444: Comparable to the Spring Festival Gala

Hangzhou, Blueberry TV Building, Production Department. Google search reading

Hong Chengguang walked out of the office, his face a little ugly, and said with a hint of anger: "All of you, immediately put down what you are doing and go to the conference room for a meeting!"

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a slamming sound of the door closing.

All the employees in the production department looked at each other.

"What's wrong?"

"Who offended the director again?"

"I don't know. I went to sign the documents just now and I was still smiling."

"It doesn't feel good."

"It's rare to see a director get so angry."

"Stop chatting and go in!"

…

Footsteps sounded one after another, and in a blink of an eye everyone entered the conference room.

Hong Chengguang said with a dark face, "Everyone is here, right? Who are in charge of the post-production of the last issue of "The Story of Time"?"

Hearing this, some people's expressions changed slightly, while others breathed a sigh of relief.

Hong Chengguang's sharp eyes swept over the four employees who raised their hands one by one, and said: "I didn't stare for a second, and then I cut the film like this. Don't talk about Wei Ge, I can't get through here, you are the only one." It’s so troublesome!”

Everyone was suddenly stunned.

The sample failed?

Because they had to ensure the quality of every issue of "The Story of Time," Jiang Ge and Zhou Lingwei wrote a clause in the contract that required their approval.

Time is precious, and there are only ten hours left before the broadcast. Hong Chengguang did not hold a few people accountable, but focused on solving the problem, saying: "Let's quickly watch the samples and then express our opinions."

The conference room was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.

soon,

The samples were played on the big screen.

"Do you see any problem?" Hong Chengguang asked after the whole movie was played.

Everyone looked at me and I looked at you, but no one seemed to want to be the first to speak.

but,

Hong Chengguang has been holding back a lot of anger. If everyone pretends to be dead, it will only explode.

“If you highlight the word ‘proposal’ from the beginning, there will be fewer surprises,” said an employee.

"Is there more?" Hong Chengguang asked again.

"The proposal part between Xu Chenyi and Guan Yansi was too long, and the proposal part between Jiang Ge and Zhou Lingwei was too short, and there was no distinction between primary and secondary." Another employee said.

"Continue." Hong Chengguang said again.

"The family and friends group is not well utilized and there are too few shots." Another employee said.

Someone started the conversation, and everyone spoke enthusiastically, asking eight or nine questions in a row.

Hong Chengguang rubbed his temples with a headache, looked at the time, and said, "I'll give you fifteen minutes to discuss an editing plan."

Everyone is helpless, what is this?

Post-production is the reprocessing of pre-production work. When the photographer hands over a bunch of messy program materials to the post-production staff, the editing, soundtrack, subtitles, special effects and other staff need to be based on the program content, program theme, visual preferences of the audience, etc. Factors are used to arrange, combine and process the materials to achieve a perfect combination of vision and hearing, thereby enhancing the attractiveness of the program and thereby increasing ratings.

Obviously, these staff members of Blueberry TV did not meet the requirements.

Two hours later, Zhou Lingwei received the revised sample of the last issue of "The Story of Time". Seeing that this version was personally supervised by the director of the production department of Blueberry TV, she thought there would be no problem.

However, the result is that the requirements are still not met.

The soundtrack, subtitles and special effects are okay, but the editing is not.

It's not that Zhou Lingwei is nitpicking, but because editing plays an important role in the post-production of variety shows, and the quality of editing directly affects the overall effect of the variety show.

Generally speaking, editing is done through image processing, music processing, and rhythm processing to ensure the visual beauty and vividness of the program, thereby arousing the audience's interest.

But the last issue of "The Story of Time" is a special situation. It contains a two-part proposal within a suit within a suit, so the conventional editing method cannot be used.

Time waits for no one, the launch is getting closer and closer.

Zhou Lingwei thought for a moment and did not let Blueberry TV make any more modifications. Instead, she took the sample out of Weigo Culture and went upstairs to Huafeng Media.

"Sister Zhou." The little girl at the front desk greeted her enthusiastically when she saw it was her. She used to be the boss's wife in name, but now she is the boss's wife in reality.

"Is your producer Mo here?" Jiang Ge was on vacation at home, and Zhou Lingwei could only find someone else.

"No, Producer Mo went to Hengdian early in the morning." The girl at the front desk replied.

"Where's Secretary Hu?"

"exist."

"Okay, I'll go find her."

Zhou Lingwei went to Hu Xiao and directly explained her purpose: "Blueberry TV is not very good at post-production for the last episode of "The Story of Time". There is not much time to make modifications. I would like to ask your production department for help."

Upon hearing this, Hu Xiao said: "Okay, Sister Zhou, I will take you there."

Zhou Lingwei smiled and said, "Sorry to trouble you."

Hu Xiao shook his head and said, "No trouble."

Just kidding, this is the boss lady, if you need something, it’s just a matter of words.

When he came to the production department, the manager personally received him. Zhou Lingwei gave him the sample and then briefly explained the editing requirements. He patted his chest and promised that there would be no problem.

"Awei, your team's work will stop for a moment and we will edit an urgent film first."

"Head, what movie is it?"

"The last issue of "The Story of Time"!"

"Isn't that the responsibility of Blueberry TV?"

"You talk a lot, hurry up, I made a promise to the boss lady that it will be done within two hours."

"Boss, how is this possible?"

"You only need to edit the proposal part, and you don't need to touch the rest."

"Oh... I didn't control the rhythm well."

"Absolutely. You used the idea of ​​editing a suspense film. In the first ten seconds of the trailer, you built up the anticipation enough to make the audience guess in the direction of the proposal. However, there is no clear evidence to prove that it is a proposal."

"Understand!"

…

Whether a variety show can provide a good visual experience and leave a deep impression on people after watching it requires the assistance of excellent editing. To a certain extent, excellent program editing determines the degree to which a variety show is favored by the audience.

Each variety show has a different rhythm, which must be adjusted according to the content, theme, cast and other factors of the current program. In addition to ensuring the beautiful appearance and novel content, the narrative rhythm of the program must also be ensured.

Although the Huafeng Media Production Department has not edited variety shows, it is good at using shots to connect and combine to create suspense. This is exactly what the Blueberry TV Production Department lacks.

As time went by, Zhou Lingwei became more and more nervous.

Everyone at Blueberry TV was extremely anxious, and even made an announcement to postpone the broadcast of the last episode of "The Story of Time".

Finally, at 4:30 in the afternoon, Zhou Lingwei got the sample from the production manager of Huafeng Media. After seeing the revised part, her frown relaxed and she smiled happily.

"As expected of a magnificent person!"

They captured and mastered the audience's psychology and emotions, and used multiple routines to whet the audience's appetite.

this……

Were you a fisherman in your last life?

Zhou Lingwei was very satisfied and quickly sent someone to send the samples to Blueberry TV.

"Edited by Wei Ge Culture?" Xia An asked.

"Well, I said there was still a little problem, so I fixed it." The director of the production department replied.

Gu Wei

"Have you seen it?" Xia An asked again.

"I saw it," said the director of the production department.

"How is it?" Xia An asked again.

"Well... this is indeed better than our own editing. It enhances the overall dramatic effect and the suspense of the proposal. It is very eye-catching and makes people not want to miss it for a minute." The director of the production department sighed to himself.

"That's fine. Let's go make arrangements. It's getting late." Xia An breathed a sigh of relief.

He was already so overwhelmed by "Nirvana in Fire" that he wouldn't know what to do if there was another problem with "The Story of Time".

and,

Netizens don't know these things and just keep discussing them online.

"Give me a break, it's too hard!"

"It's like I'm obsessed with it. I spent the whole day reading various analyzes on Weibo, Douyin, and Tieba."

"I haven't watched it since last night. Those guys are getting more and more outrageous."

"The key is that many people who call themselves 'live audience' only want to whet their appetites without breaking the news."

"This is the first time I want to watch a variety show so much!"

"It feels more interesting than watching TV dramas."

…

That's Django. If it were anyone else, he would have been criticized for playing like this.

Think about it, it’s just a variety show. If you hide it like this, who is it playing?

Don’t forget, Django knows a little bit about psychology. No matter what it is, the more you hide it, the more others will want to know. Curiosity killed the cat.

"Ji Chuan" did not show any weakness at all, and kept up the popularity and topic.

The members of the Korean group XOX Generation are quite well-known in China. In addition, Cai Fan and Feng Yilun, who are both solo artists, are very successful and have many fans.

Unfortunately, the group was not full because Xu Chenyi declined the invitation.

Firstly, it was in competition with his own company's variety show. Secondly, he knew the reason why Zhou Lingwei left Dragon TV. Thirdly, he and Feng Yilun did not deal with each other.

So, reject it directly.

And tonight, starting from the seven o'clock news broadcast, Blueberry TV's real-time TV ratings and the number of people online in the online live broadcast room have continued to rise.

It's only half an hour before the last episode of "The Story of Time" airs, and the ratings have reached 69%, with more than 6 million people online.

Seeing this data, Dragon TV, the program team of "Ji Chuan", Feng Yilun, etc. all turned green in the face. This is ridiculous, comparable to the CCTV Spring Festival Gala!

What are you using to win ratings?

like,

It’s over before it even begins…

This is indeed the case. There are more and more people online in the Blueberry TV online live broadcast room, and even if you turn off the barrage, you can no longer watch it.

"Oh, without the barrage, it would be half the fun!"

"There's no way. Not only is the entire screen blocked, it's also very stuck."

"Since it hasn't started yet, why not try setting up more blocking words."

"How many blocking words are needed for this barrage filling the screen?"

"It's a pity that there is no one-third or one-fifth barrage function like Station B."

"Are you stupid? You can just watch the barrage on your mobile phone."

…

In a dormitory of first-year girls at Hangcheng University, several young girls sat around the only laptop in the dormitory, discussing the choice of barrage.

As a result, the head of the dormitory said something to wake up the dreamer.

They all took out their mobile phones, and as soon as they opened the Blueberry TV live broadcast room, "The Story of Time" started.

The first ten seconds are a quick and short preview that gathers the essence of the entire issue.

"The next thing I want to say about (Django) is very important, which is why the recording was postponed until today."

…

“The (Django) staff will give everyone a rose.”

…

"(Guan Yansi) Do you think this is fun?"

…

? !

The camera flashed by quickly, and he only said half of what he said, leaving several little girls confused.

"What do you mean?" Li Jing asked.

"It seems, it seems, something big is about to happen." Zhang Li said.

"Did Director Jiang say 'send roses' just now? Could it be a proposal?" Wang Yan asked.

"It's possible, but what happened when Guan Yansi lost her temper?" Liu Xia said.

Although I'm not sure what happened in the show, my curiosity has been aroused.

"Two people who love each other will never see each other for a day, just like three autumns apart..."

Chu Pianpian's every frown and smile touched the hearts of the audience in front of the screen.

Love is one of the three eternal themes of mankind.

And the youthful freshman is full of fantasies about this.

At this moment, Li Jing, Zhang Li, Wang Yan, and Liu Xia temporarily forgot about the suspense in the editing and focused on the story.

"(Xu Chenyi) People often ask me, 'How do you go on a date when you are busy?'. Actually, we don't have to date, because we are always together on the set; some people also ask me, 'When did you have a crush on her?' ’, this question confused me. Strangely enough, I didn’t even know it myself, and when I discovered it, it had already become like this..."

…

"(Xu Dongqing) My love began on the university campus. Like many university loves, it was an encounter in the study room of the library, a look back on the way to the cafeteria, and a carefully designed 'unexpected encounter' downstairs in the dormitory..."

…

"(Su Qin) I was in a big car accident while filming a movie in Yanjing. My ribs were broken and my abdomen was injured. I almost died. After I was sent to the hospital, I didn't dare to call him until I learned that my life was not in danger. At that time, he I started working in Hengdian and rushed to the hospital overnight to take care of me. It has been more than three months since I came..."

…

"(Ling Xue) We got married right after graduating from college. We were never favored and were always divorced. Eight years have passed like this. In addition to happiness, we also have depression and hesitation, but to us, each other is the most important..."

…

For the stars in the spotlight, they are dazzling on stage, and they are ever-changing in the drama, but they also have a unique love in reality.

Little girls, in one love story after another, are looking forward to their own love again.

At this point, enter the first paragraph GG.

"The trailer seems to be a 'trailer scam'." Li Jing complained.

"Not a single scene has appeared in it so far," Zhang Li said.

"Oh, it's not like it was deliberately edited to attract attention in order to compete with "Extremely Selected" for ratings, right?" Wang Yan guessed.

"Why are you so anxious? We've only broadcast a third of it now." Liu Xia said helplessly.

"In a blink of an eye, it's time to say goodbye. I still remember the day the show was launched. I stood here and said to everyone, hello..."

Chu Pianpian's appearance surprised the audience.

This should be an interactive session, with the four celebrities just sharing their love stories with the lucky viewers.

Why is it the end?

What's even more outrageous is that Xu Chenyi and Guan Yansi came on stage to sing the closing song!
