Chapter 430 It Can Be Done!
Zhuang Buyuan discussed with Zhuang's father and producer Zhao for a while, and then basically finalized the draft.
Follow Dad Zhuang to make wine. This first issue is "Looking for Monkey Wine!"
Of course, we have to make up some stories first. For example, when Dad Zhuang was young, he heard his grandfather tell the story of Monkey Wine. His grandfather said that when he was young, he fled to the mountains. In the ice and snow, he was so hungry that he couldn't bear it, but he had no intention of doing so. Suddenly, I discovered a tree hole. The liquid in the tree hole was clear and sweet, with a strong aroma of wine. After drinking it, I finally withstood the severe cold, replenished my calories, and walked out of the mountain...
Regardless of whether this story is reasonable or not, producer Zhao said that after returning to the story, he will find a third-rate Internet writer to polish it to ensure that it can scare people.
Then again, before my grandfather passed away, his only regret was that he never tasted Monkey Wine again, saying, "It's really the most beautiful thing in the world, the spirit of all things" and so on.
For stories, we need to look for some famous mountains and rivers with beautiful scenery and shoot groups of beautiful pictures.
At this point, the opinions of both parties diverge.
What Producer Zhao wants to produce is a variety show, not a scenic documentary, or a documentary, and it is not a one-man show of Mr. Zhuang.
Producer Zhao is still a bit ambitious. The entertainment industry is also a place where seniority and power are valued.
What is qualifications? Being able to make people famous means qualifications; when there are more people making people famous, they have power and the ability to influence people.
He wanted to create a popular variety show. He would first find a few first-tier, second-tier, and outdated first-tier stars, and then find a few new people, pair them up, let these people interact, and use the popularity of the first-tier stars to bring Popular programs, and then use the program to boost the popularity of first-line stars and increase the value of newcomers...
In this way, it is inevitable that Zhuang's father's glory will be overshadowed. After all, Zhuang's father is not a professional artist.
Zhuang Buyuan hopes that this program is too entertaining. At least the first episode of "Looking for Monkey Wine" should be more realistic and not too entertaining or fake.
The two sides argued for a while and finally gradually reached a consensus.
The first few minutes of this program are a series of quick clips of Dad Zhuang traveling through famous mountains and rivers, mainly using action cameras and body-worn photography to explain the background and create a sense of reality.
Then the program team heard the news and hoped to cooperate with Dad Zhuang, provide supplies to Dad Zhuang, and let them record the process...
Then find six celebrities to form a team and follow Dad Zhuang into the mountains. Apart from the guide and the camera crew, there are no other candidates.
The celebrities have to follow Dad Zhuang, trekking through mountains and rivers, hiring planes to drop supplies on their way every day to help them reduce their luggage...
Zhuang Buyuan still feels dissatisfied with this, especially the addition of celebrities will greatly weaken the sense of reality...
And why does it feel like Father Zhuang has become Master Bei?
This is not the effect Zhuang Buyuan wants.
It's just that Producer Zhao also needs to consider ratings, revenue, and the feelings of the entertainment industry...
While talking, Zhuang Buyuan got annoyed and said: "Old Zhao, how much do you earn at the TV station?"
"What?"
"Salary, or income."
"Uh..." Producer Zhao wondered, "What do you mean by this?"
"Whatever Xucheng TV will give you, I will give you double the amount from Almighty Manor. Come and do it with me!"
"ha?"
"What's the point of being half-dead at Vucheng TV Station? We're still tied up in making a show. Let's set up a production company and produce our own show. When it's finished, we'll put the show up for auction and see who gets the highest price. We’ll sell it to whoever it is!”
What Producer Zhao wants to say is, damn, will anyone buy it? No one cares about it, right?
But looking at Zhuang Buyuan, and then thinking about Zhuang Buyuan's property and worth, my heart suddenly jumped violently.
Although he is a producer, he is not a big role in the TV station, and he is not even a role in the entertainment industry.
What's the point of living half-dead for the rest of your life?
Is this invitation from Zhuang Buyuan a great opportunity?
"I...I'll think about it..." Producer Zhao's heart was already moved, but he was still hesitating.
"It seems that double is not enough. One advantage of me is that I am never short of hungry soldiers. I will give you 10% of the shares in the production company."
Next to me, Mr. Chen pouted, "You don't need hungry soldiers?" Our bosses who were paid 4,000 yuan for the construction of the Virtual City Tunnel are not convinced!
"Okay, I'll do it!" Producer Zhao did not hesitate.
In fact, he is nothing. There are many people who are more powerful than him in this circle. Zhuang Buyuan is waving banknotes, what kind of people can't be invited? This kind of opportunity is also because Zhuang Buyuan only knows him before cooperating with him. If he doesn't know what he is interested in, Zhuang Buyuan can hire someone ten times more qualified than him.
"Then listen to me. We don't invite any big stars. We invite all new people. New people can't be newer. They can endure hardships and are obedient. Form a small team. Everyone will be the cameraman and shoot by themselves. Everyone will enter the country. , put aside the routines of current entertainment programs, let’s just shoot it once, if it doesn’t work, we’ll have to reshoot it, let’s try it first!” Zhuang Buyuan said, “Everything is based on reality.”
What can Producer Zhao say? Zhuang Buyuan is the boss. What he says is an order. Can you disobey the boss?
"Then I'll try...to cast a role." Producer Zhao said.
In fact, there are many newcomers in this world who are either unappreciated or waiting for opportunities.
Can you endure hardship and be obedient? Before he became famous, he was very obedient and able to endure hardships.
Becoming a big name only happens after you become famous, popular and spoiled.
Zhuang Buyuan's idea is that even the camera work is done by these people, and basic training is required.
I feel that Zhuang Buyuan's documentary is an entertainment documentary.
Producer Zhao couldn't figure out how to position it for a while.
But if you think about it carefully, this idea still has great potential.
Since we are venturing into the jungle, everyone must have a different positioning.
Everyone cannot be a vase, they must have genuine skills.
For example, some people are guides and have wilderness survival skills; some people are physically strong and can be responsible for the luggage; some people have medical knowledge, and some people are responsible for cooking...
There are also characters, some are warm men, some are tough guys, some are cute girls, some are calm strategists...
I have encountered various difficulties and obstacles along the way and different solutions. Thinking about it this way, there is still a lot that can be used in this process.
Producer Zhao's eyes gradually lit up.
It works!
This show works!
But now there is another problem...
"How will this Monkey Wine be presented to everyone in the end? This last scene is the most important. It has to be shocking and very real. And this shooting location cannot be a place that everyone is familiar with, otherwise it will be confused all of a sudden and the authenticity will be easily lost. feel."
"Monkey wine uses mixed fruits. It's best to have a forest of mixed fruits." Dad Zhuang suggested next to him.
"Leave this to me." In Zhuang Buyuan's mind, he already had many places to choose from.
For example, within Huanshan Mountain, for many years, Huanshan Mountain has been almost uninhabited due to its complex and primitive terrain. However, after Zhuang Buyuan dug the tunnel, he saw that in the Huanshan Mountain Valley, there are luxuriant plants and no natural carvings.
As for the mixed fruit forest? That's not simple yet.
