This star’s style is wrong

The audition myth "Dream Girl" created by Tong Fei back then was a universal audition model.

However, she knew very well that that generation of "Dream Girls" was created by the times.

Even if she restarts the "Dream Girls" IP, it will be just a piece of cake and it will be impossible to recreate the glory of the past.

Now is the traffic era.

All major entertainment companies hire teenage trainees to train them, and then they debut after they are almost trained.

Some entertainment companies even hire boys as young as seven or eight to train.

The average level of professionally trained trainees is definitely higher than that of ordinary people.

"In the audition mode, you have little chance of winning against the trainee mode. Trainees are professionally trained, and they can't compete with the amateurs in the audition." Tong Fei shook her head, not having much confidence in her heart.

Fang Xing smiled faintly and said: "The average level of the trainees in the entertainment company is indeed very high, but what comes out of the assembly line can only be idols, just like handicrafts, they can be very beautiful, and every one of them is very beautiful.

"It's just that art can never come out of the assembly line, because art depends not on training, but on talent."

Especially in the field of vocal music, talent determines the upper limit, and hard work only keeps approaching this upper limit.

Some singers have naturally beautiful voices and wide vocal ranges, just like Vitas on Earth. That kind of vocal range cannot be achieved by trainees through training.

Therefore, trainees trained by entertainment companies can only ensure that the overall level of the group is above average, but they cannot produce real superstars.

Fang Xing paused and continued: "Besides, the trainee mode can basically only engage in the rice circle culture, and it is difficult to get out of the circle. If the program wants to be popular, it needs to be more down-to-earth."

Tong Fei nodded slowly, agreeing with Fang Xing's view.

However, she still shook her head and said: "The truth is this, it is simple to say, but difficult to do.

"This time "The Trend" is produced by Pengcheng Entertainment Company and Chaoyin Culture. I have read the information of the trainees and the quality is really high.

"Moreover, he is very high in all aspects. His appearance alone cannot be compared to ordinary people.

"From the information I have seen, several trainees should have been fine-tuned and are very in line with the aesthetics of the fandom. It is foreseeable that they will become popular."

Today's idols in the fandom are increasingly emphasizing the so-called "appearance".

As long as your "looks" are high enough, even if you are a loser and don't know anything, you can still gain high popularity and debut in a group.

However, the matter of "appearance" is a very subjective standard.

The “looks” that fit the fandom’s aesthetic may not necessarily fit the public’s aesthetic.

Moreover, for a phenomenal show, it is not enough to rely on fans to follow it.

If you want to break out of the industry and become a phenomenon-level program, you must gain public recognition.

Fang Xing kept a calm smile and said, "I plan to do a music talent show that doesn't look at faces and only listens to voices."

"Don't look at the face, just listen to the voice?" Tong Fei was startled.

This concept is exactly the opposite of the model of "Trend Group".

The criteria for selecting trainees of "Trendy Group" are very clear. If you can't sing, you can rap. Even if you sing rap as a poem and recite it, as long as your "looks" are good enough, you can still debut as a group.

Fang Xing is now doing the opposite and wants to do a music talent show that doesn't look at faces and only listens to voices.

In terms of core competitiveness, it is just on par with "Trend Group".

Talent shows in recent years have reached a bottleneck.

Talent shows that are similar to each other have already made the audience fatigued. Except for fans who are still interested in following the show, ordinary viewers have no interest in taking a look at it.

If you want to create a talent show and stand out among the many mediocre talent shows, you must find a new entry point.

"This idea is possible, but how to implement it? Let the singer cover his face and sing?" Tong Fei subconsciously thought of this method.

Fang Xing shook his head and said: "What I want to do is a more down-to-earth music talent show. It is best for the contestants to come from the public and need to be seen by the audience. What I mean is not to look at the face, only to listen to the voice. The instructor cannot see it. Face, only sound can be heard.”

After listening to it, Tong Fei immediately understood what it meant, but she had not yet constructed a complete program format in her mind, so she said uncertainly:

"This idea is very good, but there are still many details that need to be done..."

When she said this, she suddenly felt that when Fang Jing mentioned this plan, his tone was very sure, as if he already had a mature idea.

She quickly asked: "Have you made a decision and are you here to inform me today?"

Fang Xing smiled and said, "I have indeed decided to do this show, but in terms of producing talent shows, Ark Culture has no experience and does not have that many manpower.

“So, I want to cooperate with Mr. Tong and produce this program together.

"Moreover, my plan requires auditions to select contestants. There are not many companies in China that can do auditions."

Tong Fei does have rich experience in auditions.

If we cooperate with Feifan Entertainment, the preparation of this project will be much easier.

Tong Fei pondered for a moment and asked in a serious tone: "Will you join the show as a mentor?"

With Fang Xing's current strength and status, it is impossible for him to become a contestant in a talent show again, so he can only join the show as a mentor.

Fang Xing nodded and replied: "Yes, I will be the mentor myself. My plan is to have four mentors, all of whom will be top-notch, even the King of Heaven and the Queen of Heaven."

"From what you say, the project plan is very mature. How will we cooperate?"

Tong Fei became more and more interested in this draft.

The main reason is that with Fang Xing joining the music talent show as a mentor, no matter how bad it is, it won't be too bad.

If we can really invite a few kings and queens to join as mentors, the popularity will definitely not be low.

"Produced by Ark Culture and co-produced by Feifan Entertainment, it will be broadcast on the star. We haven't started talking about the satellite TV station for the broadcast, but I think it won't be difficult." Fang Xing is very confident that it will be broadcast on the star.

Tong Fei had no doubt at all.

Now Fang Xing is a famous person in the eyes of major TV leaders.

The just-finished "Pretender" was broadcast simultaneously on two major TV stations, and the ratings both broke.

Now that Ark Culture wants to prepare a new project, there is no need to go to the TV station. As long as the news is released, the TV station leaders will take the initiative to come to them and want to cooperate.

As for the video platform, not to mention, you can simply choose it at will.

Tong Fei asked while thinking about it: "How to arrange the singers who are selected?"

"Those who do not have an agent's contract will be given priority to sign with Guangguang Entertainment. However, I do not plan to force the players to sign. It depends entirely on their wishes. Only with loose conditions can we attract truly capable singers." Fang Xing replied.

Today's talent shows are very demanding in terms of contracts.

Especially after the heretic Fang Xing appeared in "Star of Tomorrow", subsequent talent shows set sky-high liquidated damages for trainees' contracts.

It can be said that if you don't sign a team contract, let alone the finals, you won't even make it to the second round.

In fact, this kind of contract does protect the interests of the program producers, but because the contract is too harsh, singers who are more ambitious are not willing to participate.

After all, participating in such a program is equivalent to signing a contract of prostitution. In the next two years, you will be treated like an animal and made money.

After the discussion, Tong Fei could feel that there was a mature plan for the talent show that Fang Xing wanted to produce.

Therefore, she made a prompt decision and agreed: "I can cooperate with this program. How much do you plan to invest?"

Fang Xing thought about this question, but did not have an accurate figure yet, so he replied: "About 150 million. The exact amount depends on how much it costs to hire four mentors with high enough status in the music industry."

This program must cost a lot of money to invite four mentors with high status in the music industry.

Fang Xing will personally serve as a mentor, but the other three mentors can only be solved by favors and money.

Because this program is a new form of music talent show.

So no one knows whether this program will be liked by the audience after it is broadcast.

Therefore, it is impossible to invite mentors based on the reputation of the program.

If you want to invite a mentor with a high enough status in the music world, you have to spend money.

"How much do you plan to spend on the other three mentors?" Tong Fei is sensitive to the amount of investment.

Because the greater the investment, the more difficult it is to recover the cost.

After all, this is a new show. If it is sold out after it is aired, we have to find a way to reduce losses.

Therefore, controlling production costs is the best way to reduce losses.

Fang Xing replied: "I plan to give each mentor 20 million to 30 million, depending on who is invited. You can add more money if appropriate."

Tong Fei raised her eyebrows, feeling that Fang Xing really wanted to spend money to produce this show.

She worried: "The investment amount is too large, and it will be very difficult to recover the cost."

Fang Xing smiled and said, "Mr. Tong can invest as much as he wants. If there is not enough, I will make up for it. If there is additional investment, it will be mine."

Tong Fei felt the strong confidence and courage in Fang Xing's tone.

She never imagined that the young man who was so wild on her show three years ago could still talk and laugh happily after spending hundreds of millions on a show.

"Having said that, Feifan Entertainment will invest 50 million. In addition, if you want to invite a mentor with a high status in the music industry, you need to set aside a part of your network investment." Tong Fei reminded.

For a project like this with an investment of several hundred million, personal relationships are very complicated.

Moreover, singers with high status in the music industry are often not so short of money. Just relying on throwing money is really a bottomless pit.

Therefore, you need to set aside a portion of your investment quota for favors.

"Yes, I understand." Fang Xing nodded in agreement.

"Do you have any thoughts about the other three mentors? Of the four mentors, there must be at least one female mentor. What do you think about the female mentors? There are many divas you have a good relationship with. Do you want to try inviting Zhang Huiying? "Tong Fei started talking about her mentor.

In the process of chatting about the project, she gradually discovered that a key point of this program is the choice of mentor.

Fang Xing and Zhang Huiying have worked together before and have always had a good relationship.

Therefore, if Zhang Huiying is invited, the success rate is relatively high.

Fang Xing had no such intention and said, "I want to invite Qi Xiuna to give it a try first."

"Qi Xiuna?"

Tong Fei was stunned for a moment.

Qi Xiuna has a Puxiang record label on her body.

Puxiang Records is a record company controlled by Pengcheng Capital.

Theoretically, it should be a hostile relationship.

However, Tong Fei immediately thought that Qi Xiuna's contract with Puxiang Records was about to expire.

Tong Fei asked: "Qi Xiuna has decided to leave Puxiang and join you?"

In the current pop music world, there is no singer who does not want to collaborate with Fang Xing.

Even singers of diva level are no exception.

Fang Xing shook his head and said, "That's not true. I just want to give it a try. What if it succeeds?"

"Okay, but what about the other two mentors?" Tong Fei continued to ask.

"The plan is to invite music masters from different fields. It is best to invite a singer from the Hong Kong area who can represent the golden era of the Hong Kong Philharmonic." Fang Xing replied.

The more Tong Fei listened, the more confident she became about this program.

Because the program configurations mentioned by Fang Xing are all very mature.

If you want to expand the influence of the program, it is best to choose a wider range when inviting mentors.

If we can invite a singer who can represent the golden era of the Hong Kong Philharmonic, it will add a lot of color to the program.

…

"Have you thought about the name of the show?"

After chatting, the two decided to produce this music talent show, and Tong Fei asked the last question.

"We want to highlight the key point of voice, so it's called "The Voice of China"." Fang Xing replied.

"The Voice of China" is known as the ratings champion for nine consecutive years and is indeed one of the most successful music programs on earth.

After the "Voice of China" project was confirmed, Ark Culture and Feifan Entertainment began preparations at the same time.

Feifan Entertainment began recruiting people non-stop and conducted nationwide auditions.

Moreover, various forms of auditions are conducted.

Wechat code scanning and email registration are available in multiple forms.

It's twelve o'clock at noon today.

The official Weibo accounts of Fang Xing's personal studio, Ark Culture, Feifan Entertainment, Songshi Records, and Guangguang Entertainment also released the audition registration method for "The Voice of China".

Also released was a poster for "The Voice of China".

The poster is of four mentors.

However, only Fang Xing is a photo, and the other three mentors are black silhouettes. It is impossible to tell who they are, and even the men and women cannot be distinguished.

In fact.

The other three mentors are not confirmed at all.

In the audition promotion of "The Voice of China", a slogan was also included: Find the most beautiful voice in China, impress me with your singing, and I will turn around for you.

This Weibo post was posted, and it topped the trending list that afternoon.

Countless viewers and fans participated in the discussion:

【Fuck! This guy finally remembered that he is a singer? 】

【wrong! This guy is not here to sing, but to be a mentor. 】

[That’s not important, as long as it has something to do with music, I’ll consider him doing his job properly. 】

[After filming several TV series, you finally remembered that you are a musician? 】

[Fang Xing, you’d better stop doing music. I really want to watch TV series! 】

[Want to watch the drama +1]

[Want to watch the drama +2]

[One person wrote in blood, asking Fang Xing to stop playing music and start a TV series. 】

[Two people wrote in blood! 】

[Three people’s blood book! 】

The Lezi people set off a wave of persuading Fang Xing to do his job properly.

However, there are still some viewers who are seriously discussing the program "The Voice of China".

【Huh! What does it mean to just listen to the sound? 】

[Isn’t it true that this show doesn’t care about your reputation? As long as you sing well, you can be on it? 】

【It makes me want to try it. 】

[Already registered to sing three Chinese songs, just send it to the program team’s email address. However, the songs required to be recorded cannot be edited or modified. It seems to be quite professional. 】
