I started to become more self-disciplined at the age of 30

Chapter 217 216. Ask Jiang Chen to come out and save the Chinese music scene? Short story!

After Jiang Chen finished his meal, he did some exercise in the attic and then lay down for a nap.

Han Qing cleaned up the dishes and went to the front yard and told Yan Ruyu about Jiang Chen's answer.

"Sichuan University can handle the two works by itself. Jiang Chen said that they were given to Sichuan University. Even if Sichuan University gave them away, it has nothing to do with him! As for the performance at CCTV Spring Festival Gala, Jiang Chen said that he can go there at most half a month in advance, and he has to go to bed at 10 o'clock every day, so the performance time must be around 9 o'clock."

Han Qing said while eating.

Several people waited for Jiang Chen to finish eating before eating together.

Yan Ruyu didn't know whether to laugh or cry after hearing this: "For the CCTV Spring Festival Gala, can't we work hard for a bit?"

Han Qing: "No one can change Jiang Chen's decision. Just tell him the truth. At worst, you can just not go. There's no money to be made if you go, but you'll be more famous. Jiang Chen doesn't accept advertising endorsements, nor does he appear in movies or TV shows, so his fame won't have any practical use."

Yan Ruyu: "Okay, then I'll tell the truth when I get back."

Yan Ruyu knew that basically no one dared to make any requests to the CCTV Spring Festival Gala program team. No matter how big a star was, he or she had to listen to the arrangements of the CCTV Spring Festival Gala program team.

Otherwise, if you offend the senior management of the CCTV Spring Festival Gala program team, it will be difficult for you to survive in the domestic entertainment industry in the future.

It is very easy to make someone famous through the Spring Festival Gala. Similarly, it is even easier to ban someone. It is just a matter of a word.

However, Yan Ruyu also knew that Jiang Chen had no intention of entering the entertainment industry, so it didn't matter if he offended people from CCTV.

Moreover, given the halo surrounding Jiang Chen, people from CCTV would not target Jiang Chen.

After finishing her meal, Yan Ruyu packed up some things, drove away, headed for the city, and then went directly back to Sichuan University to meet the person in charge sent by CCTV, Li Xiaoli.

Yan Ruyu truthfully relayed Han Qing's words to Li Xiaoli, and explained: "Jiang Chen has been in seclusion in the countryside recently to create and accumulate inspiration, so he likes quietness. Even I haven't seen him these few days, so he is not so keen on performing on stage."

Li Xiaoli frowned slightly: "The Spring Festival Gala stage is open to the national audience, and the time and content of each program are strictly controlled. Even if he agrees, we still have to review his performance program before we can approve it. It's not that he can go on stage just because he wants to. Since he doesn't want to go, forget it!"

Li Xiaoli is an old employee of CCTV. She is often in charge of the Spring Festival Gala program team. She has met various big-name celebrities and artists, but she has never seen Jiang Chen so arrogant. He didn't even want to see her, and yet he made such an outrageous request!

Only half a month for rehearsal, and we are required to go back to the hotel and sleep before ten o'clock?
During the last few days of busy rehearsals for the Spring Festival Gala, even the biggest stars had to sleep backstage or even in the aisles in order to cooperate with the program crew and be able to go on stage for rehearsal or modify the program content at any time.

Yan Ruyu smiled and said, "Don't be angry, Jiang Chen is just that kind of person!"

It was impossible for Li Xiaoli not to be angry, but when she thought that the other party was Jiang Chen, she knew that she really couldn't do anything to him.

As a veteran employee of CCTV, she knows more information that ordinary people don't know.

Knowing that the government is supporting Jiang Chen, there is no negative news about him on the Internet. This is the result of control. Whether it is Jiang Chen himself or all of his works, almost all of them are praised.

Moreover, she also knew that it might not be long before she could see Jiang Chen's works in textbooks next year.

She really couldn't afford to offend Jiang Chen, so she could only force a smile and said, "It's okay. If the cooperation fails, forget it. However, these two articles he wrote are really amazing!"

These two articles were specifically nominated by the above to be performed on the Spring Festival Gala.

She came to Sichuan University to see the original painting and was also amazed. It was much better than what she saw in the video.

Not to mention the content, just the beauty of calligraphy art made her feel that the trip was worthwhile. If it were taken to CCTV, many leaders would definitely snatch it up and admire it. If Sichuan University’s background was weaker, it might not be able to keep these two works.

Seeing that Li Xiaoli didn't seem angry, Yan Ruyu didn't care about it. Anyway, she had no interest in whether Jiang Chen would be on the Spring Festival Gala.

She was just curious now, when would Jiang Chen's masterpiece be finished?

She wanted to get a sneak peek and see what kind of novel Jiang Chen could write.

…………

Li Yumin stayed in Rongcheng, thinking that he could meet Jiang Chen when he was free.

However, after waiting for three more days, he still didn't receive a call from Han Qing. He had no choice but to go back to Shanghai to take care of company matters.

If Jiang Chen doesn’t want to live broadcast, then don’t do it. There was no Jiang Chen before Douyue live broadcast, and it doesn’t matter if he is gone now. I just feel a little sad about the 5% stake.

However, if paying 5% of the shares means that its biggest competitor Penguin Live loses Jiang Chen, it can also be considered a gain.

This is the only way I can comfort myself.

After Penguin Live lost Jiang Chen, its traffic dropped significantly. Although it was better than before Jiang Chen, it still did not meet the expectations of many investors. In the new round of financing, it only gave a valuation of more than 5 billion yuan. This was given for the sake of Penguin Group's face. It was half lower than the 10 billion yuan valuation given when Jiang Chen was there.

Mr. Ma from Penguin Group and Mr. Yang from Penguin Live both regretted not signing Jiang Chen. However, after seeing that Jiang Chen stopped broadcasting after signing with DouYue Live, they were glad that they did not sign Jiang Chen. However, they thought that if they had signed Jiang Chen, Jiang Chen might not have stopped broadcasting, and the situation would have been completely different.

In short, everyone at Penguin Live was worried and anxious, and had mixed feelings, always paying attention to the situation of Douyue Live and Jiang Chen.

As soon as Li Yumin left, Guo Haitao arrived in Chengdu.

In recent days, Jiang Chen's popularity has risen instead of falling after he stopped broadcasting. All major social platforms are discussing Jiang Chen, which has overshadowed the popularity of the singing competition. In addition, the ratings of the latest episode have also begun to decline. Although the singing standards of various professional singers and foreigners are as high as ever and they all sound good, many domestic audiences don't want to see foreigners take first place anymore, which makes them upset, so many people don't watch it anymore.

If this continues, the ratings of the subsequent singing competitions may continue to decline.

Guo Haitao wanted to use some tricks to eliminate the two foreign singers, but that would be too obvious, so he didn't do it for the time being. He quickly came to Chengdu and invited Jiang Chen to participate in the show again.

With Jiang Chen’s current popularity, no matter whether Jiang Chen can win glory for the country and take first place, there will definitely be a lot of viewers watching, and the ratings will inevitably rise.

However, Jiang Chen’s phone call was not connected.

Guo Haitao could only call Han Qing.

"Hello, Han Qing, I'm Guo Haitao from Xiangnan TV."

Guo Haitao quickly introduced himself.

Han Qing was cooking in the kitchen with Chen Xiaojia, Yan Ruyu, and Pu Yuexi. When she received a call from Guo Haitao, she walked out of the kitchen and said, "Oh, hello, Director Guo, are you looking for Jiang Chen?"

Guo Haitao immediately said: "Yes, I want to meet Jiang Chen to discuss cooperation."

Han Qing: "Jiang Chen is in seclusion to accumulate inspiration and will not see outsiders for the time being. Sorry, Director Guo."

Guo Haitao: "Am I an outsider too?"

Han Qing was silent.

Guo Haitao knew that he was asking for trouble. He and Jiang Chen were not familiar with each other. He smiled awkwardly and said, "Have you been following our show recently?"

Han Qing asked in confusion: "What program are you on?"

Guo Haitao wanted to slap himself. Was this another self-humiliation? Was there no normal person among those who were with Jiang Chen?
This program has been dominating the top trending topics on major social platforms for more than a month, and you didn’t even know about it?
Don’t you guys go online?

Guo Haitao consoled himself and said seriously, "It's the Singer Contest on Xiangnan TV, the most popular show in the past month! I want to invite Jiang Chen to perform on our show. Ever since foreign professional singers entered the competition, they have monopolized the first place. I think Jiang Chen should be able to beat those two foreign singers."

"So, I would like to invite Jiang Chen to the show to defeat foreign singers and defend the dignity and honor of our Chinese music."

Guo Haitao spoke with such passion that he wanted to impress Han Qing.

However, Han Qing said: "I will tell Jiang Chen, I don't know whether he agrees or not. You know, he has no time for live broadcast recently."

Guo Haitao: "Okay, I'll wait for your news."

Han Qing: "Okay, Director Guo."

hang up the phone.

Han Qing went to the kitchen to get the prepared food, and then went to the attic in the backyard again to deliver the meal to Jiang Chen.

Jiang Chen had stopped writing and started to stretch his wrists to rest. He handed a few sheets of paper on the table to Han Qing: "This is a short story. Please give it to Yan Ruyu for me later and ask her to pass it to a professional science fiction magazine."

Han Qing nodded, placed the food in front of Jiang Chen one by one, and then picked up a few bound papers, all of which were written by Jiang Chen himself. There was also a thick stack on the table next to her, which were the results of Jiang Chen's recent efforts.

Science fiction?

To be honest, if it was a science fiction novel written by someone else, no matter how well it was written, Han Qing would not be very interested in it.

Most girls don’t have much interest in science fiction works, and prefer sentimental literary works such as romance.

However, since it was written by Jiang Chen, she was very interested in it.

After all, there is nothing bad in Jiang Chen's works, whether it is ancient poetry or modern poetry, they are all masterpieces handed down from generation to generation.

Then, the science fiction novel written by Jiang Chen must not be that simple.

because.

With Jiang Chen's style, he would not allow his work to become ordinary.

Of course, this is the character that the outside world has created for Jiang Chen.

Han Qing picked it up and took a look. There were only about 20,000 words in the book. The title read "Rural Teachers". Doubt flashed in her eyes again. What is the connection between rural teachers and science fiction?
Han Qing wanted to watch it right now, but she suppressed her curiosity. She didn't have much time to read. She put it aside for the moment and said softly, "Director Guo from Xiangnan TV called just now and wanted to meet you to talk about your appearance on the show. He said that foreigners still take first place on the show stage, and he wants you to perform on the show, defeat foreign singers, and defend the dignity and honor of the Chinese music scene."

Jiang Chen was eating, listening to Han Qing's words, smiled and said: "I have only been singing for a month, it is not my turn to defend the dignity and honor of the Chinese music scene, right?"

Han Qing nodded, "Indeed, there are so many other singers. However, I specifically looked at the recent news about the King of Singers Contest, and it seems that no one else can beat those two North American singers. Although these two North American singers are also newcomers who have debuted not long ago, they are very talented and powerful. They are definitely top-notch singers with strong talents. With the current situation in our music scene where the old are old and the young have no real strength, it is really difficult to beat them."

Jiang Chen asked: "Is it the final now?"

Han Qing shook her head: "Not yet, but we have reached the last round of eliminations, and the final four will begin soon."

Jiang Chen thought for a moment and looked at the information on his system panel. His singing skill had not yet reached the perfect level, so he immediately used the large amount of experience points he had accumulated to max out his singing skill. In an instant, he mastered more top-notch singing techniques, which he could still handle with his current talent of iron lungs and golden voice.

If he didn't have these two talents before, even if he maxed out his singing skills, he wouldn't be able to fully display his perfect singing level. He could only display the most perfect state and strength based on his previous talents.

Therefore, even singers who have reached the perfect singing level still have differences in their abilities, and the difference lies in their innate talents.

Jiang Chen said to Han Qing, "Tell Director Guo that I can go! However, the conditions are the same. I have to go to bed at 10 o'clock in the evening. Their show is live, and I have to perform before 9 o'clock. After the performance, I will go back to the hotel to rest."

Han Qing nodded: "Okay, I'll tell Director Guo."

Jiang Chen hummed, then stretched and said, "Okay, the retreat will end today. I can live stream for a while in the afternoon."

Han Qing's eyes lit up and she asked in surprise, "Is your retreat over? That's great. Many viewers are looking forward to your live broadcast every day."

While Han Qing was happy, there was also a hint of regret in her heart.

It’s a good thing that Jiang Chen has ended his retreat. He can do live broadcasts and do other things.

However, everyone else can see Jiang Chen, and Jiang Chen is no longer exclusive to her.

Jiang Chen smiled and said, "Then you can notify them and start the show after dinner tonight."

Han Qing: "Okay, I'll notify them later."

Having said that, Han Qing cleaned up the dishes and walked out.

Outside, Yan Ruyu, Chen Xiaojia, Pu Yuexi and others ran in in surprise when they heard Han Qing say that Jiang Chen's retreat was over. They hadn't seen Jiang Chen for so many days and they missed him very much.

"Wow, Jiang Chen, you've become more handsome after so many days of seclusion."

Chen Xiaojia greeted Jiang Chen with a smile and in a casual manner.

Pu Yuexi, Wang Jing, Li Wen and others also greeted Jiang Chen, their faces full of joyful smiles, and their eyes looking at Jiang Chen were full of smiles from the bottom of their hearts.

Yan Ruyu smiled and nodded at Jiang Chen: "How is the novel?"

Jiang Chen said to Han Qing: "Show her!"

Han Qing was sitting nearby, watching intently, and whispered, "I haven't finished reading it yet."

When Yan Ruyu, Chen Xiaojia, Pu Yuexi and others saw Han Qing eating alone, they all rushed over.

Han Qing hurriedly shouted: "Don't grab it, this is written by Jiang Chen himself, don't damage it!"

When they heard this, they became cautious and didn't dare to fight for it.

Jiang Chen wrote it himself, so it represents different meanings.

Even though this is pen writing and not brush calligraphy, it was still written by Jiang Chen.

Han Qing took it, and several people gathered together to look at it.

"Rural teacher?"

When a few people saw the title, they were a little confused, and then continued reading.
