March 11th. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Wednesday.
Three o'clock in the afternoon.
All the participants and production crew of the first season of "I Am a Singer" gathered on Lotus Satellite TV and held a video conference.
This is the first time that the seven original singers have met together, and everyone has adopted a very friendly attitude on the surface, including Zhao Liang, who has an arrogant personality, and he does not dare to be too arrogant in front of Lin Zaishan. But in fact, since this meeting, everyone has been a little secretly competitive.
At this advance preparation meeting, Park Dae-sung, on behalf of the production team, publicly told the singers about the production concept of "I Am a Singer".
In fact, before this, as the main communicator of the show, Park Dae-sung had talked to the participating singers and their artist teams more than once about what kind of show "I Am a Singer" would become.
But at the preparatory meeting, as the chief producer of the show, Park Dae-sung still had to emphasize the principle that a show should be music-oriented.
Although this new show adopts the cruel competition system of the last elimination system, Park Daesung hopes that these famous singers will understand that they are not only here to compete, but also to present the strongest singing in the Chinese music scene to the national audience, so he hopes that everyone will choose songs carefully. In this regard, the program team will not set up obstacles for the singers, and the program team will do its best to support and assist the singer team to complete the arrangement and rehearsal work.
Starting next week, seven singers will come to Sichuan every Thursday afternoon to communicate with the music team about the performance repertoire, and Friday morning and afternoon are rehearsal time. At eight o'clock on Friday night, the official start of the singing.
The program will be broadcast live to present the original performance of these powerful singers to hundreds of millions of viewers.
As for the competition format of the show, Park Dae-sung told them all about it when he met with these singers before.
This show will take a more intuitive and cruel way to rank singers, will use 500 live audiences of different ages to score singers, there is no professional music critic rating link, all performances of singers are determined by the audience to determine whether they like it or not.
Each audience member can only vote 2 for the singer who performs on the spot, that is, choose the two performances they like the most.
The ranking of the singers is announced once a week.
The overall results are announced the following week.
The last singer is eliminated, the fill-in singer is stationed, and then the score is re-scored, and the cruel cycle of elimination begins again.
Originally, Lin Zaishan's suggestion to the program team was that each of the 500 live audience members could only vote for the singer with the best performance on the spot, which would make the competition more exciting.
The program team also thought it was more direct at first, but after thinking about it, more than 80% of the audience at the scene would probably give Lin Zaishan tickets or even 90% of the competition in which Lin Zaishan participated.
The remaining dozens of viewers voted for other singers, and the scores would become distorted and not reflect the performance of the singers in this competition.
If each audience can vote twice, one vote for Lin Zaishan and one vote for others, so that it can be more realistically reflected which singer performed second best on the spot.
For other singers, it is actually a great honor to be able to defeat Lin Zaishan in a single issue.
Just like in "Extreme World", Lin Jae-shan and Lee Hyo-ni's performance is extremely unheavenly, not to mention challenging their championship status, it is even more difficult to defeat them in a single period.
This time "I Am a Singer" is the same, like Fang Zhexuan, although they are all very senior singers in the music industry and have a good reputation, but professional singers who are a little Taoist know that Lin Zaishan's singing strength is as unmatched as his creative skills. His singing brought people touching and shocking at the scene, if it is magical, it is rare in the world.
Being able to defeat Lin Zaishan, a super uncle, in a single issue is a big miracle for other singers, and it will definitely cause heated discussions in the community.
They can't afford to miss such an opportunity. In addition to Lin Zaishan, other singers, including Guan Yaling, are not here to fully contribute to the welfare of the audience, they all have their own fame and fortune appeals, or fight for the dignity of music.
Being able to defeat Lin Zaishan will achieve the best results for them, no matter what the purpose is.
So since these people made the decision to participate in this show, they have all held their breath, not thinking that they will be the first to be eliminated, but they have to do their best to create miracles on this show.
After the preparatory meeting on this day, seven singers were invited to the recording studio of Lotus Satellite TV to record a promotional song for this season of "I Am a Singer" - "True Hero" written and composed by Lin Zaishan and arranged.
The melody of this song is simple, the emotions are sincere, and it is full of feelings and beauty in the golden age of pop music, in fact, yesterday, these singers all got the original manuscript of this song to familiarize themselves with this simple work for them.
At that time, I listened to singers like Fang Zhexuan and He Dayong who had gone through the golden age, and I was particularly touched.
A long-lost enthusiasm that can be remembered for a long time rises in their hearts, as if this song has brought them back to the most glorious years more than 20 years ago.
He Dayong himself sings rock and roll, but he is not the kind of character who completely breaks with mainstream music. He is one of the few musicians who has gone through the golden age and is still doing rock and roll to this day.
Those classic rock people who exploded in the golden age, like Lin Zaishan, are either crazy, dead, or immortal. Most of those who are still alive have moved behind the scenes, such as Ma Xiaodong.
But that's not to say that all the rockers of that era were dead.
Luo Benxiong is a prime example of this, relying on the humanistic depth of his songs to carry forward his rock faction, and still hold up a banner of Chinese rock in the darkest musical period, which is really remarkable.
and this He Dayong, although the development in recent years is not as beautiful as Luo Benxiong. But in the hearts of those who really like rock and roll, He Dayong is a rock veteran who they admire and appreciate more than Luo Benxiong.
This uncle, who is over 40 years old and has been slightly fat, now he no longer has long hair, his hair color has begun to appear mottled white, and his momentum in singing rock and roll is not as domineering as it was back then, but the paranoia in his bones and a little mixed temperament are things that these young rock and roll boys can't learn now. As soon as he opened his voice, his temperament alone could still move people from the soul.
Until this year, He Dayong still maintained the speed of releasing an album every year, spreading the incense of the golden age for the Chinese rock circle.
Lin Zaishan was much more popular than He Dayong back then, but unfortunately he disappeared after only a few years of fire, and was submerged by the long river of rock and roll, and his contribution to Chinese rock was pitiful.
He Dayong is different, he is old and strong, even if the record can't sell, he still insists on making the most traditional record at the rate of one per year, and the persistence of this rock craftsman version alone is enough to make people respect.
He Dayong is not the kind of rock person who is particularly arrogant, and he is not the kind of character that Lao Tzu is the first in the world and no one else can do. For good music, whether it is rock or not, he will take a very tolerant attitude to appreciate and evaluate.
He has released many albums in recent years, and there are actually obvious pop works in them.
Influenced by the mainstream values of the times, his rock attributes are actually slowly degrading. But even so, in today's Chinese music scene, there are still few rock people who dare to say that they are more senior and successful than him.
After getting the song "True Hero" written by Lin Zaishan yesterday, He Dayong was particularly emotional.
He had seen what a flying and domineering existence Lin Zaishan was when he was young.
After so many years, many rock people at that time have disappeared, and Lin Zaishan can shine back after a few years of hibernation, and now his life and career have become so open-minded and thriving. At the same time, he was also curious, how did Lin Zaishan do it?
It wasn't until he listened to this song "True Hero" that He Dayong had some understanding, perhaps, it was this musical dream in Lin Zaishan's heart that made him transform from a demon to an angel now. If you look at what this song is written, you will know how high the status of music is in my heart.
And after feeling the musical feelings in Lin Zaishan's heart, He Dayong couldn't help but ask himself, what is he pursuing after so many years of rock and roll? Is it also like Lin Zaishan - to use singing to make people forget all the pain? Or do you want to use music to add to the annoyance and unresolved pain of others?
He Dayong fell into a myth.
Perhaps, music should not become as complicated as he imagined, but let it return to the purest and most beautiful state, which is the right way.
Like He Dayong, every singer who got the original manuscript of Lin Zaishan's "True Hero" yesterday was inadvertently touched by some emotions in his heart because of music.
When anyone first plays music, they don't play music for fame, to make money, or to eat.
People first came into contact with music and liked music, just because they simply loved it, or they were attracted by the simple beauty of music.
But when this hobby became a profession, music for them subtly changed very badly.
Nowadays, except for people like Guan Yaling who are obsessed with playing music, they can still taste the beauty of music from time to time, and ordinary singers have become a semi-indifferent state of music.
Even if you feel it, do you want to feel if this song can be a big hit? Is it trend-setting?
Few musicians think about what kind of music to make from the touching nature of pop music. It's a completely different kind of music from the Golden Age. It may be too generalized to say that it is impetuous, but today's pop music is indeed difficult to have the touching sincerity of the golden age.
Lin Zaishan's "True Heroes" is like summoning those monumental singers of the golden age, those lost souls, opening the door to the hearts of several other singers, making them reopen their hearts to pop music, and re-examine and think about what kind of music they should present to everyone on this stage.
This "True Hero" is a chorus of everyone, this day in the recording studio of Lotus Satellite TV, it is like recording a public welfare charity song, every singer sings very sincerely and emotionally, with the meaning of secret competition, but more moved by this song, they want to present the audience with the best version of "True Hero".
The first line of the song is sung by Lin Zaishan: "In my heart ~ there was a dream ~ I want to use my singing voice to make you forget all the pain~"
His warm and magnetic opening directly set a very warm and touching tone for the song.
Immediately after Lin Zaishan sang, it was Fang Zhexuan, the second strongest among these singers judged privately by the program team: "Brilliant starry sky~Who is the real hero~Ordinary people move me the most~"
is a bit similar to Lin Zaishan's vicissitudes of sensibility, Fang Zhexuan's voice is high, a bit like Lin Zhixuan in another world, with god-level singing skills.
Then Lin Zaishan sang, which was very challenging for the singer, Fang Zhexuan did not disappoint and smoothed the song well.
Following Fang Zhexuan to sing the third sentence, it was Zhao Liang, whose voice was also high-pitched and clear: "There is no more hate~ There is no pain~ I hope there are traces of love everywhere in the world~."
Another singer of the arrow target, Zhong Lei, who has a hoarse vocal cord, sings the fourth sentence, and his voice is two levels higher than Zhao Liang, which is completely magnetic: "Use our song ~ exchange your sincere smile ~ bless your life to be different from now on ~"
Two female singers, Guan Yaling and Liu Yayan, sang the first small chorus of the song in harmony: "Grasp every minute of life ~ go all out to the dream in our hearts ~"
Lin Zaishan sang the finishing touch without pretentiousness: "If you don't experience wind and rain ~ how to see a rainbow ~."
He Dayong sang next: "No one can succeed casually~"
All the singers sang together: "Grasp every touch in life ~ Embrace your beloved friends warmly ~ Let the words of sincerity ~ and happy tears ~ flow in your heart ...... mine"
……
The next day, March 12th.
This version of "I Am a Singer" version of the true hero sung by the stars led by Lin Zaishan was broadcast on Lotus Satellite TV and its subordinate TV stations, as well as a large number of online media led by the beyond community, which immediately attracted strong attention inside and outside the industry!
Don't use the water army to hold, this kind of work with a strong golden age atmosphere as soon as it appeared, it immediately exploded a lot of nostalgia in the heart for a good time, there are countless praisers, the number of downloads of the song set a record of super search on the wild list on the same day, and directly rushed into the top three of the wild list in a single day, and its momentum was so strong that the other singers who sang with Lin Zaishan were stunned!
For the first time, they experienced how cool it was to fly with God!
Just looking at Lin Zaishan using this song to create a huge heat effect, these stars can have a hunch that their participation in "I Am a Singer" is going to be a big hit.
If they can have an impressive performance on the show, then this one show alone may increase their popularity even more than their various efforts in the past few years.
Such an opportunity, they must not miss.
Everyone is preparing for the first official performance of "I Am a Singer" with a more positive and even desperate attitude.
Lin Zaishan, who attaches more importance to this show than everyone else, couldn't concentrate on studying the premiere works this weekend because of work, but took Liu Mengmeng and Han Caiyun with the crew of "Extreme World" and flew on a flight to Japan to participate in the premiere of the third season of "Extreme World" as a special guest.
The guest who was the first stage of the third season of "Extreme World" was a job that Lin Zaishan had already talked about, in exchange for Liu Mengmeng and Han Caiyun more opportunities to appear on this show.
Liu Mengmeng's work schedule this year is very full, the third season of "Extreme World", and the first season of "I Am a Singer", she has to go.
Liu Mengmeng is the "newcomer" promoted by Beyond this year, and Beyond must promote Liu Mengmeng to become a popular artist this year, not only because Liu Mengmeng's real age is not young, but also to give back to Liu Mengmeng's contribution to the company.
The current strategy of the Beyond Artist Department is to make Liu Mengmeng a benchmark figure, tilt the company's resources to her on a large scale, promote her as soon as possible, set an example for other artists, and let other artists have a goal to strive for.
I believe that with Liu Mengmeng's senior status in the company and her outstanding acting potential, the company has cultivated her so vigorously, and others should not feel too unfair in their hearts.
If Liu Mengmeng can become popular early, it will be a strong shot in the arm for other newcomers, and everyone will have more confidence in beyond, and even some newcomers outside will have a heart for beyond.
As the company's newcomer banner, beyond must completely promote Liu Mengmeng within this year.
