Chapter 120 Strategic Cooperation with Phoenix Satellite TV
"The Story of the Cooking Team" is a kitchen team that reflects the life of the Air Force's grassroots company. Through vivid and vivid small things that happened to the six young cooks, the lively and colorful military camp life is vividly interpreted and full of fun.
This TV series in her previous life became popular all over the country, not only setting high ratings, but also allowing the audience to remember the vivid characters. Later, the second and third parts were broadcast one after another, and they also won a very impressive reputation and are still talked about by the audience.
Chen Lin chose this sitcom as the company's second work, in addition to being indeed a classic, mainly considering the cost issue.
This type of sitcom requires high scripts, few characters, simple venues, small investments and high returns are naturally the only choice for companies with insufficient strength.
Chen Lin has a list in his mind, such as "The Story of the Cooking Class", "The Legend of Wulin", "Love Apartment", "Dragon Gate Escort Agency" and other excellent sitcoms.
The first part of the kitchen class is mainly to consider the audience's acceptance. If the last three movies were remade in 1998, he doubted whether the audience who had not been influenced by the network could accept it? It would be safer to choose the kitchen class story as the company's second TV series.
In the next two days, Chen Lin and four screenwriters discussed the scripts of the kitchen class. After two days of getting along, Chen Lin felt relieved of the abilities of the four screenwriters, especially the talent of one of the screenwriters Zhang Yixin. He is not good at talking and laughing at work, but he is particularly talented in comedy. When discussing scripts, he often learns from one example and the small ideas and ideas he puts forward make Chen Lin very interesting.
Of course, the four screenwriters admired him even more and were so impressed that Chen Lin's continuous funny jokes made them laugh more often than they did in the past few years.
After arranging the creation of the script, Chen Lin and Yu Yu went to Hong Kong again on the third day.
The purpose of going to Hong Kong is to negotiate variety shows cooperation with Phoenix TV. As the saying goes, eggs cannot be placed in one basket, and cooperating with other TV stations is Chen Lin’s established strategy.
The negotiations between "Two Days and One Night" and Hunan Satellite TV made him speed up his search for other strategic partners, and after going to Shanghai East TV with him, he came to Phoenix Satellite TV.
This time, the cooperation with Phoenix TV is not just "Happy Camp", but Chen Lin hopes to reach a broader strategic cooperation with him.
When Chen Lin personally called Phoenix Chairman Liu Changle, he received a warm response from the other party. The two hit it off and Liu Changle quickly sent an invitation letter.
As soon as Chen Lin and his group got off the plane's spinning ladder, Yu Yu called. After the phone was called, Yu Yu called Chen Lin's attention.
"Senior brother, I've arrived at the airport."
"Junior sister, I'm waiting for you at the airport exit."
Senior brother? Junior sister? Damn, why do you feel uncomfortable when you hear it? "Yuer, who is your senior brother?" Chen Lin couldn't help asking.
"You will see it soon." Yu Yu replied casually.
Well, Chen Lin kept a little dissatisfaction in his heart for the time being. He wanted to see who the so-called senior brother is. He made sure to not give the "senior brother" his face, but when he saw the true face of "senior brother", he immediately changed into a smile and took the initiative to step forward a few steps and held the other party's hand to greet him.
"Ha, Dou Wentao, a famous host of Phoenix TV, I have been admired for a long time." It turned out that Yuer's senior brother was him. Chen Lin's displeasure disappeared when he saw Dou Wentao.
"Why should I call you Hua Zelei or Mr. Lin?" Dou Wentao said with a smile.
"Haha, I call you Brother Wen Tao, just call me Mr. Xiaolin." Chen Lin asked Dou Wentao to call him nickname, because the title of "Mr. Xiaolin" is regarded as a friend, because only media reporters and friends call him this. (Note: Some book friends reported that everyone calls him "Mr. Xiaolin" and lost his boss' identity, so some of the company employees in the previous company also called him "Mr. Xiaolin". After this chapter, the title will be limited to friends.)
"Okay, Mr. Xiaolin, Junior Sister Yu, let's go back to the hotel first and then to the TV station. Originally, Director Liu wanted to pick up the two of them in person, but he would not be able to receive a few foreign guests for the time being. Director Liu asked me to convey his apology." Dou Wentao apologized while leading the two out of the airport.
"Brother Wen Tao, you are already very proud of us." Chen Lin smiled and then asked how his brother-sister relationship came about with Yu Yu.
Dou Wentao smiled and told the reason. It turned out that Cui Yongyuan was also his teacher when he was intern at the Central People's Radio "Half-hour at Noon" when he had just graduated.
Chen Lin suddenly realized that he didn't know that Dou Wentao and Cui Yongyuan also had a teacher-student relationship.
After a short rest at the hotel, Chen Lin and his group went to Phoenix TV.
Chen Lin and his wife were welcomed grandly at the entrance of the TV station. Liu Changle, chairman of Phoenix TV, led a group of cadres to greet the two in person.
Liu Changle introduced the generals around Chen Lin and his wife, and several of them knew Chen Lin without introducing them, such as Chen Luyu, Hu Yihu, Wu Xiaoli, etc.
After everyone made some polite words, Liu Changle personally started a guide and took the two to visit the TV station.
Phoenix TV was launched in 1991 and is headquartered in Hong Kong. Its main target is Chinese audiences around the world, including overseas Chinese. Its predecessor was the Chinese TV station under Star Media, which is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the famous media tycoon Murdoch News Group.
In 1996, Phoenix TV introduced Liu Changle as an investor, and Murdoch himself took part in the shares, slowly diluting from 45,38.8 shares to 19.9. As for why Murdoch wanted to introduce other investors, diluting the shares was naturally the result of a political compromise.
In the past life, Phoenix TV really appeared in the eyes of mainland audiences because of the 9/11 incident. Chen Lin remembered that when 9/11 occurred, Phoenix TV's reporters were the first to post the news of the explosion to China. Since then, Phoenix TV's news and information programs have become his golden sign.
"Mr. Liu, I want to visit the news live broadcast room and editing room of your station." Chen Lin was very interested in Phoenix's news program and took the initiative to visit these departments.
So the group focused on visiting the News Department, and Chen Lin visited the studio where Hong Kong's return to Hong Kong was broadcast live for 60 hours in the News Department, and created a live broadcast record. He admired the staff behind the scenes who created this record and took photos with them.
I met several senior current affairs and financial commentators and hosts such as Lu Ningsi, He Liangliang, Qiu Zhenhai in the news editing and editing room. Chen Lin liked to watch these news commentary programs in his previous life and felt that he had increased a lot of knowledge. Therefore, he respected these senior commentators very much and was called a teacher.
"Teacher Lu, Teacher He, Teacher Qiu, I like watching your shows very much. I can be considered your fans. Let's sign me with an autograph." Chen Lin took out his little black notebook, which he hadn't taken out for a long time.
The three teachers all laughed and happily signed their names on it. Before they could finish it, Chen Lin also signed the autographs, including Liu Changle, Chen Luyu, Hu Yihu and others present.
When Dou Wentao signed his autograph, Dou Wentao joked, "I am a little host, so I don't need to sign it."
"Anyone who has left a name for my book will become even more popular. If it is not, it will become more popular. I think you will become popular, and your new program will become more popular." Chen Lin said with a smile.
"Ha, then I have to sign this name. I will lend you Jiyan my show to become popular." Dou Wentao laughed and then signed his name.
While visiting, Chen Lin saw that Phoenix TV was producing a new conversation program, which is Dou Wentao's program "Changqiang Threesomes".
Everyone present smiled when they saw this scene. When it was the last Chen Luyu's turn to sign, she exaggeratedly covered her mouth and exclaimed: "Ah! Mr. Lin asked me to sign. Does this mean that I am going to be popular? Mr. Liu, have you seen that I am going to be popular? You shouldn't have made a show for me, please do it."
"Haha" Chen Luyu's proud look made everyone laugh when they heard this.
Chen Lin didn't laugh. He suddenly walked around Chen Luyu, looking up and down as he walked, and muttered the words: "Very good, very good"
"Mr. Lin, where are you acting?" Chen Luyu looked at Chen Lin with a puzzled look. Not only did she become curious.
Only Yu Yu smiled, she remembered that before coming to Hong Kong, Chen Lin showed her a program called "XX Appointment", an interview program with a female host surnamed. Chen Lin said she would cooperate with Phoenix TV on this program.
When Yu Yu saw Chen Lin's appearance, he knew that he had a crush on Chen Luyu. He had to say that her husband's eyes were very good, and she also thought that Luyu in front of her was very suitable.
Sure enough, Yu Yu guessed correctly. Chen Lin first laughed and then took out two "XX Appointment" planning documents from Yu Yu's bag under the curious eyes and gave them to Liu Changle and Chen Luyu.
"Mr. Lin, is this the interview program you mentioned on the phone?" Liu Changle asked first, and then picked up the planner in his hand and read it.
The other people next to them were also curious about what kind of show they watched around Chen Luyu.
What Chen Lin naturally came up with is "Lu Yu You Appointment". Of course, cooperation with Phoenix TV cannot be missing this most popular conversation program in his previous life. He believes that this powerful killer will win the favor of Liu Changle as soon as it comes out, which is also another major cooperation project he is planning to work with Phoenix TV in addition to its base camp.
"Ah! This show is so great, I can't believe it. Why do I think this show is tailor-made for me?" The killer weapon of "Lu Yu Youyou" first shocked Chen Luyu himself.
"A series of heartwarming true feelings, three thousand and six hundred seconds of sincere conversation, and thousands of earnest resounding, is a wonderful creativity. This show is popular." Dou Wentao couldn't help but recite the above words, and his appreciation was beyond words.
After watching it, Liu Changle looked at Chen Lin in surprise and sighed: "Mr. Lin, please forgive me for being frank. I knew you had the title of gold medal producer, but I actually disagree with you when I saw you. I was wondering if a young man is really so capable? Was it packaged? But since we talked to the TV station, and with the creativity of the program in my hands, I only have four words in my heart: Young people are terrifying."
Liu Changle's words gave Chen Lin a very high evaluation, and he was very humble when facing this big boss Chen Lin.
Next, Liu Changle saw that Chen Luyu was excited and couldn't wait to talk about the show, so the tour ended everywhere.
