Chapter Thirty-Seven: The Storm Caused by an Invitation

With the completion of the concert, Li Erya's busy life lasted for a long time, and finally began to become a little more leisurely, and the recording of the second official album is continuing in an orderly manner, and there is no need to rush as in the previous months. ￠￡，

The songs included in the two albums sung by Li Erya in advance at the concert were announced by CUBE on the night of the concert, and it was logical to occupy the top 1 position on the real-time click list of major music source networks.

The lyrics of the two songs are very meaningful, especially for the fans, because Li Erya herself explained that these two songs are for fans, expressing some of the things he wants to say to fans in his heart, and the fans who are moved don't want to, those fans who didn't come to the scene because of something shouted 'If I had known this, I would have to take leave even if I was busy' and the like.

And they all ran to the official website to leave a message, strongly asking the cube company to hurry up and prepare for Li Erya's second solo concert, Hong Shengcheng can only say that he will consider everyone's opinions, and then make arrangements according to Li Erya's itinerary, to put it bluntly, it is perfunctory, and the concert is not open as soon as it is said, there are many comprehensive factors in all aspects, otherwise it will become a cabbage on the street?

There is no way, this group of fans who did not go to the scene can only satisfy themselves with some meal videos sent by other fans who have been to the scene, but how can watching the video in front of the computer have the immersive feeling of the scene?

There are also some fans who used the two songs "Memory" and "Confession" sung by Li Erya at the end to make various meal videos. The picture is very touching. It can be called a circle rice artifact. The major video websites are almost slaughtered, and the number of registrations with Li Erya's official fanclub has increased slightly.

"By the way, what's the matter with the president suddenly calling me?" Li Erya, who was recording a new song for the album in the recording studio, was suddenly called out of the studio by Ahn Junhyuk, saying that Hong Shengcheng was looking for him in an emergency.

"I don't know, but the president told me to call you to his office," Ahn Joon-hyuk said, shaking his head.

"That's right," Lear nodded, and began to think about it, he had nothing else to do but the new album lately. I don't know what Hong Shengcheng wanted to do when he asked him to go over.

Soon, Li Erya came to Hong Shengcheng's office door and raised her hand and knocked on the door.

After a while, Hong Shengcheng's voice came from inside, "Please come in"

Hearing this, Li Erya pushed open the door and walked in, and when she looked up, she saw that Hong Shengcheng was returning to his seat with two cups of steaming coffee.

"Erya is here, come on, come and sit," Hong Shengcheng said with a smile, pointing to the seat in front of him.

"Hmm," Li Erya walked to the side of her seat, pulled out a chair and sat down, then looked up at Hong Shengcheng and asked, "President, you are in such a hurry to ask Brother Junhe to call me." Is there something important? ”

"Hehe, don't worry. It's not a big deal, take a sip of coffee first, and then talk slowly" Hong Shengcheng waved his hand, took the coffee with a smile, and took a sip slightly.

"Uh......" Li Erya was stunned for a moment, and then Xue Hong Shengcheng, who also drew a gourd, took a sip of coffee, since Hong Shengcheng said that it was not a matter of importance, then he had nothing to worry about.

"That's right," Hong Seung-sung said after a while, "Today I received an invitation from the crew of a new program launched by MBC TV this year, and they want to invite you to participate in this program."

"Huh? Variety shows? Is it an outdoor variety show, or a talk show? Li Erya asked curiously as she stirred the brown liquid in the cup with a spoon.

"Neither," Hong Shengcheng said, shaking his head.

"That's?" Li Erya asked, he hasn't watched much TV this year, let alone variety shows, and is very impressed by the variety show held by MBC TV, just one "We Are Married", because he himself participated in the recording.

"Hehe" Hong Shengcheng smiled and said, "The name of this show is "I Am a Singer""

"I'm a singer?" Li Erya muttered quietly, always feeling that she had heard this name somewhere, as if it was very famous, but the specific Li Erya was not very clear.

"That's right," Hong Shengcheng explained, "This is a new singing variety show planned by MBC this year, a bit similar to the talent show "Superstark" you participated in before, it is very popular on the Internet, you don't know? ”

“………… I really don't know" Li Erya shook her head, and then asked very puzzled, "Didn't I already make my debut and still participate in the talent show?" Hong Shengcheng's explanation made Li Erya a little more confused, will this kind of show invite artists who have debuted?

"I said it's just similar to "Superstark", there is still a difference between the two, "Superstark" is a show that provides a channel for those who pursue their musical dreams, and the guests invited by the show "I Am a Singer" are aimed at those who have debuted in the music industry for a long time."

"There will be seven guests in each show, and the audience votes to determine the ranking of the seven people, and the person at the end will be eliminated, because the people invited are all seniors in the music industry, so the show has no judges, and the judges are the audience present and in front of the TV"

"Senior? How big is the specific generation? ”

"Look at it for yourself," Hong Shengcheng took out a list and handed it to Li Erya and said, "The seniors above don't need me to introduce them to you one by one, right?" ”

This is the list of guests in each episode of the show since it was broadcast, Li Erya originally planned to take a cursory glance, but when he saw the first name of the first issue, he was a little surprised and speechless, he actually saw the name of the former love song king Jin Modeling on the list.

It may be that the younger generation is very unfamiliar with this name, but for Li Erya, this is definitely a name that cannot be forgotten in her youth, Kim modeled the 'love song king' of the Korean song industry in the 90s. That's right, it's a king-level character. Many albums have sold more than one million. Countless popular songs, Lear Ya liked to listen to Kim Model's songs when she was a student.

Kim Modeling is a real senior from any point of view, and then Li Erya looked down again, Lee So-ro, Baek Ji-young, Kim Beom-so, Kim Kyung-ho...... And so on, all of them are seniors who have debuted for many years. These people may not have much popularity in the current music industry, but their status is absolutely undoubted.

"This ......" Li Erya opened her mouth and didn't know what to say, "Is the program team serious?" The positioning of this show should be to dig out those predecessors who are forgotten by people now, right? Are they sure I'm going to be on the show? ”

It's not that Li Erya is not confident, it's mainly because she's afraid of the pressure of public opinion, the system of seniors and seniors in the music industry is very strict, and it's an honor to be able to perform on the same stage with these seniors, and it's also a kind of pressure.

Li Erya probably understands why this show is so popular, every year boring netizens on the Internet and some unscrupulous editors will post something similar to what singer's singing skills ranking and the like, but the singers who are listed on the list rarely have the experience of performing on the same stage, let alone competition.

MBC sees this in mind. Taking the old singers back on stage as a highlight, as the saying goes, it is good. In these years, feelings are the most critical, and then a link of elimination is set up, which is like Guan Gong vs. Qin Qiong is not just compared with written descriptions, but really competed.

However, this is Li Erya's biggest scruples, he debuted in less than 3 years, competing with these seniors on the same stage, if he wins, won't it become disrespectful to his predecessors? If you lose, won't some people grab the handle and scold you? It's a thankless thing, so Li Erya hesitated.

"I know your concerns," Hong Shengcheng said very directly, "When I first received the invitation notice, I was just like you, and it may be profitable to record such a show rashly, and something may happen."

"In fact, with your current development trajectory, you don't need such a variety show to help, but after thinking about it carefully, I think you can consider going down to this show to give it a try"

"Oh?" Hong Shengcheng's words aroused Li Erya's interest, and he immediately asked curiously, "What do you think, president?" ”

"Sending you an invitation, it undoubtedly means that the program team recognizes your singing skills, if it is announced, it will undoubtedly give people an illusion, and subconsciously they are very sure of Erya's singing skills, and then, compete with Jin Modeling and them on the same stage, even if you are eliminated after only one episode, it will be more beneficial than disadvantageous for you"

"This is a great boost to your status in the music industry, and then if the company does a good job of public relations, it can also create a wave of momentum for you to hit the record awards at the end of this year, which can almost be said to be harmless, so I mean I want you to agree to the invitation to participate in the recording of "I Am a Singer"

"Since you said so, then help me reply to the people from MBC TV" Li Erya weighed it, nodded and said, Hong Shengcheng is right, there is no reason to refuse such a show, although many people have affirmed Li Erya's singing skills before, but in fact, Li Erya has not shown much of her singing skills since "Superstark".

In order to cater to the market, most of the songs on the album are some brisk saliva songs, which cannot be reflected, so many anti-rice have been criticizing Li Erya's so-called strong singing skills but just a false name, and now that such a show has appeared, you might as well give it a try, not to mention that you can also build momentum for yourself to impact the ballad awards.

"Then it's so sure, tonight, you and I will visit Jin Modeling, after the list is announced, the media will definitely visit them, contact them in advance, establish some feelings, and let them help you say a few words, your pressure will not be so great" Hong Shengcheng said, after so many years in the circle, the contacts he has accumulated are reflected at this time, if he is not sure, he will not be so easy to ask Li Erya to take risks.

"Well, I see" Liarya nodded, a visit was definitely necessary.

That night, Hong Shengcheng took Li Erya to meet Jin Modeling and a few others, and by the way, he called and chatted with a few guests who are still participating in the competition, and they basically knew each other.

And after getting a positive reply from the cube side, the people of MBC TV announced the news that Li Erya was about to participate in "I Am a Singer" on the Internet, and the reason why they considered inviting Li Erya was nothing more than to create a gimmick, inviting a representative of a singer who debuted less than 3 years ago but is the most popular singer at the moment, to compete with those singers of the last century, doesn't it represent the confrontation between the new generation and the older generation?

No matter how you look at it, it is a topical approach, and the follow-up things have also confirmed that the approach of the "I Am a Singer" program team is correct, and on the night of the announcement, the entire network was boiling.

As MBC's ace variety show "I Am a Singer" on the weekend, it has attracted much attention, and now there is news that Li Erya is going to participate in the competition, which makes the audience who watched the show very surprised.

There are opposites to things, some audiences are happy to see fresh blood to compete, Li Erya, as a singer of the new generation, is undoubtedly the most eye-catching one in the music industry now, he must be full of highlights when he comes to participate, and some people oppose it.

Originally, the slogan of this show was 'regain the feeling of singing', which is to give the audience back the feeling of listening to songs in this era of saliva songs and dance music, they are afraid that Li Erya will destroy the original meaning of the show, and with Li Erya's qualifications, competing with these seniors doesn't seem a little disrespectful to the seniors?

The two sides had a heated argument online.

"I don't know who made this decision, but I just want to say that it was definitely an incredibly bad decision and could even ruin the show"

"I think the confrontation between the new generation and the old generation is very good, how can it be so exaggerated as you say? It is not an exaggeration to say that this is a kind of inheritance ceremony, I think the program team should invite more young singers to come, accept more influence from the older generation of singers, and don't forget the original intention of jì singing"

"Hehe, the program team is doing this purely for the sake of ratings, inheritance, I'm afraid it's someone's fan YY theory coming out, right?"

"If Li Erya participates, I will refuse to watch the show "I Am a Singer"!"

"Love to watch or not, there is no shortage of you alone, Erya oppa wolf black! I'll vote for you!! ”

“…………”

The Internet instantly became lively, and Li Erya, as the party concerned, once again dominated the major headlines, and other idols said that they were speechless, and the media were all relatives of Li Erya's family? Why do you take care of him so much?

So much so that even Jessica half-jokingly said that Li Erya is not the illegitimate son of a certain chaebol, and this kind of treatment can't find a few people in the entertainment industry, right? (To be continued.) )
