Park Sung-yeon rarely accepts variety shows other than music programs, and there are no casting announcements. His current status is obviously directly related to his singing skills.
Although he does not have the title of King of Heaven, he has produced countless works in the past 20 years. He has not received a nickname like "Emperor of Love Songs". This is also related to his dislike of publicity and self-discipline.
It can be seen from this that just with a good voice, he can rush to the front line in one fell swoop. How powerful this person is.
But such a strong singer actually lost to a newcomer like Jin Xishan. The reason can only be found in today's competition songs.
Jin Xishan understood Liu Qingshan's conscious expression, "It is indeed a fluke to win Brother Shengyan. Your song selection also took a lot of advantage, but I will never agree with your point of view!"
Liu Qingshan laughed loudly, "It doesn't matter whether you agree or not, the facts are there anyway, but I would like to remind you that the eliminated singer may not have a chance to return. Wait until he appears on this show again one day Here, it will be difficult for you to win!"
His words shocked many people. Even the host had never heard of such competition rules.
So, Jin Jidong immediately raised his question.
Liu Qingshan explained with a smile: "'The King of Masked Singer' is my idea. During the subsequent recordings, the program team will decide whether to bring back a certain singer based on the audience's online off-site voting." Museum, which means that he may not go through the masked singing process again, and will directly compete with the new singer king of a certain period live!"
He had put forward a similar point of view when he received the invitation. There were no selfish thoughts in it, but he simply wanted to help the program team improve the quality of the competition.
Moreover, there will be no guarantee that there will be controversial judgments in the elimination round. In order to satisfy the feedback of the fans of the eliminated people, the director team will of course happily accept such humanized suggestions.
The reason why he chose to speak out at this time was not only because he had a good impression of Park Sung-yeon, but also to protect Jin Xishan.
There is another one. He does not think that Park Sung-yeon is a duckweed with no foundation in the music industry. It is not impossible to force his way to the top based on strength alone, but it is definitely minimal. In addition to luck, timing, and being appreciated, the foundation of connections It is also a threshold that cannot be bypassed.
No matter how good Jin Xishan is as an actress, she is still a newcomer in the music industry. He does not want to plant any hidden dangers for her future career because of a competition.
Moreover, he knew that this person was still on the TV station at this time, so he chose to speak out at this time because he wanted to express his goodwill to him from the side.
Since he said so, the program team will naturally focus on this person. Isn't Liu Qingshan's kindness just a personal favour?
As soon as the recording ended that night, the two people who were still sitting in the car received a call from Shi Hui. This time, since their identities had been exposed, there was no need to continue to hide their presence.
The content of the call was about the "King of Masked Singer" that was still playing, including the old English song "When a man loves a woman" sung by Liu Qingshan. The relevant video had been uploaded in a very short period of time. to the Internet.
Therefore, it is natural to cause a sensation on the Internet, especially in Europe and the United States. This legendary classic has been perfectly sung again, and the singer is Liu Qingshan. Guided by the good reputation passed down by word of mouth, it has been recognized in a short time. , as the main information collector of the team, Shi Hui must of course report it as soon as possible.
"The key thing is that the descendants of the deceased artist have come forward and said that they want to submit your cover to the Hollywood "Billboard" annual awards ceremony preparation team. Being on the list is secondary, the important thing is to let You have a chance to attend the annual Billboard Awards!"
Before Liu Qingshan showed much, Jin Xishan took a breath of cold air first, "The Billboard Awards is very important. You call Qingyu as soon as possible and ask her to contact Wallace, and we can find channels to help you pay attention." Let’s talk about this!”
Fang Qingyu is the head of Xueyu North America Branch, and Mike Wallace has countless connections. The two of them are indeed the best candidates.
Liu Qingshan nodded and asked on the phone: "Did you see this from the forum?"
"There is also Smith's phone number. He called you before but didn't get through, so he found me directly! He and his Wish Band have received an invitation to sing the song "Sugar" at the opening ceremony!"
"The purpose of him looking for me is to inform me about this award ceremony?"
"What else could there be, but he also said that he heard the news that you were going to Seattle, and the awards ceremony happened to be scheduled for the last day of February, at the MGM Grand Hotel in Las Vegas. "
Hearing this, Liu Qingshan couldn't help but laugh, "I'm going to Los Angeles at the end of February to help Lao Guo perform. It's not too far from Las Vegas, so it's just right!"
"It's appropriate, but you have to get an invitation first. As far as I know, not many singers from non-English-speaking areas want to get invitations, so don't mention any performance opportunities."
"Okay, I've already taken care of this. Let's talk about it in detail when we get back!"
The Billboard Awards is actually a music award hosted by the well-known music magazine "Billboard" in the United States. It is different from the Grammy Awards and other awards that determine the winner through voting. The Billboard Music Awards is determined by physical record and download sales, single sales , radio on-demand volume, tour box office revenue and other data to generate the list.
The final winner is determined based on year-end chart performance, with awards presented to the winner in each music genre.
But don’t underestimate this magazine. The only one that can bring the best European and American pop music stars in the world to have fun together is probably the Billboard Awards besides the Grammys.
It stands to reason that he has already had several songs on the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart, and even reached the top of the list for several weeks.
But the biggest shortcoming is that he has not released a record so far. However, there is a "Best Single Chart Artist" award. If it is taken seriously based on the results of those songs, he will also have the opportunity to directly obtain a place to participate.
It's just that since the descendants of the late black singer who are far away in Los Angeles are running for his place, they have obviously heard the news that is not good for him.
After all, he is only a part-time singer, and he rarely stays in Europe and the United States. If you include his opponents who are hiding in the dark and deliberately cause harm, it is not surprising that he did not receive an invitation from the program team.
Moreover, his Chinese identity has always been a target of strict protection in Western countries in Europe and the United States. Even if he has other abilities, it is indeed reasonable for him to be excluded from a highly professional music awards ceremony.
But for him, it is still very important to have this invitation. The focus of his future development is Europe and the United States. If he does not make a bigger name in the entertainment industry there in advance, the shift of business focus in the future will cost more effort. .
Moreover, this award ceremony has always been the benchmark for the Grammy Awards. Generally, the winners in this award are the most popular singers or albums of the year, and it is also the criterion for the Grammy Awards.
The Grammys are the most professional, the Billboard is the most popular, and the American Awards are the most national. These are the three most influential music awards platforms in the world, and they are deeply connected with each other.
In fact, he values the first two more. The Grammy Awards are more grand and historic. All the attendees are high-level figures, and those who win awards will be honored for life.
The bulletin board is a trend vane, famous for its ranking index, and represents the future traffic era.
Compared with the former, only Billboard has the most hope for him, so whether he can get involved in this award is still unavoidable for Liu Qingshan.
So after taking Shi Hui's call, Liu Qingshan did not call Fang Qingyu immediately, but directly found Smith.
Smith has actually arrived in Los Angeles and started rehearsing for the opening ceremony as early as yesterday.
"Mr. Liu, after I came here, I got a lot of information about you. Although it is a bit scattered, it can be judged that someone seems to be doing some blocking actions against you!"
"Is there any clear evidence?"
"No, but many of my local colleagues have received requests to belittle your music, but many of them refused!"
"I noticed the words you used. They are not orders, instructions or the like. Those who meet the requirements can only be pressured by brands that have financial dealings with their peers?"
"Yes, Mr. Liu, their brokerage company did not speak, but came from some business partners! Of course, after being rejected on the spot, many people did not get detailed information about the conditions for further suppression, but there is still one point Clues come from the mouths of certain people, for example, they will not ask you to publicly question your music, but you will express your disdain or disdain in a public place where some music lovers gather."
"Such an obvious and inferior method? Didn't they realize that this clue could easily be detected by me?"
"In the early days, it did seem to be full of loopholes, so several of us speculated that their ultimate goal may be to spread this kind of bad market feedback through the fan groups of certain singers or producers. Once it is formed, If the scale is too high, even if you can find something from all the clues, at least you will have missed the Billboard Awards!"
"Well, sometimes the simplest way to smear is the most direct marketing method. This kind of crude method that seems not worth mentioning can really delay at least some time and prevent you from receiving a lawyer's letter!"
"Mr. Liu, my information source is in the first stage. Although no one who prays has received similar requests, we always have some trustworthy friends who are secretly helping!"
Liu Qingshan nodded secretly, praying that the band was the first friend he had made in the same industry. Although the team members seemed to be unrestrained and full of personality, they were all adults and were fully aware of the conflicts between people. Hazardous.
Especially those in the industry pay more attention to the positive orientation of public opinions. Even a small negative rumor may eventually turn into a torrent that ends the acting career.
Therefore, many colleagues are cautious like the Wish Band and are not easily tricked.
