Chapter 171: Once You Were You

Early the next morning, Zheng Qian came to the signing meeting.

The venue was in a small theater, the stage was emptied, and the seats under the stage were filled with fans who had come to the event.

Like South Korea, Yuben also has a mature signing system, all fans have detailed information registration, and has a membership system, eliminating the possibility of idle people.

The number tickets required to participate in the signing were also contacted by phone on the same day and distributed to the first 100 buyers.

In other words, Zheng Qian only needs to sign autographs for a hundred fans and friends at the scene.

This is the most relaxed since participating in so many signing meetings, Zheng Qian signed very diligently, and shook hands with fans and friends on the scene.

The fans of Yuben looked restrained, and after signing the name, they bent down to express their gratitude, and no one shouted during the whole process, and the whole theater was surprisingly quiet.

It didn't look like a signing party at all, and in this case, Zheng Qian's voice couldn't help but become smaller, and he felt a little depressed emotionally.

After the signing was over, Chen Zongze suddenly came to tell Zheng Qian a message.

It turned out that last night's "No Man's Island" randomly sung at Sensoji Temple actually appeared on the morning news report of Yuben, although it was only a few short sentences of introduction, and it was not noticeable, but it spread in the fan forum of Yuben, and I heard that "Chinese male singers sing and cry passers-by under the tower in Tokyo", for a while, there were posts asking for resources everywhere.

Zheng Qian didn't take it seriously.

After the signing meeting, Zheng Qian and his entourage returned to China, conducted another signing sale in Macao, and hurried back to Xiangnan.

According to the requirements of the "Chinese Idol" program team, Zheng Qian had to participate in the program rehearsal on Thursday, and because Zheng Qian lacked many related activities arranged by the program team, the sponsors of "Chinese Idol" were very dissatisfied.

Li Dongtian personally called Zheng Qian, although there was no accusation in his words, but it was different from the previous jokes, and he showed a sense of distance in and out of his words.

As a result, the signing meeting in the mainland was temporarily postponed, and it could only be carried out after the recording of the latest issue of "Chinese Idol" was completed.

This time, Zheng Qian actually didn't have much preparation, because the schedule this week was really busy to the point of exploding.

So after returning to Shonan, during the rehearsal, Zheng Qian didn't think about it carefully, picked up the guitar and sang a new song by himself.

Even so, when the rehearsal was over, everyone at the scene gave warm applause.

Although Zheng Qian has almost defected all the activities arranged by the program team, many people actually understand Zheng Qian, because everyone knows that Zheng Qian's first official album has been released and is now selling well in Hong Kong.

Yu Qianxi looked at Zheng Qian, who had just finished the rehearsal, with a look of envy.

Not only Yu Qianxi, but other players are also full of admiration for Zheng Qian at this moment.

Zheng Qian's new album has been sold in the mainland, although the pirated source was exposed on the Internet for the first time, losing a lot of sales, but it also made more people hear the songs in Zheng Qian's album.

Most people are not familiar with some of the songs until they see that they are all hanging high on the major download charts and music charts.

It turned out that there were ten songs in this album that Zheng Qian performed when he participated in the auditions for "Singer" and "Chinese Idol".

But because some songs don't have a sound source accompaniment, there has never been a real hit.

Although songs like "Legend" are popular all over the country, the tone is too simplistic.

The remastered version of the album shows great musical richness.

Another example is "Opera 2" and "Love When You Die", songs that have become popular all over the country, and after being remastered, the overall timbre is more full and moving.

So when the album was released, the songs in the album in "Walking on the Road of Life" rushed to the top ten of the major charts with almost unstoppable momentum.

Looking at it, almost all the singer names behind the songs are Zheng Qian.

Even a veteran of the music industry who has been in the industry for many years has never seen this kind of scene, and for a while, everyone in the circle exclaimed.

Even Wei Yehong had to sigh at Zheng Qian's popularity.

To be able to do this, it is no longer simply achieved by the cohesion of fans, but requires a huge number of passers-by.

This also shows that Zheng Qian's songs are also very suitable for ordinary people to listen to.

Li Dongtian also paid attention to this, so even though Zheng Qian was absent from many activities, there was a lot of unhappiness in his heart, but he still did not stop Zheng Qian's trip.

Of course, the biggest reason is because the identity of Zheng Qian's Art Troupe makes him feel tricky.

For Zheng Qian, Li Dongtian's emotions are really love and hate.

On Friday, Zheng Qian relaxed and rested in his temporary hotel, and in the evening, the crucial match began.

"Chinese Idol" is six into five.

At this moment, although it has only been a week, the national audience still remembers the last game, and Zheng Qian's song "Dream Chasing Pure Heart" shocked almost everyone.

The hoarse and cracked voice gave a very high impression to the audience, and the ratings were as high as 14% at one time.

And from this week, "Chinese Idol" has officially entered the countdown to the show.

The program team also officially announced the rewards for the champion, runner-up and third runner-up, in addition to the rewards of RMB 1 million, 500,000 and 300,000, each person will receive a brokerage contract from Tianhao Shengshi.

The contract stipulates that after the end of the show, tens of millions of dollars will be invested to make new records for the three contestants before the show.

In addition, there are six TV drama contracts, four variety shows, and no less than ten well-known domestic manufacturer advertising endorsements.

After this news was exposed, both inside and outside the industry lamented Shonan Satellite TV's generosity.

However, behind such an attractive contract, how many terms that have been criticized by the industry are hidden, even ordinary viewers can imagine the stakes involved.

For example, although the contract period is not as strict as in South Korea, it is said that the starting point is five years.

and the artist's agency share, this is also a huge foreshadowing, even if there are so many advertising endorsements, but how much share can be shared in the hands of the artist in the end?

These are all contents that have not been announced by Tianhao Shengshi.

The maneuverability is too great.

However, the most controversial topic still comes from Zheng Qian.

Everyone knows that Zheng Qian has a unicorn company that almost belongs to him, and because of Zheng Qian's existence, the valuation of this company has been speculated to nearly 50 million yuan.

In this high value-added situation, if Zheng Qian signs into Tianhao Shengshi, it will really be a blood loss.

Therefore, the outside world is very concerned about whether Zheng Qian will agree to sign this contract.

However, whether it is Zheng Qian or Tianhao Shengshi, there is no specific answer to this, and everything may only be answered until the finals are really over.

Although the current Zheng Qian can be said to be the well-deserved first among the players in terms of popularity, and he is the real uncrowned king, the capital side is still in a state of distrust in whether Zheng Qian can win the championship, which can be seen from the odds of major betting sites.

The odds of betting that Zheng Qian will not win the championship have been as high as 7.4 times.

This is a very contrary to the status quo is the thing.

After all, the current Zheng Qian still maintains the first place among the players in popularity.

Even if Su Jing and Yu Qianxi's popularity has risen sharply in the show, the addition of the two is actually not enough for Zheng Qian to fight alone.

That's the reality.

But the odds in reality are so magical.

No one believes that capital loses.

Shonan Satellite TV has invested so much to create "Chinese Idol", it is impossible to only make a dowry for others.

And judging from all the news, Zheng Qian is also a master who is unwilling to suffer.

In addition, Zheng Qian also belongs to the art troupe and has a military background, and under the tough encounter, Zheng Qian is already very likely to be out.

This is also the best ending.

will not offend the art troupe, and the core interests are also preserved.

In fact, Zheng Qian is also mentally prepared for this, but even if he can't win the championship, he will go all out in every game and leave no regrets.

He clearly knows that from now on, it is basically impossible to stand on such a competitive stage.

A few years later, perhaps when I think back to this moment, I still have blood in my heart.

In the evening, 7:40.

In the huge studio of Shonan Satellite TV, thousands of viewers entered in turn.

With the progress of the program, the upgrade of the studio is also getting bigger and bigger, and the entire studio is also brightly lit, and the whole is close to the live broadcast level of the Spring Festival Gala.

At this time, with the countdown of director Li Dongtian, the show officially began.

The first to play are the top six players in the country, namely Zheng Qian, Su Jing, Yu Qianxi, Jiang Ruolin, Zhang Qiusheng, and Song Zixun.

The six people sang the classic song "Moon Bay" by Mr. Liu Huan, and the lyrics probably told the local folk songs of Xiangnan, and when the six sang separately, the whole scene began to sing together.

The field is also heating up.

Subsequently, tonight's judges also appeared one by one and put on a performance.

They are the current popular singer Shen Li, graduated from Mizuki University, a representative of campus folk music, and a palace-level singer.

and, Hong Kong singer Tan Jing.

The godfather of Taiwanese music, Li Kun.

These three are all heavyweight judges, except for Shen Li, who is relatively young, Tan Jing and Li Kun are actually over half a hundred years old and have very deep qualifications.

Among them, Tan Jing also participated in Zheng Qian's birthday banquet in Hong Kong, although it was only a formality, but the two sides also met and knew each other.

But in the show, whether it is Zheng Qian or Tan Jing, they all turn a blind eye to each other.

The three judges sang their own representative songs, which aroused enthusiastic cheers from the audience.

Soon, after thanking the title sponsors and sponsors, the hosts Lin Xiang and He Ling officially began to introduce the rules of this round of competition.

This round is a six-in-five knockout round, the rules of the game are simple and rude, the contestants perform songs in turn, and the contestant with the lowest number of votes is eliminated directly.

The players are drawn in turn.

Zheng Qian ranked third.

The first to play was the player Jiang Ruolin.

Jiang Ruolin's popularity outside the venue has also remained high since the audition, and after so many episodes of the show, Jiang Ruolin has also been called the queen of smoke by fans, her unique voice, plus she can also create, which has attracted many fans who love it.

A self-playing and self-singing song "Hello, Sir" gave full play to her usual smoke voice specialty, attracting the audience to shout and applaud wildly.

Zhang Qiusheng, who was the second to play.

This is the only player on the scene who has had a gap with Zheng Qian, although Zhang Qiusheng is not a person with a small belly, but two fiascos to Zheng Qian have made him have a psychological shadow, and he has been chattering until he got the second place on the field, almost crying with joy.

No way, it's too much pressure.

If he was ranked behind Zheng Qian to perform, Zhang Qiusheng felt that his self-confidence would collapse directly.

Although the repertoire of each of them during the rehearsal was a separate performance in secrecy, all the contestants did not know each other's repertoire, and they could think with their toes, and they also knew what kind of nuclear explosion scene a big demon king like Zheng Qian would bring.

That psychological pressure on the opponent is absolutely devastating.

So when Zhang Qiusheng started performing, the smile on his face was so confident.

not only performed very well, but also played at a super level, the song "City of Love", sang heartfeltly, and when the emotions exploded to the extreme, the macho man cried.

It doesn't matter how you sing it......

This kind of self-touching drama has made many viewers at the scene can't help but give a standing ovation and salute.

Backstage, Yu Qianxi was also a little amazed: "Zhang Qiusheng's strength is very strong, I underestimated him before!"

Su Jing nodded and said seriously: "None of the people who can come this far are weak, what we can do now is to do our best and live up to our efforts......"

The chicken soup for the soul is drunk too much, and the impact feels less great.

Zheng Qian took the tea handed by Wang Gang, rinsed his mouth, moved his muscles and bones, and only heard the clicking sound of the bones on Zheng Qian's body, and there were words in his mouth, obviously reciting the lyrics.

Song Zixun had been silently observing Zheng Qian, and when he saw him grinding his gun, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes.

At this time, after Su Jing encouraged for a while, Zhang Qiusheng just finished the performance.

She immediately turned her head and looked at Zheng Qian: "Brother Qian, come on!"

Yu Qianxi also hurriedly encouraged: "Come on, Brother Qian, look forward to your big explosion!"

Song Zixun said with a smile: "Brother Qian's goal is to be the champion, this is just the top six into five, Brother Qian only needs to show one-tenth of his strength, and he can be promoted steadily!"

Jiang Ruolin also silently cheered Zheng Qian.

Zheng Qianwan, after high-fives with a few people, under the call of the host He Ling, took the guitar handed by Wang Gang, and walked onto the stage in thunderous applause.

This time, the lyrics of the songs he prepared improvised were actually not too familiar.

But it feels like it's perfectly interpreted.

It is a song full of sad emotions, a song of nostalgia for the years of youth and a declaration of no regrets.

It can barely be regarded as light rock, but Zheng Qian thinks it is a ballad, so he is ready to interpret it according to the singing method of a folk song.

"Once You, for you!"
