Chapter 26: Spoiler Crisis
Ou Qianjia in Shenzhen.
"This guy, I didn't expect to really change this show," Ou Qian got rid of her appearance as a strong woman outside, sat on the sofa in a very kawaii pajamas, held a fluffy rag doll in her arms, and said to herself as she watched "The Masked Singer" on TV.
When she was still adapting "Golden Melody Fishing" on Guangshen Satellite TV before, because she said at the time that she wanted to learn from the above mask, she deliberately watched the "Masked Singer" singer program at that time, and the rules were simply sideways to guess the identity of the singer, rather than enjoying the singer's voice, but now it seems that Tang Lin has grasped the key point.
As a producer, Ou Qian can sensitively feel that the watchability has been greatly improved, if there is a singer who has won many consecutive periods in the future, the ratings that will explode at that time will definitely be very impressive, and both the show and the singer will be hotly discussed by the whole people, I have to say that Tang Lin's hand is very beautiful, and she has to admire the show for daring to trust Tang Lin so much.
Sure enough, just like Ou Qian's thoughts, even if it was the first issue of "The Masked Singer" after the adaptation, the next day in the Goryeo Special Administrative Region, including several neighboring provinces next to it, has already aroused heated discussions among many netizens, and highly appreciated the change in the rules of this show, many netizens directly claimed that this is the real "The Masked Singer", which used to be just a big fight between the judges and the audience.
At the same time, many viewers speculated in the major comment areas about which masked singer would finally stand out, whether he could challenge the successful 'Blossoming Black-bone Chicken' and so on.
Major media also used a large number of pen and ink chapters to praise the new reform of "The Masked Singer", and also congratulated the new issue of "The Masked Singer" for winning the first place in the ratings of variety shows in the Korean Special Administrative Region with a super high rating of 2.0145%.
For a while, the limelight of "The Masked Singer" can be described as unparalleled.
It's just that a netizen with the screen name 'Singer Spoiler' suddenly appeared on the Internet, bluntly saying that he was one of the audience at the recording site, and also announced the recording results of the next two episodes, and many netizens thought he was just bragging, but he swore to reply later, and finally posted a photo of himself before entering the Korean TV station, the kind that was coded by me, but it also made many people slowly believe it, and more and more netizens participated in the discussion.
The 8th floor of Korea TV.
"Director Li, Director Li, there is something wrong with our program on the Internet," Fan Yuwei, director of the News and Publicity Department of the program group, suddenly ran impatiently to Li Haoge, who was still supervising the editing of the sample film, and said.
When Li Haoge heard this, his brows furrowed, and he said to Fan Yuwei: "Something's wrong? ”
Fan Yuwei swallowed his saliva and moistened his throat and said: "Director Li, that's the case, there is a guy on the Internet called 'Singer Spoiler' who hyped up the recording of our later program on the Internet, and now many netizens on the Internet have begun to believe what he said." ”
"Spoilers?"
Li Haoge's face became a little ugly, you must know that if the plot is predicted in advance, then the suspense of the show will be lost, knowing that the singer he supports is eliminated, then the audience will definitely not continue to watch the show in front of the TV, which means that this part of the ratings will be lost, which is what Li Haoge does not want to see.
"Is there any spoiler for the episode recorded a few days ago?" Li Haoge continued to ask Fan Yuwei.
"Well, Director Li, the content of the two episodes we recorded has been completely spoiled, including what song the singer sings, which two masked singers are playing against, and which masked singer is promoted, all of which have been spoiled," Fan Yuwei said, only feeling that his throat was very dry as he spoke.
As the head of the Ministry of Information and Publicity, he knows that this kind of problem can be big or small, and the most serious thing may be that the ratings of the program will fall to the bottom in the next three weeks, because everyone knows what the outcome of this episode of the program will be, and only those who do not know, want to listen to the songs, and the audience who have always been loyal fans of the program will watch it on time.
Li Haoge paced back and forth in the small space of the editing room, his face was very solemn, but soon he said to Fan Yuwei: "You contact the major platforms to delete these remarks as much as possible, and then let the technical department see if you can find the person 'King of Singer Spoilers', our program team will retain the responsibility for its legal prosecution, and will also be listed on the blacklist of program invitations forever, I will discuss with others here to see if there is any remedy." ”
"Director Li, the login IP of the spoiler has already been checked by the technology, and it is the IP of an Internet café, so ......" Fan Yuwei said with some hesitation.
When Li Haoge heard this, he could only sigh and said faintly: "Well, I know, then you should try to contact the heads of the major platforms and delete these remarks as much as possible to avoid the problem from expanding even more." ”
"Okay, Director Li, I'll go now," Fan Yuwei replied and left the editing room.
Subsequently, after Li Haoge explained a few words to the people in the editing room, he also left the editing room in a hurry, and for a while, the entire program team moved, and finally even Ding Chengjun, the music director who was only responsible for music arrangement, was involved.
On the eighth floor, the large conference room of "The Masked Singer".
"Director Li, do you mean to discard the previously recorded material and re-record it?" Cai Jiantong asked with a puzzled look at Li Haoge.
Li Haoge sighed and said: "I also know that this is a waste of resources, but at present, the only way I can think of a remedy is this, if you have a better way, then I haven't said it." ”
Ding Chengjun raised his hand at this time and said: "Director Li, I don't agree with your approach, I am also a singer, usually if it's okay, if the company has arranged a notice, it is difficult to arrange time to re-record it, and it is very difficult to arrange a new song, and it is required to be proficient in a short period of time, so I think this re-recording requirement is too difficult." ”
Ding Chengjun looked at everyone listening to him carefully, and didn't bother himself, before he continued: "Moreover, if you re-record, the result will be the same, it will be no different from being spoiled, it's just a different song, but if the result changes, it's not fair to the singers who have been promoted before." ”
Li Haoge frowned, thought for a while before nodding and said, "Director Ding's question is indeed very correct, but are we just doing nothing? It's rare that the ratings have risen a little, and they have been destroyed like this, I'm really unwilling!"
As he spoke, the angry Li Haoge slammed his fist on the conference table, which startled everyone in the conference room, but obviously no one would touch Li Haoge's moldy head at this time.
Ding Chengjun looked at the screen of his mobile phone and said to Li Haoge: " Director Li, in fact, the current situation may not be as bad as we imagined, although there have been a lot of spoilers in these issues, but the little bee sings a new song, which is also a big temptation for the audience, and the audience knows that the little bee won the king of singers with these new songs that have not been heard, which will also arouse the curiosity of many people, I just looked at the comments on the Internet, and many people are already asking what kind of songs the little bee sings, so we don't have to be too pessimistic now. ”
When Li Haoge heard this, the deep gully on his brows was slightly smoother, and he sighed and said: "I can only expect this, for the later recording, do you have any good suggestions to prevent such a situation?"
But at this time, Ding Chengjun's phone rang, picked it up and looked at it, but it was a call from the junior brother Tang Lin, but considering that it was still in a meeting, Ding Chengjun hung up the phone after hesitating.
"Director Ding, if you have something to do, you can leave first, it doesn't matter," Li Haoge said to Ding Chengjun, Ding Chengjun himself is a big star after all, and he can deign to come to the program group to serve as this director, Li Haoge is already very grateful, and he is embarrassed to use the regulations of ordinary employees to ask Ding Chengjun.
"It's okay, it's just my little junior brother who doesn't know where to go crazy called, I guess it's something wrong and came to me for help, such a big person, don't worry about him, hehe," Ding Chengjun shook his head and said with a smile.
"Tang Lin?" Li Haoge's eyes lit up, and he suddenly thought that he still had a strong player to use.
"Well, I'm just his little junior brother," Ding Chengjun rolled his eyes at Li Haoge, he didn't remember that he had told him which of his junior brothers.
"Hurry up, call Xiao Tang and ask him what is the matter, and then you said I was looking for him," Li Haoge chose to ignore Ding Chengjun's white eyes directly, and looked at Ding Chengjun very eagerly and said.
"Now?" Ding Chengjun looked at the staff in the conference room and confirmed with Li Haoge.
"Well, right now," Li Haoge nodded firmly.
"Well," Ding Chengjun got Li Haoge's confirmation, and after seeing that Li Haoge didn't want to laugh, he dialed Tang Lin's phone.
Tang Lin, who was about to continue practicing the song just now, heard the phone ringing, and hurriedly signaled the sparring band in the practice room to pause the movements in his hands, and waited for the practice room to be quiet again before walking outside the practice room to pick up the phone.
"Senior brother," Tang Lin was the first to greet him.
"Little junior brother, did you have anything to do with me just now?" I was in a meeting, so I didn't answer your phone," Ding Chengjun asked directly.
"It's okay, it's okay, it's okay for me to look for you, it's just that I'm having a good time outside now, so I'll give you a call to report your safety, so that you don't know what to say when the teacher asks you what I'm doing," Tang Lin came to a chair outside the practice room, sat down and said gracefully.
In fact, he is really happy these days, except that he sleeps a little less, because now his mind is full of songs, and he is basically singing in his dreams, which makes him look sluggish in the time outside of practice.
"That's it, if there is something that needs help from senior brother, you have to say directly, I'm not a roundworm in your stomach, I can't think of what kind of help you need," Ding Chengjun confirmed.
"That's really it, what else can I not do," Tang Lin said emphatically, still quite moved by the care in Ding Chengjun's tone.
"It's okay, by the way, Director Li has something to do with you, I'll let him tell you," After finishing speaking, Ding Chengjun directly gave the phone to Li Hao, a singer who had already come behind him.
"Director Li, is there something to do with me?" Tang Lin asked suspiciously, but at this time, it was no longer Ding Chengjun who answered the phone again.
"Yes, I have something to do with you," Li Haoge directly turned on the speakerphone and said to Tang Lin.
“…… Director Li, I don't know what you are looking for me?" After Tang Lin heard this voice, he quickly reacted, and now the person who was chatting with him on the other side had changed.
"Didn't you go online today?" Li Haoge asked Tang Lin rhetorically.
"No, I've been outside lately, and I'm not too free, what's wrong on the Internet?" Tang Lin complained in his heart about Director Li's pretending to be stupid.
"Well, now someone on the Internet has spoiled the content of our later programs, so now we are all a little anxious......" Li Haoge probably talked about the problem and the content discussed in the meeting just now with Tang Lin, and continued to ask: "Xiao Tang, I just want to ask you now to see if you have any good solutions." ”
After Tang Lin heard this, he thought for a while before saying: "Director Li, in fact, I think what my senior brother said is good, the effect of re-recording is really not good, and now I can only bite the bullet, but if I record later, I recommend recording once a week, editing it for post-production that week after recording, and then broadcasting it that week, so as to ensure the privacy of the program content to the greatest extent, even if someone wants spoilers, there will not be too much time to brew." ”
"Once a week?" Li Haoge seemed to ponder the benefits of doing so.
Tang Lin couldn't see Li Haoge's expression, thinking that he was asking himself how to operate, so he quickly replied: "Well, the first episode is recorded twice, the first round of eight into four is recorded in the first week, and the next three rounds are recorded in the second week, if you do this, you can not only reduce the possibility of being spoiled, but also be able to make corresponding adjustments in time according to the broadcast situation of the previous week, and the program team can also directly conduct a poll or something, which will bring a stronger sense of direct interaction to the audience." ”
Li Haoge nodded after hearing this, but soon frowned again and said: "It's just like this, will there be too little time left for editing and post-production?"
"Director Li, time is relative, as long as the editing team and post-production team of the program team are strong enough and have a clear division of labor, it is not impossible to produce a sample film in one night," Tang Lin said with a smile, he knows what it means to have more people to collect firewood and the flame is high.
"The problem is that the editing and post-production of our program team are not strong enough," Director Li frowned deeply, he knew that Tang Lin's suggestion was good, but the problem was in the editing and post-production.
"Director Li, your current program is a high-rated program with more than 2%, you can just talk to the station leader face-to-face for this kind of small problem, presumably this is not a difficult thing, right?" Tang Lin said very easily.
"Yes, I forgot that our show has become confident now, okay, I'll talk to the people in the station about it, thank you, Xiao Tang, and also, don't play bad outside, the ratings of the later show will depend on your hard work," Li Haoge said with a pun.
"Don't worry, if Director Li is useful to me, just say," Tang Lin also said with a smile.
