I turned out to be top-notch!

As one of the top satellite TV stations in China, Xiangnan Satellite TV has experienced the most rapid development period in the past two decades, ranking first behind CCTV in ratings all year round.

However, due to various policy restrictions, it has gone through a period of depression, but an emaciated camel is bigger than a horse. In today's era of increasingly rapid cultural trends, domestic TV stations can be said to have a hundred flowers blooming, but Shonan Satellite TV still relies on its strong operational management capabilities and resource coordination capabilities. In this era, together with Zhejiang Satellite TV and Jiangnan Satellite TV, it is collectively known as the three major satellite TVs.

Among them, Jiangnan Satellite TV has not produced a hit program in the past two years, and the gap with the other two satellite TV channels is getting wider and wider.

In the past two years, Zhejiang TV, which owns many popular variety shows and TV series such as "The King of Masked Singer" and "National Heartbeat", and Xiangnan TV can be said to be the two carriages of Chinese channels, each with its own ratings. Director, keep pace with each other.

Therefore, domestic artists are vying to queue up to record many of the variety shows owned by Shonan Satellite TV.

Among them, "I Am a Singer", a large-scale competitive music program that has had a brilliant record after ten years, is an unforgettable existence for many viewers of the Shonan Satellite TV channel.

But no show can always remain at its peak. Therefore, since the seventh season, the ratings of "I Am a Singer" have often dropped to around 2%. By the tenth season, it fell below 2%. After Taiwan The leaders unanimously discussed and finally reluctantly cut their wrists, so "I Am a Singer" announced that it would stop broadcasting after the tenth season and officially stopped.

However, just two years later, the voices of viewers and fans of "I Am a Singer" for the show to be revived have become louder and louder. More and more young people of the new generation want to re-watch the show that they grew up with. Therefore, the program team also relied on the "golden name" of this program to attract title sponsors and a large amount of sponsorship fees.

Of course, this is inseparable from the joining of powerful players.

Especially Zhou Dingran, who just participated in the "King of Masked Singer" on the next station and won eight championships. During the broadcast of the show, the ratings were repeatedly refreshed, and the highest ratings even exceeded 10%. This is fatal to the attraction of many advertising sponsors. .

In order to trigger conflicts and highlights, the program team also invited Huang Boran to join. Of course, in addition to these two popular singers, the addition of five-star singers such as Yan Lei and Chen Ling can also greatly enhance the highlights of the program.

In addition, after media reports, there are internal sources saying that the new season of "I Am a Singer" will have major changes from previous seasons. The program team may introduce an elimination system. Each episode of the program will eliminate one contestant and introduce new contestants.

As long as the on-site score ranks at the bottom, there is a high possibility of being eliminated immediately.

Along with the changes to this competition system, relevant gossips have also been released. For example, Jin Shengmei, who just won the best female singer and most popular female singer on the list this year, may become a "kick-off guest."

Even top singers and popular singers such as Wei Xiao and Pu Lanyu will participate in the recording of the program and go to the program team to compete.

Although this has not yet been confirmed, it has been widely circulated within and outside the industry.

"Jin Shengmei is coming too?"

On the bus to Xiangnan TV Station, Zhou Dingran, who was scrolling through the information stream on his mobile phone screen, suddenly raised his head and asked.

The staff of the Xiangnan TV station who came to connect heard the news and said quickly: "I have heard the news, but I am not sure. The competition system for the kickers will not appear until the second episode of the program. At present, everything is still the same. Confidential status.”

Liu Ruyan also said: "These staff have signed confidentiality contracts. Even if they know, they will not tell you easily. Don't worry too much. With your strength, you will have no problem reaching the twelfth finals."

The staff also smiled and said: "Yes, Sister Yan is absolutely right. We did have a confidentiality agreement, but I really don't know the list of contestants. Otherwise, I would have asked in person. I am sure Let us know as soon as possible."

Zhou Dingran smiled and said no more.

In fact, the reason why he mentioned Jin Shengmei is because Jin Shengmei is very capable and very popular, especially overseas. She is the number one external person in the Chinese music industry. She has eighty-nine fans of the overseas version of Douyin alone. Tens of millions of people.

From Zhou Dingran's point of view, if Jin Shengmei joins "I Am a Singer", then "I Am a Singer" will definitely have a large audience overseas. This is very important. Although "The King of Masked Singer" is popular in China, it is In foreign markets, it is still a niche program. Not many people watch it, and it is limited to Asians. Although the Western world is also very fond of Hua Liu, it is a pursuit of ancient Chinese culture, such as blue and white porcelain, etc. In addition, there are Admiration for China's hard power, but in terms of soft power, although there has been a wave of Chinese style at home and abroad in recent years, its influence is still not great.

And if Chinese culture can be spread through the program "I Am a Singer", Zhou Dingran feels that this may be a career that he can pursue throughout his life.

Of course, all this is just a daydream. Zhou Dingran's road in China has not gone smoothly yet, and he will be bitten by opponents like Tianmang from time to time. Zhou Dingran's journey of spreading Chinese culture has a long way to go.

Soon, when the bus arrived at Xiangnan Satellite TV, Zhou Dingran got off the bus and, together with Liu Ruyan, followed the staff to the studio of the "I Am a Singer" program group.

This trip is to record the first episode of "I Am a Singer", but before recording, there is still a rehearsal.

The rehearsal content is kept confidential throughout, and the contestants rehearse in stages, and the lounges are also separated. They will not meet each other before the official recording of the program begins.

After learning about Zhou Dingran's arrival, Hong Ye, the chief director of "I Am a Singer", personally waited outside the studio. When he saw Zhou Ding, he immediately stepped forward, stretched out his hand and said with a smile: "Welcome, I've finally waited for you."

At the same time, he also said hello to Liu Ruyan.

Zhou Dingran shook hands and asked straight to the point: "Director Hong, can I rehearse now?"

"Yes, of course." Hong Ye was also surprised by Zhou Dingran's direct response, but he did not shirk the blame and immediately asked his subordinates to start preparing for Zhou Dingran's rehearsal. At the same time, he also raised his head and said: "Teacher Zhou, you are sure to sing. That new song? To be honest, your new song is not very suitable for our competitive stage. I even feel that it would be better for you to sing popular songs like "Slaying the Wolf" and "The Past You"..."

"Sure." Zhou Dingran didn't talk nonsense. After attending the rehearsal, he had to find a place to think about the songs to be released for the new album. Time was tight. He would leave Shonan after recording in the evening. He would go to Nortel early tomorrow morning to discuss "Celebrating More Years" with Mr. Chen Daozhou. 》The role of Emperor Qing will be broadcast live that night. The Hanwang brand will release new products at the store on Jinling Road in Donghai the day after tomorrow and needs him as a spokesperson to cut the ribbon on the platform. The day after tomorrow, he will also record the third round of "The Heart of the Nation"...

All in all, a busy batch.

There is not much time to settle down and think about the new album.

So if you have to squeeze in time, even the rest time after rehearsal is enough for Zhou Dingran to pick and choose in the system mall.

It was the first time for Hong Ye to cooperate with Zhou Dingran. He thought that Zhou Dingran had a simple and capable style, so he started the rehearsal with him.

A song that I originally thought would be a very weak song, was sung by Zhou Dingran, and the director team and photographers in the audience were moved and secretly wiped away tears. After the rehearsal of this song, the band teachers All of them were in admiration. "This is the most perfect singing voice I have ever heard!"

"Does the singing ability affect a person's timbre? I used to think that Zhou Dingran's timbre was only average, not superior, but this extremely powerful singing ability immediately broke my guard. It's so infectious that it made me cry!"

"This song reminds me of my first girlfriend in college. Time is not forgiving. It's really sad!"

"I'm very excited. My wife's birthday is next month. I must learn this song and sing it to her in public!"

"We meet each other everywhere in life, but sometimes we turn around and it really lasts a lifetime. From now on, we will never see each other again."

"Is Zhou Dingran great? No, the man who wrote this song is the most powerful!"

"If I can perform with Teacher Zhou every week in the future, that will be a great joy in life!"

After the rehearsal, the band teachers looked at Zhou Dingran with bright eyes, including admiration, excitement and excitement.

After the rehearsal, Zhou Dingran was led by the staff to the backstage lounge.

There were still four hours before the show. During these four hours, Zhou Dingran did not go out and hang out like other contestants. Instead, he locked himself in the lounge, opened his laptop and started preparing songs for the new album.

Liu Ruyan and others knew that Zhou Dingran was doing business, so they left quietly, leaving Zhou Dingran in the lounge.

"The results of the first album were very good. This second album can no longer be stable. It should be a hundred flowers blooming, each with its own characteristics, but there should also be one to three Chinese-style songs as the core."

"Jay Chou's top-notch Chinese-style songs in each album have become his cultural symbols. With the success of his classic Chinese-style songs, every year in the future, the public is not so much looking forward to his new album. , it’s better to say that I’m looking forward to the Chinese-style songs in the new album.”

"In addition to one to three Chinese-style songs, next year's awards ceremony should also include a popular song, so that I won't leave empty-handed. As the so-called "Nocturne" sounds, I will go on stage to receive the award. Maybe "Nocturne" can also become One of the songs in the new album might be as popular as "Blue and White Porcelain"..."

While Zhou Dingran was thinking, he wrote down the names of his favorite songs in his notebook, and then searched for them one by one in the system mall.

Perhaps it was the reason he just had in mind that caused the songs Zhou Dingran searched for to have surprisingly high favorability values.

For example, he searched for the song "Nocturne" before participating in the National Style Cup Creation Competition last year. At that time, the system priced it at 10 million favorability points.

But now the value of this song is approaching 20 million, up to 18 million, almost catching up with "Blue and White Porcelain".

This made Zhou Dingran secretly curse a profiteer!

However, despite the scolding, he still reluctantly bought the song, otherwise he was worried that the price would continue to skyrocket in the future.

After the Spring Festival Gala, Zhou Dingran already had 200 million favorability points in his hands.

Therefore, a song worth 18 million yuan is still within the range of his wallet.

If he had just made his first album last year, he would never have been able to afford this song. After all, the average price of a first album was only about 2 million, and the total value of an album would only be 20 million. , and now, one song is approaching 20 million. To be honest, it is really heartbreaking.

But at that time, he had just spent 100 million favorability points to upgrade his perfect singing skills, and had no money left to buy songs. However, the market demand was very loud, so he rushed to put it on the shelves, grabbing the wool of Adu, Ren Xianqi, Wu Bai and others.

But now he has a lot of money, with 18 million yuan per song, and he can buy it whenever he wants.

"The first album was so successful that it fooled everyone. This second album cost so much and has perfect singing skills. It should be even better!"

Zhou Dingran comforted himself like this, and then bought his favorite songs one after another and stuffed them into the new album for later use.

After he spent two or three hours finalizing the song list for the second album, at six o'clock in the afternoon, Liu Ruyan and others brought back the dinner packed in the cafeteria. Zhou Dingran took a few bites to deal with it. At seven o'clock in the afternoon, The recording of "I Am a Singer" has officially started.

The program team of "I Am a Singer" followed Zhou Dingran's request and invited 500 viewers from all over the country. They also have a name, which is the public review. Everyone has the right to vote for their favorite singer on the spot. .

It is worth mentioning that Xiangnan Satellite TV also invited two notaries from the Xiangnan Notary Office to supervise the scene and conduct voting inspections to ensure its fairness and fairness.

In addition, another major highlight of this season of "I Am a Singer" is that the singers must sing with all the microphones on, and they cannot modify their pitch during the broadcast.

This can be said to be an unprecedented record in the history of music entertainment. Before this, even if the singers were all on the mic, they would also modify the sound during the broadcast to ensure the broadcast effect.

Sometimes, the singer devotes three points to singing, but the post-production technicians can modify the singing to nine points!

It seriously misled many viewers in front of the TV, causing many people to not understand why the audience's voting was so weird. Although the singing was very nice, the audience seemed to be deaf and had no sense of the songs sung by the contestants.

That’s not about singing well, but about cultivating well.

Therefore, in order to put an end to this cancer-like phenomenon, Zhou Dingran made a three-part agreement with the director before participating in the show. Not repairing the sound is the bottom line.

In order to invite Zhou Dingran, the program team readily agreed. In view of this, they had no intention of inviting Xiao Xianrou to the stage. The contestants invited to participate were all heavyweight singers, just to ensure a wonderful presentation on the stage. (End of chapter)
