Chapter 439: Choosing a song for the semi-finals
"However, what song should I sing in the semi-finals? Those two are reserved for the finals...... Xiao Zhang, are they allowed to sing the same songs as in the preliminary round during the rematch? Jiang Kan scratched the hair on the back of his head, and now there is a song in the charts that he provided to Jiang Miaomiao, "When is the Bright Moon", and "Wukong" was also posted on the Internet as a movie promotional film by the animation company in Hangzhou, so that he has two songs to choose from.
The just-released "Moon and a Half Serenade" is the third song, and he has no other plans to release songs this month, so the last two songs are the alternate tracks for two weeks after he entered the finals.
"Yes, after all, the range of songs they stipulate is only twenty, and the selection of songs is quite limited, and the program team does not refuse the preliminary contestants to sing the songs of the preliminary round in the semi-finals." Zhang Lingling had carefully studied the rules of the competition, so now her answer was reasonable and methodical.
"In fact, those judges won't know what song you sang in the preliminary round, and the semi-finals were all separated, and he didn't even know who the singer standing in front of him was and what he looked like, he would only know your number."
"It can be said that this is a program that only listens to sound, otherwise so many contestants in the society who are not outstanding in their facial features will not join." Indeed, this is one of the biggest selling points of this show, regardless of looks or social status, and it doesn't matter if you are a man, a woman, old or young.
As long as you sing well, the judges who don't know your details can give you a high score, and if you are a little luckier to join the finals, you can also enjoy the 200,000 breakthrough bonus of the organizing committee, which can be said to be the fairest competition in recent years.
I have to say that the brains of Huang Shengcai and Jiang Linlin are easy to use, no wonder they have dominated blockbuster variety shows like "Xia Guo Good Singer" in the fiercely competitive Shashi Satellite TV for many years.
"Hehe, that's good, I'll continue to sing "When Will the Bright Moon" and surprise the judges when the time comes......" Jiang Kan smiled, he knew how much his female voice looked like a real girl when she sang, and when the time came to the semi-finals, she would still sing with this voice, and after singing, the judges would take a look, huh?
How is it a man? Haha, that's interesting.
"Hey, Brother Kan, aren't you afraid that the judges will give you little shoes in the finals?" Zhang Lingling couldn't help but laugh after hearing Jiang Kan's abacus, while feeling that Brother Kan's idea was too chicken, and on the other hand, she felt that it seemed to be really interesting, and couldn't help but look forward to the rematch even more.
……
"Mr. Wang, haha, good news!" In Yangcheng, in the office building of Thundering Film and Television, Lao Lu happily knocked on the door of the boss's office and strode in.
"Oh? Lao Lu, sit, what's the good news? "Mr. Wang is also in good spirits during this time, Lao Dou handed over the power of the family business to him, the third brother, and the two brothers were not convinced at first.
But as they run the company better and better, and send capable people to help them deal with some problems that their company has not been able to handle well, such as financial and personnel accounts, they have gradually become recognized by themselves.
"Hehe, good news, our drama, "Golden Family", has attracted a new investment, and a cultural media company in Yanjing has invested another 10 million in us, and the crew's originally tight budget is generous! We can also decorate the few scenes that we planned to shoot perfunctorily at that time, and the costumes of the supporting characters can also be strengthened to highlight the sense of historical atmosphere...... "The more Lao Lu said, the happier he became, rubbing his palms excitedly.
After all, this project was entrusted to him by the boss with carte blanche to keep an eye on, can he not be happy!
"Oh? That's good, it seems that our company's works are gradually opening up the situation across the country, and I will also tell you a good news, "Return to Daqin" was bought by Jinmen Satellite TV, and it is ready for the second round of star broadcasting! It is said that the new helmsman of Jinmen Satellite TV is a fellow from Lingnan, who likes his hometown style TV series very much, and the theme song of the TV series "The Highest Destiny" has become a tune that he has often hummed in recent times, so you can imagine how much a theme song helps the TV series.
"Oh, by the way, Mr. Wang, many companies have already accepted the competition list for the theme song of "Golden Family" released a few days ago, especially Xinghai and Feiyang, all of whom said that they would invite Xu Zhongsheng and Jiang Kan to compose music and lyrics according to our requirements." The list of three million + two million is not a small single that can be ignored nationwide, and the two giants send their own ace composers to compete, which is also a phenomenon that Thundering Film and Television hopes to see.
"That's good, you must keep up with it, the total investment of our TV series has now reached 60 million, and it can already rank among the top three in the production cost of this year's TV series, and there can be no mistakes at all, you know!"
"Kokokoko". As soon as Mr. Wang finished saying this, there was a knock on the office door.
"Please come in!" He turned his head and looked in the direction of the gate.
"Eh, Mr. Wang, Manager Lu, you are really here, you said that once Xinghai or Feiyang sent a sample of the work, I will notify you immediately, and I will come over directly......" The knock on the door was a confidant subordinate under Lao Lu, who was holding a USB disk and nodded respectfully to Mr. Wang, and then looked at his direct superior.
"Oh? So fast? Lao Lu turned his head and glanced at the boss, and when he saw that the other party also had a surprised expression, he walked to his subordinate and took the USB drive.
After the subordinate stepped back, the two of them took the USB drive and looked left and right.
"It's only been a few days, five days, right? That's it? Mr. Wang looked at the USB drive in Lao Lu's hand, a little expectant, a little excited, and a little confused.
"After all, he is a composer who has won the Oscar, and he should have real skills in his hands, so why don't we listen to it now?" Lao Lu handed the USB drive to the boss, and said with some uncertainty.
"Listen, let's also hear what level this Oscar is!" He plugged the USB drive into the computer interface and turned on a pair of speakers on the table.
In an instant, a melodious guzheng sound came out of the speaker, light in front and heavy in the back, like crying.
Then the melodious sound of the flute slowly joins, creating a cheerful and tense atmosphere, as if describing the protagonist's first glimpse of the heroine, and the irrepressible joy and enthusiasm in his heart.
"At the beginning of the spring breeze, I caught a glimpse of your side face, and the willow leaves flew like a frightening wave, like a light veil blowing on your face." A young man's singing voice sounded slowly, as if a handsome noble boy was wandering the streets in early spring, but saw a slender young woman on the side of the street.
He saw her turn around by chance, and although the falling willow leaves covered most of her face, her beautiful and seductive eyebrows were like a lightning bolt in the night sky, illuminating his parched heart!
The singing continues, the melody is clear and elegant, and gradually blends into the piano and soft drum beats, so that the two of them are fascinated, as if they have really entered that psychedelic and chaotic era, and witnessed the beautiful love between a pair of beautiful people.
Soon, the one-and-a-half-minute demo song was played. Both of them are still deeply immersed in the beauty and illusion created by the song, and they can't extricate themselves.
"Awesome, this Master Xu is worthy of the power to win the Oscar!" Mr. Wang shook his head violently, woke up from the illusion brought by the song, and gave a thumbs up suddenly.
"Yes, worthy of being a composer who can be called a master, I almost thought I had returned to the era of the beginning of the last century, watching a noble son meet a beautiful woman on the street, and then chase her desperately......" Lao Lu also woke up from the afterglow of the song, nodded his head fiercely, and praised the song.
"Master Xu really lives up to his reputation, then, or ...... Let's just use this song? Seeing that the boss was also full of praise for this song, Lao Lu asked cautiously.
"Hmm...... There is no rush to decide for the time being. Once his consciousness regained his clarity, Wang Leiming returned to the original shrewd and meticulous thinking of the boss.
"Aren't there still so many companies' works that haven't been sent, especially the flying Jiang Kan, before his works arrive, we are not in a hurry to decide which company to use." After all, they are composers who have cooperated very happily with each other, and if there is no matter of Xu Zhongsheng's return to China this time, he plans to directly hand over the list to Jiang Kan to do.
"That's okay, Mr. Wang is cautious, let's pick and choose first, and compare more." In fact, Lao Lu himself is also inclined to wait for Jiang Kan's works a little longer, but wasn't he emotionally at this point just now, the boss admires Master Xu's works so much, in case he pushes it, the boss will decide, won't he save too much trouble in the future?
"Maybe this song wasn't so good, but we were affected by the celebrity effect of his master? Lao Lu, let's listen and watch more in the future! Feeling that he was a little impulsive just now, Lao Wang still took a deep breath and said to the other party calmly.
"What Mr. Wang said is that I was a little excited just now, hehehehe......" Lao Lu's face remained unchanged at all, and he immediately respectfully said that he had been taught, which made Mr. Wang very satisfied, and nodded slightly.
Neither of them knew that this song was actually the work of Zhang Lei, the proud disciple Xu Zhongsheng received abroad, but after completing the sample, he helped the disciple do some polishing.
Of course, the outside world must say that this is his own work Xu Zhongsheng, after all, it is not his disciple who spent three million to find, but his Master Xu himself.
…… Time is like an arrow, and today is the day for Jiang Kan to participate in the rematch of the show. It was arranged for him to sing in the afternoon, so after lunch, he didn't take a nap as usual, and took a taxi directly to the designated place - Tianhe Grand Theater.
It is already crowded here, with contestants signing up, family and friends accompanying them, and passers-by fans who simply come to see if they can meet celebrities, and of course, there are many reporters and paparazzi who want to dig up news, and some scouts who want to dig out new stars gather together to form a crowded sea of people.
He was assigned to enter the venue at 3:28 p.m., and when he arrived here after 2 o'clock, he strolled around as if he were a walk after dinner.
In order not to be recognized by fans and to prevent harassment by the paparazzi, Jiang Kan wore a light gray baseball cap and an ordinary medical mask at the same time, so that only his eyes were exposed, sealing more than 50% of his handsome face.
After walking around, I didn't find anyone I knew, and I didn't see any celebrities coming, many people wore hats and masks like him, and I couldn't see much effective information except for the height reminder of body shape.
Jiang Kan didn't continue shopping, but walked to the place where he queued up to enter and began to wait.
Seeing the participants lining up under a large parasol to enter the venue, their faces were either filled with anticipation, or they were so nervous that they kept wiping their sweat, or they were constantly cheering themselves on with the encouragement of their families...... A strange feeling suddenly rose in Jiang Kan's heart: If he hadn't encountered this strange system last year, what would he be doing now?
Will you also participate in this talent show that can make you soar at the instigation of your friends? Maybe they are still living in a depressed way, living a life that they can get by?
Of course, the biggest possibility is that when I stood on the bridge at that time, I was impulsive and ended my short life......
"Hey, it's really a trick......" Sighing a little frightenedly, Jiang Kan's right hand rubbed the heart of his left chest fiercely, getting rid of this sudden strange emotion.
Little by little, the team moved forward, and one by one the players entered the large room in front of them, stayed for a few minutes, and then came out again, with ecstasy or disappointment on their faces, elated or lost.
Looking at their performance, Jiang Kan felt a trance in his heart, as if he had returned to the year of the college entrance examination, and after the first day of mathematics, he looked at the various beings around him: some people waved their fists to celebrate, and some people wept, he still remembered a female student who was squatting in the corner and crying at the staircase on the second floor of the teaching building.
I don't know what the girl's final college entrance examination score was, and whether she went to the university she wanted to go to, twenty years have passed in a flash, and now how is her life?
In a trance, Jiang Kan had unconsciously become the first player in the team.
"Next player, please come in!" There was a shout from the staff in front, Jiang Kan shook his head violently, relieved these faded memories that were about to dissipate from his mind, and strode into this special semi-final assessment room.
