Chapter 65: Children's Channel
"The most embarrassing request is the one that doesn't have a requirement." Li Yue also rolled her eyes at Han Xue, and then asked, "Mom, I remember that each channel of your TV station is independent, and you didn't care about the affairs of the children's channel before, why did you suddenly put you in charge of the affairs of the TV series?" β
Han Xue said helplessly: "This is also a helpless thing, the ratings of the children's channel are too low, and it has been more than ten years since its establishment, and it has always been beyond its means." For a long time, it has been supported by the benefits of other channels, and it has become a burden, and it will not be possible to save it if you don't want to save it. β
Li Changhua nodded and said: "As far as I know, the ratings of the children's channels of domestic satellite TV are not high, and even CCTV is not much better." But if you don't do it, you can't do it, this is the heart disease of almost every TV station. β
"The main thing is that there is still no good program support, so our TV station has to put this matter out and let everyone participate in it and find a way to solve it." Han Xue sighed and said: "This is the last fight, if it can't be successful, then you can only reduce expenses in the future, and let the children's channel continue to be rotten." β
If you can't do it well, you can't do it, then of course, the final result will only be rotten, and the resources of the TV station will not be inclined to the channel with no ratings, and it will only get worse and worse in the end.
To be honest, the ratings themselves are very fictitious, it is not based on the ratings of every household in the country to make statistics, just select a few in each region as a model household, and use these few as the basis for statistics.
It's not difficult to increase ratings, just go to the model household's house with your things and let them broadcast the channel's programs on time, and this kind of thing is not something that no one has ever done.
Although the ratings are not very reliable, it is indeed the standard for measuring a channel or program, if the ratings are high, the advertising revenue can rise with it, and the ratings cannot be mixed in such a non-rigorous situation, you can imagine how miserable the children's channel is.
Li Yue frowned and said, "If you say this, it's equivalent to giving up completely, right?" Mom, aren't you cooperating with film and television companies, are they only responsible for filming and not involved in the creation of zΓ o at all? β
"That's not it, the film and television company will also solicit scripts, but how can those people compare to our family Aqiu." Han Xue said as a matter of course: "So of course I need Ah Qiu's help." β
Han Xue was proud of Zhang Qiuxi, but at this time Zhang Qiuxi also understood that this matter was said to ask her for help, but in fact, it was more suitable for Han Xue to find her a chance.
Domestic screenwriters are not welcomed, it is not easy to become a screenwriter, whether there is a level or not is secondary, the most important thing is to have connections, otherwise no matter how well the story is written, no one will shoot. Countless screenwriters have used the scripts they have worked so hard to create to sell them, and in many cases it is impossible for even the managers of film and television companies to see them.
On the contrary, as long as there are connections, no matter how bad the script is, it can be put on the TV screen or theater in a grand manner, and the biggest root cause of Zhang Qiuxi's previous two scripts being adopted is Li Changhua.
Li Changhua also said: "Today's screenwriters almost create zΓ o for the sake of creation, and they don't invest in emotional ideas at all, and I don't think that the screenwriters of those film and television companies can write stories that children like." But Ah Qiu, you are still young, there shouldn't be any generation gap, and you're not as impetuous as others. β
"Uncle and aunt, when it comes to the children's channel, I really feel something." Zhang Qiuxi also said helplessly: "I also know the reason why the children's channel must save zΓ i, we don't talk about this matter, we have to drag a channel aunt who is rotten for rotten, your TV station will feel a deep headache, but in fact, the most bitter is the children." β
Li Yue's family listened quietly, and Zhang Qiuxi continued: "There are very few dramas and programs suitable for children and teenagers, but there is a channel dedicated to them, but it is still like this, how can their lives be enriched? β
"Ah Qiu is really right, I never watched children's channels before." Li Yue nodded sympathetically.
"This is indeed a common phenomenon, this problem is not only in TV dramas, but also in the scarcity of books and songs suitable for children and teenagers." Han Xue sighed again.
"Ah Qiu, what do you think is the biggest problem with the children's channel now?" Li Changhua thought about it and couldn't help asking, after Zhang Qiuxi said this, he also became interested in this topic.
"The show is too naΓ―ve, and children's favorite cartoons are all domestic garbage, and the preaching flavor is too strong, probably only young children will watch it." Zhang Qiuxi said unceremoniously: "The so-called children's channel has been changed to a children's channel, and the only little ratings now are estimated to be brought by children, right?" β
In these aspects, the two time and space are also the same, in the previous life, Zhang Qiuxi felt that if he had children in the future, he must not let them watch any kind of program, if it is not good, it will affect their IQ and become brain-dead.
Now, it is impossible to have children in this life, so there is no need to worry about this problem anymore, but Zhang Qiuxi is not happy at all when he thinks of this.
"These problems can only change slowly, and our TV station also discussed for a long time before deciding to invest in TV dramas to try." Han Xue said: "If the ratings increase, Taili may invest funds to rectify it, of course, whether it can succeed is also a later story." β
"If you want to talk about TV series for all ages, the best choice should be comedy, right? Needless to say, the tragedy is too strict, and children don't like to watch it, and they can't understand it. There is a requirement, and Zhang Qiuxi will do the elimination method in accordance with this requirement.
What TV series is most popular right now? Of course, it is family ethics and palace fighting dramas, but it is okay to say that the dispute between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is a common social phenomenon, and it is not clear why palace fighting dramas are popular Zhang Qiuxi, I only know that this is a fact.
You can't see that when you turn on the TV, you can always see braided dramas, so it is said that the only contribution of the Qing Dynasty to the history of the Celestial Dynasty is that it has provided countless themes for those film and television drama producers.
These genres can obviously be vetoed directly, Han Xue nodded and said: "Comedy is indeed our positioning, and it is best to use the type of family carnival, so that it is suitable for a family to sit in front of the TV and watch." β
What family life needs is warmth and laughter, no family would want to sit in front of the TV and cry or think about life, Zhang Qiuxi began to think about which TV series he watched before was suitable.
In her previous life, although she was not interested in children's channels, she would inevitably come into contact with some when she changed channels, in addition to brain-dead cartoons, there were also some dramas made in order to sell toys.
For example, "The Fire Boy King", which is like a thunderous existence, what the plot is, Zhang Qiuxi, who has watched it for less than three minutes, is not clear, but the stiff performance like a corpse is enough to make her thunder and tender.
Such a TV series may really be liked by children and teenagers, but it is too far away from the old and young, Zhang Qiuxi said: "In this case, it is best to describe the story of family life." β
"I think it's supposed to be a family comedy. Ah Qiu, what story do you want to write? Li Yue was already a little impatient.
Zhang Qiuxi pondered and said: "There are many types of family comedies, since it is to be broadcast on children's channels, it is best to use children as the leading story." Let's start by assuming that there is a family where the parents are middle class and they have three lovely children. β
"Why three? Most of them are only children now. Li Yue followed up and asked.
Because the TV series that Zhang Qiuxi thought of was set up like this, of course, she had to explain it herself, so she said: "Because there are many people, it will be lively, and there will be more room to play when writing stories." If it is a lonely family of three, how can there be so many stories to write. β
"That's right, but this is not in line with reality, and I guess the audience will have doubts." Han Xue also expressed her opinion.
In fact, where is it estimated that there will be, but there will definitely be. If it is filmed like this, even if it can pass the trial, the audience will have to scold the mother after watching it, why will others be sterilized, superborn will be forced to induce labor, and the house will be petuniaged, but the family can still live so comfortably?
"I also considered this problem, so I can only let the parents remarry with their children."
"But even if each person has one child, there is one more?"
"Then only one of them can be born abroad." In the eyes of Li Yue's family, Zhang Qiuxi was very irresponsible to send this "child" abroad in order to write a story, but if it was not handled like this, then this story should be called the superborn guerrillas.
In fact, this is the solution of the original "Family with Children", and this TV series is actually an imitation of an American drama, in which the characters are also identified as a pair of parents and three children, the difference is that the evil American imperialists do not engage in family planning, and the character design does not have to be so troublesome.
"Nowadays, there are many rich people who go abroad to give birth, and this kind of treatment is close to life." Li Changhua nodded, indicating that he agreed with this way of handling.
Zhang Qiuxi looked at Li Changhua and Han Xue for a while, and said: "Let's assume further that the father of this family is a child drama worker, and the mother is a doctor or nurse. β
"Is this based on my parents, I thought my mother would also work in a TV station." Li Yue laughed.
Zhang Qiuxi scratched his head and said: "Different career settings are actually similar to having to arrange three children, and the same career is too simple, which is not conducive to creating dramatic conflicts." β
"You don't have to use me as a prototype. Ah Qiu, you go on. Han Xue was more interested in the story that Zhang Qiuxi wanted to describe.
Zhang Qiuxi said: "The story is probably to describe the joys and troubles in the life of this family, and it takes time to conceive each story." β
