This winter is the winter of Azure Star, and it is also the cold winter of China’s entertainment industry. It is like a pool of ice spring, lifeless.
In this environment, some companies strive to make progress while maintaining stability and choose to rest and recuperate.
Some companies also choose to take desperate risks to gain a big opportunity.
But so far, no film, television drama or variety show can break the ice.
However, whether it is Blue Sky TV or Yihe Film and Television Entertainment, they have unanimously chosen to broadcast the program this winter, marking a perfect end to this year.
Cooperation is naturally very positive if the heart desires it.
Both parties will contribute money when they need to, and efforts when they need to do so. There is no ambiguity at all.
Yu Hongzhang, deputy director of Blue Sky TV, is very concerned about this program and requires everyone at the station to fully cooperate with Yihe Film and Television Entertainment.
Because Yu Hongzhang firmly believes that this show "The Voice of China" will change the decline of TV stations, ignite a fire in this cold winter, melt the cold winter in the entertainment industry, and reverse the current situation of Blue Sky TV.
Therefore, the preparation for "The Voice of China" was very fast. In less than a week, all the preliminary preparations were completed and auditions began.
Due to the tight time schedule, it is obviously impossible for the program team to spend several months traveling to auditions across the country like in the previous life.
In the end, the two parties discussed and decided to accept registration directly online, conduct preliminary screening through the contestants' self-made demos, and then go to Azure TV Station for program recording.
Although this approach reduced the popularity of the program a lot in the early stage, it also shortened the preparation time for the program and allowed it to be recorded and broadcast within the specified time.
Of course, singers like Yihe Film and Television Entertainment can enter the recording stage directly without having to participate in the first round of auditions.
This is what is called resources in the entertainment industry. Artists with resources can often seize the opportunity first.
I can't say it's a shady thing, it's the same in all walks of life.
However, all singers under Yihe Film and Television Entertainment have participated in the recording of the program. If word spreads, it will still attract some criticism.
But this is what Jiangbei wants to see.
The program does not seek to be popular or make money, it only hopes to blackmail his wife.
This kind of operation is really rare in the entertainment industry.
While the program team was conducting intense auditions, Blue Sky TV and Yihe were also warming up for this music program.
First, Blue Sky TV began to insert advertisements related to "The Voice of China" during prime advertising time.
Immediately afterwards, they teamed up with Yihe Film and Television Entertainment to officially launch the "Great Voice of China, the best mentor in your mind." campaign on Weibo to attract the attention of netizens.
It’s just that the official blogs of Yihe and Blue Sky TV have too few fans, so no one paid attention to the event at all.
There are also very few comments under the official blog.
"The Voice of China? Is it another music program?"
"Blue Sky TV has really been imitating and has never innovated."
"As a native of Weilan City, I am deeply disappointed with the TV station in our hometown."
"Even if I want to imitate you, I have to do it early, right? There have been so many music programs in the past two years, are you asking for your own death now?"
"Indeed, I have only watched "The Stars Are Still" among the music programs in the past two years, and I have not watched any other music programs."
Some of the comments include those who are disappointed, but also those who are interested.
"But what is this mentor? A player?"
"Probably not..."
"Aren't there detailed rules above? There are four mentors in the program. Each group of mentors will select students based on their own judgment. Then the four mentors will lead their students to compete against each other to determine the final championship."
"Does that mean the mentor is equivalent to the player's teacher?"
"This is a bit interesting. The instructor doesn't sing himself, but teaches the students to sing and then PKs the students under other instructors."
"It's quite new, but it should test the instructor's musical ability, right?"
"That's for sure. I'm sure the status of the four mentors will not be low."
"How can it be so easy to hire a high-ranking celebrity? Blue Sky TV is willing to spend money to hire a superstar mentor?"
"How about everyone becoming the king and queen of top-tier singers in China? Let's see how Blue Sky TV ends."
"Yes, yes, it makes sense. I like the ones who do bad things the most."
Out of interest in the program "The Voice of China" and disappointment in Blue Sky TV, netizens began to go crazy about superstars in the entertainment industry.
Anyway, for netizens, it would be very interesting if the show could invite stars of the king and queen level to participate.
As for how much it costs to hire a star of this level, it has nothing to do with the majority of netizens.
As a result, a topic called "The Best Mentor in Your Mind" emerged on Weibo and became popular.
It's a bit unexpected, but it's a good thing for "The Voice" because more people know about this show.
When Blue Sky TV saw the show becoming popular on Weibo, it immediately decided to free up prime time advertising space to promote "The Voice".
Unfortunately, the ratings of TV stations are too low, and the popularity brought by advertisements is only a handful, far less than the popularity of the topic "The Best Mentor in Your Mind" that is becoming more and more popular on Weibo.
This made Yu Hongzhang not only happy but also a little sighing.
"Why don't our TV stations have such talents..."
Li Shushu, who was opposite, smiled and did not answer.
In fact, he wanted to say that not only the promotional copy, but also the entire program was created by the boss.
But I can't say this because my boss has made it clear that he is not allowed to disclose it to anyone.
And as early as the day the boss acquired Yihe Film and Television Entertainment, he signed a confidentiality agreement with him, and he couldn't tell anyone.
But Li Shushu admires his boss from the bottom of his heart.
Not only is she good-looking and talented, but most importantly, she is a seed of infatuation.
In today's society, this is simply a peerless good man.
"Has the instructor already decided on someone?" Yu Hongzhang just sighed, recovered quickly, and asked.
In fact, he does not need to participate in these, but he really attaches too much importance to this program, so he pays attention to many things.
Li Shushu glanced at the side. He was the chief director of this show and the only director under Yihe.
Wan Lei.
Wan Xian received the signal and replied: "At present, six mentors have been initially selected, and the program team is contacting them one by one. Three of them have already agreed to participate in the recording of The Voice. They are the Chinese singer Luo Ying, the rock emperor Wang Hengyuan and us.
The company’s artist Li Youqing.”
Yu Hongzhang frowned when he heard this, and thought: "Luo Ying had an incident of beating someone some time ago, wouldn't it have any impact?"
"It's okay. Even if it does, it won't affect our program. After all, Luo Ying is still worthy of recognition professionally." Li Shushu continued.
His idea was the same as Yu Hongzhang's at first, but these instructors were created by the boss, and they had to keep their opinions.
Yu Hongzhang thought for a while, but did not continue to dwell on this issue, and asked: "It's almost January, when can the program start recording?"
Whether we can hand in a perfect answer sheet by the end of this year depends on whether "The Voice of China" can be broadcast.
Li Shushuang looked at Wan Xian again.
Wan Xian received the signal and replied honestly: "At present, the online audition has ended. The students who passed the audition will rush to Weilan City within a week. If the last instructor is confirmed, the process can start as soon as a week later.
Recording."
Today is December 24th, and one week later it will be January 1st.
"Does the program support recording and broadcasting at the same time?" Yu Hongzhang asked Zhang Xian.
Zhang Xian glanced at Li Shushu after hearing this.
Li Shushu said helplessly: "Why do you always look at me! You are the chief director!"
Zhang Xian then turned around and said, "It's not difficult."
Programs are not as elaborate as filming movies and TV dramas, and post-production is relatively simple, so post-production can be completed within a few days after recording a program.
And we can know from the program planning that this program is divided into three stages.
The first is the blind selection stage, with a total of six issues produced.
The six sessions will definitely not be recorded in one session, but will end in one or two recording sessions.
It takes a month and a half to air each of the six blind auditions, which is enough time for the program to be recorded until the finals.
"There is a program that will end at 10pm on the 31st. If possible, I would like to schedule The Voice for January 7th." Yu Hongzhang expressed his thoughts.
The 7th is Saturday, which is prime time, and ten o'clock in the evening is prime time.
Yu Hongzhang arranged "The Voice" to be broadcast in prime time, obviously he is very optimistic about this program.
"no problem."
With the help of prime time, it undoubtedly adds a lot of exposure to the program, which is a good thing.
"Okay, everyone, please hurry up. The TV station here will contact advertisers for bidding. You are responsible for preparing for the recording as soon as possible. The program must be broadcast on the 7th."
Yu Hongzhang made the final summary, and the meeting was finally over.
But when Li Shushu accompanied him to leave the conference room, Yu Hongzhang still couldn't help but asked quietly: "Old Li... I don't have any objections to your company's artists, but this Li Youqing is not a singer, he is a professional.
She also lacks knowledge, so wouldn’t it be a little inappropriate to let her be a mentor?”
The program is very good.
He can tolerate Yihe cramming all his artists into the program.
But sending an artist who is not even a singer as a mentor is a bit too much, right?
Li Shushu coughed lightly and replied: "Director, Li Youqing has sung the hippo theme song."
Yu Hongzhang pouted and said, "My daughter can also sing."
Li Shushu touched his nose, glanced around, and lowered his voice: "To be honest, no one can participate in this show, but Li Youqing must participate."
Yu Hongzhang frowned, the mentality of a superior made him very dissatisfied with this sentence.
What's the meaning?
Is she, Li Youqing, so naughty?
Wouldn’t the show be able to continue without her?
"This program is planning to name Li Youqing as a mentor. If Li Youqing can't be on, he will take back the copyright."
"Oh... that's okay. Actually, if you think about it, it's quite boring to hire a professional tutor. This will actually bring some topicality."
"Yes, yes, that's what I mean, the director is wise."
"Well, my daughter seems to have also gone to participate in The Voice."
"Director, I understand. We must let her reach the semi-finals at least."
"No, no, no, we can't engage in shady activities. We must ensure that the program is fair and impartial. Moreover, my daughter graduated from a professional music school and has the ability to enter."
