Chapter 62 Important Meetings
The summer in the sea is hot and long
This is also the most developed region in China's entertainment industry.
A woman in her thirties, thin and bright eyes, and short hair is watching the plan on the big screen in a spacious office.
There were more than twenty people sitting on both sides of her, all holding pens and remembering something seriously.
Her name is Yang Xiaoyue, a serious professional graduate host, but she accidentally joined the ranks of directors.
When she was in college, a variety show called "Idol Girl" left her a deep impression. The female idol who came out of this show is still active in the Chinese music scene.
Now, as the popularity of domestic talent shows in China continues to increase.
Its largest video network company: "Praise Penguin" is going to do a girl group talent show and hire her as the director of the show.
For this show, she also found her old partner, Sun Miao, a screenwriter with rich experience.
As the plan was explained, Yang Xiaoyue turned around to face everyone, and her sharp eyes flashed across the faces of everyone present: "Everyone, we have been planning this program for six months, and we must show the audience what they want to see."
Seeing his old partner looking at him, Sun Miao said calmly: "The young people at present do not lack material conditions, but they lack the goal of moving forward, and even a kind of motivation."
She habitually tapped the pencil in her hand and then said, "Our program is to create a dream for them that can inspire them to move forward."
Yang Xiaoyue smiled and said, "Yes, as Editor-in-Chief Sun said, everyone should have seen the 'Trumen's World'. This is a reality show story using movies, while we are a reality show using variety shows."
Many people present sneered at Yang Xiaoyue’s statement.
Truman's world, such a great movie you actually called a "reality show"
Whoever comes to do "reality shows" is the only one who can't make it in the film and television industry.
Yang Xiaoyue naturally would not know what these people think.
She said with confidence: "In this show, we want to manipulate a person's life, and at the same time we also need to manipulate the emotions of billions of viewers in front of the screen, and create a beautiful dream in full view of them."
Sun Miao continued: "Compared with the 'perfect idol' created by the agency, young people prefer "building idols" more because they prefer to see the true side of people."
"Editor Sun, you have said so much, how do you write the script at the beginning of this show?" A screenwriter raised his own question.
"The beginning of the show does not require a script." Sun Miao answered very seriously.
"No script is needed? Then how do these little idols act? Or, what are we editors doing?" The screenwriter looked puzzled.
Everyone present was also puzzled.
"This show is different from the reality shows in the past. All you have to do is to watch the various performances of these little idols in the show and write interesting things." Sun Miao explained.
Another screenwriter suddenly said: "I understand. It's the same as when we want to write stories about a group of people, experience life, and then write attractive stories."
"No, so we don't need scripts at the beginning, because they haven't started their life here yet. There is no way to write the competition." Sun Miao spread his hands and laughed.
"After that, what we have to do is guide them to make what the audience wants to see, let the audience develop family-like feelings for them, and then form a sense of mission."
"This sense of mission is also the reason why fans are willing to waste time, energy and money 'cultivation' them."
Sun Miao further explained the role of the screenwriter in this show.
"Everyone has also listened to Editor-in-Chief Sun's explanation just now, so the most difficult thing about our program is how to get the audience into the trap as soon as possible, that is, to find a little idol that can attract people." Yang Xiaoyue said the core of today's meeting.
"I'm afraid this is not that easy to find for people who make people feel very interesting! If there were, they were also the focus of training by their respective companies, and they would have become famous artists long ago." Someone said.
"You are wrong with this. Recently, I have been in contact with Director Yang and have contacted hundreds of companies, and more than tens of thousands of girls who have entered this industry." Lu Feng, the leader of the Yitong Group, said.
He is specialized in contacting artist agents and discussing schedules and prices.
"So many? Why don't you see each other?" Some people were extremely surprised.
"The entire entertainment market is not easy to do now. Many girl groups are essentially tools used by some small companies to make quick money, and the quality of their members is hard to describe." Lu Feng said with a wry smile.
"I thought they all looked like girl groups from the Peninsula Country!"
"Haha, the girl group in the Peninsula Country is essentially similar to ours. What you can see is that they selected the best among hundreds of thousands or hundreds of thousands of trainees."
Lu Feng has been deeply touched during this period. He never expected that there would be such a large number of "girl group" members in China.
"Their singing and dancing skills are just average."
"Most of them are average. If you think a girl has a good figure, good appearance, dances better, and sings well. Such people are extremely high-quality talents. If she is engaged in the entertainment industry, she would have been discovered by a large company long ago." Lu Feng felt that it was difficult to find a high-quality idol for a while.
Everyone fell into silence for a moment. As the saying goes, "A clever woman can't cook without rice." Even if they are good, but as the core artists of the show, the show is destined to fail.
"Don't be so frustrated. You have too high expectations for the people we are going to recruit." "I want them to be smooth and smooth, sing like a beautiful star, and dance like a poetic spirit."
Yang Xiaoyue began to adjust the atmosphere, and the face with excellent temperament was always filled with a smile.
Everyone laughed when they heard the director say this.
"The little idol we want is enough to basically pass the singing and dancing. Of course, the higher the technical level, the better. Those who cannot sing and dancing must also be beautiful and can be used as background boards and stepping stones." Yang Xiaoyue set the tone for selecting people.
"Since everyone knows the criteria for selecting people, in order for our audience to think they are very good, we must work hard on stage and stage design, and the work of the tuner will be harder." Yang Xiaoyue continued to smile.
The person in charge of the camera team, the technical team, and the later team have expressed their opinions that the tasks assigned by the company must be completed.
After the meeting, Yang Xiaoyue and Sun Miao did not leave the conference room.
"Miaomiao, how did you prepare for the early script of the show?"
If this sentence is heard by those who attended the meeting just now, it will definitely be shocked. Yang Xiaoyue said just now that there is no script, but now...
"It's ready, but your "douer" has not been confirmed yet!"
"It's hard to find. The professional quality of these little idols is worrying, and there are still some inexplicable people in the company's senior management."
Yang Xiaoyue sighed, not as confident as before in front of her friends.
"There is no way. Although this show is not very famous, it was created by Penguin with a lot of money. It is inevitable that some related households will be stuffed into it." Sun Miao comforted him.
"In this show, we not only want to deceive all the participating little idols, but our staff also want to deceive them." Yang Xiaoyue's voice lowered a little.
"Let them all immerse themselves in it, and really think that they are creating national idols. Only when the feelings between both parties are true can the audience feel true." An ambitious look flashed in Yang Xiaoyue's eyes.
"I will do my best." Sun Miao didn't dare to make a promise.
"Okay, do your best!" Yang Xiaoyue smiled: "Miaomiao, you go back first! I will report to the company about the meeting."
Chapter completed!
