Chapter Eighty-One: Half Fire, Half Sea
81. Half fire, half seawater
In recent years, Tianyu's stall is getting bigger and bigger, in addition to the original six major competition areas, the audition has also opened an overseas competition area, and the publicity is more generous, the Internet, TV, paper media, bus stop signs, etc., you can see the red of "Fast Man" everywhere, and the sponsorship fee has also risen a lot, just an exclusive title auctioned out 60 million, plus various other patch ads, insert ads, etc., after the investment promotion, the leaders of Mango TV laughed, and the senior executives of Tianyu also laughed.
In July, the national competition of "Happy Boys 2010" is in full swing, just looking at the heat on the Internet, this session is not only stronger than the 07th fast man, but also faintly has to catch up with the trend of Brother Chun's supergirl, the show has not made much progress, but the fans of the contestants are becoming more and more formalized and legional, there are people who have been sticking to the bar and Tianya day and night for the contestants, and there are those who are neatly calling for idols on the spot, and even they have special personnel to manage all trivial affairs including funds, equipment, and organizations.
However, unlike the expected popularity, the average rating of this year's "Happy Boys" can only reach 0.86%, and even in the national competition, the ratings can only reach 1.07%, and Tianyu seems to have just noticed the sharp deterioration of the survival state from the bubble.
Weihai Road, Tianyu Media Conference Room.
In the early hours of yesterday morning, the executives knew the ratings of the new national competition, 0.91%, this number is quite eye-catching, the company originally wanted to increase publicity, and the ratings would grow steadily, but I didn't expect it to fall back a little.
The company made a lot of money last year, and it was renovated inside and out, with a luxurious ring-shaped conference table taking up a large part of the space, and one or two dozen boss chairs scattered during the period.
Today's temperature is very high, the central air conditioning starts the maximum horsepower to send the wind outward, the high-level participants look at me, I look at you, look at each other, today Long Danni is afraid to start the hair dryer again.
The projector has been turned on, the curtain is the classic indos desktop, the main seat in the middle is still empty, everyone glanced at the seat, some people are pale, look uneasy, some people don't care, holding the newly bought mobile phone to cut fruit, a watermelon for a while, bananas, having fun, more people are watching each other, thinking that today I don't know who will be unlucky.
At half past nine, the door to the conference room was pushed open, and there was a rush of high heels, and then the sharp and capable short-haired woman walked in, with no expression on her face, but everyone in the room felt that the space in the room was suddenly two degrees lower.
"Mr. Long. ”
"Dragons are always good. ”
Everyone got up to say hello, Long Danni nodded, but didn't say a word, her eyes gestured to Yang Liu next to her, Yang Liu understood, and clicked on a PPT file in the USB flash drive.
"What is the purpose of convening everyone to the meeting today, I don't think I need to say more, shame, this is a Waterloo since we Tianyu began to hold a talent show, I originally thought that the ratings would not be as good as the previous one, but now, what kind of achievement is this, don't you think it is dazzling?"
The screen is showing a line chart of this year's "Happy Boys" ratings, similar to the oscillation curve in physics, high for a while and low for a while, but unfortunately the dotted line in the middle is 1%.
"Tell me what's wrong with our show. ”
Long Danni looked around, everyone drooped their heads, without saying a word, she suppressed the anger in her heart, and pointed to a high pipe: "Li Hao, you say it first." ”
Li Hao is the director of this year's overseas division, he is also quite speechless, and he picked up the persimmon and pinched it softly, saying: "I think our competition system is too complicated, and even Mr. He couldn't explain it clearly during the live broadcast yesterday, the form is too complicated, but it makes the players unable to fully show their talents, so the audience can't accept it." ”
After Li Hao finished speaking, Long Danni pointed at several senior executives, like beating a drum and passing flowers, and the people who were not ordered were searching their intestines and scraping their stomachs to organize language.
"I think it's the lack of popular hype in this year's competition, there were retirement turmoil and singular seats in the national breakout tournament in 07, and there was Zeng Yike's sheep voice last year, we made good use of these topics, but this year's hype is only for the "pseudo-girl" Liu, although it stirred up the public's nerves, but the topic is not lasting. ”
"In the final analysis, it's still the pot above, and now half of the talent show is like wearing a pair of 200-pound shackles, one after another normative orders, we can only design the show conservatively. ”
"In my opinion, this group of players is not good, the style is too simple, there is no stage performance, and I haven't found my own position at all, the 07 national competition, just pick out one and easily win the championship this year. ”
Syllable.
Long Danni slapped the table with a bang, stopping the crowd from getting more and more excited, she looked around again, and said, "Since everyone sees the problem so thoroughly, let's talk about the solution." ”
For a while, the field fell silent, and it was a simple matter to pick thorns, but it was not at the same level as the amount of work involved in resurrecting the dead.
Since the audition, although the propaganda machine is full of horsepower, and advertisements have been cast on various platforms, but the media have collected money to help you blow blindly, and at the same time they have turned their heads to maintain a rational, neutral and objective face to criticize you, penguins, a certain Yi, a certain wave, a certain fox, and the entertainment version can see the boring news and comments of "Happy Boy" all day long.
"I think "Fast Man" has become a chicken rib, so it's better to cut it ruthlessly. "Finally someone opened his mouth to uncover the emperor's new clothes.
"No, our company has two signature programs, how can we cut off one arm. ”
"So what do you say?"
"We can go to South Korea, to Europe, to the United States, and learn the advanced forms of variety shows. ”
"There are already media critics of plagiarism, and if it weren't for the company's money for public relations, press releases are flying all over the place now. ”
"Enough!"
Long Danni was a little sore in his brain, waved and stopped the discussion, and said, "Regarding Kuainan's suggestion, you each write a proposal, and the meeting will be voted on in three days." ”
"In the last episode, I went to Mango Channel to supervise now, and a reporter interviewed me and said that our company has created many idols, why can't we keep people. Everyone has seen the termination of the contract in the past few years, what do you think of this?"
A dog-headed military advisor said: "I think the company has to increase the amount of liquidated damages in the contract, and only if the liquidated damages are so high that the artists dare not think crookedly, can they completely live in peace." ”
There is some truth in this, but it is not entirely true, when Chen Chusheng wanted to leave Tianyu, the lawsuit lasted for half a year, and Tianyu's side shouted 33 million liquidated damages, and in the end, they were different and left, and the liquidated damages did not reach that amount.
"You take it for granted, the liquidated damages are too high, if there is another lawsuit, after media fermentation, the company's image will be greatly damaged, in my opinion, it is better to add a hard clause on the number of commercial performances in the contract, even if it breaks down in the end, the company has to make money. ”
Long Danni sat down slowly, leaned in the chair, and said, "There are some people in the company who don't listen to the arrangement now, and it has reached the point where it affects the company's revenue, what do you think should be done?"
"The company should be tough, there have been too many people in the last two years, and the rest of the people will inevitably sit on the fence and watch, it's time to kill their arrogance. ”
"I agree, a little artist, I really think it's terrible to hug Zhang Yimou's thighs, so many people have filmed Zhang Yimou's scenes, and they are not all popular. ”
"The company's next strategy is to strengthen film and television development, and it is really not worth letting go of a potential stock, I think it is better to criticize and appease. ”
"Now there is no one in the company, in the entertainment industry, the most important thing is young people, a stubble will grow out after cutting, besides, Zhang Han's popularity is not low now, if he dies Zhang Butcher, do you have to eat hairy pigs?"
"That is, if "Meteor Shower" is on the air again next month, it proves that our company has erected another signboard. ”
Long Danni rubbed his eyes, and when he opened them again, his eyes were shining, and he said with a heartbeat: "Let's vote, raise your hand in favor of tough treatment." ”
Brushing, brushing, and rubbing of arms against sleeves made a sound, and most of the participants raised their hands, leaving only two or three people to sit quietly.
Long Danni paused and said, "Since everyone thinks so, then I will obey the majority in the minority." ”
……
Probably because the superior leaders love to put on music, Han Fei has been in the magic capital for several days, and he still hasn't seen Long Danni's face.
Sister Fan also came to the magic capital, and she is exploring Long Danni's tone through her own channels, and the agent's obligations have been fulfilled, which is not much worse than her own sister.
Han Fei was not in a hurry at all, he accompanied Miss Jiang around the magic capital all day long, except for the fact that it was more unpleasant to wear a mask in the summer, Han Fei was very satisfied with other things.
In the hotel, Miss Jiang leaned on the sofa, holding snacks in her hand and constantly sending them to her mouth, and her two feet were on Han Fei's legs, which was called a pleasant. And Han Fei incarnated as a foot pinching master, gently twisting and slowly wiping and picking, and his right hand kept changing his technique to massage Miss Jiang's jade feet, rubbing the oil by the way.
"Alas, there are too many people in our country, and you should have been lined up on my back at that time, and I was about to be wasted when I stood on my feet. ”
"Do you have to go to see "Qingming Riverside Picture", why didn't you shout tired when you watched it at the time, my hands are still tired now. ”
"If you don't like to press it, don't press it, believe it or not, I can call a van man to pinch my feet with a phone call. Miss Jiang suddenly became arrogant and kicked Han Fei, her eyes slanted at him, and her gaze poked like an arrow.
"Believe, I believe, I believe you call a cart of bread people. Han Fei shrugged his shoulders, plucked the strings three or two times with the shaft of his right hand, and continued to move.
Looking at Han Fei's movements, Miss Jiang enjoyed it a lot, put down the snacks in her hand, pointed to the milk tea on the table, and Han Fei handed it over in her heart.
"Did you just hold it with your left hand or your right hand?"
"Is there a difference?"
Miss Jiang frowned and said, "Didn't you press my foot with your right hand?"
"Isn't there a cup separating that?" Han Fei muttered.
"But if I eat a snack later, won't it be equivalent to indirectly putting my feet in my mouth?"
"It seems to make sense, feet-hands-hands-mouth, nothing wrong, but you still dislike yourself. ”
"That's right, this girl is naturally beautiful, and she shouldn't dislike herself. ”
The TV is locked in Lychee Channel, and now it is constantly playing commercials, and suddenly a trailer pops up, which is "Happy Late Roll Call", but the faces of the three female guests are blocked.
"If you don't press it, I'm going to strike, I'm tired to death. ”
"Oh, why are you so stingy. ”
Miss Jiang pulled out two long legs, jumped over, kissed her, and then pouted her red lips, specially, the acting department is all drama spirits, Confucius said that coquettish women are the best, Han Fei's will defense line quickly collapsed, and he once again played the role of a foot pinching technician.
"The episode you recorded is broadcast tonight?" After a while, Han Fei glanced back and looked at Miss Jiang, who was enjoying the superb skills of Master Han, the No. 1 technician, and said.
"That's right, I'm quite unhappy to say it, the studio is too small, the small theater that hasn't been on the play is big, the program team is also picking, and I haven't been full of food. Miss Jiang said with resentment.
"Haha, it's okay, in the future, they will have to carry a sedan chair to invite you, just for your name, and they will ask you for more than a sign. ”
"What sign?"
"Jiangsu wins. ”
The show finally started, Li Ai was already tall, and he also kicked a pair of haters to the sky, a head and a half higher than Peng Yu, the old-fashioned opening method, the old-fashioned program form, and the subtitles that completely copied the crooked variety show style, Han Fei didn't have the slightest desire, if it wasn't for the sake of seeing his girlfriend, he wouldn't bother to glance at this kind of show.
One watched the scene, the other was not interested, the two talked again, Miss Jiang leaned on Han Fei's arms, looked up at him, and said, "Hey, didn't you say that you are Jing Ke who generously went to Qin, it's been a few days, and King Qin hasn't summoned you yet." ”
Han Fei's hand was quite dishonest, and he slid the back of his hand on Miss Jiang's thigh, and said with a smile: "People have a big shelf, after all, they are the boss, I am a small employee, people can see if they want to see it, and if they don't see it, they won't see it, and the decision is not up to me." ”
"What if the other party is very tough?" Miss Jiang slapped Han Fei's salty pig hand heavily.
That palm was not painful, Han Fei's hand still didn't stop, and said: "Love hard or not, I guess they are also waiting, waiting to see the results of "Meteor Shower 2" after the broadcast, if the results are hot, then the chips on their side are a few points heavier, and my side is very passive, I can only succumb to their conditions, or forcibly terminate the contract." ”
"Is there much room for return?"
"I don't know, the results of "Fast Man" have been a mess recently, and it is estimated that everyone in the company is on fire, anyway, the situation is not good. ”
Miss Jiang turned over and sat on Han Fei's lap and said firmly, "No matter what the result is, I will always stand by your side." ”
Han Fei's heart was warm, his hands touched her cheeks, and he was about to sigh when he slapped his hand again.
"Hey, what are you hitting me for?"
"You're right-handed. ”
"Don't you dislike yourself?"
"Hey, it seems to be too, oops, just hit it, all the fuss. ”
