Chapter 75 Crazy Female Fan

"Separation of production and broadcasting" is a hot topic in TV station reform, that is, the main body of TV programs and the main body of TV broadcasting are separated. TV stations no longer "cover the bottom line" and are only responsible for the production of news, current affairs and other programs.

Peking TV station has a special geographical location, and the separation of production and broadcasting was slower than that of local stations. In the middle of the year, some news leaked out.

Based on his more than ten years of media experience, Wang Changtian judged that with the vigorous development of my country's economy, the current "old-fashioned" TV programs cannot satisfy residents' growing consumption levels.

Television program production is a new trend. Rebus, a child genius, said: "If you stand on the trend, pigs will fly."

Now the two pigs in the limelight exchange their "experiences".

Xu Chen sharpened his knife to "Light", this big fat pig of China's entertainment industry was tender and delicious. At its peak, it controlled more than half of the "entertainment throats" in the country.

Now~

Mr. Xu smiled faintly: "That's right, comrade, I was instructed by Chief Ye to come to Peking TV Station to apply for a program..."

"Chief Ye, the host committee of the party?"

Xu Chen smiled and said nothing.

Wang Changtian was not a newbie in the workplace, but he was still frightened.

Chief Ye is not the leader in charge of "Beiping TV Station", but his uncle is the boss in charge of the propaganda outlet.

Peking TV Station’s first attempt to “separate production and broadcasting” was very small, with only two spots available.

Wang Changtian is a member of "Beiping TV Station" and is well-informed. Xu Chen, an outsider, can successfully go through the interview process...

There are relationships outside people, and there are gods outside heaven!

Wang Changtian was in awe and said enthusiastically: "Welcome, welcome, hello Comrade Xu, I am Wang Changtian, currently living as a program director at Beiping TV Station."

"Are you Comrade Wang Changtian?" Xu Chen pretended and praised: "Beiping Express is an epoch-making program. This time, Chief Ye asked me to come and said that I would like to learn more from Comrade Wang Changtian of Peking TV Station if I have the opportunity!"

Xu Chen said "Chief Ye" on the left and "Chief Ye" on the right. In this era, he believed in power.

They are both adults and soon became "brothers and brothers".

After chatting for a while, Xu Chen asked casually, "Lao Wang, what show are you planning to do?"

Xu Chen talks like an old king. The more he puts on airs, the more people respect him.

"Brother Xu, to be honest, I don't have any particularly good ideas right now." Wang Changtian looked embarrassed: "Taili's system reform has just been launched for half a month, and the person in charge is Director Yu. He is my old leader. Isn't this right? , I’m about to report some immature ideas to Director Yu.”

"Light" has not yet determined the "entertainment" production route.

Mr. Xu did not presume to give advice. The most taboo thing in life is to talk briefly and talk deeply.

…………

I sat at the door for a while.

Xu Chen and Wang Changtian met Director Yu of "Beiping TV Station".

Director Yu is young and strong, a leader of the "Young Strong Faction", and is called "Tiger Yu" in Peking circles.

"Beiping TV Station" is in a special position. It is suppressed by CCTV. It "does a lot of things and makes a lot of mistakes." If the program produces results, CCTV will give it a beating. If the program does not produce results, it is a waste of station resources.

After more than ten years, "Beiping TV Station" has become what is jokingly called "CCTV Peiping Branch" in the circle.

"Yu Laohu" is not afraid. He dares to do the programs that CCTV dares to do. He rushes to do the programs that CCTV dares to do. He is rebellious, and then he is exiled and "separated from production and broadcasting" by the person in charge.

It was the first time that Peiping TV Station tried to "separate production and broadcasting", but it didn't expect to achieve any results. It was just fine.

Xu Chen and Wang Changtian took their seats.

"Yu Laohu" had a livid face and gave him a show of authority. He raised his hand to stop the two of them from introducing themselves and said in a deep voice: "Don't tell me your names yet. The ugly words will come first. I don't care whose relatives you are or what background you have." , I only watch the program. If you think your program is good, you can talk about it. If you want to fish in troubled waters, please get out now."

Xu Chen and Wang Changtian looked at each other, "Yu Huhu" was indeed a tiger.

"Director Yu, my program is called "China in Classics"." Xu Chen took the lead in talking about the project and took out the plan for "China in Classics" from his briefcase.

This thing is very rare now. It is a thick book, with dragons and phoenixes in small seal script of the Qin Dynasty: "China in the classics."

There was no PPT at this time, so Xu Chen opened his notebook and wrote down: "Looking for the sage's secrets and exploring the dialogue between ancient and modern times."

He kept talking: "Director Yu, please look at the V... plan. I have reviewed the program background, program status, program features, investment promotion, and program IP development..."

Xu Chen went straight to the topic. "Yu Laohu" had a good impression. If he told the background, it would be hurtful to refuse.

Don’t talk about the background, just talk about the program. It’s not okay to reject it as a “program”. It has nothing to do with the background. It won’t offend people and it can select good projects.

Xu Chen is not the first person he has ever met to "show", but he is indeed the first person to "obey the rules".

"China in the classics..."

The "plan" is very thick, with ten lines at a glance, and it simply clarifies the concept of "China in the classics".

Yu Laohu raised his eyebrows slightly...

This show is really good!

First impression: This program has a novel format and high intentions, which is in line with the status of "Beiping TV Station".

Compared with the previous "programmers" who had sorted out the messy creativity, such as beauty pageants, ballet, traffic jam competitions, variety shows...

"China in the Classics" can be called a breath of fresh air.

At least it's a cultural attribute.

Listening to Xu Chen's talk, Director Yu raised his hand, frowned and asked: "Comrade Xu, what do you mean by "IP" development?"

Xu Chen did not introduce himself, but his face is his "resume". Director Yu is not so out of date that he does not know the most popular "only mainland young person on stage at the evening party."

The two are "rivals in love". His wife likes Xu Chen very much.

"Director Yu, "IP" is simply a project. A good project can develop a lot of resources..."

"For example, "China in Classics", as long as we make it a "cultural business card", then subsequent books, TV series, movies, stage plays, music radio dramas, songs...all kinds of profit-making models and ideas..."

Xu Chen talked endlessly and finally concluded: "I call this "killing two birds with one stone."

Mr. Xu has his own ideas. In this era, TV series cannot be filmed just because you want to. Without some connections, the filmed ones will be covered in dust in the warehouse.

With the platform built by the program, TV series will be a natural thing.

Not only that, the current mainstream propaganda media are newspapers and TV.

Xu Chen's base camp is Beiping. There are only benefits and no harm in building a good relationship with Beiping TV Station.

CCTV...

CCTV doesn't care about Mr. Xu!

TV programs are the way with the lowest trial and error cost but the best effect!

…

"China in Classics" Xu Chen has done his best, and it's not his business whether Beiping TV Station wants it or not.

Xu Chen has a "backup plan".

If "China in Classics" Beiping TV Station doesn't want it, "Time Pictures" will transform into an "advertising company" on the spot.

"Suzhou River" Lou Ye was short of money for filming a movie, so he seamlessly connected to filming commercials, and raised 20 million in two years.

Standing at the crossroads of the millennium. Xu Chen has many ways to make money.

For example, book signings!

"Book signings" are very common in 2023, and "female bodhisattvas" have come out to sign books.

But in 1997, "book signings" were a very serious form of activity, and those who were qualified to sign books were either literary giants or music kings and queens.

As of 1997, only princesses had held book signings in the mainland.

At the autograph session for Sun Nan, Liu Huan, and Na Ying, only a few hundred albums were signed, but no fans bought them, and they dared not to promote them in newspapers.

In the final analysis...

There are too few young idol stars in China!

Xu Chen is currently the only "youth idol" in the mainland, and there is no sign of "idol-style" Li soft fans~

However.

He himself was not confident about how many albums he could sign at the first autograph session, and only gave "Tsinghua Tongfang" a conservative number of 20,000.

"Tsinghua Tongfang" was speechless. For 20,000 albums, a minimum of 6,000 people must participate in the autograph session.

What does 6,000 people mean...

"Beijing Cyber ​​​​Shopping Center" is currently the largest shopping mall in Beijing, claiming to be able to accommodate 3,500 people at the same time.

In other words, if there are 6,000 people, Beiping Cyber ​​​​Shopping Center will not only be overcrowded, but the square in front of the door will be crowded!

The current holder of the mainland autograph record, the princess, has signed only 5,000 albums.

Is Xu Chen more popular than the princess? ?

The number was too outrageous, and the person in charge of the "Tsinghua Tongfang" signing event ignored it and secretly transferred 8,000 albums!

…………

July 16, 1997, 7:00 am.

It was the first signing event, and Mr. Xu was very nervous. After working so hard for so long, he finally got to meet his female fans!

Who wouldn't want to have a passionate and lively female fan who doesn't ask for anything in return, selflessly dedicates herself, and is willing to burn herself to illuminate her idol?

Of course.

After all, it was the first signing event, and Mr. Xu was afraid to "ask" his good sister Zhou Huiming for advice on the signing experience.

These days.

Mr. Xu would chat with Zhou Huiming whenever he had something to do.

Zhou Huiming was soft-tempered, docile and gentle, and didn't know how to refuse people at all, not to mention that she asked Xu Chen about piano problems, and Xu Chen was a good friend of his good friend Zhang Guorong.

After being on guard for a day or two, he opened up and became good friends with Xu Chen. He cared about his brother very much: "Ah Chen, you are so awesome. You are going to sign books so soon. Hahahaha, I didn't dare to go on stage the first time I signed books. It was my agent who pushed me up."

"My experience is to treat fans as your good friends. Don't be afraid. Fans are very cute."

Mr. Xu said slyly: "I am also a fan of Sister Huiming."

"Are you trying to say you are cute? Hahahaha, I want to complain to Sister Fei. Can you help me? Be more mature!!!" Zhou Huiming mercilessly exposed Xu Chen: "You must be a fake fan, then tell me what song I like the most."

"It must be "Single Love Song", Sister Huiming, you won't hurt a poor person who is about to go on stage for the first time to sign books."

"Hey, Chen, you are too shameless, okay~ I like your "Single Love Song" the most, good luck in signing, it's a pity that I have to go to Canada, otherwise I will definitely treat you to "Cappuccino" when you go to Hong Kong!"

Xu Chen's mouth curled up: "Then I wish Sister Huiming a safe journey~"
