Chapter 417 The Premiere Ratings Are Out

What are the pros and cons of the two programs?

Pete Chen is full of confidence: "Our biggest advantage should be the star configuration. The longer the broadcast time, the better the cooperation of our regular guests will be. The tacit understanding in the game is absolutely incomparable to Running Man and them."

Everyone asked with interest: "How do you say that?"

Pete Chen said: "I participated in the production of the bbc reality show Simpson's Friends five years ago. They are similar to the running man model. They invite entertainment stars to participate in various game activities. There is a tacit understanding between the Simpson family, but every episode The guests will be more or less out of touch with the Simpsons, seem to be unable to keep up with the rhythm, and it seems that the fluency will be greatly reduced. Even if it is filled with exquisite post-production, it cannot cover up this defect. In the end, this program was rejected. British netizens joked that the Simpsons met other big stars by chance."

With the lessons learned from the bbc program, Pete Chen's experience made everyone very confident. The chairman even said: "It's better for us to challenge the super. Guests steal the spotlight!"

If Yang An could hear it, he would actually think that what Pete Chen said made sense.

However, the positioning of Running Men and Jitiao are different. Most of Running Men invite guests, and rarely only seven of them, while Jitiao is mostly a fixed six-member team, and rarely invites guests. The styles of the two programs are consistent. Thinking is different.

Pete Chen deliberately didn't mention one point, that is, the biggest weakness of the super challenge is also the guests. If this problem cannot be solved, it will be fatal to themselves. They must find suitable guests to serve as a regular team.

It's like if the ultimate challenge is not entrusted to people, and if you meet a few guests who can't let go, entangled and out of tune, this show will be unwatchable, but the fault tolerance rate of Running Man is much better, and the guests have a tacit understanding It doesn't matter if it's not enough, because the positioning of the running man is to belittle his fixed team and try to highlight the guests. At least half of the audience watch the show for the guests.

Regarding the intricate relationship between idols, ratings, and program quality in variety shows, Pete Chen does not want to tell others for the time being that this is a very complicated content, and even he himself cannot explain it clearly.

The chairman doesn't know much about the specific business content. There are not many high-level executives in Xuanhuang Entertainment who can clearly recognize the strength of competitors and calmly analyze themselves. Even if someone is sincerely doing good for the company, at this moment, no one Will be stupid enough to pour cold water on everyone.

It was close to eleven o'clock in the evening, and the ratings had already been calculated. Let's Run Brothers had a rating of 3.2. It was already very good to get this data on Monday night.

The Running Man team is very satisfied with the result. At the morning meeting on Tuesday, Yang An highly praised the Running Man production team: "Everyone has done a very good job, everyone has worked hard! The broadcast of 3.2 basically means that the ratings will be lower after stabilization. It will be lower than 4. If we invite some first-line stars at home and abroad, it will not be a problem to break 5. As an outdoor reality show, I think it is very good!"

But Sun Dapao and others still took the initiative to make a review: "Relying on the CCTV platform, we failed to achieve the record ratings of 3.6 for the original Great Challenge. We feel very ashamed. We have not improved our strength to a higher level in two years. It’s because we haven’t worked hard enough, I’m sorry everyone! Mr. Yang, I assure you, we will definitely make a qualitative breakthrough in the next issue!”

"It's okay, your team did a good job!"

"Sun Dapao, you can't even broadcast 3.2. What do you think of our happy comedian with the highest record of 3 in the whole year? Can you save face?"

"We, If You Are the One, can't reach this record, Sun Dapao, you asked me to help you find a girlfriend a few days ago, it's a waste of time, I solemnly declare now, we are friends!"

Everyone was encouraging Sun Dapao and the others, deliberately making light-hearted jokes.

To be honest, because of the timing of CCTV’s re-election, the first episode of Running Man was launched in a hurry, and the publicity was not enough. One week’s hype was far from enough.

The normal round of hype lasts at least one month. Various promotional videos are released, posters are produced, the program team goes to various TV stations to run announcements, accept interviews, interviews on the Internet and radio stations, etc. This is a complete promotion cycle.

So Yang An didn't care that the ratings didn't break the old hen record, and most people in Enron Company didn't care either. They were full of confidence in the stamina of the Running Man production team. Not shown.

After the morning meeting, Sun Dapao stayed alone and followed Yang An back to his office.

Yang An asked: "Is the plan ready?"

Sun Dapao nodded: "We haven't recorded a program for more than a week. Everyone is looking forward to it and they are all asking me when the filming will start. The three backup plans are ready, and we can leave at any time tonight."

Yang An said, "Okay, I'll give you an answer at noon."

After Sun Dapao left, Yang An walked around the office for a while, and finally took out his phone and called Ye Zhixiang, director of CCTV's film review department.

Because of Mr. Cai's previous fight, CCTV executives are now being closely watched. Both the No. 2 and No. 1 are wary of each other, not daring to make any big moves, for fear of being caught by the other party and making a comeback.

Director Ye of the review department was caught in the middle. He was Director Cai, so he had to act cautiously. Yang An couldn't get the sample of the super challenge, and the one surnamed Huang couldn't get the review content of the trial broadcast of Brother Run.

But today is Tuesday, and the situation has changed again. Running Man has been broadcast. After receiving Yang An's call, Ye Zhixiang sent someone to contact Yang An, and leaked the broadcast content of Super Challenge in advance.

Yang An closed the doors in the office and asked Song Xiaomei to block other people's visits. He opened the email to receive and download it, and watched it carefully on the computer.

Super Challenge also adopts a more mainstream broadcast mode, which is a bit like the narrative method of I am a singer. At the beginning, I told why the production team wanted to do this program: "We want to invite some characteristic star artists to form a super family. Travel around the world, take risks, play games, and challenge some difficult tasks with local characteristics."

Producers, directors, screenwriters, and senior directors of TV stations, everyone gave advice and put forward many good opinions.

There is a special feature that Tuniu has become a travel sponsor of the super challenge. They have developed an interactive module with great business acumen. The six people succeeded, and the fund accumulated to 3000. The final total amount of each period is the total amount of money donated by Tuniu to Hope Primary School.

This is a very popular model in China. The merchants pay for it in an alternative way. The stars don’t get a penny anyway, but everyone is happy to do it. The audience mistakenly thinks that this is a kind-hearted producer. In fact, the essence is deliberately increased. Soft, the audience's feelings have been sold at a low price without knowing it, but they can't feel it, and they can still get a good reputation.

So under the promotion of many parties, a super challenge was born. The combination of five men and one woman has the shadow of a men's gang of six, but it has more personality.

For example, the eldest brother of the super family is the famous actor Li Qing, nicknamed Li Meili, handsome Qingqing, he is a funny actor.

There is also Tong Zhiqian, a joke player, who used to be a singer, but he has been half-popular for many years, and the music industry couldn’t get along, so he started to switch to Weibo joke player, but became popular. Sha's another role is equivalent to being a fan of Li Qing, and these two are the reflections of the running boys brothers Yang An and Sha Bei.

Then there are other actors, hosts, singers, comedians, and six members of the super family who are well-known. Yang An silently calculated in his heart, three first-tier, three second-tier, the star lineup is relatively strong.

Yang An stroked his chin and continued watching the show.

After the memory was completed, the theme song sounded. Upon hearing this slightly familiar melody style, Yang An instantly sat up straight and looked at the screen carefully. After listening for a while, he picked up the mouse and dragged it directly to the final cast and crew list to find I almost laughed out loud.

"Damn... I said why there is an inexplicable sense of familiarity. It turns out that the song was really written by Chen Jianhao!"

Yang An shook his head, and continued to watch the title, listening to the bgm, he couldn't help laughing.

Chen Jianhao's fate was doomed from the very beginning, he could not compete with his old enemy Liu Feng, that's all, and later he wanted to step on Yang An's position, of course he would end up miserable.

However, Chen Jianhao has a strong ability to resist blows. After many setbacks, he did not get discouraged. Instead, he became more and more courageous. He wrote this song for the super challenge and continued to fight Yang An. This persistent spirit is really admirable.

"Old fighter! All right, if I'm so persistent with you, I'll let you go and stop stepping on you."

What Yang An didn't know was that last night, Chen Jianhao was watching the running man at home. After hearing the funrun, he almost suffered a heart attack and was sent to the hospital for emergency treatment. The first thing he said when he woke up was: "Xuanhuang deliberately concealed me... I don't want to compare with Yang An..."

The program continued. On the screen, the super family members gathered, purchased professional outdoor equipment separately, did physical training, drove to the plateau Tibetan area, and officially recorded the program.

Yang An admitted that there were interesting points throughout the whole process, but the overall style of Super Challenge is different from that of Running Man, and everyone has their own advantages.

Slowly dragging the mouse, Yang An spent an hour watching the entire episode, and observed the behind-the-scenes production team one by one. He did recognize a few familiar names, all of whom were experienced and senior practitioners in the domestic TV circle. He frowned. .
