Li Rui's bid and proposal are like suckers.

But for Finch, a "tyrant" who wishes to take all the power on the set, it is so much to his liking.

Moreover, filming twenty-six episodes in one go can fully present his creative concepts. This uninterrupted power is far more tempting to him than the 100 million magnesium dollar.

However, he said cautiously: "Mr. Li, I am very interested in your proposal, but I still have a question to ask you. What would you do if the ratings are not good?"

Ratings are the only criterion that determines whether a magnesium drama can continue. Even if you shoot a shit movie, as long as the ratings are good enough, you can still shoot it for a long time. Even if you shoot a work with a lot of reputation, as long as the ratings do not meet the requirements, you are sorry, so you can only cut it off!

Finch already has a synopsis of the plot of "House of Cards". If he shoots it exactly according to his ideas, two seasons are not enough, at least five seasons.

Li Rui said: "Let me briefly introduce my idea of ​​"House of Cards". This is the first self-produced drama I prepared for Blockbuster. It will not be played on any TV network, but can only be broadcast on the Blockbuster website. You don't need to consider the ratings, just consider how to realize your ideas, and I will support you unconditionally! After two seasons are filmed, if you want, I can renew the contract for at least three seasons!"

Finch looked excited and immediately said, "Very good, I accept your proposal!"

"I hope we have a happy cooperation!" Li Rui said with a smile, "I will send someone to contact you for subsequent contract issues."

"Happy cooperation!" Finch said.

Burns and Zhu Qianxue were both stupid, so what was the end of the conversation?

I thought it would be difficult to negotiate with someone with a weird personality like Finch, but it was settled without even half an hour from beginning to end.

But after thinking about it carefully, there is really nothing to talk about. Li Rui has given preferential treatment that the entire magnesium drama industry has never received before. Finch really doesn't need to make any more demands.

This is how Blockbuster’s first self-produced drama was confirmed.

I hope Netflix, who has never had "House of Cards" in this life, can be stronger and find a similar hit.

Li Rui is just waiting for the launch of "House of Cards" now, blinding everyone's eyes!

...

Saturday, January 7th.

Li Rui took Alpha to the filming scene of "Running".

This is the first recording of the first season of "Running". Other guests have gathered together the day before. Li Rui has a different identity and can be a little bit of a big shot.

When he arrived at the scene, Li Rui met the director, producer and other staff and six other guests.

"Hello, Boss Li." Huang Bo and Li Rui are also old acquaintances. After meeting Xu Zheng, they joined the filming of "Taigui". They also met at the charity dinner a few days ago. After meeting, they greeted each other very cordially.

Tang Shi and Lin Xin are both their own family members, needless to say.

It was the first time Sha Yi, Wang Sunlan and Peng Yuyan met. They knew Li Rui's identity and came to greet him respectfully.

When Li Rui saw the three, his first reaction was: Lao Bai is so fat, Wang Sunlan is so short, and Peng Yuyan is so handsome!

Xia Kaian and Xu Xiaoyang also came over to say hello to Li Rui. They represented Lantai and Xingrui Entertainment respectively as producers of "Running".

"Old Xia, congratulations on your promotion." Li Rui said with a smile.

Xia Kai'an said: "It's all for Mr. Li's blessing."

"The Good Voice of China" has achieved unprecedented success. Although Blue Channel sold the advertising period to Li Rui in advance and made a lot of money, it still gained a lot of returns from its soaring ratings.

As the main hero of introducing "Good Voice", Xia Kaian was praised by Taiwanese leaders and was promoted from director of the variety show department to director of the variety show department, and now he monopolizes the variety show power of Blue Channel.

With previous experience in cooperation, Xia Kaian certainly treated Li Rui as an idol, and as long as it was Li Rui's proposal, it would be handled as an important instruction.

Xia Kaian introduced the director to Li Rui.

The director's name is Lu Hao, and he is very experienced in directing variety shows, but he also knows who the boss of this show is. The first thing he said when he saw Li Rui was: Please give me some advice!

Xia Kaian said again: "Mr. Li, you bought the copyright of this program, you gave it to it, and you made the planning. I thought it would be better if it was not the case. Since the producer has left it to Mr. Xu, I will add you to the director list."

Li Rui said modestly: "This is not very good, I'm just here to be a guest."

"But you have indeed made contributions to the show that are comparable to the director. I think you should add your name. Xiao Lu, don't you?" Xia Kaian asked Lu Hao.

Lu Hao dared to say that, and nodded repeatedly and said, "That's right! In fact, Mr. Li's contribution is much greater than mine, so it should be placed in front!"

"Don't do this... let's put it in the end." Li Rui was also thick-skinned, and when he saw that he couldn't let it go, he respected Xie Bumin.

Everyone has seen it, Li Rui first took out makeup, and listened to the director's script while putting on makeup.

Variety shows all have scripts, only different degrees of difference. The reactions of the guests on the screen are instant, but they are actually performed according to the script.

For example, during the filming of "Running", each guest will be accompanied by a director. Their job is to provide the guests with scripts at any time. The guests only need to do it according to the script arrangement to create conflicts to enrich the content of the program.

When Jobs was young, he thought television was a conspiracy, and TV networks joined forces to make the public even more stupid, but his point of view was actually wrong.

It is the public who makes themselves stupider, not TV.

The reality show is performed according to the script, which sounds stupid, but it cannot be blamed on the program team. They are just catering to the needs of the public.

The public needs conflict, stimulation, and surprises. What can the program team do?

You can't really expect the guests to have fierce conflicts every episode. The program team can only make up scripts based on the public's joys, anger, sorrows, and happiness to ensure that there are people watching the program.

This creates a strange cycle, which is really unpopular, and you must make up if you want to be popular. So when you see silly program content or novel content, don’t rush to scold the author. Occasionally, think about what exactly caused this situation!

The two episodes filmed in Haizhou are the third and seventh episodes respectively. The third episode is arranged at Haizhou University. The guests returned to their long-lost university life. The seventh episode received sponsorship and chose to set up the sets of Haizhou in the 1930s at Qianda Plaza and Xinghai Cinema to stage a love that travels through time and space.

According to the character designs given to the guests by the program, Li Rui and Tang Shi need to form a CP. After the ambiguous stage of the first and second episodes, some real things will start to be added in the third episode.

During this period of Haizhou University, they were divided into a team. Li Rui wanted to show his boyfriend power while fighting against other guests and capture Tang Shi's heart.
Chapter completed!
