China Entertainment's Standout

Chapter 234 The king of variety shows, visiting the class at night

"Mr. Zhou."

"Hi Mr. Zhou."

In the conference room of Mingjie Company, all the company executives stood up together, their tone and attitude were respectful.

Zhou Yutang is not from Modu, but there is a legend about him in Modu Company.

He operates Mingjie Company behind the scenes, which is no secret among the company's senior circles.

"Hello."

Zhou Yutang also smiled and nodded to everyone: "Sit down, let's have a simple meeting today."

Zhang Yibei is his person and the manager of the variety show department, so she is naturally among this group of senior executives.

Through Zhang Yibei, Zhou Yutang has a good understanding of the operating conditions of Mingjie Company.

After listening to the senior executives of several departments reporting on the operations of each department, Zhou Yutang made a simple summary: "This year's "If You Are the One" reached its second season, with an average ratings of 2.12% and an average viewership share of 6.887%. For this show, Tian and I We have discussed it, and if it is completed this year, the copyright will be sold directly to Jiangsu Province TV Station."

There was a sudden murmur of discussion in the conference room.

The leader of the variety show department in charge of the "If You Are the One" project team stood up with a slightly nervous look on his face: "Mr. Zhou, although this project has average ratings, it is highly discussed. It provided the company with a lot of revenue last year, and it is expected to be at least as high this year. 3000 million. Isn’t it a pity to sell it like this?”

If people in the variety show departments of major TV stations heard that the program's ratings of 2.12% were only average, they would probably be depressed and vomit blood.

But that's what it is.

The ratings of "The Voice" produced by Zhou Yutang have exceeded five, and the show "Running Man" is also heading towards breaking five. These are both national-level variety shows.

The slightly less popular "I Am a Singer" and "The King of Masked Singer" also have average ratings of over three. Occasionally, there are ratings explosions, and the highest ratings can break four, and the average viewership share is above 10%. These are It is a phenomenal hit variety show.

By comparison.

"If You Are the One" can really only be regarded as an ordinary popular variety show.

"It's not a pity."

Zhou Yutang's mouth curved softly and he chuckled: "I noticed the report sent by the variety show department. Zhejiang Province Blue TV has launched a similar dating variety show, and several other TV stations are also doing similar dating shows. "

"There is almost no threshold for making a dating show like this. Once the novelty of "If You Are the One" wears off, the audience will inevitably be diverted and the ratings will fall further."

Tapping his fingers on the table, Zhou Yutang accurately called out the name of the leader of the project team: "Liu Feng, you also know that the company signed a program sharing contract with the TV station that is linked to ratings. At that time, the annual program sharing will only be There will be fewer and fewer”

"Suzhou TV Station has offered to buy out the copyright of the program. When negotiations are completed this year, the buyout price will not be less than [-] million."

"Mr. Zhou, I have no problem."

The project team leader named Liu Feng nodded and sat down.

very realistic.

The commission received by each project team is related to the income from the variety show in charge.

Since the revenue from this program will be less and less, the money they can get will also be reduced.

It's better to buy out the show, give out bonuses in one go, have a big meal, and then put your energy into new variety shows.

"This year the company's other planning plan is almost complete."

Zhou Yutang stood up and pressed a button. The projector in the conference room immediately showed the PPT prepared in advance.

""Dad! Where are we going?"

All the company's senior executives looked at the screen intently, and whispered excitedly to their colleagues around them:
"Celebrity fathers and their children survived for three days and two nights in several different remote villages or in relatively harsh outdoor environments. While experiencing strange environments, they completed tasks. Mr. Zhou deserves to be the king of variety shows. This plan, It feels very interesting.”

"With surveillance on site, there are at least more than 40 camera positions. Each celebrity father and son are equipped with two screenwriters and cameramen."

"There were at least more than 150 people working on the filming. This work is really no worse than "Running Man"."

"I'll go, Mr. Zhou is going to do something big again!?"

Everyone in the conference room was surprised and happy. Zhou Yutang glanced lightly and took in everyone's expressions, with a slight arc appearing at the corner of his mouth.

"Liu Feng, when this project starts, it will use a lot of people. After "If You Are the One" ends, do you have any problem bringing people from your group into this group for planning?"

"No, there's nothing wrong with that."

Liu Feng hurriedly stood up and looked at Zhou Yutang gratefully.

Why don't you catch the fragrant and sweet pie falling from the sky?
The other team leaders of the variety show project department all looked at him with envy.

This is an outdoor variety show planned by Zhou Yutang himself.

Just look at "Running Man" and you will know that there are definitely unlimited ways to make money.

The company made a lot of money, and the entire program team also received commission bonuses.

I came to the company for a meeting mainly to explain the "Where Are We Going, Dad" variety show.

This program was negotiated between Zhou Yutang and Ouyang Yangdao long ago, and they followed the old rules and signed a production fee + program ratings dividend contract.

It's just that this outdoor parent-child variety show uses a lot of people. It is planned and controlled by Mingjie Company, and people from Mango Channel will also participate in it to provide assistance.

End of the meeting.

Zhou Yutang was in Tian Ming's office and called the manager of the music department over.

Tuk Tuk Tuk!
"Mr. Zhou, Mr. Tian."

What came in was a middle-aged woman in her 50s or [-]s wearing a professional suit, with short hair and a rather capable temperament.

This woman named Tian Wei is a high-level talent that Tian Ming spent a lot of money to recruit. She has been working in music for more than 20 years. She has rich experience and strong ability.

"Manager Tian, ​​will Deng Ziqi's first nationwide concert tour start this month?"

"Yes, Mr. Zhou, we will start from the Beijing Station and then go to the Magic City, Nanjing, Chengdu, and Huacheng. There will be a total of fourteen stops, and the last stop will be held at the Hong Kong Red Pavilion."

"I'll be a guest at the concert at Beijing Station."

Zhou Yutang laughed.

I had promised Deng Ziqi earlier, and now I am doing a lot of movie promotion.

"Okay, I'll arrange it."

Tian Wei smiled and nodded: "Ziqi will be very happy if she knows this news. She has always regarded you as her idol."

Then, we sat and chatted for a while about the development of the company's music department.

This year, except for Deng Ziqi, who is at the top of her game, the other singers from "The Voice" are all doing well.

After hearing Tian Wei talk about another concert plan in the company, Zhou Yutang was a little curious: "Manager Tian, ​​Xu Song is also holding a concert?"

"It depends on you as the boss."

Tian Ming on the side crossed his legs and shook his head: "Xu Song is very popular on the Internet."

"And Xu Liang."

Manager Tian Wei laughed: "The popularity is also very good, but my singing skills need to be practiced hard."

After Xu Song and Xu Liang participated in The Voice, they both received mentors to turn them around. However, although they were talented at the time, their singing skills were not outstanding, and they naturally failed in the subsequent sessions.

It was also because these two people had excellent creative abilities that Zhou Yutang mentioned it at the time, and the company signed them in advance.

Zhou Yutang has met both of them.

In my impression, Xu Song and Xu Liang are both about 1.8 meters tall, and both are handsome boys with good looks.They are only one year apart in age, and they both graduated from a university with a bachelor's degree.

Xu Liang released two singles this year, "Red Makeup" and "Obsessed", which became popular on the Internet. They are inseparable from Xu Song in the QQ music rankings.

They are nicknamed by fans as the two giants of QQ Music.

Xu Song is also very powerful.

Although like Xu Liang, he failed to stand at the end of "The Voice", he began to stand out last year. With the help of the company, he released his first solo album "Custom". The song is very popular and has gloriously become a nail on the QQ music rankings.

The company has also invested a lot of publicity resources. Xu Song's first album sold well, and the company immediately launched a follow-up publicity plan. This year Xu Song released his second album "Xunwu Enlightenment". 》.

Although he is not as popular as Deng Ziqi, who has attracted countless fans with his amazing singing skills and has been in the limelight for a while, he can still be regarded as an extremely emerging young male singer in the Chinese music scene. In particular, his creative ability has triggered a heated discussion among fans.

Songs such as "Funeral of Roses", "Gray Head", "Sigh", etc. are all rare and high-quality songs, and many people have listened to them countless times.

Besides.

Jin Zhiwen, Liang Bo, Jike Junyi, Wu Mochou and others are also developing well.

With Zhou Yutang's participation, the emphasis on music and good voice was highlighted, and a lot of negative aspects were eliminated, making the whole program more pure.

Many singers who were originally at the bottom had no chance of advancement and no hope at all. They have truly changed their lives through "The Voice", a national-level music variety show.

Not to mention becoming a first- or second-tier star, at least you can live a comfortable life.

Contestants from "The Voice", even slightly famous singers, can receive commercial performance notices, and the appearance fee is at least tens of thousands.

"This year's auditions are still open to the three places across the Taiwan Strait, and there are many good talents coming."

"Brother Ming, I read the internal player evaluation report, and it seems that there is no potential to evaluate S-level newcomers."

"Nonsense, do you think Deng Ziqi is just a cabbage on the roadside that you can pick up casually?"

"."

Tian Wei laughed at what Tian Ming said.

However, she admired Zhou Yutang's eyes. It was Zhou Yutang who personally negotiated Deng Ziqi's contract.

A female singer who is at the peak of her career and who is about to become a queen in her next stop can be expected to create huge benefits for the company.

Zhou Yutang glanced at the internal player evaluation report, suddenly thought of something, and put down his crossed legs: "Brother Ming, there is no such thing as the little princess of the Ye family this year, right?"

"Haha."

Tian Ming was also happy: "Don't worry, there won't be anyone that good this year, but there are a lot of small fortunes from rich families, and there are still people who want to spend eight figures to buy a champion."

"So direct?"

Zhou Yutang was a little surprised.

"It's really that direct."

Tian Ming took a piece of information and handed it to Zhou Yutang: "Look, my family runs a company with a scale of about one billion. They found the leader of the "Good Voice" project team and offered 1000 million. They said it was still negotiable. , to support one’s own children to the top.”

"Tsk tsk."

Zhou Yutang shook his head and said with emotion: "I'm really willing to spend a lot of money."

From this we can also see the influence of "The Voice", otherwise who would spend so much money to buy a champion?

"Parents who love their children have far-reaching plans, as the old saying goes."

"Brother Ming, that's it, we still have to do a good job here to ensure the fairness of the program."

"I know that."

Tian Ming nodded slightly: "There are many contestants who have some connections at home. There are many things like parents using their brains to buy tutors to turn around. I am angry with the program team. The entire program process is transparent and fair."

"The Voice" is a popular variety show all over the world, so naturally he doesn't like this small profit.

But China is a human society after all. If there are players with a background like Princess Ye's, they will definitely have to take care of them.

In the third season of "The Voice", the average ratings remained above 5.25%, and the highest ratings exceeded 6%. It is a well-deserved national-level variety show.

After talking about business matters, Tian Ming talked about personal matters: "By the way, Yu Tang, my old man always wants you to come to my house for a casual meal. Do you want to come over tonight?"

"Not at night."

"What are your plans?"

"Shi Shi is filming in Hengdian, I'm going to visit a class."

"It's great to be young when I go to visit my class at night."

Tian Ming was stunned for a moment, glanced at Zhou Yutang meaningfully, and then slowly opened the thermos cup and took a sip of wolfberry water.

Taozi works as an artist assistant.

Because he works carefully and conscientiously.

Last year, he also won the best agent award from Tangren's internal selection.

But her intuition told her that something was wrong with Liu Shishi today.

During the day, when Director Li was narrating a play in a meeting, Liu Shishi's eyes were blank and he was obviously distracted.

Occasionally, he giggles.

Even the actors on the set didn't respond to greet her.

"Shi Shi's menstrual period is still some time away, and I haven't had anything to worry about lately."

After careful observation, analysis and summary, Taozi quickly came to the most likely conclusion:

A hot man must be coming.

When I asked in the past, I got an affirmative answer as expected. Taozi was a little dumbfounded: "Shi Shi, didn't you mean that he has a movie coming up and is busy promoting it?"

"I happened to be attending a variety show in Shanghai, so I stopped by to visit the class."

"The phone won't be turned on until tomorrow. Why are you visiting so late at night?"

"He is an investor, so he must come to see the actors."

The smile on Liu Shishi's face became brighter and brighter, her heart was as sweet as molten honey, and her eyes were as clear as the crescent moon.

Zhou Yutang has invested in many projects, and he has never visited other crews late at night.

And I just arrived in Magic City today. I had a meeting at the company and came to find myself after I was busy.

night.

Nine fifty-five.

The door of hotel room 407 opened in response.

Zhou Yutang ducked in, having just taken off his hat, mask, and sunglasses.

Liu Shishi threw himself into the familiar arms with great enthusiasm, and his legs that had been trained in dancing were dexterously crossed and hung tightly on his waist.

Haven't spoken yet.

First there was a passionate kiss.
