Some people know who Chu Ming is, while others don't.
But regardless of whether they know him or not, everyone thinks he shouldn't be on this show.
Because, although Chu Ming sang a song on Running Man, and it was quite good, he is after all an actor.
He doesn't have any original songs, how can he compare to the others!
Apart from Chu Ming, the singers participating in the first episode include Lin Zhixuan, Zhang Liangying, the Youth Group, Huahua, and Yu Fan.
In everyone's eyes, all of them are incredibly talented.
Even the Youth Group debuted as a group, making Chu Ming, this half-baked singer, look much weaker in comparison.
"Chu Ming, why don't you just stick to recording Running Man? What are you doing here being a singer?"
"Exactly, he's getting cocky after just singing one song. I can't believe it."
"If the Youth Group doesn't get eliminated and Chu Ming does, that'll be hilarious."
"Hahaha, I'm laughing just thinking about it! That would be amazing!"
“。。。。。。”
As the online discussion continued to ferment, Chu Ming and Bai Lu prepared to leave the Blue TV building.
"Chu Ming, don't rush off, let's grab some food later." Director Ma waved enthusiastically as he saw Chu Ming.
They reached a private room.
Director Ma smiled and said: "Have you met the other singers today?"
"I have, we met during the promotional film and makeup session." Chu Ming replied.
Out of them all, Zhang Liangying left the strongest impression on him.
Her facial contours were smooth and defined, with a beautiful oval face and a figure that had a sense of fullness, she was truly someone with an alluring inner charm.
The Youth Group was all a bunch of kids, but there was a look of disdain in their eyes.
To be honest, Yu Fan wasn't very good-looking, while Lin Zhixuan was humble.
Huahua was enthusiastic but with an underlying coldness.
The kind who seems like they get along well on the surface, but deep down they don't consider you a friend.
But that wasn't the most important thing.
The most important thing was that since he'd met them, he could enter their dreams tonight.
He could copy some of their talents, it would be amazing!
Think I'm not good enough at singing?
No problem.
I'll just use yours, and after fusing it with my own, I'll be even better than you!
Director Ma, of course, didn't know any of this.
He sighed and said to Chu Ming: "There's some negative news about you online right now."
"I feel a bit sorry for you this time. To be honest, you know I wanted to use your current popularity to generate hype for the show."
"The highest rating for music variety shows before was just 3, I'm not asking for much, I just need you to reach 2.5%!"
"That's why I offered you a 5 million yuan price tag!"
His words were sincere.
Chu Ming also nodded silently.
It's common to be invited to use your popularity when you have it.
Moreover, he needed a lot of money right now, whether it was for buying a house or buying Jiahang stocks.
Or for investing in Douyin later on!
He needed a ton of cash!
But the problem was, whether it was meeting all these artists today or Director Ma's attitude right now, it seemed like they all didn't think highly of him.
He pursed his lips and couldn't help but say: "Director Ma, no need to apologize, what if I don't get eliminated?"
"Hm?"
"If I don't get eliminated, then according to the contract, if I win the song king every episode, I get 5 million, otherwise it's 3 million." Director Ma said.
《盛世好声音》。
Six contestants each episode, three compete against each other. The three with the highest votes advance, ensuring they don't get eliminated, then the three compete in the second round to determine the song king of the episode.
The remaining three also compete in the second round, and the two with the lowest votes are eliminated.
This format means that if you perform poorly, you're out in one round.
If you do well, you still need to sing two songs per episode, the pressure is immense.
Even professional singers can't guarantee they'll win the song king.
Director Ma said earnestly: "The show starts tomorrow, don't feel too much pressure, just treat it like a game, it's a few million yuan after all."
"Hahaha, I understand." Chu Ming laughed.
Are you kidding me?
One round out.
I wouldn't feel right coming to this show if I didn't milk it for tens of millions.
。。。。。。。
On the way back, Bai Lu looked unhappy.
Chu Ming looked at her curiously: "What's wrong?"
"Chu Ming gege, a lot of people online are saying you'll be out in one round, I'm so mad!" Bai Lu complained.
Chu Ming adjusted his seat, finding a comfortable position, and said: "It's normal, after all, I'm not a professional singer."
"But... but some of them were being so rude today."
Bai Lu continued: "Besides Lin Zhixuan and Zhang Liangying, everyone else was disrespectful towards you, they made us record the demo last, it should have been our turn first!"
Looking at Bai Lu's angry expression, Chu Ming shook his head.
This was common in the industry, wasn't it?
If you don't have fame, you don't have status, you'll be bullied, it's just how it is.
Just as he was thinking, Yang Mi called.
"Hey Chu Ming, I have a song here, check it out, if you like it, we'll buy it!"
"Ah?" Chu Ming was surprised: "Buy a song?"
"Ah what, I'm buying a song, for you!" Yang Mi continued: "Quickly look, if you like it, buy it and go practice."
Chu Ming: ..
"No need, Mi Jie."
"You don't know anything, even if you get eliminated in one round, you'll be known as a singer in the company's promotions, you'll have another label, your commercial value will be higher too, do you understand?"
"No need, I already have a song prepared." Chu Ming said helplessly.
"Prepared? Did you buy it?"
"What do you mean bought, I wrote it myself, okay? You're always buying things, you spendthrift."
Yang Mi: ".."
"Chu Ming, are you trying to rebel? Okay, you wrote it yourself, fine, if you don't sing well tomorrow, you're in for it!"
Rebel?
He was already on the path of rebellion and wouldn't look back.
And he was aiming to become the biggest shareholder of Jiahang.
As for Yang Mi, she could just be a happy little wife in the future.
She'd keep fussing and getting kicked out of Jiahang, she had no future.
He'd see how he became a big shot in the entertainment industry.
One day he'd take Mimi, Reba, Bai Lu, Shishi, Liying, Nazha... and travel around the world.
He could even buy a small island, have some kids, be a stay-at-home dad, wouldn't that be awesome!
