Since reality talent shows became popular, various domestic TV stations have launched many talent shows in recent years. Some have been hugely successful, while others have had little impact. The situation can be described as a world of ice and fire.
In addition to the production level and creative conception of the program itself, the guest judges and mentors are also important factors that have a direct impact on the ratings. The bigger the celebrities, the more ratings they can increase.
The creativity of "The Voice of China" is excellent enough, and there are no problems in production and broadcasting. The choice of mentor has become one of the keys to the success or failure of the program, so Tian Tian attaches great importance to it.
But Filia Chen was puzzled: "Didn't I ask you to contact Brother Tan?"
The Brother Tan that Filia Chen is talking about is of course Tan Hong. With Tan Hong's status in the industry, he is definitely qualified.
Tian Tian was discouraged: "I went to Beijing to meet Teacher Tan, but Teacher Tan doesn't want to participate in variety shows anymore."
Originally, Tan Hong didn't really like to participate in variety shows. The last time he served as a judge for "Singing China", it was entirely due to human relationships. Now he is basically in a state of retirement. It is normal for Tian Tian to be declined.
"Ah, then..."
Filia Chen also encountered difficulties. It is true that she has a wide network of contacts in the industry, but it is not easy to invite a real big shot - if the schedule is not full, how can she be called a big shot?
Coffee?
She blamed Tian Tian: "You didn't tell me earlier!"
Tian Tian had a reason: "I don't want to bother you, a busy person, every time. I really can't help it this time."
She is a strong person. When encountering difficulties, she first thinks of solving the problem herself instead of asking for help from others.
It's just that this trouble is a bit big.
Tian Tian comes from a well-off family and has her own network of contacts in the industry, but if she wants to invite a big shot to join a talent show produced by her company, she really doesn't have enough weight.
After hitting the wall several times, Tian Tian reluctantly gave up and could only turn back to Filia Chen for help.
Lu Chen thought for a while and said, "Let me give it a try."
Filia Chen asked curiously: "Who do you want to find?"
Lu Chen replied: "Brother Liu Gangsheng."
"ah!"
With a scream, the driving BMW swayed violently and almost hit the guardrail next to it.
Caught off guard, Lu Chen and Filia Chen both broke into cold sweats.
Tian Tian, who was driving, hurriedly regained control of the steering wheel and asked hurriedly: "Is it really Liu Gangsheng?"
Lu Chen took a long breath and said angrily: "Drive your car carefully, it will kill people!"
If there had been a car accident just now, tomorrow's headlines would be between him and Filia Chen - we can save headlines like this, whoever wants them can take them!
Tian Tian stuck out her tongue, slowed down the car, and said with a guilty conscience: "Who asked you to suddenly make such a big news? I am a fan of Liu Gangsheng. If I can really invite him here..."
If Liu Gangsheng can be invited to be a judge, then there is no need to worry about the ratings of "The Voice of China" because this Hong Kong superstar has never appeared in any domestic talent show.
It will definitely cause a sensation!
"Don't think about it!"
Lu Chen interrupted her sweet dream unceremoniously: "Brother from Hong Kong will definitely not be able to come. I want to ask him to help me find out if I can invite a powerful senior from Xiangjiang to participate."
Of the four mentors of "The Voice of China", he and Filia Chen already occupy two seats each. It is undoubtedly more appropriate to invite a Hong Kong singer to come there - the status of Hong Kong pop music in the Chinese music scene is irreplaceable.
"oh..."
Tian Tian closed her mouth a little aggrievedly.
Filia Chen couldn't bear it, and pushed Lu Chen, who didn't know how to pity her, and said, "Then please contact the eldest brother of Hong Kong students."
Lu Chen nodded, took out his cell phone and called Liu Gangsheng.
He contacted the other party's private number, and only the phone number in the address book could be reached.
After a while, the phone was connected, and Liu Gangsheng's unique voice came from the receiver: "Lu Chen?"
"Hello, Hong Kong student brother..."
Lu Chen quickly greeted him, exchanged a few words with the superstar, and then explained his purpose of coming.
Tian Tian had some resentment in her heart after being scolded by Lu Chen just now, but when she heard Lu Chen talking to Liu Gangsheng on the phone, she couldn't help but pricked up her ears, looking very itchy.
Lu Chen chatted with Liu Gangsheng for a few minutes and then ended the conversation. Filia Chen asked: "What did he say?"
This is also the issue Tian Tian is most concerned about.
Liu Gangsheng can't have any extravagant expectations. It would be great to invite a big name from the Hong Kong pop music scene.
Lu Chen said: "Brother Hong Kong students are willing to help. Let me wait for the news. It should be soon."
Filia Chen smiled and said: "That's OK."
If Liu Gangsheng comes forward, basically no one in the Hong Kong entertainment circle will refuse to give him face, unless he really can't spare the time or schedule to come to the mainland to participate in programs.
This superstar is also an enthusiastic person and is very efficient after agreeing to help. As soon as Tian Tian's car was in the parking lot downstairs of her company, the call came back to Lu Chen's mobile phone.
"Yeah, thank you, Brother Sheng, thank you so much!"
After ending the call again, Lu Chen looked a little strange.
Filia Chen asked with concern: "What's wrong? Is there any trouble?"
Lu Chen shook his head and said, "Brother Hong Kong student has hired a tutor for us."
Tian Tian finally couldn't help it anymore: "Who is it?"
Lu Chen smiled and said, "Guess what?"
Filia Chen rolled her eyes at him angrily and said angrily: "How could we have guessed that!"
Popular music in Hong Kong once had an extremely glorious period. At that time, a large number of outstanding singers emerged, and at least dozens of them were well-known by mainland fans.
Lu Chen didn't whet his appetite anymore and revealed the answer directly: "It's Sister Shi Fang!"
"ah!?"
This time Filia Chen and Tian Tian exclaimed together, luckily they were not driving.
Filia Chen was surprised, Tian Tian was surprised!
They never dreamed that Liu Gangsheng would invite Shi Fang.
Shi Fang's status in Hong Kong's pop music scene is no less than that of Liu Gangsheng. She is also a pop diva who is well-known to mainland fans. She has held two concert tours in the mainland and has great influence.
Although Shi Fang temporarily left the music scene due to illness a few years ago, her reputation and popularity are still there, and she still has a large number of fans who like her.
"The Voice of China" can invite this person as a mentor and save millions in promotional expenses!
Tian Tian was simply overjoyed: "That's really great, I want to revise the publicity plan!"
Lu Chen, Filia Chen, and Shi Fang, it's not as simple as 1+1+1=3. Quantitative changes lead to qualitative changes!
But there is still a question: "Who should I hire as the last mentor?"
Tian Tian blinked her eyes, her anticipation for Lu Chen was overwhelming.
