Chapter 320: Transformation plan and pork sharing
[Two nights late, strive for three nights]
Xu Kun arrived in Changsha on August 28th.
He is expected to stay in Changsha for two days. After negotiating with Mango Channel, he will take the flight to Beijing on the evening of the 29th to attend the domestic premiere of "The Night Banquet".
Although he came here in the name of running for Jiang Yiyan, in fact, his main purpose was to confirm his chances of winning the Emperor.
When he came to promote "Kuaiben" at the beginning of the year, the reception was already grand.
This time there is another super double.
The director of Mango Channel personally came to entertain him and praised several of his projects in LeTV, especially "Seeing Words Like Faces" and the introduction of Korean girl groups.
It must be said that Mango Channel is indeed more sensitive to the market than other TV stations.
Nowadays, most people are paying attention to Xu Kun’s huge success in "Journey to the Road" and are trying every means to crack the traffic code in it.
On the Mango Channel side, they were keenly aware of Xu Kun's management in LeTV.
“We at Hunan Satellite TV have noticed the booming development of the Korean entertainment industry since 2004, so we have been trying to introduce Korean TV series. Last year’s "Dae Jang Geum" is a typical example.
In addition to movies and TV series, we are actually also very interested in Korean idol groups, and we once thought about introducing them to China.
But Director Xu, you also know that the system is not like an Internet company after all. So open, many things have to be restricted. We are doing a dojo in a snail shell, and we can't use it."
Hearing the bitter words expressed by the director of Ouyangyang, Xu Kun laughed and said: "As the saying goes, 'a square inch'. Real skills can be seen from time to time, and the real ability is to make the dojo in the snail shell good and strong. Under the leadership of Chairman Ouyang Yang, Hunan Satellite TV has made rapid progress in recent years, almost keeping pace with CCTV..."

"I dare not say that!"
Director Ouyang Yang waved his hands quickly: "Compared with CCTV, we still have many shortcomings, but we have been learning from all aspects of experience and striving to improve the situation when conditions permit. Seek innovation and change under the circumstances.”
After all the official talk, Director Ou Yang invited Xu Kun to watch Mango Channel’s upcoming ace variety show “Metamorphosis” and asked him to make some suggestions about it. Opinions and suggestions.
However, after watching two episodes of the program, Xu Kun couldn't help but fall into silence.
In the end, he only gave one suggestion: "The overall age should be mentioned again. It is best for rural children to choose those who have already entered high school."
As a result, this suggestion was immediately refuted by the program team on the grounds that there are almost no high schools in poor areas, and high schools must at least go to towns or counties, so the contrast is not so strong.
Moreover, older rural children will be more emotionally restrained and more resistant to some of the requirements of the program team, and the effectiveness of the programs presented will inevitably be greatly reduced.
According to the intention of the program team, not only can the age not be raised, but if the filming of the second season continues, it is best to lower it.
How could Xu Kun not know that programs for half-grown children would be more effective?
But the three-dimensional view of a half-year-old child has not yet been established. You suddenly take him from a poor mountainous area to the city to enjoy the luxurious life of a wealthy family...
If you don't get this right, it will destroy people.
If this happens, the reputation of the program will definitely suffer a backlash, and maybe the TV station will also be 'flushed'.
But when these reminders came to his lips, Xu Kun stopped them again.
First of all, I don’t want to have a superficial conversation, and secondly, even if there was no "Metamorphosis Plan", once smartphones become popular in a few years, the impact of the gap between the rich and the poor will still be inevitable.
Coupled with the model parents advocated by the critics, young people are more likely to have an unbalanced mentality.
Xu Kun felt this deeply in Haozi.
Before the popularity of smartphones, there were many people in the accounts who complained about their families of origin. Most of them complained about domestic violence, divorced parents, indifference to them, lack of clothing and food, and so on. Xu Kun is in a similar situation, so everyone can relate to each other.
The result was inexplicable later on, and I resented my parents more for being neither officials nor the boss of the rich generation.
If you ask me more about it, I didn’t receive much abuse. I was scolded when I spent money frivolously, and I was beaten when I did something wrong. A few random quarrels between my parents over trivial matters have become a lifelong problem for them. The shadow of childhood gone.
This made Xu Kun unable to empathize.
After Xu Kun fell silent again, the atmosphere became a bit awkward.
This made Mr. Ouyang regret it. He originally saw that Xu Kun was engaged in fan marketing and introduced Korean girl groups, so he thought that Xu Kun also put entertainment first.
That’s why I took out Mango Channel’s most recent masterpieces and asked Xu Kun to comment on them, and by the way, I proposed a proposal for cooperation between the two parties.
But I didn’t expect that Xu Kun would react like this.
He quickly smoothed things over and said: "You still have to listen carefully to Director Xu's suggestion. It's best to re-evaluate and take measures to avoid accidents in advance."
Then he smiled at Xu Kun and said: " No wonder Director Xu can produce a program like "Seeing Words as Faces". If this ideological consciousness is not incorporated into our system, it is a waste of talent."
Xu Kun smiled and said: "Haha. , Mr. Han Sanping said the same, but I am still more accustomed to a freer and more casual life. "
After this episode, Mr. Ouyang couldn't talk about any cooperation for a while.
I personally entertained Xu Kun as a host at noon, and in the afternoon a certain director came to receive him and introduced Xu Kun to the ‘Golden Eagle Award Organizing Committee’.
Because the Golden Eagle Awards have always been broadcast live by Mango Channel, many people think that the Golden Eagle Awards are created by Mango Channel, but in fact, the real decisions are made by the China Television Association and the China Federation of Literary and Art Circles.
However, Mango TV is both the organizer and an important financial sponsor, so it has more and more say. This time the "Golden Eagle Goddess" is a gimmick created by Mango TV.
Communication with the organizing committee was simpler and easier than Xu Kun imagined, because the leader of the Federation of Literary and Art Circles who presided over this selection event was an old friend of Teacher Liu Heng.
Under the coordination of this leader, Jiang Yiyan withdrew from the Golden Eagle Goddess nomination and entered the Audience's Favorite Actress Award nomination. It was easily done.
However, the organizing committee also secretly put forward conditions, requiring Liu Shishi to cooperate with the organizing committee and try to stir up the momentum - of course in a legal and compliant way - in order to make the 'Golden Eagle Goddess' It has become an important award that is no less important than the Emperor and Queen.
It can be seen that the Golden Eagle Award Organizing Committee and Mango Channel are quite ambitious.
But the way they shared the pork pie made Xu Kun not optimistic about the future of the Golden Eagle Awards.
As for Xu Kun’s greatest concern about Shi Di, the leader of the Cultural Association privately revealed that the current biggest competitor of “Zhu Yuanzhang” is last year’s “Bright Sword” - Golden Eagle started in 2004 and changed it to two years. One term.
At present, within the organizing committee, Li Youbin’s voice is obviously superior.
So the leader of the Cultural Association suggested that Xu Kun go find Zhang Guoli first.
Zhang Guoli's works in the past two years do not quite meet the criteria for selecting a TV actor, but due to his high popularity, he was selected for the 'Golden Eagle Festival's Most Popular Actor and Actor Award' together with Xu Kun.
Although this prize is also divided into pork prizes, because it is a single choice, there is only one man and one woman at a time, so it is still relatively weighty.
If Xu Kun wants to win Shidi, he might as well take the initiative to give up his interests in exchange for Zhang Guoli's support - Lao Zhang's current influence in the TV drama industry is no less than that of the film industry Three major directors.
With Zhang Guoli's support, he can influence the internal tendencies of the organizing committee. Even if he cannot completely overwhelm Li Youbin, he can at least be evenly matched.
