Inside the meeting room.
In addition to the chief planner Lao Zhao and the intern planner Yang Fan, Li Weimin and Yang Ruyi also started brainstorming and put forward ideas that they had usually thought about.
Yang Fan put himself in the right position and said nothing more.
After some discussion, Lao Zhao was at a loss: "The ideas you proposed are nothing new, they are all borrowed from other programs."
Li Weimin and Yang Ruyi felt a little embarrassed, as they were indeed borrowing from a domestic program.
It is a bit too much to ask them to come up with a brand new program with unique features and selling points out of thin air.
If innovation were so easy, there wouldn't be only a few variety shows with decent ratings every year on the hundreds of channels across the country.
"Also, the core of your ideas always involves inviting celebrities." Lao Zhao said helplessly: "The funding for the new program will only be less than that of "Happy Mountain City", not more. You all know that we can't even afford to invite local artists or internet celebrities with a little fame at the moment."
Li Weimin and Yang Ruyi suddenly felt that they were useless. Such a good program was facing suspension just a few months after their start.
The program crew can’t even afford to pay the guests’ appearance fees of several thousand yuan.
Look at the signature programs of those satellite TV stations. No matter how big the star is, the program crew is not afraid of the appearance fee. As long as you dare to come, I dare to pay it.
"Xiao Yang, you can also give some ideas and see if they can be used. Don't be restrained." Finally, Lao Zhao looked at Yang Fan.
Li Weimin and Yang Ruyi also looked at Yang Fan.
Yang Fan hesitated for a while, but finally spoke up and asked, "Only ordinary people can be invited to the new show, right?"
Old Zhao was a little embarrassed. This program was created by him. At its peak, he had invited national stars. Although they were not super famous, they were definitely not comparable to the local unknown fringe artists in the entertainment industry.
Such a "glorious" program has now fallen to the point where it is about to be discontinued. It can be said that it is both its own success and its own failure.
"Happy Mountain City" failed to innovate and faced the same fate as 99% of all programs: it would disappear after a few years and never be performed again.
"Almost. The station won't help to attract sponsorship, nor will it provide too much funding unless the program has high ratings after it is broadcast," said Lao Zhao.
Yang Fan thought for a moment and said, "Then let's invite ordinary people. We won't do any celebrity interviews or folk games. Let's play some puzzle games."
Li Weimin was a little surprised. After one week on the job, this new colleague was a quiet guy, did things in a proper manner, and did not seem to be ostentatious at all.
It can be said that he will never take a step forward unless his butt is on fire.
Only when the chief planner called his name did he perform with reluctance.
The scale of this performance is a bit too big, directly negating everything in the past and reshuffling the cards.
"What kind of puzzle game?" asked Lao Zhao.
Yang Fan briefly expressed his thoughts.
After hearing this, Li Weimin and Yang Ruyi looked at each other in confusion. Is this feasible
According to Yang Fan's idea, this new program is a purely educational and interactive program.
Except for the host, the guests are all very casual, the kind that can be picked up at random on the street.
When the guests of the show "Happy Mountain City" come on stage, the host can praise them for a while and introduce their identities.
In a 90-minute program, a guest’s introduction and boasting can take up several minutes.
How do you introduce ordinary people who were randomly captured
Are you kind, loving, and good at playing in the mud
"Compared to those boring games, this kind of intelligence competition game has advantages." Yang Fan explained: "Those satellite TV variety shows dare to play boring games because the audience cares about the participants, such and such stars, rather than the game itself. A show like ours cannot afford to invite stars. Who would watch it if we let ordinary guests play boring games?"
"How are the guests selected?" asked Lao Zhao, who was a little interested in this program.
Yang Fan said: "Put out advertisements and set up a registration hotline. For example, put out advertisements before the end of "Happy Mountain City". Everyone is welcome to participate."
After a round of questions and answers, the conference room fell silent again.
After a long while, Lao Zhao said, "Xiao Yang, how about this? You should get the plan ready by next Thursday, and we will evaluate and supplement it together. If there are no problems, you can submit it to the leadership for review by the end of next week."
"Before next Thursday?" Yang Fan asked. That was too fast.
"It's a bit urgent, but there are only a few issues of Happy Mountain City left. You can also work overtime at home during the weekend." Lao Zhao said, not taking overtime seriously at all.
Li Weimin cast a sympathetic look at Yang Fan.
The young man who has just graduated for more than a year is either in a relationship or on the way to a relationship.
Li Weimin once lost two girlfriends because he always worked overtime on weekends.
He still feels aggrieved about it, but he is unwilling to change jobs.
As long as you have this job, it won't be hard to find a girlfriend.
It is Li Weimin's capital to change his girlfriend.
Without this capital, let alone changing a girlfriend, it would be a problem whether you can even find one.
"Okay." Yang Fan looked calm, showing no emotion.
Although Yang Fan remained calm, Lao Zhao probably knew that he was very dissatisfied with the short time he was given and the weekend overtime, so he said earnestly: "Xiao Yang, you just graduated not long ago, more than a year, now is your hard-working period, you should be more ambitious and energetic, don't be like an old hand who has worked for many years and only thinks about how to get by at work."
"I know, thank you Teacher Zhao." Yang Fan accepted it humbly.
It's time to get off work and the brainstorming meeting is over.
Old Zhao was the first to leave.
Yang Ruyi was a sister who was neither too young nor too old. She patted Yang Fan on the shoulder and said, "Xiao Yang, keep going. When you date and play with my dog these two days, I will also think of some steps for you when I have time, such as guest registration, review, and invitation. Leave it to me."
"Thank you, Sister Yang." Yang Fan said gratefully, "Give my regards to Brother Tang for me."
The Brother Tang he mentioned is Yang Ruyi's boyfriend. Yang Ruyi is a typical mountain city person, and it's good enough that she didn't call Brother Tang a bastard.
After Yang Ruyi left, Yang Fan looked at Li Weimin.
Li Weimin shrugged: "Don't look at me, I don't have time on weekends. Sister Yang said she would help you, but she will definitely help you after she comes to work next week. Look at someone like her, do you think she has time for you on weekends?"
After Li Weimin left, Yang Fan packed up his things.
He originally wanted to participate and not express any opinions, but when he was called, he had to share his thoughts.
Unexpectedly, Lao Zhao threw the task of planning the new program to him as if he had found a life-saving straw.
When I realized that being ordinary was the only answer, I was thrown into this world.
Life is so hard.
Before leaving the TV station, Yang Fan received a call from Liu Qianqian.
The fake couple hadn't been in touch or seen for a week.
"Watch a movie? No!" After answering the phone, Yang Fan refused without thinking when he heard Liu Qianqian's arrangement.
