Jiangnan TV Station acted quickly. After Guo Zhengyan received the good news, their station head, production department, and variety department heads arrived a few days later to discuss the details of the collaboration with Yang Yi and his ChinaStar Production Company.
It could be said that they had shown great sincerity!
Yang Yi did not hesitate. According to the previous agreement, he prepared a variety show and a TV series to collaborate with Jiangnan TV Station. However, regarding the variety show, he had not decided which show to put on Jiangnan TV Station.
Originally, Yang Yi wanted to produce a third variety show. Needless to say, it was the music variety show that he had prepared for Murphy's comeback, I Am a Singer!
It was worth mentioning that Yang Yi had also considered whether to produce King of Masked Singers or I Am a Singer. However, after considering the purpose of producing the show — to promote Murphy's reputation — he finally chose the latter.
After all, if she sang with her face covered, even if Murphy could continue to win and stand on the stage a few more times, she might still be able to take off her mask in the end. However, if she sang with her face covered, what kind of promotional effect would it have?
However, Yang Yi considered Guo Zhengyan's intention of using the TV Station as a window to promote the upgrading of Jiangcheng's tourist attractions. Before taking out the proposal for I Am a Singer, he hesitated for a moment.
In the end, the proposals for the two shows were placed in front of Jiangnan TV Station's station head.
He could only choose one. Yang Yi would not produce two shows at the same time. His ChinaStar Production Company had not reached the scale to support three shows. Moreover, Jiangnan TV Station did not have enough resources. Instead of splitting the resources, it was better to concentrate on one show!
"A parent-child variety show?" Jiangnan TV Station's station head, Wu Xiangdong, looked at the proposal's introduction in surprise. "This is also an outdoor reality show?"
"That's right. It's very different from The Limit Challenge. It's a celebrity reality show with a dual theme of parent-child and travel. It shows a few celebrity father-son pairs learning to interact with their children alone without their mother's company. The main focus is on the true relationship between father and son, "Yang Yi explained.
However, Wu Xiangdong didn't seem to have much interest in this program.
After all, there was no precedent in the country for parent-child variety shows to be very popular after being broadcasted. Moreover, Yang Yi's two more popular variety shows did not have a parent-child model. Could a group of children crying and making a scene in front of the TV really attract people?
Of course, when he faced Yang Yi, he didn't show any signs of doubt. Even though Wu Xiangdong had already rejected the show, out of respect for Yang Yi, he and the head of the variety department still seriously asked Yang Yi a few key questions.
"Will Mr. Yang bring your daughter to this program?"
Yang Yi shook his head and smiled. "We'll pass. With my ability to take care of children, there's no point in participating in this program. Compared to the other celebrity fathers, it's a bit like the whole program is suppressing them and highlighting my excellence. It's not a good thing for the program!"
Of course, this was only one of the reasons. Yang Yi didn't say the main reason why he didn't want to participate was that he didn't want Xi Xi to fall into the teeth of public opinion again!
Yang Yi had seen it before. After "Daddy, Let's Go" was broadcasted in his previous life, the children who were originally second-generation celebrities directly transformed into small celebrities and were pursued by the media.
However, within a few months, some children fell into a vicious whirlpool of public opinion.
Not to mention some celebrity fathers who desperately let their children take on some advertising endorsements in order to earn money, there were also some children who were cheated by the media. For example, Angela in the first season and Feynman in the second season were actually very simple and ignorant children, but the media kept hyping up their negative news.
One moment, it was said that Angela was dressed in famous brands at a young age and had princess syndrome. The next moment, it was said that Feynman was spoiled by his father and grew into a little fatty! What's more, it wasn't known if the media had a grudge against Feynman's father, but the photos they used didn't highlight Feynman's cuteness and cheerfulness. Instead, they used a photo of Feynman looking like a fool …
Regardless of whether a child was really naughty and willful, even if they were, it was a child's nature and they would slowly improve in the process of growing up. However, under the spotlight of the media, every mistake of a child would be magnified and criticized as a heinous flaw.
This was the gossip media. For their own benefit, they would desperately dig up negative news about celebrities for publicity. However, when the spearhead was pointed at the child, Yang Yi was worried that it would cause serious harm to Xi Xi!
Therefore, he had always been protecting Xi Xi closely, just like how Lin XX protected Kimi in his previous life. The media had very little information about Xi Xi, and Xi Xi basically didn't participate in variety shows. Even if she became very popular because of some small matters, Yang Yi didn't need her to shoot commercials.
Xi Xi's growth didn't appear in the spotlight!
It was a little too far-fetched. It wasn't that Yang Yi didn't like the show "Daddy, Let's Go". It was just that he didn't want to delay Xi Xi's studies, so Yang Yi wouldn't bring Xi Xi along.
However, since Yang Yi wasn't participating, Wu Xiangdong's expectations for this show were even lower.
"For this show, will the tourist attractions be located in Jiangcheng or the entire Jiangnan area?" This was the second question.
"The first episode can be set in Jiangcheng, but the next few stations will be located nationwide. There's even a possibility that one episode will be set overseas." Yang Yi said, "It's also a big feature of this show to let the stars understand different cultures and customs together."
He couldn't choose to set all the shows in Jiangnan. That would only benefit others. Wu Xiangdong, who was always thinking about his political career, finally put down the proposal for this show and picked up the proposal for "I Am a Singer."
"This show is good!" The person in charge of the production department took some time to flip through the proposal. He said excitedly, "With the music variety show 'China's Voice' hyping up the music variety show market, if we launch this show at a different time, we'll definitely be able to capture a lot of viewers from 'China's Voice'!"
The reason he gave was that this show focused on the singing skills of talented singers who had already debuted. To a certain extent, it was similar to "China's Voice's" pursuit of the quality of singing!
Moreover, the people invited were all celebrities. It would be more of a hot topic than "China's Voice"!
"I also think that this show will be popular. Looking at the competition format of this show, other than the first contestant who can sing their own representative works, the other contestants must cover other people's works. Moreover, other than the qualifying and elimination rounds, there's also a challenge round. Various modes of competition will greatly increase the viewing value of this show!" The person in charge of the variety show had a unique insight.
Yang Yi listened to their opinions and could basically understand which show they would choose!
Regarding this, Yang Yi did not feel any regret. After all, "I Am a Singer" and "Daddy, Let's Go" were two different types of variety shows. They were both popular, but as for which show was more popular, that was a matter of opinion. Regardless of which show Jiangnan TV Station chose, they would not be at a disadvantage!
Of course, Wu Xiangdong still held Yang Yi in high regard. After he made the decision, he enthusiastically asked Yang Yi if he could keep the proposal for "Daddy, Let's Go" so that they could consider whether to continue working together on the second show after they finished producing "I Am a Singer."
It was considered a polite request. Yang Yi neither agreed nor objected.
Since "I Am a Singer" had been decided, the show's schedule began to be pushed forward. Coincidentally, the first episode of "China's Voice" had entered the final stage. The production team could gradually withdraw from this show and invest in the preparation work for "I Am a Singer."
Besides, Jiangnan TV Station had indeed given their maximum support. As Wu Xiangdong needed to discuss with Yang Yi in detail about the TV series "The People's XX" that Guo Zhengyan was very concerned about, he needed to send the others away. Therefore, a few of the people in charge under him went to another meeting room to discuss the broadcast time of the show with Yun Yangfeng and the others, as well as the connections and resources that they needed from Jiangnan TV Station.
After the others left, Wu Xiangdong briefly explained the current situation to Yang Yi. "For this TV series, due to the theme, we need to inform the higher-ups in advance. Not only Jiangnan Province, but also the capital. Therefore, we need Mr. Yang to provide the script as soon as possible. However, you don't have to worry. Mayor Guo has already made arrangements. As long as the content is not too biased, the capital will support it! "
Indeed, it was easier to do things with someone in the court. With Guo Zhengyan's support, everything became simple!
