Chapter 512： face change

"Honey, won't this be too... too controversial?" Scarlett's eyes widened with a look of surprise.

Tang En said with a smile: "Controversy is traffic."

Natalie shook her head, "Even so, I don't think "Truth or Dare" is suitable for starz TV."

"Oh? Tell me about it?"

"A show like 'Truth or Dare'... To put it bluntly, it attracts attention with kitsch, vulgar private matters, and I don't think the elites will be interested in such shows."

Natalie's social circle is not in Hollywood, in her words, "she has nothing in common with those idiot actresses". She prefers to make friends with elites, and of course she understands better.

Scarlett listened and nodded again and again, "Yes, yes, I think so too, this show is not good."

Natalie shook her head and said softly: "It's not bad, it's inappropriate. "Truth or Dare" can be broadcast on a TV station like Fox, which is hard-working, so it's too incongruous on starz TV. Starz's subscription With such a high cost, most of the users are elites above the middle class, and what they want to see is not the vulgar private life of others, but high-quality programs with content and taste."

Dunn could not help but admire Natalie secretly.

Really talented girl!

In the past life, as soon as the project "Truth or Dare" was proposed, it ran into a wall on the three major TV networks of nbc, cbs, and abc, and was finally accepted by the fox TV network and broadcast.

Fox is the fourth largest TV network after nbc, cbs, and abc. If you want to increase the ratings, you must broadcast some "extraordinary" programs to attract attention.

Dick Clark Television Production Company has been recruiting employees since March this year. It is expected that 500 new employees will join this year to enrich the production team of the reality show.

After "American Idol", "Wise and Brave", and "The Bachelor", it seems necessary to launch "Truth or Dare".

"The Bachelor" was handed over to NBC by Dunn and is expected to be broadcast in late November this year.

The reason why Tang En refused ABC and handed "The Bachelor" to NBC was that, in addition to the price that NBC could not refuse, Tang En also asked NBC Group not to disturb his acquisition of Universal Pictures.

In other words, you cannot participate in bidding and drive up prices.

"American Idol" was given to cbs, "Wise and Brave" was given to abc, and "The Bachelor" was given to nbc... Next, it is time to give Fox a reality show to achieve a balance between the two.

"Truth or Dare" is the best choice.

"Okay, let's get rid of "Truth or Dare", let's take a look at this project, "Overpass"." Dunn put away the previous planning document and sent them the second one.

"Costume design? I like it!" Scarlet briefly glanced at the introduction and exclaimed in surprise.

Tang En smiled slightly, "Yes, this is a reality show of clothing design, and it is also a curiosity. The contestants are all excellent clothing designers, and they have to face various challenges. Traditional clothing materials are used to make clothing, to design clothes for specific people, to design products for ready-to-wear companies, or to make special themed clothing.”

This is only a superficial phenomenon, and there is a deep meaning behind it.

When designing clothes, you must have models to try them on, right?

At this time, the value of the starz professional cable TV station can be reflected, and there is no need to cut any pictures, so that the bodies of the models can appear on the TV screen generously.

There are male models with sturdy bodies and female models with enchanting figures. This process of **** and dressing is definitely a highlight.

The original "Tianqiao Fengyun" was broadcast on TV, and it had this kind of footage, but the scale was limited.

Still in imdb, got an amazing high score of 7.3!

In terms of taste and quality, "Runover" is definitely the pinnacle of the reality show field.

Natalie watched silently for five minutes, glanced at Dunn with a half-smile, and nodded gently, "I also like this idea. It seems that your ideas are not all flattering and vulgar things."

Dunn didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Nate, are you praising me or scolding me?"

Scarlett pursed her lips and smiled, "Idiot, of course I'm complimenting you!"

She was next to Natalie, and the two sisters had formed a united front.

"Yes!" Natalie smiled witty, "Is there any more? Let's take a look."

Tang En said confidently: "The next one will be more high-end and atmospheric, hum, it's "Changing Face"!"

"Changing Face"?" Natalie was slightly startled, "John Wu's movie?"

Scarlett blinked and asked in surprise, "It won't be an action reality show, will it? That's shocking!"

Tang En said: "It has nothing to do with the movie. You can think of "Face Change" as a sister version of "Runover", or it can be called "Special Effect Makeup Artist Showdown"."

It was only when the girls took over the documents from Dunn.

"It turned out to be a makeup reality show! Well, professional makeup artists are really powerful and can achieve the effect of changing faces." Scarlett said repeatedly with admiration.

Natalie looked at the planning case and looked very happy, "Yes, this is it! I've been looking forward to a show like this! In the current movie, there are a lot of special effects makeup, which all look very fake, so that People dance. Including big productions like "The Lord of the Rings", there are a lot of makeup and costume arrangements, all of which are not satisfactory and not exquisite enough."

Dunn said with a smile: "That's because the budget of The Lord of the Rings is limited, and Peter Jackson has no choice."

"But this has nothing to do with the audience. Movies are art, and the audience cannot be perfunctory." Natalie said solemnly.

Scarlett said repeatedly: "Yes, yes, I particularly agree. Especially in horror movies, the makeup in there... It's very ridiculous, not to mention scary, I can't wait to laugh."

Natalie said: "Changing Face and Runway are both very good! One is to improve the audience's aesthetics for special effects makeup, and the other is to improve the audience's aesthetics for costume design. These two reality shows are very meaningful!"

Scarlett said: "Yes, by improving the audience's aesthetic level of movies and TV series, those shoddy film and television works can have no living space, which will push the creation of movies and TV series to a better direction. ."

Natalie nodded and said, "I agree! In fact, from a macro perspective, it is more meaningful. The overall level of Hollywood films is higher than that of foreign films. Being able to promote it overseas has improved the overall aesthetic taste of people all over the world. At that time, no one will watch those junk movies and TV dramas in foreign countries. At that time, only American TV dramas and Hollywood movies will be left on the market!”

Dunn was stunned and looked at Natalie.

Full of conspiracy!

However, it is a bit too difficult to change the aesthetic standards of movie fans all over the world through two reality shows.

Elites are elites because they are inclusive. And most people are trapped deep in the bottom, and most of the time it is because they hold a rudimentary thinking and a narrow self-interested comfort zone.

To put it bluntly, even programs such as "Changing Face" and "Overpass" are less entertaining.

Scarlett looked at Dunn's disapproving expression, and snorted lightly, ""Face Change" and "Overpass" were put on starz TV. Others will not talk about it, as long as the aesthetic standards of sta users are improved, You're done. At that time, will these users still be able to watch other TV stations' programs? They will definitely keep the sta and subscribe for a long time."

Natalie smiled and put her arms around Scarlett's shoulders, pursed her lips and said, "Don, didn't you say that the number of sta users is decreasing? It's because they can accept low-quality programs from other cheap TV stations. If "Changing Faces" ” and “Overpass” are popular on starz, forcibly improve their aesthetics, and then they will stick to sta and become stable users.”

Dunn was surprised to see Natalie and Scarlett, who were talking to each other. He was quite surprised.

This level of relationship, he had never thought of it before!

"Changing Face" is a reality show that was launched in 2011. As soon as it was broadcast, it quickly became popular in the United States and became a super upstart in the reality show industry.

The imdb score is as high as 8.2!

In the reality show rankings, it has occupied the first place for a long time.

Tang En wanted to provide sta with richer high-quality content through this reality show, but he didn't expect that after their reminder, the reality show would have such an extra effect!

The production of "Tianqiao Fengyun" and "Changing Faces" broadcast on starz TV station, while providing high-end programs with taste and quality, it can also improve the audience's aesthetics.

In this way, how can those TV series that are shoddy and flawed at first glance be accepted by these users?

Forcibly raising the aesthetic standards, then I can only stick to sta.

wonderful!

Wonderful!

Tang En was in a good mood, leaned over and kissed everyone's red lips, and asked happily, "So, the two shows were produced together?"

"Together!"

Natalie and Scarlett said in unison.

"Okay, let's go together then."

Tang En stood up, smiled evilly, and yanked the bath towel around his waist...

"oops!"

The two girls screamed.

"Don, you are a big bastard!"

"Ah! I don't want it!"

...

On August 11, Dunn held an important meeting within the company, announcing that Dick Clark Television Production Company would immediately start producing three reality shows, "Truth or Dare", "Face Change" and "Runway".

In particular, "Changing Face" and "Tianqiao Fengyun" are provided for the sta TV network, and the best production team must be selected to create a milestone in the reality show.

The next day, the negotiation between Dunn Pictures and Vivendi finally made a breakthrough.

Vivendi spat, they agreed to sell Blizzard, Snow Leshan and other related game departments.

As a condition, Dunn Pictures must buy the related assets of Universal Pictures, Universal Music, USA TV Network, and Houghton Mifflin Press in full cash to solve Vivendi's debt crisis.

The situation of Tang En Pictures is very good!
