Chapter 430: The Voice of China

The morning after the annual meeting of the Taiwanese company, Chen Lang and Chen's father prepared to return to Hong Kong.

Zheng Zhenkun came to Chen Lang's hotel early, and in addition to seeing him off, he also brought the option transfer agreement.

Chen Lang took the agreement and signed it without the slightest hesitation, and Zheng Zhenkun, who was standing on the side, also nodded secretly at Chen Lang's move, and was very satisfied with Chen Lang's successor.

"Mr. Zheng came so early, he must not have had breakfast yet, let's eat together." Chen Lang and the three of them were in the hotel's restaurant at this time.

"It's true that you're not full, so I'm welcome." Zheng Zhenkun said with a smile when he heard this.

After just a few bites, Zheng Zhenkun asked Chen Lang, "Lang Lang, can you reveal a little bit about your planning for the rookie singer contest to me first." ”

Looking at the curious Zheng Zhenkun, Chen Lang laughed helplessly, Chen Lang understood Zheng Zhenkun's importance to rookie singers, because Chen Lang understood the ambition in his heart.

Seeing that Zheng Zhenkun, who is not young, is so anxious, Chen Lang said, "I know that Mr. Zheng and many people in the company are people who really love music and understand music, so everyone may be more interested in the singer's voice than the singer's appearance." ”

"A beautiful appearance can indeed make a singer more attractive, but the real charm of being a singer is his voice." Zheng Zhenkun nodded.

"Indeed, the most important thing for a singer is undoubtedly his singing voice, but although all singer talent shows now also fancy the strength of singers, newcomers with outstanding appearance often take more advantage, which makes many singers with average appearance often eliminated if they can't even enter the finals or even the semifinals." Chen Lang nodded when he heard this.

"Although the singer talent contest selects singers with outstanding voices, at least those who can be famous or stand on the stage in everyone's hearts will not be ugly, handsome men and beautiful women are of course more popular with everyone, and these singers will also be more conducive to the company's packaging in the future, and they can also increase the ratings of the program." Zheng Zhenkun nodded with deep feeling.

has been mixed in the Taiwanese music scene for more than ten years, and Zheng Zhenkun naturally knows a lot about the twists and turns.

"So, this is contrary to the requirements of our musicians at Haishan Rolling Stone Records, so I was thinking about how to completely prevent appearance from affecting the judges and the audience, and all the contestants only decide the final ranking through their voices." Chen Lang said with deep meaning in his eyes.

"Completely unaffected by appearance? It's unlikely, but just a glance at it will always make an impression. Zheng Zhenkun shook his head.

"What if all the judges had their backs to the singer when they came on stage?" Chen Lang said with a smile.

"With your back to the singer? How can this work, how can the judges not see the singer...... Well, you can't see the singer's appearance when you turn your back to the contestant, and then you only judge by your voice! Zheng Zhenkun himself instantly understood what Chen Lang meant when he was halfway through speaking.

Looking at Zheng Zhenkun, whose eyes were wide open, and his father, who was also very surprised, Chen Lang nodded.

"In my vision, before the singer goes on stage, all the judges have their backs to the stage, facing the audience, the singer sings in the center of the stage, and the judges can't see the singer, they can only make their own judgment based on the singer's singing voice and the audience's reaction." Chen Lang explained with a smile.

"It's a really whimsical idea." When Zheng Zhenkun heard this idea, he only felt that his brain was open, and the singer draft could still be done like this.

"In addition to that, I would like to add a mentorship system." Chen Lang squinted his eyes and said with a smile.

"Mentorship? Is it for the contestants to be a teacher? Father Chen, who was on the side, couldn't help but ask when he heard this.

"If you are a teacher, many judges may not agree, after all, once you agree, the future will be involved, and famous music superstars and musicians cherish feathers very much." Zheng Zhenkun frowned.

"It's not the kind of master you think is a teacher for a day and a father for life, just give some guidance, the tutor can give some guidance to the students' singing skills and song selection according to their singing skills and years of experience, so that the students can be more professional, can continue to improve and better play their own strength." Chen Lang explained.

"If that's all there is to it, it should be fine. But Lang Lang, do you mean to divide the team? Each judge, no, should the instructor choose his own mentees and then compete with each other? Zheng Zhenkun asked uncertainly.

"Yes, we prepare a swivel chair for each instructor that can rotate freely, and if the singer on the stage touches the mentor, the mentor will turn his chair to show that he recognizes the performance of the contestant, and then the contestant will become a student who turns the mentor."

"What if a few mentors turn around together?" Father Chen asked.

"Hehe, this is also a major attraction of this talent show I think, at the beginning, it was the mentor who chose the students, if there is more than one mentor who turns, then it will become the student who chooses the teacher, and in order to allow the students to choose themselves, then the mentors have to use their best skills to attract the students, break the news between each other, quarrel, jealousy, etc., the open and secret battles between the mentors will also become a major highlight of the show." Chen Lang explained with a smile.

"And then? Anything else? Zheng Zhenkun's eyes became brighter and brighter when he heard this, and he asked eagerly and excitedly.

"When the first stage of selection is over, each mentor has found their own students, and then the mentor will give them some guidance to their students, and then they will continue to compete, that is, elimination. This competition is fought within each mentor team and between mentor teams until the champion is determined. Chen Lang continued.

"The adoption of the blind selection system, the two-way choice between the student and the tutor, and the jealousy between the tutor and the tutor, is really eye-opening." Zheng Zhenkun's face was full of admiration, but he also frowned.

Because this unprecedented draft model, although novel, there are still some doubts about whether it can expand the influence of the Haishan Rolling Stones draft.

"Of course, these are just rough processes, and if you really want to do this show well, you must have a complete plan, 100% execution and huge investment." Chen Lang seemed to see Zheng Zhenkun's doubts.

It's just that Chen Lang knows the popularity of "The Voice of China" in his previous life, so he is full of confidence.

"The Voice of China - thevoiceofchina", in the previous life, was a large-scale inspirational professional music review program created by Zhejiang Satellite TV and Canxing Production, a subsidiary of Star Media, which originated from the Dutch program "thevoiceofholland", which was officially broadcast on Zhejiang Satellite TV on July 13, 2012.

As soon as the show was broadcast, it became popular all over the streets and alleys overnight, and it is not an exaggeration to describe it as "popular", Zhejiang Satellite TV also turned over in one fell swoop with "The Voice", becoming the leader among all David TV, and even the former boss Hunan Satellite TV's ace program "Happy Camp" was overshadowed by it.

In the era of the information explosion in the previous life, various talent shows and variety shows emerged one after another, and this "The Voice of China" can still detonate the whole of China, and its charm can be imagined.

And now it's only the early 80s, at this time, Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan don't even have the Internet, everyone has very few entertainment methods, and there are few excellent variety shows I've seen except for "Happy Tonight".

Therefore, Chen Lang believes that this novel show will definitely achieve greater success, of course, this must be perfectly replicated.

"If we want to do a good job in this show, attract more potential new singers to participate, and at the same time bring high ratings to Taiwan TV, I think we must do at least four things.

The first point is the luxurious lineup of instructors and the top production level. I'm going to hire four big names to be mentors, and these four mentors need to have the strength that the vast majority of people recognize, and preferably have a strong appeal.

First of all, we need to let everyone know that our show has a strong lineup before it starts, and even if it is to see four mentors, we have to attract a large audience.

Secondly, the setting of the stage, the sound control equipment and recording equipment on the scene must be the world's top, and the live band must be professional and excellent enough.

The second point, starting our slogan, is to find a good voice. The search for a good voice in the competition should be the first element. For singing, a good, beautiful voice is a prerequisite for selection, and the voice of the contestant is the first criterion.

Whether beautiful or ugly, tall or short, fat or thin, in the city or countryside, or even disabled, as long as there is a good voice that can move people, you can come to this stage and show your singing voice.

The third point is a professional attitude and the transmission of 'positive energy'. Professionalism is a serious attitude, whether it is a student, or a mentor, a host, or even an accompaniment band and on-site equipment, we must be professional, and we must make this show with our hearts.

Fourth, do a good job in propaganda work. Now is no longer the era when the fragrance of wine is not afraid of deep alleys, we have to publicize it widely, let more people know about our program, let everyone know our four mentors, let everyone know that the label of our program is large-scale, inspirational, moving, good voice, etc., and do our best to expand the popularity of the program. ”

"It seems that it is not easy to do a good job in this show, but I believe that if we can do these four things, it will definitely make the show popular." Zheng Zhenkun said with emotion when he heard this.

"It's true that you need to do a lot of preparation to do this, otherwise you won't be able to make the show perfect." Father Chen also said sincerely.

Of course, Chen Lang knows that it is not easy to do this, and every point needs to be 100% completed, and at the same time, he has to avoid the criticism of "The Voice of China" in his previous life.

In the previous life, this show was criticized because there were too many advertisements, especially the advertisements in the finals, which made the audience particularly dissatisfied, and Chen Lang in the previous life was a member of the dissatisfied army.

There is also a deliberate fake of the player's growth experience in order to win everyone's sympathy and attract everyone's attention, but the audience is not stupid, and many of the overly obvious fabrications make everyone feel deceived and disgusted at the same time.

How to perfectly replicate the success of "The Voice of China" in his previous life, while avoiding similar controversial points, was Chen Lang's biggest problem when writing this plan.
