Chapter 8: The singer is masked, the audience votes, and the mentor turns around!

The Han State is a multi-ethnic country with the New Han civilization as the source, the Chinese culture as the foundation, and the Huaxia nationality as the main body.

Kyoto Conservatory of Music is located in Shangjing, the capital of the Han Dynasty, the college was founded in 187 years of the Han Yuan calendar, has a history of 30 years, the college has vocal training, pop singing, recording arts, instrumental music theory and other majors, is known as the cradle of music media education by the industry.

Lai Wanxiang, the CEO of Shining Star Media Co., Ltd., graduated from this school.

As the owner of a start-up company, Li Wanxiang recently reached a partnership with Modu TV to produce and launch a national music talent show called "The First Voice".

Due to the influence of scientific and technological development in recent years, the entertainment and cultural industry in Han has become extremely scarce.

Special effects CG technology has made popcorn movies the mainstream of the screen, fragmented reading has made chicken soup for the soul and jokers the focus of people's attention, and online saliva songs have become more and more sought after due to the acceleration of the pace of life.

In today's Han Kingdom, celebrities are like products on the assembly line, making scandals, buying headlines, playing variety shows, and being popular.

Li Wanxiang has never thought of changing anything, but as a producer, he is keenly aware that the current young group has gradually begun to get tired of fast food culture, and some niche songs have appeared on the paid charts of major music software many times.

"Therefore, this time, we must achieve novel content, profound ideas, and good quality, and highlight the importance of the voice as much as possible, and reduce the impact of the singer's image and other factors on the judges and the audience!"

In the office of Yaoxing Media Co., Ltd., after Li Wanxiang finished talking about his positioning of the program "The First Voice", he glanced at the executive director sitting on the sofa and asked with a serious expression: "Xiangxiang, do you have any other suggestions about the format of the program?"

As soon as the words fell, I saw a woman in professional clothes with short ear-length hair standing up from the sofa, as if she had been prepared, and said without thinking about it:

"Mr. Li, I think about it like this, first of all, in each round of the audition, we select 500 audiences between the ages of 20 and 60 to be judges, and each audience has a decision button in their hands, as long as the contestants get half of the passing votes, they can advance to the next round of the competition. ”

Picking up a glass of water from the desk, taking a sip and moistening her throat, the woman continued: "At the same time, we will isolate the stage from the audience during the audition, so that the audience cannot see the contestants, so that the people selected in the first round will be the voices that most of the audience likes. ”

"Well, your method can indeed screen out some excellent voices, but I think variety shows should not isolate the audience from the stage, we can appropriately add some mystery, such as letting all the contestants wear masks and use pseudonyms to compete!"

Li Wanxiang is worthy of being a veteran who has worked hard in the TV industry for many years, and after listening to the woman's advice, he quickly made a supplement, and continued:

"And it's too topical to just let the audience make a choice, it's better to add three well-known musician mentors to the show, so that their seats can be turned away from the stage, eight contestants in each round of audition, each mentor gives the right to press a button, as long as a mentor presses the pass button, regardless of whether the audience votes more than half, the contestant will be directly promoted. ”

The singer is masked, the audience votes, and the mentor turns around.

After determining these three key words, Li Wanxiang's face, which had been tense, finally showed a relaxed smile.

"It's so interesting just that the audition, Mr. Li, how do you say you should play in the rematch stage later?"

To be able to achieve the position of executive director of Bright Star Media Co., Ltd., the short-haired woman has been in the industry for many years, so she knows very well what questions to ask when the leader is excited to express her views.

"Rematch?"

Li Wanxiang pondered for a while, now that the novelty of the content is satisfied, the next thing to do is to have a profound idea and pass the quality.

"In the semi-finals, I plan to have the contestants compete against each other, still with 500 audience judges and three musician mentors in each round.

When the two contestants finish singing, the three mentors decide who will stay and who will go, and then the 500 audience members on the scene choose whether to approve the mentor or not, if the audience does not approve of the number of votes more than 400 votes, the mentor's decision will be vetoed, and the two contestants will advance to the next round at the same time. Of course, if it is less than 400 votes, the eliminated contestant needs to take off his mask and make a parting speech. ”

Compared with the audition, the semi-final is much simpler, because the mentor has the right to choose one vote in the first round, so when designing the semi-final system, Li Wanxiang thought of giving the audience the right to veto the mentor.

"While respecting specialization, we should also respect the choice of the public, Mr. Li, you want to express the concept that everyone is equal in front of music, right?"

The short-haired woman concisely summarized the intention of the show, took out a black notebook from her jacket pocket as she spoke, and walked to Li Wanxiang with eight centimeters of high heels.

"Now that there is innovation, the idea is enough, and the last item is missing, that is, the quality of the program needs to be passed. ”

The short-haired woman opened the black notebook in her hand, handed it to Li Wanxiang and said: "Our production team can reach the domestic first-class level, so there is no need to worry about this aspect for the time being, and the overall level of the contestants is still to be considered." During this time, I selected the best conservatories in the country, and at the same time, I also had people collect the outstanding students of these schools, and I think that if you select players from these schools, there should not be too much problem in terms of quality. ”

Looking at the dense names of schools and people on the black notebook, Li Wanxiang nodded, smiled and approved: "Xiangxiang, do you know what I admire about you the most? That is, you will always arrange things in advance, and I will leave all the selection of contestants to you this time." ”

After giving the task, Li Wanxiang suddenly saw the name of a school on the notebook, patted his head lightly and said: "By the way, in a few days it will be the graduation season of the 30th anniversary of the founding of my alma mater, I want to go back and take a look, Xiangxiang, help me arrange it, and I will accompany you when the time comes." ”

"Mr. Li, you just handed over the right to choose people to me, for the quality of the program, after returning to your alma mater, can you take care of those younger brothers and sisters?"

Knowing that the leader was in a good mood now, the short-haired woman made a little joke.

"Haha, Xiangxiang, you..."

Li Wanxiang smiled and shook his head, although he knew that this sentence was just a joke, but he still made a solemn promise: "Regarding the matter of picking people, I will never interfere with you, I will just go back to see it this time, and I will treat it as a revisit, you can rest assured, I will definitely not add one more person to you!"
