Chapter 21 "Singer" Live Broadcast
It was only after Xu Kong returned from the capital that Guo Zihao found out what he meant when he said that the script and director had been resolved.
"Are you really going to write, direct and act?"
"Brother, can you stop being so big!"
It's no wonder that his agent's reaction was so great.
The key is that this thing really sounds unreliable.
Even if Xu Kong is a newcomer and the first drama he shoots is small-budget, they still have to plan the entire project themselves.
This is already equivalent to the beginning of hell.
Xu Kong also plans to write his own script and be the director, which is so outrageous that his mother opened the door for him.
"Calm down, don't yell."
Xu Kong looked at the fussing Guo Zihao speechlessly.
At present, the whole process is much simpler than Xu Kong originally thought.
Most of the preliminary preparations have been basically completed. With Song Youyou joining the cast, filming should be able to start normally.
Xu Kong has never been a director, so he doesn't have much experience.
But this does not prevent him from copying homework. This has always been Xu Kong's confidence.
Even if he filmed the entire drama one-to-one in his own mind, Xu Kong didn't think "Want to See You" would be a splash at all.
A small investment budget becomes an advantage at this time.
Because the difficulty of getting back the money in the end has also been reduced a lot.
"I"
Guo Zihao stammered for a long time and found that he couldn't defeat Xu Kong.
He wasn't sure if the other party's confident look throughout the whole process was just an act.
"By the way, is the first episode of Mango Channel's "Singer" going to be broadcast today?"
Xu Kong suddenly remembered something and asked.
At this time, Guo Zihao was still immersed in the worry of knowing that Xu Kong planned to direct and act on his own, so he just nodded lightly.
"The show "Singer" has been quite popular during this period. Although this is almost the fourth or fifth season, it is the first time that the entire program has been broadcast live, which is quite bold."
"You must know that in live broadcast, without post-production editing and re-recording, the probability of the singer overturning is very high."
"The variety shows on Mango Channel are really good at creating topics and hot spots."
Xu Kong stood up from the sofa and turned on the TV, which he rarely watched on weekdays.
"Why are you suddenly interested in this show?"
Guo Zihao was a little strange.
Xu Kong's popularity is indeed very high, especially after the song "Best Bad Friend" became popular some time ago, it can almost be said that he has been firmly included in the top list of domestic entertainment.
However, a highly professional music competition variety show like "Singer" has nothing to do with Xu Kong.
He wants to be on "Singer", not to mention that Mango Channel is unlikely to agree, and Fengqing Entertainment will not agree.
Because if you go up there, with Xu Kong’s singing skills and strength, there is a high probability that it will just be embarrassing.
"Su Zhi is one of the participating singers."
"Didn't the company ask me to write a song for her before? It seems that she plans to sing my song on the show."
Xu Kong answered nonchalantly.
Guo Zihao reacted for a while, and then looked in Xu Kong's direction with a shocked expression.
"What?!"
"Will Su Zhi sing the song you wrote when participating in the show this time?"
Xu Kong subconsciously covered his ears.
"Can you please stop being surprised every day?"
Guo Zihao still had a serious expression: "Is the news accurate?"
"Su Zhi told me before, I don't know if she plans to sing my song in the first episode." Guo Zihao couldn't understand why Xu Kong was so calm.
"Do you know what it means if Su Zhi really sings your song?"
"Do you know how popular "Singer" is this year?"
Xu Kong was holding the fried chicken that had just been delivered to him. After taking a bite, he shook his head.
He spent all this time on the preliminary preparations for the drama "Meet You". Even when he was free, he was reading some director-related books. He really didn't pay attention to Weibo hot searches and online searches. various public opinions.
"Pay attention to your body shape and eat less."
Guo Zihao reached out and snatched the fried chicken from Xu Kong's hand, and then said seriously:
"If Su Zhi really sings your song on "Singer", it will definitely be a huge traffic!"
"Of course, the premise is not to finish last."
"Otherwise, Su Zhi's fans will probably blame you for the failure of your song."
Xu Kong once again took a piece of fried chicken from the family bucket in front of him.
“I run and keep fit every day, so what’s wrong with eating some high-quality carbohydrates?”
"You go on, so what?"
Guo Zihao rolled his eyes.
"Brother, can you be a little more careful? As long as the marketing is better, we can get huge traffic from this "Singer" program"
Xu Kong understood what Guo Zihao said very well.
For a traffic idol with few works, such popularity is definitely a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
With so many years of experience as a top player, Xu Kong certainly knows very well how this process should work to maximize benefits.
But since the project of the drama "Want to Meet You" was established, he has also figured out that as a top player in this life, there is no need to follow the old path.
In this case, this kind of traffic is not that important.
Therefore, from the very beginning, he had no intention of overdoing his presence, taking advantage of the popularity of the "Singer" program, and just let nature take its course.
"You make it unnecessary for the company to buy hot searches or market me."
"I have my own plan for this matter."
Just as Guo Zihao was about to speak, the "Singer" program had already started broadcasting.
The host on the stage is Bai Ziyang.
The other party has so many years of hosting experience. Although he is so famous and has marketing, his basic field control ability is still quite strong.
Even in the form of live broadcast, everything seems to be in order.
From the opening of the show, to the brand's sponsored advertisements, to the detailed introduction of all the contestants on the show, etc.
If it weren't for the word "live broadcast" in the upper right corner, there would really be an illusion that the program was recorded.
"Su Zhi shouldn't be at the bottom, but it's too difficult to get first place."
"Guan Ting, Tao Zidan, a veteran in the music scene, has great stage experience and singing skills."
"Damn it, why did you even invite two powerful foreign singers, William and Elvie?"
While watching the show, Guo Zihao was thinking about it, and would exclaim from time to time, obviously quite involved.
Xu Kong is no stranger to the seven singers on the show, including Su Zhi.
Guan Yan is a national first-class singer and a member of the national team. There is nothing to question about her strength. Participating in the show feels like a dimensionality reduction blow.
For example, Tao Zidan, the king of singing, has won the best male singer award in various domestic awards more than once. Although he has always sang popular songs, no one will question his singing skills and voice.
As for the other two foreign singers, Xu Kong only knew their names and had heard a few masterpieces, but could not find more detailed information from the original owner's memory.
But European and American singers who have a certain degree of popularity in China must not be bastards.
In addition to Su Zhi, the other three include Yuanhong Band and She Huai, a new generation singer in the music industry. Xu Kong doesn't know much about him, but judging from Bai Ziyang's introduction just now, Yuanhong Band should be singing Rock and roll, Yu Huai's specialty is R&B style rhythm and blues.
Such a lineup, to be fair, is already quite strong.
Su Zhi, the youngest diva in the history of the Chinese music scene, does not necessarily have many advantages.
