Chapter 766: The Emergence of Competitors (4/4, for Du Mochen's Ten Thousand Rewards)
On June 3, Star Shine Productions held a press conference.
In the flash of reporters, the red-faced Luo Jinting introduced their new reality show called "Travel Challenge":
"The theme of our show is travel, but what is more interesting than travel is the difficulties set up by the program team for the guests in the process, they need to challenge themselves and break one difficulty after another......
Xingyao Production teamed up with Shonan TV to produce this show, and the fixed members invited to the lineup are very luxurious, three men and three women, including first-line singers like Ye Qing and Li Manman, idol singers like Cao Congcong, and two beauties from a popular girl group joined!
Don't underestimate the influence of idol stars, there are six of them, not to mention that the number of fans is not inferior to the six people in the extreme challenge, just in terms of appearance, it is also a complete extreme challenge!
It can be said that although the six of them did not come to the press conference, they saw the appearance of the six people on the promotional poster of the show, which was enough to make the audience look forward to it!
Of course, since the name "Challenge" has been applied, it will inevitably be pulled out by reporters to compare it with "Extreme Challenge".
"What is the difference between us and a certain program?" Luo Jinting said with a smile, "Of course there is, there are many differences, we are completely different programs from them! If they are the same, then aren't we plagiarizing and infringing?"
It's like now that our members are recording their first episode in France, in a country where they don't speak the language, and they also have to face all kinds of difficulties from the program team, such as we will limit their travel expenses, set them tasks that can earn travel funds, etc., and if they want to make this trip more exciting, they need to face these challenges. It's going to be very exciting, it's going to be very interesting!" Luo Jinting said eloquently.
Sounds pretty good, Luo Jinting will of course describe his program to the sky, but the real effect will not be clear until the show is broadcast.
But there's no doubt that Extreme Challenge is about to meet a formidable enemy!
Moreover, this strong enemy is not as unsightly as other programs that follow the trend and imitate, Xingyao Productions is very careful to make this show, and it has also received the full support of Shonan TV, the overlord of variety shows, and its strength should not be underestimated!
Of course, it's too early to say that.
Because Xingyao Productions doesn't know if it's intentional, they set the premiere of "Travel Challenge" in September, which is enough to be wrong with the first season of "Extreme Challenge", the first season of "Extreme Challenge" ended in mid-August according to the plan, and it seems that they don't have much competition.
But the two variety shows are still somewhat similar, which is bound to cause a struggle of public opinion and a battle for the audience's reputation.
……
Having said that, although the last episode of the first season of "Extreme Challenge" ended in mid-August, the recording of this episode of the show has already started early.
Because several big names have busy schedules, like Xie Yuchen, he successfully passed Wu Yi'an's audition and will play the role of Andy in the big-budget movie "The Shawshank Redemption"!
Wu Yi'an's film did not make a lot of hype, and there was no press conference to start filming, of course, it is only the stage of determining the actors, and he is still waiting for the prison to be repaired before filming officially starts.
The prison where the movie was filmed is on the outskirts of a city in Anqing Province, and Wu Yi'an's crew rented an old prison that was eliminated before the arrival of the new century.
This movie, which has big directors and big stars, naturally attracted the attention of many film companies. In the process of negotiation between Wu Yi'an and Yang Yi, this investment and sharing model was the focus of the two sides grinding for several days.
Of course, Yang Yi relented, and he later agreed to Wu Yi'an's investment in other countries, while Yang Yi's Hua Yi brothers only symbolically invested one million funds, plus copyrights, and he took a 10% share of the profits.
During the final negotiation, Wu Yi'an told Yang Yi that the estimated total investment of this film is more than 80 million, and Yang Yi looked at the other party with a strange look. Yang Yi is not that he can't afford the money as Wu Yi'an thinks, but he is unwilling to invest so much money in this movie.
Although Yang Yi likes this movie very much and is crazy about the spiritual theme of this story, he also knows that when this film was released in his previous life, the box office was indeed a hit!
The investment of 25 million meters of gold, but the cumulative box office is only more than 28 million!
If it weren't for the fact that more than 20 years later, it made a lot of money by selling videotapes, then this most critically acclaimed movie in history might still be a loss-making movie!
Of course, with different box office environments, different countries, and even completely different casts, Yang Yi can't say whether this movie is still likely to hit the streets!
Perhaps, it will also counterattack?
But Yang Yi's money has other uses, he doesn't want to gamble, and he doesn't want to wait until 20 years later to return to his capital, so he agreed to Wu Yi'an to attract other capital to shoot this movie.
It's a bit far, the reason why Xie Yuchen can be determined by Wu Yi'an to be the starring role of this movie (he is not considered a crossover, because although Xie Yuchen is the emperor, he has also acted in one or two movies), has little to do with the fact that he is a regular member of Yang Yi's variety show.
The one who recommended him to audition was Chen Fengchen, who had a lot of cooperation with Xie Yuchen.
Don't look at Xie Yuchen's funny when he recorded the show, but his acting skills were not ambiguous at all, he conquered Wu Yi'an and Yang Yi in the audition.
In addition to understanding Yuchen's tight schedule, actor Shan Hongkui also has to set aside the schedule for the second half of the year to make a big-budget movie, so the "Extreme Challenge" program team has accelerated the frequency of recording, and has to finish the six episodes of July and August in advance.
No, Shan Hongkui took a few photographers and executive directors and suddenly came out of Fei Yisso's studio.
Yang Yi was kept in the dark, he and Murphy, Jin Yingming, and Qianli Chuanshu, who was about to graduate and had signed a contract with Hua Yi Brothers, were making music in the recording studio, and Shan Hongkui smiled sneeringly and knocked on the door to come in.
"What's the situation? What is the situation with you?" Yang Yi couldn't help laughing when he saw a few photographers carrying cameras behind Shan Hongkui, "You guys are recording extreme challenges, right? Why did you come here to me?"
Shan Hongkui blushed and took Yang Yi's hand and called brother.
"Hey, no, no, you're my brother, Brother Shan, don't be so insensitive! If there's anything, just say it!" Yang Yi smiled, "If I can help you, I will definitely help you!"
Only then did Shan Hongkui say what he meant.
It turned out that the final purpose of the last "special program" of the first season arranged by the program team was to hold a public welfare party, but it was different from the one in Yang Yi's previous life, the six members wanted to find songwriters to help them create new songs, and finally participated in the public welfare party together to raise funds for children in the mountainous areas.
Of course, before that, they had experienced all kinds of intrigues, and in order, they chose the songwriters they wanted one by one.
Shan Hongkui grabbed ahead of Yang Huan and chose Yang Yi.
The program team is also bad enough, they have already contacted five or five other groups of songwriters, but they just didn't tell Yang Yi to increase the difficulty of the task for Yang Yi and Shan Hongkui.
"So I'm going to write you a song for you to sing at a concert, right?" Yang Yi asked.
"It's us who sing at the concert, we sing together. Shan Hongkui said.
Concerts: Concerts of extreme challenges...... What kind of song should you sing? Suddenly, Yang Yi had an idea.
"Where is Big Brother Shan?" Yang Yi suddenly pulled up the routine.
Shan Hongkui was a little inexplicable, but he still told Yang Yi: "I'm from Dongshan......"
I saw Yang Yi smile weirdly and said: "Brother Shan, our show is called Extreme Challenge, right? In this case, I have an idea about my song, but you may need Brother Shan to do some challenges, such as practicing singing in dialects you don't know." ”
Shan Hongkui's eyes rolled, remembering the Cantonese song "The Love of My Life" posted by Yang Yi some time ago, and he asked a little proudly: "You mean Cantonese? This is easy to learn, and I can also have some, for example, Thunder Monkey!"
Yang Yi held back a smile: "Brother Shan, who told you that I meant Cantonese?"
