Chapter 45: A song to fame
After Lin Yi's 10,000-mile trip entered a critical period of long-term preparation, Gu Caiwei also ushered in the biggest opportunity after her debut.
The second season of "The Singer" will start airing in early January, and the first episode will be recorded in late December.
At this stage, the starting lineup can no longer be hidden, and various entertainment records that have been squatting for a long time have photographed the seven singers who entered the Mango Channel building to record the program in Star City.
Needless to say, the others only encountered a little trouble when Gu Caiwei arrived.
Well, it's pretty to look at, but ......
Who is this?
Most reporters didn't recognize her at the first time, but they were professional after all, and someone soon found out the identity of this person, which was the "once in 5,000 years beautiful girl" that was noisy on the Internet some time ago.
When you hear this kind of name, you know that it is a farce, and well-informed industry insiders would not have paid much attention to it, so why did they suddenly enter the house?
After confirming the identity, of course, it was outrageous, and they quickly reached a consensus:
For the sake of hype this time, Mango Station doesn't want to lose face!
Through the competent work of these people, soon the first list of "Singer" was circulated on the Internet, and then there was another storm of public opinion.
Many people ran to Mango Channel's program Weibo to make a fuss.
Some simply insult Mango Station for its ugly appearance, I don't know how much black money it has received, and help this kind of girl group that has just debuted not long ago to advertise, "Singer" pills.
Some are fans of other debut singers who came over to complain, claiming that it is an insult to other singers to be on the same stage with idol singers who are not in the stream.
Some aimed at Gu Caiwei herself, sneering at her as a "related household" and "escort contestant", and all kinds of gossip were rampant, among which there were inevitably more ugly foul language.
It's hard to know for sure if these people are what they claim to be, but at least it's certain that the ones who have time to spend all day swearing on the Internet are idlers who don't have serious jobs.
In fact, the entertainment industry itself is a closed circle, and many precious opportunities are just private grants, and artists from all walks of life, whether they are likable or not, are all "related households" strictly speaking.
When Lin Yi noticed these news, he originally wanted to call Gu Caiwei to enlighten him, but it was Ms. Gu Changge who answered the phone.
She told Lin Yi that Gu Caiwei was concentrating on recording the show.
Peng Yuchen already knew what the reaction would be as soon as the news was made public, so he cut off the net for Gu Caiwei in advance as protection, and Ms. Gu Changge also rushed to Star City to accompany her.
In fact, Gu Caiwei has a very big heart, and the hype some time ago has attracted a lot of criticism, but she didn't take it seriously at all.
However, this time the opportunity of "Singer" Peng Yuchen has already made all the bets, and she can't pay too much attention to it, her requirements are foolproof.
Since the two most important people on Gu Caiwei's career path were by her side, Lin Yi was not too worried.
As for how to resolve this storm of public opinion, and even use it to boost Gu Caiwei's popularity, that is Peng Yuchen's job.
On January 3, not long after Wanli Travel just started this round of subsidy war, the first episode of the second season of "Singer" in which Gu Caiwei participated was broadcast.
As the most unknown of the starting singers, she was controversial because of the "original sin" of the girl group before the broadcast, and many people still paid attention to her debut performance.
The result: was circled by a wave of fans.
"How can there be such a good-looking woman, this is a fairy descending to earth!"
"Unexpected joy, the ceiling of the women's group's singing skills!"
"Why should such a female singer be an idol, please fly solo in place!"
In addition to these fancy rainbow farts, there was also a long article of tens of thousands of words on the Internet, which was titled "The reason why I didn't walk away when she opened her mouth was because I was going to listen to the squirt, but five minutes later I became her fan."
Well, with a very heavy taste of advertorials, Lin Yi thinks it should be Peng Yuchen's masterpiece, but it has actually gained the approval of many netizens.
For artists who have no strength or no audience, exposure may be unbearable, bringing only criticism, blame, abuse, and the most extreme punishment:
Don't look.
But for artists who have both, exposure means skyrocketing fans, fame and fortune, and soaring.
Gu Caiwei is obviously the latter.
Overnight, Vivian's name was finally no longer a self-congratulatory in the small circle, and everyone from all over the country knew about her reputation and recognized her singing.
Of course, it is impossible for everyone to love her.
Most of the accusations are saying that Mango Channel will do whatever it takes to make this newcomer named Vivian popular, and the singing effect presented on the show is the credit of "Millions of Sound Repairers", and as for the voting results, they are naturally shady votes.
Others criticized this girl idol for not even being able to come up with a song of her own, and she didn't deserve to be called a "singer" at all.
In principle, the first episode of this show requires singers to sing their own songs, but Gu Caiwei chose a classic old song by other female singers.
This was determined after she discussed it with Peng Yuchen, because the first album of Give Me Five was all singing and dancing songs with girly dances, which was not suitable for use in this kind of PK singing program.
However, Peng Yuchen invested in Gu Caiwei's opportunity regardless of the cost.
She found that after the first episode was recorded, "no original songs" became a black spot attacked by netizens, so she directly found a famous composer in the industry to buy an unpublished song, and then let Gu Caiwei sing it in the second competition.
The new song in the show responded to the previous criticism, and the TV station was also happy to see it, because this is also one of the highlights and topics.
On January 10, the second episode of the program was broadcast.
Everyone was surprised to find that they didn't sing their own songs last time, and this time Gu Caiwei simply came up with a new song that had never been released!
Fans are certainly looking forward to new songs, but since the collapse of the record industry, the domestic music industry has been declining, so talent has withered and good works are hard to find.
The song that Peng Yuchen bought was not only of high quality, but also Gu Caiwei showed good strength and very special timbre during the singing process, which gave people a refreshing feeling from any angle.
The audience at the scene was also very face-saving, and this issue directly gave Gu Caiwei a first place.
The two episodes of the show "Singer" are one round, and the two results need to be eliminated together, and Gu Caiwei naturally stays firmly in the safety zone.
After the two episodes were broadcast, Gu Caiwei not only became the most talked-about contestant this season, but also won the recognition of most people through her strength.
People are still looking forward to the successor of the Chinese music scene, and they are happy to see the emergence of a young female singer with characteristics.
As for the identity of the girl group, which was very controversial before, it doesn't matter to the older fans, because they don't know much about what a girl group is.
The more you are in the rice circle, the more you care about this kind of "coffee size", "ranking", and "professional contempt chain" and the like.
Of course, it is inevitable that someone will say sour things.
Gu Caiwei's family background was turned out of the tip of the iceberg, thinking that her debut in the girl group was "a rich daughter experiencing life", saying that it was not a big deal if she had a new song to sing, it was nothing more than "money ability".
Anyway, because Peng Yuchen protected her from the network during the competition, Gu Caiwei actually didn't know the feedback from the outside world for the first time, and knew that Ms. Gu Changge conveyed the good news.
She looked at her daughter very seriously and with satisfaction:
"Xiaowei, you're on fire."
