I want to die every day [entertainment circle]

Liu Fuqian told Xiyan a story on the phone that was short in length but very long in depth.

The former director of EBC founded this TV station when he was young. At that time, it happened to be a prosperous period of TV popularization. A group of domestic TV media people crossed the river by feeling the stones, referring to foreign variety shows, and gradually came up with something famous. Although The quality is not very good, but there are many true fans.However, later, the head of the front desk found that everything was slowly deteriorating. The so-called references became copying, and the so-called fashion became funny and grandstanding.

By the time the new director took over, only ten years had passed since the popularization of TV, but most of the variety shows were just selling the appeal of stars.

Although the content of the variety show is very complicated, games, chat, music, dance, food, quiz and outdoor reality show, no matter how lively it is, the audience just watch it to relax, there is no need to be so entangled, but in Xintai In my mind, the purpose of any public program should never be to sell excitement, but to convey substantive spiritual enjoyment, and play a role in cultivating a literary and artistic atmosphere, increasing knowledge, and improving quality.

He remembered that when his family was poor and couldn’t afford a TV, the whole family could only listen to programs around one radio, and he was happy when he heard singing and storytelling in it. This radio shaped his initial outlook on life, values ​​and world outlook, making him A poor child like him who cannot get out of the geographical confinement has a spiritual sustenance.

Why do people feel less and less like this now that all kinds of media are developed?

The current director of EBC is over 50 years old. He was diagnosed with cancer before, and the doctor said that he might not be able to survive for three years.During his life of taking over EBC, he has been committed to creating truly original programs and getting rid of the dilemma that Chinese people have to buy copyrights from abroad.

The director is probably because of his obsession too deeply, he strives for perfection to the point of obsessive-compulsive disorder, and can't invite artists with connotation to participate?So take it easy; can't find a suitable director?Let's take it easy; a certain bureau has recently made strict investigations?Then take it easy; seems to be transferred?Let's take it easy...Many people don't believe how a dignified director of the station can't produce a decent variety show after several years. He clearly holds the "life and death" power of the entire TV station, but he also has a hard time saying no out.

His high demands can still be overcome, the key is that he is not alone, he represents the image and interests of the entire station, if the action is too big, the ratings will be touching, and it is not good to waste people and money, this will be poked every minute Backbone.

To sum up, Mr. Taichang planned for too long, held it in his heart for too long, and then he reached a state of "extraordinary and holy", constantly making up in his mind but forgot to put it into practice, until the cancer diagnosis After the results came out, he felt as if there was still one big thing he hadn't done—ah, where is my clean show in the variety show circle?

Hearing this, Xi Yan felt embarrassed for the head of the station. This old man in his 50s must be of the old Wenqing nature, with a unique stubbornness and stubbornness.

Liu Fuqian also thought it was a little funny, but when he thought about the director's current physical condition, he couldn't laugh: "The civil servant's retirement time has not yet come, but he has to leave early because of cancer, and he hopes to see The preparation of the show is on the agenda, so that I can turn on the TV and watch it when I go home, this has been my wish for many years."

"What program is it?"

"Well...we initially named it 'Haiyan Heqing'." Liu Fuqian's voice sounded a bit hesitant.

"Haiyan Heqing?" Xiyan asked suspiciously, "And then? It's not just the name, is it?"

"This is..."

"Haiyan Heqing!" Ji Xiaoxiao heard Xiyan's words, leaned closer to him, and said softly, "This is the program that Lin Heng asked me to participate in. Did they invite you to participate too? The problem with the editorial team has been solved?"

Xiyan smiled shyly, and then asked Liu Fuqian: "Although I think your director's original intentions are really good, but I'm not a TV director. I'm good at filming, but not at programming. You should ask others Well, there are many other high-quality directors."

Liu Fuqian said embarrassingly: "Our director is getting more and more stubborn now, and he insists on deciding the candidate himself. Before that, we finally found a chief director, but because of a temporary accident at home, we couldn't afford to delay the director's time. Had to change."

In order to make the white moonlight in his heart more real and make people feel cute and hateful, the little old man stays in the nursing home all day looking through entertainment news. Whether it is popular songs, TV dramas, movies or variety shows, he always browses them quickly. He wants to pick out some people who are close to his eyes. The rest of his wish in this life is to make himself look comfortable, and not to worry about the ratings anymore. He is going to leave anyway. Whether it is merit or demerit, the conclusion is not up to him. It's within the scope of consideration.

"To tell you the truth, after watching "Soul Eater", the director had a bright feeling. He found all kinds of reports about you and thought that you must be competent to write and direct this program. I also persuade him that you are a film director. The director is not the TV director, he doesn't listen to me at all, and what he said is the same, with your talent, you can just go around the stage twice."

Xi Yan was about to break out in a cold sweat: "Thank you for your kindness... I really don't have any talent..." He just has a small problem of picking up details and he also used future black technology, saying that talent really cost him his life.

"Director Xi, I hope you can think about it carefully. 'Haiyan Heqing' is definitely not the kind of action competition or outdoor adventure program with a lot of activities. It will not be very difficult to get started. If you are willing to come, we are grateful .”

Liu Fuqian knew that such a request was a bit difficult, but because of the heart of the old director, the subordinates who had followed him for many years were actually unwilling to see him leave with regrets. Let the director feel comfortable, and their task is completed.

Xiyan still felt unbelievable, afraid that he would not be able to complete the cross-field task, but Ji Xiaoxiao blinked desperately to make him not refuse so quickly.

"Okay, let me think about it again, thank you for your trust."

"Thank you for your willingness to consider." Liu Fuqian hung up the phone with a smile.

"Xiaoyan, why don't you go and try it, isn't it just the director, and you didn't let yourself be the host, didn't the director just list the rules, invite a host who can live in the venue, and then sit down Just look below." Ji Xiaoxiao said.

"You put it so simply." Xiyan threw himself on the bed, stuffed two pieces of seaweed into his mouth, and bit it hard.

"Anyway, you have nothing to do these days. "Soul Eater" has just ended. Are you not tired of thinking about new dramas so soon?"

Ji Xiaoxiao's words touched Xiyan's heart.Not to mention that he is a little stuck in his thinking now, and he can't think of or pick a good script. Just the market share issue that Fu Zhichuan mentioned to him last time makes him not want to make new movies.

A piece of cake is only that big in total, and the more people share it, the less share it will get. If you meet someone who wants to cut half of the cake away at this time, it will be a proper hatred.

Xi Yan came to the fore too quickly. If "Innocence" wasn't enough to make other directors hostile, then "Soul Eater" would ignite the fire.He was raised suddenly, unlike Zhang Anguo who had an opportunity, so it was difficult for people to accept it calmly.If his trend of making better films and making more money continues, the works of other directors will be overshadowed.It’s okay to release one or two movies occasionally, but it’s scary to hit the rankings like this often.

As the saying goes, if you hit the first bird with a gun, Xiyan jumps too high all of a sudden, and the aftereffects will be serious. It would be bad if he became a target of public criticism and was not welcomed in the circle.

Moreover, he has learned a lot of experience during the filming and release of "Soul Eater", and he also wants to sort it out. He can't eat too much, and only by concentrating on research and accumulating stamina can he lay a solid foundation for the next work.

"I don't want to make new movies, but it doesn't mean I have to participate in variety shows."

"It won't hurt if you try it. After reading the general outline of the program, you can refuse if you feel that you can't do it."

Xiyan narrowed his eyes and looked at Ji Xiaoxiao: "Are you the biological child of this show? Why do you keep pushing me to participate? They will give you extra rewards if you persuade me to participate?"

"I'm like the kind of person who trades money for friends... Bah, do you trade friends for money?" Ji Xiaoxiao proudly straightened up his upper body, and after a while he felt guilty again, and his tone weakened, "I just want to... ...Lin Heng'er..."

When Lin Heng told him about this program before, although he didn't listen to the specific content carefully, he felt that Lin Heng liked its direction setting. If the program was stillborn because there was no suitable director, Lin Heng might be disappointed.

Xi Yansheng stared at him with an unlovable face: "I understand what it means to marry a daughter-in-law and forget your mother."

"Ah?" Ji Xiaoxiao picked up a pack of puffed food and hit Xiyan on the arm, "Don't take advantage of me, you, you mean to say that if you have a wife, you forget about your brother?"

Xiyan nodded in satisfaction: "It's fine if you admit it."

It took Ji Xiaoxiao three seconds to realize that Xiyan was quoting her. He was so angry that he grabbed the pillow and chased Xiyan to beat him. Tired of running and fell down together.

"Actually, I'm quite curious about variety shows." Xiyan panted, "Maybe I can go and see, even if I can't help you in the end, it's good to gain some insight."

It's always good to have a good relationship with the TV station.

"Haha, then it's settled."

Ji Xiaoxiao was thirsty from running and wanted to drink the milk tea on the bed, but when she stretched out her hand and leaned forward, her foot slipped on the clean floor tiles, and she fell forward immediately.

The milk tea cup was poked to death on the spot by his finger, and under Xiyan's horrified gaze, the light brown liquid mixed with pearl hula la poured all over the sheets and quilts.

Ji Xiaoxiao fell so dumbfounded, two colorful characters flickered in his head: dog leash.
