Shunli Entertainment officially launched the slow variety show "Longing for Life".

This is the first variety show that the company is preparing to officially produce, so the entire company is very serious about this variety show.

But being serious, the candidates for the main MCs of this variety show are not so easy to find.

Compared to the previous life, the reason why this variety show became so popular is because the main MCs can chat easily with each other, are not restrained, have a very life-like feel, and have a down-to-earth feeling.

Therefore, although Qi Ji did not participate in the official filming and production of this variety show, Qi Ji seriously put forward his own suggestions for the selection of guests.

The first is naturally Yu Xiaomiao.

She has proven her innate sense of variety in countless variety shows over the past period of time.

In a variety show like "Longing for Life", it is completely okay to add someone like Yu Xiaomiao.

Who doesn't want to see a cute and pretty sister?

Then there are the two core MCs who compete against He Jiong and Huang Lei.

The "Longing for Life" team searched among entertainers across the country and finally narrowed down a group of more than ten people.

The first person the team invited was a well-known host from CCTV.

But after the other party heard that it was a variety show, they immediately refused.

The reason is that CCTV hosts cannot participate in these playful variety shows.

During this period, I contacted several hosts with many years of experience in field control, but they were not settled due to schedule and other reasons.

Finally, Zhao Chenggong, the ace variety show host of Chaoyang TV and a male host who has been active in the entertainment industry for nearly thirty years, was invited.

In "The Longing for Life", Zhao Chenggong plays the role of He Jiong in his previous life.

Then through Zhao Chenggong's connections, he found another candidate for "Teacher Huang" in his previous life.

Li Mi, an acting teacher from Chaoyang Film Academy.

This teacher also took one of Qi Ji's courses when he was a sophomore.

He can also be regarded as Qi Ji’s teacher.

Finally, the fourth one needs a male flow.

Originally, everyone in the company wanted Qi Ji to participate.

But Qi Ji refused.

Qi Ji is an actor who wants to pursue a little bit more in acting.

He knew he couldn't be a regular on this type of variety show.

It's easy to lose your sense of mystery this way.

So Shunli Entertainment contacted top-notch Lu Yitao.

…

Magic City, in a certain RV.

I just finished filming an idol drama.

Lu Yitao was leaning on the sofa and smoking a cigar. He looked at a person in charge of Shunli Entertainment and pointed to him the plan for "Longing for Life" on the PPT.

"Teacher Lu, this is probably the entire recording process. Teachers Zhao Chenggong and Teacher Li Mi are also among the best well-known artists."

Lu Yitao nodded and said: "Indeed, I respect both teachers very much. But with all due respect, in this variety show of yours, you look like a loser at first glance!"

Lu Yitao speaks out.

This made the person in charge quite embarrassed. He continued: "This is a plan personally made by our company's teacher Qi Ji."

It doesn't matter if he doesn't talk about Qi Ji.

When he mentioned Qi Ji, Lu Yitao immediately frowned slightly and said, "Can Qi Ji be a teacher now? In my mind, he is still the one on the stage of "Born Idol"

Looks jerky!"

Person in charge: "We are very confident about this variety show! I believe that with your participation, Mr. Lu, it will definitely become a hit!"

Lu Yitao said: "I understand what you mean. Currently, what your variety show needs is my traffic. What does the contract say?"

He knocked on the table and spoke seriously.

The person in charge said: "One million for one phase, this is our greatest sincerity."

According to the plan, a total of 12 episodes of "Longing for Life" will be recorded.

That is to say, the price offered by Shunli Entertainment to Lu Yitao is 12 million per season.

But Lu Yitao was obviously not very satisfied when he heard this number.

He immediately stopped talking, and it was his agent who spoke: "One million is too low. We, Mr. Lu, are at the top of the industry. It's not like we lions are talking loudly. You can go out and ask around. We participate in other satellite TV projects."

Variety shows all start with 2 million per issue. If you need to speculate on CP with female guests, you still need to pay. This is the going rate."

The manager raised his eyebrows slightly and continued: "And your variety show is now your company's own production, right? It's hard to say whether a broadcast platform will be found by then! The risk is still relatively high, 240

10,000, this is a relatively reasonable price!”

The person in charge, He Bei, touched his hair, which was not very lush, with a bitter look on his face.

There have long been rumors in the world that traffic prices are very high.

According to the team's estimation, "Longing for Life" indeed needs a traffic of Lu Yitao's level to drive various data of the program.

But this 2.4 million per installment is really more than the bottom line Meng Feichen gave He Bei.

So he said: "Sister, this price exceeds my authority. I have to ask the leader for instructions."

So He Bei walked out and called Meng Feichen,

Upon hearing the figure of 2.4 million, Meng Feichen directly told He Bei that he could go back.

After seeing He Bei off, the manager smiled and said to Lu Yitao: "Many entertainment companies want to do variety shows now. There are really a lot of variety shows that make money now."

Lu Yitao said: "Then it also depends on who the guests are? If it were me who went there, I would have gotten tens of millions more from their investment fair. I am really ignorant!"

Lu Yitao was very confident in what he said.

In the last variety show where he was a regular guest, advertisers increased the advertising fee by an additional 50 million yuan because they saw his presence.

"This is probably the first time for Shunli Entertainment to do a variety show. They don't understand the market. When they hit the market later, they will know the benefits of being expensive!" the manager said with a smile.

As the top-notch agent of Lu Yitao in the industry, the number of projects delivered to her every month is in double figures.

Her eyes can pick her apart.

In the end, she will take into consideration the overall strength of the platform and the popularity of other regular guests, so that she can select a top variety show suitable for Lu Yitao.

Rejecting a "Longing for Life" is just a common thing.

In the end, Shunli Entertainment settled for the next best thing and chose Xiaosheng, who collaborated with Qian Sansui in the TV series "The Legend of the Condor Heroes". He is a 26-year-old male artist who has a good reputation in the industry.

in this way.

The entire lineup of the four main MCs for the first season of "Longing for Life" is finally completed.

The recording location for the first season is set in a small fishing village outside Chaoyang City.

Before the official start of the first recording, the investment promotion meeting of Shunli Entertainment officially started.

This includes the advertising placement of "Longing for Life".

The broadcast platform of "Zhu Xian" and "The Legend of the Condor Heroes".

There is also the broadcast platform for the second season of "Singing to the World".

These are the four major projects that will lead to successful development in the next six months, and they all need to be finalized at the investment conference.

The first thing to come up is the "Zhu Xian" project.

This drama is loved by major TV stations because it is written and starred by Qi Ji.

After continuously increasing the price, Chaoyang TV Station and Beijing TV Station finally bought the first-round broadcast rights of this drama at a price of 2.7 million an episode each.

The webcast rights were exclusively obtained by Penguin Video for 3 million per episode.

This drama has a total of 30 episodes.

So far, the income from selling the drama is (270*2+300)*30=252 million.

But the cost of the entire drama is 220 million.

The main reason is that the special effects are too expensive.

Nearly 1,500 special effects shots cost a total of 140 million yuan.

But just by selling the first round of broadcast rights, the cost has been recovered and there is still profit.

Even if the drama "Zhu Xian" does not have good ratings, Shunli Entertainment has still made money.

Then came a round of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes".

This drama, due to the great success of "The Condor Heroes", was directly chosen by CCTV.

And it's going to be broadcast on CCTV's prime time slot.

But the price offered by CCTV was only 2 million per episode.

"The Legend of the Condor Heroes" has a total of 40 episodes.

It is also the first time for CCTV to pay 80 million for a TV series.

But there is no other way, the market value of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" is here.

In the end, the drama was successfully transferred to CCTV.

Although several other TV stations offered higher prices.

But all things considered, CCTV is, after all, the largest broadcasting platform in China.
