Where is Chengde Summer Resort
Many people's first thought is often the Qing Dynasty, and then they think about summer vacation. Naturally, they think it might be in the three northeastern provinces.
Not really.
Chengde is a city in Hebei Province, less than 200 kilometers away from Beijing.
The crew of "Huan Zhuge Ge" arrived in Chengde at the end of June. According to the schedule Ren Jingxi set for himself, filming started on time on June 30. That day was Monday, the beginning of a new week.
During this period of time, various major events have caused ups and downs in the outside world, which may bring joy or sorrow. However, under the leadership of a young and beautiful new producer, the crew is progressing quite smoothly.
The main reason is that many people have been greeted in advance. A certain beautiful woman who seems young and harmless has a deep background. If she does well, she will have a rare connection in the future. If she does not do well, she will be kicked out of the circle. possible.
In addition, some people found that Ren Jingxi didn't look like an ordinary novice at all. Whether it was filming or logistics, whether it was actor performance or director scheduling, he could basically tell the truth. Even if he didn't understand it, he didn't hide it at all. He kept asking until he understood, which made most of the crew stop being contemptuous.
Not only that, during the filming of the first fight scene, a martial arts instructor from Hong Kong's Yuan Family Class took Qiao on the spot and deliberately stalled when facing Ren Jingxi's request to design better effects. As a result, he was fired on the spot. While the unbalanced crew members were waiting to watch the excitement, within half an hour, the martial arts director came over and humbly admitted his mistake.
Unfortunately, Ren Jingxi did not accept it and directly changed the shooting plan and asked the security to evict the other party.
Eyeballs dropped in shock.
Those are Hong Kong people. Hong Kong has just recently returned to China. The country insists on unity and harmony. If there is any dispute, it is not impossible for the higher-ups to directly order the crew to stop.
The result was even more twists and turns.
After Wu Zhi, who was only considered average in the Yuan family's class, left, one of the Yuan brothers flew over the next day, apologized to Ren Jingxi in every possible way, and then personally stayed on to serve as the crew's martial arts instructor. guide.
This incident made everyone in the crew no longer have any doubts about Ren Jingxi's "background".
As for the three heroines in the crew who knew exactly who was standing behind Ren Jingxi, they were even more envious and jealous, and had inevitable expectations.
On that cruise ship in Taihu Lake, Ren Jingxi was just like them. A certain big man waved and the other person would obediently lean against the man. Since this was the case, why couldn't they get something similar to Ren Jingxi's? treatment
Summer House set.
The time is July 12th, Saturday.
Although China began to promote weekend holidays two years ago, in order to ensure progress, the crew still adopted a six-day work system. With Ren Jingxi quickly establishing his prestige, neither the mainland nor Hong Kong and Taiwan crew members had any idea about this. Raise objections.
When you enter this industry, it is almost inevitable to rush to work. After all, once the crew starts, it is a gold-eating beast. It costs tens of thousands every day and cannot afford to waste it. What's more, neither the mainland nor Hong Kong and Taiwan have strict trade union systems like those in the West, and it is very common to work early and work late.
Although Ren Jingxi has strict requirements on work, he is not harsh either.
Today's work ended on time at five o'clock in the afternoon. An evening barbecue dinner was also arranged to improve the food. When the production assistant announced this, everyone who had worked hard for a week suddenly seemed to feel at home again, and the scene cheered.
Everyone finished up neatly and quickly returned to the hotel where the crew was staying.
Ren Jingxi now has four followers, two female guards from the Wei family, and two production assistants recruited for the filming of "Huan Zhuge Ge". They are all young girls. Even if their appearance is not as good as Ren Jingxi's, they are all pretty. He is a good-looking type and has a great figure. This is the only special treatment Ren Jingxi enjoys on the crew.
Speaking of which, Ren Jingxi had his own thoughts about selecting his entourage. He wanted to choose someone with a more ordinary appearance. Unfortunately, the two female guards of the Wei family were arranged directly there, while the two production assistants who accompanied him were responsible for the selection. During the process, she happened to meet up with Chen Qing to talk about things. As a result, the woman probably guessed what she was thinking, and reminded her half-truthfully that if she had a few ugly girls around, her boss would definitely not blame her for highlighting her. Extra points for being more beautiful will only make her boss hate her as well.
Come to think of it, there really aren't many mediocre-looking women around him.
So, I really didn’t dare to choose the ugly one.
After returning to the hotel room, the first thing Ren Jingxi did was take a bath.
Mainly after a day of high-intensity work, taking a hot bath can quickly relax you, and then support you to continue doing a lot of work in the evening.
The maid had prepared the bath water in advance. Ren Jingxi took off her clothes and buried her body in the warm bathtub. Another female maid consciously came behind her and started to help wash her hair.
In fact, I have also thought about losing my long hair, which would definitely be more convenient.
I just considered that a certain man might not like it, so I didn't do it.
Ren Jingxi gradually got used to being surrounded by two women while taking a bath, and even gradually became accustomed to the physical contact between the two women intentionally or unintentionally.
It was Chen Qing who said it.
The two beautiful Wei family maids, Wei, are not only her attendants, but according to ancient sayings, they are also her maids, a woman's maids... This statement is a bit strange, but Ren Jingxi understands that these are still Chen's maids. Qing reminds her that since she has become his woman, she can find a woman but not a man.
Perhaps, she is still the type who can only find women around her.
Watching Ren Jingxi soaking in the bathtub, the waitress named Gu Yu next to her brought a folder she had prepared in advance and handed it to her as usual: "Sister Ren, here are some newspapers from today."
Ren Jingxi took the folder and opened it. Inside were some newspaper clippings, which were not complete. Ren Jingxi specifically explained this. She did not have time to read all the newspapers. The clippings were mainly industry news, and not only the mainland, but also Related information about Hong Kong, Taiwan and North America.
Gu Yu was obviously very dedicated to this job. When Ren Jingxi opened the folder, the first news he saw was about Jinshu's "Super Girl".
This is a recent trend in the industry.
Ren Jingxi has been quietly paying attention to this show and has done his own analysis in private.
China's television industry in the 1990s can be said to be the period when a hundred flowers flourished after the reform and opening up. Not only were there a wide variety of TV series, but there was also no shortage of other variety shows. They were far from conservative as latecomers imagined.
However, "Super Girl" was the first variety show to cause a sensation.
It has been on air for more than a month, and in the face of the continued booming ratings data, both Jiangsu Satellite TV and Jinshu Media have carried out vigorous publicity. Based on the provincial ratings of this program, "Super Girl" has been marketed as the 1997 The annual ratings crown.
Ren Jingxi saw the limitations.
The most important one is that variety show talent shows like "Super Girl", no matter how popular they are now, can't hide its biggest flaw: lack of replay value.
As the television field in mainland China has gradually opened up to commercial operations in recent years, TV drama producers have paid more and more attention to copyright. After the first round of premieres, many TV stations have begun to purchase second rounds of popular TV dramas during the first round of broadcasts. Even if the price of broadcast rights is much lower than the first broadcast, it is a steady stream of income. There will be three or four rounds in the future. Even if a classic like CCTV's "Journey to the West" can be produced, it will sell for ten It's not impossible for a few years.
"Super Girl" does not have such attributes.
Even though it is very popular now and its influence has rapidly spread beyond Jiangsu to the whole country, after the first round of broadcasts, when the dust has settled, few people will want to watch it a second time.
It's almost a one-and-done deal.
Therefore, in Ren Jingxi's opinion, Jiangsu Satellite TV has benefited the most from this program.
After being launched in the past two years, all major provincial TV stations are trying their best to win over the national audience. "Super Girl", a popular TV show whose influence has spread rapidly across the country, has helped Jiangsu Satellite TV build its brand and win over a large number of people. audience.
As for Jinshu's side, it is certainly not considered a failure.
According to the information obtained by Ren Jingxi, as an experimental TV show, "Super Girl" will be broadcast for a total of 13 weekends from June to August. Not counting the daytime audition highlights on the first weekend, there will be a total of 26 episodes. , the average cost investment per phase is about 200,000 yuan, and the total investment is about 5 million yuan.
Due to the popularity of the show, Jinshu received advertising time from Jiangsu Satellite TV, and the built-in advertising sponsorship of the program, the total revenue is expected to be around 20 million.
This is a gross profit of 15 million.
For the current TV market, this is a huge profit.
This is because no one expected how popular this show would be, so the advertising sales contract signed was a bit conservative. For example, the main sponsor of this show is a product called Farmer that has just been launched in the past two years. Shanquan's mineral water brand, because it is a Chinese company invested by the Westeros system, only provided a sponsorship fee of 1 million this time.
Now, the popularity of "Super Girl" has quickly made Nongfu Spring famous across the country. Its recent sales have skyrocketed, and it has even directly promoted this drinking water brand to open up the national market. In the past, brand owners could only do something if they wanted to do something. Sales networks were developed in one province after another, but during this period many dealers took the initiative to contact them to purchase goods, so we can see the publicity effect brought by "Super Girl".
Ren Jingxi heard privately that a lot of brands have been contacting Jinshu recently. When he learned that "Super Girl" would have a second season, he directly pushed the sponsorship price to more than 10 million yuan.
It is conceivable that it is not impossible for the second season of "Super Girl" to double its profits several times.
Ren Jingxi also knew that if it weren't for someone's personal intervention, Jinshu might have been eager to start the production of the second season. After all, China does not have the American TV broadcast cycle. After the first season, the second season Not to mention starting immediately, it will definitely be fine by the end of the year.
This is obviously a bit of a waste of money.
Fortunately, because he personally intervened, the second season will still be placed next year, but the cycle will definitely be lengthened, and it is initially determined to be from April to September.
Ren Jingxi carefully read the newspaper clippings in his hand, but what he was thinking about was whether he could produce some reality shows in the future, or, like "Super Girl", introduce other types of reality shows from the United States. She was very good at this. convenient.
After reading several reports about "Super Girl", Ren Jingxi quickly turned to the news related to "Kangxi Private Interview", which was broadcast on July 1.
This is also a project produced by Jinshu, and it is also a TV series that she is very concerned about.
The first thing is the ratings.
Different from "Super Girl" which is broadcast exclusively on Jiangsu Satellite TV, "Kangxi Private Interview" is broadcast on four provincial stations in Beijing, Shandong, Jiangsu and Guangdong, with a total of 30 episodes, broadcast every Monday to Friday, with one episode every day.
Because it started airing on Tuesday, July 1, 9 episodes had been aired as of yesterday.
However, just looking at the ratings data, Beijing Satellite TV has reached the highest rating of 41%, and Ren Jingxi understands that this project has succeeded again.

And it's still very successful.
You must know that when the broadcast was first launched, the provincial ratings of the four TV stations generally fluctuated around 20 to 30%. This was already a considerable ratings figure. Now, the provincial ratings have reached a maximum of 40%, which is already considered a phenomenon. Based on the current ratings trend, the entire TV series is expected to have an average provincial ratings of 40% to 50% on the four TV stations.
After all, this is no longer the era of "Journey to the West" or "Desire". Now that the domestic TV industry is booming, it can reach such a ratings level, and a ratings crown is basically locked.
Ren Jingxi immediately realized a problem.
With "Super Girl"'s extremely high single-channel ratings, it is no exaggeration to say that it ranks first in the year.
Now, the single-channel ratings of "Kangxi Private Interview" may not be as good as "Super Girl", but the four-channel broadcast can still reach an average of 40% to 50%, and it can also be called the annual ratings champion.
This is... two annual championships
There cannot be two champions.
However, Ren Jingxi was certainly not stupid and quickly straightened out the joints.
The difference is, for example, one is the TV series's annual viewership champion, and the other is the variety show's annual viewership champion. Thinking of this, Ren Jingxi even wanted to remind Jinshu. However, when he turned to the report at the back, he found that a newspaper in the capital had already When similar statements appear, I feel that my thoughts are a bit redundant.
Apparently Jinshu is already operating in this way.
After several months of contact, Ren Jingxi knew very well that there were some very powerful guys at Jinshu, and it was impossible to think of such a stunt.
Then there was some worry.
My own "Huan Zhuge Ge", I don't know what will happen next.
After all, Jinshu has been rising to prominence until now. The Lunar New Year movie "Let's Talk" at the beginning of the year has a box office of more than 60 million. It is still ranked first in the mainland box office, even if it will be squeezed out by Hollywood blockbusters in the future, and even jump out a few more. A domestic dark horse, even the top ten can be guaranteed.
Now, both TV programs have won the championship twice.
With such an amazing start, she would not be able to justify it if her reputation was ruined by "Huan Zhu Ge Ge".
