Chapter 258: Production of the show begins

"Mr. Fang's plan is so good!"

"Feather God is really talented!"

"How many times do you have to deduce this in your mind to be able to guide us so easily and smoothly on the spot."

His legendary experience is amazing.

I don't know how many times it has been passed on in Higashiyamadai.

Looking at Fang Yu's eyes, they were also full of admiration, yearning, and admiration.

After Fang Yu's click, the staff all looked open.

With the detailed and interesting planning plan of "Wonderful Story", Fang Yu conquered the staff of the variety show group on the first day, and made a good start on the variety channel, which can be called the beginning of Tianhu.

It's no wonder that these people are so exaggerated, when the variety show team has Fang Yu, the "backer".

Everything has flowed smoothly, and there is no need to worry about the problems that were difficult to make decisions in the past. Fang Yu can always put forward suitable suggestions and have the courage to take responsibility for the arrangement.

Things that usually take the entire program team a week to decide, under the leadership of Fang Yu, can be done in only two or three days, showing the perversion of the "cheater".

And the rest of the variety show work is also progressing very quickly, mainly thanks to the money of the program team.

Fang Yu is his right-hand man, and he is also the "firefighter" he urgently transferred.

In the face of this unexpected situation, the budget is even more indispensable.

In addition, this time the situation is different from the previous filming of "Running Man".

Fang Yu is no longer a lonely and unknown producer, with the blessing of the aura of his masterpiece, even when he helps Fang Yu apply for funding, Sun Jie's waist can be stiffened.

In order to allow Fang Yu to no longer be tied up this time, the budget for this variety show was reported by Sun Jie with gritted teeth.

After Fang Yu determined the program plan of "Wonderful Story", he directly submitted a high production fee of 800,000 yuan per episode to the production center.

It's really high!

This is not the star's "650 food expenses a day".

The production cost of a variety show can easily reach the variety show era of "hundreds of millions of yuan".

After all, the highlight of the "Wonderful Story" program is still the debater.

Except for the three resident mentors, Fang Yu didn't plan to invite many celebrities.

Take the well-known parent-child program "Where Did Dad Go" in the previous life, usually investing 100 million yuan in the program, about 60 or 70 million yuan is spent on celebrities.

The cost of celebrities is basically the largest expenditure in variety shows.

In "Wonderful Story", Fang Yu can only find some celebrities with audience popularity to make cameos at most.

A star can appear in several shows in a day, unlike filming a TV series, which takes up too long of the star's schedule, and the invitation fee will naturally come down.

There is no need to invite popular guests, nor too many auxiliary personnel, so that the production cost of the program is more controllable, deducting the cost of setting in the studio in the early stage, generally three or four hundred thousand, which is enough to get the shooting cost of an episode.

This kind of indoor program is not like an outdoor program. Even if it is a location program, as long as it is filmed in China and there is no too complicated shooting content, six or seven hundred thousand episodes are enough to ensure quality and quantity, although it may not be brilliant, but it can guarantee that everything that should be there can be there.

When it comes to being like "Bell's Adventure" and "Companion Walk" in the previous life, this kind of show can be a different story.

This kind of program that wanders around the world and desperately does things in the sky and the sea, and it is a bottomless pit when it costs money.

Take "Companion Walk" as an example, a couple who don't think it's a big deal.

It is only that they were not born in the Song Dynasty, otherwise there would be nothing else to do when they discovered the New World.

In order to travel around the world, the two spent 4 years x study preparation.

The two won more than 20 documents such as sailboats, helicopters, and paragliders.

The months leading up to the trip also included studying icebreakers, learning astrodynamics, making your own Tesla coils, and studying the combustion characteristics of metal particles in a vacuum in a 10-square-meter tin room......

Not to mention the tools, the icebreaker that goes to the Antarctic alone has to start with 10 million.

Not to mention buying a plane for travel.

For another example, in order to ensure the effect of live broadcasting, they transformed an off-road vehicle into a satellite live broadcast vehicle.

Anyone who has traveled abroad should know how expensive foreign traffic is.

Think about how expensive a rented satellite signal is?

This kind of flower, without hundreds of millions of net worth, can't stick to it at all.

…………

Fang Yu submitted the budget, and it didn't take two days to approve it.

Thinking that the production center would not cut the price and leave a budget of 600,000 episodes, Fang Yu would be satisfied.

What I didn't expect was that the cost of 800,000 episodes had not decreased at all, and Fang Yu was really a little moved.

After all, the main job of the production center is not to card the budget, which is also their greatest right. The budget was approved so smoothly this time, and it was obvious that Sun Jie had made a lot of efforts in private.

That's not a small amount of money.

Cast it with a peach, repay it with a plum.

Fang Yu still understands this truth, and doing his best to do a good job is the best way to repay him.

Other aspects of "Wonderful Sayings" are still relatively smooth, and the only regret is that it is still difficult to get together the host group of "Wonderful Sayings" with full chemical benefits.

But film and television production is the art of compromise.

In the end, Fang Yu invited the more popular female host, and then found a philosophy professor who is popular with students in the university, and finally found a talk show actor with a rich sense of stage and full of experience on the scene to be responsible for controlling the scene and fancy oral advertising.

There are two regular guests on the show, one is funny, one is sensational, and the other is valuable. According to the variety show, two men and a beautiful woman are the golden match.

Fang Yu even helped them design special lines to help them shape the character of the show.

Therefore, even if there are no big-name stars, they are prepared in a hurry.

But talk shows are always content-oriented.

Fang Yu felt that "Wonderful Story" could still have the power to fight!

On this day, the news of the show's sky-high naming fee affected many people.

Xixia Group has a naming fee of 80 million,

The title is Dongshan Satellite TV's original variety show "Wonderful Story".

Many people have not slept because of this............

As we all know, gossip tends to spread the fastest.

Xixia Group bought the naming rights of "Wonderful Story" with a sky-high naming fee of 80 million.

The original program is coming soon, and it will air this November!

The next day, the news was published in major newspapers, and many local viewers and TV drama fans who heard the news instantly poured into the official website of Dongshan TV to leave messages.

"Where is "Wonderful Story" sacred, a gold medal TV producer transformed into a variety show?"

"The sky-high naming fee of 80 million, obedient! Workers save for hundreds of years without eating or drinking. ”

"I didn't expect that my Dadongshan Satellite TV would also sell sky-high naming fees one day, and the front row would support it!"

"The people of Dongshan sent a congratulatory message!"

"Fang Yu, is the title fee of "Wonderful Sayings" really 80 million?"

Wei Guo asked curiously.

"Yes and no, do you still want to see the average ratings of "Wonderful Story"?"

Fang Yu took a sip of tea and let out an 'oh' with little interest.

provoked Wei Guo's eyelids to jump, is this not satisfied with the 80 million naming fee?

"The guarantee is 12 million, and you still need to complete the ratings bet. 80 million naming fees. You need to complete the betting goal, but it is not very difficult.

Wei Guo stared at him carefully, not missing any expression on his face.

Fang Yu's face was understated, and he didn't pay attention to it at all.

"There's another piece of good news, I wonder if it's in your expectation?"

"What's the news?" Fang Yu asked along with his words.

"The debaters of "Wonderful Story" have completed the audition and are ready to be officially filmed."

Fang Yu let out an 'oh' calmly.

"I see! Let's get ready for the live filming of the show."

…………

The studio finally completed the stage style of "Memphis style" with gorgeous colors and imaginative patterns in accordance with Fang Yu's requirements.

A variety of cameras are also available.

Under Fang Yu's order, the first episode of the first season of "Wonderful Story" officially started filming!

Before the filming of the show, Fang Yu still led the crew to hold a start-up ceremony. Subsequently, Fang Yu rushed to the studio with the photography team to start recording the audition content of "Wonderful Story".

These contestants who passed the interview of "Wonderful Story" were all selected by Fang Yu to let the casting directors waste a lot of effort.

The casting director looks for suitable players from all aspects of "land, sea and air":

"Hai" is an overseas contestant and a well-known debater;

"Lu" is a student of various art academies;

"Empty" is an online search, trying to dig out the strange people hidden in the people.

Each city will have a dedicated selection staff.

The staffing is generally one or two photographers, plus two or three casting directors.

At the scene, someone is responsible for selecting people, and someone is responsible for communicating with the contestants, and they will jointly judge whether the contestants have star potential, but the selection results will not be discussed at the time, but will be recorded in video, and then transmitted back to the TV station for collective discussion and decision by the director team.

At the beginning of casting, the casting directors ran to the most strange places in the city, looking for the amateur wonders they felt at first sight.

What did you look at in the early stage of "Wonderful Story"?

Talent and appearance are must-haves, and special personal temperament and good character are pluses.

The elements passed by the audition of "Wonderful Story": In addition to debating skills and language expression, contestants also need a trait - a clear image.

In Fang Yu's view, "Wonderful Story" should not be simple, it should be a "tearing" entertainment program, but also a "program that can be exported", a program that can bring some thinking to the audience outside the program.

But expression is not preaching, since the show is called with "strange sayings", it must be worthy of the name and be in line with ordinary audiences.

How the show can allow the audience to accept the output of the contestants' views in a relaxed and witty atmosphere is what Fang Yu needs to consider.

This requires the personal charm of the "wonderful people" to be shown to the greatest extent on the stage. Whether it's outspoken, arrogant, sometimes male or female...... is still a big speech, a strong aura, and a straightforward personality. As long as there is enough flash, Fang Yu can accept it.

The filming team began to work on the three instructors, install microphones, and then record the opening remarks of the program. It will let the audience feel the atmosphere of the show, as well as better substitution.
