Chapter 398: You Should Find a Producer!
After talking about this matter, Zhou Xing did not rush to find Tiantai Mountain Spring, but was ready to wait for the formal contract to be signed, and gather the five groups of comedians for the premiere, and the TV station also began to start promotion. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
When they have such a sense of urgency, coupled with the huge pressure of sales, they are bound to transform.
As for the transformation plan, Zhou Xing has not been idle these days and is helping them write it.
What Zhou Xing wants now is not limited to earning an endorsement fee, but wants to make major enterprises aware of their marketing capabilities through in-depth cooperation with Tiantai Mountain Spring, let TV stations see their own planning advantages, and then elevate the status of the laughter factory.
Zhou Xing named this show "Comedy League", referred to as Xilian, which has the same meaning as "Happy Comedian" produced by Happy Media in the previous life, but Xilian has a deeper meaning, that is, the alliance of comedians - welcome comedians from all over the world to join!
As for Tiantai Spring, Zhou Xing finally knew what the skills of "VI Design" he drew were for, and he could refer to the three principles of CIS of Nongfu Spring, that is, the concept, behavior, and vision of the three aspects of packaging it in an all-round way to create a new mineral water brand!
For example, the concept of Nongfu Spring, its advertising slogan, and even the design from the logo to the VI. Since Tiantai Mountain Spring knew about it through Gao Longxiang of Longxiang Technical School, it obviously recognized his marketing and advertising planning capabilities, so that Zhou Xing could open up the situation by talking to them and let them break the boat.
In the plan, Tiantai Mountain Spring and "Comedy League" are definitely complementary and indispensable important parts. The program made Tiantai Mountain Spring an instant hit, and the promotional map of the program was printed on the packaging of the mineral water supplied by Tiantai Mountain Spring to raise the influence of the program.
The coverage of mineral water is very wide, from high-end conferences to small rural shops are its market, and there is such a program with it on the top, which will inevitably cause sales to soar and seize market share with absolute strength, and once the market is opened, the promotional map on the packaging of Tiantai Mountain Spring is to feed back to the program and improve the popularity of the program.
Mutual benefit and win-win cooperation!
Zhou Xing still remembers that in the previous life, Volkswagen's Lingdu and Yili's An Muxi launched new products, all of which were hit by the super high-rated program "Run, Brother", and quickly occupied the market, which shows its power!
As for the QQ star of "Where Are You Going, Dad", Liby of "I Am a Singer", and Jia Duobao of "The Voice of China" is even more so.
On the evening of the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, Zhou Xingfei returned to the capital, met with Guo Chao on the morning of the seventh day of the Lunar New Year, and after telling the details, Guo Chao went to the industrial and commercial department to handle the replacement of the company.
And Zhou Xing held two meetings one after another, one was the Spring Festival mobilization meeting, and the other was a small meeting with the program producers that Guo Chao had poached these days.
The mobilization meeting was held in the old theater, all the staff participated, Zhou Xing delivered an impassioned speech on the stage, depicting a promising future for everyone, and announced that he had signed a contract with Jiangnan Satellite TV to jointly produce a comedy variety show, and the outstanding actors in the theater will have the opportunity to participate with him.
Naturally, the actors were very excited by the news, and everyone cheered themselves up, striving to perform hard and participate in "The Big League of Comedy".
It's just a name, Zhou Xing didn't mention a specific plan, so naturally there is no taboo.
As for the talents under the structure of Xilian Entertainment, Zhou Xing put forward two requirements for them, one is to familiarize themselves with the production mode of Beijing Satellite TV's "Super Comedian" as soon as possible, and the second is to treat the usual performances of the laughter factory as the program site, and make two program samples to practice.
This can be regarded as a foundation for them, after all, before this show, except for CCTV's cross talk sketch competition, Huaxia did not have a variety show specializing in comedy, and the vast majority of producers were not familiar with this part, and they had no experience to refer to.
Although Zhou Xing has the "Happy Comedian" in his previous life as a blueprint, it is impossible for him to teach everything step by step, and they also need to have their own ideas and innovations, otherwise if they leave themselves in the future, this team will still have no idea of the execution machine.
The registration of Xilian Entertainment went very smoothly, Guo Chao found some connections, and it was done in half a day.
In the evening, in a private restaurant in the capital, Zhou Xing, Guo Chao, and Qi Jianxun sat together.
"Xiao Zhou, the start-up capital of two million is really not enough to support the expenditure of a drama, not to mention that you have to shoot more than 80 episodes, and it takes more than 3,000 minutes for a single film, and it takes an average of 300 minutes to produce a one-minute feature film, how long do you calculate and how much does it cost?"
After eating a bite of food, Qi Jianxun continued: "I don't have a problem with the time, but what about the actors, you can't use all the actors in your theater, and I read your script, there are hundreds of characters with names and surnames, and there are not so many of you actors, not to mention that many of them have to invite some well-known actors to make cameos according to your wishes, even if the cameo also needs to be costly, we can sell faces once or twice, but too many can't do it." ”
Zhou Xing poured Qi Jianxun a glass of wine and said with a smile: "Director Qi, I just said that two million is just a start-up fund, and it will be added later, and when I was writing the script, I had already conceived enough pictures in my mind, so I could avoid many detours." ”
Qi Jianxun sighed: "Xiao Zhou, it's not that I don't think I have much money, I like this work, I can do it even if I don't want to be paid, but the problem is not so simple at all, but I am in a responsible attitude, since I want to do it, I must do it well, instead of making hasty preparations, in that case, there will be no need to shoot our drama, either in a hurry, or because of financial problems that affect the filming process." ”
Qi Jianxun looked up at Zhou Xing: "I've seen too many production crews, who were ambitious at the beginning and vowed to make a masterpiece, but basically these projects that were not well prepared will end up yellow because of such and such problems in the filming process." ”
After a pause, Qi Jianxun continued: "As for the conceptual picture you said, but after all, it is in your mind, after expressing it to me through your words, I have another understanding, either you have been staring at the guidance on the set, but this is not realistic......"
In the end, Qi Jianxun shook his head and said with a wry smile: "I really want to shoot this wonderful work well, not deal with it, so I think you should find another producer, instead of you working hard, and find a well-connected producer to cooperate with the TV station from the beginning of filming, which can also save a lot of things in the process." ”
Zhou Xing really didn't expect that Qi Jianxun would be responsible to this extent, which made him a little crying and laughing, and he was moved by Qi Jianxun's heart, but he didn't know what to do, I can't say how many times I have watched the entire "Wulin Gaiden" from beginning to end, right?
And what Qi Jianxun insisted on was his previous shooting experience, although it was kind and even attentive, but it became Zhou Xing's shackles at the moment.
After hesitating for a moment, Zhou Xing suddenly remembered something, so he asked, "Director Qi, do you already have an idea in your heart, which company do you think is suitable for being a producer?"
