"What, you want to be a music composer?" Ye Yaodong was surprised when he heard the news.
Only then did I remember that Li Yi was still a shareholder of a company.
But isn't it just a grassroots team?
"Well, it can be considered a talent show.
It's still early days, but it will definitely be done.
Brother Lei's music director has been decided. Let me tell you in advance so that you can make a schedule for me. "Li Yi nodded, suddenly feeling a bit like Wang Huaizhong before.
The production team hadn't even gotten together yet, so they asked others to keep the schedule.
"That's definitely no problem." Although Ye Yaodong felt that this was unreliable, he still agreed directly.
After all, it is really comfortable to work with Li Yi. The so-called fame and fortune are nothing more than that.
Because of Li Yi's songs and Zhou Siwen's album, the producer Ye Yaodong's reputation in the industry has increased a lot, and big-name singers have begun to seek cooperation with him.
His waist is also much stiffer. If a popular singer wants to torture him, he will have to pay another price.
The next day, Li Yi took Ye Jie to meet Wang Huaizhong and Zhang Lei in a teahouse.
Ye Jie and the others had known each other since they were recording three meals a day, so no introduction was needed.
Wang Huaizhong poured a cup of tea for the two of them and said with a smile: "Xiaoyi, although the Lao Banzhang here is not as good as the one you gave me, it is still very good."
"I'm not used to drinking this stuff, why not give me a can of Coke." Li Yi drank the tea and said honestly.
Zhang Lei took a sip of tea, sighed and commented: "Young, still young."
"Yes Yes Yes."
Li Yi was already very familiar with them. He spoke his thoughts straight to the point without being polite: "I named this variety show "The Voice of China".
Different from the music programs currently on the market, this program will require a lot of preparatory work in the early stage, requiring the director team to travel all over the country to find truly good folk voices.
The essence of music is always beautiful singing, so this program will not look at faces, only listen to voices.
In the previous recording, the tutors were also blindly selected and listened to blindly. After this round is over, the team competition between the tutors will begin."
Li Yi talked about the program features, content, competition system, etc. in great detail.
Ye Jie has registered the trademark and intellectual property rights of Good Voice in advance.
Although this cannot guarantee anything, Li also believes in Wang Huaizhong and Zhang Lei.
Even if they can't cooperate, they won't commit any plagiarism.
This matter cannot be accomplished by Fanxing alone. Since cooperation is required, considering all aspects, Wang Huaizhong and Zhang Lei are undoubtedly the best partners at present.
Wang Huaizhong is not only a variety show director, but also has his own production company, which has many variety show-related practitioners, including directors, planners, choreographers, cameramen, etc.
He himself is not good at music synthesis, but he has other talents under his command.
For example, the editors and directors Li Yi came into contact with a lot, Lao Zhang and Xiao Zhang, were both from Wang Huaizhong's company.
As for Zhang Lei, his Stone Music Studio is a very powerful music team.
He also has deep connections and has collaborated with kings and queens of singers. Inviting him as a mentor will definitely help a lot in this regard.
The most important thing is, of course, that they have a good relationship and that everyone can make money together.
With the help of these two people and the support of his uncle, Li Yishi really didn't know how this show could lose money.
In the entertainment industry, the most taboo thing is to eat alone. Even if Fanxing has the power to monopolize everything in the future, he must appropriately share some profits with others, or do some resource exchanges.
Wang Huaizhong and Zhang Lei became more and more surprised as they listened.
To be honest, when they learned that Li Yi had the idea of engaging in music entertainment, they really didn't expect that he would take it so big.
When they heard that "the director team needs to travel all over the country to find good voices hidden among the people," they already realized that things were not simple.
I thought Li Yi just needed their help, but now it sounds like he is looking for cooperation.
There is no doubt that "don't look at the face, just listen to the voice" is a very good and novel selling point, and the competition rules are also very complete.
Li Yi's idea was very mature, and he obviously didn't come up with it just by slapping his forehead.
"How did you get so smart that you now even want to eat the cake of variety show production?"
Zhang Lei joked, took a sip of tea, and pondered for a few seconds: "I think this variety show is going to be successful."
“I also think we have a head start, but we need to talk about cooperation carefully.
Making a program does not require detailed planning. There are many things to discuss, including preliminary preparations, program recording, broadcast channels, etc. "Wang Huaizhong nodded, and then expressed his concerns.
Li Yi didn't answer. He picked up the mung bean cake on the table and ate it. It tasted pretty good.
It was Ye Jie's turn to speak, he pushed up his glasses, cleared his throat and said, "Don't worry about the broadcast platform.
My uncle is Gao Jiexiong. "
"Who?" Zhang Lei turned his head in confusion.
"The one on Mango Channel?" Wang Huaizhong naturally knew him. It was through Director Gao's back door that Li Yi was able to participate in the recording of Three Meals. He didn't expect Ye Jie to have such a relationship. No, he should be called Director Gao now.
"Um."
Ye Jie nodded and continued: "Well, Mango TV is very optimistic about this plan.
We can choose two ways of cooperation with the platform. The first is investment sharing.
The second is that we bear all the production costs ourselves, so that we can directly participate in the advertising share of the TV station.
If you are more courageous, we can also bet directly."
Wang Huaizhong didn't speak anymore, and he obviously started to think.
"What about the Mango Station? What riddles are you playing here?" Zhang Lei was a little anxious.
"Director Gao of Mango Terrace." Li Yi answered his question.
Ye Jie waved his hand cautiously and said, "Deputy's deputy."
"So awesome? You can do it. At least you won't lose too much if you lose money."
The biggest worry has been solved. Zhang Lei naturally has no problem and immediately said: "I have no problem here. I can handle the music team and live band. As for the tutor, do you have a preliminary candidate?"
"What about Sister Jieyi and Brother Chaoyang? They are considered mentors.
I haven’t decided on the other ones yet, but it will definitely have to be a big-name singer with a big celebrity or high popularity. "Li Yi is very happy that Zhang Lei is on the road. He is worthy of being my brother Lei Zi.
"No problem, I'll go back and add it up." After saying that, Zhang Lei gently elbowed Wang Huaizhong next to him.
"Okay, this show can be done, but I have to go back for a meeting." Wang Huaizhong was obviously very optimistic about this show. After drinking the tea in the cup, he wanted to leave immediately.
After leaving the teahouse and getting into the car, Li Yi said, "Brother Jie, you are solely responsible for what happens next."
"Don't worry, it will be done properly. Even if cooperation doesn't work, there will still be benevolence and justice." Ye Jie smiled.
Li Yi believed in Ye Jie.
If you want to become bigger and stronger, you can't live alone. This is what Ye Jie and Li Yi said.
Then, Ye Jie remembered something: "Siwen went to record Mango Channel's "Singer", you know that, right?"
"I know, what's wrong?"
"An invitation was also sent to you over there. What do you say? Do you want to go and have fun?"
"No, if you want me to be embarrassed, just say so." Li Yi shook his head repeatedly.
Although Blue Star's "Singer" can sing original songs or even new songs, there are not many restrictions on the repertoire.
But in the final analysis, this kind of professional stage is more about singing skills and interpretation of songs.
Li is also confident in choosing suitable songs, but when it comes to singing skills, how can he compare with those great masters.
Li is also quite self-aware.
