Chapter 641: Coaches invited to join!

Translator: Legge Editor: Legge

Midday.

At a famous tripe shop in the city, Zhang Ye was wearing his sunglasses while Wu Mo was in his suit as the two of them walked out from the restaurant with their hands rubbing their bellies.

Wu Mo laughed and said, "We've just sealed a 100 million RMB deal and yet we only had 45 RMB worth of tripe and flatbread for lunch?"

"Isn't it better to have what you love to eat rather than what is good to eat?" Zhang Ye commented, feeling satisfied by the meal.

"Now that's true." Wu Mo remarked, "This is exactly what I love eating."

Zhang Ye said, "Alright then, when I get back later, I will get someone to prepare the contract and send it over."

Wu Mo opened his car door. "Sure, let's go then. Do you need me to send you back?"

Zhang Ye waved him off. "I won't bother you, I still have some work to handle. This title sponsorship fee has given me some pressure now, so I will need to quickly settle the program's guest coaches and invite a few big shots over or else the show can't be carried. Only then will it do justice to your 100 million RMB title sponsorship fee."

Wu Mo said just before he left, "Then I'll leave the advertisement copy to you as well?"

"No problem." Zhang Ye agreed immediately. "I'll get it done before the recording of the show. At that time, all you need to do is to add a slogan placement like 'Drink Brain Gold, Support The Voice!' in your advertisements. We will do a cross promotion of the product and the show, but let's talk about the details at a later date."

Wu Mo said, "OK then."

To know where a new program ranked, the most practical way to assess it was to take a look at the investment amount.

If 10 million was invested? Then it was just a normal-sized production.

If 20 million was invested? It should be a mid-sized production.

If 30 or 40 million was invested? Then it would be a large-scale production.

But if the investment was over 100 million? Then surely it would be called a mega-scale production! In this world, much less singing talent shows, even other types of variety shows that had 100 million RMB in investments were unheard of. No television stations dared to play it so big and no teams would risk such an amount of money. After all, the common figure for title sponsorship fees were around the region of 10 to 20 million RMB. Any higher than that and the investment sum would not be earned back at all as the return on investment was not proportional. So for any television programs that had an investment of 30 to 40 million RMB, they would already be considered as having a large production budget.

But as Zhang Ye was going for broke this time, he knew that the production costs for The Voice would not be any less than 80 million RMB. Now that the title sponsor was settled, Zhang Ye anticipated the final product even more. He was prepared to spend all of the 120 million RMB budget so that the program would not fall short. He was going to place everything he had into it to create a mega-scale singing talent show!

Equipment? They must be the top-tier ones!

The stage? It must have the best design!

Promotions? They needed the best time slots!

Contestants? They would be given the best treatment and accommodations!

As for the guest coaches...they had to be the most elite in the industry, of course!
