Chapter 50: The Grand Final
As soon as Meng Haitao returned to the company, he looked for Zheng Qian everywhere, he looked excited, and the people in the office hall were surprised.
In the end, Meng Haitao saw Zheng Qian in the practice room, and when he rushed up to a bear hug, he directly hugged Zheng Qian's whole person twenty centimeters off the ground, "Qian'er, brother thank you this time, you really helped me a lot!"
Zheng Qian held a piece of paper and a pen in his hand, and said helplessly: "Brother Tao, put me down first, okay?"
Meng Haitao hugged Zheng Qian twice before he put it down excitedly: "You don't know how important this opportunity is to my brother, and you kid is hiding it very deeply, helping my brother so much and not saying a word, do you want to be ** obscure!"
Zheng Qian smiled, "Yes, you are my brother Tao, who will I help if I don't help you!"
Meng Haitao loosened Zheng Qian's muscles with both hands, and looked courteous: "You have great skills, all the film and television OSTs of "Baolian Lantern" have been taken over by you? The theme song was also written by you? Good guy, why didn't you knock out that you were so talented before, you are simply a high fighter, my brother is really convinced." ”
After speaking, he looked at the scratch paper in Zheng Qian's hand: "Are you busy?
"It's fine. Zheng Qian put down the scratch paper, turned his head and asked, "How is the audition result?" I can only help you get the opportunity to audition, whether you can get this role or not, it depends on you." ”
"It's done, on the way back, the crew called me, and the audition passed, so that I had time to sign the contract in the next two days. Meng Haitao said with emotion: "It's really a poor mountain and a poor water, and there is no way out, and the willows and flowers are bright and another village, Qian'er, we are a small company, not as good as those giant enterprises, it is really good to help each other, and there will be a place for Brother Tao in the future, just open your mouth." ”
Zheng Qian nodded with a smile.
Subsequently, the news that Meng Haitao was hired by the crew of "Baolian Lantern" spread to all corners of the company, and the next day, Meng Haitao signed a contract with the crew of "Baolian Lantern" and officially won the role of Erlang God Yang Jian, and it is expected that a press conference will be held next week to announce the start of filming.
Meng Haitao did not break his promise, and immediately invited the staff of the whole company into the hotel for a meal, Lin Qianqian also rushed back from outside to participate in the party, Meng Haitao was able to win the contract of "Baolian Lantern", which really surprised Lin Qianqian, because the role of Erlang God Yang Jian is very important in the play, almost equivalent to the second male lead, which can be said to be the closest to the protagonist in Meng Haitao's career.
Ke Lan, another signed artist of the company, also took leave from school to participate, Zheng Qian is not the first time to see Ke Lan, but this time it is really face-to-face looking at each other, compared to the diligent and diligent old Niu Meng Haitao on the set, Ke Lan is more cool and sassy, 174 cm tall, so that her whole body looks very tall, delicate, short hair is cool, it is a more alternative neutral style at the moment, cool and very pleasing to Lin Qianqian, and now she is studying in the third year of the Conservatory of Music.
Usually do not come to the company to report, focus on academics, major in cello at the Conservatory of Music, proficient in music creation, during the school has created a number of cello-based pure music repertoire, has also held many solo concerts, although only about 100 people small-scale performances, but in the school is also very popular, belongs to one of the contemporary alumni.
Her voice is actually quite alternative, unlike Zheng Qian, who is good at treble, her bass is relatively magnetic, she can catch people's ears for the first time, and her voice is neutral, she can't distinguish between men and women, but the treble is not good, once the voice is raised, the unique sharpness of women can still be heard.
Therefore, her concerts are basically performance-oriented, and there is rarely time to sing.
Although Zheng Qian is the most popular artist in the company today, Ke Lan did not react enthusiastically when facing Zheng Qian, and still had a cool expression, and only said to Zheng Qian: "I wish Brother Qian the championship!"
The contract she signed with the company was very free, only taking a share of the business, no constraints, no guaranteed salary, and no agent.
Zheng Qian later learned that Ke Lan's dream was to perform at the Grand Theater, and he also admired it, which is a model of only loving art and not money.
And as time passed, the recording time for the finals of "The Singer" also arrived.
The current filming environment does not support the live broadcast of the finals, the risk is too high, and the most worrying thing is not the stage accident, but the more politically risky issues such as the dangerous speeches of the contestants, so all the events are recorded and broadcast in advance.
Because of Zheng Qian's dazzling performance in the last event, Zheng Qian's treatment in this finals is extraordinary, and there are photographers to follow the record throughout the whole process, in addition, Zheng Qian accepted a pre-game interview with the variety channel one day in advance, as well as a personal photo show shooting.
In terms of the average age of the entire finals at the age of thirty, Zheng Qian has a great advantage in both age and appearance, which is also the main propaganda figure of CCTV's three sets of "Singer" programs in recent days, which frequently appear on many channels under CCTV, which has really made Zheng Qian popular.
Especially after the appearance of "Opera 2", the dolphin sound that soared through the sky directly caused a huge impact, causing a sensation in Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei, and attracting the strong attention of many Soviet song lovers.
The title of "Prince of Soprano" was directly placed on Zheng Qian, and many commercial performance announcements also came one after another.
However, in order to ensure Zheng Qian's voice, Yuexiang Entertainment did not accept all of them, but only screened a few high-priced performances, just in the period before the game, Zheng Qian earned a small 200,000 yuan with commercial performances, which is the direct effect of popularity.
After gaining popularity, Zheng Qian found that it was really easy to make money.
In addition to the performance, many magazines and variety shows also sent announcements.
For example, Beijing Satellite TV's "Poetry Conference" invited guests and a group of college students to guess the name of the poem and recite the poem together.
CCTV Children's Channel's "Rainbow Choir" invited musicians in the industry to sing songs with children.
and the interview invitation of Beijing Music Radio, all of which were taken by Ren Xin and put on the itinerary.
There are also some little-known advertising cooperation, because the bid is too low to be rejected by Ren Xin, Zheng Qian actually does not need endorsement at this stage, the first is that the price is too low, and the second cooperative brand is mostly small workshop products, except for the blue guest home, there are almost no first- and second-tier brands looking for Zheng Qian's endorsement, and they can't give such a high price as the blue guest.
At present, the stage of "Singer" is the most important, and when the "Singer" program ends, although Zheng Qian's popularity will not have a qualitative leap, his achievements and qualifications in the industry can be regarded as adding a strong touch, and most importantly, he can also join the art troupe.
At the same time, with the advancement of publicity, the program "Chinese Idol" on Shonan Satellite TV has now officially started the producer audition stage, and all singers who pass the interview must go to one of the six major regions of the country to conduct the producer audition.
Unlike the primary audition, which only submits information, the producer audition will have a camera record, and Shonan Satellite TV will release the producer's audition clips from time to time as needed to stimulate the popularity of the contestants.
Zheng Qian, who has already passed the primary selection, also needs to go to the competition point in one of the six major regions to conduct the audition.
The audition is divided into two stages, namely the producer audition and the judges' audition.
For a month, after the producer passes the audition, he will be promoted on behalf of the contestants and enter the judges' audition.
At this stage, the contestants need to be promoted by PK, and the judges will score directly.
Because only the top ten in the competition area are eligible to go to Shonan Satellite TV to record the national championship.
Screening out the 60 strongest idols from hundreds of millions of young people across the country, all kinds of difficulties are jaw-dropping just thinking about it.
Therefore, even if "Chinese Idol" has not yet started broadcasting, or even before it has started recording, it has become popular all over the country, becoming the absolute focus of current folk and Internet discussions, and it has also become an ideal place for many singers in the music world.
Many music colleges and universities have also linked, and even tutors have called on students not to let go of this opportunity, and for a while, the entire music world is in turmoil.
Compared with the audition of "Chinese Idol", the finals of the "Singer" program do not seem to have made a splash.
It doesn't matter, though.
"The Singer" was originally equivalent to the carnival of industry insiders, and it was also hundreds of powerful singers who fought hard to break their heads and finally compete for ten opportunities to enter the art troupe.
Today, there are a total of five art troupes that came to the scene, namely the Air Politics, the Maritime Administration, the Coal Mine, the Second Artillery, and the Comrades-in-Arms Art Troupe.
Each troupe is limited to two contestants.
Basically, all art troupes will throw out all kinds of tempting conditions to compete for the top three, that is, the higher the ranking, the higher the treatment after joining the group.
