Chapter 743 Crushing From Across the Ages

Originally, the days after Christmas and before New Year were relatively lazy times, and I couldn't muster the energy to do anything.

But TVB TVB made big news at this time.

"TVB held a press conference and announced that the "Hong Kong Rookie Singing Contest" will be held in January. All young people in Hong Kong can participate!"

"The winner of the singing competition will receive a singer contract with China Star Records, a subsidiary of China Star Entertainment, and wireless's elite music producers will tailor a music album for them!"

"The runner-up and third runner-up will also have the opportunity to join Wireless and become wireless contracted singers!"

"What are you waiting for? All the young people who like to sing! Maybe you are the next Xu Guanjie, you are the next Xu Xiaofeng, you are the next Leslie Cheung!"

"Our reporter exclusively interviewed Ms. Fang Yihua, executive director of TVB TVB. She claimed that this is a program that Ms. Chen Shufen, who has just resigned from TVB, has been preparing for a long time. Now it is just time to launch it. The purpose is to add vitality to the music scene in Hong Kong!"

"China Star Entertainment has made quite a move recently. Not only has it restructured the award-winning China Star Record Company, it has also hired famous people in the industry at high prices to create better albums for wireless singers!"

"..."

Watching the news, Yin Jun was still talking to Chen Shufen.

"Well... I know, it's okay, it's nothing... Okay, you can go on tour seriously... I already know about this... Are you still doubting my ability?... Okay, As long as you do a good job on the tour, then you are the first to do it!”

When he hung up the phone, Yin Jun could feel that Chen Shufen was very worried.

She had been on tour as soon as she joined the job, and she didn't even have time to talk to Yin Jun about the singing competition. She planned to talk about it when she came back at the end of January.

But I didn't expect that Wireless would take action so quickly.

It's okay for you to be quick at wireless, but why do you frame it on me and say that I prepared it for you? I just mentioned it to Fang Yihua!

Isn't this giving me eye drops in front of my new owner?

But Chen Shufen really had nothing to say, because she was the one who suggested it to TVB in the first place, and most of what Fang Yihua said was true.

Therefore, after hearing the news, she quickly called Yin Jun and explained that she did not deliberately embarrass Yin Jun. This was what happened before poaching people.

However, Yin Jun's attitude also made her a little hesitant.

Because Yin Jun acted too indifferently, as if it was a trivial matter that didn't matter.

Chen Shufen didn't know if Yin Jun really didn't care, or if he was silent on the surface, but actually had a bad influence on her, and he would wait for the opportunity to teach her a lesson.

Having just graduated from Huaxing, if Chen Shufen is fired by Qilin Culture again, her reputation in Hong Kong will be ruined, and it will take who knows how many years to get back on her feet.

Now she can only pray that Yin Jun is like the legend, a very gentle gentleman, and really doesn't care about this program produced by TVB.

Of course, Yin Jun couldn't tell Chen Shufen that he really didn't mind, and the reason was that he didn't like this rookie singing competition at all.

Even though this "Rookie Singing Contest" was supposed to come out two years later, but now it comes out two years earlier due to the butterfly effect, Yin Jun doesn't take it seriously.

To be fair, "Rookie Singing Contest" is not bad. At least in this era, it is still a very popular competition mode.

And it was very successful. In the first session, Xiangjiang's daughter Mei Yanfang was dug out, and it immediately became famous. It has been held continuously for nearly 30 years and is deeply loved by people in Xiangjiang. It can be said to be a very powerful program.

It’s not just Mei Yanfang, Lu Fang, Zhang Weijian, Du Dewei, Su Yongkang, Li Kechu, Zheng Xiuwen, Cao Meng, Xu Zhian, Limin, Chen Yixun, Yang Qianhua, etc. A group of singing superstars all came out of this rookie singing competition.

However, this is because it does not have a stronger competitor, because TVB is the number one overlord of TV programs in Hong Kong.

If it meets a more mature, dazzling and colorful singing program, it will definitely not be as stale as it will be in the future.

For example

"American idol".

This is the most successful singing talent show in history. On a professional level, it can surpass the more showy and entertaining "The Voice" series.

From the fact that it has been held for an exaggerated number of 15 times in a highly competitive place like the United States, we know how popular it is.

Of course, "American Idol", which started in 2002, has a generation gap of more than 20 years. It has a crushing advantage over the rookie singing competition. This is also in line with the continuous development of society and people's thinking is becoming more and more broad and open. .put relevant.

When Yin Jun was planning how to acquire Jiashi two years ago, he had already decided to add Ace's variety shows to Ace's TV series, so as to walk on two feet and develop on two feet.

This trump card variety show, Yin Jun chose "American Idol".

In the early 1980s, there were too many outstanding big-name singers emerging in Hong Kong. "Hong Kong Idol" could not only add a top variety show to the TV station, but also add luster to its own singer camp. This was originally killing two birds with one stone.

With "Hong Kong Idol" in hand, why do you think Yin Jun would be interested in such an outdated competition model as "Rookie Singing Contest"?

If it weren't for Yin Jun's stimulation, this "Rookie Singing Contest" would never have thought of having a live broadcast.

In his previous life, Yin Jun watched the first "Rookie Singing Contest" in 1982, which was purely a recorded program.

The entire competition was cut down to 90 minutes. First, the first guest and judge Shinji Tanimura sang two songs, and then the singers who entered the finals sang one by one. After all the singing, the judges' scores were combined. Look up, and then the rankings will come out.

In the final session, everyone stood on the stage stupidly, waiting for Qi Yuzhen and the others to announce the awards, and ended the competition happily.

People in this era will never have the thinking of the future Internet era.

They may all feel that too long a singing talent show will be boring, so they might as well come up with a condensed version of the highlights to get the best effect.

As everyone knows, in many programs and TV shows, the process is actually more important than the result.

It is precisely because there are so many interactions that are close to people's hearts and there are so many links that allow the audience to actively participate that a talent show will be more enjoyable.

Only when the audience participates, will they like the program more - the attention of participants is much greater than that of bystanders.

There are no mobile phones, no text messages, and no online voting, but that doesn't mean that Yin Jun has nothing to do.

Xiangjiang is such a small city, and any news can quickly spread throughout Xiangjiang. This is a great advantage.

After today's performance, Kirin Daily will get the voting form early tomorrow morning. After stuffing it into the drop box, you can arrive at Kirin Records' office in the afternoon.

Rapid response is one of Xiangjiang's biggest advantages.

If this happened in the United States, it wouldn't be that easy.

The place is so big that it’s difficult to collect feedback information.

In a place like Xiangjiang, there is about a week to wait for feedback, so the audience's enthusiasm can be adjusted and they are increasingly looking forward to the progress of the program.

"Hong Kong Idol" is not just a 90-minute show.

According to the rules of "American Idol" in the previous life, the auditions can be broadcast for several consecutive weeks, and then there will be a re-election, 32 will go into 16, 16 will go into 8, 8 will go into 4, 4 will go into 3, 3 will go into 2, and finally the championship and runner-up will be competed. , there was no problem at all for three months.

Today's Hong Kong, which is almost 1981, has too little entertainment activities and variety shows. The old-fashioned "Happy Tonight" can be played every day for decades. It's also completely possible.

If the time is too long, it is easy for people to feel bored and exhausted.

If it is too short, it will not have a lasting sensational effect.

There is no need to be pretentious about the audition. It takes a week to play the audition clips, good singing, funny, dumbfounding... Such a clip can arouse the audience's interest and serve as an appetizer.

Then you can slowly control the rhythm. Just tell the director that the show will be broadcast for about 4 months, and they will know what to do.

After all, there are still many smart people in Xiangjiang.

It's just that from the time the top 32 are selected and the 32 are selected into the 16, it should be broadcast once a week. This kind of appetite-stimulating thing is the essence of a variety show.

If "Hong Kong Idol" can be run continuously for more than ten or twenty years like American Idol, the first season must be successfully run.

Wireless's "Rookie Singing Contest" is just like China's Spring Festival Gala in the 1980s, much darker in color and completely devoid of any value to watch.

In order to make "Hong Kong Idol" a success, Yin Jun entrusted George Lucas in the United States to help buy a set of the most advanced audio equipment when he successfully acquired Jiashi in October.

He only reported the news two days ago that this set of equipment has been found, but it is the treasure of his factory. The asking price is 10 million US dollars, which is really a sky-high price!

But after Yin Jun looked at the specific configurations and carefully calculated the area and various aspects of the stage, he felt that this set of the most advanced audio equipment in the world would definitely be able to produce perfect results. Therefore, he could only I reluctantly paid 10 million US dollars and asked them to pack it carefully and ship it over by ship.

On the one hand, the sound equipment and the stage layout already have an image in Yin Jun's mind, but turning it into a reality requires a lot of time and energy to decorate and decorate.

Fortunately, Yin Jun had already made the sketches. After handing over such a stack of sketches, the people below would naturally carry out decoration and renovation. He didn't need to worry too much. He only had to check it when the time came.

At the same time, in order to achieve such a large scale and formation, there must be enough gimmicks, and then more people will pay attention and more people will participate.

Just like the first champion of "American Idol", if she hadn't received 20th Century Fox's full efforts to create it, her first single topped the Billboard, and her first album would have been After becoming the Billboard album sales champion, how could there be so many young men and women who are crazy about becoming famous and participate in "American Idol"?

Therefore, the winner of the first season, Yin Jun, is also preparing to learn "American Idol" and receive a record contract worth 1 million Hong Kong dollars.

At first glance, this seems to be the same as that of Huaxing Records, but the championship record contract of Kirin Records will include a golden song written and composed by Yin Jun. In this way, the meaning is completely different.

Everyone knows that Yin Jun’s song can make a singer famous, and they even know that the songs written by Yin Jun can win championships all over the world!

With the living examples of Teresa Teng, Leslie Cheung, Yonglin Tam and others, who aspiring to become a singer would not be willing to accept Yin Jun's guidance and get his songs?

In addition, the second place will receive a creative fund of 500,000 Hong Kong dollars, and the third place will receive 200,000 Hong Kong dollars. These will be cashed in the form of song production, and they will also be able to produce an album above the standard.

That's not all.

Kirin Film Company will also announce that among the outstanding contestants of this season, the best one will be selected to star in a global big-budget film like "Police Academy" directed by Yin Jun!

This is even more remarkable!

The person Xiangjiang is most proud of is Li Xiaolong, and he is famous as a movie star.

If there is an opportunity to appear in front of movie audiences around the world like Li Xiaolong, it is probably the biggest dream of everyone who is interested in acting!

With music and movies going together like this, Yin Jun didn't believe that any of those outstanding young people in Xiangjiang would be unmoved!

There are also generous rewards for the audience.

Starting from the top 32, anyone who guesses the winner, runner-up, or third runner-up will receive generous rewards. However, as the number of people becomes smaller and smaller, the rewards will also decrease.

The highest prize is 100,000 cash, shared among the top 32 guessers. If 10 people guess correctly, 10 people will share it, and if 1 person guesses correctly, they will take it all!

In each game, Kylin TV will also give lucky draws based on the viewers who participate in the voting, which will be announced in the "Kylin Daily" the next day.

The prizes range from 1 RMB of soap and toothpaste to 1,000 RMB of large TVs. There are many kinds of prizes, which are guaranteed to make those teachers enthusiastically watch the competition and participate enthusiastically.

Think about it!

With such an extremely complicated and calculating variety show operating model thirty years later, compared with the crude model of the 1980s like Wireless TVB, who is better?

This is an answer you can answer with your eyes closed!

Poor TVB, thought it had a head start, but little did it know that the real predator was watching with a sneer from behind!
