Today, after Hu Shuo dropped off Zuo Zuo, he arrived at the company.
In the office, Zhang Ying was sitting on the sofa with a middle-aged man in his forties.
This middle-aged man's name is Li Bin. He is a senior variety show director and has his own team.
When he returned to Hujia Town on New Year's Day, Hu Shuo had the idea of doing a variety show. After returning to Jiangcheng, he asked Zhang Ying to find a suitable candidate. She selected Li Bin from many candidates.
"My idea is to make a slow-paced variety show. Nowadays, people's lives are very fast-paced, and it is difficult to calm down and experience life. What I want to do with this show is to allow the guests to return to their original pastoral life.
I have already decided on the filming location and regular guests of the show..."
Hu Shuo briefly explained his thoughts.
However, after listening to Hu Shuo's introduction, Li Bin frowned slightly: "Mr. Hu, with all due respect, the model you mentioned seems to be completely unable to capture the core of variety shows."
Li Bin speaks more directly and expresses his views straightforwardly.
"So what does Director Li think is the core of a variety show?" Hu Shuo admired Li Bin's straightforward attitude and asked in a leisurely manner.
"The core of variety shows is entertainment and pleasing the audience, and I can't find anything that pleases the audience from what Mr. Hu described," Li Bin said seriously.
Hearing this, Hu Shuo waved his hand gently: "Director Li and I have different views. I think variety shows are not to please the audience, but to give to the audience, to give the audience happiness, to give the audience sadness, to give
The audience expects and gives the audience something they don't have or lack in reality. If a program can achieve one of these things, it should be successful."
"The idea of "Longing for Life" I am talking about is to give the audience a leisurely and comfortable attitude towards life. Of course, this program may not be successful, but at least there is no similar variety show in China at present. Therefore, I want to
One try!”
Hu Shuo carefully elaborated his point of view.
"give??"
These two words made Li Bin fall into deep thought. He has been doing variety shows for more than ten years, and he has always thought about how to please the audience. After all, this is the original definition of variety shows.
However, when he suddenly heard Hu Shuo's point of view, Li Bin had a feeling of enlightenment. Please and give are completely different perspectives. After comparison, you will find that giving is actually simpler and easier than pleasing.
Make people accept it.
Just like if you offer to give someone a hundred dollars or if you please someone else and ask for a hundred dollars, the former is obviously easier and more pleasurable.
"Mr. Hu's point of view has enlightened my solid thoughts." Li Bin said solemnly: "Then, I am willing to give it a try, but to be honest, I have no experience in filming this type of variety show."
Hearing this, Hu Shuo waved his hand gently, and then said with a smile: "Currently there is no such type of program in China. In fact, there is no need for so-called experience. We can definitely be a pioneer."
"good!"
"I will try my best to make this show a good one!"
Li Bin immediately expressed his stance.
"Well, then Director Li is welcome to join Chuangshi Entertainment!"
Hu Shuo stood up and shook hands with Li Bin.
"With a boss like Mr. Hu, Chuangshi Entertainment has a promising future!"
Li Bin said it sincerely, and it was obvious that his words came from the heart.
Next, Hu Shuo talked with Li Bin about the details of the program. The name of the program still used its original name "Longing for Life". However, since the regular guests in the first season were the four major stars of "Love Apartment"
Starring, so this season's program is also called "Longing for Life - Love Apartment".
After the "Yearing" project was officially established, Li Bin began to promote follow-up work.
In the office, only Hu Shuo and Zhang Ying were left.
"Sister Ying, Zhang Yufeng, the general director of the Spring Festival Gala, has sent me an invitation, hoping that I can serve as the director of the Spring Festival Gala's song program. What do you think of this?"
Hu Shuo has not yet decided how to join the Spring Festival Gala. Today, he just happened to ask Zhang Ying for his opinion. After all, the other party has rich experience.
"oh?"
"I just said I wanted you to perform before, but why did you become the director of a song program again?" Zhang Ying was a little surprised. The Spring Festival Gala program team contacted her a few days ago and said that they invited Hu Shuo to the Spring Festival Gala, but Hu Shuo
In order to spend more time with my wife, I didn't plan to take any acting job, so I refused immediately.
"Zhang Yufeng found me through personal relationships." Hu Shuo explained.
"Then it seems that he values Mr. Hu very much."
Zhang Ying said with a happy face: "From the perspective of business interests, it will certainly be very beneficial to our company for Mr. Hu to serve as the director of the Spring Festival Gala song program. Once Mr. Hu becomes the director of the song program, it will
The company's artists can be inserted into the Spring Festival Gala's performance lineup, which is a good opportunity to increase visibility and increase popularity."
"Does the song director have this power?"
Hu Shuo looked at the situation of the Spring Festival Gala with a blank eye. He understood that the director should only coordinate and arrange the songs. But from what Zhang Ying meant, he actually had the power to transfer personnel? If that is the case, go and do this.
Being a director has a lot of benefits. Currently, Chuangshi Entertainment’s artists are still lacking in popularity and influence, and the Spring Festival Gala is a stage for making stars. Many stars became popular because they appeared on the Spring Festival Gala. After all, this is the annual ratings.
Top program.
"At least someone has the say in personnel mobilization. It shouldn't be difficult to install a few people. However, Mr. Hu can also negotiate terms with Zhang Yufeng. After all, he hired you." Zhang Ying said with a smile: "If Mr. Hu
It would be a good thing to be able to bring several artists from the company to the Spring Festival Gala together!"
"Well, that makes sense!"
Hu Shuo nodded in agreement. The two movies "Strategy of the Ex" and "Heart Blossoms" produced by the company before and after the Spring Festival will be released soon. The Spring Festival Gala will be used as a stage to make the stars of the two movies a wave of popularity.
Also a good choice.
After making up his mind, Hu Shuo dialed Zhang Yufeng's phone number.
"Director Zhang, I have seriously considered it. I can take on the task of directing and producing the Spring Festival Gala song program. However, I have a small request."
After the call was connected, Hu Shuo said.
"If you have any requests, feel free to ask for them. As long as they are within my ability, they will be met." Zhang Yufeng immediately expressed his stance.
"Actually, it's not a big deal. I just hope that if I serve as the director of a song program, I can have the power to appoint and remove personnel." Hu Shuo said.
"That's it?"
"no problem!!"
Zhang Yufeng agreed directly without hesitation.
"However, nephew Xiaoshuo, now there is a pending list of singers for song programs. You can't replace all the singers on this list..."
Zhang Yufeng added another sentence.
"Don't worry, that won't happen."
Hu Shuo just wanted to bring a few artists from his company to the Spring Festival Gala stage, and he didn't want to arrange all of his own people.
"Then it's settled!"
Although he only heard his voice, Hu Shuo could tell that Zhang Yufeng must be very excited. It seems that he really hopes that he can serve as the chief producer of a song program.
In fact, Hu Shuo is not clear about the current situation of the Spring Festival Gala. As people's entertainment methods become more and more diversified, the status of the Spring Festival Gala is no longer what it used to be, and the ratings have been declining for several consecutive years. In this situation
Under the general environment, the Spring Festival Gala program team is naturally racking its brains to increase the ratings of the Spring Festival Gala.
The "miracle of ratings" of Jiangcheng TV's New Year's Eve Gala gave the Spring Festival Gala program team a glimmer of hope for the Spring Festival Gala's revival. So, this key figure is Hu Shuo.
Why are the ratings of Jiangcheng TV’s New Year’s Eve Party so high?
The lineup is only one aspect, the more important thing is the high-quality content. Many of the songs at the party were written by Hu Shuo, and all of Hu Shuo's songs are masterpieces.
The song is good, of course the audience likes to watch it, but of course they are not willing to change the channel.
Therefore, after the New Year's Eve party, the Spring Festival Gala program team tried to invite Hu Shuo. In their view, Hu Shuo was the "good medicine" to revive the Spring Festival Gala. However, Hu Shuo refused the previous invitation. Later, Zhang Yufeng approved Huang Yu's invitation.
Hu Shuo found by Rong.
Now Hu Shuo has agreed to serve as the chief producer of the Spring Festival Gala's song program, which means that the quality of the Spring Festival Gala's song program is guaranteed. Zhang Yufeng, as the chief director, is of course very happy.
"Director Zhang, please send me a preliminary list of singers for the song program later, and I will study it," Hu Shuo said before hanging up the phone.
"Okay, no problem." Zhang Yufeng responded and hung up the phone.
Soon Hu Shuo received a list of singers from Zhang Yufeng.
However, what surprised Hu Shuo was that he found several familiar names on the list, including Jiang Kai, Liang Ruixue, and Nice Boy.
In addition to these three names that impressed him at Jiangcheng Satellite TV's New Year's Eve party, there is also the king-level singer Guo Shaoyu under Wenyu Entertainment.
In this list, there are four groups of singers from Wenyu Entertainment alone, and the whole discovery is an "unexpected gain" for Hu Shuo!
