Chinese Entertainment's Shining Star

It was Zhao Mingming who stopped Nie Wei.

It's just that Zhao Mingming called Nie Wei, but stood there and hesitated to speak. When Nie Wei saw this, he guessed it, so he patted him on the shoulder and did not stay to wait for him to say those words.

An hour later, Zhao Mingming took the rest of the Black Panthers to a coffee shop near the hotel. More than ten minutes later, Nie Wei also came to the shop.

"Sorry, I'm late."

"It's okay. It's okay to work on both the front and back legs. We haven't been here long. Didn't you notice that our coffee hasn't been served yet?"

The two parties smiled and greeted each other without being too polite. After all, Nie Wei was considered a non-staff member of the Black Panther. After sitting down, Nie Wei asked with a smile: "Brother Zhao, why did you stop me?"

"I'm embarrassed to say this." Zhao Minyi blushed, but under the encouraging gazes of his teammates, he opened his mouth: "I just want to ask you, can we Black Panthers participate in the show you mentioned? ah?"

Nie Weiwei was startled, and at first he couldn't understand why Zhao Minyi asked such a question, but as he glanced at the wrinkled faces of several people, he suddenly figured it out.

Because of age.

Obviously because of concerns about their age, Zhao Mingming was not sure whether the show would accept them.

It's no wonder that these are some of the discrimination problems in today's entertainment industry. Not only are newcomers fiercely competitive, many are denied development opportunities, but even old people like Zhao Mingming are also facing the problem of lack of opportunities.

The reason why those programs look down on newcomers is naturally because they are not famous, and the reason why they look down on these old people is because of their age. They feel that their development potential has long been exhausted, and many old artists are unwilling to sign long-term contracts. It's also a big problem.

The production companies and brokerage companies behind these programs are naturally unwilling to invest too much in these people.

This is why the program "Singer" is so popular among senior singers in the industry. It really provides a stage for too many senior singers to showcase themselves. I don't know how many expired singers have become popular again on this show.

"Brother Zhao, and everyone, your worries are unnecessary. "Singer" is produced by our company. For senior artists, we have always been looking forward to you shining on the stage again. I can guarantee here that as long as Black Panther comes with his original intention, I will definitely give everyone a pass for this show.”

Having said this, before Zhao Yiming and others could look happy, Nie Wei spoke again.

"However, during the program competition, I am sorry that I cannot take care of everyone out of personal feelings. After all, although this is a variety show, it is also a competitive program. All competitive programs under Fanxing have always ensured that the program Every competitor is treated as fairly as possible.”

"So how far you can go in the show depends on everyone's ability." Nie Wei had to inoculate this group of old guys. He didn't want Sun Moumou to withdraw from the competition.

Zhao Mingming solemnly promised: "Nie Wei, don't worry, we understand this, and we also hope to get good results based on our own abilities. Otherwise, we will get first place depending on you, and we will feel uneasy holding this honor."

With Zhao Yiming's guarantee, Nie Wei said nothing more. He smiled and chatted about music with a few people for a while, mainly talking about the content of the program and tips for the competition.

"Because there are currently no similar band competition programs in China, it is foreseeable that in the early stages of the program, the selected bands will definitely not adapt to this competitive model. Just like when the "Singer" program was first launched, many capable bands Many singers were eliminated in the first few episodes. The reason is naturally not that they are not strong enough, nor that they are not good at the scene, but that they do not know how to please the audience. "

"We must not only ensure the unique style of our band, but also know how to please the audience. It is best for everyone to think about this carefully. If we understand this clearly, I think at least the first two rounds of eliminations will be safe for everyone. As for whether you can make it to the finals, it depends on your strength. After all, the bands we selected are definitely the best in China. "

Seeing Zhao Minyi and others looking very stressed, Nie Wei couldn't help but laugh and comforted everyone with a smile: "You don't have to be too stressed. Your music style is already dominant. You just need to find a good position and make good arrangements." Qu, it’s not difficult to break out of the encirclement.”

Nie Wei's words were not just to comfort everyone, they also came from the heart.

The Black Panthers are not a traditional band with a unique personality. They don't care whether the fans like it or not, they just sit on their favorite band and wait for like-minded people to join them.

The Black Panthers themselves are doing pop rock. If we put it in today's era, they would be following the idol route. Although the appearance of Zhao Mingming and others are definitely not in this way now, the style of their Black Panther songs But very suitable for competition.

After all, the word "pop" is enough to explain everything. It is just to cater to fans. After all, can music that is not accepted by the public be called pop music?

"Perhaps you can contact Mr. Dou. If, I mean if, he is willing to help you, I think it will be no problem for you to get at least the top three." Nie Wei suddenly thought of a person and immediately suggested.

Hearing this, Zhao Minyi and others also felt their eyes light up.

You must know that the original three heroes of Moyan were popular on both sides of the Taiwan Strait and three places. They were definitely the pioneers of Chinese rock music, and the most popular among them was none other than Mr. Dou.

Although Mr. Dou has lost his youthful appearance due to the ravages of time, his comeback will certainly stir up a huge topic, and Mr. Dou's musical talent is there. If Black Panther can really invite him to come out, he will definitely be in the top three.

Mr. Wang, the bassist on the side, was the most impatient, and wanted to take out his phone to call Dou Wei on the spot.

"What are you doing?" Zhao Mingyi looked at Mr. Wang taking out his phone to make a call, and immediately asked in confusion.

"Calling Boss Dou." Mr. Wang answered as a matter of course.

Nie Wei sat on the side, looking at Mr. Wang in astonishment, feeling incredible in his heart. How big is this guy's face? Why does he think that he can invite Mr. Dou to come out with just one phone call? And what does he think of Zhang Qi, the host on the side, as? Didn't you see that Zhang Qi's face changed?

At this moment, Zhang Qi's expression flashed a trace of dissatisfaction. If Mr. Dou really agreed, then Mr. Dou must be the host of this show. After all, he was once the most shining lead singer of Black Panther.

But how should I position myself at that time? It is even a question whether I should participate in this program.

Fortunately, there is still a sober person in Black Panther. Zhao Mingyi snatched Teacher Wang's mobile phone and hung up the call that had just been dialed.

"Have some shame. It's not too late to ask Lao Dou to help us after we enter the finals."

"But what if we can't even enter the finals?" Teacher Wang glanced at Nie Wei when he said this.

"Then we will lose face. How can we have the face to invite Lao Dou?" Zhao Mingyi glared at Teacher Wang unhappily, feeling that his friend was not very smart and had a low EQ.

He also noticed the face of the host Zhang Qi, and planned to comfort this little brother in the group after returning to the hotel.

He knew very well that Teacher Wang had no ill intentions, but his mind was too straightforward. He thought one thing and did another, and didn't consider other people's feelings at all, so he didn't really target Zhang Qi, but it was this kind of unintentional, sometimes it was more hurtful.

After returning to the hotel room, Zhang Qi sat on the sofa, looking at the glass in front of him, and he was furious. He picked it up and threw it to the ground.

In his heart, the most respectable person in the team is naturally Brother Zhao Yiyi. First, Zhao Yiyi is the elder of the band and has been in the band since its inception. Second, Zhao Yiyi has taken good care of him since he joined the band and gave him many opportunities to perform.

But he didn't respect Teacher Wang, who was also a veteran of the band.

In his eyes, Teacher Wang was the kind of arrogant and senior person who didn't deserve his respect at all. This incident today was not the first time it happened. In Zhang Qi's black notes, there were even countless knocks.

Just when Zhang Qi was so angry that he was breathing heavily, there was a knock on the room.

Zhang Qi didn't want to open the door, but the other party was very persistent. He knocked for half a minute, and he was not in a hurry, as if he was going to knock to the end. In desperation, Zhang Qi grabbed his hair in annoyance and got up to open the door.

"Who is it? Why are you knocking?" Zhang Qi shouted impatiently while opening the door. After just one sentence, he stopped talking and his attitude slowed down instantly when he saw the person at the door.

"Brother Zhao, why are you here?" It was Zhao Yiyi who was standing at Zhang Qi's door and knocking.

"Wouldn't you like me to come in and sit down?" Zhao Yiyi didn't answer, but asked with a smile. Zhang Qi quickly made way when he heard this, but only after Zhao Yiyi walked in did he remember that his broken cup was still on the ground.

He wanted to catch up and sort it out, but he saw that Zhao Yiyi had already walked to the living room, his eyes were fixed on the ground, and he obviously saw the broken cup.

"Brother Zhao, my hands were shaking and I didn't hold the cup firmly, so I accidentally broke it." Zhang Qi explained guiltily.

Zhao Yiyi smiled and shook his head. It didn't matter whether it was accidentally dropped on the ground and broken, or deliberately broken to vent his anger. He came to Zhang Qi just to persuade him.

"Sit down." Zhao Yiyi sat on the sofa, then pointed to the side, motioning Zhang Qi to sit down.

After Zhang Qi sat down, Zhao Mingyi asked, "Wang didn't mean to be in the coffee shop today."

Zhang Qi lowered his head. When he saw Zhao Mingyi at the door, he actually guessed about 50% of it, so he was not surprised.

"Brother Zhao, I understand, and I don't care. If Boss Dou is really willing to help, I am willing to give up the position of lead singer." Zhang Qi replied insincerely.

How could he not care about what Teacher Wang said? As for giving up the lead singer, it was just a nice thing to say. After all, Brother Zhao had said that Boss Dou would not be invited until the finals, and it was not certain that Boss Dou would be invited in the finals. After all, the other party had been in seclusion for a long time, and it was unlikely that he would come out easily for a variety show.

As for the possibility that Boss Dou was willing to come out to help, Zhang Qi also accepted it. Boss Dou, a god-like rock pioneer, was willing to come to the band to help, and he was willing to give up the lead singer position. After all, if the band could get a good ranking at that time, he would definitely be able to benefit from it. After all, the band itself is a whole, and he, a member of the Black Panther, will enjoy the glory in the end.

After all, it is impossible for Boss Dou to really join the band to replace him.

But if Boss Dou were to participate in the show from the beginning, Zhang Qi would definitely not accept it, because that would mean he would have no exposure at all. How could this be possible? He was counting on this show to become famous.

Zhao Mingyi didn't believe what Zhang Qi said, but Zhao Mingyi could guess what he was thinking.

After all, although he was a younger brother, he had been in the band for many years, so they were not strangers to each other.

Zhao Yiming said directly: "Zhang Qi, I know you are not sincere, but this kind of "misunderstanding" must be made clear. If you beat around the bush or cover it up, it is likely to make the misunderstanding deeper and deeper. You should understand this principle very well. I will not hide my purpose. I came to you today to untie the knot between you and Lao Wang."

Without waiting for Zhang Qi to explain, Zhao Yiming continued: "You two have disliked each other for a while. You are young, but you are actually more sensible than Lao Wang. You usually give in to him. At least you have never embarrassed him in front of your brothers. Brother Zhao has seen all this."

"But you also know that Lao Wang's character is too straightforward. Sometimes he acts and speaks without thinking. The only thing he cares about in this life may be Beth."

"For today's incident, I apologize to you on behalf of Lao Wang. I will also talk to Lao Wang, but of course it will be useless. He is a person who cannot listen to advice." Zhao Yiming said this with a bitter smile.

Saying that Mr. Wang is too straightforward is a embellishment. In Zhao Mingyi's heart, Mr. Wang is too self-centered. He does everything according to his own ideas, and naturally doesn't care about others.

Of course, Zhao Mingyi would not say this. After all, they have been teammates for decades, and at least he should give him some face in front of the younger generation.

"Brother Zhao, it stands to reason that you give me face like this, so I must accept it. But as you said, Brother Wang sometimes speaks and acts too hurtfully." Zhang Qi, under Zhao Mingyi's persuasion, finally couldn't help but complain in front of him.

Hearing Zhang Qi's complaints, Zhao Mingyi was relieved.

If Zhang Qi agreed to reconcile, Zhao Mingyi would really worry about whether the band would have to change the lead singer again. Now that Zhang Qi complained, at least the other party's inner resentment began to vent. As long as this resentment could not be kept, everyone would still be happy teammates.

"He has only 'hurt' you for a few years, but he has hurt me for almost 30 years." Zhao Mingyi made a joke, and seeing Zhang Qi also laughed, he advised with a smile: "As teammates, it is normal to have friction. Lao Wang is like a child and doesn't know anything, but you, Brother Zhao, are a wise man."

"Especially now is a critical period, we are going to participate in the show, this is the time to unite more, don't you think?"
