Chapter 499: Get the show guests
After Xiao Zhang heard this, he laughed and said, "It's really a little crazy, haha, follow my temper." ”
Mr. Carpenter was on the side, and he also smiled and said, "It's good to be young, if I were twenty years younger, I would really like to go crazy with you." Mr. Xiao Cheng, strike while the iron is hot, and tell Xiao Zhang about your show. ”
Xiao Zhang was slightly stunned, and then asked, "What do you mean?"
Cheng Yu told him about meeting Xu Wanting in Bao'an, and then mentioned that he was going to invest in Xu Wanting's show.
In fact, in the principal's opinion, this should not be considered cross-border, after all, it is not new for him to invest in entertainment programs. It's just that the process setting of my show, and the guest invitation, are slightly different from those you have invested in in the past. ”
After Cheng Yu finished speaking, Xiao Zhang waved his hand and said: "Changing the soup without changing the medicine, isn't it just changing from a traditional star to an Internet star?"
Look at the few people you want to invite, including yourself, who doesn't have their own traffic?
To be honest, I have participated in some variety shows, and I am indeed familiar with the entertainment industry, so I am not averse to recording variety shows.
Although I just met you, I was quite willing to make you a friend, so I helped theoretically with this favor.
But as you know, I don't have that much time to record the show, so your show recording process has to be quick and easy.
Then, the other important thing is what your show is about.
If it's just trying to make fun of a few of us, I don't think it's interesting.
Then it's better for me to introduce you to a few traffic stars and ask them to give a friendly price as appropriate.
You Cheng Dashao is not a person who cares about that investment.
As for the problem that the contact level of the program production company is not enough, this is easy to do, I will help you make two phone calls, as long as the program production is passed, it is not difficult to go to the four Davids.
I've been working with Penguin Video for many years, and it's not a problem to get on their platform. ”
Cheng Yu nodded slightly, but obviously had no real interest in Xiao Zhang's proposal.
"If I follow your ideas and rely on stars and traffic to make shows, then my participation in this investment will be too high.
To be honest, if it weren't for the strong request of the producer, I wouldn't have been willing to participate in the recording of the show at all.
I am an investor, if I need to work my own investment projects, how can I have so much time and energy?
But once the basic point of the show is that I came up with it myself, of course I will find the show itself very interesting.
Second, it's the first time to invest in this kind of thing, and it's good to get involved a little. Although I don't have any friends in China, as you said, if I'm looking for someone, looking for relationships, four David TV or the three major video platforms, I may not be able to find someone.
Wouldn't it be more convenient for me to even co-develop and produce with them.
But I'm still the basic point of view, I'm an investor, I don't want to open a program production company, I don't want to do in-depth cooperation.
So, why don't you listen to what I'm going to say?"
Xiao Zhang listened, nodded, and said, "Okay, then you can talk about the specific content of the show first." ”
So, Cheng Yu talked about the overall program concept he talked to Xu Wanting and Tan Wulian that day, which had many relatively professional additions compared to what he originally envisioned.
Including the time when he returned to Wudong and went to the United States, Tan Wulian has been sending him some new ideas about the content setting of the program.
Although it still adheres to the core point of watching rich people slam the door, the overall program setting is much more perfect than at the beginning.
After Cheng Yu finished speaking, Xiao Zhang shook his head and said, "The show itself is good, but I ......
I regret saying that you said I would like to help.
It's so uncomfortable, I can't live like that.
Moreover, the details here are too bad, just give a small fee, so where do I live?
Eating and drinking, I can still bear it, isn't it just a few days?
I also often eat some barbecue stalls on the roadside, and I often stop on the roadside to buy skewers of stinky tofu or something.
But if you really give so little money and let me live in a guest house for more than ten yuan a piece, how can I stand this?"
Cheng Yu said with a smile: "Do you really regard my show as a reality show that is filmed 24 hours a day?"
You have invested in so many variety shows yourself, which show is unscripted?
Let's just say that your talk show show, those guests, do you know how to write jokes or what?
Aren't they all reading from the script with the jokes given by the screenwriters?
As long as the effect of the program is there, can you really live in a guest house?
Find a guest house, take a picture, then turn off the lights, where you should go back to sleep, go back to where to sleep.
Then came the next day's shot. ”
Mr. Carpenter nodded and helped Cheng Yu and said, "I quite agree with Mr. Xiao Cheng's idea, variety shows, especially this kind of show that seems to be a reality show."
Most of the time, what the audience wants to see is either their favorite star, or they want to see the star make a fool of themselves.
The more they see celebrities who usually don't stick their fingers stumped by some extremely simple life skills, the happier they become.
What I want is this contrast, so that the audience can feel that these stars are actually not as good as me.
Now changing the stars to the setting of this show is also for this purpose.
What the audience wants to see is the embarrassment that you can't adapt to these lives at all.
I thought it was interesting. ”
Xiao Zhang sat up straight and said to Mr. Carpenter: "No, Lao Mu, you recorded a show before, didn't you say that it was all a routine after you came back, and you yourself are not a professional actor, so you don't want to participate in this kind of show?"
Mr. Carpenter shook his head and said, "It has nothing to do with my choice, I'm just explaining the content of Mr. Xiao Cheng's show itself."
I mean, the idea of this show is quite in line with the audience's demand for a variety show.
By the time this show airs, I may be a viewer of this show, but that doesn't mean I'm willing to participate in it. ”
"But Cheng Yu also said that he deliberately invited you to participate. What's the matter, Lao Mu, are you so faceless?"
Mr. Carpenter waved his hand and said, "Forget about being involved, you young people should have fun." ”
Xiao Zhang didn't dwell too much, and said to Cheng Yu instead: "I probably understand what you mean, if you put yourself in the audience's perspective, well, it's indeed a bit interesting."
If I were an ordinary person, I would also like to watch the principal and Cheng Dashao bargain with others for the sake of melons and dates in the show, and every penny spent is like cutting their own flesh.
The show that Lao Mu went to record, in fact, part of it was set up like this, but it was the two resident guests who spent money on that show.
Moreover, as long as they are not fools, they will not believe that their bargaining with the program team and bargaining in the vegetable market is real, it is just a gimmick of the show. ”
Cheng Yu pursed his lips, roughly hearing what Xiao Zhang meant.
Sighing, Cheng Yu said: "Don't talk to me anymore if you praise the promise of the show, I'm just trying a new way of investing."
Moreover, a good conception does not mean that the effect is good, and the detailed content also requires more detailed planning by the program production company.
Headmaster, you've been saying this for a long time, but I hear a sense that you don't want to participate. ”
"I mainly think that this state of picking and searching is not suitable for my personality.
You think, since I appeared in the public eye, I have always been the image of a prodigal who spends a lot of money.
Playing games, buying sports cars, falling in love with female Internet celebrities, taking our dogs on private jets......
What kind of activity did not establish my image as a loser?
opened a short video website and was also said to be a pickle tool, but it didn't get it yet, and in the end, the company was yellow.
Now you tell me to go against the human design to slam the door, don't talk about whether I can do it or not, the audience won't believe it at all, right?"
Cheng Yu is too lazy to persuade, he actually doesn't particularly want Xiao Zhang to join this show, for the same reason, as Mr. Carpenter. In terms of degree, Xiao Zhang is superior.
He shrugged, having planned to give up just as he had given up on Mr. Carpenter at Professor Li's house.
But Mr. Carpenter helped Cheng Yu become a lobbyist.
"It's because the public's impression of you is that you are a loser who spends a lot of money, so you are suddenly forced to slam the door, and there will be a breaking point.
You have to figure out that every one of the people on the show is not a character of Grande, why do you want to find people like rich businessmen and second generations to participate in the show, because in the eyes of the public, even if these people don't spend as much money as you, they are definitely people who don't know how much a pound of vegetables sells in the vegetable market.
This is the only way to create contrasts and create laughter, so as to attract the audience.
The stronger your character is on the road to a loser, the more attractive the Grande effect you appear in the show......"
As soon as he said this, Xiao Zhang understood it thoroughly.
But he really didn't want to do such a thing.
Cheng Yu felt that it was not good for him to blindly give up, so he hesitated a little and said: "Principal, you don't have to worry too much, in fact, every detail that appears in the show is scripted."
Of course, if there is a guest who doesn't need a script, we don't have to ask him to do exactly what the script does.
But if you don't really want to try that lifestyle, we can also arrange a script that is armed to the teeth for you, so that you are completely in a state of performance.
In fact, the key is not whether you can or cannot do it, or what other objective factors are.
The main thing is whether you want to join this show or not, and you should come to have some fun. ”
Xiao Zhang was a little hesitant, but Xue Qing stared at him and began to help Cheng Yu speak.
"Brother Xiaozhang, you just said that you are willing to treat Cheng Shao as a friend, and you won't even be willing to help with this little favor, right? Isn't it just acting according to the script? You should play games. What's the point of eating chicken on the computer every day?"
Professor Li smiled and said: "I also think the setting of this show is quite interesting, to be honest, I also watched Xiao Zhang grow up, I really don't know how he should live if he only gives Xiao Zhang a hundred yuan a day." Originally, I didn't have any intention of helping Xiao Cheng to facilitate this, but now, old man, I want to promote it. ”
Xiao Zhang looked at Professor Li, thought for a moment, and finally said, "Okay, I agreed." No, you have to promise me one thing. ”
Cheng Yu was quite surprised, he didn't really think that Xiao Zhang would join.
"You say. ”
"This investment is my share, and since I have personally ended up, I have to find some reason for myself. I can't say that I asked you to pay for the venue, which is too low. This project, you and I invested together, and handed it over to Bao'an that company to produce. ”
Cheng Yu laughed and said: "This must be no problem, I was originally an experiment, and if you are willing to pay, Sister Wanting and I can't ask for it." ”
"Okay, then it's settled. Go back and ask that Wanting to contact my assistant, and I'll give you her contact information later. My share of investment cannot be lower than yours. ”
"You can save me some leftovers. ”
Xiao Zhang said vigilantly: "This can't be a pit, right? In fact, you can't make money at all, and you will lose money?"
"The production cost of this show is not high, should I fool you for this money?"
"Haha, that's true. Xiao Zhang smiled indifferently, then looked at Mr. Carpenter and said, "Then since I am also a shareholder of this show now, Lao Mu, I don't care what you think, you have to come and do me a favor." You can participate in this show. ”
Mr. Carpenter grimaced and said, "What does this have to do with me, and why do I have to participate?"
"Because you have a lot of fans, the traffic must be good. Since I've invested, I always have to make money, right? You spared no effort to persuade me just now, but now you can't say it if you don't participate yourself, right?"
Mr. Carpenter shook his head helplessly, he didn't know anything before, so he politely rejected Cheng Yu, and Cheng Yu didn't entangle, which is okay to say.
After all, he and Cheng Yu are not familiar with each other, and today is the first time they have met, and it will not seem so unkind if they refuse.
But now, Xiao Zhang has opened his mouth, and this matter is not so easy to refuse.
Especially before he was still persuading Xiao Zhang to join such a show, but now he was defeated by Xiao Zhang.
"Did I dig a hole for myself?"
The five people at the table laughed together.
At this time, the waiter also happened to knock on the door and come in to serve the food, like flowing water, and soon the table was full.
The red wine that had been opened and decanted in advance was also brought in, and Xiao Zhang personally poured a glass for everyone, and then raised it: "This first glass, I will first respect the old man's health, and introduce a few more collections to my father next year." ”
Professor Li shook his head with a smile and said, "You kid, I asked you to have a meal, and you didn't forget to let the old man contribute." ”
Everyone took a sip, and Xiao Zhang said: "The second cup, I wish me and Cheng Yu a happy cooperation, oh, and Lao Mu, happy cooperation, happy cooperation." ”
Mr. Carpenter's face was full of helplessness, he shook his head and drank the red wine in the glass, and said, "Obviously, you have a happy cooperation, but I am chasing ducks to the shelves." ”
"How can anyone say that about themselves. Xiao Zhang said with a smile.
Mr. Carpenter rolled his eyes, but said no more.
Then Xiao Zhang poured another glass of wine, pointed at Cheng Yu, and said, "We will be friends in the future, but there is nothing special, you don't look for me." With that, he drank it all again.
Cheng Yu understood what he meant.
He said that Cheng Yu was looking for him to be allowed to be guaranteed is a crooked thing, if it is really a good project and good investment, Cheng Yu himself is also doing this, obviously he will not keep it.
Yes, friends return to friends, but there is nothing less contact.
So Cheng Yu nodded and said, "Well, except for knowing a certain Internet celebrity, I will try not to contact you for anything else." If I really want to meet the Internet celebrity, I will introduce you to it soon. ”
"Hey, I'm going to introduce you to me?"
Everyone laughed again, and it was difficult for everyone to understand Xiao Zhang's habit of having a special preference for Internet celebrities.
After three rounds of drinking, Mr. Carpenter spoke: "Mr. Xiao Cheng, since I have agreed to participate in your show, I have a small suggestion. ”
"Oh, Mr. Mu, you say. ”
"I think that if the six people in the show are all in the same way of expression, it will inevitably be a bit boring and repetitive.
I thought, six people have to make a difference.
For example, Xiao Zhang is the kind of representative who is completely unable to adapt to this kind of life, and I, when I was young, actually suffered hardships, so there are some things that I can accept.
If I blindly try to show that I can't accept it, in fact, the audience is not stupid.
Moreover, I have been called a carpenter for so many years, and I can also put some skills into it.
Other people can also have their own characteristics, don't just pick the door and save money, so the effect may not be very good. ”
Cheng Yu nodded and said, "What you mean is that the six of us can also compete with each other and show different characteristics in different links. And then according to each person's established personality, to do a more targeted program process setting?"
"Yes, that's what it means. ”
"Okay, I'll bring this up to the producers of the show, and let them refine our scripts for each of us. ”
"When put it all together, the overall script will be much fuller. ”
One meal solved two of the remaining three guests on the show, but Cheng Yu really couldn't talk about how happy he was.
In the face of these two guys with an amazing number of fans, Cheng Yu is really a little worried about whether his system tasks can be successfully completed.
And the rest of the one, Cheng Yu also mentioned it when the meal was about to end.
"The show is now tentatively scheduled for six guests, five have been confirmed, and there is still one last one left. Sister Wanting's side is Mr. Dai, who suggested it, and he is the one who created the salt body. I wonder if you two are familiar with him?"
Mr. Carpenter waved his hand directly and said, "I don't know him, I haven't touched him." ”
Xiao Zhang said: "I talked to him in the air, but I was scolding him." I can't help with that. ”
Cheng Yu nodded and said, "Well, I'm just asking, I'll ask others when I go back." ”
But Xue Qing interjected at this time and said: "I have a classmate who works in their company, and he told me before that he is also a friend in private. Why don't I ask my classmates?"
Cheng Yuxin said that the matter of inviting guests to the show actually fell on Xue Qing's head.
Fortunately, he didn't bother the two masters, so he said, "Then I will work for you." ”
"You are my boss, this is also one of my job responsibilities, didn't you say before, everyone in the company has to contribute their own strength to the investment project. ”
Everyone laughed again, and the meal was over.
Finally, Professor Li raised his glass, everyone drank together, and each got up.
Of course, everyone walked together and sent Professor Li back first.
Then Mr. Carpenter said that he had something to go back to the company in the afternoon, so he asked the driver to drive the car over and walked straight away.
Cheng Yu originally wanted to book a return ticket by himself when it was almost over, but Xue Qing said that she had already contacted her classmates, and Mr. Yan said that he wanted to invite Cheng Yu to dinner in the evening.
Cheng Yu naturally agreed, and then looked at Xiao Zhang.
Xiao Zhang waved his hand and said, "I'm not interested in having too much contact with him, but since it's a matter of the project, let's meet together." Come with me in the afternoon, and we'll talk. Go to dinner together in the evening. ”
Cheng Yu couldn't ask for it, and knew that it was actually Xiao Zhang who gave him face, so he hurriedly agreed.
