Chapter 164 Favor

ps. Thanks to the book friend Deng Shen for the book coins!

Backstage at the "Creating Girls' Generation" program, makeup artists were retouching the makeup of a group of instructors. Staff members were coming and going in a hurry, and everyone was making final preparations for the upcoming recording stage.

Today, Luo Quan put a thick layer of foundation on his face. It’s not that the makeup artist thinks Luo Quan’s skin is bad, it’s just that there are dozens of high-light lights on the stage. If you don’t put on foundation, your face will be in the camera. The facial features will be blurred, which has nothing to do with whether the skin is good or not.

The makeup artist said the same thing to Luo Quan before performing at a charity concert.

In the past, she was quite disgusted with celebrities who applied thick layers of powder on their faces, and their faces were all that sickly white.

Now I know that this may not be their original intention. After all, so many cosmetics applied to the face will cause some damage to the skin.

But there is no other way. Celebrities need to be glamorous on stage. If you look at your yellow skin and dark circles under your eyes, the audience will criticize you for being unprofessional.

After the makeup was put on, adjustments were still being made on the stage, and several instructors started chatting backstage.

Wen Xia was dealing with "old senior" Ella. The two were talking about the development trend of Chinese girl groups in recent years. Zhao Yining and Jin Zihao were discussing how to sing with a red face or a bad face on the stage. Only Luo Quan was alone. While she was playing with her cell phone, no one came to talk to her until Zhou Yangwen arrived.

This program is a large project jointly produced by Penguin Video, Penguin Music, and Penguin Film and Television, and these departments are under the management of Penguin Interactive Entertainment. As the general manager of Penguin Interactive Entertainment, he must be there to inspect the show when it starts.

For this show, these departments have been preparing for it since the beginning of the year, determined to make it the most popular variety show this year or even in recent years. Not only Penguin Interactive Entertainment, but also the head office also attaches great importance to it. , providing considerable resources and convenience in all aspects.

Seeing the boss arrive, the employees in the background stopped no matter how busy they were and shouted "Hello, Mr. Zhou."

Zhou Yangwen had a smile on his chubby face: "You all go and do your own business, I'm just here to take a look, don't worry about me."

Several instructors also stood up and called Mr. Zhou with a smile.

Zhou Yangwen nodded: "This time the program will be left to you. If you have any good suggestions, please feel free to mention them. All employees will try their best to cooperate."

Zhao Yining smiled: "Mr. Zhou, you're welcome. We must be careful when doing programs. With so many viewers watching, you will be scolded and trending tomorrow if you dare to paddle."

After saying this, everyone laughed.

After laughing, Zhou Yangwen looked at Luo Quan: "I wonder, Luo Quan, how is your song... written?"

"I gave Wen Xia three songs a long time ago. Those three songs are of very high quality and can be used as the main hits. The remaining seven songs have not been written yet, but it is still early."

Zhou Yangwen was relieved when he heard Luo Quan say that he already had three songs of very high quality.

If it were when he first met Luo Quan, he might still have doubts about Wen Xia's words, but now... Who in the industry doesn't know Luo Quan's talent?

Let’s not talk about Japanese songs and English songs first. I will only talk about the Chinese album “18”. Zhou Yangwen asked several of his music producers.

These music producers are all behind-the-scenes production masters of Penguin Interactive Entertainment. They have cooperated with many first-line and even top singers in China, and their evaluation of this album is surprisingly consistent:

This is an album with a high degree of completion, extremely rich content, extremely mature production techniques, and extremely excellent singing skills!

Especially for the song "In the Name of the Father", the lyrics, music and arrangement have reached the pinnacle level of Chinese pop music. There are so many music producers in China today, but only two people can produce works of the same level.

It’s hard to imagine that a girl under twenty years old completed this in just half a month. During this period, she also produced nine additional songs, from lyrics, music and arrangement to recording, mixing and editing. The sound was all done by her alone!

To be honest, even a top professional music studio in China may not be able to complete it in such a short time. It can only be said that the achievements of genius really transcend the boundaries of mortal thinking.

And Luo Quan, who has received such high praise, is naturally a priceless treasure in Mr. Zhou's opinion.

However, he had no illusions about signing a contract with her. Neither Sony nor Universal, the world's top record companies, could sign her. Zhou Yangwen felt that apart from sharing the same nationality as Luo Quan, he had no advantages over these two companies, so he didn't I plan to bother Luo Quan by mentioning this matter again.

What I need to do now is to form a good relationship with her and gain her favor. If I ask her to help write a song in the future, it will be much easier for me than others.

Just like this time, in order to help his friend Wen Xia, Luo Quan volunteered to help "Girls' Generation", which had not really formed a group, produce an album without even discussing the price.

Many singers in the industry know this, and I don’t know how many people are jealous that Wen Xia has such a talented sister.

Zhou Yangwen nodded with satisfaction: "With your talent, there is really no need to rush, so I will wait for your good news."

Zhou Yangwen had just finished discussing with Luo Quan, and Jin Zihao seemed hesitant to speak.

Luo Quan caught a glimpse of this scene out of the corner of his eye, and naturally he couldn't pretend he didn't see it: "If you have anything to say, just tell me, we are all colleagues."

Zhao Yining also smiled and said: "That's right, Zi Hao, you are a big man, how can you be so coquettish as a girl?"

"You're just being coy!" Jin Zihao glared at Zhao Yining and said to Luo Quan: "Actually, I have something I want to ask you for help with. I'm going to release an album soon, but I don't have a song that can calm it down. The main song that lives in the audience, so I want to see you..."

Jin Zihao didn't finish his words, but everyone understood what he meant.

Luo Quan said straightforwardly: "You want to buy a song from me, right?"

Jin Zihao nodded: "That's what I mean, the price is negotiable."

Luo Quan chuckled: "Just make a friend and give you a song."

It doesn't bother her that she's selling her father's land anyway, but she can sell a favor to Jin Zihao with just one thousand heat points. It's a good deal.

"Thank you so much. If you need any help from me in the future, just ask!" Jin Zihao was also very open-minded and directly made such a big promise to Luo Quan.

In this case, he would definitely not use money to make transactions with Luo Quan again.

Luo Quan agreed so readily, obviously because he wanted to make him a friend. If he said anything about market price at this time, it would be too disrespectful to Luo Quan, so Jin Zihao paid with favors.

After the deal was concluded, everyone's faces were still cheerful. Zhao Yining mainly focused on the variety show industry, so he wouldn't be jealous.

And Luo Quan also left a good impression in everyone's eyes by agreeing to Jin Zihao's request so boldly.

Of course, these impressions are of no use in the short term, but later, if she encounters any trouble, these will be her help.

After a short interlude, the stage was finally adjusted, and the lighting, sound, microphones, radio equipment, and lenses were all ready.

In fact, since the students arrived at Xiaoshan International Film and Television Center in the morning, the cameramen have already started filming them.

This part can be regarded as recording their most real side outside the stage, but whether it is true or not is unknown.

Students all know that once you come here, countless cameras will be looking at you all the time, and every word and every move you make will be recorded. As for whether the editor will add those short two In the hour-long video, it all depends on God’s will.

But no one will act wantonly because of the low probability. Proper expression management and politeness and humility are a must, and many more experienced girls have already started "performing" from this moment on, that is, Wen Xia It is often said that establishing a character.

The so-called personality creation means that celebrities use words and deeds to create a personality for their image through reality shows, Weibo, online variety shows and other ways that can be seen by netizens.

For example, the character of a foodie, a crazy person, or an upright character.

These characters can also be understood as a kind of trait. Celebrities deliberately display this trait to make passers-by who have the same trait or have a favorable impression of this trait like the star.

This is one of the most effective ways for celebrities to attract fans nowadays, and it costs almost nothing. All you need to do is talk more and post more on Weibo.

However, one thing that needs to be noted is that once a person is established, he must maintain this kind of persona and cannot relax at all, because once the persona collapses, the backlash will be very serious, and sometimes even It's so serious that it directly ruins a star's career.

Of course, these hidden dangers are not a problem at all for the students participating in the "Creating Girls' Generation" program.

They have just entered the industry, and most of them are not very popular. Now is the time to use all means to increase their fans.

To put it simply, you have to do it. The more students can do it, the more attention they will get and the easier it will be to become popular.

When they first arrived in the morning, the students were very active in front of the camera. Many of them chatted with the girls around them as if they were familiar with each other, marveled at the gorgeousness of the stage, looked forward to the teachings of their mentors and idols, or envied those with outstanding looks. girl.

The photographer brothers faithfully recorded the scene. In the future, the editor will definitely cut what they said and did into the program, but who can be the lucky one? No one I know, after all, there are more than a hundred students here.

After a midday session of calming down and putting on makeup, the students, led by the staff, lined up behind the stage.

They have to appear before the five mentors, because they are the real protagonists of this show!
