…

For a time, the variety show "I Am a Singer" and the seven singers participating in the show had a significant increase in online search volume, micro-circle popularity, and micro-chat circle index. These users once again carried out word-of-mouth publicity, and the show quickly spread widely in the form of rapid copy and paste on the Internet.

The industry's evaluation of "I Am a Singer" is also positive.

"In addition to showing a singer's overall musical literacy, this show can also discover many good songs that have been overlooked in the past."

"In terms of show and gimmick, it is average, but the feeling on the scene is very good."

"The entertainment industry is a circle that likes new things and dislikes old things. Even if there is a glorious history, it is easy to be forgotten if there is no new topic. At present, "I Am a Singer" is a very topical program, providing singers with an opportunity to return to the audience's field of vision."

"Although the seven singers in the first episode have a ranking, each of them performed perfectly. Singers who want to be on this show in the future need super strength and great courage."

……

Among the three major domestic entertainment giants Penguin Entertainment, Xingyu Music, and Huahai Entertainment, only singers from Xingyu Entertainment participated in the show.

After seeing the ratings and popularity of the first episode of "I Am a Singer", Penguin Entertainment and Huahai Entertainment were not calm.

Early on Sunday morning, Lin Zixuan received an emergency notice to come to the company for a meeting.

In the meeting room, seeing that the manager had not arrived yet, a newly hired agent sat next to Lin Zixuan and whispered: "Sister Lin, I heard that except for the agents who accompanied the artists to participate in activities, all the agents on vacation were called back. Is there something big going on?"

Lin Zixuan replied: "It should be for Mango TV's new variety show "I Am a Singer."

The newly hired agent heard, "Ah", and said: "The artists I manage are actors, is it necessary to attend this meeting?"

Lin Zixuan shrugged and said: "I don't know about that."

The manager of their artist department has done this kind of confusing operation more than once or twice.

According to her guess, the company wants its artists to participate in "I Am a Singer" and let their agents come to discuss it.

After a while, the manager of the artist department came to the meeting room.

Seeing that everyone was present, the manager said directly: "The theme of today's meeting is very simple, to select an artist to participate in "I Am a Singer."

The agents heard this and started to discuss.

The manager said "artist" instead of "singer", which means something different.

Because most of the artists under Penguin Entertainment are multi-talented, actors have released singles, and singers have guest-starred in dramas.

So, it can be analyzed that the company pushes an artist to participate in "I Am a Singer" not to win the championship, but simply to increase topics and popularity.

"I think Ren Fan can go. He is from a Korean group, he is good at singing and dancing, and the movie he starred in will be released during the National Day..." An agent expressed his point of view.

"I looked at the competition system of "I Am a Singer". The singers who went later were all challengers. I personally think it is more appropriate to push newcomers." Another agent followed up.

Zhang Jiang, who was spinning a pen in boredom, suddenly had a gleam in his eyes and said, "I Am a Singer is still a competition-based variety show after all, and in this kind of show, singers with a wide vocal range and the ability to sing high notes have an advantage, refer to He Qian who won the first place in the first episode."

The manager followed his words and said, "Do you mean to let Yang An participate?"

Zhang Jiang smiled and said, "Letting Yang An challenge the club seems to be too bullying to other singers. I also mean to recommend a newcomer."

Lin Zixuan narrowed her eyes and guessed what he was thinking.

The manager asked, "Do you have a candidate?"

Zhang Jiang replied, "Zhao Xuan, who is also good at high notes and has good singing skills."

Although the company tailored a new song for Zhao Xuan at the beginning of the year, it was squeezed out of the top ten of the new song popularity list, and the results did not meet expectations.

But the problem is not Zhao Xuan, mainly because Yunfeng did not play by the conventional routine, and even three of the Four Little Kings almost lost.

In terms of strength, Zhao Xuan is the most outstanding newcomer who debuted this year.

The manager looked around and asked, "Do you have any recommendations?"

Ren Fan, a popular young actor.

Zhao Xuan, a talented newcomer, and Yang An's junior.

Except for the big guys, no other artist in the company can compare to these two.

Seeing that no one spoke anymore, the manager continued: "In that case, let's choose one from Ren Fan or Zhao Xuan..."

At the same time, the president's office of Huahai Entertainment.

"Runze, how are you preparing for your new album?"

"It's in the later stages."

"Are you satisfied with the song?"

"satisfy."

"Have you watched "I Am a Singer" which aired the day before yesterday?"

"Looked at it."

…

After chatting for a while, the president got down to the topic and asked, "Tell me what you think of "I Am a Singer"."

Liu Runze and his agent looked at each other and couldn't figure out the purpose of the president's question.

After a short silence, the manager took the lead and said: "I personally believe that "I Am a Singer" has created a new genre in the history of domestic TV variety shows - panoramic variety shows."

Seeing that the president was listening attentively, he explained in depth: "Every detail and every subtle reaction of the participating singers from arriving, waiting, watching other people singing, etc., is conveyed to the audience through the camera, and the entire program is Come down, there is no story, no sensation, only pure music. There are no backup dancers on the stage, and there is not even any VCR before singing to exaggerate how awesome the singer was. The singer is simply given a stage, a stage equipped with a top orchestra. , let the singers perform live and let the audience appreciate the purity of the music.”

After listening, the CEO turned to Liu Runze and asked abruptly: "Do you have any thoughts on participating in "I Am a Singer"?"

Liu Runze was a little surprised and confirmed: "Me?"

The president nodded.

The agent rushed: "When the program team sent out the invitation, we already rejected it. Now we are going to participate..."

The model of famous singers competing on the same stage put the early preparations for "I Am a Singer" into an embarrassing situation where the big names were disdainful and the little ones were afraid of losing. Almost 99% of the first-line singers refused.

The president smiled and said: "Are you still afraid that the program team will hold a grudge? Rejection or acceptance are normal choices."

The manager added: "However, participating in the recording of "I Am a Singer" is not as simple as making an announcement. From song selection, arrangement, audition in the recording studio, to rehearsal and final competition, every Monday The recording rhythm of this period takes up almost all of the singer’s time, and Runze has invested a lot of energy in the new album in the past few months, and I am worried that his body will not be able to bear it.”

The president continued: "The reason why I ask this is because I think that if Runze participates in "I Am a Singer", he can take this opportunity to attract a wave of fans from the public and increase the sales of his new album."

After listening to the discussion between the president and his agent, Liu Runze said only three words: "I do."

Among the Four Little Kings, Liu Runze's popularity has always been suppressed by Yang An, Zhou Ruilin, and Zhang Feng. He is basically accompanied in various music award ceremonies.

Why doesn't he want to change this situation, and "I Am a Singer" is an opportunity.
