Chapter 11: The Mass Killer
"The Singer" is the main talent show of CCTV's three variety show channels, and there is a reason for the new quota of the art troupe, which is hot in the industry, but because of the more sophisticated professional factors, it also leads to the fact that the whole program is generally a variety of bel canto and ethnic singing, of course, the most common is pop music, after all, the times are advancing, and the program team also relies on pop music with a high degree of singing to open the ratings, as for the rock music that swept the entire Southeast Asia at the end of the last century, it is very rare here.
Although after the latest episode was broadcast, "Lucky" blew a wave of popularity, but as many industry insiders said, this song is too difficult, although it is popular, it is not suitable for singing, which leads to the ratings of CCTV three sets still not much improvement.
As always, although the show has gained some popularity, it is still eating things on the existing plate and cannot expand outward.
Regarding this, Yang Lei, director of the variety channel, obviously noticed it, which made him very unhappy.
The show has been broadcast for five episodes, except for the slight signs of popularity under the CCTV propaganda machine at the beginning, which led to the instant high ratings, but as the program is broadcast more and more, the characteristics of the contestants are becoming more and more similar, which has led to the fact that the ratings of the variety show channel have not improved at all for more than a month.
Yang Lei asked the "Singer" program team for meetings one after another, and everyone admonished one after another.
It coincided with the Hong Kong showbiz king Liu Yihua's global tour concert just ended in Beijing, Andy himself was also staying in Beijing, director Yang Lei heard the news, thought about it for a while, and directly made a decision, let director Song Weifeng follow him, personally went to Andy's hotel to negotiate Andy to become the latest flying guest.
Andy didn't know in advance, but he obviously didn't expect that the leader of CCTV's three sets of channels would invite him in person, and he was also a little flattered.
Although he is the king of the Hong Kong entertainment industry, when he arrives in the mainland, under the red system, he has to be coiled by dragons.
Therefore, he did not directly refuse Director Yang's invitation.
Considering that he could advertise his next concert tour in the program, therefore, after a little communication, Andy's agency team boldly agreed to this announcement invitation.
As a result, the news that Andy was the flying guest of the new issue of "The Singer" spread rapidly.
The major media were instantly excited, Andy has been actively exploring the mainland market in recent years, but there are very few or even no actions like this time to directly participate in variety shows and become guests on the show.
Andy's number of fans in the mainland is extremely huge.
Therefore, after coming and going, the usual ratings of CCTV's three sets have increased significantly.
Especially when playing the advertising clip of Andy as the flying guest of "The Singer", the ratings simply rose rapidly.
This is the King Effect!
It also made the channel director Yang Lei very pleased, and repeatedly told Song Weifeng, the director of the program team, to treat this show well.
Of course, Song Weifeng was also in good spirits, and he specially announced the news before the rehearsal, which also lifted the spirits of everyone in the program team.
Not long after, there was some noise at the rehearsal site, and almost all the staff members were densely gathered around the stage and applauded desperately, which made Director Song Weifeng, who had just finished his work and walked into the studio to inspect, frowned, "What's the matter?"
The assistant was also in a daze, and hurriedly stepped forward to check, and saw many people with tears in their eyes and enthusiastic applause.
At the edge of the stage, Zheng Qian, who had just finished singing a song, was drinking water, he was surprised for a while, turned around and said to the director: "It's a contestant who has just finished rehearsing, maybe the performance is too exciting, and the staff around him are applauding." ”
Song Weifeng actually saw an inch-headed young man bouncing on the stage when he was far away, he couldn't see it really far away, he always felt that the other party was a little familiar, but he didn't care, after all, there were too many contestants who had been promoted in these five episodes, and it was normal for him to remember clearly.
Then he called a few photographers: "You should also know the news, you have to give Liu Tianwang more shots when you record in the afternoon, understand?"
"Understood!" shouted the photographers.
Song Weifeng nodded, and immediately noticed that they were all a little excited.
Well, this is normal, after all, Andy is here, but what is the matter with tears in their eyes?
Song Weifeng asked curiously.
A photographer wiped his eyes and said with emotion: "It's Zheng Qian, the contestant who sang "Lucky One" last week, and this time his repertoire is still original. ”
"Oh?" Song Weifeng smiled: "Singing very well?"
"It's not just very good, in the entire Chinese pop music scene, I have never seen such a beautiful voice, his high notes are amazing, really amazing!"
The photographer gave a thumbs up and said excitedly, it seems that the news that Liu Tianwang came to be a flying guest is not as powerful as the shock brought to him by Zheng Qian's performance at the scene.
Song Weifeng looked at the inch-headed guy who was communicating with the performance teacher on the stage from afar, and was shocked, he didn't expect him to be Zheng Qian, of course he remembered this contestant, but how did he participate in a show and change his appearance?
And, didn't you hear that hair is the life of these idol singers?
He actually has a bit of an itch in his heart, Zheng Qian's high note, the song "Lucky One" is reflected, the singer who has risen nine keys in a row is very exciting, and it has become a hot spot recently, it is said that this high note is rare in the entire music world.
But seeing that the photographer wanted to continue to praise, Song Weifeng immediately stopped him and said with a smile: "Don't say it, leave me a little surprise, and I'll see if it's as amazing as you said in the afternoon." ”
The photographers nodded heavily: "Director Song, don't worry, this time it will definitely blow up the audience, we have already thought of thirty-two ways to move the camera, and we must shoot this kid with a fairy spirit!"
Song Weifeng pointed at him, dare to love you kid to take Lao Tzu's words as a deaf ear? Didn't you say let you shoot Liu Tianwang more?
At this moment, Zheng Qian didn't notice the director's activities at all, he was actively communicating with the stage performance teachers about the accompaniment production of this song, and this time the performance repertoire was beyond Zheng Qian's previous cognition.
In his previous life, he could only hum a few words in the chorus part of this song, but now, he understands his advantages and tries to use all his strength to soar the high notes, but he didn't expect to really sing this song!
This made him very excited, and he immediately made a decision and used this song as a nuclear warhead for this recording.
He's going to blow up the whole field.
After practicing a few times, at the rehearsal scene, as soon as they sang, it made the scalp of many staff members numb, and everyone's reaction was beyond expectations, so that Zheng Qian was very satisfied, several of them were originally sitting together to discuss the details of the show, and after hearing Zheng Qian's high voice, they all knelt up with shocked expressions and raised their necks to watch in the direction of the stage.
A big killer is a big killer.
This power made Zheng Qian very satisfied.
Soon, the official recording of the new episode of "The Singer" began.
