Chapter 322
Actually, it's not impossible for him to be a mentor, but his own "Crank" is set to be released next year, and besides that, "Harry Potter 7" is set to start filming, and "Transformers 2" is also set to start filming.
With a pile of these things, if he takes on another variety show, he might be too busy to handle it.
After pondering for a moment, Chen Mo roughly stated his plans for next year.
Afterwards, he said: "Sister Wang, I will be very busy next year; I won't be able to handle it."
Sister Wang frowned and began to ponder after hearing this.
At this time, Chen Fu said: "Leave 'Transformers 2' to Cameron to film. You know Cameron, ask him if he is interested."
"Uh, isn't it a bit inappropriate for our domestic film to find a foreign director? Besides, I still have to participate in it."
Chen Mo said.
Chen Fu said: "If we don't find someone from abroad, what should we do? Which of those domestic directors has the ability? Chen Kaige? Feng Gang? Or Zhang Yimou?"
Speaking of this, Chen Fu's expression became a bit strange.
Because he thought of the recent two films, "The Promise" and "Riding Alone for Thousands of Miles."
Wang Jinghua said at this time: "How about Director Li An?"
"Li An?"
Chen Mo was stunned for a moment, and then he began to ponder.
Actually, it's not impossible to let Li An film "Transformers." After all, in later generations, Li An is the director who filmed "Hulk." For this kind of big scene and big production film, there shouldn't be any problem.
As for the issue of him having to film, this problem is not hard to solve; when the time comes, just push his scenes to the end and film them all together.
Thinking of this, Chen Mo asked: "Even including me, we are still missing one mentor."
"Uh, actually there is one more spot, we wanted to invite Michael Jackson."
Wang Jinghua said.
Hearing Wang Jinghua's words, Chen Mo's expression suddenly became strange.
Good heavens!
Calling Michael Jackson over to be a mentor, is that even possible?
You really have quite an imagination!
However...
If Michael Jackson were really called over to be a mentor, it actually seems quite good!
At that time, why bother with "The Voice of China"? Just make it "The Voice of the World"!
Conduct selections globally and finally determine the strongest newcomer!
By then, this program wouldn't just be broadcast in China, but in every country around the world.
It's doable!
Chen Mo's eyes lit up!
"Wait for me a moment~."
Saying this to Wang Jinghua and Chen Fu, Chen Mo then picked up his phone and dialed Michael Jackson's number.
The call only went through after more than ten seconds, and then Michael Jackson's somewhat weary voice sounded.
"Chen Mo?"
Hearing Michael Jackson's voice, Chen Mo couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
All these years, Michael Jackson has been trapped in public opinion and unable to walk out. Every year, there are more than thirty accusations against him from the children he once supported.
Whether these accusations were true or false, when Michael Jackson passed away in 2009, one person who had once accused Michael finally chose to confess.
Afterwards, the truth was also made public to the world.
But so what?
The person has already passed away!
"Hey, Michael, I have a program here. How about coming over to play with me?"
Chen Mo took a deep breath and invited him with a smile.
Hearing Chen Mo's words, Michael Jackson on the other end of the phone fell silent.
After a few seconds, Michael Jackson laughed bitterly: "Chen Mo, you should know that my state recently is very poor."
Chen Mo smiled: "I know your state is very poor, so you need to come out and have a good time even more. Don't stay in the room alone. Come out and walk around. Join me in a program, a large-scale global program."
Michael Jackson's interest was piqued by Chen Mo, and he hesitated for two seconds before asking: "What program?"
"This program is called 'The Voice of the World'..."
Then Chen Mo explained the program content he had in mind.
Listening to Chen Mo's explanation, Chen Fu and Wang Jinghua, who were sitting on the side, were suddenly stunned.
Wasn't it agreed to be "The Voice of China"? How did it become "The Voice of the World"?
Global auditions?
Isn't that playing a bit too big?
What if it goes wrong?
Chen Fu and Wang Jinghua couldn't keep up with Chen Mo's train of thought.
However, Michael Jackson on the other end of the phone began to feel moved at this moment.
After Chen Mo finished speaking, Michael Jackson asked: "When does the program start?"
Chen Mo said: "Mid-next year. Actually, I originally wanted to make 'The Voice of China,' but with your participation, I decided to make it bigger, so global auditions will need at least half a year."
"Good, I'll join."
Michael Jackson agreed directly.
Hearing Michael Jackson's agreement, Chen Mo suddenly laughed.
Afterwards, the two chatted for a while longer, and finally, Chen Mo invited him: "When you have free time, you can come to our China to look around. The scenery in our country is quite good, very suitable for you to relax."
"Hmm, okay."
Michael Jackson nodded.
Afterwards, Chen Mo hung up the phone.
Putting down the phone, Chen Mo made an OK gesture to Chen Fu and Wang Jinghua and smiled: "Done."
Chen Fu and Wang Jinghua looked at each other, and then Chen Fu asked with a somewhat strange expression: "Mo Mo, how did a perfectly good 'Voice of China' become 'The Voice of the World'? You've taken such a big step; what if it fails?"
Wang Jinghua didn't speak, but just nodded and looked at Chen Mo.
Chen Mo smiled: "Dad, think about it. Me, Michael, my master, and Zhang Guorong—if the four of us make a national-level variety show, wouldn't it feel a bit like using a cannon to kill a mosquito?"
Chen Fu thought about it for a moment and then nodded.
It seems... it really does feel that way.
"Isn't that it? So, wouldn't it be better to make a program of a global nature?"
Chen Mo smiled.
Hearing Chen Mo's words, Chen Fu and Wang Jinghua began to think seriously.
As for the four mentors, looking at the current global music scene, the status of Mei Yanfang and Zhang Guorong actually doesn't compare to Chen Mo's current status.
These two are famous in Southeast Asia, but in North America, their fame is a bit lacking.
And Chen Mo can be counted as a top-tier singer both domestically and in North America!
Every album has reached tens of millions of copies, and the total has long exceeded one hundred million!
His popularity naturally goes without saying!
As for Michael Jackson, that goes even more without saying!
Although the public opinion about him has never stopped all these years, more and more people like him, and he has fans all over the world.
If Chen Mo is compared to the Jade Emperor of the Chinese music circle, then Michael Jackson is the Zeus of the North American music circle.
"It can be done!"
After pondering for a long time, Chen Fu suddenly said.
Although Wang Jinghua didn't speak, her eyes gradually became unusual.
"Then this matter needs to be planned well. If it's a global audition, how should we conduct the auditions? After all, there are too many people."
Chen Fu raised a question.
Chen Mo smiled: "Let those who want to sign up send videos of themselves singing to our email address. Find some people with good musical expertise to conduct primary auditions through the videos. After eliminating a batch of people, conduct online video singing auditions for the second round of auditions. Then, those who successfully advance will undergo a third round of offline assessments. Finally, those who pass can come to Jingcheng to participate in our program. We will reimburse the round-trip airfare at that time."
Listening to the audition method Chen Mo described, Wang Jinghua nodded and said: "I think this method is feasible."
"Alright, then let's do it this way!"
Chen Fu decided with a wave of his hand. ===== CHAPTER 324 =====
