Chapter 121: Official Recording
Chu Tian did not participate in the negotiation of the broadcast rights with each David TV, and gave it to Mr. Zhang.
The first is that the 70 million naming fee is in hand, the four major mentors are assembled, and "The Voice of China" has the absolute initiative; the second is the advertising share of the TV station, Chutian doesn't know how to operate at all, it is very complicated and cumbersome, even if he participates in the negotiation, he can't say a few words, and recently Mr. Zhang and others have thought that the backbone is used to it, if he is there, it will make them tiptoe;
Of course, before Mr. Zhang went to negotiate, Chu Tian also gave his two opinions. The first is that it is better to sell the price lower than to sell the naming fee that has already been paid; the second is that the advertising share with the TV station and the broadcast platform is limited to the first six episodes, and the subsequent programs need to be negotiated twice, especially the final episode of the "Peak Night", the program is to carry out a round of advertising investment.
In particular, the second one, most importantly, can reduce the selling price and the advertising score becomes a bargaining chip.
Zhang always knows the whole program process, and knows how to operate after six episodes, Chu Tian will naturally understand.
The audition of "The Voice of China" is divided into ten cities across the country, plus an overseas special. The general person in charge of the audition sites in ten cities is also director Wang Pengcheng, who has handled many talent shows, so he is naturally no stranger to this.
To be honest, at the beginning, he didn't agree with Chu Tian's words very much, he only listened to the voice and didn't look at people, it sounded very beautiful, but it was definitely difficult to operate. He is not only responsible for selecting a group of singing voices from below, he also has to take into account the future development, popularity is very important, if you want popularity, your appearance must not be bad, he is very worried that if you only listen to the voice, you will select a group of draft players who suffer a lot in appearance, which makes him very worried, after all, the draft has always looked at the face!
However, after having more contact with Chu Tian, especially watching Chu Tian win the four mentors and win the title fee of 70 million, I admire it very much, once I admire it, then there will naturally be some blind trust, and as a result, the "Chu Tian standard" that was secretly relaxed was suddenly tightened.
And after such a tightening, he looked at the contestants who had passed the audition one by one, and he was inexplicably excited!
If you really put aside the appearance, just listening to the voice, what you received this time is really scary!
Chu Tian has been there in turn at the draft sites in ten cities, and he also knows the situation of the players, which is beyond his surprise in terms of quality.
The overseas special session was arranged in Shanghai, which started the latest but ended the earliest among all the auditions, and completed all the auditions at the end of February, from which 12 players were selected to participate in the semi-finals.
In mid-March, 120 people from the ten audition cities were selected, plus 12 overseas contestants, and a total of 132 people entered the second round.
The elimination rate of the audition is very high, a total of 130,000 people participated in the audition, and only 132 people were selected, which shows this proportion.
Why is it a person-time? Because there are some draft maniacs who participate in more than one city audition.
On March 20, 132 contestants gathered at the BJ Starlight Film and Television Base, all signed a confidentiality agreement, and conducted a week-long special training. The training includes stage training and language training, which is what all talent shows have. In addition to this, each of the 132 people took a "profile" video.
The re-election was on March 28, and the elimination rate of the re-selection was definitely much lower than that of the audition, with only 30 of the 132 people eliminated, leaving 102 people to enter the final recording.
Of course, being able to enter the final recording session only represents singing on stage, and it is unknown whether it will be selected by the mentor and whether it will be broadcast.
Here, at least thirty more people missed the broadcast.
According to the setting of the program, only six episodes of blind audition will be cut out in the end, and each of the four mentors will choose 14 people, that is, 56 people, and each episode will basically broadcast ten people, that is, 60 people will have a complete singing clip broadcast. In addition, there are more than a dozen people who may be broadcast in the form of "introductions", and there will be no full singing clips, at least not on the satellite TV platform, and there may be full performances in the online version.
Of course, as long as it is filmed by a mentor, it will be broadcast 100%, but some of it will be broadcast.
Drafts have always been brutal.
Chutian got the basic information of 102 people and the audition and re-selection videos, and the next thing was to discuss with the members of the program team how to arrange the recording and other issues.
The recording site is not in the Starlight Film and Television Base, where the small cost is high, and it is really not too suitable for a large-scale talent show like "The Voice of China".
The recording site was at TJ, which rented a university gymnasium in TJ.
At the end of March, the stage had been fully built, and in terms of stage art, Chu Tian only put forward his own opinions and took some of the better ones in the original world, rather than copying the stage. As for the four most important tutor swivel chairs, they have been copied, and they have been delivered to a factory for completion, and they have also been transported to the recording site to complete the commissioning, and the effect is very good.
At this time, Mr. Zhang's side naturally talked about the broadcast platform, and finally sold it to Blue Whale Satellite TV, because there is no naming fee, and there are such harsh sharing requirements, the price is not high, only 30 million. Of course, these 30 million have also exceeded the expectations of Mr. Zhang and even Chu Tian.
So far, the naming fee and broadcast rights have been sold, and the income is 100 million - if the final naming fee can get 70 million - this is still not counting the advertising share of satellite TV, which has earned 20 million.
The next profit depends on how popular the voice is after six issues, if it is hot enough, the advertisement will definitely be able to sell!
In addition, the rights to the webcast have not yet been sold.
In the blink of an eye, it entered April, and on April 5, the recording of "The Voice of China" officially began.
In order to ensure freshness, Chutian strictly controls the information and situation of the players, one is to prevent the outside world, and the other is to prevent the mentor. In addition to knowing the basic information of the contestants, that is, their names, places of origin, and age, the four mentors rarely have any other information.
As for the most criticized "Chinese good story" link in the original world....... there is no way, this is definitely necessary, one is to ensure that the contestants have something to introduce themselves, after all, not every contestant has their own language ability to tell other interesting explosions outside the story.
Of course, if it's true.
Besides, the proportions must be controlled, and you can't play with it like the original world.
In addition, try to dig out other highlights of the players in addition to "selling badly".
The four mentors arrived at TJ on the evening of April 4, met with the program team, and communicated about some things that needed to be communicated.
Prior to this, Chu Tian had also arranged gatherings of the four mentors to make the four of them as familiar as possible, so that more sparks could collide.
On the morning of the fifth day, the four tutors went to the recording site, tried it out, swiveled chairs, and were proficient and able to complete the clap key turn in various postures, and they were all having fun.
At the same time, Chu Tian was talking to the host arranged by Blue Whale Satellite TV in the lounge.
The host's name is Yu Shangcheng, the host of Blue Whale Satellite TV. Like the original world, in addition to Mango Satellite TV, the hosts of other satellite TV are not strong, and their popularity is relatively low, Yu Shangcheng is the only male host on Blue Whale Satellite TV who can hold the stage.
Of course, putting aside the comparison with Mango Satellite TV, Yu Shangcheng's hosting quality is naturally impossible to say, and his ability to control the field is also very strong, famous for his humor and slippery head, the only drawback or the common problem of most hosts, that is, awkward chatting.
Chutian is not a host, and he has no talent as a host, so he naturally has nothing to explain to Yu Shangcheng, and the only requirement is naturally the speed of speech.
That's right, Chutian just wants Yu Shangcheng to become a good Chinese tongue in this world.
This is also a highlight of "The Voice of China", and at the same time, it is also to be worthy of Wang Qinghe's sky-high naming fee for herbal tea.
At the beginning of the show, Chu Tian himself wrote it, and it was very long, longer than the original world, and it was still the first draft, and other sponsors would be added later.
Of course, it is also more rhyming than the original world and more suitable for fast pronunciation, after all, Chu Tian is an expert in rhythm!
