Started as an independent producer in 1988

Chapter 283 Detonates Asia!

In early May, many people in the distribution department of Beijing Film Studio had sad faces.

“There’s no way to explain the current box office results!”

"How about adding one more to the list of films?"

"Scheduling is not the key, attendance is the problem."

"That's all a minor problem for you. Several sponsors have called to inquire about the situation. I don't even know what to say."

It's been almost a week since The Truman Show was released, and it hasn't performed well in the country.

Of course, compared with Chen Shiping's previous movies, the box office of the movie was actually pretty good.

It is not a problem at all to win a domestic box office of 30 to 40 million yuan.

The only problem is that there is no way to explain such results.

At this time, in Chen Shiping's office, he was listening to the report from the distribution department.

I'll have to look up the information from each country later.

Chen Shiping shook his head and said: "Europe and the United States don't need it. Europe and the United States are still very accepting of this setting."

"The performance in the Southeast Asian market is pretty good, with the highest box office in Bay Area and Japan, followed by South Korea and Hong Kong."

Xiao Li asked strangely: "Is this movie just to promote the concept of reality shows?"

It's hard to deal with Chen Shiping, and it's also hard to deal with sponsors.

As expected of the factory director, one link after another, you don’t know what he means until you see the end.

Diversified and comprehensive planning is the key.

"Yes and no, but there are indeed considerations in this regard."

Chen Shiping took a sip of tea and said with a smile: "It's normal. The subsequent publicity will focus on the concept of reality shows and variety shows to let the audience have a basic concept of reality shows. A reality show will be launched in the future."

The language is different, the culture is different, and the celebrities I know are different.

The culture and entertainment in Asia is still far behind Europe and the United States. First use movies to heat up this topic, and then launch reality shows, which can quickly open up the market. "

Emotions are playing chess here.

Chen Shiping didn't finish it even after working on it all afternoon. There are at least twelve episodes in a season, so it can't be that easy to finish.

Taking advantage of the fame it just gained at the Asian International Film Festival, The Truman Show has become a hot topic in Asia, and it is easy to promote the concept of a reality show.

The program guests should also choose a group of the most popular celebrities in Asia.

Talent shows are easy to become popular, but it is difficult to cover the entire Asian region with one program.

The planning of this program cannot be left to Mei Juan. She can't handle it well and she doesn't have the concept.

"Then should Europe and the United States cooperate with Colombia in promoting this concept?"

Xiao Li: "." Unable to refute!
After the two chatted for a few more words, Xiao Li went to work.

It's not that simple to get viewers to accept a TV show.

Chen Shiping can rest assured if he does it himself.

If another reality show is launched at this time, it will easily make the audience look forward to it.

Chen Shiping thought of national treasures and also thought of extreme challenges and running bars.

As for the selection of guests, Chen Shiping also had a headache. He had to do some research later.

"The response at the domestic box office was not good, but the discussion was very hot."

"What's the explanation to the investors?" Xiao Li looked at Chen Shiping and asked.

I want to combine them to create a reality show suitable for promotion throughout Asia.

Chen Shiping raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "What's the explanation? It will be released throughout Asia and will be released in Europe and the United States later. Isn't that enough?"

I think the combination of these three is good, but how to integrate these three things is a headache.

Chen Shiping took the pen and looked at the manuscript paper in his hand. After thinking for a while, he put the pen down.

Therefore, these issues must be considered when setting up the program. Simply creating a program that will be popular in future generations may not be adaptable now.

Xiao Li has nothing to say. No wonder he keeps asking to promote the concept of reality shows. This will not help the movie box office much.

Xiao Li glanced at Chen Shiping's reaction and then boldly said:

Chen Shiping said with a smile: "If someone else had taken the photo, it probably wouldn't have caused such a big discussion, and no one else would have so many resources to promote this concept.

The manuscript paper is something he refined based on some popular reality TV shows.

The people in the distribution department had a headache. Chen Shiping's movie was destined to fail domestically.

"The main reason is that everyone is very vague about the concept of reality shows. Film critics and the media have rated it very highly, but fans are a little bit confused about it. It feels very sci-fi."

With the slogan of exchanging and promoting the cultures of Asian countries, the program will be exported to all of Asia, and then used as a gap to open up the TV program market in various countries.

Chen Shiping thought about it for a while and then started writing and drawing in his notebook.

Chen Shiping wanted to put the filming location of this show in one country in Asia.

You can’t just slap your forehead and make a blind choice.

For new programs, permanent guests are the first factor that attracts viewers, but the quality of the program comes second.

Chen Shiping's planning was very slow. Xiao Li's side had started advertising the reality show, and he was still planning slowly.

At this time, countries in Asia where The Truman Show is showing are discussing the news that just broke.

The famous director Chen Shiping will spend US$30 million to create Asia's first large-scale super reality show, which will be available to audiences across Asia by the end of the year!
As soon as this topic came up, it instantly aroused public opinion.

Thirty million dollars just for a TV show?
The first large-scale super reality show?

People who haven’t watched The Truman Show are wondering, what kind of reality show is this?

Fans who have watched The Truman Show are a little surprised. Is Chen Shiping going to bring the movie to reality?
For a time, reality shows and The Truman Show were once again the center of heated discussion.

Everyone is curious about what a reality show is. What kind of reality show is Chen Shiping planning?

It’s just that Chen Shiping announced that he only invested US$30 million to become the number one company in Asia.

Everyone was puzzled and extremely curious.

People who have never seen the movie can’t help but be curious enough to go into the theater to watch The Truman Show and see what the reality show is all about.

A few days later, the box office of The Truman Show continued to rise, and there were more and more discussions in society.

However, there are also many viewers who have watched The Truman Show and feel that the reality show is too cruel.

Showing all of a person's life without any privacy, even if everyone deceives him alone, is worse than going to jail!

The greater the controversy, the greater the discussion about movies and reality shows.

If it was just for hype to boost the box office, Chen Shiping could have stopped at this time.

But Chen Shiping is not just releasing fake news for the sake of hype, he is really going to do it!

Three days later, Chen Shiping released the news again.

We are recruiting reality show host guests from all over Asia. A total of six hosts will be selected from different countries and regions.

The program will focus on competition, entertainment, game interaction, cultural exchange and other content.

At the same time, we are soliciting filming locations for the program. Each week's episode will be filmed in a different country or region.

Viewers are welcome to write to local partner media to vote!
The deadline for voting is August 30.

Chen Shiping spread the news bit by bit like squeezing out toothpaste.

A guest list and filming locations will be released every few days. The news cannot be released all at once, it must come bit by bit.

Only in this way can this program become popular before it is released and arouse discussions and heated discussions in various countries.

In this way, Chen Shiping will have more initiative when talking to those TV stations.

Not to mention the issue of initiative, some TV stations have already begun to contact Beijing Film Studio.

I hope to be able to shoot there, especially in countries where tourism is a pillar industry.

I'm not stupid, this is a good publicity opportunity!
If this was put on a show, the number of tourists would not increase dramatically!

As for the failure of the program, they have not considered it. They have spent so much money on promotion, invested 30 million US dollars, and the topic has attracted so much attention.

Chen Shiping just shoots a piece of cake, and the audience will see it!

What's more, there is no way this will fail!
How could a great director like Chen Shiping fail if he takes action himself?

If we could really produce a show that was as popular around the world as the movie The Truman Show, it would be a huge profit!

Chen Shiping is very melancholy now. Every day, people call him to call him Chen Zhuxi and recommend celebrities and some scenic spots in his country.

Doesn’t this interfere with your own creation?

In the end, Chen Shiping didn't even bother to answer the phone.

Love so and so!
Don't delay my creation!

In Chen Shiping's office, Mei Juan sat opposite him and kept giggling, serving tea and pouring water.

"Master, please give me a spot in this show!"

Chen Shiping raised his eyebrows and glanced at her and said, "To whom?"

"Hu Bing or Qing Qing, when the TV series airs next week, they will definitely be popular all over Asia!"

Mei Juan said confidently: "The audience will definitely like to watch it!"

"No."

Chen Shiping refused directly. The two of them were going to continue filming TV series, so why did they come to join in the fun?

Since it’s popular, let’s keep up the good work and make more TV series!
Seeing Chen Shiping being so direct, Mei Juan had no choice but to say, "Okay, but do you really plan to film it yourself?"

Chen Shiping hummed and said, "Let's shoot a few episodes first to make a sample, otherwise I won't worry about it. I just need to be named the chief director later."

Mei Juan couldn't help but said: "Isn't it a bit embarrassing for a world-renowned director to make a TV show?"

"What's so shameful? Who gave the director a third, sixth, or ninth grade?" Chen Shiping said speechlessly: "Artistic film directors are awesome!"

"That's right!"

"Narrow-minded! I'll take the photo!"

Mei Juan: "." You have the willpower, what else can I say!
The two were chatting in the office when Xiao Li knocked on the door and came in.

"Director, Sister Juan." Xiao Li said with a smile: "The Truman World is out at the box office."

"How many?"

"USD 36 million in Asia. The box office has grown so fast in the following period, thanks to the popularity brought by reality shows."

Mei Juan was a little surprised. It’s scary for a literary film to get this box office!
Chen Shiping said with a smile: "Those sponsors have nothing to say now, right?"

"Not only did he have nothing to say, he was also calling to ask if he could continue to sponsor future reality shows!"

"Let them wait for news. We don't have time to attract investment at the moment."

Chen Shiping is very satisfied with the movie's box office. There will be European and American markets in the future. This movie has made a lot of money.

Isn’t it just a small amount of the money spent on filming the reality show? If there is part of the investment and financing in the future, the factory won’t have to spend any extra money.

The factory now has a mature business operation model, rather than being a small factory that only produces movies.

Chen Shiping spent nine years, which is embarrassing to say.

Many state-owned enterprises in China can become the number one in the domestic industry in just one or two years if they are determined to reform. It took Beijing Film Studio nine years.

Chen Shiping still needs to learn more from those seniors!
A few days later, Chen Shiping was sitting in his study, looking at the finished plan and letting out a sigh of relief.

It’s almost finished!

But he hasn't decided on a name for the reality show yet.

"Come out and watch TV! Blue Love is about to be broadcast!" Tao Huimin's voice suddenly came from outside the study.

Chen Shiping put down his pen and shouted: "If you haven't read it all, I won't read it!"

"It premieres on CCTV tonight! Come watch it with me!"

"Don't go!"

"If you don't come, I'll put your daughter in the study!"

Chen Shiping twitched the corner of his mouth, the child has become a murderous weapon now!

Forget it, I’ve finished writing the plan, let’s watch TV.

Watching TV with your baby in your arms is also a parent-child activity.

When Chen Shiping was teasing the child, Tao's mother couldn't help but ask: "When will it be broadcast in Zhejiang?"

"Mom, why are you asking this?" Tao Huimin asked strangely.

Tao's mother said with a smile: "I called my family some time ago and mentioned this, so I asked them for help."

Tao Huimin sighed, thought for a moment and said, "It will probably be next month. I didn't ask for details."

Tao's mother looked at Chen Shiping again and asked, "Where is Shiping? Do you know?"

"Next month on the 1st." Chen Shiping said with a smile: "It will be great if all the major TV stations will air it in the future. We don't have to wait for local stations to take turns to broadcast it."

Tao's mother asked curiously: "What does it mean to go to the star?"

"It means transmitting signals through satellites." Chen Shiping explained briefly, but Tao Huimin pushed him a few times to shut up and stop talking while watching TV!
Chen Shiping's head hurts. He has watched it once, and he still has the DVD at home. Why are you like this?

I really can’t understand a woman’s brain circuit!

Maybe it’s the joy of watching dramas?
A few days later, when Chen Shiping went to work, he could already hear people talking about Blue Life and Death Love.

The TV series is really a hit! CCTV’s ratings record was directly broken!
Jiang Qingqing, Jia Jingwen and Chen Zihan have all become big stars.

Originally just an ordinary class beauty contestant, now she is a super beautiful star class beauty.

With the blessing of the halo of fame, his temperament is completely different.

Jiang Qingqing is so excited that she can't sleep every night. She has become a big star!
People in school who are pursuing me are starting to line up!

But I can’t fall in love now!
Mei Juan asked the participating actors not to fall in love and to remain single.

Otherwise, the character will be unbearable!

In the case of commercial operations, the image of actors must also be managed.

These actors are really popular now. They have been interviewed by reporters, invited by magazines, and endorsed by advertisements.

It’s really like pie in the sky, he became an A-list star after just one drama!

Wherever you go in China, you can hear people discussing them, but the situation abroad is unknown.

It's not broadcast in Japan and South Korea now. People who have money and don't ask Chen Shiping to do things will naturally not get it so easily.

There is no feedback on the situation in other parts of Asia yet. I don’t know if the TV series will become popular.

Two days later, the situation in various regions was reported back one after another. Blue Love of Life and Death broke local ratings records in many regions!
In many areas, when the TV series is aired, almost everyone watches it!
There's no one on the street!
All the business bosses want to curse!

Grandma, come out and spend money!
