Chapter 3 Choosing a Theme
Chen was also on the balcony, just finished smoking a cigarette, and another Xiao Zhou Xing called him.
said exactly the same thing as Xu Lang, and asked him if he had enough money, and if he didn't squeak if he didn't have enough, don't resist yourself.
After hanging up the phone, Chen Yi's passive skill "Heart Warms" was instantly activated.
Zhou Xing is not a rich second generation like Xu Lang, he has the same average family background, but he earns his own money and spends it by himself, and the pressure is not as great as his.
The three of them grew up together since childhood, and now they all happen to be engaged in entertainment-related work.
Zhou Xing is a student at Polytechnic University, he participated in a simulation contest when he was in college, achieved good results, and then entered the entertainment industry and became an announcement artist.
Chen Yi came to the desk, took out a pen and paper, and the carbon pen rotated on his thumb and forefinger, and began to think about the dilemma he was facing.
Now, salvaging ratings is the most important thing.
Once the program is off the air, he will be assigned to other program groups at that time, and the importance of the position will be reduced, and his salary will definitely be reduced a lot.
He was burdened with huge debts and needed money, and Chen couldn't accept such a thing.
In addition, it took him four years to finally become the deputy planner of "Variety Show".
If the show is suspended, he will go to other program groups to sit on the cold bench, and he doesn't know how long it will take to regain the opportunity and enter the main creative team.
He is only twenty-four years old, and he can become the deputy planner of "Variety Show", in addition to his own good ability, a big reason is because the producer Zhao Ya is the senior sister of Xu Lang Media University.
Xu Lang is quite good at being a person, especially good at dealing with women, Chen Yi met Zhao Ya under Xu Lang's guidance as soon as he entered Fanxing Entertainment, so when Zhao Ya formed a team, he could become the deputy planner.
Otherwise, in a company as big as Star Entertainment, there are more people with good abilities, why did Zhao Ya choose him alone.
The production company is highly competitive, and for a newcomer like him, the fault tolerance rate is extremely low, and without the support of the backstage, once he falls from the position of deputy planner, it is not so easy to enter the main creative team.
The widow sleeps, if there is no one above, the entertainment industry is so cruel, if you can't get out, no one will give you extra opportunities.
In addition to these two practical reasons, there are also some emotional factors, and Chen Yi can't stop the show.
First of all, Xu Lang is the assistant host of "Variety Show", although Xu Lang doesn't care much about the identity of the host, but there is just no way to change the result, how can he not care?
The show hosted by him was stopped because the ratings were too low, which is not a glorious thing for any host.
In addition, Zhao Ya recruited Chen Ye into the creative team, which can be regarded as a kindness to him.
On weekdays, although Zhao Ya is a strong woman and is strict at work, she also takes care of Chen Yi in many aspects such as salary.
With this favor, he can't stop the show.
……
"It's not difficult for me to accept the entertainment knowledge of another time and space, and to bring the show back to life. ”
Chen Yi touched his chin and thought to himself, "So, which classic theme of a talk show should be chosen as a breakthrough?"
While thinking, Chen Yi moved his wrist and wrote four words on the paper with a brush - Kangxi is here.
When thinking of talk shows, Chen Yi's first thought was "Kangxi is Coming".
This show has been broadcast for 12 years in another time and space, accompanying the youth of many people, and the ratings have always been high.
The two hosts also relied on this show to become popular first-line hosts.
Immediately afterwards, Chen Yi wrote popular variety shows such as "Variety Show Hits", "Little Star Big Follower", "Guoguang Help" and so on.
The reason why I chose the programs of that time and space treasure island is because the form of these talk shows is closest to their world, and they are more entertaining.
In the show, there are gags, jokes, jokes, jokes from seniors, and a few colored jokes that don't hurt.
The audience in this world has long been accustomed to this kind of program atmosphere, and it is more entertaining.
Immediately afterwards, Chen Yi wrote another sentence on the paper, "We must fully consider the different historical, cultural and social environments of the two worlds."
After this sentence, he added three "!" signs.
Under the influence of different histories and cultures, the aesthetic orientation of the audience will inevitably be different, which is particularly important, and it is not possible to blindly copy the works of another world.
The real world is similar to many places in Chen Yimeng's world, but there are also differences.
For example, the real world in which he lives, the historical process of China, since the Ming Dynasty, has been at a different fork in the world of his dreams.
In this world, in the last years of the Ming Dynasty, there was no Manchu entry, but a peasant uprising ended the rule of the Ming Dynasty and established the Shun Dynasty.
Fortunately, the same descendants of Yan and Huang, the cultural customs and aesthetic trends of this world are generally not much different from the world in their dreams, and many works can play a role in reference.
……
Retracting his thoughts, Chen also began to recall the classic unit themes of those famous talk variety shows.
However, he is not completely limited to those talk variety shows.
This world is only in 2012, but his memories of him in that world last until 2020.
At that time, the Internet exploded, and many young people also started self-media and shot short films.
Some of the subjects they photographed were also interesting, otherwise they wouldn't have been popular with so many young people.
You must know that young people at that time had watched too many variety shows, and some of their ideas had long been aesthetically fatigued, and it was not easy to make them laugh.
In the end, Chen Yi deliberated again and again and finally chose the theme he wanted.
With the tip of the pen swiped across the blank paper, Chen also began to write a specific planning plan, gradually improving from the selection of themes, audience analysis, thinking about social hotspots, consideration of program budgets, and recording plans.
……
It was busy until half past ten in the evening, and everything was finally done.
Chen Yi cleaned up the desktop, put the plan into the file bag, and then stretched his waist and stretched his stiff body.
After a simple activity, he took out his mobile phone and looked through the circle of friends.
Subsequently, he was shocked to find that several colleagues had posted on Moments, and they did not say it explicitly, but their words revealed their anxiety about the future.
"It looks like a lot of people are going to lose sleep tonight. ”
He was perfectly empathetic to the feelings of his colleagues.
At this time, he found that Zhao Ya also posted on Moments:
"Just smoked on the balcony, I smoked half and the wind smoked half.
I didn't bother with it, so I guess it had troubles too. ”
It seems that Zhao Ya is also in a bad mood and can't sleep.
Also, Zhao Ya, as a producer, will have the greatest impact on her if the show is stopped.
Zhao Ya is producing a show for the first time, and the production company is not allowed to fail, but it has to be a highly qualified producer, and the tolerance for newcomers has always been very low.
Zhao Ya became the producer of a ribbon program broadcast on a big TV station at the age of 30, and she had a bright future, but once the program failed, it would be a devastating blow to her career.
However, it is also an expression of frustration, and Zhao Yafa's circle of friends is much more literary and artistic than other colleagues.
But Chen is not surprised.
Zhao Ya looks like a shrewd and capable strong woman in the company, but she is not like that in private, from time to time she will post things to make desserts, read, and take pictures.
Because of Xu Lang's introduction, Chen Yi met Zhao Ya as soon as he entered the company, in addition to the working relationship, he and Zhao Ya also have a certain personal relationship, and they know her a little.
Zhao Ya has two WeChat accounts, one for work and one for private, and this is her private WeChat account.
On the WeChat account she uses for work, she will not post such hypocritical things, in the company, Zhao Ya always gives people a feeling of being stubborn and invulnerable.
When Chen Yi saw this, he first gave Zhao Ya's circle of friends a thumbs up, and then ridiculed it in the comments:
"Just smoked on the balcony, I smoked half and the wind smoked half.
I didn't bother with it, so I guess it had troubles too.
When I returned to the room, the more I thought about it, the more angry I became, and the more I thought about it, the more angry I became.
The wind smoked my cigarette, and I, the wind, smoked the wind. ”
