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 some 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 something. People no longer hesitated to work with him just because Nandou did not like it.
The income kept growing, and the network also kept expanding, no one seemed to be able to stop the rapid rise of Beidou.
However, Xia Huan was by no means 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 came to Luhua village immediately.
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 me 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 time 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 extremely popular at the moment, it still needed all kinds of promotions to continue to push the ratings of the show higher. So how could they do something 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 development of mini Luhua village.
“Well, then choose the guests for the second season based on your requirements, 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 advertisement. 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 some interesting elements to the season 2 of the show, but it would also meet the advertising needs.
It seemed feasible.
So Zhou Yu asked Zhou Fu to send a message and told the Otaku Gaming portal and the penguin company his requirements. 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. Some rich games or anime companies would usually appear in the popular variety to promote their games or animes. Although the maze was not a popular show on TV, it had a good response from the ACG communities online, so placing advertisements in this kind of show was not a bad idea at all.
The penguin company immediately 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 anime.
So, the live-action movie was a good choice. And since the movie had already started the preparation phase, it was good to make some 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 advertisement placement 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 came to see Zhou Yu with a thick document 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 some invitations and play some roles, but he didn’t join other management companies. He said that he will come 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 mean that having a good face can do anything well?
“What movie? It must be some 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 amusement 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 become 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 time, they already decided to invite him, and since then they have asked him several times 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 become famous or not, the amusement park would always welcome him home.
“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 amusement park last time. She had a talent for music production.
Didn’t she refuse to join his team? But why did she suddenly start to make music?
