Chapter 119: Here comes the kicker (Part 2)(1/2)
Xiangnan TV has become a landmark building. Although this is related to its large area and its beautiful and atmospheric architectural shape, it is more because of its reputation.
Several tall buildings stand in the middle, with the surrounding buildings slightly shorter but also in the same shape and style, complementing the main building to form a complex.
There were crowds coming and going under several buildings, and I was afraid that there were many programs in it being filmed or about to be filmed.
As the year approaches, celebrities are even more busy. As celebrity artists come in and out, fans shout in groups, everywhere. Then I don’t know who said that XXX appeared in Building 2, so a group of fans who had just screamed and sent their idols into the building ran over to see another famous variety show host. They caught an artist they knew and screamed again.
Drivers from all walks of life at the entrance of the train station, airport, and bus stations, whenever they see people with a foreign accent saying they want to go to [Xiangnan TV], they will use it as usual to say that this is the standard price, and that all cars will go there. When the passengers get on the bus, the drivers will smile and use [Go to see the stars?] to open the topic and start chatting with the passengers.
Some tourists mainly come to travel, and go to Xiangnan TV station to meet a star by the way. Some tourists are very proud, saying that they are the public judges of "Singer". Then they say that they are so difficult to overcome the five levels and six generals, they call again, fill out investigation reports, and only after layers of screening were screened, they only obtained this place. When asked, they were students of the Magic City Conservatory of Music.
When Han Jue and his friends arrived at Xiangnan TV, it was almost noon. At this time, the public judges (audiences) from all over the country had not arrived yet, because the official recording time of the program was in the evening, and it was still a while before the beginning.
Before the recording begins, the singers have to go to the studio for secret rehearsals, and they have to work with the bands hired by the program team with high salaries. Each person is about one hour, and the time is strictly controlled. The seven singers and one singer who plays the hall will be rehearsed until the evening after rehearsing, and then they have to start the official recording without stopping. After the recording is finished, they cannot leave. They have to wait for the number of votes to be counted and interviewed. Then they announced that the results came out of the TV station and the sky was already dark black.
The show will be two hours, but the behind-the-scenes recording will be far more than two hours.
It took a long time, so the guests worked very hard.
But enduring this kind of hard work is part of the artist's profession. Having a program list means that it has not been forgotten by the market, and no matter how hard it is, no one will complain.
After Han Jue heard that the whole show would be recorded for about twelve hours, he complained in his heart, worried that his body would not be able to bear it.
But I am also glad that he is not the protagonist, and maybe he can take a nap while the camera is not paying attention, eat on time, and have a good luck.
Originally, they didn't have to arrive at the recording site so early, but the program team said that there is a privilege for singers to play the show, that is, they can pretend to enter the venue and watch secretly when other singers rehearsals.
So, Zhang Yiman and the others had to be the first to be rehearsal. After the rehearsal, they had to spy on the enemy's situation.
When the car arrived at Xiangnan TV, Han Jue breathed a sigh of relief.
He found that he really embarrassed the artist, and it was a very correct decision not to continue to be an artist.
When Han Jue was in the car, he finished speaking the advertising slogans very hard according to the script, but the calm voice of the director came from the headset on the ear:
[Teacher Han, such advertising slogans cannot be placed on TV. Let's do it again.]
After Han Jue tried several times, he obviously felt that the car speed slowed down, indicating that the program team distrusts his business ability. So Han Jue was very resentful and began to miss the good things about Director Wang in "Let's Fall in Love".
Fortunately, in the end, Zhang Yiman saw that Han Jue was like being kept by the class teacher to memorize the text. She looked very painful. She was kind-hearted and looked surprised and recited Han Jue's script without breathing:
"Uncle! Is this phone in your hand the latest released full-screen Balabala... phone?!"
【Bad acting, poor lines, exaggeration!】
However, when Han Jue heard the headset say [after], he looked at Zhang Yiman expressionlessly.
From here on, the rhythm afterwards was different from what Han Jue imagined.
Although Zhang Yiman didn't seem nervous, he looked a little eager to try, but he was worried that he would hurt Han Jue's heart if he didn't make it to the top four without singing this song.
So he started to analyze his own strength and didn't need Han Jue to be the supporting actor.
The song list was posted on the phone later. Han Jue didn't know what the songs on the song list looked like. It all depends on Zhang Yiman holding the phone and marveling at the difficulty coefficient of the songs one by one, then introduced the songs to the camera, and then looked forward to the presentation of these songs on the scene, and he was very happy to guess.
Han Jue acted as a mascot all the way next to him. He hugged his hands, his face was expressionless, nodded from time to time, and responded.
If the audience came in halfway through, they thought it would be Han Jue who would be participating in the competition in a while, and Zhang Yiman was his singer agent.
The director saw that the effect was good, so he almost didn't do it again.
When he saw Xiangnan TV from afar, Han Jue was still a little moved when he looked at the completely unfamiliar building.
When you get close to this behemoth, you can feel the weight of this world [Xiangnan TV] even more.
After getting off the bus, there were people from the "Singer" program team waiting for the filming.
Zhang Yiman jumped in front, with an unconcealed excitement on his face. He was not as nervous as a singer in the past, nor as frightened as a contestant who was not famous, and as modest as a respectful and modest.
One of the corridors is very famous, with posters of all the contestants of "Singer" from the past ten seasons. The posters are very gorgeous, and they are captured and made into posters when the singers sing emotionally on the stage.
Zhang Yiman stroked the wall with his fingers, walked step by step in the corridor, and his fingers slid over.
Watch and touch.
He raised his little face, his eyes shining brightly, full of light.
He didn't know the people on Han Jue's wall, so he slowly walked behind Zhang Yiman, without urging him, and smiled, keeping looking at Zhang Yiman, who was more attractive than all the posters.
Zhang Yiman was smiling unconsciously on her face at this time, looking at the posters with interest, like a child seeing the toy he was interested in.
Her speaking eyes seemed to have a lot to say at this time. In the eyes of the cameramen, Zhang Yiman looked up at the posters, and the girl looked innocent and longing, and the picture was very beautiful.
But Han Jue felt that her eyes didn't mean [I can do this at any time!]
Instead, it is saying:
【I'll do it right away.】
Although the tiger and leopard horses have not been written, they already have the energy of eating cows.
...
"Teacher Song, we ranked sixth last time, and we were not very good. We were almost eliminated. This time someone came to play the club. As long as the opponent did not enter the top four, we would be safe. If the opponent entered the top four, the singer ranked last will leave. Should we use our ultimate move?"
"Not to say, maybe I'm going home this time," Song Yin said very honestly, not making trouble. After jokingly admitting his conscience, he smiled silly, "Anyway, just sing a few songs if you can."
Folk singers are always unable to withstand the explosive power of pop or rock singers on the competitive stage.
It has nothing to do with the masses' high notes aesthetics, but only with the audience's deep impression of the singer.
Each public judge can only vote for three singers, so it is most important to leave an impression on the audience.
It is an indisputable fact that folk song skills are weaker than other types of singers. To play games, you can only win by being sincere and sincere. But over time, the audience will get tired of it, and it is indeed not as good as those that are popular with them.
Song Yin was in the attitude of being able to sing a few songs, and it was good to promote folk songs.
There are many singers on the stage of "Singer", and there are many Song Yin, who are less than him. Although it is indeed a bit embarrassing to say a round of lobbying, as long as you show up on "Singer", the appearance fee will be ten times or twenty times. How many people want to have a shameless face and have no chance to go on the round of lobbying.
Song Yin did not have a round of tours at least, and he was able to sing later, so he felt very relaxed.
"Teacher Song! We can't be ambitious and destroy our own dignity!" Song Yin's singer agent is Ding Yi. He is a young man. It is the first time he has appeared on such a platform. He is very eager to show his appearance in front of the camera. "I heard that the singer who played this time is not famous, but his strength is strong. Should we wait and see the enemy situation and join forces with other singers to come up with a battle plan?"
"Hey~ I'm a guest from afar, so the smell of gunpowder should not be that heavy." Song Yin waved his hand, too lazy to act.
After that, the singer's agent analyzed the situation on his own.
"Ding~"
Received a message.
"Hey, news is coming." Ding Yi looked surprised at the camera.
"The following is the competition playlist for the contestants in this round..." I read it word by word and was even more surprised.
"Come on, let's use this pipo full screen and take photos with super perfect Balabala... to see what songs you will sing in this competition." Song Yin's singer agent introduced a long list of selling points on the phone in a very advertising tone, and then introduced Song Yin the song list reported by the singer this time.
Song Yin drooped his eyelids while watching Ding Yi perform silently.
Ding Yi knew that he was a singer's agent and not the host of "Singer". After reading it in front of the camera, he opened the picture in the message and handed it to Song Yin.
Song Yin looked over one by one. When he saw the classic song, he admired the bravery of the singer who chose this song. When he saw a slightly niche but not popular song, he praised his taste and would hum a few words when he was happy when he saw the hunt.
"Teacher Song, are you still interested in jazz?" Ding Yi's eyes lit up.
"It's okay, it's okay." Song Yin stopped humming.
Song Yin has heard most of these songs on the song list until he saw the title of the last song.
""Bloody Love Story"?" Ding Yi also saw it, so he took a breath of air and made an expression of "I actually chose this song".
Seeing that Ding Yi reacted so much, Song Yin asked curiously: "Why, have you heard of it?"
"Ah... no, I was just scared by the name of the song. It was so powerful that I saw it." After the singer's agent said that, he laughed so happily. He felt that he had provided a funny point, which was quite good.
Song Yin's face was calm like an angel. He looked at Ding Yi and entertained himself. After watching for a while, he felt that this was not good, so he smiled very perfunctorily.
There are countless new songs in the Chinese music scene every day, and Song Yin thought it was a song with little fame or relatively newness.
[But this name is indeed quite curious.] Song Yin thought to himself.
Not only Song Yin thinks so, but other singers also think so.
As a result, some people took out their mobile phones to check and wanted to listen, but they couldn't find it no matter how hard they searched, so they gave up.
Some singers were revealed by their agents in the morning that it was very likely that Zhang Yiman was the one who played the club. Now that I guess that this song that I couldn't find was probably Zhang Yiman's new song, I felt even more distracted.
They were a little dissatisfied, thinking that Zhang Yiman was young and had appeared on "Singer" in less than half a year since his debut, which seemed to have dropped a lot in their value this season.
After they debuted, they experienced so many hardships and hardships to achieve today. Nowadays, the debut of the singer is the end of others.
When these singers arrived at Xiangnan TV one by one, they started rehearsals.
During rehearsals, there are always people sitting in the audience to watch, and the singers on the stage are used to it. Because the audience is sometimes the leaders of the TV station, and sometimes the artists or staff of other program teams. Singers can’t control these people, they can only let them go and rehearse by themselves.
The rehearsal scene was also dark, so the singers didn't see two mysterious people watching their rehearsals in the corner.
After the rehearsal, the singers will go to their lounge to rest, regain their energy, and prepare for the subsequent recording.
Time passed, and when everyone was rehearsed, they were gathered together and they were about to start the lottery in order of performances.
As usual, this process involves talking about a lot of advertising slogans, which is very cumbersome.
Because the last order of appearance is unstoppable, belongs to the singer who plays a club, Zhang Yiman does not need to participate in the test of luck.
