Chapter Eighty-Seven: Choosing a Theme

"Mr. Huang Zhong, this is your first time coming to the mainland, and your first time on the stage as a fill-in singer, what do you think of your performance tonight?" Hong Tao asked Huang Zhong on the side.

Huang Zhong thought about it for a while, and then said: "First of all, I have to admit that "I Am a Singer" is a very good stage.

I love the name of the show, 'I'm a Singer'.

No matter how much glory I have had, how many identities I have changed, what I am most proud of is always the identity of 'I am a singer'.

You are the ones who have brought me back to my original intention, and I want to thank you for that. ”

After a pause, he continued: "Actually, I'm not too satisfied with my performance tonight, I still have a lot of things that I don't show.

It's something different from the band, and it's also something that belongs to me Huang Zhong uniquely, a real 'thing'.

Therefore, no matter whether I am eliminated or not, I will do my best to present the best performance for my fans and friends in the next show. ”

"Bang Bang Bang ......"

Similarly, Huang Zhong's speech also received applause from everyone.

"That's a good point, Mr. Huang Zhong, in fact, you have made everyone know you again, in addition to being a member of the Xiangjiang Band, you are also an excellent musician: Huang Zhong!"

After commenting on Huang Zhong, Hong Yi commented on Wang Yu again, and then began to announce the final ranking: "There is still seventh place on the field that has not been announced.

Huang Zhong and Wang Yu, one of you will be eliminated.

Now, the seventh-place singer in this competition is ......"

"He is the singer of "Good Intentions", Mr. Wang Yu, congratulations!"

Wang Yu stood up, hugged one by one, and finally returned to his position: "To be honest, I'm not too satisfied with this result, but for tonight's performance, it is indeed a little unsatisfactory, I will do my best in the next game and strive for the top!"

After a little emotion, the next thing is the most important thing, announcing the eliminator.

"As I just said, the eliminators of this issue of "I Am a Singer" will be produced between Mr. Wang Yu and Mr. Huang Zhong.

Now, the seventh place is Mr. Wang Yu, so this result has also come out. Hong Yi said a little melancholy.

"To be honest, I don't really want to announce this result at all.

Huang Zhong is the top guitarist and singer in China, and the former Xiangjiang Band is the memory of a generation, representing the mark of a generation. ”

"But there will be eliminators in the competition, and the stage of "I Am a Singer" is so cruel.

In fact, the difference in the number of votes between the two of you is very close, only one vote.

It was precisely this vote difference that Mr. Huang Zhong could only leave gloomily.

Although Mr. Huang Zhong was eliminated, in my heart, you are the top singer in China, and I look forward to your performance in the next encore performance!" Hong Yi said to Huang Zhong.

Huang Zhong said with a smile: "First of all, it is an honor to stand on this stage and compete with all outstanding musicians.

Although I was eliminated, I am very happy, I am happy that there are still people who remember me, remember the former Xiangjiang Band, and it is your support that has led to our achievements today.

But I hope from today onwards everyone can know that in addition to being the band's guitarist Huang Zhong, I am also a singer: Huang Zhong!"

As he spoke, he bowed deeply to the camera, and then left the scene under the guidance of his agent.

The camera recorded until Huang Zhong got into the car, and similarly, this issue also came to an end.

"It's really unwilling to be eliminated so quickly!"

In the car, there was no camera around, and only when facing his own people, Huang Zhong would say happily.

"Don't be too sad, this participation in the show is only the first step into the mainland, and we will try to remove the band mark on you.

The next step is to recreate a new personal image, and instead of being sad, it is better to prepare for the next encore song and leave a deep impression on the audience. Huang Zhong's real agent calmly analyzed.

As a singer, every step has a purpose, some are to make money, some are to gain popularity, Huang Zhong participated in "I Am a Singer" for the latter, after all, when the band was at its hottest, he also made a lot of money.

Now as an individual, to make a comeback, what is needed is the popularity of the past, not the money in front of you.

Huang Zhong nodded: "I know." ”

.........

In the studio, Hong Yi, who was standing next to the camera, continued:

"Thank you all the hard work, you did a great job tonight, and I look forward to your performance next week.

After the recording of the subject matter is completed, the teachers can go back to rest. ”

After the eliminators, the live broadcast part can be said to be over.

The rest will be recorded, such as song selection, etc., which will be recorded and broadcast.

What are the benefits of recording compared to live streaming?

To put it simply, recording and broadcasting belong to the controllable mode, and live broadcast belongs to the uncontrollable broadcast form.

Recording is what the program wants the audience to see, and the audience can see.

They don't know what's behind it, and they can save it if something happens.

For example, if you choose a song, if it is a live broadcast, and something happens, it is a broadcast accident that cannot be changed.

Therefore, this is also the semi-live broadcast mode of the program, which can not only allow the audience to watch the most exciting games, but also control some uncontrollable factors as much as possible.

It's like the theme is randomly selected, not all singers are all-round singers, some singers can only sing love songs, some singers can only sing rock and roll, and many singers are actually stereotyped.

Having a rock singer sing a lyrical song may be a novelty for the audience, but for the singer, it's a disaster.

The most prominent point is the collapse of the character, what is the character?

All celebrities actually have their own personalities, actors have this situation, and singers also have a similar situation.

The actors are very simple, and after they become a little famous, the agency team will determine the character for them.

For example, silly white sweet, domineering president, royal sister, intellectual beauty, urban women, or ugly cute, comedian, etc., these are all human designs.

Only after determining the character design, the director will consider some corresponding character actors when selecting the actors.

Why can a first-line actor become a first-line actor? In addition to his own strength and hard work, it is not a good person's setting, the audience recognizes this kind of persona, and the industry defaults that this kind of persona belongs to that actor, and when you meet similar roles, you will think of them first.

As for whether they will choose to transform in the later stage, and how to transform, those are all things after stepping into the first-line actors.

The same is true for singers, when each singer debuts, the agency has to set up a character for them and carry out various packaging.

For example, a musical talent, a prince of love songs, a rock singer, a music old naughty, an all-round singer, etc., all belong to the character design.

After determining the character design, it will attract the attention of the audience who likes that type, and if the character design is too complicated, it will only outweigh the losses.

This is also the reason why many singers are reluctant to sing other types of songs, once they fall too deep, their personalities may collapse.

is a simple song selection, but there are many stories hidden behind it, which must be played well, bringing freshness to the audience at the same time, and at the same time transforming successfully.

If this is not played well and leads to an accident in a live performance, then the career may be over.

This is also the reason why there is no live broadcast in the theme selection part, which cannot be broadcast live or broadcast live because there is room to be spared.

"Feng Shao, this is the theme of the song to be chosen for a while, do you have a favorite theme?" In the singer's lounge, Li Hong took out a document, which was the theme to be chosen next.

Before he started recording, Qin Feng had already obtained the theme of singing, and he could choose according to his preferences, and this side would never be presented to the audience.

So at this moment, all cameras are completely off.

Qin Feng took the document and looked at it a few times.

There are rock, lyrical, youth themes, inspirational themes, hip-hop, small ballads, and newly added Chinese style and other types of themes.

There are many themes, including basically all genres in music, and there are a few songs corresponding to the themes.

These songs are just a reference, if Qin Feng and they have ideas, they can continue to add them.

"What type did the other groups of singers choose?" After watching it a few times, Qin Feng did not choose directly, but asked Li Hong.

Being able to advance to the next round, Li Hong seemed very happy. No one wants a round of tours, especially agents like them.

Everyone has their own goals and ideas, some hosts feel that they can earn an extra appearance fee by staying for one more episode, and some people want to rely on the popularity of the show to gain fame.

As for Li Hong, it is estimated that she herself doesn't know why she wants to stay, she just thinks that she can't be eliminated in the second game.

Sister Shanshan chose a foreign classic song. Brother Jian chose folk songs, everyone else is pop music, and now only you and Brother Xiao have no choice. Li Hong said.

Choosing a song is not simple, in addition to the singer's own choice, you also need the cooperation of other singers.

The two singers try not to choose songs with the same theme to avoid direct collision.

If two singers have ideas about the same genre, it will be up to the agent to negotiate to see who can take a step back.

If the agent can't solve it, the real agent needs to negotiate, and if it can't be successful, it can only be handed over to the program team.

The program team will personally intervene, or take some way to make it impossible for the two of them to choose that theme.

Show managers are not as useless as they seem on the surface, their real role is not on the surface.

Qin Feng nodded: "Then I'll choose hip-hop." ”

"Hip-hop, wouldn't it be a little too risky?"

In the hall, Hong Yi couldn't help but say. This is where the final recording of the episode begins, and when the recording is complete, they can leave separately.

Before the recording of the show, the chief director Hong Yi learned about the choices of the singers.

He didn't have much objection to the choices of other singers, only when he came to Qin Feng, he was a little hesitant.

Why Huang Shan went from obscurity to popularity, she didn't have a good voice, and her high notes made her quickly gather popularity.

The other singers are not stupid, now that the audience's choice has been determined, they are also moving closer to the high notes.

Except for Li Jian, almost all of everyone's songs in the new issue choose to soar high notes.

It is foreseeable that the next few issues will be a high-pitched showdown.

In this case, Qin Feng, who is famous for his Chinese style, actually chose hip-hop songs.

Hip-hop is basically still in an underground mode in China, and the contrast between hip-hop and Huaxia style is too great, Hong Yi feels the need to remind Qin Feng.

Qin Feng smiled lightly: "It's okay, I originally thought that this issue would be eliminated."

If you can stay, why not sing some of your favorite songs.

Also, it's boring to always sing about one genre, try more new genres, show the audience other sides of yourself, play music a little bit more, and win or lose it doesn't matter to me. ”

As soon as this remark came out, several other singers were a little embarrassed.

Every choice they made was to rush to the rankings on the premise of maintaining normal performance, compared to Qin Feng, the utilitarianism was too heavy.

Qin Feng really didn't pretend on purpose, since as a singer, he wanted to try many types of songs, but he wouldn't give up his ranking.

Who said that hip-hop can't get results, how popular hip-hop is on the earth, it proves that hip-hop also has its market, he has to prove it.

"Okay, then we respect Qin Feng's choice, all the teachers prepare, let's officially record!" Hong Yi glanced at Qin Feng with a complicated expression and said decisively.

He only has the right to suggest, not to decide, and it is entirely up to the singer himself to decide what kind of song to choose.

What followed was a performance, and there was not much to say.

After more than an hour, each singer got the results they wanted.

Huang Shan chose a foreign classic song, Li Jian chose a folk song, Zhang Ying and several people are pop music, but the genre is different, Qin Feng chose hip-hop, only the little brother Qi Jing is alone, and he has not made a choice, only a few overall pictures have been recorded.

He didn't know what he was going to sing, and the sixth place result in this issue hit him too hard and was in a more dangerous position, so he was a little confused.

Do you want to continue?
