After the success of "Legend of Sound Dreams", Wang Zulan, who had only been officially returning to the nest in March for half a year, amplified the move to cooperate with Mango TV and serve as a producer. Everyone knows that Wang Zulan once worked as a singer and also made records, and since he was a child, he likes to sing or even surpass his performance, and this time he can create this heavyweight music program, which is also a realization of his dream.
At Mango TV's 2022 Chamber of Commerce, 3 music competition programs were announced, in addition to "Sister Lang 3" and "Phi Ge 2" are already blockbuster programs, there is also a new program that has also attracted much attention. This is the first time that Mango TV and TVB have jointly created "Sound and Endless".
Wang Zulan himself did not appear at the China Merchants Association, but revealed 3 heavyweight guests in the form of video connection. The first is "the one who needs Viagra to be invited, who has a great status in the Hong Kong music scene and holds up half the sky." From his words, everyone speculates that it is jacky Cheung, the god of song, that he and Zeng Zhiwei have a very good relationship, and the Hong Kong Sisters Finals are also because Zeng Zhiwei came as a performing guest.
The second guest, Wang Zulan, revealed that he was "the immortal who has not been out of the mountain for a long time, and his interest is also very strong." It's hard to guess who to choose. The third guest, Wang Zulan, described it as "Iron Lung Queen", and said that he took the initiative to contact to participate. Some netizens speculated that it was Zhen Ni. Wang Zulan stressed that they were all connected, indicating that they had all been invited, and they were all at the level of the God of Song.
Wang Zulan is worthy of being an artist who has understood the essence of variety shows, not only playing dumb puzzles to satisfy everyone's interest, but also saying that he is very serious and not joking. Wang Zulan stressed that he would definitely invite singers who audiences from both places were very eager to see.
If Jacky Cheung can participate this time, it will be his debut in a mainland variety show, and it is no wonder that whether he joins or not is considered the key to this show.
Because of this show, everyone found that Wang Zulan can also become a producer in addition to being an artist, in fact, this year's "Good Voice" and "Daily Mother's Voice" that he is responsible for have received good responses.
At the China Merchants Association, he used his unique light humor to express his original intention to do this show, as the chief creative officer, he wanted to launch this long-planned show on the occasion of the 25th anniversary of Hong Kong's return to the motherland, I believe that the audience will feel his intentions.
Looking at the program form of "Endless Sound", it is a singing program with the "Hong Kong Music Golden Song" as the musical content, created by the original team of "I Am a Singer", aiming to use the classic melody to adapt and create a new era of expression and promote cross-strait exchanges between the moon and the moon. Through the promotion of Hong Kong Cantonese golden songs, discover more potential singers. Everyone is curious if this show can surpass "I Am a Singer".
As can be seen in the investment planning book, the program will set up a group of planners, 1 host, 6 fixed judges and several legendary mentors, and also invite the new generation of singers who love Hong Kong music from the two places to participate in the competition, and set a fixed theme in each round, so as to select a strong singer with appeal and appeal.
From this introduction, it can be seen that the original intention of this program is to close the musical exchange between the two places, Hong Kong music is the carrier, and exploring the strength of singing will be the ultimate goal. This coincides with TVB's invitation to Wang Zulan as chief creative officer – assisting Zeng Zhiwei in the development of his business in variety shows and infotainment content.
TVB's appointment letter affirmed Wang Zulan's achievements in mainland Taiwan network variety shows and e-commerce platforms in recent years, and stressed that after joining the Group, he will promote the development of cross-platform channels, integrate his experience in new media in the mainland, and increase the Group's business opportunities in the mainland and the Greater Bay Area.
The reason why TVB brought in Zeng Zhiwei and Wang Zulan is not only because of their ability, but also because of their experience in program production and the good cooperative relationship that has been established between Wang Zulan and the mainland platform, which will help to expand its business in the mainland market for TVB, which has been declining for many years.
TVB's hope for Wang Zulan is not only to carry out internal reforms, but also to achieve breakthroughs externally, not only to defend Hong Kong locally, but also to broaden the broader market of the mainland. As Zeng Zhiwei said, Xu Tao, chairman of the group, has never asked for throttling, and the most important thing they have to do is open source.
Although Wang Zulan was regarded as Zeng Zhiwei's apprentice and successor, he was not optimistic about being invited to be the chief creative officer at the beginning, and he was also said that the creative officer was actually a hot potato. Wang Zulan said that he also felt a lot of pressure to take this job, but he still wanted to come back and serve the platform where he had worked. So, why did Wang Zulan give up the high-income return to the nest to take this chore?
Wang Zulan went from being an unknown children's program host to a member of the "Prize Gate Man", thanks to Bole Zeng Zhiwei. At that time, Zeng Zhiwei's side of the award elder recommended Wang Zulan, and he had this opportunity. Zeng Guoxiang also knew that Zeng Zhiwei admired Wang Zulan, saying that he was his successor, "a look of pride in having such a son, I don't think he has looked at me like this." ”
Wang Zulan, who already has a studio in the mainland, has also reached the age of forty. He said that Zeng Zhiwei trained himself and wanted to train the next generation. He felt that finding a successor was more important than continuing to work on his own.
Zeng Zhiwei passed on his experience in production, directing and screenwriting to Wang Zulan when collaborating on Lunar New Year films such as "72 Tenants", and the two of them also opened an entertainment company together. Seeing tvb going downhill, he wanted to help the platform and pass on the experience.
Before choosing to go from Hong Kong to the mainland, it was to participate in the "Changeable Big Coffee Show". If he had given up on this opportunity, he might have become the creator behind the movie, because he was writing the script for the TV series for TVB at the time.
He is not sure if he can make achievements when he chooses to return to the nest now, but he will summarize the experience he has accumulated in dozens of variety shows and form basic training to cultivate talents for TVB.
In addition to cooperating with Mango TV, he revealed that TVB will cooperate with many mainland variety shows, which can also allow TVB artists to appear on camera and strive for more job opportunities. Zeng Zhiwei stressed that co-production dramas and co-production variety shows will be added in the future, and also revealed that the filming of "Infinite Road" is to hope that Hong Kong young people will truly understand the mainland and pass on correct information and positive energy to them.
Wang Zulan is a pioneer among artists in the field of e-commerce, and facts have proved that he has taken this step with foresight. In August, Haixi Media, of which he is a co-founder, announced its establishment in Guangzhou. Wang Zulan can make full use of his brand resources to create a cloud star live broadcast in the Greater Bay Area, which is a matter of existing commercial value.
As for the idea of the program, he was questioned by the eldest sister Wang Mingquan. When he first proposed to plan "Good Voice and Good Drama", he was asked by Sister A what to see. Although Wang Zulan will stutter in the face of Sister A, in the end he proved his choice with strength, and also made himself who was not optimistic at first, but also became a fragrant feast.
Zeng Zhiwei said in an interview that Wang Zulan sacrificed a lot in order to return to TVB, and he wanted to push away variety shows and film and television works after 10 years of development in the mainland, and some netizens estimated that they would lose at least 100 million. From the perspective of Wang Zulan's national popularity, even if there is no 100 million, tens of millions of losses must be there, and he also said that because he was too busy for a long time, his daughter called others daddy.
Self-revealed is the daughter of Wang Zulan, because she is too busy working at TVB to have time to accompany her children. He once said that after the birth of his eldest daughter, he kissed his daughter more than his wife every day, and when the eldest daughter was less than 2 years old, he would prepare a celebration ceremony for his daughter every month.
Wang Zulan said that his job is to serve the family, and his father is his favorite identity, and he most hopes to be a full-time father one day.
As can be seen in the financial report at the beginning of 2021, TVB's performance in 2020 is very poor. In 2021, it has been greatly improved because of the joining of the two masters and apprentices. According to Hong Kong media reports, TVB's total revenue in the first half of the year rose by 2%, advertising revenue rose by 31%, and the loss amount was further narrowed. This is definitely good news for TVB.
Whether Wang Zulan will take Zeng Zhiwei's class is not certain. Wang Zulan herself has companies in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Hong Kong, and has a certain foundation, these experiences can also be used in management, he and Zhang Shaogang are the co-founders of Haixi Media, Gong Jun, Chen Ruoxuan and other traffic small fresh meat is also its artists.
It can be seen from this that Wang Zulan not only has the experience of being an artist, but also has the strength to manage the company. If he can smoothly become Zeng Zhiwei's successor, it will definitely be beneficial for TVB. However, taking over Zeng Zhiwei's job also means continuing to lose his income in the mainland market, and he himself has said that the mainland makes a lot more money than Hong Kong, is he willing to give up?
In 2013, Wang Zulan, who opened up the mainland market because of the "Hundred Changes Big Coffee Show", said that he did not do things to make money, or he could shoot more mainland TV dramas. He said that he likes to create, which is why he joined the "Big Coffee Show". Wang Zulan said that creation is his own heavenly ability, which is why there is "Sound and Endless".
If it were not for the quarrel with his girlfriend, Wang Zulan would not have missed the singing major of the Hong Kong Academy of Performing Arts at that time, because singing was his lifelong pursuit. This time, he will definitely be able to use his love for singing career and his talent in this new show.
Zeng Zhiwei stressed that his goal is to cultivate young people for TVB, so that they can have an independent side, as long as the task is completed, they will leave TVB and will not dominate the position of general manager. Wang Zulan also said that he has no interest in power, because he is an artist and only hopes to come up with good works. This also shows that he will still return to his old business and may not always be in the management of TVB.
In the return theme variety show planned by Wang Zulan, in addition to this one, there are also movies and television related, and everyone can look forward to it.
