Melody Journey is an original Chinese reality show jointly produced by Jiangsu TV and iQiyi. The first episode aired simultaneously on both platforms on August 18, 2024.[1] The program aims to match singers with songwriters in order to promote and showcase original songs.
Show format
[edit]Basic premise
[edit]Each episode features 5-8 original songs by songwriters, who perform their demos to a group of singers. Singers, each with six CDs as tokens, then visit songwriters' rooms during the conversation stage to express their interest in the songs via giving the songwriters CDs. Singers may give more than one CD to indicate higher level of interest. Based on the CDs received, songwriters select the singer who best suits their song.
After matching, the singer works with the songwriter to finalize the song before the performance stage at MGM Cotai.[2]
"Burst light" option
[edit]Singers can claim a song via the "burst light" option, adapted from the dating show If You Are the One. When the "burst light" time window is announced, singers race to the "burst light" podium and press the numbered light corresponding to the songwriter's room of the song they wish to claim.[3]
During the performance stage, both the matched version and the "burst light" version of the song are performed. The audience votes between the two to determine if the "burst light" version has successfully challenged the matched version. If successful, both versions will be released on QQ Music and KuGou Music at the same time. If unsuccessful, the "burst light" version will be released 24 hours after the matched version.
"Burst light" rule per episode:
- Episode 1-2: Each singer may only use this option once and each song can only be claimed once.
- Episodes 3, 7, 9: Each singer may only use this option once and only two songs can be claimed.
- Episode 4: Up to four songs can be claimed, two during the demo stage and two during the regular time window.
- Episodes 5-6: Each singer only has one "burst light" chance in these episodes.
- Episodes 8: No "burst light" option available.
- Episodes 10: Only one "burst light" option available.
Possible outcome variations
[edit]Because of the "burst light option," there are several different possible outcomes for a song:
- Song is matched to a singer with no "burst light" claim; one performance stage.
- Song is matched to a singer with "burst light" claim by another singer; two performance stages, audience votes.
- Song is matched to a singer and claimed by same singer via "burst light"; one performance stage, no audience votes.
- Song is not matched to a singer and is only claimed via "burst light"; one performance stage, no audience votes.
- Song is not matched to a singer and is not claimed via "burst light"; no performance stage, considered a "passed" song.
Song with most potential
[edit]Each episode, Jiangsu TV's AIGC determines the song with the most potential based on current trends, listeners demographic, and genre of music.
