Chapter 96 Auditions for the Spring Festival Gala Program
Youman has no doubt that Xu Ji can come up with an original new song.
In her opinion, Xu Ji must have a lot of inventory there.
But I just don’t know if it’s suitable for the Spring Festival Gala.
Seeing Xu Ji frowning, Youman thought he was worried about Ge, so he said:
"After all, it's the Spring Festival Gala, and the director's requirements are also high."
"There were obviously alternative programs prepared this time, but I heard that those alternative programs did not meet the director's requirements."
"In a hurry, not only us, but also other small companies or the three major entertainment companies may not be able to come up with suitable songs."
"It's normal if you can't choose."
Youman's words can be regarded as a vaccination in advance.
She was afraid that when Sha Yetong went and was not selected, the two of them would be disappointed.
But what she didn't know was that Xu Ji didn't actually worry about this.
What he is struggling with now is that there are too many songs and he doesn’t know which one to choose.
"By the way, does the program require a solo performance?"
Xu Ji asked.
Youman shook his head.
"Not really."
"Only singing programs are stipulated."
"You mean..."
Although Xu Ji doesn't care about attending the Spring Festival Gala, Xu Ji is quite interested in attending the Spring Festival Gala with Sha Yetong.
After hearing Youman's answer, he also had some rough candidate songs in mind.
......
Even the three major entertainment companies paid great attention to the news that there was no one available in the Spring Festival Gala.
Of course, the three major entertainment companies are too big after all, and there are many artists and singers in them.
Although many of them belong to the same company, they have always been in competition with each other.
Phoenix Entertainment, Zheng Yuzhen said to Yu Feifei in front of her with a cautious look:
"This opportunity to participate in the Spring Festival Gala program audition is very rare, even in the entire company, there are not many."
"In addition, I also asked Feng Huan for a song."
"You should practice hard these days."
Yu Feifei nodded quickly.
I was very excited.
This is the Spring Festival Gala after all. If she can appear on the Spring Festival Gala, then her popularity may explode overnight.
It is very possible to become a first-line singer directly.
There are many such precedents.
And Sister Zheng obviously values this opportunity very much.
Even Feng Huan, the company’s super-S-level songwriter and lyricist, even helped her get a song.
Feng Huan is the person who won two Best Composition Awards: Golden Note and Moon Night Sonata.
The songs he wrote helped Phoenix Entertainment become popular among many people.
Yu Feifei was full of confidence at this time and felt that the Spring Festival Gala stage was beckoning to her.
......
At the same time, after practicing singing with Sha Yetong for two consecutive days.
Xu Ji, Sha Yetong, and Youman flew to the capital one day in advance.
Prepare to participate in this Spring Festival Gala program audition.
Xu Ji also discovered that everyone obviously attaches great importance to the Spring Festival Gala.
Mainly because there is still a difference between this place and the Spring Festival Gala on Earth in his memory.
Blue Star's Spring Festival Gala has not been bad for so many years, nor has it been criticized as getting more and more boring.
Because the Spring Festival Gala officials, starting from the director, to all the programs that appear on the Spring Festival Gala, have been screened at all levels.
It doesn’t mean just inviting a few popular celebrities to come on stage and sing two of the more popular songs this year.
For example, for song program requirements, although there are some old songs, the overall proportion of original new songs is higher.
Every time the Spring Festival Gala ends, there will be many new songs dominating the new song charts of Penguin Music and Cloud Music.
Blue Star's Spring Festival Gala has been serving as a ratings ceiling until now.
The ability to create stars can be said to be even more exaggerated than some popular variety shows.
And it can be done in just one night.
"Are there so many people coming this time?"
Xu Ji asked in surprise.
Just when he checked into the hotel arranged by the Spring Festival Gala officials, he had already seen many singers who looked familiar.
Youman nodded.
"Actually, when the Spring Festival Gala first started last year, the lineup was said to be even more exaggerated than this."
"There are already many people who went to the Satellite TV Spring Festival Gala but can't come, and the competition is much smaller."
......
As the director of this year's Spring Festival Gala, Duan Suxin actually did not expect that with only half a month until the Spring Festival Gala, the singer in one of the programs would have a problem with his voice.
It stands to reason that it is not impossible to change someone to sing or use some alternative programs.
But Duan Suxin was not satisfied with the final results of the singer change and other programs.
This is the Spring Festival Gala after all, and Duan Su decided to audition for another program after careful consideration.
"Have all the singers invited this time arrived?"
Duan Suxin asked the deputy director of the Spring Festival Gala.
The assistant director took out the signature book in his hand and answered:
"Um...Director Duan, I was just about to tell you about this."
"Many singers said they didn't have time, and then recommended other singers to us."
"I can't drive people away either."
Duan Suxin was not surprised by this.
Although the singers she invited were named, she was also very clear about the operations of these companies in the entertainment industry.
There will definitely be people who transfer the quota to other singers because of favors or forced arrangements by the company.
As a semi-official director, Duan Suxin has always maintained a distance and boundaries with these entertainment companies.
But this kind of thing is not serious. When it comes, it will come. Just turn a blind eye.
Anyway, the final decision on the program is in her hands. At most, she just gives the singers who squeezed in a chance.
......
When Xu Ji and the others went out for dinner at night, they actually met Zheng Yuzhen and Yu Feifei in the corridor of the hotel.
Considering the relationship between the two parties, it is naturally impossible to say hello.
Yu Feifei's expression was a little awkward.
Zheng Yuzhen looked calm and composed. After glancing at Xu Ji and the others, she went back to her room.
After leaving the hotel, Sha Yetong said with some surprise: "Yu Feifei also came to participate?"
Youman opened his mouth to explain:
"It's normal."
"Zheng Yuzhen is still very powerful as a gold medal manager of Phoenix Entertainment."
"She has accumulated so many contacts in the entertainment industry for many years, so it is not difficult to get an audition invitation for the Spring Festival Gala."
Xu Ji felt a little strange and said, "But I seem to have seen a lot of people I don't know."
"Are there any traffic stars coming?"
Youman nodded.
"The quota for the Spring Festival Gala is very precious. For many companies, such an opportunity can maximize their profits by using it to promote newcomers."
"Some singers who have been famous for a long time will come to compete for exposure opportunities in the Spring Festival Gala due to their decline in popularity."
"But most of the top singers or first-line singers have already performed in the Spring Festival Gala, and their value will not increase much if they perform again. The effect will definitely not be as good as that of newcomers."
"What you just saw should be the idol that Smallpox Entertainment said they spent two and a half years cultivating before debuting, right?"
Hearing Youman's question, Xu Ji was a little unsure and had only seen it by chance.
Moreover, the other party's dressing style is different from that of the powerful singers I have seen.
However, when I heard Youman talking about two and a half years, I didn’t know if it was an illusion. Xu Ji always felt that it was a little familiar, but he didn’t know where he had heard it before.
