Chapter 85 Host
As the end of the year approaches, all program groups of the entertainment channel are starting to work, hoping to give leaders a satisfactory answer in the last few months of the year.
The program team of "80s Talk Show Tonight" is also making preparations for the first episode of the program to be launched next week.
In the tea room, Tan Yue took a cup of coffee and sat in a booth. Opposite him was director Zhang Peng, who was drinking boiled water.
"Teacher Tan, our program is almost ready, but the host has not been decided yet. What should we do?" Zhang Peng said with a sad face.
These days, Zhang Peng has also followed Tan Yue to interview several batches of hosts.
When I heard that "Tonight's 80s Talk Show" was looking for a host, not only the entertainment channel hosts were interested, but many hosts from other channels also came over and wanted to try.
But most of them failed, and two or three that were pretty good were sent back to wait for news.
Zhang Peng and Tan Yue chatted for a while and found out that Tan Yue was actually not satisfied with these people.
Zhang Peng is also a director who has worked in Taiwan for many years. He has made achievements in the urban channel before, otherwise he would not have been transferred to the entertainment channel to partner Tan Yue. His ability is very outstanding.
During this time, Zhang Peng has also been studying new programs. If there is anything he doesn't understand, he will directly ask Tan Yue and strive to understand the program thoroughly.
At first, he didn't quite understand why Tan Yue had such high demands on the host.
But the more he learned about "80s Talk Show Tonight," the more he discovered the importance of the host to this program.
He has also studied the popular "Wisdom Tree" before. If "Wisdom Tree" is the highlight of everyone on the stage, including the two male and female hosts, Hong Guo Guo Green Pao, and several guest families, this They are all places that attract audiences.
So the biggest highlight of "Tonight's Post-80s Talk Show" is the host. All the shots are given to the host. This is very demanding. Not only does the host need to have deep hosting skills, but he also needs to be able to be proficient in hosting. When shaking the baggage, the baggage should be shaken naturally so that the audience can catch it.
Alas, it is indeed a bit tricky.
Tan Yue took a sip of coffee and gently turned the coffee cup in his hand. He was also thinking about the host of the show. "If the show wants to be the best, it cannot do without a suitable host, but I have been looking for one." If we don’t find one that suits our program, I wouldn’t feel comfortable finding another host.”
After listening to Tan Yue's words, Zhang Peng also felt a pain in his head.
He respects Tan Yue for his ability to produce a hit show like "Wisdom Tree". And the more contact he had with Tan Yue during this period, the more he discovered that Tan Yue's ideas were wild and unconstrained. Sometimes he would casually say a good idea that made his eyes light up. The more he admired Tan Yue.
Similarly, the more he discovers Tan Yue's excellence, the more he looks forward to cooperating with Tan Yue this time. Will "Tonight's Post-80s Talk Show" have the same outstanding results as "The Wisdom Tree"?
Two days ago, Satellite TV issued an announcement saying that Zheng Guang, the original director of "Wisdom Tree", was directly transferred to Satellite TV because of his outstanding performance and the ratings of "Wisdom Tree" exceeded 16.
Zhang Peng didn't know that Zheng Guang's cousin was the deputy director of the provincial TV station. He thought that Zheng Guang was transferred to the satellite TV as the deputy director because of "The Wisdom Tree".
In fact, it is indeed because of "Wisdom Tree". Without the bonus of "Wisdom Tree", it would be difficult for Zheng Guang to get into satellite TV even if he had connections.
In this regard, Zhang Peng's thinking is actually not bad.
Zheng Guang's example is there. If "Tonight's Post-80s Talk Show" can have such good results, Zhang Peng doesn't think he is worse than Zheng Guang. If he works hard, he might be able to get into satellite TV.
However, he has never presented a program with a ratings of over 10 before. Now he suddenly wants a new program to reach the level of "Wisdom Tree". It is not an extravagant wish, but there is Tan Yue.
"Teacher Tan, should we go to the provincial station to look for it?" Zhang Peng suggested.
Of course, he hopes that the program will be presented in the best possible way and the ratings will be higher. Tan Yue doesn't want to make do with it, and he doesn't want to make do with it either.
Although there are many hosts in Jishui City TV station, compared with the hosts in provincial stations, both in terms of quantity and professionalism, they are still one level behind.
There is no suitable host in the Jishui City TV station, but there may not be one in the provincial station. It is very possible to find one.
However, just after Zhang Peng finished speaking, he smiled bitterly and shook his head.
"Teacher Tan, we have to go to the provincial station to find a host. It might be troublesome. Alas." Zhang Peng sighed.
Tan Yue also nodded.
One reason is that the host of the provincial station has a high vision. How can he condescend to go to a city TV station? Don’t tell others how much potential the "Post-80s Talk Show Tonight" program will have in the future. Before the ratings are released, these are just discussions. If you act like a hooligan, people will basically not believe you.
Another important reason is the issue of personnel transfer. If the provincial station wants to transfer people from the city, it is a matter of just one sentence. After all, the ranks are there, and all it takes is a greeting from the leader of the provincial station. And if the city station wants to transfer people from the provincial station, it will be a top-down transfer. After a batch of processes are completed, you don't know how many weeks it will be.
"80s Talk Show Tonight" will premiere next Sunday, and it can't be delayed at all.
Tan Yue finished the coffee in his coffee cup and said, "I will think about this matter again. I will select the person in the next two days, and the filming must officially start before next Wednesday."
Zhang Peng nodded and said, "Teacher Tan, let's find a solution together. The solutions are all thought up by people. Don't put too much pressure on you."
Zhang Peng paused for a moment and then said helplessly: "But the director and the others should be watching too. Today in the bathroom, the director told me why the host hasn't been decided yet."
Tan Yue could only smile bitterly after hearing this.
After the two people finished talking, Zhang Peng stood up and left with the cup, while Tan Yue went to get another cup of coffee and returned to his work station.
Other aspects of the program team are almost ready, except that the host is not in place.
Tan Yue and Zhang Peng were also very interested in this, but Tan Yue felt that the hosts he met were not interesting at all.
The host of "Tonight's 80s Talk Show" has not been decided, and as expected, even the director couldn't sit still.
This program is the highlight of the weekend prime time show!
In terms of the importance of the time slot, it is second only to Saturday night at eight o'clock. After Li Shutang left this time, such an important time slot was not given to those programs on the channel with a ratings of over 10, but a very important time slot was prepared. Potential new show.
Regarding the new program "Tonight's Post-80s Talk Show", everyone from the station leaders to the director and director are paying attention, but there really can't be any mistakes.
In the afternoon, Gao Quan, director of the entertainment channel, was in the office.
"Sit down, I called you two over because I want to talk about the show."
Gao Quan asked Tan Yue and Zhang Peng to sit on the sofa, while he sat on the other side and said with a smile.
After the two people sat down, Gao Quancai continued to ask: "I heard that the host of our show has not been decided yet, right?"
Tan Yue nodded and said: "Yes, Director, Director Zhang and I have recently interviewed some hosts on the station, but we both felt that the hosting style did not match the program very well, so we have not decided yet."
"For programs like talk shows, the role of the host is very important, so we didn't dare to be careless. We wanted to find a host who could fit our program, but we never found one, so we kept putting it off."
Gao Quan frowned slightly and said, "Isn't it appropriate?"
Gao Quan nodded with a wry smile: "Yes, Director, I have interviewed three or four batches of teachers with Teacher Tan in the past few days. Some of them are very capable hosts, but they do not fit in with the style of our program."
Gao Quan also had a headache after hearing this, "That's it."
"Tonight's Post-80s Talk Show" is a key program on the channel and even on the station. It must not be careless. The program is too rough. How can the ratings be guaranteed? The leaders have high hopes for this program.
But the program will be broadcast on TV next week, and there is no way to delay it.
Looking at Director Gao Quan's troubled expression, Zhang Peng whispered: "Director, Teacher Tan and I had an idea before."
After listening to Zhang Peng's words, Gao Quan immediately became energetic and asked curiously: "What do you think? To put it bluntly, if it is good for the program, I will definitely support it."
Zhang Peng said: "In the morning, Teacher Tan and I looked at the information about the hosts of the provincial station. There are two hosts who are very suitable for "Tonight's Post-80s Talk Show." It would be great if we can transfer people from the provincial station. ”
Gao Quan was stunned. He didn't expect that Zhang Peng's method was to transfer the host from the provincial station, and he immediately frowned.
Tan Yue and Zhang Peng are not in the administrative field, so they may think it is easy to transfer people from the province and Taiwan, but Gao Quan knows very well that there are not just one or two departments involved, and people are transferred from higher-level departments, which is even more difficult. Tricky.
I have to send more than a dozen emails alone, which is really troublesome. There are advantages and disadvantages to working within the system, which is one aspect of rigidity.
Gao Quan took a deep breath and said: "This is a bit troublesome, and the program will be broadcast next week. It will definitely be too late to go through the normal process."
"Let's do this. I'll discuss with the director later to see if we can transfer people here first and then go through the process."
After hearing what Gao Quan said, Zhang Peng and Tan Yue were very happy.
"That's a problem, director."
"Haha, that's great, Director Xinxin."
The two of them breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that the matter was resolved.
Boom, boom, boom.
At this time, there were two knocks on the office door.
Gao Quan turned to look over and said, "Come in."
The person outside opened the door and walked in. It was Director Ma Wanli.
Gao Quan, Tan Yue, and Zhang Peng immediately stood up and greeted Ma Wanli.
Ma Wanli also didn't expect Tan Yue and Zhang Peng to be here, and said with a smile: "We are all here, are we talking about work? Do you need me to go back first? Haha."
Gao Quan said quickly: "No, Director, I have something to discuss with you."
With that said, Gao Quan took two steps back and vacated a large space on his side of the sofa for Ma Wanli.
Ma Wanli sat down with some confusion, looked at the three of them and said, "What's going on?"
Gao Quan talked about the problems encountered by "Post-80s Talk Show Tonight" and his plan to recruit people from the provincial station.
Ma Wanli frowned slightly after hearing this, shook his head and said: "This is not easy to handle. I have to report it to the station director, and the people in the station director's office have to go to the provincial station to hand it over. After the process, the day lilies are cold."
After Ma Wanli finished speaking, the faces of Gao Quan, Tan Yue and Zhang Peng all fell.
Seeing the sad faces of the three people, Ma Wanli chuckled and said, "I think there is someone in our station who should be very suitable to be the host."
