Chapter three hundred and eighty first: it's right not to take the usual path(1/2)
Ding Zhi just nodded to Li Xiuyuan and didn't say anything more after that.
In fact, many people have a subconscious tendency to be a teacher. To put it bluntly, it is an alternative way of seeking recognition.
This need to seek approval can sometimes be overwhelming.
For example: "I don't want what you think, I want what I feel."
Or: "My rules are rules."
And: "I'm really angry! Do you think I'm a fool if I don't get angry?"
!" (cross out this sentence)
Sometimes this need is covered with such a layer of skin.
For example: "Hey! You see, I am right! I told you to listen to me a long time ago!"
Another example: "Do you think I'm awesome?"
Or: "Let me tell you, I have the most experience in this. I have been blah blah blah..."
This has led to many coping methods.
The most classic one is: Are you teaching me how to do things?
After all, most people seem to prefer giving out ideas rather than receiving them.
Otherwise, "being able to accept advice" would not become one of the signs of a wise king.
Of course, the relationship between Ding Zhi and Li Xiuyuan is unusual.
Privately speaking, the two of them have an irresistible friendship, and it is a friendship that allows them to be each other's best man when they get married.
To put it bluntly, Ding Zhi was the person who led him into the industry and is now his real boss.
In terms of combat effectiveness, even though Li Xiuyuan is as fat as two people now, that thick fat is of no use at all. If Ding Zhi punches him with all his strength, the end result will probably be the same as a few years ago.
Taking these circumstances into consideration, Li Xiuyuan has always been kind to Ding Zhi.
After all, it has to be done even if it doesn't work. This was something that was said in the past and was called "military admonishment".
Li Xiuyuan also implemented Ding Zhi's "guiding ideas" and began to change his somewhat fixed thinking in recent years.
In the days that followed, after Ding Zhi intervened strongly in the first wave, he took over the initiative in the subsequent preparations, including the selection of guests.
After all, Li Xiuyuan is the overall person in charge of this variety show.
As the boss, Ding Zhi will give advice to the other party, but he will not take over all the work that belongs to Li Xiuyuan.
Regarding work, Ding Zhi will never try to be Zhuge Liang who "kills" himself.
Speaking of which, in fact, the program "Fist to Fight" was not very promising within Peach TV when the project was first established.
First of all, boxing is really a niche sport.
For example, previous niche and vertical competitive reality shows, such as hip-hop, hip-hop, and even talk shows that have gradually changed in flavor in the past two years, are better than it.
After all, singing and dancing are inherently entertaining.
boxing?
Not to mention its lack of fun, in fact, the sport itself has many unsatisfactory aspects.
Let’s talk about a statistic like this: the number of registered professional boxers nationwide is 142, of which there are only eight female professional boxers.
That's right, with a base of more than one billion, there are only so many active boxers.
The number of people who can even compete in international competitions can be counted on one hand.
Especially after the only domestic lightweight world boxing champion announced his retirement last year, it also announced the lack of the title of domestic world boxing champion.
To be precise, since last year, there has been no world-class boxing champion among the active boxers in the country.
Even the movement itself, from the top to the middle, seems extremely lacking and chaotic!
Therefore, Li Xiuyuan's "selection of talents" is no longer unpopular, but "unpopular."
The program was not well received, the genre was off-beat, and there were "auditions" required.
In the eyes of many people in the industry, most people think that Ding Zhi is playing tricks again and is afraid that he will be ruined.
To be honest, no one seemed surprised that Ding Zhi would do such a thing.
After all, this man has a wide range of interests, including screenwriting, directing, singing, fighting in the arena, playing the piano, etc. His interests are very wide.
Whenever he picks up the spatula, he tells everyone: Actually, I am still a cook.
Maybe not many people will be surprised anymore.
Just asking Li Xiuyuan to create a boxing variety show is actually within the understanding of most people. After all, what's wrong with a boxing champion in the entertainment industry wanting to hold a ring competition?
He is just a baby who was sentenced to 20 to 30 years in prison for one punch.
But correspondingly, for the guests of this show, don’t even think about inviting some relatively popular artists.
In addition, under the influence of Ding Zhi, the entire selection of guests has become extremely "strict".
Then the range of choices is greatly reduced.
For example, Yu Wenwen, who is relatively well-known to the public, can be recognized by many people just by looking at her face, and can be regarded as the "top star" of this show.
Most of the others who were notified by this show are third- and fourth-tier transparent people who are familiar with the entertainment industry, such as Li Yuan, Sun Rui, and Xiao Shunran.
The characteristic is that each has a certain fan base, but for the general public, they all fall into the state of face blindness of "Hey! Who is this handsome guy/beautiful girl?"
Anyway, all these factors are put together. Let’s put aside Ding Zhi’s big killer. This variety show is obviously full of “showing off”.
The only person who can praise and attract attention is probably Ding Zhi himself.
Just like online dramas are often rated within the platform, online variety shows will also be rated.
The program "Fist" received only an A rating.
You know, even though Ding Zhi, a popular top star, has been confirmed to join this show, it is still only A-level, which is enough to show that this variety show is not very promising.
...
...
Li Chuang is 28 years old this year.
A few years after graduating from college, I worked in first-tier cities for several years, and the money I saved was not enough for the down payment of a toilet.
My girlfriend whom I had been dating for several years sadly ended up parting ways because of house issues.
In addition, his parents were getting older and Li Chuang, who was not doing well in big cities, naturally "returned" to his hometown in a fourth- or fifth-tier small city.
Relying on my family connections, I managed to get a job that was a guaranteed job.
According to the current buzzword, that means lying flat.
Li Chuang, who worked nine to five, clocked out and entered retirement mode early, gradually adapted to this lazy and comfortable life.
What followed was that the already somewhat stout figure began to gain weight, and the swim ring on his belly became increasingly rounder.
If Li Chuang's classmates and friends in college were to see him like this, their jaws would definitely drop in shock.
Because Li Chuang was the president of the boxing club when he was in college. He even won first place in several amateur ring boxing matches, and was even interviewed by the local municipal TV station.
Even in several local university towns, he is a somewhat famous figure.
Who knew that in just a few years, it would become like this.
To be honest, Li Chuang didn't think about taking a stand, but to put it bluntly, inertia is like a bone-eroding poison that slowly penetrates people's will.
When he was busy in first-tier cities, he would make excuses for himself. He was so busy with work. When his work reached a higher level, he would intensify his exercise and lose weight.
Wait until you are completely free now to lose weight?
Aba Aba Aba Aba...
I have a leisurely job and have no thoughts of falling in love, so I have plenty of free time.
Watching dramas and variety shows after work has become a common thing.
After the ending of "Flower of Evil", this year's dramas are no longer particularly interesting.
As for variety shows, they follow the same pattern as they come and go. There are no surprises.
On this day, Li Chuang started fishing as early as three or four o'clock in the afternoon.
Suddenly a message crossed the screen of his mobile phone, and after finishing it, he flipped it back.
"Fist with all your strength? New variety show?"
With that said, Li Chuang smashed the name again.
"Generally, all programs with homophonic jokes have to be rushed to the market without exception. But..."
Li Chuang's eyes focused on another line of words - the first boxing reality show in China.
How does he feel at this time?
It's probably like the feeling that you've broken up with your ex-girlfriend for several years, and suddenly someone mentions something difficult about her in someone else's words, and you want to pretend not to care, but you can't help but prick up your ears.
