Chapter 054: The rich man's studio
Time passed by like flowing water, and nearly half a month has passed since the day planned by "Who Want to Be a Millionaire".
In the past half month, under the hosting and coordination of variety show manager Huang Qi, "Who Want to Become a Millionaire" completed the program preparation and officially started the recording work this afternoon.
The director of "Millionaire" is named Chen Weizheng. He is not a formal director of the TV station, but a contract director invited by the Variety Show Department to direct. He is only responsible for the recording of the first and second seasons.
As for the directors of the third season and even several seasons after, we can only see whether the TV station has signed a contract with a suitable director.
If not, Chen Weizheng would not have any objections, and he would probably continue to cooperate with him.
In addition to Chen Weizheng, most of the people working in the "Millionaire" program team are also temporary workers.
It is really necessary for the entire filming team to be formally organized by the TV station, and I don’t know when it will be possible.
Even the "If You Are the One" filming team that has been in a long time ago, except for the deputy director, producer, editor-in-chief, and some camera masters, 60% of the personnel are temporary workers.
Although temporary workers can turn the blame when they encounter trouble, it also means instability.
After all, the recording of the program is different from the shooting of a TV series. The latter will disband on the spot after filming a drama, so it doesn’t matter that all the staff are temporary workers.
As long as there is no major problem with the ratings, the former will continue to be recorded. Too much personnel mobility will obviously have a certain impact on the quality of the program production.
But there is no way. Recruitment is a long-term construction task. The only thing the building promises to do is to try to enhance the attractiveness and influence of the TV station to talents and do a good job in the interests and future of employees.
While thinking about it, Lou Zheng drove a BMW coupe to the No. 1 studio of Huiju Innovation Park.
That's right, the recording of the program "Who Want to Become a Millionaire" was arranged in Studio 1, which was originally dedicated to the filming of "If You Are the One".
First of all, it is to save the expenses of site rental. After all, the rent for a factory with hundreds or thousands of square meters is not low for a year, especially the center of Baommon District.
Secondly, "If You Are the One" does not have a recording plan every day. Generally speaking, a concentrated recording can be performed on a lot of periods of materials after one or two weeks. Therefore, the factory is vacant during the rest of the time, which can be used to arrange the recording of other programs at an off-peak pace.
Of course, after saying so much, the most important thing is to control costs.
Parking the car in the parking lot, the building promised to put on the badge and walk towards the studio.
This time he came to watch the recording of "Millionaire". Lou Chenggong did not notify the program team, nor did he take Chen Feng with him, but came alone. Because he was a little bored, he wanted to try the Jinyi Night Walk this time.
Because he wore a badge, when he came to the security guard who was responsible for guarding the factory gate, even though the Lou promised to look pretty, the badge was not fake after all, so the security guard just looked at the badge and let him in.
The reason why there is security guard in Studio No. 1 is mainly because Studio No. 1 stores some large fixed equipment, props and other materials and TV station assets.
In addition, after "If You Are the One" became popular, some local Pengcheng program fans found it through various clues and came to the factory to take photos.
Therefore, in order to ensure safety and not affect the recording of the program, the administrative department hired a security guard with a monthly salary of 2,000 yuan to come and visit the door through the park property.
Compared to directly transferring security guards from the TV station headquarters, in terms of cost, it is naturally easier to hire people through the park. After all, there is no need for the TV station to worry about accommodation and meals.
In the studio, the set used by "Millionaire" is completely different from the set used by "If You Are the One". Apart from the iron shelf ceiling and some ceiling lighting on the top of the factory, the entire venue is much more empty than the venue of "If You Are the One".
This is because "If You Are the One" is a multi-person guest, and the staff positions occupy too large venues, so the venue space will appear to be relatively average.
"Millionaire" is a one-to-one program, with completely different environmental compositions, so the space layout looks much more spacious.
There is a circular platform in the center of the site. There are two computer screens in the shape of "single" in the center of the platform, divided into A-B. A-side is used by the contestants to see the questions, and B-side is read by the host.
Outside the circular platform, there are auditoriums composed of rings and several fixed camera positions surrounding the stage.
In addition to the fixed camera position, there is also a rocker-arm camera on the side of the audience seat, which is mainly used to shoot panoramic views and create an atmosphere.
When the Lou promised to come, the program had already started recording, and the lights on the scene were focused. The contestants and hosts standing against each other around the center of the stage created a tense and exciting lighting atmosphere.
Bai Fenghua, the host of "Millionaire", was invited by the program team. Lou Chenggong was not familiar with him, only knowing that he was a news host, and had worked on news interview programs on the front-line station. He is a relatively excellent program host.
Standing on the edge and watching the conversation on the court for a while, Lou Chengnuo thought the host was good.
The success of the program "Who Want to Become a Millionaire" in the previous life is not only related to the host who is like a black-faced Bao Gong.
"Millionaire" is not a funny variety show, but a very serious knowledge Q&A program. It is obviously an inappropriate thing to host a host who is good at making jokes and makes the overall serious atmosphere like a carnival.
The "Millionaire" program team obviously thought of such a problem, so like his previous life, he chose Bai Fenghua, a host who came from a serious news program with a calm face and good at mobilizing the tense atmosphere on the court.
Bai Fenghua obviously also particularly likes "Millionaire", a program that is different from the current public and has no meaning in disseminating knowledge about other variety shows. In addition, he also wants to change his style of hosting news programs in the public's mind, so he took over this program notice.
Of course, Bai Fenghua was sure to receive the TV station's program announcement because it was actually because the TV station gradually gained influence in the TV media industry through the program "If You Are the One".
After all, Bai Fenghua is also a well-known host who is not short of program announcements and invitations. If it is just a good topic, if the platform is too bad, it is unlikely that he will participate.
After all, if the program fails, his idea of transforming through this program will undoubtedly be filled with a haze, and it will greatly reduce the interest of other stations inviting him to participate in variety shows. Correspondingly, the benefits he can get will be greatly reduced.
