This star’s style is wrong

Chapter 119 Invitation to compete in the music variety show

After Guo Keda joined Songshi Records and served as the executive manager of Fang Xing Studio, he became interested in hanging out in music bars where various musicians hang out.

He is a socially awkward person, and when he sees someone he looks familiar, he goes up to say hello directly:

"Brother Kuan, Brother Kuan, this is the first time we meet. Please give me some advice. I am the executive manager of Fang Xing Studio of Songshi Records. My name is Guo Keda. This is my business card. Please accept it."

Sheniu all have one characteristic, that is, they make people feel friendly when they speak, and there is no way to dislike them.

Moreover, Guo Keda always has a smiling face when he greets him, and even those in the industry who are not interested in him will not scorn him in person.

In addition, the business card has the logo of Pine Rock Records and the words "Fang Xing Studio" printed on it, making this business card very important.

In the past few months, since "Tomorrow's Star", Fang Xing has been a man of the hour in the music industry.

If you haven't heard of Fang Xing's name, you basically don't need to be in the music industry.

After the business cards were sent out, the effect was explosive.

Because Fang Xing has not received any notifications since the finals of "Tomorrow's Star".

Many programs want to find him on the show.

Now Guo Keda has handed out business cards, and many calls have been made directly.

"Hello, is this Fang Xing Studio?"

"Yes, yes, I am Guo Keda, the executive manager of Fang Xing Studio."

"I would like to invite Fang Xing to appear on our show on the 6th of next month. Is there a schedule?"

"Brother Fang doesn't have a schedule, why don't you consider me? I'm very good at variety shows, and you can also bring Lu Ming and Shao Yu. Brother Fang is really busy, as you know. "Big Fish" and "Painting Heart" "He's still fighting on the hot song charts, how can he have time?"

Since Fang Xing refused to answer the notice, Guo Keda, adhering to the principle of keeping the money from outsiders, began to promote himself, and along with Lu Ming and Shao Yu.

People who didn't know, when they heard him answering the phone like this, thought he was grabbing Fang Xing's announcement.

However, Fang Xing asked him to do this, and it was all to make money for the studio anyway.

If you can't invite Fang Xing, it would be a good choice to invite Guo Keda, Lu Ming, and Shao Yu.

Therefore, the three of Guo Keda did get a lot of notices.

It's not that Fang Xing doesn't answer any announcements. If it's a flagship program on satellite TV, he can still be on it.

However, for several major TV programs, there is no need to go through Guo Keda for inquiries. They usually go directly to the top management of Songshi Records, or even directly to Liang Yusong.

This evening.

Liang Yusong came to Fang Xing's studio and asked, "Are you free tonight? Someone's treating me. Let me go out to dinner."

Fang Xing usually did not participate in this kind of entertainment, so he asked: "Who is treating someone? Do I have to go?"

"You'll know when you get there. It's a heavyweight program, and you must be interested. Let's go, take my car." Liang Yusong shook his head outward.

"All right."

Fang Xing and Liang Yusong left the company and went to the East China Sea Peninsula Hotel.

After entering the hotel, Liang Yusong reported his name, and a waiter led the two of them up to a private room on the fifth floor.

As soon as the private room door opened, Liang Yusong greeted the people inside warmly, and then began to introduce:

"Fang Xing, let me introduce to you. This is Zheng Tao, the chief director of "Song"."

"Hello, Director Zheng." Fang Xing reached out to shake hands.

"I've heard about his name for a long time." Zheng Tao began to look Fang Xing up and down, clicking his tongue.

"I don't dare take it seriously." Fang Xing quickly said modestly.

Zheng Tao laughed and joked: "Are you so humble? This is not the case on the show."

Fang Xing didn't know how to answer this, so he scratched the back of his head with his hand and kept a polite smile.

"Come on, sit down first. Let me introduce to you, these are the staff of our "Singing" program team."

Zheng Tao began to introduce the other people present, and Fang Xing greeted them one by one.

After the greetings, Zheng Tao started to get down to business: "This time I have a relationship with Mr. Liang, and I want to find you to participate in our new season of "Singing". Have you watched some of this show?"

Fang Xing nodded and replied, "I've seen it before. "Singing" is considered the most professional among domestic music competition programs."

There are many music variety shows in this world, some are in harmony, some are in bands, some are in rap, and some are in crossover.

However, these music variety shows all have one common feature: they are not competitive enough.

Especially music variety shows that invite famous singers are even less competitive.

If you invite an 18th-tier singer or an amateur who has not yet debuted, you can maximize the competitiveness.

However, it will be very difficult to produce a program if you hire a famous singer and make it competitive.

Because famous singers have already achieved success and were eliminated from the last show, many famous singers are not willing to participate.

Therefore, the biggest problem in the preparation stage for the variety show "Singing" is to talk about singers.

Zheng Tao's biggest bargaining chip is that "Singing" is currently the most popular music variety show in China.

Based on this alone, many singers who are capable but whose popularity and ability do not match can be identified.

In the current music scene, there are some singers who have top-notch singing abilities, but due to various reasons, they have not gained the fame corresponding to their abilities.

"Singing" is the best stage for this kind of singer.

When you go on stage to compete with real swords and guns, it will be clear at a glance whether you are really capable.

In contrast, there is a type of singer who will never participate in "Singing".

That is a packaged famous singer.

The recording studio and the live performance are two completely different things.

In the album era, there are many singers who can become a hit thanks to a strong music production team and catchy songs.

When performing in commercials, I can only get by by lip-syncing.

This kind of singer is a bit unsatisfactory when singing live.

Once you get on a highly competitive music program like "The Voice", some problems that can be concealed through sound modification will be exposed.

Of course, this type of singer knows all about it and will not accept this kind of music variety invitation.

Also for this reason.

It's very difficult to talk about singers in "Singing". The more famous a singer is, the harder it is to talk about it.

Some king-level singers can't even settle the deal with money. They can only rely on their faces and connections to negotiate.

As for the program "Singing", every season will definitely invite one or two heavyweight singers.

So far, every season has a king and a queen.

As for how it was negotiated, there are many hidden rules behind it.

Because when the "Singing" program team talks about singers, they sign different contracts.

Some singers just have ordinary contracts, while others have additional conditions.

There have been rumors in the industry that singers who are talking about the king or queen level of "Singing" will usually be guaranteed by their contracts, and will be directly guaranteed to be sent to the finals, or even directly signed to win the championship.

Of course, these are just rumors. No one knows how the specific contract was signed, and those who know will never tell anyone.

"Preparations for the new season of "The Voice" have begun, and we are talking about singers. Six starting singers have been confirmed, and there is still one more to go. Now the program team is considering two candidates, and one of them is you. I am looking for you today, that is I would like to ask if you are interested in participating?"

Zheng Tao explained the purpose of tonight's dinner.

The program "Singing" has seven starting singers in each episode.

Every two episodes of the show, a singer with the lowest overall ranking will leave.

After the starting singer leaves, a replacement singer will join later.

Therefore, seven singers compete in each issue.

Usually, heavyweight singers will be arranged as the starting singers.

After all, programs need popularity. The more famous a singer appears in the first episode, the more popular the show will be when it premieres.

Fang Xing is now a top streamer and has the strongest vocals among the top streamers.

After discussion, the director team of "Singing" felt that Fang Xingxing should be found as the first singer.

"This matter is a bit sudden. I haven't thought about it yet." Fang Xing did not agree immediately.

Even if you want to participate, you have to go back and inquire about the situation and find out which singers are participating in the latest season before you can make a decision.

"Don't be in a hurry. You can go back and discuss it with your agent. However, we still need to make a decision as soon as possible. We have to finalize the schedule as soon as possible." Zheng Tao said.

Liang Yusong asked helpfully: "Which singers will participate in the latest episode?"

"Mr. Liang, you should know that our program must be kept confidential. Even if the singer meets on the plane, he must pretend that he is not here to record the program." Zheng Tao replied.

The program "Singing" does have this link.

Before the singer's appearance, neither the singer nor the singer knew that the other party was participating in the show.

This is also a major highlight of the program "Singing".

Therefore, it often happens that two singers participating in the show meet on the same flight and greet each other, but neither admits that they are here to participate in "Singing".

Of course, this is just the setup for the show.

Sometimes, it's impossible to keep the information completely confidential.

"How about revealing a little bit?" Liang Yusong asked.

"I can only reveal that there is a king-level singer joining this episode." Zheng Tao said this with great confidence.

Fang Xing and Liang Yusong looked at each other and guessed what the other was thinking.

Liang Yusong coughed and said, "I have a question. I think it's better to ask clearly. Is there a special contract for this episode?"

"Mr. Liang is joking." Zheng Tao laughed and did not answer directly.

In fact, the fact that the show "Singing" has a special contract is not a secret in the industry.

Liang Yusong shook his head and said with a smile: "How about this? Director Zheng, tell me everything. How far is the special contract signed?"

Zheng Tao was silent for a while and then promised: "Mr. Liang has asked this, so I can guarantee that the finals will all depend on strength. There will be notaries from the Xiangjiang Notary Office present to supervise the program."

Liang Yusong understood it as soon as he heard it.

The finals are all based on strength, which means that there are singers who have signed a special contract to the finals, that is, there are singers who are recommended to the finals.

Of course, the special contract guaranteeing the finals is just one of the bargaining chips for talking about singers.

There will be other conditions, such as giving more help to the singer.

For example, ask for the band’s budget and the music production team’s budget for each issue.

When it comes to the finals, there are also guest singers.

This singing guest also costs money.

Even if you are inviting a friend, it is impossible not to pay a penny.

The budgets given by the program team all have specifications.

The more advanced the contract, the larger the budget.

In previous seasons, there were kings and queens. During the finals, a famous symphony orchestra was invited to the scene. The battle should not be too big.

Although Fang Xing is very popular now, he is not yet good enough to get a special contract.

Therefore, don't think about things like walking in the finals.

However, the stage budget is still negotiable.

Of course, you don’t need to discuss these matters yourself, just leave them to your agent.

Next.

Zheng Tao also introduced some competition rules for this season of "Singing".

Since the program "Singing" has always been based on rigorous competition, the rules are set from the beginning and will not be modified midway unless there is force majeure.

After chatting with Zheng Tao, the chief director of "Singing", he returned to the company and the management team began to inquire about the preparations for this season of "Singing".

Judging from the feedback from various channels, this season's "Singing" team is very solid.

After Fang Xing chatted with Qiao Yinghong, he felt that he could participate.

In the next week, I chatted with the "Singing" program team several times.

After finalizing some details, he signed a contract and confirmed to participate in the latest season of "The Voice" as the last starting singer.

That afternoon.

The official Weibo of "Singing" posted a news, announcing that the last starting singer was in place, and posted a silhouette of the singer.

Since it is just a silhouette, only the outline of the singer can be seen, and the only information that can be determined is the gender and body shape.

Netizens started to post on this Weibo and started to act like detectives with magnifying glasses.

[I am sure of one thing, this singer is a man. 】

[Isn’t this pure nonsense? With this height and body shape, could it be a woman? 】

[It’s hard to say, the supermodel has this height. 】

[So, a supermodel comes to participate in "The Voice" and wins the competition by walking on the catwalk? 】

[This figure looks a bit like Zheng Yanxi. 】

[Actors shouldn’t interfere, right? 】

[Zheng Yanxi may consider participating in "Crossover Singer". 】

[I’ve heard Zheng Yanxi sing, but it’s better not to participate in any music variety shows. It’s good to concentrate on filming. 】

Among the detectives, there are occasionally one or two members of the fan circle.

[With this figure and this hairstyle, just give us Si Qi’s ID card. 】

[No, those who are involved in a boy band, please don’t interfere with the singer’s affairs, okay? 】

[Our Si Qi’s singing skills are recognized as good. Do you understand? 】

[Li Siqi’s singing skills are considered good among idols, but among professional singers, haha! 】

Because so many netizens participated in the investigation, almost every named singer in the entertainment industry was clicked.

[This silhouette looks a lot like Zhang Xingchen. 】

【I feel like Wang Quanyu. 】

[Can’t you read the text of this Weibo post? The two words written above are "new singer". 】

[Is it possible that it is Fang Xing? This silhouette also looks a lot like him. 】

[Impossible, Fang Xing doesn't answer the announcement at all. I have a friend who works in a program group. I originally wanted to invite Fang Xing, but it was Guo Keda and Shao Yu who came. 】

[That also looks a lot like Shao Yu. 】

[Shao Yu is possible, but can Shao Yu take the starting position? A little skeptical. 】

Since the first singer of "Singing" usually has a high status, it seems that Shao Yu's current status is not enough.

【Have you forgotten? Not all of the seven starting singers in "Singing" are big names. There are usually one or two less famous but powerful singers. 】

[In this way, it is possible. At least Shao Yu’s starting lineup is really not a first-round tour? 】

[It’s impossible to travel in one round, at least it’s two rounds. 】

[Among the officially announced starting singers in "Singing", there are some who are kings. I feel that this season will be very intense. 】

"Singing" is still trying to find the schedules of other singers, so the official recording won't start until at least next month.

Fang Xing basically doesn't answer announcements, so his schedule is very flexible.

Taking advantage of this month, Fang Xing went to take the driver's license test.

However, Donghai's license plate was difficult to obtain, so Fang Xing first borrowed one of the company's SUVs to drive.

The first repayment of "Nocturne" has been received. With money in hand, it is not convenient to continue to stay in the company or hotel.

Therefore, Fang Xing found an agent and looked for a house near Songshi Records. Finally, he rented a well-decorated house in Tianlan Wenyuan and moved in directly.

There were not many things to move, but the three coolies, Guo Keda, Lu Ming, and Shao Yu, still came to move together.

Guo Keda also bought a box of beer and put it in the refrigerator, saying that it was stored here and that they could drink it together when they came over for supper in the future.

night.

After Guo Keda and three others returned.

After Fang Xing finished washing, he stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling glass window in the living room, looking at the night view of the East China Sea, with many thoughts surging in his heart.

This world is so similar to the earth in the previous life, but there are so many differences.

In the past five months, Fang Xing has often dreamed about things on the earth. In the past month, such dreams have gradually become less frequent, perhaps because he has become accustomed to life in this world.

In the first few months after coming to this world, Fang Xing often wondered whether one day he would wake up and return to Earth.

But every time I wake up, I'm still in training camp.

Fang Xing is not sure whether he likes here more or the earth.

Sometimes, Fang Xing wishes he could stay here, because there is a girl here who overlaps with a beautiful period in his memory.

As for the secret of the earth, it is impossible to tell it.

It would be a pity if Earth's splendid civilization would just remain silent in our memory.

Fang Xing has thought about this issue and made a decision. He will keep part of his future income and donate it under the name "Zhuang Zhou".

Of the two worlds, one should be a dream.

Just like Zhuang Zhou Mengdie.

I just don’t know if I am a butterfly now or if I was a butterfly in the past.

PS:

In fact, when it was put on the shelves, I originally wanted to say something about babies and ask for subscriptions, but then I thought about it and decided not to, I wrote it and then deleted it.

Now the baby is healthy and Pian Feng is very satisfied.

I learned how to burp milk today. The little guy's stomach may be a bit like mine. He will vomit milk when he is full.
