As one of the five major music platforms in China, the watermelon creation chart, which focuses on promoting personal original music, has gone through seven years so far.

Different from the other four group-based singing platforms such as Mango, Kiwi, Kuai and Penguin, Watermelon Music pursues a purer musical experience.

The watermelon list is generally broadcast once in the middle of the month and once on Sunday night at the end of the month, and the whole process is broadcast live in the mining area.

The top five works on the list are invited to perform in descending order every two weeks.

At first glance, since these singers are invited, the watermelon list is completely upside down to help with publicity.

It sounds so noble, the music platform really cares for people with music dreams.

If anyone thinks so, it can only be said that they are really living with love.

Not to mention the commission when fans download music sources from the watermelon list channel, just one watermelon coin is equivalent to five yuan when playing the list, which is also an extremely considerable income.

Of the income from the forty or fifty songs on the list, only a small part of the income needs to be used for song promotion and stage design for five singers, and all the other income platform pockets are not too profitable.

However, this actually only accounts for 20% of the platform's revenue in each period.

In addition, 50% of the income comes from various commercial sponsorships, such as which brand of clothes and decorations are used in the performance set, as well as advertisements in which the host thanks the sponsor's father between the shows.

But five programs, even if a song is sung for six minutes, how can it not make up enough for an hour and a half of program time?

If there are several first-line singers in the top five, it is estimated that the show will not be complete.

Because first-line singers will not be exposed frequently, they continue to participate in chart-playing activities.

So in addition to the top five invited performances, there will also be ten "special performances" in each episode.

Unlike invitation performances, special performances are limited to three minutes, and singers have to adapt longer songs, delete singing sections, and so on.

As for how to be shortlisted for this "special performance", it is an unspeakable transaction, anyway, this part of the funds is said to account for 30% of the platform's income.

Finally, after the end of each episode, the platform will also select the first in the current issue based on the data such as on-site fan voting, online voting, comprehensive ranking, etc.

Entertainment is never free.

Hawke returned to Beijing on Friday night, and while he was still filming in Britain, Diller had already confirmed that he would be involved in the formation of the watermelon creation chart.

Di Le has not been idle in the past few days, and invited several arrangers in charge of the company to completely adapt Hawke's "Backlight" into a soft lyrical song, and took Hawke to the early recording studio for training early Saturday morning.

"Xiao Ke, when you sing the two sentences of 'the pain is dazzling' and 'reluctant to extinguish', you can skip the word 'de' in the middle, so that your breath will be more stable. ”

The music teacher also wasted a lot of energy for Hawke, who was born as an idol.

What was originally a song of four minutes and thirty seconds was changed to nearly five minutes after the adaptation, and after the first climax, Hawke was given a full twenty-second break.

In addition, the scale of the climactic passage is lowered and the tempo slows slightly.

The reason for all the efforts is because the live broadcast of the watermelon list must be really sung!

This is not at all the same concept as the performance of New Year's Eve TV.

On New Year's Eve, the director can use technology, can switch the audience's camera, and use the audience's screams to cover up the shortcomings of some singers.

The singer himself is the absolute protagonist, and the technical requirements for the camera to capture personal shots are much higher than those of large-scale evening programs.

Considering the problem of throat maintenance, Hawke only practiced for four hours on Saturday, and took an early flight to the headquarters of the watermelon creation music platform in Shanghai early on Sunday morning for a rehearsal.

......

Three of the top five on the current chart accepted the invitation today, and "Backlight" will perform in the penultimate as the second-ranked song.

Hawke had been in the rehearsal hall for half an hour at this point.

"Dreams will definitely fly to the direction of hope—to—ah...."

The man on the stage sang a broken note for the second time and burst into a foul language on stage.

"One more time!" the man on stage said to the staff.

"Teacher Ouyang, why don't we try to lower the high note of this sentence by half a key?" the broadcast director asked angrily, "I see that you have a cold today, and it may not be good for your voice to sing so high." ”

The man took a sip of the water handed by the assistant and shook his head: "No, you must sing according to the original tune." ”

When the studio director was about to continue persuasion, Ouyang Hao interrupted him: "Didn't the Internet say that I was lip-syncing, if I lowered the key, they would dance more happily." ”

The director saw that persuasion was useless, so he could only give up.

"Then Mr. Ouyang, let's rehearse again, it's almost beyond your rehearsal time, and the singers below are still waiting. ”

The director turned his head and shook it like Hawk in the audience, signaling to Ouyang Hao that the next performer was already preparing.

"Then let him wait. Ouyang Hao said indifferently, "It's just a vase thrown by fans, singing everything is the same, and his fans still buy it." ”

When Ouyang Hao said this, Hawke could hear it, and he was naturally very unhappy.

In fact, Ouyang Hao was even more unhappy than him.

When he debuted at a young age, he didn't catch up with the good time for the development of Chinese music, and he didn't get the title of a creative talent until he was thirty years old.

Before it became popular for two years, Huaxia ushered in the outbreak period of idol groups, and these idol "singers" gradually encroached on the major music platform markets and squeezed the living space of singers.

The influence of idols on Chinese singers in the past two years can be described as cutting off people's financial resources, like killing their parents.

Now there is only watermelon creation in the whole of China, the only platform that must be sung, isolating the vast majority of idols.

Even so, Hawke's ranking this time is still overwhelming.

Ouyang Hao has had a bad start to the year this year.

When he sang on New Year's Eve, he was pitted by Jiangsu and Zhejiang Satellite TV, he didn't expect that Jiangsu and Zhejiang Satellite TV would require all artists to lip-sync for stage effect this year, and he never expected that this year's fake singing of each David TV would finally cause public resentment to boil.

At that time, the contracts were signed, what could he do with the third-tier singers?

So it's no wonder he doesn't like Hawke.

"Teacher Ouyang, you said there that I could hear it. Hawke ignored the temporary agent next to him, Yang Tian grabbed his hand and shot back.

He is a young man who has just turned eighteen years old, and he is not an old fritter, so he can't stand the anger of these third-tier singers.

What's more, the other party's list is only fifth, and he is still fourth.

"What do you hear, I'm telling the truth. Ouyang Hao looked at Hawke mockingly and said, "Don't come here if you idols don't have the strength, you make jokes every time you come." ”

"Okay, Teacher Ouyang, don't be angry. The director hurriedly said to the mud, "Don't mind Mr. Huo, Mr. Ouyang is worried about how to present a good performance to the audience, don't take it to heart." ”

This is called the other party's teacher, and calling himself Mr. is obviously a difference between intimacy and alienation.

Hawke thought about it, if one of his idols came to the territory of this singer platform, if he was really tough with them, he would still suffer a loss.

Now there is a rush of brains and says, "Ouyang Hao, there is a kind of fighting song with me!", and the IQ is really low to the dust.

"Then I hope that Mr. Ouyang will come on, sing well when he is high-pitched, don't break the sound again, and don't be compared to me as an idol singer. Hawkpi said with a smile.

"Hehe, joke!"

......

Ouyang Hao reluctantly sang in a hoarse voice during the last rehearsal, and then left haughtily.

The director immediately ran to Hawke's side and said: "Mr. Huo, don't be angry with him, he has been unlucky enough recently, a singer-songwriter is performing lip-synching on New Year's Eve, and he will not be invited to big shows in the future." ”

Hawke was a little impressed with the director.

I originally thought it was a group of singers to exclude idols, but I didn't expect it to be a superb wall grass.

This kind of person must be entertained on the surface, but must not be deeply acquainted.

"It's okay Director Liu, I was too impulsive just now. Hawke's acting skills have soared recently, and he put on an apologetic look, "Teacher Ouyang is my senior, and he also suggested to me just now, I should accept it humbly." ”

"Mr. Huo, don't take it to heart!" Director Liu looked around, and then whispered in Hawke's ear, "That person is the fifth on the list that he bought out of his own pocket this time, and his reputation has dropped sharply when he sings on New Year's Eve. ”

"He has a very bad temper, he has come to our show five or six times, and the program team has long been tired of him. Director Liu looked at Hawke with a smile like a peach blossom, "Don't you believe it, there are times when he is unlucky." ”

According to him, Ouyang Hao's star career is indeed dim, so he was still pretending to raise his hand there just now, in order to leave the last trace of the possibility of defection?

Director Liu's smile is especially like a creature that can't be called a man in the Ming Dynasty TV series on Earth, which makes Hawke creepy.
