I turned out to be top-notch!

Chapter 50 I am a chess piece

"Zou Renjie, Fang Han, Shi Yucheng...do they have Huang Boran?"

Zhou Dingran frowned as he looked at the singer recommended by Liang Xiaobo.

Liang Xiaobo was still chattering messages one after another.

"Zou Renjie is one of the most popular new singers at the moment. His masterpiece "Rain Butterfly" became a hit on Douyin at the end of last year, and the number of song plays on Haijiao.com exceeded 3 million."

"Fang Han is an amateur singer who came out of the road variety show "Long Lang March" launched by Jianghai TV. Although he has no personal masterpieces, he has a strong voice and his singing skills are not inferior to those of first-line singers. Almost all his cover works can beat the original ones. .”

"Shi Yucheng is also one of the new generation singers. He is a powerful singer who came out of the program "National Idol". Although he was eventually eliminated and did not form a group, I think his singing skills are underestimated. All he needs is one song. A masterpiece.”

"Huang Boran is a singer recently launched by Tianmang and a new member of the Miracle Boys. As an all-round idol artist, Huang Boran has good singing and acting skills and a bright future. I personally think this person has great potential and will become Tianmang in the future. The mainstay of Mang.”

"..."

Zhou Dingran directly eliminated Huang Boran. No matter how much money he paid, he would not be able to do this stupid thing.

Then he searched the names of the other three people and found that these three people were basically new-generation singers under the age of 30. Regardless of their singing skills, at least they were guaranteed to be popular.

But the song "Lonely Warrior" is not suitable for these newcomers at all.

No matter how strong their singing skills are and how popular they are, their voices cannot hold down this song. Even if it is given to them to sing, after "Lonely Warrior" becomes a big hit, countless singers will surely cover this song one after another. And it would be really funny if the original singer was killed by the cover.

Although Fang Han introduced by Liang Xiaobo has good singing skills, the cover songs are often more popular than the original works.

But what the other party is best at is high notes, and his voice is relatively thin, which is not suitable for "The Lonely Warrior" at all.

If he had to compare himself to a singer, Zhou Dingran felt that this person had the shadow of the singer Zhou Shen.

But what Zhou Dingran is looking for is a singer with a thick voice, full of magnetism and strong penetrating power. The most important thing is that the vocal range must be wide, able to control the lowest bass, and also good at the highest notes.

Such talents can be said to have both artistic and commercial value.

It's hard to come by.

"Let's treat a dead horse as a living horse doctor!"

Zhou Dingran no longer had high hopes. He stated his request, asked Liang Xiaobo to pay attention, and prepared to log off.

As a result, Liang Xiaobo quickly sent a message: "Master Wenzhao, I know of a singer with a thick voice and a wide range that you mentioned, but..."

"but what?"

"But he is currently in a banned state, and he has a paranoid and stubborn personality. He takes soft rather than hard, and never bows his head when encountering injustice. As a result, his popularity is quite poor..."

"Tell me carefully."

"His name is Wei Xiao, 36 years old, a five-star singer. There was a time when he was famous in the Chinese music scene and was popular all over the world. However, when he served as a mentor in a talent show, he went against the capital, tore up the script, and blatantly refused to do the dirty work. As a result, From that year to now, three years have passed since he has not appeared in public, and now he seems to have opened a vocal training institution in his hometown."

Wei Xiao?

Such a familiar name!

Zhou Dingran became interested and immediately opened the search box to look up information about "Wei Xiao".

As a result, the more I looked at it, the more confused I became.

Wei Xiao can be said to be a representative of late bloomers.

Before the age of 31, he was the owner of a musical instrument store. When he was 30 and one year old, he won the championship of the talent show "Avenue of Stars" hosted by CCTV with an unstoppable trend, and then officially signed with a brokerage company to make his debut.

Two years after their debut, they have become popular all over the country. Their representative works "Head Up", "Flying into the Dark", "Starlight", etc. are all well-known music works in those two years.

At the age of 33, he became a five-star singer on Haijiao.com with many masterpieces. Later, he was invited to participate in the talent show "National Idol" led by Tianmang and sponsored by many brokerage companies, and became the youngest mentor of the program team.

As a result, halfway through the program, there was a sudden change.

Just because capital intervened in the show and allowed Wei Xiao to cast his fateful vote for the capital-designated traffic contestant, another powerful contestant was eliminated and sadly left the show.

This immediately made Wei Xiao angry.

Because the program team had told him that this contestant would not be eliminated.This made him choose to compromise and vote for the chess piece designated by capital.

But the result was not at all what he imagined.

Just because of this difference in votes, players who could have been steadily promoted were directly eliminated.

Wei Xiao was angry and decided to be tough.

At that time, in the stunned silence of the audience, contestants, program team and other instructors, Wei Xiao dropped the microphone and roared with his thick voice on the scene, telling the whole story of the cause and effect, completely revealing the secrets of capital. A fig leaf.

That night, the relevant video was revealed by the audience and quickly became popular in the entertainment industry.

Wei Xiao also immediately spoke out on Weibo, apologizing to the contestant who was eliminated because of him, and announced his permanent withdrawal from the recording of "National Idol".

There was an uproar in public opinion.

There were many people who supported Wei Xiao. The program team immediately apologized publicly for causing the public outcry, but denied the shady incident. They only said that Wei Xiao was under too much pressure and asked the other party to take this opportunity to have a good rest and choose later. A new mentor emerged to take Wei Xiao's place.

Although there was a lot of commotion at the time, the Internet is forgetful, and this matter soon fell into disuse as the popularity of "National Idol" became more and more popular.

And since then.

Wei Xiao disappeared from the public eye until now.

Some people say that a group of companies in the industry led by Tianmang launched a collective boycott against Wei Xiao. All relevant units in the industry were forced to cancel cooperation with Wei Xiao one after another under pressure.

Some people also say that Wei Xiao was disillusioned with the dirty entertainment industry, out of sight and out of mind, so he left the music scene directly.

It's more likely to be both.

In short, after that year, few people mentioned Wei Xiao's name again.

In the era of rapid development of the Internet, especially the rise of a large number of entertainment applications, people were distracted and had no time to pay attention to other things. As a result, the name Wei Xiao was forgotten over time.

Zhou Dingran expressed his admiration for this kind of warrior who dared to fight against the darkness, and also developed a strong interest in Wei Xiao himself.

Suppressed by Tianmang and other companies?

Great, the enemy of my enemy is my friend!

It’s not too much to help a friend when he’s in trouble, right?

To be cautious, Zhou Dingran clicked on Wei Xiao's representative works and listened to a few songs.

Listen to the songs one by one.

Zhou Dingran was generally satisfied.

However, when he accidentally opened the comment area of ​​the song "Flying into the Dark" and saw the comments with the highest number of likes, Zhou Dingran was stunned.

"The one who defeats evil can always be evil. Celebrate the first day Zhou Dingran was banned!"

"The one who defeats evil can only be evil. Celebrate the day after Zhou Dingran was banned!"

"..."

Six of the hot comments in the entire comment area, from the first to the tenth, were celebrating Zhou Dingran's ban!

"Who did I offend?"

Zhou Dingran felt something was wrong.

When he checked Wei Xiao's resume again, he finally discovered Hua Dian.

"Am I... the chess piece in the show that is so favored by capital?"

Zhou Dingran was dumbfounded.
