Chapter 300: External Competition
Time flies, and it's Saturday again.
Jiang Kan and Zhang Lingling had already bought their tickets and were ready to drive to the airport at the company.
Then he saw a young man wearing a fisherman's hat, large sunglasses covering his face, and a large mask covering the other half of his face walking towards them with a half-height suitcase.
"Xiao Zhang, this is ......"
Jiang Kan turned his head curiously to look at Zhang Lingling, but saw a face that couldn't help but smile.
"Haha, Uncle Kan, you won't recognize me with my disguise, right?"
The visitor took off his sunglasses, revealing a pair of familiar eyes.
"Xiao Wang? Why are you dressed like this and have a suitcase with you?"
Jiang Kan looked at the smiling eyes in confusion and asked puzzledly.
That's right, the person who came was Wang Yuchang, who was the same agent as him, Xiao Wang's classmate.
"Haha, Uncle Kan, I also participated in this issue of "Good Singer", how is it, aren't you surprised?"
Wang Yuchang laughed, pointed at himself with the index finger of the hand that didn't carry the suitcase, and showed an extremely proud look.
"Oh? You also participated? That's great, we can go to Shashi together!"
Jiang Kan is also very happy, it seems that the company also values his little fan brother very much, and I don't know how much cost and resources it took to send him into this increasingly famous show.
"Yes, I only got this place the day before yesterday, and yesterday I spent the whole day in the studio rehearsing the songs that I was going to compete in this competition, and now my voice is a little ......dry."
With that, he took out a box of throat lozenges from his pocket, poured one and threw it into his mouth.
"It turns out that there is a place for you this time, so who will be the remaining two fill-in singers, do you have any news?"
Jiang Kan waved his hand and refused the throat lozenges handed by the other party.
"I don't know about this, the program team is very tightly sealed."
"Brother Kan, the requirement of the program team is that the fill-in singer cannot reveal his identity to anyone before the competition starts, but Xiao Wang and you not only belong to the same company, but also I am the agent, so they also acquiesced to the news that we could know about his competition."
Several people got into the nanny car arranged by the company and drove towards the airport, and Zhang Lingling also instructed the two again.
"So it's good for us to know for ourselves, and we can also go to Shashi together, but when we get there, we will have to go our separate ways, Brother Kan, it's better for you to pretend that you don't know that Xiao Wang also participated, so as to prevent it from revealing when you shoot the surrounding area."
"Okay, I understand, just pretend to be a passerby when you get off the plane, I understand."
Jiang Kan patted Wang Yuchang on the shoulder very happily, this trip to "Good Singer" finally has a companion, I don't know what song this kid will sing later, and now he will laugh so confidently?
……
"Ha, Brother Kan, I haven't seen you for a week, I really miss me!"
As soon as he got out of the terminal, Liu Da ran over at a trot and hugged Jiang Kan, happy like a child who saw his parents who went out to work coming home.
He couldn't help but see that Jiang Kan was not excited, the singer he followed won the first place for three consecutive periods, and his competition assistant also had a bright face, not only did he greatly gain face in front of other host colleagues, but his status in the station was also rising, and this year's KPI alone had already been overachieved, and the station had already promised that a blockbuster variety show in the second half of the year would also reserve a host spot for him, but he was very happy. ….
The so-called one-person attainment of the Tao and the ascension of the chicken dog to heaven is like this.
I still took the dilapidated old-fashioned sedan along the way, and it wasn't until I got off the highway that I got into the luxury nanny car sent by Taili, after all, Jiang Kan's fame is now bigger and bigger day by day, and those paparazzi are not vegetarians.
"Brother Kan, your voice has fully recovered, right?"
Chatting in the car, Liu Da naturally heard the normality of Jiang Kan's voice, and couldn't help but be overjoyed.
"Yes, nothing
What's the problem, the diagnosis given by the hospital is still too conservative, and now I don't feel any pain when I sing or something."
Jiang Kan also gave him a reassurance, and even sang a few lines of "Blue and White Porcelain" to say that he had recovered, after all, the other party's problem also represents the meaning of the program team, and letting a contestant with a throat injury who has not recovered from it on stage will always affect the intensity of the show.
"I heard...... This time, we also invited foreign friends to the show?"
Seeing that the two were talking and laughing, and the relationship was very harmonious, Zhang Lingling asked this question that everyone was very concerned about in a timely manner, after all, it was also related to the final ranking of the two singers she brought this time.
"Hah, this, it's crazy out there, isn't it?"
When this question was mentioned, Liu Da became entangled, and his words became a little twisted.
After all, he signed a confidentiality agreement, and no matter how crazy the outside world is, it has nothing to do with him, as long as the news doesn't leak out of him.
"This, haha, the rules in the station can't talk about this, Sister Zhang, don't embarrass me anymore!"
Seeing that his face was full of confusion, Zhang Lingling didn't continue to ask, but according to the other party's words, he could guess that eight or nine would not be far from ten, after all, if Janice didn't come, he only needed to say "no" lightly, only if he really came, then he would not be allowed to discuss, this is actually the other party's subtle reminder to himself that this matter is true.
is worthy of being an old host who has been in the variety show industry for many years.
……
Jiang Kan's car and Wang Yuchang's car departed and arrived separately.
So when they came to the building of Shonan Satellite TV, there was only their car here.
Because he is a singer who has already shown his face, there is no need for Jiang Kan to pretend anymore when he arrives here, although there are also some reporters around the entrance of the building, but these are friendly people who have passed the official approval of the program team, and they will not ask any particularly out-of-the-ordinary questions.
"Teacher Jiang Kan, welcome to the beautiful Shashi, I am a reporter from the Shashi Evening News, I would like to ask if your throat has been completely restored?"
A female reporter with a wavy hairstyle and bright makeup handed over the microphone and asked her own question.
"Haha, thank you for your concern, my voice has fully recovered, and there is no problem with tonight's recording."
He nodded kindly, signaling to the media that his voice had been restored.
"Mr. Jiang Kan, I am a reporter from the Shashi Post, I would like to ask you in the third round of the competition, do you still have the confidence to continue to win the first place and maintain your winning streak?"
This is a question asked by a middle-aged male reporter in a suit and leather shoes and wearing gold-rimmed glasses. ….
"Haha, that's the question...... What do you want me to say, all I can say is that I will try my best tonight, and the other singers are very strong, who can always be number one, you say?"
"Hello teacher, I am a reporter from "Beautiful Sand City", I would like to ask you about the rumors that there will be foreign singers participating in this competition, if there are really international superstars participating in our competition, do you have the confidence to defeat them?"
An older female reporter asked the most poignant question of the interview, but strangely enough, the official staff next to her did not show a dissatisfied expression.
"Is this to build momentum for foreign singers, confuse the public, and then increase the popularity of the show?"
Jiang Kan can also imagine the entanglement of the program team, on the one hand, the rules of the program are to keep it secret, so that there will be a sense of freshness.
But I finally invited an international superstar, but in fact, I really wanted to publicize it with great fanfare, provoke more audiences to watch, build momentum for the show, and increase popularity.
"Huh...... This question, I think you should actually interview teachers like Zhao Yu and Liu Yiliang who have worked the art front for many years, and I am a newcomer who has just entered the industry, so I shouldn't bear such a heavy pressure, hahahaha~"
Jiang Kan is not stupid, he can hear the pit that the other party dug for himself in this problem.
If you say that you are confident, will someone come out and say that you really regard yourself as a domestic brother, and you feel that you are qualified to represent our Xia Kingdom against foreign singers?
If you say that you don't have confidence, will someone come out and say that you, as the first place in three consecutive periods, the representative of our domestic singers, don't have the courage to face foreign singers and disgrace the country?
Hehe, don't underestimate the discipline of these media...... Singers who don't pay attention to what they speak have long been educated by reality.
Seeing that Jiang Kan's answer was very "cunning", the older female reporter curled her mouth helplessly and didn't ask anything more.
"Okay, that's all for today's interview, reporters, please go back outside the cordon and wait for the next singer, Brother Kan, let's go in first."
Seeing that the reporter's question became tricky, Liu Da hurriedly stepped forward to separate the other microphones that stretched out to Jiang Kan, and he also pointed to this master to complete some more of this year's work performance, don't annoy him.
……
"Hoo ......"
Returning to the familiar lounge, Jiang Kan finally breathed a sigh of relief.
The masseur and makeup artist are also the same two from before, everyone is already very familiar, and after a few friendly greetings, Jiang Kan half lay on the sofa and enjoyed the masseuse's massage to relax the fatigue brought by the journey.
At this moment, the sound of messy footsteps sounded in the corridor outside the door, and it seemed that another group of people had entered the building.
"Who could it be?"
Jiang Kan closed his eyes and enjoyed the massage, but he was guessing who the remaining singer besides Wang Yuchang and Janice would be this time.
"It seems to be a female singer with the sound of footsteps in high heels."
Zhang Lingling walked to the door, put her ear on the door panel and listened carefully for a long time, but she could only come to this conclusion. ….
"The third fill-in singer is a woman? Who will it be?"
"Squeak~"
Just as he was thinking, the door was pulled open from the outside.
"Hey, Mr. Jiang, you look good, how is your throat recovering?"
A tall woman with elaborate makeup poked her head in.
It turned out to be Zhao Yu.
"Ha, Teacher Zhao Yu, please come in, we thought it was a new fill-in singer, it turned out to be you!"
As soon as Jiang Kan was about to get up, Liu Da greeted Zhao Yu in his place.
"Hehe, I'm here to see how Mr. Jiang's voice is recovering, I heard that our "Good Singer of the Xia Kingdom" also invited a foreign singer, we have to share the same enemy this time, and we can't lose face to domestic singers!"
Okay, this diva is really not polite at all, and her words are obviously dissatisfied with the program team, obviously saying that it is "Xia Guo", and you still invite foreigners, this is not about martial arts.
"My voice is fine, thanks to Mr. Zhao's concern, haha."
Jiang Kan had already sat up and responded to the other party's greetings very warmly, but did not answer the last half of her sentence.
The camera has been staring at the shooting, you are a diva, naturally you are not afraid of anything, I don't have your godhead, in case Janice's domestic fans are unhappy to listen to it, I can't stand up to your superstar body.
However, the relationship between himself and Zhao Yu is still quite friendly, not to mention that there is a good friend Xiao Feiyan in the middle, so the attitude that should be expressed is still to be expressed:
"Since it's a competition, it's ready to face all opponents, and the water and earth cover the troops, isn't it? Haha~"
While speaking, Jiang Kan also squeezed his eyes at Zhao Yu, who also understood and nodded at him with satisfaction.
After a few more simple greetings, Zhao Yu went back to his lounge.
Jiang Kan had just laid down to continue enjoying the massage, and in less than three minutes, he heard a knock on the door of "tuk, tuk, tuk".
"Ha, Mr. Jiang, how is your voice recovering?"
It turned out that Liu Yiliang also came to visit Jiang Kan, and he stretched out enthusiastically at the door
hands.
"It's okay, haha, I'm almost recovered, thank you Teacher Liu for your concern!"
Jiang Kan hurriedly sat up from the sofa and stretched out his right hand to shake him.
These days, he is also thinking about whether to give the song "White Rose", sung in the southern Cantonese dialect, to the other party to sing, in exchange for the other party's promise to help him play a role in the blockbuster film directed by Hu Zibin and raise his popularity.
Originally, he wanted to give "Nanshan Nan" to the other party, but when he thought about it, although the quality of this song is also very good, it is a folk song after all, and it does not match Liu Yiliang's fashionable style, and the other party also prefers songs that are slightly more pop style.
Moreover, the other party is also a Lingnan person, the Nanyue dialect is the mother tongue, which is very suitable for singing "White Rose", and his use of this dialect is also very unskilled, just the pronunciation is not standard, and singing may make people laugh, it is better to let the other party sing this song, and then sing it in Mandarin.
There is competition to make progress, and you can just use these two sister songs to test how much you have improved during this time.
Jiang Kan's plan is to compete with the other party on the same stage, you sing "White Rose", I sing "Red Rose", to see which rose is more beautiful, so this time he did not give him the song, but promised to give him the song next week.
Liu Yiliang got the promise of Jiang Kan to write a red poem, so now he looks at how Jiang Kan looks at it, and it is also sincere to greet him, and the smile on his face is also very sincere.
"By the way, also, we may face some external competition this time, is Mr. Jiang mentally prepared?"
Although Jiang Kan was not very optimistic about this newcomer who had just entered the industry when he first joined "Good Singer".
But after so many periods of actual combat competition, he also understood the strength of the other party.
So this time, when I heard the news that Janice was going to compete, I subconsciously pinned my hopes against her on Jiang Kan.
It's not that he doesn't have confidence in himself, but it's true that this eldest sister has been famous abroad for a long time, and her singing skills are indeed very good, at least he feels that his ability is a little inferior to this two-time Grammy Award winner.
"Hehe, Mr. Liu also heard the rumors? Teacher Zhao Yu was also talking about this just now...... It's okay, let's just do our own thing."
Jiang Kan didn't talk much, but smiled at Liu Yiliang with a confident expression.
He was actually very curious about whether the SS-level voice that the system gave him could defeat this terrifying opponent.
