Chapter 3 The First Goal

Because of the support of the TV station and the provision of a large budget, the preparation of the program was quite smooth. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

It is expected that in another half a month, the studio will be renovated.

But for the program team, the most difficult part is not these basic work, but how to choose the singers to participate.

When it comes to Park Jung-hyuk, it is not a question of who to choose to star, but how to convince the singer he likes.

As a person who has been reborn, Park Jung-hyuk is of course deeply impressed by "I Am a Singer". And the singers who starred at the beginning, he is also clear.

But how to start, this made it more difficult for him.

After all, these people are not young idols, nor are they artists who urgently need to be famous, but all of them are big things that have been famous for a long time.

In the face of these great names, what kind of strategy should be formulated is what he needs to focus on.

Because it is a professional music program, it needs to have a professional consultant.

So under the chairmanship of Park Jung-hyuk, the program formed an advisory board.

MBC helped the program team to send invitations to the industry, and finally established a very professional and excellent consultant team.

"PD, the photography company has already contacted us. According to the agreement, they will provide us with 20 VJs and about 30 cameras. You see, when are we going to start recording? ”

Park Jung-hyuk thought about it and suddenly had an idea.

"Let's start recording right away, don't you have to discuss it with the advisory board. This is where our recording begins. ”

"Do you want to start now?" Jin Youkun was taken aback.

"Of course, the content of the show should be richer." Park Jung-hyuk already had a concept and did not delay at all.

The meeting was held at the Dream Center, where the production team and the advisory board came together for the first discussion.

Don't look at this advisory board that doesn't appear on the show much, but every one of them is definitely the backbone of the Korean music industry.

Jang Ki-ho and Lee Seung-hwan, professors of the Department of Practical Music, Ahn Hye-lan and Nam Tae-jung, radio PDs, Cho Young-so, Lee Ho-sub and Yoon Il-sang, pop columnist/critic Kim Tae-hoon, musical theater director Jang So-young, opera troupe director/soprano Kim Hee-jung, etc., are all leading figures in various fields.

At the beginning of the meeting, Park Jung-hyuk told everyone the purpose of the show.

"It's not like there's no show that introduces good music. Yes, yes, but most of them were squeezed into the middle of the night. That's why our goal is to create a moving music stage in prime time. ”

His words made the faces of the advisers all fly, and everyone agreed with him.

At present, South Korea's prime-time programs have all been occupied by reality shows and entertainment.

It's definitely a sad fact for those of them who have a career in music.

It's just that there are no problems, even if Park Jung-hyuk is reborn, he needs to listen to everyone's opinions.

"But it's not enough to rely on the show to be attractive in prime time."

He gave a clear category, that is, the program should not be limited to traditional music programs in the past.

"In my judgment, it's not attractive enough. If we want to fight for group survival, we have developed the program format in this form. The last place, which is also the seventh, will be replaced by other singers the following week. I don't know what everyone thinks? ”

For his idea, Nan Taijing PD gave a positive affirmation.

"I agree with the intention itself. However, those singers should have come to the competition with all their self-esteem. Will it be acceptable to replace this option? ”

Sure enough, he was also doing PD, and he immediately saw the most difficult part of this show to be accepted by the performers.

"It is estimated that the parties may interpret the word replacement as elimination, and there will be a lot of worries."

In this regard, composer Lee Ho-sub has a different view.

"In fact, here, if they are eliminated, it will really be a fatal injury to them. But that's what makes us so appealing. I can't give up on that, and I think I have to be ruthless no matter what. The more determined we are, the more we can make waves in the music and media circles. ”

His words made everyone laugh, and Park Jung-hyuk also gave him a thumbs up.

In fact, this is also Park Jung-hyuk's understanding of this show. He does not intend to give up on this, even without the advice of the advisers.

Not only do you not give up, but on the contrary, you have to do it more ruthlessly.

Cho Young-so also holds the same view.

"It's cruel, but it's the way most people love it. If you look at it as a focus, it's a good way to get people interested in the show. ”

Park Jung-hyuk has collaborated with him on songs, so Cho Young-so still understands Park Jung-hyuk's approach.

"Because they're not new singers, instead of competing with their singing skills, I think we can consider giving tasks to solve the problem." Director Zhang Suying gave a solution idea.

Professor Jang Ki-ho said, "For example, I combine a song like Arirang with my own musical philosophy, and reinterpret it with my own unique style in line with my own singing style. If you do that, the song can be like this from the public's point of view, and it will be this kind of fun. Even if it was eliminated, it was not all because of the singer's own mistakes. ”

Park Jung-hyuk gave a brief summary of his views.

"Experiencing the charm of music transformation is not based on the singer's individual singing ability."

Such an incisive summary also won the sincere applause of the consultants.

Writer Kim Tae-hoon is of the same opinion.

"They're not new singers, so the thrill of crossing music genres and adapting songs is something that I think will be a very stable composition."

With so many interpretations, Park Jung-hyuk found that his understanding of the show had also improved to a higher level.

In fact, the explanations given by these consultants are very in place, and they also express the essence of "I am a singer".

But later in the process of recording, there were still a lot of problems, and even made the audience doubt the public nature of the show.

In his opinion, the biggest problem is that the production team is not in place in terms of guidance.

The PD in the previous life may have paid too much attention to the tension of the show, so he did a lot of flattering in terms of rankings.

As a result, the singers and the audience have completely lost the fun of enjoying music, and it is completely regarded as a competition of strength.

Eventually, there will be situations where the singers are overstressed, quit one after another, and get sick.

Thinking of this, Park Jung-hyuk secretly made up his mind.

In the process of producing a program, it is important to try to downplay the atmosphere of competition and highlight the purpose of enjoying music.

At the same time, we must adhere to the inherent principles and do not consider any human feelings.

Only in this way can "I Am a Singer" go further and better.

Perhaps because of experience, Yin Rishang burst out of inspiration and made a vivid and appropriate metaphor for "I Am a Singer".

"We can think of this as the musical 'Infinite Challenge'."

Everyone agreed with his point of view, and also set the tone for "I Am a Singer".

The good help he received from the advisory committee gave Park Jung-hyuk a boost of confidence.

So he set the first PR goal on the national singer Kim Modeling, who seemed to be the most difficult.

Among the original contestants of "I Am a Singer", although they are all amazing and powerful singers. But if you want to say the person with the biggest wrist, it must be Jin Modeling.

As the holder of the Guinness Korean record for single album sales in Korea to date, Kim Maeong is a well-deserved top singer.

If you can pull this person into the program of "I Am a Singer", then it is equivalent to half the success.

With this in mind, Park Jung-hyuk quietly came to the floor where the radio program was located.

It wasn't until the end of the show that the people inside came out that he greeted him.

And seeing that he had waited for so long, the people who came out were even more panicked.

"Eh, it's Park Jung-hyuk PD. What's the matter, just a phone call, how can you make a special trip to wait? ”

In the face of this easy-going old man, Park Jung-hyuk did not dare to pretend to be a big name.

"Pei Zhexiu's predecessor is my idol, it is my honor to be able to watch you do the show with my own eyes."

MBC's most popular PD are so complimentary, which makes Pei Zhexiu smile.

"Hahaha, it would be my honor to be able to appear in Park PD's show."

Bae Zhexiu is a veteran and famous singer in South Korea, and he is a real super senior. is a singer of the same era as him, but Li Wenshi is at this level.

So in the face of such a person, it is better than Park Jung-hyuk to be respectful.

Not to mention him, even the director of the MBC Arts Bureau does not dare to be arrogant.

The two exchanged a few words before Park Jung-hyuk explained his purpose.

"Senior, that's it. I'm currently going to create a show about music on Sundays, and I want to invite Kim to star in it. So I want to ask you for the contact information of the predecessors of Jin Modeling, I don't know if it's convenient? ”

"Well, of course it's convenient. This is as it should be, and it is my honor to be able to help Park PD. It would be even better if I could star in it. ”

Hearing that Park Jung-hyuk was going to create a music program in prime time on Sunday, Bae Cheol-so suddenly became interested.

Such a senior wants to star, and Park Jung-hyuk is naturally happy.

"Really? Can seniors also star? Competing with singers like Kim Modeling, Baek Ji-young, Kim Beom-so, and Park Jung-hyun? ”

"Do you want to compete? Compete with a singer of this level as you said? Are there no judges or anything like that? ”

Pei Zhexiu was taken aback.

Good guy, listen to a few people mentioned by Park Jung-hyuk, what kind of singers are they?

If he were twenty years younger, he would still have that ambition.

It's just that he's sixty or seventy years old now, and he's sweating when he's panting.

Competing on the same stage with these monster-level singers, exhausting him to death is just a fate of elimination.

In this regard, Park Jung-hyuk could only smile awkwardly.

"Hehe, the judges are all spectators."

He was embarrassed, and Bae Zhexiu was even more embarrassed.

"Uh...... Hahaha...... Oh, then I'll be a spectator too. ”

Knowing the threshold of the show, this is the only option he can choose.

In the end, Bae Cheol-so gave him the contact information of Kim Modeling, and also gave up his plan to act.

The old man is too old to do such an intense activity. (To be continued.) )
