I just want to make idol dramas

Chapter 72 Variety Invitation

"Mr. Xiao, there is someone waiting for you in the reception room."

In the past few days, Yu Hui went out to run a movie, and Xiao Yu had to come to the company every day. He had just entered the company, and the front desk informed him of the news.

"Who?"

Hearing Xiao Yu's tone that obviously he didn't make an appointment, the front desk quickly explained, "Jianghai Satellite TV, we've checked the ID."

"Jianghai Satellite TV?"

Xiao Yu was even more confused, he didn't seem to have any connection with them, but Jianghai Province is his hometown after all, and Jianghai Satellite TV is also a well-known TV station in the country, so it doesn't hurt to meet them.

He walked into the reception room, where a girl was sitting on a chair holding a stack of materials and meditating.

Hearing the sound of the door opening, the girl looked up at the door, Xiao Yu took a closer look, she should be around 25 years old, with a thin figure, wearing a pair of black-rimmed glasses, she looked a bit frail.

He took the initiative to stretch out his hand, "I'm Jin-Woo".

The girl quickly got up and shook hands, "Hi, Mr. Xiao, my name is Jin Min, and I'm a director of Jianghai Satellite TV."

After the introduction, she explained, "I'm sorry, I lied to the company's front desk just now that I have an appointment with you."

Xiao Yu didn't mind at all, and asked straight to the point, "What's the matter?"

"That's it." The girl handed over the information in her hand, "This is a variety show we planned recently, and I would like to invite you to participate."

Xiao Yu took the document and read it carefully.

The name of the program is "Youth Tour". It is planned that four men, four women and eight stars will travel across several continents in 20 days. There is no economic man, no assistant, no nanny car, and no detailed planning of time and routes. They can only rely on themselves, according to The funds stipulated by the program group are used to travel poorly and complete corresponding tasks.

The whole plan was made in great detail, from the idea of ​​the overall planning of the program, the country where it was recorded, the tasks to be completed, to the daily shooting plan, and what everyone needed to do, everything was written down in detail.

Seeing this plan, Xiao Yu thought of a variety show in his previous life - "Flowers and Boys". Although he didn't watch many variety shows, he had heard of them to some extent.

"This project failed in Jianghai Satellite TV, right?"

Jin Min was a little dazed by Xiao Yu's sudden question.

Xiao Yu went on to say, "If the project is approved, a formal invitation should be issued, instead of you randomly looking for the door, so this project should be planned by you, but it didn't pass."

"I'm sorry, Mr. Xiao!"

Hearing that Xiao Yu had seen through her little thoughts, Jin Min was a little ashamed, but she said without hesitation, "I planned this project, but the station didn't think it fit the way of making variety shows, and there was no hot spot, so Shelved."

The number of variety shows that Jin Min mentioned, Xiao Yu knows, whether it is a reality show, an audition, or a competition, as long as it is a variety show, there is a script, everyone knows this well.

The program team will create a personality for each guest, and arrange what kind of time to say what kind of words, so that there will be just right conflicts, sudden contradictions and controversial choices.

And each of these points will lead to discussions among the audience, and these discussions will bring more enthusiasm, which will bring advertisements. This is also the way variety shows make money. The audience is immersed in the "reality" woven for them by the program group.

Although Xiao Yu has never participated in it, he has never eaten pork and seen pigs running.

But in Jin Min's plan, which uses "poor travel" as the selling point, it is all about the process of guests traveling, without conflicts in arrangements, and without deliberate tearing apart, just a very ordinary trip.

Such a setting is contrary to the market rules, there is no topic point in the whole process, and so many people go abroad to record together, the production cost must not be low, no wonder Jianghai Satellite TV is not interested.

"Then why did you come to me?"

Jin Min said bluntly, "I would like to invite you as a guest, and you have the strength to invest in this project. Since the channel cannot get through, I want to see if I can get a way from you to make this show go on."

"I appreciate your frankness, but you said it yourself, this show is not popular, we are talking about business, what's the point of Starlight investing in you? It's not for a deal that is destined to lose money, right?"

What Xiao Yu said was straightforward, but Jin Min didn't become angry, she sorted out her thoughts and tried to continue to persuade Xiao Yu.

"Mr. Xiao, first of all, I am not pessimistic about this project. The variety shows in the market are too homogeneous. Either a group of young people are bouncing around waiting to make their debut, or a group of famous artists are noisy and noisy. "

"Secondly, the audience is already tired of watching these intriguing scripts with serious plots. They need our kind of programs that don't require thinking, debate, and are not so fast-paced. They can lie down and watch happily when they return home."

"I think that's where our competitiveness lies, the audience watching stars go places they haven't been, do things they've fantasized about, fulfill their wish to travel."

Hearing Jin Min's words, to be honest, Xiao Yu was a little moved. He doesn't know variety shows very well, but he knows that the reason "Longing for Life" became popular in his previous life is similar.

Having experienced the busy urban life, ups and downs in the workplace, or being overwhelmed by human relationships, too many people are overwhelmed by life, they just want to experience a slow-paced life, but they don’t have this Chances are, stars can fill those fantasies instead.

"Youth Tour" is also the same idea. Many people think "the world is so big, I want to see it", but no one really goes out to see it due to reality, so everyone's dream travel is in "I will definitely visit XX next year".

"So what's the production cost of your plan?"

"6000."

"6000 million!"

Xiao Yu was taken aback by this figure, he has never spent 6000 million on filming until now, this figure is enough to film "The Beginning" three times.

Knowing that variety shows cost money, I didn't expect it to cost so much.

Jin Min was also afraid that this number would scare him, so he quickly explained, "This is the production cost of Jianghai Satellite TV, including the remuneration of you and several other guests. The number of eight guests is not too much."

It is understandable to say Xiao Yu in this way, he has never participated in this kind of variety show, so there is no reference for the price, but there is already a company that invites him to play the leading role in a TV series, and the price is 50 per episode.

Although variety shows are not as good as TV dramas, running around in different places is still dangerous. If you invite guests according to your own worth, the remuneration alone will account for more than half of it.

Xiao Yu thought about it for a while, if he could do this project by himself, he could invite Shen Xingyi, Zheng Lan and Gu Wei, and get a few from Tianhai, give a friendly price, and the cost can be controlled.

As Jin Min said, this kind of program has its own market, even if it is not popular, as long as there are viewers, there will be no loss.

The Starlight Project has become more and more mature in terms of TV dramas, and the movies are also ready for a small test. The variety show itself has its own influence and topicality, which is also an important part of increasing the company's strength.

"Leave me a copy of the plan first, and I'll give you an answer as soon as possible, but if I want to invest, there is a hard condition."

"what?"

"Resign from Jianghai Satellite TV and join Starlight!"
