Chapter 116: Strange Goods
Chu Tian's preset four mentors of "The Voice of China" are three men and one woman, and before finding Li Xian, Chu Tian had given Liu Duoer a lot of consideration.
In terms of popularity, Liu Duoer's current popularity is stronger than Li Xian, whether in China or in the world, and she can take on the role of popularity in the show.
It's just that Chu Tian thought about it and put this idea on hold, first, now that Liu Duoer is driving TR to occupy the global market, I don't know if he can spare so much time to record a variety show, even if Chu Tian invites him, Liu Duoer agrees, it is estimated that TR will not agree, at least not so happily, and there may even be unknown troubles such as vacancies in the middle.
In addition, one of the most important reasons is that Liu Duoer's background is not enough.
This reason is also tried on Chen Shi.
In terms of being responsible for comedy, in the entire Chinese music scene, Chu Tianzhen can't find a few who can have a more comedic effect than Chen Shi.
Chen Shi is now firmly among the first-line stars on the popularity list, and this line of popularity is comparable to that of first-line singers, in terms of popularity, Chen Shi is naturally much stronger than some first-line singers.
However, Chu Tian ruled it out after a little thought, just because the background was not enough.
Moreover, although Chen Shi is professional enough, he does not have good creative ability like Liu Duoer.
Among these four mentors, it is really difficult to find those who Chu Tian wants to pull to take on the role of funny, at least it is much more difficult to find than those who can take on the role of hosting.
The mentor who presided over the role, Chu Tian immediately aimed at the treasure island music scene.
The Treasure Island music scene, like the original world, has had a show culture for a long time, and many singers have experienced show performances, so many singers on Treasure Island have very good hosting skills in addition to their strong singing skills. Similarly, there are many variety show hosts on Treasure Island who are singers themselves.
In this way, Chutian is very simple to screen, you only need to screen out the strongest singing skills and creative ability from the current Baodao variety show hosts, and then screen out the strongest hosting skills from the musicians, and then compare them.
And it is very coincidental that after Chu Tian and the team screened, the same person was selected on both sides, so there was no need to compare.
"That's it!"
Chu Tian had read the information of this screened person, and he directly settled on it.
This screened mentor is named He Qingshuo, who was a smash hit around 2000, and was the first person in the history of the Baodao entertainment industry to win two Golden Melody Singers and two Golden Bell Awards for Best Host.
After Chu Tian saw the information, he naturally habitually compared him with the stars of the original world for the first time, the most comparable is undoubtedly Wu Zongxian of the original world and Yu Chengqing, who was the mentor of the first season of The Voice, these two have won both the Golden Melody Award and the Golden Bell Award, this He Qingshuo is a bit like a combination of the two, whether it is hosting skills, funny ability, creation or singing skills, they are all extremely strong, if not, they will naturally not be able to win two golden songs and two golden bells.
The most important thing is that this He Qingshuo has the energy of Harry's "old naughty boy of music" in the original world, and it is very important for Chutian to play music instead of being played by music.
Of course, aside from these, He Qingshuo originally had the title of the pop godfather of the Baodao music scene, although he is not very popular compared to now, but his fame is very great, and his status is also very high.
Therefore, Chutian specially flew to Treasure Island, talked with He Qingshuo three times before and after, and finally said that He Qingshuo joined "The Voice of China".
Because of his popularity, and because of He Qingshuo's commercial performance fees in recent years, his one-season package price is much lower than that of Xia Shang and Li Xian.
After the three mentors were decided, because the last one was really too many candidates but they didn't like it too much, Chu Tian, Mr. Zhang and the others were temporarily stranded after discussion.
The undecided mentor was made into the image of the mysterious mentor, and the three mentors who had been finalized were added, and Galaxy Production began to make posters and other items and props for publicity and promotion, and at the same time, began to prepare for auditions in ten cities across the country.
In terms of auditions, Chu Tian gave only one explanation, that is, to only listen to the voice and not look at people, as long as the voice is new, strange, special, strange, of course, the most important thing is to listen to it, and the image can be any way!
Three heavyweight mentors joined, and they played the banner of only listening to voices and not looking at people, and as soon as the news of the audition came out, the applicants were like clouds. In terms of auditions, the team led by Wang Pengcheng already has strong experience, so naturally everything is in order.
From project approval to mentor joining to audition, the efficiency of "The Voice of China" is very high, and it is so high that Lian Zhang, Wang Pengcheng and others are staggering. Among them, Chu Tian invited such three mentors with the power of one person, which also made them extremely admired.
However, the admiration does not stop there.
On January 6th, the North American music top 100 list was refreshed, and the sixth day of the release of Liu Duoer's new album was also the first time that the list was refreshed after release, and the second and third title songs in the new album "California-Gurls" and "Teenage-dream" directly landed in the top 100 of the top 100 list, ranking second and sixth, and the first place on the newly refreshed list is still "I-Kissed-A-Girl", which became the first crown single of the new year, and it also won for two consecutive weeks.
As soon as this result came out, Liu Duoer's popularity skyrocketed again, and she truly became a popular singer in North America.
On January 8, at 10 a.m. LA time, Liu Duoer's new album "One-Dream" announced its first-week sales, ranking first in North America this year's sales list with 317,000 copies, and this week's sales were enough to enter the top 10 last year.
On January 8, at 2 p.m. LA time, the Grammys officially announced the shortlist for the new year, and also announced the awards and performance guests.
Like the original world, the Grammy Music Awards is the largest music festival in North America and even in the world, but the difference is the calculation cycle, which is directly based on a natural year, which is more simple and clear than the original world.
Although "I-Kissed" was released in November last year, the album "One-Dream" was released on January 1, so the album was not selected for this year's Grammys.
However, Liu Duoer appeared in the list of performers, becoming the first Chinese singer in Grammys history to serve as a guest performer, which also shows Liu Duoer's popularity now.
In addition, Chutian also received an invitation from the Grammy Awards Gala, inviting Chutian to attend the Grammys as a "guest of honor".
This invitation is also one of the only five invitations sent by the Grammys to the Chinese entertainment industry, the other four, one is a famous pianist, a bull who has basically appeared on major stages around the world, and the status is equivalent to Lang Lang of the original world; 。
There are also two singers who are popular online, mainly related to the growing Chinese market.
The Grammy Awards ceremony is held on February 8, which is basically around the Chinese New Year every year, and this year it happens to be on the second day of the Lunar New Year.
For this sudden invitation, Chu Tian hadn't decided whether to go or not, mainly depending on the next itinerary.
"The Voice of China" is currently preparing for the audition, according to the current point in time, it is unlikely that the audition will be completed before the Spring Festival this year, and it is expected that all the auditions will be completed by the end of February, and the recording is expected to start in mid-March.
Before the recording, Chu Tian basically didn't have anything to do with him except for walking around the audition venue, but there was one more thing that was very important before the official recording, that is, the broadcast platform, that is, to sell the show.
The reason why The Voice was removed from the list of cooperation between Galaxy Production and Blue Whale Satellite TV at the beginning was that the main purpose was to sell it at a good price.
Now the three heavyweight mentors have joined, all kinds of publicity and promotion have been launched, the attention is extremely high, and the momentum has undoubtedly been successful, waiting for a buyer who dares to spend a lot of money!
From the very beginning, Chutian has operated the sound with the mentality of a strange cargo.
