Chapter 5 Higashiyamadai

With Chen Changshan's instructions, Zuo Le's participation in the "New Power" plan was very fast.

On Friday, "New Power" announced a list of some candidates on the official account of Dongshantai Feixin, and Zuo Le was impressively listed.

Not long after, Fang Weimin also officially announced the establishment of "Underground Traffic Station" in the TV Production Center, he himself served as the producer and producer, Chen Beibai was the producer, and Zuo Le naturally became the director and screenwriter.

The three giants of the crew of "Underground Transportation Station" have just become ............

Well, it is said that it is the Big Three, but in fact, only Chen Fatzi and Zuo Le are in charge, and the old party has other things on his hands, and the producers and producers are mainly named.

But even so, Fang Weimin himself still attaches great importance to the drama "Underground Traffic Station", and after the project was established, he quickly convened Chen and Zuo for a meeting.

......

Date: Tuesday, June 11, 2015

Location: Office of the Director of the Television Production Center

Participants: Fang Weimin, Chen Beibai, Zuo Le

The content of the meeting: the preliminary preparation of the crew, and the casting of actors

"Ahem........."

Fang Weimin looked at the big-eyed Chen Fatzi and Zuo Le, coughed lightly, and was the first to speak.

"Have the funds arrived? ”

Chen Fatzi, who was in charge of finance, immediately replied without thinking: "The finance department has approved a total of 6 million funds, and the first batch of 2 million has arrived. ”

Fang Weimin nodded and looked at Zuo Le: "Have you found all the people in the crew, and how long will it take for all of them to be in place?"

"Almost. ”

Zuo Le smiled: "Most of them are people from our center, they have said hello before, the makeup is Sister Yu, the props are Lao Wan, the photography is Jiang Dapeng, the lighting and recording are also veterans, and it is estimated that you can set up a group in half a week." ”

"You kid is quite quick to move, and you got the crew up so quickly. Fang Weimin was a little surprised.

Zuo Le pursed his lips and smiled, his face was loyal, but he was emotional.

He has been in the center for three years, no matter where he is, he is very familiar with his connections, and with the help of Chen Fatzi, a delicate old oilman, it is really not a problem to form a small crew in a short time.

"Come on. ”

The old man asked a few more questions, and when he saw that Zuo Le and the two answered each other fluently, he knew that the two brothers had already prepared, so they simply didn't care, and clapped their palms.

"Since you have almost prepared in the early stage, I also have peace of mind, it just so happens that Lao Chu's "Kind Little Grass" has been filming for a while, and I haven't had time to see it yet.

Our center's output has hit a new low this year, and now I can point to the two of you to fight for me. ”

Hearing Fang Weimin's words, as if a switch had been turned on, the atmosphere in the office dropped instantly, Zuo Le and the two glanced at each other, and Chen Fatzi took the initiative to ask with courage.

"Director, the station really wants to cut the self-made drama. ”

"They think it's beautiful. ”

Fang Weimin smiled disdainfully, looked at Zuo Le's two subordinates who he had single-handedly, and did not hide them, and said bluntly.

"If the self-made drama in the station is cut, half of the people in our center will have no food, and the director will not dare to ignore such a big thing.

You can relax, just film with your heart, when the sky falls, I will still block it, I can't stop Mo Tai, and the director, they will not let the TV production center disappear.

Hmph, those people don't want to think about it, our station has been filming self-made dramas since the 70s, and I want to dare to wrestle with CCTV at the peak, although I am lonely now, but it is not that I can cut it. ”

"Director, you're so tough. ”

Looking at the domineering Fang Weimin, Zuo Le and the others admired each other, and Chen Fatzi gave Fang Weimin a thumbs up angrily, as if he was praising Fang Weimin's character.........

"Fuck off. ”

Looking at the fat man Chen who was squeezing his eyebrows, Fang Weimin laughed and scolded, kicked the other party falsely, and then kicked the fat man Chen and Zuo Le out.

Zuo Le and the others came out of Fang Weimin's office with a smile, returned to Chen Fatzi's territory, closed the door, and his face sank directly.

"The old man is having a hard time. ”

Fat Chen took out a cigarette from his arms, put it in his mouth, but did not light the fire, pouted with his empty mouth, smacked the fragrance of nicotine, and sighed a little.

Zuo Le nodded on the side, his expression was far less relaxed than what he showed in front of Fang Weimin just now.

No one is a fool, especially the backbone of TV stations like Zuo Le and Chen Fatzi, who have some connections and channels, are well-informed, and they can naturally hear some rumors.

Since the beginning of last year, when Director Chen Changshan took office, Dongshan Taiwan has set off large-scale reform and innovation.

Chen Changshan, a general of the provincial propaganda department who is known for his vigorous and resolute actions, took off the shelves of all the most criticized medical and technical school advertisements on Dongshan TV as soon as he took office as the director of Dongshan TV Station.

From Dongshan Satellite TV to various channels in the province, the advertising atmosphere of the entire Dongshan TV station is clear.

There are no more excavators, beauty salons, infertility and all kinds of men's diseases that countless Dongshan people are ashamed of.........

After removing these advertisements, Chen Changshan tried his best to remove the Tuhi variety show "You Are a Big Star", which had been broadcast in the province for more than ten years.

and ordered the variety show department to innovate and reform, prepare a series of new variety shows, and strive to keep up with the top satellite TV satellite TV in the star variety shows.

This decision, although the UP master of the ghost animal area of the currency station lacked a large material base, it made countless Dongshan disciples praise each other, and the largest and most determined "black fans" of Dongshan Tai shouted in unison.

It's dawn!

......

However......... It is difficult to treat old diseases.

Although under Chen Changshan's drastic moves, Dongshantai has changed all kinds of problems for many years and made great strides to carry out self-reform, but reform is by no means something that can be completed overnight.

The removal of the medical technical school advertisement and "You Are a Big Star" has slightly improved the reputation of Dongshan Terrace, but the key ratings have not worked.

On the contrary, because the "ace show" "You Are a Big Star" was taken off the shelves, some die-hard fans of the show switched to the enemy station, and the already small audience group of Dongshan Station suffered a heavy blow.

In this context, Deputy Director Wu Mao proposed to purchase popular TV series with a large amount of money to attract audiences, which was recognized by Director Chen Changshan.

Although the advertising revenue of the entire Oriental TV has plummeted because of the removal of a large number of medical advertisements, the financial resources of the station itself should not be underestimated, backed by Dongshan, a large economic province.

I don't dare to compare with first-line satellite TV such as Xiangnan, Modu, Sujiang, Jiangsu and Zhejiang, but compared with ordinary second-tier provincial stations, Dongshan is definitely a big dog in the first sequence.

As a result, Dongshan TV invested a lot of money and purchased the premiere rights of several popular dramas one after another, and the ratings were good and bad, but after all, they did not lose money, and the ratings of Dongshan Satellite TV began to rise as a whole.

It should have been a good thing to get here, but because of the remarkable effect of the purchased drama, someone in the station proposed it.

Since the purchased drama is better than the self-made drama in the stage, why do you continue to keep the chicken rib of the self-made drama?

If you cut the project of self-made dramas, all the TV dramas in the back office will be purchased, saving time and effort, and you can also free up manpower to invest in other work projects.

One stone startles a thousand waves!

As soon as this statement came out, Dongshantai directly blew up, not to mention the stakeholders such as Fang Weimin, even other departments also have countless objections.

The self-made drama of Dongshan TV Production Center is not a local variety show like "Big Star", which is criticized every day, it has a glorious history, and in the eighties and nineties, the TV series produced by Dongshan TV Production Center won major TV drama awards across the country, and there are countless popular actors and stars.

It can be said that the self-made drama of the TV production center is one of the few achievements of Higashiyama TV.

"Cut it down, this fucking forgetfulness!"

The above sentence is the mother of Deputy Director Mo Dashan who slapped the table and scolded at the Taiwan leadership meeting, and it is also the voice of all the people in the station who oppose cutting off the self-made drama.

......

But no matter how loud the opposition led by Mo Dashan shouts, Dongshantai's self-made drama does have some problems that are difficult to return.

The quality is mediocre, the subject matter is old-fashioned, obsessed with local themes and main themes, and can't grasp the pulse of the younger generation............

From a long-term perspective, outsourced dramas are indeed more suitable for Dongshantai than self-made dramas.

Feelings, of course, are touching, but they can't be eaten!

As a result, under the general trend, although Mo Dashan and others oppose it, and even Chen Changshan hopes to continue to retain the characteristics of Dongshan Taiwan, the voice of cutting off the self-made drama and fully purchasing it is still in the station, and it is even intensifying.

Fang Weimin is shouting loudly, but in fact, he is also weak in his heart, and recently he has been drilling into the office of Deputy Director Mo Dashan from time to time, and now he has promoted Zuo Le, a newcomer, and rarely went to the crew to investigate in person.

It can be seen that the pressure on its back is not as light as it seems.

......

In the same way, the ass determines the head.

Zuo Le and Chen Fatzi are the descendants of the production center, no matter what they think in their hearts, on the surface, they must support the station to continue filming self-made dramas.

Even, the unborn "Underground Transportation Station" will automatically be classified into the ranks of Dongshantai's self-made dramas.

"Alas, I just want to make a good TV series, why is there so much. ”

As soon as Zuo Le remembered the rights and wrongs in the stage, his head began to ache faintly.

"Okay, people are in the rivers and lakes, and they can't help themselves, brother, we can't take care of these things above, just like the old man said, let's just take care of filming. ”

Fat Chen spit out the cigarette on his mouth, rubbed his fat face, and persuaded Zuo Le.

"Hmm. ”

Zuo Le nodded, cheered up, and said to Chen Fatzi: "Now the venue and crew are almost the same, the most important thing left is the casting of actors, I have a few candidates at this beginning, you can see if there are any problems."

In addition, there are a few roles that I don't have in my hands that meet the requirements, you have a lot of connections, see if you can find a suitable one. ”

As he spoke, Zuo Le took out his mobile phone, pulled up the photo album, and handed it to Chen Fatzi: "This is the character image picture I drew, you can take a look." ”

Fat Chen took the phone, swiped left and right a few times, his eyes lit up, and his mouth was amazed.

"Tsk, these images are really enough...... It's distinct, I'll have to think about it. ”
