Chapter two hundred and eighty eighth
Xu Jinglei wanted to give the sketch to Lin Zixuan. Lin Zixuan gave her a book, and she gave a sketch back, which was considered a kind of courtesy.?〔 <(
She then felt that it was inappropriate, a bit like the feeling of young men and women giving gifts to each other in school, which felt strange.
After thinking about it, Lin Zixuan didn't think about it until he left, so he could only fold the sketch carefully and put it on his body.
The movie "Two Us" requires two actors by looking at the name of it, and Lin Xiaoling also needs to find the candidate to play the old lady.
This old lady cannot find someone to act casually, she needs to find an old actor who knows how to act.
In the Beijing entertainment industry, such old actors are either in the Beijing film studio or in the Beijing drama theater. They are all old seniors in the industry. They are not something that Lin Xiaoling, who has not graduated, can be hired. They have to ask for someone.
Besides, this is a student's work and cannot afford to pay too high a salary.
Lin Zixuan was thinking about this matter. Chen Xiaoyi and Xu Fan both worked in the Beijing Theater, asking them to help see which old actors have good personalities and are willing to support the film career of young people.
After finding the right person, hand over the script of "The Two of Us" to explain the situation.
After all, the filming cycle of this film is too long, it takes one or two years, and the average movie is only a few months, and the old lady’s pay cannot exceed 30,000 yuan.
Lin Xiaoling and the others made a budget and it would take at least 10,000 yuan to shoot "The Two of Us". They didn't get a salary themselves. If the actor's pay was too high, they might pay.
Compared with Jia Zhangke, Lin Xiaoling's crew is already considered happy.
After arranging the outdoor scene, Xiaoling's next job was to communicate with those interested old actors and persuade them to join the crew. This is a very training job.
Old actors are generally more principled or stubborn.
In this process, Lin Xiaoling will learn how to communicate with actors and how to pass on her own ideas to others.
By filming this drama, she can learn how to be a qualified director, which is a stage that every director must go through.
At the same time, the first episode of "Shanshan Interview Record" produced by Mu Shanshan was recorded.
The whole recording process was very easy. She and Jiang Wen were very familiar with each other and didn’t need to prepare too much, just like a chat between friends.
This is different from Mu Shanshan hosting programs on Chinese TV. Without the restrictions within the system, we can talk about relatively bold and sensitive topics, and of course we will not go beyond the standards set by the General Administration.
After being a host for so many years, Mu Shanshan can grasp the measure.
In this way, the program will appear novel and interesting, more in-depth, and can attract the audience's interest.
After recording the program, Mu Shanshan sent the video tape of the program to various TV stations and familiar manufacturers. Next, we will see if any TV stations are willing to purchase the broadcast rights of the program.
As for sending it to major manufacturers, it is for the purpose of naming the program.
Once the manufacturer invests in the title of "Shanshan Interview", the manufacturer's advertisements will appear in every episode of the program in the future.
Most of these manufacturers have cooperated with Lin Zixuan and are strong in strength. They are suitable for the program "Shanshan Interview" and are basically engaged in the pharmaceutical and food industries.
This type of company is in a period of rapid development and is not short of money at all.
Lin Zixuan chose very cautiously, and he excluded companies that may have product quality problems.
"Is it too early to find a naming agent now? Isn't it better to wait until this program is broadcast on TV? The price of naming may be higher at that time." Mu Shanshan said in confusion.
"Let the wind be heard first and see their reactions." Lin Zixuan said calmly.
In China, the separation of production and broadcasting of TV programs began in the 1980s, but due to the restrictions of the domestic system, there has not been much progress, and major TV stations are exploring.
The TV series production unit was separated first, followed by variety shows and entertainment programs.
TV stations are not opposed to introducing TV programs. As long as the program ratings are high, it can attract the attention of advertisers.
If "Shanshan Interview" already has a sponsor, it will give the TV station confidence and believe that this program can bring advertising revenue.
After the video tape was sent out, Mu Shanshan received many inquiries, asking about the price of the program. Most TV stations just asked, but they did not have much sincerity.
Only a few TV stations have the intention, and Xiangjiang's Phoenix TV is one of them.
However, the TV station made some requests, and they suggested that Mu Shanshan would better talk about more topics that are of interest to the audience in Xiangjiang in future programs.
The choice of topics can be more forward-looking, controversial and bolder.
This is because the broadcast scale of Xiangjiang Media is large, and the more controversial the topic, the more interested the audience is, and the higher the ratings are.
However, Mu Shanshan's program is not specially customized for Xiangjiang audiences. There are 800 million TV viewers in the mainland. From a long-term perspective, of course, the mainland market should be mainly based on the mainland market.
After Mu Shanshan rejected Phoenix TV's request, there was no news about the TV station.
The Southern Huacheng TV station is also interested and is willing to pilot the program for three months or six months. If the program does not meet the expected ratings, it will be suspended.
During the pilot stage, Mu Shanshan can only be paid half of the price.
Zhejiang Provincial Satellite TV and Beijing TV gave up introducing programs after consultation.
The former thinks that Mu Shanshan's program may not be suitable for southern audiences and is too northern, while the latter is in the capital. If the topic of the program is too sensitive, it will be inconvenient for them to broadcast.
There is another TV station that surprised Lin Zixuan, that is Xiangnan Economic TV.
The director of this TV station met Lin Zixuan, named Ouyang Lin. He used to be in charge of TV series production. He just became the director of the Economic Channel this year and is considered an old friend.
He was willing to buy Mu Shanshan's program, but he had no money. He had to wait until the program was broadcast and then pay Mu Shanshan after receiving the advertising fee from the advertiser.
Ouyang Lin is a relatively smart person.
He didn't seem to have put forward any additional conditions and bought TV programs as a friend, which seemed very righteous. In fact, he didn't spend a penny to bring a high-quality program to Xiangnan Economic Television.
From this we can see that the reactions of each TV station are different.
Whether it is willing to pilot the broadcast or broadcast it first and then pay it, it means that "Shanshan Interview" has achieved success.
This is inseparable from Mu Shanshan's reputation in the hosting industry. Everyone believes that she can produce high-quality TV programs.
Mu Shanshan's program can be said to have set a precedent for the separation of production and broadcasting of Chinese variety shows. It is very topical in itself and has caused considerable waves within the TV industry. (To be continued.)8
