Chapter 169
China Television Building, Variety Channel.

Studio No. [-], this is the largest studio of Variety Channel, and many large-scale variety shows are recorded here.

It fully meets Ye Luo's requirements.

Deputy Director Lu spent several days with Variety Channel before they agreed to lend them the big studio.

At this time, Studio No. [-] is being rearranged.

A deputy director of the Variety Channel was smoking and chatting with Deputy Director Lu at the door. The deputy director was surnamed Lin. Seeing the heat in the studio, he said with some emotion: "This set is decorated, although it is simple, but with The equipment and the like can be regarded as an expense, so just let a host mess around like this?" In Deputy Director Lin's view, the program that Lao Lu talked about was nonsense at all, who would like to watch poetry competitions?It's no wonder this show has ratings.

Deputy Director Lu said while smoking a cigarette: "Our channel hasn't released a new program for a long time, and this time it's an attempt. I think Teacher Ye's idea is still good, and we'll see how to operate it when we see it."

Although Lao Lu didn't like Ye Luo's show in his heart, he definitely couldn't say that to outsiders.

"I really don't know what Director Tang thinks."

Deputy Director Lin said cheerfully, this matter is a joy for him, anyway, good or bad has nothing to do with their variety show channel.

Deputy Director Lu didn't say anything.

They were building the stage in full swing, and on the other side, Director Zhang was not idle. Since Ye Luo had confirmed the guests, he started to promote things.

Soon, advertisements for the "Chinese Poetry Conference" began to appear on various channels of the Literature and Art Channel.

Exclusively planned by Mr. Ye Luo, CTS Literature and Art Channel and Ancient Literature Association jointly launched a new large-scale poetry competition program, and registrations are hot. "

The following is the specific introduction of the program that follows: no limit to youth, no occupation, no city, as long as you love ancient poetry, as long as you have a strong interest in poetry, as long as you have a solid foundation in poetry, you can sign up for the competition!
Registration method [-]: Registration on the official website of the Literature and Art Channel or the special link of the Ancient Literature Association.

Registration method 400: Telephone registration: Please dial the program group number [-]-********.

Column group: "Chinese Poetry Conference".

The content of this ad is actually very good. After all, their column is still in the preparatory stage. There are many things that are not suitable for publicity. We can only do publicity for the audition first.

However, although the content of the ad is simple, it can't stand up to the Art Channel and the Ancient Literature Association. They are really working hard!
Originally, Director Tang thought that Ye Luo could do it on his own, but he didn't expect the Ancient Chinese Association to come up with 500 million project funds in one go!And it is not enough to promise to continue to add more!
500 million may not be a big deal for a variety channel, but it is quite a lot for their programs on the art channel!

Moreover, the most important thing is that the production cost does not need to be paid by their channel!
If this really makes a difference, selling naming fees or something, then their art channel will also get a share of it!

This made Director Tang refreshed, and the support for this column was even stronger.

official website!

Weibo!

TV station!
Various channels are bombarded in turn. In the channels of the Art Channel, advertisements for the "Poetry Conference" audition can be seen everywhere.

Director Tang even went to the main station in person to ask for a location for a "rolling advertisement" during a popular time slot on the "Comprehensive Channel".

What strength is this?
Just let everyone know about such a simple advertisement for the audition.

On the day when the ad was launched, there were already many related topics and posts on Weibo.

"I'll go! The Art Channel is doing a great job this time!"

"Poetry competition programs? I haven't heard of them. Are there other programs of this type? In my impression, aren't poetry programs all lectures?"

"Ms. Ye planned it herself? Does Mrs. Ye know how to plan programs?"

"I really understand. Didn't he participate in the planning of the previous "Heavenly Creation"? The ratings are quite high."

"Ms. Ye is indeed the most outrageous host in history. He really does everything."

"The most amazing thing is that people are really capable."

"I don't know if this program can be done well. Poetry competition programs sound exhausting."

"Isn't it like an exam? I don't want to recall the feeling of being dominated by ancient poems when I was in school."

"Ms. Ye is good at hosting the show, but planning and hosting are two different concepts. Professionals should be done by professional people. Just looking at the name of this show, I think it's outrageous. Poetry competition? Isn't that just Chinese in school? Exam? I finally graduated, and I came here to see this, am I sick?"

"Two days ago, this poem surnamed Ye was just selected into the Chinese textbook, and now he came out to do such a program, you are really insane! But don't we students? Can't you change the object?"

As the topic became more and more popular, many netizens came to watch.

Even, many industry insiders from TV stations came forward to comment.

A Weibo certified program producer from the Hebei Satellite TV Channel commented: "Poetry is a niche content. Although everyone has learned it since they were in school, how many people use it every day? Can this kind of poetry competition have How many people will participate? Why not just designate the contestants directly? It’s interesting to directly select some famous poets in the industry to participate in the competition. What is the highlight of the national audition now? Let’s see a group of selected amateurs on the stage take an exam?"

Some professionals said: "To be honest, Teacher Ye's desire to promote traditional culture is good, but did he choose the wrong carrier? He thought that the explanation of poetry in the "Classical Literature Society" became popular, and a new program would be able to do it." Fire? If it is a lecture program, I am more optimistic. However, this "Chinese Poetry Conference" obviously has a feeling of taking it for granted, and the final ratings may not be too ideal."

Some producers even said directly: "This so-called competition is probably a gimmick. I inquired about this program, and there are resident guests, so there must be lectures in the end. After all, the general direction of the market is now Well, just look at the top-rated programs on the Literature and Art Channel. They are all kinds of storytelling. Audiences like to listen to stories, rather than watching a group of people taking exams. How fast and tense is the pace of life now, competitions How can there be any market for similar programs? I estimate that the so-called innovation of this program is, in all likelihood, an old program refurbished and repackaged.”

"I remember that this kind of competition program appeared before, but it was quickly eliminated by the market."

"As a program planner, the most taboo thing is to think that you have found a gap in the market. The reason why there is a gap is not that there is no such thing in the market, but that the market does not accept this form. What has been done, is all on the street, isn't it just a gap? .”

"Be cautious when crossing lines."

"It's enough to host the show well. If you have to get involved in the planning, it's not a loss at all."

"Let's not say that this gimmick itself is not interesting, just say that it is really appropriate to use the banner of CTS to engage in these vain things?"

After watching this "Chinese Poetry Conference", many professionals in the industry shook their heads and sang bad words.

Netizens were quite divided, but fans in the literary world supported Ye Luo.

"The positioning of this program is not for all audiences, it is obviously made for poetry lovers!"

"You don't know the status of Teacher Ye in the field of poetry? What's wrong with a poetry competition program?"

"How did "Literary Society" become so popular? Didn't Teacher Ye start it alone? If you can't do something, you think others can't do it? Anyway, I think this show is pretty good! I'll sign up for the competition!"

"I'll sign up too!"

"That's right, once you sign up, you might have the chance to share the stage with Teacher Ye."

"At the beginning, the members of the Chess Association didn't believe in Teacher Ye. What happened? Many times of experience told us not to underestimate Teacher Ye! The most professional host in history, I'm not kidding!"

"Stop talking, I'm a fan of Yeluo! Sign up for the competition!"

"Everyone help Teacher Ye repost and publicize it."

However, more netizens are very pessimistic.

"Poetry competition? It's too niche, why not continue writing books."

"Yeah, Ye Luo's book is interesting to me, but what do you think is so interesting about this show?"

"This show is called a variety show, but it's not a variety show. It's a reality show, but it's not a reality show. It's all amateurs who have been auditioned. You can have a few stars."

"That is, if the player is replaced by a star, it must be worth seeing."

"If you can bring Tang Tianhou here, I will order it!"

"It's okay to be a judge without being a contestant."

"It's boring. This is a so-called competition. If it's fair, then if I make a move, what else will anyone else do?"

"You really can blow it! Is it your business that I want to compete?"

"Hehe, Changsha's No. [-] Poetry King requests to join the battle!"

"Ha, come to fight if you don't accept it!"

"Who will participate in this kind of competition? It's all shady, and it's been decided long ago."

Netizens were talking.

It was just an advertisement for the audition, but it caused waves of discussions on the Internet.It can be seen that Ye Luo's popularity is no longer the same.Even though many people have no feelings for him, they have heard of his name to some extent.Even if the person and the name don't match, it's still much better than when you were unknown before.

……

Arts Channel.

A newly vacated large office, with the words "Chinese Poetry Conference" column group hanging on the door.

Ye Luo, Director Zhang, Director Zhao and others all moved here from their original offices.

There are quite a few people in the office, all of whom were temporarily transferred from various departments. Some were selected by Deputy Director Lu, and some were specially selected by Director Zhang and Director Zhao.

At this moment, everyone in the office was busy busy.

Director Zhao is reporting feedback to Ye Luo, "The public opinion on the Internet is not very favorable to us, do you want to invite some people to stand for us?" Since the advertisement was published, Director Zhao has been paying attention to the comments on the Internet.

After all, this is the Internet age, and Internet public opinion can sometimes greatly affect the ratings of a program.

Due to the existence of the Wenzhen Group, Blue Star Huaxia's entertainment industry has no sailors.However, the Wen Zhen team can't control things like inviting some relevant people to stand on the platform. This is also a tacit matter in the entertainment circle.Whether it's a movie song, a TV show, or a literary work like Ye Luo's literary world, when releasing a new product, some famous people will be invited to stand on the stage.

"Is there anyone suitable?"

Ye Luo is not a pedantic person, so it is useless to pretend to be noble at this time.

"There must be candidates, but they must be interesting." Mr. Zhao said.

"How much?" Ye Luo asked.

"This number." Mr. Zhao gestured.

Ye Luo clicked her tongue a little, "Forget it, it's too expensive."

It is possible to ask someone to stand on the platform, but the price is really outrageous.

"How's the registration for the audition?" Ye Luo asked again, this was what he was most concerned about.

In fact, not only Ye Luo, almost everyone in their newly established program group was silently paying attention to this matter.

After all, according to the planning process, the audition is the first link.If this first step is not good, what is the follow-up?
Many people actually don't want to come here, but because of Director Tang's pressure, they can't come here.

Some people in the previous department were in the old-age state of paddling water and receiving wages, but they came here to work like old scalpers. The problem is that they don’t know whether their efforts will be rewarded. What if this broken project is done? What?Isn't my hard work in the new program group all in vain?Who is willing to work hard?

Even at this time, I don't know how many people are eager for this project to die quickly, so that they can break up as soon as possible and go back to their respective homes.

Ye Luo is very clear about these situations, so he also needs to give everyone a shot in the arm, at least to let everyone see hope.

"I didn't read this, Brother Zhang is in charge." Director Zhao shook his head.

Just as he was talking, Director Zhang hurried in, waving a stack of A4 papers in his hand, and shouted when he entered the room, "It exploded, it exploded! It's so outrageous!"

"exploded?"

"What exploded?"

"Why is Director Zhang so happy?"

Director Zhang's sudden surprise successfully attracted everyone's attention.

"Old Zhang, have you counted the number of applicants for the first batch of auditions?" Mr. Zhao walked over and asked.

Ye Luo also turned to look at Director Zhang.

Director Zhang happily waved the document in his hand, laughed and said, "It's out, guess which place has the most applicants?"

Originally, according to Deputy Director Lu's intention, the audition was limited to the imperial capital.However, due to the participation of the Ancient Chinese Association, the national audition became possible, so they have set up audition venues in many big cities across the country.In particular, some cities with more famous universities are not just one or two competition points.

Mr. Zhao curled his lips and said, "The one with the largest number of people must be the imperial capital. Do you even need to think about it?"

Indeed, the imperial capital not only has a large population, but also has so many colleges and universities, it is undoubtedly the place with the most entries.

"..."

Mr. Zhao paused for a moment, and then said: "Then guess how many people signed up?"

"Ha, if you want to talk about other places, I dare not say, but I really have a clue in the imperial capital."

Director Zhao walked over with a smile, and other colleagues in the office also put down their work and looked at them.Those who smoke a little, and those who go to pick up water, should relax temporarily.

"Mr. Ye and I have roughly calculated the situation in the imperial capital. Because of the intervention of the Ancient Chinese Association, many professors at the school will help call on the students of this school. We estimate that these students alone will be able to gather 3000 people. .Even if 2000 people come from the social level, that’s 5000 people.” Director Zhao said.

Ye Luo also nodded, it was indeed calculated by him and Director Zhao when they had nothing to do.

Although it is an estimate, their estimates are not much different from the facts.

After all, there are so many members of the Ancient Chinese Association teaching at the Imperial University, how many universities are there in the Imperial City?In these universities, not to mention other departments, but the Faculty of Arts, how many students are there?It's not like you can't even attract 3000 people, right?
Ye Luo's focus is basically on the students, and the society doesn't have much expectations.After all, everyone is so busy at work, who has time to participate in your competition.

However, Director Zhang rolled his eyes, "5000 people? Are you kidding me? Who do you look down on? I'll give you another chance and everyone will guess."

"Huh? More than 5000?" Mr. Zhao was taken aback.

"Of course!" Director Zhang laughed and said, "Be bold, just use your imagination!"

The guy next to him tried to say, "About eight thousand?"

Dao Zhang said, "Yangyang, you young man has no imagination."

"I'm dizzy, it's impossible to exceed 1 people, right?" A big brother said in shock: "The number of participants in a single city audition exceeds [-]. There are not many programs that have such participation."

Ye Luo's eyes lit up, and she looked at Director Zhang expectantly.

But Director Zhang still shook his head, "You're right, but not accurate."

Mr. Zhao couldn't wait any longer, "Stop talking, just say something."

Director Zhang looked at the crowd, paused deliberately, and then said loudly: "A total of 320, [-] people! It's almost [-]!"

"How much, how much?"

Hearing the number, everyone in the room was dumbfounded.

Really, everyone's eyes widened!

More than 8000 people?

so many people?

I am grass!
What the hell are you making an international joke about?
Didn't you read the decimal point wrong?
its not right!
There is no decimal point for the number of participants!
