Chapter 42 Program Preparation
With the signing of the licensing contract, Pearl Satellite TV soon started the preparations for the 'Era Show'. As the planner and deputy PD of this variety show, Lu Wenbin needs to participate in the preparation of the show.
Fortunately, the leaders of this variety show Pearl Satellite TV station also attach great importance to it, and the person in charge of the variety show department is Chu Xuan's father, so the corresponding preparations will be launched soon. As the planner, Lu Wenbin needs to write the scripts of the first three issues.
In order to facilitate work and at the same time give Chu Xuan more opportunities to exercise, Lu Wenbin finally lived in Chu's house and wrote a script with Chu Xuan. For this opportunity, Chu Xuan naturally knew that it was very rare.
Seeing that Lu Wenbin quickly wrote out the script of the first issue, Chu Xuan was also surprised: "Fifth brother, the speed at which you write the script is too fast, right?
What's so surprising about this? I wrote the plan for this show, and I naturally know the specific recording process. In fact, the script of this show is not important, the most important thing is to see the live performance of the host and guests.
Originally, according to my opinion, some audience members could be invited to participate in the first recording, so that the atmosphere of the scene would be more lively. It's just that judging from the current situation, it is estimated that the host still needs to be given more time for the guests to run in.
It's just that this script can't be fully finalized for the time being. Specifically, it depends on which guests can be invited by the Pearl Channel. Whether this show can be good depends on whether the interaction between the host and the guests can be vivid and interesting.
In short, for this variety show, you just need to grasp the requirements I told you before, and pay attention to the control of the atmosphere during the recording. Then the recorded effect is believed to be not too bad. The first three issues can only be counted as trial recordings!'
According to the division of labor arrangement, Lu Wenbin, as the planner, needs to participate in the early recording and write the recording script of the first three episodes. As for the host and guests of the program, Pearl TV is also considering screening.
As the planner, Lu Wenbin only needs to tell the chief PD in charge of the recording and Chu Xuan, so that they know where the key points and essence of this 'era show' need to be grasped. I believe that even if he is not there in the later stage, there will be no problems.
After all, the leaders of Mingzhu Station attach great importance to this variety show, and I believe that the staff who will be selected for recording at that time should also be experienced recording teams. As long as it's recorded on the track, it doesn't matter if he has him or not.
At least for Lu Wenbin, he planned this variety show, more in the hope of making some fame in the TV circle. In this way, if you cooperate with major TV stations in the future, there will be no situation where no one will pay attention to it.
When Lu Wenbin stayed at Chu Xuan's house, he tried his best to teach Chu Xuan the key points of the production of this variety show and the elements of writing the script. Pearl TV is also preparing for the stage of the new show, as well as the host and guest candidates.
Compared with the era show of another time and space, it is divided into five generations of guests. In this time and space era show, Lu Wenbin only gave four years, which are from the 20s to the 50s.
In this era, it refers more to the age of the guests. Although there is also a Gregorian calendar in this time and space, for many people in the Yanhuang Empire, they are more accustomed to using the Yanhuang calendar.
It is divided into four age stages, and it basically covers Yanhuang Entertainment from its inception to the present. After all, for many people in the Yanhuang Empire, the era of watching the first sound black-and-white TV series is about fifty years ago.
Although some adjustments have been made to the form, Lu Wenbin also spent some effort when compiling the script. Some of Yan Huang's early classic works and songs were found by Lu Wenbin as a script for questioning.
Even if I have the video recorded in my head about the 'Era Show' as a reference, the problem is that the entertainment histories of the two time and space are different, and it is impossible to be lazy and work as a porter directly, so you must spend time doing more homework.
But even so, Chu Xuan's ability to write scripts so efficiently was indeed admired by Chu Xuan. Even Father Chu, who was preparing for the recording studio, was very surprised to see Lu Wenbin, who had made the first three episodes of the script in less than two days.
After reading the script of the show, Chu Xingyong also sighed and said: "Wen Bin, it seems that you really put some effort into planning this variety show." There are some songs and TV series on it, even if I only have some impressions!"
According to what I told you earlier, the recording of the first three episodes was more of a run-in process. Therefore, when inviting guests, it is best to explain the situation to the guests in advance.
During the recording, if I am not satisfied with the interaction between the host and the guest, I will temporarily interrupt the recording. There are three phases of running-in, and then find some enthusiastic audiences to cooperate, and the on-site effect should be better. ’
According to Lu Wenbin's program setting, this is a variety show that celebrities and ordinary people can participate in. From the perspective of audiences in four generations, recall the film, television, songs and cultural inheritance of the Yanhuang Empire in the past forty or fifty years.
Only when the audience can watch a variety show and be able to substitute for it, can the show be truly recognized by the audience. According to Lu Wenbin's requirements for this show, that is, 'it should be both good-looking and fun'. This is easy to say, but it is not easy to do!
You are the chief planner of the show, and you are the deputy PD, as long as you think about the effect of the show, I believe the station will not say anything. As for the guests from previous issues, we are currently in contact.
It's just that judging from the current situation, I'm afraid I can't contact any well-known artists. For this new variety show, many artists will have concerns. However, we will try to invite some well-known artists. ’
Faced with Chu Xingyong's promise, Lu Wenbin shook his head and said, "Uncle, for the selection of guests, don't pay too much attention to the other party's fame. For guests in the forties and fifties, you can pick some guests who were famous in the early years.
The guests of these two eras, if they have not become famous until now, and are still in the entertainment industry, I believe they will be happy to accept such an invitation. After all, the most important thing for an artist is to need exposure.
Even if we are a new variety show, as long as they perform well, we don't mind letting them be regular guests for a few more episodes. As for the guests of the twentieth generation, you can consider some newcomers who are just rising in popularity, and they will not refuse.
As for the artists of the thirtieth generation, you can focus on selecting artists who have a good relationship with your station and perform well in the 'Happy Family'. On the contrary, the host is extremely important, how did the station decide?"
After listening to Lu Wenbin's suggestion on selecting guests, Chu Xingyong sighed again in his heart that Lu Wenbin really understands the entertainment industry very thoroughly. As Lu Wenbin said, the most important thing for celebrities is exposure.
The more popular an artist is, the more they appear on television. On the other hand, if you can't see an artist on TV and the media once a year, this kind of artist can also be called an out-of-fashion artist.
When it comes to the selection of hosts, Chu Xingyong did not hide it: "The station has not yet been decided! However, according to the intention of the station leader, he still plans to choose from the happy family and the host team in the station." Do you have any candidates?"
'There's one!, but whether it's suitable or not, we have to record it to find out. This variety show has high requirements for the host's control and responsiveness. After all, he has to interact with eight guests, and he can't hold up the scene without a little level. ’
'Who do you think will do?'
In the happy family, the one who often plays the male protagonist. I think he has good eloquence and reflexes. It's just that he is the host of a variety show alone, and I don't know if he can survive it. ’
In Lu Wenbin's view, there are a lot of hosts on Pearl Channel. But this is a variety show, and the host must have a certain humorous temperament. And this Cheng Ou, in Lu Wenbin's opinion, is also more joyful in terms of image.
After listening to Lu Wenbin's recommendation, Chu Xingyong said in surprise: "Cheng Ou, he picks the beam, it's not very reliable, right?"
That's just my personal opinion! Okay, I'll know if I verify it when I try to record it. Anyway, the first three episodes of recording are more about finding feelings for the guests and the host. I feel that I have found it, and the next show will be easy to record. ’
When I go to Taili tomorrow, I'll find out about this Cheng Ou. ’
When he received a call from Chu Xingyong the next day, Chen Ou, who was distressed by the imminent suspension of the show, also seemed very surprised. When he learned that Lu Wenbin recommended him to be the host of the new variety show, Chen Ou also seemed very surprised and grateful.
'Let me be the host?'
However, whether you can be the host depends on your ability. On the side of the station, two hosts have already been selected, and there are three candidates for you. In the end, who can get on it depends on the effect of the program when it is recorded.
I asked you for your personal opinion, and whether you want to challenge this position. After all, you are also an old man in the variety show department, and you have also served as a variety show MC for a period of time, and you can be considered to meet the conditions. ’
'Thank you, Director, I'm willing to take on the challenge!'
Cheng Ou, who has been in the variety show department for many years and is also a role in the 'Happy Family', knows very well that this is an opportunity. If he can seize this opportunity, maybe it will be the beginning of a real fame for him!
