As a matchmaker, I'm not convinced by anyone

At the end of 4, after 2009 years of silence on TV dating shows, Hunan Satellite TV once again launched a brand new dating reality show "Let's Date". At this time, "leftover men" and "leftover women" are often talked about Ci, life in the city is stressful, the space for interpersonal communication is squeezed, work takes up too much time, and marriage problems have become urgent problems for the new generation of young people.

"Let's Date" grasps the "pain points" of young men and women at that time, based on the needs of the "single group" to make friends, encourages to show their true self, bravely pursue love, and caters to the needs of "single nobles".

As a result, marriage and love shows once again revived.

However, the momentum of "Let's Date" was quickly overshadowed by another program that turned out to be, that is Suzhou Satellite TV's "If You Are the One", the avant-garde dating method of "1 male suitor vs 24 female guests", A group of handsome men and beautiful women speak sharply about the realities of contemporary society, and money, houses, and jobs are directly brought to the table.

"If You Are the One" appeared in front of the audience with a novel and bold attitude, and a sentence or a point of view in the program may cause widespread controversy.

In particular, the phrase "I would rather cry in a BMW than laugh behind a bicycle" said by a female guest on the show is still regarded as a golden rule by money worshipers.There is also the phrase "men grow up in the process of being abandoned and abandoned by others" said by the host, which is also classified as a classic quotation of marriage.

"If You Are the One" just scratched the itch of the times powerfully, like a dark horse galloping in the wind, once won the crown of No. [-] weekly ratings of star programs on satellite TV.

Then, the Davids acted upon hearing the news, and there was an increasingly violent dating trend on the screen, trying to get a share of the pie, such as "One in a Hundred", "Who Can Pick One in a Hundred", "Love Knocks on the Door", "Love Conveyor Belt", " Love Lianliankan", "Turn Around and Meet TA" and so on.

Whether it is old wine in new bottles or old wine in new bottles, it has brought an unprecedented "show" feast to the TV audience in our country.

After trying almost all possible program modes of "mutual selection of men and women", "blind selection of swivel chairs", and "selection with mothers", dating programs slipped into the quagmire again. The flood of programs made the audience feel exhausted, and many dating programs appeared. The ratings were weak and the broadcasts were suspended one after another.

Even the trump card "If You Are the One" is feeling like it is dying, even if it is suspended and revised, it can't stop the decline in popularity.

This is also something that can't be helped, the program has its life cycle, and no program can maintain its peak appeal all the time.

However, "If You Are the One" has been on the air for more than ten years, and the program group that has spent an untold amount of effort on this program obviously does not want to give up easily, thinking that it can be rescued again.

On this day, the program group held a meeting to see if there was any way to prolong the life of the program, not to increase the ratings, but at least to keep the current ratings and not to continue to decline.

In the meeting room, the chief producer said in a heavy tone: "Everyone, after our "If You Are the One" has experienced the glory of the previous few years, it has been going downhill in the next few years. If it continues like this, it won't take long. We The program will have to be permanently suspended!

This meeting is mainly to brainstorm and see if there is any way to save our show, not to return to the top, but to maintain the current ratings, let everyone express their opinions! "

In addition to the chief producer, the program group of "If You Are the One" also has three producers, one male and two female.

One of the female producers said: "After several years of hard work, the word-of-mouth of our show is no longer good. If we want to keep the current ratings or increase the ratings, unless we completely change the existing blind date model.

But if the existing blind date mode is completely changed, it is better to plan a new program, so that the program will be more dynamic.But if it is not completely changed, under the existing blind date mode, no matter how it is revised, it will be old wine in new bottles, which will be difficult to attract audiences. "

Another female producer said: "Our show has been on the air for more than ten years, not to mention the audience, even our host and resident guests have entered a period of exhaustion, without the energy of the peak Amazing, the existing blind date mode is really hard to come up with new ideas."

The male producer said: "The audience likes the new and dislikes the old. Now that new dating shows are popping up one after another, the audience is under wave after wave of shocks. The attraction of our old dating show is indeed getting lower and lower.

During this period of time, I have been thinking about the way out of our program. I think there is only one way to make innovations under the existing model and attract audiences to watch. "

The chief producer looked at him and asked, "What way?"

The two female producers and the director also looked at the male producer.

The male producer didn't answer and asked instead: "Everyone should know Master Jiang from Happy Marriage Agency, right?"

Those present are all people who have been engaged in marriage and love shows for more than ten years. They are naturally no strangers to the No. 1 matchmaker in the matchmaker world. curriculum vitae.

Therefore, when they heard the question from the male producer, everyone nodded to express their understanding.

The male producer said: "Master Jiang's experience as a matchmaker must be known to everyone, so I won't introduce it here. You said that if our program team can invite Master Jiang to be a guest commentator on the show, will our show be good?" Because of the joining of Master Jiang, is it rejuvenated?"

The director said excitedly when he heard the words: "Hey, this is really a good idea. I also know that Master Jiang has tens of millions of fans on various platforms, and his influence in the marriage and love market is even greater than that of superstars." Can’t compare to him, inviting him to be a guest commentator on the show may really bring our show back to life.”

The eyes of the two female producers lit up when they heard the words. Although they all knew Master Jiang, they never thought about inviting Master Jiang to their show to comment on the guests.

At this time, after hearing what the male producer said, they suddenly felt that this idea was really good. Maybe Master Jiang was the savior of their old show.

The chief producer pondered: "The previous male and female guests of our program were all selected from other dating websites, and many of them were arranged by our program group. This is why the reputation of our program is not as good as every year. the main reason.

We can carry out in-depth cooperation with Master Jiang. Whether it is a male guest or a female guest, let the happy marriage agency under the name of Master Jiang provide candidates. The main thing is a truth.

To put it bluntly, it is to put the real blind date process on the screen after proper packaging. I wonder if it can attract the audience? "

"This can be done, but if there is no script, it may not be an easy task to record the effect we want. Many male guests and female guests will even be so nervous that they can't complete their speech."

"This is indeed a problem, but it will look more real. We have been playing scripted blind dates for more than ten years, and the audience may have gotten tired of it. Maybe there is no script, no character design, and letting everyone play freely. The script is more appealing to the audience."

"I think... blah blah..."

Next, everyone who saw the hope began to brainstorm and create this old-fashioned dating show with Master Jiang as the core. Ideas came up one after another, and they continued to improve this new plan.

three hours later.

The chief producer looked at the completed plan, and decided: "Let's do this, Xiao Xu, let the logistics book an air ticket for me, and prepare gifts. I will fly to the provincial capital of Gui Province to invite Master Jiang."

Xiao Xu: "Okay!"

Chief Producer: "The meeting is over!"

……

The chief producer of "If You Are the One" is surnamed Wang. He is also impatient. After completing the plan to invite Master Jiang to join "If You Are the One" with the production team that day, he boarded the plane with the gifts prepared by the logistics the next day. The plane in the provincial capital of Gui Province.

At [-]:[-] noon, Producer Wang arrived at Wuxu Airport in Gui Province smoothly.

By the time we took a taxi and arrived near the train station, it was already early in the afternoon.

Producer Wang found something to eat at random, and then took a rest for half an hour before arriving at the Happy Marriage Agency with a gift.

"Hello, sir, welcome to the Happy Marriage Agency." Wang Zhijian had just entered the dating agency when a sweet-looking young lady came up to greet him.

Producer Wang also greeted: "Hello, Miss, is Master Jiang in?"

When Miss Yingbin saw the gift Wang Producer was holding, she knew that she was looking for her boss. She nodded with a smile and said, "Yes, please wait a moment, I will report to you."

Producer Wang said politely: "Then please trouble me, Miss!"

"Sir, you're welcome. I'll come as soon as I go."

"Ok."

……

In less than 3 minutes, Producer Wang, led by Miss Yingbin, entered the boss's office and met Jiang Feng, a nationally renowned matchmaker.

Looking at Master Jiang, who was as good-looking as a big star, Producer Wang handed over the gift and introduced himself: "Master Jiang, my surname is Wang, and I am the host of the dating show "If You Are the One". chief producer."

Jiang Feng was a little surprised when he heard the words, he took the gift casually, and then greeted with a smile: "Hello, Producer Wang, I have watched many episodes of "If You Are the One" produced by you, and my parents have been following it for several years. It’s really a fantastic show.”

Producer Wang said with a smile all over his face: "It's our honor to receive a compliment from Master Jiang for our program."

Jiang Feng put the gift on the table next to him, poured a cup of tea for Producer Wang, and then sat down opposite him and said, "I'm just telling the truth, your "If You Are the One" is indeed the best of its kind, and it can last The popularity of the show for more than ten years can be imagined."

Producer Wang took a sip of tea and sighed: "It's a pity that the ratings of our program have been declining in recent years. Although our program team has been working hard to revise it, the effect is still minimal."

Even if Jiang Feng didn't look at the matching information, he could vaguely guess the purpose of the other party's visit to him. He comforted him: "There is no other way. There is no program that can always maintain its peak. "If You Are the One" has been broadcast for more than ten years. , This is already a miracle.”

Having reached this point, Producer Wang no longer hides it, and cut straight to the point: "Master Jiang, to tell you the truth, I took the liberty of coming to visit you this time, mainly because I want to invite you to join our "If You Are the One" This program, I wonder if you would like it?"

Jiang Feng was not surprised when he heard the words. He looked at the other party calmly and said, "Producer Wang, do you mean to invite me to be a guest commentator on your show?"

Producer Wang nodded and said: "Yes, Master Jiang, our program wants to cooperate with you in an all-round way. In addition to inviting you to be our guest commentator, there are also male and female guests who will appear on the show. I also hope that your dating agency can supply."

Jiang Feng said with great interest: "Producer Wang, please tell me about your plan!" While speaking, his heart moved, and he quickly looked at the other party's matching information.

Seeing this, Producer Wang was slightly relieved, and then he told Jiang Feng the new plan of their program group in detail, and finally said: "This is the complete plan of our program group, as long as Master Jiang is willing to follow If we cooperate, then our program group will not treat you badly, we can talk about the specific revenue sharing, do you think this will work?"

At this time, Jiang Feng had roughly gone through the matching information of Producer Wang, and it was clear where the bottom line of their cooperation was, and at the same time, he felt the sincerity of the other party.

It is no exaggeration to say that in order to bring the marriage and love show "If You Are the One" back to life, the program team really bleeds a lot!
There is one thing to say, Jiang Feng doesn't really care too much about money. With such a magical golden finger, if he only wanted to make money, his net worth would have exceeded tens of billions.

He chose the matchmaking industry because he hoped that lovers would eventually get married. He felt that this was doing good deeds and accumulating virtue. Seeing couples live a happy life under his help, he felt an indescribable feeling. pride.

Many marriage and love programs, including "If You Are the One", those couples who hold hands successfully are not 100% fake, but it is certain that most of them are fake, just for the effect of the program.

Jiang Feng, as the well-deserved No. 1 in the matchmaking world, felt that it was necessary to lead the trend and let the audience see what a real blind date is.

So, Jiang Feng nodded readily and said, "Okay, since Producer Wang thinks highly of me, I'm willing to try to cooperate with you, but there is one thing I have to agree in advance."

Producer Wang said excitedly: "Master Jiang, tell me, I will never refuse what I can do!"

Jiang Feng said: "Whether it's male guests or female guests, I will choose them. Once the candidates are selected, your program team will come forward to persuade them to participate in the program."

"No problem!" Producer Wang agreed without hesitation.
