Chapter 1046: I Have a Dream (Floating Red Plus 1)
"This ...... Can I take it back and show it to the professionals?" Barbara was not so obedient to Hong Tao, unless Hong Tao replaced her, she only did what she thought was right.
"No problem, but be careful not to let these things get out too soon, I have the strength to win awards for each of my singles, don't think I'm joking. Hong Tao still likes to arrange work with Ah Shan and Tan Jing, and he only needs to make decisions according to his own ideas.
Although Barbara is very capable, it is too troublesome to discuss something with her, and if it weren't for the fact that she really doesn't have the talent in this area, she would have been replaced a long time ago. I don't know what happened to Lily and her son who hasn't met yet, and what happened to Hillary and Carol. Originally, I was going to take time to take a look, but now it's okay, don't take time, this national reality show called "I Have a Dream" has one episode in Houston and one episode in Los Angeles, and then I, the judge, can just fake the public and private interests.
Hong Tao was very busy throughout July, in addition to attending large charity galas held by the local high society in New York from time to time, he also had to go to the studio to record his seven possible best-selling singles in the future. This evaluation was not given to himself by Hong Tao, but by several famous music critics and bands invited by the Golden Throat Group. However, they also added later, if these songs can be sung by other more suitable singers, the word "maybe" can be removed. It's not that Hong Tao's singing skills are too bad, nor is his voice too bad, but that his English pronunciation is neither American nor British, or both American and British. It is also mixed with the pronunciation of some European English-speaking countries and Australia, which is simply a hodgepodge. It has the potential to affect the feelings of American listeners.
But they couldn't stop Hong Tao from performing these songs himself, because the songwriters were all himself. He has also had the experience of tapes, whether it is in China or in the United States, he is an industry insider, he knows many things, and he can't fool him if he wants to. Sing it if you want to, anyway, as long as the copyright is in hand, you can also authorize others to cover it in the future.
In addition to necessary social activities and recording his own singles, Hong Tao basically gave the rest of his time to Hong Shan and Ah Shan. The two of them were victims this time, especially Hong Shan. was almost used as bait by his own father, and he was very wronged, so Hong Tao wanted to accompany the two of them more, which could be regarded as compensation, and this is all he can do now.
For Hong Shan, what kidnapping is not kidnapping, there is Hong Tao, a big toy to play with him every day, and he has long forgotten the danger of the previous days. Ah Shan was still a little resentful of Hong Tao at first, and was even reluctant to share a room with him. After a few days, it was fine, and it was back to its original appearance, and she became the female president who sat in a luxury car, went in and out of high-end office buildings, and held meetings with a group of Monopoly people every day. After returning home, there is no longer a cold war with Hong Tao, and when the family of three takes a break, the family goes for a walk in the park, a ride on the sea, or simply takes a private jet to Florida further south for a vacation.
But by the end of July. Hong Tao's trouble came, and the Paris sisters finally convinced their grandfather to come to New York to play with him. These two guys have been since the day Hong Tao had an accident. If you have nothing to do, call Hong Tao on the phone, there are always endless questions to ask and endless topics to talk about. In order to prove that they are close to Hong Tao, they have to bring their classmates to chat together. Now I don't have to go to school. That must have come back as soon as possible, and then captured Hong Tao in the recording studio as soon as possible. With Nicole's adoptive father, Hong Tao can't escape their clutches as long as he is still in the American music circle.
"I'm going to fly with you!" I've talked to my classmates, and I'll jump off the Empire State Building when the time comes, I don't like the World Trade Center, it's like a big stick!" Paris's request was simple.
"I want to play a small role in your TV series, if you have lines, it's better to play against you, do you have a girlfriend there? I can also play your girlfriend!" Nikki has also reached the age of spring love, and Paris was the same as a year ago, which is really worthy of a family.
"It seems that the job of the tutor that your grandfather hired for you is not very effective...... You haven't made any progress at all this year! Flying is definitely not allowed, you are still underage, and you need the consent of your parents to do this kind of exercise, and I don't think they will agree. Even if they agree, I don't agree, it's a sport that needs to be trained to try, you can play if you want, and when you become an adult, come to me to train, and you can play when you pass the training. As for acting in the TV series, I'm sorry, but I can't have a suitable role for you, but I can let you be my assistant and go to the shooting site together. Don't pout! If you want to go or not, it's just this opportunity, and it's impossible to go in the future. Hong Tao will definitely not agree to their request, if you don't want to fall out with the Hilton family, it's best not to play around with this pair of sisters, they are now the heirs of the family, not only can't take risks, but at least don't participate in some undignified activities.
"Look, as I said, he's still the same rigid guy...... Damn age!" Nikki waved her hands at Paris, as if she knew Hong Tao well.
"An assistant is an assistant, but as on a sailboat, you have to pay us!" Paris is a year older, and his brain is a little better, and he knows how to ask for a salary.
"You two go home and see Richard and Casey first, if you behave well, I'm going to help "I Have a Dream" find judges in a few days, I can take you with me, do you know who the special guest is this time? Hehehe, I guarantee that you are satisfied!" Hong Tao has no good way to take their sisters, if they are at sea, he can use force, but here, he can only coax them not to cause too much trouble to themselves, small troubles that cannot be avoided.
"Can you take Nicole with you? They're all back to New York, and you're here Nicole told us. Nikki was still so unrighteous that she sold her friend in a blink of an eye.
Throughout the month of August, Hong Tao really became a trapeze, riding his small plane, running around the United States, not only for the preparation of the TV series, but also for the reality show to beg grandpa and grandma. But this time the Paris sisters and Nicole didn't make trouble, on the contrary, they helped themselves a lot, because they also know a lot of children of celebrities in the entertainment industry, if it is not appropriate for Hong Tao to visit, you can go under the pretext of sending the children to visit their classmates, and they can also meet the person they want to find, and it is even easier.
On September 1, the nation's first reality talent show "I Have a Dream" was launched in Los Angeles. Because of its strong lineup and star-studded appearance, this show has been contracted by 2 major TV networks in the United States, basically covering the entire United States. The program lasted for 8 months, and will be auditioned in 6 cities, mainly in the traditional performance forms of singing, drama, magic, dance, and acrobatics, and each city lasted 20 days, and finally selected 8 contestants to participate in the semi-finals.
The last two months are the semi-finals and finals, these 48 players will be divided into groups, and finally the audience will conduct SMS and online voting to select the 8 players with the highest votes to enter the finals, and the two players with the best performance in the finals will enter the finals to compete. The winner will receive a grand prize of $100,000 and a one-year publishing contract from Golden Voice's record label to publish all of your tracks since you entered the competition. Of course, if other big record companies take a fancy to you, this contract can also be transferred, but the negotiation object is not the contestant himself, but the negotiation with the Golden Throat Media Group, and the copyright of these participating tracks still belongs to the Golden Throat Group.
The top 8 players all have this kind of reward, but there is a slight difference in the amount of prize money and the proportion of the contract share. In fact, these bonuses and publishing investment are just a small amount, and Hong Tao does not expect to use this show to catch up with other big record companies in one fell swoop. The main business of Golden Throat Media Group is still television, newspapers, and radio, and he is satisfied with elevating these three businesses to a regional leader, and he has not yet considered anything about the national and global media giants. It's not that I don't want to think about it, but it's useless to think too far, the media industry is a core industry in that country, even if an outsider can toss it again, if you want to enter, you have to come step by step, and you can't be in a hurry.
This reality talent show actually loses money, and according to the current budget and advertising revenue, it has lost a lot. The group spent nearly $60 million on appearances paid to the big stars, big star judges and special guests, not including venue hire fees and room and board for staff, and the total number of broadcast contracts sold was less than $5 million, and the big advertiser sponsors basically didn't.
But Hong Tao is not in a hurry, he doesn't expect this thing to make money, as long as it can earn fame, that's how he comes from. However, he is very confident that this show will get better and better, so under his strong advocacy, Golden Throat Media Group did not sell all the broadcast rights of the entire program at once, but divided it into 4 stages, one stage every 2 months. Now it's only the broadcast rights for the first two months, as for the aftermath, let's see, if the program is good and the number of viewers is large, then the price will have to rise. If the show is not good, other TV networks will lose two months of money at most, which is good for everyone. Not only the broadcast rights, but even the advertising sponsorship also follows this form, whether this is a bad show with a huge investment, or a good show with a lot of stars, everything will be talked about in two months. (To be continued......)
