NOVEL NEXT Chapter 81 Playing Songs
After answering the phone call, Xia Haoyang's inner unhappiness disappeared. Xie Shujie was beside him and heard Director Wen's words throughout. The two looked at each other and said nothing. Xie Shujie nodded: "It's okay, I'll go home first." This was another huge favor owed to Director Liu, and Xia Haoyang sighed secretly in his heart.
Xinan Satellite TV is famous for its efficiency. It only takes a week from the determination to create such a program to the final implementation, arranging the time, finding sponsors, and deciding on the first episode of the program, and the stage is set at the Yancheng Production Center. For Xia Haoyang and others It's pretty good for people, and there's no need to go to other cities.
The competition time is set at 15:00 on Sunday afternoon. Generally, 12 groups of singers who have released new songs within six months will be invited. The program is temporarily set to 90 minutes. In the first period, live performances will be used as the basis for ranking, and the top three will be selected each time. Starting from the second issue, the number of song downloads from music source websites per week will be added.
This was the first time to participate, so Xia Haoyang and Xie Shujie personally brought their girl group Tara to the Yancheng Film and Television Production Center of Xinan Satellite TV. On the one hand, I came to cheer up my girl group, and on the other hand, I came to say thank you to Director Liu.
Seeing Director Liu again, Xia Haoyang had more respect and less suspicion. After the non-nutritious business exchange ended. Xia Haoyang said to Xie Shujie: "Lao Xie, Director Liu is really not a simple person. I feel at a loss what to do with this person, as if he has no shortcomings. To be honest, you won't be completely at ease with this kind of person, but you can't. What he does can be said without saying a word. This man is so perfect, it feels a bit scary."
"Right, you feel the same way, right? If this is a fantasy world or a dark world, people like Director Liu may be the final boss behind the scenes." Lao Xie also sighed.
"Well, Director Liu is like that kind of behind-the-scenes super boss who is inconspicuous at first sight, but is absolutely extraordinary." Xia Haoyang said, thinking again and again: "A capable minister in governing the world, a hero in troubled times, this sentence can also describe Liu director."
"Ha, this is a good metaphor. He is indeed as cunning as Cao Cao." Lao Xie was very satisfied with Xia Haoyang's description.
"Maybe he can become the next director of Xinan Satellite TV." Xia Haoyang sighed as he looked at the back of Director Liu who had walked away.
When Xia Haoyang brought Tara to the dressing room backstage, many singers were already inside. There are three dressing rooms backstage, a small dressing room used by their hosts or internal staff, and two large dressing rooms used by guests. Tara and her team were in one of the large dressing rooms, and the EHS group from Chiyo Records was also there. They should be regarded as the most famous contestants participating in the new song competition this time. Moreover, six of the 2 groups of singers this time are members of girl groups, and the flourishing girl group that Xia Haoyang wants to create has taken initial shape.
The 12 groups of singers were randomly drawn to determine the singing order. Tara was chosen the fourth one, and EHS, the one they were most concerned about, was the eleventh one. The most talked about singer Jianlang, who has not released an album in ten years, is the first, and he sang the most popular song of the new album, "Rakshasa Haishi".
"The City of Rakshasa" is a short story in classical Chinese written by Pu Songling, an outstanding novelist of the Qing Dynasty in China. It tells the story of an illusory country where people regard ugliness as beauty. It is a completely upside-down world. This is an illusory country. This is a cynical article. The author cleverly used drunkenness to accuse others and make insinuations.
That’s why Jianlang’s song became popular, and was considered by fans to be Jianlang’s counterattack and satire against the current top singers and queens! Because Jianlang was despised by these kings and queens of songs back then. Of course, Jianlang himself had not approved it and would not confirm it. I don’t know if it’s due to fans’ over-interpretation. Anyway, on this stage, he will perform this piece live for the first time.
As expected, the appearance of this song greatly aroused the enthusiasm of the audience. It is no exaggeration to say that if tonight's competition were completely voted by the audience, Jianlang's work would definitely be the first to win. One, you can feel it from the cheers at the scene. Chinese people still prefer Chinese style music, Xia Haoyang thought with emotion in the background.
The second person to appear was a very well-known singer among the young audience: Pharaoh of Egypt, a rapper. Although rap is a niche in China, it has gradually spread among young people in recent years, but it is still very popular for the time being. It is difficult to appear at large parties. It can only be said to be underground music now, and it is still not far away from becoming truly popular. Therefore, Pharaoh, who is very popular among young people, did not get too high scores in such a singing scene, especially the scores of experts at the scene.
The third one to appear was the Candy Box Girls from Stone Records. This is a serious girl group. They sang "Come Back Home" composed by Xia Haoyang. And after being baptized by Tara's first album, they also Understanding the importance of dance, they specially invited teachers from National Taiwan University to train their dance, and also designed a set of dance moves suitable for this song. After watching it, Xia Haoyang thought it was pretty good, and he was slowly getting closer to the essence of k-pop singing and dancing.
Fourth, Tara appeared, and their appearance also aroused the enthusiasm of the audience second only to Jianlang. Liu Xiaozhi did not sing the new music video to be released, but chose "Hot Summer" from the first album. As far as songs are concerned, it's hard to say that "Hot Summer" is better than "Come Back Home", but paired with the more skilled and smooth dance, it's not surprising that Tara's score is much higher than that of Stone Records' Candy Box Girl. Overall The score surpassed Jianlang's and temporarily ranked first.
Next, the other three girl groups that have gained a certain degree of popularity: Love Song Group, White Hart Lane Group and Violet Lily Group all caused the audience to scream and received good scores, but none of them surpassed Tara.
Until EHS, the eleventh group to appear, came on stage, the six little Taras who were sitting in the studio watching suddenly became nervous. When the other singers were singing, they were still talking and joking as if nothing had happened. Now it is EHS's turn to come on stage. His appearance immediately changed, and he became as serious as sitting on pins and needles. He was treated as an enemy. Xia Haoyang found it funny when he saw their appearance. They were singers with different styles and different positions. Why did they have to compare with EHS?
Of course, Xia Haoyang also knows the reason. Zhu Suya is a singer who debuted on the same program as EHS. They were originally a four-person group, but EHS became a three-person group, and Zhu Suya was silent for a year. Now when they come to Tara, the sisters are all unconvinced. In addition, they all released albums this year. EHS sold 500 million copies in a few days, which caused a shock in the industry, and her own album With a monthly sales of less than 400 million, they actually attracted the attention of the industry, but they themselves felt that losing to EHS was humiliating, so they were eager to defeat their opponent.
There was no suspense in the songs sung by EHS. Xia Haoyang sold them "Good Days". As soon as the host announced the title of the song, the six children and Juzi all looked at Xia Haoyang, and there was a fierce look between their eyebrows. Qin Jiali He was still muttering in his mouth, but his voice was too low to hear clearly what he was mumbling, but Xia Haoyang knew that nothing good would come of it. EHS's singing skills are impeccable. He performed this piece extremely well. The better he performed, the deeper Liu Xiaozhi's brows furrowed and the more hatred he looked at Xia Haoyang. In addition to Qin Jiali, Quan Wenxin and Ju Zi also started to think about it.
After singing a song, EHS also received enthusiastic cheers from the audience. Unsurprisingly, this song received the highest score given by experts. However, the audience scores are still being tallied. Each of the six members of Tara and Juzi all Even though she was nervous, Quan Wenxin even worshiped the Bodhisattva. The more Xia Haoyang watched, the more interesting it became. On one side was the confident and smiling EHS, and on the other side was the serious and nervous expression of her own girl group, one of whom was still praying to God and worshiping Buddha.
Do you think there is really a big difference in their strength? Actually not, but EHS has been going well for two years, so they seem more calm. However, Tara, who was only formed at the beginning of the year, does not have the awareness of a successful person or I am a star, and lacks that self-confidence. But after two years of hard work, when they can smile confidently at any time, how can they be worse than EHS?
There is no suspense. EHS's performance ranked second in the audience vote, but it is almost the same as the first Jianlang. Without weighted statistics, it can be concluded that EHS won the first place in the first issue of Xinan Satellite TV's "New Song Challenge". The Tara women's team won second place, but Jianlang unfortunately had a slightly lower expert score and ranked third.
After learning that she had lost to EHS again, Qin Jiali whispered in Xia Haoyang's ears.
"Bad guy, bad guy! The fat boss is a bad guy!"
"I'm so angry. Fatty is really not a good thing, scumbag!" When you hear the word scumbag, you should know that this is Juzi's curse.
"Brother, we really shouldn't have sold the songs to EHS, otherwise we would be number one." Well, the two junior sisters still have some moral integrity.
"Curse you, draw a circle and curse all fat people in the world." The one who is so vicious must be Loli Quan Wenxin.
"Xiao Mengyan, remember that you must not look for a fat man when looking for a boyfriend in the future." Zhu Suya's heart was dark.
"I don't like fat people, and I won't look for fat people. Sister Suya, it doesn't matter, we can win it back next time."
The 16-year-old Xiao Mengyan is better, but she must be careful not to be led astray by a black-hearted queen like Zhu Suya.
