This Saturday and Sunday is a key turning point for the program "Top Ten Selections", and it is the most critical node for it to transform from an ordinary competition singing program to the originator of talent singing programs.

In the current issue of the Shencheng Evening News, which began at 3 p.m. on Sunday, an article was quietly published in the style section. Its title is familiar: "Dream Stage - What Entertainment Do We Really Need?" If you don't look at the headline of this topic, the subtitle below is almost the same as the article criticizing the "Top Ten Selections" two days ago. But in terms of content, these two articles are completely at odds with each other.

The publication of this article laid the theoretical foundation for the title of the program "Top Ten Selections" as the originator of TV talent shows around the world.

――――――――――

The article begins with the question: friends, do you have a dream? Or have you ever had a dream?

Next, the article directly asks: If you have a dream, have you worked hard for this dream?

Then, the article asks for the third time: if there is an opportunity in front of you now, and all you need is to cross that threshold that does not exist, what would you think? Is it the courage to raise your legs and step over? Or stop in front of this threshold that doesn't exist?

After a series of three questions, focusing on the theme of "dream" and "struggle", the article takes the production of the program "Top Ten Selections" as the starting point, and discusses the program "Top Ten Selections" in detail from four aspects: "no threshold", "national participation", "dramatic conflict between reality and accidents" and "dreams come true".

――――――――――

"Top Ten Selections" does not set any entry threshold for participating contestants, which is impossible in previous singing competition programs. The four things it proposes in the competition system, "no matter what appearance, no matter how you sing, no matter how you sing, and no matter what school you come from", completely broke the high threshold of previous singing competitions, provided unprecedented opportunities for those students with dreams and talents, and also greatly improved their enthusiasm for participation. The sparks of enthusiasm from these players will also be the original spark that ignites the audience's enthusiasm for watching.

It is not enough to have no threshold or low threshold for participation, and without the enthusiastic participation of the audience, it is impossible for "Top Ten Selection" to go further. Therefore, Ye Zi focused on this issue when designing the competition system. In this day and age, there are no text messages and no internet, but newspapers and telephones can completely replace the role they play. The setting of newspaper ballots and telephone voting allowed the audience to decide the winner of the contestant for the first time. This will greatly stimulate the audience's enthusiasm to watch and participate in this program.

On this issue, Ye Zi has some different opinions with the organizing committee and the TV station. Ye Zi hopes to truly put the right to make decisions in the hands of the audience, while the TV station and the organizing committee believe that the final decision power must be in their own hands. The two sides have discussed this many times, and the final compromise plan is that the expert review of the decision power accounts for 40%, and the audience votes for 60%. Although such a ratio can never prevent the organizing committee from secretly manipulating the rankings, it is much better than the reverse or the other way around. Besides, if you need to manipulate the ranking, Ye Zi must also be one of the beneficiaries, no matter how insistent he is, he is really a little ignorant.

At that time, Zhou Fang and Ye Ying had strangely asked him why he must insist on designing the competition system as it is now, but Ye Zi did not answer. Ye Zi, who has seen the various manipulations of the talent show in the previous life, will of course seek a relatively fair and transparent competition system as much as possible in the program designed by himself in this life. As one of the ultimate beneficiaries of this show, Ye Zi sometimes feels confused by his choice, but if he doesn't insist on this, he still can't pass the barrier in his heart after all.

With the lowest entry threshold and the enthusiasm of the whole people, this show has the cornerstone of success. Then, if you can add the interaction between the contestants and the judges, the show will definitely be more interesting. This is also something that has never been seen in previous competition singing programs.

As passive and active parties, there is naturally opposition and conflict between the contestants and the judges. And "Top Ten Selections" puts this pair of antagonists directly in front of the audience, allowing the two sides of the contradiction to directly confront and have direct dialogue. Because of this, there will be a sparkling conversation between Li Aoxiang and Ni Jun on Saturday night in the show, and the audience will also be deeply attracted by such a show with a great "sense of reality and unexpected dramatic conflict".

For the contestants, the title of "Top Ten Singers of Shencheng Universities" is the goal they are chasing in this selection. In order to attract more students to participate in this selection, Ye Zi suggested that the organizing committee set up a bonus, from 5,000 yuan for the first place to 1,000 yuan for the tenth place. Although such a prize money cannot be compared with the "Shen Yuexiang Singer Competition", it is already a lot of wealth for college students.

Until now, Ye Zi is still discussing with Zhou Fang, hoping to persuade a record company to sign a contract with the top three award-winning contestants, so that the sensational effect of this selection will be greater, and the enthusiasm of the contestants and the audience will be even higher. Signing a contract, becoming famous, and becoming a star is a dream that almost any young person has ever had, and this is also the most popular thing for viewers in front of the TV, not to mention that they are now personally involved in such things.

Unfortunately, there has been no progress at all. In this era, record companies are still basically state-owned, and it is a little too difficult for them to make such a decision.

Ye Zi's own company is still too weak, otherwise this is definitely a good deal.

――――――――――

Of course, it is not possible to analyze all the issues as thoroughly as mentioned above, but the basic elements are clear.

Li Aoxiang's sharp writing and Deng Lijun's rigorous logic are fused together, and this article is meticulous and atmospheric, the discussion is reasonable and well-founded, and the writing is unbridled, which is definitely a rare and good article.

As soon as this article was published in the Shencheng Evening News, it immediately provided a theoretical basis for supporting readers who liked the "Top Ten Selections". With theoretical support, they are even more welcome and like the show "Top Ten Selections". The ratings are rising, and that's a matter of course.

――――――――――

In the fifth episode of the program on Sunday night, the ratings directly jumped to a super high figure of 59.5%, and the peak ratings have reached 80%, the highest value of the year. This kind of ratings is ten percentage points higher than the second place that night, and this first place is really well deserved. Even if Zhu Chen and Zhou Fang's bet contract is still counting, Zhou Fang and the show "Top Ten Selections" are still the final winners.

Since the start of the program, the undercurrent frenzy of the "Top Ten Selections" program and Zhou Fang, the director of the Literature and Art Department, has been completely and completely reversed under the rising ratings and the audience's higher and higher evaluation.

In the future, as long as there are no accidents, the popularity of the show "Top Ten Selection" has become inevitable. Zhou Fang, as the director of the literary and artistic department of the TV station that produced this program, her future will of course be bright.

As for the winner company that has always been creating pressure on Ye Ying after the first episode of the program, it contacted Ye Ying again after the fifth episode of the program was broadcast. They took the initiative to pay half of the unpaid fees in advance, leaving only 25% of the contracted fees as a deposit, which they would pay after the show was all broadcast. The other party's low profile made Ye Ying too addicted to "high ratings is God".

――――――――――

The popularity of the show "Top Ten Selections" has also created a large number of outstanding contestants, who have gradually become the darlings of the audience.

For example, Liu Qi, he was the first player to be fully accepted by the audience, and the audience was extremely impressed by him; For example, Zhu Xuewen, although he was criticized by Ni Jun very badly at the audition, his singing does have his own style, and some audiences just like to listen to his tight high notes.

Of course, Li Aoxiang is also indispensable.

Although he did not pass the primary election, his name has resounded in all colleges and universities in Shencheng. His speech of "I came, I sang, I conquered myself" was cited as a motto by countless contestants and countless students who had never participated in the election, inspiring them to move forward bravely on the show, in their usual studies, and even on the journey of life. With the passage of time, this sentence has spread to all colleges and universities in China, and has been regarded as the benchmark of life by contemporary college students.

Twenty years later, in the "A Sentence That Inspired Me to Grow" online selection, this speech occupied the first place with an absolute advantage. The second on the list is this sentence: Life is like this pain and happiness, you have to accept all the harm that the world brings you, and then grow up fearlessly. The support rate of this sentence is not even half of the first place, compared with the two, Li Aoxiang's sentence is obviously more concise and more imposing, and it is well deserved to be ranked first.

――――――――――

Ye Zi also got a huge harvest from the broadcast of the show, but for him, the program "Top Ten Selections" has passed for the time being. It is not until the audition is over and the re-selection stage begins that he needs to think about some specific matters during the re-selection again, such as the selection of songs.

Now, Ye Zi has completely disconnected his energy from the program "Top Ten Selections" and devoted himself wholeheartedly to the promotion of his two new songs.
