the next day.
Wang Qian couldn't sleep in like he did at home.
He Dongming got up early in the morning and woke up Wang Qian. The two went out together, bought breakfast, and then drove to the performance venue of The Voice of China.
"There are quite a few contestants who have come to familiarize themselves with the venue these past two days. However, Director Zhou said that he would let you be the first to participate in the blind audition, so he would definitely give you time to familiarize yourself with the venue."
He Dongming was yawning.
Obviously, I didn't sleep well.
Wang Qian also rubbed his eyes, took out the razor in his bag and shaved his beard casually, eating a bun: "Actually, it doesn't matter whether I'm familiar with it or not, I'm just standing there singing, it's almost the same as in a recording studio."
The car soon arrived at a huge venue built specifically for recording variety shows, which was like a huge studio.
He Dongming took Wang Qian in and greeted many familiar people passing by.
He Dongming has always been generous and loves to chat, so he knows almost everyone in the program crew. He kept greeting them along the way, and some people even brought him breakfast.
"This is my brother, Wang Qian, a contestant participating in the blind audition this time. Please take care of him."
"My brother, Wang Qian. He's the humble gentleman on the new song list, right?"
"Yes, that's the boss of Haidilao, haha... my brother..."
…
He Dongming introduced Wang Qian to several people from the program team.
Wang Qian also shook hands and chatted with a few people he got along well with.
"Boss Wang, there are quite a few contestants here today to familiarize themselves with the venue. However, this is not a rehearsal, so it doesn't matter if there are many or few people. You just need to walk around the stage twice. I see Director Zhou arranged that you will be the first to go to the blind audition. Before the recording of the show, do you want to sing twice to get used to the equipment and venue?"
A middle-aged man spoke to Wang Qian in a familiar manner and offered him a cigarette.
Although Wang Qian doesn't smoke, he took it and said, "Thank you, Brother Li! I just came to check out the venue. There's no need for rehearsal. I wrote the song myself, I'm most familiar with it, so there's no need for rehearsal. We can just record it directly when the time comes... Besides, there are still NGs, right?"
Brother Li laughed, "That won't work. Unless it's a problem with the equipment, you can't re-record. If you don't perform well, it means you're not good enough and you're eliminated. This year, our show is going international, and people from abroad are watching it, so we have to be strict and professional... You're really brave to sing an original song. But I downloaded the songs you posted, they're really heartfelt, good songs!"
Wang Qian: "Thank you, Brother Li."
After chatting for a while, Wang Qian walked onto the stage of the recording site and turned around.
The stage is very large. Opposite it are the chairs of the four mentors, with their backs to the stage. On the side are the auditoriums, which are densely packed and can seat at least a thousand people.
All equipment has been installed and is undergoing final debugging.
Wang Qian took the microphone and tested the sound briefly. When he found that the equipment was of world-class standard, he felt relieved.
Zhou Qinghua walked in with two women.
A middle-aged woman in a women's suit and a young girl in a black skirt.
The girl had a calm temperament, not as cold as Jiang Yu, but with a kind of tranquility, and a pair of clear and natural eyes. When she saw Wang Qian walking on the stage, holding the microphone to test the sound, she nodded slightly, and then stood at the edge of the stage waiting, with her hands crossed in front of her, with the temperament of a lady from a famous family.
Wang Qian realized that the girl was the first one in He Dongming's stack of photos, Chen Xiaowen.
A talented girl from Central Conservatory of Music.
Immediately, Wang Qian finished his talk after getting familiar with the microphone equipment, walked off the stage, and handed the microphone to Chen Xiaowen: "Excuse me."
Chen Xiaowen nodded and smiled faintly, and the hair hanging down from her left ear shook slightly: "No, you are Wang Qian, right?"
Wang Qian nodded: "Yes, my name is Wang Qian."
Chen Xiaowen took the initiative to extend her slender, white right hand: "Hello, my name is Chen Xiaowen."
Wang Qian also stretched out his hand and shook it gently, then separated immediately. He smiled and said, "Hello, you seem to know me?"
Chen Xiaowen: "Well, I've seen your videos on the Internet, you're very interesting. I've also listened to your four songs, they're very nice and gave me a pleasant surprise. I saw in the song notes that these four songs are all your original creations, from lyrics to arrangement and recording, you did it all by yourself, it's amazing, I've wanted to meet you for a long time."
Wang Qian was slightly surprised.
Chen Xiaowen was not the aloof genius he had imagined, the one who looked down on everyone.
Just like the girl next door.
Wang Qian: "You're too kind. I heard from the program team that you are their top pick for the championship. I'm looking forward to your music performance."
Chen Xiaowen shook her head gently: "That's because they think too highly of me. I dare not say I will win in front of you. I think your ability is not inferior to mine. The singing skills shown in the songs you released are already at the top level of professional singers. There is no singer active in the entertainment industry who can compare with you."
Wang Qian blushed a little after being praised. He smiled and didn't know what to say for a moment.
The middle-aged woman in a suit said a few words to Zhou Qinghua, then walked over and said, "Xiao Wen, you can go up and try the equipment."
Chen Xiaowen nodded, nodded and smiled at Wang Qian again with a hint of apology, then walked onto the stage with slow and rhythmic steps.
Wang Qian knew at first sight that this girl had a good foundation in dancing and must have practiced dancing since she was a child.
After stepping onto the stage, Chen Xiaowei walked around the stage first.
The middle-aged woman put her hands behind her back, took two steps forward, and approached Wang Qian: "Hello, Wang Qian, I am Xiaowen's agent, Sun Jing!"
Wang Qian nodded gently: "Hello."
Sun Jing said softly, "Congratulations, all four of your songs are in the top ten of the new song chart at the same time. No one has done that in the past ten years. But I think you deserve it. I've listened to all four of your songs, they're very good. I haven't heard such flavorful new songs in a long time."
Wang Qian: “Thank you.”
Sun Jing: "After Xiaowen participates in The Voice of China, she will prepare for her debut and release a new song single. I hope I can have the opportunity to work with you then."
Wang Qian laughed and said, "Sorry, I don't know how to write songs for others!"
Sun Jing: "I see you and Xiaowen are having a good chat, you two should become friends. Xiaowen is a very proud person, not everyone can chat with her like this."
Wang Qian raised his eyebrows: "Oh?"
Sun Jing: "You will know later. By the way, I heard that you haven't signed a contract with an agency yet. With your wealth, you should not be short of money. What you lack is a top-notch agency team that can help you run the business, right? In this regard, I can provide you with a contract that is no less than Xiaowen's."
"Xiao Wen is the new talent our company is most optimistic about recently. Her first contract is for the top second-tier stars, but the resources she enjoys are at the level of first-tier stars. You can get these, too."
Wang Qian said seriously: "I think I can get a first-tier contract directly, or even higher!"
Sun Jing laughed: "You are very confident."
Wang Qian: "I have always been confident! Otherwise, I wouldn't be preparing to debut so late."
Sun Jing nodded. She had learned about Wang Qian in detail and knew that Wang Qian was a graduate of a performing arts school and had an outstanding appearance. If he had made his debut right after graduation, he might have achieved something.
However, Wang Qian chose not to make his debut and to start his own business.
After nearly ten years of hard work, we now have two Haidilao restaurants in Shanghai.
Annual income is close to 100 million!
He is a successful person.
So, she said at the beginning that Wang Qian should not be short of money.
What is missing is the symbol of success in the entertainment industry.
That's the status.
She also gave Wang Qian enough respect and treated him with a humble attitude, which was completely different from other newcomers.
Sun Jing: "You want to wait until after the show before signing a big contract, right?"
Wang Qian smiled but said nothing, neither agreeing nor making any comment.
Sun Jing took out a business card with only her name and phone number from her bag and handed it to Wang Qian: "I really appreciate and like to work with confident people. Only with confidence can you go higher and further. If you stand very high by then, I am willing to fight for a bigger contract for you. I hope we can work together in the future."
Wang Qian put away the business card: "We'll talk about it later!"
Sun Jing nodded and said nothing more.
Given Wang Qian's age and her successful entrepreneurial experience, she knew that she couldn't say too much. The other party must have his own ideas and plans. She only needed to provide what the other party wanted.
When Wang Qian saw He Dongming waving at him, he immediately said goodbye to Sun Jing and walked towards He Dongming.
At this time, a young man with heavy makeup and fancy clothes walked in. He was quite tall, probably over 1.8 meters.
Wang Qian also recognized him at a glance. It was Huang Tao in the photo.
He is only nineteen years old and is a trainee trained by a large company.
Huang Tao came over and saw Chen Xiaowen, his eyes lit up, he ignored everyone else around him, walked directly onto the stage, and shouted to Chen Xiaowen: "Xiao Wen, you're here too. What a coincidence..."
Chen Xiaowen walked around the stage, then stood in the middle with a microphone to test the sound. She ignored Huang Tao who was talking to her and walked off the stage.
Huang Tao followed Chen Xiaowen and said with a flattering smile: "Your voice is so nice..."
Chen Xiaowen's face was still calm and natural, but she ignored Huang Tao, as if he didn't exist. She just glanced at Wang Qian curiously, and then said to Sun Jing: "Sister Sun, let's go!"
Sun Jing nodded, smiled apologetically to Huang Tao and his agent, and left with Chen Xiaowen.
Huang Tao stood there and shouted to Chen Xiaowen: "Xiao Wen, I'll treat you to lunch at noon..."
Chen Xiaowen has already left.
He didn't even look at Huang Tao during the whole process, let alone talk to him.
because.
She felt that Huang Tao had no right to talk to her.
It serves no other purpose except being an eyesore.
