Chapter Twenty-Nine: Brainstorming
In the spacious office, Hong Guang had just finished the live recording and was sitting on the sofa smoking in the most comfortable posture, when there was a knock on the door outside the office, so Hong Guang said: "Come in." ”
As soon as the words fell, the door of the office was pushed open, and Meng Chao, with the cooperation of the staff, came to Hong Guang.
"Hello Director Hong."
As a junior in the circle, Meng Chao has some of the humility he deserves, after so many years in the entertainment industry, Meng Chao has seen too many popular stars suddenly refrigerated, framed, and even unable to do his own job, so he can only leave Yanjing in a gloomy manner, the reason is nothing more than being too arrogant, and no one in his eyes when he becomes popular, and finally offends the characters who cannot be offended!
So even if he has been getting better and better in recent times, Meng Chao still has his humility as a young junior in the face of CCTV executives who have the power of life and death in the entertainment industry, but his attitude is polite, but he can't be servile in his bones, otherwise he won't be respected by others, but he will be looked down upon.
Hong Guang was also very polite, stood up and shook hands with Meng Chao and said: "Producer Meng is really young and talented, just now I was talking to several TV leaders, with you Meng Chao joining our Youth Innovation Competition, you will definitely be able to increase a lot of ratings." ”
Meng Chao smiled and said: "Director Hong is too award-winning, the Youth Innovation Competition can invite such a luxurious list of judges, and the ratings will naturally win a new high. ”
Hong Guang waved his hand and said: "That's not the case, the stage is beautiful, and the singer must perform well to be able to hold the scene, in other words, you are the soul of the show, and I still have to affirm that you are supervised by Meng." ”
Although Meng Chao is still young, after all, he has a film company, and there is a new movie that is being screened and has caused a lot of topics, so Meng Chao is becoming more and more accustomed to the title of producer.
At the moment, he didn't correct Hong Guang, but said with a smile: "Then thank you Director Hong for your compliment, but then again, CCTV's decision to hold the Youth Innovation Competition this time is indeed big enough, and only announced the list of four judges in advance, just Zhang Guorong, Liang Jiahui, and the Xu brothers The four judges have already made me want to move, and finally I couldn't help but participate, I didn't expect that there are six superstars who are also popular with half the sky, and it is estimated that many viewers will be frightened when it is broadcast." ”
Hong Guang also laughed when he heard this: "This is also the face of the TV station is big enough!" ”
Meng Chao echoed: "That's." ”
"Producer Meng is a rare genius in the industry, I don't know if you have any suggestions for our show?"
Hong Guang's sudden words made Meng Chao stunned, when he was originally backstage, he also mentioned to Zhou Huimin that if the show was operated by him, he would definitely use the rules flexibly, so that singers could find someone to cooperate in creating songs, so that they would not only have the name of original songs, but also would not waste those singers who have good voices but no creative talent, making the show more interesting.
So when Hong Guang really asked, Meng Chao thought for a moment and said: "I don't dare to say that I don't dare to say anything, but I can talk about my personal feelings, I feel that although the program team has given the judges absolute power of life and death, the rules of the program group make it difficult for the judges to decide whether to stay or not." ”
"What do you mean by that?"
Seeing that Hong Guang became interested, Meng Chao immediately said: "Actually, the original intention of the program group is good, and now the drafts of many local TV stations outside are basically to select young singers with good image and singing skills, which can arouse the interest of many young people, so that they can continue to pay attention to the program, but there are more of the same drafts, and the audience will naturally be diverted a lot. And there may be some viewers who will question CCTV's model of copying other TV stations, I think this should be the reason why CCTV chose to hold a singer-songwriter competition, right? ”
Hong Guang nodded and said: "Yes, this show was decided by the director himself, and the purpose is to select absolute idols who have both creative talent, good voice, and even a good image!" ”
Meng Chao retorted slightly: "Let me summarize briefly, what I want to choose in the end is a singer with a good voice in China plus good music in China and a good image in China, right?" ”
Hong Guang saw Meng Chao's very interesting summary, and couldn't help but agree: "You can also say so." ”
So Meng Chao asked rhetorically: "Then Director Hong, I want to ask you, how many such singers can there be?" Let's just say that in the current music scene, there are naturally singers with a good image and a good voice, but to put it bluntly, a good image is a handsome beauty, there are a few handsome guys and beauties who are talented, and people can eat with their faces, okay? Writing songs is a very boring thing, a real idol and a music superstar with both strength, who would endure such boredom and not opening concerts, not making records, not acting in film and television dramas, and thanklessly running to write songs? ”
Meng Chao's words made Hong Guangmao pause, and at the same time smiled: "To be honest, there are still geniuses who can have both, such as Brother Meng, but you are right, such geniuses can only be a few after all, it seems that our path has gone astray!" ”
Meng Chao waved his hand and said: "Actually, it's not too off, Director Hong is right, such characters are relatively rare, so I'm sure the judges are also thinking from such a standpoint, if I'm afraid that the standards are too harsh, those who will be left to the end will be able to create but can't sing, or both, but they can't live with the audience, this is not the person who the Youth Innovation Competition wants to select, right?" Therefore, the ten judges and teachers have such a tacit understanding, they have left both those who can sing and those who can create, but they are afraid that if they are too strict, they will not be able to watch the show until the finals! ”
Hong Guang can imagine what Meng Chao said, if the final top ten is recorded, there are a few singers with good singing and good image, but the others are only good songs, singers with cold looks and scary voices, then there is still a hairy look in the finals?
If the final strength of the singers in the finals is not equal, the audience will be bored to watch, that's for sure!
At this time, Hong Guang couldn't help but ask shamelessly: "So according to Brother Meng's idea, is it better to find someone to write a few original songs for those singers who can sing and have a good image, or temporarily help those singers who can create but can't sing, or even let them combine in pairs, one will quit the competition and achieve the other?" ”
