A song under the sea, depressed the whole network

Chapter 216 Heading to Wu City

"Bai Zhu asked for leave to miss this singer's recording?"

As the chief director of the "Singer" program group, when I woke up this morning, the news I received was not a happy event that I didn't have to go to work today, nor was it a daydream about winning a lottery.

It was someone from Sun Entertainment who told him that Bai Zhu would be absent from the fourth recording of "Singer".

Hearing the news, the chief director of the show blinked his eyes in bewilderment, and originally wanted to discuss with Baizhu's manager to see if he could arrange a time.

In the end, the news was that Bai Zhu went directly to Wu City by car.

Alright, I'm going straight to the show, and I don't give the program team any time to react.

After hanging up the phone, the chief director who just woke up looked at himself in the mirror in a daze.

In fact, when recording a show, it is very common for an artist to ask for leave, let alone recording a variety show like this.

Even when shooting film and television works, such as movies or TV series, there will be times when actors in the crew ask for leave and vacancies.

It's normal to have leave at work.

but!

It's too temporary for Bai Zhu to ask for leave!

Give him a little time to prepare mentally!
This means absence means absence.

As the chief director of the "Singer" program, the man sitting on the bed naked now looked helplessly at the full-length mirror beside his bed.

"Forget it, let's call and talk to Director Ji first."

Sitting by the bed and thinking for a while, the chief director finally picked up the phone and dialed Ji Ge's number.

Ji Ge is the real person in charge of the program "Singer", and she is behind the establishment of the whole project.

Especially Baizhu, who was personally recommended by Ji Ge to sign the contract.

If there is something to report to the leader, he can achieve the current position of chief director of such a big program in Mangcheng Satellite TV, and the rules of the workplace will be clear.

In fact, Bai Zhu's asking for leave is not a big deal, but the current popularity of the program "Singer" has a lot to do with Bai Zhu.

If you are someone else, if you are absent from the recording, you will be absent. There will only be one episode of the show, and it will not have much impact.

However, Baizhu is different.

The show "Singer" has achieved such a high popularity, and it has a lot to do with Bai Zhu's traffic and the songs he performed perfectly on stage one after another.

It is even no exaggeration to say that at least 40.00% of the popularity of the program "Singer" is Bai Zhu's.

The chief director was just worried that Bai Zhu's absence from the recording of this episode would affect the popularity of "Singer".

After all, it is not easy for Mongcheng Satellite TV to produce such a popular program. As the chief director of the program, he must also be responsible for the entire program while receiving a high bonus.

In case the fourth episode of "Singer" is broadcast and the ratings are affected, how should I explain it?

So in the phone call with Ji Ge, the chief director still had a hint of the idea of ​​using the contract to pressure Bai Zhu to come back and record.

If you ask for leave, it will not affect my money, will it?
"That's right, that's right, Baizhu's manager just contacted me, and I don't know what to do if I'm absent from the recording!"

"A new challenge singer? There is a new challenge singer, and it arrived yesterday."

"Yes, it's the singer of Gao Canguo, who is quite famous. I saw that many fans on the Internet have started to pay attention to this matter."

"Is that so? Good! All right, all right!! No problem!!"

"Where is it! No hard work! No hard work! It's all what I should do, Director, you are exaggerating!"

The chief director of the show on the other end of the phone, nodded and bowed after talking with Ji Ge, and silently hung up the phone.

Then he couldn't help but sighed again.

"There's someone up there, it can't be done!"

It was already impossible to use the contract to force Bai Zhu back. Director Ji Geji even spoke up in person and agreed that Bai Zhu would be absent from the recording. What else could he, a subordinate, say?
At this moment, he can only pin his hopes on the singer from Gao Canguo.

I hope his popularity can prop up the lost popularity of Bai Zhu's absence from the recording!

Thinking of this, the chief director became even more helpless.

What do you think Baizhu is so strong as a popular singer?

It made the whole show have to count on him to drive the heat.

It's a pain for me, a poor worker!

……

Ji Ge, who had already come to Mangcheng Satellite TV, also hung up the phone call from the chief director to contact her, and involuntarily looked through the contacts on his mobile phone.

After opening the wechat between her and Bai Zhu, Ji Ge typed a paragraph on it, thought for a while and then deleted the words, chose Bai Zhu's contact number, and dialed.

"Hello? Jigo?"

"Are you going to be absent from the recording of the fourth episode of "Singer"?"

Sitting on the car, Bai Zhu was a little embarrassed when he heard Ji Ge's cold voice on the other end of the phone.

Because of the excellent performance in the program group in the previous episodes.

Regarding his absence from the recording of the fourth episode of "Singer" this time, Bai Zhu will not feel guilty when facing anyone in the entire program group.

Except for Ji Ge who called him at the moment.

After all, the resources of the program "Singer" were obtained at the beginning, which was the position that Jigot specially reserved for him.

In order to allow Baizhu to participate in the program safely, he even took him to Mancheng Satellite TV to sign the contract in advance.

So when Bai Zhu heard that Ji Ge called him at this moment, he hesitated for a long time in his mouth, and couldn't tell why.

"That Ji Ge, there is actually a reason for this incident, please listen to my explanation."

"You don't need to say, I know that you won't be absent from the recording of the show without special circumstances. I didn't call to blame you, I just wanted to ask you something."

"What do you say."

"Will you participate in the recording of the program after "Singer"?"

"Yes! I will definitely not miss the recording of the show after "Singer"! You can rest assured about this!"

"Okay, I see."

The TV station of Mangcheng Satellite TV, Ji Ge, who had a trace of anxiety on his cold face, immediately felt relieved after hearing Bai Zhu's words.

Even the cold voice in his mouth became softer.

"Tell me about me, the reason why I am absent this time is because..."

"beep...beep...beep...beep"

Bai Zhu, who had just promised Ji Ge, was about to explain why he was absent from this recording, when there was a hasty hang-up sound from the other end of the phone.

Looking at the hung up call, Bai Zhu scratched his head with a troubled expression on his face.

Did Ji Ge blame himself or did he not blame himself?

Not long after, Ji Ge's words were sent on Bai Zhu's mobile phone WeChat.

"Be careful on the road."

Bai Zhu looked at Ji Ge's words with a smile on his face.

"Okay! Guaranteed to complete the task!"

Just after talking with Ji Ge on the phone, Bai Zhu, who was leaning against the back seat of the car, received another message on his phone.

This is the document sent by the recording studio over there in Shanghai, and it is the song "Nocturne" that Bai Zhu bought at a huge price.

This song was prepared by Baizhu to participate in the selection of the Voice of Summer awards. Ji Ge is also his friend of Baizhu, and Ji Ge's aunt is his Baizhu's aunt.

Suddenly, the voice of Xia Xia is a new award that my aunt is personally in charge of, so I must strongly support it. A "Nocturne" will let them know what a king is.

As soon as the nocturne is played, go to the stage to accept the award!

That should be enough support!
After getting "Nocturne", Bai Zhu went directly to Zhao's recording studio in Shanghai to start making songs.

Now the song is finally finished, and the file is sent to Bai Zhu.

The next second after receiving the document, Bai Zhu quickly opened the registration address for Voice of Xia that Ji Ge gave him.

Fortunately, although it is a bit late, there is still more than an hour left before the registration deadline, so there is still time!

Opening the notebook he was carrying with him, Bai Zhu exported the file and uploaded it to Xia Zhisheng's registration official website.

The competition selection for Voice of Xia is actually quite simple, just open the official website and fill in the information to start registration. After the registration is successful, you can upload your songs to the designated interface on the official website.

After the song is uploaded successfully, the competition platform of Xia Zhisheng will divide the traffic platform according to the song, and finally increase the traffic and publicity continuously through the results.

Finally, the overall rating of the song is based on the judges' evaluation, fans' ratings and song sales data.

The approximate score is 3:3:3:1.

The last 1 is based on the originality of the song and the application of the foundation of music theory.

On the contrary, Bai Zhu felt very good about it.

Many of the so-called innovative songs now actually contain plagiarized elements in many parts of the chords and compositions.

And some original songs, although not plagiarized, are a particularly low-quality saliva song. Apart from using some common routine chords and composition templates to make up, there is no musical talent or knowledge of music theory at all.

But what is even more irritating is that even the songs produced by this method will sometimes become popular inexplicably.

It has become a very popular Divine Comedy that is sung everywhere on the Internet.

This has made many singers and composers in the music industry very complaining and dissatisfied.

For example, Bai Zhu heard dissatisfaction and incomprehension about such things more than once from people like Bian Wenxuan, Tao Weilai, Zhou Shanghua, and Sikongju.

To be honest, Bai Zhu also didn't understand these things.

Although, the original Bai Zhu didn't know much about music theory.

But so many songs and the creation experience in them kept pouring into Bai Zhu's mind through the system.

In fact, Bai Zhu has already learned a lot of music theory knowledge, including some extremely advanced and complex music theory applications.

Some are also extremely outstanding musical talents, so they can come up with methods and ideas.

Therefore, Bai Zhu himself is already considered a person with extremely solid knowledge of music theory.

As the ancients said, have you never eaten pork or seen a pig running?

After so many song theories and applications, even if Bai Zhu doesn't have any pork in his hands, at least he has caught a lot of pig hairs!
This time, Xia Zhisheng was willing to include the use of music theory knowledge and the degree of musical talent as a judging criterion when selecting awards. In Bai Zhu's view, this can be regarded as an improvement in the entertainment industry.

The file of the song "Nocturne" is not very large, because the things used in composing and arranging are not particularly complicated.

While watching the songs being uploaded quickly, Bai Zhu couldn't help feeling that sometimes geniuses' ideas are so different from ordinary people's.

This song seems to be about love, but it doesn't express much about love. It's more of a classical, retro, and romantic mood.

The very typical 6543 minor key is used on the chords, and the piano is used as the background color to decompose the chords of the whole song. The prelude at the beginning also specially uses the hoarse sound effect of the old tape.

It's like the interfering sound during wireless tuning, which can drag people into that retro feeling in an instant.

but!

But in this song, the most genius idea is not just these retro ideas and the idea of ​​using the piano as a base for chord decomposition.

It's that this song obviously doesn't use any classical music or rap, but it makes the whole song have a touch of classical flavor and rap feeling.

There is a particularly genius idea in this, that is, to perform a high-speed melodic progression with melody through major and minor keys.

In rap-like melodies, there is often a change from phonetic note 6 to dominant note 3, and when it is pulled to a minor key, it will form a sinking feeling from joy to sadness.

For example, "ant", "attraction", "expression" in the song...

Through the emphasis of the lyrics and the minor key, people can form a sense of rap.

This kind of thinking, really only with the inspiration of a genius, can it be possible to form such a result.

While Baizhu was still feeling emotional, the song "Nocturne" had already been uploaded on the official website, and Baizhu's registration was considered successful at this moment.

All you need to do is wait for the reviewer on the official website to confirm the song, and then put the song into the traffic pool to start promoting it. Baizhu will officially participate in the Voice of Summer competition.

But not long after, Bai Zhu, who was waiting for the review on the official website, suddenly found that the song he just uploaded was rejected by someone?
The reason for refusal has exceeded the registration period?

Bai Zhu looked at the official website, and there was still a 30-minute countdown to participate, so he silently took a screenshot, and then sent the screenshot to the reviewer who rejected it through the chat window of the official website.

Although I am a bit late in my registration, there is still such a long time before the end of the registration, how can I say that I have exceeded the registration time for the competition?
In an instant, Bai Zhu's stubborn temper rushed forward.

What annoys him the most is this situation of not following the rules. Even if he wants to leave work early, he can't be so unruly, right?
It seemed that he lost his temper because of Bai Zhu's screenshot, and the reviewer on the other side didn't say anything, but silently agreed to Bai Zhu's entry.

On the other side, in the office of Jingdu Central Music Headquarters, an employee looked at the computer in front of him with an impatient look on his face.

"I'm already getting ready to leave work, and I just signed up now? Why are you looking for it!"

I looked up at the time, it was more than nine o'clock, I had already been to work for an hour, and I could get off work in two hours.

Obviously the remaining two hours can be used as fishing time, but he never expected to work for this guy named Baizhu now.

Suddenly, the auditor's heart became unhappy.

Especially when I just called back this guy's registration application, this guy even pulled out the chat box and took a screenshot of the registration countdown to himself.

He's not blind, the registration time is indeed a little bit closer to the end, but it's less than half an hour!

What is the difference between ending and not ending? !

Entering Baizhu's registration information this time with a displeased face, and looking at the song file transmitted by the other party, the auditor didn't even think about it, and directly put this guy's music into the lowest traffic promotion pool.

Anyway, it's impossible for this guy to have a particularly good ranking, and there is no need for any selection of songs when they are sent, just give him a minimum traffic pool.

Bai Zhu, who was heading to Wu City in the car, didn't know the situation in Kyoto yet.

After seeing that his registration application was finally approved, he turned off the computer contentedly.

Trees passed by in a hurry outside the car window, and the weather was not very good. It was a bit gloomy, and very dense gray clouds were all floating in the sky, blocking the sun.

"Looking at the weather, it seems to be raining."

Looking out of the window, Bai Zhu murmured.

"It seems so. The weather forecast says that there will be thunderstorms in Wucheng City."

The driver driving in front also responded to Bai Zhu's words.

"How long will it last?"

"It will be almost there in about two hours, and it will be fast!"

The driver looked at the navigation on his car and said.

The car was running at a high speed on the highway, and many scenery flashed in front of us.

The driver sitting in front became a little curious.

"Mr. Bai, why don't you go to record the show, why do you have to go to Wudu City?"

"There's a fan over there."

"Fans?"

"A sick fan."

"Oh, oh! So it is!"

The driver who was driving the car was stunned for a moment when he first heard Bai Zhu's words, and then realized the meaning of Bai Zhu's words, and echoed repeatedly.

"I never thought Mr. Bai would care so much about his fans!"

The driver of the car laughed, flattered Bai Zhu, and then fell silent.

In his heart, he didn't care much about what Baizhu did. There are many sick people in this world, because it takes so much trouble for a fan. As a driver, he feels that Baizhu has more ideas about firing people.

Giving up a very popular and easy-to-money program for a fan?

This kind of thing, even if you think about it, it's impossible to happen. It's obviously hypocritical to pay attention to this fan. After a casual look, you can spread it on the Internet. At that time, won't you have a reputation as a fan and fan.

Celebrities, those who rely on fans to make a living can earn more money if their reputation among fans is good.

Thinking about it this way, it is indeed more cost-effective.

"If it were me, I would definitely make the same choice as Boss Bai."

The driver who drove this time muttered silently in his heart.
