Chapter 439 "Please Look at Me!"

"Mr. Zhou, I've heard of you for a long time."

"Hello, Director Yan."

This man looks like he is in his prime, and he should be considered a backbone in the industry of TV directors.

Yan Ming was very humble, and even though Zhou Rui was a generation younger than him, he couldn't help but thank him.

"This time, several sets of shots were shot with drones. Thank you, Mr. Zhou, for providing such a great thing."

When this variety show was recorded, the Lingniao series was naturally not on sale yet, but Zhou Rui had just finished an interview with Yang Ma, and after realizing how helpful this thing was for filming, he sent a few prototypes over to let them try it out and collect some data.

"Real Men" is the first TV show to use drones.

Talking about this, Zhou Rui became interested, pulled a chair and talked to Director Yan for a long time, asking about his experience.

The dishes were almost served after six o'clock, and everyone ate and drank as usual.

At 7:30 in the evening, the time when the news broadcast just ended, this time is the prime time for all TV stations across the country. Today is Saturday, which is the prime time of the prime time. It can be seen that Dragon TV has confidence in this program.

In the past, this time slot was given to popular TV series. In this year, TV series still have a better ratings.

Zhou Rui turned his chair and looked at the TV.

He was the one who planned this program. Of course, he referred to his memories of his previous life, but he did not participate in the specific filming process. He did not know whether it was changed.

To summarize: Five male artists from Huawen Media, represented by Zhou Lin, are paired with an old actor with a positive image and a grassroots actor who started out with military TV series. The seven people entered a certain unit for training together.

Overall, the various subjects of the two-year recruit period were compressed into one month, from military posture and discipline, to physical training, to survival in the wild.

At the same time, some special projects were also displayed, such as tanks, rocket launchers, rescue, etc.

When the filming was halfway through, the female soldiers were interspersed. The content was much less than that of the male soldiers, and it was compressed into about two episodes. It was also mainly about several girls from the Chinese Department.

With very strong military propaganda ability, it also received strong support from the military.

Zhou Rui asked Yang Rubin about this matter at the beginning and asked him to take the lead. As for the subsequent matters, no matter what, a big man like Yang Rubin would not come forward, and Zhou Rui also did not pay attention.

I only found out today that they went to a reinforced armored battalion under the East China Z District.

The first episode lasted more than two hours. To be honest, it was quite interesting.

The production team basically restored the plan given by Zhou Rui at the beginning, focusing on the process of "stars" transforming into "soldiers".

Spiritual transformation, skill transformation, and will transformation.

The opening was to send challenge cards to each artist from the first perspective of the camera, basically in some stage backstages and rehearsal rooms.

Highlighted the attributes of "artists".

To be honest, although the boys represented by Zhou Lin are not spoiled and call an ambulance when they get a scratch, they are from different industries after all. When they stand there, their skin color alone does not match the "soldiers".

Excluding the pre-interview, the first climax is that as soon as they enter the barracks, the recruit instructor brought several basins of water and asked everyone to remove their makeup on the spot.

Zhou Lin, who was standing aside, was afraid that the teacher would misunderstand, and immediately took the initiative to say: "Teacher, we have mentioned before that it is not necessary to wear makeup when entering the barracks, but this link is still needed for the effect of the program."

Zhou Rui nodded. As long as the starting point is good, it is okay to design some links for the effect, just like making a movie.

Similarly, for the effect of the program and for the positive publicity of military career, their recruit instructor is also the most handsome in the whole camp.

Well, it is also a program design.

I don't mean to belittle them, but Zhou Lin and his team are handsome guys who were carefully selected after all. If the instructors they sent were ordinary-looking, the contrast would be obvious when they stood together. This instructor is the "real soldier" who appears most on camera, which may have a counter-effect on the publicity.

So this battalion also sent the most handsome show in the battalion to maximize the effect!

In general, while pursuing "reality", it also takes into account "interest" and "publicity". It seems that Yan Ming is indeed a talent.

Zhou Rui learned from Yan Ming that there will be many big scenes later, such as field exercises, experience driving tanks, firing mortars, and practicing dagger fighting.

Although the equipment is not necessarily the most advanced, and for safety, it also has a little spring and autumn editing, but it is still a scene that will make people, especially men, excited.

The military really cooperated this time. There is such a good publicity hole, but it is well caught. It is said that the special forces are coming later.

Of course, these are all later stories, and it is impossible to see them in the first issue today.

The show continued, and the recruits were severely punished by the "super fierce, super handsome, super young" instructor. Even the old actor was scolded and lost his temper.

These days, it is still very eye-catching to see stars being treated mercilessly.

Then there were military posture, military discipline, canteen food, dormitory rules and regulations, etc.

Until the last part of the first episode, Zhou Rui's face turned black

Other people in the production team also looked at this Mr. Zhou.

At the time of filming, they all thought it was outrageous.

It turned out that there was a part at the end of the first day, that is, the squad leader of the recruits in the dormitory gave each person a small stool, and then gave everyone paper and pen, and asked everyone to write a letter to the person they wanted to write to the most.

According to the program design, these letters will be read by everyone at the end of the program to make everyone cry.

Those of us who have served as soldiers know that once you integrate into collective life, you may cry uncontrollably over a small matter when you leave.

As a result, outrageous things happened.

Others wrote to their wives and mothers.

Five boys from the Chinese Department all wrote to their "teachers".

It was about a week after the Che County incident, and Zhou Rui appeared in various news reports. The respect of several boys for their teachers was like a torrent of water, continuous and unstoppable.

Obviously, we didn't discuss it, but when we said to write to the person we wanted to write to the most, everyone wrote to the teacher directly.

Even the editor of the program group thought it was outrageous, and repeatedly emphasized with subtitles that no one was colluding.

"Teacher, I am already in the military camp, and the first day is about to end."

"Teacher, I will definitely stick to it. No matter what difficulties I face, I will never back down, just like you."

"Teacher, the first day in the military camp, I miss you, miss you, miss you."

"Teacher, I will remember your teachings, and hope you can keep an eye on me."

Zhou Rui's face was a little numb.

Embarrassing goose bumps all over his body, he turned his face away directly, damn, he couldn't keep an eye on me at all!

What you wrote is the same as my "spirit in heaven"!

It is conceivable that after this episode was broadcast, Zhou Rui has another hot spot.

The first episode ends here. Excluding the last 10 minutes, when Zhou Rui was embarrassed to dig out three bedrooms and a living room, everything else is pretty good.

At the end, Zhou Rui also heard a familiar melody, which was the song "Longing for Glory" he had written before.

Zhou Rui glanced at Li Yuehua and Yan Ming, and Yan Ming said, "The theme song was recommended by the army. I didn't know you had written a conscription song. It's just a coincidence. This song fits so well. There's really no reason not to use it."

Li Yuehua said, "Mr. Zhou, I asked you last month, and you agreed."

Zhou Rui actually had no impression of it. Maybe Gan Yuan just said it casually when she was reporting on her work one morning.

So he could only nod deeply: "Well, I have an impression. It's quite suitable, and the show is also very exciting."

Even if he was bombarded by variety shows in his previous life, Zhou Rui had to admit that this show was very good, especially in the old-fashioned show of "half blind date, half talent show", it was definitely a king bomb.

After the show was over and the meal was over, the TV station immediately reported that the first broadcast had a ratings of 61% and a ratings share of 7%.

When this news came, the whole box was cheering.

Zhou Rui didn't have much idea about this data, he just thought it was pitiful. After asking, he found out that it was already the third in the same period in the country and the first in the variety show category, and this was only the first episode.

This is just the TV ratings. Penguin Video broadcasts it online at a different time, which will also harvest a group of online users. The explosion of "Real Men" is a foregone conclusion.

Zhou Rui also applauded for the popularity of a program full of positive energy.

Compared with blind date shows that provoke confrontation between men and women, and talent shows that are just hype, such a program looks comfortable and is in line with his plan for "Huawen Artists".

And since then, Huawen Media has officially entered the production field, and its in-depth cooperation with Penguin Video and Dragon TV has become more tacit.
