Chapter 572 The Four Mentors and the Controversy on the Internet
Wenwen Township is the Tomb of Heroes.
Sun Quan is not a hero, but he still knows this famous saying. He still has his sanity and is determined to make progress in the future. He does not want to live happily at home at such a young age.
Therefore, after staying at home for more than a month, he received a call from Xue Zihan one morning. He heard that the preliminary preparations for "The Birth of an Actor" had been completed and the recording of the show was about to begin. The next day, he took his luggage and Xu Qin there
Arrived in Hangzhou.
The difference from the previous trips to Hangzhou was that this time, Xu Qin, who was driving the car, finally looked like a boss and sat in the back seat to rest.
Because Xu Qin got her driver's license.
As early as during the recording of "The Voice of China", when he drove Xu Qin back and forth between Hangzhou and M City, he asked Xu Qin if she wanted to learn to drive? If she wanted to learn, Tuition Studio would help her
out, but the price is that after she gets her driver's license, she will drive in the future.
At that time, Xu Qin agreed after a slight hesitation.
After all, the temptation of the studio to help her pay for her tuition was quite strong, and she couldn't resist the temptation.
It had been more than two months since she passed her driver's license test. During that month when Sun Quan was resting at home, he gave Xu Qin his family's Jetta to practice on.
This trip to Hangzhou was her first time driving on the highway.
Sun Quan sat in the car and gave her a few words of advice from time to time, asking her to drive as slowly as possible in the lane next to her, which was quite stable.
In fact, driving on the highway is easier than driving in the city, because the road conditions are much better than in the city, and there are not so many pedestrians, bicycles, battery scooters, etc. on the highway.
As long as drivers overcome their fear of high-speed vehicles and keep driving in a straight line most of the time, it is actually not as dangerous as some people think.
No, although Xu Qin was a little nervous along the way, she was still steady and drove the car to Hangzhou smoothly.
After getting off the expressway and almost entering Hangzhou City, Sun Quan replaced her.
…
The next day after returning to Hangzhou, Sun Quan and Xu Qin came to Blueberry Station again and came to a large studio that had been recently renovated.
"The Birth of an Actor" will start recording today.
This program is the second program he has collaborated with Blueberry Channel. Recently, during the preparation period, the promotion of this new program on the Internet has been going on.
Although Sun Quan has been at home for more than a month in the past month, he is still aware of some of the current situations of this show.
He, Xue Zihan, Wang Zheng, and Tao Yujuan have created a QQ group. Recently, they have been chatting about this program in this group every night.
This QQ group is still a secret because its name is Salted Fish Film and Television Studio.
This studio has not been established yet, but the QQ group has been established first.
Recently, while communicating with Xue Zihan and others in the group, Sun Quan heard that all the advertisements for this new program have been sold.
It sold much better than the advertisements during the preparation period for "The Voice of China".
This is normal. After all, the ratings of "The Voice of China" are so high and the reputation is also very good. With that program in front, this time Blueberry Channel announced a new program created by the original production team of "The Voice of China".
Sun Quan as the planner, assistant director, Xue Zihan as the producer, chief director, Wang Zheng as the assistant director...etc. have not changed.
Maybe in the film and television industry, stars have stronger appeal, and only top directors can rival stars in their appeal, but in the variety show industry, advertisers generally recognize good production teams more.
If the ratings and reputation of the previous "Voice of China" were not so good, this new program and advertising should not be so easy to sell.
The key is that the ratings and reputation of "The Voice of China" are exceptionally good. Before the first season of the program was completed, it had already become Blueberry Channel's flagship variety show.
With such successful examples in the past, it is understandable that "The Birth of an Actor" has been so popular among advertisers.
As far as Sun Quan knows, the sponsor of "The Birth of an Actor" this time is still Wang Laoji, and it is said that the naming fee this time is as high as 70 million.
In addition, some other advertisements were also sold at good prices.
In this regard, Sun Quan admired Wang Laoji's courage.
Now in 2010, you dare to use so much advertising money to sponsor a variety show.
Of course, this is a good thing for him, Sun Quan, because he can get 8% of the advertising fee this time.
Moreover, in this new program, his 10-second commercial for 99 Yellow Braised Chicken will still be retained, continuing to help his 99 Yellow Braised Chicken become famous all over the world and continue to expand rapidly.
Unless the ratings and reputation of this program after it is broadcast are not good.
Although that possibility exists, he is not very worried. In order to ensure the ratings of this variety show as much as possible, when writing the planning proposal, he tried his best to draw on the original time and space's "The Birth of an Actor" and "Actors Please Take Their Place" and other
programme.
For example, when it came to selecting mentors and guests, he included Zhang Ziyi and Song Dan in his planning plan.
The selection of these two instructors should ensure the topicality of this program.
In the original "The Birth of an Actor", he remembered that many topics were caused by these two mentors. He was attracted to the show when he watched it because of the topics of these two mentors.
In addition to these two mentors, he also wrote Liu Ye and Xu Zheng in the planning project.
But this time during the preparation of the program, Blueberry Channel was not able to invite all four mentors.
Zhang Ziyi and Song Dan were invited, but Liu Ye and Xu Zheng were not.
After seeking his advice, two other mentors were invited.
One is Zhang Tieling and the other is Wang Baobao.
After these four celebrities signed formal contracts with Blueberry Channel, Blueberry Channel published the names of these four mentors on the official website of Blueberry Channel.
Not to mention, the announcement of the list of these four mentors really caused a heated discussion on the Internet.
Especially after Zhang Ziyi's list was announced, the news became a hot search topic on the Internet.
Maybe it’s because Zhang Ziyi’s reputation and status among actresses are high enough, but there are so many topics?
Anyway, there is a lot of discussion on the Internet that she will serve as a mentor in Blueberry Channel's new program.
Some people think that her acting skills are enough for this show and her status is enough.
But some people who don't like him say that since she is the mentor of this show, they will definitely not watch this show.
When Song Dan's list was announced, it also aroused a lot of discussion.
It is also full of controversy.
Some people like her performance and the classic sketches she performed with Uncle Motoyama, but some people don't.
Zhang Tieling's name also attracted a lot of criticism.
Only when Baby Wang's name was announced, there was slightly less criticism.
More people think that Wang Baobao's qualifications are not enough, because Wang Baobao's current masterpieces are still too few. Sha Gen in "A World Without Thieves"? Xu Sanduo in "Soldier Assault"?
really!
Compared with Zhang Ziyi, Song Dan and others who are already famous all over the world, Wang Baobao currently has fewer works to produce, even though he is very popular with the audience.
In addition, he has only been in the industry for a short time and is still very young. Compared with the previous three mentors, his qualifications are indeed a bit younger.
Therefore, it is not surprising that his qualifications to serve as a mentor for this performance program are questioned on the Internet.
By the way, after seeing the reactions of netizens after the names of these four mentors were announced, Xue Zihan also expressed concern when he had a phone call with Sun Quan one night.
Are you worried that you have chosen the wrong four mentors?
Not only was she worried, she also told Sun Quan on the phone that the leaders of the station were also worried about the reaction of netizens, fearing that after the program was produced, it would be boycotted by the majority of the audience.
In that case, it will ruin your reputation.
The ratings will definitely not rise.
Although this program has already made a lot of advertising money before it even starts recording, which TV station just wants to get one vote and then leave?
yes!
Maybe even though your program has poor ratings and reputation, it still makes a lot of money from advertising fees. Your TV station doesn't lose money, it just loses money to the advertisers who spent real money.
But what about next time?
You caused big losses to the advertisers who believed in your TV station this time. Will those advertisers believe in you that much next time?
Even if we are still willing to cooperate with your TV station, what about the price? Will advertisers still give you sky-high advertising fees for your TV station’s new programs?
Advertisers have a lot of money, but that doesn't mean they are stupid.
They suffered a loss this time, and you will have to spit it out next time.
…
Regarding Xue Zihan's worries, Sun Quan comforted her on the phone.
She analyzed the various benefits that are controversial among netizens.
For example: before the recording of this program has even started, related news has already been on the Internet several times. This is a real advertising effect!
For example: Variety shows are different from movies or TV series. The audience watching your variety show mainly depends on whether your variety show is wonderful overall. It is unlikely that they will never watch a variety show just because of one or two guests they don't like.
Another example: the viewers who watch TV variety shows are generally not people who go online. People who often go online have too many things to kill time online. The main people who actually watch variety shows are housewives, the elderly, and children.
He didn't know how effective his comfort and analysis were, and whether Xue Zihan believed it.
Anyway, he said it, and she listened. The four instructors had already signed contracts with Blueberry Channel. It was definitely too late to regret it. No matter what the opinions on the Internet were like, this program could only continue.
It doesn’t matter whether it’s riding a tiger and it’s hard to get off, or it doesn’t matter if it’s a bow without an arrow to turn back, that’s it anyway!
…
Today, this program will be officially recorded.
Sun Quan and Xu Qin arrived at the studio hall and found that the audience had not yet entered the venue, and the staff were still busy preparing some preparations before recording.
Assistant director Wang Zheng was directing and dispatching the scene, but Xue Zihan and Tao Yujuan were nowhere to be seen.
He casually grabbed a staff member who was passing by him and asked curiously: "Where is Director Xue?"
The staff member recognized him and quickly showed a warm smile and replied: "It's in the dressing room! He should be meeting some instructors!"
