Lin Xiaoke on the side almost fell off the stool after hearing Xia Fan's soliloquy.
"Comrade, one mini-album a year is still considered dedicated? You know the singers in the record era, it would be exaggerated to have two regular albums a year!" Lin Xiaoke shook his head and sighed after hearing this.
"Master Lin, times have changed. What's more, the singers of that era could just cover Japanese songs, and they didn't need to create their own songs. They were all assembly-line products." Xia Fan laughed and joked.
"This is a fact, I don't deny it."
Lin Xiaoke nodded, "In this era, if a singer only sings covers, no matter how good the songs are, his achievements will not be great. The times are indeed different. Even if you can't write lyrics and music yourself, you still have to ensure that some of your masterpieces are The proportion of cover songs must be very low to gain a firm foothold in the music scene.¡±
Then he said to Xia Fan: "So singers like you are too precious for the Chinese music world."
This is not only because of the quality of Xia Fan¡¯s own works, but also because there are several masterpieces by many singers in the circle, all written by him. They are also ¡°genuine¡± original works, rather than specious covers.
A popular original song, even if it is produced by someone else, has a huge bonus for the singer!
Therefore, the title of Xia Fan, the gold medal producer, has long been resounding in the Chinese music scene, and many singers dream of collaborating with him.
Now, another invitation was placed in front of Xia Fan.
This is an invitation letter from Mango TV's flagship variety show "I Am a Singer", but Xia Fan is not asked to be a contestant, but to be a guest singer.
"I Am a Singer" has been held for 9 times, and now it is the 10th time.
In this time and space, the competition for "I Am a Singer" is relatively fair, with a lot less shady content, so it was not cut in half like in the previous life.
¡°It¡¯s still a phenomenal show.
In fact, "Singer" in its previous life was indeed a very good music variety show. It made many singers famous, and also made many senior singers become famous, giving those talented artists a chance to shine. .
But when Hua Tiandi won the championship in the last edition and became the last singer queen, it meant that this show had come to an end. After that, those singers with status and qualifications, who would be willing to wade into this muddy water!
"I Am a Singer" in this time and space is indeed the big stage that countless Chinese singers dream of.
Someone once joked that if a singer has never been on this stage in his career, he will definitely have regrets.
Even if you are a guest singer, that¡¯s fine!
"The program team hopes that I will be a guest to help sing Wang Weichen." Xia Fan took the invitation letter and said to his manager Stefanie Li.
Stefanie Lai curiously replied: "I think you are quite interested. Do you really want to go there?"
"Why not? This is a big stage, and it's the "Battle of the Singers", broadcast live across the country!"
Xia Fan is obviously very familiar with the competition system.
¡°After all, the preliminaries are all recorded and broadcast, and can be edited and modified. The program team has a lot of room for performance, but when it comes to the final battle of the king of singers, it is all live broadcast, without any element of fraud.
And in the absence of sound modification, the audience may ask: Are you sure I heard the same singer before and after?
Under this kind of pressure, for many singers, the pressure is obvious.
"It is indeed a big stage, I admit it. With the attention of the national audience, the pressure is so great that countless senior singers have learned a painful lesson!"
The singers who can be on the stage of the finals, or the guests who come to help sing, are all experienced singers. It is not easy to be out of tune and have broken notes under such circumstances.
But the key point is that the final stage is not a solo, but a duet between two people. In addition, the difficulty of the song is not low, which doubles the possibility of cover singing.
It is much more difficult for two people to cooperate than for one person.
So Stefanie Lai was worried that Xia Fan would also overturn the car at the scene.
In this way, it may become the material for countless netizens to ridicule!
What¡¯s more,
The program team of "I Am a Singer" is very impressive, and the advertising fee is very low. Although it is not as exaggeratedly low as the Spring Festival Gala, it is only tens of thousands of yuan, which is really pitiful compared to other variety shows.
"I understand, it has nothing to do with money, but I have to talk to Mango TV."
Xia Fan thought for a while and then replied calmly.?.
"It was Wang Weichen's idea or Mango TV's idea to invite you." Stefanie Lai thought for a while and raised the key points of the question.
"Both, Brother Weichen also wants me to be a guest, and Mango TV is also actively cooperating. They are worried that the advertising fee is not enough to invite me." Xia Fan replied calmly.
After all, he is someone who can turn down business opportunities that could make him millions just by showing his face.
"However, I am personally more willing to try such a stage. If I were to be a contestant, I would definitely not be happy to stay on that show for several months, but making a guest appearance and being on the final stage, that is another matter ¡±
Xia Fan shook the invitation in his hand. Although his expression tried to remain calm, the excitement in his heart was obvious.
"That guy Wang Weichen" Stefanie Li was silent for a moment, and then said slowly, "I was almost dead at first, but he became famous again because of the two songs you wrote for him. Now I'm striking while the iron is hot to participate in "I Am a Singer" ", performed very well, and even entered the finals. I invited you to help sing, obviously because I want to help my career."
"What exactly are you thinking?" She suddenly asked again.
Stefanie Lai did not say something directly. She always felt that Xia Fan going to that stage would not be of much benefit to herself. Instead, it would become a booster and help others take off.
"My new single is about to be released. I request to sing this song in the finals. This is the condition I am prepared to negotiate with Mango TV!"
Xia Fan¡¯s eyes flashed and he said calmly.
"Is this equivalent to asking this stage to help you sing?"
"Of course, it's just mutual benefit!" Xia Fan smiled slightly, obviously this was his real purpose.
Although frankly speaking, it doesn¡¯t matter if he doesn¡¯t go to that stage to sing, and his new single will most likely be a hit, but Xia Fan always feels that he should have such an experience and go to the stage of "Song King Showdown"!
"This condition I am afraid that Mango TV may not agree to it given its shrewdness, and there is no precedent before."
"If you don't agree, let's avoid discussing it!" Xia Fan shrugged and replied calmly, "Just because there is no precedent, does not mean that exceptions cannot be made!"
