Chapter 262: Looking for guest singers and the means of capital behind them

"Fang Xing, do you have any ideas about the guest singers? Should you look for them in the company? Or find a capable singer outside?" Liang Yusong helped to review the candidates for the guest singers.

With Fang Xing's current strength, there are many singing guests to choose from.

Of course, if Tan Zhiguan is regarded as an imaginary enemy, it will be a bit difficult to surpass him as a guest singer.

After all, the gossip said that Tan Zhiguan is planning to ask the diva to help sing.

As for which diva Tan Zhiguan will invite, you can probably guess it.

There are not many female singers in the music world who can be called queens. After excluding the queens who have passed their prime, there are even fewer left.

The queen, who has a good relationship with Mailin Records, actually has the answer ready to come out.

There is a high probability that it is Qi Xiuna, the queen of Puxiang Records.

Fang Xing had never dealt with this Queen of Puxiang.

However, there had been indirect interactions before.

When Jade Bird Media was looking for a theme song for the movie "Liao Zhai: Painted Skin", Puxiang Records also participated in the bidding.

At that time, Jade Bird Media took a fancy to "Drawing Heart", but they did not intend to let Li Caiwei sing it, but wanted Qi Xiuna to sing it.

If it were a song by another producer, it would most likely be Qi Xiuna singing this theme song.

However, Fang Xing had a tougher attitude and insisted on appointing the singer himself, otherwise he would give up the cooperation.

Finally, there was Li Caiwei's "Painting Heart".

Therefore, in the first round of the "Sing Out Loud" finals, Tan Zhiguan's singing guest will most likely be Queen Qi Xiuna.

The combination of kings and queens, whether it is gimmicks or strength, has become the ceiling of the Chinese music scene.

Therefore, the competition this time is very fierce.

Fang Xingyi hopes to invite a strong singing guest.

However, when choosing guest singers, he is different from Tan Zhiguan.

When Tan Zhiguan and Mailin Records invite guest singers, they first select the divas as guest singers, and then choose the songs to sing based on the guest singers.

Fang Xing is different. He plans to first determine the song he wants to sing, and then find a backup singer suitable for singing the song based on the characteristics of the song.

Therefore, Fang Xing did not immediately decide on the guest singers, but first considered what songs to sing.

On the other hand, Mailin Records determined the candidate for the singing guest very early and submitted it to the "Sing Out Loud" program team.

Tong Fei naturally knew who Tan Zhiguan's singing guest was.

If Fang Xing really asked, he could actually find out.

However, this would break the rules.

Fang Xing was not yet ready to rely on this method to win the competition, so he did not ask Tong Fei for information on the matter of helping the guest singers.

One week before the finals, Feifan Entertainment officially began to build momentum for the finals of "Sing Out Loud".

Begin to publish the silhouettes and key information of the singing guests on major online platforms.

Among the silhouettes of the singing guests, a powerful female singer appears. The key word is "Queen of Heaven."

And looking at the silhouettes of the singing guests, they do look like Qi Xiuna.

Although there is no clear answer, the audience has already determined that the singing guest is Qi Xiuna.

at the same time.

Mailin Records also responded positively and began to promote the collaboration between the King and Queen, pushing the gimmick to its peak.

Many viewers heard the news and their expectations were high.

[With the cooperation of kings and queens, this show is quite impressive. Needless to say, it is most likely Qi Xiuna. 】

[There are only a few powerful divas who are currently popular in the music industry. Zhang Huiying is already on the show, and basically it can only be Qi Xiuna. 】

[Tan Zhiguan and Qi Xiuna collaborate? Is this guy going to blow up this crappy variety show? 】

[It seems that King Tan has put his whole life's reputation on the line to win this championship. 】

[After all, he is the contemporary king. He was suppressed by Fang Xing for the first eleven issues, so he must be dissatisfied. 】

At this point in the preliminary publicity for the finals, the identities of the guests are actually about to be revealed.

On the Songshi Records side, things were even more tense.

Several meetings were held in a row to discuss song selection and guest singing.

"Fang Xing, have you decided who to invite? Tan Zhiguan's side basically has a clear name, and it's Qi Xiuna." Liang Yusong was a little anxious.

Now Songshi Records is on the rise and has formed a competitive relationship with Mailin Records.

If they are defeated by Merlin Records on "Sing Out Loud", the upward momentum may be interrupted.

Fang Xing replied: "I want to confirm the song first."

"What about the song? Which one are you going to sing?" Liang Yusong asked.

The management team and Songshi Music Production Department employees in the conference room were all looking at Fang Xing, wanting to know the answer.

"Because the theme this time, 'Those who love me and the people I love,' is actually very broad. There are many songs to choose from." Fang Xing actually has several alternative songs, but it still depends on what kind of singer he can find. Be a guest singer and then decide on the final song selection.

Liang Yusong nodded and said: "Yes, there are many songs to choose from for this theme. Most people's first reaction should be to sing love songs.

"Most love songs fit this theme. Therefore, this theme has a large scope, and the company has many songs to sing."

Fang Xing shook his head slowly and said, "Actually, this theme does not necessarily have to be 'love'. The people who love me and the people I love can express something more profound."

"What do you mean?" Liang Yusong frowned.

"I'm considering singing about family love." Fang Xing replied.

"Family love is also possible, and there are many songs that fit this theme. What about the guest singers? Do you have any ideas?" Liang Yusong asked.

"I'm thinking about Xie Yuwen. When I was recording "Singing" last year, I heard his singing live. He sang very well and was quite suitable." Fang Xing put forward his own idea.

Xie Yuwen is a first-line singer and a popular and powerful singer.

In last year's "Singing", the nouns in every competition were basically in the third or fourth place.

At first glance, ranking third or fourth does not sound very high.

However, as long as you know who the first and second place is, you will know that Xie Yuwen can get third or fourth place, which is quite good.

"Xie Yuwen, you can ask your agent to talk to Yuwen Entertainment, and you should be able to get one." Liang Yusong heard Fang Xing's idea and thought it was okay.

Although Xie Yuwen cannot compare with Queen Qi Xiuna in terms of celebrity status, his singing ability is actually worthy of her.

"Wait a minute. I'll give him a call after the meeting."

During the time of "Song", Fang Xing and Xie Yuwen got along pretty well.

After the filming of "Song" was completed, the two occasionally had contact.

Therefore, after the meeting, Fang Xing called Xie Yuwen and expressed that he wanted to invite him to be a guest singer.

Xie Yuwen agreed wholeheartedly and was very happy.

Fang Xing made an appointment to try singing with him first.

However, the next day, Xie Yuwen suddenly invited Fang Xing out for coffee. He expressed with a very embarrassed expression that he could not be a guest singer.

Fang Xing originally thought that his schedule couldn't be adjusted.

It is normal for singers and artists to have scheduling problems.

Fang Xing didn't care at first. Since he couldn't cooperate this time, he would cooperate next time if there was a chance.

However, looking at Xie Yuwen's expression, it was obvious that he wanted to be a guest singer, but his expression was very awkward.

When Fang Xing saw his appearance, he felt that there was something hidden behind this matter.

Xie Yuwen apologized repeatedly and said he was very embarrassed, but did not elaborate on the secret behind it.

Fang Xing didn't get to the bottom of it.

After returning to Songshi Records, I chatted with Liang Yusong and learned the real reason from him.

"That's it...it's not that Xie Yuwen doesn't want to help sing, it's that he can't."

Liang Yusong shook his head and smiled, and continued: "Actually, when I heard you said you wanted to find Xie Yuwen, I was a little doubtful at first.

"Because Xie Yuwen's company is Yuwen Entertainment, and the company is named after him. But when his contract with the original agency expired, he started a company and received investment from Hongda Capital.

"Hongda Capital has a mutual shareholding relationship with Pengcheng Capital.

"So, Pengcheng Capital also has influence on Yuwen Entertainment. Xie Yuwen must have asked the management for their opinion, so he couldn't help sing."

Fang Xing thought this was quite ridiculous: "I'm just a guest singer. Is it necessary to go to this extent?"

Liang Yusong laughed and said: "You may not know that Tan Zhiguan has been suppressed on the show, but he got angry in Mailin Records.

“Not only Tan Zhiguan, but Pengcheng Capital behind them is also very dissatisfied with the results.

“For capital, the most common method is to use all means to suppress its opponents.

"As long as it's not illegal, they can do anything. Restricting Xie Yuwen is nothing."

Fang Xing just felt that although Xie Yuwen was good at singing, he was only a first-tier male singer and his status was not as high as that of Qi Xiuna. This was a limitation, which was a little too much.

"Okay. If I can't invite Xie Yuwen, then I'll change the song." Fang Xing had originally thought of a song and planned to collaborate with Xie Yuwen.

Now Xie Yuwen has received restrictions from the capital behind him and cannot be a guest singer.

Then, you can only replace someone.

Since the people have been changed, let’s change the song.

Moreover, Fang Xing's temper increased.

I originally felt that there was no need to compete for first place in the first round of the finals.

As long as we can advance to the second round of competition, that's enough.

However, now that Fang Xing's temper was getting worse, he had nothing to say, so he used bigger moves in the first round.

"Change the song? No more singing about family love?" Liang Yusong asked.

"No, I still want to sing about family love..."

Fang Xing thought about it and asked, "Is it possible to invite a powerful singer from Xiangjiang?"

"Invite a singer from Xiangjiang? I know a few singers from Xiangjiang, but the relationship is not close." Liang Yusong frowned.

"That's right. Then I'll contact you about this."

Fang Xing did have connections in Xiangjiang.

"Wulin Gaiden" was once broadcast on Jade Channel in Xiangjiang, and won the ratings championship during the broadcast.

Therefore, Fang Xing has a good relationship with Wang Yulin, the deputy director of Jade Channel.

That afternoon.

Fang Xing called Wang Yulin and asked him to help recommend a Hong Kong singer with strong singing skills and abilities in all aspects.

When Wang Yulin heard about this, he immediately agreed.

This favor is not difficult to do, it is just to help introduce the singer.

Xiangjiang is not a big place. As the deputy director of Jade Channel, Wang Yulin can say that he can invite any Xiangjiang singer he wants to appear on the show by calling his name.

There are two main reasons why Fang Xing considered inviting Xiangjiang singers.

The first reason is that this time we plan to release a Cantonese song and invite Xiangjiang singers to sing, which will be more suitable in terms of language.

Secondly, no matter how long Pengcheng Capital’s hand is, it cannot reach Hong Kong.

Wang Yulin was very enthusiastic about helping and made an appointment with Hong Kong Lottery King Huang Anhua for dinner the next day.

Fang Xing was a little surprised when he saw Huang Anhua.

I originally thought that Wang Yulin would introduce a first-line singer in the Hong Kong music scene, but unexpectedly he invited Hong Kong Philharmonic King Huang Anhua directly.

Huang Anhua is considered a superstar of the older generation and is already fifty years old.

The era when he dominated the music scene was already twenty or thirty years ago.

In the past ten years, Huang Anhua's public appearances have significantly decreased.

The first is that the golden age of the Hong Kong Philharmonic has passed. In the past decade or so, there have been fewer and fewer popular Cantonese songs.

The classic Cantonese songs that people are familiar with are still those from twenty or thirty years ago.

Wong An-wah came all the way during that era and witnessed the golden era of the Hong Kong Philharmonic.

He is also over fifty, and he slowly calms down and enjoys life.

In terms of work, I basically take it according to my preferences.

Therefore, if he doesn't like "Singing Loudly" or doesn't like the song to be sung, he will decisively refuse.

Therefore, Wang Yulin just invited Huang Anhua out for dinner. Whether they can cooperate in the end depends on Fang Xing himself.

After all, when the king is a guest singer, it also depends on the environment.

If the songs he sings and the program he performs are inappropriate, Huang Anhua will definitely not be interested.

However, after Huang Anhua saw Fang Xing, he took the initiative to say hello: "I like your songs, especially "Men Should Be Strong", they are really amazing."

"Thank you, thank you." Fang Xing said a few words of humility.

The three of them chatted about the music industry and slowly talked about the guest singers.

"I haven't sung on TV for a long time. Does Mr. Fang really want me to be a guest singer?" Huang Anhua asked in a more formal tone.

Fang Xing is actually not sure yet. After all, whether there is a tacit understanding of the collaboration and whether the song is suitable are also very important.

"I want to cooperate with Teacher Huang. Otherwise, let's find a place and try the song. If it's suitable, just sing it and you'll know." Fang Xing made a suggestion.

Huang Anhua has been engaged in music for most of his life. His favorite way of doing things is to sing it directly. It is clear at a glance whether it is suitable or not.

Moreover, Fang Xing also wanted to confirm whether Huang Anhua could still sing.

Huang Anhua was the absolute king of the music industry in his peak period, but now that he is fifty years old, it is uncertain whether he is still in his prime.

"Okay. I like this method, then let's find a place to try singing." Huang Anhua agreed immediately.

Wang Yulin didn't expect that the two of them would get along so well, so he immediately said, "I'll arrange the place. Come directly to our stage. I'll set up the rehearsal room."

So, the three of them drove to the Jade Terrace headquarters.

Wang Yulin arranged a singing practice room.

Fang Xing picked up a guitar and played and sang a Cantonese song in front of Huang Anhua.

After singing, he said: "This is the song I prepared. I don't know what Teacher Huang thinks."

Huang Anhua looked a little excited and clapped vigorously: "Great, this song is great, I like this song. If nothing else, just because of this song, I agreed."

Although Fang Xing knew from the beginning that this song would definitely impress him, he didn't expect him to agree so readily, and he was still a little surprised.
