"Singing China" is the first reality talent show launched by Beijing Satellite TV. There are seven singing areas in Beijing, Shengjing, Shanghai, Hangzhou, Tianfu, Huacheng and Bihai. The total prize money exceeds 30 million!
This kind of handwriting has greatly surpassed Shonan Satellite TV, which is famous for its wealth and wealth.
Although it is said that only 10 million of the 30 million is cash rewards, and the rest are gimmicks for contract training and packaging promotion, the amount allocated is still not small.
The reward for the champion in the singing area reached 100,000, the runner-up was 50,000, the third runner-up was 20,000, and the remaining seven players who advanced to the top 10 also received 10,000 each, and all of them were after-tax bonuses.
After the birth of the top 10 singing districts in the capital, they will go to the six major singing districts across the country for a PK tour at the beginning of next month. The winners of the top 10 will have corresponding bonuses until the top 10 in the country are determined, and then they will return to the capital for the final election.
The prize money for the national championship is as high as 5 million, including 1 million cash rewards and 4 million new star nurturing funds!
It is precisely because the rewards are so generous that "Singing China" has been sought after by countless professional and non-professional singers. The competitions in the seven sub-singing areas are in full swing, and the ratings are rising steadily.
Beijing Satellite TV made a lot of money in advertising.
As the most important Beijing singing area among the seven major singing areas, the ratings of the top 10 final election on the evening of July 31 exceeded 4%, reaching 4.76%, which is very close to the 5% fire standard.
At present, the ratings surveys of domestic TV programs are independently completed by the New Line of Sight Company under the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television, which is a state-owned third-party authoritative organization, so the authenticity is beyond doubt.
In the past, when the benefits of TV advertising doubled and exploded, there used to be as many as a dozen domestic TV program rating survey agencies. Due to the lack of fixed standards, and the emergence of black-box operations and insider transactions, the situation was chaotic and disorderly. .
Some organizations don't even have any qualifications, and they dare to make the ratings list openly.
Later, due to too many opinions from the industry, the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television personally set up a new line of sight, sweeping all ghosts and snakes into the garbage dump of history, so that domestic TV programs have reliable ratings data.
New Sight’s ratings data collection is not limited to TV screens, but also includes live webcasts. Beijing TV’s "Singing China" competition in the capital singing area has never exceeded 4%.
This breakthrough reached 4.76%, an increase of 1%, which is already worthy of celebration.
On the evening of August 1st, Shonan Satellite TV's "The Strongest Singer" broadcasted the first national finals live, with an audience rating of 3.42%.
Such a result is surprising. You must know that in terms of variety shows, Shonan Satellite TV has always been the overlord. It has basically never lost in the duel with other satellite TVs, and it also firmly suppressed Beijing Satellite TV in the early stage.
But things have finally changed.
Although the specific reasons need to be analyzed in detail, many people in the industry believe that the decline in the ratings of "The Strongest Singer" has something to do with the lack of successors of Ling Xiaoxiao, who he highly praised.
In the competition that night, Ling Xiaoxiao's original work "Kaleidoscope" performed mediocre, and on the Internet, the discussion about his work imitating and plagiarizing the former Korean male group KDK has never subsided.
In contrast, as Ling Xiaoxiao's competitor, Lu Chen, who was promoted by "Singing China", became more courageous as he fought.
Lu Chen's original work "Flying Higher" in the top 10 finals of the Beijing Singing District, was listed on Fetion Music's new song list the next day, ranking 9th, and the number of hits and downloads has increased dramatically.
In the Inspur blog, Xiaoxiao's support group no longer has the arrogance, and they all pretended to be dead dogs in the face of the provocation of the Lu family army.
And as the ratings of "Singing China" climbed, Lu Chen finally broke through his original circle, and initially gained his own status and reputation in the pop music world or the big entertainment circle.
Although he is still a young star, as an independent artist, it is already a small miracle to reach this stage, and his starlight will become even brighter in the foreseeable future.
In the two days after the top 10 finals in the capital singing area, many entertainment media and brokerage companies approached.
They obviously found out about Lu Chen's details, and they wanted to come here early to find out.
Lu Chen pushed all these visitors to Lu Xi.
His opinion is very clear, that is, there is no need to negotiate a contract, but cooperation is no problem, as long as the other party is sincere.
And his so-called cooperation is simply selling songs!
Do you have any rookie idols, boy groups and girl groups who need good songs
Then our Lu Chen studio can tailor-made for customers. As for the quality of the works, please refer to "In the Spring", "A Strong Reason", "You at the same table", "Flying Higher" and so on.
As for the price, a song starts at 200,000 yuan, and there is no upper limit!
The asking price of Lu Chen's studio scared away several guys who came here with the intention of picking up a bargain, and also made several other powerful companies feel very entangled.
Lu Chen's talent is unquestionable. The value of "In the Spring" alone is not to mention 200,000, even 1 million is worth paying, but such a classic is really too rare.
There is not much pressure on them to spend 200,000 yuan to buy a song, but if the purchased song is not suitable or cannot create enough benefits, the person in charge will undoubtedly suffer.
To say a thousand words and ten thousand is because Lu Chen's rise is too fast, unlike those old-fashioned big names who are trustworthy in terms of reputation and strength. What if his inspiration runs out and he can no longer write good songs?
The 200,000 yuan was thrown into the water for nothing, and he was still laughed at by his peers!
After all, Lu Chen has already created quite a few works. As a young rookie, his accumulation is still shallow.
In addition, there are some rumors in the circle that songs such as "In the Spring", "A Strong Reason", "I Want to Have a Home", and "Flying Higher" are not likely to be written by Lu Chen himself. There may be a team behind the scenes. operate.
Similar things have never happened before.
99% of the so-called grassroots stars are hyped up.
This kind of rumor is very clear, and it also has some truth. Although it is a mediocrity not to be envied by others, but the seemingly rootless and bottomless Lu Chen is so beautiful, it may be groundless!
Therefore, after talking with Lu Xi, these companies chose to wait and see for the time being.
Lu Chen didn't care about this at all. He said to Lu Xi: "Next time they come to you, then raise the price of a song to 300,000 yuan, and don't even talk about a cent less!"
Lu Xi smiled and said, "Is this not very good?"
Lu Chen was full of confidence: "At that time, they will be begging us, not us begging them."
The greatest wealth that Lu Chen possesses comes from the countless classic masterpieces in Dream World. It is impossible for him to sing all of these outstanding works by himself, and he must sell a lot of them.
But if there are too many good things, they will be worthless. Lu Chen knows this very well, so he would rather rot in his own hands than sell them in large quantities at a low price.
These entertainment and media companies who came to him obviously haven't realized it yet, or they have realized it but dare not bet on his strength. It is very normal to continue to wait and see.
However, at this time and at that time, when the "Singing China" competition is all over, the situation will definitely be very different.
It will no longer be three or two kittens who come to your door.
Lu Chen is full of confidence in this.
He set up a personal studio and followed the path of an independent artist, without thinking about how to compete with his peers in the industry.
Lu Chen's studio is completely for Lu Chen himself. The studio will not sign and poach people. It will not compete for resources but create resources. It will undoubtedly have friendly cooperation with most of its peers.
For example, Nirvana Studios, which is working on an album for him.
At least for now, Lu Chen doesn't have the ambition to build an entertainment media empire. What he wants is to become a superstar like Tan Hong, and even surpass his childhood idol to become a real perfect superstar.
He wants everyone to remember his name and bring all the classics of the dream world to this world.
And realizing such a dream may take a lifetime!
Someone came, left, and returned empty-handed.
There are also people who come, and they will not stop without taking something back.
Lu Chen still welcomes such people.
"Hello, Director Su!"
On August 3, the day before Lu Chen left for Shengjing, Su Qingmei, director of Light Rain Media, came to the studio.
The eldest lady came with two assistants, and Lu Chen received them personally.
After all, Light Rain Media is currently his biggest partner.
Su Qingmei dismissed the small studio, not even interested in visiting, she said straight to the point: "Lu Chen, we want the song Flying Higher, we can sign the contract now!"
The Wandering Band was an instant hit, and "In the Spring" has been on the top of the original music chart for three weeks. As a contracted company, how can Light Rain Media ignore Lu Chen's power
So Su Qingmei came, even though she still found Lu Chen a bit displeased.
Lu Chen smiled lightly and said, "This song is going to be the second title of the North Arrow album, right?"
Su Qingmei was surprised: "How do you know?"
It's hard to guess. Originally, Light Rain Media first signed the North Arrow Band, and then signed the Wandering Band, and because the latter quickly put together a small album of works, they debuted first.
Now that the Wandering band is very popular, Light Rain Media wants to strike while the iron is hot, and on the other hand, it also wants to launch the North Arrow band, so as to enhance its position in the industry.
With the example of Wandering Band, the single title song "Blue Lotus" obviously cannot satisfy Light Rain Media's requirements for Compass Band, and their appetite has already been whetted.
"For copyright matters, you can talk to the manager of our studio!"
Lu Chen was too lazy to answer her question, and pushed his elder sister grandly towards the other party.
"Lu Xi is also my manager."
He believed that with Lu Xi's ability, he was enough to hold this young lady steadily.
Light Rain Media will never be cheap.
It was the first time Su Qingmei and Lu Xi met.
When their hands were held together, their eyes collided, and invisible sparks flickered in the air.
