People are in love, Qingmei is actually a star observer

Chapter 257 The inside story of the talent show

"[Through the years of darkness, I also felt hesitant

The moment you lower your head, you realize the path under your feet."

The more Liang Jie listened, the more serious he became. The arrogance in his heart had completely disappeared.

Even when he heard these lyrics, he had the urge to cry, because he really had a "dark time" in his past, and he was really "wandering" for a long time.

In the end, he had no choice but to abandon all illusions and settle down as a resident singer in the bar.

This time Wang Zihuan really sang into his heart.

"[The free world in my heart

so clear

blooming and never dying
  Blue Lotus】"

Legend has it that there is a blue lotus that never fades growing in Xiyun Mountain. Anyone who sees the blue lotus will be happy.

No one knows whether this blue lotus really exists, but in your heart, there must be your own spiritual sustenance that is free from matter.

And that distant world exists forever apart from time and space.

The blue lotus blooms alone, undefeated and free of worries.

As the prince sang the whole song happily, Liang Jie was convinced.

Nowadays, the so-called rock music in China is always bitter irony, manic shouting, and angry roar. He has long been tired of this simple and crude way of venting, and has been struggling to find new breakthrough directions, but there are no good works.

Today, Wang Zihuan taught him a good lesson with his calm tone, warm comfort, free heart, and true soul.

It turns out that rock music doesn’t require shouting at the top of your lungs. Such calm and indifferent singing can also hit people’s hearts.

Liang Jie has a new understanding of rock music.

"Thank you everyone, this song is called "Blue Lotus"."

After the accompaniment ended, the audience burst into warm applause.

At the same time, a table of guests finally recognized Wang Zihuan, and there were screams in the bar.

Although there were not many guests, everyone shouted "One more" and "One more" in unison.

Wang Zihuan thought about it and sang "The Wind Rises" right now. As for whether the two songs will be too close to each other when the show is broadcast, he will leave it to the later stage to solve.

He said to the microphone: "Since everyone is so enthusiastic, I, a West Factory flower, will give myself a lifeline. The complete version of "The Wind Rises" is dedicated to everyone."

The people in the room laughed out loud at his words of "extending the foundation of life", but they were also pleasantly surprised to hear "The Wind Rises" live.

"Hahaha, the factory flower is just as funny as in "Song of Love"."

"I didn't expect that having a drink would be such a good thing. I won't be able to brag about it with those guys all night when I go back."

"Wow, "The Wind Rises", this big hole is finally filled."

Wang Zihuan drew a few more scores and sent them out, and gave a few simple instructions.

This time the bar didn't bother him asking for money anymore. It was a good place to start a song called "Blue Lotus", and it didn't cost him any change, not to mention it also came with a song called "The Wind Rises".

The bar owner was already dancing happily in the booth on the second floor.

The melodious prelude sounded, and the prince opened his voice happily.

"[Walking and stopping along the way, following the traces of the young man's drifting

The moment before I stepped out of the station, I was a little hesitant.】"

The original singing voice that was somewhat rich and hoarse turned into a slightly shrill tone, which made the audience stunned for a while.

Liang Jie was stunned.

exaggerate!

This level of control over the voice is too exaggerated.

"[I still marvel at how big the world is, and I'm also intoxicated by my childhood love stories.

No truth or falsehood, no struggle, no pointless jokes
  I finally gave her back my youth, along with the midsummer that popped out of my fingertips

Wherever the heart moves, it goes with the wind

In the name of love, are you still willing?"

After singing the whole song, although the lyrics are not as direct to the soul as the previous song "Blue Lotus", the lyrics are still beautiful and have a feeling of "youth pain literature".

However, the composition and singing style of this song are amazing, at least Liang Jie, who is not very interested in pop music, can listen to it.

Of course, there were still many people at the scene who were moved by the song "The Wind Rises" and unconsciously thought of someone in their hearts.

The shouts of "Waiter, another box of beer" also sounded one after another.

Who hasn’t had a regretful “ta” in their youth? In the booth, a smile appeared on Yu Man's pretty face.

This longest "hook" really did not disappoint, it is a new hit song.

Presumably after the first episode of "My Friends and I Were Stunned" is broadcast, it will gain huge popularity with "Blue Lotus" and "The Wind Rises".

In this way, she will not only be able to perfectly compete with Penguin Video, but "Love" and "The Voice of China" will also be followed by the popularity.

Kill four birds with one stone.

After Wang Zihuan took photos with a few fans, he returned to the booth.

He sat in a row with Yu Man and looked at Liang Jie opposite, "Brother Jie, let's discuss this?"

Wang Zihuan did not use the word "evaluation" again, because he was afraid that the other party would think it was ridicule.

Liang Jie quickly waved his hand and said in a very sincere manner: "Teacher Wang, please stop laughing at me. How can I compare with your level?"

The prince smiled happily, and did not say anything hypocritical about the lack of quality of music. He said straight to the point: "Now let's just drink and chat among buddies. Tell me and Sister Man why you don't want to participate in The Voice."

Just when Wang Zihuan wanted to wave to the waiter and order some more wine and snacks, several waiters came to their table carrying huge dinner plates and various drinks.

"This is given to you by our boss, Mr. Wang. If you have anything else you want to eat, you can ask for it. All your purchases tonight will be free of charge." The leading waiter said with a smile.

Hearing that he could have sex for free, the prince happily thanked him and followed the waiter's gaze and waved to the bar owner on the second floor.

Sitting back in the booth, Liang Jie unceremoniously opened a bottle of beer and took a sip, and then said: "Actually, I have never participated in the draft. After all, I play music. Who has never thought about being famous. But the experience of that draft It was really too dark, and it completely destroyed my desire to enter the entertainment industry."

As he spoke, he glanced at the photographer next to him, looked at Yu Man and asked, "Director Yu, can I just say it's okay?"

Yu Man nodded, "It's okay, you can rest assured that I'm here."

Liang Jie did not hesitate, took another sip of wine and said: "The draft I participated in before was also said to be absolutely fair and there would be no shady stories. This was indeed the case in the beginning. Everything depends on strength, no nonsense. nothing."

"But when it comes to the TV campaign stage, it completely changes. If you want to advance in the first round, you have to pay 30, otherwise don't even think about it."

"You're good at singing, but you don't want to pay? No problem, they can tamper with your equipment, make you temporarily lose your voice, disrupt your rhythm, and the judges will do their best to find fault with you. Those people Even the kings and queens can find some problems, let alone those of us participating in the selection."

"The audience is led by the judges, and coupled with post-editing, it will make people feel that your elimination is reasonable."

Wang Zihuan did not expect that the talent show here was similar to the Chinese one in terms of corruption. They were both equally bad.

Liang Jie paused briefly and continued: "Do you think that after paying 30 yuan to advance, you are done and you can compete normally? No, after you advance, someone will come to you to negotiate a management contract."

"If you sign, you can continue to advance. If you don't sign, you will have to think about the consequences yourself."

"Which company approached you to negotiate a contract?" Wang Zihuan asked.

Yu Man picked up the wine glass, lightly opened his red lips, took a sip and said, "If I guess correctly, it should be the director of that talent show."

Liang Jie nodded vigorously, raised his head and drank the bottle of beer in one gulp: "Director Yu, you guessed it right, and this contract is very exaggerated. It needs to be signed for 9 years. What they probably mean is that the company will be within 9 years." , will package you and help you release some songs for promotion."

"Although it sounds nice, it's actually a free-range approach that casts a wide net. After all, there are still 30 people after the first round of advancement. How is it possible that 30 people can get ahead. At most, one or two can get through."

"In addition, in the first to three years of the contract, the share ratio is 10%, [-]% for us and [-]% for the company; from the fourth to the sixth year, the company will give you a [-]% increase, so we will get [-]%; after the fifth year, it will increase to [-]% , this is the limit.”

When Wang Zihuan heard this, he suddenly felt that Li Wanxin was miserable in Mengyi. A person who was selected from the draft would be in the 10s and [-]s for several years, but she was still in the [-]s after [-] years.

"So, you didn't sign?" Yu Man asked.

Liang Jie continued to nod, "Yes, it turned out that those of us who didn't sign were doing pretty well. Because those who signed were not allowed to take private jobs, otherwise they would be fined a lot of money. And after those who signed went in, they found The company has no time to care about you, they will only focus on the best two.”

"It's not that I don't want to take care of it, I just don't have that many resources. After all, so many have been signed this year, and there are still programs to be held in the second year, and we have to continue to cast a net and continue to sign."

"So many singers who were quite popular on the show were delayed like this in the end. By the time their contracts expired, they would have been out of business."

After Liang Jie said this, he fell silent. His meaning was very simple. If "The Voice of China" did this, he would never go.

After Wang Zihuan finished eating the melon, he understood why Liang Jie was so disappointed with the "draft".

In the final analysis, the moment you participate in the show, your entire personal value has been figured out by the director.

First, they will pay you 30 yuan to squeeze out your savings, and then when you are at your peak, they will ask you to sign into the company to squeeze out the value of your popularity.

And by the time your enthusiasm is over, the company has already made a lot of money, and if they give you a monthly salary of several thousand yuan to fool you for a few years, you can get out.

No wonder China here and the Celestial Empire on Earth are keen on hosting talent shows. This "business" benefits both the contestants and the audience, and it's so profitable.

However, he did not express any opinions. After all, the director of "The Voice of China" is Yu Man. If Sister Man wants to do this, of course he will follow suit.

Yu Man is the thickest "thigh" he can hold now. Without this network, the resources of Jiada Culture Studio will be cut in half.

Of course, Wang Zihuan still doesn't want Yu Man to do this. Although it can make a lot of money in the short term, there will definitely be fewer contestants in the future and the quality of the program will inevitably decline.

After a while, Yu Man, who stared at the wine glass and thought for a while, finally said: ""The Voice of China" will be broadcast live, and no agency will be allowed to have any contact with the contestants in any form before the finals."

"I can sign these in the contract with you."
