Chapter 806 A New Term-Variety Movie

"You mean, bring 'Running Man' to the big screen?"

In the program group of "Running Man", Sister Yu, the chief planner, and the two chief directors looked at Mai Xiaoyu with their mouths wide open, like looking at a madman. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Mai Xiaoyu specially flew from Yanjing to Hangzhou to discuss with them, which is to shoot a variety show movie - "Run, Brother", and it is ready to be broadcast in next year's Chinese New Year.

"Mr. Mai, "Running Man" is a variety show."

"That's why I said to make a variety movie."

"Variety movie?"

I've never heard of that word!

Sister Yu and the two chief directors did not bother with this new term, and the new terms made by the cute people are not one or two.

From the earliest "costume idol drama" to the "online drama" at the beginning of this year, they are all new terms made by cute people, and they have caused a bunch of followers. This year's follow-up has even reached a new height, and the optical fiber media, which started with variety shows, even launched an online variety show based on the "online drama", referred to as "online variety", and the effect seems to be good.

"Mr. Mai, how are you going to shoot this variety show?" The female chief director asked tentatively.

"What you shoot on TV, you shoot on the movies. Of course, making a movie must follow the filming techniques of the movie, and the plot and plot may be changed, but the general framework remains the same, and tearing off the name tag is an eternal theme. ”

Tear off the nameplate......

With the popularity of "Run, Brother" on the screen and the Internet, the movement factor in the audience's body has been awakened. In particular, the most intense and suspenseful game of "tearing off famous brands" in the show also caused the audience to imitate it.

The media also reported on how the brand-name game in "Running Man" was loved by the public.

Universities in many cities held the "Tearing Famous Brand" competition, which was a college club activity, which aroused heated discussions among teachers and students of the school.

In some shopping malls, in order to attract business, "tearing off famous brands" competitions were held in shopping malls for several days, and the number of applicants was overwhelming every day.

There are also some ordinary audiences, who are itchy and call friends, and try their skills in their own communities and gardens.

Even elementary and middle school students take advantage of the recess to get together and play with famous brands.

Mai Xiaoyu was in the Sunshine Star City community, and he saw a group of half-sized children playing "tearing off famous brands" on the lawn of the community on the weekend, and they had a lot of fun. If someone's name brand is torn off, there will be a sound of "XXXout", which sounds quite formal!

Therefore, this time the "Running Man" movie naturally cannot be missing the link of "tearing off famous brands".

"Can there be a market for this kind of film?" Sister Yu asked uncertainly.

"Try it. Otherwise, we, as the producer, have full authority to fund and hire the program team as the producer, how about you earn production fees? ”

The female chief director, who was in charge of the on-set execution, immediately exclaimed, "That's not going to work! ”

Sister Yu smiled and nodded; "It's a cooperation, of course, it's a joint production by both sides."

"Aren't you guys not confident in movies?"

The female chief director smiled coquettishly: "But we have confidence in you, Mr. Mai." ”

Sister Yu made a decision directly: "It's decided." Anyway, this time "Running Man" has a bumper harvest, and there is nothing to say about ratings, advertising costs, brand, word-of-mouth, social repercussions, and the correctness of the direction, so the station must have no opinion. Mr. Mai, what is the budget? ”

"The production cost of more than 10 million is definitely enough, and the actors' salaries are all converted, and they don't receive dividends without getting paid."

Sister Yu was stunned for a moment, and then sighed: "You have such strong confidence in this movie?" But will they agree? ”

"I'll convince the artists of our company, it should be no problem, as for Ren Tianye and Wang Gulan, let them choose for themselves."

With the success of "Running Man", the value of seven hosts including Deng Chao and Yang Ying has risen, and their popularity and popularity have also exploded to varying degrees.

Among all the newcomers, the trio of Yang Ying, Chen Chichi and Zheng Kai "Love Apartment" has the fastest growth in popularity; Wang Gulan, a Xiangjiang artist who debuted for two or three years, has many fans in the mainland; And Ren Amano, who has had ups and downs in his acting career, with his strong body, as well as his blush and shyness in the face of female guests, gives people an image of a tough guy, but also a little more inexplicably cute, and tastes the taste of popularity for the first time in his life.

There was a website that made special statistics, and the male host of "Running Man", which is the most popular among female audiences, is not the funny and funny Deng Chao; is not Wang Baoqiang, who is "a lot of people who have gone bad"; is not the cheap Chen Chichi; is not Zheng Kai, who shows affection and sweetness with Yang Ying; It's not a weird Wang Gulan; It's Ren Amano, a tough guy who will be shy in the face of girls.

But!

Movies are different from TV series and variety shows, and they are much higher than TV series and variety shows.

Just like the model transforms into the entertainment industry, the coffee position is lowered by half a level to the first level, and the TV actor makes a movie, and the coffee position will also decline.

Ren Tianye and Wang Gulan's salary for filming the big movie "Running Man" is only hundreds of thousands, not to mention that the filming time of this movie is only one or two weeks.

"A week or two? So fast! ”

"Is it a variety show, it is created by the original team again, the routine is similar to before, the tacit understanding of various departments is high, and there is no need to run in with it. A week or two should be enough. ”

The male chief director in charge of the screenwriting team, who had not spoken much, couldn't help but speak: "If I talk to you like this, I can indeed finish filming in about ten days." But Mr. Mai, do you have to arrange it to be released on the 26th of next year, the first day of the Lunar New Year? ”

"This season of "Running Man" has a total of fifteen episodes, and it will be broadcast on January 16 next year. On the 23rd, a special period of the charm festival will be played, and the movie will be released on the 26th, is this connection not good? ”

Of course it's good.

With the help of the popularity of "Running Man" and the popularity of the Internet, taking advantage of the opportunity of the end of the first season to quickly launch the "Running Man" movie, which is very helpful for attracting audiences to buy tickets to watch the movie and pushing up the box office of the movie.

And the charm festival of the 23rd special issue can also promote the movie, which has a lot of benefits.

But here's the problem...... What about the script?

"Mr. Mai, you have to leave us enough time to write the script."

"Three days is enough."

"Three days?"

"Yes. Let's create together, the general theme framework and plot direction have been conceived, and three days is enough. “

The female director asked: "There are also advantages to a short shooting cycle, and it is easier to arrange the actors' schedules." ”

"Running Man" is on fire, and the actor's exposure, popularity, popularity, commercial value, and worth have gone up, and there are more announcements.

It's the end of the year again, and there are more announcements.

Not to mention Deng Chao and Wang Baoqiang, the two film and television coffees, that is, Yang Ying, Chen Chichi and Zheng Kai of the trio of "Love Apartment", received a notice of business activities for young people, and the notice fee in two or three days also reached six figures.

Why are more and more young people sharpening their heads and drilling into the entertainment industry?

After becoming famous, I really make money!

In a hurry, it was decided to shoot the big movie "Running Man", and the actor's schedule was a problem. It's good to say that the shooting time is short, and it will come out after squeezing; If the shooting time is long, it will inevitably cause conflicts in terms of schedule.

The seven hosts in the variety show are naturally the seven protagonists of the movie. The "five" under the cute people, after the start-up time is finalized, Mai Xiaoyu can let their agent squeeze out the schedule, as for Ren Tianye and Wang Gulan......

Even if the schedule conflicts, most of the two will agree to star in the "Running Man" movie.

Why?

Hehe.

No, Sister Yu asked: "Do you want to invite guests to make a big movie this time?" ”

"This depends on the script, but in my concept, I need to invite four or five guests."

"Or is it an invitation from Hong Kong and Taiwan?"

The corners of Mai Xiaoyu's mouth curled; "I suggest it, let the publisher recommend it."

Up to now, "Running Man" has been broadcast for eight episodes, with hot ratings, hot topics, and popular Internet hits, and "Running Man" has become a phenomenal variety show.

The seven regular hosts have benefited a lot, and their popularity has increased and they are quite sought after, and the invited guests have also gained something according to their respective sense of variety show and self-expression.

Just like the ignorant power of netizens said: I am used to seeing the glamorous lights of celebrities on the screen, and seeing the other side of them through "Running Man" has a down-to-earth feeling, which is very kind.

Tricky?

Spoof?

Out of the way?

Embarrassment?

Viewers love to watch!

Deng Chao has a funny mouth and pretends to be a school bully; Wang Baoqiang is sometimes silly and sometimes cunning; Ren Amano meets a tough guy of the same sex and is shy of the opposite sex; Yang Ying's beauty incarnates a female man; Chen Chichi carried out the "cheap" to the end; Zheng Kai was always hurt by women; Wang Gulan loves to tear girls and unique laughter......

The seven hosts let the audience see a different image of the artist, no longer as tall as on the screen before, but like ordinary people with flesh and blood.

The audience liked to hear about celebrities' embarrassment, spoofs, betrayals and other things, but the seven hosts did not lose fans because of the damage to their image, but won more love from the audience.

This result has made many celebrities dispel their worries and concerns, and begin to take "Running Man" seriously, considering the feasibility and importance of being down-to-earth.

A-list stars definitely don't care about being on "Running Man", but what about a first-line line?

Intangible benefits such as exposure, fans, popularity, and fame directly determine one's direct income.

The salaries of second-tier stars and second-tier stars are not the same!

Since mid-November, Sister Yu has received calls from friends in the circle one after another, asking about the guest position of "Running Man".

There are mainland artists who want to run men, and it's not one or two!

Some people even asked when the next season of "Running Man" would be broadcast, and whether one or two of the seven fixed hosts could be replaced.

The entertainment industry looks quite big, and sometimes it is very small, and some things can't be hidden from the old drivers in the circle.

Therefore, Ren Amano and Wang Gulan, regardless of whether the schedule is full or not, if they want to shoot the big movie "Running Man", they will definitely find time to participate in the shooting.

One of them was introduced by Tang Yan, and the other was recommended by the Emperor, and if the program team really wants to change the host, they must be selected from the two of them.

The other five?

Don't even think about it!

That's a cute artist!

The current program group is not as crowded as it was a few months ago, except for those first-line celebrities and superstars, other artists rarely refuse invitations as long as the schedule can be staggered.

However, the guests who filmed the "Running Man" movie this time are particular.

Because of the short preparation time, it will be released on January 26, and it is a challenge in terms of publicity.

In order to ensure the box office, it is definitely not enough for the distributor to rely on Hailian alone, and it is necessary to find a few. Most publishers have their own relationships, and letting publishers recommend guests is actually a personal favor.

That's it.

Time is limited, and the soldiers are fast.

Sister Yu went to report to the station leaders, and the two chief directors notified all departments of the program team to prepare.

Mai Xiaoyu followed the male director to the screenwriting team, communicated with the screenwriters, and seized the time to create the script.

Two hours later, Sister Yu came to the screenwriting team and brought good news.

The leaders of the station briefly met, and quickly made a decision - shoot, shoot with cute people!

"Sister Yu, then please be in charge of the preliminary operation, I will try to get the script out as quickly as possible."

Approval, preparation for the crew, fundraising, location selection, contact actors, contact venues, contact distributors...... There are a lot of things to do in the early stage.,Replace it with a cute operation.,It takes a long time.,But Blueberry Satellite TV with an official nature comes forward.,Many procedures can be simplified.。

Sister Yu said, "Teacher Mai, you come to my office first, I still have something I want to discuss with you." ”

followed Sister Yu to the office, and saw Sister Yu carefully closing the door and making herself a cup of coffee, Mai Xiaoyu quipped: "Sister Yu, I said that you are too old." ”

"If you were my brother, I would beat you eight times a day." Sister Yu scared Mai Xiaoyu a sentence, and the words changed, "You seem to have said that variety shows are the trend of the times in the future?" ”

"I didn't tell you, did I?"

"Well, it was said when Mr. Liang of your company came to our station to discuss the cooperation of "Running Man". But I heard from a friend that you have long asserted the future trend of variety shows, and Mr. Liang also listened to you, right? ”

Mai Xiaoyu took a sip of coffee, scratched his head and asked, "Sister Yu, with our relationship, do you still need to beat around the bush?" ”

"Okay, then I'll get straight to the point. "Running Man" is very successful, our station attaches great importance to it, and other TV stations also attach great importance to ......"

The success of "Running Man" caused a sensation more than the original "If You Are Honest, Do Not Disturb".

"If You Are the Truth, Do Not Disturb" just revived the marriage and blind date show in a chicken position, and "Running Man" not only ran out of the spring of outdoor reality shows, but also ran out of entertainment elements.

Inviting retired sports stars to appear on the program, popularizing various sports to the audience, and increasing the audience's attention to many domestic sports, which not only helps the ratings and word of mouth, but also gives the program the correctness of direction that other programs do not have.

The ratings of "Running Man" exploded, and the advertising sponsorship soared, and the sensation was close to Mango TV's "Supergirl" that year. However, there have been voices criticizing the vulgarity of "Running Man" in the mainstream media, and no one has put the hat of "ratings only" on the head of "Running Man".

Why?

In addition to the public welfare and efforts made at the beginning of the finalization of the "Running Man" project, it is also related to Mai Xiaoyu's suggestion that the program team invite sports stars......

Sister Yu talked a lot, and Mai Xiaoyu tilted her head and said, "You guys don't want to buy out the copyright, right?" ”
