Chapter 725 Make a Variety Show

South Korea really outperforms domestic entertainment in terms of reality shows!

No matter what type of domestic entertainment program, TV, movie or variety show, many have only one selling point - celebrities, big-name celebrities.

It's like the audience watching a program doesn't see whether the content is exciting, but only the stars...

Not so in Korea. Those who do variety shows in Korea do not have a high status in the Korean entertainment industry. Movies and even big-name TV stars do not appear in variety shows. Therefore, those who appear in variety shows hope to become famous based on this, and they all work hard. It's funny...

From "X-MAN" to "Infinite Challenge", "Two Days and One Night", "The Birth of a Family", including "Running Man" which became popular all over Asia...

After more than ten years of development, Korean variety shows have developed their own routines and models.

There are many forms and innovations are fast: Korean variety show models have changed from games (Running Man) to parent-child animal shows (Where Are We Going, Dad, Animal Farm) to idol group variety shows, to specific professions (Please Take Care of the Refrigerator, Celebrity Detective, We Go to School). (for restaurants), to beauty and makeup (lipstick prince-boys giving makeup to girls), to conversation and discussion (non-summit talks, etc.) and so on...

Of course, most of them have been copyrighted by us or directly copied!

Shen Xudong took Da Tiantian to watch two episodes of "The Birth of a Family", and she was quite interested...

Oh, "The Birth of a Family" is a variety show Yoo Jae Suk did before "Running Man".

Interesting.

To put it simply, the biggest contribution "The Birth of a Family" has made to the variety show industry is: variety show design!

Before this, there was no variety show that could be like a long-running series like "The Birth of a Family", where each MC has his own position, and each program is staged in large and small "theaters". This ingenious interaction and the wonderful interactions of the characters The relationship atmosphere completely captivated the audience and the ratings skyrocketed.

But success is also set by people, failure is also set by people...

Due to role positioning, programs are increasingly demanding member allocation. On the contrary, the program flow and interactive links are no longer the biggest attractions that the audience expects. If there is a problem with the member allocation, the quality of interaction and the wonderful relationship between members will be affected. It is inevitable to be substantially affected. If more and more members withdraw at this time, it will be equivalent to announcing that the show is Game Over in advance!

"The Birth of a Family" became boring after Lee Chun-hee and Park Ye-jin got off the show.

The same goes for "Running Man". Before Gary Jiang got off the show, "Running Man" became popular all over Asia... After Gary got off the show, "Running Man" never regained its previous glory!

How to make a female star famous without acting skills?

Answer: Let her star in a reality show...

There are reference answers - Yang Tianbao is a typical example of variety shows becoming popular!

Is there anything special about Yang Tianbao?

Yes, her looks can make a top vase, but what next?

Before "Running Man", she was only slightly famous. Although Huayi praised her, she had no acting skills. After "Running Man", her popularity skyrocketed. At one stage, all the heroines of Fei Luwen were Yang Tianbao!

Shen Xudong has some interactions with Tianbao, but not much.

Jiahe signed Wen Yongshan, Yang Tianbao has his own agent...

Therefore, now that Shen Xudong wants to do "Running Man", the position of female MC is vacant. He has previously thought about who would be suitable...

After much deliberation, let’s give it to Da Tiantian!

Da Tiantian has a good personality, is kind-hearted, and very simple...

As for Yang Tianbao...

Forget it.

I briefly talked about the concept of "Running Man" with Da Tiantian, who was very interested...

…

Company, Shen Xudong took a look at the first-day results of "Hot Detective"...

Not bad, the box office on the first day was 11 million.

It's already great. After all, it's still during the Olympics. If it breaks 10 million on the first day, it's definitely a box office hit!

"How about overseas?"

"Very good, especially in Southeast Asia. The first day's sales conservatively exceeded US$4 million!"

Shen Xudong nodded: "So, Jackie Chan is suitable for this kind of tough guy police image!"

"The Korean version will be released next week. CJ Media has said that it will strive to open on more than 500 screens."

"Where's the Hong Kong box office?"

"The box office on the first day exceeded HK$2 million. In Taiwan, the box office of "Hot Detective" on the first day was as high as US$970,000."

Shen Xudong smiled: "Jackie Chan still has charisma!"

"Hot Detective" will be released simultaneously across Asia. Golden Harvest is responsible for distribution in Southeast Asia. Mainland distribution is handed over to Tianmei. South Korea and Japan sell the copyright directly...

The Korean copyright was worth US$2.6 million, Japan and Japan negotiated for US$4 million, and Shen Xudong made the decision and sold it directly.

We must act quickly. If I remember correctly, the global financial crisis is coming in September!

By the way, what is surprising is that Russia and several countries in the Middle East also bought the copyright of "Hot Detective" and received US$3 million.

So far, "Hot Detective" has made nearly $18 million in overseas revenue - real money.

Therefore, at this stage, investing in Jackie Chan's works is a guaranteed profit.

As for the North American copyright, New Line, Weinstein Pictures and Lionsgate are interested in bringing it in, and they are still in negotiations.

Of course Shen Xudong was anxious, but there was nothing he could do about it. After all, the price was very low...

Chen Xi continued: "Chen Xiao has become famous in one fell swoop. I see many comments praising him for his good performance in the role of the cruel second-generation rich man!"

"Hot Detective" is "Big Shot", where a violent police officer beats the rich second generation...

Acting skills are really tested for the rich second generation!

Chen Xiao did a good job.

It’s worthy of Tianmei’s cultivation...

Chen Xiao, Wang Kai, Zhu Awen, Wang Lei and Mao Zijun from "Star You" are all the new generation niche actors that Tianmei Media strongly supports.

Used to fight against the Heavenly Eye!

Why can Tianting Banquet be able to work with great directors such as Jiang Wen, Xu Ke, Lin Chaoxian, Xu Anhua, and Chen Kaige as soon as it comes to the mainland?

Of course, due to subsequent tightening of policies, many film and television companies have unwritten rules: all Hong Kong and Taiwan actors will not be used, except for veteran actors like Hui Yinghong who already have a firm political stance.

But at this stage, Tianmei Media is the only media company that has a clear-cut stance in favoring mainland niche students!

"That's good. Let's raise his management contract to another level. When the time comes, let's open a studio for him!"

"...Well," Chen Xi nodded, and then picked up a planning list on the table - "Thoughts on the Outdoor Variety Show "Running Man""...

After reading it for a while, she was surprised: "How did you come up with the idea of ​​doing a variety show?"

Shen Xudong said seriously: "The era of ratings ranking is coming. If variety shows are good, it will be easy to advertise. 4A companies welcome this kind of thing most!"

Chen Xi looked through the candidates to be invited. Deng Chao, Wu Jing, Huang Bo, Wang Baoqiang, Shen Teng and Jing Tian were a little surprised by the lineup: "Can they come?"

"I personally invited it, and I received the script for the first season. I will be responsible for it!"

Chen Xi's mouth almost formed an O shape: "You wrote it yourself?"

"I'm responsible for designing the levels...don't forget, I'm a programmer!"

"…"Screening Room"?"

"right!"

The program "Screening Room" still exists, but it has been transferred to local stations for broadcast...

It can bring in almost tens of thousands of yuan in income every month. For today's Tianmei Media, the income from "Screening Room" is negligible, but this is the boss's entrepreneurial work...

Some broadcasts will never stop!

"...Should we discuss this with the TV station?"

"Definitely. Without the support of TV stations, where would we have the broadcast channels?"

Chen Xi thought for a while: "BJ TV definitely wouldn't dare... I'll go find Mango TV..."

"Forget it about Mango Channel. They have their own variety show team and generally don't outsource it... I'll give you two options, Dragon TV or Zhejiang Satellite TV!"
