Bright Star Road [Entertainment]

At Studio [-] of the Asian Broadcasting Corporation, audiences and fan representatives have been gathering at the door since [-]:[-] p.m.Today is the live broadcast of the first episode of "Asian Avenue of Stars Finals". This show has lasted for two months, and the season-long promotion cycle of the singing talent show finally ushered in the broadcast time.

According to the arrangement of the Asian Broadcasting Corporation, the Asian Television Network will broadcast a one-hour preview program at [-] o'clock every Friday night, which is a behind-the-scenes reality show; and then provide two hours of live broadcast on Saturday and Sunday for The top [-] and top [-] games will be broadcast live; when the top [-] is reached, the live broadcast on Sunday will be shortened to one hour.

As the first live broadcast, in addition to the high-level executives of Yaxing Production, even the vice president in charge of entertainment content of Asia Broadcasting Corporation also came to supervise the scene.At this time, the final stage walk was going on on the stage, while Li Wei and other contestants who had just appeared in the second round watched everyone's rehearsal from the two sides of the stage without makeup.At seven o'clock, all the rehearsals were over, and all the contestants entered the backstage rest area.

07:30，观众和粉丝代表陆续进场。《亚洲星光大道总决选》的观众是根据报名人数精心挑选的1000名观众，首先男性和女性各占一半；其次，10+年龄段、20+年龄段、30+年龄段、40+年龄段和50+年龄段的比例也根据目前流行音乐市场的消费水平做了区隔，比如20+年龄段的观众占了40%，10+年龄层和30+年龄层分别占了25%和20%，40+年龄层和50年龄层则分别占据10%和5%。因为这1000名观众是有投票权的，选手会依据投票数的多少而晋级或淘汰。剩下还有200名粉丝代表则占据了舞台两侧的站立区，他们是用来活跃现场气氛的。

The four judges are still the king of rock and roll Cui Wei, the queen of immortality Deng Jingwen, the gold medal producer Liang Yawen and the well-known TV producer Simon; and the host is the new generation of cute female anchor Xie Jingjing who is highly praised by ATV.Among the female anchors of ATV, Xie Jingjing, because of her experience as a news anchor, can be regarded as the only one among the junior hosts of ATV who can afford to host large-scale ceremonies.

After the on-site director explained the recording site instructions and the competition schedule, the audience began to enter the waiting time.At one minute to eight, the lights of the entire scene were dimmed.

At eight o'clock, the background LED screen on the main stage and the live broadcast signal simultaneously broadcast the opening title of "Asian Avenue of Stars Final Selection", followed by the sponsor's advertisement, followed by the theme song "Asian Avenue of Stars" persist in".

Following the broadcast of "Perseverance", the ten members of the Victory Youth Team were also waiting at the Starlight Channel backstage.As a return to ATV, Smart & Associates brought in the Shengli Youth Group, which is at the peak of popularity, to warm up the first live broadcast of "Asian Avenue of Stars Finals".

The song that the Victory Youth Group sang on the spot is their recent hit "BUMPUP", which is a Western-style dance song that combines black street percussion and rap.Although this song does not have much nutrition, the stage effect is very good. The use of large oil drums, aluminum buckets, and brooms as percussion music gave the audience a great sense of freshness; coupled with the good knife dance of the Victory Youth Group Level, they quickly made the atmosphere lively.

"ATV has really spent a lot of money this time! I thought their 4000 million speakers and 2000 million lights were bragging, but now it seems that it is true." Since it is a strong variety show in the summer of ATV, other TV networks and cable channels will naturally arrange for spies to come and check one or two. "I heard that their light stands use ten tons of steel, and all the lights are custom-made and imported from Europe, while the light control equipment is specially designed by an American company. This set of light control equipment can make hundreds of lights on site It requires synchronous movement, and the error is so small that it is almost undetectable to the naked eye. You are looking at their light spots, tsk tsk, so uniform, and the edges are so smooth, it is worthy of the Germans' elaborate work. And their strobe lights, most of them now The strobe lights can only make white strobe lights, but here is a color strobe light. This is the latest patent of Philips this year, and they actually got it. It seems that Asian Television Network is going to play with Yaxing production this time. Once it was too big, our boss had a headache."

Because Li Wei was watching from the side of the stage without makeup, most people thought he was just a staff member.It's just that Li Wei's appearance is so amazing that many viewers sighed. No wonder the current stars are more beautiful than the other. Look at the entrances of the entertainment circle are all handsome guys.

The position of the idol under the Smart Agency actually represents the person's status in the group.According to the general rule, the leader should be right in the middle or in front of the team.Even if there are other ACEs in the team, the ACE and the leader should share the CENTER position.However, Zhou Xiao and Shi Ming, who are the captain and vice-captain of the Victory Youth Team, were on both sides of the team. Such a position made people guess.Although a combination like APEX and STORM has also had situations where Leader and ACE stood on both sides, but at that time, someone in the team was usually on schedule, so they could temporarily have a C position.

The current Shengli Youth Group has not yet reached the stage of soloing to find a job, so there is no possibility that a member of the group will get the C position due to a special event.Therefore, the biggest possibility is that Zhou Xiao has lost his C position, and the firm plans to give up on him slowly.Thinking of this, Li Wei couldn't help but sigh.

The firm's brutal elimination system is no stranger to Li Wei. The company only has one or two debut spots each year, and behind this rare debut spot are hundreds of trainees and a dozen limited combinations.When you finally make your debut, you find out that there is a group of seniors who have already become gods or a popular group in front of you, and there is a group of juniors or groups of the same generation behind you.

This year is already the fifth year of the Victory Youth Group. According to the six-year lifespan of an idol group, this year is a critical period for the transformation of the Victory Youth Group.Most of the sky groups adopt the strategy of flying solo and not disbanding. Each group member goes out separately and then supports each other. This is the case with APEX and STORM.For other groups, the whole group attacks in one direction. For example, Prince&Knight focuses on the field of music; She showed her face at the firm's annual "Smart Midsummer Music Season" and "Smart New Year's Eve Concert".

The first round of the top 120 breakout contest lasted about 100 minutes, and if commercial time was excluded, there was only 80 minutes of program time left.Throwing away the time for guest performances and host appearances, the time left for the contestants is only about 50 minutes.Even if only 1 contestants are recorded in one episode, each contestant will only have 30 minute and [-] seconds at most.But the producers naturally have other solutions, because in the top [-] breakout competition and the top [-] elite competition, the judges can vote to forcibly interrupt the singing of certain singers and vote directly.The singers who were forcibly suspended would naturally not have a good ranking, so in fact, the judges directly eliminated some unqualified singers.

The contestants actually don’t know that the video materials of their auditions and final elections have been re-audited by the music team produced by Yaxing and given scores. This score is combined with the media team’s monitoring of public opinion for the contestants. The information is actually graded.From the highest five-star to the lowest one-star, five-star means that there is no problem and you must pass the test; one-star means that you will be eliminated as soon as possible.At the same time, the order in which everyone plays is actually arranged according to everyone's star rating, so as to avoid too much concentration of outstanding singers in a certain period of time, and in some periods of time, there are all bad performers.

Of course, the opening singer is naturally the one who performed well and easily ignited the atmosphere of the audience.For example, the No. 899 singer this time is Alexandra from the Cape Town Division. She directly sang many women to tears with a western gospel song "Hallelujah", which also made many male audiences feel a spiritual purification.For such an amazing song, the audience gave a super high score of 200 points.This also caused several three-star singers and two-star singers behind Alexandra to behave abnormally. The three-star singer barely let them finish the chorus, while the two-star singer was directly pressed. up.For the contestants who were suspended by the judges, the scores given by the audience were all below [-] points, and they were basically eliminated.

When Alexandra returned to the backstage with a high score of 899, everyone looked at her with more shock than jealousy.The contestants who can stand here are basically people who have an understanding of music majors. When Alexandra sang the high-pitched part, she had already pulled the microphone away, but her high-pitched voice was still so strong and piercing. , one can imagine how solid the basic skills of this female singer are.

And the audience is also knowledgeable. Although Alexandra's voice is perfect, it is definitely the effect of the audio equipment to produce this feeling of rushing towards the face like waves.A good sound system not only allows the audience to hear the sound of the instrument clearly, but also the singer's breathing and pharynx.Especially when the stereo effect is to the extreme, the guitar sound heard in different positions is different.Similarly, guitar sounds in different positions heard in the same position are also different.

"ATV not only used 4K cameras to record the scene, but also used panoramic sound effects. But the problem is that the current TV network only supports HD and stereo. Isn't this too wasteful?"

"Do you think it will be a waste?" The person next to him sneered, "Aside from broadcasting on the TV station, can't people sell Blu-ray discs? Although the TV station does not support 4K TV and panoramic sound for the time being, many people's TVs at home can It supports 4K TV and 7.1 sound channels, and some local tyrants even support panoramic sound. They are obviously going for these high-end users. Such Blu-ray discs don’t need to sell too much. The cost has been recovered. If one hundred thousand sets are broken, we will be able to celebrate."

At 55:50, the 3.22th singer had finished singing, and the host Xie Jingjing came on stage again.According to Nielsen's real-time monitoring data, the national ratings of today's program are as high as 3.12, and the ratings of selected markets are also [-].Such a result made Yaxing Production and the executives of Asia Broadcasting Corporation choose to open champagne to celebrate.

Due to the combined impact of terrestrial TV networks, free cable channels, and Internet TV stations, the ratings of variety shows have become increasingly weak. If the ratings of variety shows can reach 1 and the average ratings can break 2, then basically they can be broadcast in major TV stations. The channel is on its feet.And the ratings of "Asian Avenue of Stars Finals" directly broke 3, especially the ratings of the main audience group aged 15 to 45 were as high as 6.79, so many advertisers would rather increase the price to squeeze into this The airtime of the program.

To be continued...

The author has something to say: domestic ratings are mainly based on two data, CSM National Ratings and CSM Fifty Cities Ratings.

The national ratings are known to everyone, and the ratings of urban, rural and border areas across the country are calculated.

The ratings of fifty cities are the ratings of [-] cities with a high degree of commercial development.

Generally speaking, the ratings of Fifty Cities must be lower than the national ratings, because some areas may not be able to watch popular satellite TV stations.

For advertisers, the ratings in the [-] cities are the key, because the consumption level in these areas is relatively high.

In addition to fifty cities, there are so-called ratings of 35 cities, 27 cities and 25 cities.

The ratings of 35 cities are 31 provincial capital cities + 4 cities with independent planning.

The ratings of cities 27 and 25 don’t have much reference value, and with regard to the sample city standards of cities 25, Mango TV and Lychee TV are choking you to death.So these two ratings have basically been ignored.On the contrary, it is not as valuable as 35 cities.
