Chapter 456: Best Celebrity Chef Candidate
After returning home from dinner with Lin's father and Lin's mother, he accompanied the second elder to watch TV in the living room, Lin Yuquan returned to the room, and then immediately turned on the computer, logged in to his mailbox, and clicked on the email sent to him by Shen Yuan in the morning.
The food variety show is called "Twelve Treasures", which is a food outdoor reality show, the production process is not complicated, inviting a star who is good at cooking as a chef, and his celebrity friends in the circle to travel around the world, search for food from all over the world, and present a fascinating gluttonous meal for the audience.
Echoing the name of the program, there are a total of 12 stops on the food tour, and the preliminary plan is that each of the eight major cuisines of Chinese cuisine will fight a battle, and the remaining four stations will be overseas, including Paris, France, Milan, Italy, Sydney, Australia, and Istanbul, Turkey.
At the same time, "Twelve Treasures" is not just as simple as making food or eating, as an outdoor reality show, the show has friendship and stories, and the frolic between stars will be the biggest attraction of the show.
After watching the project of "Twelve Treasures", Lin Yuquan is generally satisfied, although the focus of the show is more inclined to entertainment, but such a show is indeed easy to be liked by young people, and the most important factor affecting the success of this show is the choice of star chefs.
This candidate needs to meet three conditions: first, good cooking skills, which is fundamental; second, its own popularity is very high; Third, they are popular in the circle and have many big-name friends, and the latter two are the biggest attractions to attract young people to watch.
Only if all three conditions are met at the same time. In order to maximize the broadcast effect of "Twelve Treasures".
Frankly. The selection of this candidate was no easy task. But he doesn't need to worry about it, this has its own source of pain, Lin Yuquan showed a smile on his face, and followed the plan of the music talent show.
"The Voice of China", this is a music reality show, which fully fits Lin Yuquan's ideas, purely based on sound and music, and does not care about age, gender, beauty and ugliness.
According to Lin Yuquan's conception. The competition system should not be too many, the competition must be fierce enough, the program will abandon large-scale auditions, but through external solicitation and the director team to major music academies across the country and even bars, Internet "singing bars" and other platforms to find the way to initially lock the candidates, and then after the director group, the music group of layers of selection, and finally select 100-200 players with outstanding musical strength.
In order to create a better sound effect, the program will be in the form of separation of production and broadcasting, and the contestants will enter a specially built studio for recording, and after strict post-production, it will be broadcast on the TV station.
And the show will invite four big-name singers to serve as mentors, what is a mentor. The mentor will give one-on-one guidance to the contestants in order to present a more intense competition. The mentor will compete for the outstanding students in the audition in the early stage of the program, form a team of 12 people, and then guide the students to win the final championship through layers of competition.
When competing for students, the fight between mentors is undoubtedly a very important highlight of the show.
In addition, in order to reflect the essential pursuit of sound and music, the instructor will turn his back to the contestant and select the trainee entirely through singing, and only after selecting the trainee can he turn around.
If there is only one mentor who turns, then the student will belong to the mentor who turns, and if there are more than one mentor who turns, there will be fierce competition between the mentors to convince the trainee in their own way that the student chooses the mentor of their choice.
With the planning of watching "The Voice of China", Lin Yuquan's eyes became brighter and brighter, and after the final viewing, the corners of his mouth turned up slightly, showing great satisfaction.
Compared with previous music talent shows, "The Voice of China" has achieved innovation in many places, and whether it is the mentor's fight, the selection of students behind their backs, and the one-on-one guidance for students, they are all full of highlights, which makes him look forward to investing heavily and producing high-quality programs.
Although he has never produced a variety show, but generally speaking, making a show is a figure out from making a movie, Lin Yuquan almost didn't have to think about it to understand the key to the success of the show, it is nothing more than a mentor, a student, and a candidate for the behind-the-scenes creative team, and it is still that sentence, he has Shen Yuan to worry about, he only needs to check it in the end.
With the Olympic Games approaching, the whole of Kyoto was enveloped in a strong Olympic atmosphere, and the next morning, Lin Yuquan came to Akebo Film Company again.
The preparation before the start of the film is very important, and a very important part of the preparation is the communication between the director and the behind-the-scenes production team members.
As Lin Yuquan's new work, it should also be a film that will break the highest investment record for Chinese films, the main creative team behind "Immediate Rescue" is naturally extremely luxurious, the soundtrack is Zhao Jiping, the soundtrack master who previously cooperated with "Huo Yuanjia", the photography and photography director is Zhao Fei, the famous photographer Zhao Fei who cooperated with "Red Cliff", the art director is Xi Zhongwen who cooperated with "Painted Skin", and the modeling designer Zhang Shuping, such as lighting, recording, props, and set designers are all top elites in the Chinese film industry.
Due to the many things involved, Lin Yuquan's communication with everyone lasted until the afternoon, and then he kept asking Shen Yuan to go to Ding's office to discuss variety shows.
"Sit, I've already read the plan book, the idea is very good, when are you going to start the production of the two variety shows?" Lin Yuquan said straight to the point.
"Next year, it will take a long time to prepare for both programs, especially "The Voice of China", which not only requires a large number of behind-the-scenes production personnel, but also takes a long time to select students." Shen Yuan said.
"Oh, next year, it's not too late, I see you don't have a production budget in your proposal, what's the reason for that?" Lin Yuquan nodded and then asked.
Shen Yuan glanced at Ding Value: "The main reason is that the budget is not easy to determine, it largely depends on the candidates for celebrity chefs and singer mentors and the level of requirements for the quality of the program. ”
"When it comes to quality, it's always about excellence. This is what I have always asked for at Dawning Films. Like "The Voice of China". I hope to create the best music feast, as for the star chef and singer mentor, does Director Shen have the right person now? Lin Yuquan said unhurriedly.
"Because "The Voice of China" has not determined the budget, we have not yet started to consider it specifically, and "Twelve Sharp Flavors" We have collected stars who are good at cooking in the entertainment circles across the Taiwan Strait and three places, including Lin Yilun, Huang Lei, Nicholas Tse, Chen Zhipeng, Da S, Zhao Zhongxiang, Selina in SHE, Liang Jingru, among which Nicholas Tse is the most popular, and Chinese and Western food are involved. Although the price is certainly the highest, it is undoubtedly an extremely suitable candidate; Huang Lei, Da S, Selina, and Liang Jingru are slightly less popular, the first three are good at home cooking, and the latter are good at Western food. As for Lin Yilun, Chen Zhipeng, and Zhao Zhongxiang, given their low popularity. I don't think so. Shen Yuan said.
"Nicholas Tse, Big S, Huang Lei? Lao Ding, who do you think is the most suitable? Lin Yuquan turned his head to look at Ding Value.
"Consider maximizing the effect of the program. Naturally, it is Nicholas Tse, his popularity and influence are obviously better than those of Da S and Huang Lei, and he has known many Hong Kong stars for many years after his debut; Big S is highly topical and cost-effective, but I prefer to choose a male star; Although Huang Lei is not as good as Nicholas Tse in terms of popularity and appearance, he is enough to make up for it as an artist of the Yuquan family, and his good popularity in the circle is also recognized, and more importantly, we can better arrange the artists of the Yuquan family to appear in the show. Ding Zhi said unhurriedly.
"In other words, Lao Ding, you are more inclined to Huang Lei!" Lin Yuquan said with a smile.
"If you only consider it from the three of them, I do prefer Huang Lei as the star chef of "Twelve Treasures", but I actually have a better candidate." Ding Wei's tone changed.
"Oh, who?" Lin Yuquan showed an interested look in his eyes.
"That's you, boss." Ding value cut the railway.
"That's right, it's you, boss." Shen Yuan followed closely behind, looking at Lin Yuquan's gaze extremely hot.
"You say I'm more suitable?" Lin Yuquan smiled dumbly.
"Yes, there is no better candidate than the boss in the three places, let's talk about cooking skills first, as long as you have watched "Hurricane Rescue", who doesn't know that the amazing cooking scene in it was really filmed in the studio, boss, your extraordinary cooking skills have been recognized by countless people; Secondly, in terms of popularity and influence, Hugh said that the two sides of the Taiwan Strait and three places, even if it is global, among the stars of the younger generation, the popularity and influence of the boss are the highest, and Nicholas Tse is not comparable at all; Moreover, there are many actors in the Yuquan family who are friends with the boss or have worked with you, compared to Huang Lei, the boss and you are undoubtedly more suitable for them to be on the show, the only question is, boss, can you find time? ”
Speaking of the end, Ding Wei sighed, if he is an ordinary star, he has the opportunity to be the protagonist of "Twelve Treasures" created by Dawning Films, so he naturally can't ask for it, but Lin Yuquan is different, not to mention that Lin Yuquan doesn't have to care about starring in a food outdoor reality show like "Twelve Treasures", Lin Yuquan is going to shoot the IMAX3D version of "Wild Legends: Hundred Tribes Fight" next year, I'm afraid it will be difficult to find time, "Twelve Treasures" is important, but how can it affect "Wild Legends: Hundred Tribes" What about shooting? That's hundreds of millions of dollars.
Shen Yuan obviously knew this, and the fiery color in his eyes quickly receded, although he was in charge of the variety show production, but as a member of Shuguang Films, he naturally hoped that Lin Yuquan could make more movies like everyone else, take a look at the movies Lin Yuquan had shot before, compared with the huge income created by those movies, a food variety show is really insignificant, and let Lin Yuquan be the star chef of "Twelve Treasures", you can only think about it.
Lin Yuquan fell into deep thought, before he just looked at the plan book, and did not specifically consider the candidates, now after Ding Value, he has to admit that he is definitely the most suitable star chef candidate for "Twelve Treasures", at this point, he does not need to be modest, this is the case, speaking of which, at the meeting at the beginning of the year, he personally decided to make a food variety show and a music talent variety show, if he has no interest in Ding Value's proposal is false, as Ding Value said, time is the biggest problem.
"Director Shen, how long is it expected to take to shoot the 12 episodes?" After pondering for a while, Lin Yuquan asked, the format of "Twelve Treasures" suited his appetite very much, and if he had time, he wouldn't mind being a star chef.
"At least 3 months." Shen Yuan's gaze became fiery again, and since Lin Yuquan asked, he naturally expressed his interest.
"So long?" Lin Yuquan was a little surprised.
"There is no way, because the 12 stations are scattered in the north and south of the country, and even all over the world, it takes a long time to prepare for the itinerary and filming in various places, and it also takes enough time to ensure the quality, and it is already relatively fast to shoot one program a week." Shen Yuan said with a wry smile.
Lin Yuquan nodded: "That's it, "Twelve Treasures" will make preparations first, but I am not in a hurry to invite star chefs, for the time being, I am not sure if I have time, and after the filming of "Immediate Rescue", I will decide depending on the situation." As for "The Voice of China", you don't need to consider the budget first, you can consider the music mentor candidates and start the corresponding preparations according to how to make the program better. Just remember one thing, the premise of building a series of gold mines is to have a successful start, only if it is done well at the beginning can there be a steady stream of follow-up, and only if it is done well, it is possible to sell abroad, and I am looking forward to the two variety shows that are the pioneers of our dawning film variety show can achieve these two things. ”
"Okay, boss, I'll give it my all." Shen Yuan nodded solemnly, his tone was extremely firm, although he had produced several variety shows on Star TV, but none of them could be supported by Lin Yuquan as much as a large amount of money, which made him very excited and expectant, and he was finally able to let go of his hands and feet to do it.
chatted with the two for a while, and Lin Yuquan immediately left Shuguang Film Company, but did not return to Ziyu Villa immediately.
"What are you going to cook for the evening?" As soon as Liu Shishi got in the car and closed the car door, Lin Yuquan asked with a smile, for Shi Shi to take the initiative to meet Lin's father and Lin's mother, and cook and cook, although he had a headache Yifei's side, but on the whole, he was extremely happy in his heart.
"You'll know when the time comes." Liu Shishi smiled brightly.
"So mysterious, well, I'm looking forward to what kind of surprise you can bring." Lin Yuquan smiled slightly and drove away.
"Oh, what kind of reason should I use to meet my uncle and aunt?" In a room full of warm style, Liu Yifei held a delicate and round chin in his hand, and his expression looked extremely distressed. (To be continued......)
