Chapter 184 "Singer 2022" is broadcast, and the whole network is calling for help: Frog, it's time to go to battle and show the foreigners some color
"Who is Lin Yi~", Jiang Nan pondered, putting on a full attitude.
"who is it?"
SL's CEO Song Puxian's eyes widened and he looked very eager.
Jiang Nan shook his head: "I can't say~"
"Can't tell?" Song Puxian was mad, "Why can't I tell you? Youye, don't you know the value of a composer like this?"
Youye is Jiang Nan’s English name, which sounds very nice when transliterated into Chinese.
He said earnestly:
"Youye, a composer like this can only play the greatest role in the hands of the company! We have the ability to provide him with a better platform and resources. If possible, I can recruit him into the company and give him the best treatment. So, please be sure to tell me more about Lin Yi."
It’s no wonder that Song Puxian was so excited.
The girl group under SL has not been on the music charts for several years, and they can't even make it into the top ten. The only two times they made it were last year's "Queen's Card" and this year's "Sorry, Sorry", and neither of them were songs obtained through the company's channels.
Therefore, Song Puxian is now eager to recruit talents.
But Jiang Nan didn't want to say it.
Firstly, she secretly didn't want to share Cheng Cheng with anyone else. Her good brother was her little secret.
Moreover, there is competition within the company, and it is not as easy as Song Puxian said. Now Cheng Cheng only writes songs for her, but it is not certain after joining the company. He has no power to assign the songs to anyone.
Secondly, his good brother also asked her not to tell anyone.
Jiang Nan: "President, it's not that I don't want to tell you, he told me not to tell anyone, and do you think someone like him would be interested in joining the company?"
Song Puxian was speechless.
Jiang Nan said: "But please rest assured, President, I will convey your words to him. If there is nothing else, I will go to training first."
After saying that, Jiang Nan walked out of the office.
Song Puxian looked at the closed door, feeling helpless and furious!
Madness!
How arrogant!
If it weren't for Jiang Nan's family background that he couldn't afford to offend, he would have dealt with this rude guy long ago!
But the problem is that he can't afford to offend!
Jiang Nan's family background is not just about having a little money, but also about the second largest cinema chain in Tianxia.
If artists under SL Company want to develop in China, they have to pay tribute to Jiang Nan’s father and follow Jiang Nan’s father’s connections.
And it's not that simple. The Jiang family also has connections with the Revitalization Institute of the Peninsula. If Jiang Nan suffers any grievance in the company, within an hour a director-level figure from the Revitalization Institute will come to question him. In serious cases, the Revitalization Institute will even order the entire SL company to rectify.
"Eh~"
Song Puxian suddenly thought of one thing: the second half of the year will be the most important stage for Peninsula Girls Group to promote their songs.
At this time, no matter whether it is a first-generation group, a second-generation group, a third-generation group, a fourth-generation group, or a fifth-generation group, as long as the girl group is still active, they will participate in the annual popularity ranking.
In recent years, due to bad luck, SL generally only launches one or two leading groups and gathers all the company's resources to compete for good rankings. For example, the ST group that Jiang Nan is in is generally left alone because they will not get a good ranking even if they participate.
ST can’t even be considered top-notch among the fifth-generation groups, let alone among all girl groups?
But this year is different~
Song Puxian thought:
Isn't there a mysterious composer helping Youye? Since she doesn't want to tell them, why not send them to promote the song? Isn't this a form of exploitation?
He was proud of his own intelligence.
-
After leaving the president's office, Jiang Nan came to the training room.
Some girls are training.
In the Peninsula, it is very difficult to debut as an idol.
To become an ordinary trainee, the elimination ratio is 800:1; to become a trainee of SL company, the elimination ratio is 4000:1.
But that's not all. After becoming a trainee, the practice time is even more than 16 hours a day! Whether you can debut depends on whether your ability can pass the company's assessment!
The time of debut varies according to the company. Some can debut in a year or two, while others may have to practice for 15 years before debuting.
Therefore, those who can become official members of a girl group are the most popular among the most popular. No one wants to waste the opportunity to debut, and every girl wants to become an idol that everyone pays attention to.
However, for girls from ordinary families, becoming famous may be the beginning of darkness.
At this time, Jiang Nan's teammates were doing push-ups. Yes, the trainees of Peninsula Girls Group also had to do push-ups like the male trainees.
Although the boy and girl groups of Peninsula are often ridiculed by Tianxia netizens, it is undeniable that in terms of professional ability, Peninsula idols are much stronger than those of domestic entertainment, and the training intensity is much greater.
Jiang Nan took off his clothes, revealing his sports bra, and followed his teammates to do a set of exercises, including push-ups, hand-to-hand exercises, crunches, and dance practice.
She and her teammates didn't stop until they were sweating profusely.
Jiang Nan's sports bra was already wet, and his hair was stuck to his neck. He walked to the water dispenser, poured a glass of water, and drank it up.
Park Meihui asked, "Nannan, what does the president want to ask you for?"
Jiang Nan: "Isn't it just about asking who wrote the song?"
Park Meihui's eyes sparkled: "Then tell him no."
Jiang Nan: "How is that possible? Why would I tell him?"
At this time, Li Xiaoying came over and said exaggeratedly: "He is the president~"
Jiang Nan raised his eyebrows and said proudly, "President, I won't hide it from you. My good brother also runs a film and television company. It's not worse than ours. In a few years, it will be better than ours. In the future, you can come to Tianxia to develop, and I will protect you~"
Lin Xier said excitedly: "Nannan, you are talking about Cheng Cheng Oppa, right?"
Jiang Nan asked: "Do you know?"
Lin Xier and Li Xiaoying said in unison: "Of course I know!"
Even Park Mi-hui couldn't help but say:
"Director, actor, idol, singer, writer, Sung Cheng oppa is very popular in the Peninsula. Many young people in the Peninsula like him. Some people watched "King of Masked Singer" on the Internet and called for him to be brought here. I heard that a TV station has already contacted him."
Li Xiaoying looked at Jiang Nan enviously and said:
"Nannan, you are so amazing. Your father is the owner of a cinema chain, and your best friend is a super idol and a businessman. Why can't I get such a lucky chance~"
Jiang Nan chuckled.
Not to mention anything else, just relying on these two men who are closest to her, she can walk sideways in the entertainment circle. And this is just when Cheng Cheng's career is just starting out. It is even more difficult to imagine what the situation will be like in a few years.
However, she is not someone who relies on others for everything. She also works very hard. She is the hard-working Jiang Jiang!
Jiang Nan: "It's not that exaggerated~"
"In short~"
The three girls placed their hands on Jiang Nan's shoulders, looking as if they were entrusting him with an important task, and said seriously:
"Nannan, the future of the three of us depends on you!"
Jiang Nan: "Please, you have to work hard on your own!"
But the three girls pretended not to hear and continued talking to themselves.
Li Xiaoying: "Nan Nan also helped a lot with this album. Only "Sorry, Sorry" became popular in the album."
Jiang Nan: "I regret it!"
Lin Xier: "In a sense, our youngest is more reliable than the company. It seems that I will have to ask our Nan Nan for help with the album release in the future~"
Jiang Nan: "Did you hear that? I regret it!"
Park Mi-hui: "The matter of introducing Sung-sung oppa has also been handed over to Nan-nan, as well as our future development in Tianxia."
Jiang Nan was so angry that he said, "Okay, so that's how you play, right? Look at me tickling you~"
She went forward and hugged Lin Xier, focusing on the itchy spot on Lin Xier's slender waist. Lin Xier laughed so hard that her body shook, and begged for mercy, "I'm wrong, I'm wrong, Nannan, hahahaha, let me go, oh, it's so itchy~ You two come and help me~"
The four girls started laughing.
--domestic.
In recent days, the publicity and promotion of "Singer 2022" has been overwhelming and sweeping across the country.
The first music reality show, which was broadcast live throughout the show and invited talented singers from home and abroad to compete on the same stage, was very popular.
Netizens' attention was inevitably drawn to the show, and even some of the popularity of "Love Apartment" was diverted.
In the promotional copy, Xiangjiang TV also secretly criticized "King of Masked Singer", emphasizing that its own program is the "first-tier" and "entirely" live-streamed music reality show.
What this means is that although the last episode of "King of Masked Singer" is also in the form of live broadcast, it is not the "first show" because it is not "live broadcast throughout".
Although this was not said by Xiangjiang Satellite TV officially, but by a marketing account, those who understand will understand that it is nothing more than a cover. Everyone knows who is behind this marketing account. Finally, this marketing account also said that "Singer 2022" is the return of a strong player and will definitely be more exciting than "King of Masked Singer".
Friday finally marks the premiere day of "Singer 2022".
Backstage.
Hong Min held a small meeting.
He glanced at all the responsible persons and said seriously:
"The broadcast of "Singer 2022" not only concerns the reputation of our program team, but also the future and status of our entire TV station! This time, no one can stop us! We must win, we must surpass "King of Masked Singer", and we must not lose. Do you hear me?!"
"I heard it!" everyone shouted in unison.
Hong Min assigned tasks to everyone:
"Network supervision team, you must ensure the smoothness and security of online live broadcasts, monitor network conditions in real time, and prevent any problems that may affect the quality of live broadcasts."
"Publicity team, you must continue to increase your publicity efforts. An overwhelming effect is not enough. What I want is pervasive penetration! At the same time, you must also be prepared for crisis response. Once negative public opinion emerges, you must quickly take measures to respond."
"And the guest team, you have to do a good job of communicating and coordinating with the singers."
"."
"In a word!" Hong Min finally emphasized, "Singer 2022 means a lot to us! We don't allow any mistakes or compromises! We must speak with strength and prove it with results! We must win! And we will definitely win!"
"Okay! Work!"
At his command, everyone walked out of the office.
The live broadcast of "Singer 2022" has begun!
At the same time, countless viewers in Tianxia sat in front of their TVs, and countless people in the industry also cast their eyes over.
Five domestic singers and two foreign singers took turns to perform.
Two hours later, the premiere of "The Singer 2022" ended, and the entire Chinese Internet exploded!
Two foreign singers ranked first and second, while five domestic singers ranked third to sixth. For a time, the Internet was full of ridicule for these five singers and the entire Tianxia music scene:
"It's shameful, so shameful! How could you sing so badly?!"
"In fact, Cheng Haixiao's singing skills have always been mediocre, at the level of a passerby KTV singer."
"The Tianxia music scene has always been quite conservative and closed-door, but this time the comparison is more direct. And people always say that the current Tianxia music scene lacks singer-songwriters but not great vocals. Is there a possibility that we lack both?"
"It hurts my heart. Xiangjiang TV slapped the audience in the face. We lack both creative and vocal talents!"
"The main problem with the Tianxia music scene is that there is a lack of fresh blood. I don't even require them to be singer-songwriters, just one of those things will do. On the other hand, in Europe and America, there are too many fresh bloods, batch after batch, and the replacement is too fast."
"That's the correct answer. None of the so-called pop singer-songwriters in China have the same creative passion and talent as Fo Nu and Linton."
"This is really Grammy vs. music festival."
"I was hit by a dimensionality reduction attack from European and American singers."
"There aren't many albums of this kind released in China, there aren't many songs worth listening to, and they can't sing well live. They've really been spoiled."
"Xiangjiang TV did a great job, it really tore off the fig leaf of the Tianxia music scene! I'm worried that a foreign singer will come to challenge in the next show, and there will be no place for Tianxia singers in the top three. This show is simply a disastrous defeat for the Chinese music scene! But this is good, only by facing up to the gap can we catch up! The entire domestic entertainment industry should roll up!"
"We really need to catch up slowly in terms of soft power. For music and movies, it's just that there's no World Cup, so it's not intuitive to compare. The level of domestic entertainment in the world is about the same as that of the Chinese national football team."
Some netizens made fun of it, some cursed, some took the lead in reflecting, and some even started to reflect on Tianxia’s education and racial differences. However, there were also smart people who saw through Xiangjiang TV’s routine:
"Xiangjiang TV is taking a risky move. The singers' stage has lost its popularity, and many talented singers have either been there before or look down on this stage. However, the international singers invited by Xiangjiang TV this time are all well-known, so the pressure is put on the mainland. The strong lineup will arouse the desire of some talented singers to compete on the same stage, and also arouse the desire of some patriotic singers to protect the Tianxia music scene. What's more, if it attracts the attention of the higher-ups, they may 'select' them to compete to stabilize the situation."
“Xiangjiang TV did it on purpose!
First of all, the domestic singers we found are not suitable.
Bettina passed the musical theater audition in high school and studied classical vocal music in college. She is a true professional and a big name in rhythm and blues.
Kacha, a rising new musician, is a typical European and American vocal singer with bright high notes and sweet voice.
We need to select singers who match our standards in China!
Let’s not talk about anything else, just look at the singers in “King of Masked Singer”, who couldn’t come?
Cheng Cheng, Xu Lin, Xi Xiang, Yin Shu, Yu Chun, any one of them can fight against us!
Not to mention the monster Cheng Cheng, who would just kill people when he came.
As a result, among the domestic singers in this issue, Zhan Fang barely qualifies as a domestic big shot with superb singing skills. As for the others, Sui Ping is a singer-songwriter who is not known for his singing skills, and An Rui is close to folk singers.
None of them is famous for their singing skills, so none of them is suitable.
This situation was deliberately created by Xiangjiang TV.”
Some netizens have seen through it, but it’s useless!
This is how Xiangjiang TV plays. If it doesn’t play this way, how can it be popular? If it doesn’t play this way, how can it surpass “King of Masked Singer”?
After the broadcast of "Singer 2022", netizens' discussion on the program has risen from the ordinary music level to the national level. There is a feeling of "the nation is in a critical moment of survival", and the whole network is calling for saviors.
It has to be said that Xiangjiang TV is indeed a master at manipulating public opinion.
As netizens called on people across the network, some singers responded to the netizens' requests, saying that they were unable to come due to something or that they were having a concert; some singers took the initiative to volunteer and asked to be on the show to fight against the foreign enemies.
But no matter what form or response, it has brought popularity to the show "Singer 2022".
In just two days, "The Singer 2022" dragged the entire Tianxia music scene into trouble.
Among them, Cheng Cheng was the one who was tagged the most.
Netizens launched a vote, and Cheng Cheng was ranked first on the list.
The second one is fucking Li Huowang!
"Cheng, I'm in danger, save me quickly! - Fang"
"Stop training the troops, it's time to fight the foreigners!"
"Brother Frog, come and save the old man!"
"Please, we really can't afford to lose face. You are the only one we can think of at this time. Please give the foreign singers a little shock. Use your dolphin voice to give them a high note that can destroy the world."
"Wangwang, please come to the singer to save Sister Fang. She is fighting against the foreign coalition forces alone and is really about to fall apart."
"Come on, let's show foreign singers our Tianxia's true strength!"
"Frog, it's time to go out and teach the foreigners a lesson."
"Cheng Cheng performed an opera 2, and the situation turned around in an instant, without even having to play the Internationale."
Many people want to see Cheng Cheng on Singer and beat up the foreigners, but some haters know that Cheng Cheng will definitely not participate, so they come out to control the comments and say they don’t want to see him:
"Although Frog Brother has a high reputation, can Xiangjiang TV afford him? In the past year, Frog Brother has not appeared in any show other than his own, and has not accepted any endorsements. Frog Brother just wants to be a quiet handsome man and do some creative work. In addition, Frog Brother's concert is also being prepared. If you want to feel the charm of a top vocalist, just go and listen and you will know. The local TV station's music variety show has brought shame to Tianxia, so just work harder on your own."
"Let Frog go, and let the kid have more concerts."
"Although I want Cheng Cheng to go, but he is busy with concerts and movies and doesn't have time."
"Let's get some young people involved. Brother Frog is at the nuclear bomb level. Why use a butcher knife to kill a chicken?"
"That's right. It's not Brother Frog's turn to appear at this time."
"Yes, don't Q our Frog Brother, he has a grudge against Xiangjiang TV."
Xiangjiang Satellite TV also feels that Cheng Cheng is unlikely to participate in "Singer 2022". Firstly, Xiangjiang Satellite TV and Cheng Cheng have a grudge, and secondly, Cheng Cheng really doesn't like variety shows.
Therefore, under this circumstance, Xiangjiang Satellite TV began to buy announcements to discredit Cheng Cheng: They said that Cheng Cheng didn't come not because he didn't have time, but because he didn't dare to come. The Dolphin Sound is only popular in China and the Russians, but in the European and American markets where pop music is more mature, people don't even look down on it.
By blackening Cheng Cheng, the popularity of "Singer 2022" will continue to increase.
Because they were certain that Cheng Cheng would never come to participate in "The Singer".
Of course, if Cheng Cheng came to participate, it would be even better, because with Cheng Cheng's huge traffic, he would definitely bring huge ratings to "The Singer". Cheng Cheng's reaction helped them, so they won't lose out~
