Behind the scenes of the entertainment industry

As amateurs, we usually sing a song. No matter whether the melody is right or the lyrics are wrong, as long as we can sing it and the emotions are in place, we can all say that we have learned it and dare to show off our singing voice in KTV.

But participating in professional competition performances is different.

Even though "Avenue of Stars" claims to be a stage for the common people, with no threshold or distance, and most of the people invited are non-music professionals from the entertainment industry as judges, you still cannot deny that it is essentially a song category.

Singing competition.

Song singing competitions ultimately test a singer's musical literacy. And on a nationally popular program like "Avenue of Stars", singers need to demonstrate their musical literacy to a national audience.

Lin Shan had already suffered a loss once. At that time, he rushed into the "Young Singer Championship" and was eventually eliminated in the preliminary round. But Zhou Cheng in "Avenue of Stars" rushed to win the weekly championship and had higher requirements for Lin Shan. So.

Zhou Chengcai asked him to stop all commercial performances and spend ten days to perfectly master this song, which was completely different from his previous songs.

Fortunately, after Lin Shan lost the competition last year, Zhou Cheng found him a professional teacher for training. With Feng Chong's careful guidance, Lin Shan still completed the task well. Zhou Cheng only expressed satisfaction after repeated listening and confirmation by Feng Chong.

"You are the songwriter of this song. You wrote this song based on your own feelings. Don't let it slip."

On July 26, on the way to the CCTV studio, Zhou Cheng once again warned Lin Shan.

Although if the copyright of such a song was sold, it would probably sell for 50,000 to 100,000 yuan. If Zhou Cheng was more famous, he might be able to sell it for more than 100,000 yuan. But Zhou Cheng still did not hesitate to sell its author to

Registered as Lin Shan. Because he is a singer-songwriter, he is even more appreciated by the judges of "Avenue of Stars".

And Zhou Cheng knows that the pattern of life must be big. I believe that when Lin Shan becomes famous, the benefits he will bring will definitely exceed this amount.

Seeing Lin Shan's slightly reluctant expression, Zhou Cheng warned again: "And this is the CCTV stage, so you must not make a mistake. If you haven't grasped this opportunity, don't think about becoming famous in the future."

It’s about that.”

"Brother Cheng, Lin Shan won't do it." Fang Qianqian, who also came here, helped Lin Shan make a promise: "He has been contacting very hard these days just for this opportunity. Dashan will definitely seize this opportunity."

Fang Qianqian held Lin Shan's hand slightly, reminding Lin Shan that he also understood that this was his last chance. Seeing Zhou Cheng's serious expression, he knew that he was waiting for his statement, and hurriedly said: "Brother Cheng, I

I will definitely try my best this time and won’t let you down.”

"That's good." Zhou Cheng finally smiled and continued to give him instructions: "Be sure to remember what I taught you these two days. We basically simulated the questions that Teacher Bi asked you when interviewing you. You can be more reserved.

, and his expression should be a little more melancholy.”

These questions are the answers that Zhou Cheng summarized after watching "Avenue of Stars" repeatedly in the past few days. They include what kind of questions Teacher Bi asked, what tone and wording Lin Shan should use to answer, Zhou Cheng all

Print it out and ask Lin Shan to memorize it.

Although Shen Chuan helped with the matter, Zhou Cheng still hoped that everything would be foolproof. However, Zhou Cheng was worried that Lin Shan had not studied acting and there would be another difference in his demeanor, so he made a special explanation.

Lin Shan nodded. In fact, there is no need for Zhou Cheng to explain this. Lin Shan is very experienced. When he was in the bar, he relied on his melancholy performance to attract the likes of many customers, especially some girls who considered themselves to be petty bourgeoisie. The obsession with him is unnecessary.

Zhou Cheng also hopes to take advantage of this program to establish a "melancholic prince" character for Lin Shan. In order to promote Lin Shan's fame this time, Zhou Cheng is also planning to spend money to buy online trolls on the day of the broadcast to cooperate with the distribution on the Internet platform. This song made him popular in one fell swoop.

Zhou Cheng continued to explain to him: "I checked and filled in the gaps last night. I wonder if Teacher Bi will ask you about your mood after participating in the last competition. After all, you were almost in the finals. If you really ask this question, In terms of issues, you must express that you have no regrets about challenging Chen Haoming. You must also express your sincerity about losing to him. The opponent is currently popular, and you can also gain some popularity. In addition, you can express that you have been doing this for a while. I have been working hard, so I created this song. Your attitude is just like the song you sang, living hard."

"Brother Cheng, are you worried that Dashan will show dissatisfaction on the stage?" Fang Qianqian was the first to understand Zhou Cheng's intention.

"Yes." Zhou Cheng nodded and explained to Lin Shan, who was a little confused: "Chen Haoming, as the most powerful contender for the Superboy Championship this time, has a lot of fans. And most of them are crazy fans of boys and girls. If you show If the other party has such an attitude, his fans will definitely worry that your remarks will affect his victory and collectively boycott you and discredit you. The impact on you will be great at that time."

"I understand." Although he was unwilling to do so, Lin Shan nodded and said he would do it.

Zhou Cheng saw Lin Shan's mentality and comforted him: "It's calm for a while. When you really become famous this time and have your own fan base, come and fight back. Even if you lose then, there won't be anyone." It’s said that you are trying to hit an egg against a stone without understanding your own capabilities.”

Lin Shan once lost to Chen Haoming and Zhou Cheng would not let go of the opportunity to gain popularity.

In another world, Chen Haoming only ranked fourth among super men, but in this world, Maihe Company's support for him should be for the championship and runner-up. When the time comes, Lin Shan will follow him to gain some popularity, and there is nothing wrong with it. The method of heat must be appropriate, and you cannot rush upwards. If the other party finds out, with Lin Shan's current reputation, he will definitely be reduced to rubbish.

Seeing that everything had been explained clearly, Zhou Cheng still gave Lin Shan another warning: "If there are questions beyond the ones I prepared for you, you must think about it before answering, and don't blurt it out. If you really encounter tricky questions, You can treat it with silence, but don’t make any aggressive answers.”

Today's recording is extremely crucial for Lin Shan, and it is also a crucial battle for Zhou Cheng.

In this battle, Zhou Cheng has already based his understanding of the brokerage industry, combined with some experience from another world, and strived to be foolproof. Only by truly launching Lin Shan can Zhou Cheng have the confidence to sign other artists. Otherwise, Zhou Cheng decided to leave this industry and work exclusively as a screenwriter or producer, so as not to delay the future of others.

Arriving at the CCTV studio hall, Zhou Cheng accompanied Lin Shan to report first, pick out the order of appearances, submit song accompaniments, then put on makeup, change performance costumes, etc. Zhou Cheng was like an assistant, ensuring that nothing was lost in this series of work. , before sending Lin Shan to the waiting area. Several other contestants had already arrived.

The recording of the program started at two o'clock in the afternoon. During this period, Shen Chuan, the program director, and the producer, Mr. Bi, also came to the waiting area to inspect. They mostly communicated with several contestants, mainly to comfort them and let them know. They don't need to be too nervous to ensure the program recording effect.

Zhou Cheng did not communicate with Shen Chuan. In addition to being worried about being discovered by interested people and unwilling to reveal the news to the outside world, the other reason was that Zhou Cheng took advantage of this period to get to know several players in this game and did not find out that another world passed through As a singer who became famous through this show, it seems that even if Lin Shan wins this competition, it shouldn't be a problem.

At 1:30 p.m., the audience participating in the recording began to enter the venue. After Zhou Cheng and Lin Shan exchanged words, he took Fang Qianqian to the auditorium, leaving Lin Shan sitting in a corner with his eyes closed and concentrating, looking a little alone.

"Hello Lin Shan, I am contestant No. 2 Han Doudou, nice to meet you." A girl interrupted Lin Shan's state of concentration.

"Hello." Lin Shan just nodded in response.

Although Zhou Cheng didn't know this girl, Lin Shan had been in contact with her. She was a well-known underground singer from Chang'an, but she was in a band. She was in a relationship with a bearded guy named Dafang over there.

The girl hit a soft nail and felt a little unhappy. When she returned to her band, she started to complain in a low voice: "Why are you so arrogant? You didn't overestimate your capabilities last time and were eliminated. Maybe this time you will go back in the first session." Home."

"Say less, pay attention to the impact, and be captured by the camera again."

"I just can't stand him being like that, always pretending to be serious..."

"I'm number 4 today. I'm talking about sister, what's going on with that brother?"

"What's going on? It was just the last time I participated..."

Although the discussion among the few people was kept as low as possible, it still could not escape Lin Shan's ears, and the anger in his heart continued to increase.

"Oh...Welcome to the Avenue of Stars. Let's invite the five contestants tonight to make their debut..." Fortunately, the entire waiting area did not take long. With Teacher Bi's iconic opening remarks, this game The game finally kicked off.

The performance went very smoothly. After each game, Teacher Bi would conduct some interviews with the players, and then check with the director whether the footage just recorded needs to be adjusted or re-recorded. Only after the first par is completed perfectly, will it be the turn of the next player. Taking the stage, Lin Shan, as No. 5, will be the last to appear.

After the cheerful performance of the fat brothers on the 4th, the stage went dark. After nearly an hour of recording, it was finally Lin Shan's turn to appear.

A melodious and soulful accompaniment sounded, and Lin Shan, who was sitting on a bar counter, rose from the golden bottom of the Avenue of Stars and entered the camera under the illumination of a spotlight: "Will you remember... tomorrow?"

This familiar and classic old song instantly brought hundreds of audience members back to their youthful student days.

Lao Lang's original singing contained the regret of missing out and belated blessings, but in the version he adapted for Lin Shan, it was more about regret for loss and the loneliness of loneliness. Infected by Lin Shan's melancholy expression and cold voice, Several sentimental girls at the scene were even wiping tears secretly, wondering if they were missing the lost love.

Looking at the performance of the audience, Zhou Cheng knew that Lin Shan had taken this step.
