Hearing Song Mingen's proposal, Chen Zhe was very interested, after all, he now has two goals - one is to make a breakthrough in his career and be promoted from an eighteenth-tier artist to a fourth-tier star as soon as possible, and the other is to urgently need to gain popularity and earn enough savings to develop human evolution reagents.

Being able to participate in another variety show is very important for Chen Zhe, so he smiled and asked, "Mingen, this Uncle Fan you are talking about...... Who is he?"

Song Mingen introduced with a smile: "Oh, Uncle Fan, he is my grandfather's protégé, he used to start as an Internet business, and now he mainly runs an entertainment company." ”

Song Mingyuan introduced it more specifically: "Uncle Fan's name is Fan Kuan, and the entertainment company he runs is called Star Entertainment, since Mr. Chen is a star, he should have heard of it, right?"

When Chen Zhe heard this, he couldn't help but say secretly: "Disrespectful." ”

"This Uncle Fan turned out to be the famous Fan Kuan......"

Chen Zhe said with a smile.

Fan Kuan and his Star Entertainment are a very famous entertainment company in the world, this company rose three years ago, and in just three years, it swept most of the entertainment industry with a spark.

At first, Fan Kuan was in contact with the Internet industry, and later began to devote himself to the filming of online dramas, speaking of Ouyang Meixi's debut work "Soulless Taoist", which is Fan Kuan's starry entertainment.

Unexpectedly, Fan Kuan, who tasted the sweetness of online dramas, was ambitious, and began to develop into variety shows again, and as soon as he made a move, he set his sights on the large-scale music competition variety show with the most influence in China - "We Are Singers", and he was bound to benchmark against them.

"So, Mr. Fan Kuan is currently working on creating a music competition variety show?" asked Chen Zhe curiously.

"Yes, I remember the last time we met, he said that. Song Mingen said.

After that, Song Mingen hurriedly helped Chen Zhe matchmaking: "Mr. Chen, if you are willing to cooperate with Uncle Fan, I think there will be sparks between you." ”

Song Mingyuan also agreed: "With Mr. Chen's strength and Uncle Fan's platform, you can definitely create a variety show that surpasses "We Are Singers"!"

The old man Song next to him was very happy, and when he clapped the decision, he said: "It's better like this, I'll go and call Xiaofan now to arrange this matter." ”

Chen Zhe didn't refuse, and immediately said with a smile: "Then it's troublesome for Mr. Song." ”

The old man smiled: "My life was given by Mr. Chen, what is this trivial matter?"

......

After the matchmaking on Mr. Song's side, Chen Zhe received a call from Fan Kuan that night.

Just as he was sitting in the study to update today's serialization of "Fighting the Universe", his mobile phone suddenly rang.

"Hey, hello. Chen Zhe saw that it was an unfamiliar number and guessed that it was probably Fan Kuan, so he asked politely.

A deep and polite male voice immediately came over the phone.

"May I ask if it's Mr. Chen Zhechen? I'm Fan Kuan, Mr. Song's protégé......

Chen Zhe said "sure enough", smiled lightly, and said: "Hello Mr. Fan, don't be so polite, just call me Chen Zhe." ”

However, Fan Kuan hurriedly smiled: "That's not good, Mr. Chen is Mr. Song's benefactor, that is equivalent to my benefactor, this Mr. Chen is definitely going to call." ”

Chen Zhe listened to Fan Kuan's persistence, so he didn't get too entangled in the title, but Fan Kuan is the leader of an entertainment company, even if a first-line superstar meets him, he has to curry favor, and he is so polite to Chen Zhe, an eighteenth-tier artist, it is surprising to say it.

At this time, Fan Kuan said: "Mr. Chen, in fact, I paid attention to your talent when you participated in "Wilderness Survival", "Dispel Sorrow" and "The Brightest Star in the Night Sky" I think are the best songs that have been born in the past five years, both the melody and the lyrics have reached a peak level......

In addition, Mr. Chen, your singing skills are also very good, which I realized as early as "Survival in the Wilderness".

Later, you won the championship four times in a row on the stage of "We Are Singers", which proved my judgment. But it's a pity that the shady scenes behind the stage of "We Are Singers" are too serious, and you will inevitably be affected......"

Chen Zhe smiled lightly, not showing regret or indignation.

He asked calmly, "It seems that Mr. Song told you what happened behind the scenes?"

"No, you misunderstood, Mr. Song didn't say anything. Fan Kuan clarified, "Old Man Song just asked me to contact you, and he didn't explain the reason behind it. As for your withdrawal, I found out about it myself, and I have some friends in the team of "We Are Singers", so I know more about it. ”

Hearing this, Chen Zhe couldn't help but secretly admire Fan Kuan's wrist.

The "We Are Singers" team is currently the most professional team in the industry, but even so, Fan Kuan can actually insert eyeliner in it, and it is not an exaggeration to call this method "hands and eyes to the sky".

Sure enough, Fan Kuan planned to benchmark with "We Are Singers", and the preliminary work was also done very well.

After the exclamation, Chen Zhe didn't show it, but said lightly: "Fan is always a good means." ”

"Thank you for the compliment. Fan Kuan smiled and said, "Actually, Mr. Chen, even if there is no recommendation from Mr. Song, I am interested in contacting you, not only you, but also Shu Qian, who also withdrew from the competition in the "We Are Singers" program......

Because you and Shu Qian are both one of the few powerful singers in the Chinese music scene at present, being able to win over the two of you is a very powerful boost for our programs that have not yet been recorded. ”

Chen Zhe said: "At present, I can only promise you that I will participate in this show, but Shu Qian, I can try to get in touch." ”

"That would be great. Fan Kuan said, "I don't know if Mr. Chen will have time tomorrow? If you have time, I will visit you in person tomorrow, and we will meet and talk, I don't know if it's okay?"

"No problem. Chen Zhe smiled, "Then we'll see you tomorrow." ”

......

At ten o'clock in the morning of the next day, Fan Kuan appeared at the door of Chen Zhe's house as promised.

Because he has seen Fan Kuan on the news, reports, and TV many times, Chen Zhe is already very familiar with the face of this starry entertainment boss.

And Fan Kuan has also seen Chen Zhe many times on the stage of "Wilderness Survival" and "We Are Singers", so the two of them are not particularly strangers after meeting.

"Mr. Chen looks more energetic than on TV...... Fan Kuan said as soon as they met.

"Mr. Fan too, he looks a lot younger. Chen Zhe responded politely.

Yan'er hurriedly and thoughtfully brought a cup of tea to Fan Kuan, Fan Kuan saw that Chen Zhe's home was still "harboring" a beautiful woman, he was stunned for a moment, and then immediately recognized her, and said with a smile: "Isn't this Yan'er?"

Yan'er was a little surprised, and said shyly: "Mr. Fan still knows me?"

"Of course, Chen Zhe's partner in "Wilderness Survival", how could he not know you?" Fan Kuan said with a smile.

However, seeing Chen Zhe and Yan'er living together, the corners of Fan Kuan's mouth immediately flashed with a smile, and asked, "You two are ...... now?"

Yan'er's face turned red, and she gently pushed Chen Zhe, meaning to let Chen Zhe explain.

Chen Zhe hurriedly said: "Oh, that's the case, the two of us have been neighbors before, and then I bought a house, and a girl in Yan'er got a big bonus, and I was worried that it would be dangerous for her to live alone, so I asked her to move in with me." ”

"I see...... I'm sorry I misunderstood. Fan Kuan said with a smile.

Chen Zhe smiled, and Yan'er also smiled and shook her head, "It's okay." ”

When he came to the living room and sat down, Chen Zhe asked straight to the point: "I heard that Mr. Fan is now planning to create a variety show that is benchmarked against "We Are Singers", right?"

"That's true. Fan Kuan nodded and said, "As you know, our Star Mutual Entertainment started with animation and online dramas, and now I want our group to be more diversified and competitive, so I plan to start producing variety shows......

Among the many variety shows, the simplest and most popular is the variety show of music competition, I saw that the variety show "We Are Singers" has been popular for three consecutive seasons, so I am ready to follow suit and make a variety show that is benchmarked against it. ”

After listening to this, Chen Zhe nodded and asked: "But "We Are Singers" has been based on three seasons, although there are shady incidents, but the current reputation among the audience is not bad.

In addition, "We Are Singers" is backed by S City TV, which still has certain brand benefits. If Mr. Fan wants to benchmark with them, he must have some advantages, right?

Fan Kuan immediately said: "This is actually the question I have been thinking about before, what are our advantages. To be honest, our Star Mutual Entertainment and S City TV will definitely not be able to compete, we are just a rising star after all.

I've been struggling with this question before, why do we benchmark ourselves against the gold medal variety show "We Are Singers", and what do we rely on to defeat it? Because we haven't gotten an answer for a long time, our variety show has not been implemented until now.

However, after Mr. Chen and Shu Qian, two heavyweight singers, left "We Are Singers" one after another, I realized that my opportunity had come.

Mr. Chen, you are my capital, you are the key to my defeat of "We Are Singers", as long as we win over singers who are better than the singers in "We Are Singers", won't our music competitive variety shows be able to surpass them? After all, excellent singers are the core of music competitive singers, isn't it?"

After listening to Fan Kuan's words, Chen Zhe smiled and nodded.

"Thank you, Mr. Fan, for your affirmation. ”

But soon he said no:

"But with all due respect, it's not easy to support a variety show with just one or two excellent singers.

Mr. Fan, what you want to create must be an evergreen phenomenon-level variety show that can become a brand and even surpass "We Are Singers", rather than pursuing a flash in the pan, right?"

"Yes. Fan Kuan nodded and said, "Of course we have to pursue an evergreen variety show, this is my real goal." ”

Chen Zhe nodded, and said: "Then this variety show must have something more interesting than "We Are Singers", and it must have advantages that "We Are Singers" did not do.

Indeed, I now agree to join your variety show, and under my persuasion, Shu Qian will most likely join this variety show. But the two of us can only participate in one season of this variety show, we can't participate in every season, right?

In other words, we can only guarantee that the quality of this variety show is higher than "We Are Singers" in a short period of time, but we can't guarantee it for too long. ”

After listening to Chen Zhe's words, Fan Kuan admitted with a solemn expression: "This is indeed the case. ”

"So Mr. Fan, if you want to completely surpass "We Are Singers", then you must make greater innovations. Do you have any good ideas in this regard?" asked Chen Zhe.

"This ...... I really haven't. Fan Kuan smiled bitterly, "To be honest, Mr. Chen, I have also thought of all these suggestions you made, and this is actually my request to my team, I ask them to surpass and innovate in this variety show."

Transcendence is to surpass what "We Are Singers" currently has, and they have the advantages of this column, and we have to do better.

And innovation refers to adding something that "We Are Singers" does not have, and we must also do the advantages that they can't do. ”

Chen Zhe said: "Your thinking is right. ”

Fan Kuan smiled bitterly: "But what if the idea is right? This request is very simple to put forward, but it is difficult to do it." It's like the final exam, I always ask our children to do better this time than the last time.

Making a request is just a mouthful, but it is more difficult to fulfill this request than to ascend to the sky. ”

But speaking of this, Fan Kuan saw that Chen Zhe looked confident, and suddenly asked thoughtfully: "Mr. Chen, do you have an idea?"

Chen Zhe smiled lightly and nodded, "I won't tell you, I really have an idea." ”

As a time-traveler, Chen Zhe is used to seeing music variety shows in another world, and if you pick one of these music variety shows at random, you can compete with "We Are Singers".

Fan Kuan hurriedly humbly asked for advice: "Mr. Chen, tell me what you think." ”

Chen Zhe nodded and said methodically: "If you want to surpass "We Are Singers", you must understand the advantages of this variety show, and how we can develop our strengths and avoid weaknesses.

As a traditional music competition variety show, "We Are Singers" has basically achieved the ultimate in music competition - invite the most powerful singers in today's music scene to participate in the show in the future, and use the best stage and sound effects to bring an auditory feast.

In addition, "We Are Singers" has been done for three seasons, and their listeners have cultivated loyalty, so if we want to do the same variety show to compete with them, our chances of winning are not great......"
