Who are you calling "little fresh meat"? I'm the king.

Chapter 234 Discussion (4/4)

For mature variety show planners, one idea is enough to spawn a variety show!

For example: On "The Voice of China," the mentors have their backs to the contestants, and only use their voices to tell them whether to turn around...

Well, "I Am a Singer" is actually a competition between famous singers who compete in singing skills...

Long Danny listened carefully to Shen Yan's thoughts on "I Am a Singer":

"Each episode features seven singers competing on the same stage. The rankings are determined by 7 live audience votes. The final tally of the two performances is combined, and the singer with the lowest ranking is eliminated..."

"Eliminated? That show..."

"In the next episode, a new singer will be added, and the eliminated singers can participate in the revival competition..."

"Resurrection match?"

"Yes, there are 14 rounds in total... The six eliminated singers will participate in the 13th round of the resurrection competition. Only one singer can be successfully resurrected and advance to the finals."

“How cruel!”

"Competitive shows are all about cruelty. If it's not cruel, what's the point?"

Long Danny hesitated: "But if we really do that, I guess not many big names will be willing to come..."

“…Actually, there are many outdated singers, forgotten or unrecognized good singers. You can invite them and give them a chance to show themselves!”

"But if we don't invite successful singers, the audience won't like it!"

Shen Yan waved his hand: "That's your business... Anyway, I'm just making a suggestion!"

This is the truth!
A successful singer can clearly rest on his laurels, so why would he want to compete and be criticized by the public? If he doesn't rank well, wouldn't that be lowering his status?
It was difficult to invite celebrities to "I Am a Singer" at the beginning, especially well-known and influential celebrities.

The entertainment industry is all about seniority!
Therefore, Shen Yan definitely cannot do it.

This is only possible with the support of a TV station, and a strong TV station!
Long Danny...didn't leave, but called Hong Tao...

I guess they are discussing who to find to support the show!

Since it’s called “I Am a Singer”, the key lies in the invited guests…

It must be a big name that needs to support the scene!

In the original time and space, the best season was actually the second season, because Wei Wei was directly eliminated.

……

On the set of "The Call," it was lunchtime, and the actors gathered together to eat their boxed lunches...

The quality of the lunch boxes this time is really great!

A lot of fruit...

Carambola, mangosteen, guava, rambutan, wax apple, etc…

There are too many, and there are several kinds that Shen Yan has never eaten!

Shi Shi and Yang Mi found Shen Yan and saw Long Danny who was on the phone. They asked, "Who is she?"

"Long Danny..."

"What are you here for?"

Yang Mi interrupted: "Do you want to invest in a movie together?"

Shi Shi retorted: "Long Danny is in a talent show, how could he possibly make a movie?"

Yang Mi waved her hand. "But I heard Shanda and Hunan TV have become a film and television company...Long Danny is the general manager!"

"Is this true?"

"Yes," Shen Yan nodded, "Shanda Literature wants to enter the film and television production industry..."

Shanda Literature was one of the first companies in the Chinese entertainment industry to try to operate IP...

Proposed to develop "Ghost Blows Out the Light" and found Du Qifeng...

As well as the new version of "My Fair Princess" and the movie "The Legend of Zhen Huan"... they were eventually aborted due to various reasons.

Chen Tianqiao is also a pioneer in the layout of the entire entertainment industry chain!
According to reports at the time: it has games at the top, literature in the middle, music and film and television at the bottom, and an operating platform, Shanda Network, which takes both content and platform into consideration. It is difficult to find a second entertainment company in China with such a complete layout!
But the environment is not suitable!
At that time, the literature, music and film industries were plagued by piracy and it was difficult for them to achieve great success.

So, it failed in the end!
"So she asked you to talk about movies?"

"No," Shen Yan shook his head. "... she was talking to me about variety show planning! I previously suggested on Weibo that we make a show where famous singers compete with each other, and she thought it was a good idea... so she came to ask for my specific opinion..."

Yang Mi was surprised: "You also know about variety show planning?"

"Besides giving birth, I know everything... People nicknamed me, 'Know-it-all'!"

Yang Mi was very unhappy: "What a stinker!"

"Then tell me what I don't understand!"

“…you…you…”

After a long time of talking, Yang Mi still couldn't explain it clearly...

"Okay, you two take a break. I'll go talk to Long Danny for a while."

As he spoke, Shen Yan walked towards Long Danny, who had already come over... He first greeted Shi Shi and Yang Mi, then said to Shen Yan: "Hong Tao will be here soon, we'll talk tonight!"

……

Long Danny really has nothing to say about Mango TV!
She had already been transferred to the satellite TV station, and it was like a fish in water...

Then, Xia Qing's husband Wang Peng was not in a good position to manage Tianyu, so Long Danny quickly took over Tianyu and became the general manager!
Less than a year later, Shanda's Chen Tianqiao invited her to be the CEO of Huayou Music, hoping to create a music giant...

Finally, under the persuasion of the top management, Long Danny chose to stay...

However, Shanda still formed a film and television company with Hunan Satellite TV, called Shanda Pictures... The company was established for more than two years, but it only produced a movie called "Let's Date" with a box office of 500 million. The screenwriter of that movie was Guo Jingming!
As for Hong Tao...

He is a music fanatic.

I once wanted to be a singer and even performed in a bar.

He was originally a technician at Zhuzhou Radio Factory No. 30, with a monthly salary of 300 yuan. Except for food and drink, he used all the money to buy tapes, a total of tapes.

In 91, when he joined Hunan Economic Radio Channel, he was holding a large box of tapes and had more pop music materials than the radio station.

He worked on the "Golden Songs Chart" at Hujing Radio for 7 years, and then joined Hunan Satellite TV, where he was responsible for the "Music Continuous Fan Club".

After that, he had to be present at all music-related programs such as "Super Girl", "Fast Boy", and "Challenge the Microphone".

Because he knows a lot of famous and unknown singers.

The most typical example is Chen Chusheng - Chen Chusheng was not interested in Super Boy at first, but Hong Tao persuaded him to participate, and then Chen Chusheng signed up for the Xi'an track.

It’s the same now when I’m on “Singer”!
After arriving at the set of "The Call," I chatted with Long Danny for a while, then said, "I think Han Hong, Liu Huan, Sun Nan... Yang Kun are all good enough to rock the show!"

“…People may not be willing to come.”

"I'll find a way..." Hong Tao looked at Shen Yan; "What do you think, Xiao Shen?"

"...I think we should start with the high notes. We could invite Lin Zhixuan. In his early years, he often performed high notes on TV shows with Zhang Yusen and Zhao Chuan... Hong Kong's Lin Zixiang, Ye Qianwen, and even Hacken Lee could also be invited. Then we could invite a few talent shows, such as Tan Weiwei and Zhang Liangying... and maybe Gong Lingna, Tan Jing, or even Teacher Tengger!"

Long Danny was surprised: "Tengger?"

“…If you’ve ever heard Mr. Tengger sing live, you’ll be absolutely moved to tears!”

Hong Tao nodded: "Yes, I heard Tengger sing "Paradise" live... It was really shocking!"

"Okay, I'll go back and plan it!"

Shen Yan reminded: "The audio and video equipment and live band must be top-notch..."

“…Don’t worry about that…”

Hong Tao remembered something and asked, "Will you participate?"

"Well, record once a week. I have time!"
