Millennium director

Glancing at Chen Dewei, Wu Yuan saw the hesitation in his expression.

The thought flashed through his mind, and he understood what Chen Dewei meant.

"I really can't do anything with you." Wu Yuan pulled the corner of his mouth and said, "In addition to the music variety show, let's set up a special variety show next year."

"What's the point of just a group of unknown trainees competing for the chance to debut?"

"If you want to play, play big!"

"Let's organize a talent show for an anti-aging girl group!"

"Anti-aging? Girl group?" Chen Dewei was a little confused, not knowing what Wu Yuan meant.

"It's just to find a group of older female artists, through co-education and stage performances, and finally select 7 members to "break the age group"!"

"Think about it, a group of unknown newcomers competing for debut, how can it be more exciting to find a group of 30-year-old female artists to compete for debut spots?"

"It's best to invite those female artists who are about to be out of fashion but not yet out of fashion, and finally select a limited 30-year-old sister idol group to debut in the form of a group of 7 after layers of competition!"

"This not only meets the hot spots of idol talent shows, but also opens up another track. By then, the program's performance will definitely be off the charts, and the audience will definitely love to watch it!"

Yes, Wu Yuan brought out "Sisters Riding the Wind and Waves".

When the idol talent show variety show was banned, only this "Sisters Riding the Wind and Waves" and the same-style "Brothers Overcoming Thorns" were not taken down by the authorities, and they were still produced as usual, and they were also made for several seasons.

From the perspective of program planning, this variety show is almost identical to "Produce 101". The only difference is that the talent show "Produce 101" recruited a group of young new trainees, while "Sisters Riding the Wind and Waves" recruited 30 30-year-old sister artists in the circle.

So why was this program not banned?

It is because this program does not have the operation of selling milk and voting. The audience can only vote through the normal voting page, and they do not need to spend money to cast more votes.

It has to be said that Mango TV is indeed very sensitive in this regard. When "Creation Camp" was popular, it did not choose to follow the trend to make such a program. Instead, it made a program with a variant theme and kept the red line.

It can only be said that it is worthy of being a TV station. After experiencing the chaos of talent shows, it knows what can and cannot be done, which is different from Internet companies that have no bottom line.

That is why, after the great waves, only "Sisters Riding the Wind and Waves" survived.

"If you want to make this program, cooperate with Mango TV." Wu Yuan ordered again.

Guangying Kuaibo and Mango TV have cooperated several times. A few years ago, Wu Yuan proposed the concept of "slow variety show" to Chen Dewei, and made the program "Longing for Life", and put Peng Peng in as the main creator from the first season.

Now "Longing for Life" has been running for several seasons, and the TV station's ratings and platform playback volume are very good. It is considered a benchmark in slow variety shows.

Of course, after "Longing for Life" became popular, it also led many TV stations to do other slow variety shows, such as "Unforgettable Restaurant" and "Dear Inn", which were later produced by Guangying Times and other TV stations, and the effect was also good.

It was also through these programs that Guangying Kuaibo trained several excellent variety show production teams.

Now it is also good to continue to cooperate with Mango TV to do "Sister Riding the Wind and Waves".

As for why we should cooperate with TV stations instead of simply doing platform programs, of course, it is because the influence of TV stations today is still more attractive than pure online variety shows.

If it is a purely online variety show, it is very difficult to invite 30 30-year-old female artists, and most invitations will not be accepted.

For a purely online variety show like now, it is not easy to invite three or five artists in the circle to be the main stars.

But TV stations are different. TV stations have very extensive cooperation with these domestic entertainment artists, and can invite a large number of artists in the circle to participate in their variety shows through various resource exchanges.

To be honest, it is inevitable that a program like "Sister Riding the Wind and Waves" will appear on Mango TV. Even if you change a TV station, it is difficult to get so many artists to compete on the same stage.

So after Mango TV made this program, no other TV station or video platform could make a similar program, including the sister program "Brothers Who Break Through Thorns" which was also made by Mango TV itself.

There is no way. After counting all the TV stations in China, only Mango TV has the ability to invite so many artists in their 30s to "compete" together.

These are the fruits of Mango TV's efforts to be younger and trendy in the past 20 years and to establish good relations with most domestic artists.

Just like Mr. He and Mr. Wang are the only two hosts in the circle who know half of the entertainment industry artists, even Hua Shao, the host of "The Voice of China", can't compare.

Some programs, such as "Escape Room" and "Celebrity Detective", can be born on Mango TV as a result. Even if the same program planning is given to other TV stations, it is very difficult to promote it.

Maybe only Blue Whale TV has a chance, but the team of Blue Whale TV is mainly the two teams of "Running Man" and "Ace vs. Ace". It is really difficult for them to do this kind of script-killing type program that requires "brains".

You can't let Shen Teng and Jia Ling be "great detectives", right?

So some variety show ideas, even if Wu Yuan can come up with them, will eventually have to cooperate with Mango TV. He can't do it well if he works alone.

This is why Wu Yuan doesn't focus on variety shows. Even if he has a lot of good variety show ideas in his mind, he doesn't arrange for Guangying Kuaibo to produce them.

In domestic variety shows, good ideas are secondary, and the guests' personal connections are the top priority. Otherwise, there will be a situation where a good cook can't cook without rice.

In this regard, Guangying Kuaibo still has a long way to go.

"This "Sister Riding the Wind and Waves" has a similar project, "Brothers Who Overcome Troubles", which just changes the guests from female artists over 30 years old to male artists. It is enough to shut up other shareholders."

"This can be regarded as eating a piece of the cake of idol talent show variety shows. If you take these two projects to prepare, the company's shareholders will have nothing to say."

"The only bad thing is that it has to cooperate with Mango TV, which is not as easy as music variety shows that can be done by themselves."

"But it's not a big problem."

Wu Yuan patted Chen Dewei's shoulder kindly: "Within a week, I will write the project plans for these variety shows and give them to you. You can arrange the rest by yourself and put them online as soon as possible in the second or third quarter of next year!"

"By then, our Guangying Kuaibo variety show section will definitely become the top of the four major video platforms!" (End of this chapter)
