Seeing that Li Zhifan had questions, the staff immediately explained: "The director team should not only consider the audience of the singer's song selection, but also think about the singer's performance on the stage, and the song selection is an extremely important part of the competition, so it is necessary for the director team to integrate various data and propose suitable songs for the contestants." Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info"

"Just a proposal?"

Li Zhifan asked out loud, "You won't force the choice, will you?"

"Of course not!"

The staff immediately assured, "After all, it is a reality show, and we still have to respect the contestants' song selection." ”

"In that case, it can't be said that the director team has the final decision, right?"

Li Zhifan spread his hands and said, "So this article has to be changed, and it must be clearly written in the contract." If I have a major disagreement with the director team in the end, I have to follow mine. ”

"But ......"

"Don't worry, this is a competition after all, and I will definitely do it for my own results, so I will also selectively accept the data and proposals given by the director team. ”

"That'...... Alright!"

The people in the program team had to compromise, in order to invite the participating singers, and it was a counter-war singer who was more difficult to promote, they could give up some principles and change some terms.

However, these people are also holding their breath, and after the show becomes a hit, I hope this kind of case will never happen again, and it will be the singer begging to come to the show at that time.

All the terms formulated by the program team can only be accepted by the singers who come.

As for Li Zhifan, when the show becomes popular, you won't love it!

Of course, Li Zhifan doesn't care what these staff members think, the two sides themselves are a cooperative relationship, and of course he wants to strive for great benefits for himself.

A contract is thick, and there are many details involved, such as: you cannot participate in singing programs of the same type on other stations during the competition, you cannot say anything that slanders the program on any social platform or in public, respect copyright awareness, unite the musicians of the program group, etc.

Li Zhifan and the staff of the "Singer" program deducted the details of the contract one by one, with changes and concessions.

For example, Li Zhifan asked to bring his own musicians, which means that Zhang Yao and they also have the opportunity to show their faces, and their names will be put on when the show is broadcast.

There are also problems with the accommodation environment and diet, and the energy to be able to strive for.

In the documentary supporting the program, as well as the relevant publicity activities that are needed, not only to ensure cooperation, but also to do not involve issues of principles and interests, but also try to make concessions.

It was busy until four o'clock in the morning, and the meeting ended.

Looking at the originally empty conference table, which was full of empty fast food boxes and drink cups at this time, Li Zhifan couldn't help but stretch.

"Mr. Li, then we won't bother you, you rest early, let's go back first!"

A staff member of the program team said, "You must remember to come to our station to record on the 8th, and we will arrange someone to follow up and be responsible for all your itinerary." ”

"Okay, go back and rest early!"

Li Zhifan stood up and said to Yan Tao again, "Tao, send a few." ”

"Yawn! Okay!" Yan Tao yawned, "Then I'll send them and go back directly." ”

"Okay, let's go!"

Li Zhifan said.

At this point, he didn't plan to go home, Zhou Ke had already gone to the crew to report, and it was not interesting to go back, so he simply spent the rest of the studio for one night.

……

In the blink of an eye.

The eighth arrived.

Li Zhifan arrived at Changsha a day in advance, took Chaoyang Park and others, and stayed in the Golden Eagle Film and Television Cultural City.

The Film and Television Cultural City is part of Shonan Radio and Television, but it is not a film and television shooting base in the sense.

It is a large-scale comprehensive community integrating food, clothing, housing, entertainment and shopping.

In a broad sense, Golden Eagle Film and Television Cultural City is an area, covering an area of more than 3,000 acres, and in a narrow sense, it is a building.

The hotels here have been turned into celebrities, and all the stars and hosts who come to Mango TV to record programs live here.

The "Singer" program has already been recorded in two episodes on the 4th and 6th.

However, the first episode of the program will not be broadcast until the 21st.

Li Zhifan recorded this issue today, and he will not be able to meet the audience until after the year.

The reason why the recording is so intense is precisely because the Chinese New Year is approaching, and the whole industry has entered the busiest time, and the recording time of each issue will be gradually relaxed after the New Year.

Not long after entering the room, there was a knock on the door.

After Zhao Yiduo stepped forward to open the door, a young and beautiful girl walked in.

"Hello Zhifan, my name is Wang Yijia, and I am your music partner. ”

"Hello!"

Li Zhifan stepped forward and said with a smile, "I didn't expect the program team to send me such a beautiful girl." ”

Wang Yijia was suddenly full of joy, who doesn't want to hear praise?

So the smile became a little thicker: "I didn't expect to be your music partner, when I received this news, it was like a dream." ”

"Haha, everything in this show depends on your help!"

"I'll do my best to help you!"

Wang Yijia said, "This afternoon we will shoot a group of interviews for the documentary "Our Singers" of the program, tomorrow morning I will take you to the rehearsal, and now we can go to meet the music director of the program, Mr. Chen Chen." ”

Li Zhifan already knew that Chen Chen was coming to this show as a music director, but he only communicated with Chen Chen on the "Music Super League", and he was not very familiar, and the two didn't even have contact information, so they didn't say hello in advance.

But Chen Chen didn't think so, and as soon as he saw Li Zhifan, he shouted: "Zhifan! You don't say it in advance, I didn't know you were coming until I got the tune." ”

As early as the day after signing the contract with the program team, Li Zhifan sent three songs to the program team, two of which were his own songs and one was an old song of the world.

The program team will arrange for the musicians to familiarize themselves with the songs in advance, and let Chen Chen provide several arrangement plans in advance.

As for the final arrangement, the two sides will exchange and study today.

Li Zhifan and Zhang Yao also made several versions, but they were not guaranteed to be perfect, and they also needed to learn some from Chen Chen.

"I don't want to cause trouble to Mr. Chen!"

Li Zhifan smiled, "Besides, I signed a confidentiality agreement, I believe Mr. Chen should also sign it, right? ”

There are a lot of things that can't be discussed, such as the selection and arrangement of songs by competing singers, which is the most basic.

"Hey, it's actually nothing, anyway, everyone will know sooner or later!"

Although Chen Chen said so, he didn't talk about the specifics anymore.

Instead, he talked to Li Zhifan about the arrangement, "Which song do you plan to sing in your first performance?

"I'm going to sing 'Actor'!"

Li Zhifan said, "Actually, I'm also a little selfish, the two songs I chose this time have not been as popular as the other ones in the album, I watched a few personal hits on music platforms, this song can only be ranked ninth and tenth, so I plan to push it again on this stage, I have made some new attempts in the arrangement, and I hope to hear your suggestions." ”

Strictly speaking, it can't be said that the song "Actor" is not popular, but Li Zhifan's other songs are too popular.

"In the Spring" and "On the Shore of Lake Baikal" were already on the list before the release of the new album because of the "Music Super League".

In addition, "Chinese" and "Single Love Song" are also quite popular for various reasons.

For example, "Confession Balloon" is because of the vigorous promotion of the only mobile phone, and it is among the best on several platforms.

In addition, although the songs "Still Love You", "Chengdu", "Stubborn" and "Back to Lhasa" have different rankings on each platform, they are not bad on the whole, some platforms are not very high, but some platforms can still squeeze into the top three.

is the only song "Actor" and "What Do You Want from Me", for some reason, the data of several platforms show that they are all ranked in the back rank.

Chen Chen smiled: "Then it's decided?"

"Hmm!" Li Zhifan said, asking Zhang Yao to take out a USB flash drive, "You can listen to my arrangement first!"

Chen Chen plugged in the USB flash drive, clicked on the song and closed his eyes to listen.

The prelude still has a piano, but the piano sound is no longer the main theme, it is much weaker than the original, the focus is on the low cello, and the melody of the prelude is heavier when you change the instrument to take the prelude.

When it came to the singing part, as soon as Li Zhifan's voice came out, Chen Chen's ears seemed to be caught.

Because he had to make the arrangement of this song, he listened to it dozens of times.

But in this version of singing, Li Zhifan's singing skills seem to have improved again.

The cavity resonance of the bass is very reasonable and scientific, and after a few lines of singing, it seems to have more soul than the original version.

If there's one word to describe it, it's affectionate!

This kind of eloquent singing, like telling a story, makes Chen Chen feel as if he is not listening to a song, but feeling a life.

After the song was played, Chen Chen looked at Li Zhifan and asked, "Do you want to listen to a few versions I made?"

"Okay!"

Li Zhifan nodded, put on the headphones and began to audition.

Several versions of Chen Chen are different, some add the dong flute, and some change the main instrument to the guitar.

However, in Li Zhifan's view, these are just auxiliaries.

Sometimes the most moving singing is a cappella, with a piano or guitar at most.

If the singing skills are not enough, the musical instrument will make up.

Musical instruments can set the mood or cover up the flaws in the song.

"It's too complicated!"

After listening to several versions of Chen Chen, Li Zhifan said, "I still hope that it can be done a little simpler, a little more simply." ”

"In that case, in fact, your version is completely fine!"

Chen Chen said, "On the whole, there is no need to make too many changes, but some details can be appropriately changed, such as before the second main song, if I follow the design of the third version just now, if there is a beat free, the drum beat and the singing voice go together, there will definitely be a good sense of pause!"

"You can give this a try!"

The arrangement also pays attention to the concept, which is also a thing that the music industry always likes to play, but what exactly is the concept of music, maybe even the people who play it don't know.

At this time, Li Zhifan and Chen Chen were just designing a framework and outlining the goals they wanted to achieve.

As for the concept, let's wait until the performance is over and let the audience and the critics think about it.

……

The show "Singer" was planned by Huang Tianhai.

But this model is not what he thinks, in fact, there have been many similar programs abroad.

If you say the original source, it may be from the music charts!

On the charts, it is a competition for singers to use recorded songs, and for programs like "Singer", it is a competition for singers to sing songs live, and the similarity between the two is that fans vote with their ears.

Huang Tianhai referred to dozens of music and singing programs at home and abroad, including learning experience and models from new talent shows, so as to formulate a set of rules and then improve this set of rules.

Once the show becomes popular, Huang Tianhai will definitely become famous and become a well-known first-line variety show director in China.

At the same time, as the chief planner and chief producer of this show, Huang Tianhai is in the post-production room at the moment, personally directing everyone to edit the materials recorded in the first episode.

At this time, Wang Yijia came over and whispered in Huang Tianhai's ear, "Director Huang, Zhifan is here!"

"Oh!" Huang Tianhai said without replying: "Bring him in!"

"But these ......"

Wang Yijia was surprised, "Can you let him see it?"

"It's okay!"

Huang Tianhai said, "Other singers are already familiar with this stage, and he is not only the first time, but also a challenge singer, it doesn't matter if he sees it!"

He doesn't want Li Zhifan to be eliminated in one round before he is familiar with the situation, but he can't operate in the dark, and doing it like this in the first season is tantamount to smashing his own signboard.

However, just because you can't operate in the dark doesn't mean you can't use other methods to imply.

The material of this first issue can be seen by Li Zhifan, and it also gives him a bottom in his heart.

At this time, Li Zhifan's feeling was inexplicable.

Why did you call him into the editing room?

Could it be that there is some routine that can't be done?

Standing outside the door, Li Zhifan fantasized that Huang Tianhai patted him on the shoulder and said approvingly: Zhifan, the king of singers is yours!

"Haha!"

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"Zhifan...... Uh, you're ......."

Hearing the voice, Li Zhifan looked up and found that Wang Yijia had come out of it at some point, and his expression was immediately restrained, turning into a faint smile: "Oh, it's okay, what does Director Huang mean?"

"He asked you to come in and talk!" Wang Yijia said.

Li Zhifan nodded: "Let's go!"

The editing room is like a school computer room, but the environment is like an Internet café, with hundreds of computers open at the same time, and there is an editor in front of each computer.

At this time, Huang Tianhai was standing behind an editor and pointing out the country.

Li Zhifan stepped forward and asked, "Director Huang, do you have something to do with me?"

"Zhifan is here!"

Huang Tianhai turned his head and smiled, "I asked you to come over and take a look at the competition in the first issue, I'm worried that you, as the first challenge singer, will be eliminated without knowing anything, which is a pity and a waste." And I set up such a competition system, I hope that the powerful challenge singers can cause pressure on other competing singers, if you fail to challenge directly and are eliminated, then the meaning of this competition system will be gone!"

"Director Huang, isn't this a secret?"

Li Zhifan smiled, "You just show me like this, what if someone says it's shady?"
