The first thing Liang Liang did upon returning to the company was to discuss with Liu Wen the matter of selecting a lead singer for the Blue Shark band.
Liu Wen expressed surprise at Liang Liang's suggestion.
Blue Shark Band is the golden brand of Haiyun Audio-Visual. It's hard to imagine whether Blue Shark Band would still be Blue Shark Band without Liang Liang.
"There's nothing we can do about it. As the company's business grows, I no longer have the time and energy to run the band. The other members of the band can't be idle either, so we need to find a replacement."
Liang Liang was right. He did have a lot on his plate. Besides, it was really unreasonable for a company CEO to be touring around with a band.
How do I find it?
"What do you think about us organizing a talent show with Liaoning Provincial Health Department? Through the talent show, one side can find the lead singer of Nansha Band, and the other side can sign promising talents into the company. This way, we can ensure that the company always has a fresh flow of talent."
Variety shows first appeared on television in 1988, and after more than a decade of development, some have become quite influential.
In 1997, satellite television experienced a boom, with almost every province launching its own satellite channel.
This gives variety shows a stage to perform, but so far no shows have had a significant impact.
It will be several more years before the first truly household-name talent show, "Super Girl," appears.
Liang Liang had no intention of doing "Super Girl". His main purpose was to select a lead singer for the Blue Shark Band. He would rather do "Happy Boys" than "Super Girl".
Liu Wen thought for a moment: "So it's a selection process conducted through a variety show? Like 'Galaxy Star Challenge'?"
"Galaxy Star Grand Challenge" is a TV variety show launched by Fujian Province. The show truly pioneered the talent show model for ordinary people. Later, Hunan TV's Super Girl was influenced by this show and adopted the model of talent show for ordinary people.
"Of course I won't do the same as others; it's no fun eating other people's leftovers."
Will Liaoning TV respond?
"Why not? It's a win-win plan. They'd be crazy to refuse!"
From 2000 to 2002, television entertainment programming will experience an overall downturn, with a significant drop in viewership.
Liang Liang believed that Liaoning Satellite TV would definitely be interested in Haiyun Company's suggestion.
"Since it's not like 'Galaxy Star Grand Arena,' what format do you want to use?"
“Current talent shows all have judges facing the contestants directly. What do you think about having judges perform blind auditions with their backs to the contestants?”
Liu Wen was immediately dumbfounded: "Back to the singer? How are we supposed to choose?"
"Why can't we choose? The most important thing about a singer is their voice. Can't you make a judgment just by hearing their voice?"
Liu Wen blinked a few times: "Ignoring the singer's appearance, focusing only on the singer's voice?"
"correct!"
"Your idea is quite novel."
Nothing new, just things The Voice of China has done before.
However, that swivel chair is a bit technically challenging and requires a professional manufacturer to design and produce it.
"We'll start preparations this year, and the premiere will begin next summer. I'll write out the program's proposal first, and then have people from Hanchui Company negotiate with Liaochen TV. Next will be advertising and promotion, singer auditions, and the final competition next year."
Without hesitation, Liang Liang spent two days writing out all the rules and gameplay of the show he was going to host.
Then, Han Chui's agency sent someone to contact Liaoning TV.
Han Chui, who had followed Liang Liang for many years, could tell at a glance that this must be a program that Liang Liang was going to focus on developing in the next two years.
He personally went to the provincial capital with two assistants.
Liaoning TV has maintained a good cooperative relationship with Haiyun Company since its establishment. Every year, Haiyun Company's artists participate in and support the various galas organized by Liaoning TV if they have the time.
Therefore, it shouldn't be too difficult for Liang Liang's idea to be approved by Liaoning TV.
Liaoning TV was indeed very interested in Liang Liang's idea, but they had objections to how to implement it.
The idea is simple, but it's difficult to implement, especially with a nationwide selection process.
Liaoning TV's idea is to first hold a talent show within the three northeastern provinces to see the reaction to the program, and then expand the scope.
The TV station's idea is not without merit. It is always safer to introduce a new program in a gradual manner. Taking too big a step can easily lead to problems.
Liang Liang is unaware of all this; he is currently hosting a singer from Northwest China at his company.
Luo Lin came to Haiyun Company right after the New Year, which means he has a satisfactory work to show for it.
In previous years, he would only come to Lianwan when the music festival was about to open.
This year, it arrived more than a month earlier.
He did indeed bring many works with him, including the famous "Love Song of the Western Regions".
This song appeared two years earlier than in the previous life.
Although it's just a folk song cover, that one song is enough.
It's a bit of a shame that he sang a lot of cover songs among the songs he brought.
After thinking for a moment, Liang Liang provided Luo Lin with some songs for reference.
These songs include those by A-Du and Yang Kun. Liang Liang hopes that he can select a few of these songs to add to his album.
Liang Liang first suggested that Luo Lin use the name Dao Lang, and planned to keep Dao Lang's true identity hidden, just like in the previous life, to create an air of mystery.
Although Liang Liang has been looking for a replacement for the Blue Shark band, he still needs to work on an album for the Blue Mountain band until that replacement is found.
After all, the Blue Shark band is the backbone of Haiyun Audio-Visual; a single album can bring Haiyun tens of millions in profits.
"Seeking Buddha", "Lady Shexiang", "One Person's Loneliness, Two People's Fault", "A Song of the Mortal World", "Flying Away", "The Last Tenderness", "Falling in Love with a Woman Like You"...
Liang Liang's song selection this time mainly consists of love songs, incorporating many popular elements that cater to the market.
After selecting the songs, Liang Liang urged the band to distribute the sheet music.
The Blue Shark band members, who had been idle for a long time, were extremely excited and started working again.
Liang Liang was indeed busy. After finishing these tasks, he began to discuss the sequel to the movie "Battle of the Heavens" with the scriptwriting department.
After several discussions, the script was finalized.
This movie did quite well last year, so there's no reason not to make a sequel.
As for those girl groups, while they don't have album releases or tours to do, they should all go and act in movies.
This year, Haiyun Audio-Visual also plans to shoot several idol dramas, so these people can't be idle.
This fall, Haiyun's first cinema chain will begin operation.
In addition to its own films, the company also needs to contact other film sources; otherwise, how can the cinema chain operate at a loss from the very beginning?
To this end, the company also established a special department to coordinate film screenings.
