Chapter 526: A New Realization
The U.S. branch of the company is located in Manhattan, New York, among the many high-rise buildings, this office area of several hundred square meters does not seem very special.
Although having your own office here could be a lifelong dream for many.
"Mr. Ye, I listened to your song yesterday, this is really a dream-like opening." Yang Yuanshan said excitedly, and introduced to Ye Luo, "This is the director and producer of "Music Rescue", Matt, about the details of the show, he wants to communicate with you again. ā
"Hello Mr. Ye." Matt is a middle-aged man in his fifties, somewhat fat and bearded.
Ye Luo nodded: "Hi, Matt." ā
"Because of the limited time, we only had 12 singers as candidates, and these singers had different characteristics." Matt said, "We did a pilot show, and three singers were almost enough. I don't know what genre Mr. Ye is best at? ā
Ye Luo smiled: "Matt, you don't have to worry about this, I can do any genre." You just need to use the effect of the show as the criterion to select the singers.
I have two built-in, first, choose the one with potential, the young, and the one with okay appearance. This is good for packaging and subsequent development. Second, choose the one that is miserable, the worse the better, which is conducive to the comparison between before and after. ā
"Okay." Matt said, "Mr. Ye, I think so, of course we don't do the audition. However, the singers selected in the preliminary selection of our program group will have a meeting with your judges, so that your judges, who are actually the audience, can understand their current situation.
What we're going to record today is this meet-and-greet.
Lawrence, our other judge, asked the singers, of course. His character is blackfaced, and even has a bit of a poisonous tongue.
Miss Qin, who is responsible for hearing the singer's misfortune, goes to comfort the singer, and she, as a woman, is kind-hearted. She's bound to frequently ask you to save the careers of these singers.
You can ask the singer some questions about the music profession and then finally decide whether to save it or not.
But we have a limited number of places, and in this trial broadcast, we will only save three, and we will do one issue to see the effect.
Of course, if the pilot review is approved and ordered by NBC, we will have more than three places in the first season, and the decision format will be different. They met and met again after a match session, and you came to the rescue in the quarterfinals. ā
"Yes." Ye Luo nodded.
"That's good." Matt said, "Let's get started right away." ā
ā¦ā¦
After that, for a whole week, Ye Luo recorded this show every day in the studio hall rented by Leshi.
Another judge, Lawrence, is a veteran actor and a frequent guest on American reality TV shows with a lot of experience.
He was nearly fifty years old. Hooked nose, thin lips. With the blue eyes of a falcon, just looking at the face gives people a sense of aggressiveness. When it comes to speaking, it is a little mean, but at the same time, it is to the point.
He and Qin Shiyue didn't have much work in this week, just to attend the meeting. Help Ye Luo determine the three singer candidates to participate in the pilot episode.
When the candidates are decided, they only need to be present when the new song is officially performed. The pilot episode, because it does not involve the competition, has no comments from the judges.
Everything else. It's all leaf fall.
If the final fate of this pilot episode is, in fact, it mainly depends on Ye Luo's skills.
Can it bring earth-shaking changes to these three singers and save their singer careers?
There were twelve singers at the meeting, each one was worse than the other, Ye Luo had to fight against his sympathy, hardened his heart, rejected nine singers, and only agreed to three singers.
Then he had to write three new songs for the three singers, and the final song arrangement, the stage effects, these were all his things.
This week also gave Ye Luo two completely different experiences from his previous life.
In his music career, he has always been on the uphill road, because he is very smooth and fast, which makes him feel that the road of music is a brilliant smooth road.
But in reality, this is not the case, and most of those who also have musical dreams, have a certain talent, and put in the effort to achieve it, in fact, do not succeed.
Ye Luo saw these singers and musicians struggling at the bottom, and he felt a lot in his heart.
This made him have more awe of music.
Another completely different experience is that Ye Luo rarely does things that he is not sure of, but this time, he is actually doing two things that he is not sure of at the same time.
First, it was the beauty company that completed the acquisition of Morgan Records within a month, and Ye Luo was not sure whether this would work or not.
Second, whether the pilot episode of the variety show led by himself can be recognized in terms of quality, Ye Luo is not sure, because this is not just a matter of music.
American TV programs often shoot pilot episodes first to judge whether the variety show or TV series has broadcast value and whether it can be accepted by the audience.
Once the test shows are filmed, they are first reviewed by the network's senior executives and experts, and then the original DVDs are distributed to a small number of journalists for evaluation, or small group viewing is organized.
Under normal circumstances, about a quarter of the programs or TV series that shoot pilot episodes can actually be filmed and broadcast in the end.
Therefore, getting the pilot broadcast qualification is only the first step in the long march.
Ye Luo doesn't know what the judging criteria are, he actually doesn't know much about the rules of reality shows, in short, the director gives creativity, he finishes it, whether it's okay or not, he doesn't count.
At the same time, two things that are not very sure are carried out, which makes Ye Luo experience the working state of ordinary people who have not been seen for a long time - for the sake of one percent possibility, it is necessary to work 100% hard.
This feeling makes Ye Luo feel very excited and excited, and he is very passionate about his work.
Hurry up, in a week, the filming of the pilot episode is completed, and the rest of the matter will not be in Ye Luo's hands.
This weekend, Ye Luo didn't want to worry about other things, because Chu Mo'er's summer vacation was coming to an end, and next Monday, Teacher Chu was going back to Juilliard for classes, and Ye Luo wanted to spend more time with her.
There are many ways to accompany Chu Mo'er. Ye Luo decided not to stay on the ship this time, and he was tired of staying every day.
He prepared some camping items, and went to the state forest park with Chu Mo'er, planning to visit Chaves, and then camp in the forest, with Chaves, a person who is familiar with the forest, to take care of him. Also safe.
After more than two hours of trekking with Chu Mo'er, the two knocked on the small wooden door of Chavis, and then the people inside made Ye Luo a little surprised.
Today, Hanguan and Kira are also there.
"I'm not here to dig corners." As soon as Han Guan saw Ye Luo, he immediately raised his hands, "I just accompanied Jenny over to see her cousin." ā
Ye Luo nodded, and then found that Chaves's face was not very good-looking, and he seemed to be very sad.
Jenny beside him. Kira also looked sad, apparently just crying.
"What's the situation?" Ye Luo asked in a low voice.
"Leaves fall. Miss Chu, let's go out first and give these two brothers and sisters a little time. Han Guan waved his hand.
The three of them walked out of the door again, and Han Guan explained: "His father, Jenny's uncle, died suddenly last night with a cerebral hemorrhage. ā
"Oh." Ye Luo nodded, "That's too unfortunate." ā
"yes." Han Guan sighed. Then he said to Chu Mo'er, "Miss Chu." Hello, long admired daimyo. ā
"Hello Mr. Han." Chu Mo'er replied.
Han Guan smiled at Chu Mo'er, and then said to Ye Luo: "Okay, last time, you played a majestic role with me, and I didn't care about you."
Say your beauty record. When will it be able to go to the next level?
Come up quickly, I'll deal with you." You're a mid-label now, and I'm embarrassed to bully you. ā
"It's better to be a chicken's mouth than a cow's queen. I'm at least the boss, and you'll be a part-time worker. What do you have to say? Ye Luo glanced at Han Guan, "You have very few works recently, what are you busy with?" ā
"What else can you do, woman." Han Guan said, "I didn't expect to meet you today, and I didn't prepare an invitation. On the fifteenth of next month, I get married, and I officially invite you and Miss Chu to my wedding. ā
"Okay." Ye Luo responded, "Mo'er and I will come then." ā
"That's good." Han Guan nodded.
"Mr. Han, where are you going to spend your honeymoon with Miss Kira?" Chu Mo'er asked at this time.
"Hehe, Miss Chu and Ye Luo are also good things, right?" Han Guan smiled understandingly, "But my life is hard, once the wedding is over, I have to participate in a TV show, plus the backlog of work from preparing for the wedding before, the honeymoon is out of play this year, let's make up for it next year, so I haven't taken the honeymoon location either."
It seems that I can only wait for Miss Chu and Mr. Ye to finish their honeymoon and then give me a reference. ā
"TV show?" Ye Luo asked, "What show?" A good original song in China? ā
"This is one of two invitations." Han Guan said with a smile, "But it's still early to have a good original song, and it will be the end of the year." It's about to start, it's American Idol. ā
"You're going to American Idol? You're going to be a player, right? Ye Luo laughed.
"Of course it's the judges." Han Guan glanced at Ye Luo, "You, do a good job in the United States." If you can become more famous before the end of the year, I can recommend you to the next season of American Idol. ā
"Being a judge?"
"Be a player." Han Guan replied with a salute and said, "To be serious, I built yƬ you beauty records, you can still go and participate, it doesn't hurt."
You see if this is good, this year's jury is full, but you can let the new singers that your record company wants to support to participate in this show.
As long as the strength is not bad, I can take care of it secretly.
The records of your beauties can't be played in the national market now, and the promotion medium of American idols is rolling.
I can take the singers who participated in the show as an opportunity to persuade the senior management of Rolling Time to start a certain cooperation with you, so that at least some of your records can be released worldwide. ā
"Han Guan, I appreciate your kindness." Ye Luo shook his head, "But I have my own way to break into the global market." ā
"That's up to you." Han Guan smiled indifferently. (To be continued......)
