Chapter 358 Cats and Dogs

Luo Qi was a little confused.

Zhou Rongze has gone on a business trip. It is said that he is now taking the international high-end route and frequently travels all over the world.

That's fine, but Chen Tianye and Uncle Qiao also ran away or scattered. I heard that Lu Ye was about to collapse in Lizhou and needed the two of them to go and help him.

These two alone are not enough. The entire production department, including all the shift workers, has now gone to various states to provide support.

The reason she was confused was that, at this moment, at Tianrui headquarters, she was actually the one speaking the loudest!

Normally, she might even feel a little smug, but now she feels like she's in prison.

Every day, dealing with trivial business matters was enough to keep him busy from morning till night. He had no choice but to call Zheng Jing back from Yuezhou, claiming that they would share the good times and the bad, but in reality, he was just trying to drag Zheng Jing into this mess.

In Zheng Jing's words, she didn't get to enjoy the blessings, but she certainly got to experience the hardships to the fullest.

"This can't go on."

Seeing the email with 99+ red notifications, Zheng Jing's face turned green: "Other big companies, if they're really too busy, they'll hire headhunters to help find talent managers. What are we doing? Besides, we're just looking for high-quality artists and discovering excellent agents. We're not professionals in business management."

"Do you think Lao Zhou doesn't know this principle?"

Luo Qi couldn't help but roll her eyes.

What's the significance of this?

Zheng Jing looked puzzled.

"He just wants to prove himself; he's so concerned about saving face that he suffers for it."

Luo Qi seemed to get angrier the more she thought about it, and she started to mutter curses.

"Who are you trying to save face for? Could it be Mu Bai...?"

"It's good that you know."

Before Zheng Jing could finish speaking, Luo Qi nodded and then gestured with her eyes to the door, which was not yet fully closed, implying that she should be careful as the walls might be eavesdropping.

"No matter what, Tianrui is a subsidiary of the Li Group. Now that the leaders have all disappeared, shouldn't they send down one or two outstanding talents to help manage it?"

After reading a few emails, Zheng Jing was busy printing them while muttering to herself.

"Don't count on that side, and don't tell anyone. They're busier over there now."

Luo Qi lowered his voice and said, "There's less than a week until it's fully open. All industries are watching this. This time it's not the boy who cried wolf, but a whole bunch of tigers that are already starving and blinded by hunger."

Zheng Jing knew that Luo Qi was referring to capital from foreign countries and asked in confusion, "Didn't Mr. Li make any prior arrangements?"

"How is that possible?"

Luo Qi raised her voice: "To deal with this, not only Chairman Li, but also the richest people in each state have gathered together several times. I heard Mu Bai mention that they started preparing half a year ago. But firstly, they have no experience in dealing with this situation, and secondly, the changes brought about this time are too great. So even after preparing for half a year, they still feel it is not safe, there are too many variables."

Will this affect our company?

Zheng Jing frowned slightly and temporarily stopped what she was doing.

"It's hard to say, but the company has significantly increased its overseas business recently, otherwise there wouldn't be a shortage of manpower."

Luo Qi pondered for a moment and said, "But I think there will definitely be an impact. Our company is one of the top companies in the entertainment industry in China, so it will inevitably be the first target of our overseas counterparts. So now we can only do our job well and try our best to share the pressure with the company. When the dividends doubled, I knew that this money would become a hot potato sooner or later."

When the topic of dividends came up, Zheng Jing looked both amused and exasperated, and the two ended the conversation there, continuing with their work.

In fact, apart from the top capital in various industries, small and medium-sized enterprises have not paid much attention to the full opening up. After all, the first confrontation only involves the high-level players. Let alone wrestling with foreign capital, they don't even have the qualifications to be cannon fodder.

As for the general public, they don't care much; they only care about things in the entertainment industry.

Even now, these outsiders still talk about the fourth episode of "Masked Singer" with great interest, especially Lin Rui's amazing performance of singing in both male and female voices.

This level of skill deeply shocked the Chinese music scene. An Yuechun, who was once the number one person in the music scene, said something intriguing in public.

From this day forward, she is no longer worthy of this title. Please, heroes, spare her life!

Actually, An Yuechun was quite unlucky; she was recognized on the spot. That's right, she was Ni Chang, the masked singer from the fourth episode.

To be honest, when An Yuechun agreed to record this program, she never thought she would have an orgasm right from the start!

At first, she even looked down on the members of the judging panel. After repeatedly studying the first three episodes, she was deeply worried about the intelligence of the main members of the judging panel, so she also knew how to pretend.

She actually did it, but she clearly missed a trick called "secret plan," and then she was taken advantage of by five hundred extras in turn.

That would be a tragic end!

Of course, Empress Changping and the vultures suffered the same fate as her.

Vulture was one thing, since Emma recognized him as soon as he came on stage, but the moment Vulture took off his mask, everyone in the audience stood up!

Top-tier international brand!

Still the mainstream first-tier brands!

He was hailed by the nation as having a voice closest to that of a superstar!

As for Empress Changping, also known as Sima Yanran, this girl seems to have deliberately revealed her secrets, at least that's what people say online.

After it was revealed that Sima Yanran would play the female lead in "Inception", everyone was relieved.

After Fu Sheng revealed her true identity, she immediately revealed herself in another way. It is said that the two played a couple in the movie. Could this be interpreted as a husband and wife working together?

Now, only Soaring Nightingale and Violent Doll are still alive on "Masked Singer". These two are indeed very talented, and their performances on stage are impeccable.

As for whether it can survive past the fifth episode, it's really hard to say. After all, many video bloggers have made related analysis videos, and there are two viewpoints that are more popular with the public.

One theory is that in the next episode, "Masked Singer" will welcome a judging panel of judges from the World Arts Conference. This argument is entirely plausible, since "Masked Singer" has risen to the international first tier. Although Christie and Emma are quite famous, they are still not enough. Unless the show's production team plans to start strong but then decline and invite some third- or fourth-tier international artists in the fifth episode, they will definitely welcome top-notch judging panel members.

Another explanation is the invitation to singers; these bloggers have even set a minimum standard, which is international second-tier singers.

Strong evidence is that "Masked Singer" not only became a hit but also successfully went beyond its original niche. Neither Tianrui nor Xianci Entertainment will give up on this successful program, after all, they have already signed broadcasting contracts with more than 700 video websites from various countries. It is said that the line of sponsors from home and abroad is almost stretching all the way to Sangzhou.

Therefore, this show will not fall into silence because of Fusheng's departure; on the contrary, it will only become more and more popular, and the requirements for inviting artists will only become higher and higher.

Of course, some video bloggers have pointed out that considering that four people were eliminated in the fourth round, the fifth episode may appropriately invite contestants who shone in the World Art Competition, such as Shen Yun, Bai Wanqiu, Sun Youlin, Kevin and others.

Upon seeing these analyses, Shen Yun, Bai Wanqiu, and Sun Youlin's expressions immediately soured. They looked at each other as if to say, "Why don't you go first? I'm really not in a hurry!"

In short, the audience is eagerly anticipating the fifth episode of "Masked Singer".

"Director Zhang, what's the situation outside?"

The script supervisor was having a bit of a headache, but there were some last-minute adjustments on set, so things weren't so busy anymore.

"It's alright. The worst outcome is just one more circus."

Zhang Qingsheng covered his forehead; he was truly impressed by Li Mubai, that sixth brother!

When Zhang Qingsheng first suggested getting Lin Rui a tiger, he thought the idiot had lost his mind. Of course, things did turn out the way he expected, but there were some differences.

The tiger didn't come; instead, two black bears did!

Oh, and there's a male and a female, plus four animal trainers!

Of course, that's not the scariest part. After all, those two things are usually locked in cages and, apart from occasionally barking to make their presence known, they're not really a threat.
