452 New Variety Show
In a cafe called Xidi Island in Xuhui District, Shanghai, Joanna ordered a cup of Blue Mountain without adding sugar. While savoring slowly, she was waiting for the person opposite to her to reply.
Venus, a famous domestic dancer, the judge and mentor of the first "Dance Forest Conference", is also a person who thinks it is very controversial.
In China, where ideas and ideas are relatively traditional, most people always look at Venus with tinted glasses and strange eyes to examine her.
When Joanna proposed to hire Venus as the judges and mentor for "Dance Forest Conference", the production team also raised some doubts.
Director and creative director Jiang Linna took a fancy to the professionalism of Venus. As one of the few dancers in China who can have influence around the world, her appearance clearly represents the professionalism and the professionalism of this variety show.
Executive director Yan Min believes that the target audience of "Dance Forest Conference" is some adults who love dance and some fans who love to chase stars. If Venus is hired as a judge's mentor, then you have to risk the loss of some relatively conservative TV audiences. Is it not worth the loss?
One is professional and the other is from the audience. Both aspects seem to be correct, but Joanna is not considering this issue.
When Joanna was doing variety shows on NBC TV, she always had a lot of topics and controversies, and invited anyone if she had enough hot topics. Even if she was boycotted, she could just change her stars. There were not many other stars in Hollywood, but there were many celebrity artists who wanted to become famous. In order to become famous, some celebrity artists deliberately made incredible revelations on variety shows to attract the public's attention, add hot spots to themselves, and increase exposure.
When Joanna was considering Venus, in addition to her own professionalism, she originally hoped that she could use the controversy in her to increase the highlights of the show. Yan Min's proposal reminded her that this is China, not the United States.
China's interpersonal philosophy has many circle cultures. Most celebrity artists like to join in groups, such as Beijing, Shanghai, Northwest, Hong Kong and Taiwan, movies, TV, variety shows, singers, etc. Although they usually squeeze each other and are incompatible, as long as you touch their circle, they will immediately be unanimous to the outside world. Perhaps this is the cause of the vigilance of things to hurt their kind.
Therefore, in addition to considering the variety show and audience rate of the program, Joanna also needs to consider the relationship between the producer and celebrity artists. After all, the most important thing in doing variety shows is to do word of mouth, the quality of the program, the influence of the guests participating in the program, and the professionalism of the judges and mentors, all gather together to eventually become a good reputation among ordinary audiences and increase the ratings of the program. In this way, more celebrity celebrities can be invited to join, not just rely on Joanna's connections, after all, favors come at a price.
In the end, after repeated consideration, Joanna changed the original first judge, Jin Xing, to the third judge, with Tan Yonglin taking the role of the C position, and the second judge was Yu Chengqing from Wanwan, and Jin Xing was one of the three professional judges of the national standard. This not only avoided the dissatisfaction of the audience due to her own controversy, but also allowed her professional advantages to play.
But unexpectedly, after this season of "Dance Forest Conference", Venus was loved by the audience for her strict judges' style and sharp and unique personal insights. Her tit-for-tat performance with several judges also became one of the highlights of this variety show interface. So Joanna decided to create an interview talk show specifically for Venus.
Talk show is a language program form from Europe and the United States. Its original name is talkshow, which is a form of program that expresses the art of speaking. Venus, who has been in the United States for many years, also knew the expression of such programs. Whether it is "Oprah Talk Show" or "Alan Show" are her favorite columns. But when Joanna proposed to her, she was still a little hesitant.
"Mr. Qiao, to be honest, I am really moved by your proposal." Jin Xing said in a little embarrassedly: "I know my personality clearly. I speak too straightforwardly and easily offend people. If I do a conversation program, I am worried that all the guests who come will be offended by me in the end."
After so many years of ups and downs, Venus has long been accustomed to the outside world’s views on herself. Now she is accustomed to using words to package herself. This is her character, and she also hopes to use this method to arm herself. That’s why she confronted other judges at the "Dance Forest Conference" and used extremely sharp words to comment on contestants.
Jin Xing has a self-knowledge. She understands that if she hosts a talk show, it is definitely impossible to be as serious as "Lu Yu's appointment", it is impossible to pursue taste as excessively as "Yang Lan's Interview", and it is even more impossible to be as sensational as "Art Life" hosted by Zhu Jun of CCTV.
Venus is worried that if a show is too strong and self-centered, will it eventually form a bad reputation in the circle? At that time, there will certainly be some newcomers or down-and-out artists who will not care about the style of variety shows in order to increase their popularity, but it will be much more difficult to invite first-line stars or popular artists. After all, the other party also cherishes their own feathers, and will it affect their personality for a mere exposure.
"I suggest you think about it. After all, our domestic celebrity interview variety shows are too traditional. Everyone is sitting there seriously, and all interviews are conducted according to the pre-arranged script. Now the audience has become aesthetically fatigued. If there is really an alternative interview program, it will definitely be a refreshing feeling for the audience."
As he was thinking about Venus, Joanna continued: "As for the offending people you are worried about, you can rest assured. We can agree on what we cannot ask before the interview, and what the celebrities decide to ask themselves. Except for these questions, as long as it is a reasonable question, you don't have to worry about offending them. I will be your backing. In addition to the problems, I will take care of you."
With Joanna's promise, Venus was finally moved by her, but she didn't agree on the spot. She needed to communicate with her agent.
After reaching an oral agreement with Venus, Joanna was about to pay the bill and leave, but was stopped by a woman next to her, who was about thirties.
"Hello, Mr. Qiao. Can you delay your time for a few minutes?"
Joanna looked at her with an expectant expression, and there was nothing unusual. She waved her hand to Jin Xing, told her to leave first, and then sat down with the woman.
"Do we know each other? What's the matter with me?"
The woman apologized to Joanna first: "Mr. Qiao, I'm really embarrassed. I just heard your conversation with Teacher Jin Xing."
Joanna felt a little unhappy, but when she saw the other party pointing it out directly, she was not angry and said to the woman: "It doesn't matter, we are just discussing work matters. If you apologize for this matter, there is no need."
After saying that, Joanna was about to get up, and the woman hurriedly said, "Mr. Qiao, I still have something to look for you."
"Is there really something wrong? Please tell me." Joanna looked at the woman's expression without looking fake, and then sat down slowly.
"Mr. Qiao, my name is Zhang Qian. My wife and I have met you at the New Year's Day reception in the Shanghai literary and art world with Teacher Guan Tiandong."
"Peking opera master Guan Tiandong? Do you know him?"
"Yes, my wife once studied comedy with Teacher Yan Shunkai, performed in the Peking Opera Troupe in Shanghai, and always called Teacher Guan Tiandong the eldest brother."
"Oh, I remember, is your lover's name Zhou... Bo..." Joanna thought for a while, and she had actually met this person at a cocktail party. At that time, a man with a low-tall and greasy face with a man standing next to Guan Tiandong should be her husband, but she was stuck for a moment and couldn't remember what his name was.
"Zhou Libo."
"Yes, it's Zhou Libo." Joanna nodded: "I heard from Teacher Guan that day that they were building a small theater."
"Yes, they are building a small theater called 'Haipai Qingkou', and there are some audiences at present. It's just that the promotion is not enough, so it has not become popular." Zhang Qian took the initiative to say: "I look for you because I hope you can give my lover a chance. He is really a very talented person."
"Chance?"
"Yes, chance, I believe he will not let you down..."
