"Let me tell you, your ultra-selective series and running man series are supposed to be popular throughout Asia, but I have never heard of any demand from Europeans and Americans to buy them!" Liu Huan suddenly realized.
Liu Qingshan nodded, "As for our music magazine, there are strict copyright restrictions there, and the laws there are so weird that it's unimaginable. If a competitor intends to take action on copyright issues, a phone call can make the whole company The filming of the show has been terminated!"
"Well, the rules over there are a bit too formal. Let's not talk about him. Let's talk to me about this program!"
Liu Qingshan stood up and poured tea for everyone present, and then slowly said: "First of all, I need to explain that my original intention of creating this program is to revive the performing arts career of a powerful singer who has been dormant for a long time, and to revive the entire mainland music scene. Shuffle the cards and awaken people to what real singing is, which is especially important nowadays when online songs are so popular!"
Liu Huan sighed deeply: "Your concept has been told to me before, and I support it with both hands, but this will definitely greatly disrupt the current pop music ecology, leaving idol groups with nowhere to escape. The records behind them The company may jointly protest."
Liu Qingshan smiled disdainfully, "So what? Let the traffic era take over the entire music market? Let me give you an example. I wonder if you have heard of it. Han Guo has recently made a big fuss on the music charts of Laos and the United States. Big joke!"
"I really haven't heard of it, please tell me."
"A popular male singer who has established himself as the king of Asian music in Hanguo seems to have been dazzled by the recent marketing achievements. He branded his new album as an international star and introduced it to the American market. It was through massive buying and selling of traffic on various charts that month that two of the songs shot up to the top three of the major charts overnight.”
"Oh, that's it. I know a little bit about it."
"But they only became famous for about ten days before the two songs were criticized by various music critics until they were finally removed from the shelves. Later, evidence of the issue of buying traffic behind the scenes was also found and disclosed online, so that subsequently For several months, almost all European and American charts have strictly boycotted all music works by cold singers from entering the market. What does this mean?"
"Does it mean that pure capital operation methods are not welcomed in seemingly open and free Western countries?"
"For this reason, there is another more important factor. Real music lovers in the European and American markets are the mainstream of the market. We cannot deny this. It is not a matter of personal quality, but it goes back to the fact that they are better than us. Get in touch with pop music issues in advance!"
"Yes, the genre of pop music originally appeared in their cultural environment. Otherwise, how could it be called the center of world pop culture."
"Relatively speaking, there are too few people in the mainland who like serious music, but why are people with slightly better vocal conditions jokingly called the national team in the music industry? At least it shows that our people like people with real music. There are still many people there, but it’s a pity that most of the songs in their playlists are rarely original by us mainlanders. What does this mean?”
"Of course the development of music in our mainland is extremely backward!"
"So, I don't care about any joint protests. Let the national team in the minds of the audience become the mainstream of the market again. This is what I want to do most. Only by truly defining the level of singers and supporting their development can we start from Fundamentally solve the problem of low music creation ability, instead of letting those low-quality music that only knows four chords dare to publish popular!"
"Well, in the final analysis it is still a market-oriented issue!"
"To be honest, I am also a member of traffic capital. For example, my XY girl group is a direct product of traffic stars! But without my girl group, the impact of the cold wave will only become more serious. Isn't this undeniable? "
"Indeed, your girl group can now lead the trend of girl groups in Han Country!"
"And I am gradually changing their music style, increasingly integrating it with elements of ancient music. However, such a change does not happen in one day, but requires a long process of adaptation! After all, children today only know Follow the trend, to me
There is a lack of understanding of their traditional culture. "
"Then why don't you develop a boy band at the same time?"
"I had similar ideas at first, but the more I came into contact with the entertainment industry in Hanguo, the more I felt that there was no need to develop a boy band, because they already have ten years of market experience, and I want to replace what they have brought. The market impact is simply unrealistic. For example, the image design is already deeply ingrained!"
"It's true. All the young boys in today's boy bands are very girly. Some like to wink and be cute, and some speak in a high voice, as if they are learning the tone of girls. Why can't these young guys in their early 20s How about showing your sunny and masculine side?"
"Nowadays, boy bands are gradually becoming more girly and becoming a cancer in the entertainment industry. It makes no sense for me to get involved at this time, because the current fandom is indeed getting younger, and most of the fans are underage children. They are still I have not established a correct sense of aesthetics, so I will be misled by boys who are girls. My ideas may affect adults, but I don’t have the confidence to guide this younger class."
"Then what does that ball look like in your mind?"
"First of all, they have positive energy. Their conduct in life is commendable, and their business skills will not stretch their hips; secondly, they must put an end to all feminine styles. Each one has its own characteristics, at least the image of a sunny boy, rather than relying on women. Wear heavy makeup to express your appearance!"
This topic did not continue, and Liu Huan soon asked the core question of this music variety show.
"I have a question about the competition system for singers. To be honest, after you told me, I went to professional music critics for advice. Their opinions were basically positive!"
Liu Qingshan is not disgusted with such a serious attitude. After all, he has been famous for too many years and will never ruin his reputation in the industry because of a variety show.
In other words, the higher your status, the more you cherish your reputation. Liu Qingshan still has a deep understanding and clear understanding of this.
"In each performance, 500 audiences listen and participate in the voting, and their specific candidates come from five different eras; there are also expert consultants who only comment on the performance of the participating singers and do not participate in the scoring and selection. Every job When counting votes, professional experts will conduct on-site supervision, and they will be very serious and responsible for each contestant's vote count to prevent shady phenomena."
He didn't mind going over the specific operation methods again, because Liu Huan was famous for his professionalism and integrity in the mainland music scene, and he never followed the crowd or followed what others said.
Moreover, his character is also a model figure in the industry. He is strict with himself, has a persistent pursuit of art, has a mature personality but is not sophisticated, is upright and not pretentious in character, and is well known in the industry for his generous mind.
"What are the selection criteria for the expert panel?"
"It is mainly composed of well-known and impartial music critics, and several professional musicians assist the participating singers in selecting and arranging songs, but they will not participate in the final scoring and ranking."
"What's the standard for a hearing of 500 spectators?"
"Generally, they are selected from people who know music well and love music. The candidates for the first season are carefully selected from hundreds of thousands of applicants. The selection process is under the on-site supervision of the notary office. Basically, it is done. Elimination of candidates from three aspects: stakeholder groups, relatives and friends, community of interest members, and their respective fan groups and default champion factors!"
"What about the settings for the voting session?"
"It is also based on the supervision of notaries. In an independent and closed voting venue, they will open the seal and review the number of votes. The staff will count the results manually. Only 3 singers can be selected on one ticket. How many singers can be selected on one ticket? Any more or less votes will be deemed invalid, and each ticket has a stub. After all viewers have voted, members of the expert advisory group will immediately affix the sealing number by hand, thus eliminating any possibility of fraud."
"Shanzi, I'm sorry that there are so many strict process settings, because I have been separately assigned by the Musicians Association. But it is not because they have doubts about the program itself. On the contrary, they think this This method will help the progress and development of mainland pop music, and only by knowing more can we make further promotion and recommendations!"
Liu Qingshan's eyes lit up, "So, it's the agreement
Will you pay attention to this show? "
Liu Huan smiled and nodded: "Not only them, but also many older generation musicians and musicians have similar ideas to you. However, due to ability issues, it was only reflected in concepts before. Now I heard that some people have actually taken action. , Of course I have some thoughts in my heart @ But don’t worry, I still understand this group of people, they don’t have any interest needs, they are just out of consideration for the development of the industry!”
"Can you tell me about those people?"
"Many people are just lecturers in professional colleges or independent creators. Most of them are not well-known, and you may not even know them."
"Are there senior musicians like Master Gu among them?"
"Yes, but they told me before that they don't want their fame to affect this show. In the future, they will only speak in the name of the association and not as individuals!"
"I understand, these people really love music, and they don't want to be tainted with too much commercial atmosphere."
"Yes, when they found me, I thought they would have their own needs. Unfortunately, the facts proved that I have a narrow consciousness. Not only did these people not want their views to be mixed with any commercial flavor, they even I don’t want to reveal my name either!”
Liu Qingshan's expression was complicated at this time. He was not only inexplicably moved, but also indescribable shock and incomprehensible.
Because he himself was motivated by business, he still lacked a deep understanding of this almost idealistic higher moral character of educating and entertaining.
