Wang Xiong read the rest of the plan patiently.

Zhang Ye, who was sitting across from him, said, "A talk show is just a transliteration. As for why it's called this, um, it's just a name I chose casually. The general format is to combine current events and make some jokes to tell the audience, such as songs and movies. , For example, some popular news in the society can be taken and made into some interesting jokes and the audience will laugh, um, it's simple."

Wang Xiong looked at him, as if to confirm whether he was joking with him, and knowing that he saw Zhang Ye's serious eyes, he was speechless: "Isn't that just a lecture program? At most, news is added. attributes, adding some current events to share with the audience?"

Zhang Ye waved his hand, knowing that he still didn't understand, "It's not a lecture, nor is it news. In fact, the core selling point of this column is to be funny, and to make everyone relax is the main purpose. As for the current affairs news used in the talk show, the authenticity is not the same. It doesn't matter, rumors on the Internet can even be taken casually, whether it is chasing the wind or distorting history, you don't have to care, you don't care if it's funny."

"So it's similar to a variety show? Several hosts invite guests to keep making jokes? To achieve a funny effect?" Wang Xiong asked.

Zhang Ye shook his head, "No, I'm the only host, it's different from the traditional variety show you mentioned, I don't even need to invite guests, I don't need any help from outsiders, just give me dozens of audiences. I don't play jokes, I don't play games, I just listen to me."

"you alone?"

"Yes."

"Listen to your jokes?"

"Yes."

"Isn't that stand-up comedy?"

"It's not the same. Stand-up comedy has a theme, while a talk show basically doesn't have much theme, and it's also a directional theme. It's not clear, and it can have no beginning or end. Stand-up comedy makes a big difference.”

A famous talk show artist in Zhang Ye's world once said that when he first started his talk show, the cross talk didn't fail, but when he went back to talk about cross talk, it was because he was familiar with the talk show, and his performance was a mess. Later, he adjusted and found the trick, so that he could talk about talk show and cross talk, so it can be seen here that the two art forms are not the same concept at all.

Wang Xiong said: "Maybe it's because of my clumsiness. I have never heard of such a program. Is there such a new program abroad?"

Zhang Ye replied, "Not yet.

"

"You mean it's your own creation?" Wang Xiong touched his forehead.

Zhang Ye nodded, "Yes, I have the confidence to make this show well."

Wang Xiong looked down at the planning case again, and after a long silence, he said to him: "Xiao Zhang, it's not that I don't believe in your level, but this program format is too unusual and too much, you think the audience can accept it. Is it? Anyway, I look at planning this way, I can't accept it, there are countless jokes, these can support a column? Impossible, where is it so simple, there have been some story columns before, telling small stories and telling jokes, but the truth is It proves that this kind of show is too limited, it can't attract the audience, and it has no such appeal. It's okay to tell jokes, but it's good to tell a joke occasionally like a variety show. It's all a pile of jokes, what do you want others to think about this? You'll have to be impatient after watching it halfway through."

Zhang Ye smiled bitterly, "Leader, as I said before, the talk show is not a simple joke, but has his own artistic form and artistic charm."

"I can't approve the planning of this column." Wang Xiong rejected it.

Zhang Ye immediately said, "I've really been preparing for a long time. I'm confident and capable of making it happen..."

Wang Xiong interrupted, he was very sure of his judgment, and said: "If this kind of program is used, it is better for you to continue to talk about history. Even if the audience's age is somewhat limited, at least it will not go sideways. What are you talking about now? Xiu's, it's too biased to be popular."

Zhang Ye said, "It's definitely going to be hot."

Wang Xiong looked at him, "Change to another one?"

"I insist on this program." Zhang Ye was very firm, "You may think that the audience may not accept the format of the talk show. It doesn't matter. I can try a few episodes. Let's look at the effect of the program. If it really doesn't work, the audience will not accept it. If you buy it, you can cut off the column."

Wang Xiong frowned, "Are you so confident?"

"Yes." Zhang Ye said calmly, "I've never been so confident before."

Wang Xiong has seen many hosts or program planners who have had their plans rejected. They must have made a column plan that they liked and thought it would be popular, so they submitted it. Every time Wang Xiong rejected it, the other party would justify it. Strive, the mood will not be very good, will continue to tell Wang Xiong how good their new column is, excited and anxious, belongs to the kind of fans of the authorities. But Zhang Ye's reaction caused Wang Xiong to give him more glances, because he wasn't so excited, and even seemed calm, just simply told Wang Xiong that his show would definitely be fine.

He clapped his hands on the planning case, and Wang Xiong said softly: "Well, you are not a novice in column and advertising planning, and you have made very dazzling achievements, so the company dares to let you develop your own column, if you don't Be willing, I can send the plan to it, you can go back and wait for the news."

"Okay, thank you, President Wang." Zhang Ye didn't say more, opened the door and left.

As soon as he left, Wang Xiong took the document and went directly to the top leader. The core of the network TV department is the network column, which is the most important part of their department, so the decision and approval of the new column, especially the new column, are personally Responsible.

Outside.

Zhang Ye didn't go back to the office area, but went to the bathroom first, washed his face with cold water, and looked in the mirror, feeling a little confused.

What if they don't pass?

What if they think talk shows are not good?

A brand-new program, many people do not have the courage to do it, because they will think, if this kind of program can be popular, why don't other TV stations think of it, why not do it? He is very conservative in his ideology, so he instinctively resists new things. The longer he works, the more conservative he is. But Zhang Ye is probably the only person in this world who knows that art forms such as talk shows are really popular, and they are very popular. Special fire, domestic and foreign killings, some people can't sleep without watching a talk show on weekend nights

But how to tell them?

Tell them that they are from another world, and that my world talk show is very popular? This art form has been affirmed by the market?

who believes

can't say that

Ten minutes later, Zhang Ye came out of the bathroom and returned to the office area.

A Qian approached and saw Zhang Ye and said, "Mr. Zhang, I'm looking for you. The director's secretary asked you to go to her office upstairs just now. It might be a matter of the show."

"Okay." Zhang Ye went.

Outside, he knocked on the door.

Feng Guiqin's voice came from inside, "Please come in."

Zhang Ye pushed open the door and entered the room, only to see that there were four or five people on the reception sofa. All of them were sitting around a table watching Zhang Ye's plan. Among them were Director Feng Guiqin and Wang Xiong. Zhang Ye didn't I know but have seen it, and it should be a department leader.

"Xiao Zhang, sit down too." Feng Guiqin pointed to the small sofa next to him, then shook the document in his hand, "This is your new column?"

Zhang Ye sat firmly, "Yes."

Feng Guiqin observed the people on both sides, "What do you think?"

A middle-aged man said, "To be honest, I'm quite disappointed. I can't see the core selling point or attraction of this so-called blurb. Hiring Zhang Ye with a high salary is actually because he values ​​his column planning ability and eloquence, but this Planning is boring, and I don’t think it is necessary to carry out.”

Wang Xiong said something for Zhang Ye, "Old Gu, it's not as bad as you said, it's just not very good.

The leader of the old Gu said: "But it's far from what I expected. "Hundred Schools Forum" is the best history lecture column I've ever seen."

Another man in his thirties pushed his glasses and dropped the plan in his hand, saying, "The bigger the expectation, the bigger the disappointment. I'm not optimistic about this talk show. What's the point of a column that tells jokes? Some people may think it is good at a glance, but it is impossible to maintain long-term attention. There are even many viewers who will not watch it. Isn't it just plagiarizing jokes on the Internet? What technical content can this have? Copyright is also a problem. , What if someone accuses us of plagiarism, and then we go to court, what will happen to the negative impact?"

Zhang Ye explained, "It's not plagiarism, my jokes are definitely new."

Lao Gu said: "How many new jokes can you make alone? How many episodes can you support? And even if you don't talk about this problem, your show itself is flawed."

The man in his thirties said: "The most important thing is what is the attraction of this show? There are no handsome guys, and you don't have to be beautiful. You are the only one to tell jokes? Is it okay for the audience to check the jokes online? Why should I come to listen to you? The show? Am I right, Zhang Ye?"

Okay?

to you - big - grandpa

The two of you say one sentence to me, all of which are negative

Finally, the man said, "Are we right?"

Zhang Ye was annoyed by the talk, so he directly took out a sentence that was very deep in his memory. It was director Feng Xiaogang's words when he directed the Spring Festival Gala. I will definitely listen to and implement my opinions, but if you ask me to say that you are right, you cannot deny my basic judgment as an artist.”

Lao Gu frowned, "Are you still not convinced?"

"Okay, don't say a few words." Feng Guiqin said: "Although I am not optimistic about this kind of column that has never had a precedent, but the reason is that I can't judge the quality of the column, because it is the first case, the whole world I don't have any experience in this kind of column. I think so, you can try it, but it's only for one episode. Record the first episode and have a look. If the viewership hit rate doesn't even reach 500,000, then that's right. If it doesn’t stop, the column will definitely be cut off.”

Lao Gu said: "Director, there is no need to try?"

The man said: "And it's also a waste of resources. It costs money for venue layout and advertising."

Feng Guiqin said: "So just try it for one period, and you have to give some young people who dare to innovate a chance. That's it, Xiao Zhang, let's wait and see your results?"

Zhang Ye was moved. He didn't expect the top leader to actually agree, "Don't worry, I won't let you down."

Great

As long as he dares to let him be on the column, he can make everyone open their eyes and take a look. What is a talk show?
