The finals of "Chinese Idol" will begin soon, with more than 2,000 spectators starting to enter the venue.
As the championship game gets closer and closer, the atmosphere among the fans is becoming more and more tense.
Today, the popularity of the top eight players can be said to be rising rapidly. Not only Zheng Qian, but the fans of the other seven players are also growing by leaps and bounds. They are Su Jing, Yu Qianlian, Zhang Qiusheng, Jiang Ruolin, Wei Yifan, Yu Wei, and Song Zixun.
.
The popularity of each contestant is now comparable to that of top-tier singers.
You know, the topics in the music industry in the past two months have basically revolved around them. For college, middle and primary school students across the country, "Chinese Idol" can be said to have occupied their entire summer vacation in 2004.
This is the first nationwide talent show, with over 100 million viewers. It is not only popular in China, but also has many overseas media following and reporting on this show. "Chinese Idol" programs often appear in TV news in Japan, South Korea and other places.
Backstage, lounge.
The top eight players gathered together with a contract in front of them.
Just now, Li Dongtian, general manager of Tianhao Shengshi and director of "Chinese Idol", distributed these eight intended contracts to everyone.
Everyone took a quick look and found that the content of the contract basically required the players to sign into Tianhao Shengshi after the event.
There are two years, five years and ten years written in the contract, and each period represents a different allocation of resources.
The longer it takes to sign, the more resources will be skewed.
For example, popular programs such as "Happy Camp" and "The More You Test, the Happier You Are" are guaranteed to be recorded once a month.
For example, some TV drama roles, as well as the most basic record contracts, etc., Tianhao Shengshi will do its best to support them.
At this moment, all the players looked at Zheng Qian, as if Zheng Qian suddenly became the backbone.
"Brother Qian, do you want to sign?" Yu Qianqian couldn't help but ask.
Zheng Qian frowned.
He expected this scene, but he didn't expect it to happen so quickly. Before it even reached the real arena, Li Dongtian couldn't hold it in any longer.
Among the top eight, Zheng Qian, Yu Wei, and Zhang Qiusheng have their own companies. If they sign this contract, the liquidated damages will be a huge amount. However, Li Dongtian said that this part of the liquidated damages will be fully paid by Tianhao Shengshi.
bear.
When he came on stage, everyone was a little confused when he came out like this.
Suddenly, Zhang Qiusheng bit off the cap of his pen, picked up the pen and signed his name on the contract of intent. While signing, he sneered: "There is nothing wrong with signing into Tianhao Shengshi. With the support of Xiangnan TV Station, there will be a shortage of you."
Resources? If you don’t sign, just wait until you are eliminated!”
Another contestant Song Zixun also signed his name with a smile: "Actually, you don't have to think so much. Ever since I started participating in this show, I knew that there would be such a day sooner or later. We have no choice, and the most important thing is that you
Maybe we haven’t figured it out yet, even if we sign this intention contract, it’s not certain whether we can sign a formal contract!”
"Zixun is right. This is just a contract of intention, which does not restrict us much. What Li Dongtian wants is our attitude."
Jiang Ruolin also signed her name.
When Wei Yifan saw this, although he felt a little uncomfortable, his awareness of the law was weak, so he still signed the intention contract.
In fact, deep down in their hearts, they feel that the Shonan TV station is a big business and has so many resources. Even though it is a start-up company, it has broad prospects and will not rip off young singers like themselves.
In the end, only Zheng Qian, Yu Qianqian, Su Jing and Yu Wei were left without signing.
Yu Wei looked a little nervous: "I don't really want to sign."
Everyone expressed their understanding that Huaying Media, the company behind Yu Wei, is one of the largest companies in the industry. Although Tianhao Shengshi is backed by Hunan Satellite TV, it is a start-up company after all. At this stage, Huaying Media is obviously stronger, and with its reputation
Yu Wei has gained a lot of popularity in "Chinese Idol". After the competition, she will be highly praised when she returns to her original company and leaves. There is no need to take this risk.
Su Jing tilted her head and thought for a while, then said hesitantly: "I don't know whether signing or not will have a decisive impact on the game..."
Zheng Qian looked at her: "Do you want to win?"
"think!"
"Then sign it!"
Su Jing was stunned and suddenly signed her name quickly.
Then he turned over this simple intention contract and pressed it lightly with a pen.
Then, she looked at Zheng Qian silently.
Zheng Qian smiled, turned the cap of his pen, and glanced at Yu Qianqian.
Yu Qianqian was quiet for a long time, and finally gritted his teeth and signed his name.
But he turned to Zheng Qian and said: "Brother Qian, we have no choice but to sign. But brother Qian, you should be cautious. With your current popularity, no matter where you go, you will be sought after. Many big companies want you."
…”
Zheng Qian didn't speak. He just closed the pen cap and put it on the table. He raised his watch and took a look at it. He said, "The live broadcast will start soon. Everyone, please get ready! I'm going to the bathroom!"
After Zheng Qian left the lounge and looked at the contract of intent lying quietly on the table, the other seven players all had complicated expressions.
Brother Qian didn’t sign!
At this moment, even Zhang Qiusheng admired Zheng Qian. Is he going to openly confront Li Dongtian?
In addition, Yu Wei was almost crying.
She didn't sign it either!
At this time, she already had an ominous premonition in her heart.
This time eight into six, she will definitely occupy one of the spots.
As for Brother Qian, Yu Wei is not sure whether he will also be eliminated.
Because Zheng Qian's current strength and popularity are definitely among the top three in the standard, it is not an exaggeration to even win the championship directly. If he is eliminated in this game, the impact and consequences will definitely be explosive, and the angry people will
The number of complaints from Xiangnan Satellite TV was overwhelming.
There has been precedent for this before.
At this moment, the seven players have their own thoughts in their hearts.
Soon, it was attracting the attention of audiences across the country.
The program officially launched.
This time, the rules of the competition are based on a lottery system, divided into four groups, with two teams competing against each other. The losing players are divided into two groups again, and PK continues. Players who lose again will be eliminated directly.
Simple, brutal, fair and transparent.
In addition, thirty-five public judges also arrived in time.
Everyone's face is full of excitement. These people are the lucky ones selected by Xiangnan Satellite TV through various channels. They have various occupations, including nurses, professors, hawkers, college students...
Although the three professional judges are all consistently strong, their status in the circle is at the top.
Among them is Liu Huan, a professor at Beijing Music University, a famous original musician and music educator.
There is also Wei Yehong, a popular and powerful singer who is affiliated with the Kongzheng Art Troupe.
And Han Lei, a powerful singer in the music industry who has participated in the CCTV Spring Festival Gala six times in a row.
Han Lei himself was also a civilian cadre in the Second Artillery Art Troupe at the deputy division level, two levels higher than Wei Yehong.
Two big figures from the art troupe and a highly respected senior in the industry suddenly came, which raised the level of the entire program a lot.
Among them, Wei Yehong and Zheng Qian were old acquaintances. The two had just collaborated on the theme song "As Long as I Have You" for "Young Bao Zheng". They came to be judges this time and did not mention it to Zheng Qian. When they met backstage, Zheng Qian
They were all shocked.
Then, under the introduction of Wei Yehong, Zheng Qian got to know Mr. Liu Huan and Mr. Han Lei briefly, and they all expressed praise and appreciation for Zheng Qian.
Suddenly getting to know the two big guys, Zheng Qian straightened his back instantly. When he returned to the lounge, he looked at the contract of intent and didn't care at all.
He crossed his arms nonchalantly for a moment.
In the audience, Li Dongtian flipped through the eight intention contracts in his hand and fell into deep thought.
Almost everyone signed it.
Only Zheng Qian and Yu Wei did not sign.
In fact, Li Dongtian doesn't really care whether Yu Wei signs or not.
The first is that the agency behind Yu Wei is very powerful, and Li Dongtian had no intention of signing her.
Huaying Media's amount of liquidated damages is no joke, it is absolutely an astronomical sum. What's more, she is also at the bottom among the eight contestants. To get to where she is today, three points depend on strength and seven points depend on luck.
Zheng Qian didn't sign, which was actually what Li Dongtian expected.
But now that my guess has been confirmed, I suddenly feel quite troubled.
It can be said that the contracts of these seven people combined are not worth the value of Zheng Qian alone.
The industry's valuation of the small company Yuexiang Entertainment ranged from over 10 million at the beginning to 30 million later.
Now, it has doubled again, approaching 70 million.
If Zheng Qian wins the "Chinese Idol" championship in one fell swoop, it is not impossible for Yuexiang Entertainment to be valued at over 100 million.
It can be said that the valuation of this company depends entirely on Zheng Qian alone.
This huge value has made all capital jealous. Every day, the number of calls to Yuexiang Entertainment Company is overwhelming. Many big capitals want to invest in it. However, from the beginning to the end, Yuexiang Entertainment has not accepted external financing.
Such a unicorn really makes many people in the industry envious.
Li Dongtian is also greedy.
Logically speaking, as the chief director of "Chinese Idol", he can definitely control the contestants' necks and determine their subsequent fate.
However, he was taboo about Zheng Qian's military background, and Zheng Qian's huge popularity now made him afraid to act rashly for a while, so he delayed it again and again until now, and finally lost patience and took action to test.
As expected, Zheng Qian did not sign his name.
"It seems that our temple is too small to accommodate a giant Buddha like yours..." Li Dongtian murmured to himself.
At this time, driven by the host's rhythm, the contestants drew lots one by one.
When the lot was drawn, Zhang Qiusheng's lips trembled nervously, fearing that Zheng Qian would be drawn again.
When the audience witnessed this scene, they all burst into laughter.
Fortunately, the contestant Zhang Qiusheng drew was Jiang Ruolin, which made him relieved.
It was only then that he realized that he was sweating profusely and had lingering fears.
For Zheng Qian, Zhang Qiusheng subconsciously had a deep sense of fear in his heart.
Subsequently, Zheng Qian also drew lots.
He will be paired with Song Zixun.
Song Zixun smiled brightly, as if he didn't care about winning or losing at all, and even looked happy. He bowed and nodded to Zheng Qian, "That's great. It's an honor for me to compete on the same stage with my seniors!"
Zheng Qian also smiled and patted Song Zixun on the shoulder to show encouragement.
Song Zixun is still smiling.
This warm picture made everyone in the audience feel good about Song Zixun.
But people are looking forward to Zheng Qian's performance even more.
Because during the rehearsal yesterday, some staff members leaked information to the media.
So many people know that Zheng Qian will give a grand performance today.
This resulted in an upward trend in the overall ratings as soon as the program was launched.
It started with a ratings of 11%.
Qian fans at the scene also waved support flags and shouted Zheng Qian's name loudly.
In front of the huge crowd of humble fans, the fans of other players were like quails, trembling, and the cheering slogans shouted out were weaker than the last.
The first game is the duel between Yu Qianqian and Wei Yifan.
Today, Yu Qianqian does not look like he has just recovered from a serious illness like in the last performance. He is full of life and energy. His various tricky singing skills are difficult for Wei Yifan to resist. In the end, he advanced to the top six with a huge advantage of twelve votes.
The second scene was a duel between Su Jing and Yu Wei. The difference in strength between the two was obvious. Moreover, Su Jing actually sang Zheng Qian's "Left Finger Moon". Her high-pitched characteristics were fully displayed in this song, which made the audience
Everyone was shocked, and there was no doubt that they advanced by nearly 20 votes.
Yu Wei's face was full of frustration. She originally thought that she would be blackmailed, but she didn't expect that the reality gave her a slap in the face.
Weak people are not even qualified to be shady...
At the beginning of the third game, it was Zheng Qian and Song Zixun's turn, with the latter taking the lead.
As a Korean singer who has returned from overseas, Song Zixun's singing, dancing, etc. are almost the same as the artist templates produced by the Korean assembly line. It is also the favorite trend of people in this era, so as soon as he appeared on the stage, he attracted the enthusiastic attention of many people.
Song Zixun is not only the biggest dark horse on the show, but also one of the contestants with the most fans on the show besides Zheng Qian.
Even Zheng Qian had to admit that Song Zixun's basic skills were solid enough, and coupled with his deep enough connections, he still had a chance to stand out even in the fiercely competitive Korean entertainment industry.
However, when you meet yourself, everything is just a cloud...
Two words, slap!
When the whole audience burst into applause.
With everyone watching, Zheng Qian walked to the stage.
The surrounding lights dimmed instantly.
Like an order, the shouts of the audience also disappeared at the same moment.
There was an eerie silence at the scene!
Then, a beam of light hit the stage.
""Chasing Dreams" is for everyone!"
Zheng Qian straightened the microphone stand with one hand and held the microphone with the other hand. He stood there and looked at the audience.
Chasing Dreams with an Innocent Heart? What’s the song title?
People stretched their necks and their eyes were full of expectation!
Zheng Qian took a deep breath and then snapped his fingers to the band teachers in the back row.
The next moment, the clear sound of the piano sounded key after key.
When the drums roar.
When the sound of guitar lingers in people's ears.
When he spoke.
At this moment, it was like an explosion in the clear sky!
The expectations of the audience seemed to turn into streams of electricity at this moment, flowing rapidly through the blood vessels of countless bodies...
"Where is the world full of flowers...
How can you feel the vastness of life without going through hardships?
Destiny cannot make us kneel down and beg for mercy
Even if blood is spilled all over my arms——"
There was a bang, like a blood vessel bursting.
Countless people opened their eyes wide and looked at the figure on the stage shouting to fate...
The singing voice with a hint of metallic texture and the cry of unwillingness to fate are like currents flowing into people's hearts.
It's numb, and the hairs stand on end all over my body!
Many people had sore noses, were stunned for a moment, and then quickly raised their heads.
Feel it!
That feeling of wanting to cry!
An inexplicable emotion began to burn from the bottom of my heart!
"Keep running, with pure pride
How can you see the sparkle of life if you don’t persist to the end?
Instead of lingering
It’s better to indulge! Passion! Burn! Burn!
One day it will sprout again——"
Inexplicably touching.
Liu Huan's eyes suddenly became moist, and he looked a little relieved when he saw Zheng Qian singing to his heart's content on the stage.
He subconsciously turned around and looked at the audience.
At this moment, the singing was still continuing, but the entire studio was strangely showing two extremes.
Some older audience members' eyes were red and moved when they listened to this song.
In order to cover up his embarrassing emotions, some experienced men even lowered their heads, as if they did not want others to see the tears streaming down their face.
But some younger children looked confused.
Obviously, these teenage boys and girls have no empathy at all for Zheng Qian's song.
Compared with this song "Chasing Dreams", they seem to prefer songs like "Nocturne".
"This song is just so-so, right? As for such an exaggerated reaction?"
"I don't understand it at all. It's not as good as "Love in BC"!"
"That's right, I feel the same as you! His "Nocturne" sounds so shocking. I can't listen to this song at all. It's so substandard!"
"Oh, you are so talented and willful!
"The lyrics are okay, but Zheng Qian has gone astray, right? Does he feel that he is famous so he doesn't work hard anymore and comes up with such a song to fool us? No! We can't make him proud. After the show is over, I
I’m going to the forum to pretend to be a negative fan!”
Seeing the dissatisfaction of this group of young children, a man about thirty-four or five years old couldn't bear it any longer. He slapped a boy next to him who was muttering and shouted angrily: "Shut up, no!"
If you understand, don't talk nonsense! Can you understand this song? How old are you and how many things have you experienced?"
This violent act immediately offended the group of complaining teenagers and girls.
Their eyes widened, and each one of them shouted with indignation: "Hey, uncle, why are you still beating people?"
"This song is really average, why don't you tell the truth?"
"Do you know it's illegal for you to bully minors?"
"I'm telling you, if you hit him again, believe it or not, I'll call the police!"
The middle-aged man sneered, slapped the boy next to him on the back of the head, and said viciously: "It's natural for me to beat my son, what's the matter? My kid, don't you want to call the police? You go! Don't go? Then you still have something else to do.
What do you want to say?"
I beat my son?
A group of teenagers and girls looked at the middle-aged man and boy, and then they discovered the similarity between their eyebrows.
And the boy who just followed the crowd and expressed his dissatisfaction with Zheng Qian's new song was now embarrassed, silent, and no longer dared to say the bad things before.
Seeing that the group of children were silent, the middle-aged man sneered and said, "It's just that your parents are not here, otherwise you wouldn't be able to run away after a beating based on your virtue."
The boys and girls were a little dissatisfied when the middle-aged man pointed their noses at him and taught him a lesson.
Suddenly, their sleeves were pulled by their companions. They turned around in confusion and saw their companions pointing to the location of the professional judging seats.
The three professional judges all had red eyes at this moment.
While listening to the song, Han Lei wiped the corners of his eyes with his hands, looking touched.
The faint smile that had been hanging on Wei Yehong's face had long since disappeared. At this time, she was looking at the stage with wide eyes, trying hard to listen to the song, as if she didn't want to miss it for a second.
Although Liu Huan was the calmest, his eyes were obviously moist under the brim of his hat.
Even these celebrities were moved by Zheng Qian's singing. Is it true that I am not mature enough to appreciate the beauty of this song?
"Run forward, facing the cold eyes and ridicule
How can you feel the vastness of life without going through hardships?
Destiny cannot make us kneel down and beg for mercy
Even if blood is spilled all over my arms——"
When the chorus sounded again, the boys and girls began to slowly quiet down.
Listening carefully this time, they heard a slightly different flavor.
Although the singing voice has no technical skills and can even be described as a dry howl, doesn't Zheng Qian's screaming voice express the process and determination of "chasing dreams" in the lyrics?
Even if the road ahead is extremely difficult, don’t be discouraged!
Even if you face cold looks and ridicule, even if you are bruised and bruised, you still believe that one day you will reach the other side of your dream!
For a time, the children put their emotions into the singing, and gradually they began to understand something but not quite...
Don't be afraid of spitting impulsively and splattering the microphone or other people.
Don’t be afraid of a ferocious face, with a mouth bigger than your face!
Because those who run forward don’t care at all what posture they are in!
…
When the song ended, there was very little applause, and everyone seemed to be still immersed in the singing.
But not long after, thunderous applause broke out.
At the judging table, the three professional judges all stood up. They looked at Zheng Qian, said nothing, and just clapped vigorously...
With them taking the lead, all the audience felt the same and couldn't help but stand up.
At this moment, people shouted, screamed, and clapped, as if they were trying their best to give this wonderful performance all their love.
Audiences across the country also came to their senses and looked at the figure on the TV with shock in their hearts.
So I couldn't help but applaud.
This song is full of inspiration for life!
How can you see the sparkle of life if you don’t persist to the end?
