Chapter 360: The Decision to Retreat to the Background!
"All male guests? Female regular guests are not considered? Zhang Yibei looked at Xu Ruifa and asked.
Xu Rui immediately shook his head when he heard this, and explained: "You also know that I have cooperated with Zhejiang Satellite TV in a program called "Run, Brother" before, so I plan to change the overall style of this show, including the positioning of the guests. If the positioning of the running man is youthful and idolized, then what I want to reflect in this "Extreme Challenge" is the kind of mature, wise, witty, and manly friendship emotions in it. ”
I see. Zhang Yibei was able to understand it at one point, and as soon as Xu Rui's words came out, she immediately understood what Xu Rui wanted to express.
Moreover, as a planner, the most unacceptable thing is to copy the show, and changing the soup without changing the medicine may be nothing to the audience, but for any planner or even producer, it is a very failed case.
Therefore, Zhang Yibei is particularly able to understand the reason why Xu Rui did this.
From the concept of variety shows, you can feel that Xu Rui has put a lot of effort into this "Extreme Challenge" show, although this document only analyzes the composition of the links in the first recording in detail, but from a professional point of view, it is not difficult to see that these are interlocking, as well as the alternatives after dealing with the guests' emergencies, it can be said that they are very detailed, no wonder Xu Rui has so much confidence in this show that has not yet started recording.
Obviously, with Zhang Yibei's eyes in the industry for many years, she immediately felt that "Extreme Challenge" was an outdoor show worth spending a lot of money to create, but what made Zhang Yibei quite puzzled was the guests drafted by Xu Rui.
For example, Sun Lei, Huang Lei, and Huang Bo are all recognized acting schools in the entertainment industry today, especially Huang Lei, in addition to filming outside, he also has to take into account the acting courses of Nortel College.
"I know Luo Xiang, the little pig, but who are this Wang Xun and Yixing?" Zhang Yibei said strangely.
"Wang Xun must have some impressions, he once starred in "Crazy Stone", although he is only a supporting role, but I think he has a strong sense of variety show, and he should be able to perform very well in the show. As for Yixing...... Speaking of Sister Zhang, you should know better, in the early years, when you worked at Jingshi, this little guy also participated in the draft called "Star Academy" of Jingshi at that time. Xu Rui looked at Zhang Yibei with a smile.
"Star Academy? I think this seems to be a Long Dan show, right? Zhang Yibei asked with a somewhat ugly face, "At that time, this show was not broadcast nationwide, and its influence was not good, but since you said that Yixing participated in the draft in 04, why is it that he is not famous in the entertainment industry now, to be honest, I have never heard of his name before." ”
"It's not surprising, as far as I know, he is now poached by South Korea's S.M as a trainee, and he was only thirteen or fourteen years old when he participated in "Star Academy", even if you have seen it before, you can't recognize it now." Xu Rui saw that Zhang Yibei still had some doubts on her face, as if she couldn't understand why Xu Rui would invite a trainee to participate in his show, so Xu Rui had no choice but to continue to explain.
"I know it's hard for you to understand why you found such a little-known person to participate in "Extreme Challenge", but in fact, this has something to do with my positioning of each guest, and I am more optimistic about Yixing's future potential."
Xu Rui also knows that this explanation is a bit far-fetched, but he can't say to Zhang Yibei that Yixing will debut as an EXO lead dancer in the future, let alone say that there is such a natural little brother as Yixing in the original extreme challenge, right?
Although she was not too satisfied with Xu Rui's explanation, Zhang Yibei didn't say anything in the end, after all, "Extreme Challenge" is Xu Rui's show, even if she has a good relationship with Xu Rui, but a kind reminder is due, but blindly dissuasion is a bit too much.
"So this time you participated in "Extreme Challenge" as an artist?" Zhang Yibei suddenly seemed to have discovered something, and asked very unexpectedly.
You must know that Xu Rui has been famous since he was a little famous to this day, basically every time he acts as a producer and plans a show, he will personally participate in it, and this time, Zhang Yibei deliberately checked the candidates for the guests in the document and found that there was no name of Xu Rui among them, and there was not even the option of the main coffee, so this means that Xu Rui is controlling the show as a completely retired person this time.
This has never been done before.
It seems that he had already guessed that Zhang Yibei would ask this question, Xu Rui showed a faint smile at the corner of his mouth, and said in a very gentle tone: "As the planner and producer of a show, in fact, it is not too good to participate in the recording as a guest, at least when designing some links, this group of people under me can't bypass me at all, since this is the case, then what's the point?" ”
"Then aren't you worried that the ratings of "Extreme Challenge" are dismal because of your participation?"
"If that's the case, it can only mean that I, the producer and planner, are incompetent, in fact, I thought about it, I decided not to participate in the recording of variety shows as a regular guest, especially Xingrui Company's own programs, now Xingrui Company's variety show has you and Brother Han here, basically I don't need to work hard anymore, I plan to focus more on film and television production in the future.
Su Yi should also tell you that I am looking for IP all over the world these days, looking for novel themes suitable for adaptation, the purpose is very simple, one is for Xingrui Company to develop and grow in the field of film and television, and the other is also an opportunity to package its artists, we have our own broadcast platform, I believe that as long as the operation is done properly, slowly its artists will let more netizens know on our iQiyi platform, which is also the overall plan of Xingrui Company in the next few years. ”
Xu Rui's words couldn't help but make Zhang Yibei a little stunned, she didn't expect Xu Rui to plan to go directly from the front of the stage to the backstage, and no longer record his own variety shows as a regular guest.
For such a big matter, Xu Rui didn't discuss it with anyone, so he made such a hasty decision, is this a bit too impulsive?
"Rui, you really don't think about it anymore? You must know that your foothold is in the field of variety shows, if you abandon this piece, even your other careers may be affected, what are artists most afraid of? Lack of exposure! The biggest advantage of you doing variety shows is that you can maintain your own popularity and not decline, are you sure you want to retreat into the background? Zhang Yibei stood up very excitedly.
