Chapter 480: Extreme Challenge
The reason why Molong Media released "Extreme Challenge" first was naturally because of Li Mo's insistence.
After synthesizing the experience of the original time and space, and having detailed discussions with Yu Hangying and Yan Min, Li Mo finally made this decision.
Although in the evaluation of the original time and space, most people will think that "Extreme Challenge" is more interesting than "Running Man", and in the netizen rating on Hudou.com, "Extreme Challenge" is also higher, but this does not mean that "Running Man" is really that bad.
First of all, there is a huge difference between the two in the choice of MC.
Most of the guests selected by "Extreme Challenge" are middle-aged actors with a good reputation among the audience and a certain amount of accumulation, and the only little fresh meat Zhang Yixing has no black material, plus the rules of "Extreme Challenge" are quite loose (well, there are rules for chicken strips?), which gives the guests enough room to play.
Of course, the most important thing is that Yan Min, the chief director of "Extreme Challenge", has insisted on a principle from the beginning: this is a show that has no script, ignores the rules, and tosses whatever you want.
From this point of view, Yan Min really grasped the point of the 'real person' of the reality show.
And "Running Man" is almost everything the opposite of "Extreme Challenge".
MC comes with black spots, which are mixed;
All MCs are almost applying the Korean version of character design and positioning, lacking novelty;
There is hardly any grounding in the game, and almost all the passerby NPCs that appear in the game are proven to be directed by the staff......
In other words, perhaps from the very beginning, the original time and space of Hailan Satellite TV understood this show as a studio program placed outdoors......
In this time and space, this is also the reason why Li Mo decided to postpone "Running Man".
When South Korea sold the copyright of "Running Man", it already left a secret move.
In order to expand the influence of South Korean variety shows and artists throughout Asia, when the copyright transfer agreement was signed, South Korea limited the power of the South Korean side to supervise and assist the entire production process when Mo Long was in the production of the program.
Because Zong Shuai never thought that Li Mo would start the whole process in such a short period of time when he signed the agreement, and he could also find the person in charge by name, so he naturally couldn't ask for the assistance requested by the South Korean side. But when Yu Hangying began to make it independently, the appearance of South Koreans became a problem.
According to the South Korean thinking, since their program model can be successful in South Korea, it is actually very simple to succeed in the Celestial Empire - just copy the success model.
They also don't want to think that the entire land area of South Korea is only 100,000 square kilometers, and the population of the whole country is less than 53 million, which is not even comparable to a medium-sized province in the Celestial Empire.
Sure enough, in the final edited pilot episode, Li Mo saw a bunch of rigid character designs, and the script with problems could be seen at a glance...... And the game where the audience does not laugh and forcibly tickles......
If something like this is released directly, "Running Man" in this time and space will inevitably follow the old path of the original time and space.
It's just that the black material is flying all over the sky, the key is the bunch of rigid characters and scripts......
If he didn't change the production method, Li Mo didn't think that the audience in this time and space would be open to his own program because of the novelty.
didn't say anything, after sending the South Korean team away, Li Mo decided to temporarily launch "Extreme Challenge" to the market first, and then launch "Running Man", so as not to bring the two programs to the market at the same time, and then inexplicably kill each other.
………………
The so-called 'pilot episode' that aired today is actually the first episode of the first season.
In the United States on the other side of the Pacific Ocean, if the pilot episode of the TV series has a bad response, then the TV station will not hesitate to cut it in half, so as not to cause further losses.
The people who came to participate in the promotion meeting today, in addition to the buyers and backbones of major TV platforms, Molong Media can also be regarded as a nest dispatch, not only Li Mo and Zong Shuai are all here, but even Zhong Lifang, who has just joined the company, has also appeared.
As the CFO of a company, she is naturally obligated to evaluate the revenue of the company's projects.
In addition to the executives, Yan Min and Yu Hangying, the two heads of the variety show sector, also came to the scene.
If you want to say that the people who are most nervous about the outcome today, they must be the only ones.
These two have been joining Molong Media for nearly two years, and Li Mo's support for their work can be said to be unlimited, and now it is the time for them to face the market test, and it is strange that they are not nervous.
For example, Yan Min has been standing on tiptoe and putting down on his two legs since the pilot episode was broadcast......
It was okay at the beginning, but as the pilot episodes got longer and longer,
Yan Min trembled more and more, not to mention Yu Hangying who was sitting next to him, even Li Mo, who was sitting in the C position, felt that his chair was shaking uncontrollably......
"Banniang (Yu Hangying's nickname), take care of the guy next to you," in the end, Zong Shuai couldn't help but speak, "If you let him shake like that, people still think that there is an earthquake in our imperial capital." ”
Yu Hangying is better at team management than Yan Min, so when the affairs of the variety show department are not too busy, Zong Shuai simply asked her to temporarily take the position of director of the variety show department.
Yu Hangying smiled awkwardly, but kicked Yan Min unceremoniously at her feet: "As for you, the first season is finished, the editing is over, this will be a trial broadcast, no matter whether you succeed or fail, you can't affect it, are you still nervous?"
"Ban Niang, you don't know, I haven't slept well in the past half a year," Yan Min shook his head with a wry smile, "Fortunately, there is company support, Huang Bo, Huang Lei, Sun Honglei, Wang Xun and other teachers also cooperated, otherwise how could I have played such a big crew." ”
Listening to Yan Min's complaints, Yu Hangying had a lot of feelings about what he said.
Molong Media really dares to delegate power.
Except for the strict financial audit, the company has not interfered with anything related to the production of the program.
The program playing on the big screen now can be said to be completely created according to Yan Min's concept, if such a thing can't succeed, Yan Min himself doesn't know how to explain it to Li Mo, who trusts him.
