Chapter 199 Chai Jiang said: He, you can't invite him (33, please recommend a ticket, ask for a monthly ticket)
Compared with the humid and cold Yangcheng, Sanyin City located at a lower latitude is much more comfortable. Even January, the coldest month of the year, which is now, has an average temperature above 21 degrees!
Here, even in winter, thin short-sleeved clothes are enough for walking and playing outdoors!
Therefore, when the director team of "The Voice in Chinese" flew from the snowy magic capital to the sunny Sanyin City, they kept taking off their clothes. As a result, they finally arrived at the island where Chai Jiang's home is located. When I went to bed, I was still sweating in the only long-sleeved shirt, it was so hot!
"The weather in Sanyin is like this, and it's not cold in winter, so it's very friendly to old people like us."

Chai Jiang shook hands with Jin Ke, the chief director of "The Voice in Chinese", and welcomed them in with a smile.

Although there is no intersection in the past few years, Chai Jiang also served as the star mentor of "The Voice in Chinese" in the first two seasons, and he and Jinke are considered good friends.

It's just a pity that the other behind-the-scenes personnel of "The Voice in Chinese" have almost changed all over the year. Except for the chief director or Jinke, the few people around Jinke, Jinke will introduce later, what are the publicity director and program coordinator, anyway They are not the ones Chai Jiang knew before.

Of course, it doesn't matter, Chai Jiang can understand.

After all, "The Voice in Chinese" is also a commercially operated program. Whether it is not suitable for some people to use it again, or some talented producers choose to jump out and lead a program by themselves, it is very common.

Iron camps, flowing soldiers, not to mention the production team, even the star mentors have changed several groups of people.

Jin Ke can sit firmly in the position of chief director for so many years, he is the real awesome X!

"Teacher Chai has a good eye. He bought a luxury house here a few years ago. Now Nanhai Island wants to buy a house here. It is not easy. Let alone a villa built on an island like you, Mr. Chai!"

Jin Ke exchanged greetings with Chai Jiang with emotion.

"There are advantages and disadvantages. The advantage is that the real estate on South China Sea Island is not developed indiscriminately like before. You don't have to worry about the ecological environment being damaged too much. The disadvantage is that the circulation of real estate has deteriorated, and the value of my house like mine can't rise. It fell quite a bit."

Chai Jiang asked them to sit down on the colorful and bright fabric sofa in the living room on the first floor.

However, although the house has depreciated, Chai Jiang doesn't care at all.

Because the value of the house was lower when he bought it, and he experienced a crazy price increase in the middle, even if it depreciates a little now, he still makes money,
Of course, a well-decorated villa like Chai Jiang is full of family atmosphere, so it is obvious that he didn't buy the villa for investment.

As long as he stays under his name all the time, what does it matter to him if the value depreciates or appreciates for a while?

"So Teacher Chai lives in Sanyin now?"

A slightly younger female assistant director interjected to ask.

"No, Sanyin mainly comes here to live in winter. Now that I am older, the climate here is more comfortable. But I usually stay in the capital city..."

Chai Jiang laughed.

After exchanging pleasantries for a while, Jinke finally got down to business.

He wants to invite Chai Jiang back to be a mentor!

Of course, even without mentioning it, as the chief director of "The Voice in Chinese", he came to Sanyin to find Chai Jiang, and his purpose was already obvious.

Chai Jiang is also very clear.

However, he was even more curious, why did "The Voice in Chinese" want to invite him back when he had already appeared twice and served as the star mentor of "The Voice in Chinese" for two seasons?
What kind of conditions do they want to set for themselves?
Seeing that Chai Jiang's expression didn't change much after hearing what he said, Jin Ke secretly sighed in his heart.

He also knew that Chai Jiang would react like this. Even if he came to invite him, he would probably be rejected.

But Jinke had no choice.

"The Voice of Chinese Language" has reached a big bottleneck in recent years, and in the ninth season of "The Voice of Chinese Language", which has not ended for a few months, the ratings of the show have almost fallen to the bottom.

Although no one can shake Jinke's status for the time being, the voice of "The Voice of Chinese" is no longer popular, exciting, and should be stopped. Jinke and his team are also under tremendous pressure for this.

Jinke, who has been tossing and turning for a long time, has a lot of gray hair. If he didn't pay attention to it and dyed it all black, he might have to go out with a hat like Chai Jiang now.

"Ms. Chai, we want to do a [-]th anniversary special in the tenth season of "The Voice of Chinese" this year. We plan to invite back the four mentors from the first season of that year, including you, to be the stars of this season. tutor."

Chai Jiang was noncommittal about Jinke's first speech.

Because this statement is not attractive, Jinke and the others just want to play the memory card.

But the memory card is not easy to play. Among the mentors are two mentors who have appeared countless times over the years, and the audience is tired of watching it.

"At the same time, among the students who participated in the first season, we will invite students who have not officially debuted, but still insist on singing and sing well, so that they can bravely step onto the stage again and join the blind selection team."

This makes a little more sense.

In the first season of "The Voice in Chinese", there were still many students with excellent voices and distinctive characteristics, and the first season of "The Voice in Chinese" was the pinnacle. I believe many people who like this show will miss that time. The real "Chinese Voice"!
However, is it fair to them to call them back after ten years and endure the pain of being blindly selected and eliminated again?

Jin Ke considered this plan from the standpoint of the program, and he certainly wouldn't care about the feelings of the eliminated students.

But Chai Jiang thought a little more.

He felt that the practice of frying cold rice had advantages and disadvantages.

The advantage is that for students who are really capable, or after ten years of experience and precipitation, capable students may perform better and get better opportunities than before.

But there are too few players like this, why would you wait until ten years later for someone with strength to discover them?
Most of them are those old students who are weak but still have a passion for music.

Enthusiasm can't replace talent. They couldn't come out ten years ago, and don't expect them to be amazing ten years later.

The disadvantage is that for these old students, if they don't sing well, they will bear more pressure from public opinion, and cynicism is inevitable!

What's even more frightening is that the program group will also take the opportunity to hype for the ratings and magnify the contradiction.

Ten years of dreams, in exchange for a bigger blow...

"Jinke, the biggest problem with "The Voice in Chinese" is not how to make bigger topics, but the quality of the players and the innovation of the competition system."

Chai Jiang is also an old singer at the level of the music industry, what scene has he seen?
He certainly won't be excited because of Jinke's slogan of "recreating the classics and starting over".

What's more, Jinke didn't offer him very attractive conditions like in the first season.

Therefore, Chai Jiang only made suggestions, and did not express any intentional attitude.

You can talk, but you need to show enough sincerity.

The bitterness in Jinke's heart grew stronger.

He hasn't discussed the issue of money yet, but he really can't come up with any good terms.

The ratings have declined for two consecutive years. Yes, the signboard of "The Voice of Chinese" is not as loud as it used to be, and even the biggest naming right is no longer as sought-after as it was in previous years.

The income from the naming fee and advertising fee, which has shrunk considerably, is also given away to relevant stakeholders. It simply cannot support him to give Chai Jiang even the same standard as the first season's mentor appearance fee.

This situation has already begun to emerge in the past two years!

What kind of celebrity mentors have been hired for "The Voice in Chinese" in the past two years?
Not to mention their fame and traffic, but in terms of musical literacy, they are far behind those star mentors who were really queens and kings of the music scene.

Maybe it's okay to give them time to settle down, but since they have only lived for more than ten years, they are still a little short of eager to become mentors now.

How much progress and change can they bring to the students besides being able to talk about cross talk on the instructor's chair and show off?How wonderful can the stage of cooperation be?
If you can't do these things, what's the meaning of the word "mentor"?

The audience patronized to watch and praise the instructor, and the light of the students was completely obscured. This kind of "Chinese Voice" is already the opposite of their original intention in the first season.

Chai Jiang could see that "The Voice in Chinese" had such shortcomings in the past two years, but he didn't want to offend his colleagues, so he didn't say it.

Of course, it is impossible for Jinke not to know about such problems, and he also wants to let the audience regain the feeling of watching "The Voice in Chinese" before by finding the way of his former mentor.

It’s just that it’s hard to find the same high-quality group of students with amazing voices in the past.

It can only be fried rice, Jinke pinned his hopes on this season of the show.

Reverse thinking, as long as he can invite qualified mentors like Chai Jiang back, he can get more financial support by playing the emotional card—whether it is sponsorship or company funds.

As long as he restores the ratings of this season's show, and when it becomes more popular, there will be more good students, and he will have the confidence to make bigger changes.

Of course, Jinke still wants to confide in Chai Jiang.

Crying children have candy to eat, and only directors who can embarrass themselves and sell miserably can be promising.

Jinke told Chai Jiang that the music market is not doing well now, that there are not many musicians in the market, and that it is difficult to do music synthesis. He said that without a mentor like Chai Jiang who has a passion for music, music would fall into an abyss that will never be restored...

It has to be said that Jin Ke's complaints still resonated with Chai Jiang.

There are not many purely music variety shows in recent years. The shows with high ratings are no longer singing shows like "The Voice of Chinese", but are all those game-like reality shows.

Even the previously popular music comprehensive shows that featured old singers who were reckless, their ratings have dropped sharply.

"But you said that there are no good musicians. I disagree. Your director team still didn't dig deep into some folk musicians. If you can turn your attention to independent musicians, there are still many new generations. Very good singer!"

Chai Jiang shook his head.

"Does Teacher Chai have any good recommendations?"

Jin Ke showed joy. He heard from Chai Jiang that there are many leftover pearls that have not been excavated by them?
"Yes, but I'm not sure if you can invite him out. If you can, he is definitely an annual champion!"

Chai Jiang paused, and then added:
"In the past ten years, all the champions combined can't match his championship talent! Very talented new generation singer-songwriter!"

Chai Jiang exaggerated a bit, but he was not completely wrong.

In terms of singing skills and voice talent, this person may not be called the best.

But in terms of creative ability, Chai Jiang feels that he is a well-deserved champion.

And combined with the comprehensive ability of creative ability, he must be the well-deserved number one!

At least it is the number one in Chai Jiang's mind!

The point is, Chai Jiang feels that with this person's level, he is completely able to raise the overall level of the students of "The Voice in Chinese" to a higher level, and even break the curse that the previous champions of "The Voice in Chinese" cannot be popular...

"But he's not very interested in variety shows. I don't think you can invite him to be your student!"

Chai Jiang once again repeated his point of view.

"Teacher Chai, don't be fooled, who is he?"

Jin Ke was already itchy.
