Chapter 240 "I Love to Remember Lyrics" and "Boys and Girls Rush Forward"

Boom boom boom!
There was a knock on the door, and the waiter came in with Cao Xuan wearing a hat and mask.

"You guys have worked hard."

Everyone in the box stood up, and the producers and directors of "Happy Story" were the most enthusiastic.

"Hello, Mr. Cao."

"Hello, hello, the promotion of our drama is troublesome to you."

"Should be."

The postures of the few people were very low, so low that they were out of the normal range. Cao Xuan, who had guessed something, had a complete idea in his mind.

On the surface, he communicated normally. As the boss of the producer, he expressed his gratitude on behalf of the crew and the program crew. He also established a good relationship with the program crew in the name and intention of the owner of the film and television company, and obtained the contact information of several people.

Several people in "Happy Story" knew it well and cooperated with the performance.

Yuan Quan and Duan Long also noticed that something was wrong, but the test in this line of work is the strictness of the mouth, so they pretended not to see it.

After chatting with each other for more than half an hour, Hu Jing and the others left first because they had an event tomorrow, and Cheng Qian and Hu Ke also left with excuses.

Before leaving, Hu Ke left his contact information to Cao Xuan on the grounds that he had a program to find Cao Xuan. Cheng Qian hesitated, but did not do the same as Hu Ke.

The rest of the program team also left one after another, only the producer, director and a planner stayed, and talked with Cao Xuan for more than two hours.

Nearly early in the morning, the drinking party finally ended.

Cao Xuan waved goodbye to several people, left the hotel and boarded a commercial vehicle, Hu Jing was sleeping in the back seat covered with clothes, when she heard the sound, she got up sleepily.

"It's over."

"Why didn't you let Lao Zhu take you home?"

"Wait for you, don't talk about this, what are they looking for you for?"

Hu Jing had been thinking about this all the time, so she hurriedly asked Cao Xuan, who was a little happy when he heard the words.

"You have done meritorious service this time, Lao Zhu is driving, let's talk on the way."

On the way, Cao Xuan explained their private conversation just now, and then Hu Jing understood what was going on.

The reason is not complicated. As mentioned earlier, "Happy Story" has been in a period of turmoil recently.

On the surface, it seems that this is a turmoil among the hosts, but in fact this turmoil includes the entire production team, and even various differences and contradictions behind Joy Media.

There are many reasons for conflicts, and it is troublesome to explain them one by one. In short, because of interests and rights, the top executives of Joy have always had internal discord.

It had been suppressed at first, but this time it broke out, several veterans and high-level officials left angrily, and the boss began to support the newcomers to the top.

When a newcomer takes the position, he must set a few fires and promote some of his own people. As a result, he will continue to have conflicts with some of the veterans who have left.

Until the conflicts accumulated to a certain extent, the new leaders began to attack, and some people were kicked out of the core team or even directly expelled, including "Happy Story".

Although these people hadn't left after talking with Cao Xuan before, they were already a thorn in their side and a thorn in their flesh.

That being the case, everyone will definitely not sit and wait for death. There is a boss behind them, and if they can't fight, they should hurry up and find someone else.

The last time Cao Xuan came into contact with Guangguang Media in "A Family of Gold Fans", he always wanted Fanxing to engage in variety shows, and also tried to recruit some related talents.

This is not a secret in the circle, especially in private variety shows, many people know about it.

Although Fanxing is a new company, Cao Xuan is well-known and seems to have a lot of money in his hands. Some people in "Happy Story" are tempted, even if they don't go, it's good to get in touch.

So when Hu Jing came to promote "Happy Story", several people took the lead and planned to contact Cao Xuan through Hu Jing.

"They know about our relationship?"

Hu Jing interjected here, she wanted to ask this question just now, Cao Xuan smiled.

"It's not easy. Now we are having an affair, and even if you don't know about our relationship, don't forget that you are the first sister of Fanxing, so you still have the ability to tie the knot."

"I forgot about it."

Hu Jing patted her forehead annoyed, she was about to become a "frightened bird" now, and when people approached Cao Xuan through her, they thought that their relationship had been exposed.

But they neglected that she herself is an entertainer of the stars, and she can also be contacted for a match.

"You promised them?"

"No, but it's stable. I have to investigate what's going on later. Normal conflicts don't matter, but if you come to help the rebellious boy, you will ask for trouble."

Cao Xuan never believed in one-sided words. This group of people talked lively, and the real situation had to be investigated, but as long as the problem was not serious, he would accept everything.

This is the backbone elite of one of the most popular variety shows today, with strong professional standards and a certain degree of tacit understanding.

If they can win all of them, Fanxing can directly form an excellent production team for variety shows, without having to poach people bit by bit to prepare.

"Will this offend Joy?"

"How should I put it, I might have an idea, but after all, it's his internal problem, and it's not our fault, at most it's a leak.

Besides, even if there is no such thing, as long as the company enters the field of variety shows, becomes competitive, and competes with them for TV channels and advertisers, the relationship will not be much better. "

Cao Xuan is very self-aware, if he is offended, he must be offended. Since it will be like this sooner or later, it is better to be more realistic.

The ups and downs of the business world, if you really want to be afraid of this, don't hang out in the circle as soon as possible...

"The two hosts also ate together this time, so it's possible that they are also in the same group."

"almost."

Cao Xuan explained that Cheng Qian was the host invited by the elders, so he was the first to be targeted by the new leader.

It can be said that Cheng Qian is destined to leave, but Hu is a newcomer and has no one to rely on. In addition, the original host Zhang Yan was deliberately hired, so the possibility of being replaced is not low.

So to a certain extent, everyone came here as a group to see if there is any possibility of cooperation.

Before the process, he was a famous talker and there was no shortage of programs, so he kept putting on airs. Hu Ke had eyesight and had already submitted the submission, so it was up to Cao Xuan to accept it.

Cao Xuan is still very interested in Hu Ke, don't get me wrong, it's not because of the person, but because of her hosting level.

In the original time and space, Hu Ke finally escaped and stayed in "Happy Story". During several revisions, he insisted on it repeatedly, supporting the show with all his strength.

At that time, Hu Ke was once as famous as Xie Nan, Zhu Dan and other well-known hostesses, and he was also a celebrity in the circle, but after getting married, he focused more on supporting his husband and raising children, and gradually faded out of the entertainment circle.

One of Cao Xuan's intentions in doing variety shows is to allow star artists to participate, whether they are hosts or resident guests, they can be exposed stably.

But the host doesn't come here casually. In order to ensure the effect, a professional escort is still needed.

Cao Xuan from Hong Kong and Taiwan didn't want to use it, and those hosts in later generations have either not made their debut at this stage, or they have already become famous, so it is not easy to dig.

Now he has hosting experience, has high potential in the future, and has a down-to-earth personality and doesn't like to make troubles, especially the latter, which is a plus in Cao Xuan's eyes.

That group of hosts is simply a minefield, one by one, it's not easy to find a few of them...

Although it has not been confirmed yet, Cao Xuan has already written Hu Ke's name in the small notebook. If it is suitable, he would not mind taking care of Lao Sha's wife in advance.

Apart from Hu Ke, Cao Xuan remembered that Liu Yan seemed to be pretty good too. Although she took the sexy route, she didn't have any black material or gossip, her professional ability was good, and she was...big.

However, Liu Yan is now haunted, and Cao Xuan doesn't remember, so I'll ask around later.

The host, Cao Xuan, doesn't remember who it was.

Sa Beining is good, I wonder if he can be invited from CCTV, and Lao Guo is also fine, I guess he is playing allegro in Tianqiao now, and it will be a good story in the future if he pulls it.

However, Lao Guo's style is a bit biased and may not be suitable for the show. Let's watch it then.

Cao Xuan was thinking about the show, the atmosphere in the car was a bit deserted, Hu Jing couldn't help asking.

"If you really take people down, what show do you plan to put on?"

"It's hard to say, and we need to study with several TV stations, after all, it depends on the needs of others, otherwise the show will be done, and if there is no space to broadcast, it will stop.

But in my heart, I want to try two low-cost variety shows, "I Love to Remember the Lyrics" and "Boys and Girls Go Forward". "

"What variety show is this?"

""I Love to Remember the Lyrics" is simple to memorize the lyrics. It is to find a group of ordinary people and ask them to sing the lyrics of popular pop songs. Regardless of the singing style or appearance, it depends on the memory. Find a few in the first issue, and whoever answers more will give Who prizes.

Looking back, we can also hold monthly competitions, and hold annual competitions every year, with double the prizes and more highlights. "

"Just memorize the lyrics, does anyone read this?"

Hu Jing was a little puzzled, what is the point of this lyrics, it is more than singing, Cao Xuan explained to her.

"Singing requires a threshold, but there is no threshold for memorizing lyrics. Anyone can memorize it, and it can mobilize the enthusiasm and participation of ordinary audiences.

Besides, we are not just doing lyrics, we can hold a singing talent show with no threshold later, such as "Super Avenue" and "Starlight Girl". "

"What about "Boys and Girls Rush Forward"?"

"Have you ever seen the obstacle course in the army? It's like a water obstacle course. If you succeed in the challenge, you will be rewarded. If you fail the challenge, you will be shot down underwater. It's also interesting.

Relatively speaking, there is no threshold, but it is mainly aimed at young boys and girls. "

Cao Xuan didn't say a word. In fact, the biggest highlight of this variety show is that the girls break through the barriers, falter in the challenges, lose their color, and fall into the water miserably.

It's best to wear something revealing, like a swimsuit and bikini, the upper body is slightly trembling, the lower body is long-legged, and the ratings are terrible.

Of course, with the current atmosphere, it's hard enough to play so much, so I still wear normal clothes, but I can find more handsome men and beautiful women, focusing on eye-catching.

If it wasn't for fear of being too blunt, Cao Xuan really wanted to make a "Girls Girls Rush Forward", this is the real rating code.

At the same time, take a look at the highlights of "Happy Forward" from Lu Province and Taiwan, and you can also tentatively come to an annual hegemony competition and a duel with the peak speed.

However, we still have to restrict these animals from coming over, one by one is faster than the other, and the fuck is going to be a firefighter team, and there are not enough prizes.

So it’s still people from Lu Province. Other similar programs on other stations invite beauties to come. Lu Provincial Station has a group of old men running around, turning the video into gifs, and racing to “buy goods” at home...

Cao Xuannong's two programs are characterized by low cost and low threshold.

The former is a stage, just add a lead singer and a band, while the latter doesn’t cost much except for the scene.

All people participate, sign up at will, there is no shortage of guests, no shortage of materials, and occasionally there is a need for promotion, you can invite artists to come to a star special, or you can go directly, and the promotion game is right.

Moreover, the prizes are set to facilitate Cao Xuan's sponsorship.

Refrigerators, color TVs, washing machines, air-conditioning car water heaters, all comers are welcome, and if it doesn’t work, the company can also give cash rewards.

Sponsorship fees plus the TV station's advertising time, with luck, these two programs alone can earn tens of millions a year.

With more money, less worry, and other publicity and exposure boosts, Cao Xuan really can't think of a reason not to engage in variety shows.

Most importantly, it can also promote grassroots culture and mass entertainment.

Cao Xuan has always felt that although many plots in the variety shows in [-] and [-] were uncouth, they did reflect the true appearance of ordinary people.

The variety shows of later generations may be exquisite and beautiful, but their eyes are separated from the masses. Even the so-called amateurs are mostly Internet celebrities or petty bourgeoisie elites, and at the very least they are white-collar workers or urban residents. The real working people are often ignored. .

Of course, there are many reasons for this. On the one hand, the traffic fandom culture is prevalent, capital is rampant, the entertainment circle is involuntary, and the grassroots culture cannot make a lot of money and is directly abandoned.

On the other hand, with the rise of short videos, ordinary people can directly use live broadcasts or short videos as a platform without participating in variety shows.

It is not the decline of grassroots culture, but the advent of the self-media era.

Everyone is a "star" in the camera, and the word "grassroots star" has naturally withdrawn from the stage of history.

But in 2001, TV stations were a rare platform for ordinary people.

The participation of the whole people makes ordinary people shine.

Cao Xuan thinks this is a good concept of variety shows, and if possible, he hopes to create more platforms that allow ordinary people to show their charm.

To some extent, it can be considered that Cao Xuan has made a contribution to the people...
