In December, the first round of negotiations between China and the UK finally came to an end, and both sides said that it was a friendly negotiation and that progress had been made in the first stage.

Although no progress has been made, the Hong Kong stock market, which has been falling for nearly a month, has finally stabilized, by which time the Hang Seng Index has fallen to 676.30 points, a 60% decline.

After the good news from the Sino-British negotiations, Hong Kong's stock market, which had bottomed out, began to recover slowly, with all stocks bullish, while land and property prices also rose.

However, this does not mean that the Hong Kong stock market has improved, in another time and space, the Sino-British negotiations lasted more than two years, and the Hong Kong stock market has fluctuated several times in the past two years, each time with big ups and downs.

As soon as the news of the Sino-British negotiations came out badly, coupled with the British side's covert incitement of public opinion, the Hong Kong stock market immediately plummeted. A few months after the fall, there will be good news after a round of talks between China and the UK, and the stock market will start to rise again. Then it fell, then went up, and then fell again, and for more than two years, the Hang Seng Index changed back and forth between 600 and 1,000 points, and investors went up and down like a roller coaster. Even the best financial experts, Cāo handicappers, were confused when they looked at the Hong Kong stock market in the past two years, and they were at a loss at all.

If Kang Jianfei chooses to speculate in stocks, it is estimated that he will be played to death by the god-like changes in Hong Kong's stock market.

On December 3rì, the first day that the Hong Kong stock market began to pick up, "The Voice of China" was officially launched on Phoenix Chinese Channel.

"The Voice of China" began preparations three months ago, successively screened some outstanding contestants, and gave them simple training, until last month finally began recording.

It is also difficult to choose the four mentors, mainly because "The Voice of China" is done by Fengxing Records and Phoenix Channel, and the singer will be signed away by Fengxing Records first after he becomes famous.

If you invite singers from other record companies to be mentors, you are training new talents for their competitors, which big company is willing?

For example, Alan Tam is very popular in Hong Kong, and his qualifications are sufficient. It was a fitting fit to ask him to be a mentor. But Alan Tam is now signing with Polygram, and Polygram's request is that Alan Tam can be the "judge" of the show (Polygram's people understand it so), but the newcomers unearthed by this show, Polygram Records can be picked together with popular records.

Fengxing Records categorically refused, saying that they would pick the rest before they would give it to Polygram, and the two sides broke up unhappily after the last talk.

After some scratching of the ears and cheeks of the program team, the four mentors finally got together. They are Zhen Ni, Xu Xiaofeng, Lin Zishen and Su Rui.

Jenny has been debuting for more than ten years, and her record has broken the Hong Kong sales record, and the martial arts songs she sang with Rowan in recent years have been very popular in Hong Kong, enough to serve as a mentor.

Although Lin Zishen's records are not too popular, he is both a singer and a music producer, and he is more qualified than Jenny in terms of professional quality. And he has also had a lot of influence in the film industry in recent years.

Not to mention Xu Xiaofeng, she is the most popular Hong Kong female singer in recent years; Although Su Rui is slightly less famous in Hong Kong, she is a diva-level singer in Taiwan and Nanyang.

The most important thing is that none of these four people are obstructed by the record company behind them.

Jenny set up her own Golden Note Records last year, and she is already the owner of a small record company, and she only has a cooperative relationship and no competition with Fengxing Records;

Lin Zixiang's wife is the general manager of Warner Records in Hong Kong, and he is comfortable with both records and movies. Live very chic;

Xu Xiaofeng has quit Polygram to join Kangyi Chengyin Records, and the new company is much easier to talk to than her old employer.

As for the remaining Su Rui, she herself is the pillar of popular records.

……

Seeing that the show was about to start, Huang Xizhao asked McDonald Bear with some concern: "Dangxiong, what do you estimate the ratings of "The Voice of China" will be?" ”

McDonald Bear is the program director of the TV station, not only the TV series producer, although the program director of "The Voice of China" is Su Dingshan, but many times it is McDonald Bear who is making ideas.

McDonald's conservative estimate: "It should be able to exceed 25 points." ”

If it is placed in 20 years. If a variety show has an audience rating of more than 25 points, it is definitely a popular show.

But now it's different, for example, the highest-rated program among the three TV stations in Taiwan is not a TV series but "Variety 100", and it has been the No. 1 in ratings for several consecutive years.

Although TVB's "Happy Tonight" is not as strong as "Variety 100", the ratings have remained above 40 points all year round, while the ratings of Lishi's variety shows in the past were generally above 15 points.

Kang Jianfei made several new shows. "Exploration and Discovery", a documentary program, has the lowest ratings, with each episode around 7 o'clock, which is basically scrapped. "Qiang Qiang Threesome" is slightly higher, with an average rating of 11 o'clock. Although it is also wasteful, the production cost is also super low.

Only "Happy 60 Points" has the best results, and the ratings even exceeded 30 points at one point, and one issue almost exploded the chrysanthemum of "Happy Tonight".

Now the station has made adjustments, compressing the broadcast time of "Discovery" to 30 minutes, and then accompanying it with a short drama before it airs. "Qiang Qiang Threesome" is also the same, both short dramas are broadcast before and after the program, and these two programs are only broadcast on Mondays and Tuesdays when the ratings are the worst, and from Wednesday to Zhourì are all used to broadcast "Happy 60 Minutes" and the TV station's previous variety shows.

McDonald Bear watched the full first episode of "The Voice of China" in advance, and he thinks that this show should be popular, but whether it is good or not depends on the audience.

Huang Xizhao is anxious, although the ratings of Phoenix TV after the reorganization often suppress TVB, but he is never happy.

In the past, when Lishi was the best, the market share with the ratings of the wireless station was only 3:7, and the main reason was that the ratings of the other party's "Happy Tonight" were too terrifying.

Now the market share of the ratings of Phoenix and wireless has increased to 4:6, which seems to have increased the ratings a lot, but the cost has also increased greatly.

Not to mention Kang Jianfei's "Xun Qin", which has an average production cost of 20,000 2 per episode, take this "The Voice of China" as an example, it costs 600,000 yuan to invite four mentors to record the show in each episode. If the ratings of "The Voice of China" are below 30 points, then Phoenix TV will lose money.

Huang Xizhao also estimated from experience two days ago that since the opening of Phoenix TV in the past few months, although the TV series has been rated by Changhong, the most money earned by the station is two or three million.

"What do you think of separating the entire production department of the TV station?"

Huang Xizhao suddenly remembered Kang Jianfei's words, the biggest expense of Phoenix TV is to raise a large number of actors and behind-the-scenes. The production fee for a single episode of a TV series is only more than 10,000 yuan, but if the labor of all members of the crew is spread in, the cost of each episode is at least tens of thousands, because these people have to get paid if they don't film.

Perhaps, it's time to get rid of the production department! Huang Xizhao couldn't help but think.

……

In an apartment building in Wan Chai, 15-year-old Li Keqin threw down his pen and urged his father: "Old Bean, quickly change to Phoenix Chinese Channel!" ”

Father Li yawned and said, "What do you change?" "Happy Tonight" is about to start. ”

Li Keqin hurriedly said: "Phoenix Channel's "The Voice of China" will be broadcast today! ”

"What's a good sound?" Father Li asked.

""The Voice of China", a singing show, Xu Xiaofeng, Lin Zishen, Zhen Ni and Su Rui are guests!" Li Keqin said.

"Jenny is a guest? She rarely appears on TV! "Father Li quickly changed to Phoenix Terrace, their whole family moved from Macau, and Zhen Ni is also from Macau, and Father Li's favorite singer is Zhen Ni.

Li Keqin said excitedly: "Yes, this time Phoenix Terrace is really generous. Xu Xiaofeng and Zhen Ni, it's hard to invite one, but the two of them were invited together. ”

The father and son waited expectantly for a few minutes, and "The Voice of China" finally officially began.

"Hello, everyone, and welcome to the ...... of "The Voice of China", which is broadcast under the title of Rolex Watches"

The show started as a gorgeous stage, and the audience was densely packed with people. Li Keqin and his son were stunned after just one glance, where is this TV show, such a big scene is simply a concert.

Because the studio of Phoenix TV is too small, "The Voice of China" went directly to the Taiping Theater to record. After prior publicity, the names of Xu Xiaofeng and the four attracted a lot of fans, and these fans bought tickets to enter the show and became the live audience of the show.

The high tutor invitation fee of 600,000 per issue has been released, and Phoenix TV naturally doesn't care about those reels anymore, and directly uses six cameras when recording the show, which is more luxurious than most movies in Hong Kong.

Fortunately, you can earn back a lot of money by selling live audience tickets, otherwise Phoenix TV would not be able to recover its costs at all. As for the money for leasing the Taiping Theater, it is basically equivalent to giving it away for nothing, Zhang Mocai has just recruited all the people, and then replaced the iron seats on the third floor of the theater, and it has not officially started business.

After the host finished a series of advertising titles, Xu Xiaofeng, Zhen Ni, Lin Zishen and Su Rui sang on stage continuously, everything was made according to the specifications of the concert, and the thousands of fans who bought "cheap tickets" to enter the venue were so excited that they screamed.

Immediately after the instructor finished singing, he sat on four chairs and faced the audience, while the host began to explain the rules of the show.

"Can you really become their disciple?" Li Keqin was itchy and regretted that he didn't sign up for the competition.

The so-called disciples are naturally gimmicks, but they do receive limited guidance from the four mentors.

For those young people who love to sing, being able to catch up with Xu Xiaofeng and others is simply a soaring rhythm.

The most interesting thing is that this show only listens to the singing and does not look at the looks, which makes the audience feel extremely novel. (To be continued.) （qidian.）。 )
