As soon as it was broadcast, it immediately detonated the entire Xiangjiang, with an average rating of more than 35 points and a maximum rating of 50 points, far exceeding TB TV stations in the same period. It is reported that ATV won a gambling agreement with Jiajiabao Herbal Tea Company in one fell swoop with the hit broadcast of "The Voice of China", with a naming fee of up to 100 million Huaxia dollars, and the advertising fee per 15 seconds also soared more than four times, exceeding one million! -- "Xiangjiang News"
"The Voice of China" set off a ratings boom, and the mysterious mentor turned out to be the star master!
Previously, the question of who the fourth mentor would be had been the focus of heated public discussion. Last night, this mentor finally revealed his true face in Lushan, and it turned out to be the planner of "The Voice of China", the major shareholder of Red Star Media Company, the major shareholder of Asia Television, the famous writer and music genius Mr. Zhao Xingchi. The moment Stephen Zhao stepped onto the stage, there was an exclamation at the live broadcast scene, and everyone was shocked. In the competition, you can't see Stephen Zhao's seriousness at all, just an active and passionate young mentor. At the beginning of the show, Stephen Zhao also walked on the stage to play a song and sang a song "In My Singing" composed on the spot, which ignited the enthusiasm of the audience......" - "Oriental Daily"
"Since Stephen Zhao joined Asia TV, he has always been known for his generosity. In addition to hiring the singer Jacky Lin, Asian king Jay Sun, and rock king Chen Qingzhi as mentors, Stephen Zhao personally went into battle as a mentor. It is reported that the moment Stephen Zhao stepped on the stage, the ratings of "The Voice of China" began to soar......"
"Before the launch of "The Voice of China", I had already thought that it would be popular throughout Xiangjiang. But when the day came, it was like a dream. Almost overnight, any topic about "The Voice of China" has provoked many discussions. The public was pleasantly surprised by Stephen Zhao himself as a mentor, surprised by the amusement of the singer Jacky Lin, surprised by Jay Sun's funny, and surprised by Chen Qingzhi's funny ......"
……
On the second day of the launch of "The Voice of China", the entire Xiangjiang was submerged in the boom of The Voice.
One word: fire!
Two words: fire!
Three words: very hot!
In Xiangjiang, as long as you open your eyes, as long as you have ears. It doesn't matter if you're at home, outside, or at work, you have to be shrouded in a good voice.
If anyone says he doesn't know The Voice, it's really OUT!
At the same time, this craze also spread to Mazu Island, the mainland and other countries and regions in Asia, especially the first-tier cities in the mainland, and the popularity of the voice is even no worse than that of Xiangjiang.
On the streets, in the company's home, everyone is discussing "The Voice of China".
Needless to say, Chen Qingzhi. This product was the chief judge of "Super Girl" before, and already has its own unique style and regular fans.
The performances of Jay Sun and Jacky Lin have dazzled countless audiences.
The two of them are the super popular king of Asia, the most influential singer in the Chinese music scene after the new century; One is the Asian singer of the last century, a super cow with record sales exceeding 100 million.
The two are such big names, have a lot of fans, and have also starred in movies, and the public's impression of them is almost fixed.
is so open on "The Voice of China". It doesn't have to be funny and funny at all, which is surprising. Even stunning.
Jay Sun said: "The first is impulsive, the second is after thinking, the third is hesitating, and the fourth is to watch the excitement." So choose me, you are the voice I want. ”
Jacky Lin said: "I'm going to tour the world, and there will be 40 concerts here in Asia. If you choose me, I invite you to be my guest performer at this concert here in Asia. ”
What the two said was completely inconsistent with their identity. For the audience, this is subversion, which makes them feel amazed and hilarious.
But. The topicality of the two of them is not what the audience is most interested in.
The audience is most interested in Stephen Zhao's appearance!
Stephen Zhao's appearance is the biggest subversion and an unparalleled impact on everyone's thinking!
With Stephen Zhao's identity and status today, in everyone's impression, he should live a low-key, simple life; Or live the kind of life that only comes out to show off when there is a big event, and doesn't show up at other times.
If you are a big man, you must have the demeanor of a big man.
But now, the big guy has suddenly run out and acted as a mentor for a music talent show, how subversive is this?
Some people are excited about this: "This season's "The Voice of China", it is enough to just watch Xing Ye alone. I wonder if Xing Ye will continue to be a mentor next season? If I could, I would definitely sign up. ”
Some people are envious and jealous: "Those players are really shit luck, especially Zhang Jian, who can worship Xing Ye as a mentor, this is a prelude to development, and suddenly become a male god!" ”
Some people expressed disdain and sarcastically said: "Stephen Zhao is really not doing his job!" ”
However, no one questioned Stephen Zhao's mentor ability.
At the same time, media reporters not only followed any news about "The Voice of China", but also began to squat at ATV headquarters, trying everything to interview Stephen Zhao.
Stephen Zhao has never had a road surface.
"The Voice of China" is a weekly issue, and after learning about the ratings, audience reputation, and income and expenditure, Stephen Zhao put this matter aside and began to negotiate with Cheng Jie about the co-production of the movie "The King of Kung Fu".
"The U.S. imperialists are Lionsgate on their side, and Huaxia is here, I've only told you about this now." Cheng Jie introduced the investment situation of the film.
"Brother Jie, after reading your script and planning, I think it's okay for this movie to impact American imperialist Hollywood, they want to see your kung fu when they watch this movie. But in China, it will definitely be scolded as a bad movie, and it is not generally bad. In my opinion, this should be the king of bad movies, the fighter in bad movies. I won't even go to see a movie ticket for nothing. All the plots can be summed up in one sentence: a bloody case caused by a mysterious golden sword. ”
Zhao Xingchi commented unceremoniously: "It's too fake! ”
Cheng Jie immediately became embarrassed: "It's not so bad, is it?" ”
Zhao Xingchi nodded seriously: "It's so bad!" ”
Cheng Jie was silent for a while, barely suppressed the anger in his heart, and then said, "Since that's the case, what do you think?" You didn't come to me to tell me how bad this film was, did you? ”
"Of course not." Stephen Zhao suddenly laughed, as if he didn't notice the change in his mood at all. said: "I will come to Brother Jie today because I think this film can still make money, so I am here to talk about cooperation." ”
Cheng Jie was dumbfounded when he heard it, and he couldn't come back to his senses for a while.
When he reacted, Cheng Jie said angrily and funny: "I said Zhao Sheng, if you want to talk about cooperation, you don't need to reduce the price like this, right?" ”
Zhao Xingchi shook his head and said: "I don't want to lower the price, what I just said is from the bottom of my heart." It's all about my real feelings about this film. ”
Cheng Jie finally got serious, thought about it, and then asked him: "By the way, you are a big writer and a big screenwriter, with your thoughts, if this film wants to achieve a balance between things and things, what should it look like?" ”
"The cost of production should be increased, and if necessary, it can be increased to 100 million US dollars. Shoot in 3D-IMAX with the most advanced special effects technology. Stephen Zhao said the first suggestion.
"100 million dollars?" Cheng Jie was taken aback. Look at him in disbelief.
The production cost of 100 million US dollars has not yet been reached by a film in China. But for Cheng Jie, this is nothing, because in the nineties of the last century, he made many films with an investment of more than 100 million US dollars.
Cheng Jie was surprised. I was surprised by Stephen Zhao's boldness!
Stephen Zhao is a small character, if he is not the major shareholder of ATV and the boss of Red Star Media, even if he is a famous writer, Cheng Jie will not pay attention to him.
Rao is so, in Cheng Jie's eyes. Stephen Zhao is still a small character who needs to be promoted, because Stephen Zhao is too young, at Cheng Jie's age, if he gets married early, he can be Stephen Zhao's grandfather.
I didn't expect that a small character would have such great courage, and his mouth would be 100 million US dollars.
Unnaturally, Cheng Jie flashed such a sentence in his mind: "The back waves of the Yangtze River push the front waves, and the front waves die on the beach, it seems that I am really old!" ”
"The investment cost of $100 million shouldn't be much for the United States, right? We can't afford to lose our momentum! ”
Stephen Zhao nodded and said indifferently: "Second, if we can, will we make two versions of this film, one for the Asian market and one for the European and American markets?" ”
"Hey, it's kind of interesting, let's talk about it." When Cheng Jie heard this, he immediately became interested, and the previous unhappiness was also left behind, and it was the first time he had the idea of making two versions of a movie.
"Make an original version first, and then add some special plots to make a special edition." Stephen Zhao began to explain his thoughts: "For example, in this "King of Kung Fu", the original male protagonist actually doesn't need to use an American imperialist, he can use a mixed-race child, which is acceptable to both Eastern and Western audiences. In the European and American markets, mainly in the American imperialist film market, we will release the original version. In the Asian market, mainly in the Chinese film market, we will release special editions. What's so special about it? I think the setting of the hero is very bad, it gives me a feeling of playing soy sauce, in fact, Brother Jie, have you ever thought about setting the hero and the human god of war as a person, so that the hero can become the afterlife of the human god of war? ”
Cheng Jie pondered while listening, and soon his eyes lit up, and he started shooting: "Good idea, in this way, the whole plot will be more complete and complete, and it will be more vivid!" Nice, nice......"
As he spoke, his eyes were full of appreciation when he looked at Zhao Xingchi.
It wasn't until this time that Cheng Jie finally looked at Stephen Zhao differently.
It turns out that there is no vanity under the fame, and he really deserves to be a Chinese national writer!
In the following days, the two continued to improve the script and discuss cooperation at the same time.
During this period, Lin Yun-fat and Zhao Ziyi also joined in, and there was also a screenwriter from Emperor Lionsgate. (To be continued......)
