Chapter 145, big actress
Since the second half of April, the whole of Hong Kong seems to be heating up, not how hot the weather is, but the atmosphere is too warm, Phoenix Culture and ATV have done advertising in almost every place in Hong Kong, in the streets and alleys, on the bus body, and even when you go to the mall to sell things.
Everyone is talking about "Got Talent", "Asian Idol", "Miss Asia", even the grandpa of Lantau Island and the grandma of Tin Shui Wai also know that Hong Kong is holding a large-scale talent show this time, and it is said that many foreigners also come to participate, including Indian Ah San.
The combination of Phoenix Culture and ATV in the comprehensive audition in Asia has indeed caused quite a sensation. If before, when there was only a registration advertisement, people still felt that there was nothing to say, but now they are completely attracted and spend a lot of time understanding and paying attention to these three programs.
Young people are even more concerned about these three programs, and the information of the program makes it very clear that as long as you are selected into the top eight in "Got Talent" and enter the finals, you can have a bonus of 50,000 Hong Kong dollars, and the prize for winning the championship has reached 200,000, and you can have the opportunity to sign a contract with Phoenix Culture or ATV as a star.
This is undoubtedly a good opportunity for most young people, there is no high level of knowledge, and there is no solid family road, being a star is the fastest way to success. This is the first time this year, and many people still have the attitude of taking a look, if it is really successful, they must sign up for it next year.
And those who think they have some ability in singing will pay more attention to "Asian Idol". Although Mingjiang Music is not a big record company, the two singers who have been launched are more powerful than the other, and both of them sold super platinum on their first records. Ye Qianwen was even more crazy last year to the point that five songs from an album entered the gold song list. For people who like music, if they can participate in "Asian Idol" and get the ranking, signing a contract with Famous Craftsman Music is indeed a pretty good way out, not to mention that there are a lot of bonuses to get.
Similarly, these two programs have also become a hot topic in Singapore, Malaysia, Taiwan and Japan. Because there are local players participating, local TV stations have also bought broadcast rights. There is no need for the program team to run, and those TV stations began to rush to advertise, and the effect is not as hot as that in Hong Kong. But it is also an unprecedented large-scale spent.
Programs like "Got Talent" haven't been in Hong Kong before, and it's not easy to compare without references. But there will be no singing competition, there is a rookie competition on TVB, and there is also a competition with an amateur singer in the 19th district. I used to think those games were very good. A lot of good singers were selected.
But now compared with "Asian Idol", it is not a grade at all, it is simply the king of scum. First of all, the mode of the competition cannot be compared, it is also a program where the contestants sing and the judges score, "Asian Idol" can make so many tricks, and some places are so funny that people are about to twitch.
Of course, the audience likes this novel competition mode, but they find it interesting just by watching the introduction of the film. Among them, there are many fancy dresses. Speaking strange language, it also adds to the joy while watching the game. There's a lot of speculation about how these players will perform. was attracted to attention, but didn't know that these other singing competitions would not appear in the content, in fact, the program team found someone to make it out at all, the purpose is to attract attention and increase ratings, so that it can be more beneficial to star-making.
The selection of "Miss Asia" is more suitable for the promotion of ATV, and it is conducive to competition with wireless, and finally under the negotiation between the two parties, Mo Fei agreed to replace "Got Talent" and "Miss Asia", but ATV wants to give "Got Talent" and "Asian Idol" enough advertising time to do publicity, and among the winners of Sister Asia, Phoenix Culture will choose one to sign a contract, and these two points will be used as a condition for replacement.
It is precisely because of such a replacement that "Miss Asia" has attracted more attention, and its attraction is not ordinarily strong. The champion can not only get the prize money, but also get the role in one movie and two TV series of Phoenix Culture, and the second and third runners-up can also get the role in the TV series. And one more important point is that the award-winning contestants of Sister Asia have the opportunity to become signed artists of Phoenix Culture on the premise of obtaining ATV signings, which is enough to make all the contestants crazy.
……
Mo Fei thought of Zhou Huimin's eye problem, and wanted to verify it the next day, as the program producer of the organizer, he could not easily show up in the organizing committee hotel, and could only go to the program recording site, so that he would not be photographed by those boring and unscrupulous reporters to talk nonsense.
Because the three programs were to be recorded at the same time, Phoenix Culture rented the venues of two indoor gymnasiums in Kwai Chung. There is only one venue in the Tang Siu Kin Gymnasium, which serves as the recording venue for Miss Asia; The Limsted Stadium is relatively large, with two basketball courts, just enough to accommodate "Got Talent" and "Asian Idol".
Mo Fei's car came to the Lin Shide Gymnasium, and sure enough, there were a lot of reporters outside, who were not invited by the media judges, so they could only wait for the news outside the venue.
Seeing Mo Fei's car coming, the reporters were like bears seeing honey, and they immediately surrounded the car, and Mo Fei almost didn't even have the space to open the door and get out of the car. Ah Huo took a few people to separate from the media, so that he could get out of the car calmly and not be squeezed by the car door.
In the past, when choosing Miss Hong Kong, there were also media waiting outside the recording venue to catch news, but there has never been such a scene. Phoenix Culture's generosity has really wound up all the Hong Kong media, and they are tense one by one, like a man's stuff smeared with oil, and they are always in a state of excitement.
Of course, the reporters will not let go of Mo Fei easily, and when he just got off the station and stabilized, he couldn't wait to start asking questions, from which player to look forward to the recent actions of Phoenix Culture, and all kinds of related and unrelated questions are even more varied and varied.
Among them, there are also some who speak English and are not proficient in Cantonese and Chinese, but after a slight glance, there are indeed non-Hong Kong media among the reporters, and from the appearance it should be Taiwan, Singapore, Malaysia, and Japan, these people should all come to pay attention to the situation of players in their region. It seems that the effect of the show in these places is still good, and you can consider letting the contestants in these areas stay in the show for a while longer.
As for the reporter's question, it is certainly impossible to answer. Asking others to keep it secret, he himself has to keep his mouth shut. After a few simple words, I praised the players for their strength, versatility, etc., and after coping with the matter, I walked into the gymnasium surrounded by bodyguards.
Even in the gymnasium, if you have to talk to Zhou Huimin, you have to pay attention to the ways and means, and you can't just come so blatantly. "Got Talent" and "Asian Idol" combined have more than 100 contestants. Once a player sees it, and then it is brushed down, there will be a big revelation of revenge on society. All three of these programs have to be unlucky.
Could it be that Huang Zhan, the mentor of Zhou Huimin's group, was irresponsible at all, and he just used an excuse to let the little girl buy a pack of cigarettes. Could it be that he was directly speechless, this excuse is really bad. Secretly hated the non-people he trusted.
Zhou Huimin is also an honest child. I really ran to buy a pack of cigarettes and brought it to Huang Zhan. Mo Fei stared at it and said, "Uncle Zhan, you are also an old man, it's not good to bully newcomers like this, do you let the singers of my company do this?" ”
Huang Zhan directly ignored Mo Fei's complaints, turned his head and lit a cigarette, but he didn't give Mo Fei a hand. Smoking a cigarette: "Cut, the singer of your company." If you dare to stand outside and say it out loud now, I'll drink your footwater. ”
Mo Fei didn't bother to pay attention to him, stood up and stared at Zhou Huimin's eyes, and asked, "Huimin, are you short-sighted?" ”
Zhou Huimin was stunned by Mo Fei's question, she didn't know what this question had to do with herself, she shook her head and said: "No, my eyesight is very good, when I was young, my eyesight decreased for a while, my mother used hot tea to help me smoke my eyes, and then it was fine, I still use this method." ”
Now it's Mo Fei's turn to be stunned, shouldn't he really find the wrong person, but in many ways it should be the same person. Then I figured it out a little again, and felt that I was simply bored like this, whether it was the same person or not, as long as it was a good seedling, and the current time and space were a little different from history, or Zhou Huimin was also one of the changes.
pressed his thoughts, but he began to care about Zhou Huimin's recent situation again: "Huimin, are you still used to participating in competitions, how is the practice of the song you were doing?" ”
In order to make Zhou Huimin smoothly ascend to the position, Mo Fei put a lot of effort into it, not only made arrangements among the mentor judges, but also specially selected a song for Zhou Huimin to increase the chance of impacting the championship.
In 82, Luo Dayo created a song "Wild Lilies Have Spring", which is an absolute classic, and has been covered by more than a dozen singers across the Taiwan Strait and three places in more than 20 years.
What Zhou Huimin prepared for Zhou Huimin is a Cantonese version of the song "Lonely as the Wind", this song is a ready-made tune, you only need to fill in the lyrics, the strength of the song itself is enough, and it will not cause too much conjecture.
Mo Fei himself is the boss of Phoenix Culture and the producer of "Asian Idol", and his identity must not be directly signed. And Liang Meiwei, the original Cantonese lyricist of this song, is now a person from famous music, and it is not appropriate to give this song to Zhou Huimin through her.
In the end, he cheapened Huang Zhan, a salty and wet old monster, on the grounds that he valued Zhou Huimin's future prospects and qualifications, and in the next issue, he personally wrote a song for Zhou Huimin to make a song. This also has a lot of benefits, firstly, it can increase Zhou Huimin's exposure, and secondly, it has a logical excuse, and at the same time, it can also hype the show, which can be regarded as a number of birds in one fell swoop.
"I practice every day, and Uncle Zhan also gives me a lot of advice, and now I can almost sing at the level of seven or eight points." Zhou Huimin is not only innocent, but also very quiet when she speaks, sometimes she is a little embarrassed to say a few more words, and now when she talks about this kind of thing similar to cheating, her face is even more red.
Mo Fei also felt that Zhou Huimin was too shy, so he should give the little girl a little encouragement, and said: "Huimin, you don't have to worry, you are a singer that the company wants to focus on cultivating, and it is entirely possible to win the championship with your strength, and we are just doing this to be more secure." Practice this song well, you can be popular before your debut, and then more people will buy your record, that's how to be a star, it's impossible not to hype, don't put too much pressure on yourself. ”
After appeasing Zhou Huimin, Mo Fei asked Huang Zhan again: "Uncle Zhan, today we should start recording the first scene of the group's internal elimination, have you decided which group to record?" ”
"It's going to be recorded today, and it's supposed to be recorded for Aaron's group." Huang Zhan said and raised his wrist to look at his watch, and said, "It's almost time, there is a kid in that group who is very good, I think he should be able to enter the top three, let's go and see it together?" ”
For Huang Zhan to say this, it seems that this player must be very interested, Mo Fei was also aroused, and said: "Uncle Zhan, what you said is so sure, I'm going to take a look, let's go." ”
Walking into a basketball court in the mainland that was temporarily converted into a competition venue, Mo Fei pretended to be a spectator and sat on the edge of the back row, but there were still sharp-eyed media judges who recognized Mo Fei and guessed what he was here to do, ready to notify his boss. The boss of Phoenix Culture came to the scene in person, suspected of selecting potential singers, which must be a good piece of entertainment news
The first intra-group knockout match soon began, and the first singer to appear was a girl, who walked onto the stage and politely bowed to the four mentors and the audience, and said hello in Japanese: "Mina Sama Kounichi Wow." ”
I don't know Japanese, but I still know how to say hello, and this girl uses the most respectful kind instead of the second-class "Mina Sanguchi Wow", or the most ordinary greeting "Mina Kou Nichi Wow", this girl should be from a very well-educated family.
Then the girl began to introduce herself in English: "I am Honami Suzuki from Tokyo, Japan, and the song I am going to sing today is ......"
After the girl finished the introduction, she bowed to the band behind her and thanked her, and signaled that she could start accompaniment, and a piece of Betty Higgins's marriage proposal "Casablanca" slowly surged out of the girl's throat, and the emotional grasp was quite in place.
Could it be that I don't have the heart to listen to her singing well now, I just stretched my neck and looked carefully at the girl who was singing, the same name, the same appearance, and the same from Tokyo, Japan, this time it shouldn't be wrong.
Honami Suzuki, one of the most popular actors in Japan in the 80s and 90s, a real "big actress", a "Tokyo Love Story" made her popular all over Japan, and then all over China, I don't know how many fans she has gathered. (Suzuki's background was originally a teacher's family, and the plot needs to be changed to a businessman's family.) )
Why did she come to Hong Kong to participate in the selection of "Asian Idol", this is simply nonsense, this is a waste of talent, she should go to acting, otherwise what about those classic plays.
Although Suzuki also sang songs for a while in his original history before completely turning to acting, in Mo Fei's opinion, this is a loss, and Mo Fei decided to prevent this mistake from continuing, and it must be stopped in time. (To be continued......)
