Chapter 199 Variety Show Planning (Gift Value Plus)
The next day, Jiang Ningyue said hello to Secretary Wang and County Magistrate Lin, and drove to Chuanquan with Kang Meijing.
On the way, Kang Meijing was still a little excited.
"I'm going crazy from being stuck in this small town every day."
Jiang Ningyue chuckled, "What are you going to do in Chuanquan?"
Kang Meijing stole a glance at Jiang Ningyue, "Boss, how about we go shopping?"
"Let's get down to business first."
"So after we finish our work, let's go shopping?"
"Okay." Jiang Ningyue agreed happily.
The two arrived in Chuanquan City at 1 p.m. Jiang Ningyue wanted to take Kang Meijing to eat some small skewers or spicy hot pot, but even though it was not a holiday, the place was still crowded.
Jiang Ningyue had no choice but to give up, "What do you want to eat?"
“Golden Arches.”
“…”
Jiang Ningyue frowned, "Why?"
"I haven't eaten in a long time."
"All right."
Jiang Ningyue wore glasses and took Kang Meijing to McDonald's. While eating, Kang Meijing was almost in tears.
“Golden Arches is still delicious!”
Jiang Ningyue ate French fries with a helpless look on her face.
In the afternoon, the two came to the provincial TV station. Jiang Ningyue found the station director Han Zheng to discuss the variety show and submitted a preliminary plan.
Han Zheng flipped through the plan. After about a quarter of an hour, he put it aside and looked at Jiang Ningyue with a smile. "Director Jiang, theoretically, I agree with your proposal. However, our provincial TV station can't compare to those coastal TV stations. Our total budget this year is 280 million yuan, and the vast majority of it must be allocated by the government. If you want to shoot this variety show, you have to wait until at least April or May next year."
Simply put, there are two words written on Han Zheng's head: 'no money'.
Jiang Ningyue said calmly, "What if I can attract investment for this variety show myself?"
Han Zheng smiled and said, "Our station has been seeking a better business model. If you can attract investment, then on behalf of the station's Party Committee, I would like to express my support."
"Okay, Hantai." Jiang Ningyue nodded, and then thought, "For this variety show, I also want to cooperate with a video website. As you know, they are more experienced in attracting investment. We can split the profits 50-50 with them."
"Can."
Han Zheng nodded indifferently. As long as it didn't cost the station any money, Jiang Ningyue could do whatever she wanted.
"So you approve of this plan?"
"Your plan is a bit too simple." Han Zheng said with a smile, "I'll arrange an assistant for you."
As he spoke, Han Zheng picked up the landline and made a call, "Lao Feng, come to my office."
Not long after, a middle-aged man walked in, "Han Tai, Director Jiang."
Han Zheng introduced him, "This is Feng Sheng, the director of the Variety Show Department at the Arts Center. Old Feng, Director Jiang is planning a variety show. Please make the arrangements and follow Director Jiang's instructions."
Feng Sheng's eyes lit up. "Has Shannan TV ever produced a variety show?"
Such as Youth Lecture Hall, Shannan in Stories, Beautiful Shannan, etc.
The entertainment was so poor that there were almost no viewers.
The reason is that they can't attract investment, so they can't produce the programs they want. If they can't produce the programs they want, the ratings will be low, and they can't attract investment.
It's a vicious cycle.
Now, Jiang Ningyue is taking the initiative to take the lead, Feng Sheng can't help but be happy,
"Director Jiang, I will definitely cooperate with you in your work."
"Thank you." Jiang Ningyue smiled and nodded, handing the plan on the table to Feng Sheng. "Come on, Director Feng, let's go to my office to discuss this in detail."
When they arrived at Jiang Ningyue's office, Jiang Ningyue and Feng Sheng discussed the issue of variety shows.
Feng Sheng: "Director, who are the celebrities we want to invite?"
"I can ask my best friend Gu Meng to help me ask." Jiang Ningyue said with a smile, "We don't have much money in the early stage, so we can hire a few cheap celebrities."
"Gu Meng."
Feng Sheng nodded and said, "She's very popular now, and she's on the trending searches almost every week."
"Really?" Jiang Ningyue has been very busy recently, and he has indeed paid less attention to her.
The variety show Jiang Ningyue wanted to create was akin to her previous life's "Longing for Life." Regardless of the cast, this show still had a positive core. In particular, it conveyed the image of a beautiful new countryside to the outside world.
It just so happened that this variety show did not exist in this world, so Jiang Ningyue shamelessly plagiarized it.
At the same time, there was another very interesting variety show, "Farming Boy". Jiang Ningyue had never seen this show in her previous life, but had only heard of it. However, Jiang Ningyue also remembered this format.
After finishing "Yearning", I can do this.
If this is not a big problem, we can continue with "The Farming Boy".
Jiang Ningyue first contacted Mr. Lu, the project director of Penguin Video, by phone. The two got along quite well during the previous "Girl Group 101".
"Mr. Lu, I'm Jiang Ningyue."
"Hahaha, Reporter Jiang, I heard you've become a leader in Shannan Province?" Mr. Lu's voice was incredibly friendly as he answered the phone. "Are you calling me today to give me some instructions?"
"No instructions, just a cooperative project, and I'm wondering if your company is interested. Could you give me ten minutes to introduce it?"
"Of course, don't even mention ten minutes, I'll even give you ten hours." Mr. Lu said happily. The popularity of "Girl Group 101" helped him secure his position and opened up the market for video websites.
Speaking of which, Jiang Ningyue can be considered as a half-benefactor to him.
Jiang Ningyue gave a brief introduction to "Longing for Life" and asked, "Mr. Lu, are you interested in cooperating with us?"
Mr. Lu pondered for a moment and then asked, "There seemed to be a variety show last year where celebrities were doing farm work. There was a lot of online criticism, saying they were putting on a show and insulting the farmers, so it was eventually shut down."
"We're not just about farming here; this is more about an ideal rural life. There are some surreal elements in it, but we really do the work and never put on a show."
"Oh well."
Mr. Lu was still a little unsure, but he was willing to trust Jiang Ningyue. Besides, Penguin was a big company, so what was the harm in failing once?
"I'll arrange for someone to go to Shannan Province to discuss cooperation with you in detail."
"Okay, call me when the time comes. If I'm not there, I'll have someone connect you."
"OK."
After finalizing the cooperative video website, Jiang Ningyue sent another WeChat message to Gu Meng. After learning that she was not filming, Jiang Ningyue called her.
"Mengmeng, are you filming a drama or a variety show?"
"The company recently enrolled me in a drama class. I'm learning drama."
Gu Meng's voice was a little lazy, revealing a bit of fatigue, "I studied drama in the morning and practiced dancing in the afternoon. I'm almost exhausted."
"It just so happens that I want to organize a variety show. I'm here just to relax and have fun. Are you interested?"
"Eh?" Gu Meng suddenly perked up. "What do you mean?"
Jiang Ningyue recounted the content of the variety show, and Gu Meng's eyes lit up. "It's really good, I'll go!"
“How much do you make on the show now?”
"500,000 per issue."
Gu Meng said mischievously, "But it doesn't matter if you don't get paid for the variety show you're hosting."
"That won't work." Jiang Ningyue casually retorted, then asked, "We're looking for a celebrity who can cook. Any recommendations?"
"Cooking?" Gu Meng thought for a moment. "Do you still remember Lu Jinwen? He was the one who dressed up as Liu Bei on the variety show and was in the same group with us."
"I have an impression." Jiang Ningyue asked curiously, "Is his cooking delicious?"
"I heard it's pretty good, but I haven't tried it. After all, I don't have a very good relationship with them."
