Later that afternoon.
At Zhang Ye's Studio.
Everyone was sitting together in a meeting.
"They sure have a good plan!" Wu Yi said angrily.
Little Wang exclaimed, "Central TV Department 1 is doing this on purpose!"
Ha Qiqi said angrily, "With our lawyer's letter, we've actually helped them with their publicity and let the public know that The Voice has changed its name. If we had known earlier, we wouldn't have cooperated with them! When they use The Voice's name to promote their show, we'll sue them! "
But Zhang Ye said, "That won't be of any use. Even if we don't say anything, they'll still find other ways to do it. These people are very clever."
Zhang Zuo slapped his thigh. "How infuriating!"
Ha Qiqi said angrily, "These people have already reached the point where they will stop at nothing? Why isn't Central TV Documentary Channel like this? We've also worked with Central TV Sports Channel before. They're all very nice, respectful, and good at doing things. But why does Central TV Department 1 have to behave like this? "
Everyone scolded for a long time.
At this moment, Zhang Ye's cell phone rang.
It was Chen Guang's wife, Fan Wenli.
Zhang Ye said: "Hello, Sister Fan?"
Fan Wenli asked: "Zhang'er, about Sing!?"
"Let Central TV Department 1 kick up a fuss. It doesn't matter," Zhang Ye said.
"Yeah, they just contacted me and Old Chen. They want us to go back and be their coaches." Fan Wenli seemed to be implying something else. "Do you think it's reliable?"
"It should be reliable. Even without me, it won't affect them too much. The stage is already there, so even if there aren't any new breakthroughs, the viewership ratings shouldn't be too bad. You can go with Old Chen then. Hur hur, there's no need to consider me."
Fan Wenli said: "Alright, I'll think about it."
Zhang Ye comforted her: "Sister Fan, don't think too much about it. If the money they're offering is suitable, you should go. You can earn money and get out of the country at the same time. Only a fool wouldn't do it."
Fan Wenli smiled. "I understand."
Zhang Ye understood that Old Fan had called him to let him know. They had probably made an offer that she couldn't refuse, and Old Fan probably had feelings for The Voice. But due to Zhang Ye's relationship with Central TV Department 1, she was a little hesitant. She probably felt that she had let her friend down. But Zhang Ye did not think so. Old Fan was not his employee, but a friend and business partner. Now that there was a chance to become famous and earn money, how could Zhang Ye not let her go? How could that be? He wasn't that careless.
But he never expected that he would receive a call from Chen Guang shortly after.
Elder Chen said, "Zhang 'er, did Wenli call you?"
Zhang Ye smiled and said, "What's the matter?"
Chen Guang said, "Let me tell you, I won't go to that knockoff of The Voice no matter how much they pay me. What bullshit is that? I won't acknowledge The Voice without you. But Wenli might want to go, so I argued with her just now. That woman is really short-sighted! How infuriating! "
Zhang Ye exclaimed, "Oh, come on, why are you still fighting? It's not a big deal. "
Chen Guang said, "I can't control her anymore. Sing! has already called all of our former coaches. I spoke to Grandma Zhang Xia on the phone, but the two of us definitely won't take the job. I didn't ask Sister Zhang about it, but in the entire variety industry, besides you, no one can get her to take the job. There's an 80% chance that she won't take the job either. It's just that Wenli won't change her mind no matter what. I'll talk to her when I get back!"
"Don't."
"I'm sorry."
"Aiya, that's enough."
He hung up.
Everyone in the studio looked over.
Ha Qiqi asked, "Teacher Chen and Teacher Fan are also going to Sing!?"
Little Wang said anxiously, "Then they'll definitely be even more popular. With the old coaches holding the fort, Sing! will definitely be able to get rid of the knockoff label."
Zhang Ye waved it off. "No, Sister Fan should be going. Old Chen won't be going."
Zhang Zuo said, "That's good. What about Sister Zhang? Could it be that Sister Zhang will also … "
Zhang Ye said, "They won't be able to get Zhang Yuanqi to take the job."
Zhang Zuo heaved a sigh of relief. "Fortunately."
Zhang Ye said seriously, "Let's not talk about this anymore. Let's talk about the fourth step of our 'Reach the Summit' plan."
Everyone was given a set of documents and information.
Zhang Zuo said, "The first three steps have been successfully taken. It was really not easy and has laid a very good foundation for the rest of our plans. For the fourth step of our 'Reach the Summit' plan, we need to make a variety show. Our thinking is that in the field of television shows, you have the foundation and popularity. As long as we say that it's your new show, a lot of the audience will buy into it. At the very least, the popularity will have a celebrity effect. Moreover, in the field of television shows, even though we've already gained a lot of popularity, it's definitely not saturated yet.
There's still room for us to expand further. "Ha Qiqi nodded and said," That's right. We've analyzed it and found that in many of the industries that you've worked in before, many of them are already saturated with popularity. For example, in the field of Go, even if you win against a few more of the world's best players, it wouldn't mean anything since you've already gained all the popularity you deserve. For example, in the field of literature, the previous three steps have already maxed out the highest awards, sales records, and popularity in the domestic literature field. There's not much room left for us to go further. But only in the field of television shows, we still have a lot of room to maneuver. There's too much audience in this field and the market is huge. Since everyone is buying into you, why don't we 'raise' the popularity in this field to the highest possible level? And then come up with a show that's even better than The Voice, A Bite of China, and King of Masked Singers? "
Zhang Ye said, "What do you guys suggest?"
Ha Qiqi and Zhang Zuo looked at each other.
One of them said, "Initially, we wanted to suggest that you make a singing show. After all, you're already more familiar with this field. But now, things have changed. Central TV Department 1 has brought out the brand of The Voice. Back then, we were all part of The Voice's production team, so we all know how popular and impressive this show is. So under this premise, it's not easy for us to make a singing show."
Zhang Ye chuckled and asked, "Why?"
Zhang Zuo said, "We can't go head-to-head with them. If it were anyone else's show, then so be it. We can just go head-to-head with them and fight! Who's afraid of who! But The Voice is the most outstanding singing talent show that we've ever made, and it's even in its second season. There are too many diehard fans around. If we go head-to-head with them, it'll only end in a lose-lose situation for both sides. We might not be able to get anything out of it, and in terms of popularity, we might even fall behind. After all, The Voice has been around for a year now! If we go head-to-head with our new show bare-chested, we'll definitely be at a disadvantage. Our goal right now is not to compete with Central TV Department 1, but to reach the top of the entertainment circle. If we go head-to-head with them, then we'll be the ones to suffer! "
Ha Qiqi suggested, "Why don't we make a reality show instead?"
Wu Yi nodded and said, "A reality show sounds pretty good."
"Right, there won't be much competition in reality shows in the near future!" everyone suggested.
Zhang Ye looked at them and said, "Who says that if we want to make a singing show, then we must go head-to-head with Central TV Department 1?"
"Ah?"
"What do you mean by that?"
Everyone was stunned.
Zhang Ye said again, "A reality show suggestion isn't bad either." After thinking for a while, he suddenly looked up and smiled. "I have a singing show with a reality show attached to it. Do you guys want to listen to it?"
Singing?
Reality show?
Could these two be combined together?
Everyone was stunned again. "What show?"
Zhang Ye narrowed his eyes. "I would like to call it — I Am a Singer."
