The King of Variety Entertainment

On Tuesday, Yang An recorded a program outside for a day, and took Sha Bei to dinner together in the evening. He Jiong invited the two of them, together with Tang Tao, the chief director of Talent Show, and the four big men had dinner in a petty bourgeois western restaurant , always feels weird.

What the hell is Teacher He doing?

It took Sha Bei five minutes to find a parking space on the crowded roadside, turned off the engine and unbuckled his seat belt, and complained a bit: You should go to the farm when you drink, and you should be in the office when you talk about business. You should have dinner and work in a western restaurant. This is neither fish nor fowl!

This guy is still very wary of He Jiong. Yang An chuckled secretly, got out of the car and closed the door, and said, It's better to be quiet, I like it here. I'm almost exhausted from recording running men for the past two weeks, but you still have energy. Driving, I said ask the driver to deliver it, or take a taxi, and you don’t need to call the driver if you are drinking, but you don’t listen... I know, you are showing off the new car that Volkswagen gave you!

Sha Bei was stunned, and when he pressed the key, there were two beeps, and the imported Yeti, which had not yet been registered, lighted up twice, and he said happily: The cheapest imported car costs more than 300,000 yuan, okay? , why not give it to me?

Yang An joked with a smile: Look at your talents, I will accept BMW's advertisement next year and ask them to send me a hybrid i9!

Sha Bei was speechless, and kept shaking her head: You are still ruthless, the i9 must have exceeded 3 million when it first came out! BMW is willing to give it away?

The two talked and laughed all the way, pushed open the door and walked in, the waiter just shouted welcome, the voice stopped abruptly, and the names of Yang An and Sha Bei were called out in surprise, Yang An smiled and said: Hello, we are here for dinner Yes, can you take us to private room C42? Thank you!

The waiter excitedly called the foreman, and the foreman was also very excited. He personally sent the two of them to the private room on the second floor, and then notified the front desk to ask the most beautiful and sensible waiter to come over and wait for the service.

He Jiong and Tang Tao were already waiting. After saying hello, they helped to pick up their coats and pull out the chairs. The waiter brought hot towels to wipe their hands. The four of them ordered their favorite dishes. The red wine had already woken up. He Jiong Pour it to everyone, and when everything is done, close the door and start chatting.

He Jiong first toasted and apologized: I'm really sorry, I only talk about work when I invite the boss to dinner at night. I know you are very busy recording programs during the day, and I am really in a hurry.

Yang An smiled and clinked glasses with him: For the sake of paying for the meal, I don't care about it, just tell me.

Everyone took a sip, and He Jiong said: First of all, congratulations to the second season of Running Man for getting off to a good start. The ratings of the first episode were 4.55%. Once again, the country is proud of the country. No one in the industry's producer circle dares to speak. The highest ratings for a variety show are only 2%, and everyone can only look at the running man Yiqi Juechen, and they can't even envy him!

Both Tang Tao and Sha Bei were a little proud,

But Yang An waved his hand and said: There is nothing to be proud of. It can only be said that Running Man has a good foundation in front of him. The reputation of the show and the audience base are very good. The second season is just a matter of course. The same is true for The Voice of China. No problem, the ratings of the semi-final finals jumped up immediately, and after two consecutive seasons, it became an internationally renowned brand, and the copyright was sold overseas. I think China's Got Talent should be like this, as long as the early stage does not Beng, the ratings will continue to rise in the future, and after two or three years of broadcasting, it will be sold to European and American countries, and it will become a classic again!

Sha Bei joked: Why are the words from Brother Yang's mouth so simple?

Yang An said with a smile: Don't believe me, ABC, NBC and BBC have contacted me to give priority to my new program, especially NBC, which is very proactive and enthusiastic. You know Fox TV's American Idol, right? NBC bought my and played group arena with Fox for several years, evenly matched. Now I am not satisfied, I want more, and completely suppress Fox. So, you still don't have to worry about China Can't the copyright of Got Talent be sold?

Everyone laughed: Don't worry, someone has been taken advantage of!

In fact, Yang An hasn't finished talking yet. In addition to these developed countries, India, Vietnam, and two small European countries have all contacted him. I hope to contact them when there are new programs. Like India's Got Talent is definitely very interesting. With a feeling, this country is on the verge of opening up, and what he most wants to see is a talent show where more than 20 people appear on the stage, standing on a motorcycle and waving.

He Jiong took out the plan from his briefcase and handed it over: The audition work in the early stage of the talent show is almost done, and the recording will officially start next Friday night. There are more than 4,000 groups in the audition list from Director Tang. We These three weeks are mainly for selection and elimination, trying to select the 400 candidates with the highest level of talent, the big list has come out, and they are all here.

Yang An took a rough look at the plan. This set of plans was revised based on the same template as Good Voice, and it has the characteristics of its own program. It keeps pace with the times, but Yang An doesn't know how the effect will be. Jiong's final list of 400 groups came out, and then they personally checked, and then eliminated the last 50%, leaving 200 groups, the program can start production.

He Jiong handed over another USB flash drive, and added: The rough-cut video has been sorted and counted, and it is stored in this 64G USB flash drive. It was given to me by Director Tang. According to the regulations, I cannot watch it.

Yang An took it over: I'll go back and have a look after dinner, and I'll give you the results tomorrow.

Sha Bei, who was cutting the steak, was a little curious: 400 sets of videos, an average of 5 minutes per set, takes more than a day. Can you watch it all in one night?

Yang An laughed: It's not just me watching it alone, Director Tang, where are the editorial staff?

Tang Tao replied: I've already gone to the hotel to wait, they are screening Vader.

Sha Bei had never done coordinating work for a TV station, so she was a little curious: What is Vader Screening?

Yang An explained: Let's say these 400 groups of contestants are divided into 8 categories according to their talents, and each category has 50 groups of contestants. For example, there are 50 singing talents. Preliminary scoring of 9 hard indicators such as the external environment, and then enter the external environment unit, which is subdivided into various indicators such as player age, occupation, family situation, etc., which can be sorted three times. In the end, I will give it to me. According to the chart, I can easily select suitable candidates according to the characteristics of the subdivision, and they are not repeated candidates. In this way, among the 400 groups of candidates, I personally review only 70 groups at most, which is less than one-sixth. It took three to four hours to finish watching, and the rest of the candidates can be handed over to the director to complete.

Sha Bei asked, Aren't you afraid that you might miss it?

Yang An laughed loudly: Wade's screening has another advantage. The editorial team can know the selection criteria of the producer and grasp the overall style of the show. It’s over, this is the most time-saving and efficient scientific algorithm, even if there are unjust, false or wrongly decided cases, it will not exceed 2%.”

Tang Tao added: The 400 videos we sorted out are all rough cuts, with only specific subdivision indicators and scores. Because Mr. Yang is also the host, he only knows the general type of the contestants, not the performances of the contestants next week. The specific content, which can ensure the effect of the scene. As the main host, Mr. He doesn't even know the type of players, so he is completely blind.

Sha Bei sighed and said: I finally understand, the producer's idea determines the style of the whole program, he shoulders a heavy responsibility!

Yang An said: Of course! Otherwise, why are the rules of the modern TV industry so strict, and the most popular model is the producer team model? The producer is the soul of the program, and the host and guests are the body of the program. To rise is to be whole!

All three laughed and clinked glasses together.

Yang An asked: Besides the players, are there any other problems?

He Jiong glanced at Tang Tao gratefully, and the latter smiled. He is not a gossip, and it is better to solve the problems in his own group. He Jiong went to Sophie's Bar last night. Tang Tao conceded the showdown, it's better not to tell Yang An about it, it's a loss of points.

He Jiong asked: I also want to make sure, what is the rate at which our hosts comment on contestants?

It’s hard for Yang An to answer this question. The degree of comments must be determined by the host himself. There is no standard value for this thing. He thought for a few minutes and said, “How about this, this Saturday, let’s have an internal meeting first. Staff audition? Let Director Tang find a few talented employees to come over and perform, and we will spend half a day discussing on the spot.

Both He Jiong and Tang Tao agreed, and He Jiong asked, Does Lao Xu have a schedule?

Yang An nodded: She told me that she has been idle for the past two months, and she is going to be moldy at home!

He Jiong laughed: When the spring is warm and the flowers are blooming, you have to go out and walk more. People are going to be moldy, why don't you hurry up and bask in the sun!

Seeing everyone talking happily, Sha Bei was the most depressed: Hey, this is what I am most dissatisfied with. The talent show has been prepared for half a year, right? Why do you never disclose who the third judge is? I am also myself Is he good or not, even I can’t tell? Who is Old Xu? How old is he? What does he do, actor or host?”

The three laughed, and He Jiong leaned over and said a name in Sha Bei's ear.

I saw that Sha Bei's face suddenly became weird, surprise turned into joy, and then he hesitated, hesitating, and seemed a little shy.

He Jiong raised his chin and said softly, Don't blame brother for not giving you a chance! Say it!

Sha Bei blushed, looked at Tang Tao, then at Yang An, gritted her teeth, and said, Well, when she comes on Saturday, can I pick you up?

Yang An and Tang Tao laughed so hard!
