Chapter 246 [Walking CDs are big news]
Liang Kun took a few days to class and had another activity.
He Qian had called Liang Kun long ago and invited him to participate in Mango TV's variety show "Happy Camp". On May 10, he and his manager Gong Wei flew to Changsha.
This year, "Happy Camp" introduced the concept of "host group" for the first time, and successively launched the "Happy Broadcast" session and a series of games. Liang Kun was paid to participate in the program, and the program team needed to increase the ratings by inviting celebrities.
The program "zero pay" was launched after the revision in 2006. At that time, the program became popular and there were a group of celebrities who wanted to participate without giving the appearance fee. The program team only needed to give the appearance fee to the guests.
With the manager Gong Wei, Liang Kun's life became easier. When booking air tickets, the manager discussed with the program team in advance. He just had to wait to show his face.
Liang Kun went to the TV station to meet the hosts. There are currently four people in the Happy Family, He Yun, Li Xiang, Xie Yan and Li Weijia.
After chatting politely for a while, Liang Kun found that the people in the program team had tasks and the content was similar, and wanted to do this episode well.
He took on six yellow tasks about this episode. He helped increase the ratings this year and helped make the show a red task for the national ace variety show. Liang Kun did not take on those tasks. He could not complete them unless he joined the Happy Family.
This year's revision of "Happy Camp" was a last resort, and they were hit by the Internet and their ratings decreased. Since the program started broadcasting in 1997, the ratings have been very high in the first three years, and have begun to decline in the past two years, and changes must be made.
The focus of this episode is Liang Kun's performance.
After being introduced by the host, Liang Kun, wearing a black and white horizontal bar striped T-shirt, navy blue casual pants and blue sneakers, appeared.
As soon as he appeared, the audience applauded together, and some female fans screamed. Liang Kun, He Jiong and others stood together, making their legs look longer, nearly one head taller than them.
The hosts of the Happy Family are not tall, and Du Haitao, the only tall one, has not joined yet.
After everyone chatted for a while, Liang Kun started performing and sang "Danxiang". With the assistance of the A-level skill system, he sang perfectly.
When the performance ended, He Xun quipped: "Are you so stable in your performance on the spot? Many people present doubted what to do if you lip-sync? For example, I."
"This is a blame for Li Keqin. His vocalization method is very stable, and he is nicknamed "CD Qin". I am a person who pursues perfection. After learning from him for a while, I set a goal and strive to become a "walking CD."
The audience applauded together, and they knew that Liang Kun was singing. Because this was the piano accompaniment on the spot, he was close to a cappella. The albums that can be bought on the market were all the versions sung by Liang Kun at Li Keqin's concert, which was a bit of a noise.
Li Xiang asked: "Do you want to hear him sing another song?"
"Think!" the audience shouted together, very active when interacting.
"Happy Camp" does not offer tickets to takeout on-site, and there are three types of tickets.
First, the number of tickets given by the audience is not large, and a special person arranges the gift according to the department's plan. Second, the student team tickets are responsible for the special person, and students from Changsha colleges and universities take turns to watch the program at the base camp. The third type is the fan team. After each period is set, the guest's fan team will contact the program team and apply for admission.
Almost all of those present today were Liang Kun’s fans, and a university student and a fan team were mixed together. Many students felt sorry for not getting the votes.
Liang Kun's second song was a live piano accompaniment. As soon as the music started, the audience who usually liked the Japanese anime "Inuyasha" and were familiar with anime songs were excited. Because Liang Kun wanted to sing Japanese songs, Ayumi Hamasaki's "dearest".
The song won the "Record Award" and "Annual Golden Award" awarded at the 43rd Japan Record Awards, which literally translated into Chinese means "the favorite person". Everyone knows that Liang Kun is going to Japan during the summer vacation, and will cooperate with Ayumi Hamasaki. He covered this song with a full gimmick.
The program team wanted Liang Kun to cover Michael Jackson's songs, but gave up after discussion. Jackson's "earth song" is not suitable for singing in this environment, and the place is too small. Liang Kun sang Jackson's tender songs, which is not very consistent with his temperament and image.
No male singer has ever covered this song by Hamasaki, and it is very difficult for a man to sing. Her style is unique. If the song is very coherent in one note, the singer's throat will continue to rise and the more he sang, it will become tighter and tighter. This leads to the fact that although it sounds not high, ordinary people can't sing it.
After Liang Kun's singing skills reach level A, he can stump him, and there are not many songs that can sing hard. He can often play with covers and play tricks, sing different flavors, sound good and show off his skills.
Liang Kun's "Dearest" sings the feeling of Chen Yixun. Chen Yixun's high notes are very high, but they are thick and not harsh, so they don't feel high. Liang Kun used this method to interpret this song without lowering the tune.
"Ah, I just hope that before entering an eternal sleep, can your smile always accompany me? Ah, when I recalled the time when I met, I was at a loss in everything and took a long journey, and finally came to the end."
In the g-tide part of the chorus, Liang Kun made a little magical modification, and his voice was louder and more passionate than the original one. Hamasaki Ayuki finally sang himself and cried, while Liang Kun had a bit of a domineering president.
In fact, Liang Kun's cover has deviated from the artistic conception of the original song. But because he sang well and showed off his skills, the audience bought it and thought he was too awesome.
Many Chinese Anthem fans have heard this song but cannot study the deep meaning of the song. A very small number of people know what the lyrics are translated into.
The lyrics written by Ayumi Hamasaki have nothing to do with the story of Inuyasha. Liang Kun's cover is more likely to remind people of the animation of "Inuyasha". The main reason is that his image is the momentum of "wind wounds" at any time.
At the end of the song, the audience applause continued for a long time.
Many celebrities have participated in "Happy Camp", and all kinds of lip-syncing lip-syncing are not right. They will record the songs in advance, or simply play the record and then lip-syncing. Because the program only focuses on their performance, singing is just a form.
Liang Kun looked not a lip-sync. He came to Changsha, which he had just arrived last night, and today he came to participate in the show. From the start of the show to the present, he is also the first guest who dares to sing live with piano accompaniment.
The hosts returned to the center of the stage, Xie Jing looked like a fan. "Can you sign an autograph for me later? I don't think you need to practice at all, you are already walking CDs."
"It's too much. We are just a newcomer in the Chinese music scene. We must be low-key." Liang Kun paused and smiled and said, "Yes, I'm so humble."
The audience burst into laughter. The title was all he had just proposed. Liang Kun had never been very modest. Perhaps he was the one who dared to speak among the stars and liked to set great goals for himself.
He Xu asked: "When did you release a song album? Your voice is so good, and you have written several songs that have become popular all over the country. I think it is a waste if you don't sing yourself."
"I will definitely release a song album, but this year is a tough one because there are too many things. In addition to preparing a pure music album, I also have to take the time to write "Ghost Blows Out the Light". In the future, I will definitely release Chinese, English, and Japanese albums. Before that, I will play folk music well this summer."
Li Xiang asked a topic that is prone to controversy: "How much sales do you expect to make your albums in Japan?"
"My goal is to have sales of more than 2 million yuan. 1.5 million yuan is my psychological bottom line. If it does not reach 1.5 million yuan, it will fail." Liang Kun said with a smile.
There was an uproar at the scene. He Xun asked in surprise: "Are you talking about global sales?"
"Of course not, it's just the sales volume in Japan. I know that many people will pour cold water on this, but I really think so. If I just report a very low number, I will feel uncomfortable."
The audience applauded vigorously, and several young people began to make excuses. They like Liang Kun's high profile, because he has this personality that his topic is high.
Weijia asked: "No singer has ever achieved such high sales in Japan before. Are you not afraid that the goal will be too big and cannot be achieved at all?"
"But if I don't set my goals high, I will feel that I'm just traveling to Japan, not going to succeed. So I'd better be taller, I like to do challenging things."
What Liang Kun wants is controversy. It is best for all the news to report his remarks, and a group of people on the Internet criticize him. In this way, his exposure rate is very high. After the success of Japan, many people will definitely be willing to buy the album in China.
He participated in "Happy Camp" not to be a guest because of his face, but to promote it.
Next, Liang Kun played the flute and played "Unresistible" and played the erhu and played "Love in Life", which received warm applause. Others came to play a group game, and Liang Kun staged a solo show.
The Kuaiben stage during this period was not good enough, with colorful fluorescent lamp blocks that made people dizzy, but Liang Kun conquered all the audience with music.
The program team is also happy to arrange for him to perform more because there are too many fans coming to the scene today. If Liang Kun performs less and others speak more, there may be a cold situation.
There were also chat sessions. Liang Kun talked about some interesting things when practicing musical instruments with his partners, and also revealed some things he had to do when he went to Japan. The recording ended amid the applause of the audience.
When he arrived in the backstage, He Yun felt that there was something wrong with him and said to Liang Kun: "I think the sales place you expect is too high, so it is better to edit it here, otherwise there will definitely be people questioning it. What do you think?"
Liang Kun waved his hand and said, "Don't cut this passage. I know you don't believe it. No one may believe that I can do it after the show is broadcast, but this is the publicity I want."
"What if you can't?"
"It's big news that can't be done, it's big news that can be done. My goal is big news. Don't you like this kind of explosive point?"
