Chapter 2267 "I am a singer"
Kim Yu-fan nodded with a smile, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart that he was his own person. Before this new show even had a shadow, Choi Kyung-hyuk made a complete statement. Moreover, Choi Kyung-hyuk's promise also left him speechless, perhaps it was to make anyone in his current position unable to say.
Of course, Kim Yu-hwan also knew that Choi Kyung Hyuk had confidence in himself, and secondly because he was a shareholder of M-net and his own person. More importantly, Choi Kyung Hyuk had this courage. He dared to express his opinion and guarantee when he didn't know at all and did not know any news about the new variety show. This is indeed something that ordinary people can do.
Thinking of his previous cooperation with the three major TV stations, the process seemed smooth, but in fact, both sides kept entangled and negotiated, constantly tempted and dug holes for their own interests, especially because the program "Youth Invincible" had a conflict with the KBS TV show. Looking at Choi Kyung Hyuk's current statement, Kim Yu-fan couldn't help but sigh: "Look, this is the gap!"
"Un, thank you President Choi for your trust in Play. I promise that this variety show will not disappoint President Choi, nor will Minister Han, nor will it disappoint M-net."
Speaking of this, Kim Yu-fan's face showed great firmness and confidence, which made Choi Kyung Hyuk and Han Young-wook, who were beside him, also infected by Kim Yu-fan's confidence. He firmly believed that Kim Yu-fan's new program would definitely not disappoint.
Of course, all this is based on the success of many excellent variety shows of Kim Yu-hwan. Kim Yu-hwan has the confidence and qualification to say such things. If it were someone else, he had no results at all, so he patted Choi Kyung-hyuk and Han Young-wook on his chest and promised that he would never disappoint you and M-net. Choi Kyung-hyuk and Han Young-wook easily believed each other's words, that was a fool.
I guess not only won’t believe it, but on the contrary, Choi Kyung Hyuk and Han Young Wook both looked at each other with a fool’s eyes, just one sentence: What are you kidding?
Speaking of this, Kim Yu-fan looked at Han Ying-wook. After all, Han Ying-wook is the director of the M-net Arts Department. Since it is about variety shows, I must talk to Han Ying-wook.
"My new variety show this time is very simple, that is a program about singer singing competitions, which is considered a singing reality show. For those who participate in this program, we don't need ordinary people. We all look for singers and majors for me, and those singers who have already debuted will participate." Kim Yu-hwan didn't say nonsense, and directly expressed his thoughts. This program is "I Am a Singer".
Although "I Am a Singer" is a classic variety show in Korea, or "I Am a Singer" is also a classic variety show, compared with other classic variety shows, the ratings and influence of "I Am a Singer" are a little weaker.
But it is undeniable that even if "I Am a Singer" cannot compare with other classic variety shows, such as "Running Man" and "Infinite Challenge", "I Am a Singer" has one of the biggest characteristics, that is, stability.
That's right, it's stability. The situation of the program "I Am a Singer" is the same as today's "Youth Invincible", which is stable and very terrifying.
Let’s put it this way, although the ratings of "Running Man" and "Infinite Challenge" are higher than those of "I Am a Singer", if any of these two programs are not done well, the ratings will probably be overtaken by "I Am a Singer".
That's right, it's just overtaking, because "I Am a Singer" has always maintained a characteristic at the beginning of its launch, that is, it has a higher rating than excellent variety shows, but it has a slightly less rating than classic variety shows such as "Running Man" and "Infinite Challenge".
But it’s just a little less. "Running Man" and "Infinite Challenge" show a little fatigue, and then they will be instantly overtaken by "I Am a Singer".
"Singing reality show?" Han Yingxu was stunned for a moment, and looked at Kim Yu-fan in confusion and asked, "President Kim, you just said that this singing reality show is also a singing competition program, so there will be elimination, right?"
Han Yingxu is worthy of being a familiar person with variety shows. He soon realized the biggest feature of this show from Kim Yu-fan's words.
"Of course!" Kim Yu-fan nodded seriously: "Since it's a game, there must be both a loss and a win. Since you lose, you're eliminated. This is inevitable. If you want to blame yourself, you can't blame others for your poor strength."
Han Yingxu thought about it and shook his head a little, "Since it is a singing competition program for professional singers and there are also eliminations, it will be difficult to invite guests in this way. After all, many singers still attach great importance to their reputation and reputation. If they are eliminated by other singers, even juniors or inconspicuous singers in the program "I am a Singer", they will be embarrassing at that time, and I guess not many singers are willing to come."
This sentence makes a lot of sense. In fact, it is not just Korean "I Am a Singer", but also Chinese "I Am a Singer". Basically, top singers don't come to participate, just because they are afraid of losing their feet, and then they will be embarrassed and smash their own signature.
Of course, there are also top singers from big names to participate, but these people come to participate in the program not because of the program, but because the program team, or the organizer, and at the same time, they have a unique position. It is definitely not that a singing competition program will be eliminated, which will shake their stable position for many years. So it doesn’t matter whether they fail or not, so they come here.
But in general, for the sake of one's own face, there are probably not many singers willing to come in the face of this so-called elimination system. Secondly, even if the singer is willing, the agency behind the singer is worried that the singer will be eliminated, and if it is smashed and embarrassing, it will try its best to prevent the singer from participating in "I Am a Singer".
"I don't care about this because this is what the program team and you M-net should be responsible for. Since any variety show started, when guests, especially when they officially meet with everyone for the first time, the choice of guests is very important. If you choose the right guest, or the guests suitable for the program, then the new program will be half successful, and at least it will have a good start."
Han Yingxu nodded. The guests are really important to a new variety show. The simplest truth is that if a new variety show that has just opened can invite a few of the most popular artists in the entertainment industry, then there is no doubt that just accompanying the popularity and influence of these artists is enough to ensure that the show will get a good start and the ratings will definitely not be low.
Not to mention anything else, if a new variety show that has just started is now, if you can invite Kim Yu-fan, BOA, Yunho, G-Dragon, Choi Min-sik, Bong Joon-ho and others to the first episode at the same time, you can imagine that the ratings of this episode are definitely a terrifying rating.
Even if the ratings of this show in the second episode fall into single digits, what does it matter? At least the first episode is definitely a prestigious player, and it will even reach a brand new variety show, even a horror rating that everyone dared not imagine before.
This is the importance of the guests. If you are just a group of trainees, even if you have unlimited potential and beautiful women, what's the use? If you have no popularity, no influence, no influence. This is of no help to the ratings of the program at all. You can only slowly develop slowly based on the content and efforts of the program itself, and win reputation, and the ratings can slowly rise.
But in general, any program team also hopes to have a large group of artists. Relying on the popularity and influence of the artists, the ratings of the program will remain high. This not only gives a good omen, but also will be of great help to the stability of the ratings after the program.
"This is how I set this show. There are seven singers in the first round. The first round is the qualifying competition, the second round is the knockout competition, and the last two contestants in the second round. Combined with the results of the first round, the singer who is behind was eliminated."
Seeing Choi Kyung Hyuk and Han Young-wook confused, clearly not understanding what they meant, Kim Yu-hwan explained helplessly.
"For example, I won the third place in the first round of the game and the seventh place in the second round of the game. Kim Jong Kook won the fifth place in the first round of the game and the sixth place in the second round of the game. Because the second round of the game was a knockout match, the result of the last two of them in the second round was me and Jong Kook. If the two of them wanted to combine the results of the first round of the game, then my first round of the game was third place and the second round of the game was seventh place. The sum of the number was 10, and then divided by 2 was equal to 5. And Jong Kook was fifth place in the first round, and the second round was sixth place. In total, it was 11 and divided by 2, which was 5.5. After calculation, then in this way, Kim Jong Kook should be eliminated, not me, although I was the last place in the second round of the game."
"This..." Han Yingxu didn't know what to say for a moment. If calculated according to this standard, it would be too cruel. Sometimes it would be too depressed for people who were eliminated.
"Nothing is not true." Without waiting for Han Yingxu to say anything, Kim Yu-fan directly interrupted Han Yingxu and said: "After all, it is a matter of your own strength, or a question of choosing songs or arrangements. If you are strong enough, you can get the support and love of fans on the scene, and you have achieved good results. You can get the first place in the qualifying round, even if you are the last place in the second knockout round, you may not be eliminated. Of course, maybe if you meet the second place in the qualifying round and the sixth place in the knockout round, then the situation will not be painful. Both sides draw the overall scores of 4, then the final seventh place will be eliminated based on the results of the knockout round."
Looking at Han Young-woo who was thinking, Kim Yu-fan laughed: "So, the second round of knockout is cruel, but the first round of qualifying is also very important. If you don't want to be eliminated, then you must do your best whether it is the qualifying or the knockout. If we gave examples of depression before, then you can't blame others, you can only say that it's your own problem. If you have the strength and want to be safe and make it to the top five, won't you have nothing to do?"
Han Yingxu clapped his hands and said excitedly: "Yes, yes, that's right, so the show "I Am a Singer" has been constantly putting pressure on singers from the beginning. If the singer can't stand it, he will naturally perform abnormally and will definitely be eliminated at that time. If you want to continue to stand on this stage and prove your strength, you must do your best. No minute or second can be neglected."
"That's right, that's what I mean." Kim Yu-hwan nodded with a smile. Han Ying-wook was very familiar with variety shows, which also saved Kim Yu-hwan a lot of trouble and verbalism. At least he could understand a few words and understand what he meant.
"So what if the singer is eliminated?" Han Yingxu continued to ask.
"If a singer is eliminated, then there will naturally be a fill-up singer. The fill-up singer appears in the third fill-up competition. Because he is a fill-up singer, he is the last one to appear. At the same time, the audience on the scene and the audience in front of the TV can look forward to it, and look forward to who will fill it."
"However, the fill-up singer is different from the starter singer. The starter singer has experienced cruel competition inventory. If the fill-up singer is too easy, it will not work. Therefore, the fill-up singer has only one chance to challenge. The rule is very simple, that is, you must enter the top three. If you don't enter the top three, you won't be eliminated. You will only accumulate the seventh place score in secret. The fourth game of the kicking singer appears and is also the last one to appear. Once the kicking singer enters the top four, the last singer will be automatically eliminated. At this time, the fill-up singer does not enter the top three when the fill-up player is replaced, and secretly accumulates the seventh place. When the kicking singer appears, the kicking singer enters the fourth place, and then the fifth place, the sixth place and the seventh place, and the last one will be eliminated."
"Realistically speaking, the seventh place should be eliminated, but if there is a fill-up singer in the last three, if there is no top three in the fill-up competition, then the seventh place will be accumulated secretly. Then, when the kick-up competition, the kick-up singer will enter the top four, and the fill-up singer will be eliminated in the last three, there is no doubt that in general, it will definitely be eliminated."
Han Yingxu: "That's right, this rule also requires telling the fill-up singers not to think that it's not a knockout competition, it can be so easy and without any pressure. It's still very dangerous not to enter the top three. At least when playing for singers, if you don't enter the top four, you will definitely be eliminated."
"That's right!" Kim Yu-fan nodded with a smile: "The starting singer has been constantly competing and eliminating from the beginning, and the pressure is high, and the dangers are encountered are more, so at this time, there are some advantages. But I guess, in the end, three to four of the seven starting singers can stand to the end, which is very good."
Han Yingxu nodded. Although he didn't understand music very much, Han Yingxu knew one thing better. Under this huge pressure, when all singers were trying their best to use their ultimate moves, the pressure would only increase. Under the huge pressure, even the old seniors would probably perform abnormally and be eliminated.
"Of course, there is only one chance for a singer to play, that is, a player competition. In contrast, players must have absolute confidence in themselves. After all, it is a competition that determines the winner and lose. Players who play in the top four will enter the top four, otherwise they will be eliminated."
"This is probably the mode, the first round of qualifying, the second round of knockout, the third round of fill-up, the fourth round of the hall match. The fifth round of the qualifying match is another, so it keeps running. In my plan for this new program, this cycle should be at least five cycles, one cycle is four games, just one month, and five cycles are five months. After five cycles, we start to enter the finals, which is the Battle of Kings of Singers."
"I set up two links in the Battle of King of Singers. The first link is to sing. The participating singers can invite their good friends, which are limited to artists in the entertainment industry. As for singers or actors, even hosts and funny artists, the screenwriter and director do not care. They must be artists in the entertainment industry."
"At this time, there is a ranking of the competition. Then there is a personal battle between the singers, which is also ranked. After two competitions, Bangbang and Personal Battle, the overall result is the first place, so it is the singer in the first season of "I Am a Singer". If the two sides tied, then the singer will be determined based on the rankings in the second round of individual battles."
Seeing Han Yingxu nodding continuously to express his understanding, Kim Yu-fan said seriously: "These rules must be written clearly and tell every singer who comes to participate in "I am a Singer". Rules are this rules. We do not play behind-the-scenes operations, especially those who are tied for the next ranking but are eliminated, or lose the throne of the King of Singers. No matter what our program team does, the rules are written clearly. If you blame them, you will blame you for not having that luck, or others perform better."
Han Yingxu nodded, then smiled at Kim Yu-fan and said, "This is no problem. Although sometimes it is also a bit of luck, at least our program team has written the rules clearly from the beginning. All singers know and understand. If they lose or are eliminated, they can't blame our program team. They can only blame their poor performance or their opponents for performing better. Or they fail to select songs and arrange music, and the fans on the scene will not accept or agree with it."
"That's right, that's the reason!" Kim Yu-hwan nodded, then looked at Han Ying-wook and said seriously: "So, this scoring must be fair and just. Voting is given to the audience on the scene of "I Am a Singer". Each episode of "I Am a Singer" can allow 300 audiences to enter the scene. After the competition, 300 audiences on the scene will vote on the position and then the final ranking will be conducted."
Chapter completed!
