NOVEL NEXT Chapter 80 New Song Arena
The new music program that Xinan Satellite TV will produce this time - "New Song Arena" is the singing stage conceived by Xia Haoyang. First, the singers or teams who are preparing to release new songs apply to participate. The competition will be held once a week and it will be live broadcast; if It is the first week of releasing new songs. You can participate in the program, but there is no ranking. Starting from the second week, the qualifying results will be counted. In addition to the scores of the live audience, there are also the scores of on-site experts and the music source website that cooperates with Xinan Satellite TV. Download statistics, weighted by the three, calculate the ranking of the singer or team this week.
In principle, it is limited to six months, that is, if you release an album or new song for more than six months, you will not be able to participate in the singing stage, and you will have to make way for other newcomers or new groups. But within half a year, as long as you perform well enough, you can theoretically get one every week, and you can rank first for 23 consecutive periods at most. Some may question why participation in the first week does not count towards qualifying results? Because for the audio source website, starting from the second week, the total download volume of the previous week will be included in the score. If you participate in the first week, you will definitely not have any music source score, so it will be meaningless for you to be included in the ranking.
This kind of competition system is very popular with Xia Haoyang. He has always believed that such a competition should be held in China to encourage more new people and new works to appear in front of the audience. However, before, there was no way to operate such a program by himself. Now he uses entertainment The famous Xinan Satellite TV launched such a program and he supported it from the bottom of his heart, but was this plagiarism of ideas? Xia Haoyang and Xie Shujie both have their own little thoughts.
It was about time after get off work, and Xia Haoyang received a call. It looked like it was an out-of-town number, but Xia Haoyang answered it anyway.
"Hello, who is it?"
"Is it Mr. Xia?"
"I'm Xia Haoyang, who are you?"
"Hello, I am the director of Xinan Satellite TV. My surname is Wen."
"Hello, Director Wen, hello, I have long admired my name." Xia Haoyang was surprised because he had never had any dealings with Director Wen of Xinan Satellite TV before.
“Mr.
Xia Haoyang knew there was more to come, so he didn't say anything.
"Xiao Liu also made it very clear that Mr. Xia mentioned this program to him, and he explained the matter to me without any concealment."
Hearing this, Xia Haoyang's eyes seemed to light up and his eyebrows wrinkled. He said, "Well, I mentioned it to Director Liu."
“Mr. It’s a positive program for the music industry.”
"Yes."
"But Mr. Xia, you can't operate such a program, or you can't participate."
"I understand that as a music studio, I want to recommend our singers to participate in such a program. If I are the organizer, then the credibility will be lost. Without credibility, such a program has no meaning."
"It would be great if Mr. Xia understands this, but there is another point that you probably haven't considered, Mr. Xia. Do you know what our TV station is most worried about?"
"I mentioned to Director Liu that I hope this program will be available year-round, once a week, and continue for a long time. As for the TV station, it is estimated that it can be produced for three to five years, or even seven or eight years, but it must be continued for a long time. I guess there will be a lot of concerns.”
"Haha, then do you know what our TV station is worried about?"
"Well, I'm afraid that the ratings will be low in the future and I won't be able to earn advertising fees."
“Mr. Xinan Satellite TV has no influence at all. We have many profitable programs, but Mr. Xia, there is one thing you don’t understand. What we are afraid of are the singers and artists who come on stage."
"Afraid of artists?" Xia Haoyang didn't react for a while.
"Afraid of scandal! Mr. Xia, the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television does not allow a bad artist to appear in a star program. Once an artist becomes a bad artist, all his works will be offline! Now we are working on new works by new singers. And it’s done year-round. After so many episodes, if we meet a bad artist, Mr. Xia, how do you think this program will work?”
Xia Haoyang was dumbfounded when he heard it. He immediately remembered a piece of news that was very popular in the first half of this year. An artist named Cai was banned by the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television because of his private life. Not only were all his works offline, but the variety show that was being broadcast at the time was also banned. They forcefully dig up pictures and people, otherwise the entire show will be cancelled. He understood that whether a star-rated satellite TV program makes money or not is not the second most important thing. What he fears most is the appearance of bad artists.
Generally, variety shows only have 12 episodes, with a 2-3 month cycle, and limited guests. The station can do a certain screening, and even if bad artists do appear, it will not be heartbreaking to cancel the show. But for such a year-round, long-term program, if the program is canceled because of a bad artist, the gain outweighs the loss. As for Xia Haoyang's idea of a new singer competing in a competition, who can guarantee that there won't be any bad artists in the future? It can even be said that there will definitely be!
"So you understand, Mr. Xia, it is very difficult to put a program like this on the stars. We are all worried about problems. So when Director Liu told me about this program at the beginning, when we had a meeting at the station, everyone basically opposed it. . I was afraid that the program would not last long but would cause a stir. In the past few months, Director Liu applied to the station four times to launch this program, and was rejected in all four meetings."
"I'm very grateful to Director Liu for his persistence, and also to Director Wen for finally agreeing." Xia Haoyang understood how much effort Director Liu had put in behind the scenes for this show.
"I was moved by Xiao Liu's persistence, but I do feel that such a program will be helpful to the Chinese music industry. The most important thing is that I also believe that this program can bring our Xinan Satellite TV to a higher level. Entertainment is The foundation of our Xinan Satellite TV, a good entertainment environment, and the existence of a healthy entertainment circle have a very important impact on our TV station. In fact, we held many meetings and discussed this program many times, and it was only passed in the early hours of this morning, and then it was widely publicized They couldn't wait to release it. In fact, according to our pace, it will be released a few days later."
"So that's it." Xia Haoyang was relieved.
"Yes, this show is due to various reasons. Now you know that as the organizer, it is not suitable for your studio to participate, but we will disclose in the production column of the show that this show is your proposal and Your design.”
"Haha, does Director Wen want to give me program production fees?" Xia Haoyang joked.
"Hahaha, as for the fee, we don't have it for the time being. But I, Xinan Satellite TV, remember you Xia Haoyang as a favor, and I will always have the opportunity to repay you in the future." Director Wen also said thoughtfully.
"Okay, I feel relieved with this sentence. Also, Director Wen, I want to sign up the singers from our studio to participate in your "New Song Challenge" program." Xia Haoyang said with a smile.
"Okay, everyone is welcome to sign up for our program."
