Chapter Thirty-Seven: Recruiting New People
At this time, Fan Cheng didn't know what was going on behind it, controlling a TV station was really too much to care about, and he had been desperately trying to get out of the endless work recently.
Fan Cheng actually has very little administrative work in control, although the original director Cheng Gaoge can't bring a TV station back to life, but at least he has helped Fan Cheng a lot in administrative work.
The real trouble is the things that Cheng Gaoge can't do.
What kind of photographic equipment do you need? What size does a studio need? What type of lighting do you need? What should I do with audio recording and editing?
The TV station started from scratch, and only Fan Cheng did all the things.
What's more, he is not omnipotent, in addition to scripting and directing, photography and editing can be done, but nothing else, when someone comes to ask him, all he can do is to study with everyone.
In order to free himself from these messy work, Fan Cheng began to recruit a large number of people for the program team and channel after filming the first week of the program.
The more assistants and technical jobs there are, the better, but the most important ones are the two positions of director and script creation, and the candidates for these two positions have not been determined for a long time.
In terms of directors, this is a world with a very developed cultural industry, because of the prosperity of private TV stations, there are actually many professional directors in this world, but you can't expect these directors to be variety show directors, for these directors, many of them will feel that they are not good at mixing, and would rather change jobs to do something else than go to the TV station to be a variety show director When it comes to filming live variety shows, most of the on-site directors have changed careers from various assistant jobs.
As for the screenwriter's script, this is what Huaxia is not good at, in Fan Cheng's original world, Huaxia's ability to talk about business scripts is far more important than the ability to write screenplays, what are these people best at? It is the localization of excellent foreign works, to put it bluntly, it is copying, and if they are found too many times and they have money, they will start to buy foreign copyrights.
Both jobs require Fan Cheng to look for with his heart and it is very likely that he will not be able to find them even if he is attentive, which is very helpless, the recruitment advertisement of the TV station has already been typed, and everything else has been found, but he has not found any good director and script that suits his heart.
Since I can't find it, I can only try to cultivate it myself, although the quality of this group of assistants around me is really a bit worrying.
So, while giving lessons to everyone in the troupe, Fan Cheng also opened another course for assistant filmmakers and pre-directors.
In this course, Fan Cheng mainly talked to them about program production.
It's a pity that after two days of class, Fan Cheng knew that it was not for nothing that these people had not made a name for themselves for so many years, and their potential was really poor.
His pain, including Sun Maofeng and others, could also see it clearly, but he didn't expect that it was Sun Maofeng who helped him.
"Third uncle, if you are the director of the scene, I have two people who recommend it to you, are you interested?" asked Sun Maofeng.
"Oh, it's experienced, of course welcome, I need it!" Fan Cheng said.
"These two people were originally my one, but the basic skills couldn't be practiced well, so they switched to the background, they did well in the imperial capital, but accidentally offended the people of the record company, so they had to transfer to Beilin Province, and as a result, Beilin Province recently wanted to do a music program, but the program hasn't started yet, they were opened first, if you are interested, I can introduce you to it. β
"Is the power of the music company so strong?" Fan Cheng asked first.
"Of course it's strong, celebrities aren't just movies and TV and singing, movie actors disdain to be on TV, and the only ones who are willing to go on TV are TV stars and singers, TV stars have a lot of TV series to play, and the best thing to invite is singers for variety shows and music programs. Sun Maofeng said.
Fan Cheng shook his head, he found that this world is the same as the Huaxia of his world, and there is a very important feature about the role of television.
What is the relationship between television and artists? It mainly depends on the media and artists, if the media industry is developed, then the media will be more influential, if the entertainment industry is more developed, on the contrary, the artists will be more influential.
In the entertainment industry in China, the production capacity of the media is insufficient, and the program must rely on stars, which makes the media inherently weak, and the music and film and television companies are naturally not afraid of the media, but are far stronger than the media, if it were not for the national forces behind the shield, those provincial and national TV stations may have fallen.
"It's okay, let them come, our station won't think about doing music programs for the time being anyway, not to mention that they are just doing it behind the scenes!" Fan Cheng said.
Soon, he met the pair of brother producers named Wang Lixing and Wang Liming.
The appearance of the two brothers is very ordinary, and their round faces are not tall, they feel a bit short of a figure, in fact, they are also very suitable for TV, because it is interesting to watch, but since they have been behind the scenes, Fan Cheng is not interested in asking so much.
"Senior Sun told me about you, what did you do here in Beilin before?" asked Fan Cheng.
The two glanced at each other and said, "I have basically done it, management, co-ordination, planning, directing, producing, and dramatizing...... It's basically running the scene. β
"Okay, then you can follow me first these days, our scene may be different from the scene of other program groups, remember to listen and watch more first, you know?" Fan Cheng asked.
"Yes!" The two of them did not despise him because of Fan Cheng's young people, they had specifically checked the information before they came, Fan Cheng's achievements, the first four episodes of the program and the program that had just been broadcast on the Northern Channel, they were quite impressed.
Wang Lixing and Wang Liming's first work with Fan Cheng was the preparation of the new week's "All Assembled".
At half past seven in the morning, the two came to the studio thirty minutes early but found that Fan Cheng was not there.
When I was standing a little stiffly, a staff member came over.
"Are you the new third uncle's assistant?" asked the strange staff member.
"Third uncle?" the two were surprised by this title.
"It's the director. The staff explained.
"Ah, yes, yes, yes, but is he called Third Uncle here?" the two asked.
"Yes, at first, it was the actors who called it, and then everyone in the studio called it that, don't look at this affectionate title, be careful that he will really yell at you!"
"Where is the third uncle now?" the two asked.
"Up there, it should come down in a while. The staff said.
This one should be the above broadcast room, where most of the program teams really control the production of the program.
Fan Cheng was on it for a while before coming down with the host Sun Maofeng.
After the two of them greeted them, they heard Fan Cheng say: "How is it, after the first issue, the relationship with everyone is not bad, right?"
"yes, thanks to you. Sun Maofeng said.
The two of them listened to it and understood, it turned out that at the end of the first week, there were many stories with one ring after another, Wang Xingxing's sudden paste of your bear face was planned by Fan Cheng a long time ago, and its purpose was not only to make the show more interesting, but also to make everyone accept Sun Maofeng as soon as possible, and the effect was obviously very good, Sun Maofeng slapped the big cake on Wang Xingxing's face and the third one that was taken out later was really shared with everyone, the best cake made the relationship between the entire program group harmonious, and what was even more interesting was that Fan Cheng finally took the invoice for the three cakes to Sun Maofeng, saying that the three cakes were bought by Sun Maofeng for the program teamγ
The two who already knew a little about Fan Cheng's program could have imagined that Sun Maofeng's face must have been very exciting at that time.
What's even more powerful is that all of the above content is recorded by a camera and will be broadcast on Fan Cheng's own comprehensive entertainment channel, if you want to see these, you can only download it on the comprehensive entertainment channel or the website of Fanjia TV.
This series of operations was an eye-opener for the two, they both watched the show carefully, the last part of the program of "All Hands Gathered" was only a few minutes, and from those few minutes, so many things were extended to broadcast on their own TV stations, and it was easy to bring the program team to a harmonious relationship, I didn't expect there to be so many complicated internal information in the production of a program.
"By the way, the two of them are the new assistants. Fan Cheng suddenly introduced the two to Sun Maofeng.
"Lixing Liming, in this way, one of you follows me, and the other person goes to the director room, the director room is equally important, especially the switch of the camera, you have to watch more, and you will change it when the next program starts recording. Fan Cheng said.
"Yes!" they agreed.
"Okay, then let's get ready to start immediately, let's shoot the show well, and strive to be qualified to apply for a TV station upgrade in April!" Fan Cheng said.
The upgrade process of the TV station is like this, the primary TV station only needs enough capital to upgrade the municipal TV station can apply, and the local TV station that has applied for the program production requirements, and the TV station that receives the request to produce a TV program in the first quarter, as long as the ratings reach 5% in the local area, it can be successfully upgraded to a municipal TV station.
Under normal circumstances, it is impossible for a junior TV station to have so much money, so the reality is that most of the junior TV stations that want to upgrade the municipal TV station have a huge enterprise behind them, but the comprehensive entertainment channel does not have these, so Fan Cheng had to cooperate with the North Group, he produced and provided the program "All Hands Gathered", as long as the ratings and revenue of this program achieve the effect, the comprehensive entertainment channel will be guaranteed.
Relying on this guarantee, the comprehensive entertainment channel finally has the possibility of upgrading to a municipal TV station.
