Chapter 512: Changing Face

"Wouldn't that be too ...... dear Too controversial?" Scarlett's eyes widened, a look of surprise.

Don laughed: "Controversy is traffic. ”

Natalie shook her head, "Even so, I don't think Truth or Dare is a good fit for Starz. ”

"Oh, tell me?"

"Truth or Dare" is a show like that...... To put it bluntly, it is to attract attention with kitsch and vulgar secret private affairs, and I don't think the elite will be interested in this kind of show. ”

Natalie's social circle is not in Hollywood, in her words, "she doesn't have a common thread with those idiot actresses." She prefers to make friends with the elite, and of course understands it better.

Scarlett listened and nodded again and again, "Yes, yes, yes, I think so too, this show is not good." ”

Natalie shook her head and said softly, "It's not bad, it's not appropriate." "Truth or Dare" can be handed over to a TV station like FOX that strives to be in a position to broadcast, so that on Starz TV, the subscription fee of z is so high, and most of the users are elites above the middle class, what they want to see is not the private life of vulgar other people's families, but high-quality programs with content and taste. ”

Don couldn't help but secretly admire Natalie.

Sure enough, it's a talented girl!

In the previous life, as soon as the project "Truth or Dare" was proposed, it hit a wall on the three major TV networks NBC, CBS, AND ABC, and was finally accepted by the FOX TV network and broadcast.

FOX is the fourth largest television network after NBC, CBS, and ABC, and if you want to increase your ratings, you must broadcast some "out-of-the-ordinary" programs to attract attention.

Dick Clark Television Productions began hiring staff in March this year, and expects to add 500 new hires this year to enrich the reality TV production team.

After "American Idol", "Brave Warrior", and "The Bachelor", it seems necessary to launch "Truth or Dare".

"The Bachelor" was handed over to NBC by Donn and is expected to air in late November of this year.

The reason why Donn turned down ABC and handed over "The Bachelor" to NBC was that in addition to NBC's offer of a price that he couldn't refuse, Donn also demanded that NBC Group not bother him with his acquisition of Universal Pictures.

In other words, you can't participate in bidding and drive up prices.

"American Idol" went to CBS, "Brave Rush" went to ABC, and "The Bachelor" went to NBC...... Next, it's time to give FOX a reality show to strike a balance between left and right.

Truth or Dare is the way to go.

"Okay, then knock out Truth or Dare, and take a look at this project, "Flyover". Don put away the previous plan and handed them a second one.

"I like the costume design!" Scarlett snapped in surprise after a brief glance at the introduction.

Tang En smiled slightly, "That's right, this is a reality show of costume design, and it is also a curiosity." The contestants are all excellent fashion designers, and they have to face different tests. Sometimes, it is necessary to use non-traditional clothing materials to make clothing, to design clothes for specific people, to design products for ready-to-wear companies, or to create clothing with a specific theme. ”

This is just the surface, and there is a deep meaning behind it.

When designing a garment, you must have a model to try it on, right?

At this time, you can reflect the value of Starz professional cable TV station, there is no need to have any picture cutting, and the models can appear in the TV screen generously.

There is a male model's strong body and a female model's bewitching figure, this process of undressing and dressing is definitely a highlight.

The original version of "Flyover" was broadcast on Lifetime TV, and there was this kind of footage, but the scale was limited.

Still in IMDB, with an amazing score of 7.3!

In terms of taste and quality, "Flyover" is definitely the pinnacle of reality shows.

Natalie watched silently for five minutes, glanced at Don with a smile, and bowed her head slightly, "I like this idea too, it seems that your ideas are not all flattering and vulgar things." ”

Don couldn't stop crying and laughing, "Nat, are you praising me or scolding me?"

Scarlett pursed her lips and smiled, "Stupid, of course I'm complimenting you!"

She was next to Natalie, and the two sisters had joined forces to form a united front.

"That's it!" Natalie smiled wittily, "anything else?" ”

Tang En said confidently: "The next one will be more high-end and atmospheric, hum, it's "Changing Face"!"

"Changing Faces?" Natalie was slightly stunned, "John Wu's movie?"

Scarlett blinked and asked in surprise, "It's not going to be an action reality show, is it?"

Tang En said: "It has nothing to do with the movie, you can see "Changing Face" as a sister version of "Flyover", or it can be called "Special Effects Makeup Artist Showdown". ”

The girls took the document from Donn's hand, and then it dawned.

"It turned out to be a makeup reality show! Well, professional makeup artists are really powerful, and they can achieve the effect of changing their faces. Scarlett said in admiration.

Natalie watched the plan again, admired it very much, and looked very happy, "Yes, this is it! I've been looking forward to having a show like this! Nowadays, movies have a lot of special effects makeup, and they look very fake, which makes people jump in the scene." Including big productions like "The Lord of the Rings", there are many makeup and costume arrangements, all of which are unsatisfactory and not refined enough. ”

Don said with a smile: "That's because the budget of "The Lord of the Rings" is limited, and Peter Jackson can't help it." ”

"But this has nothing to do with the audience, film is art, and it cannot be perfunctory to the audience. Natalie said seriously.

Scarlett said repeatedly: "Yes, yes, I especially agree. Especially horror films, the makeup in there...... It's so ridiculous, not to mention scary, I can't wait to laugh. ”

Natalie said: ""Changing Face" and "Flyover" are both very good! one is to improve the audience's aesthetics of special effects makeup, and the other is to improve the audience's aesthetics of costume design, these two reality shows are very meaningful!"

Scarlett said: "That's right, if the audience's aesthetic level of movies and TV series is improved, those shoddy film and television works will have no room for survival, which will push the creation of movies and TV series to move in a better direction." ”

Natalie nodded, "I agree! Actually, from a macro perspective, it means more." The overall level of Hollywood movies is higher than that of foreign films, and if programs like "Changing Face" and "Flyover" can be promoted overseas and improve the overall aesthetic taste of people all over the world, then no one will watch those tattered foreign movies and TV series. At that time, there will only be American dramas and Hollywood movies left on the market!"

Don was stunned and looked at Natalie.

Full of a sense of conspiracy!

However, it is a bit too difficult to change the aesthetic standards of fans around the world through two reality shows.

Elites are elites because they are inclusive. And most people are stuck at the bottom, and many times it is because of their crippled thinking and narrow self-interested comfort zone.

To put it bluntly, it is programs like "Changing Face" and "Flyover", which are not as entertaining.

Scarlett looked at Donn's disapproving expression and snorted lightly, """Changing Face" and "Flyover" are on Starz TV. Others aside, as long as the aesthetic standards of STA users are raised, it is done. When the time comes, will these users still be able to watch the programs of other TV stations? ”

Natalie smiled and put her arms around Scarlett's shoulders and pursed her lips, "Don, aren't you saying that the number of STA users is decreasing? If "Changing Face" and "Flyover" are popular on Starz and forcibly improve their aesthetics, when the time comes, they will stick to STA and become stable users. ”

Don looked at Natalie and Scarlett in surprise.

This level of relationship, he really didn't expect it before!

"Changing Face" is a reality show that was only launched in 2011, and as soon as it was broadcast, it quickly became popular in the United States and became a super upstart in the reality show industry.

The IMDb score is as high as 8.2 points!

In the reality show rankings, it has occupied the first place for a long time.

Tang En originally wanted to provide STA with richer and more high-quality content through this reality show, but he didn't expect that after they reminded him, the reality show would have such an additional role!

Producing "Flyover" and "Changing Face" and broadcasting them on Starz TV can not only provide tasteful and high-quality high-end programs, but also improve the audience's aesthetics.

In this way, how can those shoddy TV series that look flawed at a glance still be accepted by these users?

forcibly raised the aesthetic standards, and then had to stick to STA.

Wonderful!

Wonderful!

Tang En was in a good mood, leaned over and kissed each of them on the red lips, and happily asked, "So, the two shows were produced together?"

"Together!"

Natalie and Scarlett said in unison.

"Okay, let's go together. ”

Don stood up, smiled wickedly, and jerked the towel around his waist......

"Oops!"

The two girls screamed.

"Don, you're a big bastard!"

"I don't want it!"

……

On August 11th, Donn held an important meeting within the company, announcing that Dick Clark TV Production Company would immediately start producing three reality TV shows: "Truth or Dare", "Changing Face" and "Flyover".

In particular, "Changing Face" and "Flyover" are provided for the STA TV network, and the best production team must be selected to create a milestone boutique in the reality show.

The next day, a breakthrough was finally made in the negotiation between Don Pictures and Vivendi.

Vivendi spat out, and they agreed to sell Blizzard, Scherlot, and other related game divisions.

As a condition, Towne Pictures had to buy the assets of Universal Pictures, Universal Music, USA Television Network, and Houghton Mifflin in an all-cash form to solve Vivendi's debt crisis.

The situation of Down Pictures is very good!
