Chapter 120: One Hundred and Twenty, There Must Be Giving and Taking
The teacher hopes that Le Mingxiao can represent CCTV to participate in the campus singer competition, which Le Mingxiao is very willing, but he is a person with a contract with an economic company, and the work arrangement must be discussed with his agent Lin Chen first.
The next day, Le Mingxiao went to the company to ask Lin Chen's opinion in person, and after listening to his words, the other party did not directly agree and object, but turned out a piece of paper from the text Jiร n folder and gave it to him.
"Let's take a look at this first."
It was a job offer, and after Le Mingxiao roughly browsed it, he found that it was an invitation from X Satellite TV.
X Satellite TV is preparing to open a reality show in the music competition category, which will be a focus of the TV station in the third quarter. In recent years, reality shows have become more and more popular, and there are naturally many music-themed programs.
This show is called "Who is the King of Rookies", and the program team sent invitations to eight famous record companies in the industry, and each contestant must debut within five years. The show takes the form of a record company team battle, each team has a total of seven people, and the contestants will be scored by professional judges every time they sing, and the contestants with high scores will not only win the bargaining chips for the group to win, but also the top seven contestants will enter the finals to compete for the crown of the newcomer king.
This kind of competition form is rare, Le Mingxiao hesitated a little, and he asked Lin Chen, "Sister Lin wants me to take over this show?" โ
Lin Chen said: "In the first half of the year, you only made one movie, the movie has not been broadcast yet, and you have no other works, now is the time to consolidate your popularity." โ
How could Le Mingxiao not understand what Lin Chen meant, X Satellite TV has always been the best in variety shows, and the variety shows they make are not only ratings guarantees, but also never lack topics, how many stars have become popular from X Satellite TV's variety shows, so whenever X Satellite TV opens a new program, there are countless artists who want to stuff themselves into it. At the beginning, Le Mingxiao also participated in X Satellite TV's "Star Sound Battle" and officially debuted, and they have not broken off cooperation with each other in the past few years, and they can be regarded as half of their mother's station, so if the other party personally sent an invitation, he had no reason to refuse, of course, the premise was that he didn't know that the school recommended him to participate in the campus singer competition.
Le Mingxiao browsed on the article for a while, thought about it, and said, "Sister Lin, besides me, who else is the company going to let form a team together?" โ
"The company hasn't decided on a specific candidate yet," Lin Chen said, "But in addition to you being invited by the program team, the other one who was named was Li Xin, the market response of his second specialty was not as good as expected, and Li Changhe's guy will definitely not let Li Xin miss this opportunity." Speaking of this, Lin Chen pursed his lips, "That's why I've been hesitating to let you go, it's really a narrow road." โ
Seeing Lin Chen's reaction, Le Mingxiao breathed a sigh of relief, and he said: "Sister Lin should also know, when the Xingsheng Battle was in the beginning, the outside world has been comparing me and Li Xin, and now we each have our own development, Sister Lin doesn't want the outside to tie us together again, right?" โ
"It's this ...... that I'm hesitating about," Lin Chen said, but he thought of something halfway through his words, and looked at Le Mingxiao with a suspicious expression, "You kid are playing a trick on me, right?" โ
Le Mingxiao touched the back of his head, and said with some embarrassment: "Hehe, I can't hide anything from Sister Lin." โ
"So you've already made up your mind?"
Le Mingxiao was stunned for a moment, and then understood what Lin Chen was referring to, so he said: "Actually, I also want to participate in this show, but I have already promised the teacher in advance, Sister Lin, you let me be willful this time." He said sincerely, "I know that the ratings of CCTV's variety shows have never been high, and their publicity can't keep up, but after all, it's a CCTV program, and it's hosted by โกโก, maybe it can open another new door for me." โ
Lin Chen looked at Le Mingxiao, and after being silent for a moment, he suddenly sighed lightly: "You kid, you are also getting more and more of your own ideas. Well, I'll rely on you this time. โ
"Thank you, Sister Lin!" Le Mingxiao said gratefully, "Sister Lin, don't worry, I will definitely work harder in other aspects to earn back those potential popularity that I lost!" โ
With the consent of the economic company, Le Mingxiao replied to his counselor, and the teacher said that Le Mingxiao is really a good student with thoughts and consciousness, and the school will definitely give him a credit in the credit book in the future.
This campus singer contest is jointly sponsored by โกโก and CCTV variety shows, covering 31 cities across the country, a total of thousands of college students signed up to participate, and the registration method is also based on the school, but the real competition is still based on individual competitions.
The whole competition is divided into three stages: preliminary, semi-final, and finals, the process of the preliminary stage of the sub-division is relatively simple, and the process is very fast, and it will officially land on the stage of CCTV variety show in the semi-final stage, because Le Mingxiao is a player specially recommended by the school, so he was exempted from the preliminary round and directly entered the semi-final stage.
When the semi-finals officially began, it was already July, which was the hottest season of the year, and the program "Who is the Rookie King" on X Satellite TV was also broadcast at about the same time. Compared with the ace variety show created by X Satellite TV's efforts to create the whole Taiwan, the campus singer contest that Le Mingxiao participated in is naturally not enough to watch at all, firstly, they are mainly amateurs, and secondly, the TV station is not concerned about publicity at all, what kind of situation is it when the program is broadcast, the ratings are beaten, and the popularity of the Internet is not even a fraction of what people do.
If it weren't for Le Mingxiao, a popular idol, who would participate, I am afraid that the majority of netizens would not know that there was such a competition, and when it was learned that he had rejected the invitation of X Satellite TV in order to participate in this competition, the general reaction of the outside world was that he was not crazy, and the Internet even began to spread that Le Mingxiao had fallen out of favor and was beaten into the cold palace by the company, but fortunately, the company has been supporting him on the surface, and there is no less publicity for him to participate in this competition, otherwise those fans who like him will already be cold.
However, Le Mingxiao actually has his own ideas, fighting for the honor of the school on the one hand, and on the other hand, it is mainly because of the nature of the competition. The contest is also scored by professional judges, and compared to the current popular reality shows, it is less entertaining, but it is a real competition, although no competition can guarantee absolute fairness, but at least the contestants can have relative autonomy.
Here, in addition to the link of fixed track PK, there is also a link of free selection of tracks, Le Mingxiao can choose to sing his favorite songs, no need to deliberately cater to the preferences of the audience and judges, no need to say a bunch of messy nonsense, no need to sensationalize, and truly return to the music itself. And beyond Le Mingxiao's imagination, there are many professional singers like him who are still on campus but have debuted, with the advancement of the competition, Le Mingxiao has become more and more in the state, struggling with his peers, he has regained the sense of enthusiasm he had when he first stood on the stage, and he has also made a lot of new friends who like to play music as much as he does.
The process of the game is not complicated, the weekly live broadcast is scheduled for Saturday night, and usually the theme of the next game will be determined after the game, and the rehearsal will be held one or two days before the live broadcast, and then the live broadcast will be live. In the time between games, Le Mingxiao still worked as usual. Because he pushed away the ace variety show of X Satellite TV, it was equivalent to losing many opportunities for exposure, Le Mingxiao had to run more announcements to maintain his popularity, perform on the platform, record some regular variety shows, shoot magazines, and receive new endorsements, he also made guest appearances in two new movies, and tailored a new single for a diva-level singer in the circle, and this single also became one of the pop hits of the year.
When he didn't have a job, of course, Le Mingxiao put most of his energy into the preparation of his second college, and at the same time, the record adapted from folk songs was also in the process of creation. In addition, Le Mingxiao also has the show "Who is the Rookie King" on X Satellite TV.
As expected, this show is really popular. In addition to Li Xin is special invitation from the TV station, because of Le Mingxiao's withdrawal, the company gave his quota to the combination of Jiang Yue and Bian Xiangdong, and among the remaining places, there are two singers who are also from their star campaign, and the other three are three newcomer female singers.
They represent the Starlight Music team under Starlight Media to participate in the show, among these eight contestants, Li Xin's strength is very outstanding in the entire music world, needless to say, the rest are also with their own characteristics and good strength, especially the combination of Jiang Yue and Bian Xiangdong can achieve the effect of one plus one is greater than two.
In the first stage of the show, the eight teams were drawn separately, and then two by two PK, Starlight Music entered the next round with an absolute advantage, and Li Xin also occupied the first place in the personal rankings, laying a good foundation for himself to enter the final rookie king battle.
Le Mingxiao will chase after the first issue as long as he has time, even if he can't watch the live broadcast at the time, he will make up the video later. It can be seen that X Satellite TV has invested a lot in this show, the hardware facilities such as lighting and sound are the best, the live band is also first-class, and the judges responsible for scoring are some senior musicians in the circle. Looking at such a luxurious configuration, Le Mingxiao was a little envious of Li Xin and them, but life is like this, there must always be a give-and-take......
