Chapter 63 Song Selection

After expressing his feelings about "The Rest of My Life", Lu Ziliang talked about business: "The preheating of "Original New Generation" has begun. There are obviously a lot more promotional materials on the Internet. The program team notified us to go there on Wednesday to submit the songs to be sung in the first episode. Is there any problem with your side?"

"Of course there is no problem." Xu Rui was quite curious, "What if I say there is a problem now?"

"Pull your hair, curse, and then find a way to solve it. What else can I do." Lu Ziliang smiled, "By the way, how many songs have you prepared? Do you want to ask the company's people to listen to them and pick one for you?"

Xu Rui declined: "No need, I will be ready on Wednesday."

"Then Okay, I'll pick you up on Wednesday morning."

"No problem."

"Okay, I won't bother you then..." On the other end of the phone, Lu Ziliang flipped through the notes on his phone and slapped his forehead, "I almost forgot, there's one more thing, "Original New Generation" hopes you can follow their official Weibo, don't say anything, just follow it."

The purpose of such a request is self-evident, Xu Rui smiled and said, "Okay, I'll follow it in a while."

Lu Ziliang confirmed that there was nothing missing, and then said, "That's all, see you on Wednesday."

After chatting with Lu Ziliang, Xu Rui turned on his computer and searched the official Weibo of "Original New Generation" online, logged in to his account, and clicked to follow it casually.

He found that the top Weibo of "Original New Generation" was the silhouettes of the five mentors announced yesterday, and today happened to announce the first mentor Wu Zhou, a singer who is quite famous in the rap circle. Although he didn't become popular, it always depends on luck to become popular. It is also a kind of strength to have been active in the circle for so many years without being forgotten.

Under the silhouette of the mentor, netizens are discussing, guessing, and exposing. Some people are trying to find past photos of the singer, one by one, but from Wu Zhou's official announcement photo, this is a newly taken makeup photo.

"Too few clues, is the revelation accurate?"

"The official Weibo is alive, which means that the recording will start. We will know when we wait for the Reuters photos."

As an insider, watching a group of netizens scratching their heads, Xu Rui finally experienced a different kind of fun. He touched the keyboard, and then his right hand quickly patted the back of his left hand, not to mess around.

While he was eating other people's melons, there were already netizens eating his melons.

After the two officially announced that the CP was true yesterday, many CP fans stationed on Weibo, fearing that they would miss the next interaction between the two. Xu Rui had just come online, and the news spread.

A group of people were staring at his account and paying attention to "Original New Generation". How could they not see such a big thing? They were boiling immediately.

"Xu Rui is going to be on "Original New Generation"?"

"Is he preparing to debut?"

"He does have musical talent, it would be strange if he didn't debut."

"What about Yan Ran?"

There are all kinds of voices among the fans. After seeing the news, the marketing accounts lurking in every corner immediately sent out a push in a serious manner.

The more conscientious ones have titles like "'Yijian CP' may join Ku Miao's new variety show".

The disgusting ones have a variety of titles, such as "Shocking!!! Xu Rui is singing to other women right after the show is recorded", and "What a pity!!! Xu Rui couldn't resist the temptation in front of money".

The actions of these marketing accounts were so fast that Xu Rui just finished eating melons on the official blog, and the mobile browser pushed relevant news to him.

"What do you mean by not resisting the temptation in front of money? Why does it sound so weird?" Xu Rui clicked it angrily, and when he went in, the content inside was much more serious, such as "The entertainment industry has always given people the impression of being glamorous. The author thinks that it is very normal for a talented young man like Xu Rui to want to try his luck" and so on.

"Where is the report?" Xu Rui looked around and finally found the complaint. He selected all the options, then clicked OK and threw the phone aside.

He also knew that complaints would be useless. There would be a lot of messy topics about him on the Internet in the future. He had to get used to it.

After relaxing for a while, Xu Rui turned on his computer, which had already saved several scores and demos prepared for the first episode of the show.

These days, he has been thinking about song selection. The strategy of song selection is very important for talent shows. Love songs have a wide audience, but singing small love songs in the competition field is not easy to be recognized, unless the song is really outstanding.

For competitions that focus on the response of the live audience, it is best to choose some high-pitched and exciting songs that can break into the audience's emotions in a noisy environment and make them unforgettable.

In the live environment, one song after another, not every audience can calm down and savor the story described and the emotions expressed in a song that is told in a leisurely manner. It is like eating mustard as an appetizer and chewing chili after a meal. It is difficult to remember what the egg custard served in the middle tastes like.

But the live audience voting is different. Sitting alone in front of the screen, wearing headphones, without any interference from the surroundings, it is easier to immerse yourself in the mood of the song.

In addition, he did not intend to listen to Lu Ziliang. In order to win the agreement, he tried his best in the first two rounds. In the first round, he raised the impression and standards of the mentors and the audience too high, which would put too much pressure on himself later.

After thinking about it, some songs that are poor and sad don’t seem to be suitable for him. After several considerations, Xu Rui finally chose a song with the theme of chasing dreams and youth without regrets to warm up the audience-"Nobody"!

After thinking about it, Xu Rui sent a message to Yan Ran: "Are you busy? Are you tired?"

Yan Ran replied quickly: "Why do you feel like you want me to be busy and tired?"

"This way I have a reason to cheer you up."

"Well, I'm very busy and tired, cheer me up!"

Xu Rui sent the demo of "Nobody": "I'm going to sing the song in the first episode, you can listen to it first, you can only listen to it by yourself."

After a while, Yan Ran sent a selfie with headphones. Judging from the background, it should be on the set.

After a while, another selfie was sent over. Yan Ran looked very motivated, and then the text arrived: "It sounds good. I'm not tired at all now."

"It's a bit exaggerated." Xu Rui replied.

"Not at all." Yan Ran sent a gif of a kitten shaking its head.

After taking the time to say a few words, Xu Rui didn't bother her anymore. He had lunch and went to Shenghua Entertainment's practice room to sing.

He didn't pay much attention to the time. He didn't know how long it had been. There were a few more people outside the practice room, squatting at the door and whispering.

"Who's in there?"

"Xu Rui."

"Did he really sign with our company?"

"It seems so. I heard that he is led by Brother Liang, just like Xu Zhuo."

"Are you singing a new song? You should be preparing for "Original New Generation". What a pity. That resource should have been given to you."

"Shh, stop talking. Don't let anyone hear you. Go in and say hello later. Don't make enemies."
