After finishing "In the Name of the Father", Lu Chen also officially started the first phase of concert arrangements in full swing with his colleagues in the performance department at the company.
As the concert date approaches.
There is a lot of preparation to do! Choreography includes choreography, live art effects, costumes, crew arrangements, and more.
Because the second show was broadcast live on the entire network, and it was also a large-scale concert in a hall with 50,000 people.
The relevant supporting facilities and level of attention are naturally far superior to the first game.
Everyone knows the importance of the second concert for Tiancheng Entertainment.
This is a concert of a last-ditch effort!
But for Lu Chen, it’s actually just like that. Anyway, he sang to the fans at the scene with full firepower.
Adding a trivial live broadcast won’t have much impact.
And on the day Su Siyu left.
According to the plan, Tiancheng Entertainment launched the online event for the first batch of second-sale reservation tickets for Changsha Station.
In just one minute, all 10,000 reservation tickets were sold out.
According to statistics from the ticket sales website, nearly two million people were vying for those 10,000 tickets.
Unprecedented popularity!
Although relevant departments have tried their best to stop scalping behavior.
But it is obviously unrealistic to completely ban it.
On the same day, in the secondary market, the transfer price of tickets for Lu Chen’s second concert had reached 50,000 yuan per ticket.
In this regard, Tiancheng can only appeal to those who failed to grab tickets to try to choose online platforms.
Although fans have all kinds of emotions, everyone is still waiting for the official day of sale to grab the last 20,000 tickets.
However! The headline of the entertainment section that day was not about Lu Chen’s concert tickets.
It’s the variety show “Give Me the Microphone”.
Sometimes we have to admit the efficiency and speed of these Internet companies.
From the announcement of the program to its official launch.
There was only a short gap of three days between the two! The first episode of "Give Me the Microphone" will be officially aired on June 11, at 8:00 pm the next day! The three guests for the first episode were also officially announced in the three promotional posters that followed!
First place! The most anticipated and popular Hago!
Second place: The veteran and powerful singer of both traditional Chinese and pop music - Shen Mengqiu!
Third place: The new prince of love songs, and the idol superstar who was previously considered by the outside world to have the greatest chance of succeeding Lu Chen - Wang Surong.
These three are the well-deserved second-tier representative artists in the domestic entertainment industry.
Whether it is strength or popularity, there are unique and recognizable aspects.
In the first episode, we were able to invite these three second-tier big names at the same time.
To be honest, it still surprised many people.
It also further ignited the interest of many people in the program.
Because these three were the first batch of second-tier artists to emerge at that time.
The fact that the program team invited them also indirectly reflects that when they choose the singers to challenge the host, they will consider the development of the situation and the tastes of the audience to a large extent.
This is undoubtedly the more talked-about part.
At the same time, in order to enhance the participation of netizens.
"Give You the Microphone" adopts the mode of one star and two songs.
That is, one star sings two songs.
One of the songs was chosen by the singer.
The other song will be decided by netizens voting.
In order to avoid fans from being too disruptive.
The "Microphone" program team also thoughtfully framed the range of choices.
For example, HaGou focuses on rap.
So the voting playlist given to him by the program team is basically locked in Lu Chen's rap songs.
Shen Mengqiu prefers ancient style and love songs.
The voting playlist provided by the program team basically excludes rap.
The same goes for Wang Surong.
therefore.
As soon as the voting playlist channel is released.
It instantly attracted the enthusiastic participation of quite a number of netizens.
The number of participants was as high as 300,000! No surprise there.
This is the song that is voted for by Harry Potter!
——Digital Life! With a voting rate of 97%, it won a crushing victory.
As soon as the results are announced.
The comment section exploded with laughter!
Here it comes!
This song "Digital Life" almost made Harry Potter become autistic.
It is finally going to follow its old nemesis “partner” onto the national stage.
Shen Mengqiu's voting song is "Moonlight".
Originally, netizens chose "The Difficult Sutra".
However, due to limited time, Shen Mengqiu, who did not understand Cantonese, was unable to cover the song, so it was eventually changed to "Moonlight".
Netizens also understand this.
Anyway, the voting rates for "Moonlight" and "The Hard-to-Read Sutra" were close to 50-50.
It doesn't matter who you choose.
Wang Surong's voting song is "Stranded".
As the final results are announced.
The three singers who learned the news from the Internet have already felt the "full of malice" from netizens! However, netizens are already waiting and looking forward to it.
Especially Lu Chen’s fans.
They had covered Lu Chen’s songs before, to their death.
Now it’s finally the turn of these professional singers to cover it!
What kind of sparks will be created? Will it fail? Or will it succeed? ! Everything will be on tomorrow night at 8 o'clock, "The Microphone is for You"! It has to be said that looking at history, creating an exclusive variety show based on a certain star.
This operation is an explosion among explosions! It is unprecedented and unique! …
The next day, at 11:30 am.
A cultural center building in Wuhan, downstairs from the venue for "Microphone".
The dusty Hagou got out of the nanny car.
Zhao Feng, who was in charge of the signing, hurried over to greet him: "Teacher Hagou, you are finally here."
Hagou's face was downcast: "You are afraid that if I don't come, no one will make a fool of themselves, right?"
Zhao Feng laughed: "Look at what you said. You are an old OG in the domestic rap world. How could you make a fool of yourself?"
Ha Gou was too lazy to waste time talking to him. He was tricked by this guy last time.
He even doubted whether Zhao Feng was his "fake fan"! He really wanted him to take off his clothes and see if the tattoo was still there? !
"Teacher Hagou, please come this way. The other two teachers are waiting for you in the conference room!"
Under the leadership of Zhao Feng.
Ha Gou came to the meeting room.
Shen Mengqiu and Wang Surong have been chatting for a while.
"Hello, Mr. Hagou!"
"Hello, Mr. Shen, Mr. Wang."
After everyone finished exchanging greetings.
Zhao Feng sat opposite them and began to explain the rules of tonight's show:
"Teacher Hagou, Teacher Shen, Teacher Wang, your respective voting songs have been announced. So which song do you plan to choose for the other self-selected song? How about Teacher Hagou go first?"
For a moment, everyone's eyes were on Hagou.
Hagou twitched his lips and said, "Do we really have to sing 'Digital Life'? Can't we just sing two songs I like?"
Zhao Feng shook his head and smiled: "I'm sorry, this is the program rule, please bear with me, and this is also the result of netizens' voting, which means they are very much looking forward to your cover of this song, and your cover has the most heated discussion. I believe it will definitely set off a craze tonight!"
Ha Gou is so helpless.
But now that things had come to this, it was too late for him to run away.
"For the other song, I'd choose 'Dad, I'm Back'."
"Are you sure?"
"Sure."
This time, among the fourteen songs.
The song with the least difficulty is "Dad, I'm back".
Ha Gou has studied this a long time ago.
To be honest, he is not really good at singing and rapping.
It just so happens that this song has the lowest frequency of word breaks.
That’s not right. In fact, “Terrace Fields” is the lowest.
But there was a high note by Lu Chen in it, which he couldn't sing, so he had to give up.
Originally, "The Train is Going to Take a Seat" would also be fine.
But its popularity is not as high as "Dad, I'm Back".
Compare the two.
It’s better to choose the more popular song "Dad".
And Hagou has already tried it at home.
Basically, there is only one word: get it! So, I chose it.
"Okay, Mr. Hagou has been confirmed, what about Mr. Shen?"
Shen Mengqiu said simply: "Love Until Death!"
Um?!
As soon as these words came out.
Everyone's neck stiffened and their eyes widened in disbelief.
"Are you sure, Mr. Shen?"
"Sure! Either don't sing, or if you do, sing something fierce! Otherwise, people will think I can't sing!"
Shen Mengqiu decided to play big! Regardless of success or failure, the attitude must be correct!
Isn't it a cowardly act to choose the easy one? !
This made Ha Gou, who had always been strong-willed, look a little embarrassed.
And Wang Surong chose the smartest one: "I choose "The Wind Rises"!"
After Zhao Feng recorded the information, he nodded and said, "Okay, since the three teachers have already decided on the repertoire, I need to tell you again that this time, the program will tentatively sing the original version in its original accent and tune. No adaptation is supported for the time being. Is this okay with Mr. Hagou?"
Hagou: “…”
Are you still pointing this at me?
He made an OK gesture.
Zhao Feng stood up and said, "Well, teachers, there are still more than eight hours before the show starts. The recording studio has been prepared for you. The staff will take you to your respective practice rooms to practice singing later. At 7 pm, please go to the dressing room and prepare for the stage. Now you can rest for a while, I won't disturb you."
After Zhao Feng left.
In the conference room, only Hagou and three other people were left.
"Oh, that's so annoying!"
Hagou covered his head, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.
Shen Mengqiu and Wang Surong both looked at him with sympathy.
Let me talk about three voting songs.
The least difficult one is undoubtedly "Stranded".
Because the only major difficulty of this song is the transition from D2 to C5 in the second chorus, with the low and high tones switching instantly.
The second is "Moonlight".
Three words and fifteen turns have been turned into a meme by netizens.
But compared with "Digital Life".
These two songs are the younger brother! After all, this is the only song that is deadly to sing!!
There is a real KO record, it is there! In terms of difficulty, this song is recognized as the most difficult, looking at the domestic entertainment industry, no one else!
Looking at Hagou’s melancholy expression at this moment.
To be honest! Shen Mengqiu and the others suddenly felt more at ease...
