Ren Changzhen, Yan Dazhong, Zhang Minghuan, and Yang Xiaoqing are the four directors who won the bid for the directing team of "Bite of the Tongue".

Xu Xin didn't have too much involvement in the director's bidding because the system adopted for the entire project was a "project system." If you really want to talk about it, CCTV still controls the program, so the team is also selected by CCTV.

Xu Xin did not argue too much with Luo Ming about this matter of the right to speak.

He is relatively able to understand his own position.

In terms of affiliation in this matter, CCTV is naturally the boss.

In fact, there is no need to specifically clarify this point of view here. If any individual director or crew cooperates with CCTV, then they must be the boss.

You must admit that no matter what CCTV does, it has an unparalleled advantage over any local TV station or capital power.

Across the country, there are too many outstanding talents relying on them.

But that doesn't mean that he, as a director, has no rights.

If the program is really successful, then the credit must be shared equally between the director and CCTV.

But being able to "share evenly" with CCTV is already a big deal.

As for Xu Xin, he actually put forward two requirements for the selection of the director team.

First, the team must have strong local experience.

This requirement of emphasis made Luo Ming and the others focus almost entirely on local-related programs. Target.

Even the directors who have worked with CCTV 7 are the focus of inspection

No, Ren Changzhen is the backbone of the editing and directing of seven "People" documentaries.

Before resigning in 2005, he had been the executive director of "Long Live Life" and "Keep the Craft" under the "People" variety documentary.

He has very rich experience in rural work.

After leaving his job, he has been working in the documentary field, cooperating with local stations, focusing on the regional culture of various provinces and cities.

It is the best choice for the team.

Yan Dazhong, who was also the director of "People" and resigned together with Ren Changzhen, is a golden partner who has worked together for many years.

Xu Xin didn't ask why these two people left their jobs in the first place...

In fact, if you think about it, you can tell to some extent that the two of them are pornographic

Partner Jin has become the executive director of a large-scale documentary, and his future is bright.

But he just resigned...

There was more or less something going on here, but he didn't ask.

The following Zhang Minghuan and Yang Xiaoqing also have rich resumes.

After reading the resumes of the four directors, Xu Xin felt relieved.

come over.

The second request he made was to get Fang Xiu because Luo Ming leaked the information at the first meeting.

At first glance, this program appears to be the "Charm Record" column, but in fact, the "Charm Record" group will set up a brand new channel in October this year.

CCTV—Documentary Channel.

And this group of people are the backbone of the channel.

Fang Xiu’s own people, in CCTV, Xu Xin felt that a brand new channel would have a better future.

Lao Fang has enough academic qualifications and is even preparing to take the PhD exam.

In a brand new channel, there is also a national support plan to support the cause, which will definitely be better than the original plan.

Some.

But Luo Ming didn't take this request seriously at all."

Because it's too simple.

With just one transfer, Fang Xiu had already joined the team of "Charming Records".

At the same time, he will also serve as the photographer of the photography team of "The Tip of the Tongue".

Director Xu's old classmate.

It must be taken care of.

And the content I’m meeting with you today is relatively simple.

Even following the same pattern, Xu Xin re-narrated the overall concept of "The Tip of the Tongue" in front of several directors.

Then start doing the preliminary project planning work.

But there was a small episode in the middle.

It allowed him to understand the somewhat upright character of Ren Changzhen, the director he valued most.

Chen Xiaoqing, director of the project planning department under "Charming Record", made a suggestion regarding the overall project plan for "The Tip of the Tongue".

"Can we take advantage of the celebrity effect? ​​Invite some celebrities to come and promote the delicacies of their respective hometowns? For example, if we go to East

Bei, just invite Shen Xiaoyang. For example, in the cafeteria culture of those foreign Internet companies that is very popular now, we can also invite people like Cang Chaoyang, Ding Sanshi... and we can also get a lot of sponsorship."

This is purely a suggestion.

After all, it is an indisputable fact that the project funds for "The Tip of the Tongue" are tight.

Of the five documentaries that were piloted, it alone earned 5 million yuan. As a person in the project planning department, he was under a lot of pressure.

The other four projects share 10 million equally... It seems impossible even if I think about it.

The documentaries that can be shortlisted are all documentaries approved by CCTV. Which one to be cut off... It is difficult to explain in all aspects.

He could only find another way to think about how to solve the funding problem.

What's more... these things won't take up much time. If the money is more, then the funding for "Tiangue" will be much looser, and the pressure on him will be much less.

It's a "win-win" situation.

Xu Xin can understand his mentality very well.

Chang Zhen seemed to have been touched by some taboos, so she directly raised objections at the meeting:

"No! If you want to shoot like this, I will never do it! I will never shoot celebrities!"

The level of reaction was beyond many people's expectations. But her words were actually very confident.

She is a freelance director and was shortlisted for the competition this time.

The worst case scenario is not to do it anymore.

Nothing is lost.

Quite hard.

She has already come out of the CCTV system, and she is "a strong person", but Chen Xiaoqing's face is a little uneasy:

"What's wrong with celebrities? Celebrities plus delicious food get more ratings. Don't you like Shen Xiaoyang?"

"I have no problem with Shen Xiaoyang. As the son of a Northeasterner, there is nothing wrong with him appearing in my film. But if he appears in my film as a celebrity, I can't accept it!"

The two suddenly "conflicted" at the meeting.

And just after she finished speaking, the smell of gunpowder suddenly rose, Xu Xin waved his hand:

"Director Ren, please don't be so excited. You don't understand what Director Chen means."

He suppressed Ren Changzhen's sharp-edged anger.

Then he turned to look at Chen Xiaoqing:

"Director Chen, I understand what you mean, but in this film we are exploring the cultural roots of our nation through "eating". It is a bit narrow-minded to invite celebrities. What we want is not to promote whose birthplace has delicious food, but Through different food diversity, we can see a colorful film that highlights our spiritual core through food culture. Director Luo, are you right?"

After Luo Ming's eyes met with his, he understood the meaning and nodded:

"Yes. Lao Chen is actually worried that our funds are tight and it will be difficult for women to make a living without rice."

Sincerely."

"I understand that Director Chen is worried about our program team." Xu Xin said with a smile:

"But it doesn't matter if you are poorer or more miserable. The big idea of ​​the show cannot be changed. It is to explore our "roots" through food. If this idea is gone, no matter how much money you have, the whole pot of soup will have changed."

smell…………

Therefore, Director Chen, you should work harder and withstand this pressure. No matter who says you are partial, you have to bite the bullet!

If you don't mention anything else, just look at Director Ren's sincere attitude. When our film comes out, it will definitely be no worse than any documentary! Director Ren's attitude is also the truest expectation of all of us sitting at this table today.

Am I right?"

He and Luo Ming cooperated to take away all their anger.

It comes to the original intention of "for the good of the program".

Chen Xiaoqing's face looks good.
