Chapter 65: Wei Bole
The next day, the three of them took a flying car and quietly arrived at a villa in the suburbs of Xiangzhou, where the two sides agreed to meet, not arranged in Xiangzhou Satellite TV or in the big hotel, it can be seen that the other party keeps it secret to the end, even if it is a negotiation with a singer whose intention has not yet been determined, it is also cautious, or because it is related to the attention of the show, no matter how careful it is.

"For this show, every time you meet with a different singer, you will choose a different location, right?" Lin Qihua asked with a smile.
"Possibly. Shen Manni suddenly felt a little nervous, hearing Lin Qihua's question, remembering that every time the person in charge of the program team had to hide, she couldn't help laughing, and her nervousness melted a lot.
When they came to the door of the villa, there were already people waiting there to lead them to the living room, as expected, except for the people who brought them in, there were only two people in the living room, and the middle-aged man sitting in the middle stood up and shook hands with Lin Qihua, "First meeting, I am Wei Hongbo, welcome to you." β
"Hello Director Wei," Lin Qihua was a little flattered by Wei Hongbo's enthusiasm, and hurried to greet him.
After the introductions of the two parties, they sat down again, and the two people around Wei Hongbo were his personal assistant Yu Hezhi and assistant director Ge Shengyang, who is also a famous music critic.
Lin Qihua sat down and took a closer look at Wei Hongbo, the producer and chief director of the top live variety show "Singer" is a little bald, and his dress is not outstanding, but what makes people can't ignore him is his eyes, wise, decisive, and sharp, which is his first impression.
"What's the matter? Are you disappointed to see me?" Wei Hongbo smiled, "It's different from what I imagined?
Everyone in the room laughed in agreement.
"Where?" Lin Qihua replied with a smile, "I was just thinking, Wei Bole's name is indeed true, and he really has a pair of Bole eyes." β
"Are you playing a trick on me?" Wei Hongboxiang said angrily, but his eyes betrayed himself, the music world Bole is the most proud thing in his life, under his excavation, every year there are singers who are not familiar to the public, in "Singing General" This stage became famous overnight, start a new acting career, whether you are a new singer or a singer or a little-known foreign singer, as long as you do have the strength, he can dig you out, shine on this stage, over time, the name of Bole in the music world, go far and wide, after these singers become famous, they are also grateful to him, it can be said that if he says a word, at least half of the people in the music world will come out to cheer for him, which shows the great fame, and these are obtained by relying on his eyesγ
"No, I praise you very sincerely, and you can also take it as an ulterior motive. Lin Qihua smiled, "The purpose of our coming is very clear, if we can get the favor of you, Bole, it is not too flattering." β
"It's direct, but I like it. Wei Hongbo looked at Lin Qihua in surprise, and when other singers saw him, they would express their thoughts very implicitly, but the person in front of him was not pretentious, but it made people feel good, because since everyone was sitting together, what was the purpose, it was not obvious, why bother going around and around.
"I love it too. Assistant director Ge Shengyang also smiled, "It seems that you came prepared." β
"If we don't prepare, how dare we come to fight for the qualification to participate in "Singing General", which is the top stage in the country?" Shen Manni picked up the words and smiled, "Isn't this the biggest disrespect for this stage?"
"Well said. Wei Hongbo stroked his palms and smiled, "It turns out that I just agreed to meet you because I didn't miss every singer who intended to come here, and at the same time, with a trace of curiosity, I agreed to meet you, and now, I think I'm coming to the right place, you have made me interested, then, please convince me." β
"I'll do it. Lin Qihua grabbed Shen Manni, gave her a firm look, and turned to Wei Hongbo, "Since Director Wei is happy, I will also say it bluntly, I dare to be bold and recommend myself, there are several reasons." β
"Speak. β
"First," Lin Qihua raised a finger and said softly, "Strength, this is the most fundamental and most important, I have this strength, especially the live broadcast, I have this confidence, I can bring surprises to the national audience on this stage and make you satisfied." β
"Okay, that's right, strength comes first, if you don't have strength, you don't need to talk about anything else. Wei Hongbo agreed, "However, powerful singers, the music scene grabs a lot, and as soon as I speak, who doesn't want to come?"
"Yes, so, the second one, I'm the creator, and all the songs I bring are original, and I can guarantee that on this stage, every time I sing it, it will be a song that the audience has never heard before, and it can bring enough freshness to this stage," Lin Qihua continued, "I believe that this will be a very big selling point, exciting enough, and appetizing enough, right?"
Wei Hongbo nodded sympathetically, the meaning of Lin Qihua's words, he also understands very well, that is, "Singer" has gone through so many years, it can be said that the songs that should be covered have almost been covered once, how to bring forth the new is the biggest difficulty faced by the program team, some classic songs, due to Zhuyu in front, no matter how they are adapted, it is difficult to meet the audience's psychological expectations, which is also "Singer" in recent years has been seeking a breakthrough, from recording and broadcasting to live broadcast, from the past can only cover and adapt other people's songs to now vigorously encourage originality, vigorously recruit musicians to join in and provide new adaptation ideas, the purpose is this, what Lin Qihua said, it can be said that it is right in his heart, if it can really be done, then, Lin Qihua is likely to become the X factor of this stage.
A program needs to continue to attract high attention, sometimes, what is needed is just a topic, a breaking point, and a rhythm can push the whole show to a new height, and due to the catfish effect, the outbreak of a singer can also stimulate the state of other singers, and then improve the quality of the whole program, why Wei Hongbo has always insisted on digging out singers who are not famous but have strength? There are always one or two shining on this stage in each issue, and the purpose is precisely this.
"You're really well prepared. Ge Shengyang looked at his old partner's expression, and Lin Qihua smiled, "With the opening of the live broadcast mode, our "Singer" can be said to have scared many people, without sound repair, fine-tuning and post-editing, many well-known singers have retreated, which has also affected the quality of the show to a certain extent, what are the highlights of this issue, we are still having a headache, you can be regarded as sending a painkiller to Director Wei." β
Lin Qihua smiled, this is indeed the result of previous discussions, although "Singer" has always been at the top of the existence, but due to the live broadcast mode, compared with the recorded program, there are more advantages but also a lot less convenience, several well-known singers have planted a fight on it, causing other well-known singers to have a sense of fear, and they have refused to participate for safety reasons, which is understandable, for them, I participate in other programs, the attention is as high, and it is very safe, why do I have to come to this show? If you are not careful, you will stumble in front of you, and the gains outweigh the losses, which also objectively leads to the quality of the singers in the past two years, which is not as good as before, resulting in the quality of the entire show not meeting expectations, the audience likes live broadcasts, but your quality is not as good as before, and you will have the same opinion, in this way, it gives other programs the opportunity to shorten the distance with "Singer", it is impossible to say that Wei Hongbo has no pressure, at this time, give him a reassurance, an opportunity to detonate the stage, so that it is difficult for him to refuse.
"The live broadcast mode, I think there must be nothing wrong," Lin Qihua affirmed, "Our music scene, from the previous lip-synching to real singing, in the future, must also move from recording to live broadcasting, is a mule is a horse to come out and slip, relying on the convenience of recording and broadcasting, there is no motivation to move forward, in this regard, I admire Director Wei very much, dare to be the first in the world, open the era of live broadcasting, this alone, it is worthy of our admiration, maybe now we have encountered a little difficulty, but history will eventually remember, it was Director Wei who single-handedly opened the prelude to the live broadcast era. β
"Bang bang. Wei Hongbo shook his head while applauding, "I can feel your determination, how much preparation have you made for this stage? Have you studied us all thoroughly? I can't help but feel like a confidant with you, admire." β
"That's what I mean by the heart, and if I didn't make it to this stage, I would say the same. Lin Qihua shook his head and said, "I'm confident, if I don't work this year, I will definitely let Director Wei personally invite me next year, and in a year, I have this confidence." β
"Well, I appreciate your confidence. Wei Hongbo nodded in affirmation.
"The third point," Lin Qihua said confidently, My attitude is very clear, as long as I can participate in the performance, there is no requirement for the results, even if the first game is eliminated, I have no opinion, because even if the first game is eliminated, I also have the opportunity to sing two songs, and what I need is this opportunity, because I need this stage as the stage for my comeback, as long as I am given the opportunity, I am confident that the national audience will recognize me, recognize my strength, and know that I sing well, in this way, I will achieve my ultimate goal, what are the results? It's really not within my consideration, and it will definitely not make it difficult for Director Wei. β
"Are you doubting the fairness of the show?" Ge Shengyang said angrily.
"No," Lin Qihua shook his head, "I'm just stating my attitude towards the competition, as a singer who has participated in many top singers, the competition system is too cruel, the elimination is too intense, it is a very cruel thing for singers, many singers are difficult to accept being eliminated, in this way, the program team will definitely have difficult times, at this time, I am the person who can be launched, it doesn't matter whether it is fair or not, because, music sometimes, it is difficult to distinguish the winner or loser, if necessary, I can fully cooperate." β
