I Am A Singer” is not as formal and utilitarian as “The Voice”, where everyone fights to the death for the sake of being famous. This programme is a group of singers who have long been famous to cut together, it is a kind of Huashan debate, ranked seniority.
Li Tiezhu is not very interested, not to mention, Zhang Xiaomeng at the end of the mail also showed the same point of view, it is not recommended to participate.
Zhang Xiaomeng is very direct, that is, this programme invites some really outstanding singers, Li Tiezhu is obviously a bit far, he is a gifted songwriter, on the singing is not great, on the show is a bit reluctant.
Moreover, as a kick-off guest, kick-off unsuccessful would be a bit of a shame, with Li Tiezhu’s current strength, it is likely to directly kick the iron plate.
Very pertinent opinion, Li Tiezhu directly accepted.
Not afraid of shame, Li Tiezhu shameless, but also has publicly said that his singing skills need to be strengthened, will continue to work hard.
He is not willing to go to the real reason, there are two points, one is that he is not very good at covering and adapting other people’s songs, and the second is that he does not think he has the qualifications to compete with Aunt Han Hong, this is a respect.
There is also a small reason, the script work of “Soldier Assault” is in full swing, he does not want to be distracted.
After reading the email, Li Tiezhu directly WeChat told Zhang Xiaomeng to reject the invitation of “I am the singer”.
After returning the message, the theatre theory class also ended, Li Tiezhu went back to the dormitory and took the earthy lunch box to the canteen to fight for food, and returned to the dormitory with Sun Hip Hip, collected the towel, and pounded the script while eating.
There was an unfamiliar number calling, Li Tiezhu hung up, then the number called again.
Li Tiezhu put down his chopsticks and picked up the phone: “Hello?”
The phone said, “Hello Li Tiezhu, I’m Liang Xiaobo who made an album for you, remember me?”
Li Tiezhu hurriedly signalled Sun Hip Hip to wait, Liang Xiaobo intervened in the late stage of his album, as a music director, gave a lot of advice, greatly improving the quality of the album, Li Tiezhu was very grateful to him.
“Ah! How are you, Mr Liang!”
“It’s like this, I recently worked with Hong Bo to organise ‘I am the Singer’ I’m the music director, and both Director Hong and I especially, especially hope that you can participate in this show. However, just now, I received a thank you email from your agent. This …… I still hope you can reconsider.”
“Teacher Liang, this is my decision, I don’t blame my agent. I don’t think I’m capable to the extent that I can compare myself to these famous singers, so I declined.”
“Tie Zhu, we are quite familiar with each other. You’re a good fit for this show, trust me!”
“But my singing skills, you also said it’s not too mature ……”
“But your voice is an absolute gift!”
“But …… I don’t dare, and I’m not willing to compete with Teacher Han Hong in the same arena, she’s my elder and one of my mentors. So, I’m really sorry!”
“That’s so! Well, I still think you should come, so think about it again.”
“Okay, thanks! Thank you for your approval.”
The other party hung up the phone before Li Tiezhu put it down and shrugged his shoulders.
How could Liang Xiaobo, such a strict musician, suddenly be perfunctory? What do you have to let me do? I’ve never sung anyone else’s songs, and I’m not afraid that I’ll smash his venue?
After dinner, Li Tiezhu and Sun Hip Hip continue to study the script, the third episode of Soldier Assault script is about to wrap up.
Sun Hip Hip went to the bathroom, came out and looked around for half a day, did not find half a towel, just casually wiped his hands on Wu Lei’s mosquito net, went back to continue to get the script, and Li Tiezhu and Li Tiezhu to discuss, while holding his sketchbook to draw the sub-scene sketches.
Drip drip drip ……
The mobile phone rang again, it was Han Hong.
Li Tiezhu hurriedly picked up, “Auntie?”
Han Hong said, “You’re not going to ‘I am the singer’? I think you can go ah. What variety show you are mixed, why this you do not go?”
Li Tiezhu said: “I don’t dare to share the stage with you.”
Han Hong: “Child! You this is overthinking, are singers, you should come to learn, here masters can be a lot.”
“I …… always feel that I am almost, I don’t want to disgrace you.”
“Hi! To me to lose what people? You’ve given me a long face! I watched The God of Medicine! Bullish! Without further ado, I hope you come to this show, and I, for one, will wait for you. You think about it.”
“Okay! Auntie you take care of your health.”
Hanging up the phone, Li Tiezhu was a bit confused, how come Auntie Han Hong also came to persuade me? Is this programme that good?
Continue to study the script.
A few minutes later, Li Tiezhu’s phone rang again, this time it was Hong Bo.
It’s endless.
This is the director who has witnessed Li Tiezhu all the way from a civil worker’s comeback to a popular fried chicken, and has given Li Tiezhu quite a lot of care, so he must not be bought off.
“Director Hong, why are you calling too?”
“It’s still the same thing! You are now red, album sales broke records, acting film box office also went all the way up, it’s normal to look down on me Hong Bo.”
“My God! Director Hong, please don’t mock me ……”
“Cheng Dalong accepted you as an apprentice, Star Chow booked you as a leading man early, tsk tsk …… there is nothing wrong with looking down on a broken director like me.”
“Please! You speak human words!”
“KAM! Are you kid floating? Tell me yourself if I took care of you enough in last year’s Good Voice?”
“Very much!”
Li Tiezhu started wiping his sweat, he and Hong Bo had an unusual relationship, far closer than the other contestants.
Other than that, let’s say that Yehenara and Wang Feng eliminated Li Tiezhu that time, Chen Yisen kicked the table and walked away, Hong Bo did not say anything throughout the whole process without stopping, in fact, already stood on Li Tiezhu’s side, not to mention, he also secretly resisted the pressure of the three major music giants, especially Luo FeiYan, directly escorted Li Tiezhu on the throne of the champion.
What Li Tiezhu doesn’t know is that Hong Bo’s departure from The Voice this year is actually inextricably linked to his confrontation with the three giants last year. Coupled with the extremely tepid response to this year’s Good Voice, the conflict deepened, and Hong Bo left.
On the phone, Hong Bo is still not satisfied, counting: “You ungrateful even if, but also sent your sister Liu Xiaohua to sanction me? Originally, the quality of this year’s contestants in general, plus her ‘The Voice shutterbugs’ a toss, but not closed?”
The Voice next year also run, but Hong Bo is no longer in, to him with the shutdown is no difference.
Li Tiezhu was powerless to retort: “This this ……”
Hong Bo said, “Now, I changed my career, this is my chance to turn the tide, you just say come or not to support a hand.”
Li Tiezhu uttered half a day, so he had to tell the truth: “Hong guide! You are my benefactor, I’ll be honest with you, your programme system is not suitable for me, except for the first song to sing my own, the other songs to sing other people’s, I’m really not good at it!”
“Aren’t they all songs?”
“Who listens to songs? I usually seldom listen to songs, except for a while of research before releasing an album, I usually don’t listen to songs.”
“You’re a f*cking singer who doesn’t listen to songs!”
“You do know me, I basically only sing songs I wrote myself.”
“Then I’ll let you participate with all originals, how about that?”
“Huh? This, Alexander ah!”
Hong Bo slapped his head and set a new rule for Li Tiezhu: “Mountain big hammer! You could write two or three or three or four songs in an issue last year, what is this show? Also! You haven’t released an album this year, right? It’s just right, come to my show, the money is also earned, by the way, the single is also issued, the programme catalogue directly after the album, and the Voice as well, how good?”
Li Tiezhu rolled his eyes when he heard this, “I don’t have any intelligence value lately! Write a fart, be eliminated okay, not eliminated, ten or so songs Laozi only thirty or so points of intelligence left, pigs are worse than.
“You …… think writing songs is farting ah? As soon as you pout your arse there?”
“Isn’t it? You can even fart in a chain! Write three or four songs in one breath.”
“Holy sh*t ……”
“I’ll take that as a yes!”
“No way! I really can’t!”
“Why not?”
“Director Hong! I just want to ask why! Why did you insist that I come? Mr Liang and Auntie Han Hong called me, why did you do that? Be direct.”
The other end of the phone suddenly went silent for a long time before saying, “Because Laozi signed a betting agreement! The same period ratings first, otherwise I lose. Understand? It’s not enough to have these famous singers, they don’t have the traffic, and the ones that do have the traffic, either their singing sucks or they don’t come, so in the end, you’re the only one left! It just so happens that ‘God of Medicine’ is a big hit, and you’re in the limelight.”
Li Tiezhu: “This is too direct, right?”
“What else? What’s the point of being polite with you! In a word, coming or not?”
“It’s like this, I’ve recently been writing a TV drama script, and it’s going to start shooting after the year ……”
[Ding ……]
Ma sell batch!
Li Tiezhu was speechless, again? I f*cking have the main task, also have the branch line task, you still ding a hair ah?
[Ding! Special mission, to participate in the “I am the singer” with an all-original song. One, as a kick-off singer, a successful challenge will be rewarded with 20 IQ points. Two, winning the championship in “I am the Singer” rewards 80 IQ points, the runner-up rewards 50 IQ points, and the third place rewards 30 IQ points.]
Crap! What a fragrance!
Hong Bo said, “Since you’re really busy, forget it ……”
Li Tiezhu said, “Don’t panic! I suddenly feel like I’m still going to come for a bit, for the sake of our friendship!”
“Scram! I don’t have friendship with you, why in the world did you suddenly figure it out?”
“It’s nothing, it’s just that I suddenly feel that you can’t do without me, you’re bald, and you’re still three times asking me to …… I’m a person who’s never been heavy-hearted, so I’d better give you a hand.”
“I believe you a ghost! No matter what you for, it’s a deal!”
“It’s a deal.”
“Next month, the third instalment to kick off.”
“Good!”
Hanging up the phone, Li Tiezhu put down the phone powerlessly, damn broken system.
Sun Hip Hop drew the subplot while saying, “Variety? What programme is so ruthless? It’s Liang Xiaobo and Han Hong to invite you, how big a name are you now?”
Li Tiezhu: “Music programme, a brand new variety show. There might be some delay in doing the script.”
Sun Hip Hop: “It’s okay, we’re pretty efficient here, we’ll get the script done soon, leave the subplot to me. However, you know the plot like the back of your hand, it’s too scary, a lot of old directors aren’t as good as you. I even suspect that you have this film in your head.”
Li Tiezhu laughed: “After writing the novel, I really have this film in my head, all kinds of details are there, just not written.”
Sun Hip raised his middle finger, “Awesome! I used to think you were stupid too, I didn’t expect you to be a dilettante.”
Just like this, Li Tiezhu settled on going to participate in “I am the Singer”, because it was the arrangement of the system father.
