Chapter 97: Preparation for “I Am a Singer”

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

“I Am a Singer”! This name was quite awesome, and Hong Dali was referencing it from the show from his previous life, also called “I Am a Singer.” It could be said that the show created quite a viewing miracle in his previous life!

Hong Dali explained it very simply, but Zhang Cai was a profession in this field, after all. She doubtfully asked, “Young Master, creating such a show, others aside, the first season of this show would not have any reputation to it. Without enough audience, how are we supposed to make it famous? If the viewership rating is too low, the TV station will cut it off. If Nianwei joined the show, the reputation would be enough, but such a competition where the result is obvious, it wouldn’t be interesting.”

She wasn’t boosting for Li Nianwei, but with Li Nianwei’s current fame and capability, getting first every time wasn’t a difficult task.

For this kind of talent show, its reputation was a big part in whether it succeeded or not.

“How could I possibly ask Sister Nianwei to do such tiring work.” Hong Dali laughed and said, “We can spend money to hire celebrities! Hire those second class and third class singers from the music world, or those celebrities who just debuted and are eager to prove themselves! There are still quite a number of capable singers from the second and third class singers, just that they lack the opportunity to prove themselves. Those who just debuted and are eager to prove themselves will be willing to join too. Plus, I will give them some benefit. It should be of no issue!”

“Yup, I think that will work!” This time, it was Tang Muxin who decided. “Then, it’s settled!”

Hong Dali asked in surprise, “Why did you agree so straightforwardly this time!?”

Tang Muxin grinned and answered, “Hiring second and third class singers and those small celebrities who just debuted won’t cost too much, right.”

“You only know how to prevent me from squandering.” Hong Dali mumbled. “You’re still so young, yet you already have the air of a housewife...”

Tang Muxin decisively ignored Hong Dali’s words. She directly pulled the rest and turned back. “Let’s go back and plan in detail.”

Very quickly, everyone returned to Chenhui Building and headed to the office in Caiwei Entertainment which was at level nine.

After entering the meeting room, Zhang Cai took out a large whiteboard and wrote “I Am a Singer” on it. Then, she smiled and said, “Occasionally, there will also be a few talent shows. However, most of them don’t have anything special. Just that the singers will go up the stage and sing, then the judges will give them marks and split them into different levels. If there isn’t anything new or special, the talent show won’t succeed. Looking through all the other talent shows so far, most of them depend on the singer’s background story to affect the audience’s mood—their singing voice is instead not as important. I think that Young Master’s ‘I Am a Singer’ have what it takes to make it.”

She paused before continuing, “Since following the trend will be hard to emerge from the other talent shows, we might as well go against the flow. We shall not play with background stories and their emotions, we shall just state that we will be judging them just on their voice and music. I think that coupled with some good advertising, Young Master’s ‘I Am a Singer’ which is very rare in our country will be able to successfully attract the attention of viewers. That shouldn’t be a difficult thing.”

“Yup.” As the female celebrity with the fastest growth in net worth, Li Nianwei’s perceptivity of the entertainment industry was quite accurate. She agreed and said, “Arrange it properly, there shouldn’t be any problem.”

Hong Dali lay on the table, sniffled and said, “Anyway, this is the case. I’m only interested in spending money, my aim is just to have fun, squandering is my hobby. Help me think of who to seek, and roughly how much money is needed.”

Zhang Cai walked back and forth in the meeting room. While walking, she said, “The problem now is that other talent shows can easily seek for normal people for candidates, but it isn’t an easy thing to find professional singers to compete on stage. Famed singers will consider about winning and losing. They might not gain anything if they win, but their worth will drop drastically if they lose. As for second and third class singers, the audience is not familiar with them—they will not be helpful for pulling up the viewership rating, gaining sponsors... or even attracting audiences.” She wanted to say gaining sponsorships, but considering Hong Dali’s ways, she decisively stopped on that part.

Then, Li Nianwei nodded and said, “It would be best to invite those who are long famous but are not very active in the music world nowadays. Sister Cai, do you have any good suggestions?”

“Such a candidate, let me think...” Under everyone’s eyes, Zhang Cai walked another two rounds. Suddenly, her eyes lit up. “I thought of someone! We can invite Chu Zhongqin, he shouldn’t be too difficult to invite!”

“Chu Zhongqin?” Hong Dali used his elbows to support his head. Puzzled, he asked, “Who is that?”

Zhang Cai knew that Hong Dali was usually very carefree, it was normal that he was not familiar with such a person. Thus, she immediately introduced: “Chu Zhongqin is one of the most famous singers during the nineties in our country. He’s a big brotherly figure, has become more low-profile these past few years, and rarely appearing on TV anymore. However, he’s definitely an expert in the music world. If he can come, with such a big signboard, we just have to find a few others, and it will do!”

“This is good, this is good!” Hong Dali excitedly slapped the table. “Use 500,000 yuan to invite him! Yup, that’s right. For our show, that should be some reward. Otherwise, there won’t be much point in the competition—if there isn’t any reward, how am I supposed to spend money? This is how it shall be: the first place will obtain one million yuan, the one kicked out will get 200,000 yuan as comfort! Then, aren’t we lacking celebrities? Those who joined the show, as long as they’re willing, they can sign a contract with our company. They will definitely not lack benefits in the future.”

Tang Muxin pouted and mumbled, “He really has too much money and nowhere to spend. Just a few words and that’s 2 million yuan throw in. Sigh, such is the ways of the world. I thought that this time we wouldn’t have to spend so much.”

Unfortunately, under Hong Dali’s money halo that was so bright that it would blind others, Tang Muxin’s small discontent could only become small.

Under Hong Dali’s say, this matter was basically decided.

Zhang Cai smiled and said, “If Chu Zhongqin came, other famed singers like Shen Rui, Li Xiao, and Panda should be willing to participate as well.” Speaking up to this point, she suddenly frowned and said, “However, if Chu Zhongqin really came, he would be doing us a great favor. Young Master, do you think that for the first round...” She didn’t say it directly, but all those present knew what she meant.

Hong Dali wasn’t silly. He naturally knew what she was trying to say. “I understand. For the first round, take it as a token of our appreciation for him helping us to attract the audience. Yup, for the first round, all of the audience shall be given a luxurious phone. You know what I mean!”

Zhang Cai nodded and said, “Yup, as long as Young Master agrees, for the first round, we will have to make sure that Chu Zhongqin gets first in place. If not, with his fame and bringing so many other celebrities with him, and helping to pull up the viewership rating, if he ended in the last few positions, it wouldn’t look nice. Now, there aren’t any more problems.”

“OK, then it’s settled.” Hong Dali stood up. “Ah, I’m tired, time to go home!” As he said so, he called out to Zhang Cai. “Oh right, Sister Cai, afterUnexpectedly! has completed with the producing, don’t send it out yet. Give me a copy of it first. Heh heh, this is my first movie, I have to let my parents view it first. Only then can others view it!”

“OK, I got it.”

“OK, time to head home and sleep!”
