Chapter 192: Yang Yue was persuaded not to do a show
Zhao Chuan was inevitably disappointed when he heard this, and persuaded again: "In fact, you don't have to worry about age, there is a saying that 'there is a precedence in hearing the Tao, and the one who reaches it is the teacher'."
What's more, the younger judges of music programs are already obvious, as for Xiangjiang Satellite TV's phenomenal 'Happy Girl', last year's judges were in their twenties.
There are also Zhejiang Satellite TV's 'Super Male Voice', Jiangnan Satellite TV's 'Voice of Nature', and Sichuan Shu Satellite TV's 'Most Beautiful Boy', all of which have young judges. ”
Yang Yue was a little speechless when he heard this.
He thought that Zhao Chuan was just mentioning it in passing, but he didn't expect that the willingness to invite him was quite strong.
But his refusal did not waver.
It is really not advisable for him to come to the singer-songwriter show as a judge next year, and there is no future.
So he said apologetically: "Director Zhao, I really have other arrangements after the Spring Festival." ”
Hearing Yang Yue reiterate this reason, Zhao Chuan knew that the persuasion was not moving, and he couldn't help but sigh.
Seeing this, Yang Yue couldn't help asking: "Director Zhao, the king of singer-songwriters in this issue is so popular, the judges of the next issue should be very invited, right?" ”
Zhao Chuan sighed: "This show is popular, but the requirements for judges and competition guests are also high."
After two years and 24 issues, almost all the singer-songwriters with good levels in China have been invited by us.
Don't look at the king of singer-songwriters in this issue, it's like cooking oil on fire, in fact, I don't know where to find the judges and competition guests in the next issue.
The station learned about this situation, and they were even ready to suspend the show.
said that in two or three years, there will be more newcomers in the music scene, and then it will be held again.
But now that there are more and more types of music programs, and the changes are getting faster and faster, where will this show still be popular in two or three years? I'm afraid it's not cold. ”
Yang Yue nodded when he heard this, and thought deeply.
As far as he knows, the age of any program is limited, and there are very few that are more than five years old if they are done every year, even if they are once popular or even phenomenal programs, there are few that have exceeded ten years.
For example, "The Voice", which was once a well-known phenomenal music program, was only popular for four or five years, and it has obviously declined after 2017.
In 2020 and 2021, although it is still doing well, the public's attention is probably less than one-tenth of what it was seven or eight years ago.
This is certainly related to the fact that "The Voice" has changed its name due to copyright issues, and some entanglements of interests within the organizer have affected the quality of the program.
But it also has something to do with the difficulty of finding good "students".
What's more, any show has aesthetic fatigue.
When it first came out, the audience thought it was fresh, but after a year or two, it didn't seem interesting, which can be said to be a common phenomenon.
Considering what he wanted to do about the show, Yang Yue said: "Then Director Zhao will suspend this show and redo something else." ”
Zhao Chuan smiled when he heard it, "At first glance, you just don't know the difficulties of making a show - not all programs can be popular, many programs will even lose money when they do it, and they will be cut in half after two or three episodes are broadcast."
If you make a show like that, it will only be a waste of money, a waste of time, and a waste of word-of-mouth. ”
Yang Yue actually understood what Zhao Chuan said.
But he still feigned surprise, "Really? I'm also going to invest in a music show for the New Year. ”
"You're going to do a music show?" Zhao Chuan couldn't help but raise his voice when he heard this, and his face was full of surprise.
Li Yong, Zhao Yanyan, Ming Min and others at the same table also looked over and were equally surprised.
Then Zhao Yanyan couldn't help but smile and said: "Yang Yue, this show is not so easy to do, I have a friend who invested in a show, but lost more than 10 million." ”
Mingmin also said in the tone of the eldest sister: "Yes, doing a show and making music are two different things. In addition, it's not like a good song program will be popular. ”
The words of the two were naturally well-intentioned.
Yang Yue is so popular now, it is impossible for them to taunt with brains.
But the implication is also obvious - you Yang Yue is very strong in making music, but doing a show is another thing, the show is not good, and you may not be able to become popular if you put good music in it.
Zhao Chuan came back to his senses and persuaded: "Yang Yue, interlacing is like separating mountains, besides, there are many aspects involved in doing a show, and the water inside is deep."
I know you've made a lot of money by singing in the past few months, but for a good show, the investment in the first issue is generally tens of millions.
If you can't attract advertising to make investment, you can do two or three installments in a row, that is, tens of millions, or even hundreds of millions of dollars will be invested in it.
If you're not careful, the money can go down the drain.
If this is the case with the Ming Chun arrangement you mentioned, it would be better to come to the singer-songwriter show as a judge teacher. ”
Yang Yue didn't argue with these people, and said with a smile: "I just want to make a show to test the water, and the investment will not be too big at the beginning."
In fact, I've asked the people in the studio to find a qualified production company.
I am going to directly acquire a small company and become a controlling shareholder, does Director Zhao have any news about this? ”
When Zhao Chuan heard this, he thought that Yang Yue probably really wanted to test the water.
Or maybe you do have some spare money in your hands and want to make a show to have fun.
He didn't bother to persuade again, but he didn't get estranged from Yang Yue because of this - although Yang Yue didn't agree to be a judge teacher for the next singer-songwriter, there can be other cooperation in the future.
A program director like him will not narrow the road.
He thought for a moment and said, "When you say that, I really know a company that meets your requirements." ”
"Oh?" Yang Yue immediately showed an interested look.
Zhao Chuan said: "This company is called 'Quenxing Media', which was founded by a colleague who went out of our station before and a few friends outside.
At the beginning, I also did two or three good shows, and there was no big hit, but I also made some money.
With confidence and funds, they planned a program with a total investment of tens of millions in the early stage.
Then he signed a gambling agreement with our station, that is, the ratings did not reach a certain line, and the production company covered the compensation.
As a result, two or three episodes of the program were broadcast, and the response was mediocre, the ratings could not go up, and advertisers were unwilling to continue to pay.
In the end, the show was cut in half, not to mention the money earned in the first two years, and it still owed tens of millions to advertisers.
Some time ago, I heard from that old colleague that if they couldn't attract investment, they would be ready to go bankrupt. ”
As soon as Yang Yue heard this, he became interested in this "Quenching Star Media".
So he said: "Thank you Director Zhao for the news, I will inspect this company when I go back." ”
Yang Yue didn't say anything more.
He is still waiting to see the information collected by Liang Xiaoya after New Year's Day.
When the time comes, we will refer to other companies that meet the requirements, and we will start with which company is the most suitable.
Then, Yang Yue chatted with Zhao Chuan about other aspects of the program's production.
Zhao Chuan found that Yang Yue did not talk like a newcomer in his twenties who had not been deeply involved in the entertainment industry, but a bit like a veteran who had been in the mix for many years.
In particular, I know a lot about the behind-the-scenes work of music.
Zhao Chuan happened to be quite interested in doing music programs, and the two felt quite close to each other when they chatted.
Wait until 12 o'clock, and the banquet officially begins.
Zhao Yanyan didn't know what means were used, but she was actually arranged to share the table with Yang Yue, Zhao Chuan and the three judges.
And he was still sitting next to Yang Yue.
After a table of people eating, drinking, and gossiping for a while, Zhao Yanyan approached Yang Yue, touched Yang Yue with her arm intentionally or unintentionally, and said with a smile: "Yang Yue, we can be regarded as working together, can you help me make a song?" The price is negotiable. ”
Yang Yue also smiled: "I'm really embarrassed, I have signed a few singers in the studio now, and I can't get together the songs they are going to release next year, and I want to invite songs from others, where are there still songs to take?" ”
Yang Yue can now earn tens of millions of dollars by writing a song and paying for downloads, wouldn't it be a fool to sell songs like he did when he was not famous before?
Zhao Yanyan was not discouraged, she leaned sideways and moved closer to Yang Yue, and her legs under the table touched Yang Yue's legs.
She smiled and said, "Don't be in a hurry to refuse, if you have a song that suits me, I will not only give you a base price, but also share the money I earn."
I know you're famous, but my fan base doesn't really cross much with you.
In addition, our company will make efforts in publicity, if the quality of the song is okay, it is no problem for a song to earn hundreds of millions. ”
Zhao Yanyan's willingness to give up the benefits of the share was a bit unexpected by Yang Yue.
But he still didn't want to sell the song to anyone else.
So he looked at Zhao Yanyan, and said with an unchanged smile: "Forget about the share, if you can consider signing in to our studio, I can tailor a few good songs for you." ”
