Chapter 364, "Extreme Challenge" premieres!
The recording of the first episode of "Extreme Challenge" was very successful, and the performance of every guest in the show basically achieved the effect that Xu Rui expected, which can be said to have completely made Xu Rui have a grasp of the ratings when it is broadcast in the future.
The recording of the first episode of the program was completed, but Xu Rui did not relax because of this, and he still needed to deal with a lot of the work of Xingrui Company during this time.
Su Yi, who replaced Xu Rui in charge of the overall situation, is now mainly focused on the brokerage company under Xingrui Company, which is also her old business, because the brokerage company has absorbed several artists from the program "The Voice of China", and the team has grown a lot, so in this case, she has to send someone who can hold the scene to take care of the subordinate brokerage company.
Zhao Liying was filming in Hengdian during this time, although Shanghi was very close to there, Xu Rui also had to stay in the company and deal with some accumulated affairs.
Any enterprise and company will always encounter such problems in the development process, even if it is an entertaining company like Xingrui, there will inevitably be some stumbles and mixed in.
First of all, there are more and more artists under it, and there are also newcomers like Ju Jingyi who have just stepped into this industry, so there will be such and such problems in the allocation of resources.
Zhang Tianyi once called Xu Rui personally because of this problem, hoping that the company could arrange a role in a film and television drama for her.
In fact, Xu Rui had promised her this question since the company had just signed her, but this little girl is estimated to see more and more artists in the company, and almost all of the focus of her attention is on Xingrui's variety shows, so Zhang Tianxiao will be a little anxious.
It is not difficult to understand that the entertainment industry is nothing more than fame and fortune, in this circle, unless you are a confidant or friend, any actor may become your competitor, this is the same even for Xu Rui, so whenever an artist wants to fight for a deserved resource for himself, it is understandable.
Based on such a situation, Zhang Tianyi's request for Xu Rui agreed, in fact, he has been arranging for the employees of Xingrui Company to find a suitable IP for adaptation during this time.
What is the most lacking profession in the current Chinese entertainment industry?
I believe that as long as this question is thrown out in the industry, everyone will subconsciously answer two words: screenwriter.
According to the scale of China's entertainment industry, will China lack screenwriters? The answer, of course, is no.
China does have countless screenwriter practitioners, but it is quite sad that the level of many screenwriters often does not meet the recognition of the producer, and even in the current environment, some screenwriters write scripts that are much worse than original, and this is why Xu Rui focuses on adaptation, rather than looking around for scripts.
Whether there will be a good script, naturally there is, but Xingrui Company is still in the stage of crossing the river by feeling the stones, so when it has not seen certain results, it will not put all the investment on this at all, in that case, the risk is undoubtedly very large.
In contrast, those with a complete story structure and character creation are much less risky, one is more selective, and the other is that it is difficult to say whether the script can be loved by the audience before it is filmed into a story, but differently, any one that can be sought after by someone shows the readability, which is why there are still directors willing to remake the works of Jin Gu Erxia in the past many years, after all, successful examples are there, and there are still a large number of loyal readers.
The news that the company is preparing for a second online drama has already spread, Xu Rui did not deliberately conceal this aspect, but mobilized all employees within the company to recommend some works that are relatively difficult to adapt to him, as the saying goes, one person is short, three people are long, Xu Rui also wants to see if the employees can recommend him a work suitable for adaptation.
In the next period of time, Xu Rui was not on a shooting mission, almost every time he walked into his office, he could see the list of books sent by employees, and he searched according to the title of the book on the Internet afterwards, and found that his employees were quite reliable, and almost all of the works recommended were more popular works on various stations.
The book is good, Xu Rui also read some of it, and found that the storyline in it is much more interesting than the popular TV series today, but the only thing that gives him a headache is that the amount of investment required for these works is too large, even if the copyright fee is not considered, the investment in post-production special effects alone is not something that Xingrui can afford.
Speaking of these authors' brains, the brains are too big, especially in Xianxia, which destroys mountains and splits rocks at every turn, and even more exaggerated is raising his hand to destroy a planet, such a grand scene is not to mention Hollywood's Star Wars, even if it is Avatar, which is jokingly called an epic work, it is far behind.
Therefore, Xu Rui had to re-explain that his staff should focus on other themes, if possible, it is best to have a smaller adaptation cost, but unlimited business opportunities.
Of course, this kind of thinking is just Xu Rui's fantasy, and he also knows that the possibility is very small, how can it be that all good things are taken up by him alone?
The time came to mid-October, and the recording of "Extreme Challenge" has also passed half, unlike in the past, this time Xu Rui can be said to have spent a lot of energy on the post-editing of the program, and it could have been broadcast on Dragon TV after the recording of the third episode, but Xu Rui's forcible stop was delayed until all six episodes of the program were edited before it was sent to Dragon TV.
For this matter, Liu Tianming, the director of Dragon TV, almost didn't spray Xu Rui to death, because the schedule of "Extreme Challenge" had been set aside, but he didn't expect Xu Rui to be postponed for the first time, and Liu Tianming had to buy Xingrui's online variety show "The God of Even-drop Songs" to be broadcast temporarily to fill the gap.
Intentionally planting flowers, unintentionally planting willows in rows, Liu Tianming's unintentional move actually increased the ratings of Dragon TV by one percentage point, although "The God of Even-drop Songs" has been broadcast on the Internet for a long time, but most TV viewers still have a very fresh eye to watch this show, according to the statistics of CCTV Suofurui after the program was broadcast, "The God of Even-Drop Songs" was among the best in the same period, and almost none of the prime-time programs on Saturday could be compared with it, even Lake Provincial Satellite TV's "Happy Camp" It's also quite a bit different from it.
This discovery undoubtedly made Liu Tianming increase his confidence in the upcoming "Extreme Challenge" on Dragon TV, a program that has been broadcast on the Internet can still achieve high ratings on the TV screen, if the ratings of "Extreme Challenge" carefully created by Xu Rui himself are not bursting?
So, with excitement and apprehension, he sat in the studio on the night of the premiere of "Extreme Challenge", which was the first time he did not go home at night to stay at the TV station since he took office, and it was also the first time in the studio to stare at the monitor of real-time data statistics in the studio.
"Life or death, it's all up to you this time!" As the premiere time approached, Liu Tianming's heart beat wildly, and in order to maintain his majesty, he took a cup of tea and took a sip, but perhaps because he was too nervous, the hot water almost burned his tongue.
