After people have money, 99% of them will collect some antiques and works of art. This is also an investment, and can also be used to show off and satisfy spiritual needs.
Yao Yuan is no exception.
The cost of collecting these days is relatively high. He didn't pursue it deliberately. He just bought some things he really liked and put them in his study.
At night, the study is brightly lit.
He was sitting on a comfortable and spacious chair, writing some plans at his desk. When he ran out of ideas, he leaned back, took a jade Pixiu from the desk, held it in his hand and played with it.
It's not considered an antique, but the jade is good quality, made from golden sand skin, with fine yellow skin and fine flesh, and is naturally oily.
A collector introduced by Yu Qian, Yao Yuanting liked it and bought it.
He is a casual person, not as professional as Teacher Yu. There is a giraffe wrapped in amber in Teacher Yu’s backyard, and the two of them climb on the deer’s body to coat it with paste every day...
After playing around for a while, I got an idea again, so I went to my desk and continued writing.
There was music coming from the next door, and Yin Yin was practicing yoga again.
…
It is said that with the blessing of Yao Yuan, Yu Jiajia acted very quickly.
It's also a credit to her speed, because Zhejiang Satellite TV is negotiating copyright with the producers of "The Voice of the Netherlands", but their attitude is still very hesitant.
In April this year, the American version of "The Voice" was launched and immediately became a hit on the screen. Zhejiang Satellite TV finally decided to do this project after seeing the popularity of the American version.
And when Zhejiang Television was wavering, Yu Jiajia made a decisive move and won the only license in the mainland at a high price.
The entire process was in Yao Yuan's mind, eliminating a lot of planning. Even when Yu Jiajia was talking about copyright, they started to select people.
First is the mentor.
As we all know, variety shows have scripts.
For the tutors of "The Voice of China", which one turns around, which one doesn't, when to turn around, how many turns... Under normal circumstances, it can be decided by the tutor himself.
But for example, let’s say there is a beautiful contestant whose singing skills are mediocre.
The instructor may not turn around if his back is turned and cannot be seen, but in order to make the beauty attract the audience, the program team will tell a certain instructor to turn around through the earphones...
This is just the most basic operation, and it becomes even more important in the promotion competition.
Most of the instructors can accept the arrangement of the program team, after all, they have signed the agreement, but when they encounter the tougher ones, such as Eason Chan and Coco Lee, who reveal the secrets, the situation becomes tense.
The first season of "The Voice of China" has four stars: Liu Huan, La Ying, Yu Chengqing and Yang Kun.
Liu Huan also has some criticisms, but he won't expose it. The worst he can do is to finish recording one season and not invite him again. Laying is noisy, but he is very protective of the program team. He doesn't care about his shady stories, just pay him.
Yu Chengqing, a Taiwanese, has seen this kind of thing a lot, so it doesn't matter to him. Moreover, as a variety show host in Taiwan, he can mobilize the atmosphere and has enough celebrity status, so he is a good candidate.
Yang Kun just makes up the numbers, and he wins because he is obedient and has a good sense of humor. "I have 32 concerts this year" once became a popular meme, and people gave him the nickname "Yang 32lang".
Yao Yuan directly replaced La Ying with Han Hong.
"ha!"
He couldn't help but feel happy, and thought about the way Liu Huan and Han Hong were sitting in the middle. The two Buddhas were the kind that could block evil spirits.
There was only one left. After thinking about it, he crossed out Yang Kun and wrote the names Zhou Huajian, Eason Chan, and Stefanie Sun.
Let's see who wants to come.
Mainly for the first season, he wanted to make the guest lineup more grand and not be petty.
Followed by the players.
Do you think that the contestants of "The Voice of China" are all amateurs? How naive! They are all remade members of the talent show, professional singers who have never made it out, newcomers who have just debuted, students from the music conservatory...
The characteristics are unified: good singing skills or weird style, not famous.
"Swiss, swiss, swish!"
Just when Yao Yuan thought about this, many names came to mind and he quickly wrote them down on paper. For him, "The Voice of China" has become a reality.
He is only responsible for providing creative ideas and lists, which are implemented by Jiajia.
"..."
Yao Yuan got up and walked around the house, doing some activities. Seeing that Yinyin had already opened his laptop and was busy working, he wiped it back without disturbing him.
Then there are arrangements to go to the United States.
In addition to going to the United States to launch wheat grains and Hugelive to go overseas, there are other things to do. With the endorsement of the Ministry of Commerce, of course he has to make good use of it.
………………
Beijing.
After a day of shopping, Yao Beina returned home, washed herself, lay on the bed, took her notebook, and happily brushed wheat grains.
There are almost no young people who don’t watch MaiLi. It has the most complete range of movies and TV series and the most awesome UP hosts. You can always find one you like.
Yao Beina really likes Pan Pan's cooking.
She graduated from the China Conservatory of Music and joined the Hai Zheng Song and Dance Ensemble at the age of 24. She won one championship and one runner-up in the Youth Singing Competition. At a young age, she became independent in the system and participated in all large-scale evening parties and international exchange activities.
A young singer representative who belongs to the national team.
In 2009, she left Hai Zheng and began to pursue a commercial career, which has been tepid. She is currently preparing her first solo album.
This is her dream.
The songs that can be sung within the system are relatively limited, and there is no freedom. It means you have mixed seniority. In the future, if you get to the level of Captain Song, then that's it.
"Hahaha!"
At this moment, her stomach ached while watching Pan Pan having fun cooking, but she was suddenly interrupted by a phone call.
He is a person from 99 Entertainment.
Yao Beina sang the opening theme of "The Legend of Zhen Huan", and there was some interaction. She asked strangely: "Hey, sister, why did you remember to call me?"
"Are you busy at this time? We are having a singing competition, how about you come and participate?"
"Draft? I don't draft."
"Oh, it's not a competition like "Super Girl", isn't it a waste of your level..."
The person on the other side gave a brief introduction and said: "This is a rare opportunity. This is a key project of the company and there will be a lot of promotion resources. Don't you want to be a pop singer? Come on!"
Anyway, Yao Beina agreed to give it a try for the time being.
Both of them thought it was an invitation from the company, but little did they know that it was personally appointed by Boss Yao!
………
Hong Kong, Hummingbird Music.
Deng Ziqi, who was preparing for a concert, was suddenly called back to the company and looked at an invitation letter on the table in a daze.
"What's this?"
"There is a singing competition in the Mainland, please participate."
"Singing competition? Is there any mistake? It's been three years since I debuted!"
"Yes, this is a competition for professional and semi-professional singers. The instructors are all big stars, and they promise to give you promotion resources in the mainland."
The manager advised: "The market for Cantonese songs is getting smaller and smaller, and everyone is moving to the mainland. You are somewhat popular in Hong Kong, but not many people know about it in the mainland. This is a good opportunity, so you should go and have a try."
"Then I would be so embarrassed if I accidentally won the championship."
Deng Ziqi fiddled with the invitation and couldn't help but shrugged. She is only 20 years old, but she is extremely confident in her singing skills.
Speaking of which, after the decline of Hong Kong's film and music circles, Deng Ziqi was probably the last female singer exported to the mainland.
In fact, there are still many people who sing Cantonese songs, and they are also well-known in the Cantonese-speaking area, but fewer people listen to them in the mainland.
…………
Shanghai.
Bath water was put in the bathroom, but Huang Ling, a lunatic, did not take a bath. Instead, he sat on the edge of the bathtub, holding his guitar and singing, singing a few words and taking a sip of red wine.
"Come, be happy, there will be plenty of time anyway. Come, love, there will be plenty of foolishness anyway..."
She was singing so high that she threw the guitar away when she was so happy, threw it in the bathtub and laughed to herself, looking more and more like a lunatic.
In 2004, she won fourth place in the first "Super Girl". After signing the contract, Yu Jiajia didn't care much about her and just released albums and performed regularly.
Compared with Liu Xijun's popularity, Huang Ling seems to be very niche because she is so weird.
People are weird, and songs are even weirder.
Just like this song "Itch", was it sung by a human?
Tickle!
"Hello? Sister, what's going on?"
"Speak to me properly!"
The agent on the phone had a headache and asked, "What are you doing?"
"Sing, drink, take a bath!"
"The company has a singing competition, would you like to participate?"
"What kind of competition? Who am I competing with? I have my own style..."
"Stop being so pushy, come as you are told. This is a good opportunity!"
The agent hung up.
Huang Ling soaked herself in the bathtub and shook her head: "Relax, this is Relax's place, oh~"
