Chapter 026 The Hardest Song

Chapter 026 The most difficult song

The next day, Chen Shuting got up early and woke up at five o'clock. He went out to run and came back to practice martial arts, and was sweating all over.

When he took a shower, the scorching sun had slowly risen, hanging from the treetops in the distance, casting golden light on the milky white curtains, and the mottled light and shadows were golden and warm.

An unknown bird swept through the light and shadow, and the ink tail cut open the charming golden light.

Chen Shuting went downstairs to buy breakfast himself.

After he had breakfast, he cleaned up his house before Xiao Ling rushed over with him with breakfast.

"You have eaten it all, I have eaten it." Chen Shuting said.

"Oh..." Xiao Ling was stunned, "Brother Chen got up early again today?" Then, he indeed ate both breakfasts, and he was a little overwhelmed.

At 10 o'clock, the company had a meeting, and Lao Xie repeatedly told Chen Shuting not to be late.

Therefore, Chen Shuting and Xiaoling left home at half past eight.

There was indeed a traffic jam on the road.

Xiao Ling was so irritable that she kept sighing, while Chen Shuting followed the singing lessons he downloaded from the company's project bank to practice raising his voice.

When Chen Shuting tightened his voice, his voice was sharp and harsh. Xiao Ling was blocked in the traffic, and was broken by Chen Shuting's throat behind him, thinking to himself: "I want to hit someone!"

"Who do you want to hit?" Chen Shuting asked.

It turned out that what Xiao Ling thought was, she said it to herself.

Xiao Ling was in a bad mood and followed Chen Shuting for a while. He knew that this boss was not a joke, so he told the truth: "You, and the driver in front of him."

"You can't beat it." Chen Shuting said calmly, then continued to silence his voice.

Xiao Ling continued to be irritated.

They drove in the traffic speed for more than an hour, and finally felt downstairs of the company at 9:48.

Chen Shuting was about to be late, so he ran all the way to the conference room that Lao Xie told him.

The conference room was already full of people: nine artists and agents. They were all playing with their phones, waiting for the director to arrive.

Chen Shuting sat next to Lao Xie.

Chen Shuting had just sat down when the person in charge of the program came in.

The director's surname is Bai, and his name is Bai Qinian. He is a man in his fifties. He is tall, fat and imposing. He is a senior musician. Many of the songs that have become popular all over the country in the company are written by him.

Bai Qinian is a behind-the-scenes music talent. He is serious and doesn't talk nonsense at the beginning. He just talks about the company's crisis first: "This year is a turbulent year. Li Chun-kong has left, and there is another scandal in the program we jointly created with Zhejiang TV.

This time, I hope you and I will work hard to fight a beautiful turnaround, just like the box office of "Proud in the Sky", withstand the pressure from the outside world and make a perfect counterattack!"

When he was speaking, he looked at Chen Shuting and Lao Xie intentionally or unintentionally.

Everyone also secretly glanced at them.

Lao Xie and Chen Shuting sat upright, listened carefully to Bai Qinian's words, nodded, smiled, and be serious, as if they didn't quite understand Bai Qinian's hints.

After Bai Qinian finished speaking, everyone applauded, and Chen Shuting and Lao Xie clapped.

Then, Bai Qinian talked about the next public relations steps: first deny the video and deny the content of the video conversation; then Gu Shuijun used a "professional" perspective to analyze the video, point out the loopholes in the video, and obtain the fake results; the program team's official criticized the person who posted the video and asked the other party to apologize, otherwise he would send a lawyer's letter.

All those who participate in the program must forward the meager "refuting the rumors" and do not be guilty of maintaining the program "Idol's Voice".

"The 800,000 notice fee also includes the public relations fee." Chen Shuting thought to himself.

Like all the artists who participated in the show, he wrote down Bai Qinian's request.

Then, Bai Qinian's secretary and colleagues from the company's legal department took the contract to sign for them.

Chen Shuting signed it.

After signing the contract, some artists stayed to inquire about the next program arrangements, while some artists stood up and left.

Chen Shuting and Lao Xie greeted Bai Qinian and left.

On the 18th, the company transferred Chen Shuting's after-tax money in the morning; in the afternoon, Chen Shuting received an email forwarded by Lao Xie to him, and the new schedule of "Idol's Voice" was released.

"There are two groups A and B. The lottery process will be recorded at 9 pm on the 19th; the rehearsal of Group A on June 21; the rehearsal of Group B on June 28. The first rehearsal of songs are decided, and the songs will be selected; three singers are eliminated in the first period, and one in each group will be eliminated in each period; the judges score, and the White Fox Video website scores on the spot, which is included in the total score of the second game." Chen Shuting slowly reads the information sent by the program team.

After reading it, he understood.

"The scoring rules have changed a lot." Chen Shuting said to Lao Xie.

"Yes, the White Fox Video website originally obtained the Du family's online live broadcast rights for this program. The program team discussed with them that since they wanted to change, they simply used their program team's scoring system to give netizens a rating.

Baihu Network Video once did similar programs. Their backend system is very mature and there is no need to add it extra." Lao Xie said.

"How to stop ticket swiping?" Chen Shuting asked again.

"It cannot be eliminated, and it can only increase the cost of swiping votes: only VIP members of the White Fox Video website can participate in the voting. VIP members are the cheapest monthly member, 19 yuan per month." Lao Xie said, "Netizens are not at a loss. Originally, the White Fox Video website has a membership system. Once a member is recharged, you can vote and watch VIP movies of White Fox Video."

"How do you score?" Chen Shuting asked again, "Online scoring is the same as judges' scoring?"

"No." Lao Xie said, "Three people were eliminated in each group in the first episode, and one person was eliminated in each group in each episode. After the first episode ends, netizens can vote for their favorite contestants within 24 hours.

At the beginning of the second period, after each contestant finished singing, the person with the lowest score given by the judges will have a final PK with the contestant with the lowest score on the Internet in the previous period, and then the judges will score it to eliminate the person with the lowest score in the PK competition." Lao Xie said.

Chen Shuting fully understood.

"Will the audience buy it?" Chen Shuting said, "It seems that the system is open and transparent, but the final decision is still in the hands of the judges. Moreover, they need to spend money to vote, which is particularly unpleasant."

"Whether you buy it or not, it's an experiment." Lao Xie said, "When the show comes here, you have to go down, otherwise many people in charge will suffer."

"I have to say that they are very brave and have a quick reaction." Chen Shuting also fairly praised the "Accidental Voice" program team.

"They have completed the first phase, and everything is ready." Lao Xie said, "and the partners are all top in the industry, so this ability to adapt to it is still possible."

Chen Shuting nodded.

On the morning of the 19th, Lao Xie and Xiaoling accompanied Chen Shuting to Hangzhou.

After staying in the hotel, the program team immediately sent an internal assistant to explain the new rules and regulations.

The assistant assigned to Chen Shuting was a girl named Wan.

At nine o'clock in the evening, Chen Shuting and the other nineteen contestants went to the studio where the program was recorded and took group draws.

There is no need for rehearsal for lottery draws. There are many white notes on the huge table, and twenty people surrounded them from all directions. When the director shouted, each of them took a note.

Chen Shuting took the closest picture to him.

Expand and look at Group A.

That is to say, he needs to stay in Hangzhou and participate in the rehearsal on the 21st; and the ten people in Group B can go back temporarily and wait for the 28th to participate in the rehearsal.

"Yang Lele, Sun Yan, Zhou Wei, Chen Shuting, Zhou Yudan, Qin Yuanming, Wu Youyou, Zhang Song, Li Songling, Yang Yang."

This is a list of ten people in Group A.

"We will continue to record the song lottery, so everyone can go back and rest. When we come to rehearse the day after tomorrow, we will work hard today." The director said to everyone in Group A.

The camera and lights were ready, and the director called for a start, and everyone started drawing lots and drawing songs designated by the program team. This session must also be played.

Chen Shuting took the note closest to him again.

""Not even forgot." When the camera came over, Chen Shuting unfolded the note in his hand to let the audience see what song he had smoked.

In this recording, there is no NG to do another one, just pass it over and you will be unlucky if you don’t perform well.

When he returned to the hotel, Lao Xie found the song "The Unsense of Forget" for Chen Shuting to listen to.

"The Indifferent Forget" is the golden age of the music giant Di Mingju. The characteristic of Di Mingju's voice is that it has a strong and full tone, and this song is high and passionate.

After listening to it twice, Chen Shuting felt that this song was particularly difficult. The range span was very large and needed to change smoothly between true and false sounds; the endings of the song would explode, which would require a thick voice and high durability.

Whether it is skills or the durability of the muscles of the throat, it completely exceeds Chen Shuting's ability, and even exceeds the ability of more than 80% of singers in the Chinese music scene.

Chen Shuting's face was a little bad. He felt that the two primary "singing skills" of 85 gold coins and 150 gold coins in his system could not cope with this song at all.

Even a higher level of singing skills may not be able to cope with it.

This is too difficult!

"The song I drew was too difficult!" Chen Shuting said in a dismay, "Is the difficulty of the songs drawn this time similar?"

"No, it's a combination of difficulty and easy. You are more unlucky. You won the hardest one in this issue." Lao Xie said, "Don't worry, I'll say hello to the jury. No matter how bad you sing, you'll let you pass this issue. The three people you beat are definitely not you."

"Do they still dare to make a shady scene?" Chen Shuting couldn't help but be amused.

"Innocence, there are dark stories in places where there are people, let alone it's not a matter of being cut off." Lao Xie said.
Chapter completed!
