Chapter 279: Listening to thunder in a silent place
"In order to control the whole game smoothly, you don't want Li Youyang and them to arrive early?
Meng Xiaodong is not stupid, but when he jumped out of his circle, he was also a rare smart person. Now that I hear Zong Dacheng say this, I understand a little more.
However, Zong Dacheng did not give him a chance to express his opinions, but told the plan for this competition that the organizing committee, the TV station, and even the major judges and many parties discussed overnight yesterday.
"That's right, in fact, at the beginning, the station and the organizing committee also planned to let Li Youyang and the children of the Warm Spring Choir come to the competition site at five o'clock last night or this morning, just like you. It's just that last night, when all the judges arrived, after the discussion of the four major entertainment giants such as Dong Yuanhao, as well as Ying Lao and Qin Taosheng and others, everyone agreed that it was best to put the time of Li Youyang's competition this afternoon. Why?"
"First, I'm not afraid to tell you, it's for commercial purposes, or for the sake of the profits of our TV station itself. As you know, this provincial competition is the top 12 of our three major regions in Hebei Province, today is the first day, and the original plan is to finish in one day, 12 into 8, to determine the top eight. ”
"And then, because we're a singing contest and it's live, as is customary, and in order to get the highest level of attention and increase the ratings commercially. At the same time, it can also allow the top eight teams to adjust their own condition, leaving enough time for rehearsals and other preparations, so the top 8 matches after 12 into 8 will be held again in five days. Similarly, the semi-finals after 8-in-4, that is, the finals, will be held in 10 days. ”
"So, the whole cycle of this provincial competition is 15 days, and there are three games, and these three games will be live. So. Since there will be a gap of a few days between each game, as far as today is concerned, don't look at the crowd at the moment, but you should also know who they are for. Facing the live broadcast of this game, our provincial entertainment channel talked with the two giants of CCTV Literature and Art Channel and Music Channel, and finally reached a consensus with the big bosses of CCTV, and also expressed their determination to set up a military order!"
"No matter how huge the scene will be, our provincial Taiwan will definitely be able to host it! In addition, this is originally our music competition in northern Hebei Province, and you CCTV will be our leader again. I don't have the right to overstep the bounds and take our game to CCTV live broadcast, what's even more hateful, Xiao Meng, don't you know, the CCTV gang originally wanted to change the location of this game to the studio hall in Kyoto, how can I agree?"
Zong Dacheng said this in one breath, and when he saw that Meng Xiaodong was fascinated by what he heard, he smiled again. Unscrewed a bottle of mineral water on the table, took a sip, and wanted to continue. It's just that at this time, the relevant staff came over to remind him, and also reminded Meng Xiaodong, saying that the above two groups of teams have finished competing, in order. It's time for Meng Xiaodong and them to play.
However, Zong Dacheng looked at the situation on the field, and then at Meng Xiaodong, but waved his hand and said: "Anyway, in this top 12 match, in order to allow every team to play with the best mentality." There are those who are willing to play first, and there are those who are willing to play later, and the arrangement of the order of the game is completely negotiable. There are no hard and fast rules. By the way, I remember that it wasn't the children of Baozhou Yucai Elementary School and the choir always wanted to play first? ”
The staff left in response, and Zong Dacheng turned around and said to Meng Xiaodong with a smile: "Although according to the arrangement on the official list, you are ranked in the front, but it is also noted at the bottom that for the sake of the on-site effect, we have the right to reasonably adjust the order of the game." Fortunately, this is 12 into 8, and the morning and evening singing are the same, subject to the judges' scores. It's not a one-on-one knockout round after entering the quarterfinals, but after entering the quarterfinals, it all depends on the draw, whoever is drawn is who, and the two-by-two duel can't be adjusted at will like this. However, Xiao Meng, you can't underestimate the children of Baozhou Yucai Primary School, and the songs they sing are also very special, let you listen to them first, and you can have a bottom in your heart, which will benefit you a lot. ”
Zong Dacheng's smile became more and more mysterious, and Meng Xiaodong also heard that there was something in his words, as if Zong Dacheng was doing something to use power for personal gain, if Meng Xiaodong listened to the singing of the children of Baozhou Yucai Primary School first, he would definitely be able to take a big advantage.
What song will Baozhou Yucai Primary School sing, Zong Dacheng's words really make Meng Xiaodong's heart total, according to the requirements of the competition, the songs of each team are absolutely confidential from the moment they come to the stage, and it is forbidden to inquire through various channels. Needless to say, 12 into 8, each rehearsed in the place, just come and sing live. Even after entering the top 8, the rehearsals of the top 8 teams within five days will also be their own closed training, except for the organizing committee and the director team, the outside world and the participating teams are also unknown.
However, no matter what, each team will still submit a competition song list to the organizing committee before the competition, just like Meng Xiaodong submitted his famous work "Better Tomorrow" for this 12 into 8.
This song just doesn't say it, in fact, other teams are also very easy to guess, in order to successfully advance to the top eight, Meng Xiaodong will definitely be the first to sacrifice, and even the top 8 or even the top 4 in the future, Meng Xiaodong will continue to use it if he doesn't get it right. There's nothing to be ashamed of, the so-called tricks are all over the place, and this is even more common in the music world, especially in the world of children's songs, which has always been dull.
In particular, although Meng Xiaodong's "Better Tomorrow" is a children's song, according to the requirements of the "Singer Convention", it has also been added to the convention, that is, he doesn't use it, it is a song that is completely public and has a high degree of popularity, even if he doesn't use it, in these top 12, I'm afraid some people will use it.
There is no way, in this world, after more than ten years of domination of Chinese children's music "Let's Swing the Sculls", Meng Xiaodong's song "Tomorrow is Better" appeared, which really gives people the feeling of listening to thunder in a silent place!
However, can only "Better Tomorrow" give people the feeling of listening to thunder in a silent place?
Spring flowers, autumn winds, and winter sunsets
Melancholy youth, I used to think ignorantly
The windmill flows every day in the song of the four seasons
In the poems of the wind and snow, I am growing up year after year
The story of flowing water and taking away time changes a person
When the immature voices of the children of Baozhou Yucai Primary School resounded in the studio hall and also in Meng Xiaodong's ears, Meng Xiaodong had a real feeling of listening to the thunder in a silent place! Moreover, it was as if he saw a door slowly opening to him!
It's just that at the end of his heart, he still didn't admit defeat, but he still looked at Zong Dacheng fiercely, and shouted duplicitously: "Li Youyang! "The Story of Time"! How is this possible! This is a pop song! How can children be allowed to sing pop songs!"
It's just that Zong Dacheng no longer paid attention to him, but began to continue to talk to him about what he had said before: "Why did you arrange Li Youyang in the afternoon, I just said one thing, then the other one?"
