The richest person in Chinese entertainment

Chapter 249 Four New Songs, Growing Up
"Zhang Chen, I think everyone is more curious about whether you will join the Voice of China World Tour?"

Teacher He puts himself into the audience's perspective and naturally knows what the audience is thinking at the moment.

And after this period of adjustment, Teacher He also developed feelings for this program.

Whether it is the generous remuneration or the exposure that "The Voice of China" brings him which far exceeds "Happy Camp", it motivates him to learn about this program.

In normal times, he also uses channels such as Weibo to learn about netizens' opinions.

One of the things that everyone is most concerned about is why Zhang Chen did not participate in the recording of "The Voice of China".

Although he participated in the live broadcast today for some reasons, what everyone is more concerned about is whether Zhang Chen will be present when all the mentors and students of "The Voice of China" in the two countries hold a concert together.

Because from the very beginning of the show, the audience of "The Voice of China" has included most of the audience in the entire Western world and Southeast Asia.

However, because the reputation of its mentors is weaker than that of the United States, the audience of "The Voice of China" is only China and some audiences who like Zhang Guorong.

This is also the reason why China cannot watch "The Voice of China". If Chinese audiences had a choice, the ratings of "The Voice of China" would be cut a lot.

As for why everyone is more concerned about whether Zhang Chen will participate, it is naturally because they do not want to be weaker than the United States in terms of mentor lineup.

The other side has the world pop superstar Michael Jackson and the world pop music queen Madonna. If China has Zhang Chen, the world pop king who is currently recognized as the world's number one creator, the strength of the two sides can be compared.

The Chinese people never want to be inferior to others in certain things, and even want to be the best in all aspects. This is something that many foreigners cannot understand.

"World Tour?" Zhang Chen hesitated. "Let's talk about it later. Let's continue to focus on this competition."

He didn't give a definite answer, neither saying he would go nor saying he wouldn't go.

In fact, his schedule for next year is already fully scheduled.

First of all, as a regular attendee of the Spring Festival Gala, Zhang Chen did not do it for fame or money, but only wanted to give a New Year's signed album to his dear elders, so he had to go.

Next came the filming of "The Return of the Condor Heroes". Zhang Chen really wanted to finish the filming of these TV series as soon as possible. He worked non-stop for more than a year and almost vomited from filming.

After that was the 04 Athens Olympics. The relevant departments hoped that Zhang Chen would perform at the closing ceremony of the Athens Olympics as a member of the BJ Olympic delegation.

Although this matter has not been settled yet, it is something that cannot be ignored and he needs to take it seriously.

Another thing is the company's film plan. Since promising several films, Huaguo has already submitted several scripts after the outlines provided by Zhang Chen and the improvements made by the company's screenwriters. Once they are approved, he, who is serving as a producer for the first time, will definitely need to take on the task of inviting directors and actors and forming a crew.

If all goes well, he will also try to make one or two dramas in Hollywood. This is also within Zhang Chen's plan, which is to use foreign achievements to open up the domestic market.

In addition to these tasks, he also needs to personally oversee some other miscellaneous business activities, so he may not be able to find time next year.

As for why he didn't directly refuse because he was so busy, it was naturally because he also wanted to go. After all, it was a concert with Michael Jackson, and perhaps in a few years, he would forever miss the opportunity to perform on the same stage with this world superstar.

Zhang Chen was thinking about something while also coming to the guest seats, which were already filled with students from various teams who had not successfully advanced.

"Brother Chen, can you help us write a song too?"

A girl who looked like a boy and had baby fat on her face interrupted Zhang Chen's thoughts.

Zhang Chen looked up and saw the "E" in the club.

After hearing Ella's words, the other students looked at Zhang Chen expectantly.

They also saw the influence and shock brought by the songs written by Zhang Chen.

It is no exaggeration to say that the song Zhang Shaohan just got is enough to last her a lifetime.

Every singer doesn't want to have a song that all fans will remember for a lifetime.

"You guys have signed a contract with a company, so there will be opportunities."

Zhang Chen smiled at them.

These are his cash cows.

As long as he writes representative works for each of them step by step, he won't have to worry about their subsequent developments.

The reason why Zhang Chen signed these three members of the club was...
Sometimes, whether a contract is signed depends entirely on the agency's decision. Because it is a full contract rather than a half contract, all the agency activities of the "Voice of China" students and whether they release records are decided by Morning Light Music.

While Zhang Chen was chatting with several students, several students on the stage had already finished singing with their respective instructors.

Princess Wang & Liu Yifei - "Time Cooks Rain"

Zhang Guorong & Lin Junjie - "Exchange of Life"

Liu Huan & Yao Beina - "Ordinary Road"

Luo Dayou & Wang Xinling - "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star"

Because it was a performance-type singing, all the students unanimously put the songs they got from Zhang Chen into the later competition, instead of singing directly with their mentor like Zhang Shaohan did.

After all, good steel should be used on the blade.

The songs they selected were all those that Zhang Chen had released before, which is also related to copyright.

If he chose other songs, he would have to get the consent of other singers. However, Zhang Chen himself was the initiator and boss of this program. He used his own songs to have these contestants cover them. Although he still collected copyright fees, the money went directly into his pocket. This was another little trick used by a shareholder to get money from the company.

Besides, Zhang Chen’s own music library has all kinds of songs, from pop, rock, folk to opera, there is always a song suitable for students and mentors to cover.

This was also the first choice of many contestants at the beginning of the "Voice of China" program.

"The wind is sticky here.
粘住 过 客 的 思念
When the rain comes here, it's tangled up in a thread
Wrap us around the world

You are by my side

Fate is written on the Sansheng Stone

"

The first to perform was Lin Junjie from Zhang Guorong's team.

The song Zhang Chen gave was naturally this person's famous song.

According to the original trajectory, JJ Lin would have made his debut with this song in 04.

But by mistake, he participated in "The Voice of China" and missed his original record company.

Zhang Chen couldn't bear to watch him miss this famous song, nor could he let him go home to inherit billions of dollars.

Zhang Chen, a young man with hidden wealth who is already rich enough to rival a country, is still singing. How can he let JJ, who has not yet made his debut, go home to inherit the family property? He can't bear all the suffering alone.

The song "Jiangnan" is a special love song that has gone through the confusion of time and space. It specially adds the very Chinese dongxiao and guzheng to the rhythm of Western rhythm and blues, which is similar to the musical instruments "Shakuhachi" and Koto.

Lin Junjie's clear and transparent voice, which is completely comparable to that of a girl, also interprets the emotions expressed in this song very well. He wants to convey the so-called loyalty in love through the spirit of the ancient Chinese "knights". The song actually wants to express the unchanging concept of love from ancient times to the present.

"Dear audience members at the scene and in front of the TV, JJ Lin has finished his performance. If you like his performance of "Jiangnan", please send a text message from '01' to '840910870825' to vote for him. The voting channel will be opened after all singers have finished their performances."

After Teacher He introduced the voting method again, the second contestant to come on stage was immediately announced.

With the accompaniment of the live band teacher, Wang Xinling also performed a song for everyone, but Zhang Chen did not choose a new song for her.

It's a song originally sung by M2M called "The day you went away"

The reason why I didn't choose a new song is because the name of this song after being adapted into a Chinese song is "The First Person I Love".

"Gray sky your face
Loved, cried, laughed, suffered, and all that was left was goodbye

my face is wet with tears

This is how it feels to lose the person you loved for the first time

I always thought that love was the heartbeat of all
Losing love we will

dying slowly

"

This song is adapted from the song of super idol M2M. The listener can't even feel the heartbreak of this song, forgetting that everyone's world has tears and sadness, and ignoring the quiet side. Lyrics "The first person I love, his bad and his good.

It is also like a tattoo on the chest, a permanent mark. It reflects that the first love becomes an eternal symbol in life. The wise are in pain, while those who have experienced too many loves seem to be clear and numb. It is because of the innocence and ignorance of youth that unforgettable love is achieved.

A painting on white paper will always win over a painting on black paper, and the person you love for the first time will always occupy a huge space in your heart.

Wang Xinling reinterpreted the song with the coquettish voice of a Taiwanese girl, and it was also the first time she performed a song in front of the public as the "Sweetheart Queen".

All the audience were attracted by Wang Xinling's singing and dancing on the stage. She was also the first student to participate in the competition by singing and dancing today.

Previously, including Zhang Chen, Zhang Shaohan and Lin Junjie, they all fell into the category of "standing still" singers.

Therefore, Wang Xinling's singing style also added a lot of points for her in the eyes of the audience.

After Wang Xinling finished her performance, Teacher He also used the same words to introduce how to vote for Wang Xinling. Her SMS number was "02"

The third person to appear was Yao Beina.

This fellow villager, who comes from a musical family, has been learning music with his parents since he was a child, and has been practicing vocal music all year round after entering university.

If nothing unexpected happens, she will win awards in top domestic singing competitions such as the "Youth Song Contest" in the future. In terms of basic skills, she is the strongest among all the contestants.

Her voice is not as thin as that of ordinary girls, but rather full of explosive power.

Zhang Chen also specially selected a suitable song for her.

"The sea is endless

Can't see where the end is
Deep and attracts my heart, I am wandering
Love is sometimes high and sometimes low

Maybe there won't be anyone tomorrow.

Accompany me through the ups and downs
"

Horrible, this is the only word that can describe the feeling of this girl's voice bursting out on the stage.

With her solid foundation, Yao Beina had no difficulty singing the high notes, and such powerful energy could burst out from her small body.

It is extremely difficult to sing such a difficult song well during a live broadcast.

"Great." Zhang Chen couldn't help but applaud his fellow villager sister.

Indeed, Yao Beina's interpretation of this song is flawless and very stable.

As of now, Zhang Chen has a rough idea of the difficulty of the songs, which is:
"Maybe Tomorrow" > "Jiangnan" > "The First Person I Love"

If he were to judge the performance of the singers who have already performed on stage today, Yao Bei would undoubtedly be better.

But if the outcome of today's game is decided by the audience, the situation will be much more complicated.

After all, the audience is not a professional singer and cannot tell how difficult a song is to sing. They will only vote based on their own preferences, how good the song is, and how much they like the singer.

Therefore, the ranking in Zhang Chen’s mind cannot be used as a reference for the outcome of this game.

While Zhang Chen was thinking about it, the first round of singing tonight had come to the final moment.

"Look at how far we went yesterday
Waiting in the center of Destiny Square

those blurry shoulders
The more I run, the smaller I become
Every time I cry
Running with a smile again
Lost and searching at the same time
How small is your voice tomorrow?

But it reminds me what courage is

"

If the first three singers were able to more or less bring their own experiences into their singing, then Liu Yifei, a 15-year-old girl, was at a disadvantage.

When Zhang Chen was choosing songs for her, he had to consider whether Liu Yifei could sing the songs with real emotions.

Previous songs such as "Prank" can express her own mood.

But when it comes to the finals, other singers have to compete with talented students in high notes or singing and dancing, which is undoubtedly like an egg hitting a stone.

In the end, Zhang Chen had no choice but to ask Liu Yifei to find another way and use a slow-tempo song that could express the reluctance to part with friends and classmates.

Because although Liu Yifei is still young, she has experienced many separations.

Whether it is family or graduation, Liu Yifei has enough images and feelings in her mind to support her in singing this song well.

Sure enough, Liu Yifei's voice, which was not particularly memorable, was full of storytelling when she sang this song, allowing the audience, who were previously excited, to calm down and quietly feel the power that the song brought to them.

Zhang Chen looked at Liu Yifei who was singing hard with her eyes closed on the stage, and felt a little dazed for a moment.

Before she knew it, she seemed to have really grown up.

"Okay, the voting channel will be opened soon. Dear audience friends, please pick up your mobile phones and cast your precious vote for your favorite students. The channel will be closed in three minutes, and the results of the competition will be announced in 10 minutes."

The results of the first round of competition will be announced soon.
