Chapter 32



On the morning of the second day after the new episode of "Who is the King of Singers" was broadcast, the production team of "Who is the King of Singers" and Ji Zehui's agent Xiao Jin contacted Hu Biao and invited Jie Yang to cooperate.

The attitudes of both parties were very polite and there was absolutely nothing to fault with.

Hu Biao was worried.

Xie Yang flipped through the two invitation letters in his hand and asked, "Why are you worried again?"

"Do you really not understand or are you pretending not to understand?"

Hu Biao pushed open his laptop and pointed at the screen. "Look at the public opinion online right now. Huang Tian asked people to send out press releases expressing their expectation for the collision between old and new singers, and the combination of powerful singers and popular newcomers. They also asked people to conduct an in-depth analysis of the compatibility of your voice and Ji Zehui's. The guest singer has obviously not been confirmed yet, but they made it seem like you have already agreed to go. Isn't this kidnapping you with public opinion?"

Hu Biao was getting angrier and angrier as he spoke: "If you don't go, then notices accusing you of being ungrateful, looking down on your seniors, and saying that you are stage-frightened and afraid to be embarrassed on those professional variety shows will definitely spread all over the Internet soon! If you go, you will have stepped half a foot into Ji Zehui's trap! What's the use of your singing skills? Song selection, lyrics distribution, program editing... There are so many places where he can make trouble! There are acquaintances of Ji Zehui in the production team of "Who is the King of Singers"!"

Xie Yang remained calm and said, "Why panic? We can have someone in the Who's the King of Singers program team."

Hu Biao was stunned for a moment, and then he raised his voice in shock: "We have someone? Who? Why don't I remember knowing anyone from this production team?"

Xie Yang was amused by Hu Biao's expression. He took his laptop, opened the company's official mailbox, pointed to the letters of cooperation that were sent to him every day, and said, "Him."

Hu Biao looked over and saw the three words "Longshu You". He remembered that after the performance, Longshuyu specially ran backstage to invite Jie Yang to work with him. He was stunned for a moment, and then his eyes lit up.

Wait, if he remembered correctly, the show "Who is the King of Singers" seemed to be produced by the Long family!

Xie Yang accepted the invitation from the "Who is the King of Singers" program team and Ji Zehui through Hu Biao, and then posted a very official Weibo post thanking the "Who is the King of Singers" program team for giving him the opportunity and thanking Ji Zehui for his appreciation.

The number of his Weibo followers has already exceeded five million, and because they are all new fans, the fan activity is very high. As soon as this Weibo post was released, the number of comments skyrocketed. The naive fans were extremely happy and celebrated that Jie Yang could appear on a variety show of the standard "Who is the King of Singers". Smarter fans secretly sent private messages to Jie Yang, asking him to be careful and not to be framed by bad guys.

Xie Yang picked out a few comments to reply to, and when he refreshed the page, he found that Ji Zehui had retweeted his Weibo post, and in a very official manner, he showed a cordial and encouraging attitude towards newcomers.

After the business mutual praise process was completed, Xie Yang went to check the "objective review" article again and found that the comment section under the article had become lively. The top three popular comments were all occupied by "fans" who used his photos as avatars and praised him desperately. These "fans" were sharp in their words. While praising him, they also secretly criticized a number of talented singers including Ji Zehui. Their strong fighting spirit aroused the dissatisfaction of most passers-by, and the two sides quarreled fiercely in the building.

Some passers-by were so angry that they directed their anger at him, saying things like "How can a newly popular traffic star like Jie Yang be compared with Ji Zehui?" "Ji Zehui is a two-time Golden Melody Award winner. He was kind enough to help you get on the show and give you a hand, but you guys are secretly stepping on this kind-hearted senior. Do you have any shame?" "Ji Zehui really helped an ungrateful person!"

From time to time, among these comments, there would be a comment from Ji Zehui's fans to comfort passers-by, saying that Jie Yang is young and his fans must be young too, so people should not argue with children, and that it is natural for seniors to help juniors, which invisibly helped Ji Zehui gain favor.

And the comments of those real fans of his and his rational fans were all squeezed out somewhere. However, some fans who were simply led by the rhythm began to join the quarrel with passers-by with real emotions.

A fierce battle is about to begin. It is conceivable that if this quarrel continues to escalate, it won’t be long before he and his fans will be stamped with all kinds of smelly medals and become synonymous with “brain-dead”.

Xie Yang wanted to applaud Ji Zehui. This black belt is so skilled in the operation of rhythm, he is worthy of being sent from heaven.

He directly forwarded the top three comments, with the caption: Excellent at provoking fights, black fans are lucky to have you.

Then he reposted a message from a fan of Ji Zehui that helped explain, with the caption: Senior Ji Zehui is very lucky to have you, you are excellent fans and role models. In addition, it is not natural for seniors to help juniors. If seniors are willing to help juniors, it means they have good character.

Finally, I would like to repost a comment from a rational fan who said that he would not praise Jie Yang's singing skills, thanked Ji Zehui for his appreciation, and hoped that Jie Yang could learn from Ji Zehui and work hard to improve. The fan community is lucky to have you, I will definitely work hard.

Then he closed his Weibo account and continued to handle official business.

A few minutes later, Hu Biao rushed to the office with his phone in hand. After knocking on the door and entering the room, he was so anxious that he could hardly speak clearly. He said, "What did you post... Do you know that those few forwarded posts of yours have become popular? #解扬对球迷# has become a hot search!"

"It's pretty fast." After Xie Yang finished signing one document, he went to the next one without even looking up. "It's just fan-washing. No matter if those who stir up trouble are real fans or fake fans, I don't need such fans."

Hu Biao really couldn't be angry or not be angry.

Judging from the outcome of the incident, Xie Yang's action of forwarding these comments was definitely beneficial to them. This way you can make your position clear directly and avoid being exploited by others in the future. But judging by the impact it has had so far...

Hu Biao felt a headache: "I was going to create a persona for you that is hard-working, polite, reliable and motivated, but you are so annoying... At least you should censor them and don't just forward them directly!"

Xie Yang finally looked up at Hu Biao and said, "Brother Biao, I'm not a newcomer who has to be careful in the entertainment industry. I'm the boss of Yang Bank. It's not necessary for me to be careful about my image. I don't need a persona. I am who I am. I can't be someone else."

Hu Biao was stunned. He looked at Jie Yang's calm and capable appearance as he sat behind his desk. His anxious brain gradually calmed down. He suddenly let out a long breath and rubbed his forehead: "I was thinking too much... Then you go ahead. Remember to say hello to me before you do anything big in the future."

Xie Yang nodded.

Hu Biao left, and Xie Yang leaned back in his chair, lost in thought.

In fact, Hu Biao's personality is not suitable for being an agent, a job that requires dealing with many emergencies and managing personal connections. He is more suitable for the artist training department. However, Hu Biao has a deep relationship with Tong Jian and Ke Lan, and he may not be willing to leave Tong Jian and Ke Lan and retreat to the company.

If you have a chance, talk to Hu Biao alone.

Xie Yang sat up straight and picked up the next document.

That afternoon, the "Who is the King of Singers" program team sent staff to Yangxing to contact Hu Biao for cooperation.

After the two parties signed the cooperation contract, the staff handed the program recording process to Hu Biao and said, "This episode of helping to sing is quite special. It will start from when Teacher Jie goes out, and continue until Teacher Jie and Teacher Ji meet up. The two will select songs together and arrange the songs together... Because the program team gives the guests three days to select and arrange the songs, this kind of follow-up shooting will last for three days. The scenes of going out will only be shot on the first day. Teacher Jie, where do you think it is more appropriate to start shooting? At home, or somewhere else?"

Without waiting for Hu Biao to respond, Xie Yang replied, "Let's shoot from Yangxing. I want to use the popularity of your show to promote my company."

The staff member was amused by Xie Yang's words, and responded that he understood. Then he agreed on a time for the photo shoot and said goodbye and left.

Hu Biao had almost recovered by now. After the staff left, he immediately slumped down on the sofa and said, "Fortunately, you are smart and knew to let the program crew start filming from Yangxing instead of your home. Many artists are careless and reveal their home addresses when recording the program, and are harassed by private fans and paparazzi. And there is a pitfall here. You and Ji Zehui both started filming from the departure point. His side will definitely make it very grand and elegant. If your side is poor and down-to-earth, then when the program is broadcast, your image will easily be labeled as rustic. Once an artist has something to do with the word rustic, it is basically goodbye to fashion resources."

He laughed again as he spoke: "But God probably didn't expect that the Yangxing office building was in such a good place. Did you notice that the staff member was stunned when he came over? He probably thought that Yangxing only occupied a small area in the building. He was so nice later, calling you teacher all the time, wow."

Xie Yang was not as complicated as Hu Biao thought. The reason why he decided to start filming from Yangxing was simply because he felt that Jinghe Garden was not suitable for filming and he wanted to promote Yangxing at the same time. He patted Hu Biao on the shoulder and said, "Don't sit there. The filming will start tomorrow. Let the cleaning department do a thorough cleaning of the company today. The free publicity opportunity cannot be wasted."

At dinner that night, Qiu Xing suddenly asked, "Are you going to record a show?"

Xie Yang nodded.

Qiu Xing said grimly: “If you show that stupid look from the last show again…” He didn’t finish his words, but they were full of threats.

Xie Yang paused for a moment, then looked up at Qiu Xing: "Have you seen the show I recorded last time?"

"..." Qiu Xing looked away and took a sip of water. "I glanced at Zhou Miao when he was looking at me."

Xie Yang smiled and said nothing.

Qiu Xing frowned: "What are you laughing at."

"The food today is delicious." Xie Yang put down his chopsticks and served a bowl of soup to Qiu Xing. "Drink the soup, it's good for your stomach."

Qiu Xing drank the soup reluctantly, then stood up to leave. He took two steps and then turned back and said, "Dress nicer when you record the show. You wear the same clothes every day. People would think my enemy is abusing you." After saying that, he strode away.

Xie Yang looked down at the comfortable and sturdy clothes he was wearing, which he had bought from a clothing chain store known for its value for money. He raised an eyebrow, and he heard but did not remember what Qiu Xing said.
