Chapter 107: Sports Program

"Fan Cheng, isn't it too risky to do sports variety shows!?" When he came out of the TV station, Cheng Gaoge asked impatiently.

"Uncle Cheng, you are really confident in me, you can't help but ask now. Fan Cheng smiled.

That's right, Cheng Gaoge's ability to endure so far is indeed very powerful.

Sports variety shows are a very difficult subject in China.

The vast majority of athletes are not good at expressing themselves in front of the camera.

Even some athletes themselves feel that as long as they do their jobs, they don't need to be in the media in the accident world.

This is a big mistake.

Modern sports are also a kind of performance, to put it bluntly, if you are strong enough, strong enough to be at the top of the world, and it is in a popular sport, such as basketball and football, then you will naturally be followed, even if you don't care about the media.

But not all sports are basketball football.

Table tennis, swimming, diving, snowboarding, weightlifting, track and field...... Most of the time, these sports don't have much influence and attention, and some don't even have a mature business operation system, and people usually only pay attention to a period of time every four years, and the vast majority of attention is only champions.

That's why there is so much news that not top athletes live very hard lives after retirement.

But the TV industry is an opportunity.

Most of the traditional sports are boring, people are actually concerned about the competition and victory, at this time, if you can add other clothes to the traditional sports, if you can make the sports interesting, or even make people interesting, then it is possible to achieve some people.

In particular, there are many people who are simply poor after retiring, selling medals, setting up stalls, years and poverty have worn away all their self-esteem, in order to live, they are willing to do anything, for such athletes, TV may not be able to achieve everything, but at least it gives people some hope.

"Do you really have the confidence to do this?" asked Cheng Gaoge.

"I said try it not only for them, but also for you, let's all try it to see how far this kind of show can go now. Fan Cheng said.

"But even if you try, the investment will not be less. Cheng Gao sang.

If nothing else, a new studio setup is worth a lot.

"It's better than just doing a quarter or even half a year, isn't it?"

The final program of this trip is not very satisfactory, but after all, it was not empty-handed, as for Song Yulong who snatched their time slot, Fan Cheng remembered it thoroughly, he can't do anything to Song Yulong now, but this matter is not over, the things on TV, solve them with TV, one day Fan Cheng will completely defeat Song Yulong.

In Fan Cheng's opinion, Song Yulong and him are not of the same level, so Song Yulong occupies his prime file, Fan Cheng thinks it is a pure coincidence, what he doesn't know is that this matter is not a coincidence.

In the past few days in northern Jiangsu, in fact, Song Yulong has been paying attention to Fan Cheng's news behind his back, and his understanding of Fan Cheng is by no means as little as Fan Cheng imagined.

For example, this time, when Fan Cheng arrived in the magic capital, he knew Fan Cheng's whereabouts through some friends, and he was already in the magic capital.

Originally, he was still a little worried, although he was famous, but he had no influence in the magic capital station, but he didn't expect that the magic capital station did not agree to Fan Cheng's application for a new show in the end, and Fan Cheng's next action was revealed, so Song Yulong immediately decided to go north to block Fan Cheng!

In fact, Song Yulong and Fan Cheng have no hatred, but it doesn't matter if there is hatred or not, in Song Yulong's opinion, he actually has no selfish intentions in doing this, but does it for the country and the healthy development of the entertainment industry.

In Song Yulong's view, Fan Cheng's series of variety shows are heretical, although there are some merits in the show, but the overall idea and the purpose of the program production are very bad, although the show works very well and the audience likes it, but if it continues to be done in this style, in his opinion, it is not conducive to the development of domestic variety shows, and domestic variety shows should be healthier and more uplifting.

Based on this idea, Song Yulong will come to stop Fan Cheng from getting the good time slot of eight o'clock on Sunday.

After letting go of failure, Fan Cheng began to prepare a new sports variety show after returning to Yangji.

How to do sports variety shows, Fan Cheng basically has no one on his side who understands, he has to start from scratch.

First of all, the main framework of the program, Fan Cheng initially set a three-hour broadcast time, including one and a half hours of studio photography and one and a half hours of exterior scenes.

Although each part is only broadcast for an hour and a half, when it comes to actual recording, at least about three hours of programming are recorded in the studio, and as for the exterior part, it takes at least a full day to start.

After determining the general framework, Fan Cheng and the others began to determine the main participants of the show.

The artists of the Yoshimoto Troupe are a must, not that Fan Cheng deliberately inserted his own people into the show, the variety shows in China so far, the artists of the Yoshimoto Troupe and the artists outside are basically at two completely different levels, although in Fan Cheng's opinion, it is still far behind, but these people in the Yoshimoto Troupe at least have the appearance of professional funny artists, and they can also have a more interesting reaction to the stalks thrown out.

Once you've finalized the funny part, it's time to finalize the sports participants.

The gold medalists who have just returned from the Olympic Games are sure to be invited, there are two gold medalists in northern Jiangsu this year, one is Lin Bao in women's wrestling, and the other is Shan Xiaohua in women's table tennis, in addition to these two, there are three silver medalists and six bronze medalists in northern Jiangsu, in addition, there are also basketball, football, volleyball players, etc., these are in the invitation list of the new program.

However, as for whether everyone can be invited, everyone, including Fan Cheng, is a little worried.

The focus is mainly on these two gold medals.

In the domestic sports circle, gold medals and athletes who are not gold medals are basically two worlds, bronze and silver medals may not be so famous, but gold medals basically ensure a lifetime of stability.

And with the domestic atmosphere, most athletes still think that it is good to practice their own work, TV or something is for celebrities, always on TV, star-like athletes are even despised, and now they have just won the gold medal is the most valuable time in their sports careers, it must be very difficult to invite.

As for the silver and bronze medals, it is easier than the gold medals.

This is an invitation from a sports star in the studio, and as for the outside of the studio, it is easier to invite in Fan Cheng's plan, because he plans to invite retired athletes for photography outside the studio, and retired athletes do not invite champion artists.

In addition to the athletes and the people from the Yoshimoto troupe, he plans to invite one or two more stars as embellishments, and when this kind of show is made, the budget for inviting stars is much less, and the extra budget can basically be used on the set and hardware.

Contact the artist, then find a location, set up a studio, and polish the script...... A variety show of a few hours, in fact, the preparation time often takes hundreds or thousands of hours, and the time before and after is as long as several months, which is the normal rhythm of variety show production, as for the shows that Fan Cheng did before, they are actually very simple works, and they are not qualified in his world.

On Fan Cheng's side, there are very few TV station program groups in the initial period, so the station can go all out to do the target thing, and in the preparation period of several months for other TV stations, it was compressed to more than two months to complete.

As for the investment, the biggest investment is the location and the set in the studio, in addition to Fan Cheng's two singles have been the first share, another relatively large investment comes from the North Group, Fan Cheng is also taken care of a lot by this group, such an outsider seems to be a tentative program, but it is broadcast on TV stations outside the three northern provinces, but the North Group has given a pretty good sponsorship, of course, the North Group is not without reason, before Fan Cheng sold the escape room game to the North Group, in the past six months, there has been an escape whirlwind in the country, and the North Group has promoted this game very wellAfter successfully promoting its popularity, the North Group cooperated with the cinema chain in the south and successfully promoted the game to the national market.

The current escape room game, although the income is not particularly high for the time being, has begun to see sustainability, according to the Northern Group's estimates, the popularity of the escape room game in the next few years will be quite stable and gradually grow.

When Fan Cheng sold the escape room as a whole to the Northern Group, he asked for one million, which may have been a lot in the eyes of the Northern Group at that time, but who would have thought that the escape room would have such a good space for sustainable development.

The senior management of the North Group seems to have a long-term vision, or they are very optimistic about Fan Cheng and Fan Cheng's program, so there is such a high sponsorship.

These two months are still busy for Fan Cheng, and he is almost vomiting blood, especially in the layout of the location, after deciding to do this show, Fan Cheng almost returned to Yangji as soon as possible, and then he was busy designing the location and studio modeling, drawing pictures, and spending a lot of money to hire people to work around the clock......

The process of hiring people is not easy, everyone has a schedule, even if it is a show two months later, some people want to participate in the competition, some people just get married, and some people can't get in touch for a long time...... All sorts of problems have arisen during these two months, testing everyone who does the work.

Fortunately, two months later, they succeeded in doing it, on the location construction site, looking at the exterior scenery rising from the ground, Cheng Gaoge couldn't help but ask: "What if it fails?

In this regard, Fan Cheng smiled: " First of all, Su Beitai will not be so mentally retarded, they should be able to see the potential of this design, and there is, they can't see it, others can definitely see it, these sets are detachable, if it doesn't work here, they can be dismantled and transported to other places, and after my project is made, I will first show it to the director of the Northern Channel, if this plan is formed in the future, the North Group will be the largest sponsor and contractor, otherwise do you think that a mere TV station can start such a big plan?"
