Xu Mingzhen said, “But after we started watching it, we continued watching because the plot is good. Your father and I aren’t young, we may not be able to fully speak for others, but if even we find the show interesting to watch, I’m sure the show would still attract appeal to viewers from our age group.”
“No matter what, we would be able to reach out to a larger audience pool if the show was cast on television. Even those who didn’t know about the show would be exposed to its existence too.” Tan Mo said as she nodded with a smile.
“You came back in time. Jinqi had just received the call from Mr. Xu not long before you arrived.” Xu Mingzhen said to Tan Mo. “I didn’t have the time to ask just now. What did Mr. Xu say? Which company does Kefeng Films intend to sell ‘Broken Continent’ to?”
Tan Jinqi said, “These four TV stations are similar in their ranking. It depends
on how they want to go about doing the broadcast. Do they want to buy the
exclusive broadcast rights or accept co-broadcast rights shared with other
stations?
“If they want to broadcast exclusively, the highest bidder will get the exclusive
rights. If they want to co-broadcast, those stations who are offering acceptable
prices and are willing to match the amount can broadcast the show together.”
“Mr. Xu intends to wait. It is conservative to say that even if the revenues from
early-bird viewers.h.i.+p aren’t much, it won’t affect the reputation and
achievements of ‘Broken Continent. But if the revenue is high enough, we can
still raise the price with these television stations,” “Tan Jinqi said.
“Mr. Xu is a professional. We can rest a.s.sured and leave everything else to
him.”Xu Mingzhen nodded.
In any case, Tanyue had invested in the show and would get a proportional
amount of the profits.
There was also a clause in the contract that Tan Jinqi signed. If the show
earned a lot, he would get a bigger share of the profits as well.
It was rare, but Tan Jinsheng wore an embarra.s.sed expression as he raised his
hand and piped up, “There’s one more thing”
All eyes were on him.
Tan Jinsheng said, “Star Guest had asked me to go on their show, ‘Singing
Voice’ as a challenger.”
‘Singing Voice’ was an extremely popular show on Star Guest station.
Although it was not as big of hype in its third season compared to the first, it’s
still number one amongst the singing variety shows.
Despite competing with other reality shows airing at the same time on Friday
nights, the ratings aren’t bad at all.
It surpa.s.sed all the other variety shows and ranked first.
The variety shows broadcasted on Friday night were the trump card variety
shows from the various television stations.
Donghua Station’s “Can’t Catch Up With Me,” and Star Glory Station’s “sleeping
on The streets,” were all extremely popular variety shows, especially when
they have the most popular artiste starring as guests on them. Many of them
had taken the initiative to contact the program team and had to queue up for a
chance to go on the show.
Both variety shows had persisted for many years. Back then, “sleeping on The
Streets” was launched as the competing variety show against ‘Can’t Catch Up
With
Me’.
The two variety shows could be said to be old rivals. They were launched in the
same year, and they were both scheduled to go online on the same day during
the summer vacation. They were even broadcast on Friday at the same 9 pm
time slot.
Even after they had released six seasons, the audience was still enthusiastic.
Although ‘Singing Voice’ could not be considered to be in the same period as
them and was aired after the other two shows were halfway through its
broadcast, it was able to rank amongst the top three variety shows.
The popularity of ‘Singing Voice’ could be seen from how it is always rotating
between the other two t.i.tles in the top three places for the variety shows
ranking.
However, ‘Singing Voice’ didn’t only hire popular singers. on the contrary, it
would star singers who were not as famous but had good singing skills as its
guests.
Those who did not have good singing skills would be ridiculed by the netizens
for overestimating their abilities even if they were on the show. While many
singers who were no longer popular would regain some fame because of the
show.
The Tan family was really surprised that the program team had invited Tan
Jinsheng to sing on its show. However, upon deeper thought, it was indeed
reasonable.
Tan Jinsheng was not famous People were starting to learn of him through the
OSTS for Broken Continent. Now was the time his popularity is starting to rise.
People could remember his name, but not his face.
Many people might be a little confused and unable to remember who “Tan
Jinsheng’ was.
Some would also be confused and question how did the song ‘Mountain and
River’ sound like
But once they hear the melody of the song, they would think: So it was this
song
Then, when the melody and the t.i.tle of the song matched, the singer would
also be easily a.s.sociated with it.
In this aspect, Tan Jinsheng fitted perfectly into the criteria of the guests
invited on ‘singing Voice.
A song with a certain level of popularity that would be easily recognized by
many viewers, but sung by a singer that was not well-known by the public.
There was a high chance of gaining fame in one fell swoop by appearing on
Snging Voice’.
Not only did it help bo0ost the singer’s fame, but it also further proved the
power and influence of ‘Singing Voice’. As long as the singer had the ability, the
show could make an unknown singer tamous.
Who would take the biggest advantage?
Undoubtedly, it would be the program team.
However, there were benefits for Tan Jinsheng to star on the show.
“It’s a good thing” Tan Jingi nodded and said, “What do you think?”
Tan Jinsheng scratched his head and said, “Since Big Brother thinks it’s good, I
have no issues. I was still hesitant and consulted Teacher. He also thinks it’s
not bad, and I can give it a try. It’s fine even if I don’t succeed in the challenge.
As long as I sing well and prove my skills, everyone will definitely remember
me.
“But..”Tan Jinsheng said bewilderedly, “I feel that the teachers words are a
little strange. Since I can sing well and have the skills to make everyone
remember me, why would I fail in the challenge?”
Other than Tan Jinsheng, everyone else was silent.
Tan Jinsheng and Tan Jinyi were similar. Up until now, they were very wel
protected by their teachers.
Perhaps because their teachers were getting on with age and were extremely
doting on the youngest student.
He Haoyan had always had a good temper. When he was younger, he had raised
Dong Yanzhen as if he was raising a child.
As he got older, his temper was even better than when he had raised Dong
Yanzhen after he gained a young disciple. He was so doting that he would give
Tan Jinyi everything he wanted.
Otherwise, he wouldn’t contact the n.o.bel laureate, Ji Qinghe, just because Tan
Jinyi wanted to talk to her.
Liu Shengtai had a bad temper when he was young.
Liu fingshen, Ji Jiayi, and Lu Xiangchen, these three disciples were all
characters with great personalities.
At the mention of Ji Jiayi, Tan Mo suddenly remembered something.
She didn’t pay much attention to singers but she knew Lu Xiangchen simply
because he was too famous.
She was even more unfamiliar with rock singers.
When she heard Ji Jiayi’s name earlier, she wondered why it sounded familiar.
She had never paid attention to rock singers either.
But now, she suddenly remembered why. He has the same name as Ji Jiayi from
Hua University’s Mathematics Department.
No wonder she thought it sounded familiar.
Liu Shengtai’s three disciples had character and would never perform soddy
jobs the moment it involves professional matters..
