Chapter 026 The Hardest Song

The next day, Chen Shuting got up early and woke up at five o'clock. He went out for a run, came back to practice martial arts, and was covered in sweat.

By the time he had taken a bath, the sun had slowly risen, hanging from the treetops in the distance, casting golden light on the milky white curtains, and the dappled light and shadow were golden and warm.

Unknown birds swept low through the light, and the ink tail cut off the enchanting golden light.

Chen Shuting went downstairs to buy breakfast by himself.

After he had breakfast and cleaned up the house, Xiao Ling rushed over with breakfast.

"You've eaten it all, I've eaten it." Chen Shuting said.

"Oh" Xiao Ling was stunned, "Brother Chen got up early again today?" Then, as expected, he ate both breakfasts, and ate a little hard.

At ten o'clock, the company had a meeting, and Lao Xie Qian told Chen Shuting not to be late.

Therefore, Chen Shuting and Xiao Ling went out from home at half past eight.

There was a traffic jam on the road.

Xiao Ling was irritable and kept sighing, while Chen Shuting followed the singing course he downloaded from the company's topic library to practice hanging his voice.

When Chen Shuting tightened his throat, his voice was sharp and harsh. Xiao Ling was stuck in traffic, and was collapsed by Chen Shuting's hanging voice behind him, thinking: "I want to hit someone!" ”

"Who do you want to hit?" Chen Shuting asked.

It turned out that what Xiao Ling thought to himself actually said to himself.

Xiao Ling was in a very bad mood, and he also followed Chen Shuting for a while, knowing that this boss was not a joke, so he told the truth: "You, and the driver in front." ”

"You can't beat it." Chen Shuting said flatly, and then continued to raise his throat.

Xiao Ling continued to be irritable.

They drove at a staggered pace in the traffic for more than an hour, and finally felt downstairs at 9:48.

Chen Shuting saw that he was about to be late, and trotted all the way to the conference room that Lao Xie explained.

The conference room was already full: nine artists, and an agent. They were all playing on their phones, waiting for the superintendent to arrive.

Chen Shuting sat next to Lao Xie.

Chen Shuting had just sat down, and the person in charge of the show came in this time.

The director's surname is Bai, his name is Bai Qinian, a man in his fifties, tall, white and fat, and very imposing. He is a senior musician, and many of the company's popular songs are from him.

Bai Qinian is a behind-the-scenes music talent, he doesn't smile, and he doesn't talk nonsense at the beginning, he directly said the company's crisis again: "This year is an eventful year, Li Chun has just left, and there has been another scandal in the program we jointly created with Zhejiang Provincial TV Station."

This time, I hope that you will work with me to fight a beautiful turnaround, just like the box office of "Proud in the Sky", withstand the pressure of the outside world and have a perfect counterattack! ”

When he spoke, he glanced at Chen Shuting and Lao Xie a few times, intentionally or unintentionally.

And they all peeked at them both.

Lao Xie and Chen Shuting sat upright, listening carefully to Bai Qinian's words, nodding and nodding, smiling and smiling, and being serious, as if they didn't understand Bai Qinian's hints.

After Bai Qinian's words were finished, everyone applauded, and Chen Shuting and Lao Xie applauded.

Then, Bai Qinian said the next public relations steps: first deny the video, deny the content of the video talk; Then look at the "professional" perspective of the water military to analyze the video, point out the loopholes of the video, and get the fake results; The official of the program team reprimanded the person who posted the video and demanded that the other party apologize, otherwise a lawyer's letter would be issued.

All those who participate in the show must forward the meager "refutation of rumors", and they must not be humble to defend the program "The Voice of Idols".

"The notice fee of 800,000 yuan also includes the public relations fee." Chen Shuting thought to himself.

Like all the artists who participated in the show, he wrote down Bai Qinian's request.

Then, Bai Qinian's secretary and colleagues from the company's legal department took the contract and signed it for them.

Chen Shuting signed.

After signing the contract, some artists stayed to ask about the next program arrangement, and some artists got up and left.

Chen Shuting and Lao Xie greeted Bai Qinian, and then left.

On the 18th, in the morning, the company called Chen Shuting's after-tax money; In the afternoon, Chen Shuting received an email forwarded to him by Lao Xie, and the new schedule of "The Voice of Idols" came out.

"Divided into two groups of aB, the lottery process was recorded at 9 pm on the 19th; Rehearsal Group A on June 21; Rehearsal on June 28 for Group B. The first rehearsal song is decided, and the song is selected by lot; Three singers were eliminated in the first phase, and one singer was eliminated in each group in each subsequent period; The judges will score, and the white fox video website will score on the spot, which will be included in the total score of the second game. Chen Shuting slowly read the information sent by the program team.

After reading it, he understood.

"The scoring rules have changed a lot." Chen Shuting said to Lao Xie.

"Yes, the White Fox Video website originally got the right to broadcast the Du family live on this show. The program team discussed with them, and since they wanted to change, they simply used the scoring system of their program group to rate netizens.

White Fox Online Video has done such a similar program, and their backstage system is very mature and does not need to be added. Old Xie said.

"How to put an end to ticket swiping?" Chen Shuting asked again.

"I can't put an end to it, I can only increase the cost of swiping votes a little: only VIP members of the White Fox Video website can participate in voting. VIP membership, the cheapest monthly membership, 19 yuan a month. Lao Xie said, "Netizens don't suffer either, originally the White Fox Video website has a membership system, and you can vote if you are a member, and you can also watch VIP movies of White Fox Video." ”

"How do you score that?" Chen Shuting asked again, "The online scoring is the same as the judges' scoring?" ”

"It's not." Lao Xie said, "In the first phase, three people were eliminated in each group, and then one person in each group was eliminated in each phase. After the first episode of the show, netizens can vote for their favorite contestants within 24 hours.

At the beginning of the second period, after each contestant sings, the one with the lowest score given by the judges will have the final PK with the contestant with the lowest score in the previous online popularity, and then the judges will score and eliminate the one with the lowest score in the PK competition. Lao Xie said.

Chen Shuting completely understood.

"Will the audience buy it?" Chen Shuting said, "It seems that the system is open and transparent, but the final decision is still in the hands of the judges." Moreover, they need to pay money to vote, which is particularly unpleasant. ”

"Buy it or not, it's an experiment." Lao Xie said, "When the show arrives here, we have to go down, otherwise many people in charge will suffer." ”

"I have to say that they are very bold and react quickly." Chen Shuting also fairly praised the "Accidental Voice" program group.

"They've done one issue, and everything is ready-made." Lao Xie said, "The partners are all the top in the industry, and this adaptability can still be obtained." ”

Chen Shuting nodded.

On the morning of the 19th, Lao Xie and Xiao Ling accompanied Chen Shuting to Hangzhou.

After staying at the hotel, the program team immediately sent an internal assistant over to explain the new rules and regulations.

The assistant assigned to Chen Shuting is a girl surnamed Wan.

At nine o'clock in the evening, Chen Shuting, together with nineteen other contestants, went to the studio where the show was recorded to draw lots in groups.

There is no need for rehearsals for the draw, there are a lot of white notes on the huge table, twenty people are surrounded in all directions, and the director shouts to start, and each person takes a note.

Chen Shuting took the one closest to him.

Expand and take a look, Group A.

That is, he needs to stay in Hangzhou and participate in the rehearsal on the 21st; The ten people in Group B can go back temporarily and wait for the 28th to participate in the rehearsal.

"Yang Lele, Sun Yan, Zhou Wei, Chen Shuting, Zhou Yudan, Qin Yuanming, Wu Youyou, Zhang Song, Li Songling, Yang Yang."

This is a list of ten people from Group A.

"Let's continue to finish the recording of the song lottery, everyone can go back to rest, and wait for the day after tomorrow to come directly to the rehearsal, and work hard for everyone today." The director said to the crowd in Group A.

When the cameras and lights were ready, the director shouted to start, and everyone began to draw lots to draw the songs set in the program group. This link is also to be played.

Chen Shuting took the nearest note again.

"Forget It Doesn't Matter." When the camera came, Chen Shuting unfolded the note in his hand to let the audience see what song he smoked.

In this recording, there is no ng again, it is just a passing one, and you don't play well and you think you're unlucky.

Back at the hotel, Lao Xie found out the song "Forget It Doesn't Matter" and showed it to Chen Shuting.

"Forget Without Care" is the work of the music giant Di Mingju in his golden age. Di Mingju's voice is characterized by a thick and full timbre, and this piece is high and passionate.

Chen Shuting listened to it twice and felt that this song was particularly difficult, with a large vocal range, and it needed to switch smoothly between true and false sounds; The song has to explode at multiple ends, which requires a thick and durable voice.

Whether it is the technique or the muscle durability of the voice, it completely exceeds Chen Shuting's ability, and even exceeds the ability of more than eighty percent of singers in the Chinese music scene.

Chen Shuting's face was a little bad, he felt that the two junior "singing skills" of 85 gold coins and 150 gold coins in his system couldn't cope with this song at all.

No matter how high the level of singing skills is, it may not be able to cope with it.

It's so hard!

"It's so hard for me to draw this song!" Chen Shuting was very frustrated and said, "In the songs of this lottery, is the difficulty similar?" ”

"No, it's difficult and easy to combine, you're unlucky, and you won the most difficult draw in this issue." Lao Xie said, "Don't worry, I'll say hello to the jury, even if you sing badly, I'll let you pass this issue." The three people who brushed down were definitely not you. ”

"How dare they do shady?" Chen Shuting couldn't help but be amused.

"Naive, where there are people, there is a shady scene, not to mention that it is not a matter of breaking heads." Old Xie said.
