The funds given by Zhongyuan Satellite TV to the cultural Zhongyuan program group this time are also very sufficient......

After all, Wang Cheng's announcement fee alone is as high as 50 million, and with the other four people, the announcement fee for this issue is as high as more than 70 million!

And the cost of the program production itself has also increased a lot compared to before, reaching 10 million.

Such a production budget is of course nothing compared to other big-scale ace variety shows.

However, for the Central Plains of Culture, it is definitely a high production cost.

After all, their previous production budget for each issue was only about two million, and occasionally they exceeded the budget, at most they could only reach three million, and if there was no more, if one issue exceeded the budget, then the next issue may only have a budget of one million.

It can be seen that the status of the Central Plains in the Central Plains Satellite TV is in the culture!

This time, the production budget of 10 million is already the result of Liu Jie's hard work.

Coupled with more than 70 million announcement fees, the total production cost of this issue of Cultural Central Plains is as high as more than 80 million, nearly 90 million progression!

Such a single-issue production cost has definitely created the highest single-issue funding record in the history of all variety shows in China.

Everyone in the program group knows these numbers, so everyone's hearts are heavy......

They all know that at this time, everyone inside and outside the circle is staring at them, wanting to see what kind of show effect they can shoot after spending so much money......

After all, if the record-breaking production funds, coupled with the joining of Wang Cheng and Wen Yixiao, who continue to set records, and the cultural Zhongyuan fails to create good-looking ratings figures, then everyone in their entire program group may have to take the blame, and there will be no future for it.

Even, the program team is in danger of disbanding.

Therefore, everyone in the entire program group is very busy and serious.

Xiao Qiang, the director of the program group, and Yu Wenqiao, the assistant director, have been discussing the recording of this episode of the program for the past two days.

At seven o'clock in the morning, they arrived at the scene of the program group together.

Look at the antique show stage dressed up......

This is the result of the two of them discussing it until midnight last night.

Xiao Qiang looked at the busy staff of the program team with dark circles under his eyes, and sighed and said, "We are still not bold enough!" I can only continue to maintain the previous program format......"

Yu Wenqiao was also full of tiredness, and said softly: "The scenic spot has been contacted, let's finish recording on the stage, we can go to the scenic spot to record a live commentary, and this episode of the show is completed!" ”

】

The inherent mode before the Central Plains of Culture is that the program site and the scenic spot are combined, the external filming team shoots in the scenic spot, the picture is connected to the scene, and the star guests or cultural celebrity guests on the scene introduce the interesting stories of the scenic spots, which are interspersed with some other similar ancient stories to explain......

This is the Teachable Culture program.

Therefore, many people saw the propaganda of Zhongyuan Satellite TV, went to find the video and watched it, but they felt bored and couldn't watch it.

Because.

For ordinary people, it's really boring, not entertaining, and not much to watch, almost no different from a documentary.

If you want to see the scenery of the scenic spot, there are many major short video platforms now, and there is not so much nonsense......

If you want to read the story, you can find it yourself, and you don't have to listen to nonsense and private goods......

Xiao Qiang and Yu Wenqiao originally wanted to discuss Wang Cheng's own ideas with Wang Cheng, and then discuss how to innovate this episode of the show.

However, Wang Cheng didn't talk to them about work at all, and Wen Yixiao and the others obeyed Wang Cheng's words, Wang Cheng didn't talk about work, and they didn't talk about work.

Xiao Qiang and Yu Wenqiao are not big-name directors, so they don't dare to force anything from Wang Cheng and Wen Yixiao, so they can only follow them.

Since Wang Cheng is unwilling to talk about it......

Xiao Qiang and Yu Wenqiao didn't dare to try anything boldly, so they could only come step by step, not seeking merit, but it was enough to ask for no fault.

Deputy Director Liu Jie also came to the program group, looked at the scene layout, and found Xiao Qiang and Yu Wenqiao, frowned and asked, "Or is it the original?" ”

Liu Jie had heard the results of the two reports yesterday, but when he saw this familiar scene at this time, he still asked a little unwillingly.

He is not optimistic about this kind of program at all, because he has never succeeded before......

Xiao Qiang smiled bitterly and nodded: "Director Liu, we did our best!" ”

Liu Jie's brows furrowed even tighter, thinking of the news he had just seen, Wang Cheng and Wen Yixiao went out for a morning run in the morning, but they were blocked back by media reporters, and immediately asked, "Have you asked Wang Cheng about them?" ”

Xiao Qiang shook his head: "No...... It's not Wang Cheng's time to go to work yet! ”

Thinking of Wang Cheng's rules of not talking about work when he gets off work, Liu Jie has a faint headache.

He really regretted his impulse this time, and spent so much money to invite Wang Cheng to do the show, but he invited an uncle......

You can't beat, you can't scold, you can't speak, you can't ask......

If time could be turned back, Liu Jie would definitely not have gambled on the future at the meeting and invited Wang Cheng to do the show.

Yu Wenqiao looked at the time and said in a low voice, "Wang Cheng should be coming." Just now, the assistant over there called and said that Wang Cheng and they had come from the hotel by car. ”

Liu Jie looked at the time, it was almost nine o'clock, and it was indeed almost Wang Cheng's work time.

This work time is more punctual than that of a civil servant who has worked for more than 20 years.

It's just that......

Why, Wen Yixiao, Han Xiao, Zhu Ziqi, and An Keru are the same?

Hasn't Ankoru always been known for her dedication?

Liu Jie only feels that the current entertainment industry does not seem to be the entertainment circle he is familiar with.

These celebrities are all so big-named......

He, the deputy director of the TV station, was an existence that no one in the circle dared to offend in the past, and a word could decide the life and death of many celebrities and artists.

However, now, Wang Cheng and Wen Yixiao, Han Xiao, An Keru, and Zhu Ziqi do not give him face at all.

Liu Jie kept these names in his heart - if he could still sit firmly in his position after this failure, he would definitely not cooperate with these people again in the future.

As a few people were talking, there was a commotion outside.

Then, a few people looked over and saw that Wang Chengdang walked in first, followed by Wen Yixiao, Zhu Ziqi, Han Xiao, and An Keru.

Everyone in the program team also stopped their movements, and looked at Wang Cheng and the others curiously, wanting to see up close whether Wang Cheng and Wen Yixiao were as good-looking as on the TV screen.

"Wang Cheng is so handsome in reality, there is no special effect on the video! That appearance and temperament are too perfect, right? The skin seemed to glow. ”

"Wen Yixiao is also so beautiful, just like a fairy! Zhu Ziqi's long legs are simply shocking, Han Xiao's appearance is not bad, and her figure is better, but her temperament has lost a little. It's a pity that Ankeru is a little older, although the good maintenance doesn't seem to be lost to them, but there is still no youthful atmosphere......"

A staff member quickly commented on several people, but it was recognized by the people around him.

Although the program group they work for is only a little-known group, they can often watch some big-name stars on Henan Satellite TV.

The big-name stars they have seen in reality are at least one grade worse than those on TV and video.

Because, special effects are added to TV and video, and the lighting and makeup artists on the scene, as well as the blessing of the later stage, can greatly improve a person's appearance.

Therefore, many celebrities who look amazing on TV and in videos will disappoint fans who are looking forward to it if they appear in reality.

This is also the reason why many celebrities do not participate in offline activities, and even if they appear, both men and women wear heavy makeup, and may even follow the lighting engineer......

Such as Wang Cheng, Wen Yixiao, An Keru, Han Xiao, Zhu Ziqi and several others, in reality, they are not inferior to TV at all, and even more impactful star artists, they are all seeing it for the first time.

One prop master exclaimed, "They're all underrated!" If they hype it hard, the popularity may be even higher. ”

Another girl said helplessly: "How can Wang Cheng hype? People who haven't sent a message for months are of course underestimated in popularity! Wen Yixiao and they are also learning from Wang Cheng, I can only say that they are all the same kind of people......"

A pair of eyes looked at Wang Cheng and the others curiously and amazemented, and discussed in a low voice.

Xiao Qiang, Yu Wenqiao, and Liu Jie immediately put down their sad faces, walked over with a smile, and shook hands with Wang Cheng and the others one by one.

As a director, Xiao Qiang quickly asked Wang Cheng: "Wang Cheng, what do you think of us here?" What are your thoughts on the recording of the show? ”

It's working time......

You can always talk about work, right?

However, Wang Cheng looked left and right, but frowned slightly, and then did not hide his disappointment, and said in a surging voice: "You can first introduce your program format and today's recording process in detail......

Xiao Qiang, Yu Wenqiao, and Liu Jie were all stunned for a moment, and several people around them were also full of astonishment!

Even Wen Yixiao, Han Xiao, Zhu Ziqi, and An Keru all glanced at Wang Cheng in surprise......

I've come to record the show, but I still don't know the core of the show?

The four of them knew a lot last night!

Xiao Qiang, Yu Wenqiao, and Liu Jie glanced at each other, all of them with heavy hearts - the situation was worse than they imagined......

Assistant director Yu Wenqiao asked tentatively: "Wang Cheng, didn't you know about our program yesterday?" ”

Wang Cheng glanced at a few people, didn't care about their expressions, and said truthfully: "It's time to get off work after just watching it for a while, I haven't seen too much!" Tell me about it......"

Several people listened to it, and they all had a groove in their hearts that they didn't vomit or be unhappy!

Are you in a hotel yourself, and you also observe the commuting time?

After work time, you don't even look at the program information?

You're going too far, aren't you?

Even Wen Yixiao and the others were a little speechless, but they also recognized - this is Wang Cheng!

Yu Wenqiao looked at Xiao Qiang and Liu Jie, Liu Jie nodded at him and asked him to speak.

Yu Wenqiao cleaned up his mood at the moment, explained, and finally said: "Today you are recording on the spot, explaining the details of the story we gave you, and then going to the scenic spot to take a turn to attract everyone to understand our traditional culture, and you can ......"

When Wang Cheng heard this, his brows were also furrowed, and he glanced at Yu Wenqiao, which made Yu Wenqiao feel under great pressure, and he instantly shut up and couldn't speak, as if he had made a big mistake.

Wang Cheng glanced at directors Xiao Qiang and Liu Jie again, and these two also instantly became nervous, as if they had made something wrong and did not dare to face Wang Cheng's gaze......

The momentum on Wang Cheng's body at this time instantly suppressed them all, and he still said calmly: "You didn't tell the story with your heart!" ”

Several people were stunned when they heard this......

Not telling a story with your heart?

What do you mean?

Wang Cheng glanced at Liu Jie and knew that Liu Jie was the biggest and could call the shots, so he asked directly: "What is your original intention for doing this show?" Is it just for a perfunctory policy, or do you really want to promote the inheritance of Chinese culture? ”

Liu Jie was stunned for a moment, and instinctively replied immediately: "Of course, I want to promote the inheritance of Chinese culture......"

Xiao Qiang also quickly said: "Of course we want to carry forward Chinese culture!" ”

Wang Cheng shook his head: "Then you did too badly!" ”

Several people were speechless and fell silent.

For a while, I couldn't find the words to refute it.

Because.

They're really not doing that well.

The Cultural Central Plains program has been online for so long, whether it is broadcast on TV or online, it can be said that it is miserable, and there are almost no audiences.

Xiao Qiang, as a director, whispered slightly unconvinced: "Then what to do?" Cultural, scientific, and educational programs can only do this...... There are very few organic audiences! ”

Yu Wenqiao and Liu Jie listened and nodded too!

Wen Yixiao and the others listened and nodded in agreement with Xiao Qiang's statement.

If it weren't for Wang Cheng, it would be impossible for the four of them to participate in a teachable program that has no popularity on a local station, unless CCTV's cultural and educational program team comes forward, they may sell their personal favors to go to CCTV for a walk.

The cultural and educational programs of local stations can't invite big names, even the cultural and educational programs of Shonan Satellite TV can't invite big-name stars!

Because......

Everyone knows that cultural and educational variety shows have no audience base, and the announcement fee is very low.

Not profitable, no one has watched yet.

In particular, some of the people who promote traditional Chinese culture are extremely monotonous and boring.

Contemporary young people who are accustomed to the fast pace, where can they have the patience to watch it?

Wang Cheng said surgingly: "When I work, I either don't do it, or I have to do my best!" ”

"Since you can't do it well, then, you will listen to me!"

Forehead......

Xiao Qiang looked up at Wang Cheng in an instant, his eyes flashed, his heart was very uncomfortable, and there were some emotions that were really like this-Wang Cheng really wanted to take away his power!

And Yu Wenqiao, Liu Jie and others also looked at Wang Cheng at the same time.

Liu Jie immediately asked, "Wang Cheng, what do you want to do?" ”

Wang Cheng looked left and right behind his hands, his eyes scanned, he was not angry and arrogant, and said calmly: "I just want to do my job well!" ”

Xiao Qiang said in a low voice: "Your job is to record the show according to the arrangement of the program team!" ”

Wang Cheng nodded: "Not bad...... However, the arrangement of your program team is too poor! So, you have to listen to my arrangement to record! ”

So straightforward?

Xiao Qiang looked at Wang Cheng unconvinced: "Do you want to be a director?" Will you? ”

Wang Cheng shook his head: "I don't want to be a director, I just need the director to listen to me." ”

Xiao Qiang was speechless for a moment - this is not a meaning?

Liu Jie pressed Xiao Qiang, who still wanted to speak, looked at Wang Cheng and said, "Wang Cheng, if you listen to you, can you guarantee the ratings of the show?" ”

Xiao Qiang and Yu Wenqiao both looked at Wang Cheng at the same time, their expressions were very complicated, and they hoped that Wang Cheng could increase their ratings, but they didn't want to become a puppet and lose the right to direct!

However, Wang Cheng said vigorously: "I won't guarantee anything, I just try to do my job as well as possible, ratings are the job you need to worry about!" Hurry up and get me back to the answer, we don't have much time. If you stick to your plan, I can reluctantly cooperate, after all, it's my job, but it will make me very unhappy because it's so bad......"

The scene fell silent.

Wen Yixiao, Zhu Ziqi, An Keru, and Han Xiao all moved their steps naturally and stood behind Wang Cheng to express their support for Wang Cheng.

Still, none of them spoke.

Because, they know that it is best not to meddle in the power struggle of the program group!

Wang Cheng's behavior at this time is already extremely arrogant, it is a taboo in the circle, and he may be rejected by the entire circle.

Xiao Qiang, Yu Wenqiao and the others were very uncomfortable listening to Wang Cheng's words, but they didn't speak, they didn't want to conflict with Wang Cheng, but they all looked at Liu Jie, they knew that the decision was in Liu Jie's hands......

Liu Jie's face changed and he thought about it, and after a full minute, he looked up at Wang Cheng, and said in a low voice: "Wang Cheng, what do you want?" ”

Xiao Qiang and Yu Wenqiao, the two directors of the program group, both shook their bodies slightly at the same time, and the whole person was a little relaxed and a little decadent.

The relaxation is because the pressure and responsibility on them are much less, and the decadence is because they have lost the dominance of the program team, which has hit them hard.

None of them expected.

Liu Jie didn't believe them, he believed in Wang Cheng......

Let Wang Cheng lead the recording of the program team!

Will he?

Does he understand?

Xiao Qiang and Yu Wenqiao both looked at Wang Cheng with anticipation in their eyes, expecting that Wang Cheng would make a mistake or even make a fool of himself, and they could come out to clean up the mess and show their strength......

Wen Yixiao, An Keru, Zhu Ziqi, and Han Xiao have also been looking at Wang Cheng quietly, with trust and curiosity in their eyes.

They have absolute trust in Wang Cheng and believe that Wang Cheng can do anything well.

However, they don't know what Wang Cheng has to do to record this cultural and educational program......

Wang Cheng glanced at Liu Jie, nodded in appreciation of his choice, and said after thinking: "Since it is a story, then tell the story well!" To tell a good story, you have to do it, either it sounds good, it looks good, or it sounds good and looks good! ”

Several people listened to Wang Cheng's words, and they all felt unfathomable, only the two directors, Xiao Qiang and Yu Wenqiao, knew that Wang Cheng was telling the truth, but it was also nonsense.

Because, they also know this truth, but it is difficult to do it, at least neither of them can do it.

Wang Cheng continued: "This stage is not good, change to another ......"

Xiao Qiang and Yu Wenqiao were suddenly unhappy.

They spent hundreds of thousands of dollars to set up this stage for a day and a night, and you don't want a word?

Xiao Qiang: "Wang Cheng, this is the result of everyone's hard work......"

Wang Cheng didn't look at Xiao Qiang, just glanced at the stage, and said vigorously: "It's not hard work, hard work, it's right." ”

Xiao Qiang still wanted to speak, but Liu Jie waved his hand to stop him, since he chose to support Wang Cheng, then he had to support it to the end.

Xiao Qiang and Yu Wenqiao's plan is obviously the previous way of failure, he can't see the possibility of success, so he simply tries Wang Cheng's idea, there is still a possibility of success!

Liu Jie immediately asked, "What stage do you want?" ”

Wang Cheng turned his head to look at Liu Jie: "Go rent an aquarium!" ”

Aquarium?

Everyone was stunned, their faces full of astonishment.

This answer......

They didn't expect it.
