Chapter 850 The Unreliable Ace Variety Show

Yin Jun and Tang Shuxuan are good friends.

Tang Shuxuan has basically been busy with Yin Jun in the United States since the year before last. When Yin Jun went to the United States, she was always the one to receive him, so this time when Tang Shuxuan came back, Yin Jun chose to entertain her at home.

When it comes to formally entertaining a guest, Yin Jun is not careless.

He specially invited Brother De to help with the cooking.

Brother De is the young chef who got into trouble at the closing banquet of "Wulin Gaiden". His full name is Chen Ende.

Now he has transferred to Fulinmen from Da. .

For a super rich man like Yin Jun to actually choose a little-known chef like himself to cook and entertain guests from afar, Chen Ende was a little frightened. He started thinking hard a week in advance, striving to make himself cook Give out the dishes that Mr. Jun's guests like to eat.

There are two guests today, one is Chinese and the other is American. How to satisfy their tastes is indeed something that needs to be carefully considered.

But what made Chen Ende a little depressed was that after the meal was ready, when he secretly stood outside the dining room to take a look, he found that the female guest was eating happily, but the American was eating absent-mindedly and just randomly. After eating a lot, he got off the table and sat on the sofa in the living room to read some information.

Not to mention the lonely future Michelin three-star chef.

With or without Bruckheimer, the chat between Yin Jun and Tang Shuxuan was not affected.

After all, Chinese is one of the most difficult languages ​​to learn in the world. Bruckheimer said that he could not understand even a single word.

Of course, Bruckheimer left the table early not because he felt he was being ignored, but because he was now obsessed with the script of "Beverly Hills Cop" and wanted to get through it as soon as possible.

If Yin Jun hadn't insisted on treating Jie Feng to dinner, Bruckheimer felt that it would not be a bad idea to have some sandwiches and a cup of coffee at the hotel.

After asking for Yin Jun's permission, Bruckheimer ran to the living room to read the script, which made Tang Shuxuan talk about him.

"Ajun, you haven't met such a person before, and he hasn't shown any extraordinary abilities. Why should you give him the responsibility to produce the first film of United Artists Film Company?" Tang Shuxuan asked doubtfully. road.

"I happened to watch two movies in which he was the producer in the past two years, and I was somewhat impressed by him." Yin Jun said, "In addition, this time I entrusted several headhunting companies in the industry to help me make a list of people with development potential. , he is in a very front position. I thought that the new company has a new atmosphere, it is better for us to train some talents ourselves, which will be better for future development, so I chose him."

"In the future?" Tang Shuxuan said with a smile, "Do you know that many companies in Hollywood are calculating when we will collapse, and then they can take over Disney and United Artists at a low price?"

"Let them wait, we will not fail!" Yin Jun shook his head indifferently.

Tang Shuxuan was furious.

The people at Disney and United Artists are very worried, but you, the boss, are not worried at all. You are really tolerant.

But then I thought about it, it would be strange if a person like Yin Jun didn't have enough confidence.

"Since you are so loud, it's time to fulfill your promise now, right?" Tang Shuxuan was also a workaholic. While eating the food, he started asking for things.

"Why are you in such a hurry?" Yin Jun said, "I specially hired a good chef to cook today. You haven't eaten Cantonese food for so long, don't you think so?"

"What are you thinking about? I'm at home, and my aunt cooks it every day. Is there any Cantonese restaurant outside?" Tang Shuxuan shrugged, "I'm not young anymore, and I won't covet sex anymore. Work makes me happier. .”

Yin Jun opened his mouth and held back what he wanted to say.

Of course, this also shows that Brother De's current skills have not been fully developed, otherwise Tang Shuxuan would definitely not behave so mediocrely.

"I have prepared a total of three TV series and one variety show for Disney TV Channel." Yin Jun also started talking while eating, "Variety show, I sent someone to deliver "Hong Kong Idol" to your room this afternoon. What do you think? How about it?"

"very good!"

Tang Shuxuan nodded seriously, "Although there are only three official episodes of the program now, I already want to beat Huang Laoxie to death. And the way this program is presented and the way the whole people carnival is, in this huge country like the United States, it is definitely It will also be welcomed.”

Tang Shuxuan is not a spokesperson for commercial films. She is a female director who makes literary films and never likes flashy things.

Even she thought it was a good variety show, it was really suitable for both refined and popular tastes.

"That's good." Yin Jun said, "When you go back, I will write down the most detailed production plan and process in the file. After you take it back, find a more reliable producer, and then keep an eye on it yourself. If they don't make any mistakes, this show will be a sure thing."

"How many viewers do you think it will have in the United States?" Tang Shuxuan asked.

American TV series actually also talk about ratings, but they prefer another statistic from Nielsen Data Company.

That is the viewing data for people aged 18-45.

Because this group of people is the main group of people shopping and consuming in the United States, their reference value is much greater than the ratings.

Therefore, when you look at the ratings index column of American TV series, you will usually see which episode has 21 million viewers, or 13 million, or 2.4 million... and so on.

Whether it is NBC, ABC, HBO, CBS, PBS, or the super upstart Netflix, the reason they judge which TV series is worth renewing and which TV series can be cut off is based on the number of viewers.

This is not a judgment standard that only emerged after 2000. In fact, it became popular in the 1970s.

But before the 1990s, basically the range of this audience was not accurate to those between 18-45 years old, and usually referred to the entire audience.

For example, just two years later, in addition to the average audience of more than 60 million viewers of the American super drama "Wind Doctor The same 160 million people.

What is the population of the United States?

In 1983, it was about 300 million at best.

The viewership of 106 million means that except for the elderly, children and people who do not watch TV series, basically everyone watched this episode.

Such incredible data, including its average viewership, is the only one in the history of the United States, and there will never be another one.

Let’s go back to variety shows.

The pinnacle of American variety shows is "American Idol" produced by Yin Jun.

The average viewership of "American Idol" is as high as 25 million. In the days when it was around, other variety shows could not compete with it.

In the United States, it is difficult for TV series to last for more than 5 seasons, and only super dramas can last for 10 seasons, let alone variety shows with fierce competition and ever-changing changes.

Usually, any show that lasts for two or three seasons is definitely a good show.

A talent show like "American Idol" that has been held for 15 seasons is the only one in the history of the United States.

Of course, it cannot be said that it is the longest-running variety show.

For example, "Survivor" has been running for more than 30 seasons in 2020, but this is a survival challenge program, and it is two different categories from the talent show, so it is not easy to compare.

In terms of difficulty and cruelty, the real-life talent show is still more outstanding.

However, those variety shows that were famous in later generations are now nowhere to be found in the United States, or even in the Netherlands, Israel, South Korea and the United Kingdom, which are the kingdoms of variety shows. This makes it easier for Yin Jun to show off his talents.

Yin Jun knew that Tang Shuxuan was a little worried about whether Americans could accept this form of variety show.

From the perspective of people in 1981, "American Idol" was very fresh, but freshness also meant that it was an experimental product, and no one could be sure of it until the results came out.

Yin Jun himself knows very well that things that were popular in 1960 will definitely not be very popular in 1980, and things that were popular in 1980 will not be very popular in 2000.

On the other hand, if the 2002 "American Idol" was released in 1981, can you guarantee that the tastes of Americans would be comparable to those 20 years later?

Everything depends on various opportunities and preparations

There is an old Chinese saying that makes it very clear.

“When oranges grow in Huainan, they become oranges; when they grow in northern Huaibei, they become oranges.”

The young man nodded when he heard this, "If based on my own estimation, if the number of viewers is less than 30 million, it is a failure. But if the first season can stabilize at more than 10 million, then it can be considered a firm foothold. . We are not looking for gains and losses in one city or one place, but to continue running this show for a long time. Therefore, the most important thing in the first season is not to collapse, learn from experience and lessons, and strive to lay the foundation for subsequent success."

"good."

Tang Shuxuan secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

She was afraid that because of the success of "Hong Kong Idol", Yin Jun would think that he would be successful in the United States.

If the results of the first season fail to meet Yin Jun's expectations, it will definitely be a big turmoil for the entire Disney.

At this time when I first took over, there shouldn't be too much turmoil at all.

Even when it comes to performance requirements, there is no need to be too impatient. The best thing to do is to work steadily for a few years and completely stabilize the morale of the military.

Moreover, in Tang Shuxuan's mind, the place where Disney TV Channel can make the most impact is not in variety shows, but in the TV series that Yin Jun is famous for!
