How did I become famous?

Chapter 142 It's so good! (Second update! Please subscribe! Please vote!)

"No! I disagree!"

Lin Qingjie, one of the four judges of "The Amateur Singer" and also the most senior veteran singer, frowned as he discussed the matter with the director.

"Director, the reason our last season was so popular was because we selected some truly talented amateurs. But now you're suddenly trying to pull some strings. I'm sorry, but I can't accept that. I came to this show to discover more new talent."

Another guest, Ye Lun, jokingly tried to smooth things over, saying, "If I think it's not going to work, why not give it a try? What if they really sing well?"

Ye Lun is that superstar singer who's been really popular lately.

The title track of his new album is "Blue and White Porcelain," which was half-written by Fang Bie and then completed by Su Murin.

Lin Qingjie raised an eyebrow: "Teacher Ye, do you know something inside?"

Ye Lun knew that too.

Although this person is a bit more tactful than him, on matters of principle, he will absolutely stand by his side.

Ye Lun, however, gave an irrelevant answer: "Teacher Lin, you've heard my song 'Blue and White Porcelain,' haven't you?"

Lin Qingjie nodded: "I know, it's definitely a song that could become a classic. I heard it was written and composed by Director Fang Bie?"

He's not young anymore, and he doesn't really like watching movies.

However, Fang's other name has been frequently appearing in the news recently.

Although most of the headlines are related to him.

However, what truly made Lin Qingjie remember Fang Bie was Ye Lun's song "Blue and White Porcelain".

Ye Lun was already close to falling to the second tier, or rather, she was already considered a second-tier veteran singer.

As a result, they managed to return to the top tier of the industry thanks to their hit song "Blue and White Porcelain".

It even solidified the status of the Heavenly King, which he had almost lost.

Lin Qingjie really wanted to meet Fang Bie.

It wasn't because Fang Bie was particularly outstanding, nor was it because I wanted to commission a song.

Rather, he had heard that Fang Bie was only twenty-five years old, so he wanted to meet this young man who genuinely loved music.

He felt that he might be able to see the future of the domestic music scene in this person.

Because the current domestic music scene can only be described as a chaotic mess.

It's just as good as the film and television industry.

Moreover, the various brushes are flying everywhere, and even those with electronic music throughout can hold a concert?

It's like how some people's fans go crazy praising them when their acting skills improve even a little.

There are many so-called "singers" in the music industry nowadays who are praised for their hard work and dedication as long as they don't go off-key during a live performance.

But if one's acting skills are competent and one can sing in tune, aren't these the basic qualities of an actor and singer?

This is your job, this is what you eat.

Is it worth bragging about just doing my job?

It's worth noting that most of the contestants on the previous season of "The Amateur Singer" sang classic songs from several years ago, or even one or two decades ago.

Why is that?

Because the domestic music scene nowadays produces very few classic songs.

Some songs sound good, but they're just pop songs.

Most of them are the same; they sound good while you're listening, but you forget them as soon as you're done.

The reason why classics are classics is that they can withstand the test of time.

In Lin Qingjie's opinion, the only song that can be considered a classic in recent years is "Blue and White Porcelain" sung by Ye Lun.

Suddenly, something occurred to him, and his face lit up with joy: "Could this amateur singer be Fang Bie?"

Fang Bie is a movie actor, so when he crosses over into singing, he's just an amateur singer!

So, does this mean I'll finally get to meet this young man I've been longing to meet?

That's really great!

In his opinion, Fang Bie should have started singing a long time ago! Why does he have to go and make movies? It's a complete waste of his talent!

But Yellen's answer disappointed him.

"It's not Fang Bie, but the person who comes will most likely sing songs written by Fang Bie as well."

Lin Qingjie was quite disappointed: "You write such good songs, why don't you sing them yourself? It's such a waste of your talent!"

Even if you write a good song, you don't necessarily have to sing it yourself.

But in his opinion, it's a real shame that Fang Bie doesn't sing, given that he's so young and can write both lyrics and music for classic songs.

Moreover, the arrangement sounded extremely professional, and he couldn't believe that such a professional genius could sing badly.

However, he no longer objected to the selected person becoming a contestant on the show.

However, he still had one last stubborn point: "If that contestant doesn't sing well, I won't give them any face. I hope you understand that, Director."

The director said with a bitter expression, "Mr. Lin, let me tell you the truth. If this contestant doesn't get a good ranking, I might lose my job, and our show will be canceled."

Lin Qingjie said with a straight face, "Why did I accept the invitation to the show in the first place? Why am I willing to come back for the second season? It's because our show is real! Our show has no actors or audience members! Our show has no behind-the-scenes manipulation! Our show is live! I hope to nurture a new generation of outstanding singers, not play any hype games! If the show really changes its nature, you don't need to tell me, I'll just leave without affecting your show!"

Ye Lun, standing nearby, laughed and said, "Teacher Lin, how about we make a bet?"

He gave the director a reassuring look: "Let's bet on how well this singer performs. I believe that if she's singing a song written by Fang Bie, she can perform at a level no less impressive than yours or mine. If I win, then with her talent, whether it's pre-arranged or not is irrelevant. If I lose, I'll leave the show with you, and I'll cover the compensation amount stipulated in your contract. How about that?"

Lin Qingjie became interested: "Are you really that confident?"

Ye Lun nodded: "I have confidence in the other contestant, Teacher Fang. Besides, I once heard a friend talk about this contestant, and he said that this person's singing skills are no less than mine."

He paused for a moment, then added, "By the way, I also got my hands on 'Blue and White Porcelain' through this friend. Actually, I've always wanted to meet Professor Fang, but unfortunately, I've never had the chance."

He wanted to ask for a few more songs.

But his good friend Su Shi kept saying it was too much trouble and he was too lazy to help him.

The last time I asked him for help, I had to give him several bottles of award-winning premium ice wine before he would even give me the time of day.

That guy originally promised to write a song for himself, but what he brought was this song, "Blue and White Porcelain".

But Ye Lun was very satisfied, and from then on, he took the other person to heart.

Unfortunately, Fang Bie doesn't seem to have any plans to enter the music industry for the time being.

Actually, besides Fang Bie, Wu Kai, Su Laodie, Xu Kuangfu, and Fang Bie himself, another person who expected Fang Bie's movie to flop at the box office was Ye Lun.

If the movie flops, given Fang's musical talent, he will definitely pursue a career in the music industry.

What a pity.

Lin Qingjie agreed to the bet: "Okay, but let's make it clear first, I'm not interested in that guy who got in through connections. I just want to hear what new songs Teacher Fang has written."

He also started calling him "Teacher Fang".

It's a deal.

Fang Bie fell back into a decadent life of eating and waiting to die.

Singing to the young lady is a dead end.

I don't want to make a movie right now, and besides, everyone's in Wu Kai's film crew.

After Wu Kai finishes filming, there's Liu Mang, and then I'll have to play the male lead.

Making a game can't be done in a short time.

Fang Bie has already told Wu Qionglin and the others to hurry up and recruit people.

The young lady took a week off, but now it's turned into two weeks.

Without the young lady's cooking, Fang Bie felt like he was about to die.

Eating instant noodles every day, when will this ever end?

But when asked to do it himself, he finds it too troublesome.

So he preferred to continue eating instant noodles.

After dinner, Fang Bie was sprawled on the living room sofa, pretending to be dead, when Liu Mang called: "Old Fang! Watch TV! It's 'The Amateur Singer' on the Beijing Channel at eight o'clock!"

"Okay, I understand."

Don't hang up the phone casually.

"The Amateur Singer King"?

Is it a variety show about ordinary people singing?

What does that have to do with my "KTV karaoke queen" level C-grade singing ability?

That fat Liu Mang has gotten bolder and bolder lately, he even dares to make sarcastic remarks about me.

It seems I need to find an opportunity to make him understand who really calls the shots in the Yin-Yang Sect!

Just a few minutes later, Su Erge called: "Fang Bie, remember to watch 'The Amateur Singer' on the Beijing Channel at eight o'clock."

He hung up the phone before Fang could react.

Fang Bie scoffed; this was yet another one coming to mock his singing skills.

But how did Su Erge know that his singing was bad?

Could there be a mole among my own people?

Just then, Su Shi and his father called.

However, they all only said one sentence, and the content was exactly the same.

"Remember to watch 'The Amateur Singer' on the Beijing Channel at 8 PM."

Fang scoffed and casually tossed his phone aside.

Look at this lazybones!

Looks like they'll start catching the mole in a few days, otherwise why would everyone know their singing is terrible?

Fang Bie planned to observe secretly for a period of time.

However, two suspects have been identified so far.

Miss Su, and Liu Mang.

One of these two must be the mole!

It was eight o'clock, and Fang Bie was still lying on the sofa, pretending to be dead. He planned to rest for a while longer before going upstairs to watch some lighthearted and funny cartoons to clear his head.

But at that moment, his phone suddenly vibrated.

Someone sent me a message.

He clicked on it and sat up straight.

Because the person who sent the message was Miss Su Mulin.

The message was only one sentence long.

"At eight o'clock, 'The Amateur Singer King'."

Fang replied with lightning speed: "Okay!"

He quickly turned on the TV and switched the channel to the Beijing channel.

The amateur singer competition has already started.

The program begins with introductions of the four mentors.

Fang Bie didn't care about any of this. He even made a sarcastic remark: "If there's no 'The Voice of China,' then they give me 'The Amateur Singer King'? That's so unoriginal."

You might as well watch "Masked Crossover Singer"; at least the name of that show alone makes you want to complain.

After introducing the mentors, the host began his opening remarks.

It's basically the same old thing: "Our show has absolutely no actors, everything is real and believable," "Our show is the first in the industry to use a live broadcast format, and everything will show you the most authentic side of the contestants," and "We eliminate all behind-the-scenes manipulation," and so on.

Fang Bie had initially believed it somewhat, thinking that the live stream format was rather novel.

Amateur singers are a thing or two; who knows, maybe a few masters like Brother Bolan will emerge and bring joy to everyone?

But as soon as the host mentioned the sponsors, Fang Bie understood.

"Our program is fully sponsored by SuYu APP! SuYu lets you immerse yourself in a sea of ​​music!"

Fang Bie's eyes had turned into dead fish eyes.

He did know about Su Yu, because it was also a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Su Group, and it made a music app.

It's probably similar to a combination of QQ Music and NetEase Cloud Music from his previous life.

At the very least, the Su Group is financially powerful and holds all the copyrights in its own hands.

Moreover, there aren't that many fabricated stories in the comments about "everyone being heartbroken."

No wonder everyone makes me watch this show.

Fang Bie found it utterly boring.

But the next moment, his eyes widened.

Because among the eight contestants who broke through the encirclement, there was one he knew, and was quite familiar with.

That person is Su Mulin!

"This is ridiculous," Fang Bie muttered. "What kind of plot twist is this?"

I've stayed up all night again without even realizing it.

I'm planning to recapture that initial feeling. I've laid the groundwork enough, so now I'll try to recapture the feeling I had when I was writing the earlier parts.

To be honest, as I was writing, I started writing in my own logical style again, which made it a bit boring. I really need to be careful about that.

After all, the grades have improved a lot, and the pressure is also greater. Trying to be perfect in every aspect results in neglecting to take care of anything.

Subscriptions, daily tweets, and monthly passes also gave me the answer.

However, I've started to slowly regain my previous feeling today. When I was writing, in addition to "I am a single female lead," there was another note on my computer: "Don't pursue logic too much, the book should be interesting."

I'll be able to see your writing every day from now on!

So, how about a monthly pass as an incentive?
