"Hello everyone, my name is Edison Chen, and I am currently studying in the United States.

I'm a fan of Brother Qiming, and I heard that he launched this talent show.

I thought I was good, so I came to this draft. ”

After an advertisement by Chen Qitai, the last contestant, Edison Chen, appeared on the stage.

This guy is worthy of being the first person to sit in the first seat as soon as he comes up, and his aura is very strong, and he introduces himself easily as soon as he comes up.

"You're confident." Several mentors had long seen his self-confidence.

If he wasn't confident, he wouldn't have played and went straight to the first seat.

"As you've seen, there aren't a few places left in the A-level zone at the moment.

So, what song are you going to sing to conquer us? Leslie Cheung asked, pointing to the sign behind the seat representing the remaining seats.

"I'm bringing an English rap, 'Lose Yourself' by Eminem."

Edison Chen on the stage glanced at Chen Qiming and spoke.

"English rap?"

Hearing Edison Chen's words, several people, including Chen Qiming, became interested.

This song is not easy to sing, Eminem, as the new rap king of the United States in the past two years, has always been known for his rap fast mouth.

The same goes for this "Lose Yourself", although it can only be considered a medium fast song in his songs, but it is not easy to sing, can you really handle it? ”

Although Leslie Cheung was a little dissatisfied with Edison Chen's arrogance.

But he is still very optimistic about Edison Chen, so as soon as he opened his mouth, he gave Edison Chen a chance to change his song again.

"I'm confident." Edison Chen looked confident.

Leslie Cheung opened his mouth, but could only say: "Then the stage will be handed over to you." ”

The lights dimmed, Edison Chen walked to the center of the stage, and began to shake his body to the music.

"How? Typhoon is good, right? He wasn't stage frightened at all. ”

Edison Chen hadn't started singing yet, Leslie Cheung only saw his confident typhoon on the stage, and couldn't help but turn sideways and say to Chen Qiming.

"Not bad!" Chen Qiming also agreed.

In later generations, Edison Chen can become a man's dream, in addition to his super good looks, his own charm is also an important factor.

Growing up in the United States, he was exposed to rebellious culture such as gangster rap since he was a child, which naturally brought a kind of unruly ruffian nature to him.

The lethality of this style to women is unparalleled.

In the entertainment industry, this style is also very popular.

When Chen Qiming first debuted, he played countless scenes in this style, which made countless girls deeply fascinated by him.

At this time, Edison Chen's style is very similar to Chen Qiming at the beginning.

No, Edison Chen on the stage just sang the first sentence, and Akina Nakamori couldn't help but look at Chen Qiming.

"Chen Sang, do you feel that he is very similar to you who just debuted."

"It's very similar, this handsome style, I've only seen it in him.

I have to say that although this guy is arrogant and confident, he does have arrogant capital. Leslie Cheung interjected.

At this time, Edison Chen on the stage was already crazy.

The song "Lose Yourself" was directly sung by him, which made the audience can't help but get excited along with the rhythm.

"Listen to it, what kind of song is this?"

"Awesome! Yummy! ”

"Ahhh

Except for the audience.

Everyone on the contestant's seat, looking at Edison Chen, who was cool and explosive on the stage, also looked solemn.

In particular, several who have obtained A-level ratings regard Edison Chen as their biggest opponent.

"Look!!"

"If U had one shot."

"Or one opportunity."

"To seize everything U ever wanted."

"One moment."

"Would you take this opportunity?"

……

Edison Chen sang while walking around the stage, making some gestures that only a rapper can compare with from time to time.

Although rap has become popular in Asia in recent years with the emergence of Chen Qiming.

But after all, the time is still short, so for ordinary audiences, this style of music and singing is still very novel.

Coupled with the slow way of communication now, and the average audience rarely listens to English songs, this "Lose Yourself" is almost equivalent to a new song in the eyes of these audiences.

Why were Hong Kong singers in the 90s called porters by later generations?

A big reason is actually the slow spread of this era, and many foreign classic songs have basically not been heard by ordinary audiences.

After the singers pass the cover, these songs that ordinary audiences have not heard are equivalent to new songs, and they are easy to become popular in places like Hong Kong and Taiwan.

If it is easy to become popular, it is naturally easy to make money.

Record companies are built to make money.

They don't care if the music in your place can develop or not.

What they need is business.

Making money is business.

For the sake of business, the record company naturally spares no effort to collect those famous foreign songs and let the company's singers cover them.

Chen Qiming has a deep understanding of this.

When he first released Japanese and English albums.

Because the songs in it are popular in Japan, Europe and the United States.

Then Chen Qiming had many songs that were not sung in Chinese.

As a result, many record companies came to the door as soon as possible, wanting to buy the Chinese adaptation rights of his songs.

It wasn't until Chen Qiming's repeated refusals that he rarely sold the rights to the adaptation of the songs, and this situation slowly decreased.

In addition, after the mid-90s, as Hong Kong films began to decline, a large number of investors withdrew.

Inevitably, the record industry has also been affected, and China's record and film industry has temporarily moved to the island.

and Chen Qiming often preaches the importance of originality, and has set off a wave of originality among fans with originality.

In addition, several major radio stations in Hong Kong have also begun to support originality.

This is slowly making the trend of adapting foreign songs slowly weaken.

Of course, there is also a certain reason that the Japanese music scene has declined in recent years, and there are no good songs to cover.

As for the English ......

As we all know, Japanese is evolved from Chinese, and the two languages are very similar and more suitable for adaptation.

The grammar of English is very different from Chinese, and it is relatively difficult, so there are fewer singers who adapt English.

Although there have been fewer adaptations in the past two years.

But it doesn't mean that the adaptation can't be popular here.

If the adaptation is good, it is actually easy to become popular.

The world that the average audience in this period was exposed to was still very small.

I still don't know a lot about the songs of the outside world.

Therefore, when Edison Chen sang "Lose Yourself", although the song was in English, the melody of the song was good, and Edison Chen was handsome.

Therefore, the audience was directly conquered by Edison Chen.

Cheers followed.

Chen Qiming even began to hear fans shouting loudly in the audience to give Edison Chen a child.

"Scumbag!"

Glancing at the girl who shouted loudly to give birth to Edison Chen, Chen Qiming couldn't help but curse in his heart.

When he came on stage just now, the female fan was still shouting to give him a child, but as a result, it only took a long time before he actually changed his mind.

"Crackle!"

On stage, Edison Chen's singing has ended.

Leslie Cheung and several other mentors began to applaud Edison Chen's wonderful performance.

Chen Qiming also clapped his hands.

Although jealous this guy robbed his fans.

But one thing is undeniable, that is, Edison Chen sings very well.

His English doesn't have an accent like the singers here in China.

has no accent, coupled with his style is very rapping, which makes Edison Chen's completion of this song very high.

Singing well, that's commendable.

So Chen Qiming did not hesitate to applaud.

"Singing so well, you are the first contestant on this stage today to make me feel that I came to this talent show right."

Leslie Cheung was the first to speak.

It can be seen that he is very satisfied with Edison Chen, and his words are full of praise and praise for him.

"Thank you!" Edison Chen stood in the center of the stage with a ruffian smile.

"As far as I know, the lyrics of this song were written by you, Ming Zai!"

After praising Edison Chen, Leslie Cheung looked at Chen Qiming.

"Yes, Eminem is a singer in my American branch, and he wrote this song, and after I read the song, I helped him change the lyrics." Chen Qiming nodded in response.

"Wow...... Is this song by Ming Tsai? ”

"No wonder it's so good, it turned out to be Ming Zai's song, so it's not strange."

"However, Ming Zai's starting point record actually opened to the United States, which is too powerful."

"You frog at the bottom of the well, what do you know, Ming Tsai is a mess in the United States.

Haven't you heard foreigners say that he is the only singer who can compare to Michael Jackson at the moment?

He's so fierce that it's strange to drive a record company to the United States. ”

"That is, the eldest cousin of my aunt's third son is in the United States, and when they came back to visit relatives, they said that Ming Tsai is very popular in the United States.

It is said that even the great president of the United States mentioned him at a press conference. ”

After knowing that Chen Qiming participated in the creation of this song, some of the audience showed surprised expressions.

They could hear from Leslie Cheung's words that this song was very popular in foreign countries, but they didn't expect Chen Qiming to participate in the creation.

In fact, this is caused by the inconvenience of information dissemination.

Almost most of the fans and viewers in China have seen the news and know that Chen Qiming is an international superstar who is very popular all over the world.

However, those who have not seen it in person can basically only know this through the news.

I haven't seen it in person, so naturally I don't know much about how popular Chen Qiming is.

Now, through Leslie Cheung's words and knowing that the songs of singers who are very popular in the United States have Chen Qiming's participation in the creation, they generally have some understanding of Chen Qiming's popularity.

Then, then, the people rose together in honor and disgrace.

"Edison Chen is good, very Mingzai's demeanor."

"Have you noticed that Edison Chen is similar to Ming Zai!"

"Yes, when you say that, I also found out, they are also handsome guys."

", I said it looks like it."

"It's a bit similar, but it's not the looks, it's the style, and they're both handsome."

"But they all have the surname Chen! Do you think they will be relatives? ”

"Big guy, why are you pulling on your relatives again.

A few days ago, you said that Chen Qitai was Ming Zai's brother, and in less than a few days, you added relatives to Ming Tsai indiscriminately.

If Ming Tsai knew that you were going to give him relatives everywhere, he would probably be angry. ”

The audience is talking about Chen Qiming and Edison Chen.

I have to say that Edison Chen's singing was successful.

He managed to arouse the interest of the live audience.

Not only the live audience, if nothing else, after the premiere of "Times Idol" on ATV, he may also attract a large number of TV viewers to become his fans.

That's the draft.

As long as there is strength and the program team is not targeted, it is easy to attract the attention of the audience.

The reason why star-making programs such as happy girls, happy men, idol trainees and so on in later generations can quickly launch singers who are popular all over the country is that this kind of stage shows the singers in an all-round way, and it is easy for the audience to substitute for them and become fans of singers.

There is no doubt that Edison Chen conquered Chen Qiming and other judges with his outstanding performance and won four A's.

He's also the first all-A guy to date.

Because several other A-class players all got three A's.

The first quadruple A player, which allowed Edison Chen to sit in the first seat without dispute.

And the show is here, and the first episode of the program has also been announced.

After that, the next issue will officially start the promotion round, one hundred into fifty.

The next episode will start tomorrow.

It lasts for four days.

At the end of the program, all the students stood on the stage and began to sing the theme song of "Idol of the Times" "Dream Chasing Pure Heart".

Well, I didn't say it, this song was taken out by Chen Qiming.

Since you want to do a talent variety show, you must have a theme song.

"Dream Chasing" is obviously very suitable for this show.

Because tomorrow, the program team will hand over "Dream Chasing Pure Heart" to major radio stations to start promoting.

So after the students sang this song on the stage, they immediately followed the staff of the program team to the recording studio.

They'll record the song tonight.

As for the MV, the program team began to shoot for everyone as early as the day the contestants came to ATV.

Of course, the shooting at that time was a hundred people, and the shots were about the same.

But after today's show, the MV editing has roughly a standard.

That is, the MV shots are mostly from these people with higher ratings.

Although there may be a dark horse outbreak in the future, from the D or C rank to the final group.

But this is unlikely to be the case.

Whether a person can do it or not, the first episode of the recording was roughly counted by the mentors and judges.

Maybe no one predicts the final champion, runner-up and third place.

But the people who formed the group were probably those, including Chen Qiming and others, who already knew it.

"Would you like to go for a drink together?"

After the recording, Leslie Cheung began to invite Chen Qiming and the other three.

"It's my first time in Hong Kong, and I'm going to go shopping, so I'm sorry Mr. Zhang."

Shin Seung-hoon refused.

Leslie Cheung looked at Akina Nakamori again.

"My agent picked me up for an event, I'm really sorry."

Akina Nakamori smiled apologetically.

"None of them are going, so let's go!"

Chen Qiming was originally in trouble, but after thinking about it, he decided to accompany Leslie Cheung to have a drink.

Leslie Cheung has been very difficult lately.

He announced his boyfriend to the public, and he was tortured by the media.

On the surface, it looked as if he had nothing to do.

But the careful Chen Qiming rest assured that under his bright smile, he was very tired in his heart.

He was going to comfort him.
