Shonan Satellite TV is the overlord of variety shows on domestic home TV screens. Its daily variety shows "Happy Big Family", "Celebrity Couples", "Daily Life Show" and other programs have high ratings and have been superior to peers for many years.
Since 2008, Shonan Satellite TV has successively launched popular talent contests such as "Super Girl Voice", "Super Boy Voice" and "National New Idol". Later, other David TVs competed to imitate, setting off a wave of national entertainment.
Although Lu Chen doesn't watch TV shows very much, he is still very familiar with the name of Shonan Satellite TV.
So after returning home, he immediately searched for Shonan Satellite TV and "The Strongest Singer-Composer" online.
The result was a surprising discovery.
"The Strongest Singer" is a singer-songwriter competition launched by Shonan Satellite TV last year. With its high professionalism and fierce competition, it won the season's variety show rating champion.
And Fan Meilin, who finally won the championship of "The Strongest Singer and Composer", is now a first-line star in China, one of the top female stars of Cheng Tian Entertainment, and she just released her first album not long ago!
Lu Chen learned about the selection rules and process of "The Strongest Singer" in detail, and watched several episodes of the first season's videos. He felt that this competition was really suitable for him, and it was undoubtedly a shortcut to fame.
With so many original masterpieces in his hands, he will definitely shine in "The Strongest Singer-Composer"!
Even if he can't win the championship, with the super high ratings of "The Strongest Singer", Lu Chen can still promote himself well, which will be of great help to his future development.
The audition for "The Strongest Singer" will start on June 20th, which is the day after tomorrow, and he doesn't need to travel all the way to Shonan to sign up for the competition, because there will be a competition in the capital!
If it wasn't for Jin Hongwei's reminder today, Lu Chen might really miss this opportunity.
But after the excitement, recalling the process of meeting this big man in the industry, Lu Chen always felt something was wrong.
too easy.
Jin Hongwei put forward a generous offer and took out a prepared contract. After being rejected by him on the spot, the other party didn't have any violent reaction other than being surprised, and he didn't even persuade him any more, and left the meeting amicably.
This kind of Jin Hongwei seems to be quite different from the godfather of entertainment brokers in Lu Chen's impression.
Of course, Lu Chen's impression of him came entirely from the Internet, so there must be problems, and he didn't know him at all before.
Lu Chen thought about it and felt a little uneasy, so he called Chen Jianhao.
Chen Jianhao was also an insider before he opened the bar, maybe he had dealt with Jin Hongwei and knew him better.
"Little Lu?"
Chen Jianhao's voice was a little tired, as if he had just woken up: "What do you want from me?"
Lu Chen talked about Jin Hongwei's signing with him today.
Chen Jianhao listened quietly, then sneered and said, "Xiao Lu, do you know what Jin Hongwei's nickname is in the circle?"
Lu Chen asked, "What nickname?"
"His nickname is Jin Wang Ba..."
Chen Jianhao said slowly: "The outer shell is very beautiful and attractive. If you want to touch him to get some light, you will be bitten by him. He will not let go until you bite a piece of flesh."
"Daqin and Sister Na's albums were produced in Tianlai Workshop, and you are the songwriter. Jin Hongwei's vision is still very good. Knowing that you are alone now, of course he wants to bite you in the mouth."
Lu Chen felt cold and speechless.
But he could hear that Chen Jianhao was extremely disgusted with this big man in the industry.
Chen Jianhao continued: "So you are very correct in not signing the contract. Jin Hongwei's advantage is not so easy to take advantage of. The better the conditions he offers now, the harder it will be squeezed in the future, and some of them will make you unable to escape. come out."
"I used to know a young man who was as talented as you, and he was signed by Jin Hongwei."
"Now do you know where this young man is?"
Without waiting for Lu Chen to ask, Chen Jianhao revealed the answer himself: "He is in a drug rehabilitation center, and his whole body has been disabled. Do you know how he got his drug addiction? This circle is too dark and deep, you can do it alone. of."
"Although it may be very hard and tiring, at least you have the freedom to choose!"
Lu Chen nodded and said, "I understand, boss, thank you for your reminder."
Fortunately, he called Chen Jianhao, otherwise, he really didn't know about Jin Hongwei's scandal, and thought he was very nice.
This kind of person should be kept at a respectful distance is the best choice.
Chen Jianhao seemed to be fully awake, and asked again: "Are you planning to participate in the strongest singer-songwriter?"
Lu Chen wondered, "Boss, how do you know?"
"Stop yelling, boss, boss, it's annoying to hear..."
Chen Jianhao said dissatisfiedly: "You are not a little waiter in Wangyoucao now, just call me brother."
Lu Chen smiled and said, "Brother Jianhao..."
Chen Jianhao was satisfied, and then explained: "You are very suitable to participate in the competition for the strongest singer-songwriter, but you should know that it doesn't mean that you have talent and ability to stand out in this kind of popular show."
"Fan Meilin, the previous champion, signed with Cheng Tian Entertainment before the competition, so they will be highly praised. Do you understand?"
Lu Chen smiled wryly, "I understand."
His biggest problem is that he can fight alone, he can't compare to other people's background. There are rules in the entertainment circle, whether it's unspoken rules or explicit rules, if you want to get as much as you want, you have to give as much as you want, or even more!
Cheng Tian Entertainment is a partner of Shonan Satellite TV and participated in the production of "The Strongest Singer".
Therefore, this entertainment company has a great say in "The Strongest Singer".
"Jin Hongwei has a lot of contacts in Shonan Satellite TV. Juxing Company and Cheng Tian Entertainment have a long-term business relationship. It is said that the two parties hold each other's shares. You rejected Jin Hongwei, and you still want to participate in the strongest singer-songwriter?"
Lu Chen really understood: "Then I won't go."
The society is too scary. For the time being, he will honestly engage in live broadcasts to make money. If he earns enough, he will release an album!
"No no no!"
What Lu Chen didn't expect was that Chen Jianhao said: "I support you to sign up for the audition, and bring your best work there. It doesn't matter if you don't pass. The 25th is the registration for the audition for Beijing Satellite TV's Sing China Audition."
"I'll help you get a recommendation letter so that you can directly participate in the live audition!"
Whether it's "The Strongest Singer" or other talent shows, the audition process is divided into two parts. The first is the public primary selection, which is the first screening of applicants to eliminate those who are completely unreliable.
Basically, more than 90% of the contestants will be filtered out in the first level, and then the live audition will be performed.
However, sometimes in order to achieve the effect of the program, the organizer will deliberately omit some wonderful contestants to enter the live audition, entertaining hundreds of millions of TV viewers and at the same time hype it up.
If you want to attract attention, don't care too much about integrity.
"Beijing Satellite TV is not as good as Shonan Satellite TV, but it's not that complicated, and it's suitable for you to participate."
Chen Jianhao finally said: "I would like to see you eliminated by the strongest singer-songwriter, it must be very interesting."
He laughed "hahaha".
Lu Chen asked, "Brother Jianhao, do you have a grudge against Jin Hongwei?"
Chen Jianhao's laughter stopped abruptly.
After a long time, he said: "The young man I told you just now also called me the boss. I have always regretted not being able to prevent him from signing with Juxing Company. Fortunately, I can persuade you now. .”
Lu Chen was silent.
After finishing the call with Chen Jianhao, Lu Chen thought for a moment. He opened the registration address of "The Strongest Singer and Composer" he found online, and filled out the registration form according to the prompts on the webpage.
"The Strongest Singer" supports online registration, and after completion, you can directly participate in the preliminary audition.
Just on June 20th!
…
After Lu Chen filled out the registration form and confirmed sending it, another two minutes passed.
In a luxury box on the upper floor of the Jinbihuihuang bar in Sanlitun, Beijing, Jin Hongwei, who was lying on the sofa and drinking red wine, suddenly changed his expression, as if he woke up from deep thinking.
He put down his wine glass and took out his mobile phone from his pocket.
Opening the text message I just received and reading it, the big man in the industry showed a smug smile.
Like a hunter who sees his prey fall into a trap.
