Chapter 60: The Chinese Singer Contest

Chinese Records is the first record giant in China, and its president Zhang Xiaohui is the godfather of the Chinese music scene. His successor is his loyal companion Ju Ming. The matter will not be officially announced until May.

This is the second thing Cao Weiran said.

Zhang Xiaohui is 58 years old and has dominated Chinese records for nearly 20 years. He is a fairy-like person, and in recent years, he has left no regard for company affairs, so the huge Chinese company seems a little old-fashioned. In the past year, he has lived almost all of his time in Los Angeles and rarely returned to China.

His departure was not a surprise, but it was a landmark event.

An era is over.

Cao Weiran has been thinking that this is not Zhang Xiaohui's style. Less than a year after its establishment, ketchup has stolen a lot of the Chinese market. According to Zhang Xiaohui's iron-fisted character, he should have fought back head-on, rather than retreating to the second line.

Isn't Huawen, like ketchup, also hiding an amazing hole card?

The third thing is the singer contest in July.

The contest is called "SS Singer", hosted by SS Media Group, the largest TV station in China, and has been brewing for more than a year, and there is also a contest committee, of which Cao Weiran is one of the members.

"I also just heard that the name of the contest was temporarily changed to "SS Singer". Cao Weiran smiled bitterly. It's called "Chinese Singer". ”

“…… What a big breath. Ji Shanshan stuck out her tongue. This name is too ordinary, but it is very strange, why do you call yourself "Huaxia"? No matter how big you are, it's just a talent show.

"It's not a talent show. ”

"Huh?"

"It's a TV station. ”

"Uh. ”

Cao Weiran said that SS Media Group has done its best to create a new music TV brand and opened a new free satellite channel, called "Chinese Singer".

This is amazing news.

Before 2017, each David TV had its own music program, such as "I Am a Singer", "Vocal" (lead singer), "The Masked God of Songs", etc., inviting famous singers to sing nostalgic pop songs, singers to earn popularity, and TV stations to earn ratings.

They are essentially "reality show KTV".

There are also some talent shows, such as copying foreign "Voice" (The Voice), etc., which have also gained good income.

The essence of these shows is to "sell".

But "Chinese Singer" is different, its essence is "monopoly".

The 24-hour live broadcast of the "Chinese Singer" program on the brand new music TV station is just a starting point. SS Group has united network giants such as Xinghai Group and Duoyun Group to break through the barriers of the network, cooperate with online live broadcast and APP interaction, and truly change the gameplay of the game.

A record company like ketchup is just one link in the industrial chain, and "Chinese Singer" seems to have ambitions to cover the entire industrial chain.

Ji Shanshan felt that SS Group was crazy, she said: "I don't believe it, a singer talent show can support a TV station?"

"It's not just a draft. Famous singers and celebrities will participate. ”

"What?"

""Chinese Singer" has just sent invitations to Huawen, us, and major companies. Celebrities and ordinary people are treated equally, and participate in auditions, semi-finals, and finals according to the process. ”

“……”

A core feature of talent shows is "grassroots."

Ordinary people stand on the gorgeous stage, step by step from grassroots to superstar, the process is very exciting. More importantly, it brings it closer to the public.

Civilian heroes. The audience will be receptive to psychological cues and hallucinations, thinking that they too will become an overnight success on stage, just like those unknown and unfamiliar faces.

But what if wild singers and celebrities stand together and compete on the same stage?

The competition can be brutal.

If...... What happens when ordinary people beat stars?

It is conceivable that "Chinese Singer" will continue to create topics and cause huge controversy, thus raising its influence to an astonishing level. Because of this, it is extremely attractive to the industry and singers.

Ji Shanshan said: "This is too ruthless." ”

"Chinese Singer" will be a giant platform, an unprecedentedly powerful star-making machine, which will be swept away and become the only music event.

A big gamble will either go down in history or become a laughing stock.

In the face of huge profits, record companies will also send their own artists to compete for rankings. No one wants to miss the feast, and no one wants to be forgotten.

"It's too risky. ”

"Huaxia music will not be stagnant forever, it may be the first step in the market reshuffle. Cao Weiran himself is very optimistic about this "Chinese Singer".

The power of capital is terrifying. If a huge amount of money is thrown down, it will immediately change dramatically. It will unleash the potential of the music market, and perhaps in 2017, the market will have a phenomenal growth.

"The storm is coming. I feel a little bit like a ...... Tournaments. Ji Shanshan said.

"Haha. ”

"Or, a playground. ”

Cao Weiran thought that if it was really a martial arts competition, it would be simple. The musicians of ketchup are powerful and have a secret weapon. He suddenly smiled and asked, "You say, if Zhang Ruiwen bumps into Fang Yan in the game, who will win?"

"Ruiwen. ”

"Are you so sure?"

"There is a gap in strength. Besides, my brother doesn't have your personal guidance. Ji Shanshan said with a smile, like complimenting the boss and like being sarcastic.

"Well, not necessarily. ”

"I don't think Fang Yan will compete in SS. He's not much like a pop singer. ”

“……”

At 7 p.m. on Sunday, Fang Yan wore a pair of glasses, was led by Yuan Yuan, and wandered around Jiangdong Normal University.

The glasses were bought by Yuan Yuan, which were not expensive, and they were equipped with lenses without prescription. Before, they were shopping in a piano shop on Tamsui Street, and almost everyone in the shop could recognize Fang Yan. Yuan Yuan was worried about causing onlookers in the school, so she thought of such a trick.

With one more glasses, Fang Yan has changed a lot, and he walked all the way, but he was really not recognized. Fang Yan thought that Yuan Yuan's school would wear this later.

It was already dark, but the air was still scorching, and the smell of food came through. Near the girls' dormitory building, the girls were wearing skirts and going in twos and threes. There were also some boys standing guard at the door, bowing their heads and playing with their mobile phones.

The two of them walked around the campus a few times, but Yuan Yuan refused to go upstairs.

"Otherwise, I'll go back to sleep with you. Yuan Yuan's eyes sparkled. She was very reluctant to let Fang Yan go.

"You have class tomorrow morning. ”

"Then you stay with me for a while. ”

"I haven't practiced today......"

Since their birthdays, the two of them have never been separated, just like conjoined babies, and now they are a little reluctant to separate. After walking around the dormitory building for another 20 minutes, Yuan Yuan blushed, hugged Fang Yan's arm tightly, and whispered in his ear, "When will we be able to ...... That?"

“……”

"When the summer vacation is over, you can come to my house to play, my mother is very good, and my father is a little fierce. ”

“……”

Fang Yan left the school, hurried back to the urban village, and silently played the electric guitar in Yang Zhenyu's room. On the Internet, "Brother Lost Soul's Study Room" is silently broadcasting live.

It's business as usual.

Yang Zhenyu sat at the table listening to the guitar and gritted his teeth to read. Xia Mo leaned on the bed and watched American dramas with headphones on. The only thing in the room was the angry roar of electric guitars.

The next day was Monday, and the news of He Yu's strong comeback had just cooled down, and the news of the recruitment of the "Chinese Singer" competition, the establishment of SS Music TV, and the release of SS Music APP detonated at the same time, and instantly became a national topic in Huaxia.

Fang Yan was not affected. He had breakfast with Qin Yun in the café and buried himself in reading. At noon, he went to a tobacco and alcohol store near the pedestrian street, bought 2 Su cigarettes, and bought 20 cheap Hongtashan cigarettes, and instructed the clerk to send a courier to Luohe City Prison.

This week spent too much money, but fortunately, Lao Liu called a week's salary, a little more than 25,000, which was more than he expected. When you make money, the first thing you do is to send some cigarettes to the prison, and the cigarettes for the prison leaders are expensive, and there are too many prisoners, so you can buy cheap ones.

It was kind of like his home.

He called the prison warden Shan Ren, and Shan Ren actually asked him if he had signed up.

"Chinese singer, Uncle Shan, even you know?"

"Don't you know, it's all over the world. ”

Fang Yan didn't want to participate in "Chinese Singer" very much. This morning, Qin Yun also asked him to sign up, he said, music is not a competition, more about cooperation, playing together.

Brother Qin Yun disagreed, he said: "Then there are so many piano awards in the world, Chopin or something, isn't it also a competition?"

“……”

After the news of "Chinese Singer" was announced, there was a craze on the Internet, starting from the wizard post bar, netizens strongly asked the wizard to participate, and the trouble was endless. "Chinese Singer" became a little embarrassing. Fans say: If the wizards don't participate, what kind of singer contest are you?
