In fact, after thinking about it carefully, Yang Dongxu roughly understood why the official TV station made such a request. The main reason was that "Super Winner" was too popular.
It’s easy to talk about TV series. After all, everyone can buy the broadcast rights. The official satellite TV has always been a strong contender for the first round of broadcast rights, and the winning rate has always been above 90%. In this regard, other local satellite TVs are the absolute younger brothers.
After all, if your provincial TV station is popular, it means you have influence in a province. But the official satellite TV broadcasts it nationwide, so if a TV series wants to be popular with everyone, it must be broadcast nationwide if it is limited to one province.
But the emergence of "Super Winner" broke this routine. With the help of this popular program, Anhui Provincial Satellite TV and a provincial satellite TV directly broke the routine. Not only did they go nationwide, but they overtook the official satellite TV. This was a slap in the face. .
Although the official satellite TV has a talent show, it can still be considered a breath of fresh air. But "Super Winner" has never been able to dominate the charts, which undoubtedly constantly reminds them of the fact that they have been slapped in the face before.
Therefore, if you want to save face, you need to come up with a trump card program to overwhelm the opponent. Of course, in fact, the official website guards also thought about buying this program, but Anhui Province Satellite TV has been such a treasure for many years and cannot be sold. After being pushed back several times, the official website guards decided to fight head-on, so they came up with the idea. Heiner.
"One week, I'll notify them after one week to read the text and discuss cooperation." Yang Dongxu pondered for a moment and then said.
"Do you have a program that can beat "Super Winner"?" Chen Hong looked at Yang Dongxu curiously. Although his tone was a bit questioning, his eyes were bright. The talent in this man's mind is like an ocean that never runs dry.
"It's impossible to defeat. To be honest, as long as this program doesn't commit suicide, it's not impossible to make it an evergreen tree that will be popular for 20 or 30 years. However, the official website defender has a natural advantage. It's better to create a program that can compete with other parties. There is a chance." Yang Dongxu said.
Although "Super Winner" is not the originator of domestic variety shows, it is indeed an iconic program that created its own era. Various programs in it were still renamed and used by many variety shows more than ten years later.
For many popular variety shows, you can always find the template if you look through the interviews of "Super Winner". So this is the pinnacle of indoor variety shows, a pinnacle that still cannot be surpassed more than ten years later.
Under the premise that this Zongye program is very popular, and the plan he proposed is also an indoor variety show, it is impossible to defeat this program that created its own era.
"I wonder if they will be satisfied with this?" Chen Hong was a little worried.
"If I'm not satisfied, I have nothing to do. "Super Winner" is a BUG. No one can do it except changing the program type. Changing the program type is a bit behind the times and requires the Chinese New Year, so I can work hard." It’s not bad to compete.” Yang Dongxu shrugged.
"Then I'll ask what they mean first." Chen Hong nodded.
"What do you mean by that political mission?" Although it does not clearly stipulate how many anti-war films or TV series with political significance Heiner should make every year.
But Heiner has always done a good job in this regard, whether it is the charity performance of Heiner's stars that must be held once a year, or charity donations, or participating in the filming of films for some official organizations, he has done a very good job.
This time, he rushed to Yanjing in a hurry, not only because the official website TV wanted to create a popular variety show, but also because someone hinted at Haina, and Chen Hong notified him.
"There are no big restrictions, that is, we hope to strengthen the connection between the entertainment industry on both sides of the Taiwan Strait and make progress together. It is said that the economic cooperation has achieved good results, and the entertainment cooperation has also kept up, which can increase the close relationship between the two sides." Chen Hong He spoke.
Yang Dongxu nodded silently. After the mainland's reform and opening up, the economy has developed rapidly. Businessmen are profit-seeking and have some homesickness. In the past two years, many Bayan businessmen have come to invest in the mainland, so the economic cooperation between the two sides has been okay in the past few years. .
And because of the existence of Haina, and the fact that Li Zongsheng, the boss of Haina's record department, is also from Bayan, the entertainment industries on both sides of the Taiwan Strait have been very close to each other in recent years, especially with singers.
Many Taiwanese singers have come to the mainland to hold concerts and have achieved good results. In fact, it is not just singers. Some of the movies and TV series produced by Heiner also feature many Taiwanese movie stars. So the original cooperation was very good, but further deepening the cooperation requires careful consideration.
"Are you collaborating on any new works with Wanwan this year?" Yang Dongxu asked after thinking for a moment.
“Concerts and other events are all planned as in previous years, and actors are included in the selection of actors when filming film and television productions.
Um... By the way, they sent me a script for a youth idol drama before. They said they wanted to make a youth idol drama of their own, so they wanted to use all actors from Wanwan. I originally wanted to see if it was possible. Add a few newcomers to the company, but the other party stranded it without recovery. "
Hainer has some rules that are not explicitly stipulated. One of the tacit rules is that a movie or TV series is required. Whether they are Hong Kong and Taiwan actors or mainland actors, they need a certain ratio.
In other words, among the roles of the Film and Television Bureau, if it is a movie with Hong Kong characteristics, then a role must be given to the company's mainland actors. Similarly, movies with mainland characteristics will also leave space for Hong Kong and Taiwan stars.
At first, this rule was meant to allow Hong Kong and Taiwan stars to help mainland stars, and there were a lot of complaints. However, with the popularity of each work, these Hong Kong and Taiwan stars became more and more famous day by day, and even entered other Asian countries with the help of these works, so this dissatisfaction quickly disappeared.
Of course, this is not mandatory. Although Hainer has invested in many Hong Kong and Taiwan movies or TV series, there are cases where all actors from Hong Kong and Taiwan are used and no roles are given to mainland actors.
It's just that under normal circumstances, when Heina proposes conditions, the other party will agree. After all, it's just a character, and it doesn't have to be a male or female protagonist. As long as Haina is willing to invest and help promote the work to become a hit, everything is possible.
"What do you think the other party meant when he didn't reply?" Yang Dongxu asked.
“The producer there explained to me that every region has its own style, and they wanted to shoot an idol drama that was uniquely Bayan-style, so using the accents of mainland actors was a problem.
Didn’t our company sign a few new people from some drama schools this year? Taking the idol drama route is quite suitable, so I wanted a role. The other party didn't agree at the time, and didn't reply after that. It can't be because..." Chen Hong looked stunned.
"No, but the rise of Haina in recent years has indeed compressed the living space of many other local film and television companies. This is probably a trigger. In fact, it is not only the case in Wanwan, but also in Hong Kong.
It's similar in Korea. It stands to reason that every place has its own characteristics. Shooting with your own characteristics and allowing the audience to see different beauty actually has a positive effect on healthy competition in the industry.
However, the greeting from above is probably just a small matter, and more of an attempt to impress our meaning. For example, our competitors have become increasingly difficult in recent years. "Yang Dongxu chuckled.
I originally thought it was some kind of political mission, but after hearing what happened and taking a closer look, I guess someone used their connections to bring in personal goods. After all, Haina's 'dominance' doesn't last for a day or two.
Those film and television companies that have always wanted to overpower Haina have been squeezed hard by Haina in recent years, not only in mainland China, Hong Kong and Taiwan, so these people can't help but use this little thing to test it out.
"Then this matter..."
"Didn't I say that each region has its own characteristics, and we should let the audience see different beauties. Since it is a good thing, just agree to it directly, but the premise is that every penny should be paid. There is no precedent for such things as casting, so there is no need to worry too much.”
"No, I'm talking about what should be done about the private goods you mentioned?" Chen Hong naturally wouldn't care about not using all Wanwan actors.
As Yang Dongxu said, Haina did not emphasize that the default rules must be implemented before, so there is no harm in agreeing. The most important thing in this matter is those people who are using the topic to make use of the situation and making small moves behind the scenes.
"The private goods are just our guesses. The other party didn't say it clearly, right? So since it's a guess, it can't be taken as true." Yang Dongxu smiled and blinked.
Chen Hong was stunned for a moment, then couldn't help but walk up behind Yang Dongxu, put his head on his chest and massaged him, "You are so bad."
"What does it mean to be too bad? If there is a problem, solve it. I strongly support this kind of film and television works that maintain local characteristics. As for other things, if people don't explain clearly, we just go up to the pole to help. This is not a problem. Looking for trouble?"
"Yes, yes, people usually ask you to do things. How can you rub your hot face against their cold ass?" Chen Hong said funny.
I don’t know if those people who are making use of the topic will be angry and vomit blood when they see that this small matter has been solved and other things have not been touched at all.
But what Yang Dongxu said was correct. Since you didn't explain it clearly, I didn't realize this kind of thing that can only be understood but cannot be expressed. Do you still want to bite me?
"This metaphor is inappropriate." Yang Dongxu smiled, patted the back of Chen Hong's hand, and then asked casually: "What's the name of that idol drama?"
"It seems to be called "Meteor Garden", yes! That's the name. I was recommended by Brother Li, who also made a theme song there. Brother Li heard it very well, so he recommended it." Chen Hong He spoke.
But she felt Yang Dongxu's body stiffen for a moment: "What's wrong?"
"It's okay, I was thinking that Brother Li doesn't like idol dramas very much. Is he trying to distract from other people's songs?" Yang Dongxu said with a smile.
"It's really possible." Thinking about Li Zongsheng's encounter with a good song, Chen Hong couldn't help but laugh: "Brother Li said that song is very good for newcomers to sing."
