After Lin Yi's thousands-mile journey entered a critical period that he had been preparing for for a long time, Gu Caiwei also ushered in her biggest opportunity since her debut.
The second season of "Singer" will premiere in early January, and the first episode will be recorded in late December.
At this stage, the starting lineup could no longer be concealed. Various entertainment reporters who had been waiting for a long time photographed the seven singers entering the Mango TV building to record the program in Star City.
Needless to say about the others, only Gu Caiwei encountered a little trouble.
Well, she looks very beautiful, but...
Who is this?
Most of the reporters did not recognize her at the first time, but they were professionals after all, and someone soon found out the identity of this person. She was the "beautiful girl you meet once in 5,000 years" who caused a lot of noise on the Internet some time ago.
When you hear such a name, you know it is a farce. Well-informed industry insiders would not pay too much attention to it, so why do they suddenly get involved?
After confirming their identities, of course they shouted outrageously, and they quickly reached a consensus:
Mango Channel is shameless this time just for the sake of hype!
Thanks to the competent work of this group of people, the first list of "Singer" was soon circulated on the Internet, and then there was another big storm of public opinion.
Many people went to Mango Channel's program Weibo to make a fuss.
Some of them simply insulted Mango Channel for being ugly, and I don’t know how much illegal money they received to help advertise the "Singer" pill for a girl group that had just debuted.
Some fans of other debut singers came to complain, claiming that sharing the stage with an inferior idol singer was an insult to other singers.
Some targeted Gu Caiwei herself, sarcastically calling her a "connected person" and a "recommended player". All kinds of rumors were rampant, including even worse filthy words.
It is difficult to determine whether the composition of these people is what they claim. At least it is certain that those who have time to curse people online all day long should be idlers without serious jobs.
In fact, the entertainment industry itself is a small closed circle, and many precious opportunities are just given and received privately. Regardless of whether the artists are likeable or not, strictly speaking, they are all "connected people".
When Lin Yi noticed the news, he originally wanted to call Gu Caiwei to enlighten him, but it was Ms. Gu Changge who answered the phone.
She told Lin Yi that Gu Caiwei was concentrating on recording the show.
Peng Yuchen had long known what the reaction would be when the news was made public, so he cut off Gu Caiwei's internet in advance as a protection, and Ms. Gu Changge also rushed all the way to Star City to accompany her.
In fact, Gu Caiwei is very big-hearted. The hype some time ago has attracted a lot of criticism, but she didn't take it seriously at all.
However, Peng Yuchen has already put all her bets on the opportunity of "Singer" this time. She cannot take it too seriously. Her request is absolutely foolproof.
Since the two most important people in Gu Caiwei's career are by her side, Lin Yi is not too worried.
As for how to resolve this storm of public opinion, or even take advantage of the situation to boost Gu Caiwei's popularity, that is Peng Yuchen's job.
On January 3, not long after Wanli Travel started this round of subsidy war, the first episode of the second season of "Singer" in which Gu Caiwei participated was aired.
As the most unknown of the debut singers, and because of her "original sin" status as a girl group before the broadcast, many people paid attention to her debut performance.
The result: I gained a wave of fans.
"How can there be such a beautiful woman? This must be the fairy descending to earth!"
"What an unexpected surprise, the girl group's singing skills are at their peak!"
"Why would such a female singer want to be an idol? Please go solo!"
In addition to these fancy rainbow farts, a long article of tens of thousands of words also appeared on the Internet. Its title is "The reason why I didn't walk away when she spoke was because I planned to listen to it, but after five minutes
I became her fan".
Well, it has a very strong flavour. Lin Yi thought it should be Peng Yuchen’s masterpiece, but it actually gained the approval of many netizens.
For artists who do not have the strength or popularity among the audience, exposure may be an unbearable burden, bringing only criticism, blame, insults, and the most extreme punishment:
dont see.
But for artists who have both, exposure means skyrocketing fans, fame and fortune, and soaring to the sky.
Gu Caiwei is obviously the latter.
Overnight, Vivian's name was no longer a source of pride in the small circle. People from all over the country knew about her reputation and recognized her singing voice.
Of course, it's impossible for everyone to love her.
Most of the accusations are that Mango Channel will do whatever it takes to make this newcomer named Vivian popular. The singing effect presented on the show is the work of "millions of sound editors". As for the voting results, it is naturally a shady vote.
Others criticized the girl idol for not being able to sing even one of her own songs and not worthy of being called a "singer" at all.
In principle, the first episode of this program requires singers to sing their own songs, but Gu Caiwei chose a classic old song by another female singer.
This was determined after she discussed it with Peng Yuchen, because their first album of Give Me Five contained singing and dancing songs with girl-type dances, which were not suitable for use in this kind of PK singing program.
However, Peng Yuchen invested in Gu Caiwei's opportunity regardless of the cost.
She discovered that after the recording of the first episode, "no original song" became a black point for netizens to attack, so she directly went to a well-known composer in the industry to buy an unpublished song, and then asked Gu Caiwei to participate in the second competition
Sing it out.
The new song was sung in the program in response to previous criticisms, and the TV station was happy to see it happen, because it was also one of the highlights and topics.
On January 10, the second episode of the program was broadcast.
Everyone was surprised to find that instead of singing her own song last time, Gu Caiwei simply came up with a new song that had never been released before!
Of course, fans are looking forward to new songs, but since the collapse of the record industry, the domestic music industry has been declining, so talents are withering and good works are hard to find.
The song bought by Peng Yuchen is not only of high quality, but also Gu Caiwei showed great strength and a very special timbre during the singing process, which gives people a refreshing feeling from any angle.
The audience was also very considerate and directly gave Gu Caiwei the first place in this issue.
The two episodes of "Singer" are one round. The combined results of the two episodes require one person to be eliminated. Naturally, Gu Caiwei firmly stays in the safe zone.
After two episodes were aired, Gu Caiwei not only became the most talked about contestant this season, but also gained recognition from most people through her own strength.
People are still looking forward to a successor in the Chinese music scene, and are happy to see a distinctive young female singer emerge.
As for the identity of the girl group, which was highly controversial in the past, it doesn't matter to older fans because they have no idea what a girl group is.
The closer you are to the fandom, the more you care about things like "position size", "ranking", and "professional contempt chains".
Of course, it is inevitable that some people will say harsh words.
Gu Caiwei's family background was revealed to the tip of the iceberg, and they believed that her debut in the girl group was "a rich family's daughter experiencing life", saying that it was nothing special for her to have new songs to sing, it was nothing more than her "money ability".
No matter what, because Peng Yuchen cut off the Internet to protect her during the competition, Gu Caiwei did not know the feedback from the outside world at the first time, and knew that Ms. Gu Changge had conveyed the good news.
She looked at her daughter very seriously and happily:
