China Entertainment: Starting from 07 Kuainan

Chapter 379 King Lu sends hero posts widely

9 month 25 day.

[On the Road] The tour at Yanjing Station came to a perfect conclusion.

After the concert, Lu Yuan did not go back to Magic City directly, but stayed in Star City.

"I Am a Singer", which has been in preparation for half a year, is about to start recording. Before the official recording, the program team needs to finalize the itinerary with the contestants.

As the saying goes, there is no first in literature and no second in military affairs.

As a music competition show, it is not easy to invite contestants.

Popular singers rarely participate in similar programs.

After all, the competition system of "Singer" is too cruel, and every issue has to face the scores of a professional jury + a public jury.

If the score is too low, or at the bottom, the singer's face will be somewhat unsightly.

Secondly, singers can only sing their own masterpieces when they make their first appearance. In the rest of the competition, they have to sing other singers' songs, either randomly or in designated challenges.

And some adaptations are needed.

Singers who don’t have a few skills don’t even dare to go on stage.

Adaptation is a technical job.

If the arrangement is too bad, it will inevitably be compared with the original song.

I can't keep my face.

Therefore, popular singers like Zhang Shaohan, JJ Lin, and Zhao Lei will hardly participate in the "Singer" competition.

Some senior singers in the music industry, such as Principal Tan and Zhou Huajian, will not participate.

Therefore, which singers to invite has become a big issue.

Since it is a variety show, the contestants must have a certain degree of popularity. Otherwise, if a bunch of small transparent competitions are invited, who will come to watch?

As the producer of the program, most of the invitation issues are the responsibility of Canxing Culture.

The first two singers to confirm their participation are Tian Zhen, the mentor of "The Voice".

Although Tian Zhen was out of fashion before, he has become famous since the first show of "The Voice".

Today, Tian Zhen participates in "Singer", firstly to thank Canxing Culture, and secondly because Tian Zhen himself wants to try it.

Third, inviting her also means to calm down the situation.

Although Tian Zhen has retired from the music scene for many years, her singing skills are still not bad. Even if she has declined, she can still be ranked at the T1 level.

The second confirmed participant is Huayi’s singer Li Huizhen.

It's a pity for this one. Around the millennium, Li Huizhen was diagnosed with a brain tumor when she just wanted to be popular.

At that time, the doctor provided two options. One treatment option would damage the ability to sing, and the other would risk losing fertility.

Li Huizhen decisively chose the latter. After several years of treatment, Li Huizhen came back in 07, signed with Huayi, and left a golden song "Love Yesterday to Death".

She is a typical singer who is famous but not popular. The song "Love Yesterday" was popular for a while, but she herself made little profit.

In addition, Li Huizhen's singing skills are also at the level of a 'diva', with an extremely wide vocal range and various techniques at her fingertips.

After acquiring Huayi, Boss Lu was ready to promote this talented singer who had been buried.

The third contestant is Kim Hae-shin, a contracted singer under Kim Shin-ja. "So Proud", "Love Is Like Narcissus", and "Wake Up the Ears" are all her masterpieces.

Jin Haixin's timbre is very recognizable and her voice is sweet.

The kind that's sweet but not greasy.

Born into a musical family, her singing style is more academic and she is also a capable singer.

Jin Xinzi is a subsidiary of Hurray Century. Boss Lu invited Jin Haixin with basically no effort.

The fourth confirmed participant is an unpopular singer.

It's really unpopular.

Wu Tong, a musician who graduated from the Folk Music Department of the Central Academy of Music, is a very interesting singer.

In 91, Wu Tong formed the country's first academic rock band [Samsara Band], dedicated to the integration of folk music and rock. Several subsequent albums were released, all of which were well-received but not well-received.

In 2000, Wu Tong led the Samsara Band to appear on CCTV's Century New Year's Day Gala, becoming the first rock band to appear on CCTV.

Later, Wu Tong met cellist Yo-Yo Ma, and then his music career took a turn and became more focused on classical music.

Transformed into a core member of the Silk Road Orchestra and won two Grammys.

(PS: The Grammy Award is not just for singers, producers and core staff can also share the honor).

Speaking of which, Wu Tong also has a masterpiece, the theme song "Good Spring" of "Spring Splendid Pig Bajie" was sung by him.

In order to invite Wu Tong, Lu Yuan spent a lot of effort.

At the beginning of the year, Yo-Yo Ma, Wu Tong and others won the Grammy Award for Best Classical Crossover Album.

The orchestra also needs to eat. After winning the award, they performed a lot. As one of the core members of the orchestra, Wu Tong could not just leave at will.

However, Boss Lu still had some reputation in the pop music world. After making more than a dozen calls, he finally persuaded Wu Tong.

The fifth participant is also a 'has-been singer'.

Xue Qianqian had a difficult time at Shangteng Entertainment. Although "Serious Snow" became popular for a while, he also released an album later.

But the publicity and promotion were not in place, and it basically went cold.

Seeing that the heat was almost over, Boss Lu’s Starlight Records extended an olive branch to Xue Qianqian.

In the past two years, Starlight Records has been the most developed record company in China, and the news that Lu Yuan acquired shares of Huayi Music has spread in the circle.

The intention of expansion is obvious!

Therefore, Xue Qianqian accepted the contract without much hesitation.

Based on the relationship between Boss Lu and Moduwenguang, Xue Qianqian can be successfully signed as long as he pays a liquidated damages.

The sixth singer to participate is the 'has-been singer', the talented singer Lin Ji-hyun.

It didn't take much effort to invite him.

After terminating his contract with Sony, Lin Zhixuan opened his own music company, and then he let himself go and only made the music he liked.

He really loves music.

After two talks, Lin Zhixuan confirmed the itinerary!

The seventh contestant is Tan Weiwei, a singer launched by Tianyu, winner of the 06 Super Girl Yizhou District and runner-up in the national finals.

A singer with the same ability.

Among the new albums released at the beginning of the year, "If There Is an Afterlife" became a small hit, but it is not a popular song.

The above seven singers are the guests in the first round of competition.

At the beginning of the program project, Lu Yuan had a showdown with Hunan Satellite TV.

Put an end to insider information!

There is no default decision!

Who wins is decided by the judges and the audience. The program team cannot interfere with the results of the competition.

In addition to the above seven first-round guest performers, there are also five fill-in singers.

Zhang Yu, the king of bitter love songs, is famous for his masterpieces such as "The Trouble Caused by the Moon" and "The Rain Keeps Falling".

Huang Zheng is a signed singer under Huayi Music. His representative works include "Love Normandy" and "Running".

Daolang, a singer owned by Universal, is known for his representative works such as "The Punishment of Impulse" and "The First Snow in 2002".

Power Train, invited by Xiangnan Satellite TV, and has representative works such as "Dang" and "So That's It".

Zhang Jie, recommended by Xiangnan Satellite TV, his representative works include "The Most Beautiful Sun", "After Tomorrow", "This Is Love", etc.
