After all the contestants arrived, the "Chinese Idol" media conference officially began.
Chief director Li Dongtian led the production team of the original "American Idol" to appear at the press conference. After all, it is a program that purchased the copyright. The original production team will assist "Chinese Idol" in producing the first three episodes.
"The contestants will undergo three days of closed training. Starting from July 9, every Friday night at 9 o'clock, we will broadcast every session of "Chinese Idol" globally!"
At the press conference, in addition to the top sixty contestants across the country, members of the high-profile judging team also appeared one by one to meet with the media.
There are three judges in total, all of whom are well-known singers, music producers, and TV producers. We will also invite front-line practitioners in the industry to join in the future.
"In addition to professional judges, we also randomly selected 35 public judges to participate in the TV recording!"
"Of course, for the sake of full fairness, our "Chinese Idol" competition will use text messages to count votes. Audiences in front of the TV only need to use China Mobile, China Unicom, or PHS mobile phones to send text messages to support your favorite contestant, and you can participate in voting!"
"We will prepare 500,000 cash and several digital DVs for each program, and distribute them to mobile phone voting users on site!"
The reporters at the scene exclaimed, "As expected of Shonan Satellite TV, this is indeed a big deal!"
But it is worth mentioning that sending text messages is not free. For example, sending mobile text messages is 1 yuan per text. China Unicom and PHS users only charge 0.5 yuan per text because they are program partners, and all fees are collected by the operators.
.
Based on the current popularity of "Chinese Idol", it can be expected that this income alone will be an astronomical figure.
Reporters lamented that it turned out that capital was not profitable and could not afford it early.
These cash and prizes are nothing compared to the TV viewing audience in the hundreds of millions.
Afterwards, there was a free interview session. Zheng Qian and other contestants faced questions from the media and answered some hot questions one by one.
"Yu Wei, I heard that you were invited to audition for the movie "The Great Sage". Is it true?"
Everyone looked at contestant Yu Wei.
A young girl with short and sassy hair nodded and said, "That's true, but I rejected it because I wanted to participate in the "Chinese Idol" competition."
The expressions of the people around me were a little regretful.
"The Great Sage" is a mythological movie that has been very popular recently. It has an initial investment of more than 70 million. It tells the story of Sun Wukong who fought and defeated the Buddha 500 years later to make trouble in heaven again for a little girl. Among them,
That little girl is the role Yu Wei is auditioning for, and she can be said to be the absolute heroine.
In order to participate in "Chinese Idol", she turned down movies that she might have starred in. One can imagine how much sacrifice Yu Wei made.
Even Zheng Qian was a little impressed.
Zhang Guoran, who had been sitting next to him, whispered to Zheng Qian: "Yu Wei is a seed artist of Huaying Media. She is extremely talented. She was poached from a small company by Huaying Media at a high price half a year ago. She was very sensational at the time... This "
"The Great Sage" is also a film produced by Huaying Media, so you can taste it carefully."
Zheng Qian was happy and said to Zhang Guoran: "You know a lot!"
"That's necessary! I will give you a nickname: Jianghu Baixiaosheng!" Zhang Guoran stroked his hairline and said angrily.
Zheng Qian looked at Yu Wei, who was sitting in the middle seat. Although he was also a star player in the East China Sea Division, the East China Sea Division was actually a super region with many strong players, so Yu Wei was not given the quota for yesterday's recording of "Happy Camp"
Instead, it was given to Yu Qianqian, who was the most popular in the East China Sea Division.
Yu Wei is well-rounded. It is said that she is proficient in acting and singing, and her talents are relatively balanced.
But relatively speaking, Yu Qianqian is better in singing. During the audition period, he had a lot of exposure and accumulated a lot of fans.
Zheng Qian only paid a little attention and stopped asking. Especially after knowing that the other party was an artist under Huaying Media, he had no interest in paying attention.
But Yu Wei seemed to feel Zheng Qian's gaze. When she followed the feeling and looked at Zheng Qian, she found that Zheng Qian was not looking at her. She felt a little strange and her eyes flickered for a moment.
Soon, the press conference ended.
Sixty contestants have settled into the dormitory of the building. They will receive special training from the music directors in the next three days, and then start rehearsing the program in preparation for the live broadcast.
In fact, each of these players has some arrogance and pretentiousness in their hearts. After all, they are the proud ones who stand out from hundreds of thousands of competitors. It is inevitable to be a little arrogant until today.
Therefore, when I moved into the dormitory, except for some people who were naturally familiar with each other, basically everyone was in a state of not wanting to talk to anyone.
The same is true for Zheng Qian, but he is not arrogant and uses these three days to write songs.
Universal Music's Wan Feng had called him in the morning and asked him to quickly compose the last five songs. Now is the time when Zheng Qian's popularity in Hong Kong is rising sharply. If he doesn't strike while the iron is hot, how long will it take?
Zheng Qian also lived up to Wan Feng's expectations. He had already written two songs before going to bed yesterday, namely "Walking on the Road of Life" and "The Love of a Lifetime". Later, I felt that the songs in the album were too dull. I remembered that they were very popular in Hong Kong.
"Red Sun", so I got up in the middle of the night and wrote another song "The Flower Protector". I was very excited when I was writing it.
After getting up this morning, I drowsily thought of last night's arrangement, and immediately became more energetic. I hummed "Trouble Song" again while washing.
Very good, four songs have been assembled, but the last one is still missing.
He remembered what Wan Feng had asked him to do in the morning.
Universal Music has signed a new female singer with a beautiful and recognizable voice. She has not officially debuted yet. I hope Zheng Qian will be kind enough to write a male-female duet song to attract the new singer.
Zheng Qian couldn't help complaining in his heart, am I not a newcomer?
So for the sake of the publisher, the last song "Breaking Up with Kindness" also appeared.
However, "Song of Troubles" and "Breaking Up with Kindness" only have preliminary drafts, and the specific lyrics and music have not been written yet.
Therefore, after settling into the dormitory of the building, after placing the clothes in the suitcase, Zheng Qian began to lie on the desk, humming and writing, and immediately entered a state of selflessness.
Contestant Yu Qianqian, who was assigned to the same dormitory, was a little stunned when he saw Zheng Qian working so hard.
As a singer-songwriter, Yu Qianqian felt slightly ashamed at this moment.
Alas, no wonder they are so popular...
Damn it, people who are better than you work harder than you, what qualifications do you have to not work hard!!
So Yu Qianqian also took out a pen and paper with a struggling look on his face, sat at another desk and began to follow Zheng Qian's example in writing and drawing.
I just lacked inspiration, and the chords I wrote were like a bunch of ghostly symbols...
He looked up and saw that Zheng Qian was still writing with great energy, so he felt even more inferior in his heart.
"Brother, Brother Qian!"
He couldn't help but asked cautiously: "Do you have any experience in creating?"
Zheng Qian responded, still immersed in the lyrics. It took him a moment to react, raised his head and said with a smile, "What do you think? Write more, read more, think more, that's it!"
This is the snake oil answer.
But it is also the most practical answer.
Yu Qianqian is nineteen years old this year, and he gradually admires Zheng Qian with his eyes.
His teacher said the same thing!
His teacher is a professor from Donghai Conservatory of Music!
Sure enough, the simplest is the most profound.
So in the next three days, in addition to the loser Zhang Guoran, Zheng Qian was accompanied by Yu Qianqian. The three of them ate and learned to use the toilet almost inseparable, making other people comment on it.
"Have these three formed an alliance?"
"That's it, Zhang Guoran. He and Zheng Qian were friends from the beginning. Yu Qianqian is the most popular player in the East China Sea Division, but he also fell?"
"Zheng Qian is so strong. He has many fans and is almost the most popular in the training camp. He feels like the protagonists on the Internet. His whole body was shaken, and his domineering aura escaped. Yu Qianqian instantly surrendered..."
"To be honest, I also want to share a dormitory with Zheng Qian..."
"I think so too, I have fair skin and thin legs..."
"vomit!"
The more Yu Qianqian comes into contact with Zheng Qian, the more he feels that this elder brother is powerful.
Especially at the beginning of the class, no matter how high the music director's piano was, Zheng Qian's treble was as high as it was. When the test started again, from the lowest bass to the highest treble, Zheng Qian suddenly went up sixteen keys!
The whole audience was shocked!
This is because Zheng Qian's own bass is average and he cannot detect the lowest bass, otherwise it will rise even more fiercely!
But even so, Zheng Qian's high notes in the entire training camp were unrivaled among all the others. Those players who claimed to have invincible high notes in the past almost all had broken voices if they tried to challenge them.
The music directors were also deeply impressed by Zheng Qian. They used Zheng Qian as a template every time and warned everyone to follow Zheng Qian's example: "Look at Zheng Qian..."
In addition, Zheng Qian's lung capacity and professional vibrato and falsetto are so skillful that the directors' hearts tremble.
"This **** is a living king-level singer!"
"It's so mature. It's indeed twice-cooked pork that has been around for many years!"
“It turns out that twice-cooked pork is also very fragrant!”
"On the real-time popularity list of Kuran Music Network, Zheng Qian has never fallen out of the first place since he entered the list. This is terrible!"
"I searched the Internet for news from Hong Kong. Brother Qian's album "Master Qian Qian" has been sold out in Hong Kong. It has been liked by many fans!"
"I also found the link on the Internet last night. I like "Really Love You" the most, it's so good!"
"'Red Sun' is now at the top of RTHK's song-request chart. It's amazing!"
"This is an idol!"
Yu Wei felt a little complicated as she listened to the other players' whispering discussions.
During class, she frequently looked at the many players surrounding Zheng Qian, Yu Qianlian and others in the practice room, biting her lips and not knowing what she was thinking.
It wasn't until get out of class was about to end that Yu Wei finally plucked up the courage and walked up to Zheng Qian: "Brother Qian, let me meet you. My name is Yu Wei."
Zheng Qian looked up at Yu Wei and smiled: "Hello."
Then he continued to discuss singing and vocal issues with Yu Qianqian and others.
Others around felt something was wrong, and the voices of discussion gradually became quieter.
Yu Wei felt left out for an instant, and felt a little anxious, so she blurted out: "Brother Qian, I know there is a gap between you and our company, but although I am an artist of Huaying Media, the decisions of the company's senior management have nothing to do with me, and I have nothing to do with it.
I won't listen to them and go against you, so you shouldn't look at me through colored glasses..."
The air became quiet.
Everyone looked over.
There were surprises and strangeness on people's faces. Even Zhang Guoran was a little puzzled. Was he suffering from persecution paranoia?
Zheng Qian looked around, then smiled at Yu Wei and said, "Isn't it wrong for you to say such things in public? And I don't have to look at you with colored glasses!"
Yu Wei gritted her teeth and her eyes quickly turned red: "Then why did you ignore me just now..."
Zheng Qian looked strange.
At this time, Yu Qianqian whispered to Zheng Qian: "Brother, please ignore her. When we were in the East China Sea Division, she always regarded me as her opponent YY. She said several times that I looked down on her. One day she will make me regret it.
Or something like that, you said this person usually likes to watch messy porn, but if you have to bring it into reality, he will secretly rub it all day long without knowing what he is doing..."
