Chapter 165: Global Chinese Rookie Singing Contest

Wu Ming is not ready to let Zhou Liang Shuyi dig people again, in his previous life, Zhou Liang Shuyi didn't dig up so many wireless people, and even "Happy Tonight" was poached most of it.

But the wireless foundation is too rich, and after poaching a group of people, someone else immediately picked it up. Later, these poached people stayed at ATV for a short time, and then they returned to wireless one after another. It shows that the use of poaching people is not very great.

As the old saying goes, iron needs to be hard. Only by improving the strength of Star TV can it truly defeat wireless. With some home remedies, it can only be beautiful for a while, and it can't last.

Since Huang Xizhao, Zhou Liang Shuyi and the others on Star TV had no way to deal with wireless, Wu Ming could only play in person.

With one show, Wu Ming really has little confidence that he can beat TVB's "Happy Tonight". Even if Wu Ming has a lot of programs watching Changhong in his mind, Wu Ming feels a headache when he thinks of the popularity that "Happy Tonight" has accumulated over more than ten years.

"Since a variety show can't bear you, I'll launch a few more, and I don't believe that a few good shows can't beat you. ”

Wu Ming thought secretly in his heart.

Wu Ming thought about what variety show he should come up with, and talk shows would definitely not work. Looking at the status quo that there is no good variety show on Star TV, you know that Star TV does not have any good hosts.

Talk shows like "Luyu Has an Appointment", "Kangxi is Coming", and "Interview with Yang Lan" must have very high-quality hosts. Without excellent hosts like Lu Yu and Yang Lan, and without certain hosting skills, talk shows can't be run at all. If it is forcibly launched, it can only draw a tiger and not an anti-dog, and it will not be able to look at it at all.

Reality shows are not good, "Where Are You Going, Dad", "Run, Brother" and other programs have a lot of investment. Later generations had digital video cameras and flash memory, which could be filmed at will and did not cost much. But in this era, tapes and film are used, and it is not known how much it will cost to record a reality show. And reality TV isn't necessarily going to be popular in this day and age.

After thinking about it for a long time, Wu Ming chose a talent show and a puzzle answer program.

It just so happens that Starlight Records needs to develop, and holding a singing contest can select many excellent singers. Wu Ming thought carefully about the rules of the draft competition such as "Super Girl" and "Happy Boy", and felt that he was not satisfied.

He has to both increase ratings for Star TV and select talent for Starlight Records. These are biased towards showmanship, they will cry as soon as they come on stage, and the miserable programs from all sides will definitely not be able to choose singers who satisfy Huang Zhan and the four people.

It's not that you can't complain, for the sake of ratings, some sensational means are inevitable. It's just that those talent shows in the previous life have been completely biased towards small means, and they don't take the singer's real strength very seriously.

Thinking of the "Global Chinese Rookie Singing Contest" held by Wireless in the future, Wu Ming smiled in his heart. Watch me snatch the name of your future show and play against you.

The predecessor of the "Global Chinese Rookie Singing Contest" was the "Rookie Singing Contest", which was only open to Hong Kong contestants at that time, and was co-organized by Heung Kong TVB and Huaxing Records, which unearthed many talents for the Hong Kong music scene, and the winners will receive singer contracts from Huaxing Records.

For example, Mei Yanfang, Lu Fang, Zhang Weijian, Luo Jialiang, Liming and many other stars were discovered by this competition.

Of course, Wu Ming just borrowed the name of the program wireless. This singing contest held by wireless is too rough, just blindly singing, without complaining. How can such a show have good ratings.

The real way of the competition is to refer to the singing talent shows in his previous life, and combine the advantages of each program to make up one by himself.

"The first variety show I came up with was the "Global Chinese Rookie Singing Contest"," Wu Ming said with a slight smile.

"A singing contest?"

Huang Xizhao and Zhou Liang Shuyi's eyes widened.

"Yes, it's a singing contest, and holding this competition can not only collect some excellent singers for Starlight Records, but also increase the ratings of TV stations, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone. When the time comes, taking out 1 million Hong Kong dollars as a singer's bonus will definitely attract a lot of contestants. When the time comes, you'll be able to get a very good rating. Wu Ming said with a smile.

Huang Xizhao asked: "Is 1 million Hong Kong dollars a bit much?"

Wu Ming waved his hand and said, "Not much, not much." A singer competition can be about ten or twenty hours, and it can be divided into ten periods. Spread out, the first phase is only 100,000 Hong Kong dollars!"

Zhou Liang Shuyi muttered: "But can this kind of competition be welcomed?"

Wu Ming affirmed: "Needless to say, isn't TVB's "Miss Hong Kong" very well-organized, even if our singing competition is not as good, it will not be much worse! Besides, I have taken out so many prize money and so many contestants. These contestants also have relatives and friends, so the bigger and bigger it gets, the audience will definitely not be less!"

In the previous life, the ratings of talent shows in the mainland have been rising and rising. It is also necessary for the relevant departments to issue an entertainment restriction order to cool down. Wu Ming believes that even if the "Global Chinese Rookie Singing Contest" cannot achieve as high results as "Super Girl" and "Happy Boy", it will not be far behind.

"Okay!" Huang Xizhao pondered for a while and said, "Then the dead horse should be treated as a live horse doctor, give it a try!"

Zhou Liang Shuyi also nodded and agreed.

Wu Ming saw that the two of them agreed, a smile appeared on his face, and said, "You can rest assured, this singing competition will definitely not disappoint you." ”

Huang Xizhao and Zhou Liang Shuyi both smiled bitterly, and now they have no way to deal with the wireless "Happy Tonight", so they can only let the boss give it a try.

"In addition to this show, I thought of another show. Wu Ming said again.

According to Wu Ming's estimation, the ratings of "Global Chinese Rookie Singing Contest" should be very high. But this kind of program can only produce more than ten or twenty episodes a year, which is not comparable to the five or six episodes of "Happy Tonight" a week. You have to find a show that can be produced for a long time.

"What program?" asked Huang Xizhao.

"A puzzle quiz program. Wu Ming replied.

Huang Xizhao and Zhou Liang Shuyi looked at Wu Ming in confusion, it was really strange that answering questions could become a show.

Wu Ming didn't wait for the two to ask questions, and explained: "This show is to invite a group of people to answer the questions, and the contestants need to correctly answer 15 consecutive multiple-choice questions with four choices, and if they can answer all of them correctly, they will get a huge prize of 100 Hong Kong dollars." ”

"HK$1,000,000!"

Huang Xizhao and Zhou Liang Shuyi immediately became calm when they heard this number. This is not just a singing contest, it is only held once a year, but it is often held.

With such a large amount, will Star TV be able to afford it then?
