Dad's Entertainment Life

Chapter 13 Opportunity
A message was quickly received on the mobile phone, and the bank accounted for 1 yuan.

You must know that this is in exchange for the script that Lin Qirong spent two months writing painstakingly.

For screenwriters, such income is really pitifully low.

But it can just solve the current shortage of funds.

The next thing to consider is how to make money.

I have a free quota for a three-star script in my hand, and a script worth [-] daddy points shouldn't be too bad.

But with my current situation, even if I come up with a three-star script, it will be difficult to get the appreciation of investors or directors. After all, I have disappeared from everyone, and I am no longer the little-known screenwriter I used to be.

What's more, if you want to fight He Yingxiong and let out the breath in your heart, a three-star script may not be enough.

After all, He Yingxiong is a great screenwriter, and his reputation is there. Everyone's starting point is completely different.

So for the time being, I can only put this matter aside and consider other things first.

What Qiao Feng said last night gave him some inspiration.

Red Maple TV's ace variety show "Happy Running" has the problem of aesthetic fatigue due to lack of innovation, and its ratings and reputation have dropped sharply.

In order to save the ratings of this season, the TV station offered a lot of rewards and wanted to find a way to save the ratings.

This might be his chance.

Even though the original Lin Qirong left the TV station, he has been paying attention to the TV station's trends, and he knows quite well about the program "Happy Running".

Looking back on this show carefully, Lin Qirong felt more and more that it was very similar to the popular variety show "Running Brother" in his memory.

They are all based on seven fixed hosts with their own characteristics and a few temporary guests to complete various challenging tasks outdoors, and create various laughs during the tasks to please the audience.

Outdoor reality show modes such as challenging difficult tasks, experiencing different professions, playing games, etc. all appear in the program.

The only difference from "Run, Brother" is that "Happy Run" does not have a part of tearing up famous brands, making this show more funny.

As a result, the brand-tearing link and the hilarious, touching or sad plots that fans love to see in "Let's Run" are missing.

In Lin Qirong's view, this is the key to "Running Brother" being so popular with the audience.

It can be said that this small idea directly divides the two programs into two levels of programs.

One is just a relatively popular show, and the other is a hit variety show that is popular all over the country.

But Lin Qirong doesn't want to take this idea out now.

The price of 50 is too low.

More importantly, the filming of the program has reached the middle stage, and the broadcast has already begun. If there is such a big change suddenly, without knowing the effect, I am afraid that the program group and the audience will not be able to accept it, which may cause unnecessary trouble.

"System, may I ask how many stars is the script of the first season of "Running Brother"?"

"Four stars." The system replied, "The effect of the program is five stars, but the script alone is only four stars."

Sure enough, Lin Qirong nodded, "Then just want the script of one or two episodes?"

"A three-star script opportunity can be exchanged for a four-episode script."

"That's fine." Lin Qirong clapped his hands and laughed.

A episode of "Run, Brother" that he had watched appeared in his mind, which should be the most suitable for this situation.

"System, I want to change the scripts of two episodes. They are the sixth and seventh episodes of the third season of "Running Brothers"."

These two episodes are the successor specials of the third season of "Run, Brother". Because they are so exciting, they are rarely divided into two episodes and broadcast, and they have received rave reviews.

The main reason why Lin Qirong chose this special is that this episode combines hilarious laughter, excitement, and guessing puzzles, which is quite brain-burning.

It is in the same line as the previous style of "Happy Running" but also has a huge difference, which can give the audience a huge impact and bring a refreshing feeling.

When Lin Qirong first watched this program, everyone couldn't imagine the subsequent development at first.

If it weren't for the plot to reveal the identities of the two foreigners and their "killing" methods in advance, I believe many people will still be confused in the end.

The second reason is that this special has nothing to do with tearing up famous cards. It relies entirely on voting to eliminate people, so that it can keep the most important trump card in his hand for the future.

"Got it, host, what carrier do you want to put it on?"

Lin Qirong thought for a while before deciding to put it on his laptop so that he could modify it.

"The redemption has been completed, please check with the host." The voice of the system sounded, "There are still two chances for the script of the variety show or the redemption chance for a song."

"Got it, thank you."

Lin Qirong nodded, turned on the computer, and sure enough there was an extra file on the desktop. When he clicked on it, it was the script of the successor special.

Many viewers feel that variety shows mainly rely on hosts and guests, and the role of scripts in variety shows is completely inferior to that in TV dramas and movies.

Some even think that the script is not needed at all.

This is completely layman's terms. In fact, any variety show has a script, and it attaches great importance to the role of the script. The difference is the freedom given to the guests.

In some scripts, even what the guests say, when the audience applauds, which guest is expected to have friction with which guest, or even fall out on the spot are clearly arranged.

The guests and the audience are like marionettes, with no room for free play. It can be said that the script determines the quality of the entire program.

But such programs often have huge side effects, and the guests will also resist, so it is rare for this kind of script to decide everything.

There are also some programs that only give a framework and give the guests absolute freedom. As long as the guests act within this framework, they will not interfere.

Such programs are often very effective, but they are highly dependent on the performance and control of the guests, which is very rare.

The most common situation is that the script and the guests pay equal attention to each other and cooperate with each other.

For example, the script stipulates the gameplay of a game, and the guests are free to play within the rules, and the script will, according to the needs of the program effect, suggest a certain guest to perform in a special link that meets other people's design, triggering a hit in ratings.

Of course, this is just a suggestion. Whether the guest can achieve the effect depends on the performance of the guest.

"Run, Brother" is such a script. What kind of response can each link and each guest make to best reflect the effect of the program, which is reflected in the above, but how to express it is left to the guest to control .

In his previous life, Lin Qirong and his colleagues used this special series as an example to conduct or analyze a familiar script, as if they had returned to the past.

Although it was very hard and tiring, my life was very fulfilling.

Just never going back.

Now that the analysis has been carried out, the advantages and disadvantages of the script of this special series are clear to the heart.

The advantage is naturally that each guest can show their own characteristics and bring intensive laughter.

The brain-burning plot setting is enough for the guests to fully invest in it, and the effect will naturally be very good.

The disadvantages are also obvious.

The first is that the setting of the game link is a bit too simple, except for the second game, there are not many laughs.

The second is that the foreign siblings were exposed too early, which made the audience look at it from the perspective of God. The sense of substitution was much weaker, and they did not understand the performance of the guests in the game.

The third is that the setting of each clue is not secret enough and classic enough, which affects the overall effect.

Intelligent viewers can quickly tell, but the guests seem to be completely confused and a bit mentally retarded, which is obviously not very appropriate in such a brain-burning special.

He revised the necessary content so that it could match the name, personality, and characteristics of the host of "Happy Running", and then saved it before finishing the work.

……

Qiao Feng came back late tonight, Lin Qirong put Lin Yitong to sleep, and he opened the door to come back.

"Because of the script, all the screenwriters in the station were called to a meeting today, hoping to brainstorm and come up with a solution."

Qiao Feng took the beer can that Lin Qirong handed over, opened it and took a big sip before explaining the reason for his late return.

"In order to save this show, the station is willing to pay a high price, and even proposed to find foreign aid, hoping that outside screenwriters can provide inspiration.

In fact, everyone is well aware of any problems with this program. If major changes are not made, either the people or the framework will be changed, otherwise there is nothing anyone can do.

But now the meaning of the station is to restore word of mouth and ratings first, and then consider changes after the end of this season. "

"Actually, this is normal. Making big changes rashly is actually more likely to fail."

Lin Qirong understands the TV station’s approach, “The safest way is to make some innovative changes to the existing structure.

In this way, the program group will not be at a loss, and the host will not have the problem of running in. "

"But the difficulty lies in the novelty." Qiao Feng shook his head, "In this field, our station is the best, and the programs of other stations have nothing to learn from.

And if it was so easy to innovate, there would already be blockbuster variety shows all over the street. "

He shook his head, he had heard countless explanations on this topic today, his head was swollen, so he changed the subject and asked about Lin Qirong.

"You handed in the manuscript today, how is the situation?"

"It's still the same," Lin Qirong said flatly, "After two months of hard work, I only got 1 yuan, and it's just a hard meal.

Then I broke up with them. "

"Really terminate the contract? Have you figured it out?"

Lin Qirong smiled wryly, "Otherwise, what else can I do? He Yingxiong has always been unhappy with me, and this time he took the opportunity to terminate the contract and threatened to lower my salary, so I just terminated the contract."

"Stubbornness." Qiao Feng gave him a thumbs up, "He Yingxiong's fame is based on hype, and you have made a lot of money in the past two years, but you rely on your writing?

Otherwise, how could the same routine be so popular?
how?Any new plans?As long as you can come up with a good script, I will definitely help you recommend it to others. "

"Let's not talk about this, I'm a little interested in your current matter."

Lin Qirong looked at him with a smile.

"How? Are you interested in cooperating once?"

　As for the introduction of "Run, Brother", the author has a detailed introduction in the relevant works. If you are interested, you can take a look.
