China Entertainment’s rescue plan is hard to come by

Chapter 717 I Like Her Energy
Throughout the month of May, the most talked-about event in the Chinese entertainment industry was "The Voice of China" hosted by Star Image.

Even the box office of "China Partners", which has been soaring and has grossed over 5 million yuan, is not as popular as "The Voice of China".

Come to think of it, these four mentors alone are the youthful memories of countless Chinese people.

Liu Dehua, needless to say, has fans from all three generations, and can be said to be an evergreen in the music industry. Now as long as he says he is going to hold a concert, there is no doubt that all the tickets will be sold out within an hour.

Wang Fei, the queen of the Chinese pop music scene, seems to have never participated in any variety shows, let alone been a mentor.

When people heard that she would appear on the show "The Voice of China", not only ordinary fans but even some second-tier singers wanted to participate.

Yu Chengqing can be said to be the godfather of Taiwanese music. His existence can attract a large number of talented people who have good looks and personalities but have outstanding singing skills but can only work behind the scenes.

Liu Yifei, with her huge young fan base, has countless music fans who want to become the Fairy Sister's students.

Moreover, her fan base is of just the right age, mostly people in their twenties who are still determined to pursue their dreams, because she has the most contestants signing up.

The online registration website that Starry Sky Image temporarily built crashed several times, and people had to be temporarily pulled in from Starry Sky Video for technical support. The server was also expanded several times.

Star Sky’s “The Voice of China” has not yet been officially aired, but it already has the flavor of a Chinese music festival.

Liu Yifei's thoughts took a 180-degree turn.

Before, she was thinking that since it was her own company's program, she had to support it no matter what and just go on it for fun.

But seeing that the popularity of "The Voice of China" is growing day by day, even before the show started, some people started voting online to guess who would be the champion mentor of this year.

They set up a proper website and called on netizens to vote.

Many people may think that since Liu Yifei has a huge fan base, her vote rate should definitely be first.

But in fact, it is not the case.

Because of Sun Yi, Liu Yifei has created many classic roles, so her fans are not just the so-called fans who love her for her looks, but more of them like her as a person.

These fans tend to be more rational. They pay attention to artists more because of the appeal of their works. They are definitely not the brainless fans of the young idols of later generations who say "my brother works very hard too."

When it comes to music, they still cast their votes for King Liu and Queen Wang.

Liu Yifei didn't say anything on the surface, but she was feeling very upset inside.

This is a performance on the same stage.

No matter what, I can't perform too badly, right?

So, after the May Day holiday, she returned to the Huairou Film and Television Base again.

This time she was not filming, but rehearsing. She rehearsed the songs she needed to sing live on the show with her music teacher every day, and even made adaptations to some of the songs.

There is no other way. Since we cannot compare with them in terms of hard power, we should just take advantage of our status as the host country and be the early bird.

In the words of the little girl.

“I may not be talented enough, but I can work hard. I can spend more time and effort than others to show the best of myself.”

Sun Yi really likes Liu Yifei's enthusiasm.

Especially charming.

So, he also lived in the program crew and offered advice from time to time, just like accompanying the little girl in her studies.

"There are five major regions: Northwest, Southwest, Northeast, Central China, and South China. I just gave you a concept of the regions. Who told you to divide the regions so clearly? It took you two days to study the regional divisions! Can you use your brains a little bit? Do you understand the principle of proximity? Don't be so rigid."

"The registration website crashed again? What's the point of looking for me if it crashes? I have technical skills and can serve as your server. Go find the people in the technical department of Star Video. If they can't help, contact Renren to send someone to support you."

"Title sponsor? You want exclusive naming rights? That's wishful thinking. Tell them that after the first episode of the show is aired, the exclusive naming rights will be put up for auction. Right now, there are only live naming ads during the audition stage. Take it or leave it if you want."

Sun Yi spent the entire morning leisurely drinking tea. Liu Yifei went to rehearse, so he could only stay with Yang Fan.

As we watched, the phone in the office never stopped ringing.

He did say that he could help deal with some things, but no one could be so heartless as to call the big boss. All the problems were directed to Yang Fan, which gave Sun Yi a lot of free time.

"I didn't expect that being a variety show producer is more difficult than being a producer. There are so many things to deal with and so many problems."

Yang Fan took a sip of tea depressedly and complained to Sun Yi helplessly.

What can he do? The hands-off boss in front of him is a big boss among big bosses. How can he let a Cannes Palme d'Or director and Hollywood's best screenwriter handle a variety show?

So, Sun Yi just wrote down the program procedures he knew, and then there was basically nothing to do.

"My General Manager Yang, after all, this is the first time in our Starry Sky since its creation. I can't rest assured if you don't take personal responsibility."

"Isn't Xiao Wu's personnel file being transferred? He has no problem as a program director, but he still lacks overall production experience. You should guide him more this time. When he comes out, the variety show department will have someone in place, so you will have some free time."

“As a leader, you must learn to make the best use of people’s talents.”

Sun Yi touched his upper lip to his lower lip and spoke so easily.

Yang Fan wanted to spit on him.

"Why don't you come and take care of it!"

Fortunately, it's just a thought in my mind.

He knew the style of the uncle in front of him very well. He never interfered in anything except film production and the company's overall strategic direction, giving several managers room to fully display their talents.

I feel a great sense of accomplishment. Although it is painful, I am also happy.

The office phone rang again.

"Hello, I'm Yang Fan. OK, I got it."

After hanging up the phone, Yang Fan took a deep breath and pressed his forehead with his right hand.

"What's wrong again, Mr. Yang?"

"Ask me if the host is here and if I can familiarize myself with the venue today. If there is no problem, then we will finalize it completely."

"I am also a general manager, why are you asking me about this?"

Sun Yi felt amused when he saw Yang Fan's hopeless look.

However, there is really no other way. The variety show department of Star Sky has just been set up. Some people were transferred from other departments, some just joined the company, and some were recruited from outside. The personnel composition is very mixed.

Moreover, those who are responsible for the sound and band on site are from the music department, those who are responsible for the overall scene and recording and filming are from the production department, those who coordinate logistics are from the logistics department of the digital production center base, and some of the staff are sent by Jiangsu and Zhejiang Satellite TV.

The several groups of people belong to different groups, and the person in charge of the variety show department who is in charge of the project has not yet taken office. If there is anything, they can only find Yang Fan, the general manager in charge.

It's really a bit of a waste of talent.

Time is also quite tight. It is already mid-May, and we must start the auditions before the end of the month. We will try to finish them before the summer vacation, and then use the two months of summer vacation to complete the recording and broadcasting of the finals to achieve the best program effect.

"The host is Liu Yan, right?"

"Yes, there are two sessions in total, one inside and one outside, with two hosts. Liu Yan will be in charge of the outside session, and the inside session will be hosted by someone sent by Jiangsu and Zhejiang Satellite TV."

"Yes, indeed. For such large-scale variety shows, the host is still very important. Jiangsu and Zhejiang Satellite TV has sufficient experience and many talented hosts. It is a wise move to let them host the show."

"Okay, I'll take care of this. I'll call Liu Yan."

Sun Yi couldn't stand it anymore, so he took the initiative to stop the task, which could be regarded as sharing some of the burden with Yang Fan.

"Liu Yan, are you coming to Huairou Base today?"

"Oh, we're already at the door. Okay, wait a minute. I'll send a car to pick you up. It's quite far, so you don't have to walk. Wait a minute."

Sun Yi put away his phone, stood up quickly, thought for a moment, and patted Comrade Lao Yang on the shoulder with sympathy. Then he gave him a "daddy" look and walked out of his office.

Sun Yi was driving an electric vehicle from the production center, the kind used in tourist parks.

As the Starry Sky Digital Production Center's business grew, the number of permanent staff here also increased. The entire base was very large, and daily travel became a problem.

After the production center was established, the first thing it did was to solve this problem. The vehicle it purchased was the sightseeing electric vehicle that Sun Yi was driving right now.

At the gate of the production center, Sun Yi saw Liu Yan from afar.

Wearing sunglasses and a sun hat, he stood there upright.

This is Liu Yan’s first time coming to the Digital Production Center after joining Starry Sky, so he is not very familiar with it.

"Here, here." Sun Yi waved to Liu Yan.

Liu Yan took off her sunglasses and at first she couldn’t believe that Sun Yi, the company’s boss, actually drove an electric car to pick her up.

After confirming again and again that the person in the car was indeed Sun Yi, he quickly took off his sunglasses and trotted towards him a few steps.

Sun Yi was sitting in the sightseeing bus, and his view was indeed quite broad.

Hey, don't run.
Don't want to watch.

"Mr. Sun."

"Ha~ here we go~ get in the car."

Liu Yan hesitated for a moment, then took the initiative to sit in the co-pilot seat and asked somewhat embarrassedly:

"Why are you here to pick me up in person?"

Although the call just now was made by Sun Yi, Liu Yan never expected that Sun Yi would come out to pick her up in person. She felt flattered at the moment.

Hearing her words, Sun Yi deliberately made a joke:

"Why, do you think I'm not qualified?"

"No, no, that's not what I meant."

"Haha, okay, I won't tease you anymore. I'm the most free person on the scene, so I have to take over from our host."

"No way, no way, I am not a big host."

Liu Yan smiled shyly. Although she had a good relationship with Liu Yifei and had dinner with Sun Yi before, she still had a sense of awe towards Sun Yi in her heart.

However, in Sun Yi's opinion, it was Liu Yan who had changed a lot in the past few months.

How to describe it? My temperament is different.

Maybe because of the popularity of "Diaosi Nanzi", she has gained millions of fans across the entire network. Although her main job on Star Sky is still a host, she already has the feeling of a female artist.

Moreover, her dressing style also began to show her sexy side.

For example, just now.
Starry Sky’s digital production center is very large, but if you drive, it’s very fast. In less than 3 minutes, Sun Yi and Liu Yan arrived at the door of the studio.

He did not go directly into the recording site, but instead took her to the contestant channel.

Sun Yi is still very principled.

Since you have accepted this task, you must be responsible to the end.

"I think you have been informed of the specific program segments."

Liu Yan followed Sun Yi's footsteps while observing the player passage which had just been renovated and had some decorations on the walls covered with plastic film.

"Everyone has been notified. My task is to be the off-stage host and be responsible for the content before the contestants go on stage."

"Yes, this is the contestant channel, but there will be a filming team following you and interviewing each contestant."

"Just past here is the contestants' waiting area."

Liu Yan followed Sun Yi out of the corridor and came to a place similar to a lounge, with a series of independent sofa booths.

The place is not small, so it is not a problem to accommodate two or three people and more than ten groups of players at the same time.

The staff are now placing various small decorations and potted plants, as well as the advertising logo of "The Voice of China".

"There is a separate lounge inside, as well as a free tea area. Whether you are a mentor or a contestant, you can have a drink or take a break before the game."

“Is this the reserved camera position?”

She looked at the areas that seemed to be reserved for cameras and asked in surprise.

Sun Yi nodded: "Yes."

"Taking photos of the backstage situation for someone?"

"Well, this part of the material will be edited into the main film and the behind-the-scenes footage separately later."

Liu Yan was really surprised.

She has been a host for quite some time and has been exposed to many variety shows, but she has never seen one that even filmed the backstage.

Can the audience like watching these things that have nothing to do with the show?
Sun Yi seemed to see Liu Yan's confusion and explained:

"This is actually a major selling point of the show. These off-court shots are actually very interesting. The audience will be very much looking forward to their favorite contestants' performances off-court."

"For example, if you are a contestant and I am the host, when it is your turn to go on stage, I will start taking some pictures of you getting ready from here."

"The audience will be very curious about whether the contestants are nervous, excited, or in some other mood."

Liu Yan thought about it for a moment, then nodded.

It seems that what Mr. Sun said makes sense.

If I were a viewer, I would have some thoughts on this and would really like to gossip about it.

"That's the interview area before the final stage. It's the last interview you'll be responsible for before going on stage, such as the contestants' self-introductions, or some simple questions you need to ask as the stage controller, including interviews with the contestants' relatives."

"Any other relatives?" Liu Yan's eyes widened.

Sun Yi smiled and nodded; "Of course, it's normal for relatives to come and cheer for this kind of competition. When the time comes, the relatives will see whether there is a mentor to choose. If the contestant is successfully discovered by the mentor, the relatives can be the first to share the joy of victory with the contestant. How great."

“It’s so full of details and so thoughtful, it’s amazing.”

After listening to Sun Yi's introduction along the way, Liu Yan looked at Sun Yi with a slightly different look in his eyes.

If I was in awe when I first entered the door, now I feel worship.

And there was also a hint of admiration between the opposite sex.

Really, when a man shows unparalleled talent, most women can't resist.

What's more, this man is handsome and rich.

The same was true for Liu Yan, but she was very self-aware and only stopped at admiration without any further plans. Even in her heart, she did not dare to go beyond the line.

Going further down, you will officially go on stage.

It just so happened that Liu Yifei was rehearsing on the stage with her dancers.

There were no lights, no special effects, and Liu Yifei was only wearing an ordinary training suit with her jacket simply tucked around her waist.

From the perspective of Sun Yi and Liu Yan, a large area of ​​Liu Yifei's back was already wet, but she still showed no intention of stopping to rest.

"3~2~1~Go"

Watching Liu Yifei dancing and singing hard on the stage, Liu Yan subconsciously glanced at Sun Yi's face.

She suddenly discovered that Sun Yi's eyes were completely different when he looked at Liu Yifei.

There is a feeling that among the three thousand worlds, there are three loves: the sun, the moon and Fei.
