"How is Zhang Liangying?"
Zhang Yuan asked with a smile.
"This..." Li Tao, the director of Shanghai TV Station, looked confused.
The rest of the people present also lowered their heads.
These three words seemed like a big stone, weighing heavily on the shoulders of several people.
"It's not impossible, but can she come?"
The reason why Director Li was so hesitant and the others looked so embarrassed was because of Zhang Liangying, a new female singer who had just won the third place in "Super Girl 2005" , in fact, I have a lot of fate with Magic City TV Station.
Because before participating in "Super Girl", Zhang Liangying was eliminated from the "My Style Show 2005" in Modutai...
Modutai always does this, Zhang Jie It was also after winning the Magic City Draft that he couldn't become popular, so he went to Mango TV and became popular.
The program on our channel was eliminated early, but it turned out to be a huge hit on Mango Channel, which made everyone in Shanghai look very unhappy.
The key point is that "My Style, My Show" can't compete with "Super Girl". Doesn't this prove the incompetence of us at Modutai!
“If there is anything that I can’t come, I can find it as long as you are willing.”
The reason why Zhang Yuan is so confident is because Zhang Liangying has just signed a contract with Huayi and Hurray. Became Hua Yi's signed singer.
The reason why Hurray exists is because Huayi Music sold 51% of its shares to Hurray in the early days.
Hurray almost merged with Enlight Media later because Enlight Media wanted to go public at that time.
This incident shocked the Wang brothers. Later, after Huayi went public, they quickly bought back all their shares in Huayou.
For this reason, there is a slight conflict between Guang Guang and Hua Yi.
This is one of the reasons why Liu Qianqian was able to get support from the light when she was completely suppressed by Hua Yi.
Of course, the main reason is still the relationship with Boss Chen.
Because the Ray was finally able to be launched, Boss Chen made great efforts.
Including Xingye later switched to the Ray from Huayi, the two companies are old rivals.
Given the relationship between Zhang Yuan and Hua Yi, he said that helping Zhang Liangying, a fellow student, find a program, the big and small kings would definitely be happy.
The guys from Modutai thought about it again and again, and finally gritted their teeth and did it!
No way, Zhang Liangyinghong.
And Zhang Yuan knows that this person will become even more popular next year.
Because the Wang brothers regard her as the signature of Huayi Music, she will be asked to sing all of Huayi's movie theme songs, as well as the TV series theme songs from Big Beard's side.
Zhang Yuan also likes her very much, but this person can be regarded as the top love brain of China Entertainment. He is not kind to others. He was stood up and kicked on the bed by the scumbag for more than ten years without saying a word, and he was also defrauded of all his money.
And judging from Ms. Zhang’s subsequent behavior, she was basically brainwashed and trained. She wore rings where they should be and nailed where nails should be.
"Okay, then I will help contact these celebrity mentors." Zhang Yuan and the others agreed and made a rough plan.
“Also, just like ordinary singing programs, there must be a judging panel system.”
"For these judging panels, it is best to find some third-rate artists who can stay on the show."
"The focus should be on the emotional connection between these judges and some contestants."
"Use this as a basis. The starting point is to create some dramatic conflicts."
"What do you mean?" the director asked confused.
Lao Jianghu Cao Kefan on the side pursed his lips and said nothing.
But he saw everything with his eyes and clearly realized that Zhang Yuan, who was originally hired as a consultant, had taken control of the overall situation.
“That is to say, each judge needs to set a preference, and when the preferred contestant is eliminated, there will naturally be conflicts with other judges or contestants.”
“This can shape the It became the highlight of the show."
"Just like Ke Yimin, who was a judge in "Super Girl", caused controversy one after another. Although there was a lot of criticism, the audience just loved watching it."
"Even. Many people came to watch Ke Yimin compete with the players.”
"Of course, this person should have brain and character problems, but we can use script design to arrange a fixed plot direction for the judges to intervene manually."
"Don't wait for the explosive point to appear, but through design , artificially triggering an explosion!”
Pa bang bang…
“Okay, good point”
At this time, the door of the conference room opened, and SMG. President Li Ruigang appeared outside the door.
This man walked in with a smile on his face, stepped forward to shake hands with Zhang Yuan, and at the same time glanced at everyone present with his peripheral vision.
"It seems that I have no use for it..."
"Hahaha, okay, this is better."
Mr. Li was in a meeting just now, and he has many things to do. Yes, the people I contacted were either city leaders or overseas company executives.
After finally finishing my work, I rushed here immediately.
He attaches great importance to this new talent show. After all, he has to give an explanation to the station, and at the same time he has to prove the ability of the newly established SMG.
The reason why he roped in Zhang Yuan as a consultant was to break the old ethos in the station.
Among the four major TV stations in later generations, Tomato Channel in Shanghai was the one with the most serious internal strife. The internal strife was so severe that the host from Shanghai disappeared from the station.
Even later, there was an incident where a well-known senior host in the station was "annihilated" because he attended the birthday party of a tainted businessman, and his staff was revoked collectively.
In that incident, the "Large Intestine Immortal" Cao Kefan who was originally sitting in the conference room also went there, but received the news at the last moment and returned temporarily.
But there is a problem, who told him not to go.
Who posted the photos and videos of the hosts and businessmen at the banquet online afterwards.
And why didn’t he notify and stop other Taiwan colleagues who were about to attend the banquet?
This is a bloody struggle.
It can be seen how deep and complicated the thoughts of these people in the Demon City are.
Li Ruigang hurried here because he was afraid that Zhang Yuan, a young man, would not be able to speak in front of these old guys.
But when I came to the place and took a look, it was definitely not the case.
He thought to himself, indeed, a capable person can succeed anywhere.
After Li Ruigang smiled and nodded with everyone, Director Li, who was originally sitting in the main seat, gave up his seat to him, and then he straightened his suit and sat down firmly.
Zhang Yuan glanced at this person and thought that the Demon City is different. The style of this group of leaders is completely different from that of the Imperial Capital. Maybe this is what the people of the Demon City call "tone".
"The reason why I invited Zhang Yuan here is to provide some new ideas for our station's programs."
"When he communicated with me before, this was the sentence that impressed me the most."< br>
“That is, the most important thing about a reality show is not the real person, but the show.”
“We must firmly grasp this key and make the show successful.”
< br>"Um...where did you talk about it?"
The director went over everything from the beginning, especially the star mentor project proposed by Zhang Yuan and the roughly selected mentor candidates.
"Liu Dehua..." Even Li Ruigang was shocked by this name.
After hearing the conditions for using the program to promote the movie, Mr. Li not only had no objection, but was even more optimistic about Zhang Yuan.
Okay!
Mutual benefit is the long-term solution.
Everyone benefited and made money, but he felt more at ease with Zhang Yuan's motivation for helping Modutai.
I dare not say anything else, but the pattern of people making money together in Magic City is indeed greater than other places.
As for the fact that later generations granted Tesla the valuable land in Shanghai at a cabbage price to build a factory, it was scolded by many people at that time, and was even labeled as a foreigner and a traitor.
But later everyone knew that this was a strategic investment promotion, which not only revitalized the domestic upstream and downstream markets for electric vehicles, but also firmly bound the lighthouse country to the development of electric vehicles. above the track.
Since then, not only have domestic electric car companies not been driven to extinction by Tesla, but they have made great progress and even begun to lead in global market share.
Compared with the imperial capital where the form is stronger than the people, the magical capital is more rational. Whoever can make money is the boss.
"Sun Honglei, Wu Jing, Meng Guangmei, Zhang Liangying, plus Liu Dehua..." Li Ruigang rubbed his chin and calculated for a while.
How did he think about it? How did he feel that with these stars alone, as soon as the advertisement for this show was released, it would become popular before it was broadcast!
“Can you really find all these people?”
“I’ve contacted a few of them just now, so it’s probably no problem.” Zhang Yuan replied confidently.
"If someone is unable to come temporarily, I can also help find someone of the same level as a substitute." He added.
"Okay." Mr. Li was very satisfied: "Then execute it."
"Hurry, this is our turnaround in Modutai, we must fight it well."
“We cannot let Mango Channel dominate the talent show!”
“By the way, has the name of this show been decided?” Li Ruigang turned to look at the director.
"There are several alternatives."
"Men should improve themselves."
"Miracle boy."
"The peak showdown between sportsmen."
"Stop, stop, stop..." Li Ruigang waved his hand: "Even I can tell that it's either imitating Mango Terrace, or it's rustic."
"You might as well just call it "Super Boy"."
"This name has been registered by Mango Channel..." the director replied faintly.
Zhang Yuan covered his face, it turns out you really thought about using this name... Can we still have some face?
“The name must be called loudly so that people will remember it as soon as they hear it.” Zhang Yuan said helplessly: “Why don’t we just call it "Come on! Good Man""
"Okay, I I think it's good, much better than those things of yours!" Li Ruigang slapped the table.
"It sounds like a slogan, so it's not bad..." Others present also nodded in agreement. "That's it, let's all implement it quickly and let's disperse."
After that, everyone began to pack their things and plan to go about their business.
Zhang Yuan came to Cao Kefan and the female hosts around him. After chatting for a few words, they left each other's phone numbers.
If I come to Shanghai to do programs or promote in the future, we should meet again, so it’s better to build a good relationship in advance. Get acquainted.
The three female hosts even took a group photo with him.
"Zhang Yuan, come here, I have something to say to you." Li Ruigang had been waiting for him, and when he saw that he was almost busy with his work, he called out.
"Okay, I happen to have something to ask you for." Zhang Yuan followed him to the office.
“Looking up close, he looks better than the average male celebrity.” After he left, several female hosts commented.
“Not only the image, but also the attitude is good. Many popular artists have very bad attitudes, but he does not have such a bad attitude. He is very kind.”
"When I talk in private, I am kind, but when I made the proposal just now, I was quite domineering."
"Yes, and I didn't expect that he is so young, but has a wide network of contacts in the entertainment industry, and knows so many well-known artists... "
"Do you know so many famous artists?" At the same time, Mr. Li, who was sitting opposite Zhang Yuan in the office, also asked the same question.
“We all know each other from my previous work.” Zhang Yuan did not pretend to be profound, but told the truth.
Li Ruigang sat on the office chair and kept tapping the armrests of the chair with his fingers.
"Actually, we have another program being planned on the station, but the investment and guest recruitment situation is not very good."
"Guest recruitment will affect investment, and investment will affect the program production cost. In turn, it will affect the recruitment of guests."
"These two points are difficult to deal with."
Zhang Yuan raised his eyebrows almost calmly. He probably guessed what the show was.
“Since you know many celebrity colleagues, is it possible to help us recruit some heavyweight guests to attract investment and other guests?”
Mr. Li thought of this when he saw Zhang Yuan's list of mentors for the reality show.
"What show?"
"We want to organize a dance talent show." Li Ruigang said methodically.
Sure enough, his guess was correct... Zhang Yuan thought to himself.
"You want to imitate BBC's "Dancing with the Stars"." Zhang Yuan said bluntly.
"Hahahaha...you are really extraordinary, you can see through it at a glance." Mr. Li laughed and said: "I like your straightforwardness very much."
"Yes, we just want to imitate "With the Stars" "Dance"
In fact, this is not unusual.
"Supergirl" is imitating "American Idol".
And "Happy Dictionary" is imitating "Millionaire".
Early domestic variety shows and reality shows basically copied European and American programs.
Li Ruigang did not shy away from this, and was surprised that Zhang Yuan had a broad knowledge and could see the essence of the problem at a glance.
The program that Modu TV wants to create is the future "Dance Forest Conference".
It's just that "Dance Forest" was not successful in attracting investment in the early stage, and even after SMG shouted for a long time, not many celebrities were willing to participate in the dance program.
After all, there are no successful cases of this type in China, and most actors and entertainers are not good at dancing and are afraid of making a fool of themselves.
Li Ruigang even made angry remarks after facing this situation.
"Cena, if they don't come, we will do it ourselves."
"Our host is also a local star in Shanghai!"
But in other words, It doesn't make much sense to have the host of the Magic City Channel, who is not familiar with the outside audience, and can only make small fuss in the local area.
That’s why the idea was brought to Zhang Yuan’s head.
"The celebrity judges mentioned in "Come on! Good Man" just now can be used again, but Brother Hua is very busy and probably won't be able to come."
"As for the rest... I think it's better to do this first. Start with Hong Kong and Taiwan, and then attract mainland stars to participate.”
“Oh, that’s an interesting idea.” Li Ruigang nodded, this guy can always come up with something new for me.
“Since we want to do it, we have to do it on a big scale.” Zhang Yuan thought for a while: “In this case, I will go to Xiangjiang in a few days to discuss it with the Emperor.”
"The Emperor?" Li Ruigang was stunned.
"Do you know the Emperor's people?"
"I can give it a try."
"Okay, then I'll wait for your good news." Mr. Li replied cheerfully.
"By the way, what did you say you were looking for me for?"
This man is also very shrewd. He will finish talking about his own problems first and see how Zhang Yuan reacts.
After he said that he would contribute, he also offered to help Zhang Yuan.
It’s still the same principle, mutual benefit, Magic City only cooperates with valuable people.
"That's it." Zhang Yuan took out a business plan and a hard drive from his backpack.
“I co-founded an animation company with a friend.”
“Now we have produced an animation work for children.”
"This is the content of the first three episodes."
"I would like to ask Mr. Li whether your Magic City Station is interested in cartoons."
"Animation?" Li Ruigangxin said This guy can really do anything.
As long as there is money to be made, there is nothing he can’t do without.
He smiled slightly.
Only young people like this have energy.
“We have the broadcast budget and schedule of the cartoon.”
“Let’s do it like this. The first three episodes will be a free trial. If you are satisfied, we can talk about the long term. It’s about cooperation.”
Zhang Yuan had told Huang Weimin before that he would help him find sales for his animation.
It is because they are eyeing the resources of Modutai.
The coal boss is so rich, why can he only linger on the periphery of the entertainment industry?
Because although they have money, they do not have enough resources to support actors.
If actors want to make a living, they have to rely on resources from advertising, TV series, movies, variety shows, and reality shows.
The bitch is ruthless, the actor is unrighteous.
You have to be famous, stand out, and make money before people are willing to hang out with you.
And when you have the resources in hand, recruiting troops is actually a matter of course, a matter of course, and very easy.
He dared to invest in the animation company because he was connected to the broadcasting resource of Magic City Channel.
"Okay, I'll let the people below make arrangements."
Li Ruigang saw that he had arranged it so well and even had a pilot episode, so he had no reason to refuse.
And he didn’t take this animation seriously either.
After all, compared to variety shows and reality shows, animation has little ability to attract investment.
The most important thing for a TV station is advertising revenue.
Li Ruigang values reality shows so much because reality shows can bring in a large number of sponsors and brands.
What he thinks is that even if the broadcast effect is average, he will let the station buy some animations to broadcast, as a reward for Zhang Yuan helping the station plan the program.
Anyway, the budget belongs to Taili, but the favor belongs to him. No matter how you calculate it, it will be a good deal.
After chatting with Mr. Li for a while, Modutai took him to dinner together.
The place where guests were having dinner was next to the Bund. While everyone was changing glasses, Li Ruigang patted Zhang Yuan on the shoulder and pointed to the other side of the river outside the window.
“Did I see any of the buildings there?”
“The newly opened community last month is called Tangcheng Yipin.”
Zhang Yuan’s eyes lit up. What a great place!
"110,000 square meters per square meter, the smallest one is almost 450 square meters."
Zhang Yuan:...
TM, the housing prices in the Magic City are indeed very high!
The smallest house type costs more than 40 million, otherwise it would be known as the most luxurious house in China.
This house is still fully decorated, and the developer’s decoration standard is more than 10,000 square meters per square meter.
The standard of their fine decoration is higher than that of most contemporary properties.
The largest building in this community has an area of more than 1,200 square meters, with a higher unit price, and the total price has reached an astonishing 150 million!
You will know the concept of 150 million in 2005.
However, Zhang Yuan remembered that this property had a huge reputation, but in fact, after the opening, because the unit price was so amazing, less than one unit was sold.
It was still four years later that the developer couldn't hold on any longer, and it was only after the price was reduced by more than half that it was sold out.
"One day I will buy the biggest and most expensive set and invite Mr. Li to come to my house to play." Zhang Yuan clinked glasses with Li Ruigang with a smile.
"Okay, I'll wait for you to send the invitation."
Li Ruigang just thought it was a young man's joke.
But what he didn’t know was that Zhang Yuan was not joking at all...(End of Chapter)
