Xia Fan stood up and walked a few steps, opened the drawer, and threw the invitation letter to the "I Am a Singer" finals into the drawer.
There are a lot of documents densely packed there, including various contracts and agreements since Xia Fan¡¯s debut.
There are company contracts, some commercial performance and endorsement contracts, and a music work sales agreement with Penguin.
Now, among the many documents, there is another invitation letter for "Singer".
"Sister Stefanie"
Xia Fan pointed to the pile of documents in the drawer with a smile and said: "One day a few years later, when I look through these documents, it will be a kind of memory of my career as an artist."
"Okay, I understand what you mean!"
The agent nodded seriously.
She seemed to have heard what Xia Fan meant. He hoped that this "Singer" finals would be part of his memory in the years to come.
Xia Fan really wants to participate in this competition as a guest singer.
¡¡
the next day,
Stefanie Lai was responsible for contacting Hong Yong, the person in charge of Mango TV's "Singer" program, while Xia Fan directly contacted Wang Weichen, the singing partner this time, and set out her own conditions.
Soon, the agent gave a reply: Hong Yong said that if Wang Weichen had no objection, he would not intervene.
"Xiaoxia, actually the old guy was resistant at first, but finally agreed. After all, the news that you will be a guest singer has been released, so they are a little passive."
"Of course, that guy Hong Yong also said that if the performance overturns and is ridiculed by netizens, the responsibility lies with you and has nothing to do with the program team."
After hearing this, Xia Fan smiled and replied: "Of course I have a sense of responsibility for this. Even if I don't perform well and I want to take the blame, Mango TV's shrewdness will definitely mobilize the navy to take away all my responsibilities."
"Then over Wang Weichen"
"Okay, I will contact you."
After Xia Fan hung up the phone, he was lost in thought for a while.
He knows that according to the rules of "Singer" in the past, the songs that guest singers and contestants sing will not be newly released songs, and of course they will not choose a song that has not even been released.
That is the stage of "Battle of the Singers". When the two sing together, they usually choose some long-famous hits. But even so, those old-timers who have been famous for many years and are even known for their superb singing skills will be involved in car accidents.
How could the program team allow the premiere of a new song to be put on this big stage?
"Is it possible that we will help you sing songs for free on the big stage of the finals?"
If you put aside CCTV, which is dominated by stars, and take into account all the major satellite TV stations, Mango Channel's pride has always been outstanding. The advertising fees for their various variety shows, whether they are competitions or reality shows, are almost all lower than those of other satellite TV stations.
??The flagship program "Happy Camp" basically provides no advertising fee for non-popular artists, and they even have to queue up to wait for the opportunity to participate in the program.
This time, it was Xia Fan who made this request. If it had been any other singer, it would have been very likely to have been rejected by the program team.
Since Xia Fan became popular, the program team of "Singer" invited him twice in a row, hoping that he could participate as the first singer, but Xia Fan flatly rejected him almost every time.
There was not even room for consideration, and the rejection was very straightforward.
However, the program team has a rogue trick called fan tricking. Every time before the starting list is announced, they will make insinuations and implicitly indicate that Xia Fan will participate in this session, which makes Xia Fan's fans and even movie fans excited.
As a result, when the list of first-time singers was announced, everyone found out that they had been deceived by the program crew, time and time again.
This time, even because of the reputation of this ace variety show, the program team did not dare to let the pigeons go anymore. Otherwise, the outside world will really think that you just can't hire Xia Fan and can only play sideline games again and again.
If this happens too often, it will lower the quality of the program!
"This time, Xia Fan must be the guest singer!"
This is Hong Yong¡¯s inner thought.
"Besides, Xia Fan hasn't released a single for a while, and the fans are pressing for it. If the new song is first sung on the final stage, the attention will not be low!"
Hong Yong still has this thought in his heart.
Xia Fan is no longer an ignorant newcomer. He roughly guessed what the "Singer" program crew was thinking.
After he came to his senses, he found Wang Weichen's name in his address book.
However, before the call, Xia Fan gave himself a plan. If the conditions could not be reached, he could change the singing partner, and the program team would probably agree.
You won¡¯t end up hanging from a tree.
"Hey, Xiaoxia, I'm really bothering you by singing this time. I feel bad."
After the call was connected, the two chatted for a few words. Wang Weichen also knew that Xia Fan was busy with business and thanked him repeatedly.
He knows very well that the reason why he has become famous in the past two years is absolutely inseparable from Xia Fan's help.
Xia Fan pondered for a while and replied: "Well, but I want to sing my own song this time, so there should be no problem, right?"
Wang Weichen was stunned for a moment, then replied: "Of course it's no problem, Xiaoxia, the first song you released yourself is a classic."
Xia Fan sighed slightly, it was obvious that the other party had misunderstood.
¡°It¡¯s not an old song, it¡¯s a new song, a new song I just wrote, and I want to sing it for the first time on the final stage.¡±
He said slowly, but his tone was very firm, as if there was no room for discussion.
"New song! This" Wang Weichen suddenly fell into silence, speechless.
There is no precedent for this on the "Singer" stage, especially the most important "Battle of the Singers".
The first singing of a new song is still in the context of a live broadcast. The risk is too great. He still wants to win the championship.
However,
Even though Wang Weichen felt some resistance in his heart, he did not refuse him face to face.
But after all, he is also a veteran, and he quickly thought of a countermeasure: "What did Director Hong say? It should be difficult for him to agree to this request, right?"
"He agreed. Director Hong said as long as you don't have any objections, then it's no problem."
Xia Fan replied calmly, which was like kicking the ball to his feet again.
"This"Singer" actually made an exception for you!"
Wang Weichen swallowed his saliva and replied bitterly.
He secretly scolded Hong Yong for being a deceitful person. Anyway, the other party¡¯s popularity would be enough to pursue ratings. If something went wrong with the performance, it would be him who would suffer the loss.
When it comes to singing skills, Wang Weichen has always believed that he is in the first echelon of the Chinese music scene. Even Xia Fan is a little different from himself, but he really can't sing and compose, so he relies on others to write songs for him.
He really wants to win the championship in this "Singer" competition!
Once you become the "King of Singers", your career will be greatly benefited.
For a moment, Wang Weichen regretted asking Xia Fan to help sing.
