Wei Tao can't remember exactly which year that King Liu Tianwang dominated the zero o'clock New Year's Eve party. He vaguely remembers that it was only in the past two years. There was none last year. Mango Channel did not do any publicity this year. In the first two days, Talking to Liu Tianwang on the phone, he is on vacation with his wife.
The thirty-minute performance truly accompanied the fans to celebrate the New Year. With the influence of the King and the ability to mobilize emotions on the spot, Wei Tao has a deep memory of the content of that performance. Such a hard-working performance crushed all the fans. David looked at a group of popular young people and presented a new way to celebrate the New Year.
In the future, some satellite TV stations will follow suit. However, there are very few singers who can hold down the scene for an extremely long time. Not only must the person have nationality, but the song must also have nationality, and he must be willing to sweat profusely in attitude. Give your best to perform, be worthy of the remuneration and be worthy of the expectations of all fans.
What’s funny is that Mango Channel once asked Brother Chun to arrange the New Year’s Eve time. It was basically a kind of self-pleasure and self-entertainment, and it had the effect of improving the status of the celebrity, but the status of the celebrity was somewhat self-conscious. It means to entertain yourself, and the recognition you get is just from the other party's fans.
The finale of introducing Liu Tianwang to Yanjing TV was a favor card reserved by Wei Tao. He put it in useful places and also offered Liu Tianwang a sky-high price to achieve a win-win situation. What "Operation Red Sea" added was his diversified direction, making fans love him more. However, in terms of attracting new fans, the effect was average. After all, the military theme itself was weak in this aspect. His age and body proportions, everyone in that drama Wearing the same costume, there are not many bonus points. It just makes those who doubt that he can't act think that he can, and it also increases the official's confidence in him to participate in the main theme film.
A New Year's Eve party is only for young people.
"Five million, I can sponsor it."
Wu Xizhong thought for a while and shook his head: "We will get it ourselves. We have a sponsor. It is against the rules to add it temporarily. It is not appropriate for you Anshun to fully sponsor it."
Wei Tao nodded.
"Five million is a bit much. Let's help talk about 3 million."
Wei Tao still nodded.
The difference in money is not a problem at all. He can help him get it, but neither party will agree. If he really wants to secretly get the money to make up for it, he is not doing a good thing, but doing a bad thing with good intentions and hurting both parties. Offended, both parties lose face.
In front of Wu Xizhong, Wei Tao directly dialed Liu Tianwang's landline phone in his private residence. Although landline phones are now inconvenient and have been eliminated by history, for a very small number of people, they are more special than mobile phones. historical mission.
Can be used as the most private contact method.
At this time, the kings who are not working are all at home.
There was no need to talk anymore, Liu Tianwang nodded directly and agreed. He was never afraid of performing, and he didn't need to prepare long in advance. He had been popular for so many years and had so many popular songs that he could just use them.
"When I go to Yanjing, I will use your recording studio to re-arrange a few songs. For the New Year's Eve party, I want to mobilize everyone's emotions, arrange a medley, and re-arrange fast songs suitable for stage performances..."
I admire him. He has been popular for so many years. It really is not due to luck or anything, and he has no choice in terms of artistic ethics. Is there something wrong with him singing a few of his own popular songs? Being able to take every opportunity to face fans seriously, paying enough attention to it and sweating enough for it will always feel normal in their hearts.
Wu Xizhong looked at Wei Tao, half-smiling but not smiling. He was drinking smoothly. With this pair of eyes, Wei Tao looked at Bao Xiqian who was standing aside.
The latter had a coquettish look on his face, not shying away from the fact that there were people next to him.
"Oh, Brother Zhong is my distant cousin. The variety show idea you told me that time will definitely not be given to the TV stations of those two programs anyway. There are only a few influential ones left, and we are all here In Yanjing, the wealth should not flow to outsiders."
Wei Tao thought for a while: "The conditions are still the same. Is there any problem?"
Wu Xizhong learned about Anshun's rules from Bao Xiqian. They can talk sincerely and make concessions, but the program itself, which belongs to them, will not change.
Wei Tao thought about it again. The reason why this show will be spread out in the future is that Taiguo's intensive filming for the sake of making money requires several resident guests to spend a lot of time doing variety shows every year, which is worse than their original profession; and then there is The program itself, complained by a group of idiot-like netizens, is still the same as before. It is clearly an entertainment companionship to make everyone happy, but it insists on adding some educational significance. It is not positive enough and has incorrect views.
What can't be taught by parents is changed by just watching some TV?
It is obviously impossible to change the fact that the official is forced to issue rectification orders. It is possible to suppress this stupid public opinion. Whenever this happens, he is glad that he has a certain amount of public opinion power in his hands. We will not do it. I don't want to do bad things, but I don't want to do something that I don't have. The purpose of having it is to protect myself and protect myself from being attacked by a small number of Internet fools with public opinion.
"Taiwan Wu, the idea for this show has always been in my mind, but I have never dared to do it, for fear that I might do something bad with my good intentions."
Wei Tao said this, and Wu Xizhong became interested. He is not a layman who doesn't understand the business at all. He knows both Running Man and The Voice. It can be said that both the model and the content are top-notch. The most valuable thing is not these, but Wei Tao's original intention.
Once something becomes popular, once it creates huge profits, once it makes more people jealous, it is bound to take action. External forces will cause some impact on the originally successful thing, and then the cause of the popularity may be affected. , the taste has changed, from being liked by everyone to being tasteless and a pity to throw away, in the end it can only taste the same.
Everyone in this industry knows that for these two variety shows, in the past few years, there have been countless people outside asking for sponsorship, and there have been too many plans added to the show to make money for the show. They are nothing more than from the TV station. The advertisements have changed to in-program advertisements. They are still advertisements anyway. Wouldn’t it be better to keep the money in your own pocket?
Anshun tells you, it’s not good.
Not only the rated number and total duration of advertisements in the program, but also the cooperation agreement on paper with the cooperative TV station. Before and after the program is broadcast, it cannot be controlled. The number and total duration of advertisements in the middle of the program are also clearly stated. Clear, accurate to the second, accurate to every time, no more.
The conditions are very harsh, but Anshun is reasonable, but when the benefits are big enough, people keep coming to talk, thinking that Anshun is a fool if he doesn't make money, so why can't he be flexible? If there are one or two more, it doesn't matter. Maybe The audience won't even notice. How much more money can be made after one season?
Adhere to the original rules, isn't Wei Tao tempted? I'm also excited, it's just money picked up for free, it starts at eight figures, who can resist money? No need to pay anything yet.
If you are tempted but don't act, you just don't want the taste of your promise to change. If you can compromise and add an ad break today, you may agree to add an extra ad to the ad tomorrow, giving you an extra twenty or thirty seconds of ad time.
Season after season, what’s the result?
Do you watch programs during commercials, or count the number of product placements and commercial breaks that appear in a program?
For this reason, Wei Tao would rather give up part of the profits to show his attitude and completely shut up those who want to speak in the future.
Mr. Wei took a step back, gave enough face, and made further demands. When the program and the TV station parted ways, no one would say that he, Wei Tao, was ungrateful and unconventional.
"Come and listen."
Wei Tao pondered for a moment before speaking: "The program can be produced at most one season a year, and the recording time should not exceed two months. If necessary, it can be intensively filmed and shortened to one and a half months. Second, the program may have a high degree of freedom. I hope that when some sounds appear, the TV station can help the program team to support them. Of course, I will personally participate in the setting of the program itself initially, and there will be a place to name the main theme accordingly, but I don’t want the program to become formatted in the end. It became a very 'friendly' show."
Um?
This time, even Bao Xiqian was curious. She was a pillow person. She had chatted with Wei Tao and knew that the other person had an idea for a variety show in his mind. At first glance, it sounded a bit similar to Running Man. Now, Many TV stations are producing reality show variety shows, and most of them are imitators. But with the success of Running Man, as long as the guest lineup is strong enough, the ratings will be acceptable, the program itself will be profitable, and it can bring certain benefits to the TV station. flow.
Listening to it again today, I feel that what I heard before may not be the same thing. Why are you talking about whether the program is friendly or not?
The independence of the program is a standard requirement and the basis of cooperation. Now there are conditions. When hearing the word "friendly", both of them can't help but think of the opposite direction. Could it be that Wei Tao's new program will be a controversial program?
Wei Tao looked at the serious expressions of the two and couldn't help but laugh. He just borrowed a sentence from the show. From the peak to the decline, perhaps the word "friendly" is the most appropriate explanation in terms of content.
"Sun Meili, Huang Bo, Huang Sanshi, plus one EXO member, this is the fixed lineup. The final guest lineup is all male, six to seven people. The program will be open to freedom and there will be no restrictions. The program team will advance When making the script, it needs to be divided into several groups to supplement later. Each link is not one, two or several directions of travel, but all the guests can freely express themselves."
Yes, it's the 'chicken strip' that was destroyed by external forces - "Extreme Challenge". In the true sense, it only has three and a half seasons of an unsurpassable god-level variety show.
Huang Sanshi's words in the fifth season revealed the true meaning of the brokenness of god-level programs - when did Jichao become a friendly program? Because of the friendship between the guests, it’s all work, so do they have to be miserable in front of the camera? According to the script, hello, me, hello, everyone, isn't it good? After the shoot, the work was done and the money was put in the pocket.
If on the show there is betrayal, secrets, tit-for-tat, and competition, it would be fine if you meet someone with a big belly, but if you meet someone who is petty or sour-faced, even if you know it is fake, I will feel that you are in front of the camera. He was targeted in the program, and when he was unhappy, he got angry or even lost his temper. Even if he caused some trouble, the gain would outweigh the loss.
Wei Tao didn't want to be the person who ruined this show, so he had been thinking that it was best not to show it. To be honest, the show was a classic, but it also ruined the actors, Sun Meili and Huang Bo. You can say that they They have exhausted their talents, but it cannot be denied that filming variety shows involves too much experience, which caused the quality of their works to decline during that period. After that, their personal performance styles improved very little and were even criticized for resting on their laurels.
Fortunately, he has summed up some experience in this regard. As for Running Man, it is no longer an honor to clock in and complete attendance. It's hard for others to say. Big baby, including Brother Chao who has seen through it, has asked for leave more than once and has not filmed Running Man. Treat it as the whole of your career. When it comes to acting, acting is the focus, and other jobs need to be adjusted for the focus.
It's not good to have two seasons of Running Man a year. Now we have to do "Chicken Strips", one season a year, to compress the time and focus on filming, without delaying everyone's own work, and without being homogenized due to too many variety shows. Wei Tao doesn't know how much he can change. Anyway, he has a clear conscience. After that, he will start making money first.
I have a clear conscience, and it’s natural to make money. If I don’t take it out, sooner or later it will be taken out, so it’s better to just let me earn it.
It is not difficult to talk to these people.
EXO removes the chicken strips and still has lamb.
Running Man will go to one, and will also start a model of increasing the number of permanent guests, but the number of permanent guests in each episode will not increase. There may be some who ask for leave, which is an unspeakable regret for old fans of the show, but this regret brings Labor pains, Wei Tao felt it was necessary, compared to reducing the fixed two seasons a year by half? Obviously, the adjustment of the number of times fixed guests record programs and the adjustment of the recording cycle are more reasonable and more acceptable to fans and audiences.
………………
The next day, Wei Tao went to a virtual currency meeting in the morning. This meeting is still going on. The scale is much smaller. It is not that it is not taken seriously, but it is taken more seriously. The general direction has been formulated. Now it is all action meetings and summaries. Wei Tao would occasionally be invited to meetings, and he would also come to listen during meetings, but still did not express any opinions.
In the eyes of others, he was playing tricks on himself, pretending to be an expert, and no one could get those thoughts out of his belly.
Wei Tao is reducing his participation, and his ultimate goal is not to participate.
He left after more than an hour and returned to Anshun Building. Yanjing had been involved for such a long time and did not return to his hometown. Firstly, it was because Cao Xiyu finished the competition in Europe and seemed to have exceeded his own limits. He has been crazy about increasing the intensity of training recently. Learn newer things; the other is to reduce everyone's attention to Songjiang, so as not to affect the mother's life. To prevent problems every day, it is better to stop everyone's attention.
It can be regarded as taking advantage of the trend to achieve multiple goals with one stone.
The company is very lively now, and all departments are well-equipped. At first, we were not worried about the empty space in one building. With Jinfeng Security Company here, there would not be a shortage of people. Gradually, the number of people in each branch and department became full. People who once invested in Anshun Of all the staff, the youngest is now a team leader, leading three or four people in his small team to track each project.
There is a whole floor of living, leisure and entertainment areas, and the supporting employee benefits of Anshun are very high. They are not afraid of spending money and dare to spend money to do the best, giving employees the richest life welfare experience during working hours in the company.
It’s the most basic thing to eat for free, and the standard of the food is enough to make all the female employees cry out to lose weight but can’t bear it. The crayfish in the summer, employees can invite their colleagues to eat and drink here after get off work, which is completely Such activities as company team building can be completed without leaving the company. Then you can feel confident that the company will contact the taxi or driver to ensure that you can go home with confidence. If you have any problems, you can track the taxi or driver. drive.
Wei Tao likes to eat at the company. For those employees who cannot see their bosses from the beginning to the end of the year, you are guaranteed to see each other in the cafeteria. Unless guests are invited, no one will use the private rooms in the restaurant. Wei Tao Guan Jinyue, Bao Xiqian and others will all eat in the restaurant hall.
Everyone who enters the restaurant, or every newcomer who joins the job, will be specifically informed that in the living, entertainment and leisure area on this floor, an ordinary employee is no different from the company boss. You don’t need to hesitate to follow him. If you are not allowed to say hello to your manager, vice president or boss, you will be spared the embarrassment of hesitation.
Just pretend that the other person doesn't exist, make eye contact, nod and smile. I came across this while playing table tennis and billiards. There was a spot where I could compete with the boss.
There is no embarrassment for middle-level and above, and no worries for ordinary employees. Over time, everyone has become accustomed to it. When eating in the restaurant, there is no need to deliberately avoid the leader or find ways to create opportunities to get closer. Everything is unnecessary. When Anshun Film and Television moved in, this principle became a benefit. It was a pity that the employees were embarrassed to ask for autographs and photos with celebrities, which would be despised by everyone around them.
[The boss has created such a good environment for everyone to get close to celebrities, but you still act like you have never seen the world. How embarrassing. 】
Wei Tao found a seat at random. There was no one around him, but there was someone diagonally opposite the four-person rectangular dining table. The person was an old employee. He raised his head and said with a smile: "Mr. Wei, today's peppercorn chicken is particularly delicious."
"Oh, then I have to get one."
The new employee sitting near the old employee saw that Mr. Wei actually went to get a portion of peppercorn chicken. His heart was beating wildly, and he let out a long breath without hiding his nervousness.
The old employee turned around and looked at each other, and said with a smile: "In this company, don't think too much about messy things. This is not a utopia, but in my mind, this is very close to a pure company that only focuses on work ability. Relax. Again. Let me tell you a secret. The boss is face-blind. Even if you say something to him, he won’t be able to remember your face. He will turn around and want to retaliate against you. He won’t even recognize you when he looks at the photos in the company’s database.”
Similar jokes have been a reassurance given by old employees to new employees since the beginning. Wei Tao is not face-blind, and is now said to be face-blind, because many old employees were also told by their seniors that they are not face-blind. It has been confirmed that no employee has been targeted for doing anything wrong at this level.
Wei Tao has unhealthy eating problems, which will be a problem that almost everyone will have in the future.
The problem of people with low heads.
The best companion for going to the toilet is your mobile phone.
The best companion for transportation and work is your mobile phone.
The essential item that can be paired with delicious food when eating, mobile phone.
While browsing the Internet on his phone, he ate his meal. The old employee diagonally across from him finished his meal and simply cleared away his plate. He didn’t bother to say hello to the boss and said, “I’m done, please eat slowly.” Wei Tao didn’t need to listen to the surroundings. To show politeness, everyone is just like eating in some snack food court. When they have to share a table, everyone does their own thing. There is no need to put social greeting etiquette here.
A large glass of iced Coke, a bowl of golden soup, Wei Tao ate for more than 20 minutes, and then he got up to clean up the dishes and food waste in front of him. Finally, he picked up the wet wipes on the table and put them away. Wipe down the area where you have eaten, and throw the wipes into the trash can next to the table that only has 'reception' wipes.
Food waste is placed in the dinner plate and taken to the corner. The garbage is dumped and the dinner plate is placed in a special container.
Rules become habits, and habits become subconscious behavior patterns.
After leaving the restaurant, turn into the water bar on the side.
The water bar that supplies the entire building is different from each department's own water bar. It can make various drinks and provide them to all employees. A free milk tea shop is placed in the company. Since it is free, Wei Tao's In theory, all benefits are provided in one step. Just give the benefits to the top. We just don’t have the Starbucks brand. The materials and equipment used are all of the same level. As for the process, it is relatively simplified and is only for faster service. people.
You can come directly to the queue to order a drink, or you can make a reservation directly at the workstation through the computer's internal LAN.
One or two drinks for one or two people, place your order and pick it up yourself.
If there are seven or eight people in an office or near a workstation, after ordering, someone will bring it down from upstairs.
A theory derived from the original Anshun Investment has also been implemented in practice. If an investment is successful, Wei Tao will earn more than three melons and two dates. Therefore, from Wei Tao to Guan Jinyue, they all pay great attention to employees' working hours. work efficiency.
Bonuses are the best support for your enthusiasm for work outside working hours. High project bonuses will make every employee, no matter how lazy they are, hope to complete an income-generating job or their own job within a certain period of time. The former will get a high bonus. bonus, the latter gets a guaranteed bonus.
Since Mao Ya also moved here, the whole building has become a lot more lively, and the number of ordinary service staff has nearly doubled. Training is currently being carried out to continue to increase the number of employees.
The restaurant provides positions for some middle-aged people, while the water bar specifically reserves positions for some college students to work part-time, and cooperates with multiple universities. The school and Anshun provide double guarantees to ensure that poor students can get safety and benefits from basic part-time jobs. double protection.
Wei Tao was very hands-off in other matters. He didn't even look at projects involving tens of millions, and it didn't matter to him to sign them. For Guan Jinyue, it was done just by signing.
On the contrary, in a place like this that some people think is a trivial matter, not only do I personally provide suggestions on the design, but I am also responsible for reviewing when there is nothing wrong.
You can ignore the project, but you can have zero tolerance for what employees eat and drink. You are not afraid of making mistakes. What you are afraid of is not taking such things seriously. Mr. Wei went to the kitchen to check the ingredients. That was not two things at a time. times. Therefore, when Wei Tao appeared at the company's headquarters, the employees working in each branch were not nervous. Only the logistics department, which involves all departments and people serving the company's employees, were the most nervous.
Many employees say that when working in Anshun, the basic salary may not be high, but the bonus system is the best, and the happiness of working here is the strongest. Similarly, the pressure of working here is also the greatest, no When the basic standards make you breathless, you put pressure on yourself and don't want to become mediocre.
I ordered a cup of caramel macchiato. It was a big cup, warm and very sugary. The explosion of sweetness and heat made the employees around me look in disbelief. You know, although the boss has never taken a photo, he has posted it on the Internet. There are photos of the boss circulating on the Internet, including photos of him and Damimi taken by the paparazzi at the beach. At one time, the focus was on the two of them, and then on Dada and Dada. In the later period, until now, the focus is on Mr. Wei's figure makes men feel ashamed and women cover their faces.
The photos that were secretly taken and enlarged from a distance were made by special people to take single photos of Wei Tao. Those photos full of hormones, many girls with good figure, used them as their own screensavers, and even these girls on the Internet initiated A vote, hoping to be seen by Wei Tao, and a screenshot of the vote was posted in the Weibo comment area of Damimi Dababy and other people who knew Wei Tao.
Those are daily photos. Is there any fraud? Could it be that photos like that are also P’s?
But it’s not false. Coke is served in the restaurant and such sweet coffee is served in the water bar. This makes us who are cautious about sugar, how embarrassed it is!
