The richest person in Chinese entertainment

Chapter 214: Candidates for the Voice of China mentors
There is a big difference between the Facebook founded by Zhang Chen and the one founded by Zuckerberg.

Zuckerberg's Facebook focuses on "social networking among acquaintances" because it is spread among college students. Students do not have a lot of news worthy of the world's attention to publish, so Facebook determined to socialize among friends in its initial development stage.

The emergence of Twitter has established a new way of socializing outside of the social circle of acquaintances, namely "topic socializing", which focuses on hot events that people around you and even the whole world are paying attention to.

Zhang Chen no longer needs to separate the two functions.

In its early days, Morning Light Music was a platform that took both into account, allowing people to share music with friends and share different feelings about the same piece of music.

So the new Facebook has a "topic square" function and a "friend group" sharing function.

Just like the "Topic Plaza" that Zhang Chen is currently logged into, there are already many topics that are currently gaining attention:
[45th Grammy Awards list, Norah Jones' 8 out of 5 nominations questioned]

[Reject war! Innocent Iraqi civilians are suffering! ]

[I am a doctor from the World Health Organization. I found a US businessman infected with an infectious disease in Vietnam. I have reported this to the World Health Organization.]

Zhang Chen was flipping through the posts.

The first one is undoubtedly the topic that music lovers put forward.

The second point is an issue that the whole world is currently paying attention to. It has not been long since the anti-war marches of nearly 10 million people around the world, and this issue is still a hot topic among many people in the world.

Previously, they could only express their dissatisfaction through demonstrations.

Now that Facebook has a topic forum, these people have registered accounts and expressed their views on the war on the Internet.

As for the third article, some doctors made similar comments after seeing it, and talked about similar things that happened in their countries, but more people still did not take it seriously.

“William, you handle the rest of the matter, and try not to contact outsiders recently.”

The biggest event of 03 was about to happen, and Zhang Chen only wanted to go home to survive the disaster.

It's too dangerous to wander around outside now.

"Boss, what if someone wants to buy Facebook's shares recently?"

"Delay, just use this as an excuse to delay this incident until it's over."

Although Facebook has only been launched for a short time, it is bound to attract the attention of many people in the United States, and their entry into the market is inevitable.

But Zhang Chen just wanted to delay. The longer he delayed, the faster the company's valuation would inflate.

Moreover, using this global event as an excuse is reasonable and well-founded.

Once this incident is over, netizens who are stuck at home and forced to surf the Internet will be able to further expand Facebook's influence, which will lead to an increase in its valuation.

This way, the shares can be sold at a good price.

On March 3, Zhang Chen brought his team back to the capital of China and hid peacefully in Zhang's house.

Before leaving the United States, he made a special visit to Madonna and called several friends in the circle in the United States.

It was also on this day that netizens around the world discovered that Madonna had joined Facebook!
Madonna: Hi! My dear fans, Leon said that here I can communicate with you face to face online, and show you my breakfast [Picture]

Will Smith: My new movie "Bad Boys 2" will be released in July. I look forward to seeing you all in the cinema!
Linkin Park: When will Lyon have another concert? Do we need a band? Hahahaha

Avril: @Leon, don't forget my song.

Facebook was originally a user group based on music lovers from all over the world, and now with the joining of singers, these fans can experience the joy of close contact with their idols.

This trend quickly spread to the entire entertainment industry with the entry of Madonna and others.

I believe that in the near future, we will be able to see more celebrities from all over the world sharing their lives on Facebook.

It is a free publicity channel and can also help them maintain their own fan base. It would be unreasonable if they chose to ignore it.

The only concern is probably the agency behind them, which is considering whether to ask Facebook for an entry fee using their own big stars.

"Xiao Xue, how is the preparation for The Voice going?"

Zhang Chen didn't go to the company because they were moving.

A 135-meter-high business building has been built on the land purchased a few years ago, which will soon become the headquarters building of the "Morning Light Group".

"Currently, each region has selected about 30 candidates, and the final auditions will be held next month. The situation in the United States is similar."

"What about the mentor lineup? Has it been confirmed?"

The lineup of mentors is the key to this show.

It is too difficult to rely on a group of amateurs to attract targets and sponsors in the early stages of a program.

Only a strong group of mentors can attract a large number of fans to watch the show in the early stages of the program, and allow major businesses to see the huge prospects of this program.

"We have initially shortlisted a group of singers who are available in July and August, but the final list still needs to be confirmed by you."

After Xue Yining finished speaking, she handed over a list.

Zhang Chen took it and looked at it. The first part was the domestic part:
Zhang Xueyou

Zhang Guorong

princess
Liu Dehua

刘焕
那鹰
田振
孙南
Luo Dayou

Li Zongsheng

This list basically covers the top singers in the current Chinese music scene. Although Jay Chou, Jolin Tsai, and Sun Yanzi may have reached the level of fame, they are still a little behind the old singers in terms of status and recognition. Although it will only take a few years for the new generation to surpass the old singers, a little difference is still a little difference. Chenguang Entertainment does not want to use new singers as mentors. Only singers of the old generation can convince the audience.

"Leslie, are you sure he has time?"

Zhang Chen stared at the name. In another month,
"His psychiatrist advised him not to stay at home alone, so his agent really wanted him to come to our show. Communicating more with the younger generation will help treat his depression."

"What about your throat?"

"I have been recuperating for a while. As long as I don't do high-intensity training, there will be no problem with normal speaking and singing."

Zhang Chen hesitated when he heard this.

If he jumps from the list that has just been confirmed, the show will definitely be greatly affected.

But if he joins, the show will attract wider attention throughout Southeast Asia.

So, this is a gamble that only Zhang Chen knows about.

He still needs to consider this carefully.

After putting his thoughts aside, he looked at the list of mentor candidates from the United States.

There is also a more powerful list:

Madonna

Michael Jackson

Celine Dion
Whitney Houston
britney

Will Smith

"Are you sure Michael is free?"

Zhang Chen was fine when he looked at the previous domestic list, but when he saw the European and American list, he clearly felt like his wallet was emptied.

Take Michael Jackson for example, his appearance fee for a single concert was as high as 450 million US dollars. If you want to invite him to host a show, you don’t know how much it would cost.

Let's look at others, Madonna, the contemporary world pop music queen, Celine Dion, the British Hall of Fame singer. She and Whitney Houston were later praised as two of the three best European and American singers. The other one is the ceiling of singing skills, Beyonce, has now gone solo from "Destiny's Child" and started her personal development.

Britney has basically established her status as a new pop queen since 99.

Will Smith, just to make up the numbers.

"Michael has just come out of a controversy over a documentary by British journalist Basher early last month, and his team is hoping he can participate in some events that will help his image."

"That's it"

Zhang Chen flipped through his memories. This was also a star with great reputation, and a world superstar with a huge fan base all over the world.

But at the beginning of this year, a documentary pushed him to the forefront and his reputation suffered a huge impact.

If we can say that it can be pulled onto the chariot of "The Voice of China" this time, it can only be said to be a mixed bag of good and bad.

This is another big gamble.

"Let me think about it. Let's first confirm the schedules for the princess, Madonna, and Xidi. I'll confirm the schedules for the others in the middle of this month."

Zhang Chen did not issue it either, he needed to consider all aspects.

First of all, in the Chinese music scene, it would be best for "The Voice of China" to select one mentor each from the Chinese-speaking regions such as the Mainland, Hong Kong Island, Taiwan, and Singapore.

This is the only way to capture the largest audience group in the Chinese-speaking regions.

As for the European and American music scene, factors such as the gender ratio and skin color must also be considered.

This is not something that can be decided simply by thinking about it.

"By the way, how are Xixi and the others doing in Ying Country?"

After finishing his work, Zhang Chen suddenly remembered that Liu Yifei's family was in Yingguo at that time.

"It should be okay, right?"

Xue Yining didn't know how to comment on this matter.

In fact, she was also very clear about her boss's intentions, but after all, they were a divorced couple who had been living separately for such a long time.

For An Shaokang and Liu Xiaoli, the only connection between them is their daughter Liu Yifei.

But if you want to get them together again, you will still encounter various difficulties.

Otherwise, the two of them wouldn't have gotten to the point of divorce.

It is precisely because the two have huge differences in their views, and Liu Xiaoli has embarked on the path that An Shaokang least wants to see, that has added a lot of obstacles to this reunion.

No normal man wants to see his wife being affectionate with another man on the screen.

However, Liu Xiaoli has played many roles with emotional scenes in recent years.

　Guess who will be on The Voice?

　　Let’s not talk about the mentors, there are many singers who debuted during this period.
