The system implemented by "China's Good Music" involves several people scouting for new talent. If they find someone with potential, they can recommend them to the program's planning team. If the recommendation is accepted, the recommender becomes the singer's supervisor during the competition and can receive a certain amount of bonus and other intangible capital based on the singer's performance.
Li Chencan's supervisor is named Zhou Anjing, one of the more senior figures at "China's Good Music." Unfortunately, he has not achieved much success in recent years; the singers under his charge last year and the year before did not even make it to the top ten.
This year, Xiao Zhi, whom Zhou Anjing knows well, recommended Li Chencan to him.
Zhou Anjing has been closely observing what makes Li Chencan stand out...
The more he observed, the more he was amazed! The three songs "Deskmate," "Brother on the Upper Bunk," and "Friend" are of impeccable quality, and in terms of performance, they have already surpassed the level of an ordinary newcomer. Among the contestants of "China's Good Music," they are undoubtedly among the best.
Xingchuang is not a top-tier music packaging and production company, but the three songs they promoted managed to achieve such high download numbers and rankings, which itself proves the strength of these songs.
However, Zhou Anjing had two other options, which made him somewhat hesitant—after several consecutive years of failure, he was worried about failing again this year.
That evening, when he saw that the single-day download count for "Friend" had directly surpassed 200,000, Zhou Anjing called Xiao Zhi and expressed his desire to meet with Li Chencan. Xiao Zhi was very pleased—after working hard for Li Chencan for some time, it was finally time to reap the rewards.
When Li Chencan heard that the supervisor of "China's Good Music" wanted to meet him, he knew this was his chance to enter "China's Good Music" and use it as a stepping stone to formally enter the entertainment industry, and even to become a director and make movies in the future. He certainly would not refuse and would try his best to perform well.
The meeting with Zhou Anjing went very smoothly. After their conversation, Zhou Anjing realized that Li Chencan was indeed very wise, composed, and had his own ideas, but unlike some young people, he did not show off. This Li Chencan made Zhou Anjing very satisfied...
Thus, Zhou Anjing immediately decided to have Li Chencan participate in the 2013 "China's Good Music" which would officially start on July 9th!
However, when Zhou Anjing and Li Chencan finalized the details, he still reminded Li Chencan to be prepared to create many original songs. If he were to reach the championship, he would need to prepare more than twenty songs to have a good chance! Zhou Anjing only gave Li Chencan a deadline and directly told him the topic for the first week, asking him to prepare.
But Li Chencan immediately came up with a song! And it seemed he had not prepared it in advance!
At this moment, Zhou Anjing suddenly felt very shocked—could this be the legendary talent of Cao Zhi, who could compose a poem in seven steps? Li Chencan's speed was indeed terrifying.
At the same time, Zhou Anjing's confidence in Li Chencan grew even more... This time, the three people under his charge, including Li Chencan, would participate in "China's Good Music," and many would be eliminated.
The number of participants in "China's Good Music" is 120 people. The first round alone will take two weeks and directly eliminate 80 people, leaving 40... The 40 people will then eliminate 20, leaving 20, and then over two weeks, 10 more will be eliminated, leaving 10. These 10 will be eliminated over three weeks, leaving 4, who will compete for the top four over two weeks. This is the format of "China's Good Music."
The first round of "China's Good Music" is the most brutal, directly eliminating 80 people... This number is quite terrifying, with an elimination rate of 3/4!
Although there is no restriction on what songs can be performed in the first round, it is essentially a topic-based essay—singers need to perform a song about why they want to sing and what they want to achieve through singing. They need to reveal a bit of their musical dreams through this first song.
Moreover, the unwritten rule is that the song must be original... If it is not an original song, the impression score will be much lower than other contestants, and the evaluation will suffer greatly!
After learning about the requirements for the first round of "China's Good Music," Li Chencan immediately had a song in mind—after all, he came from another time. In that time, music had reached its peak, and he could directly use many types of music!
... Before "China's Good Music" officially began, Li Chencan first gave many interviews to journalists and had to make some speeches. He also went to the school to collect a 30,000 RMB prize and filled out his college applications, among other things, which quickly brought the time to the official start of the first episode of "China's Good Music."
The 120 participants in "China's Good Music" are selected from musicians across the country. In fact, regardless of whether they can achieve a ranking, as long as they make it to the list of 120, they are already halfway to success! They will also receive attention from many music companies, after all, these are 120 people selected from a billion people in the empire!
The first and second episodes of "China's Good Music" will be recorded on July 6th and then urgently produced over three days, to be officially broadcast on July 9th and July 10th.
In this situation, Li Chencan needed to follow Zhou Anjing to Zhonghai to participate in the recording of the first episode of "China's Good Music."
Through the three songs, Li Chencan finally managed to participate in this music program as he wished!
By July 6th, the download counts for "Deskmate" and "Brother on the Upper Bunk" had reached 730,000 and 670,000 respectively. Although "Friend" was released much later, it had already achieved 780,000 downloads, surpassing the others and becoming very popular on the Qianxun Music Chart, making Li Chencan's name even more well-known!
At the same time, the second part of "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty" had entered the publication process and would be officially released in about a month. The second part of "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty" was eagerly awaited by many people...
Li Chencan's career was becoming increasingly prosperous and full of hope.
PS: A new week has begun! I need recommendations, collections, and member points, all kinds of support!
