Cao Zechu has been having a hard time these days. Last Friday, another movie invested by Wenyu Group was released. It is a medium-sized film with a total investment of 80 million. The director is a first-line director, and the male and female protagonists are also first-rate.
The cast and lineup are good.
However, its reputation is average, and because Wanli Cinemas does not schedule any films, its nationwide film schedule is naturally not as good as its competitors that were released at the same time. Although Wenyu Group has its own theater chain, it can schedule films in
However, this resource tilt is only to a certain extent, and it is impossible to make up for the lack of film arrangement on a platform like Wanli Cinema Line.
Therefore, due to the double blow of word-of-mouth and film schedule, their new film's box office was not ideal. On the day of its release, it only ranked fourth among all films in theaters. After one weekend, the total box office barely exceeded 100 million. Such
For a movie with an investment of 80 million, it naturally lost money.
In the battle with Wanli Group, Wenyu Group has been suppressed, and its market value has shrunk significantly. The new film's box office hit the market again, and Wenyu Group's market value has dropped a lot.
Now that the New Year is approaching, Cao Zechu and the entire Wenyu Group can only place their hopes on the upcoming Spring Festival. After all, during the Spring Festival, Wenyu Group is in full bloom, with movies, TV series, Spring Festival Gala, and variety shows all available.
figure.
The first one to bear the brunt is naturally the Spring Festival Gala on New Year's Eve. Although there is a high probability that singers such as Guo Shaoyu and Jiang Kai will be kicked out of the Spring Festival Gala, the sketch that Cao Jin, He Wei, Lin Qianyu, and Liu Ze co-starred in was
Entering the fourth review stage, there is a high probability that it will be able to appear on the Spring Festival Gala, which also gives Wenyu Entertainment a glimmer of hope.
"Mr. Cao..."
Zhong Ting walked into the office holding a document.
"This is the termination agreement between us and Jiangcheng TV. Please take a look." Zhong Ting put the document in her hand in front of Cao Zechu.
This termination agreement is related to the termination of cooperation in variety shows. Prior to this, two variety shows produced by Wenyu Entertainment signed a one-year cooperation agreement with Jiangcheng Satellite TV. Since Jiangcheng Satellite TV took a stand on the New Year's Eve party,
On Hu Shuo's side, Wenyu Entertainment has completely terminated its cooperation with Jiangcheng TV, including two variety shows.
"Um."
Cao Zechu nodded slightly and took a look at the agreement. This time it was considered a breach of contract, so they had to pay some liquidated damages. However, since the two variety shows had finished broadcasting this season, they just said that they would not be broadcast on Jiangcheng Satellite TV starting from the next season, and
It is not a particularly serious breach of contract and the amount of compensation is not large.
Wenyu Entertainment's insistence on not cooperating with Jiangcheng TV can be regarded as expressing its attitude.
"Mr. Cao, there is news from the Spring Festival Gala just now, and Yan Shi was kicked out of the song program group based on nonsense."
When Cao Zechu read the contract termination agreement, Zhong Ting whispered.
"Um?"
"Hu Shuo directly kicked Yan Shi out of the song program group??"
Cao Zechu raised his head and glanced at Zhong Ting: "What's the reason?"
"Yan Shi spoke for us at an internal meeting of the song program group, and suggested that Hu Shuo consider the use of Guo Shaoyu, Jiang Kai and others. Hu Shuo became angry and kicked him out of the program in public.
Group!" Zhong Ting responded.
"He was kicked out of the program team directly. How dare he, Hu Shuo, be so strong??" Cao Zechu frowned. He knew that Yan Shi was from their side. Originally, he was counting on Yan Shi to be in the song program group.
Let's work hard and at least keep Guo Shaoyu's program, so that Wenyu can have one more publicity point.
However, what Cao Zechu never expected was that Hu Shuo actually kicked Yan Shidu out of the show crew.
"So, Guo Shaoyu, Jiang Kai and the others are completely out of business?"
Cao Zechu asked with a frown.
"It should be."
Zhong Ting nodded: "It is said that Yan Shi just mentioned Guo Shaoyu and the others, but Hu Shuo even kicked him out of the program without any scruples. I guess Guo Shaoyu and the others are completely out of business."
"What a great Hu Shuo!"
Cao Zechu clenched his fists. He really didn't expect Hu Shuo to dare to exclude dissidents so openly.
"Where are Qianyu and the others? The progress is going smoothly, right?"
Now that song programs are completely out of the question, Cao Zechu has no choice but to pin his last hope on language programs.
"It should be fine over there."
Zhong Ting slowly said: "The most direct competition with us is the Zhen Ling team and the Song Dabao team. However, the quality of their two teams' works is comparable to ours. Wang Jun is also a language program
The person in charge here, so it shouldn’t be difficult to keep Qianyu’s program going.”
"Um."
Cao Zechu nodded lightly and warned in a deep voice: "Let them polish the program, and don't take it lightly. Don't let anything slip during the fourth trial!"
"I'll tell them again later," Zhong Ting responded.
Cao Zechu thought for a moment and then said: "Give Wang Jun some more benefits as appropriate. Language programs cannot be missed. We cannot have such a huge Spring Festival Gala without even one artist from our Wenyu Entertainment!"
"Okay, I'll do it right away!" Zhong Ting nodded.
"Well, go ahead!"
Cao Zechu waved his hand gently, and Zhong Ting left immediately.
on Monday.
The day of the fourth review of the Spring Festival Gala language program.
Under normal circumstances, there are a total of five reviews for language programs in the Spring Festival Gala. The first four times are for screening programs. The programs left after the fourth time are the programs that will eventually appear on the Spring Festival Gala stage.
As for the fifth review, it is purely a final inspection of the program. All lines must be fixed to ensure that they are word for word as they were performed on the Spring Festival Gala stage. No more burdens can be added or removed, and time must be taken to meet the final live broadcast needs.
The fourth and fifth reviews are both reviews with the audience in order to better test the program effect. After all, these language programs ultimately serve the audience, except for the "main theme" factor that must be reviewed.
Some of the programs do not need to refer to audience feedback, while the other programs all rely on audience feedback.
The fourth review was held in the first studio of the Spring Festival Gala live broadcast. Spring Festival Gala general director Zhang Yufeng and more than ten members of the language program team were sitting under the stage. Behind them were 500 viewers who participated in the review and signed confidentiality agreements.
Everything is ready.
When the review begins, the first person to appear is the Zhen Ling team.
""Working Adventures"? They changed the book?"
Zhang Yufeng glanced at the sketch script on the table in front of him and turned to ask Wang Jun.
"Yes, you just told me yesterday."
Zhen Ling and everyone notified the program team after rehearsing for a day and felt that the effect of this skit was better. Therefore, Wang Jun only learned the news yesterday, and after reading their new script, Wang Jun was actually a little worried
.
Wang Jun is actually a screenwriter, and he still has a certain level, otherwise he would not be able to be the person in charge of language programs. Therefore, after reading the scripts by Zhen Ling and others, he decided to work for Wenyu Entertainment
Khan, because in his opinion, the script of this skit by Zhen Ling team is better than the previous one.
The performance of Zhen Ling's team also verified Wang Jun's judgment. The laughter at the scene was getting louder and louder. Even the staff of the highly funny language program were amused.
Waiting area.
Seeing the performance of the Zhen Ling team, everyone at Wenyu Entertainment, who was next to appear, frowned.
Cao Jin: "This work by Zhen Ling and others is okay. Whose copy is it?"
He Wei: "I don't know. I just heard yesterday that they changed the book. It's really bold."
Lin Qianyu: "It's quite funny. It's much funnier than the skit they did during the third trial."
Cao Jin: "I didn't expect that they have become our strong enemies. It seems that we can only defeat Song Dabao and the others."
He Wei: "Yes, their results are great."
After watching the performance of the Zhen Ling team, everyone at Wenyu Entertainment felt a little sad. This was a review with the audience, and it was clear at a glance how effective the show was.
Next, it was the turn of everyone from Wenyu Entertainment to appear. Their skit was called "Please Help". The theme of the work was good, and it was considered to be a main theme work. With such a positioning of the work, there is bound to be less baggage and less laughter.
.
During their performance, the audience reacted generally and laughed, but compared with the Zhen Ling team's show that just ended, it was a world of difference.
"This show is a bit mediocre!"
After everyone at Wenyu Entertainment finished their performance, Zhang Yufeng couldn't help but murmured in a low voice.
"I think it's good."
In fact, Wang Jun's views are the same as Zhang Yufeng's, but his goal is to protect Wenyu Entertainment's program, so of course he cannot express his agreement with Zhang Yufeng's views.
"Lao Li, what do you think?"
Wang Jun asked Li Bo, who was sitting on the other side of him, who was on the same front as him.
"It's very good. The program has far-reaching ideas and also has some laughs." Li Bo immediately agreed.
"Okay, let's watch the next one." Of course Zhang Yufeng knew the relationship between the two and was too lazy to continue arguing, so he simply watched the next show.
After Wenyu Entertainment, the Shengjing Folk Art Troupe appeared.
"Hey, they also changed their notebooks?"
After Zhang Yufeng took away the script of "Please Help", he revealed the script of the Shengjing Folk Art Troupe. The name is "Blind Date", which is different from the title of their third review work.
"No, they just told me yesterday." Wang Jun shook his head slightly. Of course he also read the new script of the Shengjing Folk Art Troupe, but he felt that it was generally only slightly better than their previous script.
.
Therefore, after the Zhen Ling team's work exploded, Wang Jun focused his firepower on the Shengjing Folk Art Troupe. As long as they performed "normally", they could be eliminated.
on stage.
The Shengjing Folk Art Troupe's performance began. First, two actors appeared to explain the background of the story, and then Song Dabao appeared. After he appeared, the whole sketch turned into hilarious mode, with one funny point after another and one burden after another.
Louder than one, the audience all laughed like crazy, and the laughter seemed to lift the roof of the studio hall...
Seeing this situation, Wang Jun was completely stunned, his brows were twisted into knots. Even though there was laughter around him, he couldn't laugh no matter what.
"What the hell..."
"I didn't think it was so funny when I read the script!"
Wang Jun silently cursed in his heart.
"Haiyan, please be more careful~!!"
At this time, Song Dabao's magical voice came from the stage again, and the scene burst into laughter again. Even many members of the review team laughed out loud.
