I turned out to be top-notch!

Chapter 271 A song that soars into the sky

In the third round of performances, the mentors did not play a big role. They sat at the judging panel and had the right to evaluate but not vote.

The right to vote lies in the hands of the thousands of spectators present.

It wasn't until he stood on this stage that Zhou Dingran understood the competition rules of this third round of performances. He and the other four instructors were a mascot. He only had to sit in the instructor's seat and wait for the thirty-six members of the six teams to perform. After the end, the team is evaluated, but there are not many shots other than that.

After all, it is the later stage of the program, and the instructors' camera and voice are weakened to the greatest extent, while the contestants' camera share is also increased.

What surprised Zhou Dingran was that the third round of performances was somewhat different from the first two rounds. For example, the six teams would invite six popular top idol artists to come and support them. Among them, Zhou Dingran saw his former teammate Wang Xinyi.

But today is different from the past. Wang Xinyi is now just a guest, while Zhou Dingran is already a mentor.

When Zhou Dingran, the long-lost mentor, appeared on the stage, thousands of audience members cheered and screamed enthusiastically.

"Ah! It's Zhou Dingran, Zhou Dingran didn't ask for leave!"

"Zhou Dingran is here, Zhou Ding is here!"

"I follow this show because of Zhou Dingran, I miss you so much!"

Wu Xuefei took a breath, "Hey, dear, you're awesome. I heard that Teacher Yan Lei participated in the latest season of "Singer"."

Zhou Dingran admitted generously.

"I was absent from the second round of performances. Although I understand, I still complain!"

However, Zhou Dingran did not perform this time. He only showed his face on the stage, smiled at the audience and waved before heading to the instructor's seat.

And Zhou Dingran actually won first place in the same competition show.

Nearly half of the audience at the scene shouted the name "Zhou Dingran" in unison, which shows Zhou Dingran's importance in the hearts of the audience.

Then where does Teacher Yan Lei’s face go?

In the show "The King of Masked Singer", all three of them were defeated by "Fat-Headed Fish", but at that time, the "Fat-Headed Fish" they imagined was a senior figure in the industry. Although they were eliminated, they were still convinced. Taken orally.

"Well, I'm just lucky." Zhou Dingran said with a smile.

The same was true for the other instructors. After they were all seated at the instructor's table, Wei Xiaocai smiled and said, "I thought you were going to ask for leave again today."

Several people laughed, but Pu Lanyu suddenly asked: "I heard that you won first place in the latest season of "Singer"?"

Several instructors had different expressions. Everyone had definitely heard of Yan Lei, and even admired him a little. After all, this boss was not only a professor of the vocal music department of the Peking Conservatory of Music, but also the vice chairman of the Music Association. He was highly respected.

No one has had much contact with Yan Lei, and they don't know much about Yan Lei as a person. However, if you think about it from his perspective, it would be quite uncomfortable to be surpassed by a young man in his twenties.

Of course, if the fat-headed fish hadn't revealed his face and his true appearance later, they wouldn't have been miserable for a long time.

As soon as these words came out, everyone else looked at Zhou Dingran.

Wu Xuefei joked: "It's Lao Zhou. If it were someone else, it would be weird if Director Zuo didn't just scold him!"

Wei Xiao, Wu Xuefei, and Pu Lanyu have the most say in this regard, because they were all defeated by Zhou Dingran.

"That's what happened."

Zhou Dingran was ashamed: "I didn't make good arrangements for the itinerary, blame me."

Zhou Dingran raised his eyebrows. He was not surprised how Pu Lanyu knew the news. Although the guests and staff of the program had signed confidentiality agreements, there was no airtight wall in the world, not to mention that Pu Lanyu was a top singer in the world. As a singer, he is not short of connections and reputation, so it is not uncommon to get some gossip.

Cao Zhan and Pu Lanyu also joked a little with Zhou Dingran.

They are all top singers who have been famous for a long time. Who wants to lose to a twenty-year-old junior?

That’s too shameless!

Now that they heard that Teacher Yan Lei seemed to have lost to Zhou Dingran, the three of them suddenly felt comfortable.

A senior like Yan Lei was defeated, so it is not unreasonable that they lost to Zhou Dingran.

At this time, on the stage, six teams began their third round of performances.

Each team has invited the most representative actors or singers in the current film, television, and music industries to support the team. Of course, in terms of popularity, all of them combined cannot match Zhou Dingran alone.

And the professional level is not comparable. The only thing worth mentioning is that the six supporting guests must have good looks and good figures.

now it's right.

Although "National Heartbeat" is a girl group talent show, men only accounted for less than 30% of the invited audience, and the remaining 70% were all women.

Female viewers seem to prefer watching this kind of show.

Therefore, all the supporting guests are handsome men in the eyes of the female audience.

Now that the program has developed to this stage, it is actually possible to determine the members of the group. As long as the audience is somewhat sensitive to data, or has watched this show for a long time, they can basically guess the number of members in the group, and the eleven debut spots, that is Three or four swing positions are open to discussion.

And these three or four places are destined to be snatched up by various capitals.

After more than four arduous hours, the third round of performances finally came to an end.

After each team performs, the members will be voted for by the audience. The player with the highest number of likes will be promoted successfully. Then, and so on, the players who fail to meet the like requirements will be directly eliminated and leave the scene.

The competition system is simple and cruel.

In the performance of the six teams just now, from Zhou Dingran's perspective, Hong Shaorong, Lu Qing, Zhang Wei, Chu Xiaoxiao and others should be the most popular players among the audience at the moment because of their huge popularity support. Promotion is a sure thing.

As for the others, it’s a bit mysterious.

The next recording will be the finals in two weeks. Twenty-two people have advanced to half of the group, forming a group of eleven people. There are two more than the Miracle Boys of "National Idol", but in terms of program format, popularity and topics In terms of popularity, "National Heartbeat" is undoubtedly much higher than "National Idol".

That night, Zhou Dingran stayed at the Shencheng Hotel. Out of sympathy, he agreed to Zuo Qiuliang to write a debut piece for the members of the girl group who finally debuted in "The Heart of the Nation".

The song is "Calories." After Zhou Dingran exported the song, he sent it directly to the mailbox of music director Lin Cheng.

He didn’t want to make too many suggestions for this song, so apart from the lyrics and music, he didn’t have a single superfluous word or suggestion in the email.

After sending the email, he originally wanted to go to bed early. Tomorrow morning he would go to Jinling Road, Donghai City to attend the new Hanwang sneaker launch conference and hold a ribbon-cutting event. However, just after washing up, he saw a message on his mobile phone via WeChat: "Teacher Zhou, please sleep." Yet?"

The message was from Chen Ling.

After being eliminated from the first episode of "Singer", Chen Ling didn't send this message until a day later. Zhou Dingran still admired the teacher's determination.

However, he remembered his promise to help Chen Ling contact Wen Chao Gong to write a song, so he immediately sent a message to Chen Ling: "I have already communicated with Teacher Wen Chao Gong, and there will be news in the next two days. Don't worry, Teacher Wen Chao Gong." I still think highly of you."

Soon Chen Ling sent a voice message, his words were excited and incoherent, full of gratitude to Zhou Dingran and respect for Teacher Wenzhao Gong.

Zhou Dingran didn't reply, put down his phone, and fell asleep.

the other side.

Lin Cheng received an email from Zhou Dingran as soon as he finished work. Although he was a little surprised, when he saw the lyrics and music of the song "Calories", he was also very energetic. He immediately ran to the special recording studio of the program team and began to study it. The song "Calories", while arranging the song "Calories".

Time is running out, because there are only two weeks left for the finals of "National Heartbeat". The twenty-two contestants who have advanced must learn to sing and dance the song "Calories" within two weeks. Before that, the dance teacher They also had to choreograph the song, so the girls didn't have much time to practice.

Zuo Qiuliang also meant the same thing. As soon as he received the debut song from Wenzong, he would immediately compose it, then choreograph it, and then use the fastest time to let the students master the singing and dancing of the song.

However, when Lin Cheng completed the arrangement of "Calories" and handed the song to Zuo Qiuliang the next day, Zuo Qiuliang took one look at it and was still a little nervous: "What are these words?" ? Are you sure it’s the work of Mr. Wenzhao Gong?”

"OK." Lin Cheng said solemnly.

Because judging from his arrangement level, this song "Calorie" doesn't look like a song that can explode.

"I studied it carefully and found that the word 'calorie' sounds very magical when pronounced, full of a sense of jumping."

Lin Cheng carefully considered the language and said: "The content of the entire lyrics is the state of 'I want to eat again, but I still work hard'. This is a common psychological mapping that every person who loses weight will have. If you can sing it well, Well, if the marketing is in place, it might really become popular.”

"Can it be hot?"

Zuo Qiu Liang remained skeptical. He looked at the lyrics. Apart from anything else, the lyrics were arranged much more tightly than ordinary songs. Just reciting them silently was enough to make Zuo Qiu Liang breathless. He felt like he was out of breath. Feeling angry, "Huh? This is very consistent with weight loss... However, the girl group members who came out of our show mainly focus on a 'heartbeat'. Using this weight loss song as the debut song is a bit too unsuitable for a girl group." It’s temperamental.”

Lin Cheng said firmly, "The product produced by Wenzhao Gong must be a high-quality product!"

Zuo Qiuliang retorted: "Ke Wenzhao Gong also wrote some less excellent songs, such as "Under the Moon"."

Lin Cheng explained: "Actually, the song "Under the Moon" is quite popular, and the singer Su Ke became famous with this song."

"Without Wenzhao Gong, who would listen to "Under the Moon"?"

"What should we do? Don't we need it?"

Lin Cheng heard this and said with a smile: "Yes, of course you have to use it. This is Wen Chao Gong's work. This label alone is enough to make this song popular and popular, but it is obvious that this song is not for Wen Chao Gong to measure the hearts of girls." It’s a custom-made song, but it feels like it’s just a casual song... So can you please ask Zhou Dingran again and let Wenzhao Gong write another song? A debut song specially created for the heart-throb girls."

"Director Zuo, you are making things difficult for me."

"Try your best!"

Zuo Qiuliang patted Lin Cheng's shoulder, looked at the dark circles under his eyes, and said comfortingly: "I give you the greatest right to convince Zhou Dingran. Again, the price is not an issue. As long as the copyist is willing to write, I can write any song." want."

Lin Cheng had no choice but to finally make a tentative call to Zhou Dingran and explain in detail what Zuo Qiuliang had asked him to do.

"Unsuitable?" Zhou Dingran was a little surprised. In his opinion, Wen Chao Gong was already a golden signature in the music world. As long as it was Wen Chao Gong's work, no matter how inappropriate it was, it would still be the most suitable.

Lin Cheng smiled bitterly and said: "Director Zuo wants to create a girl who is excited, not a girl who loses weight. This song can be included in the girls' debut album, but it may not be used as a debut song..."

Zhou Dingran also thought about it. The lyrics of the song "Calories" are indeed not suitable as a debut song. In fact, the song Rocket Girls sang on the day they formed the group was "Rocket Girls", which is translated as "Rocket Girls" in Chinese.

But it is obvious that "National Heartbeat" does not intend to use "Rocket" as the name of the debut girl group.

"What is the name of the debut girl group?" Zhou Dingran asked his question.

Lin Cheng did not hesitate and said bluntly: "Heart-loving girl."

"Very good, straightforward enough."

Zhou Dingran clicked his tongue. The girl group that came out of "People's Heartbeat" is called Heartbeat Girls, which is very consistent with procedural justice.

He thought for a while and said, "I will help you convey the needs of the program team to Wenzhao Gong, but whether it can be successful depends on whether Wenzhao Gong himself is willing to help."

"Okay, okay, thank you so much, Lao Zhou, I will definitely ask Director Zuo to treat you to a good massage alone later."

Lin Cheng thanked him repeatedly.

At this time, Zhou Dingran was on the high-speed train heading to the East China Sea. He was going to participate in a brand endorsement event. But before Lin Cheng called, he was picking through the system mall to choose a song for Chen Ling that could become a masterpiece. .

Chen Ling is very similar to Zhou Dingran. The voice characteristics are not distinctive, but at least he has master-level singing skills, a broad vocal range and rich emotions, which allows Chen Ling to handle most difficult songs.

However, his singing skills are great, but his luck is not that good. After nearly ten years since his debut, he has not had one representative work of his own.

This is a typical example of accumulation and accumulation. As long as there is a suitable song, Chen Ling can soar into the sky. It is not impossible to become a singer like Jin Shengmei.

The songs that can make Chen Ling soar to the sky are not songs that can only be sung by people like Faye Wong and Stefanie Sun who have a large number of loyal fans, but songs that even ordinary people can challenge as long as their singing skills are better.

The most important thing is to make it very easy to spread and conform to the characteristics of the times.

Zhou Dingran rummaged through the song library and finally settled on a slow song and a love song. Although the description in the lyrics of this song was full of love, the music was filled with regret.
