Chapter 545: The Mentors Are All in Place
The next morning, Zheng Xiao and Song Yulong made persistent efforts and invited Yang Kun to join "The Voice of China" as a mentor. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
The reason why he chose Yang Kun instead of Wang Feng is that Zheng Xiao also has his own considerations.
At this time, Wang Feng has released several albums, and well-known songs, such as "Love is a Bullet of Happiness" and "Blooming Life" are also very popular.
But in terms of popularity, Wang Feng was not as good as Yang Kungao in 2007.
A song "It Doesn't Matter" is sung all over the country, this song is really hot, from 01 "It Doesn't Matter" came out, it made Yang Kun famous overnight and became a household name, his chic hoarse voice shocked countless people who love to listen to songs, and was regarded as a classic for a while.
Therefore, Zheng Xiao weighed it again and again and decided to invite Yang Kun.
Of course, Song Yulong also suggested inviting one of Sun Nan and Han Hong, so that the mentor lineup can be regarded as a superstar lineup.
But Zheng Xiao felt that that was actually not very good.
He believes that Yang Kun represents a kind of hope and power for the rise of the grassroots, and for the majority of music lovers, the nature of encouragement is greater.
Yang Kun, born in 1972, before becoming famous in 2001, his pursuit of his dream was difficult and bumpy.
There was a time when he was drifting in the capital, unable to eat three meals, and sleeping in a damp and dark basement.
Even under such circumstances, he did not give up his musical dreams and constantly looked for his own opportunities.
In 1997, Yang Kun inadvertently had an explosion of inspiration and completed the creation of the song "It Doesn't Matter" in the bathroom. After the sample of this song was recorded, Yang Kun sent samples to record companies and entertainment companies everywhere, but unfortunately, all the companies rejected his song.
It wasn't until the end of the last century that he was discovered by Bole, and in 2001, the first album "It Doesn't Matter" was released, selling 800,000 copies in one fell swoop, and Yang Kun, who was about to be thirty years old, became famous in one fell swoop.
Look at this experience, don't you?
Although many singers have worked hard for a period of time before becoming famous, there is only one person like Yang Kun who has been so hard, from the early 90s of the last century to the beginning of the new century, and it took nearly ten years to get ahead!
Therefore, Yang Kun is an inspirational role model, and it is a direction for the struggle and development of many grassroots singers and talented unknown musicians.
Asking him to be a mentor is also a gesture of "The Voice of China": strive to help every talented but buried musician get a chance to succeed!
It's also telling music lovers across the country that as long as they stick to their dreams, it's possible to succeed!
Zheng Xiao persuaded Song Yulong.
The two went to visit Yang Kun.
Yang Kun was very happy about the arrival of the two, especially Zheng Xiao, a popular fried chicken who was so red and purple, came to see him in person, which surprised him even more.
After staying at Yang Kun's house for more than an hour, Yang Kun's agreement was completed.
Yang Kun was very interested in being able to serve as the mentor of "The Voice of China", especially when he heard that among the mentors that had been set, Arita Zhen and Liu Huan, he had no doubts about the new talent show "The Voice of China", and readily agreed to sign the contract.
Yang Kun's status in the domestic music industry is much lower than that of Zhitian Zhen and Liu Huan, so his signing fee is also much less than that of the two.
In the agreement, Yang Kun's remuneration is two million, and he also enjoys the red envelope of profits after the fire of the show.
The signing of Yang Kun means that three of the four mentors of "The Voice of China" have been determined.
There is also a mentor who is required to be an artist from Hong Kong and Taiwan.
Fujian Provincial Satellite TV is responsible for doing this.
In fact, since the beginning of the year, Fujian Satellite TV has been in contact with many stars in Hong Kong and Taiwan. After the Spring Festival in 2007, Song Yulong sent Wu Tianke and Tian Kai to Taiwan.
The day after signing Yang Kun, Wu Tianke called Song Yulong and excitedly told Song Yulong that Taiwan's veteran music superstar Fei Yuqing promised to serve as the mentor of "The Voice of China".
Zheng Xiao was quite surprised by this result.
The first choice he originally asked for was Haring (Yu Chengqing), after all, Haring is a powerful person, he can say something witty or something, he is very good at creating an atmosphere.
Of course, this is also related to Haring's long-term role as a variety show host.
Wu Tianke said that the first thing they went to negotiate was Harlem.
However, Haring's 2007 schedule is already full, and it is all long-term work with signed agreements, and it is impossible to make a large chunk of time for "The Voice of China".
The matter of cooperation had to be abandoned.
Wu Tianke and Tian Kai later found Chen Sheng, Wu Zongxian, Zhang Huimei and others respectively.
Chen Sheng feels that the draft market on the mainland side has been occupied by Mango TV with more than 90% of the share, and it is unlikely that Fujian Satellite TV wants to insert it and get a piece of the pie.
Chen Sheng is not optimistic about this show, so he is also reluctant to serve as the mentor of "The Voice of China".
And Wu Zongxian is for the same reason as Haring, the work schedule is very full, and he can't cooperate. Of course, Wu Zongxian also proposed that if the salary could reach NT$50 million, he would also consider turning off part of his job to be this mentor.
NT$50 million, equivalent to more than 10 million RMB.
The asking price is quite high.
Wu Tianke asked Song Yulong, Song Yulong negotiated with Zheng Xiao, and thought that Wu Zongxian was not worth the price at all.
Although Wu Zongxian also sings and his singing skills are also good, it is his hosting that makes him really famous, not his singing career. When it comes to singing, he doesn't have a high status among many music lovers.
Therefore, Wu Zongxian was directly denied.
It was at this time that Zheng Xiao once again suggested that he could try Fei Yuqing.
In the Taiwanese music scene, Fei Yuqing's status is very high, not only because he sang many popular songs early in his debut, but also because he has noble sentiments, treats people sincerely, and is dedicated and motivated.
Fei Yuqing not only sings a lot of classic songs, but he also has rich experience as a host, and his acting skills and eloquence are first-class. According to some netizens, he participated in Taiwanese variety shows in his early years, and he was also a master of jokes, with extraordinary funny skills.
What's even more rare is that Fei Yuqing suddenly became popular in the mainland in 2006 and 2007.
The reason is that he and Jay Chou sang "A Thousand Miles Away" together.
This song "Thousands of Miles Away" became a big hit in the Chinese circle.
And Fei Yuqing is also famous again.
At this time, it is naturally very appropriate to invite him to be the guest of "The Voice of China".
Zheng Xiao thinks that it is very appropriate to invite Fei Yuqing as a mentor, but he doesn't know if he can successfully invite this handsome old guy who is very popular in the Chinese circle.
After all, in the previous life, the voice column group of Zhejiang Satellite TV had never invited Fei Yuqing.
And now, Wu Tianke called and said that Fei Yuqing agreed to serve as the mentor of "The Voice of China", and Zheng Xiao was surprised and very happy.
In this way, the mentor lineup of the first "The Voice of China" has all been determined. (To be continued.) )
