I’m Really a Superstar

upstairs.

?CCTV Channel 14.

Zhang Ye didn't go anywhere after coming over. He went straight to Yan Tianfei's office. Lao Yan was a little late for dinner today. He had just finished eating a lunch box of vegetables brought by his lover, and his secretary was taking over to clean Lao Yan's lunch box.

"Director Zhang." The secretary smiled and nodded, taking the empty lunch box and leaving first.

Yan Tianfei asked curiously: "Mr. Zhang, didn't you just get off the plane today? Why did you come to work just after morning? I don't care about that moment. You have been busy for two months. It's time to rest. In the later stage, dubbing Ah, editing, why are you so anxious about this?"

Zhang Ye smiled and said, "I was just about to tell you."

Yan Tianfei asked, "What's wrong?"

"I want our documentary to be broadcast on December 10th." Zhang Ye said directly.

Yan Tianfei was startled at first and then said thoughtfully: "How come this day sounds familiar?"

Zhang Ye said: "'Dancing' was also broadcast on that day."

Only then did Yan Tianfei remember, "I just said it sounded familiar!"

"I want to work with them every day, so I come here to ask for your opinion." Zhang Ye said, "If you think it's not possible, then let's talk about it."

Yan Tianfei said without thinking: "There is nothing wrong with it. Since you are the chief director and the only independent column group of our Channel 14, I will leave this to you and I will not interfere too much. How to set the date and how to broadcast? You decide it yourself. Anyway, our channel 14 has ample program time. You can choose from all the time slots from Monday to Sunday. If you think it’s okay, then decide it without asking me.”

This time it was Zhang Ye's turn to be stunned, "Thank you."

Yan Tianfei laughed and said: "Our place is different from CCTV. We are a small temple. If you, a famous domestic program planner, program director and famous host, can come to our place, we are not happy before it is too late. There are no restrictions." , as long as you think it’s OK, you can do anything. I’ll give you the absolute right to speak and decide on your affairs. You can do whatever you want, and it doesn’t matter what the ratings are!”

You need money to give money, you need people to give people to people, you can do whatever you want, and there is no requirement for ratings - this is the first time Zhang Ye has encountered such a department. Naturally, Zhang Ye is also very grateful to Yan Tianfei in his heart. He knows that, This is the respect and trust others have for themselves.

Zhang Ye said: "Director Yan.

"

Yan Tianfei waved his hand, "I don't have many rules here. I'll call you Xiao Zhang, and you can call me Lao Yan."

"Okay." Zhang Ye deserved his respect and said, "Don't worry, I will definitely finish this program for you."

…

Return to your office area.

A new sign has been hung at the door of the vacant third office area of ​​Channel 14, which reads "A Bite of the Tongue's China Column Group". There is a buzz of people inside, and more than 20 staff members are whispering to each other. Just tell me the news. The news spread so quickly. Everyone knew about it within ten minutes when Zhang Ye went to Lao Yan's office.

Xiao Wang was so anxious that he stamped his feet, "Does Director Zhang really want to challenge them?"

Tong Fu cried sadly, "When the ratings come out, how ugly it will be!"

"The whole CCTV is talking about this now. I wonder how many people are waiting to see the fun... No, they are waiting to see our jokes!" Huang Dandan also smiled bitterly: "We are a documentary, how can we be like others in a variety show? pk? And it’s a large-scale talent show that invites big names such as Huo Dongfang, Fan Wenli, and Shen Lili? This is simply incomparable! We are just a traditional documentary!"

Ha Qiqi was silent for a long time.

Zhang Ye came in, "Why are you all here?"

When everyone saw this, they hurriedly stopped talking and became silent.

Zhang Ye said strangely: "Didn't I tell you that I'll give you a few days off? I can handle the matters here by myself. You all have a rest."

Zhang Zuo said: "If you don't rest, we won't rest either."

Ha Qiqi said: "We can't let you work alone."

Wu Yi said: "Let's take a break after the post-production of the film is completed."

Everyone has come from "The Voice" and shared the joys and sorrows, so there is still a tacit understanding, so without exception, everyone came to work today. Even those colleagues who just flew back to the capital with Zhang Ye in the morning also ate Came to work after lunch.

Zhang Ye was very touched, "Okay, then let's make one last effort!" After a pause, he said: "Let me tell you one thing, I think everyone knows it. I just reported to Director Yan that our film is expected to be It will be broadcast on December 10th, and there is still half a month left, so we will try to submit it for approval as soon as possible."

Xiao Wang seemed to be crying and laughing at the same time, "Director Zhang, we really want to perform with "Dancing"..."

Zhang Ye smiled and said, "How will you know if you don't try?"

Xiao Wang said anxiously: "But there is no need to try, we are a documentary, why..."

"Even if we change the broadcast time, so what?" Zhang Ye said: "You don't have to feel any pressure. Which day will it be broadcast? Maybe with the popularity of "Dancing", we can also help us get it for free. As for publicity, you don’t have to spend a penny.”

They were right.

Even if they avoid the broadcast time of "Dance," not many people will watch their documentary, and the result will be no different.

Then, Zhang Ye began to assign tasks.

He was not idle either and started making phone calls one by one.

First call:

"Hey, Mr. Qu, I've contacted you."

"Teacher Zhang, hello, hello, I was in a meeting just now."

"We have a show here, I guess you've heard about it."

"I know, it's a documentary."

"Look, we have cooperated very happily on the secondary advertising of "The Voice". You also know my character. This program will definitely not disappoint you. We don't have a title sponsor yet. You …”

"Oh, I'm sorry, Teacher Zhang, we are not rich in funds recently and we really can't get it out."

"We are a food documentary, and it fits your winery brand very well."

"We really don't have enough funds. Let's do it next time. We will definitely cooperate next time."

Second call:

"Hey, Boss Zhou, it's me."

"Director Zhang, long time no see."

"I just made a documentary about advertising your juice drinks..."

"Director Zhang, let me tell you the truth, if you were filming a variety show, even a talk show, I would definitely rush to you for the naming rights, but what you are doing now is a documentary, and there is basically no commercial value in it. The ratings are not good either, so I’m really sorry.”

"The ratings are definitely much higher than you think."

"Next time, when you do a variety show next time, I will be the first to come to you. I dare to invest 50 million!"

After several phone calls, nothing was found.

Zhang Ye was extremely helpless. These businessmen were so short-sighted!

Ha Qiqi also called back, "Director Zhang, it's no good. I asked seven or eight food and beverage-related companies, but none of them were willing to buy our advertising. Only one company was slightly interested, but when they heard that we They didn’t agree to not place ads in the feature film.”

Zhang Ye explained: "This is not a variety show. The main part of the documentary must be clean and clean. There must be no smoky things, otherwise it will affect the overall quality of the documentary. Therefore, the titles and advertisements we sold this time are all between the main part and the main part." Somewhere outside.”

Ha Qiqi sighed, "That's even less attractive. I've also talked to several video websites about the copyright for online broadcasting. They are also very willing to cooperate with us, but the price they gave is very low, almost negligible. It’s like broadcasting it to them for free.”

"Forget it, I'm mentally prepared for this." Zhang Ye said: "If there are no ads, there will be no ads. We will take our time after the show is broadcast."

Everyone in the column team felt that Director Zhang was thinking too much.

In the entire Republic for decades, there have been very few projects that can make money from documentaries, let alone advertising fees. This feels a bit like a dream!

Want to sell ads again?

Do you want to have variety shows broadcast simultaneously on the Internet?

Do you want to compete in the arena at the same time as "Dancing"?

No one in the column team knows what is going on in Zhang Ye's mind. They are just a traditional documentary about grandma not loving her uncle. Do you still want to follow the pattern of a variety show?

Zhang Ye didn't explain anything to anyone. This part didn't work, and he didn't force it. He immediately started working on the next step. He immediately arranged for artists to make promotional posters for "Bite of the Tongue" and then led a group of people to edit the film. It took an hour to cut out a three-minute trailer, or promotional video, for "Bite of the Tongue". As long as it was paired with music and dubbing, it could be released.

Background music is a big job, much more troublesome than Zhang Ye's own dubbing, so he handed it over to seven or eight people and asked them to do it. If it doesn't work, he can spend some money to hire people from the music company to do it. Zhang Ye knew a few people in the circle, and their column group still had some spare money, which should be enough. As for the editing and dubbing work, it is almost entirely Zhang Ye's own business. Others only come to help him, and essentially cannot help him.

The work begins!

"Director Zhang, I'm done."

"No, make it more detailed."

"Director Zhang, is this poster okay?"

"No, it's too thin. Just a few farmers farming? That's monotonous."

"Well, we are just introducing ingredients and food programs, this..."

"Food programs also need to have an artistic atmosphere, especially the cover posters, which need to be more prominent. Let's do this. You can change the rice in these rice fields into images of calligraphy."

"Brush calligraphy?"

"Yes, the rice has been replaced with calligraphy. When you are far away, you suddenly see that it is rice. When you get closer, you can see that the farmers are planting calligraphy. By the way, let's make a few more posters, such as a steaming rice dumpling. , make it look like a mountain, and add two real mountain peaks around it.”

"Wow, this idea is great!"

"Yeah, the atmosphere came out instantly!"

"Director Zhang is still a professional."

"Isn't this nonsense? How long ago did Director Zhang start doing his own advertising? Which of Zhang's commercials is not well-known to everyone? In terms of publicity, no one can compare with us, even if they don't do variety shows. It’s a documentary, so our skinny camels are bigger than horses!”

The "Bite of Tongue" column team has been busy for a while!
