My wife is a big star

During the two days of meetings, not only Ma Wenlong was there, but even the director of the station came to take a look.

It’s not like the station director doesn’t know how to produce programs. The last phenomenal program on Zhaonan TV was produced by the station director as the director, not just in name.

Others were more or less nervous. It felt like the teacher was watching them while they were doing their homework. It wasn't that they didn't know how to do it, but they just felt uncomfortable.

Chen Ran is much better. He does the same thing even when people are staring at him, and he does the same thing when he is not staring at him. He does what he should do.

After the meeting ended, the director nodded and said, "This program is indeed good."

Naturally, he has seen the planning and has an understanding of the program. Musical variety shows are indeed very sluggish right now and need an inflection point. Now he feels that he has seen this inflection point appear.

Ma Wenlong said: "The program is good, but the budget is too high, and it is a new type, so the risks are not small."

"Every program has risks, and old-style programs are also risky. We can't expect everything to go smoothly." The station director shook his head.

Of course Ma Wenlong knew these words. He just said this to prepare the station director mentally.

"This Chen Ran is really a talent. Looking at the programs he has done, even the old programs he took over are all original." The station director said: "He can come up with new ideas in the program "Happy Challenge", which is really rare. .”

"Since last year, the reputation of our station has reversed a lot, and we need talents like him. I specially read his contract. After the internship period, he signed a two-year contract, which is only a few months. When the time comes, You have a good chat with him."

"Director, wouldn't you separate some of these variety shows this summer and send them to the production company? Then Chen Ran..." Ma Wenlong asked.

The station director thought for a while, but it was hard to talk about this matter. Liang Yuan made a series of moves and wanted to take advantage of the variety show. If he wanted to retain a talent like Chen Ran, he would have to spend money, or tie him to the interests of the TV station. Together, the most realistic one is the position in the production company.

But it's still too early to promise anything now.

"Let's wait and see. This program is almost over," the station director said.

Ma Wenlong also nodded and mentioned this because he didn't want Liang Yuan to arrange it directly. He knew Qiao Yangsheng's ability, which could only be described as mediocre and incomparable with Chen Ran. It was not his job to ask Qiao Yangsheng to manage the production company. Want to see.

"Director." Chen Ran came over and said hello.

The station manager asked about the program and then left. Before leaving, he said: "This program is very good. I am very optimistic about it. If you encounter anything, please discuss it with Director Ma and try to make another hit."

Chen Ran thought to himself that the station director's expectations for him were a bit low. He was doing it for a phenomenal program. But after thinking about it, a program of that level came at the right time, place, and right place. The music variety show that is still in decline now is a bit unsatisfactory. Less than expected.

However, last year's "Talent Show" was also an extremely sluggish talent show, but it still became a top hit. If it hadn't been for lack of stamina, it would have had a real chance of becoming a phenomenon, so no one can say for sure.

Ma Wenlong patted Chen Ran on the shoulder and smiled at him before following the director.

…

Huahai at this time.

Tao Lin and Zhang Fanzhi had just returned from other cities.

The radio station in the car was on, and Chen Yao's "The Wind Rises" was playing.

Tao Lin listened quietly, and then said with emotion: "Teacher Chen's work is so good, this song is now very popular."

Nowadays, many people like to listen to music while watching short videos, so this song can be heard everywhere.

The popularity is similar to Chen Yao's last song "The Rest of Life", both of which are popular on the Internet.

Especially among young people, songs become popular very quickly.

Two explosive songs, I guess Fanxing’s eyes turned red when he saw that the songwriter was Chen Ran.

What makes Tao Lin sigh is that Chen Yao has no intention of signing a contract with a company, otherwise she would become popular just by relying on these two songs.

"Well, this song is very good." Zhang Fanzhi nodded to the side.

"You haven't started recording your song yet?"

"Start when we get back."

"That's good. You haven't had any new songs for almost a year. You don't like to show up, and you haven't appeared in many variety shows. I'm afraid no one will remember you in a few months." Tao Lin complained.

Zhang Fanzhi glanced at her and said, "It's not that exaggerated."

"Why is it not so exaggerated? You are not one of those kings and queens who have accumulated a lot of experience. You are not even on the front line. If you don't release an album every year, you can only exist in the memories of fans." Tao Lin lamented: "In today's Internet society , the hot topics are updated too fast. As long as you are not exposed for a period of time, your popularity will plummet. You see, the little fresh meat Guan Han who was popular in half the world the year before last year, because of the love affair, only a year passed, and his popularity plummeted. , his popularity was that of an A-list star at first, look how many people still remember him now."

"When I was at my peak, I would scroll through Weibo with my finger, and there would be tens or even millions of comments. If I look at it now, the number of comments is not even as many as yours. It's so outdated and terrible."

Zhang Fanzhi said: "This is different."

She is not a newbie. As a singer, she still has to rely on her works to speak for herself.

Of course Tao Lin knew the difference, but she had to give Zhang Fanzhi some stimulation. Otherwise, how would she live in the future? She was going to join Zhang Fanzhi now.

She thought again: "By the way, what do you think about bringing Chen Yao in after we finish the studio?"

Zhang Fanzhi frowned and said, "Not very good."

"To tell you the truth." Tao Lin said thoughtfully: "I feel that Chen Yao has great potential. If she devotes herself to studying music, she will definitely have a lot of potential."

"She didn't want to sign the company."

"Signing with my sister-in-law's studio, how does it count as signing with a company? Doesn't she also live broadcast now? It proves that she also likes singing. She doesn't want to sign with a company because she is afraid of trouble. For example, like you, she doesn't want to go to variety shows or commercial performances. , Just answer less when she comes, and focus most of your energy on singing." The more Tao Lin thought about it, the more she thought she could give it a try.

She felt quite uncomfortable with Zhang Fanzhi's salted fish on the stall. It was also a very interesting thing to help a girl who dreamed of singing achieve her dream.

"What sister-in-law?" Zhang Fanzhi frowned at Tao Lin and said, "Don't talk nonsense."

The corners of Tao Lin's mouth twitched. Do you still need to be so serious about something that is not obvious?

Return to the apartment.

Tao Lin looked around, feeling a little nostalgic, "We have lived here for such a long time, and we are a little reluctant to leave."

Zhang Fanzhi was also slightly lost in thought, and then said: "If you can't bear to leave, just stay in Fanxing."

"It's better to avoid it. Even if I starve to death with you, I won't eat the food from the stars." Tao Lin said with a chuckle.

These words made Zhang Fanzhi frown. The studio hadn't even opened yet, so why was he thinking about starving to death?

Zhang Fanzhi looked around and said, "We have to leave anyway."

If she didn't leave Fanxing, Fanxing would definitely give her an independent villa. This kind of money-spinner would definitely require her to leave this apartment.

"That's true." Tao Lin was not a troubled person, she just sighed in a grumbling way.

…

People who have been on vacation these two days have come back to work one after another.

The creative team of their program discussed with their colleagues on the program and started making a budget.

Rao knew that the budget for a single episode of the program was definitely not small, but when they knew that the preparation and the production of the first episode alone would cost five to six million, many people took a breath.

I feel that this thing is just a waste of money. For a program like this, the return on investment is a bit exaggerated.

But fortunately, it is only the first phase. The preparation is expensive. The cost of a single phase in the future will not be high and will not be so exaggerated.

The budget for the early preparations alone was so high, so it would not be difficult to attract sponsorship for this show.

Not only is it backed by Zhaonan Satellite TV, but it is also a Friday prime time. Chen Ran is also famous for having two hits a year, which is very popular with advertisers.

As for the content of the program, there are only so many celebrities in the premiere. Although some are outdated, you can't deny that they are celebrities, right? Their sponsors are not afraid that you will spend money, but they are afraid that you will not be willing to spend it.

When Ma Wenlong heard the budget, he frowned.

“It’s okay, it’s okay, it’s not too much beyond expectations.”

He heard Chen Ran say before that the production funds might be a bit high, so he was mentally prepared. After all, "Happy Challenge" was in front of him, and his affordability was much better.

"But is this equipment really useful? The choreography is too exaggerated!"

Ma Wenlong originally wanted to talk to Chen Ran, but he stopped when he thought of the station director's instructions. He decided to let Chen Ran go ahead and follow his idea. As long as he can make a hit, he will make a lot of money.

As for the phenomenal level, I still don’t think about it.

How long has it been since the birth of the last phenomenal show?

They called South TV to have a double hit last year, so they were very lucky. The level of success depends on fate.

As for the budget, it is just a preliminary estimate anyway, and we will wait until it is worked out in detail.

One thing Chen Ran didn't expect was that as soon as the news that he was going to create a new show spread, all the advertisers he had worked with in the past knew about it. He didn't need to ask when it was, but people called him.

This made Chen Ran a little confused. I don't know when he became a celebrity, so much so that when people heard that he was doing the show, they started to contact him first. Aren't they all here for the Chinese New Year?

There is definitely no shortage of sponsors for their programs. Chen Ran has a steady hand in talking to people. As a program producer, his income is completely linked to the program income, so he has to let the news spread for a while.

…

When he got off work, Chen Ran received a call from Du Qing, probably saying that he had time recently and could arrange to record songs.

You could tell he was a little impatient.

"Zhizhi is going to attend a brand event and won't be back until tomorrow. I have to trouble Teacher Du to wait for another two days."

"It's okay. What's the trouble? Teacher Chen is too polite."

"By the way." Chen Ran suddenly remembered something and asked, "Teacher Du is very knowledgeable about the music scene. I would like to ask Teacher Du something."

"Understanding doesn't count, but I debuted in the music scene when I was a teenager and have been in the music industry for nearly 20 years. I know more or less about it. I wonder what Teacher Chen wants to know?" Du Qing was quite curious. Could it be that he wanted to know more about it? Zhang Xiyun?

"I couldn't explain it clearly on the phone. I'll wait until Zhizhi comes back to bother me." Chen Ran said with a smile.

"Teacher Chen is too polite."

Chen Ran just hung up the phone and before he put it away, it rang again.

This time it was not Du Qing, but Zhang Fanzhi.

She and Tao Lin were very decisive. They packed their things and didn't want to stay there, so they rushed back early tonight.
