Entertainment: I just want to be the boss behind the scenes

Chapter 164 I saw you talking and laughing with other women
Beijing North, Arclight Films.

"Mr. Meng, Mango TV has already approved our program, and the tentative name is "Celebrity Detective."

In the conference room, He Chen handed over the information in his hand and introduced it at the same time.

Meng Bai took the information and complained, "Who came up with the name of this program?"

"Well, our studio discussed this with the website." He Chen asked, "Why, do you think there is any problem?"

"There's no problem, it's just a little bit rustic."

The name of the American version is "Who is the Real Murderer" and the name of the Korean version is "Crime Scene".

Comparing it with "Who's the Detective", I can only say that it really has the style of "Mango TV".

Meng Bai looked at the program information in his hand. According to He Chen's idea, the whole program is based on the theme of celebrity role-playing reasoning, and each episode has different scenario plots and character relationships.

"Do you have any expected guests?" Meng Bai asked.

He Chen shook his head: "It's just the start of the project, and the specific content and style of the program have not yet been determined. It's too early to discuss the selection of guests."

After that, she added: "However, the candidate for the main MC has been decided. Mango TV has communicated with Mr. He and he will be in charge."

"Teacher He?" Meng Bai raised his eyes and asked, "He Jiong?"

"Yes."

Meng Bai praised lightly: "It seems that the bottom line of this program is at least guaranteed."

As the "stabilizing force" and "real pillar" of Mango TV, the fact that this program can let He Jiong be the main MC not only shows that Mango TV is quite optimistic about the project of "Who's the Detective", but also indirectly guarantees that the overall rhythm of the program should not have any problems.

but……

Meng Bai frowned and said, this show is a little different from other variety shows, many times it really can't let one person lead the pace.

For someone like He Jiong, it wouldn't be a big deal if he had the detective or civilian card.

But if he takes the "murderer card" and is the main MC, it is very likely that the other guests will subconsciously trust him, which will affect the effect of the entire program.

After all, a "one-sided" situation is a reflection of the guests' abilities, but it is a major failure for the entire program team.

There are two solutions. Either keep He Jiong as a "detective" or a "civilian".

But it’s still the same problem. One or two episodes won’t be a big problem, but if it happens too many times, it will really affect the audience’s viewing experience.

After all, if you eliminate a "suspect" right from the start, all the plots and performances of this character will become irrelevant.

Another way is to find someone to "fight" against He Jiong.

This "confrontation" not only requires the ability to host a program, but more importantly, the qualifications or status must be similar to He Jiong.

"So, Mr. Meng, what you mean is to change to a dual MC format?" He Chen asked.

Meng Bai nodded: "That's right. If there is someone who can restrain Teacher He, then the program team can freely set their identities normally."

He Chen thought about it carefully and found that this was indeed the case. His previous considerations were too superficial.

In fact, their team had vaguely sensed some problems when they were designing, but in the end they were suppressed by the reputation of "Teacher He".

Now think about it, even the main creative staff of their program group have such strong trust in He Jiong, not to mention the specific guests in the program.

"Mr. Meng, it is indeed the best choice for our program to let you be the content planner for this project." He Chen said excitedly.

But after all the excitement, another question arises, that is, who can compete with He Jiong?

For example, taking the hosts of domestic entertainment, not counting those for news and serious programs, and only talking about the variety show track, if He Jiong is used as the standard, it seems that there are few who can compete.

We can’t invite another “Old Style Pickled Cabbage Ambassador” Wang Han from Mango TV.

Putting aside whether his style matches the show, even if He Chen and others are Mango TV's own sons, it is impossible for Mango TV to put two major hosts in the same show.

The two thought about it for a while, but had no idea, so they decided to put the issue aside for the time being.

"Teacher He is about to start filming a movie, so our program can only be officially launched after the movie is over." He Chen said. Meng Bai asked curiously, "Why, is Teacher He planning to film again?"

By the way, although He Jiong is far ahead as a host, he is still far behind as an actor.

As the saying goes, "Deyun in the north and Kuaiben in the south", these two have almost become the "symbols of bad movies" in recent years.

"This time I'm not shooting, I'm directing." He Chen explained: "Didn't Mr. He sing a song called "Gardenia Blossoms" before? It happens to be the tenth anniversary of its release, so I plan to direct a youth film with the same name."

"Wow……"

Meng Bai touched his eyebrows. There were too many flaws in this sentence and he didn't know where to start.

A movie adapted from a song from ten years ago, and a youth film at that. Isn't this just a copy of last year's "You Are the One"?

But the problem is that Gao Dajin at least knew to find Guo Fan, a serious director, and he just hung up the title of producer.

How could you, Teacher He, be so brave to go straight to the director?

Having said that, in the past two years, the quality of both film directors and films seems to be depreciating more and more. Almost anyone with a little fame and resources can put a name to it and make a movie.

On the contrary, the TV series has remained quite strong, and basically no one dares to jump in this direction.

I guess they know their own level of ability. They think they can fool people with a two-hour movie. At most, they can just add some gimmicks during the pre-promotion and warm-up. Anyway, they can trick the audience into buying tickets.

But if a TV series of 20 or 30 episodes has a bad first episode, the audience will just switch channels.

Thinking about it this way, I should have studied at Beijing Film Academy. With the title of a director, I might be in Cannes now.

Of course, he just thought so and had never heard of the Palme d'Or being awarded to a suspense film.

He Chen naturally didn't expect that Meng Bai would have so many thoughts in his mind in a blink of an eye, and then said: "This movie is a collaboration with Huayi Film and Television. Teacher He happened to be auditioning actors in Beijing North these days."

She called Meng Bai mainly to discuss the details of the program, and by the way, she was also going to find He Jiong to ask about the specific schedule of the movie.

"So what time will it take?"

"I haven't gone yet." He Chen spread his hands.

Meng Bai thought about it, and then he thought, "Is it convenient for me to go with you? It can also be regarded as a meeting with Teacher He in advance."

"It shouldn't be a problem." He Chen took out his phone and said, "Wait a minute, I'll ask."

After waiting for a while, she received a reply. After taking a look, she said, "Teacher He said he is free right now. If it is convenient for you, Mr. Meng, let's go together."

"Okay, let me arrange it."

After arranging the company's affairs, Meng Bai and He Chen rushed to the Huayi Film and Television Building together.

After parking the car, the two went upstairs together. As soon as they reached the lobby, his cell phone suddenly rang.

I looked at the screen and it was Song Zhi's.

Meng Bai said something to He Chen, then walked a few steps to the side and answered the phone.

"What are you doing?"

As soon as the phone was connected, Song Zhi's voice came out.

"I'm thinking about you." Meng Bai said without hesitation.

There was silence on the other end of the phone, and a slight laugh was faintly heard.

But then, the girl said in a strange voice: "Haha, are you really thinking about me? But why do I see some people talking and laughing with other women?"

"what?"

Hearing this, Meng Bai subconsciously looked around.

Sure enough, not far behind him, he saw Song Zhi squeezing his face and trying hard to make an "unhappy" expression.
