Chapter 19



Shengquan once again confirmed the ranking of Jinjiu.

It is indeed 79.

Sheng Quan was impressed by the number [79] because of a plot in the book where Jin Jiu, after successfully learning to sing beautiful songs with a hoarse voice, participated in various programs, big and small, to overcome his fear of singing on stage.

As I mentioned before, the entertainment circle of "Starlight" is very competitive. Someone like Yan Hui would definitely be ranked in the top five in terms of appearance in her previous life, but here she is just above average.

Not only the artists are competitive, but also the major companies and directors behind the scenes are very competitive. Under such basic conditions, various talent shows are emerging one after another.

There are many large ones and even more small ones, with all kinds of things, such as selecting the best appearance, the best singing voice, the most beautiful dance, the best acting skills, and even martial arts students are selected.

Jin Jiu changed his singing style and practiced for seven years. At the age of 23, he signed up for a singing talent show produced by a satellite TV station that was about to go cold. The ordinary paid voting session was replaced by "every vote cast by the audience will be donated to charity."

This charity is real. It has been fully transparent since its establishment, ensuring that every penny goes where it belongs.

With this operation, the small program that was originally ignored attracted a small wave of attention, which can be regarded as a good result achieved at a low cost.

It is impossible for Jinjiu to break away from the shadow and shine...

When it was his turn to go on stage, he still couldn't sing a word and was eliminated just one minute after he went on stage. However, the book describes that he was not very disappointed. Instead, after he left the stage, he cast 790 votes for a contestant who he thought sang very well.

One vote costs one dollar, and 790 yuan is almost a month's living expenses for Jin Jiu. After he voted, he said to himself that this trip was not in vain, and it would be much more worthwhile to use this 790 yuan on others than on himself.

This plot played a big role in the fact that Sheng Quan would advance Jin Jiu from "an ordinary paper man who likes paper people" to "a very fond paper man".

After Jin Jiu committed suicide by cutting his wrists, Sheng Quan didn't even want to read the previous text, but some other readers gathered together to study his mental journey.

She glanced at the group and heard that Jin Jiu was in a stage of inferiority in the ten years after his voice was destroyed. If someone was willing to help him at this time, he would have a great chance of overcoming his psychological barriers.

In the ten years in between, hope gradually became invisible, but we still held out a glimmer of hope and continued to move forward.

In the last ten years, decades of fatigue and physical decline had already made Jin Jiu numb. During that period, he must have suffered from depression and was deeply tortured by illness. While he was struggling to support himself, his parents passed away, and going on stage to sing became his last obsession.

After fulfilling my obsession, I suddenly received a lot of love, as sudden and passionate as it was back then.

How could this not make him feel scared and terrified?

And now, although Jinjiu's voice will never recover and the damage he suffered will always be there, he is indeed in the most hopeful third of his thirty years.

This situation is probably somewhat similar to Wanbao's early cancer.

A terminal illness will lead to death, but if it is discovered early, there is still hope.

Sheng Quan searched for news about Jinjiu, and sure enough, all of it was negative, mostly criticizing him for his "terrible singing" and "scammer in the music industry."

The time before that was all boasting, the voice kissed by an angel, the healing voice that could make people feel full of emotions.

The entertainment industry has always been like this: those you love want them to live, and those you hate want them to die.

When they praise someone, they want to praise them to the sky; when they criticize someone, they are ruthless and even exaggerate.

There is basically no evidence of Jin Jiu's singing before his voice was ruined. He hadn't even had time to release an album at that time. Most of the recordings are videos or audios. But perhaps at the instruction of the original company, or perhaps because seven years had passed, Sheng Quan searched around and only found one or two videos.

When she read the novel, she was curious about what the voice that was so highly praised sounded like. After listening carefully, she found that the flattering reports were true.

Even though the sound was obviously distorted and the picture was blurry, she was still overwhelmed by the beautiful singing.

The sixteen-year-old Jin Jiu is full of spirit and can bring out the best of his good voice just by relying on his talent. The rich emotions flowing in his singing can be easily felt by those who hear it, pulling them into the world brought by this song.

The flawed recording is like this, it’s hard to imagine how comfortable it would be to listen to it live.

And Jin Jiu in the novel was able to reshape another "Voice of God" with his ruined voice through thirty years of hard work. If he had not committed suicide, he would have definitely had better development on the international stage. It's such a pity that after all the hard work, he was just one step away.

Whenever Sheng Quan thought of this, he would sigh. As he sighed, he suddenly remembered that he had come in through the door, and he immediately stopped sighing.

She took a look at the 100 million yuan in the system funds and had a good idea.

**** The fan group of "The Road of Life" is still chatting as usual.

Just as we were chatting animatedly, a new message popped up.

[Like, when will this show be broadcast? ]

Most people didn't react, but a few were shocked: Winning is in the bag! Rich book fan! Huaxing OP! After confirming that it wasn't someone impersonating with a different nickname, the group became lively.

【Ahhhhh, Miss, you are back!!!】

[Hello rich lady, are you in need of a leg pendant? The kind that went to college and can go to the toilet by themselves]

【Rub, rub, rub like crazy!!】

[I rushed over on a motorcycle to watch! Is this really the poster? ! ]

[Wow, boss, you actually came back. I thought you abandoned your account! ]

When the group was frantically sending messages, many people immediately and excitedly shared with their relatives and friends:

[Winning Victory appears! She appears again! 】

[Jimei! I am going to witness a famous historical scene! ]

[She actually stayed in the group and didn’t abandon her account. Wow, it feels really good to be in the same group with the OP. Please call me a top gossip expert in the future.]

Just when the group became ten times more lively, the girl who was replied to also saw the message and was flattered. She quickly replied: [It seems to be broadcast tomorrow, and the pre-vote is today. I don’t know the details. I helped my classmate to get votes because she participated. ]

In fact, her classmate just went there to join in the fun. After all, no matter how small a satellite TV station is, it is still a TV station. It is quite novel to be on TV. She also found it novel, so she volunteered to help canvass for votes.

As a result, now, before many tickets were sold, the man who invested 10 million yuan in the crew was brought in.

This is a celebrity! At least on various platforms, there are already many videos about [How rich people chase novels], [How ridiculous are the reasons why rich people buy a building], etc.

Sheng Quan has not made her debut, but her account, which has never posted a single Weibo post since it was opened, now has more fans than many second-tier stars.

Insiders know that there are no big companies or big stars on the list, and naturally there will be no big directors or screenwriters. They have no cooperative relationship with Sheng Quan, so naturally they will not take the initiative to pay attention to it.

The ones on the list are basically third-tier or below, and even if they have works, they are short-lived.

But marketing accounts don’t care about this.

They always do what is popular. Instead of telling the truth that "those who pay attention to Mr. Sheng are small companies and small people who are short of money and status", they prefer to pick out the tallest among the short ones, first make a densely packed list, and then take out the people or companies on the list that are barely acceptable and brag about them.

For example, if a third-tier actor appeared in three shots in a TV series that performed well, people would brag that he had starred in a hit TV series; if a director once made a movie with a big investment but which only made a little profit, people would brag that the box office revenue was over 100 million; if a company is small, people would brag that it is an old company that has been stationed in the entertainment industry for more than ten years.

Anyway, just praise these people first, and then say "People like this take the initiative to pay attention to Sheng Quan, which shows how strong the capital force behind her is", blah blah.

He continued to hype up this video account and the next one, and now it has become a certainty that Sheng Quan is a super-rich man, and it couldn’t be more real.

Even though she didn't appear for long, was very cool and didn't even follow anyone, and never posted on Weibo, everyone was willing to follow her movements with the mentality of "watching the rich up close."

But no matter what, when she suddenly appeared in person, everyone's first reaction was "Is this true?"

Sheng Quan did not reply to the crazy messages (mainly because he could not reply to them all), but directly searched the girl through the group message and replied to her message, continuing to reply: [Looks good, I like it for your classmate! ]

[I'm a little interested, where can I buy tickets? I searched but didn't see any entrance for selling tickets.]

Before the girl could answer, an enthusiastic group member immediately explained: [How could anyone buy tickets for such a small production? The audience are all the contestants’ relatives and friends.]

[Yes, yes, yes, I have been a relative or friend, and if there are not enough relatives or friends in the audience of some programs, the production team will pay people to play the role of the audience]

[This seems to be from Strawberry TV, right? ]

[Damn it, the rich lady sister told me to go and take a look, and I realized that this talent show is incredible. The live broadcast time is 1 a.m. Who would hold a talent show at this time?]

[They have no money. You can tell from their layout. They are on a TV station with such a poor Strawberry program and at such a poor live broadcast time. They are completely poor.]

Sheng Quan continued typing: [Ah~ It’s already 1am in the morning, what a pity, I need to go to bed early]

[I was originally planning to go and see it in person, but forget it, skin is more important]

She chatted with her group members for a while, and only left the group when she was having a great time. Then she turned around and called the marketing team.

"There are already screenshots online. Just magnify this a little bit. It doesn't have to be too big. There will be other work to do later."

After the marketing team accepted the task and started working, she called Mr. Wang again and asked him if he knew anyone from Strawberry TV.

Mr. Wang has been in the circle for many years. Not to mention Strawberry TV, he has several friends even in those top-ranked TVs. Of course, I don’t know whether his friends have a say in the circle.

Sheng Quan asked him something, so naturally he wanted to know something.

Sheng Quan said lightly: "It's nothing, they just have a show that I'm quite interested in, and I want to ask you for a ticket."

Is it necessary to ask him for a ticket for such a small matter? But if Sheng Quan asked him to be the matchmaker, he would be crazy not to agree. He immediately said, "Don't worry, I will definitely be able to do it," and then called Strawberry TV.

Author (Duluo Pavilion) PS If you like novels, please visit: TUOLUOG.COM His friend at Strawberry TV is a high-ranking deputy director. When he heard that Mr. Wang was asking him for tickets, he agreed immediately. He was also surprised: "The team of this program is lousy. Our station doesn't pay much attention to it. Who are you asking for this?"

Even if he didn't ask Mr. Wang, he would have said that Sheng Quan could have asked anyone to get the tickets, but he still went to him. Wasn't it just because he wanted him to mention it to his friends at Strawberry TV?

As soon as he mentioned Sheng Quan's name, the deputy director's expression changed a little: "Is he the one who has been very popular recently?"

Big satellite TV stations may not care too much about Sheng Quan. After all, Sheng Quan’s wealth has nothing to do with them. But it is different for small satellite TV stations like theirs that are in danger.

Mr. Wang immediately praised Sheng Quan, and of course also boasted about how friendly his relationship with Sheng Quan was. Sheng Quan even gave him a floor at a discounted price.

Finally, he concluded, "Maybe Director Sheng is still young and likes to watch this kind of show that young people like to watch. She came to me for help, so you have to give me some face and give our Director Sheng the best position."

The deputy director was more than happy to accept the offer.

After the call was hung up, he thought about it and felt that such a big client could not be let go, so he took out his mobile phone and searched the name of the fake talent show and Sheng Quan's name, and sure enough, he found the topic.

He sat there quietly, looking at the screenshots on his phone and lost in thought.

A few minutes later, he switched to the contact and made a call: "Director, it's me..."

That night, #Sheng Quan said it was too late, [The Song With You] was released five hours earlier# became a hot topic.

A screenshot of the official blog of Strawberry TV was also attached below, and the staff directly stated: [If Mr. Sheng feels that 8pm is still too late, we can continue to advance it]

Sheng Quan looked at the rising trending searches and said to Gu Zhao, who no longer needed an IV drip and could work with both hands, "Strawberry TV is really good at seizing opportunities."

Gu Zhao was not surprised: "If they don't fight hard, they will really fall."

Sheng Quan: "I guessed that they would cooperate with me, but I didn't expect that they would cooperate so thoroughly and would rather sacrifice themselves to be a supporting role for me. They are really smart people."

"Since we have cooperated, of course we have to cooperate more thoroughly. Now, even if you say that you like someone in the studio, they will immediately put that person in a box, tie a ribbon around it, and send it to you beautifully."

Gu Zhao still spoke in that robotic AI tone, calmly saying something quite outrageous:

"Of course, if you have such an idea, I will help you realize it."

Sheng Quan choked, wondering if everyone in this industry has this problem, Yu Xiangwan is like this, Gu Zhao is like this too. She even suspected that based on the nature of these two people, if she said she liked them, they would be the ones to pack the boxes and tie the ribbons.

Gu Zhao might not be sure, but Yu Xiangwan was sure. That guy might even tie a bow on the box in a ceremonial way.

Fortunately, she has a strong will, otherwise she would have fallen.

Director Sheng calmed himself down, stood up and stretched: "I'm going to watch the talent show tomorrow. I'll leave the company to you."

"Everyone says I'm generous, it's time I show them how generous I am."
