Chapter 20: Prepare to Fight the Whole World
The recording of the third season of "China's Got Talent" is in full swing.
But the program's chief director is a little worried, mainly because the ratings of the first two seasons of the show were very good, but since the recording of the third season, there has been no contestant who has impressed him.
This type of contestant does not have a fixed style. You can play the piano with your feet, you can be a stuntman, or even a pole dancer in a nightclub.
What is important is not what is performed, but whether it can attract the audience and spark discussion.
It doesn't matter whether your eyes suddenly light up or darken.
Unfortunately, this season's shows have been too mediocre so far.
But today, half of his troubles were solved.
Because a person who made him feel dizzy appeared.
But it also brought new complications.
In the office, the program director looked at Bai Youlou hesitantly, as if he was in a dilemma.
After smoking two cigarettes in a row, he frowned and asked, "Just go on stage and sing, it doesn't matter if you get eliminated?"
"Yes, it's up to you to arrange it." Bai Youlou said affirmatively.
"Can you accept sharp comments? Our judges may have some..."
"Please ask them to be sharp, but if I start arguing with them, can you guarantee some shots?"
"As long as you don't say too many swear words, no cuts!"
Cut it? How can it be cut? This is a guarantee of ratings!
The director had an idea in mind.
He didn't care what song Bai Youlou and the ugly bald man beside him were going to sing.
Sing whatever you like, as long as it can add some heat to the show.
The idol who was blackened by the whole network tried to make a comeback on the talent show, but was harshly criticized by the judges and left the show in disgrace. This topic is quite debatable if you think about it.
After thinking about this, the program director's attitude towards Bai Youlou became better, fearing that he would change his mind and not want to go on stage.
Young man, you are a good man!
Sacrifice yourself to light up others. If the ground wasn’t a little cold, I would kowtow to you!
After coming out of the office, Long Ziqiang came up with a key question, "Director, how do we promote the movie? Should we just say it when we introduce ourselves?"
Bai Youlou shook his head. "It's quite possible that it will be cut. Don't overestimate the integrity of these people. Lao Zhou should have prepared the props."
Props?
This word is familiar yet unfamiliar.
He was very familiar with this when he was filming on the set before, but Long Ziqiang couldn’t think of any props needed for singing.
Until he saw the white T-shirt with the words "Whiplash, released October 1st" printed on it.
This advertisement is too damn harsh!
"Do they know how to blur the images?" Long Ziqiang asked stupidly.
“Don’t underestimate the curiosity of netizens.”
add mosaic?
If the program crew really blurs out his clothes, the topic #What is written on Bai Youlou’s clothes# will most likely become a hot topic.
This is also one of the marketing methods that was used too much in the previous life.
Girls who wear very little clothes, with their private parts vaguely visible, are much prettier than those who are completely naked.
We all learned the phrase "holding the pipa half-covered" when we were in school.
Humans are just that kind of creatures.
"Got Talent", "The Voice", "Singer", "Tomorrow's Star".
After a few days, Bai Youlou, like someone who had not eaten for three days and three nights, went through the entire list of programs given by Lao Zhou with Long Ziqiang.
The main point is that a person who is so hungry that he will eat anything.
The result is that 90% of the programs are willing to let him appear on stage.
It’s not that we can’t afford the idol Bai Youlou, but that the collapsed Bai Youlou is more cost-effective.
He didn't want to be paid for his appearance, he just wanted to be a "clown" for free to attract attention, anyone who didn't take advantage of this would be a fool. During this process, Long Ziqiang also stepped up his practice of the song Bai Youlou gave him.
This was something he had dreamed of before filming.
Bai Youlou did not disappoint him. The songs he gave him were enough to fill two albums.
I can’t practice it all, I absolutely can’t practice it all, so I can only pick a few songs to practice first. After all, Mr. Bai is “rich and powerful” and can afford to let him sing different songs on every show.
Every song is original! It really opens the eyes of the music world!
But... Long Ziqiang soon discovered something was wrong.
When Bai Youlou was performing before filming, the songs he sang were the kind that made people want to pack their bags and set out to see the world.
Long Ziqiang really loves those with themes of freedom and dreams.
However, the songs given to him are dynamic, fast-paced, and a bit brainwashing to put it nicely.
To put it bluntly, it's more or less a bit of folk music, and some of the songs even have DJ accompaniment.
She is the type of person that Long Ziqiang didn't even like to sing when he was singing in the bar.
Long Ziqiang bravely raised the question about this issue. He is very courageous and bold in this regard.
However, Bai Youlou's answer dealt him a direct blow.
"You'll be famous if you sing this."
"what?"
Long Ziqiang looked confused because this was really his blind spot in knowledge.
Until Bai Youlou handed over a mirror.
He got it.
Bai Youlou: He looks so unfashionable, it would be a waste if his songs don’t make people dance to his music.
Besides, Long Ziqiang doesn't sing. Can't let Bai Youlou sing this kind of song? He doesn't like it very much either.
It's all because I watched too many short videos in my previous life, and I suddenly know a lot of weird things.
But I remember it very clearly. How can I complain about this?
Seeing that Long Ziqiang seemed to still be coveting his "Three Hundred Children's Songs", Bai Youlou did not let him get his wish.
Want to get a glimpse of the "unparalleled secrets"? First, you need to understand the "basic swordsmanship".
Then he turned around and handed the "Three Hundred Children's Songs" to Zhang Xiaorong, "Pick a few songs. I have marked the ones with accompaniments."
Zhang Xiaorong took it directly with her hand, seemingly having no intention of being polite to Bai Youlou at all.
But before flipping through the pages, she said, "I have to go back to school and take a leave before I can go on the show with you guys."
"Director, are you going to let Teacher Zhang be scolded along with us?" Long Ziqiang couldn't help but said before Bai Youlou could say anything.
"Go practice singing!"
After scolding the annoying guy away, Bai Youlou looked at Zhang Xiaorong again.
Before he could say anything, Zhang Xiaorong said considerately, "It's okay. I don't go online very often, so I'm not afraid of being scolded."
"You don't have to be scolded. Who said you were going to be scolded? You are my insurance."
"Hmm?" Zhang Xiaorong blinked, not quite understanding what he meant, and asked speculatively, "Do I go after you guys finish the show?"
"No, you can be on the same show with us, but don't say that the song was written by me, and don't walk together."
"That's not allowed!"
Zhang Xiaorong, who had always been elegant and calm, suddenly became extremely resolute, even a little too forceful.
Perhaps because she was fair-skinned, Bai Youlou clearly noticed that the area from her neck to her ears was a little red.
It's not because I'm shy, I just used too much force.
This physique is crystal clear.
"You didn't understand what I meant." Bai Youlou wanted to tease the girl again, to see how excited she could be, what she would look like when she was completely excited, and what kind of "beautiful scene" she could present, but he finally gave up under the serious and determined gaze of Zhang Xiaorong.
In the end, he just said, "When I fight against the whole world, I have to have an insurance policy, right?"
".me?"
"Then would you?"
