In mid-July, "Tomorrow's Star" national top 50 advances to the top 20 ends, rest for a week, during which an additional round of play-offs will be played.
The winner can get the qualification to sing the song "Painting Heart" "created" by Cao Xuan himself.
?Because it is a play-off, and the publicity means more, the competition system does not strictly follow the progress of the second season of "Tomorrow Star".
The candidates for the play-offs are very simple, the top ten in online and SMS voting, regardless of whether the players are eliminated or not.
To put it bluntly, the gimmicks and exposure that movies need, it is really useless to have a singer who is good at singing but not very popular. What is needed is a popular singer to add luster.
Before the play-offs, 48 ??hours of voting time were set aside for all players to solicit votes.
In the end, 10 players were selected, all of whom were popular players, and only three of them were female players.
The song "Painting Heart" is more suitable for girls to sing, so at the beginning, this play-off competition basically decided the final candidate range by default, and even the competition system also canceled off-site voting, focusing on judges and on-site audience, which is convenient for operation.
Of course, if there are any male contestants who perform superbly, the program group does not have to be the top performer. With a little modification, the males of "Painting Heart" can also sing.
However, this year's "Rising Star" did not expect to disappoint Cao Xuan, and popular players often do not fully represent that they are capable players.
Among several male contestants, Ma Tianyu and Li Yugang are the most eye-catching ones. Yushen Xiao Jingquan, who barely made it to the top ten of Lin's popularity list, was eliminated in the first round because of his abnormal performance.
In addition, although Zhang Han and Li Yifeng are popular, their stage performances are still quite inferior.
On the contrary, among the female singers, Qi Wei and Shang Wenjie performed well and were taken care of by the program group. In the end, Qi Wei narrowly won and became the "lucky one" at the end.
As for Shang Wenjie, Cao Xuan has restrained himself by kicking her out of the second season of "Tomorrow's Star" without engaging in shady activities.
There is a mixed bag of dragons and snakes in the entertainment industry, but there are not many unscrupulous bosses like her who squeeze people's blood to death. Even a capitalist like Boss Cao feels disgusted when he sees it.
This kind of person thinks it's a waste of rope to hang the street lamp, so he chugs it directly, and the bullet feels unlucky
But even so, the result of this play-off still cannot hide the "shady" fact.
In the main competition of "Tomorrow's Star", Fanxing has not intervened too much internally. At most, it is helping some popular players from the side, hoping that they will go further and increase the ratings, but there is nothing shady about it.
Since the play-offs are about promotion + singer selection, there is not so much attention to it, and it is more about movies.
Although this kind of situation abounds in the entertainment industry, it is already an open secret, but Boss Cao is still relatively particular.
Afterwards, in the name of the "Painted Skin" crew, the program group gave each of the 9 unselected contestants an appearance fee of 10,000 yuan in cash as compensation and advertising expenses, and it did not make them a tool for nothing.
As for Qi Wei, he didn't have a dime, but he got an opportunity that was countless times more valuable than 10,000 yuan.
Signed a contract with Fanxing!
"Painted Skin" singing opportunity!
Sing at the premiere!
Even if she made it to the finals of the second season of "Tomorrow's Star", unless she won the championship, it would not be as good as the benefits of this play-off.
What she didn't even know was that due to the lack of overall contestants in the second season of "Rising Star" this year, Fanxing's threshold for signing singers has been tightened.
In addition to the scheduled top ten singers in the country, let's talk about one or two singers who perform well and are expected to break the limit.
And even among the top ten potential singers in the country, there are actually so few artists from other companies or other companies who are in contact with signing contracts, and Fanxing didn't stop them, which shows the disappointment in the quality of the contestants in the second season of this "Rising Star".
? Of course, Fanxing's high profile is also because the first season has caught a lot of good seedlings, not worrying about popular and talented singers, and the desire for newcomers is not so high.
Under such a premise, Qi Weineng was very lucky to be signed to Fanxing, and he could directly get the song written by Cao Xuan.
Not to mention the newcomers in the second season of "Tomorrow's Star", many famous singers in the first season are very envious.
Qi Wei himself was dizzy all the time, until he came to the Fanxing Building with the director of the Fanxing program group and signed the artist contract, he still felt a little fake.
"My surname is Wan. You can call me Brother Wan from now on. I see that you don't have a place to live in the capital on your profile. I'll take you to find a dormitory first."
Although she just signed the contract, Qi Wei was still assigned to an agent. The man who called himself Wan Ge arranged for her to work on the signing process, and by the way introduced her?Tens of seconds, the actual skin shedding is only about 6 to 8 seconds, but this skin, together with materials, technology, and post-production special effects, cost millions of RMB.
But the effect presented is very good, with a very high thrilling and suspenseful atmosphere, maintaining the weirdness and bizarreness of the story prototype "Liao Zhai".
Of course, "Painted Skin" is a commercial film after all, and similar plots are just a taste, but it is a good element and gimmick to promote and attract audiences.
Sure enough, this trailer had the greatest impact, and even the prototype story of "Painted Skin" became popular, and everyone was curious about the plot of the movie.
Could it be that Mr. Zhou wants to play a villain with a green face and fangs?
At this juncture, the third trailer was launched together with the promotional song "Painting Heart".
It is worth mentioning that the song "Painting Heart" was not composed by Cao Xuan, but by a Japanese composer in 2003. Of course, the copyright has now been bought.
"Loving you is like a heartbeat hard to touch
Drawing you can't draw your skeleton
Remember your face is my persistence in waiting for you
You are a song I can't finish singing
"
Cao Xuan, who was wearing an undershirt, frowned and looked at Mr. Zhou, his eyes were complicated, but turned cold, and he said "I have Pei Rong" and turned away.
Looking at his leaving back, Mr. Zhou's eyes were dim with tears, and his beautiful eyes were full of sadness and love.
On the other side, Hu Jing looked at herself in the mirror, as if she had made up her mind.
In the next shot, Hu Jing is attacking Young Master Zhou with a full head of white hair. At the critical moment, Cao Xuan fights out and repels the opponent, but when he sees Hu Jing's face clearly, he is terrified.
"It is your lost soul that cannot see through
I can't guess it's the color of your pupils
A gust of wind, a dream, love is as unpredictable as life
What is your heart bewitched by?
"
In the extremely fast plot, Hu Jing seemed to have become a big villain, doing all kinds of evil, Cao Xuan led his troops to chase and kill him, and at the last moment when he was about to kill the opponent with a knife, he suddenly squinted and turned to sweep to the side.
In the next second, Duan Long and Huang Bo appeared and fought with Cao Xuan. In the end, Cao Xuan was knocked into the air by Duan Long, and Mr. Zhou cast a spell to attack Duan Long.
In the last paragraph, Mr. Zhou's face was pure white, with blood and tears streaming down his face, and he was slowly lying in Cao Xuan's arms.
The camera zooms out, and it is the first time that Cao Xuan in armor rescues Mr. Zhou who is dressed coolly. Mr. Zhou looks at Cao Xuan with surprise and admiration in his eyes.
"
La la la la la la la
La la la la la. "
When the song is over, the trailer of "Painted Skin" also ends, and the audience understands the plot while being moved.
Before Mr. Zhou "molted his skin" he thought he was a villain, but he had feelings for her as a good person. This movie should be about the love between humans and ghosts.
Although it's a bit atypical, it makes sense. Since there is the reckless hero Xu Xian, shouldn't Mr. Cao be allowed to be a Ghost Rider
