Chapter 8 Propaganda (Part 2) (1/3)
With the popularity of reality shows, one can imagine the survival dilemma of indoor variety shows!
Especially traditional talk shows like "A Date with Lu and Yu" have not been paid attention to anymore...
Think about it for yourself, the last time "A Date with Lu Yu" was released was the awkward conversation with Liang Jiahui, about the famous "daughter falling in love".
In fact, the popularity of "A Date with Lu and Yu" has a lot to do with the general environment. At that time, the main TV resources were concentrated on CCTV, and CCTV's interview programs, as we all know, were relatively old and simple in format for various reasons.
, and it is not friendly to the entertainment industry and cannot meet the needs of people's rapidly expanding star-chasers.
Phoenix Satellite TV saw an opportunity and wanted to make a Chinese version of "The Oprah Show", so they created "A Date with Lu and Yu".
During the window period of entertainment programs, "A Date with Lu and Yu" became very popular, but with the follow-up of local TV stations, especially Internet platforms, they began to produce some self-made variety shows...
Many people say that "A Date with Lu and Yu" is embarrassing. If you watch Yan Geling's episode, you will probably be angry...
Lu Yu asked Yan Geling, are you more sad when your father dies or when your mother dies?
this?
Is this a problem?
Then I could only look at Yan Geling with tears in her eyes and say it was her mother...
If it's followed by, 'Really? I don't believe it, (ask the audience) do you believe it?'
It is estimated that the scene will explode...
Back to the topic, one of Lu Yu's few advantages is probably that he is neither humble nor arrogant in front of anyone. He has the same attitude when facing Wang Jianlin, and Dong Mingzhu is the same - he said in front of Dong Mingzhu, "We don't use Gree at home."
!
Lu Yu is quite grateful to Shen Changlin for accepting an exclusive interview with "Big Shot One Day"...
This program is her attempt to transform, and Shen Changlin is the guest in the first episode!
To express my gratitude, I collected some materials.
What?
Isn’t it normal for the host to collect materials?
Haha, the host is the host, and Lu Yu is Lu Yu!
As long as she knew a little about the interviewer, she wouldn't have said something like, "Since there is no rice, why can't we eat meat?"
This is her hosting habit.
I remember that there was a "wonderful" conversation between Yue Yunpeng and Lu Yu.
Yue Yunpeng said that he came to BJ alone at the age of sixteen without even a pair of shoes. They looked like shoes, but in fact the soles were almost worn out. He had a good life after meeting Guo Degang...
What do you think Lu Yu asked?
She asked, "When you came to BJ, did you make a plan about what you were going to do this year and what results you were going to get next year?"
Why not eat minced meat?
At that time, Yue Yunpeng just wanted to have a new pair of shoes, so thank God. He also had a career plan. Is this what a starving and cold child who cannot afford to go to school because his family is poor should consider?
…
"We are going to meet Director Shen Changlin today. His new work "Detective Chinatown" is scheduled for the Spring Festival next month. He is expected to be very busy, so we can only take the time to chat with him..."
Lu Yu introduced to the camera.
Then I followed the filming team to Shen Changlin's company, and Shen Changlin was being interviewed by Sina Films...
She first chatted with Guo Songjiang for a while and asked, 'Is Director Shen a little nervous about Director Xingxing last week?'
Guo Songjiang smiled and said: "He is not nervous, he must be excited after a long absence!"
"excited?"
"To put it bluntly, I haven't seen him like this for many years..."
Guo Songjiang then added: "Director Shen has an unparalleled sense of smell when it comes to commercial films. We have also held many internal test screenings of "Detective Chinatown" and have always given the best reviews of the year!"
“…What about the box office?”
"That's why we have to promote it so hard. After all, Zhou Xingxing is a myth!"
Over there, Shen Changlin is chatting with Sina Movies about movie trailers...
The trailer of "Detective Chinatown" doesn't look like a masterpiece at first glance - high-speed cutting, all the action is explosive and screaming scenes, paired with Wang Baoqiang who looks like he hasn't bathed in ten thousand years with big gold teeth, big oil Wei Xiang, a sharp trio with distorted facial features, Chang Yuan, Shen Teng, Allen and Gao Haibao...
It gives people a low-end look and feel, akin to Wang Jing’s early shit-and-pee three vulgar movies...
"What you are watching is the first version of the trailer, and the second version is the horror version...also called the suspense version..."
The first version of the trailer was deliberately cut like this to increase the sense of comedy...
"I have read a lot of mysteries, including Ellery Quinn, the peak classical decryption writer, Akiko Utano, the Japanese mystery writer, Jack Futrell, the author of the "Genius Professor Van Dusen" series, and Yu Aosaki, the new-school mystery writer. Goichi, Agatha Christie, Edogawa Ranpo...the more I saw them, the more I thought about them, and then I shot them!"
"The reasoning part is actually quite difficult to innovate. Keigo Higashino once complained in "The Code of Detectives" that everything you want to write can be combined with existing plots. It can be seen that it is too difficult to innovate as a reasoning subject. Senior We have already written everything we can. All we juniors can do is be creative in our tasks..."
After talking about the movie part, people from Sina asked about "Mermaid"...
He asked about pre-sales being twice as high as "Detective Chinatown"...
That's right, "Mermaid" pre-sales exceeded 100 million, and "Tang Detective" sold 60 million, which is nearly double!
Shen Changlin thought for a while, and then said: "I am looking forward to the movie "Mermaid". Zhou Xingxing's movie is a kind of magic. When you complain that there are no good programs to watch and change the channel, once you have him Even if you have watched the movie countless times, you will still stop and watch it again..."
"Xingxing Zhou is the only movie brand in the past ten years that, even if it is a little disappointing, has not made the audience feel cheated... Therefore, it is understandable that the audience will be optimistic about "Mermaid"!"
"However, I still feel that "Detective Chinatown" has no chance at all!"
…
After the Sina Film interview ended, Shen Changlin asked the staff to leave them alone, and then went to meet Lu Yu's team.
Lu Yu first said hello: "Long time no see!"
"yes…"
The last time we met was when Shen Changlin's first movie "Xiu Chun Dao" was released, and he went to promote the movie...
It must have been six years ago!
The staff served tea, the photography team set up their cameras, and the interview officially began.
It was different from what Shen Changlin imagined. Lu Yu talked more about him as a person. At least in the first half, he talked about his views on movies, his views on fame and so on...
He even directly asked, "When are you, Zhubi, going to marry Shi Shi?"
Although Shen Changlin is a little dissatisfied - I accepted your interview to promote the movie!
But she still replied: "Any time, as long as she is willing..."
"She doesn't want to now, does she?"
"At least now, she would rather have a career than become a man's wife!"
Okay, Shen Changlin is a bit biased...
This is Lu Yu’s specialty!
It's impossible to make up an hour just talking about movies.
So, I will first talk about some of the things that are available and not available...
But almost all variety shows will become the same type in the end, and this promotion, "A Day Trip with Big Shots" is no exception.
How can there be so much past experience to talk about?
""Detective Chinatown" is a movie I have always wanted to make, but I never had the right time..."
"The right time?" Lu Yu interrupted him. Shen Changlin was stunned for a moment, and then explained: "I have seven or eight projects in hand that are being promoted at the same time. The market prospects of dramas like "Tang Detective" that focus on suspense and reasoning are How, no one knows! They advised me to put "Tang Detective" on first..."
"But then, I thought, there is no need to put myself in a cage... So what if I shoot? So what if I fail?"

Something happened tonight...
