Chapter 46: I'm Informing You
"The Voice of China. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info”
Wang Jue reported the name of the show, he has great confidence in The Voice of China, the kind that is not popular.
In the previous life, The Voice of China created countless ratings miracles, all kinds of broken ratings, in the world of Lanxing, Wang Jue also had a very big grasp of making this variety show a big hit.
"Uh......" Sima Qiu's expression was a little unnatural, and he seemed to be a little embarrassed.
Wang Jue was directly blindsided, originally he thought that Sima Qiu would show that kind of very interested look, but he didn't expect Sima Qiu to just shake his head slightly and didn't speak.
This time it's Wang Jue's turn to be embarrassed, what's the situation? That's not what the script says! The director should be holding his legs without discipline and begging Wang Jue to do this show.
"What's wrong? Not interested? Wang Jue asked.
Sima Qiu hesitated for a while and said, "Wang Jue, you may not know a little about these things in the entertainment industry, or you may not have watched much TV in recent years, singing talent shows have long been rotten on the street, almost every TV station has come up with one or two singing talent shows, a year ago, when it came to the prime time of weekend nights, all of them were singing, and then everyone's expectations for news broadcasts were higher than this kind of talent shows, and the audience had long been aesthetically fatigued." ”
No way! is so exaggerated, in the previous life, it was a female voice and a male voice, and later after the good voice came out, it became a variety of swivel chairs, but it was not as exaggerated as Sima Qiu said.
Wang Jue explained, "Director, you underestimate me too much, how can I come up with a bad street TV program for you to do?" This king produces an absolute boutique. ”
How kind of boutique is this?
Sima Qiu was a little puzzled, "How else can this kind of singing talent show be innovative, isn't it all about auditioning a group of people to go up and sing, and then find a few mentors to comment on it?" In the end, as soon as the semi-finals are held, will you choose a champion for an upset? ”
Wang Jue knew why Sima Qiu was so uninterested just now, and now Lan Xing's singing talent show is still on the earth in 2006.
"If you think so about my "The Voice of China", then you are very wrong, you have not got the highlights and selling points."
"What can be the highlights?"
"Then let me ask you, have you ever heard of blind auditions?" Wang Jue said.
Blind audition? What does blind selection mean, with your eyes closed?
Sima Qiu shook his head, "I haven't heard of it." ”
Wang Jue patiently explained, "The show "The Voice of China" is different from other traditional singing programs, although the mode is the same as the traditional model, it is all singing, but the core selling point is different. ”
"What's the difference?" Sima Qiu became interested.
Wang Jue took out a pen and paper and explained while drawing, "When arranging the venue, the seats of the four mentors are the key equipment, and the chairs of the mentors should be turned away from the stage during the audition, but you can't see the contestants, you can only hear their voices, this is blind audition, in this show, the only way to judge the quality of the contestants is their singing, and their appearance is not important." ”
Wang Jue finished saying a lot of words in one breath, and Sima Qiu's face was full of consternation, if he did this, it would be a bit embarrassing!
"It's... Is this what you think? Sima Qiu spoke a little stumbling, and he could see that he was very excited.
Wang Jue nodded calmly, Sima Qiu's current expression is the expression Wang Jue wants to see.
Praise me, praise me as much as you like!
"It's amazing, it's unprecedented, it's really unprecedented."
Sima Qiu couldn't help but applaud, and carefully recalled the operation of the column of The Voice of China narrated by Wang Jue on the side, this blind selection method is really too novel.
Wang Jue is right, for a singer, the only criterion for evaluation should be the singing voice, not appearance, in recent years, there have been more and more members of the appearance association, almost all talent shows will only choose some handsome men and beautiful women, and many folk singers who sing well have lost in appearance, which is very unfair to them.
However, The Voice of China has achieved this fairness.
The more Sima Qiu thought about it, the more excited he became, and he couldn't wait to fly back to the stage now and prepare to record immediately.
Wang Jue smiled and looked at Sima Qiu, who was a little stunned, and thought to himself, when he was on earth, before the Voice of China was broadcast, all the viewers felt that this show was uninteresting, but when the show was really made, the ratings were extremely high, and the ratings records were repeatedly broken.
Whether Wang Jue was on Earth in his previous life or now in Lanxing, he rarely watches TV, but he is still familiar with The Voice of China, because this show is so popular.
"How about the director, have you thought about it, I won't force you, if you can't do it, I'll find other TV stations to cooperate." Wang Jue looked indifferent and deceived Sima Qiu.
Sima Qiu hurriedly said, "Don't, I absolutely agree, how could I give up such a good idea!" ”
"That's good." Wang Jue nodded, "I can assist you in creating this show, but the whole audience must listen to my command, I am the chief director, including the one surnamed Zhang this afternoon, and I will also listen to me." ”
Sima Qiu said, "You can rest assured that that person has been fired from me, and you now have full control of this TV program." ”
"Also, I will set the broadcast time of this show, and the funds must be in place."
"I'm the director, and there's no problem with the funding."
Wang Jue nodded and took a sip of water, "Then so be it, I'll try to come up with a preliminary plan within a week, you can take a look at it first." ”
Sima Qiu asked some more detailed questions, and Wang Jue answered them one by one.
The two talked very happily, it was already more than two o'clock in the morning when Sima Qiu left, if it weren't for Wang Jue being sleepy, Sima Qiu could chat with Wang Jue all night.
At nine o'clock in the morning the next day, Wang Jue was still asleep, and he was called Strawberry Satellite TV, saying that he was going to sign a contract.
Wang Jue was taken to a conference room, and in addition to Sima Qiu, there were seven or eight other people in the conference room.
"What is this for?" Wang Jue asked suspiciously.
Sima Qiu explained with a smile, "Don't be nervous, I listened to your thoughts yesterday, and I didn't sleep all night with excitement. ”
Convince the leadership, Wang Jue understands in his heart, and he is simply not better at fooling this kind of thing.
Wang Jue said, "Leaders, the new column I want to create is called "The Voice of China", which is positioned as a large-scale talent show singing competition column. ”
Before Wang Jue finished speaking, a person who had seriously bowed his head made a strange noise, full of disgust.
Sima Qiu was listening carefully to Wang Jue's speech, and suddenly heard discordant movements, and looked at the person who bowed to the top, "Deputy Director Zhang, what do you mean?" ”
"Hehe, the talent show on the rotten street." Deputy Director Xie Ding said disdainfully, "Young man, do you know how many third-rate stars are drafted in China every year? This column style is too old, forget it, don't pass it, I don't agree. ”
After saying that, he was about to get up and leave.
"Lao Zhang, you wait for Wang Jue to finish speaking."
Wang Jue continued, "This is a mistake, the traditional music talent show focuses on appearance, obviously it is a music program, why pay so much attention to appearance? It's not a beauty pageant. ”
"So, my idea is to use a blind selection method for selection, the mentor has his back to the stage, and the mentor's understanding of the contestants can only be through the voice, in other words, the voice is the only criterion for measuring the quality of the singer, which is also the core selling point of "The Voice of China", if the mentor likes the music of the contestant, turn around directly, and if he doesn't like it, he won't turn around, simple and clear."
Sima Qiu took the lead in applauding, "Well, yes, I think this idea is very good, what do you think?" ”
The rest remained silent and did not speak, as if thinking.
Deputy Director Xie Ding let out a mocking laugh, "It's just that there is one more swivel chair than an ordinary draft, and there is no essential difference at all." ”
Wang Jue said, "Swivelling the chair is just a means, the key to doing so is to return to the essence of singing, in my show, as long as you sing well, no matter what you look like, you can come to participate, don't look at your looks, just listen to your voice." ”
"Who says the draft has to be handsome guys and beauties? You are only imprisoned by the thoughts you had at first. ”
Wang Jue's words were loud, and many people who didn't express their opinions just now raised their heads one after another, and Wang Jue saw Zanke in their eyes.
"Hehe, just listen to the sound? Immature. Deputy Director Xie Ding mocked again.
Wang Jue is really like a slap on his big light head, why does this grandson keep going against himself?
A man with black-framed glasses sitting next to Xie Ding's deputy director said, "The idea is good, but it tends to be too idealistic, if the show doesn't pay attention to appearance, all the players on stage are a group of players with distorted appearances, which will greatly affect the quality of the show, and the sense of picture will be destroyed, which is irresponsible to the audience." ”
"Yes, everyone watches TV just to be happy, just to be happy, who doesn't like handsome guys and beauties? This is the law of variety shows. ”
The corners of Wang Jue's mouth twitched slightly, this group of second goods! That's enough.
"Regularity? To put it mildly, there may be singers who are not as good-looking as some handsome guys and beautiful girls, so let me ask, have you ever heard of what it means to be ugly? Do you know what aesthetic fatigue is? If you follow what you said, why is it that every episode of variety shows across the country invites a group of handsome guys and beauties, and none of the ratings breaks through two points? ”
"Isn't that in line with what you said? Why have ratings been declining? If that's what you're talking about, then I'd rather think it's just a dog fart! ”
"What's more, what right do you have to comment on other people's distorted looks? If according to you, is your doping also a kind of distortion of appearance? ”
"You..!" Deputy Director Xie Ding slapped the table and stood up, and just as he was about to speak, Sima Qiu slapped the table fiercely and pressed him down.
Deputy Director Xie Ding snorted unconvinced, and said, "Director, I left my words here, I don't pass this column!" Don't pass! ”
Wang Jue really wanted to rush over and beat him, it was so annoying, the others hadn't spoken much, just this old bald lady said it vigorously.
Sima Qiu's face was as cold as a piece of ice, how could he say that Wang Jue was also invited by him, and he spoke so impulsively, if he didn't give Wang Jue face, he wouldn't give him face.
Sima Qiu patted the table, "Lao Zhang, who asked you if you could pass it?" ”
"I'm not asking for your opinion, I'm informing you!"
