Chapter 109
He had many ways to deal with Bai Qinghe, and Li Chu had no psychological burden. He was brave, but he didn't say anything to him on the spot, just sincerely praised him a few times, saying that the song was very nice and he could learn more from the company's teachers.
Bai Qinghe: "Are you serious?"
After getting affirmation again, he was in high spirits, like a happy puppy who was pleased after being praised, his eyes were shining as he looked at him, and he could only nod.
Then Li Chu turned around and discussed the matter with the company's artist management department. Director Yao was an acquaintance of his. After hearing Li Chu's idea, he hesitated and asked, "Is this really okay?"
She felt it was a bit risky.
"What's wrong with that?" Li Chu said, "This is a variety show, it's a recording, not a live broadcast. If there are any accidents, we can edit them out. Besides, what kind of accidents can happen when singing?"
He did this for the company, and of course for himself. Not to mention for the future group, Li Chu was the first one to sign and become famous. He now has shares in the company, although not much, but he is indeed a legitimate small shareholder, and there will be dividends at the end of the year.
Therefore, it was only natural for him to do something more at this time. Besides, Bai Qinghe had the courage to stay because of seeing him. Li Chu felt that he should take some responsibility for this, so he should just send the Buddha to the west.
Director Yao was unable to change his mind. He thought for a moment and then said, "Then we have to talk to President Su about it."
"Okay, I'll go talk to him myself," Li Chu said, "I'm just about to go see Mr. Su now."
Li Chu was very familiar with the president's office. After he took a look around and talked to Su Ning, the matter was quickly finalized. It was obvious that Su Ning had the same idea as him.
Bai Qinghe had to go anyway, no matter how early or late it was.
There is a performance stage in this variety show, and there is no need to follow any variety show procedures. The singers just need to go up and sing, so it was much easier for Li Chu to trick him into going up.
On the day of recording, when Bai Qinghe was brought there by Li Chu, he didn't know that this was already recording. Li Chu only told him that this was a rehearsal before the recording of the program, so it was normal for so many staff members to move around.
According to Li Chu, he just brought him here to familiarize himself with the place, hoping that he would not be so nervous. It was not good to stay in the company all the time. Moreover, after Bai Qinghe became a trainee, he stayed in the company and had not come out and had not seen the outside world.
The feeling here is still very novel, but Bai Qinghe is still very nervous. He just follows Li Chu step by step, and then quietly looks at the surrounding scene.
I have to say, this place is really nice.
Li Chu took him to say hello to Zhou Heng and the members of the Blue Hat Band. Bai Qinghe was very excited to meet so many seniors, but the only way he could show it was by bowing to them.
He didn't know that at this time, the audience had already entered the venue one after another. After everyone was seated, the lights in the auditorium dimmed. This was not a concert, and no glow sticks were distributed. The auditorium was connected to the stage with special choreography, and looking down from the stage, it was a dreamy starry sky.
Because the light on the stage is too strong and it is too dark below, and there are light strips and light effects blocking the view, at first glance you can't see the audience below the stage. It's a very clever cover-up.
At this time, Li Chu began to suggest Bai Qinghe to go up and give it a try, and his reasons sounded reasonable.
"I've told Mr. Su and the others that you must be on this variety show," Li Chu said. "It's in the preparation stage now, and it just so happens that you're here. You can give it a try. There's still time. When the show is launched, there will be rehearsals, but with so many singers, you may not have that much time."
"Fortunately, there are no audiences today. Lan Maozi and Zhou Heng are all here. They are all acquaintances. You can go up and sing, and I can ask them for some suggestions. You may not have such a good opportunity in the future."
Bai Qinghe had not expected this to happen before he came. Li Chu had not mentioned it to him on purpose, in order to test his bottom line little by little. Li Chu knew that Bai Qinghe also liked the Blue Hat Band, and there was no singer who didn't like them.
He felt that Bai Qinghe was easily encouraged by his idol, so he did this on purpose to gradually lay the groundwork.
Bai Qinghe was a little moved when he heard this. He listened to Li Chu's words and was easily led by him. He looked around and saw that many of the staff here were from Guangying Entertainment and Shen's Film. He often saw them when he was a trainee, and they were already considered acquaintances. He was not so nervous in front of acquaintances.
It seemed like there was nothing big about going up there and singing like this, he had sung it many times in the company. Then Bai Qinghe followed Li Chu from the backstage to look at the stage. The lights were on, and the stage and equipment looked great.
As Shen Mingzheng said, this is the dream stage for all singers. Such great equipment and accompaniment band will make your heart beat faster when you see it.
"If you're still nervous, I'll help you," Li Chu said, "I'll think of a way to make you look better."
Zhou Chunqing has now been promoted rapidly in the company. He is the artistic director of Guangying Entertainment. He is now well-known in the circle and manages many people. Naturally, he has been greeted by Li Chu.
When leaving the company today, the stylist had already changed Bai Qinghe's clothes and put on simple makeup. After doing his hair and simple makeup, she found something similar to a lace headband and tied it in front of his eyes.
This makes it hard to see clearly.
Bai Qinghe didn't know that this style was not just random, but matched his overall look. This lace strip was also carefully selected, and even matched his song.
The song he wrote before was called "Talking to Myself". After listening to it, the teacher from Guangying Entertainment made some changes to it. First, he changed the lyrics a little bit, and then changed the name of the song to "Look at Me".
With such a headband on, he did not completely lose his vision, but his vision became blurry. Then he put on ear monitors, and when he went on stage, even if he might be exposed, Bai Qinghe would not be able to detect it.
Since he couldn't see the audience, he wasn't so nervous.
Later, Li Chu encouraged him, saying that he sang really well and that the opportunity was rare. He could ask the program crew to record it and send it to him to watch back. It was no big deal to go on stage.
Bai Qinghe listened to him talking while putting on makeup, unable to utter a word in rebuttal. She was led by him like this, and subconsciously did not think much about it, and just went on stage.
At this time, the audience had been waiting for a while after taking their seats. There was a band playing in the middle, like a sound test, and the effect on the scene was really good. They were just waiting for the program to start recording. After a while, a staff member came over and signaled everyone to be quiet.
Then the whole place went dark, and the lights came on again when the singer came on stage.
There was an unfamiliar singer on the stage. When the singers were seated, the staff came over and told them not to cheer, as he wasn't a celebrity, so there were no cheers. Even if there were one or two words scattered around, Bai Qinghe, who was wearing an earphone monitor, couldn't hear them.
After he went on stage, he only paid attention to the stage. He found that this place was very formal, with all the necessary equipment, and it didn't look like a casual try. He was a little nervous, but Li Chu said that he would be watching from the backstage, so he couldn't retreat.
The stage design here is really amazing. There is a big tree on the stage with fluorescent paper and lights mixed together, like a dreamy star tree. When the lights are on, there are even star-like lights under the feet.
He seemed to be the only one here.
Seeing that he was ready, the live director gave a gesture and the live band's prelude began to sound.
This was a familiar melody. The song he wrote was played so grandly, which seemed to give Bai Qinghe some confidence. This was not the bar he had been to before. No one pointed fingers at him.
This is a new world with only music, so Bai Qinghe sang the first sentence very steadily at this time.
No one laughed at him in the audience. His clear boyish voice was better displayed after the training. This kind of voice was rarely heard in the circle, so everyone held their breath.
With the support of the live band, Bai Qinghe sang and seemed to enter a state of ecstasy. In the middle of the song, light shone through the lace headband in front of his eyes and fell on his face. Bai Qinghe could not help but raise his hand to touch the light.
Although he gained a little weight in the past six months at the company, he is still very thin overall. Even in the entertainment industry, he can be considered very slender. Because he doesn't like to go out, his skin is very white. Under such lighting and makeup, his skin is so white that it seems to be glowing.
Bai Qinghe's look is not complicated, even very simple. At this moment, his laces are slightly fluttering, and he is singing a very gentle song under the tree, making him look like an elf that is not from the human world.
Li Chu really did as he promised and watched from the backstage until Su Ning patted him on the shoulder.
"You're here!" Li Chu turned to look at him, smiled, and pointed at the stage, "He sang well, didn't he?"
Su Ning nodded and said, "Okay, you are the one with the most clever ideas."
Li Chu was pleased: "Of course."
Su Ning had previously invited a psychologist for this matter, and Bai Qinghe's condition had improved, but he was not at a pathological level. He just had a knot in his heart, and he still needed an opportunity to truly open up his heart.
At this time on the stage, Bai Qinghe had already finished singing.
He gradually came out of his immersed state, feeling as if he had entered a new realm. His emotions were not completely calmed down for a while. He took off his earphones and heard applause.
...Wait, applause?
The applause came from the audience, becoming more and more enthusiastic, like thunder. When Bai Qinghe first heard it, he froze for a while. He seemed unable to react and subconsciously wanted to push back, but the cheers and applause from the audience did not make him want to escape.
This applause showed that they liked him and there was no malice in it.
The audience liked his songs.
Bai Qinghe was not stupid, he understood it almost immediately, and slowly took off his lace headband. Under the lights, he could see many unfamiliar faces in the audience. Then he bowed deeply to the audience, deeply thanking everyone for their love.
His debut was a great success.
Of course, after stepping down, Li Chu told him everything. Bai Qinghe naturally would not be angry, he was grateful for it.
He didn't dare to perform on stage, which was obviously his own problem, but Li Chu and all the cooperating staff took so much care of him, which moved him so much that he almost cried.
He will never disappoint Li Chu's expectations in the future!
Just as Li Chu said, if you want to go, go to the first episode. Variety shows are broadcasted at a relatively fast frequency. When the first episode of the music variety show was broadcast, he received huge attention with that stage, which brought a big bonus to himself and the program.
Guangying Entertainment also released the song "Look at Me", which ranked at the top of the new song chart as soon as it was released, and Bai Qinghe's name gradually became known to the audience.
After he became famous, the band was still a bit persistent and tried to post some ambiguous things on the Internet to discredit him. But the bar owner Yuan was not a pushover either. There was no need for Su Ning to do anything. He just made everything clear.
He also had a lot of evidence about how the band had sucked Bai Qinghe's blood and bullied others. Of course, he also took the opportunity to post the address of his own store. After all, he would be a waste if he didn't take advantage of the popularity.
This unexpected public opinion storm actually made Bai Qinghe's reputation even better, as if it was giving him a head. Moreover, everyone found out that he was actually discovered by Li Chu, and even many things on the stage that day were designed by Li Chu.
Li Chu is currently a top-level idol, but he does not bully the weak, nor does he suppress newcomers. Just like when he participated in the new season of Idol Star Chart, he tried his best to help everyone.
He learned this from Su Ning, and was influenced by him through observation and osmosis.
The more prosperous the industry is, the bigger the pie will be, and he will benefit more from it, so he should take a long-term view.
After the music variety show was broadcast, Shen Mingzheng naturally knew about this matter. He was a little surprised at Li Chu's behavior at first, but after thinking about it carefully, he felt it was normal.
Li Chu is no longer the gloomy person he used to be. He now looks really sunny and lively. He has good relationships with people and is willing to help others. So this behavior seems normal to everyone.
The world is no longer the same. Everyone has gradually changed and is no longer the same as he remembers.
If we want to trace these changes back to their source, we will find that they naturally occurred gradually after Su Ning came.
At first it was a few idols, then a few actors, and then a few successful projects... So now, more and more people are different. It is not just Su Ning who is doing and changing these things, more people are following him.
