Section 200: Good Chinese Actors
After a while, Du An didn't see Han Sanping speak, but when he saw him lowering his eyebrows and silence, he obviously had a lot of thoughts.
It is very simple to say an idea, and it may also look beautiful, but to truly implement it, there are many more things to consider: for example, whether the influence can be as great as they imagined, whether a certain TV station can agree to broadcast their auditions, whether someone will sign up, and whether the audience will like to watch... These are all things that need to be considered. The implementation of a project is never determined by just patting your forehead.
Moreover, the above mentioned are just big problems that Han Sanping suddenly came out of his mind. Countless small details will be presented slowly during the implementation process, and these need to be considered in advance. Of course, when sitting in their position, you only need to consider some directional major issues. The specific plan can be left to the team below to do.
Han Sanping thought for a long time, but Du An didn't urge him. He just held the teacup and drank water quietly. After a while, he heard Han Sanping ask, "Can the influence be great?"
Du An smiled and said, "It should be possible."
"The sensation caused by last year's "Super Girl" is still vivid in my mind, and it makes two ordinary little girls, An Youqi and Zhang Hanyun, jump directly into national idols. It has a great influence, so you can imagine."
At this time, Shu Yu added: "This year's Super Girl schedule has also ended, and the popularity of the championship, runner-up and third place is even more popular than last year."
Du An nodded and said to Han Sanping: "San Master, look at it."
Han Sanping certainly knew about this, and he was concerned about another aspect. "But Director Du, we should also see that after the popularity of "Super Girl" last year, some satellite TV stations have also begun to imitate and produce their own talent shows. Now the competition is very fierce. What are our advantages compared to them?" Han Sanping shook his head when he said this. "Singing is something that everyone can sing, but acting is not everyone can do. This has invisibly reduced our selection and greatly narrowed the range of contestants. So we have not only no advantages over them, but also congenital disadvantages."
They are all people in the entertainment industry. Han Sanping naturally knows about such a popular variety show as "Super Girl". He also understands that in this innovative talent show. The participation of the whole nation, the diversity of contestants is a highlight, and the audience is all about the word "grassroots". If you can't do it at this point and you are all selected professionals, then the viewability of the program has been greatly reduced and the competitiveness has been weakened.
If you can't even compete for other programs, then don't talk about influence, it's just a waste of manpower and material resources.
But in Duane's opinion, this is not a problem.
"Acting is indeed not something that everyone can do, we can prepare for both. On the one hand, I will select some actors through the actors' union and invite them to participate in this audition. On the other hand, it will be widely convened across the country and under the banner of creating grassroots stars."
Han Sanping understood what Du An mean, "You mean, behind-the-scenes operation?"
Duane nodded, "That's about that, but this secret operation is limited. We just inserted some suitable people into this large number of uneven personnel to prevent the final championship from being too outrageous. As for who won the championship in the end, or follow the situation."
Han Sanping understood. After thinking about it, he nodded, "Yes." He immediately raised the previous question again, "So what are our advantages?"
What Du An just said is that he can only ensure that the final champion candidate is in their interests, so he will not choose a half-baked guy who doesn’t know how to act. However, the advantages are not explained.
If a certain effect cannot be achieved and is destroyed by everyone, then there is no need to hold this audition competition.
“The advantages are clear.”
Duane has been thinking about this idea for several days, so he immediately said one by one, "First of all, our direction has an advantage."
"I asked Mr. Shu to conduct an investigation before and found that the following works that are emerging now revolve around singing, and there is no other aspect. At this time, we are creating a talent show for movie characters and taking the differentiated competition route. We are unique in content, which is our advantage."
“Secondly, we also have an advantage in adhesion to the audience.”
"What can the players get after winning the championship in other competitions? It's just two aspects,"
Duane said, compared to his right index finger, "One, popularity," and then raised his middle finger, "Two, chance to release a record."
"These things are quite false, and the audience cannot have an intuitive feeling about it, but we are different because we give real things, a main character in a movie with the highest investment amount in history, a collaboration with five or six first-line stars, and a top director like Zhang Yi. This is something that can be seen and very specific, so the audience is also prone to a sense of substitution. When they have a sense of substitution, their adhesion increases."
“Those are our strengths.”
After Du An finished speaking, he saw that Han Sanping was in deep thought again, so he simply threw out some real information.
"In addition, we can also innovate in content. For example, in the 16-to-8-to-4 schedule, we can invite some first-line stars to participate in the program production, give these contestants professional tutoring and training in acting, reciting, body shape, etc., and play all of these things out, so that the audience can watch it, create a feeling of growing up with the contestants, increase their adhesion, and satisfy the audience's desire to watch stars. Watch grassroots talent shows and stars, which is much more attractive than a simple reality show."
Han Sanping looked at Du An deeply: He could see that Du An came prepared. I believe he had thought deeply about this plan and considered it in all aspects.
In this way, Han Sanping didn't want to ask some of the things about this plan itself, and asked the last question directly: "How much investment? What is the expected benefits?"
Cost and benefits are two of the two most concerned aspects of his businessman.
"The investment may cost tens of millions, probably not more than fifty millions, and I haven't calculated it carefully,"
Du An's answer made Han Sanping frown. He knew that Han Sanping felt sorry for the money.
Yes, Du An’s plan can be regarded as a publicity session. He didn’t even shoot the scene and threw 50 million in the publicity. He didn’t know what the effect was. Anyone would hesitate.
Duane had long been calculating about this and said the following words: "We don't have to bear this money ourselves, and it can be transferred to the TV station."
"Now, major satellite TV stations are still integrated with production and broadcasting, but I think it can change. We will make a program and sell the program to the TV station, and take the route of separation of production and broadcasting. As long as a TV station buys our program, our cost will be recovered, and we may even make a profit."
This is also one of the reasons why Duane came up with such a plan: he was driven crazy by the production funding.
Three hundred million seems to be a lot, but special effects cost money. So many celebrities cost money. I really don’t know if 300 million is enough, so he simply put his brains on it, wanting to make some extra money and increase production funds.
Han Sanping hesitated for a while and asked, "Will the TV station buy it?"
Duane nodded affirmatively, "Super Girl" made major satellite TV stations jealous. If a good project comes out and the production level is good, I believe many people will want to buy it."
The problem took a long time to go around and it came to one point, that is, can the project Duane wants to do have such charm to make the TV station pay for money and make the audience like to watch it?
To put it another way, this question is whether to believe in Duane's ability.
Han Sanping hesitated again.
He still believes in Duane's directorial ability, otherwise he would not have abandoned so many big directors and came to Duane specifically. However, can Duane play such an unfamiliar field as talent shows?
Du An looked at Han Sanping, thought twice, and said decisively: "Then I will take responsibility for this project after separation, and I will bear the profit and loss at your own risk."
These words made Han Sanping look up at him several times.
Very courage and strong confidence.
Shu Yu exchanged his left and right hands on his knees.
She knew Duane, who was familiar with her, knew that this kid was using a trick again.
Sure enough, Han Sanping thought for a while and said with a smile: "Director Du, don't act irritating. 50 million is not a small amount after all, and it is all part of the project. There is no reason to let you take risks alone. This is not the case for business... I have no objection here for the time being, and your plan will be included in the project." After saying that, he looked at Shu Yu, "Where are you, Mr. Shu?"
Shu Yu shook her head, "I have no objection."
Han Sanping finally made a decision, "Okay, the matter will be settled for the time being. After the risk assessment report is released, if it is acceptable, then I will issue a press release. Do you have any opinions?"
Du An and Shu Yu both expressed no objection.
At this point, even if the crew's project establishment matters have been basically established, they can issue a press release to the world when the risk assessment report for the last temporary project is released. So the three of them relaxed and started chatting.
As they chatted, Han Sanping shifted the topic to the project they were talking about just now, "...What's the name of that audition competition? Director Du, do you have any ideas?"
Du An had thought about this question several times in private and came up with several names. Now when Han Sanping asked, he picked out the answer that satisfies him the most so far.
"How about "The Good Chinese Actors"?"
Han Sanping thought about it for a while and nodded, "It sounds good." (To be continued.) Mobile users, please visit http://m.piaotian.net
