It was obvious that Junjie had asked Yicheng to ask for her opinion because he had the intention to agree to the collaboration with “Superpower 1 to 1.”
Jiang Xun found it strange. “The popularity and views of ‘Blazing Talents!’ far exceeds that of ‘Superpower 1 to 1.’ Jiang Litao’s intention to collaborate with ‘Blazing Talents!’ is obviously to capitalize on its popularity. Why would Director Ji agree to this?”
Junjie personally answered Jiang Xun’s question when the three of them met.
“Although the popularity of ‘Superpower t01’ is nowhere near as high as ‘Blazing Talents! ,’ They have already completed four seasons. Up until now, there hadn’t been much change in the competition format and program format,” Junjie explained. “Actually, it’s not that we don’t want to innovate, but there are too many examples from the past. Many classic programs had lost more viewers because of the sudden change in the original format of the classic competition, but they did not attract new viewers. After all, there’s a limit to the number of people who likes to watch a certain type of program. The audience who don’t like to watch such shows won’t come to watch it no matter how innovative it is. And those who initially liked the show for its original format might be alienated by sudden changes in the name of innovation.”
“Our production team has specially done research in this area,” Junjie said. “As long as a show makes a name for itself in the first season and have its own classic rules, by the second and third seasons, its popularity and views won’t be as good as the first season. In fact, it may even be far worse. The programs that started to seek breakthroughs and innovation ended up the same. There was no exception. The results after broadcasting were not as good as before. Although it was inevitable that the results would get worse with each season, those that attempted radical innovations had ridiculously poor results. It’s obvious that it was because of the so-called problem of innovation.”
“At the same time, we also checked the feedback from the audience. The audience’s true evaluation is that the innovation is actually not very effective. It’s not that creativity is impossible, but that ineffective innovation didn’t make the show more enjoyable for the audience. So, until we find a new approach that guarantees audience engagement, we’re hesitant to innovate randomly. However, this also risks audience fatigue. Every year, other than different mentors bringing up some topics and the audience watching, there’s not much else happening. This time, the greatest popularity of our show was thanks to you. However, as a mentor, you won’t be performing on stage every time. The main point of this program is still the performance and competition of the students. However, this format also faces the challenge of sustainability.”
“So when Jiang Litao came to me, I considered agreeing to cooperate. Even though this cooperation is obviously more beneficial to ‘Superpower 1 to 1,’ it’s still beneficial to our ‘Blazing Talents!’ It’s just the right time to give the audience a sense of novelty when the their aesthetic sense is starting to feel fatigued.”
“That’s why I don’t mind that ‘Superpower 1 to 1’ will benefit more from this collaboration. Our show is more popular than theirs, so the room for improvement is not as big as theirs. As long as it is beneficial to the show, regardless of the scale,” Junjie said. “That’s why I’m willing to collaborate with them. But before I agree, I still want to ask for your opinion. After all, they have Su Youlan on their side.”
“I don’t mind, ” Jiang Xun smiled and said. “Anyway, every time it’s Su Youlan who finds trouble, and every time she loses. The reason why I was angry about the show ‘In Position, Shoot’ was because they deliberately hid it from me. But even so, I’ve cooperated with what was necessary. In the end, I flipped the table because the judges were unfair.”
Jiang Xun felt that she still had to explain. To prevent Junjie from misunderstanding.
She wasn’t that overbearing.
“I understand,” Junjie smiled and said, “That’s why I’m asking for your opinion first to prevent any misunderstandings between us. It’s not just me, but also Shi Shulei and Hou Guanglin. We’ve all had pleasant collaborations, and I don’t want some small issue to cause unpleasantness between us.”
Jiang Xun nodded. “I’m fine with it.”
“When I talked to Jiang Jiang about this, she said that even if Jiang Yuexi was in ‘Superpower I to I,’ she would be fine,” Yicheng said with a smile..
