Dad's Entertainment Life

Chapter 15 Fight
Red Maple TV is located in the bustling area of ​​Shanghai, because the avenue in front of it is full of maple trees, and because its logo resembles a maple leaf, it is nicknamed Red Maple TV.

After work, Qiao Feng came to the office of the "Happy Running" program team of the Variety Department with a file bag.

It seemed very lively here, and many acquaintances Qiao Feng knew were there.

A skinny camel is bigger than a horse, and they are the same. They saw their own opportunities from the crisis of "Happy Running".

Trying hard to hope that I can become the savior who saves the ratings of the show, and has jumped from an ordinary small screenwriter to the screenwriter of the hit variety show "Happy Running".

Besides, the bonus of 50 yuan is really quite a lot, and it is very attractive. No wonder all the screenwriters who don't care about world affairs appear here.

However, none of them looked very good when they came out, obviously they didn't get what they wanted.

"Their demands are simply too high."

A middle-aged man shook his head repeatedly when he saw Qiao Feng.

"But it's normal, why didn't they think about it? Otherwise, they wouldn't ask for inspiration from the whole Taiwan.

They are experienced and they can't think of a good solution. How can the ideas we laymen ponder over get their approval? "

Qiao Feng nodded understandingly, "It's a matter of great importance, so it's normal to be cautious and demanding."

"Why? Little Qiao, do you want to try it too?"

When Qiao Feng first entered the TV station, because of his handsome appearance, he was given a very feminine name by his colleagues: Xiao Qiao, just like the famous beauties of the Three Kingdoms in history.

The name quickly spread throughout the station, especially in the editorial department. Almost everyone called him that, with a touch of joking.

It can be said that this completely deviates from the original intention of his father to give him this name.

There is only one person who can't, and that is Lin Qirong.

When I first took him with me, I called him by his name directly, but later on I became familiar with him and changed to calling him Young Master Qiao, but never called him Little Qiao.

Although Qiao Feng didn't care about this "fancy name", he would even blackmail himself in order to get closer to his colleagues.

But it doesn't mean that he likes the name. In fact, in elementary school and junior high school, he often got into fights because of it.

Just laugh it off when you grow up.

Therefore, he has great respect for Lin Qirong, who insists on not calling him by his "flower name", and regards him as his elder brother.

Two years later, when he called, he still appeared in front of him immediately.

"I have some ideas, maybe I'm just going through the motions like everyone else."

Qiao Feng and him smiled and said, "Since we're here, we must see and gain experience, right?"

"That's right." The other party patted him on the shoulder, "Come on, this is also a rare opportunity to exercise.

Don't be discouraged if you lose the election, it's not that we are not good enough, it's just that the requirements of variety shows are different from our style. "

"I know."

Qiao Feng nodded, but remembered the situation when Lin Qirong casually showed him the script.

"Did you figure it out?"

A smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

That would put most people to shame, right?including myself.

……

The efficiency of the program group was very high, and there were not many screenwriters in the station, so it was Qiao Feng's turn soon.

Inside the office, it was temporarily transformed into an interview room. Three people sat on the table and watched Qiao Feng who walked in.

Qiao Feng knew them, Han Long, one of the directors of "Happy Running", Qin Lun, the deputy screenwriter, and Li Yijun, the deputy director of Red Maple TV in the middle.

Even the deputy director in charge of business has personally stepped in, which is really serious enough.

There are a few people behind them who are busy, and there is a large pile of documents in front of them, presumably contributed by many screenwriters.

"sit down."

After Qiao Feng briefly saluted and introduced himself, Director Han Long signaled.

"Thank you." Qiao Feng nodded, and sat down on the chair in the middle.

"To make a long story short, let's put forward your thoughts directly? What do you think about the program "Happy Running"?"

"Ok."

No wonder the other screenwriters came out so quickly, it was really straightforward.

But Qiao Feng and Lin Qirong had practiced for a long time last night, they were confident, they didn't panic, and said with a smile on their faces.

"The problem with "Happy Running" is not the production quality of the show, nor the host and guests, but the audience.

We are very serious about presenting the program to everyone, but it has not been recognized by everyone, nor has it been recognized by the market. In the final analysis, after a few seasons, the audience has already developed aesthetic fatigue.

They don't want to watch the stereotyped performance routines anymore, they want to see new things and feel new stimuli
As the supply side cannot meet the new requirements of the demand side, coupled with the impact of other programs, it will lead to a decline in both ratings and word of mouth. "

"We have realized this problem, the most important thing is how to solve this problem, the solution is what we need."

Screenwriter Qin Lun was a little dissatisfied. They had long been aware of this problem, but they couldn't find a solution.

"Innovation," Qiao Feng said directly, "on the basis of the framework of the current program, without making major changes, we will carefully produce one or two episodes of completely new content that is completely different from the previous content, so as to attract the audience's attention to this program again. Come.

As long as one or two episodes of the show are approved by the audience, this season's show is not considered a failure. If drastic changes are made in the next season, this show can still glow with a new life. "

"It's not bad, but anyone can talk about it in general terms. The key is whether you can come up with ideas that can achieve this goal."

"This is the main purpose of my coming today."

Qiao Feng stood up, took out three scripts from his briefcase and handed them to the three of them respectively.

Sitting down again, he talked eloquently, "We all know that "Happy Running" is an outdoor reality show, featuring star interaction, funny and challenging various tasks and games.

This model has achieved great success before, but now it has produced aesthetic fatigue.

My idea is, on this basis, come to a brain-burning special and play an intellectual game.

We put the host and the guests into a specific circle, everyone has their own special identities, and they are faintly divided into two factions to form a confrontation to see who can win the final victory.

The advantage of this is that it increases competition and improves fun.

It is also helpful to discover the intellectual attributes of the host and guests, and what kind of performance they will have throughout the game is worth looking forward to.

More importantly, suspense reasoning games are naturally designed to seduce the audience's curiosity and create a sense of immersion.

If it can be successful, the ratings and reputation will definitely change for the better.

Under such circumstances, if we conduct public relations and announce that the next season will undergo major changes, it will become the topic that the audience cares about most, and it will further increase their recognition and expectations of us.

My words are finished, please leaders and teachers criticize and correct. "

The meeting room suddenly fell silent, and the three interviewers did not speak in a hurry, but seriously studied the script in their hands.

Naturally, they are not ignorant people, and they have professional judgments on the quality of a script.

"I have to say, your statement and this script moved my heart."

The script in Li Yijun's deputy director Yang Yang's hand was the first to speak.

"But I'd like to hear from experts first."

Both he and director Han Long looked at screenwriter Qin Lun.

Because both the chief director and the chief screenwriter are filming the show outside, screenwriter Qin Lun, as the writer of most of the show's scripts, has the most authority to evaluate the script.

"Although I really don't want to admit it," screenwriter Qin Lun looked at Qiao Feng with a bitter voice, "but I have to admit that this is a very good script, not only in line with the show, but also with new tricks.

Even for me, when I read the script, I already had the framework of the whole show in my mind, and I was eager to see how the guests would behave. "

"What I care about," Director Han Long said, "is that the script is very detailed, and it even takes into consideration what guests can be invited and who will be responsible for the design.

Every host has his own role and the opportunity to shine, the key is how they grasp it.

What shocked me the most was that in every session, he warmly reminded each guest that he could consider how to play the show to achieve the greatest effect in this session, and provided his own opinions from a professional perspective.

After the host gets the personal script, he can think about how to become more brilliant according to his own personality and personality.

This not only gives the host enough space to play, but also provides professional advice, which can achieve the best results. "

"It seems that you all like this script?"

Li Yijun asked.

"Yeah, in my opinion, maybe that's the key to our turnaround.

It is a very correct choice to save the word-of-mouth of the show and prepare for the next season, instead of just overthrowing it and starting over, that would be too risky. "

Director Han Long gave his opinion directly.

"I am the same way. I can at least take this script to the chief director and discuss it with them to see how we can make it the best."

Screenwriter Qin Lun also expressed his views.

"That's good." Li Yijun nodded, looked at Qiao Feng and asked, "Did you create this script?"

"I created this with a friend."

Qiao Feng remembered Lin Qirong's explanation, nodded and replied.

"We're all big fans of Happy Run and don't want to see it go downhill.

We believe that outdoor reality shows are the mainstream trend of variety shows, because the great rivers and mountains and the bustling world outside have brought us rich themes. The key is how to use and expand them to continuously bring happiness to the audience. "

"It seems that your hearts are bigger than ours." Li Yijun turned around and smiled with the other two people, "They say that the wisdom of the people is infinite. This time we have really seen it. It can be said that it has benefited our program and even other programs. They all provided great help.”

"That's right, working behind closed doors is a bad idea." Screenwriter Qin Lun nodded repeatedly, and said with some shame.

Li Yijun turned his head and said to Qiao Feng.

"Then let's leave it at that for the time being, we will let you know what choice the program team will make in the end.

Thank you for your support, and thank you for your friends, I hope to have the opportunity to cooperate in the future. "

"OK, thanks."

Qiao Feng stood up and bowed to pay tribute, opened the door and left.

What greeted him was the complicated expressions of others.

Only then did he realize that he had been in it for a long time, which also meant that his script had a high chance of being selected.

No wonder other people see themselves that way.

Your own success represents the failure of others.

However, this is exactly what you want, isn't it?
