Asamiya Junko arrived on the fourth day. In the afternoon of the plane landing, she appeared on MCC TV's The Voice program.
Also accompanying them was a business inspection team of more than a dozen people, led by an NKH vice president and executive director named Sachiko Kataishi.
This person also has the identity of Asamiya Junko's sister-in-law, and her husband is the wife of the president and NKH chairman Asamiya Satsuki.
NKH is the only private TV station in the small island country, and the Asamiya family occupies the absolute dominance. Asamiya Junko is the third generation of the family and the youngest. She has just turned 30 years old this year.
In order to wait for their arrival, Liu Qingshan even asked FOX director Randy to go back to New York to explain some matters and then rushed back. In the next few days, he would follow this group to Shanghai TV Station for further inspection.
Since the Music Awards were the next day, Liu Qingshan happened to be on stage at the main studio of MCC, so he met these people in their office building.
Starting this year, the three major broadcasting stations will no longer participate in the hosting, but will be hosted solely by the Seoul City Government. As one of the hosting venues before the restructuring, the main broadcast hall of MCC is also the rehearsal hall before the official performance of the stadium. In the past two days, it has become It is the place with the highest concentration of practitioners in the folk song industry of the Han Dynasty.
Compared with these people, Liu Qingshan has a unique status as a special guest. He does not participate in public rehearsals, but appears alone at a time.
So he came early in the morning, completely different from the Hanguo artists who would rehearse in the afternoon and evening.
Therefore, before noon, the huge studio was only open to him. Even Jin Xishan had to accompany other artists to rehearse in the afternoon.
The studio is also designed to be the same stage as the stadium. We don’t go there directly because the current stage construction is under intense construction.
Her debut album has now broken the double platinum sales record. You must know that this achievement was completed within ten days. If you include the more than 900,000 copies in mainland China, the current sales of this album have exceeded one million.
Of course, record sales certification is formulated by official organizations in various countries and will change in a few years. This is due to the emergence of online digital audio, which has caused the global record industry to fall into a state of rapid decline.
The traditional sales certification is becoming less and less convincing, the certification method sponsored by the Cold Country Music Industry Association is also gradually weakening, and the influence of the Song Awards is showing signs of decline every year.
However, record sales have always been a barometer of the music industry and cannot be completely replaced in a short period of time.
Therefore, in the face of record-breaking sales, Jin Xishan's album is tantamount to a shot in the arm for the record industry in a qualitative sense, so this year's Music Awards also pays special attention to this girl who has only made her music debut less than a month ago. , it is a rare phenomenon to make an exception to this year's Grand Prize.
As for Liu Qingshan, who has not even released an album, it is naturally another matter. In order to invite him to perform, the organizer paid a lot of money. Not only did he have two unique singing opportunities, but he also promised extra Give XY girl group the right to perform in public.
For this performance, Liu Qingshan even delayed the return date of the Punk Brothers again and again, just to help Jin Xishan and the XY girl group create influence.
You must know that the Punk Brothers are one of the top production teams in the European and American electronic music industry, and the popularity of their music works is miraculous in the West.
It is such a graphic electronic music group that actually only serves as Liu Qingshan's musical background in Asia. This shows that the entertainment industry in the cold country attaches great importance to inviting him.
At present, not only are the two brothers following him without complaint, doing bits and pieces of auxiliary work, but the mask dance troupe, which has become an instant hit in the United States, is also taking advantage of the limited few days before the finals of "Talent Show" Come to Hanguo to help out.
This dance troupe is also a legend in the global hip-hop world. The dances they perform are the latest trend of modern hip-hop. In addition, they create difficult movements by learning the 36 moves of Huaquan. They have become the top battle (fight) in the industry. dance) standard.
These two teams have high status and influence in Europe and the United States, so this year's Music Awards has attracted serious attention from relevant fan groups around the world.
How could the industry in the cold country not know that, especially the boy band culture that is a local specialty, they are trying their best to imitate it. Therefore, wherever they appear in rehearsal venues and venues, they will be far away from the boy band members who sneak in through different channels. Onlookers.
It was the same this morning. Although there were only a few people in the studio except the staff, there were people lying on the glass in every corner outside the window to steal the show.
Now that the official rehearsal was due to Liu Qingshan's temporary departure, several popular boy bands took the opportunity to enter the rehearsal site.
Jesseni and the others are not repelled by the arrival of these people. These street dancers come from the streets and have long been accustomed to being watched.
At this time, Liu Qingshan was in a conference room on the sixth floor, having a lively conversation with the inspectors from the small island country.
Junko Asamiya, who was introduced by Mie Nakajima, became very familiar with Shan Jinxi in a short period of time, and the two of them spent most of the time whispering to each other.
Liu Qingshan was surrounded by the inspection team and conducted detailed consultation on some specific aspects of the introduction of the program.
He invited Randy back just to deal with them. Liu Qingshan even wanted to bring over the show's more mature London team.
But considering that Junko Asamiya had to visit three other TV stations one by one, she finally decided not to make too much noise.
If you include NKH, the number of Good Voice's very special alliances has reached five. No matter which party is involved, they will only welcome this kind of cooperation.
After all, while the program is being launched, allowing singers who have emerged through the talent show to have a broader space for development is the biggest driving force for whether this program will receive a positive response from the public and the market.
The enthusiasm of the contestants is the foundation of commercial intervention, and the responsiveness of the market is the most direct reflection of the program's effectiveness. Moreover, programs of the same type belonging to five different countries not only have no competitive relationship, but will learn from each other and stimulate each other, so It’s not surprising that the five producers are willing to work together to discuss plans.
The more important point is that this type of cooperation has opened up a novel variety show style, and being able to be the first to be included in the first batch of commercial operations will undoubtedly be a great thing for each TV station.
Liu Qingshan also said when these people were most interested: "The winner of the last draft of the brother unit and the special guest performer of another producer in the second year will also be a huge publicity stunt. And every The popular songs produced by a regional program can also be used to cover each other, and there are enough economic benefits behind these things to be explored!"
Randy's nose turned red due to his over-excitement: "Not only that, the finals of each session can also be held through a five-city tour, and there will be a few more concerts. These are all commercial gains!"
Liu Qingshan nodded: "In addition to the twenty judges joining each other, enough laughter and the complementation of the audience group, there are many things that can be done here. In my opinion, they are all very operable. !”
Kataishi Sachiko said with a smile: "Basically, we agree on this co-production method, and I think that by comparing each other, it will be easier to make up for the shortcomings and highlight each other's advantages."
Randy responded with a smile: "I would also like to remind Ms. Sachiko to make a digression. Mr. Liu has many similar projects that can be cooperated with. Using this program to explore the best way to cooperate is far more meaningful than The Voice. The business benefits are much more profound!”
Another island native was surprised: "Mr. Liu has other program plans?"
Liu Qingshan nodded: "According to the different cultures, customs and market environments of each country, other program types can be flexibly developed, but the overall framework is focused on music and promoting local customs, which is completely separated from politics and current affairs. Yes, I think there are more cooperative programs like this, which will promote friendly people-to-people relations between various ethnic groups and be conducive to common development!"
Randy expressed his agreement: "I have discussed Mr. Liu's ideas with many colleagues in New York and Los Angeles. He develops projects based on the theory of world harmony. He summarizes this cooperation method in terms of the global village. On the basis of mutual respect and mutual help, after winning the positive response of the largest public audience, its increasingly huge commercial value will follow!"
Liu Qingshan had indeed had relevant exchanges with him before, and the idea of condensing the entire world atmosphere into a global village was proposed at that time.
However, different countries have different systems and beliefs. For example, the "world police" mentality of the United States and the United States will be the biggest obstacle to future cooperation.
The emergence of the term "global village" is to strive to avoid power psychology and styles in future variety shows, and to define the purpose of this cooperation method in advance.
Only if this concept is truly understood and digested by producers from various countries will it be the basis for future cooperation, otherwise everything will be in vain.
Therefore, it is equivalent to the fact that at the beginning of cooperation, the participants must have the most basic basis of identification that is independent of politics, ethnicity, class, and race before they can formally join.
Of course, to achieve this goal, Liu Qingshan's current influence in the entertainment industry is obviously not enough, but it is necessary to set a core cooperation basis for this early, and it is also the cornerstone of his ultimate goal of realizing the entertainment dynasty.
Therefore, he further added: "This is a beautiful wish that is almost a fantasy. The essence of world unity is that it is out of reach, but I am willing to take the first step for this, on the basis of mutual benefit for all parties involved. There is still a long way to go to gradually realize it!”
As soon as he said these words, not only the guests from the small island country, but also several MCC executives and Randy were also deeply shocked in their hearts.
Jin Xishan added a sentence: "Shanzi has been committed to charity since the day he debuted, and it is also because of the support of this concept of world unity. Perhaps most people think his behavior is naive and beautiful, but he has the courage to take a step forward." We have taken the first step and I firmly believe that more and more people with lofty ideals will join us in the future!”
