Chapter 262 - Looking for a guest singer, the means of the capital behind it

"Fang Xing, do you have any thoughts on the guest singers? Are you looking for it at the company? Or are you looking for a powerful singer outside? Liang Yusong helped to refer to the candidates for the guest singers.

With the strength of Fang Xing now, there are many helper singers to choose from.

Of course, if Tan Zhiguan is regarded as an imaginary enemy, it is a bit difficult to surpass him in the coffee position of the guest singer.

After all, the gossip has been said, and Tan Zhiguan is ready to ask the diva to help sing.

As for which diva Tan Zhiguan will invite, I can probably guess it.

There are not many female singers in the music world who can be called divas, and after excluding the divas who have passed their prime, there are even fewer left.

The diva who has a good relationship with Merlin Records, in fact, the answer is already coming out.

There is a high probability that it is Qi Xiuna, the leading diva of Puxiang Records.

This universal elephant diva, Fang Xing has never dealt with it.

However, there was an indirect intersection before.

When Jade Bird Media was looking for the theme song for the movie "Liao Zhai's Painted Skin", Puxiang Records also participated in the bidding.

At that time, Jade Bird Media took a fancy to "Painting Heart", but did not plan to let Li Caiwei sing it, but wanted Qi Xiuna to sing it.

If it is changed to another producer's song, it is likely that Qi Xiuna will sing this theme song.

It's just that Fang Xing has a tough attitude and insists on designating the singer himself, otherwise he will give up cooperation.

In the end, there was Li Caiwei's "Painting Heart".

Therefore, in the first round of the final of "Sing Loudly" this time, Tan Zhiguan's guest singer is most likely the diva Qi Xiuna.

The combination of kings and queens, whether it is a gimmick or strength, is already the ceiling of the Chinese music scene.

Therefore, the competition is very fierce this time.

Fang Xingyi hopes to invite a strong guest singer.

However, when choosing a guest to help sing, it is not the same as Tan Zhiguan.

Tan Zhiguan and Mailin Records, inviting guest singers, first set the diva to help sing, and then choose the songs to sing according to the guest singers.

Fang Xing is different, he is ready to determine the song to sing first, and then according to the characteristics of the song, find a suitable singer to sing this song.

Therefore, Fang Xing did not immediately determine the guest singer, but first considered what song to sing.

On the other hand, Merlin Records determined the candidates for the assistant singers very early and reported to the "Sing Loudly" program group.

Tong Fei naturally knew who Tan Zhiguan's guest singer was.

If Fang Xing really asked, he could actually ask.

This is a game-breaker, though.

Fang Xing hadn't reached the point where he wanted to win the game by this means, so he didn't ask Tong Fei for news about the matter of helping the guests.

……

A week before the finals, Feifan Entertainment officially began to build momentum for the finals of "Sing Loud".

began to announce the silhouettes and key information of the singers on major online platforms.

In the silhouette of the guest singer, a female singer with a strong aura appeared, and the key word was "diva".

And looking at the silhouette of the singing guest, it is indeed very similar to Qi Xiuna.

Although there is no clear answer, the audience has already decided that the guest singer is Qi Xiuna.

Meanwhile.

Merlin Records also responded positively and began to promote the King and Queen collaboration, pulling the gimmick to the top.

Many viewers learned the news and their hearts were full of expectations.

[The cooperation of the king and the queen of heaven, this show is enough to have a card. Needless to say, there is a high probability that it will be Qi Xiuna. 】

[Now the music scene is a popular strength queen, just a few, Zhang Huiying is already in the show, basically can only be Qi Xiuna. 】

[Tan Zhiguan and Qi Xiuna cooperate? ] This coffee position, it's about to explode this broken variety show, right? 】

[It seems that Tan Tianwang, this is a lifelong reputation, and he is going to win this championship. 】

[After all, he is a contemporary king, and he was pressed by Fang Xing in the first eleventh issue, and he must be unconvinced. 】

The pre-publicity of the finals is here, and the identity of the guest is actually about to come out.

Turquoise Records, on the other hand, is even more nervous.

held several meetings in a row to discuss the selection of songs and the matter of helping the guests.

"Fang Xing, have you figured out who you want to invite? Tan Zhiguan's side is basically open, it is Qi Xiuna. Liang Yusong was a little anxious.

Now Turquoise Records is on the rise, and it has formed a competitive relationship with Merlin Records.

If beaten by Merlin Records on Sing Out Loud, the upward momentum could be interrupted.

Fang Xing replied, "I want to confirm the song first." ”

"What about songs? Which song are you going to sing? Liang Yusong asked.

The brokerage team and the employees of the Songshi Music Production Department in the conference room were all watching Fang Xing, wanting to know the answer.

"Because the theme of this time, 'Those who love me and those I love,' is actually very broad. There are many songs to choose from. Fang Xing actually has a few alternative songs, but it still depends on what kind of singer he can find as a guest singer, and then determine the final song.

Liang Yusong nodded and said, "Yes, there are many songs to choose from on this theme. Most people's first reaction should be to sing love songs.

"Most of the love songs fit this theme. Therefore, the scope of this theme is very large, and the company has a lot of songs to sing. ”

Fang Xing shook his head slowly and said: "Actually, this theme doesn't necessarily have to be sung 'love', the people who love me and the people I love can express something more profound." ”

"And what do you mean?" Liang Yusong frowned.

"I'm thinking about singing about family affection." Fang Xing replied.

"Family affection is also okay, and there are many songs that fit this theme. What about the group of singers? Got an idea? Liang Yusong asked.

"I'm thinking about Xie Yuwen, when I recorded "Singing" last year, I listened to his live and sang very well, which is quite appropriate." Fang Xing put forward his own ideas.

Xie Yuwen is a first-line singer and a popular singer.

In last year's "Singing", the nouns of each competition were basically hovering in three or four.

At first glance, ranking three or four is not very high.

However, as long as you know who the first and second places are, you know that Xie Yuwen can win three or four places, which is quite good.

"Xie Yuwen's words, you can ask the agent to communicate with Yuwen Entertainment, and you should be able to get it." Liang Yusong heard Fang Xing's thoughts and felt that it was okay.

Although Xie Yuwen can't be compared with the queen Qi Xiuna in the coffee position, his singing strength is actually true.

"Wait a minute, I'll give him a call when the meeting is over."

At the time of "Singing", Fang Xing and Xie Yuwen got along quite well.

After the completion of "Singing", the two also had occasional contact.

Therefore, after the meeting, Fang Xing called Xie Yuwen and said that he wanted to invite him to be a guest singer.

Xie Yuwen agreed and was very happy.

Fang Xing made an appointment and prepared to try the song with him first.

It's just that the next day, Xie Yuwen suddenly asked Fang to wake up and go out for coffee, and said with a very embarrassed expression that he couldn't be a guest singer.

Fang Xing originally thought that he couldn't adjust the schedule.

It is normal for singers and artists to have schedule problems.

Fang Xing didn't care about it originally, since he couldn't cooperate this time, he would have the opportunity to cooperate again next time.

It's just that looking at Xie Yuwen's expression, he obviously wants to be a guest singer, but his expression is very difficult.

Fang Xing saw his appearance and felt that there was a hidden secret behind this matter.

Xie Yuwen apologized repeatedly, saying that he was very embarrassed, but as for the hidden secrets behind it, he did not elaborate.

Fang Xing didn't get to the bottom of it.

After returning to Songshi Records, I chatted with Liang Yusong, and learned the real reason from him.

"Right...... It's not that Xie Yuwen doesn't want to help sing, it's that he can't. ”

Liang Yusong shook his head and smiled, and continued: "Actually, when I heard you say that you wanted to find Xie Yuwen at the beginning, I was a little skeptical.

Because Xie Yuwen's company is Yuwen Entertainment, the company is named after him, but after the contract with the original brokerage company expired, he came out to open a company and received investment from Hongda Capital.

"Hongda Capital and Pengcheng Capital are mutually shareholding.

"Therefore, Pengcheng Capital also has influence on Yuwen Entertainment, and Xie Yuwen should have asked the opinion of the management, so he couldn't help sing."

Fang Xing felt that this matter was quite ridiculous: "It's just a guest singer, is it necessary to go to this extent?" ”

Liang Yusong laughed and said: "You may not know that Tan Zhiguan has been suppressed in the show, and he is in Merlin Records, but he is too angry."

Not only Tan Zhiguan, but Pengcheng Capital behind them is also very dissatisfied with the result.

"For capital, the most customary means is to use all means to suppress opponents.

"As long as they don't break the law, they will do anything, and restricting Xie Yuwen is nothing."

Fang Xing just felt that although Xie Yuwen's singing skills were good, he was only a first-line male singer, and his coffee position was not as good as Qi Xiuna's, which was a little too much.

"Okay. If you can't invite Xie Yuwen, then change the song. Fang Xing originally thought of a song and was going to cooperate with Xie Yuwen.

Now Xie Yuwen has received the restriction of the capital behind him, and he can't come to be a guest singer.

Then, there can only be substitutions.

Now that they've all changed, let's change a song.

Moreover, Fang Xing's temper came up.

Originally, I thought that in the first round of the finals, I didn't think there was any need to fight for the first place.

As long as you can make it to the second round of competition, it's enough.

However, now that Fang Xing's temper has come up, there is nothing to say, so he will amplify his moves in the first round.

"Change songs? Don't sing about family affection? Liang Yusong asked.

"No, I still want to sing family ......"

Fang Xing thought about it for a moment and asked, "Is it possible to invite a powerful singer from Xiangjiang?" ”

"Please a singer from Hong Kong? I know a few Xiangjiang singers, but the relationship is not hard. Liang Yusong frowned.

"That's right. I'll get in touch with that. ”

Fang Xing has connections in Xiangjiang.

"Wulin Gaiden" was once broadcast on Jade Channel in Xiangjiang and won the ratings championship during the broadcast.

Therefore, Fang Xing and Wang Yulin, the deputy director of Jade Terrace, have a good relationship.

In the afternoon of the same day.

Fang Xing called Wang Yulin and asked him to help introduce a Xiangjiang singer who has strong singing skills and strength in all aspects.

When Wang Yulin heard this, he immediately agreed.

It's not hard to help, it's just to help introduce singers.

Xiangjiang is not a big place, as the deputy director of Jade Channel, Wang Yulin can be said to be able to ask which Xiangjiang singer he wants to be on the show, and he can get it by name.

There are two main reasons why Fang Xing considered inviting Xiangjiang singers.

The first reason is that this time I am going to put on a Cantonese song and invite Hong Kong singers to sing, which will be more appropriate in terms of language.

Secondly, no matter how long Pengcheng Capital's hand is, it is impossible to reach to Xiangjiang.

……

Wang Yulin was very enthusiastic about helping, and the next day he made an appointment with Huang Anhua, the king of the Hong Kong Lottery, for dinner.

When Fang Xing saw Huang Anhua, he was a little surprised.

originally thought that Wang Yulin would introduce a first-line singer in the Hong Kong music scene, but he didn't expect to directly invite Huang Anhua, the king of the Hong Kong Lotter.

Huang Anhua is a superstar of the older generation, and he is fifty years old.

The era when he dominated the music scene was twenty or thirty years ago.

In the last decade, the number of public appearances of Huang Anhua has decreased significantly.

The first is that the golden age of the HK Phil has passed, and in the last decade or so, there have been fewer and fewer popular Cantonese songs.

The classic Cantonese songs that people are familiar with are still those from twenty or thirty years ago.

Wong Anhua was a man of his kind who witnessed the golden age of the HK Phil.

He is also over fifty years old, and he slowly calms down and enjoys life.

In terms of work, I basically pick up according to my preference.

Therefore, if he doesn't like "Sing Loud", or doesn't like the song he wants to sing, he will decisively refuse.

Therefore, Wang Yulin just invited Huang Anhua out for dinner, and whether he could cooperate in the end depended on Fang Xing to talk about it himself.

After all, when the king is a guest singer, it also depends on the environment.

If the song is not suitable for the program, Huang Anhua will definitely not be interested.

However, after Huang Anhua saw Fang Xing, he took the initiative to say hello: "I like your songs, especially "Men Should Be Self-Improvement", it's really amazing." ”

"It's been awarded, it's been awarded." Fang Xing hurriedly said a few words modestly.

The three of them chatted about the topic of the music world, and slowly chatted about helping the guests.

"It's been a long time since I've been on TV to sing, does Mr. Fang really want me to be a guest singer?" Huang Anhua asked in a more formal tone.

Fang Xing is actually not sure, after all, whether there is a tacit understanding of cooperation, whether the song is suitable or not, is also very important.

"I want to work with Mr. Huang, otherwise, let's find a place and try songs. Whether it's suitable or not, just sing it. Fang Xing made a suggestion.

Huang Anhua has been engaged in music for most of his life, and his favorite way of doing things is to sing it directly, whether it is suitable or not, it is clear at a glance.

Moreover, Fang Xing also wanted to determine whether Huang Anhua could still sing.

Huang Anhua was the absolute king of the music scene at his peak, but now he is fifty years old, and it is impossible to determine whether he is still in his prime.

"Okay. I like it, so let's find a place to try the song. Huang Anhua immediately agreed.

Wang Yulin didn't expect the two to talk so closely, and immediately said: "I'll arrange the place, go directly to our station." I'll arrange a singing room. ”

So, the three of them drove to the Emerald Terrace headquarters.

Wang Yulin arranged a singing practice room.

Fang Xing picked up a guitar and played and sang a Cantonese song in front of Huang Anhua.

After singing, he said, "This is the song I prepared, I don't know what Mr. Huang thinks." ”

Huang Anhua's expression was a little excited, and he applauded vigorously: "It's great, this song is very good, I like this song." If nothing else, just with this song, I agreed. ”

Although Fang Xing knew from the beginning that this song would definitely move him, he didn't expect him to agree so quickly, which was still a little surprising.
