Chapter 392: An Unexpected Call
Time flies, and during the period of late 2009 and early 2010, the entertainment industry has shown a strange feeling of 'calm'.
Although there are still newcomer debuts, singers releasing films, new movies, TV series, music constantly coming out, and various hype of star artists, for ordinary people, there is nothing particularly noteworthy.
In terms of celebrity artists, even if it is hype, most of them are not well-known star artists, and occasionally there are some famous star artists, but they are only at the level of 'light hype', and there are no important works that determine the future glory or not, and they will not spend their own 'fan integrity' to hype up crazily, after all, this thing is used once less once.
In terms of TV series, it seems that he has accepted his fate, and in the face of the two demonic TV series works of "The Inheritors" and "The Legend of Sword and Fairy III", which are currently on the air, even if they are full of confidence in their TV drama works, they don't want to compete head-on with these two works.
There are so many audiences, the market is so big, one work is slightly surplus, and it is indeed good for two demon-level TV series to compete with each other, but if three or even more such demon-level TV series are broadcast at the same time, it will not benefit everyone at all, and it will only dilute the ratings of all works, even if it is rich, no entertainment company will do it.
This kind of demon-level work is one or two every year, and you can wait until one of the works is over before officially broadcasting your own work, competing for that precious position, and running a company. Nature is about profit.
In terms of variety shows, the same is true. Although only the second season of "Where Are You Going, Dad" is on the air so far, it seems that there is still a certain market share that has not been occupied. It should be a very good time, but the question is......
There are three demons who are about to be born!
Two of them are undoubtedly new variety shows that Chu Shi has been keeping secret so far, and the other one is Zhou Shuhai's ambitious work "Jedi"!
The two most famous and hottest variety show producers in China, the most powerful name of Huaxia's 'King of Variety Shows', or the only two candidates who seem to be competing for the title of king, are competing for the pinnacle of the title of king. No one thinks that the quality of these two works will not be at the top level.
Almost everyone thinks that works that can be regarded as competing for the throne of 'variety shows', in terms of quality, are slightly better than the popular variety shows "Rules of Survival", "Where Are You Going, Dad", and "Voice of China" in recent years!
Although it has not yet been broadcast, it is basically certain that one of these two works will definitely be able to win the 2010 annual variety show ratings champion, and there is even a great chance. Another variety show was also able to win the second place of the year.
Some time ago, although these two works have been announced to the public and have begun to record them, they have been all the time. Neither work has officially announced the premiere time.
Chu Shi and Zhou Shuhai both had concerns, and the reason for their worries was obviously the other party. The only opponent who competes with himself for the title of "King of Variety Shows"! Of course, there may be something else beyond that. For example, Chu Shi was thinking about his new TV series, so he didn't make a decision for a long time.
But not so long ago. At the beginning of January 2010, Chu Shi and Zhou Shuhai seemed to have reached a consensus, and in less than five minutes, the entertainment company to which Guò belonged announced the broadcast time of the two works.
The ambitious work of Friendship Entertainment Company to enter the variety show industry, Zhou Shuhai's ambition after "The Law of Survival", "Jedi", will be officially broadcast on Friday, February 19, 2010, that is, on the sixth day of the first lunar month!
Another masterpiece of Ice World Entertainment Company after "Where Are You Going, Dad" and "Voice of China", which intends to completely establish the ambition of the top production company in the variety show industry, will be officially broadcast on the evening of Saturday, February 20, 2010, on the seventh day of the first lunar month.
The two variety shows are staggered by one day, and they can also ensure the income of the two works, which is indeed a win-win thing, although the head-to-head competition can be more fair and just PK, and the winner is finally divided, but whether it is in Chu Shi or in the eyes of the senior management of Friendship Entertainment Company, the battle of will is far less important than the interests of reality!
If you can get 100 viewers on both sides of the broadcast, if you choose to broadcast on the same day, you may only be able to get 60 or 70 viewers, and it is obvious that the former can maximize the benefits.
Ice World Entertainment Company is not a monopolist in the variety show industry, although it is better developed than Friendship Entertainment Company in variety shows, but both are essentially 'developing companies', rather than starting vicious competition now, it is better to choose a more profitable way to do it.
If one day Ice World Entertainment has developed into a near-monopoly position, it is time to think about how to snipe the excellent works of competitors, now, it is far from necessary.
At the beginning, both companies actually had this idea, but it stands to reason that Friday night time is obviously better than Saturday night's prime time, and the former's broadcast time will be more advantageous.
It's not too big, but if a work of the same quality airs on a Friday, it usually gets about 5% more than a Saturday rating, which doesn't seem like a big deal, but it's significant!
In the minds of Zhou Shuhai and Friendship Entertainment Company, whether it is himself or Chu Shi, it is impossible to willingly choose to broadcast his new variety show at another time, and he will also choose to broadcast it on Friday, after all, it is the competition for the king of variety shows, and Chu Shi will definitely not give up even the advantage of one and a half stars, which has caused the two companies and two works to also delay in determining the broadcast time, even if they have produced a lot of dramas.
Unexpectedly, Chu Shi really agreed!
Chu Shi's refreshment, whether it is Friendship Entertainment Company, Zhou Shuhai, or the employees of his own company, or the employees of Blueberry Terrace, they are all puzzled, like this. The two variety shows have not yet started head-to-head competition, and Chu Shi has already fallen into disadvantage!
First of all, it's Friday and Saturday! Natural. Zhou Shuhai's new variety show "Jedi" occupies a 5% advantage, on the other hand. At the time of the premiere, Zhou Shuhai also had a huge advantage!
February 19, 2010 is the sixth day of the first lunar month, for many families, this day is still a holiday, there will naturally be a lot of people in front of the TV to watch TV at night, but the next day, the legal holiday has officially ended! Even though it's Saturday, the vast majority of people are back at work, that's all. will widen the gap between the two variety shows a lot.
As long as Zhou Shuhai's new variety show "Jedi" is not too bad, and the gap between the two works is not particularly obvious, on the day of the premiere, Zhou Shuhai will have an advantage, at least 10% ahead of Chu Shi.
It's not a lie, if you get quite terrifying ratings at the beginning of the premiere, it will lay the foundation for the early advantage, unless the quality gap is slightly larger. Otherwise, Chu Shi's variety shows will always be suppressed by "Jedi".
What was Chu Shi responsible for making such a stupid decision?
This is what Zhou Shuhai and Friendship Entertainment Company are puzzled about, but since Chu Shi has made a decision, they themselves are also ready to fly. No matter what kind of hole cards Chu Shi has, he can only choose to take the move, so. The two companies also announced the premiere time of each work at the same time.
In addition to these two demonic variety shows, in the process of approaching the Spring Festival. Huaxia TV will hold the annual Spring Festival Gala, in addition. Other local stations will also hold evening parties of various TV stations, and even in the week after the Spring Festival, the rebroadcast of the evening parties of various TV stations will definitely have a lot of ratings, compared with the high ratings of both sides, it is definitely no less than the variety shows of Chu Shi and Zhou Shuhai.
Fortunately, the gala led by the Spring Festival Gala is not included in the category of variety shows, otherwise the annual variety show ratings champion may belong to the Spring Festival Gala, even if Chu Shitian is a genius, it is impossible to compete for this demon-like work, although there will be many viewers complaining every year, but it is undeniable that his ratings are really terrifying!
With such three mountain-like works shrouded in the period after the New Year, if any entertainment company dares to release a large-scale Zuò variety show during this time period, what is the difference between looking for death?
The variety show stage at the beginning of 2010 will definitely belong to Chu Shi and Zhou Shuhai!
Therefore, the entire entertainment industry seems to be extremely calm in the period before the New Year, and if you want to talk about waves, I am afraid that there is only one film industry, right?
After all, the summer file is the schedule with the highest audience base in the film industry of almost every country, including Huaxia, and many top directors will choose to choose to officially release their film works for a whole year, or even longer, during this time period.
Therefore, the summer file can be described as a must for top directors, at this time of year, the competition will be quite fierce, and because movies have a higher status than TV series and music, after the summer file hits, other industries basically have to make way for it, which has caused music, TV series, and variety shows to be deserted.
Of course, the competition in the Chinese film industry is so fierce, but Chu Shi doesn't pay much attention to it, just because this circle has nothing to do with his current self at all!
After participating in the movie "Those Years", Chu Shi started to work hard in the TV drama industry, and he didn't choose to work hard directly in the film industry, and he also planned not to touch movies for the time being in the next few years, after all, whether it was himself or the company, he lacked some accumulation.
And the people around Chu Shi, although Fan Bingling is ready to enter the film industry, he has not started, Zhao Qingwei also started the final learning process after filming the movie "Those Years", and other close friends of Chu Shi have no characters in the film industry, so Chu Shi naturally will not pay too much attention to the film industry.
Every day is to go to school to class, enjoy life, and there is only such a new variety show in terms of work, an average of half of the time is taken out every week to shoot, and three episodes of the program are filmed every week, so far, eighteen episodes of variety shows have been filmed, and under the supervision and participation of Chu Shi, these eighteen episodes of variety shows have also completed the post-production, witnessed by Chu Shi and many senior executives of Ice World Entertainment Company, and carried out three rounds of review work. The audit has even been completed today. If it is officially released, it can be broadcast on Blueberry Channel at any time.
If it's broadcast on TV. It can be broadcast for at least four months, making Chu Shiqing extremely leisurely!
Of course. In fact, if Chu Shi and others were at full power, they would be able to shoot at least 20 episodes of variety shows during this time, but helplessly, as of now, Chu Shi has not completely determined whether this variety show will be a quarterly variety show or a weekly variety show, so he will shoot these eighteen episodes first.
If you shoot a seasonal variety show, Chu Shi only needs to spare two days to shoot the last two episodes. If it is made into a weekend variety show, it is even simpler, as long as Chu Shi and others take time out to shoot uninterruptedly, Liu Zaishi is a professional variety show, and the other few people are all star artists under their command, so it is not difficult to coordinate.
is also because the new variety show is about to be broadcast, the series stayed in the eighteenth episode and stopped filming for the time being, Chu Shi had no other entertainment activities at all except for school, and the whole person was a lot more leisurely.
It's a pity that my relatives and friends are not idle. Chu Haoyang took Guoguo around to perform all day long, Tangtang took over the filming of a new drama, Fan Bingling had his own work plan, and Tang Yanran and Liu Yushi were filming the TV series "The Legend of Sword and Fairy". is also actively preparing to participate in two works of Dimensional Entertainment.
Even during the Chinese New Year, because Chu Haoyang received the evening party organized by Mango Channel, he took Guoguo on stage to sing and did not go home. Chu Shi could only take Tangtang to the site of Mango Terrace, and the family was at the scene and the hotel. Spent this Spring Festival - it's not that no one invited Chu Shi, it can even be said. In addition to the Spring Festival Gala of Huaxia Stage, as long as Chu Shi nods his head, the other local stations can be on stage lightly, and they can sing a song on stage on such an occasion, although they can improve their attention, but for Chu Shi, what is lacking is not this at all.
Exposure is such a thing, as long as Chu Shi is willing, there will be no shortage at all, and even after the new variety show is broadcast, Chu Shi is likely to appear on TV every week, and will accompany the audience and fans all the time in the future.
The rather high appearance fee is nothing to Chu Shi, and Chu Shi's rather lazy personality naturally made Liu Hong refuse them all.
In this way, Chu Shi thought that it was very calm, Chu Shi went from 2009 to 2010, and the process was extremely hot, but at the end of the year, it was extremely quiet.
"Three more days!"
On the fourth day of the first lunar month, after being busy for several days, Chu Shi, Chu Haoyang, and the candy sisters finally completed all the work in a short period of time, and returned home to enjoy the hard-won reunion and comfortable life. ”
"And then the day will be the day my new variety show premieres! Although the process of competition between the two variety shows will be very long, in a few days, this battle will officially begin! ”
Even Chu Shi is full of excitement and anticipation when facing such a scene, although Chu Shi firmly believes that he will definitely be able to become a rare bigwig in the entertainment industry in the future, but at least so far, he is still a long way from this level.
But now, Chu Shi is only one step away from the title of the highest glory in the variety show industry, the king of variety shows! The battle between himself and Zhou Shuhai may also be the pinnacle competition in the variety show industry in the next few years, in such a situation, who can handle it safely?
Even Chu Shi is looking forward to this battle!
"Don't worry, my son is the best!"
Chu Haoyang also encouraged Chu Shi at the right time, "This time, Tangtang and Guoguo will accompany you at home and witness this miraculous scene with you!" ”
The title of the king of movies, the king of television, and the king of music is too rare, after all, there are countless practitioners in these industries, and if you want to become a well-deserved king, no one has the courage to do this, and it is rare that the kind of demon that can surpass the second place is born, but in the variety show industry, because the current competition is not very big and the market is not fully formed, Chu Shi stood up and became the most likely candidate to win this position, and anyone who can have a relationship with Chu Shi is honored.
Chu Haoyang, Candy Sisters, these relatives! Liu Yushi, Tang Yanran, and Fan Bingling are three confidants! Zhao Qingwei and Jin Yubin are these friends! Miyazaki Nami and Liu Hong's subordinates are all proud of Chu Shi, and naturally they are very much looking forward to Chu Shi being able to obtain this supreme glory.
"Buzz!"
Just when Chu Shi was looking forward to it, the mobile phone suddenly made a vibrating sound, which made Chu Shi puzzled.
If other people want to contact Chu Shi, they will call Liu Hong directly, and Chu Shi has already instructed Liu Hong to spend the next few days at home to accompany the Candy Sisters and Chu Haoyang, if it is not urgent, they are not allowed to disturb themselves, but now they suddenly called? Moreover, through the caller ID, Chu Shi also found that this was a very unfamiliar phone number, and he was naturally puzzled in his heart.
But in the end, I picked up the phone, and as soon as I picked up the phone, I heard a middle-aged male voice on the other end of the phone, "Excuse me, is it Mr. Coarse?" ”
Mr. Rough Four?
Chu Shi was stunned for a moment, and then felt from the other party's accent that the other party should be a foreigner, and the name 'Rough Four' should be 'Chu Shi', right?
"I'm Chu Shi, I don't know if you are ......"
Chu Shi also carefully tested the identity of the other party, after all, there are not many people who can have their own private phone number, and this person Chu Shi does not know, he is still a foreigner, so he is naturally puzzled.
Could it be that this man is ...... (To be continued......)
