet TV wants you to come over? Have you replied?"

Zhang Ye immediately said: "Not yet, I was just going to ask you, is this online TV okay?"

"People in your circle don't even know about online TV?" Hu Fei wondered, but still explained, "In fact, it is a form of video broadcast first launched on the Internet, but the program is relatively rich, including variety shows, News programs, there are also children’s programs…”

In the world before Zhang Ye, the development of online TV was not mature. In fact, it was not really online TV. It was just a video website developed by some TV stations, which was equivalent to live broadcasting or rebroadcasting the resources on the TV station. It’s just more convenient for everyone to watch on a video website. But after listening to Hu Fei's words, Zhang Ye understood that the online TV in this world was not like this. Instead, it was much more developed and mature than his world. It was a real online TV station that had programs every day just like TV. The columns are broadcast on time during the time slot, and are posted on the Internet through video. It is a unique first-run program. It is not the kind of recording that replicates TV stations. The advertising model and business model are also very mature. It is also influenced by the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television. Leadership and review.

"Then do you want me to go?" Zhang Ye asked for advice.

Hu Fei said: "It depends on you. No one in traditional TV stations dares to accept you now. There may be only one way to do it: online TV. There are advantages and disadvantages there. The advantage is that the viewing base is relatively large and there are many people online. If so, A powerful program can reach millions of clicks in a single episode. Calculated, the number of viewers is much higher than when you talked about "Three Kingdoms" on our art station. However, the disadvantage is that the information on the Internet is scattered. The volume is too large. Unlike TV, which only has a few channels, you can only watch TV programs when you turn on the TV. But it is different on the Internet. You don’t necessarily have to watch online TV to open a web page. Some people can watch movies, watch animations, etc. I can read novels and watch videos, so a successful online program, which is really made out of thousands of troops, has to compete not only with online TV in the same industry, but also with all other online things, which is a lot of pressure. It’s not easy to get ahead.”

Zhang Ye was thoughtful.

Hu Fei chuckled and said, "But who doesn't know what you are capable of, Xiao Zhang? Others may never be able to get ahead in this vast ocean, but you are different. I believe you can do it."

"Thank you, Brother Hu."

"You decide for yourself."

"Okay, let me think about it again."

After the call ended, Zhang Ye lay on the bed and started rubbing his temples. His head hurt. There were opportunities but also disadvantages. Should he go or not?

big head

It's really a hard decision

The so-called stars are not as enviable as others see them. They are glamorous on the surface. In fact, only you know the pain behind them. If you make a wrong step, your reputation will plummet, and you will never be able to get back up. This is An industry that is shocking every step and takes a lot of brains

Just look at Zhang Ye and you will understand how much brain-work it takes.

Do you know why Zhang Ye always scratches his head?

Do you know why Zhang Ye always pinches his head?

Do you know why Zhang Ye always puts his hands in his hair and can't sleep in the middle of the night?

Yes, it's because he has always been... troubled by dandruff
