Chapter 1484 The Suddenly Rich Teacher Wang Gang
Entering September, Wang Gang, who has been back from the mainland for more than a month, officially started his new challenge - TV storytelling on Kylin TV's nighttime slot after careful and serious preparation.
Wang Gang is talking about "Taste of the Three Kingdoms".
Compared with sitting alone in a radio station's recording studio and telling stories, and being able to correct them and re-record them if they made mistakes, the difficulty of live-recorded TV storytelling is much higher.
Of course, "Taste of the Three Kingdoms" is also recorded and broadcast.
But Yin Jun changed the form for him.
Instead of letting Wang Gang lecture on storytelling in front of the air in a room, he made a small recording studio and invited thirty to fifty viewers to listen to Wang Gang's storytelling live in the studio.
This is not traditional storytelling, but the model of Huaxia TV’s Baijia Forum, which is an open lecture.
This virtually put a lot of pressure on Wang Gang.
Because in China, a few decades ago, and even in many teahouses now, this is what storytellers said.
There is an audience in front of you, and there is no audience in front of you. There are two different concepts when talking about storytelling.
Now it is a TV recording and there is an audience. If Wang Gang's performance is a little worse, it will be reflected, thus affecting the effect.
But Wang Gang is Wang Gang, and he is worthy of being one of the people who has been doing storytelling over the years.
He just adjusted a few previews, and he was already used to the storytelling method from a few years ago.
When the recording officially started, he was completely in the zone.
Wang Gang showed his true skills, which made the audience listen with gusto. With his words, actions, expression changes and other expressions, they were immersed in the exciting Three Kingdoms era.
More importantly, after the recording began to be broadcast on the TV station, the number of viewers increased at a speed visible to the naked eye.
In fact, the 10-11pm time slot is not considered good.
It can only be said that it is better than the late night show at 12 o'clock, and sometimes it is not as good as the 10-11 o'clock morning session.
But on the other hand, this late night time can also help people calm down and become clear.
Usually scientists and literary prize winners will have more flashes of inspiration during this period of time.
Therefore, people who read and listen to storytelling during this time will be able to concentrate more mentally and integrate into it more easily.
If it is agreed, it will definitely receive rave reviews and become famous.
But if it is not done well, the entire period will be wasted. Wang Gang's first performance from the radio to the screen was messed up. I don't know when he can get up.
Fortunately, Wang Gang is really good, and with the addition of Yin Jun's "Three Kingdoms", it is already an excellent storytelling, so in just one week, "Three Kingdoms" has exceeded 5 million viewers.
"Three Kingdoms" directly broke the ratings record for this time period.
You can say that in the first two days, most of the book fans were fans of Wang Gang's "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" and came specifically to watch it.
But the millions of people who will be added later are definitely not old book fans, but new ones.
However, this is not the pinnacle of "Three Kingdoms".
After two days of rest over the weekend, the sixth episode of "Three Kingdoms" on Monday hit another 8 million viewers. People watching at Kylin TV couldn't help but call Nielsen to ask if they were It's not a statistical error.
It didn't.
The excitement of "Taste of the Three Kingdoms" and Wang Gang's performance deeply moved the audience.
In particular, Wang Gang deliberately made a difference this time. He was self-taught and came out from behind the podium from time to time to imitate the dialogues of characters in the Three Kingdoms. He imitated the dialogues of the characters in the Three Kingdoms very vividly. His exaggerated expressions from time to time made people laugh. .
The images of the heroes of the Three Kingdoms suddenly became vivid, and they were no longer the stereotyped ones in books and TV series.
Compared with "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", "Three Kingdoms" is a book that is difficult to understand. I am afraid that only two or three out of a hundred fans of the Three Kingdoms have read it.
This time, through Wang Gang's vivid explanation, we can see something completely different from "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" and learn the real historical facts, which greatly satisfies many fans of the Three Kingdoms.
Even many young people have joined the ranks of watching "Three Kingdoms" due to word of mouth.
This is also the reason why the number of viewers suddenly increased by 50%, reaching a terrifying figure of 8 million.
Gold will never be buried.
Pin Sanguo and Wang Gang are definitely a golden partner. They are three points better than the original teacher Yi Zhongtian in his previous life.
Based on the taste and knowledge of those audiences after 2000, they will be attracted by such a simple platform storytelling as "A Taste of the Three Kingdoms", let alone this group of people in the 1980s.
At the end of just the second week, the number of viewers of "Three Kingdoms" increased to more than 10 million.
With such good results, Kylin TV held a special meeting to discuss the schedule adjustment.
Everyone argued for a long time, and finally Liang Shuyi made the decision, asking Wang Gang to move the schedule to 12:30-13:30 noon starting from the third week, which is after the noon news program.
This time period is really good, because during lunch, everyone likes to watch the news and see what happened that day.
Unlike the 6 o'clock news in the morning, it is only for office workers and white-collar workers, because ordinary people do not get up that early.
The half-hour news starting at 12 noon is watched by many neighbors and office workers during their breaks.
Although it is not as good as the 6:30 pm news, before 6:30, this time slot is considered the best.
The "Three Kingdoms" broadcast immediately after the news program is naturally much better than the 11 o'clock slot.
As a result, the number of viewers of "Three Kingdoms" gradually increased to 13 million in the third week, and it has no intention of stopping.
According to Kylin TV's estimates, after 50 episodes, as long as Wang Gang's understanding and interpretation of "Three Kingdoms" does not collapse, the number of collectors may reach 30 million! --What? Any questions about storytelling storylines? Please! Don’t you see who wrote this book? ? When did the story written by Jun Shao have a hard time?
Wang Gang's "Three Kingdoms" has dozens more episodes than the original version, with a total of 106 episodes.
This was the result of Yin Jun asking him to stuff things harder.
Wang Gang added a lot of his own understanding to it, plus some action and language expressions. As long as he speaks slower and acts more humorously, time will pass naturally.
What's more, of the one-hour program, only 45 minutes really belong to Wang Gang, and the rest are all kinds of advertisements.
Of course, the key is that the story is good and Wang Gang's performance is very good, so more people like to watch it.
As the level of attention increased, Wang Gang's treatment naturally increased.
Kylin TV not only assigned Wang Gang a life assistant, but also a makeup artist and a special car. The house he lived in was also replaced by a large apartment with two bedrooms and one living room.
The most important thing is that a supplementary clause was added to his employment contract, which stated that when the number of viewers reached what level, the bonus would be increased to what extent.
Based on the current viewership of 13 million, Wang Gang can receive more than 100,000 bonuses per episode. If there are 20 million viewers, it will be 300,000 per episode.
Calculated in this way, Wang Gang has finished 106 chapters of "The Three Kingdoms" and can get at least 20 million in bonuses alone!
Wang Gang was very happy, but he didn't lose his composure.
Because his income has already exceeded 20 million.
In the second month after the release of "Ghost Blowing the Lamp", 15 million copies were shipped from Japan and South Korea, and the total sales volume has reached 37 million copies. Therefore, Wang Gang has already received the second round of royalty settlement after tax. 30 million.
Strangely enough, Wang Gang's hands were shaking when he took 10 million for the first time.
After receiving 30 million for the second time, Wang Gang calmed down.
For the first time, Wang Gang asked someone to exchange all of the 10 million Hong Kong dollars into RMB, a total of 4 million. God knows how those people were so powerful, and they carried it all to his home in the Northeast in cash.
At this time, the RMB was only 10 yuan per piece, so 4 million yuan would require 400,000 yuan, or 4,000 bundles.
After getting so much money, Wang Gang regretted it, because it was too much to fit on a bed.
He didn't dare to give so much money to his parents.
There is nowhere to spend money if you want to buy anything.
In the end, Wang Gang could only take 100,000 to give to his parents, leaving another 100,000 to ask his elders to raise their daughter. The brothers and sisters each took 10,000, and his ex-wife quietly gave 100,000.
Wang Gang didn't dare to deposit the remaining money in the bank. He could only ask scalpers to help him mention Huajing and handed it to Zheng Rong of the Huajing Branch of Qilin Group, asking him to help him look around and buy in Huajing. A better courtyard house.
This was also the inspiration Wang Gang got from Yin Jun's investment. Anyway, he also lived in Huajing for a while and felt that the environment here was very good. It would definitely not be a loss to buy a courtyard house.
After finishing all this work, he returned to Hong Kong and received 30 million Hong Kong dollars. Wang Gang no longer dared to take it back to his hometown. He kept it all in HSBC and waited until later to buy some assets in Hong Kong.
Therefore, Wang Gang, who already has 30 million in the bank, is not that concerned about the possible 20 million income from "Three Kingdoms".
But Wang Gang still tried his best to tell storytelling seriously. This is not only responsible for his own work, but also a way to repay Mr. Jun for taking care of him.
Wang Gang understood that his transformation from an ordinary storyteller to the multi-millionaire that everyone envied now was all due to Yin Jun's support.
If you don't work well for Yin Jun, it's really God's fault.
What's more important, Wang Gang has now experienced success and his heart has become bigger.
He feels that storytelling now is not his greatest achievement in the future. He needs more conditions and wants to stand at a higher place.
But Wang Gang now has nothing but some money.
If you want to go further, you must have noble people.
Who is this noble man?
Of course there is only Yin Jun!
