"Hey guys, good news~ Uncle Kan has released a new song!"
In the "Uncle Kan Hardcore Fan Club" group, one of the group members got confused.
Then, someone quickly replied to him:
"New song? What's the title? I'll download it right away and support Uncle Kan!"
"It's called "Moonlight Serenade", and it's a Cantonese song. Let's promote it to our friends around us and help Uncle Kan climb the charts!"
"Okay, got it!"
""Cantonese Song"? I happen to be from Lingnan, so I must support this wave!"
"It's already the 5th today and Uncle Kan just released a song. It's very bad for the new song chart!"
"What's the disadvantage? Uncle Kan is supposed to be preparing for the main competition of "The Voice of Trend"! As you all know, this program only allows singing the top 20 songs on the new song list this month. Uncle Kan, this is Prepare ammunition for yourself!"
"Yes, it's just a few days late. Uncle Kan's production must be a masterpiece. When the main competition starts, this song will definitely explode with huge energy!"
"Brothers, I have downloaded it, it sounds so damn good!"
"Yes, I listened to it too. Uncle Kan's Cantonese songs are really good. There are no problems except for a little bit of non-standard pronunciation. I got goosebumps when I heard it!"
"@君君, do you want us to do a few more street performances to help promote Uncle Kan?"
"It's a pity that school is already on summer vacation, otherwise I would have to hold another solo concert in school to help Uncle Kan promote this song!"
"Speaking of "The Voice of Trend", which competition area is Uncle Kan participating in this time? What song is he singing?"
"The preliminary round will not be broadcast to the public. There are too many participants to record. However, in the rematch, Shashi TV will film it in every competition area. Everyone will know then!"
"Everyone, please work hard these days to help Uncle Kan promote "Wukong" and "Midnight Serenade". I estimate that Uncle Kan will sing these two songs in the two weeks after August 15th!"
"Copy that! Everyone, please spread the word!"
Whenever Jiang Kan releases a new song, it is a day of celebration for everyone in the "Uncle Kan Hardcore Fan Club" group.
The people who claim to be Jiang Kan's number one fan group were personally invited by Jiang Kan to visit Feiyang Entertainment, and had a very memorable close-up interaction with the band singing, which is the most worthy of pride and pride for the group of friends. thing.
Their guess was correct. Jiang Kan finally asked Zhang Lingling to help arrange for the release of "Half Moon Serenade" on the 5th in order to sing his song in the main competition of "The Voice of Trend" two weeks at the end of the month.
As expected by everyone, Jiang Kan is no longer the unknown newcomer he was when he first debuted. A large number of media and reporters have long been watching his every move, and big moves like the release of his new song are the first time he has released a new song. There was a lot of coverage at once.
The senior leaders of Feiyang Entertainment all know that Chairman Jin has a favor for this middle-aged newcomer for some reason, so as long as Jiang Kan's songs are released, they are the top publicity resources for A-list singers. In one day, Xia Guo A dozen large-scale media outlets in China have been arranged to promote the song, and overnight the song has reached the ears of thousands of households.
"Hey, Brother Kan, do you know what other colleagues in the company say about you?"
On the phone, Zhang Lingling finished reporting to Jiang Kan and then started chatting.
"Oh? What did they say?"
Jiang Kan also asked curiously. He had not been to the Magic City headquarters yet and didn't know what the people there thought of him.
"They all said that Dong Jin has fallen in love with you, a handsome guy and a talented guy, and wants to introduce you to his goddaughter Zhao Yu and Zhao Tianhou as her husband, so that's why he is so interested in you!"
Zhang Lingling felt a little sad when she said this. What kind of identity is Zhao Yu? She is not only a diva who transcends all singers, but also the goddaughter of the chairman of the giant Feiyang...
If Jin Dong really has the intention to connect Brother Kan and Zhao Yu, how can he, a small deputy minister, argue with her...
Suddenly, Zhang Lingling's mood was like a large dark cloud floating in the summer sky, and she suddenly became uneasy.
She was anxiously waiting for Jiang Kan's reply on the phone, hoping to hear Jiang Kan say something nonchalantly that he didn't mean.
"Haha, they actually said that? Hey, Zhao Tianhou and I are just working together. Forming a group does not mean there is any relationship between men and women. They really think too much!"
When Jiang Kan heard this, his first reaction was that it was funny, why are these people so gossipy?
The second reaction was that it was understandable for them to think this way. After all, the man was unmarried and the woman was unmarried. They were both musicians of about the same age, and they were in a group together. It was understandable that they would have such an idea.
"Oh, let me just say, they must be overthinking, hahahaha~"
When Zhang Lingling heard this, she breathed a sigh of relief. She suddenly felt like dark clouds were blown away by the wind, and large swaths of sunshine fell on the ground again. The sun was bright and the birds were chirping. She was so happy that she wanted to sing a song on the spot.
"Yeah, but this time, I still feel a bit of a loss after delaying the release of the song for five days, but it shouldn't be a problem to break into the top twenty before the end of the month, right?"
"It's definitely no problem. Brother Kan, your songs have always been of high quality. The company has also arranged top-notch promotion resources for top-tier singers for you, and you rushed to it in an instant!" "
Zhang Lingling, who was in a happy mood, was not worried about Jiang Kan's performance at this time. The song "Moonlight Serenade" is of such high quality that anyone who is not deaf can hear its extraordinary quality. Coupled with the company's strong promotion...
If they can't even break into the top 20 before the end of the month, the Big Three might as well just call themselves the Big Two.
"Hahaha, does this count as a competition? If you send in a song for the judges to review, does it count as passing?"
In a high-end residence in the United States, Pete looked at the email on the computer screen marked "Congratulations on passing the preliminary review of "Voice of Trend"!" He was in a happy mood, but also smiled with a hint of disdain.
I submitted the manuscript in a daze before and never thought about it again.
But today I suddenly received an email from the competition organizing committee. Although I was very disdainful, I was still very happy.
After all, Janice said that this show was prepared by the producer of the show she participated in before, and its influence in Xia Country will definitely be very great, so she should not take it lightly.
"Hey, for the rematch, you have to go to Xia Kingdom and sing in front of the judges? It's really troublesome. Why can't you participate online?"
The handsome young man curled his lips and subconsciously straightened his well-tended short blond hair that stood upright, grumbling on his lips.
"It seems that I can only go to Xia Kingdom once. I wonder if I can meet any beautiful foreign love there?"
He picked up his cell phone and called his agent.
Agent Gate was very supportive of his decision. He was the first to learn from his connections that Xia Guo was about to host such a show, so he disclosed it to his clients.
After all, everyone knows that the competition between American and European singers has entered a fierce stage. In the far Far East, Xia Guo, Fusang and Nanguo, they can gain a lot of fans and attention with their world-leading music concepts. It is relatively easy to make money.
"Okay, now that I have decided to go, let's choose a song and practice it first. Although I can kill all opponents instantly with my singing voice, there is an old saying in the Xia Kingdom that "Be prepared before anything happens." It's better to be prepared. a little. "
At least Peter wasn't so arrogant that he just went up and sang without any preparation, so he clicked on the competition rules sent by the organizing committee and read them again patiently.
"Song selection must be based on this month's new song rankings? This rule is really strange. What if the song I sing is still on the list this week but not next week? The organizing committee still needs to do more Strengthen the modification of some rule loopholes!"
While chattering to himself, Peter clicked on Xia Country's largest music website - Feixing Music Network
, and then clicked on the "New Song Ranking of the Month" on the homepage.
"...What kind of songs are they? They have no aesthetic taste and no artistic value..."
More than an hour later, Pete, who had patiently listened to all the songs on the top twenty charts, took off the headphones that were causing pain in his ears and lay down on the sofa while rubbing his ears.
"Only "When Will the Bright Moon Come" has an oriental flavor, and the singing is also very good. Although I can't understand the lyrics, it is said to be the work of a famous writer in ancient Xia Dynasty. I could have heard this song I did some research, but it’s a song sung by a female voice..."
He picked out his ears with his fingers and said regretfully.
"And this, what's "Wukong"? It has the tone of a Xiaguo opera. I like this feeling. Hey, it's finally sung by a man this time, so I'll sing this song!"
As he spoke, Pete clicked on a translation website, then copied and pasted the lyrics of "Wukong" for translation.
"TeooeeMlkyay, aelogroalog,
Teaokeeraay,aeolaryaofaeaay;"
"Oh, so that's what the lyrics mean. It's quite interesting. It's just that the pronunciation of Xia's Mandarin is really troublesome. Why don't they sing songs written in our Mi language? They are really behind the times..."
Pete kept mumbling, and found a special website that can read and enter text, and put the lyrics of "Wukong" into it.
After all, the singing in the song changes the pronunciation of the words in pitch, length, and pronunciation. He needs to first understand what the correct pronunciation of the lyrics in Xia dialect is like before he can imitate it.
It has to be said that although as an Omi person who claims to be at the center of the music world, he has always looked down on Xia Guo's songs, but in terms of the singer's professionalism and dedication, he can win the best new artist in the United States in 2022. He still did quite well in the Singer Award.
"Brother Kan, have you received the email from the organizing committee? Your rematch is on Sunday this week at the Tianhe Grand Theater in Yangcheng!"
After Zhang Lingling received the notice from the organizing committee, she immediately called Jiang Kan and informed him not to forget to participate in the semi-finals when the time came.
"Ha, I saw it, I won't forget it."
On the sofa at home, Jiang Kan was looking at the emails on the laptop on the table while talking to Zhang Lingling.
"It's a pity that we don't know who the judges are in the Xia Nan region, nor do we know their preferences and tastes in songs..."
Jiang Kan scratched his itchy cheek with his fingers, and sighed with regret.
The coconut wind that already has a tropical flavor blows in from the window, sometimes opening the white screen window, sometimes blowing the wind chimes hanging by the window, making a crisp sound of "ding bells", a breath of summer Jiang Kan, who was bathing in it, seemed to recall the feeling when he first arrived in Yangcheng more than ten years ago.
"This is also a measure that the organizing committee has to take in order to make the competition fair. Do you think, if everyone knows who the judges are, wouldn't it be easier to find connections? Meet the judges in private and make an agreement. It’s such a greeting term, so the uniformly numbered song file names prepared by the organizing committee and the partition during the rematch are useless?”
Zhang Lingling understands the organizing committee's approach very well. All judges have signed confidentiality contracts with them and are absolutely not allowed to reveal their identity as judges.
Even if they recruit their own assistants as song review tools, they must make an agreement with them. Whoever's assistant leaks the identity of the judges will be expelled from the judging panel.
Even when we went to each competition area for the semi-finals, the organizing committee arranged five completely soundproof cubicles on the judges' side of the semi-final room!
The five judges must enter the five compartments from five different entrances and at different times in a very confidential manner to participate in the rematch!
In other words, even among the judges, there is no
Find out exactly which judges are on this show!
Anyway, everything is made mysterious, because it is an original variety show and there is nothing to imitate, so Director Huang Shengcai and Producer Jiang Linlin are not afraid of anyone accusing them of unnecessary efforts. They can participate if they are willing to abide by the rules. It's that simple.
Therefore, this time, these amateurs and first-tier singers in Xia Kingdom are so eager for this program.
They sincerely believe that the organizing committee, which has held the "Xia Guo Good Singer" for three times, can treat them fairly and justly. They believe that there will be no such kind of connections or fraud during the competition.
This is also one of the reasons why Shashi TV asked Huang and Jiang to host this show together again. Although the two people are a bit venomous and mean, in terms of fairness, there is really no way to say that.
"Haha, of course I know this. I also participated because of their fairness. Who would want to join a program with constant shady stories?"
Jiang Kan expressed his understanding and that he had made sufficient preparations for this competition. "Wukong" and "Moon Serenade" were his carefully prepared sure-fire moves after reaching the finals.
Although he is not afraid of singing other people's songs, after all, singing his own songs has a home field advantage.
But before that, he had to go through the process and pass the semi-finals. Both Zhang Lingling and himself believed that passing the semi-finals was just a piece of cake.
"But, what song should I sing in the rematch? Those two songs are reserved for the finals...Xiao Zhang, do they allow the contestants to sing the same songs in the rematch as they did in the preliminary round?"
