I turned out to be top-notch!

Chapter 273 Finals

In addition to preparing the new album, Zhou Dingran also prepared the remaining six songs in the contract for Fanghua Entertainment during this trip.

They are "Walking on the Road of Life", "Uninhabited Island", "That Girl Said to Me", "Seeking Buddha", "Fairy Tale Town" and "Anhe Bridge".

These six songs are all classics. They are basically songs of the era that were very popular in previous lives.

It is said that if you don’t want to give up your children, you can’t trap a wolf. If you want to increase the market value of Youth Entertainment, you must make sacrifices. Furthermore, the asking price of these songs in the system mall is not high, and the highest song does not exceed 3 million. Take advantage of the execution When it came time to sign the contract, Zhou Dingran released these songs and handed them over to Fanghua Entertainment.

At the same time, Zhou Dingran from "National Heartbeat" also re-sent a debut song called "The World Reunion Again".

This is the first debut single of the first-generation Korean girl group Girls' Generation in the previous life. It became famous all over Asia as soon as it was released. However, it is different from the sexy and provocative pop songs of the previous Korean group. This song "The World Reunion" There are no sexual implications, just pure girlish energy.

The song will not be defined as any one style, but will tell everyone: This is us, we are a group of girls who want to cross the thorns, go through the darkness, and pursue the glimmer of light.

But if I really want to describe the style of the song, it would be courage, pure, indomitable courage.

And it tells the story of a girl's determination completely from a girl's perspective, a completely girl's perspective.

It only took Zhou Dingran a day and a half to produce these three Chinese-style songs.

"The second reason is that the contestants who were previously agreed to compete in the second period suddenly changed their minds and were unable to participate due to personal reasons. Although the program team had a preliminary plan, after comprehensive consideration, they decided to postpone the recording to next week."

Zhou Dingran received an explanation and became a little interested in the identity of the player who changed his mind temporarily. After all, this kind of behavior is a bit bad. If there is no special reason, he may be banned by the industry, but Zhou Dingran does not take it too seriously. I have just finished making a new album, and the situation is not quite right. I need to rest for a few more days. The recording of "I Am a Singer" can be postponed to next week, and Zhou Dingran did not complain.

"After the finals of the talent show on the next station, "I Am a Singer" will be launched as soon as possible."

No matter how confident Hong Ye is, he would not dare to challenge him in front of such a popular show.

Therefore, with the help of two arrangers, the arrangement of all the songs for the second album took less than three days to complete.

Although the program team was surprised, after listening to the arrangement of the entire song, they were inexplicably excited, because this is the song they wanted, at least in terms of melody, it is much more advanced than "Calories".

Even so, it took Zhou Dingran a whole day to record just one song, "Nocturne".

Although there are only eleven debut spots, every student has practiced singing and dancing to this song. After all, when the group is finally formed, the girls who debut as a group will perform the debut song on stage for the audience.

The melody and lyrics of "Qili Xiang" are very simple compared to other songs, but it is not easy to sing this song well. However, Zhou Dingran has perfect singing skills and has "lessons to learn from", so he recorded this song The song only took half an hour.

Hong Ye knew everything he knew without saying anything.

Zhou Dingran was still very surprised and asked director Hong Ye the reason.

It can be said that this is the most popular variety show this year.

Then there are the Chinese style songs "Hair Like Snow", "Chrysanthemum Terrace" and "Fireworks Easily Cold". The arrangement of these three songs is not simple, and they are also the songs that require the most energy from the arranger, and the singing is also So, but again, there is Jay Chou's version that we can learn from. Although it is a bit difficult, it is not difficult for Zhou Dingran at all.

Zhou Dingran discovered this shortcoming when he was making his first album. At that time, he specifically asked Liu Ruyan to help pay attention to the arrangers on the market. Liu Ruyan lived up to his trust and quickly found two arrangers after the year. An experienced arranger joined Fanghua Entertainment.

Three days later, Zhou Dingran started recording from the simplest song, namely "Qili Xiang".

The program team immediately presented the entire song to Cao Zhan and asked Cao Zhan to be the lyricist of the song. Cao Zhan did not refuse. He liked the arrangement melody of the song "The World Reunion Again" very much. After a day of research, After writing the lyrics, the complete version of "The World Reunion" was released and then handed over to the twenty-two girls who entered the finals.

Zhou Dingran also sent the lyrics and music of "Happy Worship" to Wu Xuefei in advance, so that Wu Xuefei could practice the chorus lyrics and harmony parts first.

During this period, the "I Am a Singer" program team also informed Zhou Dingran by phone that due to changes in plans, the recording of the second "I Am a Singer" program will be postponed to next week.

As for the next two songs that required rapping, "Nocturne" and "Happy Worship," Zhou Dingran didn't record them so quickly.

Next, "Fairy Tale", "Wishfulfilment", "A Mountain Journey", "Looking Back Again", etc. were all completed by Zhou Dingran in one to two hours.

The same challenge also happened to Zhou Dingran.

Although there are ready-made lyrics and music, they need to be successfully arranged to be turned into a song.

The last song, "Happy Worship", required male and female singers to sing duet. Zhou Dingran chose the nearest one. Before going to Fanghua Entertainment Circle, he made an agreement with his mentor Wu Xuefei during the third round of performance of "The Heart of the Nation" that the two would collaborate to complete this song. Song.

So Zhou Dingran stayed one more day, and on the next night, he went to the Donghai Stadium to participate in the "National Heartbeat" finals.

Fortunately, Zhou Dingran is familiar with most of the songs in the new album and can pick them up quickly. What needs time to polish the most is the arrangement.

Of course, this is a Korean song after all. Zhou Dingran took out this song and kept the tune intact. However, in terms of lyrics, although Zhou Dingran also had the ability to create lyrics, he did not show off. He clearly knew his true lyrics level, so in the end he only The composition of "The World Reunion" was sent to the program team, and he also took the initiative to complete the arrangement for this song.

At this point, Zhou Dingran spent five days to complete the recording of a total of ten songs for the second new album.

"Two reasons. The first is to avoid the talent show on the next station. Their ratings have soared recently, especially as the finals are approaching, and all the viewers' attention has been attracted."

There is still one week left before the finals. After receiving this song, the students must practice the song "The World Reunion Again" within a week.

The two arrangers are not as famous as Lin Cheng, but they are also well-known in the industry. The most important thing is that they have rich arrangement experience. This is very important, because only with rich arrangement experience can we understand the finished product that Zhou Dingran wants. What can better achieve the arrangement effect Zhou Dingran wants.

This is a challenge for the students.

……

After Wu Xuefei fully mastered it, she flew straight to the East China Sea and came to the Fanghua Entertainment recording studio. She and Zhou Dingran spent a day recording the song "Happy Worship".

However, the "National Heartbeat" finals will be held at the Donghai Stadium tomorrow night, and Zhou Dingran has to attend.

In the past ten days, after the eighth and ninth episodes of "National Heartbeat" were broadcast, they received very high attention. The ratings of the eighth episode even rose to 8.8%, which is far away from breaking the "King of Masked Singer" "'s 10% viewership rating was just a hair away.

Ten days have passed since the last third round performance.

This is also the reason why "I Am a Singer" is very jealous. For this reason, it specially staggered the broadcast time with the broadcast date of "National Heartbeat".

He had to record the songs for the new album within a week.

"Nocturne" and "Happy Worship" require Zhou Dingran to concentrate and rap accurately. This is a bit difficult for Zhou Dingran, but not much.

For the first eight songs, Zhou Dingran can definitely sing to the lyrics.

The warm-up for the finals of "National Heartbeat" started as early as two weeks ago.

The venue is Donghai Stadium, which has 56,000 seats.

More than ten days ago, the organizers had already built momentum for the finals.

Therefore, one week before the start of the finals, the organizers opened the online ticket purchase system.

As a result, fans from across the country and even across Asia flocked to the venue after hearing the news and booked tickets for the finals night in advance.

Fifty-six thousand tickets were sold out in less than two days after the public ticket sale.

At the same time, high-priced scalping tickets have also appeared on the market, but this phenomenon is only a minority. After all, the qualification to purchase more than 50,000 tickets was opened at the same time. Most of the fans who truly love and have the ability to come to support this show have already snapped up tickets in these two days.

However, some overseas fans still flocked to the event, which resulted in high-priced scalper tickets being sold until the day before the finals.

Information collected from various sources shows that "National Heartbeat", a girl group growth program, is also quite popular outside of China and is loved by many overseas audiences.

Many travel agencies have taken the opportunity to launch special packages for two-day tours to Donghai City, offering one-stop services for food, accommodation and entertainment, opening the door to convenience for many foreign tourists.

Although there are only more than 50,000 tickets, because of the program "National Heartbeat", many foreign tourists come to visit various places in the country, which also indirectly promotes the economic development of the tourism industry, and the program team has also received relevant attention. Compliments from the Culture and Tourism Department.

On the afternoon of the finals, many spectators came to the Donghai Stadium to wait in advance.

The Donghai City Police also attached great importance to the organization of this group night and mobilized a large number of police forces to maintain order.

At the same time, the program team also cooperated with the security company to equip the scene with powerful security forces.

At five o'clock in the afternoon, the audience began to check their tickets one by one and entered the stadium.

"Fifty-six thousand spectators...so many people! My whole body is shaking with nervousness now!"

Backstage, looking at the live footage of the finals broadcast on the TV screen, Hua Mei, a contestant who is proficient in four languages, her face turned red with emotion: "I heard from the election commissioner that our program is broadcast on many overseas channels. , and I am proficient in four languages: Chinese, Japanese, Russian and English, I will definitely make my debut today!”

As excited as Hua Mei were Lu Qing, Zhang Wei and others.

Both of them are first-year acting students at Nortel University. They originally aspired to be actors, but now with the broadcast of "National Heartbeat", their popularity has skyrocketed, and they are almost considered top idols. Then he left his original ambition of being an actor behind.

Now they just want to be an idol, a popular idol!

The feeling of standing on stage and being watched by everyone. Once you get used to it, you can't change it.

Even though Zhang Wei was already director Song Xincheng's favorite actress, she was still blinded by the huge popularity she had gained in the past three months.

What's more, it's Lu Qing!

She originally wanted to be a popular star, otherwise she wouldn't have been twisting and turning in Douyin short videos all day to attract popularity.

Nowadays, what she attracts is no longer the eyes of lewd men, but the enthusiastic screams and shouts of countless female fans, which makes her feel full of accomplishment.

In addition to Hua Mei, Lu Qing and Zhang Wei, the other players' faces were also filled with excitement.

In these short three months, each of them has gained varying degrees of growth and life insights. Of course, because of the high ratings, each of the twenty-two contestants who remain now has huge popularity. , and these popularity will be their greatest wealth in the past three months. Of course, those life insights will also determine how far they can go in the future.

Soon, seven o'clock in the evening came.

At this moment, tens of millions of viewers gathered in front of the screen.

And in Donghai Stadium.

In addition, the holographic projection also shows the wonderful scenes of many players in the past three months.

Soon after the projection ended, the stage lights came on.
