Chapter 83
Fu Wenzhe's purpose for coming to this show is very simple.
For money.
Not only for the announcement fee, but also for the money that could be earned in the future.
His family situation is really bad, and he is the only support for his younger brother. He fought for the spot in the draft by himself within his company. His qualifications were so good and his personal style so strong that the company originally wanted to keep him hidden.
But Fu Wen Ze couldn't wait.
Just because he can’t wait doesn’t mean he likes the idol industry that much. Of course, rather than being looked down upon and hated like some rappers, he is more confused.
Confused about the future direction.
Confused about the ultimate meaning of his desperate efforts.
He didn't regret having given so much for his brother, but sometimes he would wonder what kind of person he would become in the future.
Xie Xichao made him see the ideal future he wanted to become.
It is not the piling up of stylized personalities with nothingness and emptiness hidden behind them, nor is it the numbness of going with the flow and drifting in a circle of decadence and decadence. It is a life-giving force.
He is a layman.
So it is easy to be infected by such powerful beauty.
He said: "The song 'World' you sang on your first stage was very nice."
Jie Xichao smiled.
Then he paused for a few seconds: "Thank you."
"You said that." He said seriously, "I'm very happy."
He never thought he could influence so many people. Yun Pan said such things, Guan Heng also said such things, and even someone as stubborn as Ai Qingyuan, although he didn't say it, actually thought so in his heart.
But it actually feels good. In particular, the impact should be positive.
This is the influence of "Jie Xichao" himself.
Rather than an NPC or a cannon fodder character that is ultimately destined to perish.
He said: "I wish us all a smooth debut."
"I wish me a smooth debut." Fu Wenze corrected him, "I wish you a smooth C debut."
"I don't have any problem with Ai Qingyuan," he said.
He paused and said frankly, "Well, I do have some opinions about him. So please fans, please support me. I don't want to see a kindergarten kid become the core of the group."
Xie Xichao laughed so hard that he almost choked on his drink.
He said, "Okay."
"I want my fans to work hard," he said, "to try to fulfill your great wish."
-
Facts have proved that no matter how often Jie Xichao uses the power of his mind, his fans are working hard.
Regain your energy for the entire Sangong period.
Although Jie Xichao was out of touch, in fact his fans didn't try very hard at all.
His vote count surged purely due to the rapid expansion of his fan base.
Now that it's the finals, the fans are finally not lying down.
Of course, this is also due to the sudden pace that was set in place in the past two days.
Qiao Ye is finished.
Although he apologized in a video, the company issued a statement and a lawyer's letter, he even came up with a stupid idea in the end and said that the girl was his childhood friend.
It's fine if he was just making trouble on his own, but the woman who was dumped was able to get in touch with the artist. She was originally a wealthy woman with some money from her family. She was coaxed into signing a confidentiality agreement, but now she got angry and gave him a Thor's hammer.
By the time the company found out about this, it was all over.
The reason why Qiao Ye did not withdraw from the competition at this moment was purely for the sake of his final dignity.
——If he withdraws from the competition, it will be a real blow. At this moment, it can still deceive naive fans and those who are stubborn because of their high sunk costs.
After all, my sister-in-law came out to testify, which means the breakup was real.
It has been a hot topic for so many days, and the heat has been fueled by all parties. This show has also reached a whole new level. Passersby were eating melons, and fans of the show were so surprised that they just wanted to say "please bring more good melons".
In the words of one fan, "It's better to be popular before debut than after debut. Before debut, they just entertain us, but after debut, the whole group is finished. I don't want to be in a dating group or a bullying group and take the blame."
The person who spoke is a fan of Jie Xichao.
At this moment, only Jie Xichao's fans can say such words with confidence. Now in the top three, Ai Qingyuan has learned a lesson as his popularity has dropped a lot due to the previous controversy. It is even more difficult for Qiao Ye to make his debut.
Only Xie Xichao's data has been soaring, and it is hard not to suspect that all the fans who ran away have come here.
The rest of the fans dared not speak out.
There were also some brave ones who murmured behind his back:
"They are so arrogant, aren't they afraid that their boss will do the same to them? I'll see what they will do then."
This thought actually caused a problem.
On an ordinary afternoon, a well-known forum of "Super Rookie" was reposting and posting as usual, and having "friendly exchanges". At this moment, a new post appeared on the homepage.
【Ordinary people in the industry, let’s talk about this program】
Is anyone interested in something you don't know?
1L L
? Cut melon
2L
What to talk about? There are so many things we don't know. My sister-in-law has already come into the house, but we don't know anything about it.
3L
The upstairs is laughing to death...
I found that Qiao Ye fans' eloquence improved sharply after they quit being fans
4L
Hahaha
He's not the only one in love
As a young man, full of youth and vigor, how can I hold it back?
5L
Fuck? ? ?
But think about it, in the entertainment industry, romances are divided into those that are publicized and those that are not publicized.
I guess less than 10% of people are really dedicated.
6L
No, LZ, it's not good to just shoot. Those who haven't been talked about have done something wrong and deserve to be destroyed by the Communist Party. Can't you just name them directly?
7L
Maybe a hundred names.
8L
Ahhhhhhh
9L
Come on, I'd say that too.
What else can it do except trigger a crisis of confidence?
I think this OP is here to raise Gu, everyone please go away
10L
[This post has been deleted by liz]
11L LZ
? ? ? Oh my god, this is so exciting
12L
If it's these two, I'm not surprised.
I've heard from a fan I know before that these two also had a lot of fun hahahahaha what nightclub yp, I can only say that there is a reason for their obscurity
But it's boring to announce the eliminated trainees. Just announce the high ranking ones. I like it.
13L
I haven't heard of the first 15.
What do you want to hear? Not just about love
14L LZ
...LZ, you are so cool, so let me ask you, who are the five people who will debut in the end?
15L
I'm satisfied upstairs
16L
I'll answer this question
C Jie Xichao, the second one I think is Ai Qingyuan, he has a relatively backward foundation
345 is more suspenseful. I have several alternatives in my mind, but they are a bit too crowded.
17L
This week's rankings are out.
1 Xie 2 Ai 3 Yun 4 Fu 5 Qiao 6 Ye 7 Zou 8 Lu 9 Shi 10 Qi
I feel that Yun Pan and Fu Ge are both pretty stable. There are indeed 5 people on the 5th place.
18L
I am dying of laughter...
19L
Objectively speaking, Yun Pan and Fu Ge feel that their fan circles and rankings have been quite stable. They are expected to hover between 3-5. Of course, there is a possibility of an upset. It depends on the vote difference. The smaller the vote difference, the greater the change.
Fifth is hard to say
Although everyone thinks Qiao Ye was kicked out, it feels even crazier that he has gained a lot of fans and stayed. Qitai probably won't give up the debut position he got, so it seems there is still hope.
Ye Yiyang seems pretty good too, he is definitely good enough to be the main dancer
20L
What about LZ? Why did he run away?
21L
look in
22L LZ
One position has been reserved. It seems that the company's operation was quite successful. The remaining two positions are still under competition and have not been decided yet.
All companies will start to operate in the next two days. However, I know that someone above is right. The parent company of a certain artist who recently got into trouble has not given up yet and has already convinced the woman. A press release will be issued in the next two days.
23L LZ
I smell the melon
24L
? ? ? What's the meaning? What does it mean to settle down?
And Qitai hasn't given up yet, can you pack up and leave with your lover?
25L
No, what is company operation?
I thought the two chosen were Xie Xichao and Ai Qingyuan
But Ai Qingyuan can be said to be protected by Shenghong behind him. What's the use of Xie Xichao's company? It's just a makeshift team.
26L
Yeah, I was confused too.
27L
...Don't think too much of the entertainment industry companies
But this kid is really talented. As far as I know, both the platform and the program team are very optimistic about him. You should have been able to feel it recently. Resources are not just about quantity, but also about camera time.
The remaining two positions are still available. Fans should work hard to let the platform see the value behind the artists. Maybe good luck will come to the person you like.
Okay, time to work. See you next time.
28L
The topic ends here.
The timing of this post is quite inconspicuous.
To be honest, as the finals are approaching, there are countless people leaking gossip on forums and Weibo.
Everyone has connections, everyone is an "industry insider", so no one is surprised. No matter how true it is, just watch it for fun.
This post did not attract much attention at first.
Just two days later, a new press release was issued. Qiao Ye's ex-girlfriend, who had been attacking Qiao Ye with the general public, suddenly turned against him, claiming that her previous words were spoken out of anger, and that she had disguised herself as a staff member to enter the show because Qiao Ye had explained the reason to her and proposed breaking up before participating in the talent show, and she was unwilling to accept this.
As soon as this press release came out, the fan circle, which had originally calmed down, naturally went into an uproar again.
Suddenly, there was chaos again, but in the midst of the chaos, someone discovered something -
"What that melon owner said a few days ago turned out to be true. He really has reached an agreement with the girl and has issued a new press release. Does he really have connections?"
"? What melon owner?"
So the old posts that had been silent were dug up, and every sentence in the posts were analyzed under a magnifying glass. This analysis, as well as those few vague analyses of Jie Xichao, caused a lot of discussion.
*
Yao Xin discovered this very early.
Before public opinion began to ferment, the public relations department directly informed Xichao's team.
Today, this special team is headed by Ming Li, Fang Qingqing is in charge of coordination, and the rest of the people perform their respective duties, and the team has gradually gotten on the right track.
Xie Xichao's every word and action is now being watched by people, and the public relations department pays great attention to any slight movement. After informing Fang Qingqing, Fang Qingqing also took it very seriously and went to discuss it with Ming Li.
Qi Yin was also present during the discussion.
The two girls were discussing animatedly, while he was watering the flowers with great interest beside them.
Ming Li took a distracted look and said, "...Boss."
"The flowers will die if you water them like this," she said tactfully.
Qi Yin:?
“Is this true or false?”
He was a little embarrassed, then strolled over and rubbed his hands: "Are you in trouble? Can I help you?"
Fang Qingqing: “…”
Even though she had worked here for a long time, she still found it difficult to get used to their boss's beautiful mental state.
But no matter how crazy or unconventional a boss is, he is still a boss. The boss not only pays the salary, but also supports the entire company and their Ziweixing, so you still have to reply to the boss's words.
She briefly explained it, but afraid that Qi Yin wouldn't understand, she explained to him: "It should be the other company's deliberate attempt to lead the trend. They want to target Xi Chao as a royal family member. The program team and we wrote a script to change his fate. On the surface, one is suppressing and the other is helping, but in reality, they are playing a double act."
I have to say, this is indeed a very novel and effective angle.
The difficulty in identifying Xi Chao lies in the fact that he himself is truly beyond reproach.
From personality to character, to business ability.
As people in the industry, they know these things very well.
If you can't start with yourself, you can only look for points from the outside. Their purpose is certainly not to push Jie Xichao out of the debut position, but just to reduce his popularity slightly.
This angle is the most suitable.
Although Qi Yin was a little nervous, he was smart and understood.
He exclaimed, "Our little Ziweixing is so hated. What should we say now?"
"In theory," Ming Li said, "whoever advocates must provide evidence. So the other party is using a common tactic. They put out several rumors at the same time, and only one of them is true. As long as this one is confirmed, then it will be 'proven' in disguised form, and the rhythm will be set."
This is a difficult matter.
The main plot is not that big, but if a passerby believes it, it would be a complete brainwashing package.
It is right to care, and it is wrong not to care.
Qi Yin thought for a moment and said, "Issue a statement?"
"It's hard to write a statement." Ming Li smiled bitterly, "How to make a statement? Say Xi Chao is not a royal family member? It's impossible to put such a thing on the table, and the production team won't agree to it."
Qi Yin didn’t understand the first part, but he disagreed with the last part: “Why bother with them?”
Ming Li: “…”
Okay, that's right.
But even if we ignore the program team, this matter has to be resolved.
Qi Yin thought for a moment and said, "Ask Xi Chao?"
Ming Li thought so too.
But she hesitated again: "Am I relying too much on him..."
In fact, she has asked the public relations department to draw up several plans.
"Is he busy?" Qi Yin said, "If not, just ask. I feel that Xiaojie is smarter than us in the previous few incidents. Let's see what he thinks. If he thinks it's not a big deal, then we don't need to worry about it."
He paused and clapped his hands. "Well, at worst we can just give him the PR salary, or change the profit-sharing contract. To be honest, I think the contract we signed with him before was a bit unfair to him, so let's take this opportunity to change it."
Ming Li: “…”
Qi Yin actually called the finance and legal departments.
While asking the legal department to draft the contract, he said to Ming Li, "Go ahead, I'll talk to him later. Players need the company's care before the game, otherwise it would seem that we are so cold and indifferent."
The finance and legal affairs officers on the side twitched their lips.
Will an artist really be happy if he gets a call from his boss before a game, or it’s crisis PR?
It turns out that their boss is not an ordinary person, and the artists are not ordinary people either.
When the phone was answered, the boy on the other end was a little breathless and sounded like he had just got off a treadmill, but his tone was still steady.
After listening to Ming Li's words, he was silent for a moment, then said: "It's okay."
There was a smile in the slightly hoarse voice, which made people feel at ease for no reason.
-
There was the sound of the heater running in the air.
Qi Yin said, "Are you sure you don't want to worry about it? Ming Li and Qing Qing are very worried. What if it becomes a black material against you in the future?"
Ming Li, Fang Qingqing: "..."
Not really.
They also thought that this matter sounded outrageous, but they were too concerned and confused. Jie Xichao had reached a critical moment, and they were always afraid that he would end up like Qiao Ye... Well, it's not that there would be negative news, but that one wrong step would lead to a complete loss.
"Ask first if it's true, and then talk about the negative information." Xie Xichao said with a smile, "Mr. Qi, I should be the most suppressed person in "Super Rookie". If I were a royal family, then half of the people in this show could ascend the throne."
Qi Yin:.
That makes sense.
"Besides," Xie Xichao continued, "Of course the show has a human setting and a script. Changing one's fate is certainly a script, but it is also within a reasonable range, because the reactions of the audience and fans can be predicted, but not completely predicted."
He paused, "The people who came up with this method to snipe me are actually treating the audience as fools who will be led by capital."
Very arrogant idea.
Because I have thought about doing a fully automatic talent show, I naturally think that the audience will pay for anything. Even the experienced Jie Xichao did not predict that fans would vote for him to the C position in the second public performance, not to mention the capital of arrogance.
His experience is there, and his fans and even audiences have been with him all the way, but he knows that they won't believe it at all.
"My suggestion," he said, "is to guide the public's attention appropriately. They don't dare to set too high a tone. This kind of thing is very close to the truth. If it gets out of hand and people misunderstand that it's all automatic, then it's not my problem. It's a question of whether the program will be investigated."
A word can wake a dreamer up.
Ming Li nodded immediately: "Indeed, why didn't I think of that."
Why let the melon owner talk about ambiguous melons?
On the one hand, half-truths are easier to believe.
On the other hand, if it is really said that the program team specially created the C position for Jie Xichao and the whole program is his debut show, then this is a real rumor.
The Internet is not a lawless place.
They dare not.
So all they have to do is to lead the trend and then wait and see how it develops.
This matter does not require any further guidance from Jie Xichao.
If an agency doesn't even know how to guide public opinion, then everyone in this company has nothing to do with their job.
The matter was resolved and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Ming Li asked with concern: "How are you feeling recently? Are you busy?"
Qi Yin said: "Li Li, your words are really kind."
Ming Li: “…”
Hold on.
It's the boss.
You can't hit people.
When Jie Xichao on the other end heard the voice from this side, he finally couldn't help laughing.
"Everything is fine." He said, "Don't worry, Sister Li."
"Were you practicing just now?" Ming Li said, "Don't be too tired, just play normally."
"Yes." Xie Xichao said, "I know."
*
After hanging up the phone, Jie Xichao looked at himself in the mirror.
It was quiet all around, with only the sound of my own breathing ringing in my ears.
He stood there quietly for a while, then went over and unplugged the speaker. The power cord fell to the floor with a click. Together with the sound of the leaves outside, it highlights the tranquility of the night.
No one else is here today, so I have a rare moment alone.
Xie Xichao is used to collective life, but he also likes to be alone occasionally. Being alone allows him to better examine himself and calm his mind.
He was indeed practicing just now, practicing his solo piece.
He spent two days in the studio, and finally decided to keep the stock for the time being, choosing a very standard and traditional popular boy group song.
Of course, the dance to this song is very difficult.
He had not shown his dancing ability as a boy group dancer in any of his three performances, so he decided to make up for it on the final solo stage.
He took a sip of water, and the small dice rolled out of his pocket and rolled excitedly on the blanket.
Xie Xichao raised a finger to punish it: "Shh, there's someone there."
The little dice immediately turned into a stiff corpse.
Xie Xichao said, "I'm just kidding."
Small dice: “…”
It’s fine to bully a fool, but why bully a genius little pet!
It turned its back angrily, and Jie Xichao smiled gently. The phone call just now did not have any emotional impact on him. After resting for a while, he stood up and continued to do the final basic skills exercises.
Outside the window, the moon is rising above the willows, and another quiet night is passing quietly.
The next day, public opinion fermented.
There are rumors circulating about the royal family of Jie Xichao.
There were passers-by who questioned, and there were passers-by who just watched the show. The show circle was in an uproar, with most people half believing and half doubting, and a small number of people being led astray.
Xie Xichao's fan club immediately issued a statement in response to the rumors that leaked during the process of eating melons. At the same time, fans began to make all-round clarifications.
On the third day, the voices of the royal family gradually died down.
With the sorting out of various cut data, timelines, and the laying out of various material evidence, the mood of bystanders who were watching the show finally calmed down, and they began to seriously think about what Jie Xichao's fans said: "If such an ups and downs script is tailor-made for us, it can only be because Xichao is the biological son of the Nebula boss."
"There is only one Jie Xichao in the world. If someone else comes, he will be eliminated in the first public performance. How can there be a chance to follow the script?"
"If there really is such a script, then the production team can stop producing the show and just set up a stall to tell fortunes. Otherwise, how can they accurately calculate the fans' psychology? Or do you think the current talent shows are still rigging votes?
I support a strict investigation. Anyway, I am not responsible for any problems and we have a clean record. ”
On the fourth day, public opinion basically reversed.
The original poster was still stubborn a few days ago, but when he saw the situation was not right, he immediately deleted his account.
It's just too late.
That night, it was revealed by some powerful netizens that there was a professional marketing team behind his account. The netizens followed the clues and found countless other things happening that night.
Day 5, Day 6…
In the last week, new rankings are announced every day, and there is a new rhythm every day. All the trainees were not spared, true and false information was flying everywhere, and the voting entered a white-hot stage. Both the trainees themselves and the fans are already on the edge of their seats.
Some people confessed with tears, while others were secretly frightened. Some people are anxious, while others remain calm and wait for the last day to come.
On the last day, which was the day of the finals, public opinion was settled.
All trainees took the bus to the final venue.
Several months of closed "study" are still vivid in my mind——
And at this moment, they have finally arrived at the final exam, and are about to face the final result that will determine their fate for a long time in the future.
