Backstage at the "Singer" program group, after a whole day of recording, Chen Meiling looked very unhappy.
Another judge, Hu Ruijie, had an equally gloomy expression. When the two met in the corridor, the atmosphere dropped to freezing point.
Cao Wei and the other two judges looked at each other and slowed down their pace.
One is a big name in the industry and a national first-class actor, and the other is the boss of a well-known newspaper and has strong power. They can't afford to offend either of them, so they simply keep silent.
"Meiling, I think we need to have a serious talk."
In the corridor, Hu Ruijie couldn't help but first said: "We are providing talents for the art troupe. Regardless of personal strength, the image must be passed first. After all, the comrades of the art troupe have to take care of the military image when they show up and tour around. Others
Let’s not talk about it. First of all, Zheng Qian is soft and sinister. His figure is like a rib. I can knock down three of them with one punch. He doesn’t have any masculinity of a good man. I can give you a favor and let him advance.
, but he will definitely not be able to reach the finals, let alone get a promotion spot from the art troupe!"
Chen Meiling said coldly: "When you select talents, you only look at image, not strength?"
"strength?"
Hu Ruijie nodded and said: "I admit that Zheng Qian's personal vocal ability is indeed good, but with his ability, our art troupe can definitely pick out four or five of them, not just a handful. There is no need to do anything for Zheng Qian.
The image of the art troupe has become neither yin nor yang."
After hearing this, Chen Meiling looked at the other two judges, only to see them looking up at the sky, as if they had not seen the quarrel here.
She was so angry that she snorted coldly, then turned and left.
At this time, Cao Wei stepped forward and said to Hu Ruijie with a smile: "Editor-in-chief Hu, you still have a profound understanding of this matter. Zheng Duoduo's image is indeed not suitable for joining the art troupe. If he puts on a military uniform, others may think that
All our people's soldiers are such sissies..."
Hu Ruijie looked at him and suddenly felt nauseated. He waved his hand, turned around and left.
Cao Wei felt frustrated and felt a little uncomfortable. He shook his long bangs and continued to get close to the other two judges.
On the other side, after Chen Meiling left the CCTV building, she drove back to the hotel alone. She seemed to have forgotten all the troubles just now and started to wash up.
She hummed a little tune to put water in the bathtub, and she felt like a demon. The more she hummed, the more energetic she became. When the bathtub was filled with hot water, she took off her clothes and lay down in it. She felt the foam on her body was soft and smooth, and slightly
Touch, wow, so uncomfortable.
At the age of thirty-four, her skin is still as white as mutton fat, plump and attractive, and she still looks like a 28-year-old girl. This is due to her extreme maintenance.
Over the years, the money she spent on her skin alone was enough to buy a villa in the capital.
"I'm not a loser, I'm singing a song
My life is also a bit hungry, da da da da da..."
A little annoying.
I can't remember the lyrics.
But it didn't stop her from continuing to sing. After she finished taking a shower, she pondered the song. The more she thought about it, the more she felt that this little brother who could soar high notes and create music was simply unfathomable. Are all artists who have returned from overseas so good?
But that guy Cao Wei looks like a strong man on the outside but a weak man on the inside.
The genius is buried...
Thinking of her little brother's cute appearance, Chen Meiling tapped her fingers on the edge of the bathtub, thoughtfully.
For her, personal image is definitely secondary, and Zheng Qian's strength is definitely worthy of people's attention.
After a while, she picked up the phone and dialed her assistant: "Xiao Wang, please contact the "Singer" program team and give me a copy of today's contestant Zheng Qian's song. Hey, I really like it. Do you still like it?
Don't tell me, this song is really a bit brainwashing. The more I listen to it, the more I feel it. Yes, I'll wait for you in the hotel room."
Soon, assistant Xiao Wang sent Chen Meiling an MP3 containing the song "Lucky One".
Chen Meiling opened her laptop and uploaded the sound source of "The Lucky One" to the computer. Then, while listening to the song, she picked up the phone and ordered a fruit meal in the hotel.
While waiting for the meal, Chen Meiling opened the Qingfeng Music Forum.
This is a newly booming music lovers forum. As the name suggests, it has gathered countless music lovers across the country.
Since the site was launched last year, many music producers have posted song demos on the forum almost every day for their peers to enjoy.
At the same time, this is also the largest collection database of major music copyright websites in China. However, at this stage, when music records are transitioning to the Internet, most people do not have a deep awareness of copyright. Many uploaded song demos are arbitrarily used.
People quote it, but the person being quoted doesn't care, and even secretly rejoices, happy that someone is spreading their music.
Among them, there are even many online songs that became popular overnight, giving birth to many popular music. However, the creators of the songs are always forgotten in the corner.
In the Internet age, weeds are growing like crazy. Most creators create for love, not for fame or fortune, but only out of passion and preference.
When Chen Meiling opened a topic thread with the username "Xiao Feng Can Yue" and put a play link to the sound source of "Lucky Man", the number of views and comments on the topic thread increased at an geometric rate.
"Sofa! The Great God Zan Yue is here!"
"Bench! The Great God Zangyue appears!"
"Basement! Welcome Lord Zangetsu!"
In the Qingfeng Music Forum, Chen Meiling is also a well-known celebrity. The website owner once personally appeared and gave an explanation. Although he did not mention Chen Meiling's true identity, he also revealed from the side that the other party was a big shot in the industry. It also caused a sensation at the time.
"I just heard this song today. I think it's very nice. Please enjoy it."
Chen Meiling replied to several netizens' questions and began to refresh the web page to see if there were any like-minded comrades.
As a result, I only found that a few licking dogs started licking randomly without even listening. Chen Meiling frowned when she saw it. After two or three minutes, finally a serious comment appeared!
Chen Meiling perked up and looked carefully.
"Is this a new song? I've never heard of it! It's a great song! Although the melody is simple, the lyrics are so passionate. It reminds me of the hard work of not giving up in the college entrance examination. This singer's singing is also unique
The style, the soaring high notes made the hairs on my body stand on end, it simply hit the soul, it is definitely an auditory feast that no one should miss!”
"It seems that the master has the same taste in music as I do. I like this song very much. The voice is very young, but full of explosiveness. This is the first time I have seen this kind of singing. I don't know which friend of the master it is? If it is arranged well
, can definitely be heard in the house. However, although this song is good, I personally feel that it is not destined to be sung widely because the requirements for lung capacity are too high. In addition, the singer's high notes are also discouraging. Anyone who wants to
Anyone who imitates this song must consider this carefully, otherwise they will just copy it."
"I like this song very much. It has ups and downs. I listened to it more than a dozen times and couldn't stop crying. So far, I have never cried for a song. I am a senior in college and I still haven't found a job. I have to pay the price for not working hard in college.
.I am not a loser, but I don’t work hard. I pay tribute to everyone who has put in tears and sweat behind every success.”
…
Chen Meiling browsed these comments and felt happy for no reason.
There were almost no negative comments in the entire thread, which gave Chen Meiling some more ideas. She opened QQ instant messaging and sent a message to her friend "Dongtian Paradise": "Mr. Li, didn't your Hunan Satellite TV buy "American Idol" some time ago?
The production copyright?”
Not long after the message was sent, the profile picture of "Dongtian Paradise" flashed:
"Yes, Sister Chen, the show is being prepared and is tentatively named "Chinese Idol". We have invited the original production team of "American Idol" to assist us in producing preliminary content. I contacted you some time ago and would like to invite you to serve as a judge for our show.
You said you were not free..."
"I'm sorry, I really don't have time. You know I am participating in "Singer" now. I have signed a contract with CCTV and I cannot join the same type of program in the short term." Chen Meiling said apologetically.
"Our program is divided into preliminary elections, producer auditions and judges auditions. We are currently preparing to start the preliminary stage. The announcement will continue to follow up. By then we will select contestants from six competition areas across the country. The scale of our program
, is definitely much higher than "Singer", and is even said to be the largest reality show in China so far. You know, "American Idol" has become popular throughout Europe and the United States. We can't just watch those ghost guys stand out, we should also produce
Our own "Chinese Idol"."
Dongtianfudi said sincerely: "Besides, there are still at least two or three months until the final judge audition. I really hope that Sister Chen, you will consider it carefully and join us to make this competition more professional."
"Thank you, I'll think about it."
Chen Meiling said: "But now I can recommend a singer to you."
She immediately sent the sound source of "Lucky One" to Dongtian Paradise.
The message box remained silent for two or three minutes, and then a large number of messages were sent from Cave Heaven Paradise: "Oh my god, who is this great god? This high pitch is amazing!"
"It's not like he's a great god."
Chen Meiling thought of Zheng Qian's appearance and smiled slightly: "Should it be called fresh twice-cooked pork? His name is Zheng Qian. You should have heard of the Korean group [Miracle Boys], right?"
"Zheng Qian? I know this person, but I don't have much impression. He seems to have been tepid in the industry. I didn't expect him to be a senior vocalist. What is his relationship with you?"
"He participated in "Singer" and sang the song "Lucky Man". I was shocked at the time, and this song was his original creation. But you know, the program "Singer" is a bit special. This is for
The cultural troupe is sending some reserve talents and has extremely high requirements for certain conditions. I am not sure whether Zheng Qian can make it to the end..."
"I understand, Sister Chen, I will ask someone to contact him. Such a talent cannot be buried."
