Chapter 046: Monday's Regular Meeting
The leisurely weekend passed in a flash, and it was Monday morning.
As a responsible boss, Lou promises to go to the TV station every day when nothing else is done.
It just so happens that there are no other foreign affairs handling today.
Back at the station, Lou promised to notify Chen Feng in front of the door to convene the managers of various departments of the TV station to the conference room on the fifth floor for a meeting, and then enter the office with Lin Bian.
After holding Lin Bin and playing with the computer for a while, Chen Feng dialed the indoor landline and promised to the building that the meeting was prepared.
Let Lin Min stay in the office and play with computers, Lou promised to get up and go to the conference room.
In the conference room, the managers of various departments of the TV station had already sat in separate seats and were chatting when the building promised to come in.
"Hello, Master."
"Good morning, Master."
Lou Chenguno brought Chen Feng into the door and greeted everyone.
"Sit, sit down." Lou Chengnuo waved, signaled the managers to sit down, and then said: "Today there were two new faces in the conference room. Let me introduce to you the two new colleagues are Huang Qi, the manager of the variety show department, and Ma Sheng, the manager of the drama department!"
"Hello, Master, hello to all managers..." The two of them stood up one after another, greeted everyone, and introduced themselves.
Huang Qi and Ma Sheng, both department managers, both Lou Promise thought it was appropriate when he took the time to interview last week, and then arranged to report it today.
The managers of other departments did not know until now that they had two newcomers added to the management.
The difference is that among them, except for the human resources manager, they only met the real person just now.
After the two of them introduced themselves, Lou Chenggong said: "The two new managers have just joined the TV station. For business or internal affairs, please ask the managers for more questions."
"In addition, the drama department manager prepares the drama department as soon as possible. The drama department's main job is to recruit personnel, fill in the drama department, and prepare for the shooting of new TV series."
Whether it is a variety show or a TV series, the essential core of a crew is the three major jobs of director, screenwriter and producer.
And in the human resources market in the film and television industry, the director is the most demanding and scarce one.
Because unless the producer itself has the qualifications and right to speak, the other two are generally cooperated with the director's work.
The reason for this situation is not because there are too few people employed in the director industry.
In fact, there are so many professional directors or wild directors who join the director industry every year, and they can’t count them even if they hold their fingers.
The reason why directors really make them a scarce resource is that there are too few directors with deep qualifications, strong foundation, excellent resume and successful experience.
The stronger the stronger the more opportunities the more opportunities the greater the chances. Major film and television institutions have always tended to direct the directors who have had successful experiences in the production of TV and movies, and rarely say that they will give newcomers the chance.
Therefore, 99% of new directors who join the director industry will fall on the road because of the threshold of "opportunity".
Unless you, the director, have a background, or are very lucky.
Lou Chenggong is a casual person, and he is no exception. He can use directors who have successful experience, and he will not give priority to those who graduate from professional school or have not produced independent programs.
Of course, such a lack of directors usually only happens in the director circle that shoots variety shows.
Because the variety show was filmed for multiple seasons, the stability of the director was the top priority during the filming of the program. Otherwise, if you have to change the director after a few episodes of the filming, how can the quality of the program be guaranteed?
Therefore, major production institutions generally use directors they hire to shoot on variety shows, and rarely say they hire outside directors to shoot.
This has led to very few excellent variety show directors who leaked out to help other companies make movies.
In the film and television market, this situation has changed.
Although there are not many good directors, filming of film and television dramas is usually done one by one. After filming this, the director of the next one may not be you.
Therefore, most directors who sign contracts with film and television companies can make TV movies for other investors when they have time, which is quite different from variety show directors.
Therefore, in terms of organization and preparation, the drama department only needs to make arrangements for screenwriters, planners, producers, financial reviews, and accounting auditors.
Finally, after receiving the script, you can send a director invitation to major film and television institutions, and then send a producer to assist the director in forming a crew.
Lou promised that it would take only a few weeks to prepare the script.
"Okay, Master, do you have any requirements for the production direction of TV series?" Ma Sheng nodded and said.
"The TV series on TV stations are still mainly self-made and will not be purchased from the outside for the time being. I will write the script and hand it over to you in a few days." Lou Chengnuo said.
When Ma Sheng heard this, his face remained calm and showed that he understood.
When he joined Real Taiwan, he had some knowledge about Real Taiwan and knew that the planning plan for the popular "If You Are the One" in Taiwan was written by this young master in his twenties.
So when he heard Lou Chengnuo's words, although he was skeptical about whether Lou Chengnuo could write a good script, he did not feel that Lou Chengnuo did not have the ability to write a script.
After talking about the drama department, Lou Promise said to everyone: "Everyone knows the ratings of "If You Are the One" which was broadcast last weekend?"
"The ratings exceeded 3%, which is a rare data. On Friday, we had already left other programs in the same level behind and sat on the top spot in the same period!"
Variety shows that are broadcast in prime time and are ranked among the top three at the same time. Previously, the 99% chance of being defended by programs broadcast on first-tier satellite TV stations every day.
But since the day "If You Are the One" was aired, things have changed suddenly.
Although the first episode of "If You Are the One" failed to break even 1%, after the popularity of the second episode soared, the ratings directly exceeded 1.5%. As the popularity of the third episode spread rapidly, the ratings instantly exceeded 3%!
While the ratings soared, "If You Are the One" also surpassed the programs broadcast on the weekend of the four major satellite TV stations for the first time, and successfully topped the ratings champion in the same period last Friday night.
The siphon of "If You Are the One" last Friday night, the programs broadcast at the same time all experienced an overall decline in viewership.
It’s a pity that the station is really a variety show, and it can only be broadcast for one day every week. It’s not very meaningful to whether it can enhance the industry status of the TV station, unless it can defend its title every week.
When Lou Chenggong talked about this, all the executives present were a little excited and expressed their opinions excitedly.
This is indeed something that they are excited about.
Let’s not talk about what “If You Are the One” represents in the competition for the ace programs launched by major satellite TV stations every Friday. The ratings alone can bring great benefits to TV stations.
Because their fate is tied to the TV station.
The good performance of TV stations is a very powerful bonus for their future or their personal influence in the industry.
Chapter completed!
