Chapter 524: Singer Competition
Hearing Xiao Ke'er praising him like that, Jiang Chengfeng couldn't help but smile.
However, Liu Lan noticed some comments from fans in the comment section, where they were all discussing who the "so-called male singer" that Xiao Keer was referring to was.
She also felt that Xiao Ke'er's tone was a bit sarcastic when she said this.
The omnipotent fans quickly gossiped out various possibilities, and they believed it was related to "The King of Singers".
Xiao Keer is currently participating in the "King of Singers" competition, which is a super popular music competition program. It has been held for four seasons, one season a year, and the ratings of each season are at the top of all music variety shows. Xiao Keer is participating in the fifth season, which will officially start broadcasting in early November.
Every season, the program team will invite 7 singers who are already famous, or very well-known but a little out of date to participate in the competition, but they have never invited internet singers.
Xiao Keer is the first one.
Xiao Ke'er was originally an internet celebrity like Liu Lan. No matter how popular her previous songs were among netizens, they could not change her "origin" label.
But since she met Liu Lan in the music bar, her fate seemed to have taken a turn. Not only did her popularity on the Internet increase, she also met Xue Yunfei and Ye Zian and sang the ending song for the movie.

...
In September this year, shortly after the release of "The Sound of Wind", Xiao Ke'er suddenly announced the termination of her contract with her previous small record company and switched to Capital Xinchen Records, a company invested by Xue Yunfei. For this, she paid a penalty of nearly one million yuan.
But she thinks the one million is worth it, because with Xue Yunfei, her star path is getting wider and wider. Xue Yunfei helped her produce her first album "Flying Bird" since her debut. "Flying Bird" includes a total of 8 songs, all written and composed by Xiao Ke'er herself, and 4 of them are arranged by Xue Yunfei. Among them, the title song of the same name "Flying Bird" is contrary to Xiao Ke'er's previous ancient folk style. The accompaniment instruments are mainly Western music. Because this song was arranged by Xue Yunfei, he added a lot of American folk elements, and the whole style is warm and light.
This album was released more than a month ago, and has sold 200,000 copies so far. 200,000 is not a lot, but given the extremely depressed record industry today, for an internet celebrity's album to sell this number is really an impressive achievement.
It was because of the huge sales of "Flying Bird" that the director of "The King of Singers" noticed Xiao Ke'er. It happened that Xue Yunfei's partner Huo Ming had a friendship with the director of "The King of Singers", so he helped to make the connection, and Xiao Ke'er became one of the contestants of this season.
Being able to perform on the stage of "The King of Singers" is tantamount to proving that Xiao Keer's efforts and hard work over the years have not been in vain, and also proves that her transformation has been successful.
Xiao Keer finally got rid of the title of an internet celebrity singer and became no different from a real singer. She cherished this opportunity and made various preparations for the show a month in advance, writing songs, selecting songs, practicing singing... She even turned down some lucrative commercial performances.
The fifth season of "King of Singers" is recorded and broadcasted once a week, and it is broadcasted during prime time on Saturday nights. So far, two shows have been broadcasted. The disparity in status and age between the participating singers has led to a very strict competition system and fierce competition. The outdated singers with first-line status are unwilling to be suppressed by the rising stars who are not as famous as themselves, while the rising stars want to use this show to expand their own fame, and neither of them will give in to the other.
The first five games of the show are regular seasons. In each game, the seven singers have to sing two songs, one of their own representative works and one cover of other singers' songs.
In the past four seasons of "The King of Singers", the judges of the competition were divided into two groups: one group was composed of 500 audience members on site, and the other group was composed of three consultant teachers. The ratio of the two was 9 to 1, which means that the scores given by the review group are not very important, and the audience's preferences are the most important. This also eliminates the possibility of shady dealings and behind-the-scenes manipulation, unless the singer can buy off all the audience members on site, but the difficulty lies in the fact that the audiences are different in each show.
The last singer in each game will be eliminated, and new singers will be replaced in the next game to ensure that there are 7 singers competing in each game.
