Chapter 762: I Have an Idea in Its Infancy

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

“Tm the assistant director, Zhang Zhisheng,” said a young man younger than Shi Shulei.

“Tm the program’s chief planner, Liu Jingfu.” Liu Jingfu looked like she was in her thirties with her hair cut short and tied ina strict bun. From her looks alone, she appeared quite capable.

“Tm the program’s screenwriter, Fu Mengfei.”

Variety shows all had screenwriters, but it did not mean they prepared a fixed script.

Screenwriters had many tasks.

They had to design the program’s direction, the content of each episode, the host’s script, the program’s copywriting, the narration, etc.

For reality shows like these, their responsibilities were even greater.

They also had to design the game content, dramatic conflicts, program content, story structure, etc.

“Tm the executive director of the later stages, Yu Yangyi.”

At this moment, Xu Dashi and Yan Zhengxing entered the conference room together.

Seeing that everyone was standing together, Xu Dashi smiled and asked, “Everyone, have you all acquainted yourselves with one another?”

“T’ve just finished the introductions.”

“Alright then, let’s get down to business,” Xu Dashi said. With a smile, he continued, “There are many people in charge of the various parts of our program: the overall coordinator, each group’s person-in-charge, and three other screenwriters. The cameraman, lighting, props, editing, art, etc.”

“There are too many people, so I only invited the heads of each section.”

“The heads will be in charge of directing their teams. Therefore, you must understand your roles for the program to run smoothly,” Xu Dashi explained.

Shi Shulei smiled and said, “Previously, Mr Xu gave me a rough idea of the situation. It would be best if Teacher Tan Jinsheng could join our program.”

“Our program is tentatively called ‘I Sing’. However, Its name may change in the future. For now, we’ll call it ‘I Sing’,” Shi Shulei said, “Our team usually uses this name when discussing plans for the variety show.”

“Then let’s talk about the plan for our program so far. Teacher Tan, please see if it is to your satisfaction.” Shi Shulei was very polite in addressing Tan Jinsheng.

He did not look down on Tan Jinsheng even though he was still a rookie.

Tan Jinsheng knew why Shi Shulei was so polite. His song featured in ‘Broken Continent’ was a hit, dominating the music charts and elevating Kefeng Film’s fame in the industry. That, coupled with his astonishing popularity, had secured several new contracts for the firm, pulling in numerous talented

artists.

There was also Tan Jinqi’s current position in Kefeng Films.

There was also Tan Mo’s position as Kefeng Film’s future boss.

Above all, the last two reasons probably weighed things in his favour.

Still, Shi Shulei’s attitude was so different from Ge Guangzhen’s that it made him uncomfortable.

“T Sing’s’ will run a similar program as Singing Voice. ‘I Sing’ will invite professional artists to sing songs picked for them by their peers. They won’t sing their own songs.”

“The audience will then vote for their favourite singers. Once the votes exceed a certain number, the doors will open, and the singers will go on stage. If they do not meet the requisite number of votes, the artist will face elimination, and they won’t have a chance to show themselves.”

“Is this the version you guys are thinking of now?” Xu Dashi asked. “It is a little better than the previous version, but I still feel something is missing. It isn’t enough if we hope to challenge ‘The Voice’.”

Xu Dashi wore an expression that conveyed: “I feel like something is missing, but I can’t say what it is.”

Shi Shulei and the others regarded him in silence, unable to speak.

Tan Mo could not help but think that Shi Shulei and the others were scolding Xu Dashi behind his back.

Albeit, Tan Mo also felt that something was missing. The plan did not possess a ‘Wow! factor.

“have some thoughts on the matter, though I’m unsure if I should share my idea,” Tan Mo said.

If it were any other program, she would not get involved.

Since Kefeng Films had promised not to follow a preset script, it was more appropriate for Tan Jinsheng to participate.

He could take advantage of his recent popularity and strike while the iron was hot. He could also slap Ge Guangzhen in the face.

Tan Mo was more interested in the latter.

Hadn’t Ge Guangzhen despised Tan Jinsheng to the point that he felt that no other program but Singing Voice would have him?

She would show him how wrong he was!

‘Was there anyone who dared belittle or deny Tan Mo’s opinion in the country?

‘That was not even counting the success of ‘Broken Continent’.

As the future boss of the enterprise, was there anyone in the room unwilling to listen to Tan Mo’s suggestion? Of course not!

‘Whether Tan Mo’s suggestion was was good or not, they would have to listen.

At the very least, they could still discuss things amicably if they had misgivings about her suggestion.

They could not look down on her.

Just look at what happened in the past.

Manager Liang had resigned, and Managers Xu and Wang were now turtles cowering in their shells.

The overly cautious manner of their words and actions made people’s hearts ache.

They would be fools not to take Tan Mo seriously.

Their future boss was quite lethal.

“Please speak,” Shi Shulei said hurriedly.

“...”‘Tan Mo laughed dryly, feeling a little embarrassed. “I’m the youngest in this room, so there’s no need to be so formal. Please treat me as you would a colleague; there’s no need to be overly polite.”

Hearing Tan Mo’s words, everyone had an expression that said: “The future boss is so humble, so admirable.”

Although Tan Mo could not see through everyone’s expressions and what they were thinking, her face froze when she saw them looking at her with admiration.

What exactly were these people thinking?

‘Tan Mo did not beat about the bush and merely said, “I just heard Mr Xu’s opinion, and I agree with him. Something is missing, though I might have an idea. Please take a look at this. It might provide everyone with some inspiration.”

“Okay, okay.” Everyone nodded repeatedly.

Xu Dashi and Yan Zhengxing looked at her with their heads in their hands.

It was as if they were awaiting a torrent of comments.

“...”‘Tan Mo decided to ignore those two.

Why did she not realize how Xu Dashi and Yan Zhengxing... had a bit of a dumb recessive gene.

“Votes cast by the live audience are too opaque,” Tan Mo hurriedly explained, “I’m not saying we shouldn’t do it. It’s just that there are a lot of netizens who know about it and don’t trust the integrity of such votes.”

“I did the viewership rating table for every season and episode of Singing Voice last night.” Tan Mo took out a tablet from her bag and placed it on the table.

“Wait a moment,” Liu Jingfu said. “I didn’t expect you to...”

Thinking of Tan Mo’s words, Liu Jingfu changed her words again. “I didn’t expect such a high level of preparation. Our efforts seem crude by comparison... Please hold on. Let me put this up on the screen.”

‘There was a projector in the conference room. No one had used it in a long time.

Therefore, there was no need to adjust the lens upon turning it on.

Fu Mengfei pressed the remote control and lowered the screen.

‘Tan Mo followed the instructions and put her table under the projector.

It certainly was more convenient for everyone to look at the data she had compiled together.

Tan Mo pulled out the chart. “When the first season of Singing Voice came out, it was quite amazing, and the viewership ratings have been on the rise. The first season’s viewership rating was around 0.89%..”
