Chapter 48: A Food Melodrama

"Xiaolin, are you misunderstanding? I want to ask the two of you to do a food show, what do you want the outdoor shooting team to do?" Mr. Xiao said with a smile. Although it felt a little unreliable, Mr. Xiao still decided to ask Lin Yi what the planning content was.

"Why can't you cook food outdoors?" Lin Yi said with a smile, "My plan is not only to put it outdoors, but also to add the plot and shoot it into a series of sitcoms around the theme of food." Well, for example, we can make a show about grilled fish, then set a scene, in a small river in the suburbs, a down-and-out general who was chased by the enemy, seriously injured and hungry and thirsty, and he was unable to flee, at this time he met a peasant girl, the girl helped him catch a fish from the river, made a fire and cooked the fish for him to eat, the general ate the grilled fish, felt very delicious, and his spirits were greatly lifted, he killed the pursuers, and gathered the scattered troops, and finally won the victory. Of course, the plot is just a carrier, and the real main content is the process of grilling the fish, filming in great detail, and even bringing text to describe the production steps......"

Xiao Ruyu frowned slightly, with a serious state of thought, I have to say that Lin Yi's plan is very interesting, integrating the plot and cooking together, so that it will be completely different from ordinary food shows, standing in the kitchen in the same way and saying that even if you can say flowers again, the audience will already be aesthetically tired. And with a bit of storyline, coupled with the steps of making dishes, the perfect combination will make people watch with relish.

In fact, when the audience watches food shows, few of them follow the cooking, but more just want to see the cooking process and have a good time. Then the cooking process that is loaded into the storyline will only make people feel more psychologically satisfied after seeing the delicious food made!

Feasible!

Xiao Ruyu quickly made a judgment, after this show is made, it will definitely be popular, at least more popular than most food shows!

It's just that if you want to achieve the effect described by Lin Yi, I'm afraid that the production budget will be really high, and one hundred thousand yuan per episode is definitely not enough - for example, the story he just said, even if there is no big scene, only the more important generals, peasant girls and symbolic enemies who came out to search for the general, and a few subordinates who were summoned when the general counterattacked, this scene also has to be played by more than a dozen people, personnel are on the one hand, costumes, props and sets, all have to spend money!

In addition, to do food programs, the requirements for picture quality are quite high, high-definition cameras are a must, but also professional videographers and lighting engineers, in order to shoot the food beautifully, people have an appetite to watch, not to mention that it is more difficult to shoot outdoors.

After all, one issue is a melodrama, and each issue must have a new story, and full-time copywriting must be indispensable, and to make a sitcom, there must almost be a film and television drama crew, such as costumes, makeup, props, recording, editing, post-special effects, etc., which is a lot of expenses......

The most crucial question is that in this way, it is obviously impossible to guarantee that one issue a day will be achieved! If it is to be made into a weekly issue, how will the schedule be arranged? I obviously have a schedule between 11:30 and 12 o'clock from Monday to Friday, and if I want to make this film, it is best to arrange it to be broadcast on Saturday and Sunday nights.

Mr. Xiao is a little difficult, obviously it looks like a good plan, but it is too difficult to implement, and the risk is too great......

"If Xiao always feels that it can't be done, you can say it directly. Lin Yi waited for a long time, but didn't see Xiao Ruyu speak, so he said.

"Hehe, Xiaolin, I feel very good about your plan, I'm just a little embarrassed, if this show is put in the time slot that I am vacating now, I am a little wronged, after all, to do this show, the budget is very high, if it is placed in this time period, there are no ratings, I will lose money, hehe." Mr. Xiao said, "If this plan is done well, it can be put on the prime time of the weekend, but the food show is on the prime time, and there has never been such a precedent, and the station will definitely not agree to it......"

"In this way, then we can broadcast it in non-prime time first, if the ratings are good, I think it will be easier for the station to speak, right?" Lin Yi said with a smile, "As for the expenses, we can save a little bit and try to reduce expenses." If it really doesn't work, I can also invest a little bit in this project, and it can be regarded as sharing some pressure for Mr. Xiao, how about it?"

"Are you willing to invest?" Mr. Xiao flashed behind his glasses, obviously a little unconvinced that Lin Yi had this ability - a guy who is an online anchor, a guy who is noisy at this time with a salary of 1,000 yuan, how much money can he have?

"Hehe, I opened a chain of restaurants, and now the scale is not large, there are only five or six franchise stores for the time being, but the business is not bad. Lin Yi said with a smile.

In fact, Lin Yi is pure blowing, and now the liquid cash in his hand is less than 100,000 - he has invested more than 100,000 yuan to help his father open a store, and the franchise fee, brand usage fee and even the first batch of seasonings, noodles, etc., are all provided for free, and last month's profits are all taken in, and now the 100,000 in his hand is all turnover, and he has not deducted rent, salary or anything.

However, Lin Yi is confident that once this show is produced and broadcast, it will definitely be a hit, and this project can be completely mixed in, or it will reap considerable returns in a short time. So Lin Yi doesn't mind blowing a little bit at all, he really can't mortgage the company, with the sign of "Lin Ji Chinese Noodles" that has already played some fame in the food circle, it shouldn't be a problem to borrow hundreds of thousands.

"Chain restaurants, hehe, I just said that with your cooking skills, Xiaolin, you should be a real chef. Mr. Xiao praised and said, "What's the name of your chain restaurant?" I have to try it another day......

"Lin Ji Zhonghua noodles, Mr. Xiao shouldn't have heard of it, right?" Lin Yi said with a smile.

"Why haven't you heard of Chinese noodles?" Mr. Xiao said, "Isn't there one next to the TV station?" Since his house opened, I have been ordering his takeaway at noon every day, and it turned out to be Xiaolin...... No, it's Mr. Lin, your shop?"

"To be exact, that's a franchise store, hehe. Lin Yi said with a smile.

"Mr. Lin is so young, but his ability is so powerful, I am more relieved to cooperate with you. Mr. Xiao smiled, "Okay, then let's try? I'll go back and let people follow Mr. Lin's plan to make a complete plan, and then let's discuss it carefully, if it's feasible, let's start cooperating!"
