Chapter 85 Attention Explosion
After Gu Qingge posted this Weibo post, she naturally saw the scene she wanted to see in the comment section below -
"What a mysterious confidence! Just by casually researching dance music, he can write something that will be accepted by the program team?"
"Too arrogant, just waiting to be rejected by the 'Produce 101' production team."
"Do you really want to be a mentor on a variety show? Why bother? It's too much of a threat!" (Gu Qingge was secretly delighted when she saw this comment: This is what I want, Cultivation Jade+++)
"Haha, I've seen through everything. Gu Qingge just accepted money from the production team and cooperated with the hype."
"It really does seem like they're trying to hype each other up. Gu Qingge isn't one of those established, popular artists. Newcomers like her need this kind of outrageous behavior to attract attention and maintain popularity."
"Gu Qingge has always been famous for her songs but not for herself because she has never appeared in a TV series or a variety show. She is more like a behind-the-scenes producer than an entertainer. This time, it seems that she wants to step out from behind the scenes and step onto the stage."
…
As many people have said, even though Gu Qingge has released many popular singles and has become a "golden" level musician on Yinyueyun, she can't really be considered to have officially debuted.
Nowadays, if a singer wants to become famous in the entertainment industry, it is not enough to just release songs, he or she must also participate in more music variety shows.
But Gu Qingge did not follow the usual path. Other new singers who participated in variety shows naturally started as students, but she directly aimed at the role of mentor.
No wonder this is a "challenge task". There has indeed been no new singer who dared to do something as bold as Gu Qingge before.
However, Gu Qingge's identity is almost equivalent to that of a "first-line musician". She has also worked with the "national team" singer Chen Yirong. This qualification has won her recognition from many first-line singers.
Now Gu Qingge is a typical example of someone who is highly regarded by insiders in the pop music scene. However, many outsiders only focus on her age and qualifications and think that she is not qualified to be a mentor in any program.
At this time, the program planning team of "Creation 101" was in a meeting.
The purpose of the meeting was only one, which was whether the program team should accept the theme song of the same name sent by Gu Qingge, and as promised before, invite her to be the singing and songwriting mentor of "Creation 101".
Chief Planner and Director Liu Mingzhao began by saying, "I really didn't expect that after all this time of trying to provoke her, this talented woman like Gu Qingge actually turned the tables. She seems genuinely interested in our show! Now what should we do? Everyone, share your thoughts."
A member of the planning team named "Lu Hua," a veteran in girl group creation who had even traveled to South Korea to learn from her experience, said, "Compared to the mentors, Gu Qingge's appearance makes her perfectly suited to being an idol. How about we invite her to be a contestant?"
As soon as Lu Hua said this, another member of the planning team named "Zhao Zhuo", who was also the music director, couldn't help but refute: "Don't even think about it. Gu Qingge is a top student at Huayi, a singer-songwriter, and a first-line musician. You must be crazy to label her an idol. Her status is there."
"I agree with Zhao Zhuo. If Gu Qingge wants to participate in our program, she must be given the role of mentor. She is also qualified for such a role."
"The theme song of Produce 101 is really great. It fits our show perfectly. Regardless of whether she is invited to be a mentor in the end, this dance song is not to be missed!"
"I think we can ask her to be a mentor. Besides her, there's also a dance mentor, Bo Yiwang, who's only in his early twenties. If he can be a dance mentor, why can't Gu Qingge be a singing and songwriting mentor?"
"Bo Yiwang is a top star and debuted as a member of a legitimate boy band."
"Tsk, Gu Qingge's traffic is not bad either. Moreover, she wrote the song "Produce 101" by just casually researching dance music. Maybe after participating in our show, she will be inspired and write another dance song that will go viral."
"We already have a girl group founder, two vocal instructors, two dance instructors, and a songwriter. Why can't we add one more? Then each of the two songwriter groups will have an instructor. This will also reduce the pressure on songwriter Yan Bin. Although Teacher Yan Bin is truly talented, you all know that the amateur level of our Chinese female idols is really hard to describe..."
"What did Mr. Yan Bin say? Would he accept Gu Qingge becoming a singing and songwriting mentor like him?"
"You may not believe this, but Teacher Yan Bin said it's completely acceptable. He's very interested in the Chinese-style songs that Gu Qingge pioneered. He also wants to try out Chinese-style music and even create a Chinese-style girl group."
"Even a musical genius and arrangement master like Teacher Yan Bin admires Gu Qingge so much?"
"Of course. You don't really think that Gu Qingge's original songs are so popular because of her looks, do you?"
…
After thoroughly listening to the opinions of many members of the planning team, Liu Mingzhao finally made a decisive decision: "It's decided then. Please invite Gu Qingge to our show as a singer-songwriter mentor! After signing the contract, let her prepare her opening performance as a mentor in advance."
Music Director Zhao Zhuo couldn't help but anticipate, saying, "Teacher Yan Bin will open the show with a song called 'Give Me Everything I Want.' I wonder what the talented Gu will perform?"
"It should also be a piano singing. I have a friend in the film and television industry, and I know she has a classic song called "Meeting", which was chosen as the theme song for a movie. This song is very nice and will definitely be a hit!"
"I suddenly realized that Gu Qingge's songs aren't the kind that can blow up the audience. If she chooses to sing and play, will she be outdone by Teacher Yan Bin?"
"Gu Qingge is the kind of person who can surprise people. Don't underestimate her performance."
…
After Liu Mingzhao, the chief planner of "Produce 101", made the decision, the investors and producers had no objections. It was just a matter of adding a singing and songwriting mentor on the basis of the original mentors, and the kind that could cause controversy. Wouldn't this attract more attention?
Therefore, the program team quickly and smoothly signed a contract with Gu Qingge, and the announcement fee they gave was of course very sincere and was based on the standards of first-line musicians.
After the signing was completed, "Produce 101" couldn't wait to release the news!
That is, the variety show adopted Gu Qingge's original dance music "Creation 101" as its theme song, which is also the first dance song that the 101 female trainees who passed the audition have to learn, sing and dance.
Gu Qingge also became the singing and songwriting mentor of this variety show!
At the same time, "Produce 101" also announced that the show will start recording soon!
The show's bold move of inviting the youngest mentor in history has directly caused it to explode in attention!
After all, this young mentor is really younger than those female trainees...
In the face of such an explosion of public opinion, Gu Qingge did not respond to anything, but instead rehearsed a very explosive rock song with the "Queen" band.
Its name is - "Mountains and Seas".
