Super entertainment red envelope

Chapter 291 The Secret of "Singer"!

Seeing that Li Zhifan had doubts, the staff immediately explained: "The director team should not only consider the audience level of the singer's song selection, but also consider the singer's performance on the stage. Song selection is an extremely important part of the competition, so the director team must comprehensively Various data to suggest suitable songs for contestants.”

"Just a suggestion?"

Li Zhifan asked aloud, "You won't be forced to choose?"

"Of course not!"

The staff immediately assured, "After all, it is a reality show, we still have to respect the contestants' song selection."

"Since this is the case, then it can't be said that the director team has the final decision right?"

Li Zhifan spread his hands and said, "So this article has to be changed, and it must be clearly written in the contract. If I have a major disagreement with the director team in the end, I must follow my order."

"But……"

"Don't worry, this is a competition after all, and I will definitely be proud of my own results, so I will selectively accept the data and suggestions given by the director team."

"OK then!"

The people in the program group had no choice but to compromise. In order to be able to invite participating singers, and they were counter-war singers who were more difficult to advance, they could give up some principles and change some terms.

But these people are also holding their breath, and after the show becomes popular, they hope that this kind of case will never happen again, and it will be singers begging to be on the show.

All the terms formulated by the program group can only be accepted by the singers who come.

As for people like Li Zhifan, when the show becomes popular, whether you like it or not!

Of course Li Zhifan didn't care what the staff thought. The two parties were in a cooperative relationship, so of course he wanted to strive for great benefits for himself.

A thick stack of contracts, which involve many details, such as: during the competition period, you cannot participate in other singing programs of the same type; you cannot say anything that slanders the program on any social platform or in public; respect copyright awareness, and unite the program group music hands and so on.

Li Zhifan and the staff of the "Singer" program deducted the details of the contract one by one, with some changes and concessions.

For example, Li Zhifan asked to bring his own musicians, which means that Zhang Yao and the others also have the opportunity to show their faces, and their names will be put on the show when it is broadcast.

There are also problems with the accommodation environment and food, and you can fight for it with all your strength.

As for the supporting documentaries of the program and related publicity activities, we not only guarantee cooperation, but also try our best to make concessions that do not involve issues of principle and interests.

The meeting didn't end until four o'clock in the morning.

Seeing that the originally empty conference table was now filled with empty fast food boxes and drink cups, Li Zhifan couldn't help stretching.

"Mr. Li! Then we won't bother you, you go to bed earlier, we will go back first!"

A staff member of the program group said, "You must remember to come to our station to record on the 8th. We will arrange special personnel to follow up and take care of all your itineraries."

"Okay! Go back and rest early, too!"

Li Zhifan stood up and said to Yan Tao, "Tao, send some of you off."

"Yawn! Good!" Yan Tao yawned, "Then I will send them off and go back directly."

"Okay, let's go!"

Li Zhifan said.

At this point, he doesn't plan to go home anymore. Zhou Ke has already gone to the crew to report, so it's not interesting to go back, so he will just spend the night in the rest room of the studio.

……

In a blink of an eye.

Eighth is here.

Li Zhifan arrived at Changsha one day earlier, brought Chaoyang Park and others, and checked into the Golden Eagle Film and Television Cultural City.

The Film and Television Culture City is a part of Shonan Radio and Television, but it is not a film and television shooting base in the sense.

It is a large comprehensive community integrating food, clothing, housing, entertainment and shopping.

In a broad sense, Golden Eagle Film and Television Cultural City is an area covering an area of ​​more than 3000 mu, but in a narrow sense it is a building.

The hotels here are provided for stars, and all the stars and hosts who come to Mango Channel to record programs live here.

The "Singer" program has recorded two episodes on the 4th and 6th.

However, the first episode will be aired on the 21st.

The episode Li Zhifan recorded today will not be able to meet the audience until after a year.

The reason for the intense recording is precisely because the new year is about to come, and the whole industry has entered the busiest time, and the recording time of each episode will be gradually relaxed after a few years.

Not long after entering the room, there was a knock on the door.

After Zhao Yiduo stepped forward to open the door, a young and beautiful girl walked in.

"Hi Zhifan, my name is Wang Yijia, and I'm your music partner."

"Hello there!"

Li Zhifan stepped forward and smiled, "I didn't expect the show crew to send me such a beautiful girl."

Wang Yijia was suddenly overjoyed, who wouldn't want to hear compliments?

So the smile grew stronger: "I didn't expect to be your music partner. When I received the news, it was like a dream."

"Haha, everything in this show depends on your help!"

"I'll do my best to help you!"

Wang Yijia said, "This afternoon we will shoot a group of interviews for the show's documentary "Our Singer". Tomorrow morning, I will take you to the rehearsal. Now we can meet the show's music director, Mr. Chen Chen."

Li Zhifan already knew that Chen Chen was coming to this show as the music director, but he only communicated with Chen Chen on the "Sound Super League" back then. Say hello.

But Chen Chen didn't think so. As soon as he saw Li Zhifan, he shouted: "Zhifan! You didn't tell me in advance. I didn't know you were coming until I got the music."

As early as the second day after signing the contract with the program group, Li Zhifan sent three songs to be sung to the program group, two were his own songs, and one was an old song from this world.

The program group will arrange musicians to familiarize themselves with the songs in advance, and ask Chen Chen to provide several arrangements in advance.

As for the final arrangement, the two sides will conduct exchange and research today.

Li Zhifan and Zhang Yao also made several versions, but they cannot guarantee perfection, and they also need to learn from Chen Chen.

"I don't want to cause trouble for Mr. Chen!"

Li Zhifan smiled, "Besides, I signed the non-disclosure agreement, I believe Teacher Chen should also sign it? There are some things that you and I know, but we still can't talk about them."

There are many things that cannot be discussed, such as the song selection and arrangement of the competing singers, which are the most basic.

"Hey, it's really nothing, anyway, everyone will know sooner or later!"

Although Chen Chen said so, he didn't want to talk about the specifics.

Instead, I talked about the arrangement with Li Zhifan, "Which song do you plan to sing in the first show? Do you have any ideas on the arrangement?"

"I'm going to sing "The Actor"!"

Li Zhifan said, "Actually, I am also a little selfish. The two songs I chose this time have not been as popular as the other songs in the album. I have watched personal hits on several music platforms, and this song can only be ranked Ninth and tenth, so I plan to make another push on this stage, I have made some new attempts in arrangement, and I hope to hear your suggestions."

Strictly speaking, it cannot be said that the song "Actor" is not popular, but that Li Zhifan's other songs are too popular.

"In the Spring" and "Lake Baikal" were already on the list before the new album was released because of the "Sound Super League".

In addition, "Chinese" and "Single Love Song" are also very popular for various reasons.

For example, "Confession Balloon" is among the best on several platforms because of the vigorous promotion of the only mobile phone.

In addition, although the rankings of "Still Love You", "Chengdu", "Stubborn" and "Back to LS" are different on each platform, they are not bad overall. Some platforms are not very high, but some platforms can still squeeze into the top three .

Only the two songs "Actor" and "What Do You Want From Me?" For some unknown reason, according to the data of several platforms, they are both ranked in the lower ranks.

Chen Chen smiled: "Then it's settled?"

"Yeah!" Li Zhifan said, and asked Zhang Yao to take out a USB flash drive, "Listen to my arrangement first!"

Chen Chen plugged in the USB flash drive, clicked on the song and closed his eyes to listen.

There is still a piano in the prelude, but the piano sound is no longer the main theme, and it is much weaker than the original version. The emphasis is on the deepness of the cello. If you change the instrument to play the melody of the prelude, it will be heavier.

When it came to the singing part, as soon as Li Zhifan's voice came out, Chen Chen's ears seemed to be caught.

Because he wanted to arrange the song, he listened to it dozens of times.

But in this version of singing, Li Zhifan's singing skills seem to have improved again.

The cavity resonance of the bass is very reasonable and scientific, and after singing a few lines, it seems to have more soul than the original version.

If I had to describe it in one word, it would be: affectionate!

This kind of eloquent singing, like telling a story, makes Chen Chen feel as if he is not listening to a song, but feeling a period of life.

After the song was played, Chen Chen looked at Li Zhifan and asked, "Do you want to listen to the versions I made up?"

"Okay!"

Li Zhifan nodded, put on his earphones and started listening.

Chen Chen's several versions are all different, some have added the hole Xiao, and some have replaced the main instrument with a guitar.

But from Li Zhifan's point of view, these are just assistance.

Sometimes the most touching singing is a cappella, with at most a piano or a guitar.

Singing skills are not enough, and musical instruments come to make up.

Instruments can enhance the atmosphere, and can also cover up the flaws in the singing.

"too complicated!"

After listening to Chen Chen's several versions, Li Zhifan said, "I still hope to make it simpler and more straightforward."

"In that case, in fact, your version is completely fine!"

Chen Chen said, "Overall, there is no need to make too many changes, but some details can be changed appropriately. For example, before the second verse, if there is a beat according to the design of the third version I just made, the drumbeat Entering together with the singing, there will definitely be a good sense of suspense!"

"You can try this!"

Arrangement also pays attention to concepts, which is something that the music industry always loves to play, but what is the concept of music may not even be known to those who play it.

At this time, Li Zhifan and Chen Chen were just designing a framework and outlining the goals they wanted to achieve.

As for the concept, let the audience and critics think about it after the performance.

……

The program "Singer" was planned by Huang Tianhai.

But this model is actually not what he thought. In fact, there have been many similar programs abroad.

If we talk about the original source, it might be from the music charts!

On the ranking list, singers compete with recorded songs, while programs like "Singer" are contests where singers sing songs live. The same thing between the two is that fans vote with their ears.

Huang Tianhai referred to dozens of music and singing programs at home and abroad, including absorbing experience and models from rookie talent shows, so as to formulate a set of rules, and then improve this set of rules.

Once the show becomes popular, Huang Tianhai will definitely become famous and become a well-known first-line variety show director in China.

At the same time, as the chief planner and chief producer of this program, Huang Tianhai is currently in the post-production room, personally directing everyone to edit the material recorded in the first episode.

At this time, Wang Yijia came over and whispered in Huang Tianhai's ear, "Director Huang, Zhifan is here!"

"Oh!" Huang Tianhai said without turning his head, "Bring him in!"

"But these..."

Wang Yijia was surprised, "Can he see it?"

"It's okay!"

Huang Tianhai said, "Other singers are already familiar with this stage, but he is not only the first time, but also a challenge singer, it doesn't matter if you let him see it!"

He didn't want Li Zhifan to be eliminated in the first round before he was familiar with the situation, but he couldn't operate in secret, doing it like this in the first season was tantamount to smashing his own brand.

But the inability to operate in a dark box does not mean that it cannot be hinted in other ways.

The material of this first issue can be seen by Li Zhifan, and it also gives him a bottom line.

At this time, Li Zhifan's feeling was inexplicable.

Why call him into the editing room?
Could it be that there is some trick?
Standing outside the door, Li Zhifan imagined that Huang Tianhai patted him on the shoulder, and said approvingly: "Zhifan, the King of Songs is yours!"

"Ha ha!"

Thinking of this, he couldn't help laughing out loud.

"Zhifan...uh, you are..."

Hearing the sound, Li Zhifan looked up and found that Wang Yijia had come out of it at some point, and immediately restrained his expression and changed into a faint smile: "Oh, it's okay, what does Director Huang mean?"

"He let you in to chat!" Wang Yijia said.

Li Zhifan nodded: "Let's go!"

The editing room is like a computer room in a school, but the environment is also like an Internet cafe. Hundreds of computers are running at the same time, and there is an editor in front of each computer.

At this time, Huang Tianhai was standing behind an editor and pointing Jiangshan.

Li Zhifan stepped forward and asked, "Director Huang, what do you need from me?"

"Zhifan is here!"

Huang Tianhai turned his head and smiled, "I asked you to come over and take a look at the first round of the competition. I'm worried that you, as the first singer to challenge, will be eliminated without knowing anything. It's a pity and a shame. It’s a waste. And I set up such a competition system in the hope that those who have the strength to challenge singers can put pressure on other competing singers. If you directly challenge and fail to be eliminated, then the meaning of this competition system will be gone!”

"Director Huang, isn't this a secret?"

Li Zhifan smiled, "Just show me like this, what if someone says it's a shady scene?"
