This news was a big blow to Cao Zechu and Wang Dade.
After many failed battles, Cao Zechu actually had a shadow of the name Hu Shuo, and instinctively believed that as long as Hu Shuo was around, he would not win.
Although Wang Dade and Hu Shuo have never had a head-to-head confrontation, it can be said that few people in the entertainment industry can match Hu Shuo's influence nowadays. Especially, the God of Medicine has just been offline and his popularity is at its peak.
.
At this time, no matter which variety show Hu Shuo participated in, its ratings and attention would not be bad.
Wang Dade is a senior variety show producer. He knows very well what a superstar or a highly topical artist can bring to a variety show.
Therefore, when he heard that Hu Shuo's variety show was broadcast at the same time as "Love Lianliankan" produced by himself, he naturally felt even more pressure.
"Isn't this a variety show using Hu Shuo as a publicity stunt?"
Wang Dade still didn't believe it, so Hu Shuo came back to record the variety show and asked again.
"Judging from the show's promotional poster, it doesn't look like it, but it looks like the main star of this show!" Zhong Ting turned on her mobile phone, and what appeared on the page was the promotional page for the variety show "Where Are We Going, Dad?"
Cao Zechu and Wang Dade glanced over together. Sure enough, Hu Shuo was in the C position on the program poster, and he also brought his daughter Zuozuo with him.
"Parent-child variety show?"
"In my impression, there seems to be no similar program in China."
Cao Zechu said with a frown.
"No."
“There has never been a show of this type before!”
Wang Dade said decisively.
"So, what's the highlight of this kind of show?"
Cao Zechu asked as he flipped through Jiangcheng TV's promotional information for "Where Are We Going, Dad?"
"have no idea."
Wang Dade shook his head: "I have been doing variety shows for so many years, but I really can't figure out what the selling point of this show is?"
"Almost every family has children. Is there anything interesting about this?"
Wang Dade held his chin with one hand, frowned and thought for a long time, and then said with expectant eyes: "Mr. Cao, I think we may not have a chance of winning this time. Although Hu Shuo's popularity and appeal are very high,
It has a huge boosting effect on the ratings, but this is only for the first episode. I don’t really believe that the audience will follow a variety show that has nothing to watch. Even if there is Hu Shuo in this show,
It’s useless.”
"Of course, Hu Shuo will definitely greatly promote and improve the ratings of this show, but this is also consuming his good reputation!"
Wang Dade thoroughly considered the possible selling points of the show "Where Are We Going, Dad", but he denied them one by one. In the end, there was only one selling point left, which was Hu Shuo's popularity and influence.
There are many people who like Hu Shuo, and even put him on the altar. These people will definitely watch "Where Are We Going, Dad" because of Hu Shuo's existence, but what happens after watching it?
Once the audience finds that this program is not as good as expected, will the audience continue to watch it?
The answer must be no. It does not mean that everyone will not follow it, but this group of people must be a minority.
Therefore, Wang Dade came to the conclusion that in terms of word-of-mouth and long-term ratings, his show "Love" has a good chance of beating Hu Shuo's new variety show "Where Are We Going, Dad".
After coming to such a conclusion, Wang Dade felt a little secretly happy. If, as he speculated, the ratings of his show beat Hu Shuo's latest variety show, then Wang Dade's face would be exposed to the sky.
.
In the past nearly a year, there were at least a dozen famous directors who had fought against Hu Shuo. However, no matter which field they were in, they were all defeated. If Wang Dade could really defeat Hu Shuo once, it would be enough for him to brag for a lifetime.
Already.
Not only that, if the ratings and reputation of "Lianliankan" really beat Hu Shuo's "Where Are We Going, Dad", Wang Dade will gain more than just fame.
It is foreseeable that his net worth and the production costs of the next show will soar. It is not an exaggeration to say that he has directly reached the peak of his life.
"Listening to what you said, this possibility really exists!"
Originally, Cao Zechu had never thought about defeating Hu Shuo, but after Wang Dade said this, he felt that there was really hope.
Hu Shuo has shown unparalleled talent in movies, TV series, and music. However, in terms of variety shows, he has only appeared on "Happy Comedian".
Hu Shuo was still a contestant that time, and although he performed brilliantly, being a contestant and planning a variety show on his own are completely different things.
And, judging from Hu Shuo's past works, he is better at comedy, so "Happy Comedian" can be regarded as his "professional".
But after leaving the stage of "Happy Comedian", he plans and participates in new variety shows. This is really hard to say.
People often say that God is fair. When he opens a window for you, he will also close a door. Hu Shuo has such amazing talents in comedy and music. If he also has such amazing talents in variety shows, then
I can only say that God is unfair!
"Gamble!"
"This time it's worth the gamble!"
Cao Zechu suddenly said with a solemn expression.
"bet?"
Zhong Ting and Wang Dade both looked at Cao Zechu with puzzled faces.
"Go and tell the publicity department to send out the press release!"
Cao Zechu waved to Zhong Ting.
""Love Liankan" and "Where Are We Going, Dad"?"
Of course Zhong Ting understood what Cao Zechu meant. When promoting a program or movie, there are usually two common methods, one is to simply exaggerate, and the other is to find an opponent to support.
The first one is easier to understand, which is to go all out to exaggerate and promote how good and outstanding this drama or program is.
The second type of bullying is more aggressive. Find a movie or program of the same period and promote it together. This kind of promotion is of course one praise and one disgrace. While promoting your own work, you also belittle your opponent, so that the other two can be criticized.
The opponent forms a contrast, which not only promotes oneself, but also belittles the opponent, which is regarded as killing two birds with one stone.
However, this kind of publicity method is naturally more offending. After all, no producer will allow its opponent to do such nonsense. Therefore, this kind of publicity method will often trigger a "battle" between the two parties.
Therefore, unless the two sides must decide the winner or have historical grudges, they generally will not use the propaganda method of pulling and suppressing, because after such publicity, it is okay to win, but once they lose, it will be difficult to end!
"Mr. Cao, are you sure?"
Zhong Ting is well aware of the current situation of the group. If she publishes a press release at this time, once "Love Lianliankan" fails, it will naturally make things worse for Wenyu Group.
"Go ahead."
"This is one of the few opportunities!"
Cao Zechu nodded with determination.
"OK!"
Zhong Ting responded very solemnly, and then left the video room.
"Director Wang, if your program can really beat Hu Shuo's "Where Are We Going, Dad" this time, the group will definitely reward you heavily!"
After Zhong Ting left, Cao Zechu said to Wang Dade again.
"Thank you, Mr. Cao!"
"Actually, rewards are not important. As a member of Wenyu Group, I just hope that I can contribute my own strength and contribute to the group!"
What Wang Dade said was very beautiful.
"Well, the group will not treat you badly!"
Cao Zechu reached out and patted Wang Dade on the shoulder.
soon.
New articles appeared in the media.
[Wenyu Group and Chuangshi Entertainment have another head-to-head confrontation! 】
[Comparison of five highlights of "Where Are We Going, Dad" vs. "Love Lianliankan"! 】
[Coincidence? Hu Shuo’s new variety show collides with a new variety show produced by Wenyu Group!]
[PK in the field of variety shows! Who do you like more, "Love Lianliankan" or "Where Are We Going, Dad"? 】
There are many similar articles on Weibo, forums, and post bars. As long as they are related to entertainment, you can almost see articles about the comparison of the two programs. And these articles all have one thing in common, that is, "Love" is better to watch.
"Lianliankan".
At the same time, the program "Where Are We Going, Dad" has been criticized overtly and covertly as being worthless and completely worthless!
For such a large-scale release, one can imagine how much "money" Wenyu Group paid for it.
Suddenly there were so many pushbacks, which naturally triggered a new round of discussion among netizens.
"What's going on? Why do so many posts about "Where Are We Going, Dad" suddenly appear?
"I read a few articles analyzing Brother Shuo's new variety show "Where Are We Going, Dad?" and I'm really angry. Brother Shuo actually made what they said worthless!"
"No, I was very angry when I read it. One article also said that Brother Shuo has no talent in the field of variety shows. I wonder if the winner of "Happy Comedian" was eaten by you? The now popular "If You Are the One" was eaten by you??"
"It's obviously just for the sake of being black. "If You Are the One" is such an awesome program, but it was ignored directly, as if it doesn't even have a dime to do with Brother Shuo!"
"I really don't know where the people who boasted about "Love Lianliankan" got their confidence. They obviously plagiarized the program "If You Are the One" and made it look like they were awesome."
"There are articles slandering "Where Are We Going, Dad" everywhere? It seems that Wenyu Group spent a lot of money this time!"
"The operation of Wenyu Group is really disgusting. No matter how you hack "Where Are We Going, Dad", I still support Brother Shuo!"
"..."
Since all the articles were almost one-sided in criticizing Hu Shuo and "Where Are We Going, Dad", Hu Shuo's fans were very angry and began to curse unceremoniously in the comment sections of some articles.
However, Wenyu Group has also made full preparations. While posting the "Where Are We Going, Dad" article online, it also found a lot of trolls.
"There are so many crazy fans of Hu Shuo. The analysis in this article is well-founded. How come he is a fan of Hu Shuo?"
"Any comments that are unfavorable to Hu Shuo are considered negative, and the author can't even say a fair word?"
"To be honest, when I saw the name of Hu Shuo's new variety show, I felt that Hu Shuo would definitely hit the streets this time. Are you sure someone will watch it with such a ridiculous name?"
"Haha, the person upstairs has the same opinion as me, "Where Are We Going, Dad"? What kind of rubbish name is this? Where are we going, dad? Dad is here!!"
"My guess is that "Where Are We Going, Dad" is a show for raising children. So, the question is, what's so good about raising children??"
"..."
Due to the large number of trolls setting the pace, the direction of the trend on the Internet is quite confusing, and it is difficult to tell which of the two programs has a higher support rate.
Creation music.
recording studio.
Five dads, headed by Hu Shuo, and five cute babies are recording the theme song of the same name for "Where Are We Going, Dad?"
In the shed.
Hu Shuo and Zuo Zuo were recording their parts, while the other fathers were watching through the glass wall outside the studio.
Zuo Zuo: Dad, can you sing "Little Star"?
Hu Shuo: No way...
Zuozuo: Then let me teach you?
Hu Shuo: Okay!
Zuozuo:twinkle twinkle little star
how i wonder what you are
Hu Shuo: You are out of tune!
Hu Shuo and Zuo Zuo laughed together...
This is the beginning of the song "Where Are We Going, Dad", and Hu Shuo and Zuo Zuo have recorded it five times. Shen Hongtu, who was responsible for the song production for the first four times, was always not satisfied. However, this time the father and daughter cooperated well.
very good.
OK!
Outside the glass wall, Shen Hongtu made a good gesture to Hu Shuo and Zuo Zuo in the shed.
Phew~!
After seeing Shen Hongtu's gesture, Zuo Zuo let out a long breath.
"Dad, we succeeded~!"
Zuo Zuo looked up at her father, with a proud smile on her face.
"yes!"
Hu Shuo chuckled.
"Dad, should we give high fives to celebrate!" Zuo Zuo said in a sweet voice.
"Yeah! Okay~!"
Hu Shuo nodded.
Yeah~!
Zuo Zuo immediately stretched out her little hand and high-fived her father to celebrate.
After high-fiving, Hu Shuo picked up Zuo Zuo and walked out of the recording room.
"This time is great!" Shen Hongtu gave a thumbs up to the father and daughter.
"Sister Zuozuo, you're doing so well..."
Niu Niu in the waiting room started to praise him.
"Yes, yes, sister Zuozuo is doing so well..."
Ayi also echoed.
"Hehe~!"
Seeing this, a proud smile immediately appeared on Zuo Zuo's face.
"Okay, it's time for everyone to enter..."
Shen Hongtu turned his attention to the other four fathers and children.
"I suddenly felt a little nervous. I really can't sing."
"Well, I'm not very good at singing either. I get worried every time I sing."
"Teacher Shen, if I really can't sing well, don't scold me..."
Yang Jian, Wu Ke, and Hou Liang all had little singing skills, so the three of them were a little apprehensive about recording the theme song for "Where Are We Going, Dad?"
"It doesn't matter, if it really doesn't work, you can still cut the sound later~!"
Shen Hongtu smiled slightly.
Later, Yang Jian and four other fathers took their children into the recording studio.
