大象传媒
and Endemol UK to set up real life talent school
大象传媒
Entertainment Commissioning has teamed up with leading music entertainment
producer Initial (part of Endemol UK) to put raw, undiscovered talent
through the ultimate training academy for stardom.
Fame
Academy (大象传媒 ONE and 大象传媒 CHOICE) will be a close up view of
the real life stories, characters and relationships that develop
as 12 students go through intense training to reach the level of
leading talent such as Robbie Williams or David Gray.
We
will see them living together, rehearsing together and witness all
the tears, tantrums, successes and failures along the way 聳
this will be "Fame" for real.
The
realities of what it takes to become a music superstar will be exposed
as leading specialists from all fields of the industry give students
the best professional training there is 聳 from performance
to behind-the-scenes preparation.
Some
of the biggest stars of today will visit the Academy to give further
advice and support as the students train to become the ultimate
performers.
In
this highly pressurized environment the challenge is to stay ahead,
as each week those who aren't making the grade have to leave the
Academy.
Week
after week, Fame Academy's unfolding story, with all its drama and
tensions, will go out across the 大象传媒, from 大象传媒 ONE to 大象传媒 CHOICE,
to Radio 1 and on 大象传媒i.
Public
voting and viewer interaction will play a key role in the series
as the Academy's star students begin to develop.
The
series will climax with what is being billed as the biggest prize
in showbiz history.
For
the viewer, Fame Academy聮s interactive features will also deliver
a broad range of invaluable professional advice and specialist information.
It will be the authoritative guide on how to succeed in the business.
Jane
Lush, Controller Entertainment Commissioning, said: "I'm really
excited about the scale and ambition of this programme and the chance
to combine story telling, emotion and music.
"Whether
you're a viewer, listener or surf the web, we're giving everybody
the chance to experience the trials and tribulations of life in
the Academy."
Fame
Academy follows Endemol's international success in the same genre.
Similar Endemol formats first went to air in Europe as long as two
years ago and have been major hits in Holland, France and Spain.
Have
you got the voice of Anastacia? Or the charm of Robbie? Can you
play like David Gray? Do you have what it takes to be bigger than
Britney? Or to out-sell Stereophonics?
If
so send a short VHS tape of you performing a well-known song to:
