Chapter 671 The talent show 'The Voice of America'
There are no stars under Shengtang Company now, and those big-name stars will not sign contracts with them for the time being, so Ye Jinsheng is preparing to cultivate stars by himself. Charles Sibella is the first singer signed by Shengtang Company, and Liu Lang also sang a song for her
The song, the name of the song is "God Is A Girl", it was also a song that was popular all over the world in its previous life and has won numerous awards.
The lack of stars is a problem. Liu Lang has a large number of popular songs in his head. These songs require people with different characteristics to sing, so he discussed with Ye Jinsheng and prepared to copy the entertainment program "I Want to Be a Star" produced in Hong Kong Island and take the
Called "American Voices", it started a nationwide
There will be auditions for singers, and then they will be promoted step by step. If you become a state champion, you will get the guidance of a mentor, and then come to Los Angeles to participate in the finals. At that time, famous stars will be invited to serve as judges, and finally the overall champion, runner-up and finalists will be selected.
The third runner-up, these people can become signed singers of Shengtang Company.
This idea is similar to the current "America's Got Talent", but this show focuses on comedy, and everyone can participate. It is a model of universal participation, but it lacks something outstanding. The position of "The Voice" is to select singers, regardless of
Anyone who is an amateur or a professional can participate. As long as they can get the approval of the judges, they can advance to the next stage.
This kind of talent show only became popular in the United States in the mid-to-late 1990s. Now it is seven or eight years ahead of schedule. In addition, Shengtang Company is in the limelight, so it is inevitable that it will become a big hit.
Ye Jinsheng had already discussed a project with Los Angeles Today Entertainment Company a month ago. The other party was also very interested in the idea, so they hit it off immediately. Shengtang Company provided five million US dollars to be responsible for the planning, organization and talent selection of the project, while the other party was
Responsible for live broadcast and promotion, the budget of the first episode was as high as 7 million yuan, making it the most expensive talent show in the United States so far.
Of course, this plan has not been announced to the public, and all actions are being carried out secretly. For this reason, Ye Jinsheng also recruited a large number of people from Jingsheng Culture. Many of these people originally wanted to develop in the United States with Ye Jinsheng, but at that time
Ye Jinsheng can't even see his own future.
Tiring them? So I refused, but things are different now. The two songs are very popular, and they have sold millions of Hong Kong dollars on Hong Kong Island. Ye Jinsheng has made a strong move across the river, and his career has become bigger than before. All his old team members have
After running over, Shengtang Music expanded rapidly, and there was no problem in terms of manpower.
Another month passed in the blink of an eye. This month, Liu Lang had stopped a lot. He stayed in classes at Stanford University every day. Shengtang Company would call him if anything happened, but nothing happened. The "Voice of America" audition was about to begin.
Now, I advertise on Today Entertainment TV in Los Angeles every day. This program invites famous Hollywood songwriters. Of course, hiring these people costs money.
Shengtang Company has sent out ten draft teams, stationed in ten states respectively. These ten draft teams basically cover all fifty states in the United States. Anyone who wants to participate in the draft can sign up nearby. After passing the preliminary election,
Can become an official player.
Each team will have ten official players, a total of one hundred people. They will undergo intensive training under the leadership of their respective team captains. The training time will be one month. During this month, different teams will compete against each other.
Know yourself and your enemy and make improvements together.
In one month, the ten teams will go through a brutal elimination round. In another month, the one hundred players will become thirty, and the draft experience of the other seventy people will be over.
These thirty people will also go through a round of elimination rounds, and finally fifteen singers will be selected. They will all become signed artists of Shengtang Music, and these fifteen people will also compete in a finals at the Kodak Theater in Los Angeles.
The reward for the champion is that Shengtang Company will immediately customize a song for him.
The entire draft will take about three months, from July to October, and the entire process will be broadcast, allowing the audience to see the efforts and improvements of these players with their own eyes, which will make them feel involved and even empathize.
.
Liu Lang also proposed a new idea, that is, the audience can call to get popularity votes for their favorite stars. The person with the most popularity votes in each round can have some privileges. If this person is eliminated, the popularity votes can revive him.
If he becomes a player again and is not eliminated, he will receive a mysterious gift. As for the gift, it will be kept secret for the time being.
The most popular winner of the finals will also receive a contract from Shengtang Company and a tailor-made single.
Even in a country like the United States, where the entertainment industry is very developed, there was no such a large-scale talent show before 1987, so this is a brand-new program. In addition, the people participating in the talent show are ordinary people, which is very close to the public's aesthetics.
Like the Chinese people 20 or 30 years later, the American people have a desire for a career as a star. A free and unrestrained life coupled with a generous income. Who doesn't want to have such a life?
But stars are high in the eyes of ordinary people. It is almost impossible to enter this circle without connections or connections. Even if you have the ability, you have to climb up step by step. Didn't Michael Jackson start as a child star and spend a lot of time?
Did it take more than ten years for Americans to know about it?
And this kind of talent show is a shortcut. Everyone has the same opportunity. As long as you are really capable, you may stand out. Once you enter the finals, you will become a signed singer, and you will become a star in the next step.
It’s strange that a show that can give everyone hope is not popular.
Therefore, this program attracted the attention of all Americans as soon as it was launched. Los Angeles Today Entertainment TV will broadcast two episodes of the program every Saturday and Sunday, each episode is nearly two hours long.
It only took three weeks to become the entertainment program with the highest profitability in the United States. At its peak, the profitability reached a terrifying 12%. Such high ratings naturally caused those businesses to flock to it, and advertising fees also increased. Unexpectedly,
Within a month, most of the cost was recovered.
Liu Lang's parents were also fascinated by this show. It was not just planned by their son, but the most important thing is that this show is really good to watch! It's not that the rap songs are so good, the most attractive thing is that the contestants in the show show their true feelings.
moment, these contents are the guarantee of ratings.
The TV is showing the group of students in Kansas this week. There are ten people in total, some are male and female, some are black and some are white. The average age is about 21 years old. This group is very popular now because of one person.
