After Liao Yuan successfully advanced, he received an invitation letter from the organizer to participate in the competition a week later, and learned about the creative theme of the new round of competition.
Next week, which is also the third week of the competition, the Donghai Division will hold a top 100 competition. The rules are roughly to select the top 100 based on the quality of the original piano repertoire.
And the fourth week is the top ten games.
After the top ten matches, the top 30 players from China's three major competition areas will automatically enter the knockout rounds, semi-finals and finals.
Before the finals, the entire One Emperor and Four Emperors Piano Competition could only be regarded as an underground event.
Although it is very popular on the Internet, for real grand pianists, such offline competitions organized by private enterprises are generally not accessible to the public.
Strictly speaking, only the China Division Finals, which will be held at the Bird's Nest, are eligible to enter the public eye.
Only then are you qualified to be reported by national media and media from all over the world.
That moment, for many people, is truly the center of attention.
Liao Yuan looks forward to that day coming.
However, compared to myself, my sister Liao Meiqi's attention seems to have come earlier?
…
At six o'clock in the evening, Zhang Henge turned on his tablet and started watching the new issue of "Produce 101".
As one of the Seven Sons of the Empire and an artist with over 100 million streams in today’s entertainment industry, Zhang Henge’s initial debut experience was similar to that of many artists of the same period. They all debuted in Asia’s star-making factory, South Korea.
He initially hung out with an idol group in South Korea. He was the only Chinese member of the group and was very popular in South Korea.
However, unlike many idols who broke away from their original companies after becoming famous and broke their contracts to start their own business, Zhang Henge still maintains a contractual relationship with his original South Korean company seven years after his debut.
Just because of the different markets, although Zhang Henge's name is still in the South Korean idol group, he himself has not performed with the group in related performances for probably two years.
Even so, the original company could not neglect Zhang Henge.
Each of the seven members of the Chinese entertainment empire is extraordinary. He is an idol artist with hundreds of millions of fans. His ability to attract money by himself is comparable to, or even greater than, the most popular idol group in South Korea.
Faced with such an idol who was able to pay liquidated damages at any time and start his own business, the original company simply obeyed Zhang Henge and treated him like a guest.
Recently, due to the strong demand from fans, the promised period of one album a year has almost come.
In the new album, in addition to choreographing and composing music himself, Zhang Henge also cast a net everywhere and contacted many songwriters in the industry, hoping to find a few qualified hit songs. For this reason, he did not hesitate to personally interact with songwriters.
But they often leave with hope and return with disappointment.
Many people want to cooperate with this top-notch artist, but the works they produce cannot catch the eye of Zhang Henge at all. Each one of them is completely unworthy of their reputation, and their reputation is greater than their strength.
The reason why he has reached where he is today is not only his own strength and connections in the company, but also his work attitude that counts every penny.
He will not deal with any performance, will not waste any role he gets, and will not fill up the numbers in every new album to make money and deceive people.
This kind of professional attitude is also one of the reasons why he can always stand at the top of the entertainment industry.
The recent hit "Produce 101" in the industry has attracted the attention of Zhang Henge's team.
First of all, Han Yu, who is also known as one of the Seven Sons of the Empire, openly quarreled with the program team on Weibo and supported junior sister Xie Yuqi.
Following closely behind was an unknown anchor who posted an article criticizing Han Yu and supporting his sister Liao Meiqi.
One stone stirs up a thousand waves.
In the eyes of outsiders, the small anchor's efforts are tantamount to mantis trying to take advantage of the situation and not overestimating his own capabilities.
But after careful investigation, Zhang Henge's team was shocked.
Soon after Zhang Henge received the news, he also watched the five episodes of "Produce 101" since its launch in his spare time.
He focused on Liao Meiqi, and the more he watched, the more addicted he became.
The three songs "The Rest of My Life", "If There Is an Afterlife" and "Remembrance" are definitely above the standard in terms of quality, but this is not the reason why Zhang Henge is frightened.
According to the investigation by Zhang Henge's team, Liao Meiqi actually came from a famous family, and the great songwriter Liao Yuemin turned out to be Liao Meiqi's father.
You know, Liao Yuemin is one of the several songwriters that Zhang Henge's team always wants to cooperate with, but never gets a response!
As the saying goes, like father, like son.
These three songs by Liao Meiqi's brother Liao Yuan also impressed Zhang Henge and saw the hope of the title song of the new album.
Most of his albums are dance music.
But apart from dance music, folk songs and pop music are also one of his favorite categories. According to the latest news, Liao Meiqi’s brilliant new song "Nobody" in the new program is also a dance song.
Moreover, the trailer that was edited just a week ago immediately made the entire entertainment industry excited.
The brainwashing melody in the chorus of "Nobody" has become a hit on the entire Internet, and its hot searches on Weibo have always been among the top ten.
Today, a new episode of "Produce 101" is coming, and there are countless viewers across Asia sitting in front of computers like Zhang Henge to watch the show.
The real craze for "Nobody" began to gradually sweep the entire subculture circle after the new episode was broadcast.
"I-want-nobody-nobody-But-You..."
“Congratulations to Team Liao Meiqi!”
"Congratulations to Miracle Girl!"
After watching the video program for more than an hour in one breath, Zhang Henge couldn't help laughing out loud. The junior sisters Han Yu's bastard tried to protect were not enough to beat the Liao brothers and sisters!
He smiled and shook his head, then swiped his finger on the screen to reset the scene to the time when Miracle Girl performed "Nobody".
He thought for a moment and then clicked play.
"I'm like a wounded rose
I need you to water my tears
You hide this sadness
Don't even dare to look back
Like being alone for three years..."
The brainwashing melody came again, and Zhang Henge was inexplicably excited. He took a deep breath, and after watching the girls' dance, he swiped the screen again and froze the scene before Liao Meiqi and others performed.
Then open your eyes wide, move closer to the screen, and look carefully at the song information bar below:
Song title: "Nobody"
Singer: Miracle Girl
Composer: Unknown
Lyricist: Unnamed
Performer:Seals
Zhang Henge smiled, very happily, "Wu Ming? How could it be Wu Ming? There really is no three hundred taels of silver in this place? This Liao Yuan is really interesting."
Then, he called his agent: "How is the investigation going?"
"Is it about Mr. Liao?"
The agent replied: "The phone number, WeChat, and address have all been checked, but Mr. Liao's current situation is relatively sensitive. Han Yu's fans blocked the Donghai Radio Station not long ago and made a big fuss. Mr. Liao has disappeared since then.
His mobile phone and WeChat are all set to reject calls from strangers, so we can’t contact him for the time being.”
Zhang Henge smiled and said, "Then go to his house!"
"Now?" The agent was a little stunned.
"What if?"
Zhang Henge threw his tablet on the sofa and started to walk to the cloakroom to put on his clothes: "Forget it, send me his address and I'll go there in person."
"No, boss, you go there in person, isn't it necessary? You are Zhang Henge."
The agent said: "I will send someone to stop him early tomorrow morning and ensure that he is brought to you completely."
