Island Tycoon

Chapter 416 The game is in progress (1)

"Can you make your moves a little easier? You still have the last 15 minutes to prepare."

"What are you looking at over there? Is the camera position right?"

"Is there any guest who hasn't come? The special guest hasn't arrived yet! Why don't you hurry up and call."

……

The time has come to the weekend, and today is the first broadcast of the first newcomer singing competition held by "Golden Songs".The on-site director kept urging the staff, causing employees in various positions to be overwhelmed.

"Do you think the black-faced god took aphrodisiacs today? I've never seen him show off so much." In order to vent their dissatisfaction, many employees secretly satirized the on-site director who was pointing fingers.

"Why else, for the sake of being superior." Taking advantage of the fact that the director's eyes were not on them, the staff gossiped: "You don't know who the special guest is tonight, do you?"

"I know, I heard that Ye Sheng will come over."

"That's why, you said, if he doesn't show up, how can he fall into Ye Sheng's eyes and become a film director?"

"I don't think so, right? Ye Sheng isn't here now, he's doing the best and Ye Sheng can't see it."

"Do you think it's too late to wait for Ye Sheng to show up? There are a lot of Ye Sheng's people here, so it's hard to change jobs if you just say something nice to him?"

"Stop talking, the black-faced god is here, hurry up and get to work."

The 'Black Faced God' came over and glared at them, then continued to direct the work on the spot.

In a short time, all the preparations before the broadcast of the show were completed.Two hosts, Wang Mingquan and Zeng Zhiwei, and four new mentors who are in charge of judging are also in place.

Ye Jingcheng, a special guest, was missing right now, but the on-site director was so anxious that he might not be able to come if something happened, so he would give himself a discount for his hard work tonight.

"Ye Sheng!"

"Ye Sheng!"

Just when the staff was about to call his office to inquire, Ye Jingcheng finally came to the scene with his secretary.

"Get ready to shoot." Ye Jingcheng also knew that it was almost time, so he sat down among the tutors without any nonsense, and the four newcomer tutors greeted him one after another.

After Ye Jingcheng responded, he paid attention to the tutor's plastic surgery. Among them were composers, musicians, and male and female singers, who were specially arranged for the show.These people are: Huang Zhan, Chen Xunqi, Xu Xiaofeng and Xu Guanjie.

Although Huang Zhan's character is not very good, and he is wretched and lustful, but he is indeed a master in composing and writing lyrics, otherwise he would not be called the four great talents of Hong Kong Island with Jin Yong and others.

Not to mention Chen Xunqi, who is recognized as an all-round genius in Hong Kong Island. He studied under the famous composer Wang Fuling, and can even handle a whole range of film-related jobs such as director, actor, producer, and soundtrack. His ability can be imagined to be strong.

The remaining Xu Guanjie and Xu Xiaofeng, both of whom have been famous singers for a long time, naturally have the qualifications to be mentors.

Among the few, Chen Xunqi and Huang Zhan were the best at talking. They didn't even agree on their remuneration in advance, and they had already agreed to attend the show.As for Xu Xiaofeng and Xu Guanjie, it was more difficult to invite, after all, they are famous singers for a long time.

Even for Ye Jingcheng's sake, they just agreed to appear on this show.As for the relevant personnel handing over to them, the agreed remuneration was earlier than the budget.Xu Xiaofeng's remuneration is 10 yuan per installment, which is about the same as her appearance fee for a concert.

And Xu Guanjie's influence in Hong Kong Island is even greater. In addition to creating a new school of Cantonese pop songs, he is also a box office panacea in the film industry.In addition to the recently released "Best Partner", 20 for the first issue is already the lowest price.

"There are still 5 minutes." The on-site director looked at his watch and reminded all those involved in the shooting.In fact, as soon as Ye Jingcheng arrived, it meant that there were no other problems, and the shooting could start at any time.

After 5 minutes, the two hosts were facing the camera and brought some opening remarks to the show.

"Everyone, good evening, everyone. Welcome to the first newcomer singing competition hosted by "Golden Songs". Before the competition begins, allow me to introduce several instructors and special guests for a minute and a half. They are ..."

Zeng Zhiwei and Wang Mingquan introduced everyone in turn, and then briefly explained the rules of the game.The rules are not as complicated as the talent shows of later generations. Contestants sing on stage respectively, and then they are scored by four instructors, and finally decide whether to stay or not based on the scores.

Like the swivel chairs of "The Voice of China", the links of mentor training were not added.Because talent shows like Hong Kong Island are still in the budding stage, it is not suitable to add too many colorful links for the time being.

"Okay, now let's invite our first player to come on stage. His name is Zhang Weijian, and the song he sang is "The World Is Like Chess." Wang Mingquan read the newspaper with a paper card.

……

……

……

Surprisingly, this player did not make it to the stage.Provoking the people present to look at each other, Zeng Zhiwei repeated: "Our players are invited to come on stage."

The viewers who are watching the program are even more optimistic. What is the situation now?An accident happened right after the show started, and even the contestants didn't show up.

To say that the happiest one is undoubtedly Li's TV station, which was just controlled by Qiu Degen, and now it is the company's executives who have changed their name to Golden TV.They also hope that TVB's program will have an accident, so that their golden channel will have a chance to grab more ratings.

Wang Mingquan has rich experience in hosting, and it is not uncommon for accidents to happen in the middle of the show. Soon she had the right to speak and said: "Since this contestant does not seize this opportunity, we will invite the second place..."

"Everyone, I'm sorry! I'm late!" Before Wang Mingquan called out the No.2 contestant, a figure suddenly ran in from outside the set, bowed to everyone present, and apologized.

However, his situation has already aroused dissatisfaction among many people. Xu Guanjie, who was sitting on the row of mentor seats, was the first to criticize: "Do you know how precious everyone's time is? If you don't have a reasonable Explaining, I think it will affect my rating of you, even if you sing well."

Xu Guanjie is absolutely qualified to say this, and he can even add another sentence, no matter how good your singing is, it is better than him?
Zhang Weijian's late arrival was not without reason, or it was a deliberate arrangement by the program crew including letting him appear first.Of course, not many people know about this matter, after all, a certain degree of confidentiality is required.

"Why are you late." Ye Jingcheng, who was sitting in the guest seat, gave the other party a step down.

"Because I... hesitated whether I should participate in this competition." Zhang Weijian said frankly.

"Your statement is a bit strange. You are the one who signed up to participate in the competition. Presumably no one will force you to participate, right? Then why are you hesitating now?" Huang Zhan joined in the questioning of Zhang Weijian.

"I... In fact, the current conditions of my family do not allow me to waste too much time. It may not be what I want to participate in the competition, but if I listen to my mother to go out and find a job as soon as possible, this will relieve the pressure on my family. the burden of..."

Zhang Weijian expressed his helplessness with a few words, and even shed tears of disappointment.If it were someone else who cried like this as soon as they came on stage, it would definitely make the audience feel contrived and false, and a bad one would even arouse the audience's disgust towards the show.

But Zhang Weijian is different. With the continuous improvement of living standards, most teenagers like him are still receiving compulsory education in school without any worries.

However, because of his family background, Zhang Weijian had no choice but to come out to earn tuition fees by himself and help with family expenses. There are people who have this situation, but it is not like him to stand up and let people understand.

From Ye Jingcheng, the special guest, to the staff of the program group, including most of the audience sitting in front of the TV, they fell silent for a while, listening quietly to the young man's confession.

"I'm sorry for my mother. I'm still self-willed at this time. I want to realize my ideal." Ten minutes later, Zhang Weijian took a deep breath and cleared up his messy mood.

Huang Zhan pointed to Zhang Weijian, and said: "Little brother, the road is your own. Others can only give you an opinion, and how to decide depends on your own ideas. You are not without brains, you have to understand what you need It's pointing, not others pointing at you, do you understand?"

Huang Zhan's words are a bit harsh, but his character is like this, his speech is always straightforward, and it is vulgar and hard to hear, otherwise he would not be called "unliterate".

And it's not that what he said is unreasonable. Compared with taking into account a person's feelings, his words are easier to be understood, and there are unnecessary thoughts to attack the other party.

"I also take back what I said just now, and I hope you will perform well next time." Xu Guanjie didn't address Zhang Weijian's lateness anymore, crossed his hands and thought about it.

"Come on." Xu Xiaofeng encouraged.

"Thank you teachers, thank you for giving me the chance. I hope you will like the next song." The mood has almost calmed down, and Zhang Weijian signaled the backstage staff to start the accompaniment.The opening said: ""The World Is Like Chess", I give it to everyone."

"This kid is quite good at choosing songs." Xu Guanjie said to Bu Wenzhan beside him with a growing smile when he heard that Zhang Weijian was about to sing his songs.

Bu Wenzhan gave him a blank look, as if to say something special.This seemingly intentional or unintentional action turned into envy and jealousy in the eyes of the audience.Variety shows need this kind of funny atmosphere, so as to drive the audience's emotions and desire to watch.

During the speech, Zhang Weijian has already started singing...

The hasty years, the world is like chess

Every game is weird

Showers, rain, personnel change every day

happy and sad

Enmity, love and hatred, the world is like chess
Every game is full of legends

If you frown and smile, it's hard to tell what's in your heart

like acting in front of the screen
