After Mr. Yanti arrived, the topic of the three people quickly settled on Cheng Yu's show.
Cheng Yu and Xiao Zhang were able to talk about topics unrelated to the project because their identities were equal enough, but the addition of Mr. Dai Yanti broke this balance.
Our experiences and identities are so different from each other, and we didn’t know each other at all before. Apart from the project, we really couldn’t find much to talk about.
Of course, although Xiaozhang had criticized Mr. Dai Yanti on the Internet before, he must have kept silent about it this time, and Mr. Dai Yanti didn't mind at all, as if that incident had never happened.
At around five o'clock, Xiao Zhang made a call to a familiar Japanese restaurant nearby and asked them to send a chef over with ingredients.
Mr. Dai Yantai was stunned and said with a smile: "Are you really eating Japanese food here?"
After that, he turned his attention to Cheng Yu.
"This is a vegetarian restaurant. Isn't it a good idea for us to eat Japanese food openly?"
Cheng Yu smiled and said, "I had the same question just now, but he said it didn't matter."
Xiao Zhang covered the phone with one hand and explained quickly: "Originally, I wanted to eat in this pavilion. The snowy night has a unique flavor, but after all, we are doing business with the door open, in a vegetarian restaurant, in front of the guests.
Killing fish and frying meat is not very good. When the chef arrives in a while, we can just go into the private room. Let the Japanese chef operate in the private room. I have a movable stove. By the way, Cheng Yu, what do you want to eat?
They asked me what ingredients I wanted to bring."
Cheng Yu casually reported a few things, Xiao Zhang conveyed them with a smile, then continued to cover the phone and said: "You are basically just sashimi, it saves trouble."
Cheng Yu nodded and said, "I don't have much interest in most Japanese dishes. I mainly like to eat a few bites of pure natural ingredients."
Xiao Zhang nodded, talked about a few more things, asked about the salted rice noodles, and asked for a sukiyaki pot.
After hanging up the phone, Xiao Zhang said: "I just boasted to Cheng Yu that we can have hot pot here, but there are only three of us today, so it would be meaningless to make hot pot. Let's make a compromise and make a sukiyaki pot.
Cheng Yu, please don’t pick on me."
Cheng Yu smiled and waved his hands and said, "No, no, no."
Not long after, the chef arrived, and the manager came over and told Xiao Zhang that he had invited the chef into the private room, and the operation was probably started by now.
The three of them moved and entered the private room.
"The red wine in the store is pretty good, so I won't let anyone go back and get it alone. In addition, I asked the chef to bring a bottle of 14th generation. If it's not enough, I'll ask them to give it away later."
Cheng Yu looked at the 1,800 ml bottle of sake that the chef had already placed on the table, and said with a smile: "That's enough, that's enough. We still have to talk about things, and we're not drinking too much."
Japanese food is served relatively quickly, especially sashimi. The chef worked quickly and quickly put small plates and small plates of various sashimi on the table.
Xiao Zhang didn't seem to like drinking sake very much, so he drank red wine by himself, while Mr. Dai Yantai drank sake with Cheng Yu.
The topic of the three people returned to the show.
In fact, we have already talked about a lot before, but it was mainly based on the promotion after the recording of the program, the final broadcast platform, etc. What we talked about during the meeting was the content of the program.
Mr. Dai Yantai has neither much interest nor resistance to the content of this kind of program that makes wealthy people stingy.
He said: "Mr. Cheng said that for the six guests, the script should be designed according to each person's personality. I think this is particularly good.
After all, our show is said to have six guests, but in fact the show time that requires the six of us to appear together is very small.
Most of the time, everyone can take care of their own thing. In this way, in order to avoid duplication of plots among the six guests, it would be perfect to tailor a script for each person.
But in this way, the workload of the program producers will be much greater.
Mr. Cheng, you just said you planned to broadcast it after the year?
Are you a little anxious?"
"This show doesn't have too many tricks, and the post-production is simple. It's mainly about showing the contrast to the audience.
And because of your status, it is best not to do too much publicity before the program is broadcast, otherwise, a lot of manpower and material resources will be wasted to ensure your safety during the recording.
It sounds like everyone is famous all over the world, but after all, they are not celebrities who rely on their reputation. When walking on the street, the chance of being recognized is not particularly high.
But the premise is to keep a low profile. If there is too much publicity in the early stages of recording, there will be a lot of trouble if the record is not kept intact.
Since we have to keep a low profile, I don't think it's necessary to prolong the battle too long. Everyone is quite busy.
Record as soon as possible and try to finish two to three episodes within two or three days.
Then we do post-production and it’s broadcast directly.
Two or three episodes of the program are broadcast, and the cycle is actually more than half a month. Then we will try our best to avoid delaying everyone's usual work, and conduct one or at most two centralized recordings.
I personally feel that for this kind of show, six episodes as the total length of the first season is actually enough."
Xiao Zhang nodded slowly and said: "Cheng Yu is right, Lao Mu didn't want to participate in this program at noon, but I forced him to join later.
But is six episodes too short? After all, mainstream variety shows now have ten to twelve episodes.
For the sixth issue, it will not be easy to talk to TV stations or online broadcast platforms.
Moreover, I just said everything in a big way, saying that there would be no big problem in contacting the four major TV stations.
Just give me a problem here.
No matter how much the four major TV stations give me face, it is impossible for them to give me the schedule I want half a month from now. The broadcast schedule of their programs was probably decided half a year or even a year ago.
This sudden insertion..."
Cheng Yu said with a smile: "The four major TV stations don't have good programs on Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Based on your reputation and the quality of the program itself, if there are too many episodes, they will hesitate.
For the sixth phase, the battle front is relatively short, and it only takes a little more than a month in total, so we should be able to arrange it."
"Why are you in such a hurry? None of us said we didn't have time, just take your time." Xiao Zhang was puzzled.
Cheng Yuxin said, I have a time limit for system tasks here. I was only given a total of forty days. Two or three days have passed now. How can I have so much time to wait?
The key is that this task is subject to assessment. You must wait until the show is broadcast to see the reactions of the audience, that is, these guests, to confirm whether the task has been completed. If it is delayed any longer, it will take more than forty days.
It's over.
If this is broadcast for one episode, the audience's feedback has already met the review requirements of the system's task. What if the system has to look at the effect of at least two or three episodes? Cheng Yu still has to be blinded?
As for the fact that the entire program will only meet the review results after it is broadcast, Cheng Yu has never thought about this. After all, the mission lasts only more than forty days. If you produce twelve episodes, one episode a week, even if the first episode is broadcast this weekend
It was too late to finish the broadcast in more than forty days.
He was also forced to have no choice but to produce the first issue within half a month, at least to test the system's feedback first.
"Mr. Mu didn't want to record it in the first place, and I can see that Mr. Dai is just trying to save face for both of us. He himself is not particularly interested in this program..."
When Xiao Zhang heard this, he was immediately happy and angry.
He pointed to his nose and said, "I am the only one who is really interested in this program, right?"
Cheng Yu laughed and said: "The investment is not big, and there is basically no difficulty in post-production. It mainly depends on whether the recording goes smoothly. So, if you can trouble me, please help me contact the broadcast platform. After we finish talking tonight, I will let the production
Fang will publish the script for the first episode within three days, and we will record it as soon as possible. In short, I personally hope that the program will be broadcast when the Spring Festival holiday is over. At least we can catch up with the Spring Festival, right?"
Xiao Zhang shrugged and said: "You are the biggest investor, you have the final say. I just feel that I am in a bit of a hurry and I am worried that the recording will be difficult to complete."
Mr. Dai Yanti said quickly: "Actually, I have an idea.
In the first episode of the program, the six of us don’t need to meet each other. After all, the recording content is that everyone acts separately, which is different from other programs.
At that time, please ask the producers to travel to several cities so that whoever is free can record the program. This is also in line with what Mr. Cheng said, which is to focus on recording two or three episodes of the program in two or three days.
Those two ladies are in Bao'an, so let Bao'an record them.
Mr. Cheng was in Wudong, so he was recorded in Wudong.
The three of us are in the imperial capital, so we will record it in the imperial capital.
There was actually no need to communicate between us in the beginning.
When preparing for the second recording, we will consider gathering six people in the same city for a new round of survival challenges, but everyone still does not need to appear together and are scattered in different corners of the city.
In terms of program settings, we emphasize that everyone does not know the existence of others.
The cost of the first round of survival challenge is slightly higher, and it is in a city that everyone is familiar with. The difficulty of this challenge will obviously be much lower, after all, everyone always knows more about the city they live in.
For the second round of challenges, we will set up a city that everyone is not familiar with, and the cost will be lower. The reason is that everyone has experience in survival challenges and can start to increase the difficulty.
Then when the second round of challenge is halfway through, everyone’s results will be announced.
One is the result of the first round of challenge, and the other is the ranking of the current result.
In this way, from the audience's perspective, we finally know that we are not alone in this show.
Therefore, the person with the best grades will become the backbone of everyone. We can ask for help in various forms to let people with good grades help those with poor grades complete the challenges.
Even, because everyone knows that they are in the same city, everyone can gather in one place.
In fact, the more people there are, the easier it is to save costs."
Cheng Yu and Xiao Zhang heard this, looked at each other, and then nodded in unison.
"This is a really good idea. It also solves the problem of insufficient time for everyone as the Spring Festival approaches."
Cheng Yu also nodded and said, "This is really a good idea. Mr. Dai has really put a lot of thought into it."
Dai Yantai smiled and said: "It's just a sudden idea, not a lot of effort. I just think that setting up the program process like this can really solve a lot of small problems that may occur. After all, recording programs like this gives you a lot of freedom."
Even better, when small situations arise, it will be easier to solve them.”
Cheng Yu nodded frequently and said, "Yes, and there is a progression between different rounds of challenges, which makes the program more interesting.
In the beginning, it was just about showing everyone's specialties. Of course, it is also possible that some people just don't have the specialties and can't survive. But after we gather together in the second round, we can each show our strengths and learn from each other's strengths. In the third round, the program team reduced funding again, that is,
It's more reasonable.
In this way, two programs have one round and three rounds are over, and the overall controllability will be much better."
Xiao Zhang also nodded and said: "I was worried that the six of us would record separately, because the styles and methods are completely different. One episode lasts for several hours, but each person only has ten minutes. This will make the camera of each of us difficult."
It's too trivial, and the story's clues aren't strong enough.
But with the process proposed by Lao Dai, our first and second episodes do not require six people to appear at the same time, only three people in one episode.
The entire program will be explained thoroughly in two issues.
In the first episode of the second round, there are four people, and the end shows that they are beginning to connect with each other.
In the second episode, we will start with two singles, and then they will be added to the team in the middle of the program. In the second half of the program, everyone will work together.
For the two phases of the third round, we might as well contact each other from the beginning and finish it in a team battle."
When Cheng Yu heard this, he suddenly wailed in his heart.
First of all, we must admit that the setting of Xiaozhang will make the program more compact and more watchable.
But in this case, if the system only needs all six people to appear and get the approval of the fans, it can announce the end of the mission. Then Cheng Yu will have to wait until the second episode of the program is broadcast before he can end this time.
Task.
In vain, the completion time was extended by a week.
Of course, this also has advantages.
After all, what Xiao Zhang said is right. One episode of the program only lasts for several hours, and each person's appearance for more than ten minutes is actually detrimental to the overall effect of the program.
This will make it more difficult to gain recognition from fans.
But with only three people, the show is more watchable, and fans may have approved of it after watching it.
This will be more conducive to Cheng Yu's review after the mission is completed.
At the same time, if the first episode is effective, the expectations for the three new guests in the second episode will be high, and it will be easier to achieve fan recognition.
With this kind of setting, Cheng Yu can completely put Xiao Zhang and Mr. Carpenter, two people whose number of real fans is significantly higher by an order of magnitude, in order to increase the audience's expectations for the show and make it easier to complete their approval.
.
In fact, Mr. Dai Yanti also has a lot of fans, almost as many as Xiao Zhang.
However, Cheng Yu had done some research and he knew that a large number of Mr. Daiyanti’s fans were actually zombie fans and dead fans, which were, to put it bluntly, fans created by management.
This can be easily seen by comparing the number of forwarded comments on his Weibo with the two above.
According to the data, Cheng Yu estimates that at least 80% of Mr. Yantai’s Weibo fans are non-existent fans.
Of course, even so, his number of fans is much higher than that of Cheng Yu, Xu Wanting, and Qin Manyuan.
In the first issue, I, the personality beauty Qin Manyuan, and the topical character Mr. Salt Body, although the traffic is not large, the preview will highlight the guests in the second issue.
In the second issue, the combination of Legal Luoli, Mr. Carpenter and Xiao Zhang definitely exploded the topic.
Even if the first episode's ratings are average, due to the additional effects of the trailer, the first episode may become a direct hit.
After all, based on Xiaozhang's 40 million fans, even if only half are real fans, Cheng Yu still needs more than 2 million fans to watch this show, and all viewers need to agree.
This difficulty is actually not small.
Normally, it is estimated that if one-tenth of Xiao Zhang's real fans are to agree, this program would have to have at least tens of millions of clicks per episode, and a viewing rate of at least tens of millions.
For those popular programs, this number may not seem like a lot, but in fact, Cheng Yu knows very well how difficult it is to accomplish.
After all, the number of retweets and comments on Xiaozhang’s most popular Weibo is only a few hundred thousand.
The silent majority, this is the biggest problem.
Therefore, we can only hope that this damn mission only requires fans to agree with it in their hearts, rather than forcing them to express their opinions on official channels such as WeChat.
If he really had to express his position, Cheng Yu might not be able to complete this mission at all.
…………
After sorting out what the two said and what the three discussed, Cheng Yu recorded it into an audio clip and sent it to Xu Wanting.
That is to say, after staying for a while to listen to the audio completely, Xu Wanting quickly sent a reply.
"This is a good idea. It at least helps us solve the structural problem of how to continue the show."
Just as he was about to reply, Tan Wulian also sent a WeChat message.
He said that Xu Wanting was almost overjoyed after listening to the audio message sent by Cheng Yu, because they have been worrying about the structure of the show for the past two days. How to set up six parallel and intersecting story lines is the most important part of the script of this show.
Difficult problem to solve.
Cheng Yu looked at this WeChat message, was slightly startled, and asked: "Are you two still together so late at night?"
The time actually pointed to nearly nine o'clock in the evening.
Tan Wulian's message was quickly replied to, but this time it was an audio message.
Cheng Yu clicked on it and found that it was Xu Wanting talking.
"Why, Mr. Cheng, when I work for you, do you still limit the time for employees to communicate?"
Cheng Yu hesitated and sent a text message to Xu Wanting's WeChat.
"Wouldn't it be possible for you two to already...?"
Xu Wanting replied almost instantly. She was a shy little yellow face.
Cheng Yuxin said, "I'll do it, do you want it to be so fast?"
The phone rang again and it was news from Tan Wulian.
"Mr. Cheng, don't listen to Mr. Xu, she is teasing you."
Cheng Yu shook his head helplessly, and replied with a voice message with a smile: "I'll give you a task. I'll take this little witch into custody tonight. If you can't do it, resign on your own initiative."
After that, he threw the phone aside.
He knew that Tan Wulian would not reply again. Although this guy was slightly older than Cheng Yu, he was actually very shy.
Although Xu Wanting has a bolder style, she would definitely be embarrassed to reply if Cheng Yu spoke to such an extent.
After all, she was a girl. No matter how much she felt attached to Tan Wulian, she would never be able to have such an in-depth conversation with another man.
As for whether Tan Wulian can use this subtle emotion to really win over Xu Wanting, Cheng Yu really can't help.
Cheng Yu had done his best to poke through the window paper that needed to be broken.
And the last little gap must be taken by Tan Wulian himself.
Men, after all, have to take the initiative.
…………
The three of them chatted for a while and finished the bottle of Fourteenth Generation. Cheng Yu looked at the time and guessed that he still had time, so he simply booked a high-speed train that would leave in an hour.
Anyway, the hotel had already checked out, so Cheng Yu felt there was no need to delay any longer and went back directly.
Rejecting the two people's kindness, Cheng Yu took a taxi and left.
