The days of retirement with the singing queen

The next morning, Lu Anshang submitted the entries and sent the soundtrack to the TV station.

The song was "We will rock you" that they had decided on in advance. When the assistant director got the song, he was a little surprised.

He was not surprised that what Lu An reported was an original song. Since the King of Colorful Bells was born, he has always composed his own songs and has never sung anyone else's songs. He serves as the behind-the-scenes producer for the Queen of Colorful Ring Tone, and his original songs were something the program team had already anticipated.

But he didn't expect that what the King of Colorful Bells and the Queen of Colorful Bells reported would be an English song.

"Are you sure you want to sing an English song?"

the assistant director asked.

Lu Anzhi nodded and said, "Is there any problem?"

The assistant director shook his head and said: "The problem is not a problem. I am afraid that English songs will affect your ranking. After all, we are in China, and you are not like Huo Jiawen. We have a foundation in English songs and are highly accepted by fans."

Lu Anzhi nodded and said, "Thank you, Director Ke, for reminding me. Let's try it first. If it doesn't work, try other works."

The assistant director’s surname is Ke, and he introduced himself before. Therefore, Lu Anzhi called him Director Ke.

Seeing that Lu Anzhi was stubborn, Director Ke stopped persuading him and said, "I've already reminded you what I should have reminded you. Anyway, you can think about it yourself. Our variety show is different from other variety shows. After all, it is live broadcast. Many factors on the scene cannot be controlled. It depends on your own performance."

This is CCTV. It doesn’t care about anything else, it only cares about word-of-mouth and ratings. As for other TV stations, in order to increase program revenue, they may engage in some secret operations, manipulate competition rankings, and engage in behind-the-scenes deals.

Lu Anzhi said: "Director Ke, I have another question."

Director Ke said: "What's the problem?"

Lu Anzhi asked: "Will there be anyone in the audience for our show to guide us?"

Director Ke glanced at Lu Anzhi and said: "There will be guidance. After all, the effect of the program must be ensured. Even the Spring Festival Gala has to be guided, let alone our "Singer Challenge". But after all, we are live broadcasting, and we cannot directly direct it like other variety shows. arrange.

"The guide is more like the host of the show, responsible for driving the atmosphere. The main thing is whether the singers on your stage can heat up the venue."

Lu Anzhi nodded, thanked him, and then left.

With Director Ke's words, he felt a little relieved. In this case, as long as the people in the audience are not bribed by others to target themselves specifically, the bang bang bang of "We will rock you" will explode.

Based on Lu Anzhi and Yao Dongxia's understanding of Han Guangyuan through various channels, it is basically impossible for this director to lose control of his directing team. Inspur International should not dare to make small moves on CCTV.

There are a total of seven singers in the "Singer Set Sail" program. With seven singers, there are seven groups.

Before noon, seven songs from seven groups were submitted to the "Singer Set Sail" program group.

In order to ensure the performance effect, the program team will familiarize themselves with the repertoire in advance, and the song barrages will also be produced early.

"How's it going? Is the track okay?"

Director Ke received all the tracks and when he saw Han Guangyuan, Han Guangyuan asked.

He had mentioned to the assistant director before that for the first show, it was necessary to ensure that more than two songs were effective enough to get the first impression and ensure that the show would get off to a good start.

Therefore, the singer's singing ability and song selection are top priorities.

The program team has classified the seven contestants in advance.

Among the seven contestants, there is a new male singer from the three northern provinces and a new female singer from the Tibetan Province. They are both very good singers. Han Guangyuan plans to build these two people into dark horses and try to make them sing the first song. Come up with effects to underpin the quality of the program.

As for Huo Jiawen and the other two singers, they all have a lot of popularity, and their own abilities are pretty good, and they may also be able to produce surprising results.

As for Song Xiaoqin, in the opinion of the program team, she is just for popularity and to add gimmicks. The songs on the ring tones list by the queen of ring tones are not very difficult.

However, Lu Anzhi was an uncertain factor behind Song Xiaoqin, and Han Guangyuan had some expectations for him.

There is still one player left who is purely filling up the numbers.

Han Guangyuan is now asking the assistant director, mainly about the singers he is focusing on. As for Song Xiaoqin's group, he has no hope at all.

Director Ke said: "It's okay. Lu Baoshu's song is a rock song, and Gong Minmin's is a Tibetan folk song. I think they are both easy to show the live effect. And Huo Jiawen, he is good at English songs, high notes A lot, and with Mattick arranging the music for him, it won’t be bad.

"As for the rest, there's not much to say. Oh, by the way...Song Xiaoqin's group came up with an original English song. I'm a little unsure."

Han Guangyuan was surprised: "English song?"

Director Ke nodded and said: "I listened to the soundtrack and asked the music consultant to look at the lyrics and music. The consultant said that this song is very good. It's a pity that it's not in Chinese. Do you want to give it a try and see if it works with Song Xiaoqin? Will that group change the lyrics to Chinese?"

Han Guangyuan said with a smile: "This legendary king of ring bells really doesn't play according to the routine. No wonder Zhou Bo admires him so much. You play it and I will listen."

Director Ke followed the instructions and played the soundtrack of "We will rock you". Han Guangyuan raised his eyebrows listening to the "thumping" drum beat. He took the lyrics and looked at them.

As the chief director of a music program, Han Guangyuan also specially learned basic music theory knowledge in order to ensure his control over the program. Although I am not proficient in it, I can probably hum the song by following the music score.

After listening to the soundtrack and reading the score, he couldn't help but sigh: "Don't mention it, he is truly the King of Colorful Bells. Zhou Bo has such high regard for him. It's quite interesting."

Director Ke asked him: "Do you need me to contact Lu Anzhi and ask him to change the lyrics for the Chinese version?"

Han Guangyuan pondered for a moment and said, "It's better not to use it. If the song submitted by the singer does not have major problems, we will try to interfere as little as possible. Moreover, this song can compete with Huo Jiawen, which is also a highlight of the show. Keep it."

Director Ke laughed: "Director Han, you are still thinking carefully. That's it. I'll announce the track."

Han Guangyuan said: "Okay."

So at 12 o'clock at noon, the official talker of CCTV Variety Channel released the list of participating guests and songs for the first episode of the show, and CCTV Variety Channel and several other channels also played the list of songs for the show.

…

In the hotel where Lu Anzhi and others were staying, Song Xiaoqin was in the room of Lu Anzhi's family of three, and together with Lu Anzhi and others, they paid attention to the song catalog announced by the program team.

They didn't go out that day. They directly ordered the hotel service for lunch, which would be delivered to the room later.

"As expected, Huo Jiawen sang an English song. "Silent"... This song seems to be a single released by Huo Jiawen."

Song Xiaoqin saw the track of "Singer Sets Sail" and said.

Lu Anzhi nodded and said: "This is something that I could have thought of a long time ago. When I was in the lounge before, I saw that the producer Huo Jiawen hired was Mattick Biondini from Beautiful Country. I hired this The producer has created such a character, and singing a Chinese song is a bit of a waste."

"Mattique Biondini?!"

Zhang Suxin and Song Xiaoqin were shocked at the same time.

It seems that this name is quite famous to people who know more about it. But he didn't know this person well, so he seemed a little ignorant.

Lu Anzhi smiled and said: "Don't react so much, we just have to sing our own songs."

Both Song Xiaoqin and Zhang Suxin were infected by Lu Anzhi's calmness. Song Xiaoqin worked hard and said, "I'll go practice again! Suxin, come and give me guidance."

Zhang Suxin said: "It's best to recuperate before the show starts. You have practiced well enough before, believe in yourself."

Song Xiaoqin wanted to say something else, but her cell phone's ringtone suddenly rang.

She took out her phone, looked at it, curled her lips, and said, "My mother is probably here to urge me on a blind date again."

She hesitated for a while, then answered the phone.

Seeing this, Lu Anzhi and Zhang Suxin took Xianxian to the room inside, gently closed the door, and asked Song Xiaoqin to make a phone call quietly.

"What's wrong, Mom?"

In the room outside, Song Xiaoqin answered the phone and asked.

Then the voice on the phone said: "Where have you gone? I came to Yipinju to find you, why are you not at home?"

Song Xiaoqin said: "I have something to come to the capital."

The voice on the phone said: "What can happen to you? Why did you go to the capital? If you have nothing to do, come back soon! I have found a few with good conditions for you. Let you choose for yourself first. I will give them to you if you like them. You contact me to meet me, so you don’t keep saying that I took it upon myself to arrange a blind date for you.”

Song Xiaoqin was suddenly glad that she agreed to Lu Anzhi and come to the capital to participate in a variety show with him. She immediately refused unceremoniously: "That won't work, Mom, I really have something to do and can't go back. Just forget about the blind date or something."

The voice on the phone suddenly became anxious: "What can you do that's more important than a blind date? Just tell me and I'll listen! You didn't go to the capital to fool around, right?"

Song Xiaoqin said: "What fooling around! Mom, how often do you see your daughter being such a messy person?! I'm going to participate in the show! "Singer Sets Sail" on CCTV Variety Channel will be broadcast live tomorrow, don't believe it You’ll see then.”

The voice on the phone said: ""Singer Sets Sail"? Are you singing?"

Song Xiaoqin said: "Yes, Mom, I can be considered a singer now. After participating in variety shows, I am now a star. Can you please stop introducing me to blind dates? Which celebrities do you think are still dating?"

The voice on the phone said: "That's nonsense! Celebrities don't get married or have children? I won't talk about it this time. We'll talk about it after you finish participating in the show."

He said and hung up the phone.

Song Xiaoqin let out a long breath.

She waited for a while and planned to go inside to find Lu Anzhi and his wife. Then before she could get up, her mother called again.

As soon as the call was connected, the voice on the phone said: "Xiaoqin, I have told your father, your aunt, your uncle, and your aunt about your appearance on the show tomorrow. We will all watch your performance tomorrow. Can you?" You have to sing well!”

Song Xiaoqin: "..."
