Millennium director

Beijing, Guangying Building, the office floor of Guangying Kuaibo.

Since the launch of "Soul Ferry", China's first exclusive online drama, Light and Shadow Quick Broadcast has quickly become famous in China.

Immediately afterwards, movies and TV series produced by Guangying Era were also exclusively launched on Guangying Kuaibo, and subsequent TV series produced by the company have also been broadcast simultaneously on the network and the channel.

Guangying Kuaibo has become a very famous online video platform in China.

Although it is not yet comparable to Tudou and Youku in terms of the number of people online and users, it is firmly in third place.

Until, after the broadcast of "Ghost", Guangying Kuaibo once again gained a wave of fame by relying on the exclusive broadcast of this movie on the Internet.

"Goblin" has become a phenomenon-level TV series both in South Korea and China, and is even very popular in Southeast Asia.

Because of the huge hit of this drama, the number of users of Light and Shadow Times has finally reached a level comparable to that of Youku and Tudou, and it has become one of the three giants of domestic video broadcast websites.

As for Baidu’s Qiuge Video, it has just started and it will be difficult to catch up.

However, since "Goblin", there have been no more phenomenal works in Light and Shadow Quickcast. There has been talk of introducing many Korean and Japanese dramas for exclusive broadcast, but piracy is rampant on the Internet and the effects have been mediocre.

The TV series and movies produced by the company are also plagued by piracy.

Under such circumstances, it is difficult for Guangying Qvod to differentiate itself from Youku and Tudou without falling into the trap of burning money and grabbing users by simply eliminating violence.

Chen Dewei, the general manager of Guangying Kuaibo, has been thinking about how to find another way to lead Guangying Kuaibo to a higher level recently.

At this time, Li Xiaoping approached him and informed him of Wu Yuan's acting and variety show plans.

"Looking for a group of new actors to do a talent show?"

Chen Dewei's eyes lit up instantly.

Why didn't he think of it?

Singers can do talent show variety shows, so can actors!

"Will it be broadcast exclusively on Guangying Kuaibo?" Chen Dewei asked quickly.

This kind of variety show is different from TV series and movies.

If it is completely broadcast online and not broadcast on TV stations, then Chen Dewei is confident that others will not pirate the high-definition picture resources.

And after all, variety shows are different from TV dramas. As long as they are well promoted and can be watched for free, no one will have to look for pirated small websites to watch them instead of watching them on the genuine Guangying Kuaibo platform.

As long as the operation is done well, as long as this variety show can be a big hit, the era of light and shadow can open up a new path, self-made variety shows!

"Director Wu is really ingenious!" Chen Dewei said with emotion, and quickly invited Li Xiaoping and the Light and Shadow Times team she brought to the conference room, and also summoned the management team of Light and Shadow Quickcast to start a serious discussion Program planning meeting.

"According to Director Wu's proposal, we need to find four actors or directors who are well-known in the industry and have high status to serve as program mentors."

"Then, through auditions, fifty new actors will be selected from the three major universities and the private sector to become contestants."

"These contestants will go through four rounds of brutal elimination, and finally four teams of 2-3 people will compete to compete in scene acting skills, and the final winning team will be selected and become the champion of the show."

"This is roughly the rhythm and process, right?"

Taking the program plan brought by Li Xiaoping, Chen Dewei introduced the general framework of the program in the simplest language, and first asked expectantly: "Who are the four mentors?"

"Four actors or four directors?"

"I see in this planning plan, it is mentioned that the mentor will lead the team to rehearse stage scenes and situational scenes for his team. In this case, wouldn't it be more appropriate to find four directors?"

"Not necessarily." Li Xiaoping shook her head: "Director Wu also suggested that a mentor be added to the program to take the contestants to Hengdian for live filming, experience the daily life of group actors, and take the audience to reveal the on-set survival conditions behind the actors, so as to The audience uncovers the industrial processes of film and television drama production, the behind-the-scenes stories of the dramas and the truth about the industry.”

"In this case, it would be better if the four mentors are actors. The directors don't know much about the actors' specific working difficulties and experiences."

"They never pay attention to this. At most, the casting director is responsible for this aspect."

"It might be better to find four professional actors to lead these newcomers."

"You still want to go to the studio to be an extra and experience the complete crew work?" Chen Dewei raised his eyebrows.

Even he found this variety show planning very interesting.

As an outsider who is not an actor, he is actually very interested and curious about the work of an actor.

How do actors work on the set, and what are the workplace dilemmas behind them that are unique to actors?

Compared with other professions, actors have received more attention, and they are also the most mysterious and curious.

Even a large company manager would be curious about him, let alone an ordinary audience.

Chen Dewei believes that if this show is actually filmed, the daily gimmicks of this puzzle-solving crew will be able to attract countless viewers to watch.

Win half the battle first.

"How about a compromise?" After thinking about it, Chen Dewei said, "How about we find two directors and two actors?"

"Okay!" Li Xiaoping nodded: "This is best."

"As for the actors, I suggest looking for teachers Gong Li and Li Xuejian. Both of them are top actors in the industry. A boy and a girl are just right."

"As for the director, what about Chen Kaige and Zhang Guorong? They know each other, and Zhang Guorong is both an actor and a director, and he is a member of the company. He is the one who needs to be approached both emotionally and rationally."

"Zhang Guorong can do it, and Gong Li can do it too." Chen Dewei shook his head: "But Li Xuejian and Chen Kaige are not suitable for each other."

"Li Xuejian's voice has been getting worse and worse in the past two years. When he is not filming, he always rests and has never appeared on a variety show. It will probably be difficult to hire him unless Director Wu can hire him personally."

"As for Chen Kaige, you may not know that Chen Kaige has a weird temper. He is not suitable to be a mentor. He is too arrogant."

"If you are choosing a mentor, Zhang Yimou is definitely more suitable than Chen Kaige."

"As for actors, you can look to Zhang Guoli. His "Kangxi Private Interview" is deeply rooted in the hearts of people across the country and has a very popular base."

"If you think there is too much difference between his achievements and Gong Li, you can also look for Chen Daoming, Chen Baoguo, or Hong Kong's Liang Chaowei and Liang Jiahui."

"Zhang Yimou?" Li Xiaoping was stunned, "He has never cooperated with our Light and Shadow Era, can he take on this variety show?"

"Let's get in touch first. How will you know if you don't give it a try?" Chen Dewei said. (End of chapter)
