Starting with Super Girl, he began to train the Chinese entertainment industry.

Chapter 83: Dragon TV and Jiangsu TV follow up on "Go! Good Boys!" and "Absolute Singing".

Hunan TV's "Little Apple": [After the Super Girl competition ended last night, officials from relevant departments in Tianjin called our station to inquire about Zhang Liangying's situation.]

The post got over 200 replies in just one hour!
It's only 8 a.m.!
In 2005, when the internet and computers were not very widespread, such a rapid response rate was considered a viral post.

The moderator immediately pinned it to the top.

[Comrade Little Apple, do you mean that Tianjin wants to invite Zhang Liangying to participate in the grand gala commemorating the 60th anniversary of the victory in the War of Resistance Against Japan?]

Holy crap! She's absolutely stunning... even the national team approves!

[The song "Wanjiang" is perfect for a gala; this leader truly understands music.]

【…】

Xiao Sun went to work overtime after posting the message.

The Super Girl competition just ended last night, and the station has a lot of things to do. Those in the publicity department are never idle.

It wasn't until 10 a.m. that he finally had time to log into the forum, read through all the replies, and then replied: "[The Tianjin side does indeed want to invite Liangying to the party. They are studying the feasibility of the plan and should contact her soon.]"

A stone stirred up a thousand waves.

The fans were so excited that they spread the news everywhere.

"This is the real champion!"

"Liangying is too amazing."

“I am a supervisor at a factory in Suzhou. When I went to the factory today, they were all talking about Super Girl. I scolded the workers who were not fans of Liang Ying.”

"If Liangying could really attend this kind of party, that would be perfect protection! No one would dare to cause trouble for her anymore!"

"The prestige of this championship is still rising!!"

……

Sparrows are eating it!
I played with her all night, but it wasn't enough for her. She woke up around 8 or 9 a.m. and started snuggling up to me and acting all cute.

Beautiful girl, you must be really hungry.

Shen Qing was too lazy to move or even open her eyes, so she simply covered her face with Liang Ying's torn lace nightgown and continued to doze off for a while.

And apart from his face being covered by clothing, the rest of his body was completely...

In the end.

Liangying didn't want to get down, but Shen Qing wouldn't allow her to take maternity leave.

Suddenly, Xiao Ma flipped her over and pinned her down. "You little bastard, trying to sneak off maternity leave, huh? It's still early. Next month, you'd better practice your skills and release an album!"

Zhang Liangying: "Waaah~"

After eating and drinking their fill, the two of them took a short rest, since they had nothing else to do anyway.

I don't want to deal with media interview requests for now; let the news of my victory circulate for a while longer.

……

At the same time~
The "Super Girl" craze swept across the country, or rather, a nationwide talent show craze.

Dragon TV, Jiangsu TV, and Zhejiang TV, three well-funded television stations in the Yangtze River Delta region, are almost all holding emergency meetings to explore the possibility of hosting talent shows.

Last night's "Super Girl" competition was absolutely amazing!

Zhang Liangying used three songs to elevate it to a level it didn't deserve, sparking almost nationwide discussion.

This morning, you could hear young people discussing the term "Super Girl" anywhere there were lots of young people.

Countless people saw the opportunity to become famous overnight.

Starting at 8 a.m., many male students called Hunan TV, strongly demanding that the station restart "Super Boy".

Many people don't know this~
In fact, the first talent show created by Hunan TV was "Super Boy," which was planned by the entertainment channel.

Why did the male voice come first?
Because in many people's minds, the main force behind celebrity worship is always women; they are enthusiastic enough and willing to spend money!
Men are relatively rational and not easily fooled!
and so.

Of course, they need to hold talent shows for men to attract a large number of female fans.

However, the leaders of Hunan TV did not pay attention to it at the time and did not allocate resources to fully support "Super Boy", resulting in almost no one knowing about the program.

Not to mention signing up to participate.

Later, the production team, not giving up, simply renamed it "Super Girl".

Then the leaders became interested and started to "go satellite" for the program, allowing it to air on Hunan TV.

This change directly led to an exponential increase in attention, and the 2004 "Super Girl" competition was a great success, selecting two beauties, An Youqi and Zhang Hanyun.

Hunan TV thought that the top three in this year's competition would also be beauties, but they were very wrong.

The change in popular trends was completely unexpected.

Of this year's top ten, only Zhang Liangying is a long-haired girl; the rest are short-haired tomboys.

The show went off track!
Be caught off guard.

Fortunately, the event was a great success, and this androgynous style seems to have attracted even more enthusiastic female fans.

now.

This has allowed Hunan TV to fully experience the benefits of talent shows, and there will only be more talent shows in the future.

But this also brings up a problem~
The fact that they have been selecting female contestants for two consecutive years has resulted in all the female contestants who are over 18 years old, have good singing skills, good looks, and unique personalities being snapped up long ago.

Will we be able to select more outstanding candidates next?
Hard!

First of all, the approach of selecting beautiful women has already been proven to be a failure.

An Youqi, the champion in 2004, was quite good-looking, but after only one year, she was practically invisible.

If it weren't for the song "Sour and Sweet Is Me" which saved Zhang Hanyun, the third runner-up, she would have been just another nobody.

Secondly, the androgynous tomboy style contestants were all swept up this year, and if the judges select this type of contestant again next year, the popularity will definitely not be as high as this year.

This is intolerable for TV stations that demand year-on-year performance growth; a decline is an absolute sin!
Some might say that if "Super Girl" continues next year, there will definitely be a lot of talented newcomers applying, and maybe a third type of contestant will emerge?
For example, a female contestant like Jolin Tsai who is good at both singing and dancing. That idea is too naive!
Can you find one player like this out of a million people?

Hunan TV won't take the risk of trying.

Moreover, after two years of selection, almost all the eligible girls have already registered, so there is no fresh blood left.

Take the 2006 "Super Girl" competition from my previous life as an example. The only really good contestants you could name were Shang Wenjie and Tan Weiwei; the rest were basically unknown.

Among the top ten was Han Zhenzhen, who had registered for the competition for the third time and even came in seventh place!

This contestant wasn't very strong; she was eliminated by Ji Minjia in the Hangzhou division's top 10 to top 7 competition this year.

She couldn't even make it into the top five in the Hangzhou division, yet she still managed to get seventh place nationwide in 2006.

This clearly shows how weak the 2006 "Super Girl" competition was.

It's because all the good candidates were selected in the previous two years, so how many could possibly slip through the net?
and so.

In 2007, Hunan TV finally learned its lesson.

Instead of "Super Girl", "Happy Boy" will be held.

The popularity of this year's competition far exceeded that of "Super Girl" in 2005, and its influence was enormous.

Chen Chusheng, Su Xing, Zhang Jie, Wei Chen, Yu Haoming... these are all outstanding players who emerged this year.

……

2 p.m.

Conference room at Mango Building.

A high-level meeting, personally chaired by Director Ou of Hunan TV, is currently underway. The meeting's theme is: "A Special Seminar on Singing Talent Shows in 2006."

This morning, Jiangsu TV, Dragon TV, and Zhejiang TV held relevant meetings.

Around 11 a.m., Jiangsu and Dragon TV reached a conclusion, which the mole immediately relayed to Hunan TV.

It is understood that...
Jiangsu TV will host "Absolute Singing" next year, which will have a different style from "Super Girl" and will use a male-female pairing format.

The program that Dragon TV will be hosting next year is called "Go! Good Men!", which sounds like a talent show stage purely for men.

The flames of war have been ignited.

The pool for talent shows is only so big; if you take a little, I take a little less, so the competition is bound to be fierce.

As the originator and leader of singing talent shows, Hunan TV is determined to defend its territory and will certainly not sit idly by and wait for its demise.

and so.

The afternoon meeting started off very tense.

The first to speak was Wang Peng, who first reported on the work of the 2005 Super Girl competition and took full credit for it.

Director Ou: "Yes, I've watched some of this year's programs, and they were indeed very well organized, especially Zhang Liangying, who was praised by CCTV. Her rendition of 'Wanjiang' last night was excellent..."

Wang Peng and Deputy Director Li were sweating profusely.

Both of them were praying that they would not be asked about Zhang Liangying.

But what you fear will come to you.

Director Ou leaned forward and asked with a smile, "How do you plan to develop Zhang Liangying? When will you release her first album?"

There was silence.

Everyone looked at Wang Peng.

Wang Peng muttered a sigh of relief, then mustered his courage and replied, "Director, Zhang Liangying... she terminated her contract with Tianyu Media..."

Master Ou instantly performed a smile-disappearing trick.

He leaned back in his chair, his fingers tapping the table, and instead of reprimanding Wang Peng, the little rascal, he turned to Deputy Director Li and asked, "Director Li, why was the contract terminated? Did you report this to me?"

Deputy Director Li secretly wanted to tear Wang Peng apart...

But at this point, he had to give his superiors a reasonable explanation.

"Director, it was indeed my mistake not to report this to you. I will definitely write a self-criticism for you later."

Deputy Director Li is indeed a seasoned veteran.

He immediately took some responsibility to calm Ou down and prevent him from getting angry.

Then he began to explain.

"At the time, Zhang Liangying refused to sign a supplementary contract at the urging of her agent, and we valued her talent and were reluctant to eliminate her prematurely, which resulted in her not being bound by any contract..."

After listening, Director Ou was very unhappy, but he didn't say anything more and turned to let the entertainment channel report on next year's work plan.

Sure enough, ginger is still spicy!
Deputy Director Li managed to coax and deceive them for the time being.

……

Subsequently.

The head of the entertainment channel's planning team first reported on the information they had gathered about the meetings held this morning by Jiangsu Satellite TV and Dragon TV.

Then, two more plans were reported: "2006 Super Girl" and "2006 Super Boy".

After listening to the report, Director Ou remained silent for a few minutes, then tapped the table and asked, "Director Li, you are in charge of the entertainment channel, what are your thoughts?"

Director Li nodded quickly, secretly determined not to upset Ou again.

He had just been reprimanded by Ou, and now Ou was asking him questions. This was clearly a test of his abilities.

If the answer is unsatisfactory, he may not be in charge of the lucrative entertainment channel position next year.

So, Deputy Director Li sat up straight and said seriously, "Director, I thought about it carefully all night last night, and this morning I finally figured it out. I think we should hold 'Super Boy'."
