The era of top influencers that started with illiteracy

Chapter 35: Let's see who runs the fastest!

Back to the hotel.

It was already 7 p.m.

Shen Jian didn't feel particularly tired.

For him, business trips to record shows are simply a matter of moving from one hotel to another.

But looking at the pitiful account balance...

He knew he had to rent a place as soon as possible.

Otherwise, the two hundred thousand or so yuan I have wouldn't last a year at all.

Currently, I haven't received a quote for my own variety show.

So this is one of the reasons why he chose "Happy Singles 2".

Reality shows are certainly comfortable.

However, recording only one episode, no matter how well one performs, is not enough to break into the mainstream.

Only those who stand out in the competition deserve a price.

Therefore, this variety show is very important for him.

[Talent Tree: Already lit up]

[Public Speaking Performance (Proficient)]

Shen Jian looked at the panel.

The talent I've currently developed is public speaking.

Without a doubt, this skill is a perfect fit for stand-up comedy.

That's why he had some confidence to make his choice.

However, the current level is only proficient.

It's uncertain whether it will be sufficient to handle the competition system of "Xidan".

Shen Jian picked up his phone, preparing to go to the video website to watch the previous season's program.

Actually, there are only a few groups of people doing stand-up comedy in China.

Starting with Wang Zijian hosting "Tonight 80 Talk Show," talented writers such as Li Dan and Wang Jianguo began to emerge.

Then stand-up comedy became popular, and comedians stepped out from behind the scenes to the forefront.

Later, a group of stand-up comedy masters, such as Pang Bo, Hu Lan, and Xu Zhisheng, entered the public eye.

Nowadays, a small number of them are even doing very well in the entertainment industry, participating in top-rated variety shows, and some have even acted in dramas.

This also proves the saying: All roads lead to Rome.

I watched videos for an hour.

Shen Jian watched the first season of "King of Comedy Stand-up Comedy". The champion was named "Fu Hang" and his performance was excellent.

Comparing them together...

Simply being proficient in public speaking is probably not enough to handle these masters.

Generally speaking, the contestants and guests in the second season are not much different from those in the first season.

Although new people will join, there will definitely be a few veterans.

Therefore, one's talent level needs to be raised by at least one or even two levels to reach the master level.

And the fastest way to improve right now.

It's simply a matter of getting rewards for completing the character profile, and then exchanging those rewards for talent levels.

I checked the time.

It's exactly eight o'clock.

Shen Jian opened the Douyin backend and started the live stream.

Within minutes, the number of viewers in the live stream reached 10,000.

The barrage of comments scrolls faster:

[Is "Ten Pounds of Honesty" airing?]

[Holy crap, where is he?]

[Is this another mukbang video today? I'm craving it!]

Are you in Shashi?

[Big star, what show did you record this time?]

[My dear son, speak up!]

Fans are asking questions like crazy.

Shen Jian replied with a smile: "Family, I'm back in Beijing. The show is finished. It's called 'It's all up to you, Refrigerator'."

[Huh? You went to the fridge?]

[Damn! I should have known better. Filming a program in Shashi, besides Hunan TV, it's definitely He Jiu's variety show!]

[Oh my god! You're on He Jiong's variety show!]

[666. The illiterate are taking off!]

[Who are the guests?]

Shen Jian: "It'll be released at the end of the month, then you'll know."

[......]

[Speak quickly!]

[You're so tight-lipped.]

While we were talking,

A notification popped up below Shen Jian's screen.

Shen Jian looked up and was surprised to see that the person on the other end of the line was Zhao Duoyang.

He had forgotten when he and his friend had followed each other on social media.

There are generally two ways to PK on Douyin: one is random PK, and the other is to connect with people you know from your list of followed friends.

It's obvious that the other party saw my live stream and then deliberately connected.

Shen Jian: "Family members, someone's online for a PK battle, what do you say, are you in?"

[Um? Let's get this straight, what are we talking about?]

[I'm not someone who hits people randomly.]

Playing too much will only hurt you.

[I'm out of tissues, I'll do it next time.]

[That's right, you're not allowed to squander our future marital assets!]

Shen Jian: "One leak, two leaks, three are just enough, let's play, family!"

[Breaking update +1]

[Down-to-earth +1]

[Pfft... less than three sheets, it's not that runny.]

[Wow... Hahaha!]

[Wait... what the hell is this livestream room?]

[You can even drive on this beat-up road? That's really down-to-earth.]

[I'm really impressed! Let's fight!]

Shen Jianjiang set the mood perfectly.

The fans decided to open their wallets.

Shen Jian clicked "Accept".

Subsequently, the live video split into two halves, one on the left and one on the right.

Zhao Duoyang appeared at the other end.

And the next second after the connection was successfully established, we saw Shen Jian.

A subtle smile appeared at the corner of Zhao Duoyang's mouth.

Since returning from the variety show, Zhao Duoyang has been trapped in a vicious cycle of self-doubt.

He didn't understand why he always lost to Shen Jianyi.

If we can't win this game back.

After that, every step I took in the entertainment industry was overshadowed by that damn guy.

So in order to regain confidence.

He's been watching Shen Jian on Douyin for a whole day.

Finally, I saw him live streaming in the evening.

So I quickly clicked to connect.

He lacked confidence on variety shows and was far less prominent than Shen Jian.

But in the live streaming field, Zhao Duoyang believes he can get his revenge.

After all, the eldest sister in the family is still alive.

And at this moment,

When they saw that the person who came was Zhao Duoyang.

The live stream chat below was flooded with comments.

[Wait a minute! Isn't this Zhao Duoyang?]

[The one who rose to power through her older sister's connections?]

[I heard he signed with a talent agency, and he even posted a video saying he was leaving the internet to become a star. How come he's back?]

[This is interesting. Isn't this a showdown of the century between two entertainment industry giants?]

"Shen Jian." Zhao Duoyang had a triumphant expression on his face: "Isn't it a coincidence? We met at the refrigerator, and then we met on the live stream. How about we have a PK match?"

Shen Jian raised an eyebrow: "Hitting is fine, but what will the punishment be?"

Zhao Duoyang smiled dismissively: "I don't think that's necessary. If you lose, I'll feel bad punishing you. Just play around, there's no need to take it so seriously."

After saying that...

A chorus of boos erupted in the chat.

[This is hilarious. He was the one who initiated the PK (player versus player) match, but now he's acting like he's being magnanimous.]

[He even went to the refrigerator, how funny.]

[I've disliked this 'male model' for a long time, let's get him!]

[Shen Jian, I'll get you a sports car!]

Shen Jian nodded: "Alright then, we'll talk about the punishment after this is all over."

"Okay." Zhao Duoyang agreed, a look of triumph flashing in his eyes, and then continued, "By the way, Shen Jian, do you have any work scheduled later? I'll be joining the film crew soon."

"Are you filming a movie?"

"Yes, I'll be playing the third male lead in the new historical drama that's going to be released next year."

"oh."

"Didn't your company hand you a notebook?"

"without."

"Oh dear, that's a real shame. If you don't join a production in the second half of the year, you'll probably miss your chance and have to wait until next year."

"Um."

"Hey, I won! Haha, come on, I'll give you a punishment, and you have to do something special."

"OK."

"What's coming?"

"Runs fast."

next second.

The connection has ended.

Shen Jian disappeared.

Zhao Duo and Yang Ren were stunned for a long time.

"You... damn it! You're such a jerk, aren't you?!"

Studio:

[Pfft, that was a good demonstration.]

[He's about to faint from anger!]

[Hahaha, you ungrateful bastard!]

[He's playing the third male lead? I think he'd be more like a mistress.]
