Chapter 294 New Variety Show
There is one thing to say, Mango Channel is definitely at this stage except CCTV, the highest average performance of all local satellite TVs, and it is also the most influential.

In 02, the strategic positioning of "focusing on entertainment, targeting young people, and targeting the whole country" was established, highlighting the channel characteristics of "youth, beauty and fashion".

This is definitely a masterpiece that can be written into the history of Chinese TV development. At that time, they dared to make such a reform in a provincial satellite TV, which shows the extraordinary courage of the people behind it.

This has to convince others.

But everything has pros and cons. After eating youth entertainment, one has to accept the adverse effects it brings. For example, many people think that Mango TV is too noisy and not as stable as a provincial TV station should be.

That's why many locals in Hunan Province say that they don't watch Satellite TV, but JingTV.

But no matter how you say it, you can't ignore one point, Mango Terrace is super rich!
They have taken a fancy to "Scary Step by Step", and have reached a preliminary cooperation intention before.

Mango TV will bear part of the cost of "Scary Step by Step".

The film purchasing department came to visit the crew of "The Dark Side" this time, but they actually had other plans.

"Director Zhang, please sit down." Cheng Yu'an entered the meeting room and greeted everyone on the Mango Terrace.

Long-distance cooperation with Mango Channel is relatively small, and most of the dramas sold to Mango Channel are second or even third rounds.

Director Zhang flattered the other party: ""The Dark Side" cost 500 million and Director Cheng also supervised the whole process. It is rare for a big director like Director Cheng to be so willing to support the younger ones."

Cheng Yu'an smiled, accepting her flattery, and said, "Director Zhang is here this time?"

"Oh, look at me." Director Zhang patted his head, "I heard that the company is preparing a variety show called "Run, Brother!" Our station is very interested in this show and wants to cooperate with Director Cheng. "

Cheng Yu'an smiled: "Who doesn't know that your "Base Camp" is the number one domestic variety show. It's not something anyone can get on if they want to."

Conscience of heaven and earth, Cheng Yu'an's words really mean nothing, just stating a fact.

But when Director Zhang heard these words, he felt that Cheng Yu'an was expressing dissatisfaction with him.

Before "The Martian" was released, I wanted to promote the "Base Camp" issue, but "Base Camp" said that the back row had expired and rejected "The Martian".

In fact, who doesn't know, just don't think "The Martian" with a cost of 3 million yuan will explode.

Director Zhang smiled: "I'm not in charge of "Base Camp". Director Cheng, please rest assured that "Scary Step By Step" will definitely be shown. And I'll leave the word here for you. In the future, any film directed by Cheng will be included if you want to be shown." "Base Camp", tell me two months in advance, and I will do it!"

"The Martian" pushed Cheng Yu'an to the throne of the best-selling director. Now it's really not Cheng Yu'an begging for "Base Camp", but "Base Camp" begging Cheng Yu'an to come once.

Of course Cheng Yu'an agreed: "In the future, I will definitely trouble "Base Camp"."

In fact, when domestic variety shows bloom everywhere, and "Base Camp" continues to die, its promotional effect will gradually decline.

Not to mention anything else, "Running Man" is done, and its publicity effect is no worse than "Base Camp".

Cheng Yu'an turned around and said, "Mango Channel already has "Base Camp", and if we buy an outdoor reality show variety show, won't "Base Camp" have any objections?"

Director Zhang was at a loss for words.Indeed, "Base Camp", as the golden signboard of Mango Channel, is now in full swing. If the station buys another variety show to come in, it's easy to say if it can't be done. If it is done, what do you make the "Base Camp" project team think.

Seeing that the other party was silent, Cheng Yu'an said: "We are in contact with Zhejiang TV Station for this program, and we have basically confirmed the cooperation. "Running Man" can only be missed."

Cheng Yu'an continued: "If Director Zhang really wants to buy a variety show, I have a good idea."

"Oh? Director Cheng, please tell me."

"Music talent show."

Director Zhang thought he could come up with something, that's all.

Seeing that "Super Girl" co-operated by Remote and Beijing Satellite TV is so popular, Mango Channel has followed suit and done male music auditions like "Happy Boys".

Although the effect is good, it is far worse than "Super Girl".

Cheng Yu'an patiently explained: "I'm not going to lie to Director Zhang, "Super Girl" has been in operation for so many years, and this model is almost unbearable. The company is considering suspending "Super Girl". The variety show department has two projects this year, one is The previous "Running Man" was jointly developed with South Korea, one is a music talent show, and it will be announced in a few days."

"Could Director Cheng talk about this program in detail?" Director Zhang was obviously interested.

There is no conflict between the talent show and "Base Camp", and she also feels that music talent shows like "Super Girl" and "Happy Boys" will not be interesting for another two years.

Since "Super Girl" became popular, major TV stations have launched music auditions one after another. After a few years, the audience has long been tired of watching this model.

"The company internally calls this program "The Voice of China". We plan to invite four big names in the music circle, such as Mr. Liu Huan. Four people sit on four chairs, turn around, and the contestants sing on stage. The instructor can't see the appearance of the contestants, and only selects them based on their voice..."

Cheng Yu'an told Director Zhang the general model of "The Voice".

Director Zhang was really moved: "This model is good. After the selection, there will be group confrontations and finals. The key is to select people only by voice, which can give audiences who are used to watching idol talent shows a sense of freshness. And in terms of marketing It’s also easy to do, to return to pure good sound. Well, very good.”

Cheng Yu'an gave her further bait: "The company has decided to do this program internally, and a bidding meeting will be held in a few days."

"Besides, I shouldn't have said that..." Cheng Yu'an was very embarrassed.

"Director Cheng, but it's okay, there are no outsiders here, and no one will spread the word." Director Zhang promised.

"In terms of the influence of various satellite TVs in the country, Beijing Satellite TV is indeed not as good as your Mango TV." Cheng Yu'an stopped complaining, and it would be inappropriate to continue.

Director Zhang understood Cheng Yu'an's meaning in seconds. It simply means that Beijing Satellite TV can't afford long-distance programs, and the long-distance variety show department is planning to change its partner.

Director Zhang smiled and said: "Although the show will be announced in a few days, I still want to thank Director Cheng for telling us about this in advance. Don't worry, although the procurement of variety shows is not under my control, I will definitely bring the news to the stage and invite bids." We will definitely go."

"I see Director Cheng's crew is quite busy, so we won't bother you." Director Zhang stood up and said goodbye, "Call me when you come to Hunan Province when you have time, and I will definitely greet you."

"Sure," Cheng Yu'an said with a smile, "Xiao Zheng, help me see off Director Zhang."

After the people from Mango TV left, Cheng Yu'an returned to the filming of "The Dark Side".
