Chapter 449 Cyber Battle Cricket
The atmosphere was silent for a long time, until Du Hua and Wang Yibo were almost sweating, Meng Bai finally spoke.
"I heard from Ziyi before that you called her to apologize?"
Wang Yibo was stunned for a moment, then quickly said: "Yes. Because of my fans, Sister Meng was scolded, and I feel very sorry for her. In fact, when the crew was filming before, we were quite familiar with Sister Meng, and we didn't expect something like this would happen."
"Sister Meng?" Meng Bai looked at him, "What year was Xiao Wang born?"
"I was born in 1997."
"Oh, then you really have to call me Sister Meng." Meng Bai said: "Okay, your Sister Meng said that this matter can't be entirely blamed on you. Come to think of it, I have to thank you for posting on Weibo to help explain it."
"Haha, President Meng, that's too serious. The incident was caused by us, and we should explain it clearly to our fans."
Du Hua smiled again: "These kids are young, and many things in the circle are immature. I hope President Meng can give us more advice in the future."
After that, she touched Wang Yibo, and the latter quickly thanked Meng Bai.
Meng Bai waved his hand: "Okay, don't be so polite. Let's just do what we need to do at the ceremony."
"Okay, Mr. Meng, we won't bother you any more." Du Hua stood up, "Regarding the program, if there is anything you need, just let me know."
"In that case, when there is a stage to help with the performance, let Xiao Wang make a guest appearance and help the program gain some popularity." Meng Bai said.
Du Hua immediately said: "No problem, Mr. Meng, don't worry, just notify us whenever you need us."
Wang Yibo also nodded in agreement.
As the two were about to say goodbye, Meng Bai suddenly said, "By the way, let's take a photo together. Otherwise, the fans behind you will think I'm bullying you when they see you standing here for a long time."
Wang Yibo hurriedly said, "No, President Meng, I will explain it to the fans..."
He was interrupted by Du Hua halfway through his words, who gave him a look and then said with a smile, "Then let's take a photo with President Meng, so that there will be one more item in the company's honor room in the future."
"Just post it on Weibo, forget about the honor room." Meng Bai made a joke, then stood up and took a photo with Wang Yibo.
Seeing that Meng Bai really didn't pursue the matter any further, Du Hua finally let go of her worries.
In fact, before this, she had always wanted to bring Wang Yibo to apologize to Meng Bai. It's just that President Meng's whereabouts are erratic, and she has never been able to make an appointment.
It was not easy to meet him at the Scream Night of Qiyi TV tonight. Although she felt that the occasion was a bit inappropriate, Du Hua still came here with a stiff upper lip.
There is no way. Although Wang Yibo is now a top idol, there is actually no stage suitable for idols in the domestic entertainment industry. Artists who want long-term development must eventually move towards film and television.
They cannot squeeze into the traditional film and television circle, and can only rely on emerging Internet capital. It just so happens that this field is the main battlefield of the Arclight system. The status of Arclight Film and Television can be seen from the attitudes of several major platforms.
Artists under Lehua Entertainment, former ace Han Geng, are no longer as popular and hot as before as they grow older. Girl group idols such as Cheng Xiao, Wu Xuanyi, and Meng Meiqi are inherently at a disadvantage in the domestic entertainment market dominated by female fans.
As the only remaining ace, Lehua has high hopes for Wang Yibo. If he offends Arclight, it would be too bad.
Don’t think that the top stream sounds awesome, and all project parties want to grab it, but in fact, that is all said to fans, and it is actually very empty.
There is no need to talk about the past. A few days ago, Weibo Night held a vote for the "Entertainment Person of the Year". Xiao Zhan and Wang Yibo, the two "explosive top streamers" this year, were forced to be crushed by UZI in the e-sports circle, and the number of votes was still a huge crushing.
Facts have proved that male fans are not without value, but they pay less attention to the film and television entertainment industry.
This can be clearly seen from the industry data. The total market size of the film and television entertainment industry is only 200 billion yuan throughout the year, while the game market alone has exceeded 300 billion yuan, not to mention other entertainment fields.
Celebrities seem to be very well-known, but in fact it is only because of the high-profile nature of the film and television entertainment industry itself. The voice is loud, but the actual influence is really not that high.
Du Hua has been in the entertainment industry for many years and naturally understands the truth. So even though Meng Bai never expressed any restrictions on them, she still insisted on taking Wang Yibo to apologize in person.
Fortunately, the final result was not bad. President Meng did not embarrass them, and the matter was finally revealed.
Watching Du Hua and the other person leave, and seeing off Tian Ming, Meng Bai sat in his seat with a playful smile in his eyes.
Just after taking a group photo, Wang Yibo directly posted a Weibo, saying that he was honored to meet Mr. Meng tonight and thanked him for his help.
You know, in the previous "The Untamed" incident, although his fans fought fiercely with Xiao Zhan's fans, they also agreed to "fight against the evil capital arc" together.
Now that the main person on one side has suddenly "rebelled" from the camp, Meng Bai is very curious about what the reaction of his fans will be, and what kind of relationship he will have with Xiao Zhan's fans in the future.
Meng Bai touched his chin. It seems too narrow-minded to hold on to a few little idols with his own identity. It's better to provoke them casually like now, and play "cyber cricket fighting", which feels quite interesting.
"Hey!"
A small hand patted Meng Bai's shoulder, and then Li Yitong's dissatisfied voice came from behind: "Why aren't you afraid at all?"
"I can smell your perfume from a long distance, and you still want to sneak attack me, haha."
"Tsk, you have a sharp nose." Li Yitong sat down next to him, "Why did you come here tonight?"
"Girl, the person sitting in front of you is your producer, it's normal for you to come here."
"That's not what I'm talking about." Li Yitong said, "Didn't you dislike participating in these activities before? Why are you here again today?"
"I haven't seen Boss Li for a long time, so I came here specially to accompany you." Meng Bai said without hesitation.
Li Yitong heard this and immediately smiled with her eyes curved - she knew that this guy was coaxing her, but she was willing to listen.
"The Undocumented Crime" has been very popular recently." Meng Bai said, "I saw that many viewers praised your role."
As the second part of the "Zijin Chen Trilogy", with the popularity of the previous work "The Bad Kids", "The Undocumented Crime" has received a lot of attention as soon as it was launched.
The first episode of the premiere exceeded 8,000 in the site's popularity value, and the third-party platform's online drama real-time popularity list ranked second - the first place was "Celebrating Yu Nian", Tencent Video's drama king this year.
Coincidentally, the heroine of both dramas is Li Yitong.
It is precisely because of these two hit dramas that have been broadcast one after another that this girl's popularity has grown rapidly recently. Many of her fans have expressed their feelings that their sister will no longer have only one "Tong Rong'er" to show off.
"I have to thank Teacher Qin Hao and Teacher Zhang Songwen for their guidance. They have been teaching me how to perform better on the scene." Li Yitong said: "By the way, there is also Teacher Ning Li, his role is the most popular."
Hearing this, Meng Bai couldn't help laughing.
Indeed, the drama "Undocumented Crime" has the recent hit heroine Li Yitong, and Qin Hao and Zhang Songwen, who have received rave reviews in the previous work. But what no one expected was that this "male lead + female lead + villain male lead" put together, none of the supporting roles are as popular.
The killer Li Toyota, played by Ning Li, is called "the new generation of killer god after Zhang Dongsheng" by the audience for his ruthless and taciturn character, plus the unique sign of "reverse smoking."
"The Undocumented Crime" has aired six episodes so far. The character Li Toyota only appeared for less than 20 minutes, but his popularity exceeded that of all the main characters. Lian Ningli did not expect that after acting for more than ten years, he became famous because of a villain supporting role.
Unfortunately, the drama "The Undocumented Crime" is relatively small in size and the overall plot is not complicated, so it should be difficult to surpass the performance of "The Hidden Corner".
Scream Night started in the afternoon, but it did not officially start until the evening.
In addition to the two of them, Meng Bai's table also included Su Xiao, the president of Ningmeng Film and Television, Jiaozi, the director of "Nezha: The Devil Child Comes to the World", and Wang
Jinsong, who had just collaborated with Ruyi on "The Accidental Manslaughter", etc. On the contrary, Qin Hao and Zhang Songwen were arranged at another table. I don't know what rules Qiyi TV used to allocate seats.
The main purpose of Meng Bai's coming today was to show up and wait for the annual award of "The Hidden Corner". There was nothing else to do.
Fortunately, Boss Li was with them. Although they couldn't do anything private due to the camera, it didn't affect their conversation.
"By the way, has your program "Girl Group Audition" reached its limit of applicants?"
"The number of applicants must have been full a long time ago, but the program team will still screen among them, and it's hard to say how many will be left in the end." Meng Bai said, "Why, Boss Li also wants to debut as a group?"
"Hehe, I won't make trouble for myself." Li Yitong laughed, "It's Daxi. When we were chatting a few days ago, she said she wanted to participate in your program, and she didn't know if she could be selected."
"Has she signed up?" Meng Bai thought about it, and seemed to not remember having seen Jin Chen's name, "Maybe they contacted each other during this period. Why, are you worried that she won't be selected?"
"A little bit." Li Yitong said, "Daxi was delayed by the company for more than a year because of contract issues. Although she has started filming again, her popularity is no different from that of newcomers. So she wanted to see if she could increase her popularity through this program."
"Then you can rest assured. What the program lacks most now is contestants who can dance."
"Sisters Riding the Wind and Waves" is built as a girl group, and singing and dancing are definitely indispensable.
Singing is a relatively easy thing to say. As long as you are not a "genius" like Meng Ziyi, most people can sing a few lines along with the melody. Even if the singing is average, the sound can be corrected later.
But dancing is not a skill that can be learned through intensive training. Although the girl group dance is generally simple, the feeling of people with basic skills and novices dancing is completely different.
Therefore, among the "sisters" who have registered so far, more than 80% have filled in singing in the specialty column. Only a few contestants like former girl group members Meng Jia, Wang Feifei, Zhang Hanyun, and Wang Likun who has learned dance have added the "dance" item. There are a
total of 30 contestants in this program, and it is definitely not enough to have just a few people who can dance. Therefore, professional contestants like Jin Chen do not need Meng Bai to say hello at all, and the program team will definitely not let them go.
Speaking of which, Meng Bai has always heard that Jin Chen has a good foundation in dancing and won the gold medal of the "Tao Li Cup" when he was in school. It's just that apart from the few moves he practiced at his home, he has never seen the complete version with his own eyes.
This time, he could satisfy his curiosity by recording a program.
…
The process of the Scream Night on Qiyi TV was much longer than Meng Bai expected. He sat on the scene for four or five hours before it was over.
After returning with Li Yitong, Meng Bai found that he was on the hot search list the next day after waking up.
One was the Weibo post he asked Wang Yibo to post last night. He didn't know whether it was posted by his fans or bought by Lehua, but it was in the top three of the hot search list for most of the day.
Meng Bai flipped through the comments section under the Weibo with great interest. As he expected, the fans were confused by the sudden "defection" of their own main character.
Some continued to implement the previous "opposition" strategy, claiming that this was Meng Bai deliberately controlling their brother.
Others cheered on the contrary, saying that their brother had embraced the thigh of Arc Light, and then the film and television resources would not be a problem in the future.
If there is anyone who is more confused than Wang Yibo's fans, it is Xiao Zhan's fans. It was agreed that everyone would unite to fight, but how come your family surrendered to the enemy in the blink of an eye.
Originally, with the end of the broadcast of "The Untamed", the conflict between the two fans has eased a lot. But now it has been intensified again.
But the situation this time is different. Since the traffic era, too many passers-by netizens have been fed up with this kind of "battle" between fan circles, and have expressed that these traffic fans should find a place to fight themselves, and don't always occupy the public platform.
And the traffic fans have long developed the habit of automatic fighting in various fan circle battles. When they see someone blaming, no matter whether it is a passer-by or a rival, they immediately start to fight back. In this way, the situation has been further intensified.
After Meng Bai looked around the Internet, he vaguely felt that if these traffic fans continued like this, it would not take long for them to be backfired. Now there is only a fuse.
But this has nothing to do with him. It is also interesting to be a bystander and watch the "electronic cricket fight".
As for another hot search, it is him and Li Yitong.
The two sat next to each other at the Scream Night for a whole night. Even if they thought about keeping a distance, they would subconsciously get together from time to time. Under the camera, they seemed quite intimate.
But now is different from before. For such a "scandal" that has no offensive power, Meng Bai is too lazy to care at all. At most, he asked the company to contact Weibo to remove the hot search.
Even Li Qin and the other girls said nothing, apparently they were used to this kind of gossip about him.
Even Li Yitong’s own fans found an excuse for them - Meng Bai is the producer, Li Yitong is the lead actress, isn’t it normal for them to have a good relationship?
Looking at the fans who have automatically adapted, Meng Bai couldn’t help but laugh, he really hoped that everyone could have such awareness! After
flipping through it casually again, Meng Bai was about to exit the app when a piece of news caught his attention.
[The latest news from CCTV News: Recently, many cases of influenza have appeared in Jiangcheng, and the type has not yet been determined.
