Chapter 35
Even Shen Mingzheng, who was reborn, found this matter very novel now.
After all, in his previous life, Ou Tu Si Cao had ended in failure due to power struggles. Many talented students had almost no chance to make a name for themselves. Only Ji Mowei managed to make a name for himself.
Not only Li Chu, but also these people who should have been drowned by fate, who knows what will happen if they are handed over to Su Ning.
Regarding this matter, Chen Yuan discussed the next steps with Su Ning and Shen Mingzheng long before the finals.
Director Chen had planned this a long time ago, but she couldn't choose between Shen Mingzheng and Su Ning. She was afraid of offending one of them, and she was also afraid of losing the interests of the platform.
It just so happened that after Shen Huai collapsed not long ago, the person in charge of Orange Video was replaced. After discussion, they decided to take a gamble and agreed to follow Chen Yuan's opinion.
After all, if it really succeeds, the platform can make a lot of money, and there will be the fifth and sixth seasons of Idol Star Map, so it can continue to operate in the long term, which is equivalent to a golden signboard.
Today, Chen Yuan saw Shen Mingzheng and Su Ning like this, and she knew that there was no need to worry about offending them. It was the same for everyone, especially now that Light and Shadow Entertainment had Qilin as a shareholder, so they would have more experience, and Shen's Pictures had a complete production team. Not to mention, Xiao Shen always knew how to write songs.
Su Ning was really impressed by this.
At that time, he just thought that Shen Mingzheng was extraordinary, but he didn't expect that he was so powerful that he was almost omnipotent and could also create independently.
Moreover, after taking on this job, it is a foregone conclusion that he and Shen Mingzheng will continue to have in-depth cooperation in all aspects.
At present, Guangying Entertainment is indeed unable to fully exert the true influence of the debut group of Idol Pictures Four. Taking on this project together with Shen's Pictures and sharing this cake is the best choice.
Therefore, it is too one-sided to say that Su Ning decided to marry Shen Mingzheng in order to obtain the inheritance and power of the Shen family. He made up his mind completely because of this person.
The performance on the stage is still going on. In addition to the singing and dancing in the previous part, the most important part of the finals is of course when the rankings are announced.
As the music started, Su Ning, whose mind was full of follow-up work, had to concentrate on the results in front of him.
Although he has to take on this operation work regardless of whether Li Chu can debut, it would be great if his own artist is in the debut group.
As for Shen Mingzheng, he thought Su Ning's nervous look was also very interesting. So while others were watching the stage, he was watching Su Ning sitting on the side.
The host of the finals is very good at keeping people in suspense. Every time each name is announced, it is very exciting. The rankings are announced from the middle, starting with the fourth place.
After a brief introduction, what caused the audience to scream was that the fourth person was Qu Shoubai who played in the replacement match!
He received more than 30 million votes, which was a sure win compared to previous seasons. But this season, he could only get fourth place.
This is enough to show how popular Ou Tu Si is this season.
Many people have discussed online whether the organization vote for the replacement match was in time, whether there was a huge gap between the previous members, and whether this was fair.
But in fact it is still in time. When there is enough explosion, everything is in time.
In fact, due to the unique setting of the competition, the replacement match attracted a lot of loyal fans. Not to mention those who advanced, such as Qu Shoubai and Li Chu, even those who did not advance, such as Song Yu, almost doubled their number of fans on the platform. It can be said that everyone gained something.
As Qu Shoubai walked forward, besides being excited for him, people couldn't help but think of Li Chu's ranking.
You know, when Li Chu advanced in the re-placement match, his number of votes was higher than his.
The most exciting part was Qu Shoubai's speech after he came on stage. He was a child star and was always calm in the show before, but now he couldn't help being excited and his eyes were a little red.
In addition to first thanking his fans for their support and the company that has nurtured him, he also mentioned one person in particular.
"Thank you to the people who have been by my side since the rematch. I have actually had a smoother journey than most people. It is undeniable that this is a kind of luck. But I saw from him the persistence beyond luck and the hard work beyond talent. Thank you so much."
"I will definitely face everyone with a better self in the future."
“Thank you to everyone for giving me this platform.”
No name was mentioned, but everyone could guess who it was.
Su Ning was quite surprised when he heard this. He knew that Li Chu had made friends here, but he didn't expect him to be so sincere.
He was worried that Li Chu was a little introverted and that he wouldn't get along well with others. Now it seems that he was overthinking.
The old father was very pleased and a little touched.
Even later on, Qu Shoubai was not the only one who mentioned Li Chu.
The audience had a rough idea of the other rankings, and judging from the popularity on the Internet, it was pretty much what everyone had guessed. In the end, the competition for the first and second place, as Su Ning had expected, really fell between Ji Mowei and Li Chu.
When the two people stood up, the screams from the audience never stopped.
The host stood in the middle and said a lot of words to whet the audience's appetite, pulling at everyone's heartstrings, and finally said: "It's a very interesting thing. When the voting was closed, the difference between the first and second place was only 7 votes."
"Yes, it's just a single-digit difference."
"Then who will be the first place among us who are both talented and lucky?"
The spotlight shone on the two people, and after a tense drumbeat accompanied by the screams of the audience, the even stronger light fell on——
On Li Chu!
It’s Li Chu!
It's really him!
With more than 60 million votes, he is the first in the fourth picture!
At that moment, Su Ning could hardly hear any other sounds. He only heard the fans' screams that almost broke through the sky.
He knew that the child's fate was no longer the same at this moment.
It was a wonderful feeling. The person under the bright lights was not Su Ning himself, but he was also truly happy and truly gained an incomparable sense of accomplishment.
This was the moment he would never forget when he first started working as a manager. When an artist achieved success, he applauded from the audience, but he was different from the others who were applauding. He shared the glory.
He even created this glory.
Anyone who can debut in this kind of competition is lucky. Although Ji Mowei, who got second place, felt a little regretful, looking at his expression, he was not completely unprepared mentally.
As the second place winner, he was the first to speak. The first part of his speech was naturally to thank the fans. Ji Mowei did not have a company. His family opened a small studio for him, where he was the only one. After many reflections, his last words were: "I am very grateful to my opponent, my future teammate. As he said, there is still a long way to go in the future."
"We'll see. I won't be second forever."
He is quite cool and yet somewhat unwilling to admit defeat.
And tonight, Li Chu, who was a dark horse and won first place and was cueed several times, mentioned one person in his speech after standing on the stage.
Not his teammate, but Su Ning.
"Not long ago, I would never have thought that I would be standing here. I even felt that dreaming was a luxury."
"Thank you for changing me."
"But I want to thank one person in particular, Su Ning, my boss, who is also the one who led me here. Thank you."
Li Chu knew that Su Ning's reputation had improved a lot since the last public opinion storm, but there were still many people who were skeptical about him. However, he just wanted to mention it, no matter what others thought.
"Without him, I wouldn't be who I am today. He is irreplaceable and the most important person in my life."
This was a live broadcast. As Li Chu spoke, a live camera cut to Su Ning in the audience.
The public hasn't seen him for a while.
Ever since Su Ning said he wanted to quit the entertainment industry, he has been very well behaved and has never shown his face again.
The financial crisis of Guangying Entertainment itself did not attract much attention. At most, people in the circle would discuss it heatedly. In the eyes of the general public, the company has not gone bankrupt anyway, and some adjustments in company operations are common. They don’t understand anything else.
Now when Su Ning appeared as the official CEO of Guangying Entertainment, many people had not yet reacted, and the live broadcast barrage was suddenly filled up.
"Oh, is this person going back to inherit the family business?"
"What can I say? It was just a misunderstanding before. Stay away from scumbags and mistresses, and focus on your career."
"Former fan, I have to say, what an excellent face. Wow, why do I feel that it looks better than before?"
"Maybe it's because career makes people look radiant. Don't tell me, just looking at this face, I'm shamefully moved again."
"Well, since it's all a misunderstanding, it's no big deal for a face-hungry person to lick her face, prprprpr."
The comments were many times friendlier than those at the press conference. The four major successes of Ou Tu were enough to make the public much more tolerant of him.
There were even some excited Li Chu fans who came over to express their gratitude.
"Thank you for withdrawing!"
"Thank you for choosing our Xiao Chu!"
Li Chu's speech was longer, so he was of course the main camera. The picture of Su Ning was always placed in the second camera position.
This side shot was only aimed at Su Ning's position, but Shen Mingzheng was too close to him, so it was inevitable that some of it would be affected.
The live broadcast on the video platform is more flexible than that on TV stations. Several different camera positions can be shown in the form of different channels during the live broadcast. It is very comprehensive, and the barrage of images from different camera positions are also separate.
When the two of them appeared at the same time, the speed at which the comments from the second camera, which was originally not watched by many people, were scrolling by obviously faster.
“??? Who is this?”
“@偶图四, do you think we are outsiders? Don’t you want to let this kind of beauty debut together?”
"He's the boss, didn't you see where he's sitting?"
"Do all bosses look like this now?"
"Mr. Liang next to him said that it was not the case. These two were special cases. But I do know Su Ning. Who is this person?"
Shen Mingzheng indeed rarely shows up in public, but some people know him and shared some information in the comments, and someone who knows the situation even said a few more words.
"Don't ask what this person's name is. Can't you tell? They are a couple. Su Ning didn't just quit the entertainment circle to pursue his career. He quit the entertainment circle to get married. It's a business marriage."
"Business marriage? So there's no love involved?"
"That must be it. Didn't Su Ning's love-brain just get cured?"
"There's no love, but the looks are good, that's fine too, you two are very kind to my eyes."
However, this shot did not stay on Su Ning for too long. Everyone who saw this moment seemed to quickly accept the fact of this business marriage.
What's wrong with a business marriage? It's better than a troublemaker like Shen Huai.
Su Ning knew that the camera was filming him, so he waved over there and sat there in a more serious posture. He and Shen Mingzheng looked quite businesslike.
But after listening to Li Chu's heartfelt words of thanks and the camera moved away, Mr. Shen frowned and secretly held Su Ning's hand under the chair.
Su Ning asked him quietly: "What's wrong?"
"Su Ning, let's get married tomorrow," said Mr. Shen, who is very businesslike, and his words were very serious. "I'll ask Chen Tao to make an appointment tomorrow morning. He should know someone who knows someone."
He felt that he had to do it as soon as possible to avoid any more trouble.
The first time Su Ning refused was because he couldn't fully trust Shen Mingzheng, so he wanted to try to cooperate first; the second time he refused was because his own future was uncertain, so he decided to wait a little longer to be cautious.
This third time, there is no reason to refuse.
After all, everything was clear in front of the old man of the Shen family. Su Ning really needed the money and shares, and he was not so reassured if he kept them in Su Hongda's hands all the time.
Su Ning thought about it, then nodded seriously.
There are many shots here, and Shen Mingzheng cannot make any big movements. Su Ning looked at him and felt that this man seemed to be stunned for a moment, and his mind seemed to be blank for a moment.
Alas, isn't this the default?
Su Ning was still a little bit puzzled. After meeting Mr. Shen, the Shen family's issues were resolved and they talked it out. It was just that because the company was too busy recently and they had to discuss the operations of the debut group, they had no time.
So now Su Ning had only one question: "Will we be there in time tomorrow morning?"
"It's still in time!" He heard Shen Mingzheng's reply after he came to his senses. "It's definitely in time." Yan Shan paused.
On the stage, Li Chu and seven other people who had formed a group stood there, with colored paper falling on them. The name of the group appeared on the screen, Glory.
The meaning of "glory" fits the theme song of this season's episode 4, and it is also a beautiful blessing.
However, Shen Mingzheng just took a look at this time. He already knew about this, so his mind was full of other things.
——For example, why is the Civil Affairs Bureau closed at night?
Well, tomorrow isn't too late.
The previously agreed-upon group operations have not yet been fully handed over to Su Ning and Shen Mingzheng. The newly formed group will be accepting media interviews all night tonight. After resting at night, they will have several scheduled commercials to shoot in the next two days.
This was a task that the Orange Video platform had decided on long ago and it was also the highest priority. It had not been handed over to Su Ning and others so quickly.
After Li Chu came down from the stage, he wanted to look for Su Ning again, but he was too busy. He turned around and was dragged away by the program crew. The media were still waiting outside.
After his debut, he still had to pay back the money his family owed. After Li Chu became famous after participating in the replacement competition, his family situation was almost exposed. It was no secret that his family went bankrupt and he had to drop out of his studies abroad. It was also a fact that he had paid back all the 500,000 yuan given by Guangying Entertainment. Now the money for shooting the commercial is divided among seven people. It’s not a lot, but it’s an emergency. No matter what, this side has to be given priority.
But where did Su Ning go?
During the break in filming the commercial, Li Chu asked the people around him.
"Wait a little longer. You will see him a lot more often in the future. I heard that the operation of the group will be handed over to them in the future," the staff of the program group told him, "We have to let Mr. Su and his team prepare first."
So that's it.
Then Li Chu felt relieved.
