Chapter 59 Super Girl and Xiaoju

This summer, if you want to talk about the popularity, it has to be "Super Girl". Since the auditions for each competition area began in March, it has been dominating the entire variety show market. Entering July, the top ten competitions across the country are ushered in, which has triggered a lot of excitement. There were quite a few summer students and even families watching.

After the competition entered the top ten in the country, it aroused a frenzy of national participation. Even if you have not followed this program, as long as you have a mobile phone, it will be borrowed by people around you for no reason, to vote for your favorite contestants, or even walk on the street. You might be stopped to borrow a cell phone, it’s really crazy.

Wei and Jin were no strangers to this talent show in their previous lives, especially when Zhang Hanyun, the third runner-up of the first Super Girl, was born in Shu. Many high school seniors in the school came to compete, all dreaming of becoming famous like Zhang Hanyun.

However, Wei Jin never thought that one day, he would come to watch the show. It was because of the debt of gratitude he had owed for promoting "Crazy Stone". There was nothing he could do about it.

On August 8, the second "Super Girl" ushered in the finals. Wei Jin, an internationally renowned gold medal producer, appeared on the field as a surprise guest.

Many viewers didn't know him, but thought this guest was quite handsome. When the host Wang Han introduced Wei Jin's identity and listed his works in detail, the audience exclaimed, and the contestants on the stage were even more eye-catching. glow.

"Director Wei, do you usually watch our shows?"

Li Xiang took over the topic and asked:
  "Of course, I was impressed by several players."

Wei Jin didn't tell lies, he was indeed very impressed. This session is considered the most successful one for Super Girl.

"Then what do you think about tonight's championship?"

Li Xiang continued to ask. Guest predictions before the game are also a major gimmick of the show.

"I sit and watch."

Wei Jin made a joke, looked at the confused people at the scene, and then explained:
  "I'm more optimistic about Li Yuchun and Zhang Liangying."

"Can you tell me the reason?"

Wang Han was a little curious, and this was what the audience wanted to know.

"In Li Yuchun's case, I am more optimistic about her image. She has a neutral style and is very heroic in appearance. Usually this kind of image shows both men and women on the screen. I think there should be many viewers who will like her. In Zhang Liangying's case, she is purely I personally admire her singing skills.”

Wei Jin gave an explanation, and then the host interacted with other guests and judges.

After several rounds of song performances, the audience finally voted, and the result was not what Wei Jin expected. Li Yuchun still won the championship, Zhou Bi sang won the runner-up, and Zhang Liangying won the third runner-up. They were not affected by Wei Jin's favor. In the favor of the audience, the gap with the top two is still quite big.

During the final acceptance speech, the three of them unanimously expressed their hope to get the opportunity to sing Wei Jin's new songs.

"This song is called "Painted Heart" and will be used as the theme song of the movie "Painted Skin". As the saying goes, it is difficult to paint the heart with painted skin."

Wei Jin fulfilled his previous promise, but this time Wei Jin almost overturned. After writing the lyrics and music, the company's music director discovered that the song was an RB song, and thought Wei Jin had adapted it, so he reminded him about the copyright. Only then did Wei Jin obtain the relevant copyright, which also reminded Wei Jin that he was not omnipotent after all, so he should check it out first when writing songs in the future.

As for who was invited to sing, after communicating with the program team, it was not announced on the spot, leaving some suspense and continuing to increase the popularity of the contestants.

After the boring process was over, it was already past 11 o'clock, and Teacher He came to invite Wei Jin to have a supper.

Last time Wei Jin declined due to his busy schedule, but this time he was too embarrassed to push it forward. Teacher He may have thought it was a bit monotonous with just two people, so he invited three contestants and two hosts to participate. Teacher He is really good at it. Be a human being.

A group of seven people walked lightly to a private restaurant. The decoration style was very retro, and it felt a bit like a small bridge and flowing water.

The three players have all signed contracts with Tianyu, and they can be regarded as half of Mango Channel. However, the three of them were still a little restrained during the banquet.

They didn't know who sang "Painted Heart", so they seemed a little uneasy.

"Don't be nervous. You are all familiar with the three of us. Wei Jin is about the same age as you. Let's treat it as a gathering of friends."

Seeing that the three of them were a little uncomfortable, Teacher He comforted them in a gentle voice.

"Yeah, don't be restrained and relax, I don't eat people."

Wei Jin looked at the three people who had not yet debuted, and always felt like he was getting old.

In fact, the three of them couldn't help but be nervous. The person in front of them was an international director, a gold medal producer, and the CEO of a film and television company. In one hand, they held the King of Painful Singers and Scarlett, the goddess of victory popular in North America. The status gap between the few people is too big. Even the Tianyu company that signed the contract is not of the same size in front of Wei Jin.

"Director Wei, is your new movie in the late stages of production? When will it be released?" As a woman, Li Xiang changed the subject and helped several newcomers.

"I'm not sure, I'm still doing special effects in North America, probably by the end of the year."

Wei Jin opened his mouth and replied:

"I'll probably have to go on your stage to promote it then."

"That's no problem. You don't know that the last time you came here, the ratings of our program were quite high. The leaders at the station said that you have a good sense of variety."

Teacher He agreed wholeheartedly and praised the effectiveness of the last time the crew of "Those Years" performed on the show.

"Don't worry, I'll make an appointment in advance this time so I won't cause you any trouble, haha."

Wei Jin was a little helpless when he heard this. It wasn't that he had a strong sense of variety shows, but that the variety shows at the moment were really lackluster.

"Director Wei, do you think there is anything that needs to be improved in our program?"

Wang Han couldn't get a word in, so he took the initiative to stir up the topic. He wasn't famous yet, so he couldn't compare with Teacher He.

"Well, it's hard to say, it's hard to say."

It was unnecessary and it was not his own show. Wei Jin was too lazy to point fingers at others.

"It's okay, it's just us. Last time we said we would give my opinions on my program, so let's join us this time."

Teacher He also thought it would be good to listen to Wei Jin's views. Although they were not from the same circle, they had something in common after all.

"Then I'm just going to tell you what I'm saying, so just listen to it, okay?"

Wei Jin saw that Teacher He was also looking for knowledge and no longer hid his clumsiness. Giving some advice could be regarded as a relationship with Mango Terra. If it is really useful, others will remember you.

"Let's talk about Supergirl first. This show has been running for two years and it is becoming more and more popular. However, the audience voting is becoming more and more outrageous. The public response has already begun to show some signs."

What Wei Jin said was true. The ratings of the show were already very high, and a lot of sponsorship and advertising fees had been earned, and the audience was still interested.

You know, audience voting costs only one yuan per text message, and there is no limit. Some people can vote hundreds of dollars a month. There are even children who steal their parents' phones and spend thousands of yuan to send text messages to vote, which is a big mistake. The media has already reported that Mango Taiwan’s move is really ugly.

"As for "Happy Camp", the main reason is that the program has been around for too long and has no new ideas. We can try to invite more popular celebrities or track real-time hot spots. In addition, the interactive game sessions can also be changed. It really doesn't feel like a variety show to me. Qiang, you are too good at it."

At the end, Wei Jin complained a little. The last time he played games on the show, Wei Jin was depressed. It was so stupid.

"What you said does make sense. If the program is to last for a long time, we should not just focus on the present. I will talk to the leaders of the station later. Thank you, Wei Jin."

After hearing this, Teacher He tasted the product carefully and suddenly understood.

Although Super Girl has nothing to do with Teacher He, as the face of the show, Teacher He's opinion is still very important.

"Teacher Wei, do you prefer singer-songwriters or singer-performers?"

Halfway through the meal, Zhang Liangying finally plucked up the courage to speak. The other two also looked at Wei Jin with burning eyes. Obviously, they had just debuted and hoped to get guidance from industry leaders so that they could avoid some detours in the future.

"Well, this question is actually a bit one-sided. Of course I am most optimistic about singer-songwriters, but there are too few such all-rounders. The second one should be singer-songwriters. If they are talented, they will eventually have a chance to succeed. As for those who only have singing skills , I like it very much, but the competition is also fierce, and it all depends on the company’s support.”

Wei Jin talked about his understanding of the singer's profession. As for whether it was right or not, he was not responsible.

The three of them looked thoughtful when they heard the words.

Then a few people started chatting about some gossip in the circle. Not to mention, Wei Jin really didn’t know much about it, so they listened with great interest.
