Chapter 248 Serial Drama
Jiashi currently does not have many self-produced original programs, and it also lacks its own flagship programs.
In addition to broadcasting RTHK programs, there are also some outsourced TV programs.
Funds and talents are naturally the important reasons that limit Jiashi's development.
Therefore, we can only focus all our creative resources on the production of TV series to ensure the audience's viewing habits.
A few days ago, I signed a contract with former TVB gold medal emcee Hu Zhangzhao to launch a "Hu Zhangzhao Club" program.
This can be regarded as a step forward for Jiashi in this type of program, and it also intends to increase the diversity of elements in the program.
However, this game interactive program that changes the basics without changing the medicine has so far failed to achieve the expected ratings and critical acclaim.
In addition to reporting on the work of each department, today's meeting focused on discussing the development and planning of new programs.
So today the program manager Sun Yubiao is under the greatest pressure, because the job she is responsible for is related to the life and death of the TV station.
The main work of other logistics departments is carried out around her program department.
Now that Jiashi's overall program ratings are sluggish, she must have an unshirkable responsibility.
A few days ago, there were rumors that she was resigning. I don’t know if someone is trying to put pressure on her, or if she really wants to abdicate.
Today, Sun Yubiao is still under pressure and talks about the plans and arrangements he is responsible for in an orderly manner.
As a working woman, facing this complex situation, her performance should not be bad.
Lin Nianxuan, as the producer of Jiashi, also sat at the top position under Sun Yu.
He should have the most say in the production of Jiashi TV series.
"Everyone knows that the most popular TV series now is "Big Husband". It can be seen that the audience loves this type of drama, so should we also consider making a fashion drama like this?" Lin Nianxuan suggested.
"For this kind of fashion drama, it would be okay if the indoor scenery is built, but it would be even more troublesome if it is combined with outdoor scenes." Zhang Zhaohong from the engineering department expressed his worries.
"Yes, if you are filming a fashion drama, the budget will definitely be huge, and you still need to consider it carefully." As a financial manager, Zhang Qian's face tightened, and she quickly echoed.
Everyone couldn't help but smile slightly when they saw her money-keeping look.
In fact, it's not surprising that she was nervous. She should know the best about Jiashi's financial situation.
Not to mention income, she is very concerned about expenses.
It’s not that she is opposed to filming fashion dramas, it’s just that the few fashion dramas that Jiashi has filmed cost a lot of money and produced little profit. From her point of view, this is very uneconomical.
If you are filming a costume drama, the advantages are obvious. You can build a set in a video studio or find an uninhabited hilltop in the wilderness, and sometimes you can shoot several episodes.
Moreover, many props and costumes can be reused, which has saved a lot of costs. She is responsible for the money bag, so she has the obligation to remind everyone.
"Manager Zhang, our new shareholders have injected capital, and we still have sufficient funds. Don't be too nervous about this. There is no need to save the money that should be spent." He Zuozhi said with a smile to appease Zhang Qian.
"We have filmed fashion dramas, and the ratings were barely okay, but we have never filmed police and gangster dramas. We don't have talent experience in this area, so I'm afraid that the audience may not like the dramas produced." Xu Shengqi from the Publicity Department frowned.
frown.
Regarding Xu Shengqi's point of view, many people secretly nodded in agreement. Only Lin Nianxuan seemed confident.
Xu Shengqi is right to throw cold water on this. Jiashi has always been good at making martial arts dramas, but not fashion dramas.
I have never tried a police drama before. Whether the film will be popular or not is hard to say.
The most important thing is that this subject is easy to cross the line. Without professional participation, the scale is a bit difficult to grasp.
You captured the image of Jingcha so well that the audience may not buy it.
But if you take photos that make Jingcha's image look bad, it will be Shi Lirong's turn to be dissatisfied with you.
Just like last year's episode of "Under the Lion Rock", there was a scene describing Jing Cha's collection of regulations.
As a result, after the program was released, the Commissioner of Police directly called the director of RTHK and requested that the scene be deleted.
Team Jing's situation is very difficult now, and your TV station is here to add fuel to the fire. Do you really think I'm a sick cat?
If Shi Lirong has any objections to you, then your application for filming on location in the future may not go so smoothly.
"Have you forgotten that we still have a trump card in hand?" Lin Nianxuan looked at the different expressions and finally focused on Lu Dongjie.
Everyone looked at Lu Dongjie, somewhat curious about Lin Nianxuan's thoughts.
But so far, Lu Dongjie has not said anything, and I don't know what he is thinking.
"Producer Lin, are you trying to catch my attention again?" Lu Dongjie looked at him with a slight smile.
"Lu Sheng, I really need to ask you to take action this time." Lin Nianxuan looked at Lu Dongjie with burning eyes.
"Producer Lin, if you have anything to say, you might as well say it directly." Lu Dongjie turned the ball pen in his hand.
"Lu Sheng, you have been on duty for so many years, you are well-informed, and you have a good relationship with Team Jing. How about you write a TV script about this kind of thing?" Lin Nianxuan suggested.
"Ha, by the way, it was so dark under the lamp, I almost forgot that you are here." He Zuozhi laughed happily.
As soon as they were reminded by Lin Nianxuan, they remembered Lu Dongjie's other identities and agreed with this idea.
Lin Nianxuan could tell from the last movie "Eye of the Sky" that Lu Dongjie had very unique ideas about the work of screenwriting, so he paid attention to Lu Dongjie.
Although the "Big Husband" of Li's TV is written and directed by McDonald, the screenwriter is Chen Xinjian. He is a senior service officer, and he is very clear about the inside story of some black and white things.
Lu Dongjie also has the same background, and he still has a good relationship with the police force, which is equivalent to half a spokesperson.
If Lu Dongjie is allowed to take the lead, he will gain sensational attention and avoid unnecessary troubles.
Now Jiashi really needs a hit drama to boost morale and regain its reputation.
The most popular show right now is Li TV's "Big Husband". The third episode has already exceeded one million viewers.
Then there was "Big Event" written and directed by Xu Xiaoming, which also achieved good ratings.
The highlight of TVB's Jade Theater is "Revenge", although the ratings are not as good as that of "The Man" of Li TV, but TVB has many dramas, such as "Folk Legend" series, "Modern Heroes", etc.
While TVB and LiTV are competing for power, Jiashi has only one comedy martial arts drama "The Little Fish Eats the Big Fish" to survive.
From the "small" and "big" in the title of this Jiashi drama, it is inevitable that there are other meanings.
Jiashi is now very weak. Although it is currently preparing for a martial arts drama "Yi Bo Yuntian" to take over the show, another annual highlight of the rival channel TVB "Family Change" is also being prepared for recording.
If Jiashi cannot come up with countermeasures, the coming days will be very difficult.
Originally, everyone thought that Jiashi would have a new look and new atmosphere after the new directors and new officers took office.
Therefore, everyone has great expectations and wants to do something big.
If it's still a matter of course and a small fuss, it will really break people's hearts.
"I can write this script." Facing the expectant eyes, Lu Dongjie pondered for a while and finally nodded.
When they heard Lu Dongjie agreed, many people breathed a sigh of relief and their faces became much more relaxed.
"If we all get together to make this kind of film, won't the audience be bored?" Sun Yubiao still couldn't help but remind him.
Nowadays, not only Li TV has "Big Man" and "Big Event", TVB also has a unit drama "CID" starring Huang Yuan-shin, Simon Yam and others.
If Jiashi also joins the competition on this theme, who can retain the audience in the end will have to rely on their own abilities.
"It doesn't matter. Since they all like to shoot detective films, we can change our style and find another way." Lu Dongjie seemed to have other ideas, nodded and smiled.
