It’s hard for Deputy Director Gao to be unhappy.
At the beginning, it was only in response to his nephew's various entanglements and pleas that he agreed to let Li Yi participate in the recording of "Three Meals a Day" through the back door.
Unexpectedly, this is a lucky star!
The program's ratings exploded, attracting countless slow variety shows to follow suit in the market. As a result, Gao Lin was able to take action and was promoted from the director of the variety show department to the deputy director of Mango Channel.
Now, Li Yi has sent him another show, "The Voice of China", which has a bright future. Although it is impossible to go up further, he will feel more stable and secure.
"Xiaojie is really lucky to have such a good brother and such a good entrepreneurial partner like you."
Gao Lin patted Li Yi on the shoulder and kept talking.
Li Yi looked at Ye Jie next to him and said with a smile: "I am also very lucky. Brother Jie always takes care of me."
"Okay, okay, brothers working together is better than anything else."
Hearing this, Gao Lin smiled even more happily, turned to Zhang Bo and said: "Mr. Zhang, welcome to our Mango Channel to record the program. If you have any lack of care, just tell me!"
"Very good, very good." Zhang Bo smiled and nodded repeatedly.
After exchanging pleasantries and expressing his concern, Gao Lin said goodbye and left.
Ye Jie sat down aside, not caring that Zhang Bo was right next to him, and said: "People from Wang Xiaoji, Tesu Lun, and Golden Throat have already arrived. Director Wang Huaizhong is accompanying them. They will watch the first recording session." , we are preparing to open an auction for naming and sponsorship tomorrow.”
Generally speaking, any program team that has something to offer will negotiate with advertisers before the program is recorded.
The Voice received many offers during the audition period. For example, several brands mentioned above, I don’t know if they had discussed it, but they all contacted them privately and offered to pay 50 million in naming fees.
But both Ye Jie and Wang Huaizhong are too few.
It's not greedy, but compared to the popularity of the show, the popularity of the mentor, and even the box office boom of "Charlotte Trouble" during this period, it has added a lot of weight to this show.
Li Yi also felt that it was not enough. Although he did not know how much the naming fee for the first season of The Voice of Earth was, it should be more than 50 million. Moreover, the battles he created in Blue Star were undoubtedly more Big, the program can be said to have become popular before it was aired.
Fifty million is really a bit unjustifiable.
Li Yi thought for a while and asked: "We are also recording the first episode. How much did it cost to produce it?"
Ye Jie knew these data very well and said without thinking: "In addition to the planned publicity and distribution that has not been spent yet, it is around 60 million. Now we have the recording hall of Mango Channel and ready-made audio equipment. If we can save a little, the production of the first season should not exceed 80 million."
"The naming fee is at least 80 million. If it is lower than this number, we will discuss it after it is broadcast." Li Yi pondered and gave a number.
To be honest, he didn't know much about whether the show could be as successful as Earth.
Because he didn't play the most criticized but also the most attractive part of the sound - the players' back stories and misfortune.
However, you can’t lose money.
Li Yi didn't participate much in The Voice, but he also taught several instructors the "program effect". That is, when he is attracted to a contestant, he can rush to grab her and it doesn't matter if he "quarrels".
He also often emphasized to Ye Jie and Wang Huaizhong: A real and truly good voice will truly establish the brand of "good voice".
The auditions will not be outsourced, they will always be in your own hands.
Then, the income of the program will become much clearer.
They only have 10% of TV station advertising, and Mango Channel will not participate in the advertising profit sharing within the program.
Apart from this, the program has no other hidden income, so he wants to directly recover the cost from the naming fee.
However, Ye Jie and Wang Huaizhong have bigger appetites than Li Yi.
He rubbed his hands and said with an embarrassed smile: "Director Wang and I also discussed that if it's less than 100 million, let's not talk about it for now."
Li Yi: "."
Zhang Bo was dumbfounded when he heard this. I must be a good boy, this little guy is really going to become a capital.
At this time, Zhang Lei, Lin Dan and Ye Yaodong came to visit.
Zhang Lei is the music director of the show, Ye Yaodong is his deputy, and Lin Dan is the host of the show.
As soon as he entered the door, Zhang Lei joked: "You two are coming over, but the instructor doesn't know about it. What if you don't turn your chair later?"
Speaking of this, Zhang Bo also became worried: "Yes, Xiaoyi, why don't we inform the instructor? If we don't even turn around, wouldn't we be embarrassed?"
Zhang Lei looked like he was watching a good show: "Brother Bo, you can't break the rules of the show at the beginning."
Li Yi also nodded with a righteous face: "Yes, the rules of the show cannot be broken."
Zhang Bo was about to accept his fate when he heard Ye Yaodong say: "Brother Yi, don't be afraid. These instructors used to record songs and listened to his demos every day. I guess he heard it as soon as he opened his mouth."
Lin Dan was a good person and comforted him: "Brother Bo, you are the best actor. You can't sing without being embarrassed."
After talking and laughing, after a while, the staff came over to inform us that the recording of the program was about to begin.
The three of them went back to work, while Li Yi and Zhang Bo stayed in the lounge and watched the live broadcast on TV.
"Welcome to "The Voice of China", pursue your true dreams and show your good voice. Hello everyone, I am the host of the show, Lin Dan."
"On this stage, I don't care about appearance or height, I just listen to your voice."
Following Lin Dan's opening remarks, there was a wave of noise in the studio.
So far, the competition format of the show has not been announced. The audience is both looking forward to it and curious. How can we not look at the appearance and only listen to the voice?
Do the contestants all wear masks and sing?
Next, Lin Dan introduced the rules of the competition in detail.
"Have you seen these five chairs? This is the position of the five mentors, and the direction is correct. When the contestants perform, the mentors will face you."
"The instructor will only decide who to turn to based on his own ears and preference for music."
"If multiple mentors choose to turn around, it will be up to the players to decide which mentor to choose."
"."
After Lin Dan explained the rules, without giving the audience a chance to react, he shouted loudly: "Then let us welcome the five mentors to the stage."
The five teachers arrived before they appeared.
【Sing if you want to, sing loudly
Even if no one applauds me
At least I can still
Brave self-appreciation]
Liu Yang, Zheng Chaoyang, and Sun Tao came to the left side of the stage singing songs.
【Sing if you want to sing and sing beautifully
No matter how empty the stage is
I can see it one day
Waving light stick]
Kitty Yang and Lin Yufei appeared on the other side.
This is the theme song prepared by Li Yi for the first season of "The Voice of China". Not to mention, it is quite suitable. As soon as these two choruses sounded, the stage seemed to start to exude the light of dreams.
In the large lounge backstage, many players were staring at the screen with bright eyes.
The audience in the studio applauded and cheered very much.
After the five instructors interacted with the audience, the first contestant soon appeared on the stage.
This is a contestant that Li Yi is more impressed with. Xu Junjie was once a popular artist in a certain company, and he met him once at the Music House award ceremony.
Li also knew the arrangement of the show, and the contestants with better conditions would be arranged to appear in the front, but he didn't know whether it was because Xu Junjie was better looking, more topics after being eliminated, or because he was really good at singing.
Xu Junjie sang "The Wind Rises".
Li Yi was a little surprised, not because he was so good at singing, but because his timbre was very similar to that of an old friend on Earth, also named Junjie.
As we all know, singing skills are the standard for measuring a singer's strength, and timbre is an important factor in determining whether a singer can be popular.
It's strange that with his good singing skills and very recognizable tone, Xu Junjie hasn't become popular.
Not surprisingly, when the five instructors heard the first chorus, they slammed the button and turned around one after another.
Among them, Yang Jieyi and Zheng Chaoyang were still busy. Zheng Chaoyang held his breath and signaled to wait, while Yang Jieyi patted Zheng Chaoyang's blocking hand away with an anxious look and pressed it down.
The five instructors all looked surprised when they saw Xu Junjie's handsome appearance.
After Xu Junjie finished singing, Lin Yufei looked worried: "It's over, it's over, the first contestant is so handsome, will the audience question it when the show is broadcast?"
Liu Yang turned to face the audience behind him and said very seriously: "Everyone, I can vouch for my personality. Before recording the show, we had never met any of the contestants. The instructor's dressing room is also separate from the contestants."
The audience is quite convinced by the words of music godfather Liu Yang. Most importantly, the names of Li Yi and Wang Huaizhong are also very credible. Moreover, this contestant can sing really well.
Yang Jieyi said with a look of infatuation: "You are so handsome, why don't you debut as an idol?"
"Normal, normal."
Zheng Chaoyang immediately said narcissistically: "I am so handsome but I am not an idol."
Yang Jieyi looked at him and curled her lips in disgust.
Maybe it was because they got along more with Li Yi. After changing their name to Phoenix Legend, the two of them started to learn how to behave in variety shows.
Sun Tao interrupted at the right time: "This contestant, please introduce yourself and tell us why you came to this stage."
On the stage, Xu Junjie nervously grasped the microphone: "Because of coming here, I can realize my music dream."
"Actually, Teacher Yang Jieyi guessed right. I was an idol once I debuted."
Xu Junjie quickly added: "But I have terminated my agency contract. I meet the conditions for participation and I have been promoted through auditions."
oh?
There is a story!
Not only the instructor, but also the audience became curious.
Li Yi in the lounge was full of questions. Didn't he emphasize it many times? Why did he still do this?
He quickly sent a message to Ye Jie and asked what was going on.
On the stage, Lin Dan asked curiously: "I looked at the information and found that you are only twenty-four years old and have been debuting for a year. But as far as I know, idol artists' managers have longer contracts. , how did you terminate the contract?"
"Because the company failed to fulfill what they promised me. I wanted to be a singer, but they kept asking me to act. Despite this, I borrowed some money from family and friends to compensate the company, and I was able to terminate the contract."
Speaking of this incident, Xu Junjie felt that he couldn't bear to look back on the past, but his future was confused, and he didn't know whether his choice was right or wrong.
The instructor and even the audience were deeply impressed and felt sorry for this player with a unique voice and handsome appearance.
Yang Jieyi even said: "I want this player, don't take it from me!"
"The choice now lies in Junjie's own hands."
Liu Yang talked about his advantages: "Junjie, I can see that you are a child who loves music very much. If you join my team, I can give you good music guidance. Your timbre is very recognizable, but in terms of singing skills There are still many areas that need to be strengthened.”
"Xu Junjie, come to me. I have a concert tour next year. No matter what your final score is, I will take you with me and let you be my concert guest!" Lin Yufei was very positive.
Sun Tao: "."
Several instructors began to compete for students, and the audience started eating melons in a funny way. Several music celebrities were like grabbing eggs in the supermarket. Such a competition system is a bit interesting!
However, Li Yi got a headache from watching it. Could it be that there were other time-travelers in the program team?
At this time, Ye Jie also rushed back to the lounge.
"You still can't believe Brother Jie?"
As soon as Ye Jie sat down, he was a little dissatisfied and said: "These information have been verified, and the players themselves are willing to say it. What's the problem?"
Hearing this, Li Yi breathed a sigh of relief, but felt a little embarrassed. After all, he had chosen to trust and delegate power from the beginning.
Ye Jie explained: "I understand your worries, but variety shows must have some storytelling to make them more enjoyable. Don't worry, we will definitely guarantee the truth. At least the program team will not take the initiative to commit fraud."
"Mine, mine." Li Yi apologized.
But there is one thing to say, Wang Huaizhong's team does have something, and they have captured the traffic code of the show from the beginning. It can only be said that the world's heroes cannot be underestimated.
The recording was still going on. Xu Junjie really wanted to make progress, so he chose Liu Yang.
Next, two contestants appeared on the stage. They were ordinary-looking grassroots people who had devoted a lot to their music dreams and then gave up. It was not until they saw Good Voice that they made up their minds to pursue their dreams again.
It is a pity that none of their singing impressed the five mentors. This let the audience know that the story is inspirational, but ultimately it is the singing that speaks.
Next, Zhang Bo comes on stage.
Zhang Bo felt that he was in trouble and was probably going to be embarrassed. He was no better than the previous two eliminated players.
However, his worries were obviously unnecessary.
As soon as he appeared on the stage, the audience screamed in surprise. No matter how unclear the instructor was, he had a guess in his heart that the person who came was probably a well-known artist.
With this mentality, Zhang Bo sang a few lines and was recognized.
When he was about to finish singing, the five instructors looked at each other again, clicked the button together, and turned around.
Liu Yang said with a smile: "As soon as I hear the singing, it will be you, otherwise I wouldn't turn around."
"Me too, hey, I'll give you some face!" Lin Yufei said helplessly.
Several mentors have worked with Zhang Bo in FHM concerts and movies, and they are not very familiar with him, but it doesn't matter if they joke around on the show.
Zhang Bo also joked back: "Haha, what you are playing with is my leftovers. In the movie, you all have to listen to me!"
The interaction between several people caused waves of exclamations from the audience.
In the front row of the auditorium, Wang Huaizhong and the people from the brand next to him said with a smile: "Our program has already become popular before it is broadcast. On the day of the broadcast on the 25th, the movie has not been released yet, so the popularity will definitely be great. You really should Be bold.”
Zhang Bo did not go back to the lounge directly, but followed Lin Dan to the side of the stage.
The next person to appear is Li Yi.
The screams at the scene were louder than when Zhang Bo appeared, as if they were about to overturn the entire studio.
Unlike Zhang Bo's treatment, as soon as Li Yi spoke, the five instructors also heard it and clicked the button without thinking.
Like fans, everyone stood up from their seats, followed Li Yilue's deep singing, and shook their hands.
It seems that Li Yi really deserves such treatment, and no one in the audience feels it is inappropriate.
