I’m in Hollywood Chapter 716: Is it too stingy?

Remember [lnmao.org] in one second, fast update, no pop-up window, free to read!

One of the most important factors for the success of original's "America's Next Top Model" and "Project Runway" is that Tyra? Banks and Heidi? Klum are both Producer identities and are deeply involved in the production of the program.

Although Eric has watched few episodes "America's Next Top Model", even if he himself played the gourd painting scoop himself, he is likely to produce nondescript things, because his professional knowledge of fashion is only half-knowledge, but he can simply distinguish A professional model makeup, the pros and cons of cat walk, but let him comment in detail on what is good and what is not good, Eric can not say at all, but these questions are for the top two supermodels who have been in the fashion industry for many years. There is no problem at all.

However, I want these two beautiful stunners to show great thoughts. On these two programs, it is certainly not enough to be the host. Therefore, Eric came up with the idea of ​​producing according to the previous life cooperation model. Eric can also rest assured that a small part of their benefits will be involved in the production of the two of them in depth.

After Eric finished, Cindy Crawford pointed to the document in the hands of Eric and said: "Eric, you let us build the main team of our own, but if there is only one production budget, we simply do n’t know what to do?"

Linda Evangelista followed suit and said, "Yeah, Eric, should you give us some guidance?"

"Let's divide the task first," Eric smiled and handed the two documents to Cindy Crawford and Linda Evangelista, saying: "Based on my understanding of the two of you, I think Cindy is more suitable for" America's Next Top Model ", then, Linda you are responsible for" Project Runway "."

Linda Evangelista took the document from Eric. It was not as eager to open as Cindy Crawford, hesitated and said: "Eric. You may not know enough about me, otherwise, you must know that I am more suitable for" America's Next Top Model ", but I am the first supermodel Oh."

From the conversation just now, Linda Evangelista realized that "Project Runway" was a temporary idea of ​​Eric, and the supermodel competition was also more civilian than the design competition. Well, the prospect of "Project Runway" ​​is definitely not as good as the long-awaited "America's Next Top Model". Although Eric insisted, she only accepted the share, after all, behind them. But there are Victoria’s Secret Legion and another 30 eight angels waiting for this opportunity. She will not give up the silly thing of giving the opportunity to others, but Linda Evangelista still feels that she should fight, in case Eric agrees.

Before Eric spoke, Cindy Crawford retorted: "Linda, I am the first supermodel to be a TV host, obviously more suitable for" America's Next Top Model "than you."

"What's the use of being a fashion show host for a few years, seriously, Cindy, I think your taste of this suit is not good today. It's just that I have been embarrassed to tell you."

"Oh, thank you for your guidance, Linda." Cindy Crawford stretched her body lightly, without being angry, and looked at Eric with a smile: "Eric, Linda has a higher dress taste than me, so she still served as" Project Runway "Producer is more suitable, hehe."

Linda Evangelista didn't expect to dig a pit and fill himself in. He hummed dejectedly and looked at Eric.

"Nà, don't argue. That's how things are settled," Eric looked at the two women against each other. Laughed: "I now have more confidence in the two of you."

"Oh, why?" Cindy Crawford feels that Eric's smile is a bit bad. Asked curiously.

Eric did not answer directly, but asked: "Do you know what is the most important thing for Reality Show?"

The two girls raised their heads at the same time, and Eric did n’t sell the pass, laughing: "The most important thing about Reality Show is the drama. You two just talked, and you can join the Reality Show lens without any processing. "

No matter what form of Reality Show, there is an element. In the West, this element is called scratching the horse. In the east, it is called tearing.

Both Cindy Crawford and Linda Evangelista are a little embarrassed, but Eric does n’t mind at all, and continues: "In fact, the prospects of the projects in your two hands are similar, the most important thing is whether you can do well, just like" Project Runway " You can grasp the essence of Reality Show, even if the audience does not understand the knowledge of fashion design, they can find the fun of continuing to watch from the confrontation of the players. "

Cindy Crawford had just seen "Survivor", and after listening to Eric said, asked: "Eric, I always have a doubt," Survivor "in the end has script?"

Eric nodded and smiled: "Yes."

Cindy Crawford suddenly felt a sense of being cheated. You must know that "Survivor" ​​has always been completely free of script as a promotional gimmick. She used to like the "Survivor" program: "Then we watch it on TV The ones you arrived are all designed? "

"You will do it yourself next, so you definitely need to know, Reality Show must have script, but this script is not the script that is mainly based on the lines when making movies and TV shows, but the program format script In this kind of script, in addition to some of the host ’s iconic lines, the other is mainly to design some possible plots based on the player ’s personality. Moreover, this plot setting does not force the player to execute, the program group wants What they do, they will conduct more obscure guidance. "Eric said, looking at the two women with a smile on the corner of the mouth, said:" For example, I want you two to argue, so I think you both are more optimistic. The project was handed over to one of them, and the other felt dissatisfied, so there was the situation just now. "

Linda Evangelista frowned, "Eric, you are so hateful, and making fun of us again."

"I am talking about facts," Eric smiled and continued: "In addition, there is interest guidance. As long as the players participating in" Reality Show "are smart enough, they will know what the program group wants them to do. Under the stimulation of huge bonuses, they often take the initiative to make the effects that the program group needs. The script in ordinary people's cognition is often the line script, and the "script" in Reality Show is the behavior script. Therefore, Reality Show is external Propaganda does not have script. Actually it is not a lie. "

Cindy Crawford asked: "Eric, what if the plot is designed but the players are not willing to execute it?"

"There are so many players in a file Reality Show, the production team can collect at least several hours of material in each shoots process, but the official broadcast program only has 43 minutes per episode, so you can completely choose from a pile of materials Choose the lens that meets your needs. For those players who want to walk alone. The result is very simple, pass. And when the show ends, there are fewer and fewer players. At this time, do n’t worry at all. Because you can stay, you must be familiar with the rules and willing to Accepted. "

"Wow, I feel ... the whole outlook on life is going to be subverted, then, is this still professional Reality Show, I mean. Can our professional knowledge be used?" Linda Evangelista exaggerated Zhang Xiao Mouth, sighed.

Eric nodded: "Of course, if in the future the fashion designer in your show can reach the point of stunning everyone. For the sake of fairness, you definitely need to keep him. This is the principle of strength overwhelming, but People with this kind of strength will definitely be less likely to participate in Reality Show. "

Cindy Crawford does not have the emotion of Linda Evangelista, but she considers more practical things, saying: "Eric, I was thinking, can you transfer us a skilled Producer from the" Survivor "project? ? "

"Of course. Even if you don't mention this, I will do it. I just said that Firefly will provide you with a part of the staff. Refer to these."

Linda Evangelista is not to be outdone, and asked: "Then Eric, can you briefly talk about the idea of" Project Runway ", I can't just make it completely without direction?"

Although I have not watched "Project Runway", it belongs to the follow-up work of "America's Next Top Model". Eric can also roughly figure out some program formats, saying: "The first is to build a creative team. Firefly will take a few people to participate in Survivor "production professionals give you. But if you completely imitate the form of" Survivor ", then I can almost foresee the failure of this program, so, on the basis of" Survivor ", you need to make your own style As far as "Project Runway" is concerned, you need to find a few judges, three fixed judges, count yourself, plus an old fashion designer, a fashion magazine editor, this can be found from Hearst Communications , They will cooperate. Of course, if you have the right person, you can also follow your own ideas. "

Linda Evangelista tilted his head and thought for a while, said: "Eric, what do you think of Anna? Wintour?"

Eric is speechless.

Cindy Crawford laughed out loudly and said sarcastically: "Linda, I think Carr? Lagerfeld is more appropriate. You please invite the Lafayette and give him the positions of Producer and the host. "

As soon as Linda Evangelista was spoken, she realized that she was a little whimsical, but she said to Cindy Crawford without any weakness: "I just talk about it casually, do you need to be so happy?"

"Okay, don't be noisy," Eric still likes to watch cats fight, but now is not the time.

After the two women turned their attention to him, Eric continued: "Linda, you have to understand that you are the core and signboard of this show, so the person with the biggest card in this show can only It ’s you, even I will be completely hidden behind the scenes, and will not appear on any Producer list. In terms of selecting judges, at least, two fixed guests, the number of coffee places must not exceed you, and guest guests need to consider sustainability. Sex, even if you have this connection, it is impossible to let others attend the show in vain. You must pay the guest cost, but the budget size of this show is not too large as long as 20 million USD, so you can do it in some special episodes Occasionally invite one or two big names, but more often, it is better to invite people who have a little popularity but are not so big. "

Linda Evangelista nodded and said, "Then other, I just saw" Survivor ", do we want to adopt a grouping mechanism of two opposing resistances like" Survivor "?"

“In this regard, you need to think about it with your team. I can only give some ideas of my own. Group confrontation is definitely not possible. You know, every designer is a complete individual , They have their own style, so in the program, you can conduct group confrontation, but most of the time, it is best to be a single-body confrontation mode. Well, I think, you can choose a theme for each episode and specify the corresponding Time for them to make, then judge, and eliminate one by one, and finally win the championship. Well, the structure of each episode is roughly the same. "

Cindy Crawford said: "Eric, what should our champion reward, is it 1 million USD?"

"This is definitely not going to work, we are a niche program of niche TV Station, so only 100,000."

"Hundreds of thousands, is it too stingy?"

"Do you think everyone has this kind of high income like the two of you? The average annual salary of United States people is less than 50,000 USD and 100,000 USD, which is a huge sum for most people. In order to maintain sufficient authenticity, the selection of the two programs in your hands must be strictly limited to the civilian class. professional model is best to be a fledgling small town girl, and the designer should not be too professional. In addition, the final reward There must be more than money. In addition to the bonus, the final prize of "America's Next Top Model" also needs to provide the resources needed for professional model's fame. For example, an opportunity to log in to the top fashion magazine cover, this Hearst Communications will provide support, and the other is the signing opportunity of professional model Brokerage Firm. You communicate with your own Brokerage Firm, I think they will never be stingy with this cooperation opportunity. "

"What about me, what about mine?" Linda Evangelista asked.

"Your side is also a 100,000 USD bonus, um, it is best to have another opportunity to cooperate with a fashion company, you first contact yourself, I will also greet Limited," Eric said, waving his hand, Tao: "In short, these are your own things." (To be continued.)
