The mantis catches the cicada, the oriole is behind.

When CBS TV announced that it was about to launch the "Voice of America" ​​with Eleven Studios, the entire draft market was changing, showing a chaotic situation in the world, and people's speculations abounded.

Judging from CBS TV's description of "Voice of America", first of all, the competition system of this show is absolutely novel, and it is a talent show that is far different from "American Idol" and "X Factor". It will go back to its roots and sing! That's the true meaning of this show."

In fact, the entertainment components of "American Idol" and "X Factor" are very large. The selection is "Idol". Of course, singing ability is important. Appearance, packaging, and stage are indispensable. The main purpose is to launch a singer completely, so It was said before that on "American Idol", the champion is not necessarily the one who sings the best, but the one with the best overall strength, or the most popular one. The "Voice of America" ​​is essential for entertainment, but the emphasis on singing ability will be infinitely amplified. This is definitely a good news for those who like to sing but lack in appearance or overall strength.

In fact, "Voice of America" ​​can vaguely see Evan Bell's personal attitude towards life. Evan Bell has always been works-oriented towards music, throwing away all the fancy things and focusing all his attention on the works. above. This attitude is recognized by many professional musicians and has a very broad market among audiences.

So, from this point of view, the "Voice of America" ​​is indeed unique, and will be differentiated from "American Idol," and "The X Factor" to a subtle extent. "American Idol" attaches importance to popularity and entertainment; "X Factor" attaches importance to star characteristics, and "Voice of America" ​​focuses on strength. From this perspective, the basic audiences of "American Idol" and "X Factor" will overlap and contestants will compete with each other; "Voice of America" ​​is slightly different. Maybe the difference is not big, but the effect is definitely not small.

In addition, the form and competition system of "X Factor" are already familiar to the audience, and the promotion is easy, but the lack of freshness will also be a problem; and the mystery and freshness of "Voice of America" ​​will be challenging at the beginning of the broadcast. People are familiar with the inertia of the format of "American Idol", but it also attracts a lot of curiosity.

After comprehensive consideration, the emergence of "Voice of America" ​​can definitely be said to be a strong opponent.

The "X Factor" award is a $5 million record deal with Universal Music; the "Voice of America" ​​award is much more discreet, with a $1 million bonus and a Warner Music record deal.

As we all know, the record contract of "American Idol" is in the hands of Eleven Studios, but most of them are signed to Warner Records, and this time the record contract of "The Voice of America" ​​was directly signed to Warner Records and Warner Records The good relationship between the record and Eleven Studio, coupled with the "Voice of America" ​​itself is the cooperation between CBS TV and Eleven Studio, this really makes the "Voice of America" ​​particularly high momentum.

Originally, everyone thought that the confrontation between "X Factor" and "American Idol" was exciting enough, but now adding "Voice of America" ​​is not only exciting, but also a kind of chaos.

In this game of chess, the TV stations that stay out of the way are wise to protect themselves. We don't know for the time being about the future development. Whether they will regret missing the talent show, we can only wait for time to tell.

The TV station suffered a heavy loss this time. Even if the TV station is doing all the calculations, they would never have thought that Evan-Bell still had a hand, and this hand would actually become a weapon in the hands of CBS TV station, giving him a ruthless knife, which made the TV station completely dumbfounded.

The original "X Factor" attracted the attention of the "Voice of America" ​​almost instantly, and these two new programs will be broadcast in the Z fierce year, although the current "X Factor" schedule is 2009 In January of this year, while the "Voice of America" ​​is set for April 2009, there will be no head-to-head confrontation, but in the pull of the audition market, it will have an impact. This head-to-head competition has cost stations nearly all of their expected advantages.

More importantly, the TV station bought the US copyright of "X Factor" with the front foot, thinking that it had seized the advantage, but now it has been smashed by Eleven Studio. I have to say that it is very aggrieved. After this battle, the TV station and the Eleventh Studio were truly torn apart.

Let's look at the internal situation of the opposing alliance. The TV station and Universal Music have joined forces. On the contrary, the relationship between Disney and Eleven Studios has been repaired. In addition, Universal Pictures has also begun to waver. The relationship within the opposing alliance is very tense. In fact, it can be Said to be dead.

In addition, Fox TV, which has been hit the hardest this time, has "American Idol" in a stalemate. But in retrospect, Fox TV actually took advantage of it, and Simon Cowell's departure was at a disadvantage. weakened a lot.

A competitor is also a war, and two competitors are also a war. On the contrary, the situation of three-legged confrontation will easily allow "American Idol" to gain the upper hand. The two new programs of "Sound" are bound to have internal friction, which allows "American Idol" to fully reap the benefits of a fisherman.

In addition, "Voice of America" ​​and "American Idol" both learned from Evan Bell, don't forget that "X Factor" was bought out and will be produced by the TV station itself, while "American Idol" is produced by Eleven Studios , Fremantle Media, and Fox Television were produced together, and "The Voice of America" ​​was jointly produced by Eleven Studios and CBS Television. In addition to the common point of the record contract of Warner Records, the "Voice of America" ​​and "The Voice of America" ​​were completely American Idol" has the possibility to join forces.

There is also a factor that cannot be ignored. "American Idol" and "X Factor" fought in the arena at the same time in January, and "The Voice of America" ​​started broadcasting in April, almost avoiding the main battlefield. This can be regarded as a step for Fox TV.

Although it is said that Eleven Studio has opened two powerful competitors, "X Factor" and "Voice of America", and the relationship between Fox TV and Eleven Studio has not been good for the past six months, but there are In a situation where there are tigers after wolves, even if Fox TV complained about Eleven Studio for complaining about Evan Bell, it hated the TV station that poached Simon Cowell, so Fox TV was more close to Eleven Studio. some.

Of course, Fox TV can also make a calculation in their own mind. Eleven Studio has so generously let go of the two singing talent shows. In addition, in the past year, "Mad Men," "Breaking Bad," "The emergence of many excellent works such as "The Big Bang Theory", compare the current dismal status of "Prison Break" - Evan Bell's original comments on the script revision are still on the desks of Fox TV executives, so Fox obviously knows that it's definitely beneficial to be close to Eleven.

As for CBS TV, it is definitely the biggest beneficiary of this fierce competition. The post-production of "Voice of America" ​​has allowed them to successfully win the attention of the whole United States. Attraction is very effective.

CBS TV spent 40 million US dollars to buy the exclusive US copyright of "Voice of America". This price is actually on the same level as the "X factor", but it is only a cooperation agreement. After that, Eleven Studio will still pay dividends. of. However, it was very refreshing for CBS TV to sign this agreement. "Voice of America" ​​is jointly produced by the production team of Eleven Studios and CBS TV. Whether it is just this program or in the long run, CBS TV can't be more cost-effective.

In addition, CBS TV has signed a third TV series with Eleven Studio after "Navy Crime Investigation Service," "Sit and Live Big Bang", "Super Sense Detective," which also makes CBS TV even more determined. The determination to cooperate with Eleven Studio.

The story of "Supernatural Detective" tells that Patrick Jane has published articles about supernatural sensations in the media for a long time in the past, and has been a guest on TV talk shows. He is a very famous "psychic". However, this semi-celebrity, because of his arrogance, publicly mocked a serial killer on TV for his incompetence. As a result, he angered the serial killer and killed his wife and daughter. After suffering the blow, Patrick Jane directly quit the previous circle, admitting that his so-called supernatural ability was purely a deceit to fool people - it's just that his power of observation and perception is better than others. Later, Patrick Yijian entered the California Bureau of Investigation as an independent consultant, and used his keen observation to help solve many difficult unsolved cases At the same time, in order to track down the serial killers who killed his wife and daughter.

In this series, CBS TV decided to sign the contract after just reading the script. From this, it can be seen that Nancy and Trim trust Eleven Studios. Of course, the effect of "Voice of America" ​​can only be known after it airs next year, but at least for now, CBS TV station has firmly occupied the absolute advantage.

I have to say that Evan Bell played a good game this time, with "X Factor" in front and "Voice of America" ​​in the back. First of all, the little trust left after the internal tossing of the opposing alliance was all wiped out. Although it is impossible for the gourd network to be destroyed, and the opposing alliance will not really be wiped out, but the advantage of Yоutube has indeed been stabilized.

The confrontation with TV stations and Universal Music is expected. Disney's friendship and the softening of Universal Pictures can be said to be additional gains. The friendly attitude of Fox TV even made Evan Bell completely unexpected.

"American Idol" is still on the air, but the entire U.S. talent show market has turned upside down, and people can't wait to see the head-to-head collision of the three singing talent shows next year. In the end, is "American Idol" still the dominant one, and the two competitors are vulnerable; or will a new king be born; or will it be a three-legged confrontation that will not yield to each other?

Of course, the broadcast of the show is still next year, at least now that the judges of Geng's election show have ignited people's interest.
