This celebrity is overly enthusiastic!

Chapter 175 Are there people I, Chen Yuan, can't invite?

Originally created by a Dutch company, "The Voice" transcended cultural barriers, was imitated and introduced to various regions, and became a global phenomenon.

The show's most innovative elements are the blind selection swivel chairs and the dual selection rights between judges and contestants.

The judges made their judgments based solely on the contestants' voices while their backs were turned to the contestants, ensuring fairness by selecting only the best voices.

When multiple mentors turn their chairs for the same student, the choice is given to the student, and this reversal of power creates a highly dramatic "snatching" scene.

It combines professionalism, authority, and entertainment, making it a culmination of music talent shows.

Chen Yuan proposed the idea of ​​"The Voice" to his employees at the beginning of the year, and gradually finalized the program format, which consisted of four stages: blind auditions, mentor assessments, team battles, and the final annual gala.

Because of the need to ensure the quality of the show, meet the requirements of post-production editing, and accommodate the schedules of the mentors, "The Voice of China" can only be recorded in advance, and cannot be recorded and broadcast weekly.

Chen Yuan has also found a TV station to broadcast the program: Sichuan Satellite TV, an old friend.

Sichuan Satellite TV ranked outside the top 30 in viewership share among CCTV channels nationwide and in 23 provinces.
Even within Sichuan province, its viewership ratings couldn't compare to CCTV-1 and Hunan TV, making it a complete disgrace.
Sichuan TV has a strong desire for reform and is very confident in Chen Yuan's abilities. They are willing to try the new production and broadcasting separation model of the Metaverse.

Yuan Universe promised to attract advertisers to Sichuan TV, and Sichuan TV was also willing to discuss the distribution of advertising revenue with Yuan Universe, which is directly related to the interests of the TV station.

The program planning and final broadcast channels have been finalized; the next step is formal preparation and production.

Chen Yuan has high hopes for "The Voice of China." To ensure the show's longevity, maintaining a good reputation is crucial, and the selection of mentors is of paramount importance.
It needs to balance musical authority, status in the music industry, professional ability, and variety show appeal, as well as the proportion of musicians from Mainland China, Taiwan, and Hong Kong.
Chen Yuan plans to have Liu Huan, Harlem Yu, CoCo Lee, and Queen Wang Fei as mentors for the first season.

Influencers such as Jay Chou, Eason Chan, A-mei, and Wang Leehom were invited back for subsequent seasons to maintain the show's ratings.

However, the first person the production team invited, who was a sure thing and had a good working relationship with Chen Yuan, directly declined.

Chen Yuan couldn't understand why the princess would refuse something that was clearly mutually beneficial, so he called her directly to ask for her opinion.

Then Chen Yuan was completely speechless. Wang Fei thought that the format of "The Voice of China" was too fake. On the surface, it was a so-called two-way selection between mentors and students, but in reality, it was all pre-arranged. It was exaggerated and pretentious, and she didn't like it.

You participated in "The Voice of China" in your past life, so why are you complaining about it now?
No, no, no! Chen Yuan smacked his head twice. It seemed that the princess had never participated in "The Voice of China".
Chen Yuan confused the plot of Happy Twist's "Goodbye Mr. Loser," which parodies the princess and Chef Xie, with reality.

Sigh, the princess really is that kind of independent and unyielding person; she's not afraid of offending anyone at all.

He's exceptionally carefree and has a strong inner core; otherwise, he wouldn't have faced public pressure to date a chef 11 years his junior.

And indeed, as the princess said, "The Voice of China" is a variety show, and variety shows also have scripts and directors.

What viewers see on television, apart from the live broadcast and various so-called 'performance accidents,' is basically all arranged by the production team.

Some members of the "The Voice of China" production team have also suggested that by delving deeper into the contestants' background stories and emotional experiences, they could strengthen the "inspirational" and "dream-chasing" narratives and increase the show's appeal. Many people think this is a good idea.

Zhejiang TV's strategy was initially very effective, but after two or three seasons, viewers grew tired of these cheap platitudes.
So much so that "What is your dream?" became a meme. Chen Yuan directly rejected all suggestions that added value to the show, and decided to make a purely entertainment program.

Chen Yuan felt a little frustrated. Even though he now held a very high position in the entertainment industry, he couldn't influence those who were truly strong-willed and had strong self-discipline!

This, on the contrary, stirred up his stubborn temper.

Feeling somewhat resentful at being directly rejected, he had to personally explain the pros and cons to the princess. Variety shows can be either meticulously planned or entertaining and lively.

To ensure the fairness of the show, he doesn't plan to follow Hunan TV's example and sign all the promising newcomers as long-term employees. Can this be called hypocritical and pretentious?

I need to make this matter clear to her. At that point, whether the princess stays or leaves will be beyond Chen Yuan's control.

After dialing the princess's number again and confirming that she was practicing singing at the Baihua Recording Studio and had nothing urgent, Chen Yuan asked Lao Zhang to take her there.

With a helpless smile, the princess hung up the phone. Seeing this, Li Yapeng immediately took the initiative to inquire, wanting to share the burden for the diva.

Since breaking up with Zhou Xun in 03, Li Yapeng has been pursuing Wang Fei with great enthusiasm. Now that they have finally sparked some interest, Li Yapeng naturally doesn't want to miss any opportunity to show his feelings.

"Was that Chen Yuan calling again?" "Yes, it's still about that variety show. I refused over the phone, but he seems unwilling to give up and wants to come over and talk to me in person."

The princess took a cigarette from the pack, but before she could even put it in her mouth, Li Yapeng's lighter was already in front of her.

Zhang Yadong, who was standing nearby, placed his headphones on the keyboard and spoke up for the troubled princess, saying:
"These big bosses in the entertainment industry are really stubborn, always imposing their will on others."

Li Yapeng was well aware of Chen Yuan's immense influence in the entertainment industry, and kindly reminded his friend, who also owed his success in the music scene to the princess's support:
"Yadong, we can just vent about this in private. Don't say it in front of outsiders. Chen Yuan is really not a simple person."

The princess had no aversion to Chen Yuan. From their previous conversations, she knew that Chen Yuan was just as stubborn as she was.

She wasn't good at getting along with people whose temperaments were similar to hers, which made her feel a little conflicted.

Li Yapeng took the initiative to remind Zhang Yadong to be mindful of his words, which Princess Wang found very thoughtful. She didn't want her friend to misunderstand because of her.

"Yes, Yadong, we only have a business disagreement, there are no other conflicts."

Gao Yuanyuan's mind finally caught on, and her eyes widened. "The President Chen you're talking about, could it be Chen Yuan from Yuan Universe?"

Li Yapeng exclaimed, "It's him! Otherwise, who else in the industry could give Ah Fei such a headache?"

To the average person, Chen Yuan is a genius who has endured hardship and built his empire from scratch. But to those in the industry, he is a completely incomprehensible and irrational monster.

Every single thing he did was shrouded in an eeriness; the entertainment industry shouldn't be run like that at all, yet he managed to rise through the ranks without relying on the industry's intricate connections and flattery.
Relying solely on the inherent quality of their work and their phenomenal advertising and marketing strategies, they've cut their way from Nantianmen to Penglai East Road.
In just four years, she not only transformed herself into a world-class star, but also brought along Fan Binbin, who had an incredibly lucky streak!
In fact, many people disapprove of Chen Yuan's unbridled actions that disrupt the industry's ecosystem.

Previously, they lacked confidence when facing Chen Yuan, but now Chen Yuan, with his Sino-US co-production "The Edge Walker," is regarded by the higher authorities as a darling to lead the reform of the domestic film industry, and he also has a very solid relationship with foreign companies.
With these two relationships in place, no one can touch him; only he himself can stop the momentum of the metaverse.

Baihua Recording Studio, located in Baihua Shenchu ​​Hutong, Xinjiekou South Street, Xicheng District, is one of the earliest professional recording studios in the capital.

Many classic albums that have gone down in history were born here, and Baihua Recording Studio has almost become a 'pilgrimage site' for Chinese rock music.

Chen Yuan didn't have that deep a passion for rock and roll, and didn't feel that there was anything special about this place. He even felt that the recording studio was a bit out of place in the alley courtyard, even though it was indeed quite rock and punk.

Just as he reached the main gate, before he could even take a good look at the scenery, Chen Yuan's gaze was drawn to a beautiful figure emerging from a house in the side courtyard.

To be honest, although Chen Yuan had a lot of communication with the princess and made many phone calls, the song "The Widow's Little Song" in "The Edge Walker" was given to her to sing by Chen Yuan.
But in reality, this seems to be the first time they've met, and Chen Yuan is digging through his memories to find out what they're really like.

It's all because he's too busy; he's rarely seen at various award ceremonies, celebrations, and galas in China.

When "Legend of Seven Swords" swept various TV awards at home and abroad, it was always the cast and crew members, as well as Binbin, who attended the awards ceremony on his behalf.

There is no doubt that the princess's looks are outstanding in the music industry, and even in the entire entertainment industry.

Her beauty does not follow traditional aesthetic standards; she has a square face but high cheekbones and a sharp, knife-cut jawline, giving her a bone structure rarely seen in East Asian women.

Those eyes were particularly unique—clear, long and narrow, with slightly drooping corners, exuding a cool and aloof air while also harboring a hint of liveliness.

It's almost June, and she was only wearing a simple short-sleeved shirt and skirt.
A swan-like neck, square shoulders, and a 174cm tall, slender figure with amazing legs. Despite having given birth, she is still slim but not skinny. It is truly a casual yet exquisite stroke of the Creator's brush.

"Mr. Chen, what a rare guest! Would you like me to show you around Baihua Recording Studio?"

The princess waved to him, and her otherworldly aura instantly melted away, revealing a childlike innocence and playfulness that pulled Chen Yuan back to his senses from his daydreams.

Chen Yuan took off his sunglasses and revealed a bright smile, greeting the princess and the others who came out of the recording studio and into the courtyard.

"Then please lead the way! I've been wanting to meet you for a long time, Faye Wong."

Yapeng, it's been so long! I didn't expect to see you here too.

It's a pleasure to meet you, Zhang Yadong.
"Oh, Gao Yuanyuan, you're here too! What a coincidence!"
