Chapter 46: Returning the Favor

Zhou Yimin was surrounded by congratulatory people, and Lin Youlun didn't go up to join in the fun, but just stood aside with his hands in hand.

"I thought you kid slipped away in advance, so you were hiding here." Huang Zhan appeared out of nowhere and patted Lin Youlun on the shoulder, startling him.

There was also Gu Jiahui who came with Huang Zhan, and when they met, Lin Youlun shouted "Brother Hui", but Huang Zhan was not happy.

"He is eight years older than me, you call him Brother Hui but call me Uncle Zhan, am I as old as you say?"

"Whether it's writing essays or filling in words, you are seniors, I respect you before I call you Uncle Zhan, okay?" Lin Youlun replied angrily.

Huang Zhan then said: "Then I beg you, don't 'respect' me so much in the future, you call Uncle Zhan one by one, everyone will think I'm old, in fact, I'm only 43 years old this year, okay?" ”

Lin Youlun immediately replied: "You are more than 20 years older than me, and others will think that I am also old." ”

Gu Jiahui stood aside with a smile, watching Lin Youlun and Huang Zhan, two great talents, bickering, it was a lot of fun.

Huang Zhan couldn't say that Lin Youlun couldn't do it, but he refused to admit defeat so easily, and insisted on pulling Lin Youlun to the wine table to decide the winner.

Gu Jiahui saw that Lin Youlun was waiting for Zhou Yimin, so he persuaded Huang Zhan and said, "You see that Alun is not giving up now, even if you win, you can't show your ability." I think I'd better drink this wine another day. ”

Huang Zhan felt that Gu Jiahui was reasonable, so he made another appointment with Lin Youlun. Huang Zhan threatened to drink Lin Youlun down at the wine table, so he left first with Gu Jiahui.

As soon as the two left, Fang Yihua's Ah Hao appeared.

He approached Lin Youlun's side, lowered his head and whispered, "Mr. Lin, is it convenient to take a step to speak?" ”

Lin Youlun glanced at the stage and found that the shadow of the wireless executives and Run Run Shaw had disappeared from the crowd.

Ah Hao led Lin Youlun to a lounge backstage, where Shao Daheng was waiting, leaving Fang Yihua alone by his side.

Shaw was a tall, thin old man with gray hair and glasses, not much different from what Lin Youlun had seen in the photo. The sixth uncle is seventy-seven years old this year, but his spirit is still strong, his complexion is very good, he holds Lin Youlun's hand tightly, and he always looks kind with a smile.

"Lin Sheng, we finally met."

Shaw behaved very kindly and easy-going, but Lin Youlun's attitude was unusually respectful.

"I'm just a post-natal boy who sells tickets in the video hall, and it's a great honor to be able to enter the eyes of the sixth uncle, and I came here today to listen to the teachings of the sixth uncle."

Run Run Shaw waved his hand, "Young people don't be presumptuous, I followed my brother to Singapore to develop the film market at your age penniless, and you have now earned a net worth of 10 million, how many young people in Hong Kong dare to say that they are better than you?" ”

Lin Youlun said a few words modestly, but Run Run Shaw then said: "Lin Sheng is a person who does great things, if the Shaw Brothers can have a talent like you, it will not let Xiaoxiao run rampant!" ”

Run Run Shaw's intention to recruit Lin Youlun is already very obvious, and Lin Youlun can't say anything about it anymore if he pretends to be confused.

"Sixth Uncle is not afraid that I will become the next Zou Wenhuai?"

Run Run Shaw stared at Lin Youlun for a long time, and then shook his head helplessly, "You are more ambitious than Zou Wenhuai, but Zou Wenhuai is not as frank as you, but I underestimate you." ”

Lin Youlun changed back to the respectful junior before, "Sixth Uncle praised it falsely. ”

"In the future, it is the world of you young people, and it is really not attractive for an old man of mine to tell you this, so let's talk about something else." Run Run Shaw was a little excited, "What do you think of the Rookie Singing Contest?" ”

"The biggest drawback of this competition is the lack of star-making ability, and the randomness of popular singers is too great, the first Anita Mui and the second Lu Fang are a good comparison, Anita Mui is very successful, but Lu Fang is more than one step behind." …,

Lin Youlun's statement was the first time Run Run Shaw heard about it, and he immediately became a little interested, "Then do you have any solutions?" ”

"Change the schedule settings to attract more people to participate and follow; Change the way of judging, introduce the market and the audience to participate in the judging. Based on the experience of some singing talent shows in later generations, Lin Youlun pointed out the two biggest shortcomings of the rookie singing competition.

Run Run Shaw was still seriously considering Lin Youlun's words, but Fang Yihua beside him couldn't help but ask: "Does Lin Sheng have a more specific solution?" ”

Seeing that Run Run Shaw also raised his eyes to look over, Lin Youlun concisely explained some of the processes of the singing talent show in later generations:

"Hong Kong is so big, the competition will be divided into districts first, and the champions and runners-up of each division will gather together for the finals, so the competition schedule is best set up into two parts: 'regional selection' and 'annual finals'."

"The regional selection competition is divided into audition, re-selection and qualification. The threshold for the audition must be low, as long as anyone who has the desire to sing can participate. The reason for this group of people to participate is not to hope that they can find potential singers, but to attract more people to this competition through their participation. The most important thing is to select singers with potential and those who have little potential but have unique performances and can attract the attention of the audience, the former for the quality of the singing competition, and the latter to improve the ratings of the singing competition. In the final promotion competition, truly powerful singers are selected to participate in the annual finals. ”

"In the traditional singing competition, the results of the contestants are determined by the judges, but the selection of professional judges does not fully represent the preferences of the market and the audience, and there are many examples of contestants singing very well but not becoming popular, so the judges can not only be played by professional musicians, but also the marketing department of the record company must also participate, so as to measure the comprehensive strength of a singer. Another is to introduce the audience evaluation mechanism, in the finals, you can print some votes in the newspaper, let the public cut down and vote for their favorite contestants, and the number of off-site votes of the singer is also used as a part of the measurement of results, public support plus expert review opinions, so that the selected singers are the most in line with the needs of the market. ”

Lin Youlun talked very carefully, and explained almost the entire operation process of the game, Run Run Shaw and Fang Yihua listened very carefully, Shao Tycoon nodded from time to time, and Miss Fang's eyes were even more colorful.

The biggest highlight of Lin Youlun's plan is that he closely combines the singing competition with the ratings of the TV station, and the singing competition is no longer simply to select singers for the record company, but also to drive the ratings of the TV station.

Wireless provided Zhou Yimin with a loose artist contract, and Lin Youlun reciprocated the favor and gave this gift, which can be regarded as laying the foundation for further cooperation between the two parties in the future.
