Meanwhile.
Beijing Television.
The program team of I Am a Singer had been established.
Zhang Ye stood in the new office with his arms wide open, hugging his old colleagues one by one.
Xiao Lu gave him a bear hug. "Teacher Zhang! I've missed you so much! "
Zhang Ye smiled and said, "It's only been two months, right?"
"But it still feels like three years!" Dafei also gave him a hug!
Hou Ge laughed heartily. "I can work with Teacher Zhang again!"
His twin brother, Hou Di, laughed and said, "I love working with Teacher Zhang. There's nothing else to say. It feels so good and comfortable!"
Zhang Ye greeted everyone one by one. "How was your last show? I heard that it wasn't very ideal? "
Hu Fei stared at him. "Kid, are you trying to rub it in?"
Zhang Ye laughed, "Haha."
Han Qi was also on the team list. During King of Masked Singers, she was Zhang Ye's (The Clown's) liaison, or rather, manager. She was also a hardcore fan of Zhang Ye's. When she saw Zhang Ye, she was extremely excited. "Director Zhang, please don't mention that show anymore. It was indeed a little lacking and we suffered a huge loss. In the end, the viewership ratings did not even reach 0.4%. It was only broadcast for a month before it was taken off the air.
It was not easy to make a reality show these days.
Zhang Ye calmed everyone down and said, "It's fine. Now that I'm here, let's do something big again!"
At this moment, Dong Shanshan also came in from outside. "We're relieved that you're here. But I heard that your new show doesn't need a host? What do you mean by that? "
Zhang Ye smiled and said, "It's set up like this. The singers will be the hosts, but I didn't say that there wouldn't be a host spot. Shanshan, you came at the right time. I was just about to talk to you about this. I'll definitely leave a good spot for you. Can you help lead the team of singers' managers?"
Dong Shanshan glanced at her. "Do you even need to ask?"
Everyone laughed.
Dong Shanshan was now the most popular host at Beijing Television. She was responsible for two of the station's shows, and the viewership ratings for both of them were quite good. With her current status, it was indeed a bit of a waste for her to take on the role of a singer's manager. But as Zhang Ye's old classmate, and with her relationship with Zhang Ye, it was only a matter of a word. Zhang Ye really needed a popular host like Dong Shanshan to help him carry the show. Other than her, no one else could do it.
Soon after, the program team members were almost all present.
Everyone sat together and divided the proposal for the program.
For example, there will be six or seven fixed managers for the singers. This time, it won't be the same as the King of Masked Singers' staff liaisons. I need some real hosts, and I'll have to ask Brother Hu to help me contact them. Let's see which of our Beijing Television Station's hosts are interested. With Shanshan taking the lead, I'm sure she'll be able to secure the best spot. As for the other spots, can you recommend a few of our station's variety hosts who are a little famous, but they don't have to be too famous. Just someone familiar will do. "
Hu Fei smiled and said, "I'll arrange that."
The role of a few hosting managers was very important. Although they looked like supporting roles, their appearances were very high and could bring a lot of popularity to everyone. It was a good job. Just like the show I Am a Singer from Zhang Ye's previous world, there were quite a few hosts who became very popular during the segment of the singer's agent segment. Once I Am a Singer was broadcast, the overall strength and influence of the Beijing Television Station's hosts would definitely be a driving force. It was just that the effects could not be seen for the time being. They might not be clear about it yet, but they would understand after it was broadcasted.
Zhang Ye began to set up again.
"We can start preparing for the recording now."
"Now?"
"Yes, now."
"It's still early. The stage hasn't been set up yet."
"This new show is a little different from the other singing variety shows. A lot of the time, we'll have to record the singers in front of the stage and behind the scenes. We'll even have to record some of the details of their lives. For example, we'll have to follow the singers as they pack their luggage at home and prepare to set off. That's why we have to prepare in advance since there will be elements of a reality show in our show."
"A reality show? Will that work? "
"Director Zhang, won't it be too complicated?"
"Right, won't it distract the audience? Isn't this a singing show? "
"You'll know when it's filmed."
"Alright!"
"Understood!"
"Go ahead and set it up!"
Would it really work?
If Director Zhang said it would work, then it would work!
The advantage of working with a veteran team was the trust and tacit understanding between them. Zhang Ye's arrangements would basically be carried out 200% of the time. Most of the time, there wasn't even a need to ask why.
It was all set up!
The remaining tasks were all up to Zhang Ye!
Snatching people!
Snatching time!
Snatching advertising sponsorships!
The battle with Central TV Department 1 had only just begun!
…
On the same day, the news was still leaked.
Of course, it was impossible to keep it a secret. The media and newspapers were all blown up by this news.
"Zhang Ye is back!"
"Zhang Ye's new show: I Am a Singer?"
"A showdown at the pinnacle of singing variety shows?"
"Sing!: The great enemy is coming!"
"Sing!: Facing a great challenge!"
"I Am a Singer is like a mantis trying to stop a chariot!"
"Central TV Department 1 and Beijing Television's battle for the number one spot in variety shows?"
"Central TV Department 1 and Zhang Ye's battle begins again!"
"Experts predict: Sing!: A resounding victory!"
On Weibo.
The netizens were also screaming excitedly!
"Damn, beautifully done!"
"Zhang Ye is back again!"
"Oh my God!"
"This is too exciting! Don't you think it's going to blow up! "
"Hahahahaha, there's going to be a good show to watch!"
"This is the battle of the century! It's going to be the ultimate showdown! "
"I Am a Singer versus Sing!: Who do you guys think will win? I feel that Sing! is going to win. After all, it's already gained popularity and has an audience base of more than 100 million viewers. Although it has changed its name, the television station is still the same. It's still the same old show, so a lot of people should buy into it, right? Based on this advantage, Zhang Ye's new show doesn't have any foundation at all. It rose up out of nowhere, so no matter how you look at it, it's still a disadvantage! "
"That might not be the case. Sing! is not the second season of The Voice after all. The production team has changed, the director has changed, the host has changed, and the coaches don't seem to be the same four as before either. Whether everyone will buy into it or not is still uncertain. It all depends on whether the audience buys into the brand of The Voice or Zhang Ye as a person. Personally, I'm definitely buying into Zhang Ye. The Voice was created by him, so there's too much of a Zhang Ye stamp on it. That's why I only recognize him as a person and not the show! In my opinion, The Voice with Zhang Ye at the helm is the real The Voice. Everything else is just a knockoff! "
"Why didn't Zhang Ye do a second season of The Voice? He has the copyright to it. "
"His contract with Central TV Department 1 also has restrictions. Although he has the copyright and naming rights to The Voice, if he doesn't collaborate with Central TV Department 1, it should be clearly stated in the contract that he is not allowed to license the show to another television station for the next few years. So Central TV Department 1 can't use the name The Voice anymore. It's the same for Zhang Ye as well."
"I Am a Singer? What will it be about?"
"I don't know!"
"Let's just wait and see. The two sides are already fighting!"
"Let's see who's stronger!"
"Yeah, it's time for a showdown!"
"A storm is brewing!"
"I can already see a storm of swords and knives!"
