Chapter 525: A Ratings Record That Is Hard to Replicate
On the evening of Tuesday, May 12, Ye Zi took Yin Lihua to hold a banquet at the Old Zhangshu Hotel in Shencheng to thank Zhang Lei and Xie Yun for their brothers and sisters in the night game, and Cui Zhengguang of course rushed over happily. There are delicious food, and more importantly, Ye Zi said that he took two bottles of good wine out, where can Cui Zhengguang still sit still.
Ye Zi also invited Shen Sihan, but Shen Gongzi politely declined, these days he is busy simplifying the experience that Ye Zi gave him and completing his old man's request.
At the cocktail party on the night of the competition, Ye Zi learned from Zhou Fang that someone voted for him through the guò military line. Zhou Fang didn't know what was going on, but Ye Zi understood it very well, so he called Shen Sihan the next day and thanked him. Of course, Shen Gongzi didn't need his thanks, but he took the opportunity to make his own request.
This matter was a little troublesome, Ye Zi thought about it for a while and agreed, but he also put forward one condition.
Since this experience has been handed over to Shen Sihan, of course, it is up to him to decide whether he is willing to take it out and give it to the military for use, and Ye Zi will not interfere too much. But Ye Zi hoped that this matter would no longer involve him, and that Shen Sihan would solve it all by himself, so that Ye Zi would have no problems here at all.
Shen Sihan patted his cheeks and agreed.
Will Ye Zi be more involved? To be honest, Shen Sihan never thought about it. If it weren't for the request of his own old man, even he wouldn't have done such a thankless thing, let alone Ye Zi? From a selfish point of view, where would he find a "master" like Ye Zi who could refer to him and help him step into the realm of dark energy? Shen Sihan still wanted to impact a higher realm, how could he reveal Ye Zi's news to others?
Therefore, Shen Sihan made a three-chapter agreement with his old man, and after Commander Shen used military honor to ensure that he would never leak Ye Zi's situation lightly, Shen Sihan took a few days off, and began to simplify the experience that Ye Zi gave him at home.
These days. His mind was full of this matter, and he didn't have a single diǎn empty.
When it was time set, all twenty night singers arrived, and none of them were late.
Just kidding, Ye Zi is in for a treat, how could they be late or not come? Their hopes for the future are all in Ye Zi's hands.
"∞dǐng, "∞diǎn", "∞ small", "∞ said, .2¤3.o≮s_(); At the banquet. Ye Zi kept persuading wine and cloth dishes, and sincerely thanked these singer friends who had not known each other for a long time.
In this competition, Ye Zi did inherit a lot of favor from them. After talking to Zhang Lei and them on the phone yesterday, Ye Zi knew that if it weren't for Zhang Lei and Cui Zhengguang thinking of a good way to use a public phone booth, even if Shen Sihan brought in communication, even help. It was this method that allowed Ye Zi to always bite the tails of Liu Qi and Jin Wenbin, so that he would not fall too far behind and could not catch up, which led to the miracle of reversal after the communication company joined. It can be said that without those phone calls in the public phone booth to vote, Ye Zi will definitely lose last night, let alone the first place. I can't even get into the top three. Looking at the score that Rulan got in the last half hour, you know that this is definitely not a random guess.
Although the method was thought up by Zhang Lei and Cui Zhengguang, all the things done were done by the classmates and the group of singers in front of them, and Ye Zi must remember and return this favor. The classmates have already arranged it, and this group of singers needs Ye Zi to come forward in person. As for Zhang Lei and Cui Zhengguang, including Xie Yun, they are all their own brothers, so they don't have to think too much.
The singers were very polite and did not take credit, Zhang Lei and Xie Yun were helping the singers beat the side drums on the side. The atmosphere between the guests and the host was very harmonious.
Ye Zi was very embarrassed to receive such a big favor, so he secretly calculated. On the spot, I promised that after the release of the album, I immediately helped the singers start making zuò singles, everyone has it, and the preliminary calculation of the time should be at the end of June and the beginning of July. Before that, Ye Zi, the singer who had already found the work in advance, could take the time to help them do it first.
Cui Zhengguang cooperated with him tacitly, and also gave them a discount on the recording fee in front of all the singers, which was already very low. In this way, these singers can make one or two singles to test the water at a very small cost. If it works, then keep doing it, even if it doesn't work as well as it wants, and it won't hurt them.
With such a good thing as a foundation, this dinner is of course a pleasure for both guests and hosts.
……
Wednesday morning, May 13. The organizing committee and the program team held a joint meeting to summarize the first selection activities, and Ye Zi attended the meeting as a special guest. But this time, Ye Zi only went to see and listen with his eyes and ears, and basically did not express any opinions.
Now that he is so busy with these things, he doesn't want to invite any extra things for himself, and he doesn't think he has enough things to do?
At the beginning of the meeting, Zhou Fang informed everyone about the specific situation of the last event, which is also of great concern to everyone.
The live broadcast on the evening of May 10 broke the six-year-old Shencheng TV ratings record with a rating of 95.1% (the original record was 94%, held by the final of the "Cassie Family Singing Grand Prix" on Chinese New Year's Eve in 1986), exceeding the long-cherished wish of Zhou Fang and the program team.
This is a remarkable achievement.
This achievement has been maintained until later generations, and no other program has been able to surpass it, not even the second final of the selection, which is known as the "most successful singing competition", cannot come close to this record, let alone break it.
The final of the inaugural tournament was full of ups and downs, and the whole process was full of unpredictable surprises. The two hosts played perfectly, they firmly controlled the direction of the whole event without deviation, but when it was time to let go, they boldly let go, and let these sudden surprises attract the attention and attention of all the audience. Coupled with the help of the newly designed stage, brilliant lighting and sound, and rainy weather to pull the audience, although the high ratings of this event were unexpected, it was reasonable to analyze them carefully.
In any subsequent event or program, no one can get such advantages or characteristics, and it is also natural that it cannot break its record. With the increasing variety of TV programs and the advent of satellite TV giving viewers more choices, such records are even less likely to be broken.
A miracle that is hard to replicate!
This is the evaluation of the first "Top Ten Campus Singer Selection" in the hearts of all TV people.
This miracle also has its own participation. Ye Zi is honored, and he is very relieved that he did not give up this event in the end. However, he didn't continue to care about the subsequent summary, the organizing committee and the program team had a very heated discussion, and Ye Zi sat there quietly, slowly thinking about what needed to be done next.
Before we head to Xiangjiang next week, there are still a few things that need to be done.
……
May 14th. Thursday.
Ye Zi has already taken the time to complete the accompaniment system of the cover songs of the seven contestants in the past two days, and this diǎn trivial matter can't help him. In this way, he had two things left to accomplish before recording in early June. First, help Liu Qi re-arrange the song "Starlight", he already has an idea, and the contestants are going to gather again today, and he is going to talk to Liu Qi and listen to his opinions. Second, create a choral song and arrange it. Ye Zi hadn't had time to think about this matter yet, but he already had the general direction in his heart.
This time, Ye Zi is ready to really create a new work, and no longer looks for those ready-made songs from his previous life. This competition gave him enough experience and inspiration, and he believed that he could write a choral song that would satisfy all the contestants.
At ten times in the morning, nine contestants came to Shencheng TV again. After a few days, the contestants who met again no longer had the tension and hostility of the competition, but became close because they participated in the event together. Of course. The rich rewards given to the players by various schools must have eliminated a lot of their spiritual loss.
Only Jin Wenbin's eyebrows had a hint of melancholy that was not easy to detect.
The TV station moved quickly, and just finished the summary yesterday. Today, the assessment of these nine players will begin, which is also something that Director Cheng Zhongqing and General Manager Gan Zhihao have personally promised.
General Manager Gan was self-conscious and did not come to the TV station in person, but he also attached great importance to today's incident and sent his deputy Zhang Qingsong to lead the team. Zhou Fang didn't personally ask about this matter, and it was Section Chief Zhang Wenliang and Zhang who came forward.
Said it was an assessment. In fact, the process is quite simple, but there is diǎn time-consuming.
The TV station has prepared several cameramen and photographers in advance to take pictures of each contestant from different angles to see how the contestant is on camera, and there are diǎn similar to auditions before making a movie in Western countries. There just doesn't need to perform. After lunch, the contestants came to the TV recording studio collectively, and Mr. Hu Zhengyuan will record a song for each contestant. This song does not require the contestants to prepare deliberately, just sing it directly in the recording studio, the purpose is to hear how well the contestants' voices are recorded.
Seeing Ye Zi come in and greet him respectfully, Hu Zhengyuan smiled directly. He immediately handed over the work in his hand to Ye Zi, and sat on the side to make a little wine.
Hu Zhengyuan is half of Ye Zi's teacher in recording technology, and has taught him a lot of experience and tricks in recording folk music. Half a teacher is also a teacher, and if there is something for the disciple to do his job, what else is there to say?
Ye Zi lowered his eyebrows and sat in the special seat of the recording engineer.
Zhang Wenliang glanced at Hu Zhengyuan and stopped talking, this great god was so annoyed that he didn't even give the director face, how could he afford to provoke it. Ye Zi's recording technology Zhang Wenliang also knows that now he is definitely not inferior to Hu Zhengyuan or even more than Hu Zhengyuan in the recording of vocals, so what is there to worry about?
Zhang Qingsong and the players didn't know about this diǎn, except for Liu Qi, they all muttered to themselves in their hearts. Zhang Wenliang pulled Zhang Qingsong aside to explain a few words, Zhang Qingsong still expressed doubts in his heart, but he didn't say anything more. Hu Zhengyuan seemed to know what they were talking about, and glanced at them from a distance, amused in his heart.
After the contestants went in to record one after another, watching Ye Zi's extremely familiar movements on the mixer, and listening to the recorded cappella songs, Zhang Qingsong not only believed but was surprised.
Ye Zi's recorded vocal cappella even surpassed Zhang Chuanjie, the chief recording engineer of the audio and video company, which was particularly delicate, and completely recorded the voices of the contestants. At the request of Zhang Qingsong, Ye Zi did some simple voice processing for these cappella songs, and a simple cappella song immediately underwent earth-shaking changes. The flaws in the original voices of the contestants were completely covered up by Ye Zi's processing and modification, and the whole voice became moist and charming under Ye Zi's simple processing, but it was different, and everyone's voice was fully excavated and carried forward.
Zhang Qingsong was completely convinced.
The players were also completely convinced. (To be continued.) )
