All the major television stations were passionate about creating reality shows. They were competing for viewership ratings and earning advertising fees.
For those who participated in reality shows, it was a competition of strength and luck, earning popularity and attention. Of course, there was also the reward for the winner.
There could be more than one winner, but there was usually only one champion. As for the richness of the reward, different television stations had different rules. Some gave the contestants a chance to sign a contract and package a promise, while others gave cash and material rewards.
Television stations like Shonan TV, Beijing Television, Huhai Satellite TV, and so on were rich and generous in their rewards. That was why they were able to attract many outstanding contestants.
China's Voice was different from most similar talent shows. At the beginning of the promotion, they did not come up with the rules and reward method of the program. Instead, they focused on the mentors and relied on Lu Chen and Chen Fei 'er to gain enough popularity.
Now that they only revealed their trump card after the audition, it gave off a very different feeling to the audience.
In these two aspects, The Voice of China had full confidence in their ability to do so.
The rules of the show were novel enough, taking the route of differentiation. The rewards for the contestants were thoughtful and practical!
All the contestants who passed the audition would receive a mysterious gift package provided by the sponsors, which would reimburse their travel and accommodation expenses to Hangzhou, as well as food and beverage expenses, so that those who came from afar wouldn't have to worry about the cost of living.
Once they passed the blind selection by the mentors and became an official contestant, they would be able to collect their appearance fee. The appearance fee was calculated according to the ladder. The more appearances they had, the higher the reward. Even if they did not become the final champion, they would still be able to earn quite a lot.
The top ten contestants would have their accumulated reward doubled, while the top five would have it quadrupled. That was to say, as long as they made it into the top ten, if their original appearance fee was 10,000 RMB, they would have an additional 20,000 RMB, for a total of 30,000 RMB. The top five would receive 50,000 RMB, and that did not include the subsequent appearance bonuses.
The highest reward naturally belonged to the champion. The champion of the first season of China's Voice would receive 500,000 RMB after tax and the right to sign a contract with Chen Fei Media.
The most tempting part was that as long as they signed a contract with Chen Fei Media, Lu Chen would personally create an album for them!
That was a reward exclusive to the champion!
Of course, the champion could also choose not to sign with Chenfei Media. That would be equivalent to giving up the opportunity.
There were many talent shows in the country, especially the singing category. Because the organizers had a cooperative relationship with the entertainment media or management companies, once a contestant obtained a high ranking, they had to sign a contract with the other party. Otherwise, they would be directly eliminated in the next round, or they might not even be qualified to appear again and be replaced by someone else.
This was the unspoken rule of talent shows. Singers were often in a very passive and weak position during the process. They clearly knew that signing the contract was very unfair to them, but in order to continue appearing, they could only choose to compromise.
It was precisely because of this unspoken rule that some artists who came out of talent shows fell out with the companies they signed with after they became famous and popular, causing an uproar.
Signing a contract with a company wasn't completely unreasonable. Naturally, they had to earn back the manpower and resources invested in the show. If they didn't sign a good seedling early on and the contestant became famous, they would sign with another company. Wouldn't it be like drawing water with a sieve? Who would want to do that?
Chenfei Media was willing to do it. Chenfei Media did not force a contract and was only willing to sign a contract with the champion. If the champion was not willing, they could still reject it. There was no rush to sign a contract before the recording, and the contestant was completely free!
The reason why Chenfei Media could break the unspoken rule was that Chenfei Media did not participate in the recording and broadcasting of the show. It was only in name, and the real producer was Star Factory Media.
Star Factory Media also relied on selling program content to television stations to achieve profits, so there was no need for them to sign artists.
On the other hand, it was probably the contestants who requested to sign with Chenfei Media. That was because Chenfei Media was a company jointly founded by Lu Chen and Chen Fei 'er. The price of an album tailored for the signed artist would definitely far exceed the cash reward of hundreds of thousands. It was an opportunity that new singers dreamed of!
There was no need to say much about the outcome. Anyone who was not stupid would know how to choose. Furthermore, China's Voice's generosity in rewarding the contestants was truly admirable.
At least for those singers who passed the audition, after seeing the reward rules of China's Voice, no one would say that they were dissatisfied. At most, they would only regret that the right to sign a contract was only limited to the champion.
China's Voice's official Weibo account posted a series of posts, and the welcoming banquet had also ended.
Tian Tian said to Shi Fang, "Sister Fang, this is the hotel I booked for you. Do you want me to bring you up now?"
Shangri-La Hotel was a world-renowned luxury five-star branded hotel. It had branches in Beijing, Shanghai, Xiangjiang, Baodao, Hangzhou, and other major cities. It was one of the designated hotels for many celebrities.
China's Voice's recording time was not short. The rooms that Shi Fang and the others were staying in had been booked long ago.
Tian Tian thought that Shi Fang must be tired after flying all the way from Xiangjiang and needed to rest early.
However, to her surprise, Shi Fang replied with a smile, "There's no rush. I'm not tired yet. I've been to Hangzhou more than ten years ago. Other than West Lake, I've pretty much forgotten everything else."
Tian Tian's eyes curved. "Then I can be your tour guide and accompany you to have a good time here!"
Liao Jia scratched his head and said, "It's still early. If everyone is free, I have a friend who owns a decent bar here. Let's go over and have a chat?"
Tian Tian was surprised. "Brother Liao Jia, you have a friend who owns a bar? Where is he? "
Liao Jia explained, "On Nanshan Road. He used to play rock and roll. His wife is from Hangzhou."
Lu Chen and Chen Fei 'er looked at each other. Lu Chen asked Shi Fang, "Sister Fang, do you think it's a good idea?"
Shi Fang smiled and said, "Of course it's a good idea. I'm free tonight anyway. Let's go to Mr. Liao's friend's bar and see what's the difference between Hangzhou's and Xiangjiang's bars."
Liao Jia clapped his hands. "Great! I'll call Little Six now and book a place first. "
He immediately took out his cell phone and made a call.
The person on the other end of the line was very excited when he received Liao Jia's call. His voice was so loud that everyone in the room could hear him clearly. When he found out that Liao Jia was going to bring a friend over, he was extremely welcoming and kept saying that he would treat them all.
As for the place, it was definitely available. Even if it wasn't, it had to be available!
Liao Jia ended the call in a few words, then waved his hand and said, "Let's go!"
