"Thorny Rose" He Guangzhi.

"Talk show vase" Xu Zhisheng.

Yang Bo, who "became the Sea King for four years"...

In the fourth season of "Talk Show Conference", the audience has seen more styles of talk show actors, and more and more young people have become talk show actors.

"Laughing Fruit" 7 years valuation of 3 billion, "silly boy" Li Shi how to become the king of Chinese talk shows?

Looking back at the budding stand-up comedy, Wang Zijian was still the talk show actor who laughed and scolded on the stage.

Li Shi is still a left-handed literature and a right-handed alcoholic angry youth.

Wang Jianguo is also a fat country boy who likes to eat, sleep, and beat "eggs".

Chi Zi, known as the "talk show genius," has just entered the industry.

In less than a few years, "Spit Conference" and "Talk Show Conference" have come to the fourth season, the 7-year-old laughing fruit culture, and the completion of the B round of financing in 2019, with a valuation of 3 billion yuan, leading the industry.

"Laughing Fruit" 7 years valuation of 3 billion, "silly boy" Li Shi how to become the king of Chinese talk shows?

This group of people who initially just held the "play" talk show mistakenly created the glory of China's talk show industry.

How did they rise so quickly?

Now, what is the fate of each other?

The blockbuster is coming

In 2012, Zhou Libo fell out with Oriental Satellite TV and turned around and signed to Zhejiang Satellite TV at a sky-high price.

Provocative words: Zhejiang Satellite TV has engaged in such a big battle for such a small minion as me, look at you.

It is said that the top management of Oriental Satellite TV is angry to stomp his feet, and director Ye Feng is in danger and is ordered to engage! burst! fund!

Remember this man named Ye Feng.

In the future, he will be on Chinese television talk shows, just as S.H.I.E.L.D. Director Nick Fury is to the Avengers.

"Laughing Fruit" 7 years valuation of 3 billion, "silly boy" Li Shi how to become the king of Chinese talk shows?

At that time, Ye Feng went around and looked for many people, but they were not ideal.

Accidentally saw a cross-talk Crooked Taiping Lyrics, in which the face of the 囧 face, the fat man made him laugh for an hour, almost back to the gas.

Look at the name, Wang Zijian.

"Laughing Fruit" 7 years valuation of 3 billion, "silly boy" Li Shi how to become the king of Chinese talk shows?

Because his parents were busy, "Tony Wang Zijian Stark" relied on himself since he was a child, and he was "thrown" to the Youth Art Troupe to learn cross-talk very early.

In adolescence, he was incompatible with school.

Junior high school, because of fighting, can only go to second-rate high school.

Books are not easy to read, four-wheel drive, game guides, play thieves slip.

Sophomore year of high school, and school gambling, dropped out.

Finally, under the care of the street office, he took the college entrance examination as a social candidate.

After memorizing a bunch of liberal arts materials, he was actually admitted to a famous school in Beijing.

But after enrolling for a year, he dropped out again.

After entering the society, he worked as a TV station director for several years, and then ran to do advertising, and it is said that they are mixed very well and make a lot of money.

In 2009, feeling that making money was not addictive, he resigned to pay homage to Hou Yaohua and established his own cross-talk group "Beijing Second Class Cross-talk Conference".

"Laughing Fruit" 7 years valuation of 3 billion, "silly boy" Li Shi how to become the king of Chinese talk shows?

He wrote about current affairs and life into paragraphs, and the performance was once so popular that it needed to book tickets half a month in advance.

People give nicknames "Little Prince".

Later, Ye Feng "smelled the sound" to find Wang Zijian, a paper contract, signed this witty and spicy man, and kicked open the door of the future talk show reunion.

On May 13, 2012, Wang Zijian, who wore a straight suit and held a hand card, officially debuted with "Tonight's Post-80s Talk Show":

"May you have a good night, it is good to have you this night."

"Laughing Fruit" 7 years valuation of 3 billion, "silly boy" Li Shi how to become the king of Chinese talk shows?

The show has just started four episodes, and the ratings have risen to the second place in the country.

Viewers poured into Weibo to express their liking for him.

At that time, Wang Zijian dreamed of becoming a person like David Letterman, an American talk show host, only doing talk shows, away from the business world full of advertisements and endorsements.

The leader of the TV station was overjoyed, felt a bad breath, and sold the naming rights of the second season in a hurry.

"Laughing Fruit" 7 years valuation of 3 billion, "silly boy" Li Shi how to become the king of Chinese talk shows?

Wang Zijian was busy every day to "vomit blood", often in the early morning still planing paragraphs.

Although the leader cares about his body, he cares more about the ratings:

Xiao Wang, you see, can we change this show to a weekly double broadcast?

"Laughing Fruit" 7 years valuation of 3 billion, "silly boy" Li Shi how to become the king of Chinese talk shows?

Wang Zijian is really "liver" not moving, the program team looked at this posture, quickly shake people!

Among the reserve troops that were widely cast in the net were Li Shi and Wang Jianguo.

Sheniu & Social Fear, Talk Show "Us Team and Bucky"

When Wang Zijian became popular in Beijing.

Li Tian, who is far away from Guangzhou, is still dreaming of literature.

Drinking, sleeping, and writing poetry are the three major hobbies of college student Li Shi, and his personality is very "angry".

When asked why he wrote poetry, he asked, "Shouldn't you be a poet before you are 25 years old?" "

"Laughing Fruit" 7 years valuation of 3 billion, "silly boy" Li Shi how to become the king of Chinese talk shows?

In his sophomore year, he began to serialize Buddhist passages on the rice and form a collection of "Pulling Sutras".

Netizens posted it to Douban, attracting millions of views.

Some people call him a satin, an Internet celebrity, and he is anxious to talk to people, saying that these titles are simply insulting to himself.

There is a bookseller who wants to publish "Ripping the Scriptures", and he feels that what he writes is garbage, and he does not do anything to give money, and he is humiliated.

In college, Li Went to the Newspaper Office of the Southern Department for internship, took the elevator and heard two reporters discussing how to get spring train tickets through internal relations.

At that moment, Li Tian's young soul was severely damaged, the three views collapsed, and the journalist, who once represented the profession of "blood and ideals", stepped down from the altar in his heart.

"Laughing Fruit" 7 years valuation of 3 billion, "silly boy" Li Shi how to become the king of Chinese talk shows?

The end of life is all about resignation.

After his ideals were disillusioned, Li Chose to Compromise with Reality, turned around and left beijing to join an advertising agency.

Jiang Fangzhou, a good friend, commented on Li Tian at that time: "There is still a very simple sense of justice. ”

At the same time, Wang Jianguo also wrote paragraphs on the meal.

"Laughing Fruit" 7 years valuation of 3 billion, "silly boy" Li Shi how to become the king of Chinese talk shows?

It is said that Wang Jianguo's real name is "Kang Hong".

Wang Jianguo's "more normal" name... is his stage name.

When the secret was revealed, many netizens said "I am not Sister Li", taiping is unremarkable, how many Wang Jianguo must there be in the country?

But Wang Jianguo liked this name that was so obscure and even a little rustic.

"It sounds like the name of an old man, whose life is not hurried and has its own rhythm."

"Laughing Fruit" 7 years valuation of 3 billion, "silly boy" Li Shi how to become the king of Chinese talk shows?

In fact, he once had a more "fresh and unworldly" pen name - maggots.

Under this pseudonym, he also wrote a novel that did not make money.

At its worst, I was once reduced to grabbing a meatloaf in the middle of a hamburger with the rats in the rental house.

But he still thinks it was the best time: "Writing a novel is really the best day." ”

"Laughing Fruit" 7 years valuation of 3 billion, "silly boy" Li Shi how to become the king of Chinese talk shows?

How did Wang Jianguo know Li Shi?

The same Duan Zi hand in Guangzhou begging for food, the two intersected on the Internet.

Li Shi is a "social cow", much like the US team of the reunion, and can mingle with anyone.

So he warmly invited Wang Jianguo to appear.

But "social fear" Wang Jianguo was like the shy Bucky, And Li made an appointment three times before he "went out of the mountain" and ate a meal of shabu beef.

Wang Jianguo later recalled: Although he ate meat that had been missing for a long time, he still thought while eating, don't look for me again.

Fortunately, Li Shi was familiar with each other, and the two talked together as soon as they came and went, and became good friends.

"Laughing Fruit" 7 years valuation of 3 billion, "silly boy" Li Shi how to become the king of Chinese talk shows?

And the aforementioned "Tonight's Post-80s Talk Show", at this time, is casting a national net to find a screenwriter.

The "bureau chief" Ye Feng was entrusted by Wang Zijian to find Wang Jianguo first.

Opened a condition that he could not refuse at the time:

A paragraph of dozens of hundreds of words, 800 yuan, dry or not?

dry!

Subsequently, Wang Jianguo pulled Li Shi into the company.

Li Shi was a little hesitant, but he heard that the reward was rich, and he also took it.

As a result, Wang Jianguo and Li Zhi, a pair of netizens, and Wang Zijian officially met in Shanghai Victory, which is the first three giants of Chinese television talk shows.

Although there are always a few days a month, they are repeatedly jumping on the verge of collapse because of their suffocation.

"Laughing Fruit" 7 years valuation of 3 billion, "silly boy" Li Shi how to become the king of Chinese talk shows?

Fortunately, the ratings are gratifying.

At the beginning, Wang Jianguo was more popular, and even had his own small theater "Guo Tsai Bouncing Back and Forth".

"Laughing Fruit" 7 years valuation of 3 billion, "silly boy" Li Shi how to become the king of Chinese talk shows?

They had known each other for many years, and the two had only quarreled once, because of literature.

Wang Jianguo said that his ideal is to become a novelist. Li Yan retorted that there must be attainments to use "home".

Wang Jianguo insisted that he was a novelist. Li Tian's move "anti-killing": What are you writing now, and why do you say that you are a novelist? Hearing this, Wang Jianguo felt hurt twice.

But at that time, neither of them expected:

The road ahead will become more and more dreamy and out of control from their original intentions.

"Laughing Fruit" 7 years valuation of 3 billion, "silly boy" Li Shi how to become the king of Chinese talk shows?

Disintegration, little spiders joining, civil war

Beginning in 2015, "Tonight" ratings began to decline, and the broadcast time was also uncertain.

At the end of 2017, the last episode of "Tonight" was broadcast and it was suspended.

The first Big Three collapsed.

"Laughing Fruit" 7 years valuation of 3 billion, "silly boy" Li Shi how to become the king of Chinese talk shows?

Fortunately, at the end of the road, "tonight", the biggest gain was to discover a talented player - the pool.

Chi Zi is very similar to Spider-Man, a young man with a bad word, and a sharp moment.

"Laughing Fruit" 7 years valuation of 3 billion, "silly boy" Li Shi how to become the king of Chinese talk shows?

Like the Egg Country Brothers, Chi Zi is also a person who can't read well.

In the third year of high school, I ran to the art exam, did not get admitted to The North Film, and simply did not go to college.

Ben wanted to be a DJ, but was "cut off" by the American talk show in the middle of the road, feeling that a person, a wheat, crackled on the platform, won laughter and applause, cool, advanced.

Li Shi found a four-seat pool in an offline talk show and immediately invited him to perform "Tonight".

"Laughing Fruit" 7 years valuation of 3 billion, "silly boy" Li Shi how to become the king of Chinese talk shows?

But what really pushed these three people to the climax was the later "laughing fruit culture" - the "Avengers" in the Chinese talk show industry.

"Bureau Chief" Ye Feng and He Xiaoxi began to prepare for the Laughing Fruit Culture very early.

At first, they wanted to pull Wang Zijian into the company, and the "little prince" told me bluntly that I had been depressed for a long time.

Later, the first generation of a brother transformed into a TV series, and for personal reasons, he never said a talk show again, and since then the rivers and lakes have evaporated and disappeared.

"Laughing Fruit" 7 years valuation of 3 billion, "silly boy" Li Shi how to become the king of Chinese talk shows?

So Li Shi officially ascended to the position of "captain".

It has become the shareholder and KPI guarantee of "Laughing Fruit".

Always be the first to deliver and the highest degree of completion, do your best to prepare for business negotiations, on various variety shows...

In his spare time, he drank and socialized everywhere, received awards, stood on the platform, shot MVs, filmed advertisements...

Many people who come to do talk shows feel that they are cattle X, and his duty is to eliminate such pretentiousness.

At the age of 29, Li Shi was already worth more than 100 million.

Turning to pragmatism, his values became: "Be water, all right, all right, all right." "

Even in the "Thirteen Invitations", Xu Zhiyuan was persuaded: "It is even more difficult to compete with the world."

"Laughing Fruit" 7 years valuation of 3 billion, "silly boy" Li Shi how to become the king of Chinese talk shows?

When Li Shi went along with the trend and ran with the social rules, at the other end, the "genius brother" Pool zi, who was personally discovered and promoted by himself, seemed to gradually derail.

The "civil war" of Laughter is about to break out:

When xiaoguo culture was first started, Chi Zi performed best on the spot, and after performing a hundred times, he and Li Shi were determined by Xiaoguo as the most suitable candidates for talk shows.

Finally, in the first season of "Spit Conference", Chi Zi "did not live up to the trust" and became red.

But Chi Zi is also very similar to the former Li Shi.

Don't play cards according to the routine, don't pay much attention to human feelings, and want to be yourself.

After becoming popular, he was not as sophisticated and sensible as Li.

Speaking on social platforms is still cynical, and in the show, he always asks why this is not allowed and that is not allowed.

"Laughing Fruit" 7 years valuation of 3 billion, "silly boy" Li Shi how to become the king of Chinese talk shows?

He refused to even accept advertisements that came to his door.

Each time, Li Tian could only open the mobile phone and then hand it to him: "Just so much money, can you shoot it?" He slowly began to pick up a little.

"Laughing Fruit" 7 years valuation of 3 billion, "silly boy" Li Shi how to become the king of Chinese talk shows?

At one point, "Bureau Chief" Ye Feng slashed his scalp: this is a Sun Monkey who has not yet been "domesticated".

Finally, the release of the pool and the company's operational development have an irreconcilable contradiction.

In January 2020, he was officially kicked out of the group chat and subsequently terminated his contract with Xiaoguo Culture.

"Laughing Fruit" 7 years valuation of 3 billion, "silly boy" Li Shi how to become the king of Chinese talk shows?

Later, Chi Zi sent a microblog to criticize the company's chaos, the leader was very shrewd, using the so-called comedy dream to lead everyone away, leading everyone to dream big dreams every day.

"Laughing Fruit" 7 years valuation of 3 billion, "silly boy" Li Shi how to become the king of Chinese talk shows?

Li Shi realism, chi zi idealism.

And with their friends along the way, Wang Jianguo is twisted in the two forces of "insisting on self" and "yielding to reality".

Although this fat man who likes to harmonize terriers will listen to the company's work arrangements, he is still sharp.

Once, Li Shi wanted to take him with him to meet investor Wang Sicong.

As a result, wang Jianguo could not lift his strength that day, and said that he would not go if he did not go.

Of course, Wang Jianguo has not encountered a red outlet period.

"Talk Show Conference 3" and Li Xueqin's "Snow Country Train CP" became popular, and some advertisers wanted to invite two people to attend the event.

"Laughing Fruit" 7 years valuation of 3 billion, "silly boy" Li Shi how to become the king of Chinese talk shows?

Wang Jianguo is not happy, even if it is a joke on the show, offline also bundled marketing to make money, NO!

Wang Jianguo's life dream does not exceed 200,000.

The same question was asked to Li Xiang, who replied "several hundred million."

At the "SpitTing Conference", Wang Jianguo borrowed a passage to say how others felt comparing themselves with Li Tian:

"It's exactly like Zhang Shaogang saw Sabine."

"The Life of the Rejected Pine Nuts" says: Dreams are free, but there are only a handful of dreams to live a happy life.

Someone once commented that Li Shi, Wang Jianguo and Chi Zi are like a passage that once circulated in the circle of friends:

"After the 80s, where there is more money, go where you go; after 95, you resign when you are not happy."

Li Shi seems very decadent, but he knows how to conform to the times, abide by the rules of the game, and play handily.

"Laughing Fruit" 7 years valuation of 3 billion, "silly boy" Li Shi how to become the king of Chinese talk shows?

Wang Jianguo, who wants to be the "world's tomb keeper", is more willing to write a manuscript offstage than as a performer in front of the stage.

"Laughing Fruit" 7 years valuation of 3 billion, "silly boy" Li Shi how to become the king of Chinese talk shows?

The problem of the pool is the problem that most ordinary people also face: at some stage of life, I began to wonder whether to stick to myself or bow to life.

"Laughing Fruit" 7 years valuation of 3 billion, "silly boy" Li Shi how to become the king of Chinese talk shows?

No dreams, the walking dead.

As soon as there is a dream, the hungry is ruddered.

Li Shi once said that he listened to Wang Sicong sing "New Mandarin Duck Butterfly Dream" on KTV, and heard a sadness:

"They are all so rich, but there is still a sadness that cannot be shaken off?"

He may have understood that "lose the ideal, the gold is two."

But money can buy happiness.

It's not really happiness.
