Start with a pop song
Chapter 264: Another one collapsed; *The Nameless*; Dong Yu's pleasant surprise; *Later*
Chapter 264 Another one collapsed; "The Nameless"; Dong Yu's pleasant surprise; "Later"
It's rare to see such a cold and aloof diva who has learned to "stir things up."
Xia Hong immediately said, "Of course I disagree! Even though Teacher Qin sang exceptionally well, I still think my song is definitely better!"
He then looked at the camera and said, "I guarantee that after I sing this song, you will forget everything that came before!"
This arrogant attitude immediately excited the people in the live broadcast room.
Everyone thoroughly enjoyed the live stream, which resembled an online concert.
This kind of lineup is almost impossible to see in offline commercial performances.
Especially with Yan Yu's help!
It's fair to say that the appearance of this sophisticated woman in a suit on tonight's live broadcast was completely unexpected for many.
It also made the atmosphere better throughout the night.
It wasn't just the viewers of the live stream who were excited.
And what about Xia Hong and the others?
The comments section is currently filled with people "questioning" Xia Hong.
"Really? I don't believe it!"
"impossible!"
"No matter how great a song is, it shouldn't make us forget all the songs that came before it, right?"
"Even if we remove Dog Brother and Lin Fei's song, Chu Peining, Yin Hong, and Qin Lang's three songs tonight are still not going to be defeated!"
"Sister Hong, are you serious about being so confident?"
"Oh my damn competitive spirit! Guys, let's vote for Teacher Qin Lang!"
"Aunt Chu Pei-ning's songs are also amazing!"
"I support Teacher Yin..."
The people present all burst into laughter.
After agreeing on the accompaniment, everyone quickly began the last song of the night's live stream.
Before starting her performance, Xia Hong did some light warm-up exercises, stretching her arms and legs. Then, holding the microphone, she confidently raised her hand and gave an "OK" sign to the crowd behind her.
As Yan Yu's deep drumbeats were followed by the introduction of the piano and other instruments, the atmosphere was instantly grand and inspiring.
next moment.
Xia Hong held the microphone and opened one arm—
"Who brought this ancient call? Who left behind this thousand-year-old expectation? Could it be that there is still a silent song, or that lingering, unforgettable longing... Oh~~~~ I see mountains, mountains and rivers, mountains and rivers, connected together..."
It's really crispy when you open it!
The effect is absolutely amazing!
In fact, when it comes to vocal qualities alone, apart from Yan Yu, who is not a professional singer, the other three girls present—Xia Hong, Chu Peining, and Lin Fei—are all top-notch.
In other words, everyone can sing those high notes!
However, Chu Peining's characteristic is its loudness, Lin Fei's is its mellowness, while only Xia Hong's high notes carry a rugged and unrestrained flavor from a high place.
It is precisely this flavor that allows only she to sing "The Qinghai-Tibet Plateau" with that indescribable yet chilling feeling.
In Song Dao's previous life, there was actually another person who sang this song exceptionally well.
Li Na!
She was a born songstress!
However, he later retired from the music scene and chose to become a monk.
It caused a great sensation at the time and became an eternal regret in the hearts of countless fans.
……
At this moment, the live stream chat was filled with "Holy crap" and "Awesome" comments.
In the comments section, countless people were also shocked and felt their scalp tingle.
"My God, this song is killing me!"
"I had the car on in the taxi, and Sister Hong's shout almost startled the driver."
"No wonder he's so confident, this song is awesome!"
Where is the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau?
"When Teacher Song writes songs, he often likes to create a place name himself, like 'Shanghai' before, so this Qinghai-Tibet Plateau probably refers to the Western Regions..."
"This song is absolutely amazing! Xia Hong's voice is incredible!"
"The moment you open your mouth, you're on the roof of the world!"
What they didn't expect was that the high note that made their scalps tingle was just the beginning.
The truly awe-inspiring part is yet to come.
The chorus begins with the line "Yala Suo, that's the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau," which lowers the pitch.
But when she sang the last line of the second chorus, Xia Hong suddenly raised her pitch.
"Yala Suo, that's... Qinghai... Tibet, the high plateau~~~"
The sound kept rising higher and higher, and kept rising!
Countless people who had been under strict control for several minutes suddenly found themselves instinctively holding their breath.
Many people even felt that their souls were about to leave their bodies.
This is absolutely terrifying!
Even Xia Hong, a top-tier singer, bent slightly, her powerful voice rising in layers as if piercing the clouds.
She stirred up the passion of a group of big shots of the same level around her, and Yan Yu, dressed in a suit, even recreated the image of the goddess in the red dress on stage.
The drum kit was being played with incredible speed and skill.
When Xia Hong sang the last word "original", the entire live stream chat was completely flooded with comments like "crazy", "awesome" and "holy crap".
There are no long sentences in the comments section.
Just like the comments on the bullet screen, it was all "Holy crap!" and "Awesome!"
Accompanied by Yan Yu's frantic drumming and gonging, the long "Yuan" finally stopped.
Then everyone in the audience applauded.
Yin Hong exclaimed in shock, "Amazing, truly amazing!"
At this moment, the live stream chat, from the bullet comments to the comment section, was filled with nothing but "awesome".
Then we saw the votes that were originally far behind start to surge upwards.
In just a few dozen seconds, he had already caught up with the people in front of him.
But it did not stop.
Keep going uphill!
In the end, they were even slightly ahead of Song Dao and Lin Fei, who were originally far ahead.
This is the best feedback that tens of millions of viewers in the live stream gave to this song.
"The Loyal Heart" is certainly impressive, "The Bright Sun Shines Over the Ninety-Nine Days" is also very beautiful, "Young Ambition Knows No Sorrow" is very inspiring, and "Mother" is particularly moving.
But sorry, this "concert" was won by a terrifyingly high note that almost made people faint.
If this were a serious competition, perhaps Song Dao and Lin Fei's fans would go crazy.
But in this game that has a playful element, everyone votes purely based on their own feelings.
Vote for whichever song moves you the most.
The stage effects of "The Qinghai-Tibet Plateau" were truly spectacular.
The key point is that this song, which can be called the pinnacle of high notes, is not just about hitting high notes; the lyrics also have a very profound meaning.
Why did Xia Hong become so confident and certain of winning tonight as soon as she saw this song?
Having come from the plateau, she truly understands the power contained within this song.
Xia Hong bowed repeatedly to the camera.
He then bowed to Yin Hong and the others, saying, "Dear teachers, please accept my humble offer..."
Everyone laughed, but they also applauded again.
Finally, Xia Hong bowed to Song Dao and said, "Thank you, Teacher Song, for creating this song. You are the most amazing one!"
Song Dao stood up: "Sister, you're too kind."
Xia Hong: "So my reward should come soon!"
Song arrived: "..."
This older sister is truly amazing.
At this moment, Song Dao smiled and waved at the camera: "Thank you so much for coming tonight. Our live broadcast is coming to an end. Good night everyone!"
The entire concert lasted only a little over an hour, so there was still plenty of time.
Many people haven't even gotten home yet.
So what's with the goodnight thing?
The live stream was flooded with messages saying "Don't end the stream," and the comments section was filled with desperate attempts to keep the stream going.
But who is Teacher Song?
I'm just doing live streams for fun.
Now that everyone has had their fun, it's time to start drinking.
The happiest people right now are probably the hosts of "Wo Xiu" and the various live streaming rooms on FMCG.
The siphon effect of this live stream was truly terrifying.
Many live streaming rooms that originally had tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands, of viewers have lost at least two-thirds of their audience!
After the broadcast ended.
The group moved to the restaurant.
A sumptuous meal has been laid out, the red wine is being decanted, and the white wine has been poured into decanters.
"Come on, let's drink until we drop tonight!"
Xia Hong excitedly invited everyone to take their seats.
They were all old friends, and everyone sat very casually. However, Yan Yu and Lin Fei, as always, sat on either side of Song Dao.
"It's best to play with Teacher Song. Not only do you learn a lot, but you also have a lot of fun!"
Qin Lang smiled and looked at everyone: "So today we really should toast Teacher Song twice!"
Chu Peining said, "We should not only toast Teacher Song, but also Yan Yan. We haven't properly congratulated her since she took office!"
Everyone chatted and laughed as the dinner party began.
Yin Hong said during the meal, "I think this format is very good. Look, no one drank too much. We had fun first and then drank, so everyone enjoyed themselves."
Xia Hong said, "The pattern you're referring to is having Teacher Song write a few songs for us at every gathering?"
Song arrived: "..."
Yin Hong laughed heartily: "It's not impossible!"
Chu Peining: "Yes, being able to take advantage of Teacher Song's younger brother is the greatest happiness!"
Yan Yu felt very happy.
Although I didn't sing tonight, I played the drums for a while, and I felt much more relaxed.
It's not easy to have complete control of such a large listed company as Linchuan Group.
Even though she had been exposed to this kind of environment since childhood and possessed a top-notch intelligence, she had made ample preparations for this day.
Even with a large group of capable assistants around her, she is still quite tired these days.
No matter how good those people are, they are not Teacher Song.
In this world, besides her parents, the only people she could truly trust were Song Dao and Lin Fei.
There is so much to learn to be a good leader of a huge company.
Despite being exhausted, she didn't regret it.
If she hadn't met Song Dao, she wouldn't have cared much whether her father ultimately gave her the shares.
Just like the studio she runs, her life is "haphazard," and she's content to just get by and live a peaceful existence.
As for who would ultimately take over the company, her mother might have had her own ideas, but she genuinely didn't at the time.
It was Teacher Song who completely "activated" her.
Let her rekindle that passion for life, for everything.
So that night, Yan Yu not only accepted everyone's toasts, but also joined several older brothers and sisters in "attacking" her Mr. Song.
The final result, naturally, was a crushing defeat for all three parties.
The only one who seemed relatively sober was Lin Fei, who was smiling as she watched a group of old and young children drinking together.
The pop diva drank less than usual tonight.
This is also a tacit understanding among the family of three: someone always has to stay alert.
In her excitement, Sister Hong drank herself into a stupor.
Yin Hong, Chu Peining, and Qin Lang were equally excited, and so were they.
Unsteady on their feet, they were helped back by their respective assistants.
As Qin Lang left, he was still muttering, "I'm getting old. Drinking this little bit of liquor used to be nothing..."
Bai Yue and Lin Fei helped Song Dao and Yan Yu into the car and sent them back to Qin Garden.
Afterwards, the Heavenly Queen helped the two little darlings wash up and go to bed.
It was only a little past 11 p.m. when the family of three finally fell asleep in each other's arms.
The internet is buzzing with excitement.
……
The simple hashtag #SongDaoLive# is trending at the top of the hot search list.
Clips of several songs from the live stream have been circulating all over the internet.
Those who missed the live stream due to other commitments were filled with regret and self-reproach.
The four new songs performed tonight have sparked a frenzy of discussion.
Then, someone, whose name is unknown, mocked Liu Nian'an in the comments section of this trending topic—
"Hehe, I wonder what the music competition mentor who came from a music talent show would think of these 'rustic' songs tonight?"
Then this caused a huge stir.
Many people who had long been dissatisfied with Liu Nian'an joined in the mockery by posting sarcastic comments.
"Haha, don't try to portray him like that. The two sides are not even on the same level, okay?"
"Liu Nian'an, you can't even beat Song Dao's apprentice who's currently participating in a music variety show, why bring him up?"
"Comparing that guy, whose singing is like performing rituals, to a group of national team members, isn't that a joke?"
"It's hilarious! I watched the latest episode of Voice of China, and it felt no different from before. The vast majority of people were singing songs written by Song Dao. I really wonder what Liu Nian'an is thinking?"
Someone commented below: "What can he think? He'll just stubbornly refuse to admit that others are better, won't he?"
"To be fair, Liu Nian'an has some decent songs, not all of them are that bad, but he really can't compare to Song Dao. The gap between them is too big!"
These voices naturally aroused the dissatisfaction of Liu Nian'an's fans, who quickly organized and launched a fierce counterattack.
The saying goes, "One fan is worth ten haters," and this group quickly proved how true that statement is.
They first attacked Song Dao, but soon shifted their focus to Xia Hong, Chu Peining, Qin Lang, Yin Hong, and others.
"What the hell is the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau? What else can that old woman Xia Hong do besides showing off her high notes?"
"Explosive? Your mother must be exploding! Only people with brain damage would like to listen to this lousy song!"
"Song Dao writes songs, but he only uses the same few formulas over and over again. Seeing a bunch of old people showing filial piety online is really funny. Are mothers necessarily great? I wish my mom would just die already!"
"Song Dao, that greasy man who only knows how to be sentimental all day, is with a bunch of even greasier old women. It's disgusting!"
"Youthful ambitions know no sorrow? I don't feel sorrow at all! When I'm out of money, I just play some games with Old Deng. When he dies, everything will be mine. What do I have to worry about?"
"The song 'Nine-Nine Sunny Days' is so awful. I really can't imagine what kind of person would like this kind of song..."
This group's mindless rant has thoroughly enraged countless people.
then.
Those whose values are truly shocking were then exposed.
Because such people can never represent the younger generation.
Many of their peers, around the same age, are outraged by these people's remarks.
"It's these beasts who have ruined the reputation of young people, making it seem like all young people are like them!"
"Damn it, those people who opened the boxes!"
"Find these beasts and let everyone see what kind of faces they have in real life!"
There are almost no secrets on the internet these days.
Especially Liu Nian'an's brainless fans, each one of them is either a young man or a young woman with a spiritual spirit.
There are too many traces left behind.
This group was quickly identified, and then more and more information was posted online.
This kind of behavior is actually not good.
However, only those of the same age truly understand how to use magic to defeat magic.
In no time, a large number of Liu Nian'an's fans couldn't stand it anymore. Some posted apologies saying they were wrong, while others simply deleted their accounts and ran away.
Even during the battles against Song Dao and Fei Yang's faction, Liu Nian'an's fan base had never suffered such a crushing defeat.
Just like Song Dao's unexpected live stream this time, he suffered a crushing defeat completely out of the blue.
Liu Nian'an, who was in the hotel booked by the production team and discussing the origin of life with a beautiful female fan, was stunned when she received a call from her agent.
Faced with his agent's question, Liu Nian'an, who had just managed to straighten up, was completely dumbfounded. Looking at the caterpillar that was quickly turning into a caterpillar, he was filled with anger.
"How would I know? I haven't provoked him recently, how could I possibly mobilize his fans..."
As they were talking, he suddenly felt a little guilty when he saw the young girl, who came from a well-off family and was lying in front of him.
I blurted out instinctively, "It's not you, is it?"
This female fan is an administrator of one of his large groups. She would almost always offer herself to him whenever he went to different places.
She proclaimed herself the Crown Princess of the Nian Nian Harem...
Faced with Liu Nian'an's question, she replied, her face pale, "I just asked those people to attack those old women and Lao Deng, I didn't expect it to turn out like this..."
What actually made her pale wasn't just that the matter seemed to have blown up a bit.
Even her personal information has been dug up!
She hadn't had time to check her phone while she was trying to get Niannian to sit up, and only now did she realize that news about her "sleeping with others" had spread everywhere!
She was still in college, and she would skip classes every time to be with Liu Nian'an, regarding this matter as the most important thing in her life.
The problem is, if her husband and mother find out, she'll be finished.
Liu Nian'an was speechless. The agent on the phone probably heard everything and immediately launched into a frantic barrage of words.
This person, who is like a god in the eyes of fans, is nothing in front of the manager.
Even though his family is very wealthy, he has to follow the rules of the entertainment industry to survive in it.
His agent was furious; the woman in her early thirties was cursing him on the phone.
"Get rid of the people around you right now!"
Tell her to shut her mouth!
"Damn idiot!"
"Then you should quickly post something online, don't say whether you knew about this or not, just apologize directly, understand?"
Liu Nian'an, who was already a little flustered, was now getting a bit angry.
As a rich young master, no matter how much he wanted to make a name for himself in the entertainment industry and gain both fame and fortune, he was still a wealthy young man.
Deep down, he still retains his pride.
"Why should I apologize? What should I apologize for? My fans did use abusive language, but it's okay for Song's fans to use illegal activities like opening boxes to target me?"
Lying in bed, the girl, who had been looking a little pale, was moved to tears by her brother's manly words.
Seeing this, Liu Nian'an became even more agitated: "If you ask me, I should have told my fans who were doxxed to call the police! Instead of taking this opportunity to destroy Song Dao, I should apologize to him?"
The agent yelled, "Are you crazy? Those people who opened the box aren't Song Dao's fans at all, or rather, they don't even admit it! Besides, do you think you can get Song Dao with something like this? Can you stop being so naive? Chen Qingshan can't do it, Chen Yuan can't do it, Zhang Xia can't do it either! You think you can?"
Liu Nian'an said with a grim expression, "So we're just going to let ourselves be bullied like this? Damn it, if that's the case, why should I even bother making a living in this entertainment industry?"
"Then stop messing around!" the manager snapped. "It was your fans who went crazy and attacked them first, you idiots!"
"I fucking..." Liu Nian'an only managed to say half a sentence before the phone was hung up.
Enraged, he grabbed his phone and smashed it against the wall.
Modern cell phones are really sturdy; they didn't break, just like Liu Nian'an at this moment.
Cracked.
"Brother, I'm sorry..." the girl said weakly, a little frightened.
"It's none of your business!" Liu Nian'an said angrily. "Damn it, she's giving me too much face. As my manager, she's always speaking up for others. I think she should go and be that bastard Song Dao's manager!"
At this moment, Liu Nian'an was unaware of the seriousness of the matter and thought it would pass quickly, just like every other time.
He even felt wronged.
Why should I apologize when my fans are exposed?
He couldn't possibly let this girl, with whom he got along so well, go home so late at night.
However, I lost the will to continue.
We slept like that, hugging each other all night.
The next morning, the doorbell of the suite kept ringing because they couldn't get through to him on the phone.
Liu Nian'an, who was wearing pajamas, was startled when she went to open the door.
He thought it was his agent who had come.
It did come.
But it wasn't just agents; there was also the company's CEO, who had just been spun off from Times Media.
And the chief director of "Voice of Xia Kingdom".
The agent merely glanced at him indifferently, giving him a look that said, "Good luck to you."
Before the director even entered the room, he looked at him and said, "Mr. Liu, I regret to inform you that our collaboration needs to be temporarily suspended. You don't need to participate in the recording of the next episode."
The director apologized verbally, but showed no remorse on his face; in fact, he looked rather unpleasant. After finishing his speech, he turned and left.
"No, why?" Liu Nian'an asked, completely bewildered.
I thought to myself, what's the big deal?
It was just a group of fans who attacked Song and his group.
This kind of thing has happened at least 80 or 100 times over the years, so why is it so serious this time?
Besides, it was one of my fans who got their boxes opened!
Why should I take the blame?
After the agent and the company's CEO entered the room, the CEO said directly, "For the time being, all your work will be suspended. We'll see if there's a chance for you to make a comeback when the storm has completely passed."
This boss felt like he was incredibly unlucky.
Why are the people trained by the Feiyang Music Movement so obedient and clean?
Are all the students in the Department of Media Studies really that bad?
Could it be bad feng shui?
First there was that idiot Zhao Qi, who had just been promoted to the top and then ruined his own career.
Then came Liu Nian'an, this stupid rich second-generation.
Despite his considerable talent, he's even more prone to causing trouble than Zhao Qi.
Not only does he sleep with fans every day, but he's also got into a feud with the Fei Yang faction.
During the previous recording of the show, he contradicted the three respected mentors on one hand, and tried every means to make trouble for Song Dao's apprentice Chen Yu on the other.
These things are actually not a big deal.
The key issue is that last night, his group of fans indiscriminately attacked a group of national-level singers, which angered many people!
This morning, he received a message that Liu Nian'an had been named by higher authorities. They said that they had received a large number of complaints and reports, and there was enough evidence to prove that Liu Nian'an had problems such as attracting fans, "selecting concubines", condoning fans to maliciously attack other artists, and value orientation.
He has been listed as a disgraced celebrity.
In short, Liu Nian'an, the young singer who was previously heavily promoted and promoted by Times Media, has basically ruined his future.
Then he made inquiries from various sources.
Finally, a piece of insider information that comes closest to the truth has been unearthed.
It is said that last night, a high-ranking leader listened to Qin Lang sing "Mother" on the recommendation of his subordinates.
I was very touched and kept praising them.
Then I thought I'd take a look at the online reviews of this song.
—The leaders really know how to use the internet.
As a result, in that trending topic, I saw a lot of Liu Nian'an's fans making all sorts of vulgar comments about that song.
He was furious on the spot.
He called his subordinates overnight.
Liu Nian'an already had a lot of scandals.
However, on the one hand, his family is wealthy and has strong connections, which can play a certain role in official circles; on the other hand, the company is also protecting him as a cash cow.
Now that the higher-ups are taking it seriously, no one can protect him anymore.
Faced with Liu Nian'an's bewildered question about why, the company's boss only gave him a cold look: "The reason you weren't allowed in this time is because the big boss at headquarters pulled some strings and protected you. Otherwise, do you think we would have come looking for you? We'd be your uncles if we came!"
Liu Nian'an was speechless.
……
Like Zhao Qi, Liu Nian'an's sudden collapse overnight has made everyone in the Xia Kingdom's entertainment industry feel insecure.
On the one hand, they were terrified of the terrible "Fyan Curse".
—Those who have ever picked a fight with the Fei Yang faction have almost all come to a bad end.
This incident has given many people the creeps.
Even with ample evidence, it is clear that Liu Nian'an's house collapse had little to do with Song Dao and the Fei Yang faction.
But who dares to say that this isn't part of the "curse"?
What's even more outrageous is that, regardless of whether the group of brainless fans who opened the box last night were Song Dao's fans or not.
Under normal circumstances, Song would also be implicated to some extent.
But in reality, nobody on the entire internet has mentioned this!
It was as if this had never happened.
Songdao's reputation has reached an astonishing level.
After all, even the most popular celebrities have haters, and there are plenty of people on the internet who are willing to speculate about others with the utmost malice.
There are countless people who spread rumors and make baseless accusations.
For example, after seeing a video, many people start spouting nonsense without knowing anything about the situation.
But all of these things seemed to be out of Song's reach!
Even if there are a few "sober-minded ladies" and "know-it-alls" occasionally, they will quickly be criticized to the point of questioning their existence.
He clearly didn't run anything, yet he was granted this absurd "immunity."
The celebrities in the industry are incredibly envious, but also terrified!
They are not to be trifled with, nor dared to be.
Anyone who gets involved with the "Fiyan curse" will have a bad end!
On the other hand, they were also somewhat shocked by Liu Nian'an's information.
The impression this kid gave off before was mainly that he was arrogant, conceited, and looked down on everyone.
Unexpectedly, they had such a wild side in private.
There's a lot of stuff being leaked online.
Even some girls who "woke up" couldn't help but jump in and beat the drowning dog.
The hammer blows were more and more brutal than the last.
The family of three, who woke up early in the morning, were a little stunned when they saw these messages.
Then look at all the negative stories circulating online.
I'm utterly speechless.
It can only be said that this rich second-generation who entered the entertainment industry with his spoiled and arrogant habits is really quite good at courting disaster.
Many of the things they did behind the scenes were astonishing.
For example, he could have his "Empress Dowager" choose his concubines, and then a dozen or so of them would spend many days together in a hotel...
Song Dao was a little doubtful: could this kid handle all the work?
The worst part is that this footage wasn't leaked from hotel surveillance footage; it was filmed by those people themselves!
A group of brainless fans, wanting to show off that they had slept with their idol, not only filmed the incident but also circulated it among themselves in so-called private groups.
It would be strange if this kind of thing didn't get out.
And this is just the tip of the iceberg.
Even more things that skirt the edge of the law were exposed and posted online overnight.
"Liu Nian'an is finished." Lin Fei said calmly after seeing this information.
"It's definitely over. It's a good thing they didn't go in." Yan Yu looked at Song Dao, "Do you think Orange TV might..."
Before he could finish speaking, Song Dao's phone lit up.
The caller was none other than the deputy director of Orange TV whom he had met before. As soon as Song answered the phone, a warm voice came from the other end: "Hello, Teacher Song, I'm sorry to bother you so early."
"Hello, Director Zhao." Song Dao was also very polite.
"Well, let me get straight to the point. I'm calling you because I need your help."
On the phone, the deputy director surnamed Zhao poured out his grievances to Song.
He disagreed with the idea of having Liu Nian'an as a mentor.
"This kid just won the championship in a music talent show last year, and this year he's a mentor, and he's even with Yin Hong and the others. To be honest, he's really not qualified."
"At the time, the leader's intention was to use him so that everyone could have a place to vent their emotions..."
Song arrived: "..."
A bunch of cunning old foxes, they're really wicked!
I never entered the entertainment industry in my past life, so I never imagined that there would be so many outrageous things happening in a variety show.
For example, they might specifically hire people who are disliked or even disgusted by the public, with the aim of getting everyone to criticize them.
After all, the more you criticize, the more popular you become!
Orange TV is an expert at this kind of thing.
They're playing an exceptionally high level of skill.
This time things went awry; before the show was even finished filming, the person's reputation completely collapsed.
The key issue is that the fans' actions led to the collapse of the project.
Looking at what he did, he was not wronged at all, but in this particular incident, he was indeed quite unlucky.
Even more unfortunate was Orange TV, which made some questionable moves.
Even if they can get a large amount of breach of contract fees from Liu Nian'an, it would definitely be a blow to a big-budget music variety show that has already been filmed more than halfway and several episodes have been released.
So, in order to save himself, this Deputy Director Zhao even disregarded the rumors that Teacher Song didn't like answering the phone and came directly to ask for help.
In an emergency meeting, the station's leaders unanimously agreed that if Song came to Ken, the show would not only be revitalized, but could even become a huge hit!
"We'd like to ask Professor Song to come and save the day. If you're willing to come, Professor Song, we can discuss salary directly; we can talk about advertising revenue sharing!"
This is no longer as simple as just giving tens of millions.
Previously, Song Dao, who directly received a share of the profits from Hong Jie's grassroots music variety show "Singing While Walking," earned tens of millions of yuan.
For a major TV station like Orange TV, the advertising revenue sharing is absolutely astronomical.
However, Song Dao was not very interested in this.
Two years ago, I might have been thinking about making more money.
But since entering the film industry, with several films becoming huge hits, he has long been financially secure.
If we had invited him from the beginning, he could have shared the stage with his friends and made music together; maybe he would have had some ideas.
The relationship with Orange TV has indeed improved, but we can't really be called good friends.
He didn't want to take on these kinds of emergency rescue jobs.
But before he could politely decline, the other party said, "If Teacher Song can come, then as long as I'm in charge of all the major variety shows on Orange Channel, I can choose any artist from Fei Yang's group!"
Song hesitated slightly.
Although Northeast TV has also gained momentum in the past two years.
Various variety shows are in full swing, and they are no longer the ignorant people they used to be.
However, in terms of historical and cultural foundation, it still lags far behind TV stations like Orange, which have been dominant for many years.
Even without the Fei Yang system, Orange TV can still produce one or two hit variety shows almost every year.
He himself doesn't really care, and given his current status and position, appearing on variety shows would be beneath him.
However, with the increasing number of artists from Fei Yang's side, it's difficult for Northeast TV alone to handle them all.
"Director Zhao, I have been quite busy lately, preparing for a new drama. But I can discuss with the people at the company to see if we can find a suitable candidate for you. What do you think?"
Song ultimately did not agree.
Instead, they offered a compromise.
They were somewhat disappointed, but they also knew that it would indeed be difficult to get Song to appear on a variety show right now.
All I could say was, "That's fine too. As long as it's someone you recommended, Professor Song, we definitely have no problem with them!"
They chatted for a couple more minutes before hanging up.
Song Dao looked at Lin Fei and Yan Yu: "Who do you think is more suitable to go?"
The two women knew that Teacher Song would definitely not participate in this kind of variety show, and even if Teacher Yin was there, it wouldn't make much sense for her to go.
Lin Fei thought for a moment and said, "Why don't we ask Sister Qing who's free lately?"
Yan Yu suddenly thought of someone and said, "Where's Sister Qiu? I don't think she's been busy lately, is she?"
Song Dao and Lin Fei's eyes lit up.
Song Dao chuckled and teased, "Wow, President Yan, even though you've gone to manage a real business, you still know so much about the entertainment industry!"
Yan Yu scoffed and said, "I've only been gone a few days. Besides, I was playing with everyone last night, wasn't I?"
Song Dao picked up the phone and called Li Qingqing to ask. Sure enough, Qiu Xinyao was available.
The real stars of the Fei Yang lineage are actually the direct disciples.
In addition, Qiu Xinyao has focused more on her family in recent years and is not as enthusiastic about various activities.
He then contacted Qiu Xinyao.
I asked her what she wanted to do.
"Huh? Taking over a shift midway? Would it be suitable for me?"
The Taiwanese diva didn't refuse, but gently asked about her doubts.
"Teacher Yin, with Chen Mingchuan and Ji Tingfeng along, it's perfect for you to go, Sister Qiu!" Song said with a smile.
"But I've never been a mentor on a music variety show before, so I'm not very good at it. I don't want to do a bad job and get scolded, which would embarrass you, Teacher Song."
"It's alright, it's alright, just bring a new song with you," Song Dao said casually.
"Oh? Really? That's great! Now I feel more confident!" You could feel the sister's excitement even through the phone.
The main reason is that last night's live stream was just too amazing.
Not only did it bring down a currently popular second-tier celebrity, but it also produced four hit songs.
It hasn't even been released on Jingting Music yet, but it's already become incredibly popular online.
Qiu Xinyao felt a little regretful while watching the live stream because Xia Hong had also invited her yesterday, but she had declined because she had to attend one of her daughter's events.
If it had happened back then, Teacher Song would most likely have written a song for her too.
Fortunately, Teacher Song still remembered her.
……
a few days later.
Earth Pictures.
The filming of "War and Beauty" has been completed for some time now.
Song couldn't attend the wrap party because he was attending a performance to show his appreciation to the audience.
However, they also sent a large red envelope to him.
Zhao Xue has been resting at home recently, and it is said that she got a little too immersed in her role during filming.
I contacted Song a few days ago and said I wanted to travel around and relax.
People like Zhao Xue and Han Ling, who are signed with Earth Pictures, are actually quite free.
I only accept roles based on my mood.
Since they are not short of money, they now almost never take on outside acting roles.
Song came here today for two reasons, firstly to see how the post-production of "Golden Branch" was going.
Secondly, Baozi messaged him last night, saying that the first version of "Nezha" has finally been released, and asked him to take a look and give his opinions.
Song was somewhat happy.
The market has been eagerly anticipating the film "Ne Zha".
In addition, Kang Peng recently recruited a young director, who is said to be quite capable and full of ideas.
It just so happens that Song Dao is also planning to start a new film, and he intends to meet him. If the film is suitable, he hopes to train a director from among them.
However, as soon as he arrived at the company, he saw Han Ling.
The young actress has been quite busy lately, but not with commercial activities; rather, she has chosen to return to school to pursue her doctorate.
In her private conversation with Song Dao, she said: "I have to work harder so that I can appear more conscious by your side."
In fact, it wasn't just her; Flip Cat and Zhong Yutong also chose to return to their alma mater to pursue graduate studies.
Although they are all very famous, with no less fame, status and income, deep down they all worry that they are not good enough for their mentors.
Try every possible way to improve yourself.
I want to be in better condition to stay by my master's side.
Han Ling dressed very young, in a simple gray sweatshirt, comfortable casual pants, and sneakers.
She had her hair tied in a bun.
When Song arrived at the company, she was chatting with Kang Peng and the young director.
Upon seeing Song Dao, a bright and cheerful smile appeared on his face, which startled Kang Peng and the young director beside him.
"Teacher Song, it's been a long time!"
The young actress had a sweet smile, but her gaze towards Song Dao carried a hint of sorrow that no one else could perceive.
She knew Song was quite busy, but she also knew that this man spent all his time with those two wives…
She couldn't bring herself to compete, but she did hope that Song could spend more time with her.
Complete what you didn't finish last time.
Can't stay a half-virgin forever?
"The boss is here." Kang Peng greeted him with a smile, and then introduced the young director who stood up somewhat reservedly.
"This is Zhu Dongyang, a very talented young director."
"Hello, Teacher Song!" Zhu Dongyang was not tall, with slightly dark skin, and his eyes were filled with fervor as he looked at Song Dao.
"Hello, please have a seat." Song Dao smiled and sat down on the sofa.
Kang Peng then gave Song a brief introduction to Zhu Dongyang's professional background.
He has formal training in acting and has worked on many film crews. He is the kind of person who can do everything and has done all sorts of jobs.
He even won the Best Cinematography award at a small film festival.
"Actually, he directed many of the films from a few years ago, but for some reasons, he was only listed as an assistant director..."
With Kang Peng's introduction, Song Dao quickly learned about this person.
This situation is actually quite common in the industry. For example, when some famous writers or celebrities want to produce a movie themselves, they usually invite someone like Zhu Dongyang, who is not famous but has good abilities, to be the executive director.
To put it bluntly, he's a hired gun.
Such people are not lacking in ability, but only in opportunity.
Given a good opportunity, one might be able to rise to prominence.
Song Dao also admired Zhu Dongyang quite a bit, but he was even more grateful to Kang Peng, the original owner's roommate.
After transmigrating to this world, Kang Peng is probably the only friend of the original owner who has maintained close contact with him.
He could even be considered a benefactor of Song.
The steamed buns mentioned earlier made Earth Pictures famous.
Without Baozi's involvement, even if Song Dao were still able to bring his world's classic animation to the big screen, it wouldn't have been possible to do so quickly.
He couldn't possibly have achieved financial freedom so early.
Therefore, Song Dao treated Kang Peng very well.
Not only were he rewarded with shares from the option pool, but he was also given significant authority with great trust.
And so, they've brought in another outstanding talent like Zhu Dongyang.
"I do have a story to tell."
After understanding the situation, Song Dao spoke.
Zhu Dongyang's eyes lit up immediately.
It's not so much that Kang Peng found him, but rather that he actively sought out and created the opportunity to get to know President Kang!
There are just too many people who want to join Earth Pictures these days.
Not only does he have money, but he also has a boss who can write great scripts. Who wouldn't want to be the lucky one that Song Dao has his eye on?
But Zhu Dongyang never expected that he would get such an opportunity just two days after signing the contract with the company and after meeting the boss for the first time!
My heart was filled with excitement, but I managed to keep my composure on the surface.
You can't act too low-class, lest the boss doesn't like it.
Kang Peng also got excited. Earth Pictures has no shortage of scripts these days, but neither he nor Sun Zhe dared to make a decision easily.
On the one hand, there's a bit of a burden on us, because Earth Pictures' recent films have all been incredibly popular!
The box office is too high.
This has inadvertently raised the standards.
If their projects don't achieve great success, or even if they accidentally fail... the pressure is immense!
On the other hand, they also wanted to wait for Song to receive the script.
It has to be the boss's story; that's the only way to trust someone to do it!
"This should be an art film, telling the story of the dignity and struggles of ordinary people, and their reflections on life."
If someone else had said that, not only Zhu Dongyang, but even Kang Peng would probably have scoffed at it.
Almost all art-house film directors say that their films are reflections on life.
Then two-thirds of them will say that their films are about the struggles of ordinary people...
It seems like a film can't be considered an art film unless it involves some suffering.
However, Song said that the two of them dared not be careless at all.
The previous "Lurking" was said to be a documentary adapted from a true story.
When the project was initiated, it was ridiculed by countless peers.
But it later achieved a terrifyingly low box office.
Who can I talk to?
So when Song Dao said his film was a niche art film, nobody really believed him.
"The story takes place in a mountain town. Security guard Ma Xianyong was originally a police auxiliary officer. His wife died because of drunk driving, and his sister Ma Jiaqi became paralyzed from the waist down. He was also dismissed from his post as a result..."
As Song Dao narrated his story in a captivating manner, everyone present, including Han Ling, quickly became immersed in the plot.
Zhu Dongyang's expression grew increasingly serious, but his eyes grew brighter and brighter!
There's something inside him.
It's not just for show.
From Song Dao's narration, one can naturally tell that this is a truly wonderful story!
It truly tells the story of the dignity and struggles of ordinary people, but it is full of dark humor and comedy.
It truly reflects on life, especially the key character Ma Jiaqi, whose backstory is incredibly compelling!
Therefore, the niche art films that Teacher Song talks about are completely different from all those other random things out there!
After giving a brief overview of the plot, Song did not elaborate further.
All three of them were a bit scratching their heads.
Han Ling said, "I feel that this story must be particularly exciting. And what you said about using dialect to present it makes some scenes sound especially hilarious."
The girl stared intently at Song Dao, her face clearly saying, "Husband, husband, I want to act in this."
Song Dao glanced at her and said, "You're too beautiful. This isn't suitable for you."
Han Ling immediately pouted, then suddenly thought of something: "I know who is most suitable for this role!"
Everyone looked at her.
Han Ling: "Dong Yu! She can definitely portray Ma Jiaqi's state!"
Song Dao squinted and pondered Dong Yu's condition for a moment.
My own diva's junior sister is indeed not very talkative, and often seems a bit down.
Playing Ma Jiaqi, who is determined to die, shouldn't be a problem.
Actually, he had the idea before that he would write two films like this to promote his sister-in-law.
Although Lin Fei never mentions it, and Dong Yu himself would never mention it, as her brother-in-law, he can't just ignore it forever.
Zhu Dongyang raised his hand like a primary school student: "Boss, can I say a few words?"
Song Dao smiled and said, "Sure, don't be shy."
"I also think that Teacher Dong Yu is capable of playing this role!" Then, he boldly went on and on, giving his opinion based on the films and television series Dong Yu had previously starred in.
Song Dao nodded and glanced at Han Ling: "Then why don't you call her over?"
Han Ling knew that Teacher Song was doing her a favor.
No matter what, Dong Yu is Lin Fei's junior sister, and it was Han Ling who took the initiative to recommend her this time.
Kang Peng asked, "Boss, does our story have a name?"
Song Dao: "An unknown person."
Kang Peng nodded: "Great name. I have a feeling this story will be a great film!"
It's hard to say how high the box office will be since it involves Song Dao, but the story will definitely be very exciting.
He glanced at Zhu Dongyang, who was rubbing his hands together, and asked Song with a smile, "When will you be able to finish writing the script?"
Song thought for a moment and said, "Sooner, I'll do it as soon as possible."
Han Ling got up to call Dong Yu, while Song Dao took the opportunity to check on the post-production progress of "Golden Branch".
Director Gao, as expected of an experienced veteran, managed to make this film more refined and enjoyable than the version from another timeline, even with ample funding.
Upon seeing Song Dao, Gao Qun smiled and said, "It has to be Teacher Song. Whatever he writes becomes a hit. I have great confidence that this TV series can become the best TV series of the year!"
Song Dao smiled and praised him a few times. After making an appointment with Gao Qun to have drinks together in the next couple of days, he went to Baozi's place.
Baozi, with his stubble and hair as messy as a bird's nest, smiled happily when he saw Song arrive.
"Boss, come quick! I have a feeling that we might even surpass Monkey King in this movie!"
Mr. Bao, who didn't look like a billionaire at all, pulled Song into the small screening room.
Han Ling then followed.
He whispered to Song Dao, "Dong Yu will be here in a bit."
Then he sat down next to Song Dao.
Baozi glanced at it and thought to himself, "It still has to be the boss!"
However, he wasn't envious.
Despite being an animation director, he has attracted a growing number of actresses eager to woo him.
Identity doesn't matter, the key is having money!
Especially for a workaholic like Baozi who has always been making animations, there is neither the thought nor the opportunity to cheat, whether internally or externally.
Marrying someone like that would be incredibly comfortable.
The video started playing soon.
Han Ling, who was initially somewhat absent-minded, quickly became completely engrossed after watching for a while.
I even forgot to check my phone.
It wasn't until the entire movie was over that I came to my senses, wiping my eyes as I watched.
"Oh dear, I completely forgot about Dong Yu..."
He quickly picked up his phone and replied to Dong Yu's message.
When Song Dao and Dong Yu came out together, Dong Yu had already been at the company for a while.
He first greeted Han Ling with a smile.
Then he looked at Song and asked, "Are we starting a new film again?"
Song Dao nodded: "Yes, this time you're going to challenge the female lead..."
Dong Yu was somewhat taken aback: "Me? The female lead?"
Han Ling called her, only saying that Teacher Song had a new film and there was a role in it that was suitable for her, without even mentioning the "recommendation".
But Dong Yu isn't stupid. If it wasn't Han Ling's recommendation, why would she call her?
She thought it was some important supporting role or something, but she didn't expect her brother-in-law to give her a big one.
The movie's female lead, and it's a movie starring Song Dao—these two factors combined would make any actress in the industry, let alone her, excited to take the role.
So how could it be me? Why should it be me?
Despite having Lin Fei as a connection, Dong Yu always maintained a proper distance.
She never imagined that Song had "taken a liking to her".
After all, there are too many beautiful women around her brother-in-law. She is certainly not ugly, but she is far inferior to her sister, Yan Yu, and even Han Ling in front of her.
Song Dao smiled and nodded: "I'll have Director Zhu Dongyang tell you the story outline later. I'll try to finish the script and character biographies as soon as possible. You should spend some time in Shancheng recently. The movie should be filmed there. Learn the Shancheng dialect properly."
Then he said to Zhu Dongyang and Kang Peng, "You probably already know the main actors. I'll write out the character biographies today, and you can use them to select actors. Try to choose from within the company first, and then look outside. Whether it's Glasses, Big Head, or Ma Xianyong, they are all ordinary people in real society, so you can pay attention to those young actors with acting skills..."
After arranging things, Song Dao didn't linger at the company. Instead, he took Han Ling to a very nice private chef restaurant.
Let's have a meal together.
After all, the young actress remained devoted to him, and he occasionally had to spend some time with her.
the other side.
When Dong Yu walked out of the company, she still looked a little dazed.
She was still reeling from the shock of actually becoming the female lead in a movie.
He picked up his phone and called Lin Fei.
"Sis, my brother-in-law wants me to be the lead actress..."
Lin Fei wasn't at the company today; instead, she went to Linchuan Group with Yan Yu.
The mature and sophisticated woman plans to invite her best friend to become the spokesperson for the company's products.
Today's visit is to attend the signing and press conference.
Actually, President Yan would have preferred Mr. Song to come as well, because he would be a perfect fit in every way.
But think about it and forget it.
There are countless people online making up stories about them being a family of three. Although what they say is quite true, she doesn't care. But she is now the head of Linchuan Group, and she can't let these rumors continue.
Reputation is something that is not easy to build, but it can be destroyed in the blink of an eye.
It's best to be careful about some things.
When Lin Fei received Dong Yu's call, she had just finished a press conference and was visiting the showroom with Yan Yu and others, where various products were on display.
Meanwhile, many media reporters, as well as the publicity department of Linchuan Group, were filming the incident.
Therefore, she didn't say much, but just smiled and said, "That's great news, congratulations! Choosing you means you're capable! I'm at Linchuan Group now, and your sister Yan and I will treat you to dinner tonight to celebrate!"
Dong Yu then realized that she might have said something wrong. Song was indeed with her sister, but it wasn't public.
A strong sense of apology welled up inside me: "I'm so sorry, sis, I didn't know you were busy..."
"It's okay, we'll talk when we meet tonight!"
"Okay, I'll wait for your call."
After hanging up the phone, Dong Yu slapped her forehead and reminded herself that she needed to be more careful with her words in the future.
Even things like my brother-in-law seeming to have gone out with Han Ling just now shouldn't be said carelessly.
Because she had already realized that her sister didn't seem to care at all...
……
Orange Terrace.
The recording site of "Voice of Xia Kingdom".
Liu Nian'an's house collapse had a significant impact on this program.
At this point, the recording of the show had entered the elimination phase within each group.
However, the episodes that had already been recorded but not yet aired will definitely not be broadcast now that Liu Nian'an has been labeled a disgraced celebrity.
Qiu Xinyao and the other three mentors had to re-record a lot of footage.
The production team spent a lot of money on this.
After today's appearance, we'll have to re-record the previous footage.
Many staff members cursed Liu Nian'an in their hearts.
However, it didn't bother those students.
Apart from the two promising players from Liu Nian'an's company, they were filled with anxiety.
Everyone else seemed indifferent.
Many people even felt fortunate!
That bastard has finally collapsed and gotten out of here.
Otherwise, if they were in Liu Nian'an's group, they would not only fail to achieve good rankings, but also would not have much exposure.
Moreover, Liu Nian'an is incredibly selfish; he never gives any screen time to his own team members.
Even the two top players from the same company didn't help promote it much.
At this moment, the members of Liu Nian'an's group, as well as people from other groups, were all waiting to see who would come to replace him.
There's been a lot of online discussion lately, saying it's very likely that Song came over.
If that's really the case, Liu Nian'an's group, which was originally the least popular, will instantly become the most sought-after!
The other three mentors also seemed unclear.
Of course, it could also be an act.
To welcome the new mentors, the production team arranged a special segment.
—Recognize a person by their voice!
This segment will be shown at the beginning of the latest episode.
This can be considered a surprise for the audience.
Below the stage at the recording venue, people in the audience were whispering among themselves.
"Is this Teacher Song?"
"Shouldn't it be possible?"
"Everyone says that Teacher Song is coming."
"If it really is Song Dao, that would be amazing."
at this time.
Suddenly, an unfamiliar intro music began to play.
The three mentors exchanged glances.
"A new song?" Chen Mingchuan asked.
"It should be a new song, it sounds unfamiliar?" Ji Tingfeng said, looking at Yin Hong. "Teacher Yin, do you know who's coming?"
Yin Hong shook his head: "I really don't know..."
next moment.
A gentle female voice rang out.
"Later, I finally learned how to love, but you were already gone, lost in the sea of people. Later, I finally understood through tears that some people, once missed, are gone forever..."
An uproar immediately erupted at the scene.
Wow! Qiu Xinyao!
"It's Sister Qiu Xinyao!"
"What a great new song!"
"It must have been written by Song Dao."
"Wrong, it should be 'water striking three thousand times'..."
All three mentors showed expressions of surprise and delight.
Although it wasn't Song Dao who came, Qiu Xinyao's status is definitely high enough.
Moreover, of the original four "bachelors", a beautiful woman has finally arrived.
I'm still very happy.
However, the excitement at the scene was brief, and as Qiu Xinyao gracefully walked out, she waved to everyone.
A round of enthusiastic applause broke out.
But soon, everyone was immersed in the song.
As the lyrics appeared on the big screen, and Qiu Xinyao's gentle yet melancholic voice rang out, everyone suddenly realized that this song was a bit heartbreaking!
