The world of Chinese style creates a prosperous era for girl groups

Xinan TV is recruiting new investors under the name of Xia Haoyang, redesigning the program flow, and even moving the studio to Yancheng.

Xia Haoyang has been idle recently and has been taking care of his pregnant wife.

It was another working day, and Xia Haoyang and Zeng Jingyi walked into the company arm in arm.

"Good morning, President Xia, good morning, Jingyi. The movie 'My Sassy Girl', which was filmed by Qianda Films and in which our company also invested, has grossed over 11 billion yuan on its ninth day of release. It has also received very good reviews and is likely to become the highest-grossing film of the summer." Front desk lady Fei was reporting on the summer movie box office.

"The popularity of this film is expected. Jingyi and I went to the cinema to watch it last night. They filmed it very well." Xia Haoyang nodded.

"However, the Hong Kong-produced film "On the Road to Love" did not perform well at the box office. After three days of release in China, the cumulative box office has not yet exceeded 100 million. However, including Taiwan, Japan, Southeast Asia, and Hong Kong, it is said that the box office is around 200 million."

"Well, Love on the Road is a good film, but the films produced by Hong Kong peers are more musicals. Perhaps after fermentation and sedimentation, some of the songs and dances in it will go viral on short videos, but it will not have much impact on the box office of recent releases. I remember watching a musical called Flash Girl before, which also had excellent reputation but poor box office. Musicals are niche and cannot be compared with commercial films, but there will be a group of fans who truly love them."

"Then, 'Introduction to Architecture' will be released this Friday. This summer, there will be several films written by Xia competing with each other."

"It's all because all the companies have chosen the summer vacation period, so let them compete." Xia Haoyang shrugged. He didn't care.

"Mr. Xia, do you remember that we once bet on which of these films would win the award?" Sister Fei said with a smile.

"I have this impression that in the conference room, several company representatives were full of confidence and even made it public for netizens to vote."

"Yes, before the movie was released, the highest vote support rate among the audience was for 101 Architecture, followed by Request in the Rain, ranked second, A Moment to Remember, ranked third, and My Sassy Girl ranked fourth. But now My Sassy Girl has made a comeback in terms of word of mouth, and netizens have voted for it to be the best movie of the year."

"Among these films, 'My Sassy Girl' may have the highest box office because the script is a typical commercial film and Qianda Film and Television has invested heavily and created an all-star cast. But it is not certain whether it will win an award. We'll have to see the results of other films after they are released." Xia Haoyang weighed it himself.

"'Request in the Rain' will be released at the beginning of next month, and 'If You Are the One' will be released during the National Day holiday. Fans are also looking forward to it." Sister Fei was also a little excited.

"I'm going to watch all these movies in the cinema. I also want to know which one is the best and has the greatest chance of winning an award." Zeng Jingyi turned her head and glanced at Xia Haoyang.

"Okay, let's go watch "Introduction to Architecture" this weekend." Xia Haoyang smiled gently at Zeng Jingyi.

After learning about the box office performance of summer movies, Xia Haoyang returned to the office.

But not long after we sat down, Sister Fei from the front desk knocked on the door and walked in.

"Sister Fei, is there something wrong?"

"Mr. Xia, please take a look at this I just received." Sister Fei handed over the faxed document she had just received.

"Okay, thank you." Xia Haoyang took the fax and looked at it carefully: the complete schedule of the variety show "Competition 100".

Before I finished reading the entire process outline, my cell phone rang.

"Hey?"

"Hello, President Xia, I'm Tian Danni. Have you received the fax of the complete process sheet for "Competition 100"?"

"Got it, I'm looking at it."

"Great, please take a look at the entire process chart. If you have any comments, feel free to let us know and we will improve it."

"I do have some opinions." Xia Haoyang smiled.

"Oh, what is it? Just tell me."

"Don't worry, let me finish reading it first, and then I'll write you a copy of my revision ideas, and you can compare them."

"Okay, I look forward to Mr. Xia's opinion."

What Tian Danni said was not just superficial words, but came from the bottom of her heart.

Currently, Xinan TV has two popular variety shows produced by Xia Haoyang: "Single is Hell" and "Island of Fire". "Single is Hell" has been especially popular since its release. This year is the fifth year of its production, and it ranks among the top in the station in terms of advertising fees every year.

Shanghai TV even spent 800 million to buy out two variety shows designed by Xia Haoyang, one is "Squid Game" and the other is "Brothers and Sisters in Love", with an exclusive buyout price of 600 million.

These two variety shows have brought Shencheng TV into everyone's vision in recent years, and have successfully helped Shencheng TV complete its network layout and attracted a group of hardcore fans.

Therefore, Tian Danni sincerely hopes that Xia Haoyang can provide some constructive suggestions to help her improve the production of this program.

As for the girl group development variety show, Xia Haoyang does have some good ideas, although they were not designed by him.

"PRODUCE 101" is the first "agency-planned girl group" girl group debut selection program variety show in the original time and space South Korea. Through this program, 101 female trainees from different agencies will compete, and the top 11 with the best results will become a group to release a single and perform as Mnet artists for a year. The girl group members who participate in this project can still debut as members of the girl group being trained by the original agency in the future.

Xia Haoyang knows the entire process of this variety show very well.

First, the members will be introduced and freely choose seats ranked 1-101. After performing according to the groups of the brokerage companies, the host and the mentors will assign them to the best grade A to the worst grade F. The grading is not limited by the brokerage company group. Each trainee will receive a corresponding grade based on their performance and then be given a corresponding level of training courses.

Because there are so many people and the program time is limited, it will take two episodes to produce.

The general content of the third period will be to assign dormitories according to levels and give singing and dancing training. After three days of course guidance, members will record a performance video of a designated song on their own, and the host and mentors will readjust the levels of some members based on their performance and practice conditions in the video.

The contestants who entered the A grade could receive the coveted reward. Then, the group competition as the second evaluation began. The contestants finished all the preparations, including selecting songs, members, and content, and began to rehearse in groups.

After that, there will be group competition and elimination system.

And the position will be evaluated according to the characteristics of the girl group. For example, whether you are good at leading singing, leading dancing or rapping, each stage show will select the highest scorer in each category.

Then, after several public performances, the nine most suitable people will be selected to debut, including the center, lead singer, lead dancer, main rapper, and backing singer.
