Shattering the talent show script, sweeping the world film scene

What truly transformed the relationship between Hengxing Gravity from "first-generation star couple" to "second-generation star rivals" came with the Bronze Age Award results being a foregone conclusion.

"I hereby announce that the winner of this year's Bronze Music Award for Best Single is Xie Xingyan!"

"After extensive discussions among the judges and statistical analysis of online data, we have decided to award Xie Xingyan this prize for his excellent musical score, lyrics, and vocals in this song, making him one of the few singers who can create and perform in one.

Mel and Lin Sen sighed together in disappointment at their defeat.

The singers around him looked at him with complicated expressions, and he felt uneasy.

But since they've made it so clear—"We Owe Each Other Nothing"—with lyrics, music, and vocals all written and performed by Xie Xingyan, that's already an extra point for him.

Thinking about it this way, it seems like I can comfort myself.

Xie Xingyan stood up excitedly in front of the camera, and couldn't help but turn her head to look at Jiangxi Heng next to her. Her eyelashes fluttered and trembled twice, and then immediately turned into a cold and stern gaze.

Xie Fen: Hahaha, we won!

Jiang fans: What's there to be proud of? Isn't it just that you won because of your integrated creative approach?

Passerby: They really are at odds. The first thing they did after hearing about the award was to provoke each other.

CP fans: This is not a provocation!

clap clap clap!

Applause erupted from the side, and then all the singers in the group applauded for the young artist.

As Xie Xingyan went on stage to accept the award, Ling Wushuang said, "It's a pity, this trip was for nothing. I always said we should have made it into an album. How about we work on it when we get back?"

Jiangxi Heng pondered, "Maybe I should wait until my singing improves a bit more. Won't an album I release now just become a black mark on my record?"

Ling Wushuang was surprised and remained silent.

Another reason preventing the song from becoming an album is that Jiangxi Heng does not accept technical audio editing.

Therefore, the versions of songs available online are always the initial few versions.

4399 Cricket: [It would have been easier to improve by spending a few hundred thousand more civilization points.]

Jiangxi Heng sighed: "Xiao Jiu, you've changed."

【what? 】

"You're no longer the thrifty and hardworking Xiao Jiu."

4399: […]

It decided not to tell the host that the people who were always arguing and bickering behind his back were either die-hard fans of his alternate identity or fans of the original owner's upbringing, but now they had become his die-hard fans.

Now both of these fans have joined Huanyu.

……

The news that Jiangxi Heng lost the bronze award drew applause and cheers from many people.

In particular, Fengmang Films even posted a witty remark on its official Weibo account: "If you're a film and television company, just focus on making good films and television. It's proven that it's not easy to switch industries. It's already quite an achievement to be able to find a path in one direction. Don't be greedy and try to swallow an elephant, ending up with nothing."

Jiangxi Heng also responded on its official Weibo account: As expected of a middle-aged company that has been established for thirty years, it has a strong fatherly vibe.

Of course, some companies were genuinely trying to comfort Jiangxi Heng.

For example, at Tianlang Films, Bi Shejie said, "Want to come to Hong Kong to participate in a music awards ceremony? We have a lot of pretty girls here, let me introduce you."

This treats Jiangxi Heng as both a peer and a junior.

Jiangxi Heng was both amused and exasperated, and politely declined.

For example, when one of their artists won an award, they were proud but also humbly said, "Xingyan still needs to work hard. Thank you to all the teachers for your encouragement."

For example, on the Tomato platform, Song Zhiyue, representing the platform, offered words of encouragement: "Not winning an award does not mean that the work is not excellent. It is precisely because of the gathering of talents this year that everyone's true strength has been revealed. I would like to formally invite President Jiang and Mr. Jin to write a song for our two singers."

"I've always felt that Song's production skills are being wasted on the Tomato platform, producing short variety shows."

"What do you mean?" Ling Wushuang smiled.

Jiangxi Heng pushed up his work glasses: "Didn't I say a while ago that I wanted to start a variety show department? I'm willing to hire Producer Song with a million-dollar annual salary."

The two colluded and hit it off immediately.

The film and television division of Huanyu has already developed into a self-contained system.

The directing team, represented by Lin Tang, consists of three teams: Lin Tang and his former apprentice, who happens to be a man and a woman.

Generally, Lin Tang mainly works on films by Jiangxi Heng, but once Jiangxi Heng's films are finished, he will take the opportunity to visit the film crews of his two apprentices to provide technical guidance.

The male apprentice mainly directs TV dramas; the recent drama "Shared Apartment" was completed under his master's guidance. The female apprentice is responsible for filming Nie Mingzhu and Shen Hanyi's new movie.

Besides Lin Tang, Monchi is the head of the production coordinators. He oversees the production coordinators of any film crew, and above the production coordinators is the producer.

In other words, Song Zhiyue was superior to him.

However, when Jiangxi Heng hired Meng Qi, he said he would not block Meng Qi's career path. Therefore, Meng Qi was only responsible for the overall coordination of film and television production teams, while Song Zhiyue opened a separate variety show department to be responsible for the production coordination of variety shows.

After Lin Sen and Mel joined Universe, they needed to establish a music department. The general manager of this department was Ling Wushuang, who happened to be knowledgeable in music and dance and could directly manage singers and idols in the future.

At this point, the three major parts of the universe have begun to take shape.

"What kind of variety show are you making?" Ling Wushuang asked the most crucial question.

Jiangxi Heng slowly took out a document: "Actor Training Class. It's perfect for training the artists who have just been recruited by the company. We'll hire a few teachers to train them so they can improve through learning and gain insights through practical experience."

One hundred artists are placed in a closed training space and compete in each episode according to a given script. The group with the highest score advances, while the group with the lowest score is eliminated, and so on, to select the best performer.

This variety show plan was also purchased by Jiangxi Heng using his civilization points.

The company provides funding, recording venues, and a recording crew. There will be competition among internal artists, and a new batch of external artists will be recruited.

"I also have ideas for variety show directing. What do you think of director Cai Fu?"

Ling Wushuang looked up: "Director Cai? He's always been making idol talent shows, but it seems like he hasn't produced any shows in the last two years."

"Yes, so I'm planning to poach him too."

Jiangxi Heng thought of the people he had met in the talent agency. Apart from the one surnamed Song, many others had helped him build a stepping stone on his road to fame.

"And Wang Tengteng, this assistant director, should be able to handle the job on his own now, right? And Wang Ji, the screenwriter, he specializes in variety show scripts."

"But the script for your 'Actor Training Class' is very detailed."

Jiangxi Heng paused for half a second when asked the question: "...If it goes well, we can have a second and third season. We can't keep doing the same thing every season without any innovation."

Ling Wushuang raised her hand: "Okay, I know you're nostalgic."

Nostalgia?

Jiangxi Heng was slightly taken aback, then lowered his eyes to think.

Actually, he doesn't like taking photos, nor does he write diaries or anything like that.

The few group photos that exist are almost all related to Xie Xingyan, and the sentimental comments posted on Weibo are also few and far between.

He doesn't dwell on the past.

He only thinks of those who were kind to him.
