Chapter 198: Two albums
A TV station, especially an influential TV station like a variety entertainment channel, has amazing influence and income.
Fan Cheng's TV shows are actually only a small part of the comprehensive entertainment channel, although this part occupies the most prime time.
The entertainment channel, which has been upgraded to a provincial TV station, has begun to broadcast all day most of the time, and private commercial TV stations like them do not have many politicians that national TV stations need to do, so they can control almost all their time, which is a great help for big TV stations, but it is a big burden for small TV stations.
Because you have to fill all the slots.
Although it is called a variety entertainment channel, it is not required to be a variety show in terms of broadcast type, so in non-prime time, the broadcast content of the variety entertainment channel is usually half self-made and half introduced.
In terms of introduction, there is a company in China that specializes in this, and this company has signed contracts with most of the TV stations across the country that can only broadcast in the province, and these TV stations can hand over their variety shows to this company to operate, and this company is responsible for finding other provincial TV stations to broadcast.
The variety entertainment channel has also introduced a lot of various variety shows through this company, and their self-made TV programs are also sold through this company.
On the whole, the imported content of the comprehensive entertainment channel is dominated by various TV dramas, of course, the TV series sold and purchased here are all relatively common types, and dramas like "101 Marriage Proposals" must be broadcast on major quasi-national TV stations for at least a year or so before they can be sold here.
The content sold by the variety entertainment channel is mainly based on some pioneering and experimental variety shows, most of which are produced by people from Yoshimoto's troupe, but there is no Fan Cheng among them, it is something that Wang Xingxing and others tried to make with their own ideas after watching the programs produced by Fan Cheng.
These things can't be broadcast with the requirements of the variety entertainment channel, with Fan Cheng's program in front, the requirements for variety shows in the entire Beilin Province are rising, and it is difficult for the audience to accept and recognize the experimental and lack of excitement of the program.
But the audience in Beilin Province did not accept it, but for those viewers outside Beilin Province who could only see some of Fan Cheng's variety shows, these programs could be watched, so surprisingly, these programs are still quite marketable outside Beilin Province.
The variety entertainment channel has a large number of variety shows and many types, from food programs to music programs, parent-child programs, for the variety entertainment channel, it seems that no kind of program is theoretically a variety show, and the channel can always make all kinds of extremely interesting effects on the seemingly uninnovative program types, which other TV stations have not been able to learn anyway.
A large number of sales of program broadcast rights have also brought quite good sales results to the entertainment channel, in the Huaxia TV circle, where most of the income depends on advertising, being able to sell variety shows and make money is simply a sign of the success of the TV station, because that means that your program is popular, and how can a popular program worry about advertising investment, a complete seller's market, most of the time the entertainment channel does not need to think about income at all, as long as you say that there is a new program, advertisers will naturally come over to send money, so Fan Zheng and Wen Jia, who are in charge of commercial work, also have to go to dinner or something, but he will not drink until his stomach perforates and his stomach drops in order to sign a contract like the producer of the investment promotion department of a general TV station.
So many types of programs,So that the entertainment channel has accumulated a lot of production experience in the production process,Using these experiences,The entertainment channel is also handy to do other kinds of programs,Food,Music,Children,Many of these programs on the entertainment channel have also been sold,This is very rare,So far,Fan Cheng only put forward the concept and then produced this work by the entertainment channel,Including the food documentary "Touring the Chinese Food Road", most of the content of this documentary is actually " The content that was not used in "Food Showdown", the comprehensive entertainment channel edited these contents into their new documentary, and the most investment was a little time for the editor and director.
In addition, Fan Cheng's recent "Birth of an Idol", which has done the most on the channel, is also a kind of music program, and in terms of children's programs, with the help of "First Dispatch", a group of producers of the comprehensive entertainment channel who are full of love have even set up a children's program department to specialize in this kind of children's programs.
Of course, without Fan Cheng's help, these programs can't be regarded as excellent in terms of quality, but at least at this level of provincial TV stations, they can be broadcast without any problem.
The entire comprehensive entertainment channel has done a lot of things from Fan Cheng's time travel to the present, but the most popular program on the TV station side of the real comprehensive entertainment channel is neither "Food Showdown" nor "First Dispatch", but ...... "Extreme Physical Fitness King".
Fan Cheng has been doing this show for a while, and after such a long time of development, the popularity and attention of this show have gradually accumulated.
The difference with other shows is that this show can't be regarded as the most interesting or the most brand-new, the production level, and the content of the program can't be regarded as the best, but compared with other programs, this show is the easiest to do for a long time.
Fan Cheng's variety shows, the most popular among the people should be a lot of magical puzzle variety shows in the 24-hour plan, and so many magical variety shows have been made in 24 hours, which should be regarded as the most amazing thing Fan Cheng has done in the past two years, people who like Fan Cheng are talking about it, and those shows are still quite popular and have a very stable viewing group.
But on the TV station, programs other than "Extreme Physical Fitness King" have a big problem, that is, there is no Fan Cheng!
The program with Fan Cheng and the program without Fan Cheng are completely two programs, this is the consensus of most producers, without Fan Cheng's program, if it is a variety entertainment channel, it is okay, at least he will supervise and maintain some quality, and the programs produced by other programs are not very good.
Among the programs that Fan Cheng did, most of the programs did not have particularly strict copyright protection, because he knew that even if those programs wanted to be done by other stations, it would be difficult to achieve the level of a variety entertainment channel in recent years, and the exception was still "Extreme Physical Fitness King", and the copyright protection of this program Fan Cheng did the most complete.
Because this show is rare on the variety entertainment channel, even if there is no Fan Cheng, it can be a variety show that can be done well.
It can be done without Fan Cheng's protection, and it can ensure good quality, this kind of program is a piece of fat that everyone wants to bite on for other TV stations.
So he also understands that if a variety show wants to ensure the copyright, it is difficult to protect it only by him and the current variety entertainment channel, so after he made the program, he united with the Northern Group, with the help of such a large group, he could keep his copyright and not be taken away by other TV stations and production companies.
After ensuring the copyright, the comprehensive entertainment channel will release the tone that the program copyright and cooperation can be discussed, this choice question is very easy for major TV stations, on the one hand, it is at the risk of being scolded to fight against the comprehensive entertainment channel and the northern group, and the program may not be successful, on the other hand, as long as the money is paid, there is a quality assurance on Fan Cheng's side, or cooperation or sales of copyright, as long as the IQ is normal, the latter will be chosen.
In just a year or so, the Comprehensive Entertainment Channel and the North Group have signed cooperation agreements with several provincial TV stations across the country, and "Extreme Physical Fitness King" will be broadcast by local provincial TV stations in the local audition competition, and the finals will also be broadcast by quasi-national TV stations.
Each of these collaborations is a piece of money earned for the entertainment channel.
And this is not the most profitable place, the charm of this show is all over the world, so the Chinese-speaking region is not the focus at all, it is sold abroad.
The program was broadcast in the Chinese-speaking area for two or three months, and the TV stations of neighboring countries came to inquire about the copyright of the entertainment channel, and the entertainment channel was also very open to this, and soon South Korea, Southeast Asia and Singapore all bought the copyright of the program, and the price could not be considered very high, and the Southeast Asian side simply sold it to an operating company to do this, but this is Fan Cheng's purpose, and these countries that were initially sold could not buy it even if they wanted to sell it at a high price.
As for Europe and the United States, although there are also preliminary contacts, the price given by the comprehensive entertainment channel is not very acceptable to the European and American sides.
The channel is not in a hurry, now the program is getting better and better, the whole East Asia and Southeast Asia are very popular, and the influence will radiate to Europe and the United States sooner or later, and at that time, the price is not even the so-called "unacceptable" price called out by the entertainment channel now, maybe the price will be higher and higher.
This time to Europe, in addition to Fan Xiaoqian Wenzhen, Fan Zheng will also follow, one of his goals in the past is to try to open up the market of "Extreme Physical Fitness King", even if it can't be talked about immediately, at least let Europeans know about this program.
After setting the goal plan for this trip to Europe, at the Beijing Airport, Fan Cheng sent away Fan Xiaoqian and Fan Zheng, with two pure music albums that had been recorded before.
Of these two albums, the first one is a YMO electronic music album and some other excellent Japanese electronic music works summarized by Fan Cheng.
The second chapter album is another pure music work, sixteen pure music works, there are fourteen original Japanese melodies from various Fan Cheng's impressions, which include both movies and TV series, as well as games and animations, basically as long as Fan Cheng confirms that he is unlikely to produce music and thinks the quality is good, he put it in, especially like Miyazaki animation, Hisaishi let a lot of music Fan Cheng take out.
But it can't be helped.,It's true that there are a lot of people who know this country because of Japanese animation.,But he's the kind of guy who doesn't have a special love for Japanese animation.,Except for one or two particularly favorite works.,His understanding of Japanese animation is limited to the common sense of ordinary people.,So he has seen a lot of Miyazaki's works.,But he only has a deeper impression of music.。
In addition to the fourteen songs, the rest are the two main pure music songs of this album, one is called "The Street Where the Wind Lives", and the other is called "The Original Scenery of Hometown".
At first glance, it sounds like Chinese-style music, but it's actually music made by Japanese.
"The Street Where the Wind Lives" is a musician named Yukiko Isomura and the famous erhu player Masao Sakashita collaborated on music, the main body of the piece is composed of piano and erhu, Fan Cheng does not know erhu, and the piano is only limited to the level of amateur performers, so he specially invited the world's most famous Chinese piano to cooperate with erhu players for this piece.
The two performers, the piano player is called Tang Lai, a young artist who has won awards in Europe, and the erhu player is Mao Duan, the heir of the domestic erhu industry, with a strange name, but a twenty-four-year-old girl who is one meter tall and seven or eight meters tall, an erhu player and a model.
These two are also wonderful, after hearing the song Fan Cheng brought, they both said that they didn't need to be paid, just to play this song, but Fan Cheng didn't give them this opportunity, and he didn't want to owe them anything, so both of them gave the highest remuneration in the country.
Mao Duan's remuneration is okay, it is not cheap to invite her to walk the catwalk, but playing the erhu is just an ordinary price, but the price given by Tang Lai is more than six figures, and this status in Huaxia is more successful than Lang Lang in Fan Cheng's world.
As for "The Original Scenery of Hometown", the fame in China is even greater, although not many people may have heard the name, but the melody is likely to be heard by everyone.
Japanese pure music may have more artistic value than these two songs, but when it comes to fame and influence, I am afraid that it is unsurpassed.
Fan Zheng went to Europe with these two albums in order to open up the European market and improve Fan Cheng's fame.
I believe that Europeans will also be very interested, the electronic music of the first album and the traditional music of the second album are basically two completely different styles, and the same musician makes such two completely different music, this gimmick is very interesting.
Moreover, in Fan Cheng's view, the two are not completely incompatible, for example, in the first album, Fan Cheng included a very short, Chinese-sounding work, but it is an electronic music.
This work is called "Kung Fu", what is the origin...... It's the melody of the kung fu game on FC (Red and White Machine).
Anyone who hears the beginning will be able to know what that piece of music is like, which can be described as very brainwashing.
When these music are released in Europe and become popular, and then "export to domestic sales" to China, these pioneering attempts of electronic music and Chinese style may soon bring a lot of ideas to Chinese musicians, which is what Fan Cheng hopes to see.
Sending away the reluctant Fan Xiaoqian and the three, Fan Cheng and Wen Jia returned to Taiwan together, and for the next period of time, the station mainly relied on Wen Jia to carry it, and Fan Cheng was going to join the group to prepare for the filming of the movie.
