A bite of beef, a bite of mutton, and a bite of hot soup.
If you get tired of it, pick up green chrysanthemum or golden corn between two chopsticks.
Thinly sliced potato slices and lotus root slices are crispy and full of flavor when blanched until they are half-soft and half-crisp.
The sesame sauce and shacha sauce are both excellent dipping sauces. Wrap large pieces of meat and chew them in your mouth to get a mouthful of meaty aroma!
In the cold early spring, the three of them actually felt like they were sweating in the scorching heat of midsummer!
Even though they couldn't stand each other, they both thought the other was a licker. After opening their cheeks and eating meat, they gradually forgot about the threat the other posed to them.
In addition, Jiang Kan deliberately clinked glasses with the two of them and drank sour plum soup and Coke, making the atmosphere in the room more and more lively.
The meal was a feast for both the guests and the host, and even the guests were a little tipsy without drinking any alcohol.
He knew very well what these two people meant. Firstly, he thanked himself for writing good songs for them. Secondly, he hoped to have a good relationship with himself, and then he would think of them when he wrote songs in the future.
This is no problem. It’s a good thing for young people to want to make progress, and it’s not like they don’t give money or share.
Moreover, not every song given to them by the system is suitable for them to sing. There will always be songs suitable for them when the time comes.
In the entertainment industry, the more friends the better. Can those who always emphasize their independence and isolation be able to thrive?
Maybe some superstars have this possibility.
But as a newcomer in the music industry, I don’t want to live alone.
After this meal, there is only one day left for the holiday.
Jiang Kan spent this day having a good sleep, tidying up the house, and doing a big cleaning so that he could welcome the new year with a new look.
"The main focus of my work this month is "Good Singer". I have to decide first what song to use for the competition!"
Sitting on the large sofa, looking at the brand new home, Jiang Kan's thoughts have begun to shift towards work.
Because the rules of the show only allow each singer to sing one of his own old songs in the first round, and in subsequent rounds, he will either sing other singers’ old songs or sing his own new songs, so the song selection strategy is still It must be studied carefully.
The key is how to choose your first round of competition songs.
You have released about seven or eight songs since your debut. Which song should you choose?
Jiang Kan held his chin in his hands and thought for a long time.
"Just choose "Someone Like Me". Everything for me started with this song. It is also the song that best represents my identity as a singer and has the deepest impression on my fans."
Thinking of the first time he went to Kuanzhai Alley to set up a stall and sell songs, and the applause and cheers of those lovely customers when he sang this song in the tavern, Jiang Kan himself did not notice that the corners of his mouth had already outlined An upturned arc.
Feiyang Entertainment's Spring Festival holiday ends on March 8th, and this day happens to be the closing day of Xia Country's first online song contest.
To everyone's surprise, the response caused by this competition among the people was so great that it was heard in the streets and everyone knew about it!
Not to mention how much the brainwashing square dance song "Two Butterflies" gave dancing aunts across the country more talk and dance moves, nor how popular Jiang Kan's "Mouse Loves Rice" became in major supermarkets and milk teas. Stores, tuck shops, beauty shops and hair salons’ playlists...
Just the re-emergence of non-mainstream songs with magical titles, exaggerated lyrics and magical melodies has also shocked the entire traditional music industry, and they have more or less added various elements into their newly created songs. Few elements of online songs were incorporated, gradually triggering a nostalgic music trend.
And there are also many amateurs who were originally unknown, but became famous because of this competition and became a blockbuster!
They may be those inconspicuous people in everyone's life
Classmates, colleagues, white-collar workers, migrant workers, it may be a courier boy who comes and goes in rain or shine, or it may be Tony the master in a hair salon full of broken hair, or it may be a corner of a noisy and crowded vegetable market. A meaty pork guy might also be a personable university professor or elementary school teacher.
Through this competition, they discovered that they, who originally thought they were ordinary, could actually receive so much praise and have the opportunity to stand out.
For this reason, this program is affectionately called the "Internet Dream Machine". After all, many people have realized their music dreams through this program.
Countless amateurs have been discovered. They all have a beautiful desire for music dreams, or have hired professional managers, or asked their parents, or come in person, to the host of the competition, Hunan Satellite TV. In the office, he signed a song copyright transfer agreement with them and made a large amount of windfall that he had never imagined.
At the same time, there are many talent scouts and reporters waiting outside the office door. The former is lobbying these promising stars, hoping to persuade them to join their company.
The latter holds a camera and video camera to record every move of every lucky person who is either happy and excited, or indifferent and deep, or in tears, or roaring with joy, as a record for tomorrow and even for a long time to come. News material.
Jiang Kan also signed a song transfer agreement with them for "Mouse Loves Rice" worth up to 1.535 million yuan, and also received a bonus of 500,000 yuan for the first place in the competition.
He also received a commercial performance contract worth 800,000, inviting him to perform this song twice.
In other words, Jiang Kan made a one-time pre-tax cash income of 2.835 million yuan from this song, which he never expected at the beginning.
Not to mention the rising fame that this song has brought to him. Now even the uncles and aunts in the streets know that someone like him can make a lot of money and win a lot.
The second place "Two Butterflies" not only brought Wang Yuchang the title of "Women's Friend", but also provided Jiang Kan, the songwriter, with a copyright share of approximately 800,000 yuan.
However, this is not his greatest achievement.
The biggest gain comes from the act of providing Wang Yuchang with the song "Two Butterflies"!
Singers, managers and music companies across the country have all discovered that Jiang Kan is really able to make people popular without missing a beat!
Look at his own "Missing Someone Like Me", which transformed him from an ordinary person that no one has ever heard of to number five on the new artist and new song list in November.
The song "I'll Love You Even If You Die" completely elevated the rising newcomer Wang Yuchang to the highest position among newcomers - No. 1 on the Rookie Championship List in December, making him the veritable Rookie King of the Year!
Ling Buwei also achieved his magnificent transformation from a folk talent show singer to an officially signed singer with his "Jiangnan".
Even the brilliant singer Mu Zhidan, who was faced with having no songs to sing and almost missed out on the December new artist and new song list, was promoted to the fifth place by his song "You Get Me Drunk".
Not to mention the song "Two Butterflies", which made Wang Yuchang shine in online songs and became the runner-up winner after his creator!
This is a super songwriter who makes everyone famous!
It can be said that whoever can get Jiang Kan's song is equivalent to getting an opportunity that will definitely become a hit!
Let me ask, who can not love such a gold medal songwriter?
"Brother Kan, how do you feel about becoming the first place winner in the first online singer competition?"
In the elevator of the company the next day, Jiang Kan met Zhang Lingling, who was beaming and beaming.
"Not bad...Why do you look so good? Is there any happy event?"
Jiang Kan also asked curiously.
Zhang Lingling did not go back to her hometown during the holidays and has been handling some affairs related to her singers in Chengdu. What on earth could make her so happy?
"Hey, I have some good news for you!"
"Thanks to you and Wang Yuchang, I made a huge commission this time!"
"Hahahaha, plus this time the company was very generous and gave me a year-end bonus that exceeded my expectations. Now I have finally saved enough down payment and bought the first thing in my life in Chengdu two days ago. It’s my first house!”
The two of them walked out of the elevator. Zhang Lingling couldn't help laughing as she walked, causing people around her to look at her frequently.
"Congratulations!"
Jiang Kan was shocked when he heard this!
This little piece is pretty good!
I just bought a Z4, and now I immediately bought a house. I achieved half of my life goals in an instant. I am truly worthy of being one of Feiyang Entertainment’s gold medal agents!
"Thank you~ But I also really want to thank you, Brother Kan, for your extraordinary speed in making money. Since I signed you, my income has really been rising in the past few months, just like riding a rocket!"
Isn't that right? In the past few months, with Jiang Kan's involvement in the music world, he has really stirred up the music industry like a catfish. With these good songs and his own good voice, he himself has made great achievements. earned a lot.
"Hey, you're welcome~ Who among us is following whom?"
Jiang Kan waved his hand and said there was no need to be polite to him. If Zhang Lingling hadn't valued him so much before, maybe he would still be selling and singing at different scenic spots and street stalls, struggling to accumulate popularity?
Or perhaps, he bit the bullet and joined Guangguang Entertainment, which had very harsh conditions for him at the time, and now he is just an unknown behind-the-scenes creator.
Feiyang, the second largest entertainment company in the Xia Kingdom, is really rare in the country for its ability to praise people!
"Okay, the next focus of our work is "Xia Guo Good Singer". We have to sort out the competition strategy for this time..."
After the two of them went back to their workstations and put down their backpacks, they went to a small unoccupied conference room and started discussing the work plan for the new year.
"Have you chosen your first entry song?"
As usual, Zhang Lingling poured Jiang Kan a cup of coffee with sugar and poured herself a cup of sugar-free coffee.
Girls, lose weight all the time.
"You've chosen, use "Someone Like Me"."
Jiang Kan didn't hesitate and directly said the title of the song.
""Missing Someone Like Me"?"
Zhang Lingling's hand holding the coffee cup paused, and her big eyes rolled a few times in their sockets.
"It's good. Using this song from when you first entered the industry is used to awaken everyone's first memories of you. It's both nostalgic and a tribute."
She sat down gracefully and put the cup in her hand on the table.
"The first song of "Good Singer" allows singers to use their own old songs. This is the same idea. It can awaken the audience's most classic memory of the singer and help them quickly integrate into the competition environment. Go into the atmosphere.”
After all, Zhang Lingling is an experienced manager. She has led many singers to participate in various variety shows before, and she is very familiar with the competition rules and key points of these shows.
After all, this song was originally ranked fifth in November. Considering the qualifications of a singer who had only been in the industry for 20 days, it was groundbreaking and left a very deep impression on many people.
The reason why he did not use his best-selling song "Chengdu" is because most songs named after local cities are not widely recognized by the national audience.
"Gong Xi Fa Cai" is not used because it is a Chinese New Year song with inherent time constraints. It would appear nondescript if used in a variety show competition.
Although "Mouse Loves Rice" also has impressive sales, it is an online song after all, and it is also not suitable for a slightly more formal and serious variety show like "Xia Guo Good Singer".
Therefore, from a strategic point of view, there is no problem in choosing "Someone Like Me" as the introduction song.
And this song is still at No. 58 on the best-selling song list, and has been downloaded a terrifying 1.8 million times.
Kan's popularity continues to rise, and he continues to gain new fans.
"What about the songs in the second and third rounds? Have you ever thought about what to sing?"
Zhang Lingling took a sip of hot coffee and asked Jiang Kan curiously.
"This, haha, I have thought about it, but it is still too far away after all. Let's sing the first round well first..."
Jiang Kan picked his slightly raised nose with his index finger and said rather embarrassedly.
This show is a veritable meat grinder for singers. No matter how famous a singer you are, how classic your works and how popular you are, you are very likely to overturn in the competition and become a loser before you realize the reason.
When the first episode of this program was first born, many participating singers did not realize this. They chose songs very casually and did not do enough preparation work. They did not realize what kind of program they were participating in. .
Everyone thinks this is just an ordinary variety show where you can sing and show your face, and then you can easily get a good ranking with the votes of your fans.
Unexpectedly, after coming up, there would be a lot of surprises. Either there was a problem with the song selection, or the ranking in the previous competition was too low and I couldn't control my emotions well in the second competition. Or, because of the order of appearance, I encountered a strong opponent. I just stopped singing my own song...
Think about it, if everyone is singing happy songs, love songs or inspirational songs, and you suddenly sing a bitter and resentful song...
What will the audience see and think? Their joyful mood that had been sustained was suddenly interrupted by you. The excitement that had been so high before was completely unable to change from joy to sorrow in the few minutes you sang, and then resonated with you emotionally...
Will they give your song a valuable vote? Will your song do well?
In terms of the order of competition, if a singer has just performed a hit song with a lot of singing and dancing, the emotions of all the audience will be aroused very high and they will be very high. After the song ends, they will be a little exhausted and their emotions will be vented enough. .
And you also sing the same genre as him, and you also have hot hits that are full of singing and dancing. Do you think these audiences are still excited? Will I continue to sing, dance and move with you?
Or the person in front is a very powerful A-list celebrity, or even a superstar-level singer. After they have just finished singing, you will be on stage behind them...
Will you, who is already very good, be made to look like a poor imitator, trying to imitate you on the stage and pretending to be fake?
These are one of the reasons why this show is called the "Meat Grinder for Singers". New competing singers who join the show will be crushed to nothing if not careful, and they will be knocked back to their original form.
Whether or not you can win the final victory is naturally closely related to your strength, but luck and strategy are also very important components. It does not mean that the bigger the singer will naturally get the better ranking, otherwise it will be nothing compared to anything else. Just rank them according to their number of fans.
So after studying this competition system for a long time, Jiang Kan decided to play it slow. Although he had many songs to choose from, he still had to choose the next song based on the specific situation at that time.
"It's good. Brother Kan, you have such an awareness. I think your results in this competition will definitely be good."
Zhang Lingling was also very happy and gave a thumbs up, giving a big thumbs up to the singer she represented for her wisdom in life.
