Chapter 117: Am I Bad? [Ask for a subscription! Ask for a monthly pass!]
It was afternoon.
Lu Ban received a call from Wang Hongtao asking him to come to Taiwan.
Lu Ban guessed that the plan had a result.
This efficiency is a bit fast, isn't it?
It stands to reason that such a plan must go through layers of review, after all, this is not an easy plan to pass in terms of funding or shooting difficulty.
Lu Ban frowned and thought all the way.
He came to Wang Hongtao's office, said hello to Wang Hongtao, and said, "Director Wang, do you have something to do with me?"
"Not really. ”
Wang Hongtao said with a smile: "There is good news, you held a meeting in the planning table to study it, and decided to give it a try." ”
Lu Ban didn't understand how to try it?
Wang Hongtao continued: "Taili plans to record it first and see the effect on the online platform first, and if it is appropriate, Satellite TV will launch a variety show in a similar form." ”
"You also know that the station wants to grasp the ratings again, and wants to be original, the contradiction is here, if the number of hits on the online platform is high, then move to satellite TV, which is equivalent to copying your own program, it is nothing more than a change of platform, or original, so that the station does not have to take the risk of ratings, but also try to make the program. ”
Lu Ban smiled.
He kind of understood.
To put it bluntly, it is good and clever, and I still want the old cow not to eat grass.
When I came here just now, I thought that this show shouldn't be so easy to pass, but I didn't expect it to pass in such a way.
The network platform mentioned by Wang Hongtao refers to the network platform in Mango TV.
In this way, it not only avoids the risk of poor program effect and declining ratings, but also can see whether the program has any prospects from the online platform.
No wonder Wang Hongtao said it was a try.
Isn't that just a try?
But it's finally settled, and the hard work of some time ago was not in vain.
Wang Hongtao smiled: "I can finally cooperate with you once, when we met for the first time, I wanted to dig you into our station, and now I got my wish." ”
"Why don't you say that you are a Buddha. ”
Lu Ban also laughed: "No matter how much my grandson monkey can jump, he can't escape from your Five Finger Mountain." ”
"Okay, don't shoot me on the back, go back and prepare, write the copywriting for the first issue in the next two days, and we will also prepare the candidates for the recording, and we will notify you when the time comes. Wang Hongtao said seriously.
"There's no rush in the copywriting business. ”
A smile flashed in Lu Ban's eyes, and he said, "I still have a plan here, are you interested in going down the stage?"
"What?"
Wang Hongtao was stunned.
And a plan?
Is planning so cheap now?
Lu Ban said calmly: "At present, there is only one idea, I haven't written the specific plan yet, and I'll hand it over to you when I write it out." ”
"Tell me what you think about first. Wang Hongtao said.
"Do comedy. ”
Lu Ban took a pen and paper, drew a rough outline, and said: "Set up a comedy award, invite comedians from all over the country to participate in this show, and show comedy to the audience on the stage, which not only tests the screenwriter's ability of the comedy team, but also tests the actor's on-the-spot performance level, on this stage, the comedian is the real protagonist." ”
Wang Hongtao was completely stunned.
It's actually quite simple.
It's so simple that many satellite TV have thought about it, and many satellite TV have done it.
But it's more about highlighting new comedians, while older comedians are judges, and never think of letting comedians compete for awards.
Because essentially, a lot of comedians have already made a name for themselves in their respective fields.
Let these veteran actors compete for an award.
I'm afraid it's going to be a bit difficult.
But if it works, it's definitely a great show.
However, there is a problem with many comedy shows, that is, they are not easy to be accepted by sponsors, and sponsors prefer to sponsor that kind of talent show.
Wang Hongtao saw the value of this show from Lu Ban's planning - to create a comedy platform for Chinese comedians.
This is much higher than the idea of "Star Detective".
"In fact, the same model can be replicated in many ways. ”
Lu Ban continued: "Not only comedians, but also singers, we don't do a draft, we let some singers who have been famous for a long time compete for the title of singer. ”
"......" Wang Hongtao was completely silent.
He didn't know how Lu Ban could have so many ideas in his head.
Because whether it is a comedian or a singer mentioned by Lu Ban, if it is put on any satellite TV platform, it will definitely be regarded as a trump card program.
"You can also do cross-border competitions, I think using these stars as the first choice for variety shows can drive much higher traffic effect than amateurs' drafts. ”
Wang Hongtao was completely conquered by Lu Ban.
I always thought that I was the Bole of the Lu class, but now I have found out that where I found Maxima, I obviously found a mentor for myself!
"Wait, I'll take the notes. ”
Wang Hongtao hurriedly picked up the notes and wrote them down, which idea is very important to him.
If it weren't for so many projects at once.
He couldn't wait to go through all the projects at once now.
In fact, all satellite TV channels are now facing a dilemma, that is, the weakness of the talent show, and the reason why the audience is willing to watch the talent show is for Yiyin.
Because the participants are ordinary people, they can become stars through the draft, and the audience will imagine that they can also.
So they're going to support every single player.
It's not easy to sympathize with the players.
But with the debut of more and more draft stars, many people found that these stars were not ordinary before their debut, some were sent by brokerage companies, and some were high-achieving students of the conservatory.
After a long time, it's no wonder that the talent show is cold.
But Lu Ban's words allowed him to break through the confinement of thinking, without using amateurs, directly using stars, PK between stars and stars, not only has traffic, but also satisfies the curiosity of the audience.
The audience also wants to know who these stars are more powerful.
suddenly
Wang Hongtao thought of one thing.
Isn't the planning case "Star Detective" that Lu Ban just submitted yesterday also the same principle?
Other words.
As long as "Star Detective" is successful, it proves that this series of variety shows can be operated, whether it is a comedian, a singer, or even a crossover, it will become the trump card variety show in the future of Mango Channel.
He suddenly felt that this time he invited Lu Ban.
That's right.
......
Lu Ban returned to the hotel and just received a call from Liu Xin.
Liu Xin asked, "How did you go to Mango Channel to talk?
When Lu Ban decided to do this program planning, Liu Xin was a little worried that Lu Ban would not be able to do well, after all, Lu Ban was doing program planning for the first time, and it was likely that the plan submitted would be killed.
"The show is over. Lu Ban said.
"It's okay, there will be a next time, after all, you are the first time to ......"
Liu Xin waited for Lu Ban to finish speaking, and hurriedly comforted him, but stopped halfway through the comfort, and said in surprise: "What did you just say, over?"
Lu Ban couldn't hold back a smile: "Yes, it's over, I've become the chief planner of this show." ”
Liu Xin was stunned for a moment and said, "Is Mango Station really taking any jobs now?"
Lu Ban: "......"
Isn't my life good?
He explained: "Wang Hongtao handed over the plan directly to Director Chen, they held a meeting to study it, and decided to test the water on Mango TV's online platform first, and if the effect is good after the broadcast, then transfer it to satellite TV." ”
Liu Xin still felt a little incredible.
After all, Lu Ban had never planned a variety show before, and the plan submitted for the first time was passed.
Liu Xin is a little curious now, what kind of plan did Lu Ban make for Mango Terrace?
Lu Ban didn't say, so she didn't ask.
The two chatted for a while, then hung up.
Liu Xin hung up the phone and was stunned for a while, when I first met Lu Ban before, Lu Ban was just a fourth- or fifth-tier artist, in just a few months, not only is he about to catch up with himself, but also faintly has a tendency to surpass, not only can act, but also write songs, and can make movies, and even variety show planning can be passed at one time.
"It seems that I have to work hard, otherwise I may have to follow in the footsteps of the landing class in the future. ”
Liu Xin sighed.
At this time, Lu Ban dialed Kong Xi's phone.
Because after the program was approved, Kong Xi needed to come over and negotiate the price with Mango Channel.
It's not for nothing.
There is always a fee.
Kong Xi answered the phone and asked, "Hey, boss, what are the instructions?" ”
Lu Ban said: "You come to Changsha tomorrow." ”
"What are you doing in Changsha?"
Kong Xi suddenly thought of something, and hurriedly said, "Could it be ......?"
"That's right, it's over. Lu Ban said indifferently.
"I ...... Go!"
Kong Xi was speechless, she originally thought that Lu Ban was going through the motions in the past, but later knew that Lu Ban had written a plan by himself, and she estimated that she would definitely be killed, but she didn't expect it to pass: "That means that we are now the planner of Mango Terrace?" I will go over early tomorrow morning, and I am ready for the contract, you don't need to ask about the money, I promise to talk steadily." ”
"That's pretty much it, we're not bad for these three melons and jujubes now. Lu Ban said with a smile.
Kong Xi rolled his eyes: "Look at your cow, when you were filming "Charlotte's Troubles", you forgot to be poor like that? I think we must make money, and when the company gets bigger, there will be more and more places to spend money, and we can't sit back and eat." ”
"Okay, you can do it. Lu Ban said helplessly.
"Then you send me the location. ”
Kong Xi hurriedly said: "I'll go to you as soon as I arrive in Changsha tomorrow, let's sum it up, I won't tell you, I have to settle the account first, hang up." ”
Without waiting for Lu Ban to speak, the phone hung up.
Lu Ban looked at his mobile phone, thinking in his heart that he was going to hire a full-time accountant, otherwise Kong Xi was a little busy with multiple hats.
The key is not to raise people's salaries.
He found Gu Qiao's number again and wanted to call it, but after glancing at the time, he estimated that Luo Yu might be by Gu Qiao's side.
After thinking about it, I finally only sent a message.
"The plan is over, I'll wait for you in Changsha. ”
How does it feel like the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl meeting on the bridge?
