Chapter 429 Drifting to the North (5K)
"The Voice of China", organized by Chongshan Provincial TV Station and planned by Zeng Wenjie, is undoubtedly the most popular music variety show in 2007.
Not only is the program excellent enough, but the memes carefully planned by Zeng Wenjie are also a major factor in making the program so popular.
Therefore, after the blind auditions, which the audience had almost grown tired of watching, ended and the semi-finals began, it naturally attracted a large number of viewers to watch in front of the TV at a fixed time and place.
Qin Yixuan, Yan Xinyi and their colleagues from the General Administration were waiting in front of the TV for "The Voice of China" to start.
Yan Xinyi said, "The actress who plays Guo Xiang is quite good, but I didn't expect Zeng Wenjie to dare to use her as the brand spokesperson for Marennia."
Qin Yixuan nodded and said, "Indeed, Marennia is now quite famous. She has a place in both the gold jewelry industry and the women's fashion product industry."
Yan Xinyi smiled and said, "Positioning ourselves in the affordable luxury segment is a really great idea. We can instantly attract a large number of customers. For example, for us, our work doesn't allow us to wear top-tier luxury goods, but with affordable luxury, that's fine, and it can also show off our style."
Qin Yixuan pulled her collar feeling a little guilty. She was wearing a Van Cleef & Arpels four-leaf clover worth 21,000 yuan given by Zeng Wenjie.
"However, I am very optimistic about the actress who plays Guo Xiang. Her acting skills are top-notch, she is a professional actor, and she has a nice face and figure. This time she appeared on "The Voice of China" and won her a lot of fans. If she can take on two more good dramas, she may become a top star." Yan Xinyi said.
Qin Yixuan disagreed after hearing this. She felt that although Xiao Mi Mi was not particularly good-looking, her figure was indeed top-notch.
Several colleagues from the General Administration were also discussing:
"This Zeng Wenjie is truly a genius. He's so young and he's already designed such an amazing program. I just wonder what kind of show he's going to follow up with. Otherwise, Chongshan TV's ratings will plummet again!"
"Yeah, one show can't save the entire TV station. If there are no good shows to follow up, it will crash."
"If Chongshan TV wants to maintain its ratings, it must have a good variety show to follow up with, and then it also needs to acquire the copyrights for good TV dramas... Well, if it can have a large-scale hit variety show like Tingnan TV, then it's a no-brainer."
The show has begun, and the host introduces the contestants and the songs they will sing.
"Zeng Wenjie writes the lyrics and composes the music by himself? Does he have this ability?!" Yan Xinyi said in surprise.
"It's very likely that this was deliberately packaged, and the lyrics and music were written by someone else." Someone said on the side.
Qin Yixuan was dissatisfied after hearing this and shook his head, saying, "Zeng Wenjie is still very talented. With his current status and identity, he will definitely not hire a ghostwriter, otherwise his image will collapse."
Hey, after hearing what she said, Mrs. Feng wanted to give her a thumbs up.
"'Floating North'? Very interesting..."
Yan Xinyi looked at the song title, lost in thought.
As the prelude of the music sounded, Yi Jiacheng began to hum, and she felt her ears were immediately caught.
"I have to say, Yi Jiacheng's voice is really ethereal. I think he is at least a top four player!" Yan Xinyi said.
Then, the rhythm exploded, and Zeng Wenjie's rap smoothly took over Yi Jiacheng's voice.
Dazzling lights suddenly lit up on the stage, followed by gas gushing out and flames flickering. The audience was already excited when they heard the first verse of the lyrics, and they all started shouting.
The leader beside him couldn't help but sigh, "The stage design is also first-class. I heard that it was also planned by Zeng Wenjie. I wonder where he learned it from!"
Yan Xinyi looked at the lyrics scrolling on the screen and was a little shocked!
Then, she couldn't help but recall the days when she studied hard in Yanjing following the lyrics.
During her four years in college, she really never slacked off at all, giving her all every moment, for fear of letting her parents down.
Therefore, this song touched her deeply, and her eyes became a little moist.
"I picked up the phone and told my mom I was fine. I returned to reality and continued to make ends meet..."
This line of lyrics touched her heart, and she remembered the time when she called her mother and told her that everything was fine.
At this time, no one was discussing the show or the stage anymore, but everyone was attracted by the lyrics of the song and the explosive live performance.
After listening to the song, Yan Xinyi couldn't help but take a deep breath and said, "It's too strong... I need to slow down!"
Even Qin Yixuan felt a little touched. Although she had not been in Yanjing for long, she had lived a rather depressed life, so she realized the difficulties of drifting in Beijing.
Many people in the General Administration are not native to Yanjing. After listening to this rap about drifting to Beijing, they all felt a little scalp-tingling and were moved.
Then, Yan Xinyi went to the balcony outside to call Zeng Wenjie.
After the call was connected, Yan Xinyi couldn't help but laugh and said, "Wenjie, this song 'Floating to the North' is so beautiful. How did you come up with the lyrics?"
Zeng Wenjie said: "I've watched a lot of TV and news about people who drifted to Beijing, and I have some feelings about it."
Yan Xinyi sighed, "It was written so well, and you sang so powerfully, it was so inspiring. It's just a pity that you were eliminated!"
Zeng Wenjie smiled and said, "Sister Yan, don't feel sorry. I'm only at this level. Eliminating me is actually a relief for me!"
Yan Xinyi said, "Are you back? If so, let's have dinner together! I've almost got your interview."
Zeng Wenjie said: "I will contact you when I have time!"
Yan Xinyi said, "Okay! Um... your song 'Floating to the North' really touched me. I'm planning to write a press release and send it out later. I hope it can bring more attention to your show."
"Oh, Sister Yan, you are so polite. I will treat you to a big meal later. Please don't be polite to me! Thank you!" Zeng Wenjie said.
Yan Xinyi is quite famous in the news industry. After all, she became a host at a young age, has excellent qualities, and has outstanding looks, so she has a lot of followers.
After Yan Xinyi hung up the phone, she said to her colleagues, "You guys continue watching the show. I'm going to write an article about this song and post it as soon as possible! If it's as I expected, this song should cause quite a stir, especially among those who have moved to Beijing. They'll be paying special attention!"
"Yan Zi, you have a sharp mind and your news intuition is stronger than that of ordinary people. Go ahead." The leader smiled and said.
Yan Xinyi immediately returned to her room.
Qin Yixuan was a little envious. Although she also had the same feelings, she had not reached the level of inspiration that Yan Xinyi had, and was unable to write high-quality articles.
Forcing yourself to write will not have any effect, and you may even get criticized.
But Yan Xinyi is different. She has top-notch writing skills. Not only is she a first-class host of programs, but she also writes articles with witty remarks that make people applaud.
By the time the show was over, Yan Xinyi had also finished writing, and music platforms such as Penguin Music had synchronized the songs from today's "The Voice of China".
Music copyright income is also a big part of the program.
As expected, "Floating to the North" topped the music software charts on major platforms at the fastest speed.
Yan Xinyi sent out the manuscript while playing music, and it will be published after review.
There is no doubt that this episode of "The Voice of China" will undoubtedly become a hot topic. After all, Zeng Wenjie and Yi Jiacheng sang this song together, and in terms of performance effect, his was the best.
However, he was the one who was eliminated!
This will cause the audience to question and feel dissatisfied, and at the same time, it will also break the rumors on the Internet that Zeng Wenjie is involved in shady dealings.
However, the haters still have to criticize him. One can say that Zeng Wenjie was afraid of exposing the shady dealings, so he deliberately allowed himself to be eliminated. Otherwise, he would have performed better, so why was he eliminated?
Qin Yixuan also returned to his room and sent a message to Zeng Wenjie on QQ, comforting him not to be sad about being eliminated.
However, Zeng Wenjie's response to her messages was never very fast.
This made Qin Yixuan a little dissatisfied, because when she chatted with any boy, the other party would reply almost immediately, but Zeng Wenjie was the only one who didn't respond for a long time, and sometimes he didn't even reply!
Coincidentally, at this time, Qin Yixuan received a message from Yuan Xiuqin.
"Our boss was eliminated. I'm going to organize a party tomorrow so that we can all comfort him together. Do you want to come?" Yuan Xiuqin asked.
"I will definitely come!" Qin Yixuan replied.
She couldn't help but sneer in her heart, "You bastard Yuan Xiuqin, you still want to make her angry?"
I just wonder if this big-breasted, brainless woman would be sad if she knew that Qin Yixuan had already taken the lead? What kind of wonderful expression would she show!
Thinking of this, Qin Yixuan was a little excited.
But the thought was fleeting.
Her desire for fame, fortune and a bright future was like a bucket of cold water poured over her head, instantly calming her down.
The relationship between me and Zeng Wenjie can only be secret, silent, and cannot be known to others...
Otherwise, it will affect your future!
Because, who doesn't know that Zeng Wenjie and Mu Qingyang are truly boyfriend and girlfriend?!
Zeng Wenjie was busy in front of the computer, replying to messages from all parties.
His elimination had a pretty big impact?
"Wenjie is amazing! He's already number one on every music platform's charts!"
Qin Yixuan also opened the music software to listen to music, and then felt very happy. She felt that it was not a loss to give it to such a man.
Yi Jiacheng also watched this show.
Then, he also discovered that "Floating to the North" topped the list of various music softwares!
"I'm going to be famous?!"
“I’m going to be famous!!!”
He was so excited that he almost flipped the table.
It is such an honor for a song to top the entire online music platform!
That is, he was somewhat dissatisfied with the singers’ names at the end of the song: Zeng Wenjie and Yi Jiacheng.
Why should Zeng Wenjie be ahead of him?
But he was more happy in his heart. At the same time, he admired Zeng Wenjie's ability. He said that this song would be a hit, and it really was a hit!
If I had really insisted on refusing to sing with Zeng Wenjie, what kind of opportunity would I have missed?
Fortunately, he was glad that he chose to cooperate obediently under the intimidation of the black-hearted capitalists and performed well, which is why he was awarded such an honor.
Shi Hao and Yao Tao applauded when they saw Zeng Wenjie being eliminated.
But after the show aired, the song topped the list on all platforms, and their faces became ugly again...
"Damn, he was eliminated, but his song is still so popular. It's disgusting!" Shi Hao couldn't help but comment.
Immediately afterwards, he received a call from the school leader in charge of the Student Union.
Shi Hao quickly answered the call and greeted politely. He still had to be the student union president for another semester, so he still had to maintain good relationships with the teachers.
"Shi Hao, Zeng Wenjie has an exclusive interview with the General Administration and he wants you to participate as a special guest. What are your intentions?" the leader asked.
"Huh?!" Shi Hao was confused after hearing this. He didn't understand what it meant.
"This is a rare opportunity. After the interview is broadcast, you will be able to appear in front of the national audience! Are you willing? Give me an answer." The leader said slowly.
Shi Hao hurriedly asked, "Zeng Wenjie invited me to be a guest in his interview?!"
The leader said, "You are the president of the student union, and one of the representatives of Fengyuan."
After hearing this, Shi Hao took a deep breath and said, "Of course I am willing."
After hanging up the phone, Shi Hao was excited. Holy crap, I'm going to be on CCTV, showing my face in front of the whole country?!
There is no young man who doesn't like to show off. After all, Shi Hao is only twenty-one years old. How could he miss this opportunity?
But then he thought about how he had to cooperate with the host on stage to say good things about Zeng Wenjie, and the corners of his mouth twitched suddenly, and he felt very nauseous.
But then I thought again, Zeng Wenjie had invited me as a guest, regardless of past grudges. What a vision, what a heart, what a generosity!
In an instant, Shi Hao felt that he was a little incompetent as the president of the student union, even a little petty and lacking in vision!
Just at this moment, Shi Hao received another call from Yao Tao.
"President, have you watched the show? That bastard Zeng Wenjie was eliminated. Hahahaha, it's so cool. This is the most exciting show of the year I have ever seen." Yao Tao laughed.
"Tsk, why are you so happy when your classmate was eliminated? Comrade Yao Tao!" Shi Hao responded in a condescending manner.
Yao Tao was stunned and asked, "Council President, are you unhappy?"
Shi Hao said, "As the president of the student union, I have the entire Feng Academy in my heart! Zeng Wenjie, as the only contestant representing our Feng Academy, represents the honor of our Feng Academy. Why should I be happy that he was eliminated? But you, your thinking is very abnormal, very wrong!"
Yao Tao was completely confused. What the hell was going on? Shi Hao actually started saying good things about Zeng Wenjie and even criticized him?
Shi Hao said coldly, "Don't say anything that is detrimental to unity, and don't do anything that is detrimental to unity. Otherwise, I won't let you go."
After hanging up the phone, Yao Tao couldn't help but curse.
Then, he felt a dull pain in his broken leg caused by Shi Hao's anger.
Fu Qianzhu also received an invitation from Zeng Wenjie. Her first thought was to refuse because she felt scared, especially afraid that her family affairs would be exposed after she appeared on the show.
"Let those idiots see that you live a better life than them," said Zeng Wenjie.
Fu Qianzhu was silent for a long time and finally agreed.
There were three other guests, namely Principal Gao, Zheng Shouyun, and Qin Yixuan who received the news last.
Qin Yixuan was sitting in front of the computer waiting for Zeng Wenjie's reply. He was originally dissatisfied, but unexpectedly he got a surprise!
"Thank you Wenjie, love you~ (kiss)"
Qin Yixuan sent this message in ecstasy.
"After the party tomorrow, I'll wait for you at the old place. (Smirk)"
Zeng Wenjie's reply made Qin Yixuan blush.
Of course she knew where the "old place" was.
Although it was called the "old place", she had actually only been there once. However, thinking about the benefits she had gained this time and the precedent, she would no longer be as conflicted as before.
"Hmm..." Qin Yixuan only dared to reply like this, and then hurriedly logged off.
She was also a little afraid that she would make mistakes if she spoke too much, and even more afraid that she would seem cheap if she sent messages too frequently.
Girls who are more scheming always have this mentality. If they were more pure, they would not have so many troubles.
After Zeng Wenjie finalized the five special guests, he felt relieved. After the interview, Fengzhou Business Alliance will be officially announced. During the interview, he will talk about some of the situations of Fengzhou Business Alliance.
Early the next morning, the article Yan Xinyi published last night had already become popular and was reprinted and quoted by major media outlets.
Qin Yixuan read the entire article with a bit of envy. She felt that she could not write something of this level, and she felt a little depressed in her heart. But fortunately, Zeng Wenjie's existence could help her bridge some of the gaps between herself and these top geniuses.
After fermenting overnight, the popularity of "Floating to the North" skyrocketed;
The topic of "The Voice of China" has also been blown up;
This also led to benefits for everything related to the program, making it a win-win situation for everyone.
Yi Jiacheng also received many interview requests. Reporters wanted to know why Zeng Wenjie was eliminated through him, and also asked him how he felt about eliminating Zeng Wenjie...
Now, Zeng Wenjie is a very popular figure!
Zeng Wenjie also received greetings from DL founder Mr. Yu, who said he had also watched the show and was surprised by Zeng Wenjie's versatility. He also said that the singing was wonderful and the lyrics were deeply touching.
Even Ye Yixiuan took time out of her busy schedule to call Zeng Wenjie.
By the way, Zeng Wenjie, with the help of Ye Yixuan, has recruited a lot of talents, and the team has been initially established.
"Sister Xuan, I'll find some time to come to Guzhou County to have a drink with you and thank you for your care." Zeng Wenjie said.
"No need. I'll be back in Fengzhou soon to take care of some work. We can drink then." Ye Yixuan said with a smile, "I know you're a very busy person right now. How could I dare ask Mr. Zeng to make such a special trip?"
Zeng Wenjie hurriedly said, "Oh, my sister Xuan, please don't torture me like this!"
Ye Yixuan said, "Let's meet and talk. I'm going to be busy."
It's been a while since I last saw this cool and elegant lady, and Zeng Wenjie misses her quite a bit.
Who wouldn't like a queen who is cold to others but warm to herself?
