I turned out to be top-notch!

Chapter 177 "I Remember"

"Director Wang?"

Han Kai was startled. He looked back and saw a commotion at the entrance. Then a middle-aged man in a white shirt came into the studio amidst a group of people holding hands behind his back. It was the Xiangnan Satellite TV Channel. Director Wang Dian.

Wang Dian is about 50 to [-] years old. He is not tall and has a relatively rich appearance, but his appearance is upright. If he puts on an executive jacket, he will definitely be a ministerial boss.

"Director Wang!"

Han Kai quickly stood up to respond and said rather flattered: "Welcome Director Wang to come and inspect the program team of "Chinese Singers and Songwriters"!"

The status of "China New Rap" on Hunan Satellite TV has been declining in the past two years. As a director, Han Kai has naturally been somewhat neglected. After the show was dropped at the end of the year, he didn't know where to go. On weekdays, you don't even see the level of a channel director. , and no one contacted him for work. Apart from receiving program funds on time, he has basically stayed away from the inner circle.

Director Wang's visit today made Han Kai feel uneasy and a little excited at the same time.

Because he was counting on this battle to turn around.

Wang Dian walked closer, took the initiative to shake hands with Han Kai and said, "Director Han, thank you for your hard work. I'm here to check on the recording status of our program."

"No hard work, no hard work, please come here."

Han Kai quickly invited Wang Dian to sit on the director's chair, pointed at the nine camera lenses on the monitor, and personally explained to Wang Dian: "The contestants who came to record today are all relatively young, but like Huang Boran, Zhou Dingran, etc., They are all popular idols that the young generation likes very much. They are very talented. After this program is broadcast, I believe that the ratings of our program group will definitely increase exponentially."

Exponential growth?
Wang Dian couldn't help but laugh. As the leader of the channel, he was well aware of the ratings of each program under the channel.

"Chinese Singer-Songwriter" is a masterpiece left by the former channel director. Wang Dian missed the good work of his old leader, so he did not immediately take the program off the shelves. After struggling for a year, he finally made up his mind to put "Chinese Singer-Songwriter" on the shelves. "Chinese Singers and Songwriters" has been withdrawn and will not be revised.

He came here by chance when he heard his old friend Chen Daozhou mention someone, and this person was about to start filming a fairy tale TV series. The quality of the script was quite good, and it was protected by directors Wang Sheng and Lu Tao. The most important thing is that this TV series also has With Chen Daozhou participating, it can be said to be a highly anticipated work.

Moreover, although filming has not yet started, the production of Fang Mo Ren Film and Television has already been connected with Hunan Satellite TV, so if nothing unexpected happens, there is a high probability that this Xianxia TV series will be broadcast on Hunan Satellite TV in the future.

And Zhou Dingran is the male protagonist of this drama.

Wang Dian did not give in. After taking the initiative to sit down in front of the monitor, he followed Han Kai's instructions and looked at the eight original singer-songwriters who were waiting in the various lounges on the monitor.

When he saw Zhou Dingran, Wang Dian couldn't help but nod secretly. Let's not talk about his acting skills. His appearance alone is indeed full of youthfulness. If he changes his clothes, he might also have a fairy-like temperament.

When he saw Huang Boran, Wang Dian couldn't help but laugh: "This kid is a key artist cultivated by Tianmang. He appeared on "Happy Saturday" some time ago, and the ratings at that time seemed to be about 20% higher than usual. , mainly because his fan audience is relatively young, it is very topical, and it is popular on Weibo and Douyin."

Han Kai said: "That's right, Director Wang, Huang Boran is also the biggest highlight of this episode. With him here, we won't worry about the ratings for this episode."

Wang nodded and said nothing more. He looked at the time and asked, "How long until the second recording?"

Han Kai immediately said: "The contestants have just finished making songs in the recording studio, and the next step is rehearsal. The recording will start in about an hour and a half."

"Okay, let me take care of some things first and come back later."

Wang Dian stood up, suddenly patted Han Kai on the shoulder, and said, "Give Zhou Dingran more shots, and we will have some business cooperation with Zhou Dingran backstage."

Han Kai was stunned, then his face turned red, and he made a big promise: "Don't worry, Director Wang, Zhou Dingran himself is very popular, and the program team has already arranged enough scenes for him. Of course, since you said it, I Will arrange more!”

Wang Dian smiled, turned around and left again with his hands behind his back.

After sending Wang Dian away, Han Kai couldn't help but ask others: "Who knows what the relationship between Zhou Dingran and Director Wang is? Is it worthy of him to do it himself?"

No matter how stupid he is, he can still see that Director Wang is here for Zhou Dingran this time. Fortunately, he just thought that Tianmang was using his connections to favor Huang Boran, but he didn't expect that Zhou Dingran's connections were in place first!

"I do not know either!"

"Maybe the agency behind Zhou Dingran has contact with our Director Wang?"

"As far as traditional brokerage companies are concerned, Tianmang's reputation is greater than that of Zhensega!"

"Didn't Director Wang just say that? Our station will have a lot of cooperation with Zhou Dingran in the future. Is this a good relationship in advance?"

"Director Wang is very optimistic about Zhou Dingran!"

There was a heated discussion among the directors. After Han Kaisi thought about it, he asked the venue manager to make arrangements: "Let me remind the four judges and ask them to take more care of Zhou Dingran."

The steward immediately said: "Understood!"

At this time, the eight contestants began to enter the venue to rehearse one by one according to the order of the draw, which took about ten minutes per person on average.

Even Han Kai lamented that it might be the reason why "Shuang Ran" joined. The quality of the songs produced by the contestants this time was very good, and there was no guarantee that there would be hit songs.

Huang Boran, in particular, gave full play to his expertise. He sang and danced to a song that made people excited even during the rehearsal. The repeated melody was enough to brainwash people. Once he heard it, it was a song that could explode on Douyin. work.

But what surprised Han Kai and others even more was Zhou Dingran's performance.

“It’s actually a folk song!”

"Folk music is an illusion, but the core is still pop style."

"I was confused when I saw it, and I was confused when I heard it. Didn't Zhou Dingran say that this was a song dedicated to my mother? Why do I feel like it's about love?"

"It seems to be telling stories about past and present lives? War? Lovers? And amnesia at the end? It's a bit abstract!"

"What bothers me the most is this kind of pretentious lyrics. It's not simple and straightforward at all. It's hard to understand and makes it a headache to guess!"

"I really didn't understand the first part, but I felt it was okay in the middle part! Even the humming touched my heart."

"It should be said that Zhou Dingran's singing skills are really strong, especially among these young singers, he is simply outstanding!"

"I agree, it's really amazing. Although I couldn't understand it very well, after the whole rehearsal I only remembered Zhou Dingran's humming!"

The staff on site were also whispering among themselves.

And soon, the four hours of creative rehearsal time passed, and the second recording of the program began.

The contestants entered the studio one after another, and everyone's face was a little excited. Even Huang Boran felt excited when he faced the stage he was about to appear on and imagined himself accepting the spotlight.

In comparison, Zhou Dingran's reaction was a bit indifferent.

To be honest, he actually came here to bully the children. With his rank, he could compete with Cao Zhan, Pu Lanyu, Wei Xiao and others without falling behind. Now he comes to PK with a group of kids who have just debuted. If word gets out in the future, I might be sprayed by black fans!

But Zhou Dingran’s desire to sing this song is also true.

After all, Xiangnan Satellite TV is also a satellite TV, and it has a great record in the industry. It is one of the largest platforms. Even if the ratings of "Chinese Singer-Songwriter" are even higher, it will be the big one that many channels look up to when it is released.

But through this platform, Zhou Dingran felt that it was the most important thing to sing this song dedicated to his mother.As for ranking?

Zhou Dingran doesn't care at all now. Even if he ends up in last place, he won't care at all.

Time will reveal all the answers.

The performance order number drawn by Zhou Dingran was 4, and he came on stage fourth. The people in front of him were Huang Jinling and Du Fei, and Du Fei was even drawn to perform first.

Huang Boran ranked fifth behind Zhou Ding then.

Soon, the second recording officially started, and the audience and judges also entered the room one by one.

Host Peng Ran walked onto the stage and immediately started the performance after a brief interaction with the audience, contestants and judges.

"Please invite Du Fei to bring his original song "The Day I Miss You"!"

When it comes to family ties, most men miss their mothers the most, and the lyrics of Du Fei's song "The Day I Miss You" describe the days when a runaway wanderer misses his hometown and his mother in a foreign land.

Du Fei is a very famous singer-songwriter among the younger generation in the music industry, but his singing skills are not very outstanding. As a result, although the lyrics and music are good, the overall singing style is relatively weak. This kind of work is suitable for fans to calm down and listen. , judging from the current competition results, the feedback is not good.

In the end, the four judges scored individually, with a total score of 87.5.

Then another player and Huang Jinling appeared.

Both of them are women and both are paddling singers, but the works they released this time are very unusual. They are all songs about their fathers. Unfortunately, the resonance is not strong. After listening to the audience, they feel like Didn't listen.

The two scored around 80 points

Soon, it was Zhou Dingran's turn to appear.

As soon as the host read Zhou Dingran's name, huge applause and cheers came from the audience. The treatment and effect of the first three contestants were completely different. The first three singers who appeared were all a little bit disgusted. My heart is sour.

Hey, popular singers are so popular!

Zhou Dingran was also startled by the excited screams and shouts of some young people in the audience. To be honest, he has never faced such a face-to-face performance. Usually he performs with a mask. No matter how crazy the fans in the audience are, they still watch. Can't see his expression.

But it's different now. Zhou Dingran is already trying to control his expression, otherwise he won't be able to help but laugh.

If you say you support me, just support me. Why are you crying?

And what you are holding is Huang Boran’s famous brand. Are you crying to the wrong grave?
Zhou Dingran was helpless, raised his head slightly, looked away, and then gestured to the music teacher in the audience to indicate that the accompaniment could begin.

When the faint sound of guitar sounded, all the staff of the director team sat up straight.

At the same time, the four judges also immediately picked up the lyrics sheet in their hands. The reason why they did this was because just now, five-star songwriter Ou Tianming looked at the lyrics and unknowingly shed tears.

When asked, Ou Tianming just wiped his tears and said: "This is a song that transcends the body and can even comprehend the soul. It is a song of great love composed by the intertwining of soul and soul. It is a song A very penetrating song, this song... does not describe a specific person or thing, it has a big theme and a very profound idea!"

"Zhou Dingran is a genius!"

These words were spoken very slowly and firmly, and it was obvious that they were spoken after careful consideration.

Ou Tianming's emotional reaction was so great that the other three judges couldn't help but curiously read the lyrics in advance.

After all, they are professional judges and big names in the music industry. They can vaguely understand the meaning contained in some lyrics. Their scalps feel numb for a moment, and goosebumps rise in every sentence of the lyrics.

At this time, Zhou Dingran also officially started singing this song.

In the sound of music, he raised his head slightly, picked up the microphone, and hummed softly:

"I carry luggage heavier than my body

swim down the nile
After a few bolts of lightning see a bunch of halos

Not sure if it's here…”

After Zhou Dingran sang this verse non-stop, everyone seemed stunned and their eyes widened.

Is this a song for my mother?

Are you sure you're not traveling abroad?
Did you see lightning?

"I saw a few people standing together

They took my luggage with scissors
Wipe my head without a chance to go back..."

When Zhou Dingran sang this, his mind began to flash back to scenes of his predecessor getting along with his mother when he was a child, and he couldn't help but feel filled with emotion.

The relationship between the predecessor and his mother was not harmonious and beautiful. Most of the time, Zhou Dingran, a somewhat vain young man, would avoid his mother in front of his friends who did not understand fashion, only knew how to buy land and sell goods, and was always good at bargaining.

However, when we look sideways at our mother's business attitude, have we ever thought that she was once a girl who longed for the future?

"Until I heard a voice, I was sure it was you

but how do you remember me
I brought news from another world, but how could I tell you?

Destined to meet with amnesia..."

Zhou Dingran's singing echoed in the studio. The voice was faint, as if he was reminiscing with an old friend, but at this moment, it burst out with shocking power, making many viewers and judges present who were looking at the lyrics. His eyes gradually turned red.

"Do you understand?"

"I understand, what about you?"

"I understand it too, so I really want to cry now."

"Is this a word that Zhou Dingran can write? Forget it, it doesn't matter anymore. My nose is so sore. I really can't help it anymore."

"I miss my mother."

"I don't want to cry, but maybe I've been out for too long, and I... maybe I just miss my mother too much. No one can love me like my mother."
