Chapter 559: Think about it
In this season of "Singer", Wu You brings a female singer named Jiang Kailin.
Ms. Jiang is 35 years old and comes from Hong Kong Island. She spent her middle school years in Canada, and after graduating from high school, she returned to Hong Kong Island, signed a contract with a Hong Kong Island record company, and began to develop her acting career, which debuted very early. In the early days of her debut, she was also very popular for a while, and the results of her debut album were very good, with a bumper harvest of awards and sales, and there were many classic songs that were very popular.
However, due to various reasons such as body, family, and company, Jiang Kailin suffered a series of changes, and was silent for nearly ten years, during which there were no works that could be mastered, and it was not until the last two years that she made a comeback and reappeared frequently in the public eye. Although with those classic songs ten years ago, her popularity is still there, but it is no longer as beautiful as it was at the beginning.
Due to her experience of studying abroad, Jiang Kailin's Chinese is relatively good among Hong Kong Island artists, and she is also one of the Hong Kong Island artists who have placed their target market in the mainland entertainment industry since the early days of their debut. Whether it is in film and television or music, the mainland market now far exceeds that of Hong Kong Island, and Hong Kong Island artists have entered the mainland one after another. Jiang Kailin's comeback after being silent is naturally also a frequent participation in mainland TV programs and activities.
Jiang Kailin is not only a singer, but the most well-known identity in acting is a singer, and her best and favorite is also singing. Counting, she is also an "old singer" who has debuted for more than ten years and has good strength, and participating in this year's "Singer" of Shonan Satellite TV is the thing she attaches the most importance to recently. Since she attaches so much importance to the "Singer" program, Jiang Kailin naturally knows Xiao Yao, the topic character on "Singer" the year before last.
Xiao Yao is one of the hottest mainland music songwriters and singers in recent years, not only has won numerous awards, but his reputation has also spread abroad. At the Eva Show at the end of last year, he was the first Chinese guest performer in the history of the Eva Show, and he performed two shows on the Eva Show for the first time, which can be regarded as creating history. It's only been a month since this incident, and the heat hasn't completely dissipated. Even if she didn't come to participate in "Singer", Jiang Kailin didn't know anything about Xiao Yao.
From his debut to the present, the quality of Xiao Yao's music works is very good, whether it is his own original songs or the songs he wrote for others, almost every one of them is a hit song at the golden song level, and he himself has a very big topicality. If there is a song written by Xiao Yao, even if it is not performed in the show "Singer", it will be released separately, which will be of great help to Jiang Kailin's career development. Hearing that this talented musician wrote a Cantonese song and hadn't found a good singer, Jiang Kailin, a female singer from Hong Kong Island, was naturally moved.
However, Jiang Kailin has also heard that many big-name singers in the mainland music scene have invited Xiao Yao to sing, but there are very few who get their wish. It is said that Xiao Yao, a young genius, has a family background that is not simple, and he is neither short of fame nor money. The so-called desirelessness is rigid, so Jiang Kailin feels that Xiao Yao seems to be a very difficult person.
Jiang Kailin and Xiao Yao have never crossed paths, and they don't know each other at all. She felt that most of the results of rashly meeting Xiao Yao were rejected, so she hit Wu You with the idea. She knew that Wu You had recorded "Singer" with Xiao Yao the year before last, although she was not Xiao Yao's agent, she was always an acquaintance. This year, they recorded another episode of "Sound Immersion" together, and maybe they will record a final together, which is a step further than acquaintances, and there is a little friendship.
In Xiao Yao, who is said to not look at the identity and status of the other party, it is definitely more appropriate for Wu You, who has a relationship with him, to come forward directly than her, a stranger like Jiang Kailin. Let Wu You come forward as an introducer, even if there is no guarantee that Xiao Yao will sell him that song, at least he should be able to meet and talk, there is some hope after all.
The entertainment program hosts under Shonan Satellite TV are not just hosts, but actually artists. Arranging for the young entertainment program host in his own station to be the agent of the competing singers in "Singer" is a measure of Shonan Satellite TV to help its artists expand their contacts. Even if they don't sing and don't get involved in the music scene, the music industry also belongs to the entertainment industry, and getting along with these big-name singers is also an accumulation of their connections in the circle. Where they can be helped, these hosts will definitely try their best to help.
Wu You felt that he definitely didn't have the face to let Xiao Yao sell songs to Jiang Kailin, but if he just made a phone call and introduced the two to each other, it was estimated that Xiao Yao would not mind. So after Jiang Kailin made this request, and promised that she only needed to introduce it, and she would come forward to talk to Xiao Yao about buying the song, Wu You happily agreed to Jiang Kailin's request.
At that time, they were recording "Singer", and it was not appropriate to call directly, and the next day Wu You was going to record the sixth episode of "Sound Immersion", so Wu You went to Jiang Kailin the day after the recording of the sixth episode of "Sound Immersion" and called Xiao Yao in front of her.
As for Xiao Yao's call, Jiang Kailin came forward to ask for the "Singer" program team. Xiao Yao participated in "Singer" the year before last, and his work phone number was retained by the program team. I heard that Jiang Kailin wanted to find Xiao Yao to invite a song, and the program team was also happy to see it, and what they had in their hands was a work phone number that was publicly used for business contact in the industry, and the program team gave Jiang Kailin no burden.
Because it was a work call, Wu You also felt that it would be Xiao Yao's agent Fang Yi who answered the phone when she called, and she needed to communicate with Fang Yi first, but she didn't expect that the phone that should be in the agent's hand was answered by Xiao Yao himself.
After hearing Wu You explain the purpose of the call, Xiao Yao readily agreed to meet with Jiang Kailin, but asked Jiang Kailin not to bring the filming crew of "Singer" for the time being.
Xiao Yao knew that "Singer" would shoot daily tidbits, but he had not yet agreed to help Jiang Kailin write a song or sing that Cantonese song to Jiang Kailin, so it was normal for Xiao Yao to ask Jiang Kailin not to bring the filming crew of "Singer" when she went to meet. But Xiao Yao obviously proposed to ask Jiang Kailin not to take the filming crew of "Singer", but asked Wu You, Jiang Kailin's program agent, to go to Shencheng to meet him together.
"Singer" has been broadcast for several episodes, Xiao Yao shouldn't know who Jiang Kailin is, and he is not a person who is afraid of life, Wu You feels that since Xiao Yao agreed to meet Jiang Kailin, it stands to reason that there should be nothing to do with himself. However, since Xiao Yao asked him to go with him, Wu You also agreed to accompany Jiang Kailin to Shencheng. In fact, Wu You is still quite curious about Xiao Yao's private life and workplace.
Considering that Wu You and Jiang Kailin were still in southern Xiangnan, Xiao Yao proposed a meeting time with them on the phone in the afternoon of the next day, at Yin Xi's studio. This week's "Singer" and "Sound Immersion" have finished recording, and there is no problem with the time, they have a request for Xiao Yao, and they have no opinion on going to Xiao Yao's place to visit, so they have decided.
In the afternoon of the next day, Wu You, Jiang Kailin and their private team arrived at Yin Xi's studio on time according to the agreed time.
Like the time when Liang Xueying came to the studio to ask Xiao Yao to help prepare the song for the competition during "Singer" the year before last, Xiao Yao also greeted Jiang Kailin and Wu You at the gate of Yin Xi's studio.
As an introducer, Wu You first made an introduction to Xiao Yao and Jiang Kailin, who met for the first time. Xiao Yao greeted everyone and walked to the studio with the group.
"Xiao is always good!" Seeing Xiao Yao come in with a large group of people, the two receptionists at the front desk of the hall on the first floor stood up and saluted Xiao Yao.
When Liang Xueying came for the first time the year before last, the two receptionists at that time also stood up to support Xiao Yao in this way. Since Liang Xueying's time, whenever a star in the entertainment industry brings someone to Yin Xi's studio and is led in by Xiao Yao, the receptionist will stand up very formally to say hello to Xiao Yao, so as to show those celebrities that Xiao Yao is not only an entertainment star, but also a corporate CEO. Although the current reception of Yin Xi's studio is not the same as the two the year before, this behavior of supporting the field has become a tradition of reception at the front desk and has been maintained.
"It turns out that you are still the boss here!" Sure enough, seeing the performance of the reception at the front desk, Jiang Kailin looked at Xiao Yao with some surprise.
Although the scene when Liang Xueying came the year before last was also filmed by Xiao Yao's follow-up team, at Xiao Yao's request, the program team did not broadcast it, so although Jiang Kailin knew about Xiao Yao and Yin Xi's cooperation with fashion brands, she didn't know that the young Xiao Yao would enjoy such treatment when he entered and exited Yin Xi's studio.
Jiang Kailin is not Liang Xueying, and Xiao Yao also knows the purpose of those front desk girls doing this, so he didn't act as modest as the year before last, just nodded and said lightly: "Well, I am not only one of the two owners of "Xi Si", but also the design director of this brand. ”
"Wow~ Such a young entertainment star is still the design director of a brand!" An assistant in Jiang Kailin's private team sighed quietly. Seeing the reception at the front desk and Xiao Yao's performance, it can be clearly judged that Xiao Yao, the design director, is not just a nominal name.
Hearing the whispered sigh of the assistant behind him, Xiao Yao, who was walking in the front, curled the corners of his mouth. Xiao Yao hasn't decided whether to give that Cantonese song to Jiang Kailin, so let's take out this kind of work first, if the result of the negotiation is not ideal, presumably the people on Jiang Kailin's side will not find it too difficult to accept.
After entering the studio, Xiao Yao did not directly take the group to the brand design studio where his office is located, but first took everyone to a reception room in the studio.
"Everyone, please take a seat!" Xiao Yao beckoned everyone to sit down on the sofa in the reception room, and said to Jiang Kailin, "Miss Jiang, please take a rest here with your team first." ”
"Rest?" Jiang Kailin said a little strangely.
"Well, I have something to discuss with Wu You first. Xiao Yao nodded, "Sorry for being absent for the time being, my agent will be here to accompany you during this time, if you need anything, just tell her directly." We'll be back soon!"
"Wu You, come out with me!" Xiao Yao took Wu You's arm and walked out of the reception room.
"Xiao Yao, I'm just an introducer who introduces you to the middle, it's Jiang Kailin who is looking for you, not me, why are you pulling me out?" As soon as he left the reception room, Wu You broke free of Xiao Yao's hand holding his arm, and looked at Xiao Yao strangely.
"I know," Xiao Yao said with a smile, "Jiang Kailin has something to look for me, but I also have something to look for you!"
"What are you looking for me?" Wu You asked.
"I want to ask you to be my guest speaker for the finals of "Sound Immersion"!" Xiao Yao said straight to the point.
"What?" Wu You was startled, and pointed to himself in surprise, "You want to ask me to be a guest speaker?"
"Yes!" Xiao Yao nodded.
"I am a student of the new voice class of "Sound Immersion", how can I be your guest voice in the finals?" Wu You said.
"Why can't it?" Xiao Yao said with a smile, "The rules of the program are that the contestants who participate in the finals find their own vocal guests, and there is no rule that they can't find students from the new voice class!"
"But in this show, your big voice is the teacher, and our new voice class is the student!" Wu You said.
"Can't teachers and students perform together?" Xiao Yao asked again, "It's still that problem, the program team doesn't have such a rule, right?"
"No, no, but why me?" Wu You said, "In terms of age and seniority, Zhou Xiao and Kong Lei are better than me!"
"But their dubbing level is not as strong as yours!I have read all the homework on your Weibo, although Zhou Xiao Kong Lei and they don't hand in their homework on Weibo every week like you, but I can still do this judgment!" Xiao Yao shrugged and smiled, "Age, qualifications, do you think I will value these?"
Wu You subconsciously shook his head.
As a person who participated in "Singer" and "Sound Immersion" at the age of 20 and 21, and competed on the same stage with a group of big names and predecessors, Xiao Yao himself is a model of breaking the rules of age and seniority, and he definitely doesn't attach much importance to these.
"I~ If I were your guest speaker, wouldn't there be a shortage of people in the new voice class?" Wu You said with some hesitation.
"Whether it is adjusting the number of new voices in the finals or finding another person to replace it, it is not a big problem, and I believe that it is not difficult for the program team to adjust. This time, I asked you to be the guest speaker, not me. I will come forward to communicate with the program team about this problem. Xiao Yao said with a smile, "The fact that the students of the new voice class in the show can be found by the competing guests to be the voice support guests is not only a recognition of your ability and strength, but also has a positive impact on the show and even the reputation of your Shonan Satellite TV, I think the program team should also be happy to see it." ”
"However, from a student in the new voice class to a guest voice all of a sudden, this span is a bit too big, and I am not very confident," Wu You was still a little hesitant, "Can you let me think about it?"
"Yes," Xiao Yao nodded, "Since I invited you, the initiative is in your hands." You can say yes, you can say no, and of course you can have time to think about it. ”
"Is it okay to think about it for three days?" Wu You tentatively raised three fingers and asked, "Now there are more than twenty days left before the finals, you let me think about it." ”
"Okay, you think about it slowly!" Xiao Yao smiled and pointed to the door of the reception room, "I'm done with your business, now it's time to go in and talk to Jiang Kailin about her." You can go in and listen to it. ”
"Okay!" Wu You breathed a sigh of relief and re-entered the reception room with Xiao Yao.
