Chapter 261: Familiar Faces
This night must have been a sleepless night for these young boys and girls who were about to be examined, and almost every one of them practiced singing all night in order to have a good performance.
For them, this is definitely a life-changing opportunity, so of course they will do everything they can to fight for it.
In the early morning of the next day, the contestants of the first fifty came to the hall early, and it didn't take long for the band invited by Hong Ning to come, which was the original band of the previous "I Am a Singer" program, because of their cooperation in the show, they heard about Hong Ning's request this time, and agreed to help him with almost no hesitation, and the price given to him was also very friendly.
Each contestant tells the band what they want to sing, and then rehearses in turn, and everyone only has one chance, after all, there are so many people and time is so limited.
There is nothing that needs to be changed in the arrangement of each of them, and it is unlikely that they will adapt it in such a short time, so they all follow the arrangement of the demo.
It's also easier for bands, they just have to play in order.
The rehearsal lasted from eight o'clock in the morning to noon, and almost all of the fifty people who were drawn by lot came here, sitting below to watch them rehearse, they all wanted to see how others sang, as the old saying goes, knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent can win all battles, although they are very confident in their singing skills, but most of them also understand the truth of people outside people.
……
Studio.
Hong Ning sat on the sofa, his brows furrowed.
He was holding a piece of paper in his hand, and there were thousands of words written on it, at least half of which were all about patting his ass, and saying how much he liked and admired him, and then what kind of musical dreams and so on, in short, hoping that he would open a back door.
And in the envelope where this piece of paper was before, there was also a huge check!
"Heh, it's really rich!" Hong Ning sneered at the capitalized words on the check.
"This Liu Ming's father seems to be the richest man in the local area, with a net worth of more than 10 billion, of course he can get this money, and among the few people who have this idea this time, he is the most generous in his family!" Xiang Yu, who was sitting opposite Hong Ning, also smiled.
"I've heard of this kid before, he has always wanted to enter the entertainment industry, wants to be a singer, wants to be popular, it stands to reason that his father is so rich, he does have a bit of a foundation, and he has studied music at home and abroad for so many years, he should be very hopeful, but he has been tossing for four or five years, and he went to South Korea as a trainee, and he frequently participated in talent shows in China, and he also signed a contract with a brokerage company to release records, but until now he has never even mixed up with a third-tier artist, tsk. ”
"It's not so easy to think about fire. Hong Ning shook his head and said with a wry smile.
Lao Xiang nodded and said: "Yes, he has singing skills, and he can at least be regarded as an upper-middle level among the current online singers, but he doesn't know anything about creation, and he doesn't have too many personal characteristics, even if his father throws money hard, it's difficult to become popular, hmm...... His problem is actually a problem for many new singers now, singing skills and appearance are passable, but they just can't get good works for people to remember, although people like to look at faces now, but there are a few small fresh meats, our market can't tolerate too many people who rely on their faces to eat, if they want to be popular, it is most reliable to talk about their works!"
As he spoke, he glanced at Hong Ning with a smile again, "So, this time, many of them are actually here for your songs, if you want to say that they are signing a brokerage company to debut as artists, some of them can easily do it by relying on their own backgrounds, and the reason why they came here to participate in our selection is that they want to take a few works from you that can be used as their masterpieces and go over......" He picked up another envelope on the table and said:
"For example, this Tan Ling, she said that even if you don't sign a contract with her, she hopes to buy you two songs, and she also asked you to use "Little Lucky" and "Breathing Pain" as assessment tracks this time......"
"Oh, what's the price she's paying?"
"One song a million. ”
"That's a bit low, at least double, right?"
“…… If she sells it for two million?"
"Not for sale. ”
"......" Xiang Yu was speechless for a while, then you put it here and talk about a fart!
"So, what are you going to do with these five people?" asked Xiang Yu with a snug face.
"Just kick them out. Hong Ning rubbed his eyes and said, "Regardless of whether they have the strength or not, I don't like such people, so it's impossible to sign a contract with them." ”
The singer he wants to sign this time mainly depends on his strength, but it is definitely not just about singing well, other aspects of personality will also become factors for him to consider, for example, he doesn't like the kind that is too oily.
This is not only his personal preference, after all, the Chinese entertainment industry is different from the European and American entertainment circles, it is not so open, and it is still relatively conservative.
Therefore, it can also be seen that most of the people who stand at the top of our entertainment industry actually have a more or less down-to-earth and humble spirit, while those who are oily and jumping are basically difficult to get into the elegant hall.
In addition to not liking too oily, for Hong Ning, these attempts to impress him with money and let him open the back door for him are what they do makes him very uncomfortable.
This can even be said to touch his bottom line...... Since he was a child, he couldn't get used to these people who relied on their own money to break social fairness and squeeze the interests of the disadvantaged.
This kind of person, even if he sings as well as the god of songs, it is impossible for him to sign a contract with him.
But then again...... If they really have the strength of the god of songs, with such a family background, it is impossible for them to not be popular by now, let alone think about going through the back door.
"Kicked it directly, isn't that a bit bad?" Xiang Yu was stunned when he heard his words.
"Huh, is there one?" Hong Ning smiled indifferently.
“…… Okay, I'll just go ahead and talk about it. Xiang Yu called him like this, knowing that he had made up his mind, so he shook his head with a wry smile, and got up directly and walked out of the room with all the envelopes and documents on the table.
After seeing Lao Xiang leave, Hong Ning took a sip of water, and looked up at the wall clock on the wall - there was still more than an hour left, and he was about to go to the hall to start the assessment.
"Ahh
He stood up and stretched a few times, walked to the desk a few meters away from him and sat down, picked up a document on the table, which contained the information of all the candidates this time, and he began to flip through it.
It's not easy for him these days, he has all kinds of things to do, such as making demos, hiring bands, etc......
So until now, he hasn't really gotten to know these people.
Some of them are more impressive to him, or their appearance and dress attract him, or their singing is very distinctive, but the rest are not very familiar, after all, when these people were first selected, he did not see everyone, many of them were selected by his employees.
He looked at the documents one by one, with photos of each person and information such as age, occupation, experience, etc., and he would occasionally be a little surprised when he looked at it......
"Wow...... Good...... Fat ......"
"Didn't this kid really come with a mop?"
"Is this guy really only 20 years old? younger than me...... It's a little too ...... Anxious, aren't you?"
……
"Huh?!" Originally, he was very calm even when he saw a strange-looking person, but suddenly, when he turned to a certain page and saw the slightly fragile young man in the photo, Hong Ning sat up abruptly and shouted:
"Damn! this ...... Why do you look so much like him!!"
……
……
To put it bluntly, I'm back......
emmm…… The annoying things are finally dealt with, but recently I have become obsessed with eating chicken with my friends, and I have to be pulled up and beaten a few times every day after work...... (I haven't eaten chicken once, it's always the second and third, so angry)
Update I'll do my best.,Anyway, everyone believes that I won't be a eunuch_(:з"∠)_
