"The Voice of China" is jointly produced by Beijing Shanshan Culture Communication Co., Ltd. and a number of music companies, providing a stage for folk singers to show their singing talents.

As long as you have the dream of pursuing music, you can sign up for the competition, and the program team does not charge any registration fee.

Mu Shanshan has been busy with this matter in the past few months, and the preparations for the show have not been smooth.

First of all, there is the issue of approval, TV variety shows need to be reviewed and approved by the General Administration before they can be produced.

This kind of large-scale talent show is still rare in China, and in some provinces and cities in the south, singing competitions are often held, but the scale is not large, and it is difficult to broadcast on TV.

All that can be broadcast on TV are competitions of professional singers.

In China, pop music has been accepted by the public and sought after after after years of development.

This refers to those professional singers who can make money by releasing music albums, becoming popular, and even appearing on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala.

Folk singers are also a neglected group.

This group of people can't join a music company, so they can only sing in bars and dance halls, or sing on the streets, and their lives are quite difficult.

In the minds of the public, bars and dance halls are not a good place to go, and it is easy to learn badly and have no future, so it is better to go to school and work honestly.

The state is equally unsupportive of this group of folk singers, and it is too vulgar to sing in bars and dance halls.

The songs that can be sung in bars often have a provocative connotation, and they are all about love and love, which is not conducive to the building of spiritual civilization.

The show "Voice of China" wants folk singers to appear on the TV stage and make a name for themselves.

The General Administration should consider the gains and losses, on the one hand, using this show can bring these singers into the formal management channels, and on the other hand, it may cause a bad impact on the society.

If someone becomes successful with the show and becomes a role model, it will motivate others to participate in the competition.

This means that the ranks of folk singers will gradually grow, including students who have dropped out of school, and there are young people who are unwilling to work, which will bring instability to society.

In order to pass the approval, Mu Shanshan thought of a lot of ways.

"The Voice of China" stipulates that only those who are over 18 years old can sign up for the competition, and the program takes youth and inspirational as the theme, and the songs sung by the contestants should be positive and not vulgar and decadent.

The programme encourages young people to strive for their dreams, but not to let this lead to the neglect of their studies and work.

In other words, this is a variety show full of positive energy.

The four music mentors are not only music mentors for the students, but also life mentors.

After two months of review, the General Administration reluctantly agreed to the production of the program, but the content of the program had to be re-examined before it was broadcast, and vulgar footage was not allowed.

Getting a license to produce a show is only the first step, but you also need to find advertising sponsors and broadcast platforms.

For this new show with no precedent, advertisers were deterred.

Mu Shanshan is quite famous in the variety show circle, and the ratings of several programs produced are good, but who hasn't missed it.

It's unreliable to choose a singer from a bar, if you really have a good voice, you will be discovered by the music company a long time ago, and you will still be in the bar, are you willing to watch such a show? Will it be boycotted by the audience?

Before the show is produced, advertisers have no bottom in their hearts, and the risk is too great.

There are also advertisers who value Mu Shanshan's fame and the ability to operate the company, and feel that it is worth a try.

Mu Shanshan negotiated with three advertisers and received a total of 5 million in sponsorship fees.

These expenses are far from enough for "The Voice of China", renting a studio hall, hiring a music instructor, buying expensive instruments for the effect, and inviting the band to play live.

The trainees should have a training venue and recording equipment, not to mention the manpower and material resources to be used in the audition.

Fortunately, the first episode of the program only conducts auditions in the capital area, and if it is a national audition, the cost will be great.

Mu Shanshan estimates that the recording of the first episode of the program will require at least 10 million, which is still cheaper for the invited music instructors, all of which are human prices, but the cost of other hardware cannot be saved.

The company can only pay the production costs first, and then recover the cost by selling the broadcast rights to the TV station.

Mu Shanshan's company has expanded to more than 50 people, except for the normal "Shanshan Interview" and "Beautiful China", all other manpower is concentrated on this new program.

"Jianbao" has been fully responsible for Beijing TV, and Mu Shanshan only charges a certain copyright fee.

The host was also replaced by Ma Weidu, which became a regular program of Beijing TV.

The audition of "Voice of China" is about to begin, and everyone is waiting for it.

In order to expand the influence of the show and attract more grassroots singers to participate in the competition, the company not only advertised in local newspapers in the capital, but also found people to distribute leaflets in major bars and dance halls in the capital.

Most of the grassroots singers in the capital are gathered in these two places, and the life of Beipiao is difficult and helpless.

The weather in July is very hot.

In a private house on the outskirts of the capital, a young man with a small stature opened his eyes, and opposite him was a small fan with full horsepower, who sang crazy in the song hall last night, drank a lot of wine, and now his head still hurts.

He has been in the capital for several years and has sung in many song halls and bars.

At the beginning, the days were hard, but now that I have a little fame in the song hall, my life is much better.

It's like singing last night, when he met the boss, he was happy and could earn more than 2,000 yuan, but the money came and went quickly, and he didn't have any savings, and he could live his life, but he didn't want to spend it like this.

There is no goal in life, the heart is wandering and empty, and the previous ideals are long gone.

He tried to change careers and develop towards the entertainment industry, running tricks in the crew, but he was not good-looking and was destined to become the protagonist.

Getting up from the bed and washing his face in the yard, the young man looked at the sunset that was about to set and knew that his working time was up.

Singing in the cabaret at night and sleeping during the day, this is his daily life.

The young man returned to the house, straightened his hair in the mirror, picked up a cheap mousse and sprayed it on his head, and made a look for himself, he was still a man who loved beauty at heart.

Lock the door, get out of the yard, and walk a little way to get on the bus.

The bus was driving in the capital, and he looked at the huge capital and felt both familiar and unfamiliar.

He has seen the scenery of the capital countless times, but he has never understood the city, and for them who drift north, the city seems so stingy.

After getting off the bus, there is a large song hall not far away.

He walked in familiarly, and joked with the oncoming waitress, his state is coming, and he won't get drunk tonight.

Backstage, several singers who also sang in the song hall gathered around and looked at a piece of colorful paper.

"Hey, brothers, what are you looking at? Are you going to get rich? If you have a good thing, don't forget your brother. The young man greeted him familiarly.

"Huang Bo, it's early to come. Someone responded, "Singer Contest, are you interested?" (To be continued.) )
