Chapter 186: Kuiguang Ecology
Yang Ruoqian was slightly stunned after hearing what Cui Qing said.
He had also heard of the variety show "The Voice of China". The first stage was the tutors' division into classes, which was also the "blind selection" stage.
The promotion mechanism is probably that the contestants sing below, and during the singing, the four mentors with their backs to the stage will choose whether to turn around or not based on their own judgment.
If they turn around, the singer can join this mentor's team and successfully advance.
If multiple mentors turn around, the contestants can freely choose which mentor to follow.
Now Cui Qing said that 500,000 yuan can make a mentor turn around, does that mean that 500,000 yuan can guarantee advancement in the first round? Of course, the effect of this 500,000 yuan is limited to the first round.
After the blind audition stage, there will be a team battle. Each team will be divided into 7 groups of two and sing the same song. The winner will stay and the loser will leave.
After that, there are various elimination mechanisms and various money-sucking links waiting to open the contestants' eyes.
Cui Qing watched Yang Ruoqian fall into silence, smiled and comforted him: "Boss Yang, don't worry, let me tell you, at least the first stage of the turnaround is not a problem, you don't have to pay for it."
In Cui Qing's opinion, although Yang Ruoqian is very successful, he is still very young after all, and has always been on the right and honest path. He may not have a deep understanding of the dark norms in the entertainment industry that require behind-the-scenes operations.
Extending an olive branch to him now is like providing timely assistance.
Yang Ruoqian was silent for a long time before he slowly asked, "Producer Cui, I have a question, can I ask it?"
Here we come!
Cui Qing was somewhat excited. It seemed that a capable boss would finally become a real capital tycoon who could plan and strategize under his guidance and never show his emotions. Perhaps, he was now witnessing the rise of an entertainment giant.
"Mr. Yang, you are too polite. Just ask me anything."
Yang Ruoqian nodded and asked curiously, "Doesn't Sing My Motherland have four mentors?"
"Yes, Mr. Yang knows it very well."
"How about this, I spend 4.5 million and get all the mentors to turn around together?" Yang Ruoqian asked excitedly.
If each mentor could only turn around once, Yang Ruoqian would have asked them to demonstrate on TV what a spinning top is.
Think about it, in order to advance, only one mentor is needed. The four mentors turning around will only give the contestants more choices, and the impact on the subsequent schedule will be minimal.
This is called spending a lot of money to do a small thing! And there is a good reason to do so - what if the contestant and the mentor are not compatible? One more mentor turning around means one more choice.
Cui Qing, who was originally waiting for Yang Ruoqian to complain about the program crew, was stunned by this question. He didn't react for a long time, and the teacup in his hand was suspended in the air.
He thought for a moment and thought that he might not have made himself clear, so he smiled and said, "What? Mr. Yang, you may have some misunderstandings. You only need one mentor to advance..."
"Oh, I know." Yang Ruoqian waved his hand arrogantly, "I mean, can you pack up the four chairs and take them away? I want them all."
Cui Qing had already forgotten why he had called Yang Ruoqian to dinner. He sat in a daze, his mind in a mess: "Yes, it should be possible... But if you want a certain tutor to turn around, just give him 500,000 yuan to turn around. Why do you have to ask all the tutors to turn around?"
It is definitely possible. The production team is so shameless that they clearly marked the price. Would they mind charging a little more? What is the point of wasting money like this? Even if Kuiguang Group is rich, it can't just spend it like this, right?
Yang Ruoqian said seriously, "What if the singer feels that another mentor is better? What if they regret it after observing the mentor's performance during the selection stage?"
"Wouldn't that harm them?"
"We must give them enough choices. This is the responsible attitude towards singers."
Cui Qing murmured to himself, "Yes, is that so? Then I should contact the program team, right?"
Originally, Cui Qing thought that he would see the young and promising boss get furious with this kind of program crew, but he never expected that not only did Yang Ruoqian not get furious, but he was even a little overjoyed.
Is this a normal reaction? Why does it feel like Mr. Yang is not playing by the rules?
"Okay, then I'll let the company contact the production team. I appreciate your help, no need to bother."
Yang Ruoqian was very satisfied when he got a positive answer.
But he didn’t just pay to turn the chair…
Yang Ruoqian hates this kind of program from the bottom of his heart, which claims to be a talent show based on actual ability but is actually a show to see who can spend more money.
Giving money to such a program team, even if it is just to complete a system task, will make people feel somewhat uncomfortable.
So he planned to do some "big moves" after Wei Ling and Zeng Yi finished their games.
The first plan was to expose the shady dealings of "Sing My Motherland" on the Internet directly as a participant, and use the company's financial resources and influence to quickly hype it up.
Even though there is something shady about this show, it is already known to everyone on earth.
But putting something that everyone takes for granted directly on the table is another concept.
The production team that can host this kind of variety show on TV must be very powerful... After Kui Guang made this revelation, the two companies naturally became enemies.
In order to compete for the high ground of public opinion, both sides will have to spend a lot of money, buy hot searches, buy internet trolls, and even invite some big names to support them.
It won’t be long before this hot topic becomes popular.
After all this, Kui Guang had to lose a lot of money, and the program crew also had to spend an unknown amount of money on public relations. Yang Ruoqian breathed a sigh of relief. It was a win-win situation for all three parties.
Yang Ruoqian, who had already won three times in his mind, was confident of victory and poured himself a cup of tea.
"Come on, Producer Cui, cheers! Celebrate our success!"
Cui Qing raised his teacup blankly: "Ah... Cheers, cheers?"
What success? The movie hasn't even hit theaters yet, and your singer hasn't even entered the competition! It hasn't even started yet, and Mr. Yang has declared himself successful? Is this the confidence of a big boss of a big company? ...
While Yang Ruoqian was making cautious moves, all employees of Kuiguang Group were working cautiously as usual.
I was afraid that I would accidentally exceed the workload and trigger the punishment of being forced to take a half-hour break.
In the noble and grand conference room, Yuan Dezhen, who was in charge of peripheral affairs, held a meeting with his employees who were all more capable than the last.
“…”
"The company has entrusted us with such an important business. The general direction is also very simple. We want to create a 'Kuiguang Ecosystem' that combines all businesses. After you go back, come up with a relevant plan within three working days."
"Well... Anyway, that's what happened. If there's nothing else, everyone can leave now."
