Chapter 124: Start a new show
"Fan Cheng, let me tell you openly and honestly, originally the family's property was to be distributed by our four brothers plus Aunt Li, but you are not at the same level as us now, so the brothers will take advantage of it, and we will take these hotels at home, and we promise that we will never point fingers at your TV station." Vange said.
"Of course it's no problem, we've talked about these before, but big brother, what I really want to ask is, have you ever considered letting Fang News enter the entertainment industry?"
"Sissi?" Fan Ge smiled bitterly: "Why haven't you thought about it, his mother has booked several times to interview with music companies, but this kid is very resistant to these, do you remember?" When she was 10 years old, she even ran away from home once, and that time her mother wanted her to shoot commercials. ”
Fan Cheng nodded, he did remember that time Fan Xiaoqian was really frightened, this girl has been very cute since she was a child, the treasures of all the people in the Fan family, especially Fan Cheng and Fan Zheng, heard that Qian Qian ran away from home, and they were all angry, and the family looked for it in the middle of the night, and finally it was the little girl that Fan Cheng found.
"After that time, we never mentioned letting her sing or do this business anymore, and we didn't even let her sing and perform before, but I didn't expect that these two parents didn't do it, but this girl is willing to listen to you."
"She didn't promise me either, she was just thinking about it." Fan Cheng said.
"This is already very good, in fact, if you think about it carefully, the reason why she resisted Nie Jin so much when she was a child was mainly because her mother's approach was too domineering, if her mother could be as gradual as you, maybe her resistance would not be so great."
"Brother, what do you think? I'm not asking my sister-in-law, I'm yours. ”
"I just want her to be happy and happy, if she likes to sing and dance, I have no reason to stop her, if she doesn't like it, I don't want anyone to force her, the only thing I'm worried about is that someone in the entertainment industry will beat her idea, we can protect her at home, and ...... in that circle"
"Brother, don't worry, if she decides to sing in the end, I will definitely protect her." Fan Cheng said.
"He protects Sissi!? Who does he think he is!? He may not be able to protect himself! After the four brothers of the Fan family dispersed, Nie Jin said angrily when Fan Ge went back to mention it to Nie Jin.
Nie Jin is quite enthusiastic about letting Fan Xiaoqian enter the entertainment industry, but this girl has always been very resistant to her, and she has run away from home before, so Nie Jin rarely mentions these things to Fan Xiaoqian in person.
What Fan Cheng did made Nie Jin very jealous when he saw hope, this girl, I asked you to be a singer and you won't go, your third uncle said that you are willing to go? I'm your mother!
"He can't protect it, can you?" Fange asked.
"Humph! I'm her mother, who will protect me if I don't protect her? And aren't you worried? Our daughter is too close to him Fan Cheng, right? If it goes on like this, aren't you worried about it for a long time? You know, our news looks so beautiful......"
"What nonsense are you talking about! Fan Cheng is his uncle! They are related by blood! Fange said angrily.
"I don't care! I'm her mother! She must listen to me! Nie Jin said.
Fan Ge was also angry, and he said, "Then what's the use of you telling me! You can't even it, what's the use of me saying?! If she doesn't listen to you, that's a problem with your education! ”
"Good! That's what you said! You are not allowed to point fingers at my daughter when I take care of my daughter from now on, you know!? Nie Jindao.
"Whatever it is, just say it as if she listens to you!" Vangerdao.
Fan Xiaoqian...... It's true that she doesn't listen to her parents very much, otherwise she wouldn't have run to Fan Cheng all day long.
Sometimes Fan Xiaoqian would not even answer her mother's call, and Fan Cheng would occasionally persuade her, after all, it was the girl's parents, but the girl who had always been obedient to Fan Cheng's words had her own ideas on this matter, and stubbornly insisted on her own behavior.
The New Year of 2001 passed in Fan Xiaoqian's singing.
On the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, Fan Cheng returned to the TV station and was ready to start work.
The first is to make plans for the new year.
Last year's comprehensive entertainment channel successfully upgraded the municipal TV station in only half a year, although this speed is not the fastest, it is an excellent result in a small TV station with little capital.
In the new year, the entertainment channel has only one goal, that is, to upgrade to a provincial TV station.
In fact, it seems to outsiders that the comprehensive entertainment channel wants to upgrade the provincial TV station, and the TV station needs to be accumulated, and the scale gap between a municipal TV station and a provincial TV station is very large, not to mention anything else, just for the broadcast time of the original program every day, the municipal TV station and the provincial TV station are completely incomparable.
For provincial TV stations, you have to have new programs every day, and every quarter on average, there must be new programs, this so-called new program is not a hard and fast rule, but in the industry, if you don't have a new program every quarter, you can't guarantee the freshness of the audience, without freshness, the audience who is tired of watching it is easy to lose, and the ratings will fall at that time.
Of course, most of the so-called new programs here are TV dramas, and the way Huaxia's TV dramas are broadcast is completely different from Japan's, Huaxia is bought and broadcast at one time, and two episodes, three or four episodes are broadcast every day...... This makes Huaxia TV's TV series broadcast very amazing, and it is very normal to change more than ten or twenty TV series every year.
As for the future of the comprehensive entertainment channel, of course, he will be more cautious about the introduction of TV dramas, and Fan Cheng even considered that if there are conditions, he will simply not introduce TV series but purely self-made TV series.
TV dramas will not be introduced in large quantities, and the variety entertainment channel will naturally ensure the freshness of the audience in other aspects, and since it is called the variety entertainment channel, variety shows and entertainment programs will naturally become the main production direction of the TV station.
But paradoxically, at this stage, the variety entertainment channel does not have the ability to independently produce multiple variety shows at the same time.
The prime time of a provincial TV station every quarter, if calculated according to three hours a day, is about 270 hours, these 270 hours, even if the entertainment channel does not pay attention to TV dramas, at least one-third to one-half of the time must be spent on broadcasting, then the remaining time will still have 90 to 135 hours of program production time.
In these hours, it is expected that there will be some sports and cultural broadcasts and documentaries, etc., which will use up about 30 hours, and there are still 60 to 100 hours left, taking 80 hours in the middle, a normal prime-time variety show production team, the broadcast time is about 12 hours per quarter (1 hour per week for 12 weeks), then at least eight program groups are needed for regular production......
Eight groups ......
Don't look at the so-called original variety shows of the two and a half hours a day on the variety entertainment channel, the hour of "Gilgamesh" is not a prime time, the real prime time is only one and a half hours of "Eight O'clock in the Evening", one and a half hours a day, ninety days is one hundred and thirty-five hours, which sounds like a lot, but the data is not calculated like this, because the production quality of the TV program of the provincial TV station is on par with "Our Legend", and it is not possible to continue to broadcast the program "All the Gathering at Eight O'clock in the Evening" on the provincial TV station.
According to Fan Cheng's plan, if everything is normal, the comprehensive entertainment channel will usher in the upgrade of the provincial television station in September this year, and the upgraded data will be completely decided in the third quarter of July, August and September, in the first half of 2001, the comprehensive entertainment channel will still operate according to the plan of the municipal television station, and in the third quarter, it will adopt a new TV production method that is almost equivalent to that of the provincial television station.
Of course, it is impossible to run eight variety show production teams, eight groups, which means that an average of more than one hour of new original variety shows will be broadcast every day, in today's world, even CCTV can't do this, Fan Cheng estimates that without his participation, the best situation is to run four variety show production teams at the same time, Erwang Hetian Kangmei, Cui Changjian, the four of them are each responsible for a group, and broadcast two hours of original variety shows every weekend, as for the remaining four hours a week, there is no way, had to introduce variety shows from other TV stations, fortunately, in terms of introduction, the restrictions of provincial TV stations are not as high as those of municipal TV stations.
Fan Cheng's cooperation with Subei TV, another meaning of creating "Extreme Physical Fitness King" in advance is actually here, the competition of the Extreme Physical Fitness King, Subei Satellite TV cooperated with the Northern Group, held in many competition areas across the country, and it is likely to be broadcast for more than two hours a week in the future, the broadcast rights of Beilin Province belong to the founder group and Fan Cheng, which is one of the most basic conditions when the two parties sign a contract.
As for the remaining last hour, Fan Cheng belongs, but one hour a week, he will not do it every week, his preparation is to do a four-hour or two two-hour special programs every quarter.
The four-hour special program will be broadcast at the beginning of each quarter, and will become an important window for Fan Cheng to explore the future of variety shows and the TV viewing habits of Chinese audiences in the world.
The production of the special program theoretically only started in June, but recently, Fan Cheng wanted to make a new special program, because it was his father's last wish.
Father Fan Lifu was still worried about Fan Cheng's personal image before leaving, in fact, Fan Cheng has never been worried about personal image, there have been examples before, Wang Xingxing and Wan Hong have such a bad image, but Fan Cheng reversed their image in a short time, the same way, it is no problem to put it on Fan Cheng, if he wants to, just do a few episodes of variety shows that brush up on favorability, and he can turn his image around.
But his father didn't know this, so he was very worried about Fan Cheng's image.
In such a tense time, Fan Cheng didn't have time to explain to his father, so he had to follow his father's words and even made up a children's program temporarily.
Although it was made up temporarily, and it was not originally needed, but since he had promised his father, Fan Cheng wanted to produce the show, which was his father's last wish.
Gathering everyone in the program team, Fan Cheng distributed the script of the new program.
The name of the new show is ......
...... "The First Dispatch"?
What kind of show is this?
The confused crowd flipped through the script.
It was only five minutes before Tian Kangmei put down the script and said, "Third uncle, we can't shoot this show." ”
Cui Changjian also said: "Yes, how to shoot? I can't shoot it at all. ”
Not only the two of them, but in fact, the first reaction of everyone who saw the script was that this show could not be filmed.
"First Dispatch" is a very magical variety show in Japan, this variety show, with the simplest introduction, is that parents send their children to do a small thing independently for the first time.
It may sound simple, but there is something very deep about the production of this show.
On this show, first of all, there is no need to talk about culture, educational habits and the like, what Japanese pay more attention to cultivating children's independence and self-determination, no matter how much attention is paid to cultivating independence, there is no need to shoot three or four-year-old children walking a few streets to buy things, Japanese housewives usually can't really send children out to cross the street to buy things.
The reason why this show was born, first of all, is that this is a variety show, do you remember the first of the ten variety shows? At the end of the day, the purpose of variety shows is to be fun! The essence of the show "First Dispatch" is not to cultivate children's independence, but to watch children buy things for the first time, which is very interesting!
This is the essence, of course, this essence is like a hurtful truth, and no producer will say it.
So why did this kind of show be made, and why was this kind of show born? The essence of this show is to be fun, but there is a most basic, not funny requirement, and that requirement is ...... Safe!
This is the biggest difference between this show and other variety shows, other shows, when producing, usually think about how interesting to be, and then make the show safe, but this show, but you must first consider safety, and only when you ensure absolute safety can you continue to consider whether the show can be produced.
This is also the reason why the rest of the program team does not agree to make this show, because it is too difficult to ensure safety.
Why is it that safety can be guaranteed in Japan, but not in China?
In fact, it's very simple, how many people in China and how many people in Japan, there are 130 million people in Japan, 30 million people are gathered in Tokyo, and the remaining tens of millions are gathered in big cities such as Osaka, Sapporo, Nagoya, etc., like a monster-like giant city, giving birth to extremely hollow Japanese countryside, in many rural areas of Japan, you can hardly see any pedestrians and vehicles on the streets during the day, and even if you see pedestrians, most of them are old people who stay in the local area.
In China, where there is no such hollowing environment, how to realize this show is worth considering.
