"The Strongest New Band" is an online variety show launched by UK.com two years ago, which happened to be the time when the Black Hole Band came back and the domestic rock market continued to be hot.

When the first season was broadcast, the show was quite popular, and many music companies selected excellent bands from the show to cultivate, and wanted to eat a piece of the cake.

However, due to the fact that the copyright of many classic songs is not easy to handle, and the quality of the original songs is uneven, the reputation of each episode of this show is mixed.

Even so, this show has been hovering in the top five for a long time in the rankings of all online comprehensives, and there are many viewers.

Since the first season, the person in charge of this show has contacted Xinghai and tried every means to invite the Black Hole Band as a guest judge.

Because of time, the two sides have not been able to reach a consensus.

But before the recording of the fourth season of this year, the program team got a surprise news that the Black Hole Band agreed to participate in the recording of the fourth season of "The Strongest Band"!

The program team is very excited, because the third season of this year has already aired three episodes, and the first two episodes have not achieved satisfactory results, even if they invited four first-line bands to form a king-level lineup.

The click-through rate and the number of comments on the show are gradually declining, and many viewers who like to watch this show say that the quality of the songs in the new season is generally not high, until the program team made an emergency adjustment and temporarily bought the temporary cover rights of some good songs for the contestants to sing, which made the reputation rise a little.

What is the most expensive thing in the world? The director of "The Strongest New Band" will definitely say that it is copyright.

Covering songs that have become famous on the show requires the authorization of the song creator, that is, spending money to buy the right to cover the song, although the price of a single song is tens of thousands of yuan, but a program needs to use dozens to hundreds of songs from beginning to end, which is not a small amount.

"The Strongest New Band" is an online variety, not a TV variety show, the net worth is not so rich, and it is a program with originality as a promotional point, so naturally I can't buy the copyright of so many songs, I can only buy part of it.

Bought at a high price, they must have thought that good steel would be used on the blade, so they started to use it after the semi-finals, and let the players use the original to play the preliminary round in the early stage.

But this has led to a problem, there are not so many original musicians who can write good songs, and the current music taste of domestic audiences is generally high, which is not easy to fool, which will lead to the situation that the first two episodes are disliked and the quality of the songs is not high.

This made the program team begin to consider inviting star judges to invite some original musicians to be contestants......

It's really hard to do a show.

Knowing that the Black Hole Band was willing to join, the program team was ecstatic, and after docking, it turned out that it was not all the Black Hole Band, but only the lead singer Cao Wu.

That's enough!

The core of the Black Hole Band is Cao Wu, and so many good songs are also written by Cao Wu, as long as he is willing to join, he is still worried about not singing?

Moreover, this time in cooperation with Xinghai, if there are good seedlings in the show, Xinghai will definitely not let it go, and the win-win cooperation between the two sides is also a benefit for the contestants.

The program team quickly replied to Xinghai Culture, and the next day, the chief director Hao Ren flew to the magic capital in person to negotiate with Mr. Niu in person.

Here he also met Cao Wu, and the impression of both parties was not bad.

The negotiation was negotiated by Niu Li and Zhang Rong, and Cao Wu did not interfere.

Hao Ren proposed that he could buy the cover rights of the Black Hole Band's songs cheaply, but Niu Li disagreed, thinking that it was sold cheaply.

Hao Ren said that Xinghai Culture can participate in the audition, and if good seedlings appear and get good results in the show, Xinghai Culture can give priority to signing them.

Niu Li believes that this is using the brand of Xinghai Culture, and it cannot be used as a bargaining chip for the program team.

The two sides talked for two days, finalized all the details, and signed the contract.

Cao Wu reappeared at this time, and everyone had a friendly meal.

After Cao Wu's participation was finalized, Hao Ren flew back to the headquarters of the Beijing UK Network and began to prepare for the audition for the fourth season.

There was still a month before the recording of the show, and Cao Wu flew to Urumqi to see Fang Luxiao.

Unlike him, Fang Luxiao is preparing to take the graduate school entrance examination.

In the rental house, the two of them were lying on the bed and talking after the clouds and rain had stopped.

Fang Luxiao said worriedly: "What if I can't pass the exam?"

Cao Wu smiled: "Then our Faceling group can reappear in the rivers and lakes?"

"I'm serious!" Fang Luxiao patted his chest in disgust, then lay on it, and muttered, "I haven't seen you for more than two months, I miss you so much." ”

Kissing the top of her head, Cao Wu didn't speak.

"In the past two years, you have to be busy with concerts and music festivals, and we often don't see each other for a long time, so I'm really worried about ......"

"What are you worried about, worried that I'll steal food?" Cao Wu joked, "Your man has to make money!"

Fang Luxiao was noncommittal: "I still like the first two years, we go to school together, we are happy every day, and we can go wherever we want......"

Cao Wu knew that she had just not seen herself for a long time, and she had some pent-up resentment, so it was good to say it.

"When will I have enough money? And I can earn money. Fang Luxiao hugged him and muttered, "Sometimes I really want to hide with you in a place where no one is there and live together." ”

"Herding sheep, feeding horses, chopping wood, building a house, facing the sea, spring flowers blooming?" Cao Wu smiled, and suddenly asked: "Why did you decide to take the graduate school entrance examination? You know that I have the ability to make you popular, so there is no need to work so hard." ”

Fang Luxiao shook his head: "I haven't had any goals since I was a child, I just blindly study hard and don't embarrass my parents, but if I really want to ask what I want to do, I really don't know." ”

"On the one hand, my family wants me to have a higher education, but the most important thing is that I want to prove myself. ”

She didn't tell the truth completely, deep down in her heart, in fact, she has always had an inferiority complex, she thinks that she is not worthy of Cao Wu, and her higher education has become a helper for her, allowing her to find her own value.

At least in the future, when you go out and be introduced, you can change from Mr. Cao Wu's wife to Mr. Cao Wu's doctor's wife.

That might sound better.

However, these Cao Wu didn't know, he put his arm around Fang Luxiao and comforted: "It's okay, you can do whatever you want to do, everything is up to me, although I will take up more time to record the show this time, but it is all in China, I promise you, before you are admitted to the graduate school in the mainland, I promise to come to see you once a week, okay?"

"Hmm. Fang Luxiao nodded.

Finally coaxed, Cao Wu rubbed her shoulder, reached out and took the remote control, and turned on the TV.

"Look at the game. ”

"What game?"

"Naren Toya is playing in Japan. ”

"Oh, I've been stupid all this time, did she make it to the finals?"

"Today is the semi-final, she is against Iran. ”

"I texted her and cheered her on. ”
