Chapter 120 Strategic cooperation with Phoenix TV

"The Story of the Cooking Class" is a film that reflects the life of the cooking class of the grassroots company of the Air Force, through the vivid and vivid daily small things that happened to the six young cooking soldiers, the fiery and colorful life of the barracks is vividly interpreted and interesting.

In the previous life, this TV series was popular all over the country, not only set high ratings, but also made the audience remember the vivid characters in the play, and later broadcast the second and third parts one after another, and they have also won a proud reputation, and they are still talked about by the audience.

Chen Lin chose this sitcom as the company's second work, and in addition to the fact that it is indeed a classic, the main consideration is the cost.

This kind of sitcom has high requirements for the script, and the few characters, the simple venue, the small investment, and the high income are naturally the best choice for companies with good and insufficient strength.

Chen Lin has a list in his heart, "The Story of the Cooking Class", "Wulin Gaiden", "Love Love Apartment", "Dragon Gate Dart Game" and other excellent sitcoms are all in his shooting plan.

The first part of the choice of cooking class is mainly based on the audience's acceptance, if the last three parts are remade in 98, he is very doubtful that the audience who has not been educated by the Internet can accept it? To be safe, I still chose the story of the cooking class as the company's second TV series.

In the next two days, Chen Lin and 4 screenwriters discussed the script of the cooking class, after two days of getting along, Chen Lin was relieved of the ability of the 4 screenwriters, especially the talent of one of the screenwriters Zhang Yixin, who is not inhibited and unsociable at work, but he is particularly talented in comedy.

Of course, the 4 screenwriters admired him even more, and Chen Lin's endless funny jokes made them laugh more times in the past two days than in the previous 20 years.

After arranging the creation of the script, Chen Lin and Yu Yu went to Hong Kong on the third day.

The purpose of going to Hong Kong is to negotiate variety show cooperation with Phoenix Satellite TV, as the saying goes, eggs can't be put in one basket, and cooperating with other TV stations is Chen Lin's established strategy.

The negotiations between "Two Days and One Night" and Hunan Satellite TV a few years ago allowed him to speed up the pace of finding other strategic partners. After and Shanghai Dragon TV, he found Phoenix Satellite TV.

This cooperation with Phoenix Satellite TV is not only "Happy Camp", Chen Lin hopes to reach a more extensive strategic cooperation with it.

When Chen Lin personally called Liu Changle, chairman of Phoenix, he received an enthusiastic response from the other party, and the two hit it off, and Liu Changle soon sent an invitation letter.

As soon as Chen Lin and his party got off the spiral staircase of the plane, Yu Yu made a phone call, and after the phone was connected, Yu Yu's salutation attracted Chen Lin's attention.

"Senior brother, I've already arrived at the airport."

"Senior sister, I'm waiting for you at the exit of the airport."

Senior brother? Sister? Damn, why is it so unpleasant to listen to? "Yu'er, who is your senior brother?" Chen Lin couldn't help but ask.

"You'll see it soon." Yu Yu replied casually.

All right. Chen Lin temporarily put a trace of unhappiness in his heart, he wanted to see where the so-called senior brother was sacred, he made up his mind not to show the face of the "senior brother", but when he saw the true face of the "senior brother", he immediately changed to a smiling face, and took the initiative to take a few steps forward and hold the other party's hand to greet him.

"Ha, Dou Wentao, the famous host of Phoenix Satellite TV, has been admired for a long time." It turned out that Yu'er's senior brother was him, and the unhappiness in Chen Lin's heart disappeared as soon as he saw Dou Wentao.

"I should call you Hanazawa. Or Mr. Lin? Dou Wentao said with a smile.

"Hehe, I'll call you Brother Wen Tao, and you'll call me Mr. Xiaolin." Chen Lin asked Dou Wentao to call him by his nickname, treating him as a friend. Because the title of 'Mr. Kobayashi' is only called by media reporters and friends. (Note: Some book friends have reacted that everyone calls him "Mr. Kobayashi" and loses the identity of the boss, so some employees of the previous company also call him "Mr. Kobayashi" from this chapter to make adjustments, and this title will be limited to friends in the future.) )

"Okay, Mr. Kobayashi. Senior Sister Yu, let's go back to the hotel first, and then go to the TV station. Originally, Liu Dong wanted to pick up the two of them in person, but he couldn't come for a while to receive a few foreign guests, so Liu Dong asked me to convey his apology. Dou Wentao said apologetically as he led the two of them out of the airport.

"Brother Wentao, you come to pick us up, we are already very face-saving." Chen Lin smiled, and then asked how he and Yu Yu's brother-sister relationship came about.

Dou Wentao smiled and said the reason, it turned out that when he just graduated and interned at the Central People's Radio "Half an Hour at Noon", Cui Yongyuan was also his teacher.

Chen Lin suddenly realized that he didn't know that Dou Wentao and Cui Yongyuan also had a teacher-student relationship.

After arriving at the hotel for a short rest, Chen Lin and his party went to Phoenix TV.

At the door of the TV station, Chen Lin and his wife were given a grand welcome, and Liu Changle, chairman of Phoenix Satellite TV, led a group of cadres to greet the two in person.

Liu Changle introduced the cadres around him to Chen Lin and his wife, and several of them knew Chen Lin without introducing them, such as Chen Luyu, Hu Yihu, Wu Xiaoli, etc.

After everyone exchanged a few polite words, Liu Changle personally became a guide and took the two to visit the TV station.

Phoenix TV was launched in 1991 and is headquartered in Hong Kong, and its main target audience is the whole world, including overseas Chinese audiences. It was formerly known as Satellite TV Chinese under Star Media, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the famous media mogul Ruperoch News Corporation.

In 96, Phoenix Satellite TV introduced Liu Changle as an investor, and Murdoch himself participated in the shares, from the original 45% and 38.8% shares, which were slowly diluted to 19.9%. As for why Murdoch brought in other investors, the dilution of the stake was naturally the result of a political compromise.

Chen Lin remembers that when 911 happened, the reporters of Phoenix Satellite TV were the first to send this explosive news to China, and since then, Phoenix Satellite TV's news and information programs have become his golden signboard.

"Chairman Liu, I want to visit your station's news live broadcast room and editing room." Chen Lin was very interested in Phoenix's news program and offered to visit these departments.

So the group focused on visiting the Ministry of Information, where Chen Lin visited the studio that broadcast the grand occasion of Hong Kong's return to Hong Kong for 60 consecutive hours and set a live broadcast record.

In the news gathering and editing room, I met Lu Ningsi, He Liangliang, Qiu Zhenhai and other senior current affairs and financial commentators and hosts, Chen Lin liked to watch these news commentary programs very much in his previous life. I feel that I have gained a lot of knowledge, so he respects these senior commentators very much and is commensurate with teachers.

"Teacher Lu, Teacher He, and Teacher Qiu, I like to watch your show very much, count me as your iron fans, sign my name." Chen Lin took out his little black book, which he hadn't taken out for a long time.

All three teachers laughed and happily signed their names. It's not finished yet, now that he has taken out a small notebook, Chen Lin and the people present, including Liu Changle, Chen Luyu, Hu Yihu and others, also signed one by one.

When Dou Wentao signed the autograph, Dou Wentao quipped; "I'm a little host, so I don't need to sign it."

"Whoever leaves his name in my book will be even more popular. If you don't have a fire, it will become popular, I think you will become popular, and your new show will also become popular. Chen Lin said with a smile.

"Ha, then I have to sign this name, and I can borrow your auspicious words that my show can become popular." Dou Wentao smiled, and then he signed his name.

During the visit just now, Chen Lin saw that Phoenix Satellite TV was producing a new talk show, which was Dou Wentao's program "Qiang Qiang Threesome".

Everyone present smiled at the corners of their mouths when they saw this scene, and when it was the turn of the last Chen Luyu to sign, she exaggerated her mouth and exclaimed: "Ah! Mr. Lin asked me for an autograph. Does this mean that I am going to be on fire? Liu Dong, have you seen it, I'm going to be popular, shouldn't you make a show for me. You can do it. ”

"Ha Luha" Chen Luyu's proud appearance made everyone laugh when they heard this.

Chen Lin didn't smile, he suddenly walked around Chen Luyu, looking up and down as he walked, and there were words in his mouth: "Very good." Excellent"

"Mr. Lin, what are you playing?" Chen Luyu looked at Chen Lin with a puzzled expression, not only her, but also the others.

Only Yu Yu pursed her lips and smiled. She remembered that before she came to Hong Kong, Chen Lin showed her a program plan called "XX Appointment", which was a talk show with a female host, and Chen Lin said that he wanted to cooperate with Phoenix Satellite TV on this program.

As soon as Yu Yu saw Chen Lin's appearance, she knew that he had taken a fancy to Chen Luyu, and I had to say that her husband's vision was very good, and she also thought that the Lu Yu in front of her was very suitable.

Sure enough, Yu Yu guessed correctly, Chen Lin first smiled, and then took out two copies of the "XX Appointment" planning book from Yu Yu's bag and gave them to Liu Changle and Chen Luyu under the curious eyes of everyone.

"Mr. Lin, this is the talk show you mentioned on the phone?" Liu Changle asked first, and only after getting Chen Lin's affirmation did he pick up the plan in his hand and look at it.

The other people next to him were also curious about what the program was, and they all watched it around Chen Luyu.

Chen Lin naturally took out "Luyu has an appointment". Of course, cooperating with Phoenix Satellite TV cannot lack this most popular talk show in the previous life. He believes that this powerful killer weapon will win Liu Changle's favor as soon as he is ready, which is also another major cooperation project he is preparing to cooperate with Phoenix Satellite TV in addition to the base camp.

"Ahh This show is amazing, I can't believe it, how do I feel like this show is tailor-made for me? As soon as the killer weapon of "Luyu has an appointment" came out, Chen Luyu himself was shocked.

"A heartwarming truth, 3,600 seconds of sincere dialogue, and thousands of earnest echoes are really wonderful ideas, and this show can be popular." Dou Wentao couldn't help but read out the above words, and his appreciation was overflowing.

After reading it, Liu Changle looked at Chen Lin in surprise and sighed: "Mr. Lin, please forgive me for being blunt, I knew that you had the title of a gold medal producer, but I saw that you yourself were actually a little disapproving, I doubt that a young man really has such great ability?" Is it packaged? But since we talked on the TV station, and with the idea of the show in my hand, I now only have four words in my heart: the future is terrifying. ”

Liu Changle's words gave Chen Lin a very high evaluation, and in the face of this big man, Chen Lin hurriedly became humble.

Next, Liu Changle saw that Chen Luyu was excited and couldn't wait to talk about the show, so the visit ended everywhere.

Liu Changle suggested that everyone go to the TV station's café to talk about cooperation while drinking coffee, Chen Lin naturally agreed, so the group went to the café. (To be continued......)
