Chapter 404, "See-you-again"!
The next morning, ten o'clock.
Jiang Lun arrived in Hangzhou by flight.
rushed to the location of the "Voice" studio before eleven o'clock.
After more than a month, the home of "The Voice" has been built and entered the stage of repeated testing.
At the same time, the landing auditions in major cities across the country have also begun to be carried out simultaneously, in these aspects, Jiangsu and Zhejiang Satellite TV has found a professional cultural performing arts company to be responsible for this matter.
As soon as Jiang Lun arrived at the scene, he began to play with the chair excitedly.
"Smack!"
With a hard slap of the hand, the chair immediately rotated 180 degrees with agility.
On the stage, the LED floor tile lights corresponding to the chairs also lit up instantly, and a circle of small spotlights on the top also lit up at the same time, emitting a soft beam.
"Dazzle!"
Jiang Lun couldn't help but applaud, this was exactly the effect he wanted.
When all four instructors turn around, all four circles of lights on the top of the stage will be illuminated, and the lighting effect will be much taller than the current circle.
In addition, coupled with the sparkling LED lights on the ground, this effect will only be stronger.
Just as Jiang Lun was excitedly trying the chair, Tang Jiuxin ran over.
"Mr. Jiang!"
Tang Jiuxin came over breathlessly, "You won't tell me when you come, I was just about to call you!"
"What's wrong?"
Jiang Lun turned his head to look at him, and the excitement on his face had not yet passed.
"That's it!" Tang Jiuxin stepped forward with a few pieces of paper, "This is the candidate for the fourth mentor, when the third one was not determined before, we didn't want to contact them, but now there is a flip, they all want to come, you see......"
"Haven't decided yet?"
Jiang Lun glanced at it and said casually, "The appearance fee, variety show effect, entry qualifications, and relationship with the station...... You can make up your own minds, my conditions are still those ones, and it's up to you to decide who to choose, right?"
Tang Jiuxin smiled bitterly, "I also know, but throw away those who don't have a good relationship with Taili, and the rest have a good relationship with Taili, and no one is easy to offend!"
"And you mean to offend me?"
Jiang Lun squinted and smiled, "Old Tang, you have a good wishful thinking?"
"Hey, that's not what you mean!"
Tang Jiuxin sneered, "Anyway, who is chosen, we won't say it to the public, only you know!"
"Then I'll take a look!"
Jiang Lun picked up the information on these mentor candidates again and studied them.
The first candidate is Singaporean singer Wu Di, this guy's entry information is also very rich, he entered the Chinese market in 08, and he has also participated in many talent shows and served as a lot of judges.
There are only two ways for artists to make money now, on variety shows and concerts, of course, these two paths can be parallel, but if the general entertainment reality show variety show can't be played, plus if the qualifications are enough and can convince the public, they will consider serving as a judge of major talent competitions.
Wu Di is this kind of person, holding concerts and serving as judges at the same time.
In fact, he is not very old, only 31 years old, but there is such a phenomenon in the Chinese entertainment industry - foreign monks are good at chanting.
Wu Di is such an alien monk who has won the market in China by relying on his identity as a Singaporean Chinese singer.
Coupled with the fact that his music is very Western, it has naturally become one of the popular trends among teenagers.
The second is named Chen Yungao, a singer, host, and musician from Taiwan, who has settled in the magic capital over the years, and his work is mainly based on the mainland market.
Chen Yungao's qualifications are not very special, but he is also an old man in the entertainment industry, he has been singing and hosting since the 80s of the last century, and he has two things worth bragging about, that is, the first Taiwan singer to hold a concert in Beijing, and the first Taiwan singer to appear on the stage of CCTV Spring Festival Gala.
And then...... There is no then.
He is the typical representative of the kind of song that eats for a lifetime.
Of course, Chen Yungao actually has more than one or two songs, but he is well-known, and there are only two popular ones.
In recent years, Chen Yungao has spent most of his time in the mainland hosting shows, and his singing career has gradually been put down.
Compared with Wu Di, after the 90s, he has neither created any trends, nor has he made any contributions to Chinese music internationally.
The third, Lin Hai, is also a singer from Taidao, known as the old naughty boy of music.
He has a good relationship with Lu Zongjian, and he is also very similar to Chen Yungao, hosting filming and playing music, very versatile.
Lin Hai's information was placed in front of him, and Wu Di and **** Gao in front of him suddenly dimmed.
Jiang Lun couldn't help but pick up Lin Hai's information and asked Tang Jiuxin, "Isn't there a suitable candidate?
"This ......"
Tang Jiuxin glanced at Lin Hai's information and couldn't help but smile bitterly, "You can really pick, although Lin Hai has been in the industry longer than Wu Di and his music quality is higher than ****, but he has always been a second-tier star, our first three mentors are all first-line or super first-line superstars, and suddenly a second-tier star comes out, isn't it suitable?"
The second line in Tang Jiuxin's mouth is not evaluated by their popularity, but by the appearance fee, which is also a rule in the industry.
For example, the single appearance fee of the show on the event of a superstar can be opened to three to five million, or even higher, while the first line is between 500,000 and 1 million, and the second line is 500,000 or more.
Although Lin Hai seems to be more popular than Wu Di and them, in fact, his appearance fee is not as high as Wu Di and them, so he is a second-tier star.
Jiang Lun smiled faintly, "This is just the definition of people in our circle, the common people don't think so, I don't think many viewers will think that Lin Hai is a second-tier star, besides, when our program is broadcast, his music professionalism and variety show talent will be revealed in front of the audience, and the appearance fee will definitely rise, and when the time comes, it will definitely not be second-tier obvious." ”
"This ......"
Tang Jiuxin pondered for a while, in fact, with Lin Hai's qualifications, he could enter the front line, but a divorce case a few years ago made him come to the mainland from Taiwan Island to redevelop, but it also brought his career to a standstill.
Over the years, Lin Hai's age has increased and his qualifications have risen, but the appearance fee has not increased.
If you think about it, it's a pity.
After thinking about it, Tang Jiuxin nodded, "Okay!
"Hmm!"
Jiang Lun smiled, "Take the time to invite the four mentors over, have a meeting with them, and let them familiarize themselves with the scene." ”
"Okay!" Tang Jiuxin nodded, "Mr. Jiang, do you have any other guidance?"
"Not for the time being, let's talk about it when we start recording!"
"That ......"
Tang Jiuxin asked again, "Do you have any promising young juniors who want them to be on the show, you can recommend them!"
"I didn't!"
Jiang Lun actually doesn't like to engage in those fictions, but "The Voice of China" is a TV show after all, and this industry has these drawbacks.
And those players who go through the back door also have to look at their strength, not that they can advance with the back door.
Unless in the later seasons, there can be some contestants who have spent money on the show to play a trick and play a round of tours.
……
Capital.
Lin Hai is cooking at home, and now the performance market is not very sluggish, in addition to TV shows, his work occasionally participates in some flat performances, and his side business is engaged in investment, and he is not too busy.
If an artist is not busy, it means that the income is not high, Lin Hai knows this very well, so he will try his best to fight for any job.
He didn't agree to the mentor qualification of "The Voice of China" this time, although he has been filming and playing music over the years, he has not served as a judge for any competitions, if he is asked to host, he will definitely agree.
And as a mentor, I am afraid that I will not perform well.
Later, after reading the promotional advertisement of "The Voice of China" and the information of the three mentors that had been determined, he was a little moved and tried to contact Tang Jiuxin, but he actually had no plans.
However, before the meal was ready, the landline in the house rang.
Lin Customs caught fire, walked back to the house and picked up the phone, "Hey?"
"Brother Hai! I'm Old Tang!"
On the other side, it was Tang Jiuxin who called in person.
Lin Hai was very indifferent, he must have no play, Lao Tang was embarrassed to call himself to explain in person, and couldn't help but laugh, "Director Tang! Alas, it's okay, I just want to give it a try, if there is other work in the backstage, you can also contact me or my agent." ”
"What do you say?"
Tang Jiuxin was happy, "No need to go later, I'll look for you this time!"
"What are you looking for me, what are you looking for me?"
Lin Hai's eyes lit up and his spirit was shocked, but he didn't dare to be sure.
"Be a mentor?"
Tang Jiuxin said with a smile, "You are ready to prepare, come to Hangzhou on April 18, and call me then!"
"Me?"
Lin Hai was so excited that he couldn't speak, "Really, really?
"Of course it's you, what do you think?"
Tang Jiuxin suddenly said mysteriously, "I can let you be the fourth mentor, it was Jiang Lun who chose it, Xiao Jiang said, this show needs an old-timer like you!"
"Jiang Lun?"
Lin Hai muttered silently, his eyes suddenly filled with tears, "Okay, okay, you thank him for me...... Oh no, see you another day, I thank him personally!"
"Okay, and me, let's drink together then!"
"Okay, I'm in for a treat!"
Hanging up the phone, Lin Hai sighed, took the microphone, and broadcast a number out.
After connecting there, Lin Hai said eagerly, "Teacher Lu, did you recommend me to Jiang Lun?"
"I?
Lu Zongjian was stunned for a moment, and then understood, "Ah? You also serve as the mentor of "The Voice"?"
"Well, Director Tang just called, I thought it was you who helped. Lin Hai said.
"I don't!" Lu Zongjian said with a smile, "Do you want me to help you ask Jiang Lun?"
"Don't!" Lin Hai hurriedly said, "What, in that case, I'll meet him another day and thank him personally!"
"That's as it should be!"
Lu Zongjian smiled, "Oh, I can work with you again, although this time it's a variety show, I'm still looking forward to it." ”
"I'm also looking forward to it, I hope I can get the guidance of the teacher in the show!"
"Haha, okay!
"OK!
……
Jiang Lun has been busy during this time.
On the morning of April 10, he left his job at "The Voice" and set off again for California in the Western Hemisphere.
Philippo's funeral is to take place tomorrow morning, but this funeral is only for Philippo's relatives and no outsiders are invited.
So Rhine decided to hold a memorial service for him on the second day of the funeral, that is, on the 12th, and invited all the insiders who had worked with him, as well as his former friends.
Jiang Lun came two days in advance, also to see if there was anything he could help with.
But the actual situation is that he can't help in any way, Rhine is in charge of the memorial service, and the location has been decided, just where Philipto is buried, and everything else is done, Jiang Lun only needs to attend.
In the hotel room, Jiang Lun was sitting on the table in front of the window, looking at the relevant reports in the newspaper, and his mood became very sad.
Although he and Philippeto only worked together for a short week, that doesn't mean there is no friendship between them.
During that week, Philippeto gave him a lecture and praised his "Spider-Man".
Jiang Lun also told him that if "Spider-Man" starts filming and production one day, he will definitely be asked to be the producer and assistant director.
And Philipto readily agreed.
What should I do?
What can I do?
Jiang Lun rang for a long time, and suddenly, a melody and a story flashed through his mind.
He hurriedly took out a USB flash drive from his suitcase, all of which were English songs, and he went abroad to take this USB flash drive to prepare for emergencies.
After rummaging through the USB flash drive for a long time, I finally found a song - "See-you-again".
The background of this song, Jiang Lun vaguely remembers that it seems that an actor died in a car accident, and his friends wrote it for him, and it became the theme song of his posthumous work.
Jiang Lun didn't expect this song to become the theme song of "Captain Earth", but it was just right to commemorate Philipto.
Turn on the music and listen to it while pulling through a few pieces of paper to start copying the score and lyrics.
It started at 4 p.m. and lasted until 9 p.m., when the lyrics and music were finally copied.
Jiang Lun took the freshly written "See-you-again" and immediately called Robert.
Robert hadn't slept yet, and when he received a call from Jiang Lun, the first sentence was, "Jiang Lun, you stay in the room with peace of mind, and I will call you before the memorial service the day after tomorrow." ”
"No!"
Jiang Lun said, "I have another thing to tell you, I wrote a song to commemorate Director Philippo, hoping to find some of his friends, and we will sing this song together!"
"Oh, the song you wrote?"
Robert had no doubts about Jiang Lun's musical talent, and said immediately, "I'll help you contact you tomorrow, but can I listen to it on the phone first?"
"Absolutely!"
Jiang Lun cleared his throat and began to sing:
"Without your old friend, life is really long!
When I reunite with you, I'll open my heart and tell you all!
Looking back, we have walked a long journey hand in hand!
When I reunite with you, I'll open my heart and tell you all!
When I reunite with you......"
After listening to this paragraph, Robert was silent for a while, and then his voice trembled, "I'll contact you now, you wait." (To be continued.) )
