Outside the office.
Quite a few people from Central TV Department 1 gathered around to watch.
"This is?"
"Is that Zhang Xia?"
"Whoa, why is Chen Guang here?"
"Fan Wenli also brought her manager here?"
"What are they trying to do!"
"Could it be that The Voice's program team pulled them over to join us?"
"Ah!"
"Don't scare me, my heart is weak!"
"Any one of these three people would be a superstar in the music industry with just a stomp of their feet! Just having one of them here is already a dream come true, so why are there three of them here? "
With so many celebrities here, and three of them being the biggest names among the biggest names in the music industry, this floor was part of Central TV Department 1's office. The other departments and program team staff naturally came over out of curiosity to find out what was going on. Although they could guess what was going on, they were still unsure of what was going on.
Actually, not only them, even The Voice's program team staff, Ha Qiqi, Zhang Zuo, and the others were unsure of what they had seen!
However, what shocked them even more was not just this. They had thought that seeing the three of them gathered here was already shocking enough, but when they saw the next person walking in from outside, be it the people from Central TV Department 1 or The Voice's program team staff, they were all dumbfounded!
It was a woman, but not a celebrity. Yet it just so happened that many people knew of her and had heard of her name. There was no other reason than that this person was the Heavenly Queen's manager!
It was Fang Weihong!
Zhang Yuanqi's manager!
At this moment, the entire office fell silent!
Zhang Xia blinked.
Chen Guang and Fan Wenli were stunned.
Ha Qiqi, Zhang Zuo, and the others were also stunned!
Only Zhang Ye quickly went up to greet her. "Haha, Sister Fang!"
Fang Weihong did not look like she was in a good mood. She shook hands with Zhang Ye and said, "Teacher Zhang, pass the contract to me. I'll be leaving after signing it."
Zhang Ye asked, "Sister Zhang is not here?"
"She's busy with an assignment and gave me the power of attorney. I'll just sign it on her behalf." Fang Weihong and Zhang Ye were old acquaintances. They had worked together twice before, so when she spoke to him, it was as though they were old acquaintances. "Teacher Zhang, Sister Zhang's recent schedule has almost filled up the entire 24 hours. I was just fretting over how to push down the schedule and arrange the time. But now, another contract came. Sister Zhang is really great. She didn't even ask me before agreeing to it. She doesn't have three heads and six arms, and there's only so much time in a day. Isn't it up to me to coordinate them? I'm the one getting a headache. "
Zhang Ye laughed and said, "That's because Sister Zhang is very popular. For a small-time celebrity like me, all I do is go to work and drink tea."
Fang Weihong laughed when she heard that. "Come on, that's because you don't have a management company and you never take on commercial performances. If you really want to take on commercial performances and advertisements, even if you have a hundred hours a day, it won't be enough!" After a pause, she asked curiously, "I just want to know. Sister Zhang has never accepted a job on a talent show before, so how did you convince her?"
Fang Weihong was enlightened. "That's what I was thinking!"
Zhang Xia said, "Little Fang, you're here too?"
Zhang Xia said, "Little Fang, you're here too?"
"Ai, Grandma Zhang, have you been duped by Teacher Zhang too?" Fang Weihong greeted politely and joked.
Zhang Xia said happily, "Yeah, I've been duped by this kid."
After chatting for a while, Fang Weihong shook hands with Chen Guang and his wife and chatted for a while. They all knew each other, and this was not the first time they had met.
Chen Guang was very surprised. "I really didn't expect Sister Zhang to be joining us too?"
Fang Weihong said helplessly, "I didn't expect it either. Zhang Ye called yesterday and told me that he had already discussed the contract with Sister Zhang. I only just received the news."
Fan Wenli gave Zhang Ye a deep look.
Ha Qiqi and the others were also looking at Zhang Ye in admiration!
Oh my god!
Zhang Yuanqi is coming!
Zhang Ye has actually managed to invite the Heavenly Queen!
An S-list celebrity who had never participated in talent shows or even appeared on television as a guest was going to make an exception and join their show? Everyone knew that when it came to Zhang Yuanqi, the top celebrity in the country, it was no longer a matter of money to invite her. She was not lacking in money at all. What she was pursuing was no longer the same, and the level she was pursuing was no longer limited to the country. Her sights were already set on foreign countries, so none of them knew how Zhang Ye had managed to do it! How did he convince the Heavenly Queen!
Central TV blew up!
Jiang Yuan and the others also came in one after another to sign the contract as the first party.
At this moment, the price that Zhang Ye had negotiated with the four celebrities was finally written down by Zhang Ye and exposed to the public. When they saw the joining fee, even the rich and imposing The Voice's program team, who had just received a sky-high title sponsorship fee, were all dumbfounded!
Zhang Xia: 10 million!
Chen Guang: 10 million!
Fan Wenli: 10 million!
Zhang Yuanqi: 40 million!
For the trio of Zhang Xia, Chen Guang, and Fan Wenli, a joining fee of 10 million was still something they could reluctantly accept. This was because their net worth was not low to begin with, and according to the usual market norms of such shows, it would still be a joining fee of several million. As the three of them did not usually participate in any television shows, it was still understandable that they would be offered a premium of two to three million. But Zhang Yuanqi's price made everyone gasp!
40 million!
That was a fucking sky-high joining fee!
For many other talent shows, the total investment for the entire show was only around 30 million or so, and that was still considered quite a lot. Yet Zhang Yuanqi alone was worth 40 million? That was even more than the total investment for a show? In the field of variety shows, there had never been such a sky-high joining fee before! Even for an S-list Heavenly Queen, this price was still beyond the market norms!
It was too scary!
It was too exciting!
This was breaking yet another record!
A lot of the staff looked at Jiang Yuan, waiting to see what the leader had to say.
Jiang Yuan's heart trembled a little, but his eyes were still determined. He quickly signed his name on the first party's column and stamped his official seal on it. Crush!
Was it expensive?
Yes! It was too expensive!
But was it worth it? Jiang Yuan felt that it was worth it. Many of the Central TV staff also felt that it was worth it! If Zhang Ye's name alone could pull in 100 million RMB sponsorship, then who would dare say that a S-list Heavenly Queen like Zhang Yuanqi could not afford a 40 million RMB joining contract!?
To be able to get Zhang Yuanqi to join the show was already unprecedented. It was already something that no other television station's talent show program team could achieve. Now that Zhang Ye had completed this task that no one could have expected, it was already a great merit. As for how much money he spent on it, that was only secondary!
The signing ceremony ended.
Everyone applauded.
Outside, many of the Central TV Department 1 staff who initially looked down on The Voice and thought that it would be disbanded soon were now looking at Zhang Ye and his program team members in a completely different light. A title sponsorship fee of 100 million RMB, an investment of over 100 million RMB, and a prestigious coaching team led by a Heavenly Queen. With this investment and lineup, they dared to pat their chests and say that it was unprecedented in the history of a television talent show. They did not know how the show would turn out in the future, but just this lineup alone was enough to blind countless people!
… …
An hour later.
The promotions for The Voice were in full swing!
On the official website of The Voice, the webpage had a list of the four coaches. Originally, it was empty with a mysterious question mark and a black shadow. But now, the list of coaches was being displayed one by one. Behind each coach, there was a long and detailed introduction, followed by a picture!
"Quick, look!"
"Wow, the name list has been announced!"
"I'm looking forward to it. Who will be the first?"
"I'm coming, I'm coming!"
The Voice was currently at the heart of the storm. Today's entertainment news was all about them. At this moment, even the slightest action on the official website would attract a lot of attention!
The first name was revealed — Zhang Xia!
Everyone was in an uproar!
"It's Grandma Zhang!"
"She's a great singer!"
"Heavens! Even Grandma Zhang has come out of retirement? "
The second name was also revealed — Chen Guang!
Immediately, Chen Guang's fans also flocked to the news!
"My male god!"
"Old Chen is going too?"
"Hahaha! Well done, Old Chen! "
"Chen Guang and Zhang Ye are my two favorite celebrities! I didn't expect that the two of them would work together this time? There's going to be a good show to watch! "
"Teacher Chen is a really good singer! I really like his songs! "
Then, the third name was revealed — Fan Wenli!
"Aiyo!"
"Old Chen, your wife is here too!"
"Heavens! They're all big names! "
"Yeah, the program team of The Voice must have spent a lot of money on this!"
"I'm blind!"
"Even Old Chen and Old Fan have been invited? Is this lineup going to defy the heavens? Is Teacher Zhang trying to scare us to death? There's even a fourth one? Who's the last one? "
"Hurry up and reveal the fourth coach!"
"Why is it taking so long? Who could it be?"
"Who will be the finale?"
As the names appeared one by one, in a short period of time, everyone's appetite had been whetted to the highest point. They were all amazed by Zhang Ye's generosity. It was too shocking!
Finally, under the watchful eyes of everyone, the fourth coach's picture was revealed!
Shua, a picture of Zhang Yuanqi at a concert appeared on the fourth coach's seat!
After seeing Zhang Yuanqi's picture, it was as if the entire The Voice's website's comments section had gone silent for a moment. It was as if time had stopped!
Then, with a whoosh, the comments section blew up!
"What?"
"It's the Heavenly Queen!?"
"Holy shit!"
"Does it have to be so extravagant!"
"Did Central TV throw in all their money to get married? Why are they so generous? "
"Besides, this is not a problem of money! How many variety shows have tried in the past? No matter how much money they offered, they could not get Zhang Yuanqi to join them! "
"This is big news!"
"The Heavenly Queen will be joining The Voice!"
"Is that true?"
"Zhang Ye is still the best!"
"I just want to know how much Sister Zhang's joining fee is!"
"Right, how much is it?"
At this moment, an anonymous user left a comment: "Don't ask how much it is. All I can tell you is that it's an astronomical figure!"
"Don't keep us in suspense!"
"Hurry up and tell us!"
"Just how much is it?"
That anonymous user stayed silent for a long time before saying: "The exact figure is … 40 million RMB before tax!"
At this moment, many of the industry insiders from the other television stations who had come to check on the situation nearly vomited blood when they heard this!
What did you say?
40 million??
It was getting lively on the Internet. The media came out to discuss it, and the people also came out to discuss it. This news was too shocking!
The only ones who remained silent were the experts.
Many of the experts did not say anything. Many of the so-called industry insiders also did not say anything. This was because they really did not know what else to say. They had clearly analyzed the shortcomings and flaws of The Voice of China from start to finish and had clearly told everyone that this program would definitely be a niche talent show or a mainstream program that was no different from the other declining talent shows, so why did all of you big name celebrities still insist on jumping into it? Why did you all still rush into it without a care for your lives? Are you all crazy?
Some people were looking forward to it.
Some people were cheering.
Some people were still doubtful.
Some people were still not optimistic about it.
But no matter what, with the attention that The Voice of China was getting, the lineup of coaches, the joining fee, the program investment, and the title sponsorship fees, the program had already become very popular even before it was broadcast. This topic of discussion was something that no one else could compare to!
Zhang Ye had held back all of the news for the past 12 hours and released it all at once. It was all so that he could bombard the entire Internet with an overwhelming amount of publicity. The first shot of publicity for The Voice had been fired beautifully. Next up, he would have to focus on the auditions for the contestants!
