Chapter 370 Can I Order Songs?
Initially, one of the highlights of "Singer" was the "grievance game" between Ye Zhiqiu and the king Xiao Jie.
However, as the program progressed, it seemed that most of the results ended with Xiao Jie being suppressed.
And now top-notch Zhang Yifan has joined the show, which suddenly makes the show full of drama.
In fact, Ye Zhiqiu and Zhang Yifan are often compared online, mostly initiated by Zhang Yifan's fans.
Because of his talent, Ye Zhiqiu has many fans, but due to labels such as "crazy" and "straight-talking", there are also many people who are indifferent to him.
And perhaps due to the influence of Ye Zhiqiu's style, the fan base that supports him also has a touch of the trait of "truth in the world, words that touch the heart".
Every time fans of Zhang Yifan come to compete, although the number of fans may not be dominant, the "quarrel" usually ends with the opponent being defeated.
Therefore, the two people's direct duel on stage attracted great attention.
Ye Zhiqiu didn't think much about Yang Hongwei's question.
"I don't have any opinion, just sing my own songs well. The pressure should be on the other side of the show,"
Yang Hongwei nodded and continued to ask questions according to the preset process.
When asked about "the songs to be performed in the next "Singer"", Ye Zhiqiu thought for a while.
"To be honest, it hasn't been finalized yet."
Ye Zhiqiu explained: "There are several songs to choose from, but I haven't decided which one to sing yet."
Yang Hongwei was stunned, thinking that Ye Zhiqiu was not ready because he sang his own original songs in every issue.
Turns out there are too many songs and I don’t know which one to sing?
Yang Hongwei suddenly became interested and asked curiously: "What style of song is it?"
Ye Zhiqiu did not answer directly, but said casually, "Let's do this."
"In this interview, you can start a poll. Which style has the highest number of votes, I will sing... I will consider which type of song to sing."
It’s better not to say it too harshly, otherwise you’ll end up with someone who can’t sing.
Is this... a song request?
Yang Hongwei's eyes lit up, and he realized that Ye Zhiqiu was helping him to drain the blood, and he was extremely moved.
The fourth child is a man of righteousness!
...
On the same day, the report of Ye Zhiqiu's exclusive interview was released, which immediately attracted the attention of many netizens.
"Wow, I thought this interview was made up, but I didn't expect it to be true."
"Ye Zhiqiu's implication: There are too many songs, and I don't know which one to sing. You can choose what you want to hear."
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, this is from Versailles."
"What are you guys doing standing around, let's vote!"
"Young people are uttering arrogant words. Let them experience the dangers of the world."
"Sing and dance!"
"Cantonese song!"
"I've already sung in Cantonese, let him sing in English!"
"Li Kun fans, want to listen to rock music!"
"You can rock and roll. In "Sing a New Voice", he was the champion of singing rock and roll."
"Damn it, suddenly it feels like this guy is versatile. He seems to know all these styles."
"What's the point of submitting a song? Can you also submit a look? Let's wear women's clothing!"
"There's a lot of resentment upstairs. They're either Baguio fans or Zhao Ling'er fans."
"I agree, it doesn't matter what you sing, you can wear women's clothing!"
Finally, Yang Hongwei sent the voting results to Ye Zhiqiu.
Netizens spontaneously changed their options, and the top vote-getter was "women's clothing."
Ye Zhiqiu automatically ignored this option and looked down directly.
Perhaps it was because netizens were reluctant to give up after the popular contestant Li Kun was eliminated. The one with the highest number of votes was "Rock".
Ye Zhiqiu initiated a vote to let netizens decide the song for the next episode, which many people in the industry said they couldn't understand.
Is it so casual?!
Going to Beijing, Zhang Yifan's team naturally noticed Ye Zhiqiu's actions.
"Rock?" the manager muttered.
"I didn't expect this, but it's okay, it's different from our performance style and there's no conflict."
Zhang Yifan, who had red lips, white teeth and light blond hair, curled his lips and said unconvinced: "So what if the styles conflict?"
"That's better, we can just compete."
The song Zhang Yifan will sing this time is "Burn".
That's right, it's the single that won the "Best Song of the Year Award" at the last China New Song Awards.
From the arrangement to the dance moves, this song was specially tailored for Zhang Yifan by inviting well-known foreign music producers, and it is also his masterpiece.
The song "Burn" is well-produced and the stage effect is extremely explosive. As soon as it appeared, it was regarded as the best singing and dancing song in the pop style of the Chinese music scene.
However, later, Ye Zhiqiu also sang and danced in "Trap", and gradually there were different voices on the Internet.
Then, "Fearless" appeared not long ago, and this topic completely left no room for controversy.
As a top performer who was hailed as the "first person in singing and dancing", Zhang Yifan was naturally very dissatisfied and wanted to compete with Ye Zhiqiu in singing and dancing on stage.
However, the agent obviously didn't think so. He understood Zhang Yifan's thoughts, but he didn't agree with it.
Although he doesn't want to admit it, Ye Zhiqiu is indeed very strong, and it would be best not to face Ye Zhiqiu's song selection head-on.
The replacement singer was allowed to sing his own song for the first time, and Zhang Yifan's team chose this song without hesitation.
Coupled with the advantage of being the last one on the field, there is great hope of getting a good ranking.
But this is not yet safe.
The manager repeatedly warned Zhang Yifan: "Be more stable on the stage. As long as there are no obvious mistakes, the first place will be yours."
Zhang Yifan immediately understood what the manager meant and snorted: "I know!"
"Without these votes, I would still win!"
The agent nodded, breathed a sigh of relief, and felt relieved.
On the surface, he is Zhang Yifan's agent, but he also has another identity, and he actually represents the capital behind it.
Zhang Yifan has a good appearance and is capable of singing and dancing, but his popularity is purely the result of capital promotion.
Although Zhang Yifan operates in a studio model on the surface, it is only due to the needs of certain aspects of operation, which is fundamentally different from Ye Zhiqiu's true control of his own right to speak.
The agent is a role sent by the capital side to assist, or "control" Zhang Yifan's business actions, so he often knows some of the deep-seated operations of the capital side behind him.
To participate in "Singer" this time, in order for Zhang Yifan to win and further expand his popularity and commercial value, the capital side has racked its brains.
The organizer, Penguin Video, is also a behemoth in the capital market. It is happy to see the competition between singers, but it will definitely not accompany you to fool around with the "default ranking" thing.
However, the ranking of the contestants is determined by the public judges, and they are the ones who make the decision on the spot.
Therefore, the capital behind Zhang Yifan turned its target to the 500 public judges on site.
It is naturally impossible to bribe them all to vote for Zhang Yifan, but don't forget that a large part of the 500 public judges come from major music platforms, entertainment media, self-media and other companies.
And some of these companies have cooperated with Zhang Yifan's capital parties to some extent.
Then saying hello and voting for the artists of partner A are the most "normal" things.
——Anyway, there are three places, and it doesn’t affect your choice of others. It can’t be considered a violation.
In this way, 500 public judges and the management obtained dozens of "guaranteed votes" for Zhang Yifan.
Don't underestimate the dozens of votes cast. In fiercely competitive events, the difference is just a few rankings.
Zhang Yifan's agent, who understood the inside story, took a deep breath.
