In the video, Wang Keng said with foaming at the mouth: "...... I especially appreciate the movie "Operation Mekong", whether it is the script or the actors, the production team or the shooting team, they are very serious and dedicated, especially the director Li Zhifan, he has done what a real director should do, which is a ...... that our whole industry should learn"

"Huh!"

Seeing his righteous words, Zhou Ke couldn't help but laugh and said, "This sycophant is too much, right?"

"Let him shoot!"

Li Zhifan smiled and disagreed, this must have been someone who handed Wang Keng's message, otherwise with the characteristics of his cannon mouth, he would definitely not come to praise a peer, there are more directors in China who are more powerful than Li Zhifan, why don't anyone praise him?

And in Li Zhifan's impression, Wang Keng seems to have never praised people, and scolded his son for entering the industry and filming TV, and now the sudden transformation is definitely not his own idea. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Maybe long before this set of "performances" was completed, he had scolded Li Zhifan many times in his heart.

After dragging the progress bar and watching it for a few minutes, Li Zhifan turned off the video, took off the headphones, put away the notebook after it was turned off, and turned his hand around Zhou Ke: "Go to sleep!"

"Hmm!" Zhou Ke shrank into the quilt, and just turned off the light, he suddenly whispered, "Don't scratch it, squeeze it out......"

"Good, good!"

Li Zhifan hurriedly stopped, but the thief was not dead, and asked with a smile: "Wife, I want to ......"

"Don't think about it!"

"I just want to ......"

"What should I do if the child is asleep and wakes up!"

"Bear with it and take your time!"

"Don't ......"

“……”

……

In the blink of an eye, a week later.

Li Zhifan set off for China.

I came back this time because I had a new job.

At the press conference for the establishment of the timeline last year, Li Zhifan announced that he would do a new talent show in the next two years, but radio and television have introduced restrictions on variety shows, which are not allowed to be overly entertaining, and only one photo shoot of music and singing programs will be distributed every quarter, resulting in the inability to produce talent shows this year.

But I have signed a production agreement with Mango TV and Mango TV before, the draft can't be done, and there must be another variety show on top, Li Zhifan originally planned to do the second season of "Star Detective" directly, but this show was not allowed to be on the stars by radio and television, so even if it was done, it didn't make sense.

In desperation, Li Zhifan had to take out the baby at the bottom of the box - the variety show "Extreme Challenge" that he had snatched from the man's help.

Although Li Zhifan has not served as the chief director or chief producer of a variety show, even "Star Detective" He only produced the first three episodes, and then handed it over to the team to deal with, and in the end, the actual chief director and chief producer became two post-90s young people in the timeline.

However, he is still very confident in producing a star-level variety show.

At least in terms of concept and conception, there is a reference object, and in terms of post-production, there is technology and ability.

Mango Golden Eagle Production Center.

As soon as Li Zhifan got off the plane, he came here directly.

The conference room was full of people, including employees from the production department of the TV program, employees of Mango TV, and employees of Mango TV.

In addition, Huang Tianhai was also present.

The vacancy for Li Zhifan to do this show is from Huang Tianhai's production team.

If there was no Li Zhifan last year, the program that was originally scheduled to be broadcast was the work of Huang Tianhai's team, as for what content they did, that is another story.

But later, Li Zhifan's timeline stood up, and reached an agreement with Mango Channel, Mango TV, and Huang Tianhai's team to jointly produce a singing talent show.

With Li Zhifan's name, this talent show is definitely popular, even if it is not national-level, it is also a vibrating bomb for the reshuffle in the circle.

After the accident, Huang Tianhai's team was instantly distraught, and they even thought about planning by themselves, they only needed Li Zhifan to put on his name or be a host or something, and there were some people involved in the timeline.

But Li Zhifan suddenly said that he had a new program plan to replace the original plan, which made Huang Tianhai's team feel relaxed and curious, but also curious about what this new plan was like.

"Did you get off the plane?"

"You left the airport half an hour ago?

"I don't know what kind of show it is this time. ”

"Who knows!"

"Bless and bless, I hope this show is more reliable and won't be killed by radio and television!"

"Director Li is different from the past, his "Mekong" is so taken care of by the above, I believe that this new variety show, radio and television will not find trouble, right?"

"I hope so! It's no wonder that when we applied for a license last year, Lychee Terrace inserted a pole and pried away our license, if we apply for this photo now, hehe, they are definitely not our opponent of Director Li. ”

"The new talent show on Lychee Channel is in the same schedule as us, I don't know if this show can beat them!"

"Alas, it's hard to say! They teamed up with Ouch Video to produce, it is still a very gimmicky hip-hop rap, it is said that the production cost of the program has been 200 million, and they also invited the hottest little king Ye Tao as a mentor, and the production began a month ago, even before the name of the program was decided, it has been spread on the Internet, and their respective insiders have been exposed, attracting passers-by. ”

Just as everyone was talking, the door of the conference room was pushed open, and a production director from Mango Channel walked in and shouted, "Quiet! Director Li is coming soon, ready to welcome!"

Everyone immediately sat up straight and prepared to applaud.

After waiting for less than half a minute, Li Zhifan's figure appeared at the door of the conference room.

As soon as I saw his face, the conference room erupted in applause.

Li Zhifan walked in the door, came to the most central position, shook hands with Huang Tianhai and several high-level leaders of Mango Terrace, and then turned to everyone below and said, "Everyone, stop, listen to me!"

The conference room fell silent all of a sudden, and everyone pricked up their ears and posed very seriously to listen to the lecture.

"Before I come up with this idea, I want to ask everyone what are the shortcomings of those popular variety shows at the moment!"

Li Zhifan's tone was steady, but he said undoubtedly.

The people below look at each other, if you want to talk about the shortcomings, then the sea is gone, you don't have to think about it, you can say a lot of negative comments from netizens on the Internet.

But they don't understand Li Zhifan's intentions, is it really just as simple as talking about ills?

It won't be that after they finish talking about the shortcomings, Li Zhifan will ask the new program to completely eliminate these shortcomings!

Many of the people present are veterans of variety shows, and they know some unspoken rules that must exist in the variety show industry, even if netizens scold them to death, they have to do this.

There are still some bloody episodes, which must also exist, otherwise how to hype and publicize?

"Don't be restrained!"

Li Zhifan smiled faintly, "Say whatever you want! Including our Mango Channel's variety show, this must be the one that everyone knows best, right? I believe that many people have gone online to watch the negative comments of our station's programs, and they must have a lot of experience." ”

Seeing that no one stood up to speak, Huang Tianhai was the first to speak: "That's it, I'll set an example, I'll say a few points first, the first point I want to say is the shady problem, we do variety shows, in fact, sometimes there is really no way to offend some people, and their energy is likely to make the entire program group free! So there is no way, sometimes we can only pinch our noses and eat, and do things that are sorry for our conscience!"

All the staff below nodded, agreeing with what Huang Tianhai said, for them, this kind of thing will face three grievances, the grievances of being threatened, the grievances of those artists who have been damaged because of shady scenes, and more importantly, the grievances of facing the audience's accusations.

"Good!"

Li Zhifan applauded, "What Director Huang said is very important, let's write him down." ”

As he spoke, Li Zhifan picked up the pen, turned around and wrote down the two big words "shady" on the whiteboard behind him.

"Director Huang, please continue to talk about the second one!" Li Zhifan turned his head and said after finishing writing.

"Hmm!" Huang Tianhai said, "The second thing I want to say is the bloody bridge, when we conceived a program, we couldn't help but bring the bloody scene that is most likely to move the audience in the drama into the show, although it will be criticized by some audiences, but we know that with these bridges, our program can have a propaganda explosion, a hype gimmick, and even some sensational bloody bridges, which can also capture the tears of many audiences." ”

"Bloody bridge!" Li Zhifan said as he wrote these four words on the whiteboard.

Huang Tianhai didn't wait for Li Zhifan to finish writing this time, so he continued: "The third and most important point is humility! Many times the shady scenes are not because of the big names of the guests, but because our program team is too humble, from the director, producer, and even to every fixed MC, in order to make the guests happy, in order to have a good relationship with these people, and we can invite them to do shows in the future, we have to make some compromises. The drama of humility, we could have easily won, it was very difficult to play deliberately, and even lost, I empathize with this, and I have watched it leave with satisfaction several times, but my heart is longer than short. ”

This time, Li Zhifan did not write the words "humility", but wrote the words "lose the spirit of the game".

Humility is not a bad thing, especially in reality shows, some humility does come from the hearts of the guests.

However, once this kind of humility is overflowing, it becomes a bad thing, losing the spirit of the game, playing games seriously, and the heart of fighting is gone, thinking that you have gained a good reputation, but in fact, you have lost the original intention of every game.

"Okay, I'll just talk about these three! ”

After Huang Tianhai finished speaking, he glanced back at the whiteboard, and when he saw the six words "lose the spirit of the game", he was obviously stunned, and felt that Li Zhifan's writing was more appropriate than his "humility".

With Huang Tianhai taking the lead, the later speeches are much bolder.

"I think the most unbearable thing is that the lines of the show are dramatized, and some programs are even equipped with screenwriters who write every sentence for the actors in front of the camera. ”

"I don't like the show to be too straightforward, it should be like a brain-burning suspense drama, so that people can't see clearly, can't figure out and guess the final ending, which is interesting. ”

"Haha, you're still immersed in the production of "Star Detective" and haven't come back to your senses, right?"

"Yes, yes, in fact, editing is the most hateful, reality show, what kind of screenwriter do you want!"

"Look at what you said, we're looking for you to mess with you, let's call the director, okay? We don't write lines, we write the story outline and the rules of the game!"

"But sometimes you do ask the guest to say some of the lines you wrote!"

"That, that, that's the director's problem, the producer's problem, can you blame us? I don't want to work lightly? I just want to make funny jokes for those artists every day?"

“……”

The conference room suddenly became a debate room, because every line had been sprayed with shady curtains, lighting, props, and stage work team were not prepared enough to be scolded, and too luxurious (product placement or something), and when someone pointed out some of their problems, they immediately fought back.

But none of their groups can scold the choreographer and director team, and the small lines slipped and slipped away, and they were angry when they said it.

Li Zhifan stood on the stage, looked at the people below with a smile, and no matter how chaotic their quarrel was, when he heard a derogatory word, he wrote one on the whiteboard.

What game content is empty and false, the plot is embarrassing, and celebrities who have no sense of variety show are invited to come just for fame, and the wrong figures are to hype up CP in order to create topics, especially male and female CPs.

Li Zhifan wrote them on the whiteboard one by one, and the last whiteboard was almost out of writing, so he knocked on the table and said, "Okay, everyone be quiet!"

In an instant, the audience was silent, and everyone sat down instantly.

It's like a student going to class.

Li Zhifan pointed to these words on the whiteboard and said: "This is the problem that we can all see, some problems are very small, some problems are big, some you say they are essential, and some you say they are forced, but here, I want to tell you that this time we are going to do this show, none of the above problems are there!"

"Huh?"

"Impossible!"

"None of that, so what are we going to do?"

"Yes! It's okay to say that there are no fixed lines for the guests, but if you don't even have a plot, what kind of variety show do you do, it's just a singing talent show and a routine. ”

"yes, if we don't have product placement, how can we sell it for money? ”

“……”

Hearing the following rebuttals, Li Zhifan clapped his hands: "Listen to me, I don't mean it, I don't mean that we don't design it, let the guests imagine, they want to form a CP group CP, they want to wear a character design, and the story plot and game rules are like this, we can design it, but the guests can not follow our coming, toss casually in the show, as long as the ultimate goal can be achieved, even if the studio is dismantled, it doesn't matter, the abbreviation is just two words: nonsense!"

"Nonsense?"

This time, even Huang Tianhai was stunned, although he felt that it was not practical for Li Zhifan to solve all these problems, but he was very idealistic, but when he heard what he said later, he was a little speechless.

If you're messing around, what kind of variety show are you doing?

Wouldn't it be nice to have a bunch of celebrities locked up in a room and let them mess around?

Li Zhifan took out the plan he had prepared and handed it to the assistant on the side: "Go print it and send one copy to each person." ”

Then, Li Zhifan turned around and erased all the words on the whiteboard, and wrote four words sonorously - extreme challenge!
