But as Cui Zhong said, China's entertainment industry is completely different now than it was ten or twenty years ago.
In the past, Chinese entertainment was subject to many conditions, such as money, consciousness, ability, experience, environment... and other reasons, so it was rare to find even serious singers.
There are more specialized singers trained by the system.
Tang Yuan was actually one of them, but he was extremely talented and worked hard to become the best one in the end.
Therefore, it is simply unbelievable that Su Mo could be born in that era.
Su Mo has driven the development of the entire singing and entertainment industry, and is also the most important reason for the continuous progress and renewal of China's modern music scene.
He sang tirelessly to influence people's love for music, so that China's music scene was not completely conquered by foreign singers in those years.
Even so, English singers have occupied half of China's music scene thirty years ago, and the same was true for Japanese and Korean singers more than ten years ago.
At that time, the four people of Hua State, Tang Yuan, Su Mo, Zhou Jing, and Xu Ping, carried the banner and supported it hard.
It's better now. With the development of the economy, people's confidence has become much stronger after they have more money.
Although there are still many people who like foreign singers, more and more people like the music of their own country.
The endless stream of musicians and singers is proof of this.
Without the audience's love and buy-in, they would never be famous.
But compared to individual singers, it is still more difficult for singers in a group.
This can be seen from the fact that among the current kings and queens, and the little kings and queens, none of them is a combination.
Many foreign king-level groups are ranked in the top ten or even the top five in foreign music circles.
Chinese groups are basically famous only in the rock category.
It’s not that pop singers don’t have groups, but at best they are famous singer groups, and they have never been promoted to the level of little kings and little queens.
As Cui Zhong said, a girl group with more than ten people has never appeared before.
Such a combination is not just about having more people and being lively, it also involves many, many things.
Not only does it require a lot of manpower and material resources to produce their songs, dances, performances, etc., but it also takes effort to carve out their personal characteristics on each girl.
Otherwise, a singer who is just beautiful but has no special characteristics will basically not be successful.
It's just a bunch of beauties. After the audience's interest has passed, it's time for them to jump on the street.
Now Cui Zhong asked Shen Huan for his opinion, not really thinking that Shen Huan had any clever ideas.
In fact, this is more of a respect and I want to hear some opinions for reference.
This also shows that Cui Zhong attaches great importance to this girl group, and he really wants to create something different.
But!
However, Shen Huan knew how to make such a multi-person girl group!
In 2018, Hua Guoke released an 11-member super girl group.
As soon as they appeared on the scene, they became the number one girl group in China. They killed gods and demons along the way. Within a few years, they became so prosperous that they stunned countless people.
If they hadn't been restricted for various reasons midway, they might still have made some waves.
Shen Huan happened to be in that era and knew exactly how they debuted, how they established themselves, and how they developed.
Although there are many similarities with the idol group of Japan's Taichi Kingdom, they also met the various conditions of that era, and also used the promotion and fermentation of the Internet, which ultimately led to success in one fell swoop.
Although it is only 2015 now, with various training and preparations, by the time they officially debut, it will be almost the second half of the year, and it will be similar to the previous life.
The most important thing is that Father Penguin played an indispensable role in the success of the Rockets in the previous life. The season selection competition broadcast on Penguin Video was a very important promoter.
In this generation, Cui Zhong and his girl group are backed by Shanhai.com, the second largest video website in China. Isn't it even the Shanhai Group, the largest private group in China, behind Shanhai.com
With such strong and relevant capabilities, it really deserves success!
After thinking about it, Shen Huan said, "What are your expectations for this girl group?"
"Expectations?" Cui Zhong was confused for a moment, then said: "Of course it would be great if we could survive! It would be even better if we could persist for three to five years. In this way, we will have enough experience to continue to build these groups, and Boy groups! You know, there are very few places where we can intervene in the music industry now. If it is an idol group, that would be a better direction for a breakthrough."
I see!
Only then did Shen Huan understand their plan.
In fact, there are several singers on Shanhai.com, all of whom are second- and third-rate singers. They are quite popular and have a certain status in the minds of young people.
Shen Huan originally thought that Cui Zhong wanted to invite songs for them, but now it seems that he is much smarter than expected.
These singers have already been stereotyped. Even if you sing a good song to them, it will not bring about earth-shaking changes in them.
Instead of doing this, it would be better to directly introduce new singers and let fans accept the new setting.
For Shanhai.com, an upstart in the entertainment industry, new singers are simply not as good as idol groups.
Because few companies have done such a girl group before, they are the pioneers and have many innate advantages, so they will not be compared to others.
There are not so many constraints.
The key lies in Cui Zhong's mentality.
As the director of the actor business department of Shanhai.com, what he considers is not to become famous in one fell swoop or become a big fat man in one bite, but to be able to work steadily and not collapse.
With this kind of mentality, entertainment is the most suitable thing.
If a person with a bad mentality thinks that he wants to create a little king, or even a king, and invests tens of millions or tens of millions of capital, but in the end his hope fails, he may collapse.
Only those who prepare fully and work hard without asking for results can finally have hope of success.
For example, Ning Wu from Ning Wu Studio was like this, and Guan Yili was promoted like this. The last classic song quickly became famous.
"I can write a song for them, which is guaranteed to become popular." Shen Huan said, "But if you are willing to listen to my opinion, I have a better way, which can have a greater chance of helping them succeed." .”
"OK."
Cui Zhong became energetic.
Since Teacher Lu Xiaofeng said so, there must be a good way.
Such a genius's idea is a very important inspiration.
"Don't you have the platform Shanhai.com? Before launching this girl group, let them do a competition show for a season. The girls who get the top rankings will form a group and debut." Shen Huan said, "The audience While watching the competition, they were already deeply impressed by them and even became fans.
In this way, they have many fans before they debut. Isn't this more clear than you rashly promoting it, but the fans don't know the characteristics of this idol group, and therefore don't know who to like? "
Cui Zhong's eyes lit up.
There are still many reality shows nowadays.
Many copyrighted programs bought from abroad, or programs produced by ourselves, are available on various satellite TV stations every day.
For example, there are definitely a lot of singer auditions.
But as Shen Huan said, all the players were selected not to debut individually, but to debut as a group, and there was no one left.
In this way, in the competition of the program, everyone is competing not only on Jin Ji's independent personal ability, but also on coordination ability and teamwork ability... Isn't there a lot to watch in a variety show like this
In the end, the personal character, temper, ability, team spirit, etc. shown in the program are not the best promotional materials
The most important thing is that Shanhai.com is currently producing diversified programs. Such a girl group launched by its own company is produced and broadcast by its own company's video website. Isn't it also a kind of feedback to Shanhai.com
"Awesome! It's the best of both worlds!"
Cui Zhong couldn't help but admired, "I often hear people say that a good idea is worth a thousand pieces of gold. Now after listening to your words, Teacher Lu, I feel like I have been enlightened, and my whole mind has suddenly become enlightened! Thank you so much." Got it!!”
After a pause, Cui Zhong suddenly said, "But they have already selected the dozen or so people who will debut. After we complete a program like this, should we only go through one cutscene? There are more than thirty remaining alternate members. , just a foil?"
"Who decided these dozen people?" Shen Huan asked.
"Of course it's the previous agency, they have a very good vision." Cui Zhong replied.
"No matter how good their vision is, what's the use? Can fans buy it?" Shen Huan asked.
"Then... this..." Cui Zhong hesitated.
"Include them all, and finally let netizens choose the ones they think are the best, so that we can have the broadest fan base." Shen Huan said, "This is the meaning of idols in the Internet age! Only they The ones you choose are the ones that are most recognized by them! This way, you will be most likely to succeed."
"I see!"
After a moment, Cui Zhong nodded solemnly, "I have ignored the power of the Internet too much. Thank you for your reminder!!"
He was really grateful to Shen Huan for his suggestion.
Even though it’s just two or three sentences, it actually requires operation, and it definitely has great benefits and great gimmicks.
Not to mention anything else, he was willing to pay 1 million just for the idea of such a variety show.
Not to mention the possibility of launching a female idol group.
After a female idol group is established, whether it is singing, participating in variety shows, or appearing in TV series and movies, they can flourish everywhere!
The entire industry chain is perfect!
It is also absolutely suitable for Shanhai.com, which is currently aggressively attacking.
If such a plan were known to the eldest princess, she would definitely be amazed and implement it immediately.
Shen Huan and Shanhai.com actually have little contact. The two parties are just cooperating. It is absolutely commendable that he can give such strategic suggestions.
"I will give you the songs in a few days." Shen Huan said, "Whether you release a single directly or do a variety show, it's up to you to decide."
"good!"
Cui Zhong also suddenly started to want to go back, "Don't worry, I will report to the president immediately after I go back. The songs will definitely not be wasted!"
Almost forgot.
For this song, Shanhai.com gave the full payment of 2 million yuan early.
And these 2 million, Shen Huan has already donated to the children in the mountain village.
Thinking that nothing was recorded this time, Shen Huan felt slightly melancholy.
But then I thought about it, if I don’t get it, the good man can’t force me to donate it. This is also a good thing!
Anyway, the money will never reach my hands, why do I care about this
