Super entertainment red envelope

Chapter 485 "Extreme Challenge"!
In the video, Wang Keng said frothingly: "...I really appreciate the movie "Operation Mekong". Whether it is the script, the actors, the production team or the shooting team, they are all very serious and dedicated, especially the director Li Zhifan, He did what a real director should do, and this is what our entire industry should learn from..."

"Ha ha!"

Seeing his righteous words, Zhou Ke couldn't help laughing and said, "Isn't this flattering too much?"

"Let him shoot!"

Li Zhifan smiled and didn't take it seriously. Someone must have passed the message to Wang Keng. Otherwise, with his cannon-mouthed characteristics, he would definitely not praise a colleague. There are many domestic directors who are better than Li Zhifan. If you don't boast, just praise him?
Moreover, in Li Zhifan's impression, Wang Keng never seemed to praise anyone, and he scolded his son for entering the TV industry. Now the sudden transformation is definitely not his own idea.

Perhaps long before this set of "performance" was completed, Li Zhifan had been scolded many times in his heart.

After dragging the progress bar for a few minutes, Li Zhifan turned off the video, took off the earphones, shut down the notebook and put it away, then turned his arms around Zhou Ke: "Go to sleep!"

"Yeah!" Zhou Ke shrank into the quilt, just turned off the light, and suddenly interrupted in a low voice, "Don't grab it, squeeze it out..."

"Good good!"

Li Zhifan hastily stopped, but his evil intentions were not dead, he smiled and asked: "Honey, I want to..."

"Don't think about it!"

"I just want to..."

"The child is asleep, what should I do if I wake up!"

"Hold up and keep quiet, take your time!"

"don't want……"

"..."

……

In a blink of an eye, a week later.

Li Zhifan set off to return home.

This time I came back because I had a new job.

Last year at the launch conference of Timeline, Li Zhifan announced that there will be a new talent show in the next two years, but the radio and television has introduced restrictions on variety shows, not allowing excessive entertainment, and only one photoshoot for music and singing programs will be released every quarter. , resulting in the inability to produce talent show programs this year.

However, we have already signed a production agreement with Mango Channel and Mango TV. The talent show cannot be done, and there must be another variety show on top. Li Zhifan originally planned to directly do the second season of "Star Detective", but this show was not allowed by the radio and television Star, so even if you do, it's meaningless.

In desperation, Li Zhifan had to take out the treasure at the bottom of the box - the variety show "Extreme Challenge" that he had snatched from the male helper before.

Although Li Zhifan has never served as the chief director or chief producer of a variety show, even "Star Detective" he only produced the first three episodes, and then handed over the full authority to the team. Production, two young people born in the 90s who became timelines respectively.

However, he is still very confident in producing a star-level variety show.

At least in terms of concept and conception, there are reference objects, and in terms of post-production, there is technology and ability.

Mango Golden Eagle Production Center.

Li Zhifan came here directly as soon as he got off the plane.

The conference room was full of people, including employees from the production department of cable TV, employees from Mango TV, and employees from Mango TV.

In addition, Huang Tianhai was also present.

Li Zhifan's vacancy for this show is from Huang Tianhai's production team.

If Li Zhifan hadn't been there last year, the program originally scheduled to be broadcast would have been the work of Huang Tianhai's team. As for what they will do, that's another story.

But then Li Zhifan's timeline came out, and he reached an agreement with Mango Channel, Mango TV, and Huang Tianhai's team to jointly produce a singing talent show.

With Li Zhifan's name on it, this talent show is sure to be popular, even if it's not at the national level, it's still a shocking reshuffle in the circle.

After the accident happened, Huang Tianhai's team was in a panic. They even thought about doing their own planning. They only needed Li Zhifan to be a guest of honor or something, and some people from the time line were needed to participate.

But Li Zhifan suddenly said that he had a new program plan that could replace the original plan, which made Huang Tianhai's team feel relieved, but also curious about what this new program would look like.

"Did you get off the plane?"

"You left the airport half an hour ago? Why don't you come!"

"I don't know what show this time is."

"Who knows!"

"Bless you, I hope this program is more reliable, and don't be killed by the radio and television!"

"Director Li is different now. His "Mekong River" is so taken care of by the higher-ups. I believe that this new variety show will not cause trouble for the radio and television, right?"

"I hope! The fault is that when we applied for the license last year, the Lychee Station stepped in and pried away our license. If we apply for this photoshoot now, hehe, they must not be our opponents."

"The new talent show on Lizhi TV is in the same schedule as ours. I don't know if this show can beat them!"

"Hey, it's hard to say! They co-produced the video with Hey Hey, and it's still a very gimmicky hip-hop rap. It is said that the production cost of the program cost [-] million yuan, and they invited Ye Tao, the most popular little heavenly king at the moment, as a mentor. The production has started, and the title of the program has not yet been decided, and the Internet has already been buzzing, and the inside stories of each have been exposed, attracting passers-by.

Just when everyone was talking, the door of the conference room was pushed open, and a production director of Mango TV walked in and shouted: "Quiet! Director Li will come right away, ready to welcome you!"

Everyone immediately sat upright, ready to applaud.

After waiting for less than half a minute, Li Zhifan's figure appeared at the door of the meeting room.

As soon as he saw his face, applause broke out in the meeting room.

Li Zhifan walked into the door, came to the most central position, shook hands with Huang Tianhai and several high-level managers of Mango TV, then turned and said to everyone below: "Everyone stop, listen to me!"

The meeting room suddenly fell silent, everyone pricked up their ears, and seriously pretended to be listening to the class.

"Before I come up with this idea, I want to ask everyone, what are the disadvantages of the popular variety shows at the moment!"

Li Zhifan's tone was steady, but he said without doubt.

The people below looked at each other in blank dismay. If you want to talk about the disadvantages, you don't have to think about it. You can just find a lot of negative comments from netizens on the Internet.

But they didn't understand Li Zhifan's intentions. Is it really as simple as saying that there is a problem?
After they finished talking about the disadvantages, Li Zhifan asked the new program to completely eliminate these disadvantages!
Many of the people present are veterans of variety shows. They know the unspoken rules that must exist in the variety show industry. Even if netizens scold them to death, they must do so.

There are also some bloody plots, which must exist, otherwise how to hype and publicize?
"Everyone, don't be restrained!"

Li Zhifan smiled lightly, "Just say what you want! Including our variety show on Mango Channel, this must be the one everyone knows best? I believe many people have read the negative reviews of my show on the Internet, and they must have a lot of experience."

Seeing that no one stood up to speak, Huang Tianhai was the first to speak: "Well, let me set an example. Let me say a few points first. The first point I want to say is the issue of shady scenes. We do variety shows. In fact, sometimes there is really no way to offend some people, their energy may cause the entire program group to be Freed! So there is no way, sometimes we can only hold our noses and eat shit, and do things that are sorry for our conscience!"

All the members below nodded, and agreed with what Huang Tianhai said. For them, when this kind of thing happened, they would face triple grievances. Facing the grievance of being threatened, facing the grievance of those artists who were harmed because of shady, More importantly, it is to face the grievances accused by the audience.

"it is good!"

Li Zhifan applauded, "What Director Huang said is very important, let's write it down."

As he said that, Li Zhifan picked up the pen, turned around and wrote the words "shady" on the whiteboard behind him.

"Director Huang, please continue with the second one!" Li Zhifan turned around and said after finishing writing.

"Hmm!" Huang Tianhai said, "The second thing I want to talk about is the dog-blood plot. When we were conceiving a program, we couldn't help but bring the dog-blood plot that is most likely to move the audience into the show. Come on, although some viewers will criticize us, we know that by using these plots, our program can have publicity hits, hype gimmicks, and even some sensational plots, which can also capture many viewers tears."

"The story of dog blood!" Li Zhifan said while writing these four words on the whiteboard.

Huang Tianhai didn't wait for Li Zhifan to finish writing this time, and continued: "The third and most important point is humility! Many times the shady scenes are not because of the big names of the guests, but because our program team is too modest. From the director, production People, even every fixed MC, in order to make the guests happy, to build a good relationship with these people, and to invite them to the show in the future, we had to make some compromises and humility. We could have won easily, Deliberately acting is difficult, even losing, I feel the same about this, I have watched him leave with satisfaction several times, but I feel short-sighted in my heart."

This time, Li Zhifan did not write the words "modest", but wrote the words "lost the spirit of the game".

Humility is not a bad thing, especially in reality shows, some humility really comes from the hearts of the guests.

However, once this kind of humility is rampant, it becomes a bad thing, losing the spirit of the game, not playing the game seriously, and losing the desire to fight. He thinks he has a good reputation, but in fact he loses the original intention of every game.

"Okay, let me just talk about these three! Everyone will continue to speak enthusiastically."

After Huang Tianhai finished speaking, he looked back at the whiteboard. When he saw the words "lost the spirit of the game", he was obviously taken aback, and felt that what Li Zhifan wrote was more appropriate than his "modesty".

With Huang Tianhai leading the charge, his subsequent speeches will be much bolder.

"I think the most unbearable thing is that the lines of the show are dramatized. Some shows even have screenwriters who write every sentence for the actors in front of the camera. No more fakes."

"I don't like the show to be too straightforward. It should be like a brain-burning suspense drama, which makes people unable to see clearly and guess the final ending. This is interesting."

"Haha, you are still immersed in the production of "Star Detective" and haven't recovered yet?"

"Yes, yes, the editor is actually the worst. What kind of screenwriter do you need for a reality show?"

"Look at what you said, we asked you to provoke you, can we call the director, okay? We don't write lines, we write the outline of the story and the rules of the game!"

"But sometimes you do require the guests to say some of the lines you wrote!"

"That, that, that's the director's problem, the producer's problem, can you blame us? I don't want to work lightly? I just want to spend my days trying to make funny jokes for those artists?"

"..."

The conference room suddenly turned into a debate field, because every line has been sprayed with shady scenes. The lighting, props, and choreographers will be scolded for not preparing enough, and they will be scolded for being too luxurious (such as placing advertisements). When someone points out something wrong with them, immediately speak back and fight back.

But none of their teams could scold the editor and director team, and those little lines slipped and slid, and they pissed me off when I said them.

Li Zhifan stood on the stage, looked at the people below with a smile on his face, and no matter how messy their quarrel was, when he heard a derogatory word, he would write it on the whiteboard.

The content of the game is empty and false, the plot is embarrassing, the stars who have no sense of variety are invited here just for fame, and the wrong characters are used to hype CP, especially male and female CPs, in order to create topics.

Li Zhifan wrote abbreviations on the whiteboard one by one, and the last whiteboard was almost full, so he knocked on the table and said, "Okay, everyone be quiet!"

In an instant, the audience was silent, and everyone sat down instantly.

Just like students in class.

Li Zhifan pointed to these words on the whiteboard and said: "This is the problem that we all can see. Some problems are small, some problems are big, some you say are indispensable, and some you say are forced. , but here, I want to tell everyone that the program we are going to do this time has none of the above problems!"

"what?"

"impossible!"

"There are none of these, so what shall we do?"

"That's right! It's okay to say that there are no fixed lines for the guests, but if you don't even have a plot, what kind of variety show are you going to do? There is still a routine for singing talent shows."

"That's right! If our product placement is gone, how can we sell it for money?"

"..."

Li Zhifan clapped his hands when he heard the rebuttals below: "Everyone listen to me, I didn't mean no, we didn't design things that shouldn't be designed by us, let the guests imagine, they want to form CP group CP, want to wear human design We can design the characters, story plots, game rules, etc., but the guests don’t have to follow our instructions, and they can mess around in the show. As long as the ultimate goal can be achieved, it doesn’t matter even if the studio is demolished. Word: Nonsense!"

"Naughty?"

This time even Huang Tianhai was stunned. Although he felt that Li Zhifan's attempt to solve these problems was not realistic, but very idealistic, but when he heard what he said later, he was speechless.

If it's nonsense, what kind of variety show are you doing?

Wouldn't it be good to invite a bunch of celebrities to lock up in one room and let them fight?

Li Zhifan took out the plan he had prepared and handed it to the assistant beside him: "Go and print it out, and send a copy to everyone."

Then, Li Zhifan turned around and erased all the words on the whiteboard, and wrote four words forcefully - Extreme Challenge!
　Chicken Strips is on the air, but I don’t have time to watch it, so I can only find time!
