Behind the scenes of the entertainment industry

Although he was hit hard, Zhou Cheng, as a rookie agent, agreed with the views of several judges.

After first comforting Lin Shan, he then started to contact him with professional training teachers. Finally, he hired a vocal teacher from the Huaxia Conservatory of Music at a price of 1,000 yuan per lesson, and relied on his relationship as a Nortel alumnus.

A physical education teacher was invited to give Lin Shan typhoon training, and Zhou Cheng helped him with the money.

However, a month later the top three of the "National Youth Singers Championship" were unveiled. The third runner-up was a folk singer whose qualifications were not as good as those of Lin Shan. After the competition, he signed a contract with Modern Music and is said to have released a single.

.

Zhou Cheng's trustee inquired about the information and learned that the singer had been signed by Modern Music before participating in the competition. Participating in this competition was just gold-plating. Winning the third place was the result of their company's public relations, which did not affect the competition.

Professional and able to have ample opportunities to show their face.

This result not only made Lin Shan dissatisfied, but also caused a disagreement between him and Zhou Cheng.

"The comments made by Mr. Liu, who was a judge at the time, are quite reasonable. As a singer, you still have to rely on basic skills in the end. Don't you find that you have made great progress after this period of contact? We must accumulate more knowledge and make progress."

There is a blockbuster moment." This is Zhou Cheng's view,

Lin Shan had a completely different opinion: "Those judges are just fooling you laymen. Look at Xu Feng's strengths. He can only play simple chords on the guitar. His lyrics are nonsense, but those judges

He actually said that his songs are very poetic. It’s total fucking nonsense.”

This was the first disagreement between Zhou Cheng and Lin Shan. Zhou Cheng also understood Lin Shan's eagerness to become famous, so he took the initiative to give in and started contacting him with other announcements.

As a member of Beidiao, Lin Shan did not have much savings. After signing the contract with Zhou Cheng, he rarely sang in bars and lost his income. Now his life depends on working part-time and participating in

His girlfriend Fang Qianqian sponsored the self-study exam, which made Lin Shan, who had always had a macho mentality, feel a little inferior.

Zhou Cheng, who understood Lin Shan's predicament, began to contact him for a second announcement. Finally, through the introduction of an alumnus, he met Zhang Jun, the planner of Mango TV's variety show department. He helped Lin Shan qualify for the Quancheng competition area of ​​"2007 Super Boy".

Many viewers who don’t know the truth may think that this variety show on Mango TV is a national talent show, but it is not necessarily the case. Basically, the top few in each sub-division of such a variety show are pre-determined. They have not signed or intend to sign with the organizer Tianyu Media.

Singers are those who have signed contracts with other record companies that have a huge interest in Tianyu Media. Even if there are a few real civilian singers, they will stop at the top 32 after advancing to the main competition.

The favor Zhang Jun gave Zhou Cheng to the alumni behind him was only among the top 32 in the country.

After all, after the phenomenal popularity of "2006 Super Girl", "2007 Super Boy" has also attracted the attention of audiences across the country. The top 32 contestants who can go to Star City to participate in the Mango TV Finals also have a very high exposure rate. Even if

If you are eliminated in the subsequent competition, there will also be a lower bracket rematch, audience voting rematch, etc., plus the chance to participate in the warm-up of the finals, singing support, etc., which will greatly increase the contestants' chances of success.

Reputation.

According to Zhou Cheng's plan, after the competition, Lin Shan became somewhat famous. Through his connections in the school, he contacted some alumni and tried his best to help Lin Shan get the qualifications to sing in some film and television drama inserts and ending songs, so that he could make a living first.

Himself. In another two years, after he has truly established himself in this circle, he will try to release a single. Now that the Internet has begun to become popular, singles can be released through online music platforms instead of Bai Na, Modern, Maihe, and Tianyu.

Such a record company has a monopoly. After Lin Shan can officially hit the road, he will also have a certain amount of experience and connections. At that time, he can use the school's resources to obtain some well-qualified student agency contracts and officially enter the film and television industry.

However, plans cannot keep up with changes.

"What I want to challenge is Chen Haoming from the Chang'an Division!"

In the Quancheng division competition, according to the pre-planned plan, in the 50-to-10 competition, Lin Shan, as the first place in the resurrection group, entered the top 16 of the division. Then in the "48-hour challenge", Lin Shan only had to challenge the strength of the Chang'an division

The weakest singer will be qualified to participate in the finals of Mango TV. But Lin Shan didn't know what was wrong. He faced the camera and told the camera that he was the most popular singer in the Chang'an Division and had signed a contract with Maihe Music. He was almost the winner of this session.

Chen Haoming, who has been ranked among the top five in "Super Boy", issued a challenge.

This game was a joint live broadcast of the six major competition areas. Hearing Lin Shan's challenge application on the stage, Zhou Cheng, who was sitting in the audience, was stunned on the spot. All his beautiful ideas were like a beautiful soap bubble, shattering in the sun.

Already.

"Zhou Cheng, can't you even control your own artist? His game is over!" Zhang Jun shook his head and turned to leave. The favor had been given, and Zhou Cheng didn't take advantage of it, so it's no wonder he Zhang Jun.

"Did you get kicked in the head by a donkey? I didn't tell you that Chen Haoming was an unofficial player and asked you to challenge Chang Yan. How dare you make your own decision?" After being lectured by Zhang Jun, Zhou Cheng found the self-righteous Lin Shan.

"I believe in myself. Didn't you see that the audience was cheering for me?" Lin Shan didn't take Zhou Cheng's blame seriously. He pointed at the tens of thousands of viewers under the stage and said confidently. He was already lost in the program.

in the illusion created.

Sure enough, Lin Shan's challenge was like a moth to a flame, creating the biggest disparity in the competition, 980,000 to 4,600. Lin Shan's text message support rate was even a fraction of Chen Haoming's, and he became this

The laughingstock of the competition.

"Xiao Zhou, thank you. Your artist has directly helped our Haoming gain a lot of popularity. Now our company is ready to increase investment in him. There is no way, even in the same company, the competition between agents is very fierce

"If Haoming can win the final championship, Lin Shan's contribution is indispensable." After the challenge, Chen Haoming's manager Cheng Kai from Maihe Music found Zhou Cheng and handed him a business card.

Full of unconcealable excitement and ridicule of Lin Shan's overestimation: "This is my business card. If you are of any use to my brother in the future, just say so. I will never refuse."

Although the other party handed him his business card as a courtesy, Zhou Cheng did not give him any smile during the whole process.

Perhaps feeling a little complacent, Cheng Kai later imparted some of his own experience to Zhou Cheng: "As agents, the most important thing is to control our artists, otherwise the artists will cause trouble every day, and we can only follow

If you are putting out a fire behind your butt, how can you have time to help him contact the public?"

Both Zhang Jun and Cheng Kai's words were inspiring to Zhou Cheng, and they also made Zhou Cheng seriously consider the cooperative relationship between himself and Lin Shan. Was he too indulgent towards Lin Shan, because he had nothing to hold on to?

The other party's things made him act a little recklessly.

Even though this was due to Lin Shan's casual personality, it was also due to Zhou Cheng himself being too young. So Zhou Cheng even helped Lin Shan receive a notice, but he didn't choose to tell him. Instead, he was going to tease him and make him anxious to get to know him.

Talk about your own mistakes later.

I just didn't expect that before Zhou Cheng could start to implement it, this body would be occupied by him from another parallel world.

Now, after many years of ups and downs in the system and in the entertainment industry, Zhou Cheng understands the true connotation of this circle. So he will not continue to indulge Lin Shan like that Zhou Cheng did. He will reconsider his choices and reorganize

Use your own advantages.

--------The same unpopular dividing line----------------

"It's a freezing night and it's late at night..."

Seeing Fang Qianqian running towards Linshan, Zhou Cheng couldn't help but shook his head. Just as he was about to turn around and leave, his Nokia phone started singing Xu Meijing again, oh, it was Xu Qianqian's "We Return at Night"

.

"Zhou Cheng, where are you? Come out for dinner, Master Chu invites you..."
