Chapter 62 New Concept Music Variety Show

Every voice deserves to be heard.

This is the promotional slogan for the new music variety show, which is the creative music variety show that manager Song Yiwen mentioned before, and that she would help Yu Wei make contact in advance.

The production team was very satisfied with Yu Wei. He not only has immense popularity, but is also an outstanding musician with exceptional personal abilities. He is also very good at creating entertaining content, making him a perfect candidate for a permanent guest.

"Music Blind Box" is a music reality show centered around ordinary people. The show downplays the competitive aspect of music variety shows and instead uses music to explore stories of ordinary life, emphasizing the warm core of music healing life.

Before each episode begins filming, the production team selects several ordinary people from across the country to team up with the guests in the form of blind boxes, and then they enter a period of getting to know each other.

In this process, ordinary people are the main characters, while celebrities and singers are the witnesses to the story. Finally, the celebrity guests choose a song that best fits the story of the ordinary contestant, and the performance is completed in the form of a duet or a solo performance by the ordinary contestant.

No competitions, just stories.

The show's selling point is the cross-disciplinary collaboration between musicians and non-musicians, showcasing the power of music to break down barriers and allowing more viewers to resonate with the ordinary aspects of daily life.

For example, if Yu Wei draws a food delivery driver as a guest, he has to accompany the driver for a week and sing "Chasing Dreams with a Pure Heart" at the end. If he draws a teacher as a guest, he has to go to class and sing the whole song "The Story of Time"...

Compared to traditional music variety shows, it's more like a life experience reality show, where the final music is simply an echo of ordinary people's mundane lives, proving that "every voice deserves to be heard."

Yu Wei is quite interested in this show because it really feels like opening a blind box, and it's very down-to-earth. In the end, it doesn't force any values; they're all in the songs.

The show doesn't have a script. After all, ordinary people's lives aren't rehearsed; it's all live, and nobody knows what will happen.

This show is actually similar to the earlier "I Want to Sing with You", but it is bolder and incorporates segments about celebrities' life experiences, similar to "Go Fighting!".

First, experience and witness the story, and finally express it through music.

"Any of my fellow authors have signed up for the competition? Wouldn't it be perfectly reasonable for me to write alongside them?"

Faced with Yu Wei's sudden idea, the staff member in charge of the "Music Blind Box" agreement looked embarrassed and could only look to Liu Ning next to him for help.

He seems to really enjoy writing...

"Kidding."

Yu Wei was just saying it casually. He knew online novel authors well. Part-time authors worked non-stop, and full-time authors stayed at home. They both wished they could have an extra three hours of rest a day. How could they possibly go on TV shows?

Most netizens will probably just watch and observe this kind of public appearance and somewhat troublesome activity, since no one wants to suddenly have an "observer" by their side.

However, there are enough people in China that even if the percentage of applicants is small, it is still a huge number.

"This kind of show should invite a few male idols, then their dream girls will sign up like crazy, and they can take advantage of the idols during the recording."

Yu Wei made a joke while confirming the contract details, and the staff didn't dare to say a word, only responding in their hearts: it's fine if you draw the dream girl, but if you draw the dream boy, well...

There are three regular guests on the show, one of whom is Yu Wei. The other two are veterans in the entertainment industry, but only one of them is a singer, while the other is an actor who has only sung theme songs for TV dramas.

"Is this Teacher Meng Han Meng Lei's father?"

In "HELLO Roommate", Meng Lei, a super star's second-generation, left a deep impression on Yu Wei, and he remembered this veteran musician who was highly praised in the entertainment industry.

He might not be a superstar, but he is definitely one of the top singers in the Chinese music scene, a phenomenal creator, and his representative works are the kind that can be included in music textbooks.

At the time, Meng Lei was the only one who didn't have much of an emotional reaction after listening to his songs; that's what his father did.

"Yes, Teacher Meng is very interested in our program format."

The staff member's words seemed to be self-praise, but it shows that this teacher Meng Han must have a good personality. People who don't like socializing would not participate in this kind of variety show.

It can only be said that the entertainment industry is a society of acquaintances. The longer you are in it, the more connections you have, and it is difficult to encounter completely unfamiliar artists.

On the afternoon of the day the contract was signed, the official "Music Blind Box" team released a public audition notice for amateurs across the internet. The notice not only featured posters of Yu Wei and his team but also emphasized the theme of "creating together with the stars".

Want to surprise the guests? Want a celebrity to experience your life? Want them to sing a song with you? This is a music story that exists because of you, so sign up now!

"Su Xinnan is here too! My goddess! I have no choice but to sign up now." "Can junior high school students sign up? I'll have Yu Wei come and teach me."

"That's right, bro. We can't finish harvesting the wheat at home. Let's just randomly pick a celebrity to come home and farm the land."

"You guys are too hellish, I just want to run away with Teacher Meng Han..."

The show became incredibly popular as soon as it was announced. Singing together is just fulfilling a dream, but the time spent together is so much more fun. Imagine taking the celebrities to visit each other and showing them off – wouldn't that be awesome?

The three artists featured in "Music Blind Box" are all quite popular, with Yu Wei even slightly less well-known than the other two.

Su Xinnan and Meng Han have both been famous for a long time, and they were born during the period of rapid development in the Chinese entertainment industry, so they are very popular with the audience.

Moreover, the production team has a fourth guest star, but the identity of this person will not be announced directly and will only be revealed on the day of recording.

The reason for keeping it a secret is simple: the unknown is what makes things most exciting, and revealing the guests too obviously would not attract casual viewers.

This kind of variety show featuring interaction between celebrities and ordinary people can easily turn into a fan meeting, where all the guests are revealed, and then it's likely that four fan groups will sign up.

As long as the fourth guest star isn't announced in advance, those who are interested in the show will be looking forward to it, just in case it turns out to be one of their favorite celebrities.

Maintaining suspense will significantly increase both participation and viewership.

Yu Wei's book club has been overrun by the registration for "Music Blind Box". There's no need to discuss the plot of the novel, which is full of allusions. It's more fun to just watch the drama unfold.

"I've already signed up. When the time comes, I'll tie Yu Wei up and make him create non-stop. He'll write words during the day and songs at night. He won't get any food until he finishes. Brothers, am I doing the right thing?"

"Don't let him covet that lousy book anymore. Tie him up at night to write songs, and tie him to a pillar during the day to sing for you. Wouldn't that be better?"

"My little whip is itching for a fight!"

"Selected readers, please share your location when the time comes, I'll definitely come and check it out."

"+1."

"+1."

Fear……

The probability of being selected by one of my readers in twelve episodes is actually quite high; it's almost unbelievable.

Although the production team certainly won't let them do anything reckless, the readers' imaginations are still too wild, especially since Yu Wei has tricked readers a few times. What would happen if he fell into their hands?

There are no entry requirements for "Music Blind Box". He is not quite clear about the selection criteria for the show. The theme of the show is music stories, and it should revolve around the stories.

As for singing ability, it's not that important. In fact, it's easy for a segment of a singer singing off-key to go viral on this kind of variety show, because it's all about creating a good show effect.

However, this show is somewhat like a talent show, and there will definitely be people who simply "have musical dreams" who sign up to go on the show and find opportunities.

Appearance, singing ability, and identity don't matter much. To be selected by the program team, you mainly need to be interesting. The stranger your profession, the easier it is to be selected.

Blind boxes are all about surprises and punishments, and that's what makes them exciting.

Looking at the "malicious" book club circle, Yu Wei suddenly had a bold idea. They all want to screw me over, right? I'll just make a song called "Tantative" for them to sing and they'll behave!
This show is perfect for him. Readers see the song title in the book but have no idea what's going to happen. A few days later, when they get the song, they're completely clueless...

Although it's unrelated to the show's theme, the production team will probably turn a blind eye since he's released a new song, provided he can justify it.

Within the rules of the show, Yu Wei and his readers seemed to have reached some kind of tacit understanding: the readers wanted to torture him, and he wanted to prank the readers.

Come on, hurt each other!

"Shouldn't we arrange for you to listen to 'Tante', 'Balloon', and 'Qinghai-Tibet Plateau'?"
