Chapter 791 [Money!]
After a busy morning, the overall plan was finally written. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info
When Zhang Ye looked at the time, it was almost noon, but he was not in a hurry to go downstairs to eat during the lunch break, but without a moment's delay, he found Yan Tianfei's office next to him, which was not far from his office, and there was a metal sign hanging on the door, which read: CCTV Channel 14 Director's Office.
Knock knock.
Knocked on the door.
"Come in, it's not locked. Yan Tianfei's voice came from inside.
Zhang Ye pushed the door and entered, and found that Yan Tianfei was eating, and Tong Fu from Channel 14, whom he had just met before, was also inside, reporting to Yan Tianfei.
Tong Fu turned around and smiled at Zhang Ye in a friendly manner, and then continued: "Director Yan, then I'll continue." ”
"You say. ”
"This week, the ratings of "Across Shangri-La" on our channel are 0. 014%。 ”
"Hmm. ”
"In the lower part of "Re-walking Xining", the national ratings are 0. 027%。 ”
"Hmm. ”
"Visiting Tribal Peoples", 0 ratings. 066%”
"Oh. ”
"The Road to the CBA Basketball Championship", with 0 ratings. 092%”
A large list of ratings statistics, Tong Fu read one by one.
Zhang Ye listened in the back, the more he listened, the cooler his heart became, and the more he listened, the more he sighed.
This rating, it's miserable!
No, it's so-mother-miserable!
Is this also called ratings? This is the current situation of Channel 14? The current situation of the documentary industry? This is too low! What is the concept of a few tenths of a rating? For the most ordinary TV program, whether it is a variety show or a talk show. For "The Voice" that Zhang Ye threw out in this world, the ratings are almost zero!
When Zhang Ye was in CCTV before, he watched people do ratings statistics and related tables. There is a very interesting statistic, that is, CCTV stops broadcasting the program at four or five o'clock in the morning every day, and it becomes a color fixed picture, and there is a long background sound, yes, it is this picture period that does not last until the morning, and guess how many ratings? 02%! This is a set of CCTV that I have been watching all night before. Then the people who slept without turning off the TV, so the statistics of the ratings signal specimen sampling counted the ratings of this time period, and the precision and accuracy aside. But this is indeed reported as a data!
What is the concept?
The dead pictures of CCTV's programs that stopped broadcasting in the middle of the night are all higher than the ratings of a small part of the programs that are normally broadcast in the daytime or even during prime time on CCTV Channel 14, and as for the other programs on Channel 14 that have higher ratings than CCTV's suspension time, they are actually not much higher. One of the highest sports documentaries about the CBA league. It's less than 0. 1% ratings!
This is inhumane misery!
It's a miserable thing that can't be looked at directly!
Zhang Ye couldn't cry or laugh, once again he had a deeper and more intuitive understanding of the world's record channel, no wonder this channel was at the bottom of all CCTV channels!
Alas, it's good that I'm here!
Give buddy a fulcrum, and buddy can pry the earth for you!
Over there.
Yan Tianfei nodded, and said expressionlessly, "I know." ”
Tong Fu smiled, "Then you eat, don't bother you." ”
Tong Fu left. Yan Tianfei beckoned Zhang Ye, "Sit." ”
Zhang Ye smiled: "Huh." It's so fragrant. Looking at the two lunch boxes on his desk, "Are you bringing your own food?"
Yan Tianfei pointed to the lunch box, "My lover brought it to me in the morning, the microwave oven is hot at noon, it saves trouble, you came just in time, there are a lot of dishes today, eat one piece and eat one piece, sit." ”
Zhang Ye said: "Don't mind, I'll go back to the cafeteria." ”
"That's all there is to the food. Yan Tianfei said with a smile: "You taste my lover's craftsmanship, make sure that it is not the same as that big pot of rice, I also have disposable chopsticks here, come." ”
Seeing that Lao Yan was not polite, but really wanted him to eat together, Zhang Ye didn't shirk it, "Come on, then I'll touch your light, the dishes made in the canteen downstairs are indeed getting more and more confused." ”
Ate for a while.
Yan Tianfei said, "Something, what are you holding?"
Zhang Yefang handed over a dozen manuscript papers, "It's the program planning I told you about this morning, you check it." ”
"It's done so soon?" Yan Tianfei was a little stunned.
Zhang Ye said: "I'll prepare for it on the weekend." ”
Yan Tianfei took it and glanced at it in surprise.
Zhang Ye didn't eat it either, and introduced: "The front is the preparation of the program, and the back is the shooting layout, the expected schedule cycle, etc." ”
Yan Tianfei praised: "It is worthy of Mr. Zhang, you can know at a glance that the planners of our channel are not on the same level as you at all." Flipping through the pages quickly, but without looking at it carefully, Yan Tianfei put down the plan and said: "Okay, just according to what I told you in the morning, this program has been approved, you have both the director and the chief director, and the people of the original "The Voice" team are at your disposal, if there are not enough people, you can also lend a few people in the first office area to help you, the shooting cycle is up to you, it doesn't matter when the shooting is done." ”
That's it?
It's too casual to take a closer look?
Zhang Ye was helpless, knowing that Lao Yan didn't care, he didn't take this show seriously at all, he may not even see clearly that the content of the program was in the form of filming, it is estimated that it is purely to give Zhang Ye a face, let Zhang Ye make a documentary and play it, I never expected Zhang Ye to make a kind of film, anyway, Channel 14 has been half-dead, and it is filmed by those people who let Zhang Ye shoot it, and let Zhang Ye shoot it, they are all documentaries with ratings of 0.0 or a few that few people will watch, who makes a difference? Yan Tianfei definitely felt that there was no difference.
The difference in shooting is a few tenths of a bit.
It's done...... It's also a few tenths of a second.
0。 01% and 0. 09% ratings, what's the actual difference?
He guessed right. Yan Tianfei really thought so.
It's not that Yan Tianfei doesn't trust Zhang Ye, it's that Yan has been on Channel 14 for two or three years, which makes him know too much about the domestic documentary industry. The more he knows, the more he knows the depth of this industry, for them, or for their channel, they expect the most ideal height that domestic documentaries can reach, which is nothing more than making a film on their own, winning relevant domestic art film awards, and taking the high-end route of art. Earn a reputation and make a name for yourself, but as for the ratings? He never had the luxury of expecting any ratings for documentaries. The word ratings is simply a nonsense extravagant hope in the field of domestic documentaries, and it is not the case with CCTV Channel 14. Other domestic TV stations and documentaries are much the same. Don't laugh at anyone, no one is better than anyone!
Zhang Ye suggested: "Director, why don't you take a look first?"
Yan Tianfei said: "Okay, I'll take a closer look in the next few days." ”
Zhang Ye spoke, "That production cost ......"
Yan Tianfei said happily: "I said in the morning, I will approve one million for you, and you can shoot it casually! You don't need to report to me for approval if you have extra money after filming, if you still want to shoot one, try it." You just go on to make a second film, and we don't have that many restrictions here. It's free!"
Still extra money?
Or a second film?
If you count the money for equipment, a million is really not enough to shoot an episode!
Zhang Ye was most worried about the production funds, the gap was so big that he was embarrassed to speak, "Ahem, what, Director Yan, this money ...... Well, can you ......"
Yan Tianfei was stunned, "What, don't tell me that this money is not enough?"
People really asked about this, Zhang Ye is not easy to say, think about it, the other people's Yan is really good to himself, he approved the plan without looking too much, he asked someone to give it, he wanted to give power, they were in contact for the first time today, and they were not familiar with each other, so how could Zhang Ye speak?
Zhang Ye could only say: "No." ”
Yan Tianfei asked, "Then what were you going to say just now?"
Zhang Ye had already thought about it before he came, so he retreated and said: "I want to borrow a few sets of high-definition video equipment, from the machine to the supporting facilities, it is best to have three sets, which can support three teams to carry out multi-threaded recording work in different provinces and regions at the same time, which can speed up the work progress several times." ”
Yan Tianfei was stunned, "Three sets of high-definition equipment?"
Zhang Ye: "Yes." ”
The money is estimated to be coming, if the high-definition equipment can be solved, it can be regarded as saving a lot of production costs, this kind of machine and supporting, is not cheap, not to mention three sets of equipment that can record independently?
Yan Tianfei asked, "Why do you have to have three sets?"
Zhang Ye said: "I think it will be recorded in December, and it is also written on the plan, I want to record more, after all, it is almost winter, and the weather is too cold, and some shots cannot be recorded." ”
Yan Tianfei wondered: "Why do you have to have high-definition equipment? Can't you shoot with ordinary equipment?"
"Our channel now also has a high-definition signal, although the programs in the station are in accordance with the conventional picture standards, domestic documentaries have always been this standard, but I always feel that it is too wasteful, there is a high-definition signal output, that must be a high-definition program can reflect the value more, and the value of high-definition equipment is not only in the clarity of the picture, a lot of professional-grade lenses, a lot of close-up magnification of several times, only high-definition cameras can produce results. Zhang Ye said.
Yan Tianfei: "But, no one uses high-definition equipment to shoot documentaries?"
Zhang Ye smiled: "We can be the first to eat crabs." ”
Yan Tianfei said: "But the cost of shooting has increased significantly, and it is not a little bit higher, have you thought about this?"
Zhang Ye said: "So I want you to help solve the gap in the equipment, do we have a channel?"
"We don't, that thing is too expensive, too expensive, and the station hasn't assigned our channel. Yan Tianfei thought for a while and said: "There are a lot of these high-definition shooting equipment, one set of CCTV, but I don't have a good relationship with their directors and deputy directors, and I can't borrow them if I want to, and then there are two sets of foreign language programs, and there should be four or five high-definition cameras on the sports channel, and my relationship with their directors is okay, if I have to borrow it, it should be no problem." ”
Zhang Ye was happy, "Then I'll trouble you!"
Yan Tianfei spread his hands, "I can only say try it, who knows if they use it." ”
"I'll borrow it for two months at most, and I'll ask everyone to work overtime to finish recording as soon as possible, and I'll return it to our brother channel!" Zhang Ye immediately assured.
Yan Tianfei added: "But I can't borrow people, and those cameras and reporters on our channel don't necessarily use those professional-grade equipment." ”
Zhang Ye smiled, "It's okay, I will!"
Yan Tianfei couldn't cry or laugh, but he didn't take Zhang Ye's words seriously, he only felt that he was saying it under the pretext of getting the high-definition equipment, so he didn't say anything.
In fact, Zhang Ye really knows!
In the previous lottery, Zhang Ye not only drew 100 experience books on directing skills, but also drew 101 experience books on photography skills, and he can use more or less equipment for image shooting.
Well, now that the equipment has been solved, if you don't have to purchase these things separately, you don't have to need 10 million to shoot the show, and if you save a little more and squeeze it, six or seven million should be enough? This is good news! The production budget has been reduced a lot, but the bad news is also the original problem!
Where are we going to get the rest of the money?
The documentary that Zhang Ye is going to shoot this time is his signature program in the field of documentaries that is famous on the earth, and it is not impossible to shoot it with little money, and no amount of production funds can actually fool out a similar film, but in that case, the quality of the program will definitely be greatly reduced, and it will definitely not achieve the expected viewing effect and ratings, which is completely unacceptable to Zhang Ye, and Zhang Ye will not do this kind of violent thing!
If you don't do it, you can do it to the best within your ability!
Even, Zhang Ye wants to increase the production budget, and he even wants to use the production budget that is richer than the earth before him to craft this classic documentary, so that the people of the whole country and the world can see the peak level of their Republic documentary!
Money!
Money!
How to fill the gap of millions of dollars?? (To be continued.) )
