Chapter 146: Ranking Selection Rules
After whispering here for a while, the people are almost there.
As the convener, Wang Changtian and Wang Zong, briefly said a few words, and after talking about the causes and consequences of today's meeting, this matter was reported in advance, and everyone who came here basically knew it.
Therefore, Wang Changtian didn't say much, and asked people to prepare a draft of the proposed rules for the selection of the music billboard in advance, so that everyone could take a look, and if there were reasonable opinions and suggestions, everyone would discuss and determine them together.
As a specially invited representative, Liu Ruoyi also got a draft, and after her thoughts returned to today's topic, Liu Ruoyi simply took a quick look at the selection rules, and other places were just fine, when she saw the calculation of the selection weight, she was a little unbearable to look at first:
Audience votes account for 5%, jury selection accounts for 60%, record sales account for 20%, and weekly results account for 15%.
This selection rule is actually the old way of the jury, and basically the opinion of the jury feels that the award belongs.
But in Liu Ruoyi's view, if the jury has such a high weight, with the urine of the Chinese people, this part of the judges' selection will properly become the hardest hit area of the black-box operation, which is a great unfairness for artists like Liu Ruoyi who have poor connections in the circle and good record sales.
Of course, this is only a small aspect of personal gain.
From a public point of view, according to Liu Ruoyi's inner thoughts, as a pop music chart, if the market sales cannot be respected, and it is arranged by a group of so-called industry experts, it is simply a joke.
In Citigroup, which she is more familiar with, the most famous "Billboard" chart is that there are no expert judges at all, but a comprehensive list of song sales and the most frequently played on jukeboxes, which directly reflects the current fashion trend from the market.
However, in the mainland, I am afraid that this rule cannot be copied for the time being, Liu Ruoyi circled this rule, and after thinking about it, kept the original selection items, but revised the weight ratio to 20% of audience votes, 20% of jury selection, 50% of record sales, and 10% of weekly results.
"Hey, Annie, you really look at it seriously, this kind of thing, I have a headache when I look at it, let me see what you have changed?" After getting to the point, Brother Huan was seriously reading the draft rules, while Sister Ying, who was not interested in the rules, had nothing to do, looking at what Liu Ruoyi was writing seriously, she couldn't help but come over and ask.
Liu Ruoyi showed her modified things to Sister Ying.
"Oh, your degree of modification is big enough, almost all of them have changed," Sister Ying looked at Liu Ruoyi's revised part, a little surprised, "Aren't the Golden Melody Awards of Xiangjiang and Baodao basically selected by the jury?
Sister Ying is the one who has won the Treasure Island Golden Melody Award, and of course she understands the selection rules over there, so looking at this similar plan that refers to the other side, she originally had no opinions, so it was very strange to modify Liu Ruoyi.
"Sister Ying, I think that whether a song has vitality or not, whether fans admit it or not, is always reflected through the market, so the sales of records (including cassettes, video tapes, DVDs and other music products) have a greater weight, which can better reflect the popularity of the market. Liu Ruoyi explained.
"The pop music charts we make, of course, ultimately need to be recognized by the market to be effective, and the "Billboard" charts are made in accordance with market principles and are recognized by fans.
I don't think a group of professional judges can choose the music that fans like, this is neither objective nor fair, just like the Xiangjiang and Baodao Golden Melody Awards, don't they often select a lot of so-called golden songs that don't get a response from the market at all?"
"I think it makes sense for you to say that, but why don't we just use marketing sales to select or directly replace it with sales rankings?"
In fact, if it is a relatively fair and reasonable market condition, it is the fairest way to replace the so-called selection with sales data, of course, adding radio on-demand and TV station broadcast frequency statistics is more complete.
However, nothing is absolute.
In the opinion of this professional judge, if you think according to Liu Ruoyi's heart, the future is indeed redundant, but there is still some necessity for existence now.
"I think that if the sales statistics are more fair and authoritative in the future, it is possible to replace the selection list with sales and on-demand charts with reference to "Billboard", but considering that it is necessary to be recognized and accepted by people in the music circle, it is not realistic to do so without the participation of music authorities at this stage.
On the other hand, I think that with the rise of the Internet, there may be some pure saliva songs with low level and low style in the future, and there may also be some sales.
But this type of song is also popular for three or five months, and if it is ranked in the category of golden songs according to sales, it will obviously have an impact on the credibility of our charts, so now I think there is still a need for such a professional judge to check it, and it is also necessary to evaluate the comprehensive quality of the work. ”
After listening to Liu Ruoyi's explanation, Sister Ying felt that Liu Ruoyi was so reasonable, and she really couldn't say anything against it, feeling that although Liu Ruoyi was young, the depth and breadth of thinking about the problem was far beyond her reach.
Forget it, this kind of brain-burning thing, Sister Ying never forced herself, someone proposed, just seconded it.
"Annie, did you just think of these opinions?, or did you have these concepts before?" Brother Huan, who heard Liu Ruoyi's explanation at the same time, couldn't help but ask.
"Yes, Brother Huan, this is my personal opinion, I propose it for your reference, I think a list, the most important thing is to be recognized by fans to have long-term vitality, and how to get this recognition, of course, is fair, just and open, so that the really good works, the works that fans like are shown through the rankings. ”
Zhou Tianwang next to him listened and nodded frequently, obviously Liu Ruoyi's words won his approval, a ranking, if there is less human interference, the fairer it will be, this truth Zhou Tianwang and Brother Huan immediately understood when they heard it.
From the perspective of doing this ranking from a public perspective, we must consider promoting the entire mainland music scene to be more effectively integrated with the music scene and market of Hong Kong and Baodao, so that we can catch up and let the music works and charts of the mainland be recognized by both Hong Kong and Baodao.
For this purpose, expanding the important weight of record sales data in the charts is a good facilitator.
After all, this factor is the most objective, so that singers from across the Taiwan Strait and three places will not have many doubts about it in the future.
