Chapter 194 Bad news

The 22nd is the semi-final day of the Young Singer Contest, and it will still be recorded and broadcast as before.

Although the scene had been relatively well-arranged during the rehearsal yesterday, the program team of the Young Singer Contest has been busy since the morning, with shouts, conductors, and laughter in the venue one after another.

Xue Xianzheng is relatively leisurely. As the chief director, he is in control of the overall situation. As for the details, he can leave them to his subordinates.

What he was more worried about was that Ding Ning only participated in the first rehearsal, and he did not participate in yesterday's rehearsal, and he had worked hard on the stage yesterday, especially the choreography effect. He wondered if he could cooperate with Ding Ning's performance later.

Tickets were sold for the semi-finals, but when Ding Ning arrived early at noon, the audience had already formed several long queues outside the venue.

The entrances for the contestants and the entrance for the audience are in the opposite position, but the car responsible for picking up the contestants in the Young Singer Contest program is too conspicuous. When he passed by the audience in the car, a sharp-eyed audience recognized him, and the scene immediately screamed again and again.

That posture seemed to have the feeling of the fans chasing after Zheng Wei in the previous ldc anniversary celebration. Ding Ning waved to them through the car window, feeling warm in his heart.

As soon as Ding Ning entered the venue, Xue Xianzheng noticed it.

He hurriedly approached Ding Ning, wanting Ding Ning to go on stage and rehearse quickly, to see what kind of stage effect would be suitable for him.

But Ding Ning's words scared Xue Xianzheng: "Director Xue, I think I will quit the competition after today's competition."

Ding Ning didn't say this casually, but after careful consideration, he discussed it with his parents, Yang Du and others, and got Xia Ziyan's support.

Just like the Young Singer Contest and the title of the strongest new voice, this stage belongs to newcomers and those unsatisfactory singers.

But now he is full of ambition, the album "Seed" has sold nearly 80 copies, and "Blue Lotus" broke the platinum sales in two days. Land, due to emotion and reason, should no longer compete with a bunch of "rookies" in the Young Singer Contest.

Withdrawing voluntarily, although it reduces his follow-up exposure in the Young Singer Contest and the strongest new voice stage, it is beneficial to his reputation.

What's more, recently he learned about some insider rules of the Young Singer Contest, and learned that people like him who stand on their own are not favored by the program crew. There was absolutely no need for him to die in the Young Singer Contest.

Anyway, he has been getting so many invitations recently, many of which are well-known programs on star satellite TV. As long as he is willing, there are many opportunities to be exposed, and there is no shortage of young singer contests.

When Xue Xianzheng heard that Ding Ning said that he would withdraw from the Young Singer Contest, his face turned pale instantly, and he asked urgently, "Why?!"

Of course, Ding Ning would not tell Xue Xianzheng about his concerns about unspoken rules. He just told Xue Xianzheng that his current results are no longer suitable for competing with other players on this stage. It would be unfair to other players if he kept it.

If it is unfair, on the surface, there is indeed, and it is a big unfairness.

As soon as "Blue Lotus" came out, Ding Ning's popularity skyrocketed, exactly as he had predicted before. On the player popularity list, Ding Ning's total popularity was higher than that of the next nine players combined, and the gap was still widening.

Such Yiqi Juechen's popularity, which is more crushing than crushing, has completely locked the title of the champion early.

But strictly speaking, this is not unfair, it's just that there is a huge disparity in the personal strength of the players.

In which year's competition, there will be no gap in the strength of the players, that is, Ding Ning is an outlier this year, so that it is particularly obvious.

As far as the rules are concerned, even if Ding Ning's results are better than now, there is no unfairness in the slightest.

Before the competition, Ding Ning was in full compliance with the contestant standards of the Young Singer Contest. He was able to achieve such incredible results in such a short period of time with his own strength.

Yes, I have to hold back.

Besides, even if it is unfair, does this unfairness matter?

For Xue Xianzheng, it doesn't matter at all.

Is there any reality show that has a real fairness?
Aren't the forces behind each of them balancing the competition, each taking what they need?

What is really important to him?
Ratings!
Ratings are the biggest criterion for judging his achievements.

All he knew was that with Ding Ning as an influential figure, the ratings of this year's Young Singer Contest in the Shen City competition area will definitely surpass other competition areas, and it is entirely expected that it will hit a new high in the past.

But Ding Ning is going to quit now, which is simply bad news for him.

You must know that this year's Shen City competition area's limelight was basically robbed by Ding Ning alone.

There are players who can barely challenge him in terms of overall strength, but there is no one who can challenge him in terms of popularity.

If Ding Ning withdraws, who else in the Shen City competition area has something to watch?
Joey?
Pull it down, folk songs, unless they sing flowers and sing the sounds of nature, can they become a highlight.

Although Qiu Yiyi's voice is the most plastic among all the contestants, her singing style is too traditional, deeply influenced by the famous folk singer Dong Danfeng, lacks personal characteristics, and does not have enough to make people shine. If there is not much improvement, no matter how good the singing is, it can only be said to be an excellent imitator of Dong Danfeng.

Jiang Yu?

If Ding Ning hadn't appeared or sung rock from the beginning, her tomboy-style rock and roll might have become a sight to behold.

It's a pity that once "Blue Lotus" came out, there was nothing wrong with her.

Cao Liya?
Recently, she has been ranked second in popularity, but her performance on the spot has fluctuated, her shortcomings are obvious, and her popularity is as much as her controversy. If she wants to replace Ding Ning and become the iconic figure of this year's Young Singer Competition, she will have to lend her skills to Qiu Yiyi.

The rest of them, in his eyes, were even more unworthy of being on the stage, and they were not worthy of mentioning Ding Ning's shoes.

And how many viewers are willing to watch the games that are not interesting?
Now that the competition has progressed, after the advanced contestants are confirmed, the audience's sense of freshness to the new round of contestants has almost receded. support.

In the past few years, the contestants' attention was basically in the state of a hundred flowers blooming and a hundred schools of thought contending, but this year, Ding Ning is completely the leader. If Ding Ning leaves, the ratings will definitely be affected without even thinking about it.

Moreover, he had issued a military order with Ke Dechang before, agreeing that Ding Ning would definitely win the championship.

In such a situation, anyone can leave, except Ding Ning. Xue Xianzheng was full of urgency: "Your achievements are based on your strength, and no one will feel that there is any unfairness. It is irresponsible for you to withdraw now."

No one would blame him for being unfair. As for being irresponsible, the program and him are mutually exploiting each other. Since the program team had planned to deliberately target him before and he wanted to quit, there is no such thing as irresponsible.

You are only allowed to target me, and I am not allowed to withdraw. This is power.

Someone else might be intimidated by such an awe-inspiring reason, but Ding Ning felt very uncomfortable when he heard that Xue Xianzheng was pressing him with responsibility: "I am talking about this with Director Xue now out of a sense of responsibility. To be fair, I think Director Xue and everyone else are well aware of it."
