It was five o'clock in the afternoon, half an hour before the show officially started.
All the contestants who came to participate in the show were rehearsing and practicing with the band teacher in the recording studio. Only Yao Yanyan was sure that she was fine after practicing two or three times, and her strong confidence and attitude were revealed. With ease.
However, in comparison, the expressions of the band teachers she worked with and Shao Xinxin, who was about to participate in the show with her, seemed a little tangled.
Especially Shao Xinxin, her speechless expression was written directly on her face, and her eyes were frequently looking at Yao Yanyan, but she hesitated to speak several times.
When the two of them walked out of the recording studio, Shao Xinxin was about to say something when a woman walked up to him and asked.
"Yanyan, are you sure you want to sing this song?"
This woman appears to be in her thirties, wearing a skirt and a high ponytail. Her eyes are very sharp under the rimless glasses, and she gives off an aggressive aura when she speaks.
Her name is Feng Nan, one of the agents of Shao Hong Entertainment, and looking at the entire Shao Hong Entertainment and even the entertainment company, she is quite famous - this is not because of her professional ability, but because of the artists she leads Everyone knows how to make a living.
It is true that as a professional agent, Feng Nan has a very high professional level. Although he is only in his thirties now, he can be regarded as a leader in the entire industry.
But for such an agent, she spent most of her time sitting on the bench. Until ten days ago, the company was about to arrange an agent for Yao Yanyan. Out of their fancy for Yao Yanyan, they took He showed Yao Yanyan the information of all the available agents in the company, and in the end Yao Yanyan chose Feng Nan.
It is said that Feng Nan worked in a brokerage company after graduating from college in his twenties. During this period, he worked for several companies. During this period, he brought a total of twelve artists, and without exception, he brought the artists with him. reached heights they had never reached before.
Judging from this approach, Feng Nan can be called a legend in the industry, but the fact is just the opposite. Those artists don't know what is wrong with them, and they often start to expose some embarrassing things not long after they become famous. The dark history of human numb claws.
For example, a young and beautiful female artist became famous due to her cute appearance and sweet personality, and was even regarded as a new generation of entertainment goddess. However, not long after she became popular, it was exposed that Zeng Zhi was the third person. As a result, her reputation exploded, and fans' anger overwhelmed her like a tsunami. From then on, she was removed from the entertainment industry.
Another example is a handsome and capable male artist. His development has been smooth. Under the leadership of Feng Nan, he has quickly reached the pinnacle of his life. In his twenties, he has already become famous as a first-line artist. At this time, it was revealed that he was having an affair with his best friend's wife. As soon as this came out, his popularity plummeted, and he could never recover from it.
Similar things have happened to Feng Nan more than ten times. This agent obviously has a good professional level and has made outstanding achievements in the professional field, but he just has a bad reputation, so that no matter whether he is a newcomer The old artists didn't dare to let her take the lead. They even trembled when they heard her name. They always felt that there was something wrong with her.
Even Feng Nan felt that he might not be suitable for this industry. He originally thought about resigning by the end of the year, but he didn't want a tough newcomer to name him as his agent. Moreover, this newcomer It’s Yao Yanyan who has been in the limelight recently.
This rekindled Feng Nan's despair. She wanted to work harder before quitting the industry, because it was her life's dream to become a world-class superstar, and she felt that Yao Yanyan did not have the qualifications. This strength, but if you include Qin Luo behind Yao Yanyan, then it is not a big problem.
So she resolutely took on this job - but what she never expected was that Yao Yanyan caught her off guard in the first shot of her debut, and the reason was because of the song Yao Yanyan chose.
"Sister Nan, do you think this song is not good to listen to?" Yao Yanyan asked.
Feng Nan frowned and commented: "It's not a question of whether it sounds good or not. I've been in the industry for so long and I've listened to a lot of songs of all types. There's nothing wrong with your song sounding good, but...but it's It’s a slobbery song with no connotation.”
After a pause, she continued to add: "Of course, there is a precedent for "Learning to Meow", and I do not deny that this song may have commercial value, but Yanyan, you also need to know that we are now in Participate in a show, and it’s also an original-themed show.”
"Although this song agrees with the program's song selection rules, you also have to think about why the program uses 'original' as a gimmick? Isn't it just hoping that the contestants can sing those beautiful lyrics in the program?" A song with an elegant melody.”
"The company arranged for songwriters to write three songs for you. Although they are not very top-notch, in terms of connotation and artistic content, they are always better than the one you chose. You...you can't just because it is Qin Luo What I wrote just insisted on going my own way.”
At the end of the sentence, Feng Nan seemed to be a bit sincere.
She used to be a resolute woman with a tough attitude towards others, but the repeated setbacks over the years have smoothed her edges. Now she puts all her life on Yao Yanyan, so When facing Yao Yanyan, she also used the gentlest attitude possible.
Even the company is like this, otherwise how could it be possible to give the right to choose songs to Yao Yanyan?
Most of the reasons for this still lie with Qin Luo. After all, it was Qin Luo's casual song "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" that brought Cheng Yu back to life and rejuvenated his career.
Shao Hong Entertainment has gained immeasurable benefits through this matter, so their attitude towards Qin Luo is surprisingly good. Unfortunately, Qin Luo is not a contracted artist of the company, and can only be regarded as a partner at best, so they can only treat Qin Luo The attitude of attention is implemented in Yao Yanyan.
"Yes, Sister Yanyan, why don't you think about it again? I don't know why my brother-in-law wrote you such a song... Maybe it's to replicate the results of "Learning to Meow"? But in my opinion, That kind of thing is mostly luck. My brother-in-law can obviously write better songs, so there is no need to write a song like this. After all, this is our first stage."
Shao Xinxin also spoke in agreement.
Although she has always been dissatisfied with Yao Yanyan, after getting along with her for many days, the resentment in her heart towards Yao Yanyan has also been slightly resolved without realizing it. Now she will also talk to Yao Yanyan from time to time. Tit for tat, that and that are mostly out of habit.
In contrast, what she values more now is whether she can make a successful debut this time. After all, Shao Xinxin also has a star dream - this is not because she has any obsession with being a star, but because she feels that her father As a big boss of an entertainment company, doesn’t it make sense for him not to be a big star?
This time she debuted as a combination with Yao Yanyan. She knew what the company was thinking. She just felt that she was not capable enough and wanted to hug Yao Yanyan or Qin Luo's thigh.
At first, Shao Xinxin was quite dissatisfied with this, but later she accepted it. Now she is thinking about making a smooth debut. After her debut, she will suppress Yao Yanyan in all aspects until she finds an opportunity to defeat Yao Yanyan. If Yanyan kicks away and goes solo, that would be perfect.
Of course, if Qin Luo can also be brought to him, it will be even more seamless.
This is the problem at this moment that makes Shao Xinxin a little depressed. Qin Luo obviously has such a high musical talent, but he wrote a song like "Learning to Meow".
This song has been killing the charts recently. Some professional singers who think highly of themselves may despise it for having no connotation, but no one will deny its commercial value. But now this is a program that relies on the quality of music to win. Isn't it a joke to come up with a song similar to "Learning to Meow" at this time?
Anyway, Shao Xinxin felt it was painful to listen to it, so she also thought about asking Yao Yanyan to change the song.
However, Yao Yanyan didn't listen to them at all. At this time, she just regarded their words as farts. She smiled and said perfunctorily: "Don't worry, it's okay. I'm a little tired. Let's go to the lounge to sit for a while. Just call me when the show starts soon."
After she finished speaking, she turned around and left. She was calm and calm, unlike a newcomer who was about to take her first stage. But in the eyes of others, this scene did not make them think that Yao Yanyan had a good attitude at all, but only that She is too proud and arrogant.
Several contestants of the same period who happened to be passing by happened to hear what Yao Yanyan just said, and they couldn't help but whisper.
"Who is that person? He looks so powerful."
"Yao Yanyan, the newcomer signed by Shao Hong, she sang the recent song "Learning to Meow"."
"She? No wonder she's so confident. She's also debuting as an amateur. None of us know her. She has more than one million fans online."
"It's hard to say whether she bought it or not, and it's not all thanks to Qin Luo that she became popular. If Qin Luo hadn't written her the song "Learning to Meow" and also wrote songs for Shao Hong's other artists, she would be a newcomer. Why is it so popular?"
"Hey, isn't it good for us to talk about this here? What if someone hears us..."
Several newcomers were a little unhappy with Yao Yanyan, but they also knew that trouble comes from the words, so they didn't continue after complaining for a few words.
Although Feng Nan didn't hear what they were talking about just now, he could guess it just from their expressions. Seeing this, he couldn't help but rub his temples and sighed.
Seeing this, Shao Xinxin rolled her eyes and comforted her sweetly: "Don't worry, Sister Nan. Since Sister Yanyan is so confident, there will definitely be no problem this time."
Feng Nan glanced at her, hesitated and said, "What you just said is actually what I thought. Yanyan chose this song so insistently. I think she also wanted to replicate the situation in "Learning to Meow" , but she doesn’t understand that this situation is actually not the norm, and even the popularity of "How to Meow" is partly due to luck."
"Qin Luo is a musical genius, I don't deny this, and I have no doubt that he can write better songs, but he chose to write such a song for Yao Yanyan... I think it's probably because of Yanyan personally Just ask for it.”
"Xinxin, in terms of voice quality, you and Yanyan are about the same. In terms of singing skills, you are even better, so when you get on stage, you can work harder and sing this song as well as you can. As for the rest..."
At the end of the sentence, Feng Nan didn't continue and just sighed a little melancholy.
Obviously, she doesn't think this song can achieve very good results. At least the four judges selected by the program team are all professional musicians, and musicians are always proud of themselves and look down on those who are nothing. It's a mouth-watering song with connotation and quality. This can be seen from the early negative reviews of "Learning to Meow" by so many people.
Fortunately, the promotion method of the show does not rely solely on the judges. Since the show is broadcast live, the votes of the audience and netizens also account for a large proportion. Can Yao Yanyan and Shao Xinxin win? Success in the first round depends mostly on whether the audience buys their songs.
…
"Why hasn't the show aired yet?"
"Hurry up, wait until six o'clock, we'll be here soon."
"I've been watching the promotions for several months and my head is spinning. I can't wait for it to air!"
"Peanut melon seed mineral water, those in front of you, please put your head back."
"Upstairs, which head are you talking about?"
"Damn it, how can you drive on this broken road?"
"I feel like this show is not interesting. It's full of newcomers. What's interesting about it?"
"It has to be all new people to look good. Only those who are 18 years old are good. When they are old, they become loose and unattractive."
"I'm really convinced. I just want to watch a show. Can you stop driving?"
"Although the contestants are all new and the songs are all new, the judges are all experienced, and Shen Fang seems to be here too."
"The song "Bubble" that Shen Fang sang a while ago was really nice. It was the first time I heard it and I burst into tears."
"I have to say that Shen Fang does have something to sing, but the one with the most stuff is me, Luo Shen. I just slaughtered the Chinese music scene without even showing my face. Let me ask you who else is there!"
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, when it comes to Luoshen, I have to mention Yao Yanyan. This show seems to be her debut stage. I'm looking forward to her performance tonight."
"It must be a song written by Luo Shen, right? I look forward to it, I hope it is a song of the same level as "Bubble" and "Romance of the Three Kingdoms"."
"Anyway, don't just imitate a cat's meow. I'm almost sick from listening to it lately, so I'm just waiting for something fresh to wash my ears."
"By the way, what is the relationship between Yao Yanyan and Luo Shen? Are they dating?"
"What a vulgar word to use, you should say virgin! Virgo friend!"
"But pull it off, as far as I'm concerned, Yao Yanyan, who is naturally charming, can't get along with her at all!"
"Wait a minute, the place you mentioned and the place I mentioned should have the same meaning, right? They must have the same meaning, right?"
"Haha, the two of them are just friends at best. They can't be in love anyway. Don't ask me what I'm asking. I'm just asking because I'm their classmate!"
"I especially remember the campus celebration party of Shanghai University a month ago... Tsk, tsk, tsk, I wonder what the beauty of Xu University on the shore of Daming Lake is doing now."
"Damn it, is there a story behind the tone upstairs? Come on, come on, I won't watch the show now. The photographer and lighting engineer are here! Just slap him in the face!"
Sorry for the delay in updating a lot, mainly because my mental state has been really bad recently. As for the specific reason - I can only say that people are really social animals. If you stay alone for a long time, problems will occur. Of course, it may also be my will. It's not firm enough, but it has been somewhat adjusted now, and normal updates will resume soon.
