Next chapter

Feb. 14, 10 a.m. △↗,

The first floor of Mingguang Department Store is overcrowded.

The 10-meter-tall giant poster of "Lover's Knot" has attracted the attention of countless customers.

Guoyu held a grand signing party for Li Xiaoni's new album.

Since it is Valentine's Day, in order to cooperate with the theme promotion of Li Xiaoni's "Lover's Knot", the couple fans who come to the scene to buy Li Xiaoni's new album on this day will receive two limited edition "Lover's Knot" mobile phone chains.

The white pigeon took the believer's five sons to Mingguang Department Store early in the morning to participate in Li Xiaoni's signing meeting.

Knowing that there was a giveaway for couples to buy albums, she pulled Li He and her to pretend to be a couple, waiting in line for Li Xiaoni's signing.

Originally, Song Peng took the initiative to invite Ying and Bai Ge to play a couple, but white pigeons are not rare, she wanted to pretend to be a couple with Zhang Hao, but unfortunately Zhang Hao came with Jin Mengyi, and her real girlfriend was there, she was embarrassed to pull Zhang Hao to do this, so she could only find Li He.

Bai Ge originally wanted to buy an album for Li Xiaoni to autograph, and thanked Li Xiaoni in person. But it's a pity that there are too many die-hard fans who came to participate in Li Xiaoni's signing today, there are thousands of people, and the white pigeon they went late, the queue is very late, and the queen only did an hour and a half of signing activities, because she had to catch a plane, she sang two songs to apologize to the fans on the spot, and then left, and the white pigeon failed to meet Li Xiaoni, which is quite a pity.

Lin Zaishan came to Caidie to record the album "Singer-Songwriter" that morning, and in the video store downstairs of Caidie, he bought two copies of Li Xiaoni's new album, one he kept for himself to listen to, and the other one he gave to Tang Yaxuan. This can be regarded as helping Li Xiaoni rush record sales.

Although he only bought two albums, it didn't help much, but he had the heart to do it.

Nowadays, the sales of genuine records in the Chinese music scene are declining year by year, and even for Li Xiaoni, the darling of the record market, record sales are declining one by one, and this trend is irreversible. It depends on whether the music market can recover after digital copyright is effectively protected in the future.

I think that at the beginning, a super diva like Lee Hyo-ni released an album. There will be a big craze in the entertainment industry, and many people will pay attention to it.

But now don't talk about Li Xiaoni, even if the singer Xu Jinhuang releases a new album, it can't be regarded as big news in the entertainment industry. Compared with the new works launched by those film and television superstars, singers are increasingly ignored when they release new albums.

An important reason for this situation is that the scale of record companies' promotion of singers is getting smaller and smaller.

Now that records are not selling, the record market is shrinking dramatically, and record companies are focusing their publicity on more profitable projects. I won't spend a lot of money to promote the new album for the singer.

Li Xiaoni is not bad, the scale of publicity is tens of millions. is like an ordinary singer, and the investment in releasing an album may be two or three hundred thousand.

There are also companies that don't promote singers at all, and they just do a hasty job of promoting them on the Internet.

It is difficult for new singers to stand out in today's Chinese music scene.

This is also why the four major record companies attach great importance to TV programs and promote new singers on TV programs.

Popular variety shows are the best publicity for singers, and can give singers the fastest opportunity to make money.

For example, Lin Zaishan, Ma Tingting, and the "Singer-Songwriter" album that they want to release, because of the popularity of the show, itself already has a huge publicity effect, comparable to tens of millions of publicity.

Their records are more popular than some popular singers who release albums. They will also have a lot of opportunities to participate in commercial performances, and many platter performance organizers will pay a high price to invite hot singers like them to perform in the caves.

It's only been a few days after the holiday, and Liu Mengmeng, who has not stepped down as Lin Zaishan's agent, has already received invitations to concerts from 5 performance companies.

The appearance fees given by these organizers to Lin Zaishan are very high, the lowest is 150,000 yuan per song, and the highest has been 250,000 yuan per song. There is also an invitation to Tang Yaxuan, and the price code is also 100,000 for a song.

Liu Mengmeng has not yet had substantial contact with these singers, and she expects that after the competition of "Singer-Songwriter" is over, the price of Lin Zaishan and Tang Yaxuan will be raised by another notch.

If Lin Zaishan can win the championship. That's a lot more expensive. According to the current performance market, the singer who won the championship in such a hot music variety show will have an appearance fee of at least 300,000 yuan for commercial performances. This is nearly 10 times higher than the price of Lin Zaishan's singing tail teeth before.

Lin Zaishan will definitely not miss these opportunities to make money, after the end of "Singer-Songwriter". Including in the future, during the off-season filming of "Extreme World", he will participate in commercial performances to make money, and make enough money as much as possible by taking advantage of the fire of "Singer-Songwriter".

Now a "newcomer" singer like him who has no solid foundation is the most important and main way to make money by participating in commercial performances, seizing an opportunity to become popular. They must not let go.

Liu Mengmeng has to help him arrange these tasks.

In fact, after the end of the year, Lin Zaishan wanted Liu Mengmeng to reduce his burden and gradually hand over the work of the agent to others.

He asked Liu Mengmeng to help him find an experienced and reliable agent to take over.

Liu Mengmeng knew that she would put more energy into music in the future, but she was particularly reluctant to hand over Lin Zaishan's brokerage work to others.

has been an agent for Lin Zaishan for so long, and she is tired of being with Lin Zaishan every day, and she has fallen in love with this kind of life tied to Lin Zaishan.

Suddenly handing over these tasks to others, Liu Mengmeng was really uneasy, and she always had to worry about it.

If she didn't be Lin Zaishan's agent or assistant, the relationship between her and Lin Zaishan would definitely become more estranged, and it would not be as close as it is now.

So Liu Mengmeng didn't want to let go of Lin Zaishan's assistant work, she wanted to try to do it for a while to see if she could allocate her time reasonably, and find more time to practice her basic skills without delaying the overall arrangement of Lin Zaishan's work.

She and Lin Zaishan had already talked about this idea.

Lin Zaishan felt that if Liu Mengmeng continued to be his assistant, he would definitely spend a lot of time to help him negotiate work, which was not conducive to Liu Mengmeng's improvement in music. So he didn't build yì Liu Mengmeng was so "stubborn".

But Liu Mengmeng just wanted to be stubborn again, she finally discussed with Lin Zaishan, during this time she would help Lin Zaishan find a full-time reliable agent to take over her work, but at the same time she also acted as Lin Zaishan's assistant and assisted the new agent to help Lin Zaishan negotiate work, so that she could rest assured.

In the future, if Lin Zaishan goes to perform in other places, she will not follow. She stayed in Donghai and focused more on improving her basic skills.

But in the East China Sea, if Lin Zaishan has the opportunity to perform, just like when she participated in the recording of the show "Singer-Songwriter", she still hopes to follow Lin Zaishan together. In this way, she can observe and learn Lin Zaishan's performance on the spot, which can be regarded as a kind of learning and accumulation.

Lin Zaishan felt that this was okay, so he agreed to Liu Mengmeng's request and asked Liu Mengmeng to continue to help him arrange work.

In fact, he hopes that Liu Mengmeng will always be his assistant.

has been working with Liu Mengmeng for so long, and the two of them have run in very well at work. A relationship of trust has also been formed with each other.

To change to a new agent to take him, and to have a new adaptation and a new run-in, and whether the new agent is loyal to him, whether he will be tired or something, this is not easy to say, it is likely to become very bad.

If Liu Mengmeng had been his agent, there wouldn't have been so many things.

But it's a pity that Liu Mengmeng has her own pursuits and dreams, Lin Zaishan can't delay Liu Mengmeng's development, and Liu Mengmeng is still a key singer signed by their company. He prefers to see Liu Mengmeng show his talents in the field of music, rather than being his assistant all the time.

So he could only endure the pain and cut his love and come to hire a new agent.

According to Liu Mengmeng's idea, she continued to assist the new agent in arranging his work, which could save Lin Zaishan a lot of heart.

In this way, there are many things that Liu Mengmeng can help him deal with, so he doesn't have to be too bad.

……

February 17th.

Sunday, the tenth day of the first lunar month.

On this morning, the singer-songwriters and music teams who advanced to the top 6 came to the Tokai Gymnasium for the next day's video rehearsal.

This rehearsal is mainly for those returning singers who have been eliminated.

Tomorrow's 6-in-5 game. It's the last knockout round of this season's "Singer-Songwriter".

Originally, according to the schedule of the program team, this episode of the program should be made into a live broadcast program, but because of the Spring Festival. Arrow Target Records led the change in the schedule of the show, and the recording process was delayed by a week, so that if the show was made live again, it would have to be moved to February 24. The time for the finals on March 1 has been set for a long time, and even tickets are on sale. It cannot be changed. Therefore, if this issue is recorded again on February 24, the time given to the contestants to prepare for the finals will be too short.

So the program team temporarily canceled the live broadcast of this episode of the program and changed it to the same recording and broadcast as before.

The stage has been expanded to accommodate 4,000 spectators. Tomorrow's final judges will also be the 4,000 spectators and media people on site.

The selected singer-songwriters will compete in two rounds of live creative battles tomorrow, and at the end of each round, the audience will choose their favorite group of performances.

Based on the total results of the two rounds, the singer with the lowest approval rating will be eliminated, and the remaining 5 groups of contestants will advance to the finals on March 1.

At present, the two most traditional, largest, and most menacing record labels in Arrow Target and Era, there is only one singer-songwriter left in the competition.

Tomorrow, one of these two old record companies will eat the finals behind closed doors, and no contestants will advance to the finals. If so, the blow to these two companies will be too great.

Tomorrow's competition system is conducive to the music teams of these two companies to focus on the proposition of live creation, and the players they left behind are all ace players, so the possibility of their two record companies going to the end is still relatively large.

Among the remaining 6 groups of singer-songwriters, except for Lin Zaishan, the other contestants did not create on this stage by themselves, and they all had the support of the music team behind them.

Tomorrow's live creative battle is not so much a live competition of the creative ability of the singer-songwriter, but a big competition of the music teams of each company in the live creative ability.

There is only one player left, and the target and age can support their players with the strength of the whole team.

In contrast, BM has a disadvantage, and their music team has to support the live creation of two groups of singer-songwriters Reynard and Alibaba, which is definitely not as good as the era and arrow target in terms of quality.

Caidie's music team almost didn't help Lin Zaishan and Tang Yaxuan much in this competition, but only provided some advice on arrangement, and Lin Zaishan purely relied on his own strength to push him and Tang Yaxuan forward. It will still be the case tomorrow.

Tomorrow, at the same time and in the same venue, each singer-songwriter will have to compose and rehearse, so each company will send its own musicians to support the rehearsal of their singers.

Tomorrow, the music team of Oriental TV will sing supporting roles, and only the returning singers will do live accompaniment, and the accompaniment work of the singers of the competition will be completed by the musicians of their own record company.

This is also the biggest help that Caidie's music team has done to Lin Zaishan and Tang Yaxuan so far.

But in fact, Caidie's musicians only help Tang Yaxuan accompaniment, and tomorrow Lin Zaishan will still bring Lu Chen and Ma Yuantian to participate in the competition, and his main accompaniment work will still be handed over to Lu Chen. It is only when he uses accompaniment to a larger arrangement that he uses the musicians of the butterfly to help. It all depends on what kind of proposition he draws tomorrow.

As far as everyone knows now, the general direction of the proposition of tomorrow's two rounds of creative competition has been decided, and the first round is the scene proposition competition, which may appear in parks, squares, stations, shopping malls, amusement parks, and other outdoor large-scale scenes, as well as small indoor scenes such as kitchens, bedrooms, and workshops. In this round, there will be a total of 24 scenes for players to draw on the spot, some difficult and some easy, who draws what, it all depends on luck.

The second round is the Masterpiece Proposition Competition, which is the same as 24 propositions, including 24 famous works from ancient and modern China and foreign countries or modern works that have been popular recently, for the contestants to draw and create.

The direction of the proposition in the two rounds is not very difficult, and there is a lot of room for the contestants to play, but because the program team did not put any specific proposition information outside, no one knows what kind of specific proposition will appear in tomorrow's game.

If you're lucky, and the contestant's drawn proposition happens to be in the library of their respective record labels, it's much easier. But if the proposition they draw is completely unfamiliar and unprepared, it will test the live creative skills of their music team.

For this competition, Lin Zaishan himself is full of confidence, his work library covers the music elite of the whole world, and the music teams of the other three record companies are estimated to be less than one percent of him even if they are combined, so he is very confident that he will help Tang Yaxuan advance to the finals together. Then it will depend on how Tang Yaxuan's singing practice will be on the scene tomorrow, as long as Tang Yaxuan learns quickly, the chance for them to advance together tomorrow is very big.

At eight o'clock in the evening of this day, "Singer-Songwriter", which has been off the air for a week, will broadcast a 7-in-6 English special game.

In order to help Tang Yaxuan relieve pressure, Lin Zaishan took Tang Yaxuan to Shui Chuanshi and watched this episode of the show with student music fans in the café.

Because I was too busy with work before, there were several episodes of the program, and Lin Zaishan didn't do a special screening of water through stones.

During the holidays, many students went home for the New Year, but after seeing on the website of Water Piercing Stone, a special screening of Lin Zaishan would be held tonight, and many students in the East China Sea rushed to Shui Piercing Stone to watch Lin Zaishan's performance.

Windsora is one of them, she came with a white pigeon, she listened to the white pigeon, and Lin Zaishan will give a live performance after this screening to give back everyone's support. Among them, one of the songs that Lin Zaishan wants to sing is "Gigi's-Song", which has been prepared for a long time to give to Bai Ge, Bai Ge very much hopes that Windsor Sha will make this song into a sand painting MV, presumably the sand painting MV of this song will be very touching.
