The summer heat is getting more and more intense.
This summer, the movie market is going crazy!
The movie "The Demon Killer", invested by Tianle Group, ended its July journey with 1.1 billion.
After the domestic protection month ended, the Hollywood blockbuster "Burning Fire 6" was released, ending its August journey with 1.3 billion.
Many people went to the movies throughout the summer.
This summer, three billion-dollar movies were released.
In addition to these two, there is also a Hollywood blockbuster "Battle of the Eagles" which also reached a box office of 1 billion.
However, the reputation of this movie is not very good, and it feels like at least 300 million yuan was faked.
The movie "The Demon Killer" also suddenly gave Tianle two first-line movie stars.
Zhou Muhe, summer.
And within the industry, there is also turmoil.
It took only half a year for Tianle to complete its entertainment integration.
In the past six months, Tianle has made a lot of moves.
The current variety show market is still dominated by "Summer of Idols" in which Tianle participated.
As for TV dramas, in August, Tianle launched "Sky Lovers" which was broadcast on Mango Channel, with a viewership rating of 2.3.
In the music field, a niche rock musician named Bei Sheng, formerly from Fuqing Records, now from Tianle Music Department, released the album "My Broken Heart", which achieved the terrifying sales figure of four million electronic music albums.
It seems that the golden age of entertainment is back.
However, more companies are crying wolf.
After Wang Xiya became the head of Tianle, the entire temperament of Tianle changed.
Movies, variety shows, music, TV series, all aspects are unstoppable.
However, Han Zhou knew that these data were more or less problematic.
It’s not that Wang Xiya wants to hype it up.
Rather, the explosive period of "Summer of Idols" is coming, and Wang Xiya now lets Tianle step forward. On the one hand, he wants to protect New World from damage, and on the other hand, he wants to strongly declare that after taking over Tianle, she is not here to just idle away her time.
Kill two birds with one stone.
And Wang Xiya's every move seems to be suppressing the Beijing circle.
Only people in the industry know that Wang Xiya took action against the Beijing circle alone.
But no one knows the reason.
If we look at it from this perspective, Wang Xiya's move achieved three goals at once.
This summer has been exceptionally lively.
At the end of August, "Summer of Idols" has reached its penultimate episode.
When the show was broadcast, the number of Penguin's VIP members had reached a terrifying 44 million.
What does forty-four million mean?
Half a year ago, the number of members of Penguin and Youvideo was 50-50, both in the millions.
Now, Penguin is not even qualified to eat the dust and exhaust gas that Youvideo has left behind.
Everyone knows that it’s not Penguin Video that’s scary, it’s “Summer of Idols” that’s scary.
When the penultimate episode, which was the eleventh episode of "Summer of Idols", was broadcast, Penguin Video very low-key posted a screenshot of the data on Weibo.
7.3 million people watched in real time!
Seven million three hundred thousand!
What does that mean? It was broadcast on TV during prime time, and the ratings were close to 3%!
This is a fucking online variety show, not a TV variety show!
Based on this data, the weekly viewership of this variety show should be around 35 million.
Thirty-five million, if converted into audience ratings, that's more than 10 percent! Over 10!
It is true that the ratings of online variety shows cannot be calculated in this way, but even if we make a discount, let’s say it’s over 7.
How long has it been since a variety show with a running time of over 7 appeared in the market?
The last time was when Mango TV was striving to become the number one satellite TV station, that was five years ago!
Moreover, the target audience of online variety shows is young people. Currently, the national population under the age of 35 is about 650 million.
The population under the age of thirty is 500 million.
What does it mean if a certain percentage of the young population has watched a program?
There are about three people watching it in a class.
There are five people watching in a train carriage.
The heat has exploded.
Han Zhou estimated that the total viewership was basically the same as the first season of "The Voice of China" online and TV broadcasts in his previous life.
But how low is the profit margin of The Voice of China? All the singers who came out of it later failed.
But "Summer of Idol" is not like that.
On the computer screen, An Lan said: "Unfortunately, according to the netizens' vote, only the top fourteen can enter the finals. There are still twenty-five contestants."
"That means eleven people are going to be eliminated today."
They passed the three public performances but failed the netizens' vote.
The votes from netizens are all won with real money.
Every twenty-four tickets represent twenty-five dollars of membership income.
Moreover, not every member will vote; the voting probability is only 60%.
Fans have spent real money, so the show must give them the experience of spending money.
Anyone who does not receive enough votes to make it into the top fourteen will be eliminated before the finals.
This time, no contestants will be participating in the competition, and the fans will directly vote.
Weibo votes account for 20% of the votes, and video member votes account for 80%. If you are not popular enough, you will be eliminated.
Although this issue is preparation for the finals.
Many people are preparing for the final performance.
However, many people practiced but did not qualify for the finals.
Zhang Ceyong: "Read the elimination list or the finalist list?"
Han Zhou: "Read out the elimination list."
"The efforts of the players who have made it to this day are worthy of recognition."
"It's a pity that you didn't get the approval of the vast majority of people, but you got the approval of the four of us."
“I hope you have a bright future.”
"But, obviously, without debuting as a group, your future journey to debut will be very bumpy. I just hope that among those who are eliminated, one or two will actually stay and remain on stage."
The atmosphere on the scene was tense to the extreme.
Lu Jin: "I'll be the villain. Give me the list and I'll read it out."
An Lan handed the list to Lu Jin.
When Lu Jin saw the first name on the list, he tilted his head and closed his eyes, looking regretful and annoyed. He turned around and took a deep breath: "Xiang Chong."
The trainees exclaimed: “Huh?!”
Xiang Chong is very competitive. He was a member of Class A in the first selection and entered Class S after the second public performance.
Lu Jin: "I like your rap and your dancing very much, but unfortunately, you ranked 18th in the national producer voting, and you were eliminated."
Xiang Chong smiled faintly, looking nonchalant.
Someone next to him reached out and put his hand on his shoulder.
Xiang Chong couldn't hold it back any longer at this moment. He lowered his head and burst into tears.
Lu Jin did not stop and continued: "Ska."
McCas looked back in confusion.
Ska was also a player recommended by Penguin Video. He was from the same South Korean group as McCaska. He was bought back by Li Shanghong and now, he has been eliminated.
Lu Jin: "I'm sorry. You were selected by Penguin Video. Your singing skills are among the top ten among all the contestants. However, in the past 150 days, you have made very little progress. Many contestants who were not as good as you before have quietly surpassed you."
"You started out in the top 10 on the ballot and now you're number 22, you're eliminated."
The barrage of comments is no longer calm.
"Penguin eliminated its own people as well?"
"Oh, are you serious? Or are you going to sacrifice one to create the illusion that it's real?"
Lu Jin didn't stop: "Wei Chengan."
"ah?!!!"
There was an uproar at the scene.
Because Wei Chengan is always performing in Zhangdie Group.
Zhang Diezu always ranks first or second.
Wei Chengan was like Zhang Die's follower, and looked like he was going to be recommended to the final team. Was he eliminated?
Doesn’t that mean Zhang Die is the only one left in HNT now?
Zhang Die was stunned.
Wei Chengan hugged Zhang Die and comforted him: "You can't take care of me forever. I am just a burden."
"Among the current contestants, I rank last, right?"
Lu Jin: "Actually, the audience likes you very much. You are ranked 15th overall, but that's it. You're only 3,000 votes away."
More than 3,000 votes. If fans recharge 100 more memberships, this gap can be made up in the next few months.
But all it takes is a hundred fans.
"HNT was one of the most famous groups among all before the competition started, and now you are still the most popular player among the audience, just one point behind."
If he was really the last among these twenty or so people, Wei Chengan wouldn't think it was a big deal.
But, it’s just a little bit short!
If we make it to the finals, maybe we can form a group?!
Wei Chengan raised his head.
Zhang Die lowered his head.
HNT, was scattered.
Wang Chuyang turned his head and looked over here, unable to bear to look.
After all, they are brothers from the same company.
Now eliminated.
Wei Chengan: "It's okay. I can't get this leg anymore. I'll go find Liu Yanzhou to get some. Liu Yanzhou is doing very well now."
Lu Jin: "Being an actor is not that easy. Liu Yanzhou's training now is much worse than your training these days."
"Next, Tang..."
The contestants were eliminated one by one.
The fans were stunned and numb by the sight.
There is no reason why many people like someone.
You said Wei Chengan is visibly tastier than Wang Chuyang?
You said Wei Chengan is not as good-looking as Wang Chuyang?
You said Wei Chengan is useless at dancing?
I just like Wei Chengan, you bite me?
What Wang Chuyang? I think Wei Chengan is better than Wang Chuyang.
And, believe it firmly.
Now, many people are watching the contestants they have supported for several months fall at the last hurdle.
My mentality has collapsed.
What’s more, even more terrifying is yet to come.
What about the finals? Fourteen people are divided into two groups for the final PK.
There are still five to be eliminated.
There was no competition in this episode, just training, but because of this elimination session, the ratings soared wildly.
A terrifying batch.
Sure enough, only tragedy is the most touching.
Many fans were posting comments: "Wang Chuyang must debut as the center!"
"Qi Xiaoqi must form a group!"
"Xu Ping, I will always support you!!"
At the end, Han Zhou said: "Many people have been eliminated. Do you think you can go and see them off?"
"no."
"Because you have to train here and wait for the finals."
"If I am eliminated by then, then my farewell at this time will be like a joke."
"Dear trainees, come on!"
The night before the final was more like a night of memories.
Many eliminated contestants, those who were released and those who were not released, trailers, interesting things, hard training, and the brilliance of the competition.
All edited out.
Broadcast one by one.
Farewell one by one.
At this time, it is really uncomfortable without BGM.
However, only the final credits are qualified to have BGM.
Although Han Zhou valued fairness, he still unceremoniously gave the highlight of the ending to Wei Chengan.
And the final BGM of this episode also appeared.
"Confession Night".
Tonight is not a farewell, tonight is a confession.
During the song, many fans and audience members confessed their love to their favorite contestants.
There are also many passers-by who confess their love to their secret crushes who dare not confess.
The barrage of comments is numerous and dense.
As usual, many people went to Yinlang to look for the trailers for this episode.
As we all know, the ending credits of a show only show highlights of the trailer.
The fan videos are all VIP content and have no soundtracks.
The Yinlang short video will edit out personal clips for each contestant.
This time, "The Night of Confession" seems not suitable for editing by Wang Chuyang, Zhang Die and others.
But, they were wrong.
Wang Chuyang’s BGM is the original version of “Night of Confession”.
Zhang Die’s BGM is the piano version of “Night of Confession”.
Lin Jianqiu’s BGM is the Guzheng version of “Night of Confession”.
Wang Mo's BGM is the guitar version of "Night of Confession".
Each contestant has his or her own version of the music for different instruments.
Most of those who stayed had their own instrumental version of “The Night of Confession”.
Some of the contestants who left also have their own exclusive version of "Night of Confession".
Ska's version is the suona version of "Night of Confession".
Xiang Chong's version is the violin version of "Night of Confession".
Wei Chengan's version is the erhu version of "Night of Confession".
Fans, even those who have only watched the show a few times, or even those who have never watched the show, were moved to tears!
A BGM can make you interested in a show.
Because New World has always had more than one player serving as captain, Han Zhou always has to come up with three songs.
There is also the ending BGM.
These songs are the indicators of the popular songs of the week.
The songs of Mailang, Universal and Tianle are also classics.
These songs will at least appear in the top twenty of the hot song charts.
Han Zhou's songs often appear in the top ten.
But Han Zhou's BGM is always among the top three.
Pure music, no vocals, the first three are horrible.
This time, the various musical instruments in "Confession Night" further demonstrated the importance of these contestants.
The piano version is like the calm after the storm.
The Guzheng version is like the thoughts after calmness.
Guitar version: Very miserable and depressing. Someone has tried it. The guitar version can only be performed in a lower key. If it is the original version, only a few sentences can be performed. Because the key of "Night of Confession" is too high, the guitar version cannot perform the whole song at all. After the key is lowered, it becomes very, very depressing.
The suona version is a pure elegy to the underworld, reminding fans that it’s time to give their share of money.
The violin version, with its heart-wrenching pain, makes many people feel palpitations.
The erhu version is indescribably sad.
In the comment section, someone left a message and gave it a lot of likes.
"People say the erhu is sad. Why? Because the erhu has only two strings, which depend on each other. If one string breaks, the other string can no longer be played."
Some people also joked: "Since Wei Cheng'an was eliminated, who is more sad, Liu Yanzhou or Zhang Die?"
"Find the area of ​​Zhang Die's psychological shadow."
"To be honest, HNT's ability to produce a Zhang Die has exceeded our expectations. At first, we thought that if the three players couldn't make it through two rounds, they would all be eliminated."
"However, the HNT trio is still the most popular. Didn't they say Liu Yanzhou is going to be an actor? I wonder when I can see him again."
"What about Wei Chengan? Can Wei Chengan be an actor?"
"There aren't that many vacancies in the entertainment industry. Unless Zhang Die returns to HNT after the show ends and takes him with him, otherwise..."
"It's impossible. After the group is formed, the new group will have a one-year binding period. There will be group variety shows belonging to the group, and there will also be various activities. After a year, everything will have changed dramatically."
A year later?
Who can tell what will happen a year later?
Magic City, New World Branch.
Han Zhou asked as he typed: "Have you decided what you want to do?"
Wei Chengan was indeed one of the three worst people in the training camp.
At the beginning, the HNT trio was very bad.
That’s why they were selected by Han Zhou, who said he would make them famous.
However, although they are popular, this kind of group cannot remain popular forever unless Han Zhou keeps giving them songs and resources.
Maybe a year later, HNT will sometimes reunite, and Zhang Die will help Liu Yanzhou and Wei Chengan make some money to live a better life, but the days of HNT can never be returned.
Wei Chengan: "Can I be a sound engineer?"
Han Zhou glanced at Wei Chengan and said, "You're a terrible singer, but you speak well. Why don't you try being a voice actor?"
“Or a radio host?”
“Maybe in the future you can invite Zhang Die, Liu Yanzhou, Wang Chuyang and others to be guests on your show.”
Wei Chengan thought deeply: "Can I think about it for a while?"
Han Zhou looked up: "Okay, how long will it take?"
Wei Chengan: "I really like the Resignation Trilogy, I want to go on the road and watch it."
Han Zhou closed the document: "Go ahead."
After watching Wei Chengan leave, Han Zhou's face twisted: "Damn..."
The employees are out having fun, but the boss has 20 minutes of free time and has to write a novel. It's unfair...
But Han Zhou really needs to make time to write.
Because the special effects of "Young Justice Bao" are in production.
"Kung Fu" will start filming soon.
"Summer of Idol" is about to end.
Idols’ group variety shows also need to be planned.
I will be busy as a dog soon. Now I have some time to write something, but in the next two months, I will not have a single minute of rest.
