Time goes back twenty minutes ago.

In August, the imperial capital has already begun the midsummer mode.

Although the weather in the imperial capital is not so stuffy compared to the humid and muggy south, most people still try to stay indoors with air conditioning if they don't have to.

On such days, a black sedan was speeding along the road towards the location of Molong Media's Imperial Capital Company.

With the gradual expansion of the scale of the Imperial Capital Company of Molong Media, Li Mo and Zong Shuai decided to continue to expand the scale of the Imperial Capital Company after discussion, and the future cinema chain and related departments will work here, so with the adjustment of the company's future route, more and more floors and rooms in this building, which was originally only used for transition, have begun to hang the logo of Molong Media.

With a crisp sound of brakes, the sedan stopped under the office building.

As soon as the car door opened, a young man in his twenties greeted him.

"Mr. Hou, Director Li, Director Kong, hello, I am Mr. Li's assistant Feng Wen, welcome to Molong Media. ”

The three men who got out of the car were none other than Hou Hongliang, Li Hao and Kong Sheng, who formed the Noon Sunshine with Molong Media.

It seemed that Hou Hongliang and the others were worried that there would be a misunderstanding because Li Mo or Zong Shuai did not come to greet him in person, Feng Wen spoke again and specifically explained: "Mr. Zong and Sister Lifang have gone to Xiangjiang, Mr. Fu is running the movie schedule at the Tianying Group, and Brother Mo is auditioning for the role, so he asked me to say sorry to a few people." ”

Also as directors, Li Hao and Kong Sheng quite admired Li Mo's style of work first and communication second, and without waiting for Hou Hongliang to speak, Kong Sheng said: "It's okay, work is important." ”

Seeing that the eldest brother Kong Sheng spoke first, Hou Hongliang also nodded, "Since that's the case, let's find a place to wait a little bit." ”

After thinking about it for a while, Hou Hongliang said again: "If you can, can you take us around the company?"

"Of course that's no problem," Li Mo's original intention was to let the other party visit the operation of the company's various departments first, so Feng Wen naturally had already prepared for this, so he nodded without hesitation, "Please come with me." ”

said that it was a visit, but Hou Hongliang and others obviously had different levels of interest in various departments of Molong.

For example, Li Hao and Kong Sheng obviously don't have much interest in the film and variety show production department.

Although they also know that "Extreme Challenge" produced by Molong Media is the most popular variety show in China today, for old-school directors like Kong Sheng and Li Hao, let alone a variety show, even if it is a movie that is inherently half a level higher than a TV series in the eyes of others, it is not as interesting for them as a good TV series script in their hands......

is different from Kong and Li, Hou Hongliang is much more interested in variety show production.

No way, in the team with the three of them as the core, Li and Kong are in charge of the crew and the professional field, their task is to shoot the works well, and the commercial operation is handled by Hou Hongliang......

Because of this, Hou Hongliang is quite interested in the overall process of variety shows.

However, looking at it, Hou Hongliang's originally fiery heart gradually cooled down.

It seems that making a variety show is not so easy......

It can be seen that the first variety show "Extreme Challenge" produced by Molong is used to make the company's name, and another variety show ("Run"), which is still in the planning stage, should be a place for Molong Media to brush up the popularity of its own artists.

As a person who participated in the distribution of "Langya Bang" throughout the whole process and had frequent contact with various platforms, although Hou Hongliang may not be able to predict the arrival of the traffic era like Li Mo, he is also keenly aware that the current distribution work seems to have changed somewhat compared with his previous work environment.

Although this change is inexplicable, it is real.

Due to the limitations of the system, traditional TV platforms will also consider the theme and content of TV dramas when buying TV dramas, but now the emerging online video platforms pay more attention to the cast of actors.

To be precise, it is the audience's attention to the actors.

is a very simple example, although "Langya Bang" is dominated by Molong Media's funds, Hou Hongliang and others are still proud to believe that this work is definitely second only to "Breaking Guandong" in several of the works they have cooperated with in recent years, but it is such a work that they have been fortunate for more than half a year, just because only Hu Ge is a first-line actor in the cast, so they are facing a more difficult situation in terms of sales on the online platform.

Although from the bottom of his heart, Hou Hongliang, like his two old partners, does not recognize the saying that popular and high-profile stars are good actors, but since the market trend is like this, Kong and Li, who specialize in directing, do not need to think about it, but Hou Hongliang has to think about it for future works.

Now it seems that Molong Media seems to be thinking more far-reaching in this regard.

Not only has this tendency been aware of for a long time, but it has already begun to be implemented.

Want to increase the audience's attention to the actors?

The easiest way is to increase the exposure of the actors.

Compared with the traditional mode of making scandals and issuing press releases, the outdoor variety show that Mo Long is doing now seems to be a more effective method.

Think about it, the twelve episodes of a season of variety shows, the broadcast time on the TV platform alone is as long as three months, which still does not count the continuous attention time of the online platform.

For such a long time, if there is someone dangling in front of the audience every week, if nothing else, it's always okay to mix up the familiar face, right?

If this variety show can be successful again, it will be a win-win deal for the actors and the production company.

Seeing this, Hou Hongliang had to admire Li Mo.

This young man always seems to be able to get ahead of the others, and the choices he makes are always the most in line with the market situation.

Seeing the staff in full swing editing, rendering and other work, Hou Hongliang frowned and began to think about the next conversation strategy again.

Not long after Feng Wen took Hou Hongliang out of the variety show and film department, several people saw Li Mo walking towards him with two people.

At first, he shouldn't have noticed Hou Hongliang and the others on the other side, and he kept tilting his head to explain something to the two people next to him, until he finished talking about things, took a few deep breaths and began to move his body, then he saw Hou Hongliang and his party on this side of the corridor, so he hurriedly walked over.

"Mr. Hou, Director Li, Director Kong, I didn't expect you to come over so soon. I'm sorry to keep you waiting. ”

As the leader of the trio's external contact, Hou Hongliang first shook hands with Li Mo, "Mr. Li is polite, when your assistant took us to visit the company just now, we all felt that we had gained a lot." ”

"Mr. Hou is polite, you, Director Li, and Director Kong are all seniors who have been in the industry for many years, and I should ask you for advice. Is there anything you have to do with your visit today?"

"It's really a bit of a thing," Hou Hongliang was not hypocritical, and admitted directly, "In addition to the fact that we continue to cooperate, I am also entrusted by others today, and I can be regarded as coming to the front to stand ......."

"In that case, let's sit down and talk slowly. ”
