This star doesn’t work overtime

Now, the entire Internet is talking about this performance, and the popularity is once again catching up with last week's finals performance.

Mainly because last week's finals performance was so exciting that many young people in their teens and twenties finally saw a super high-level live performance...

The performance video has received billions of views in a week on Penguin Video, which shows how popular it is.

so.

Many audiences still have high expectations for this week's farewell performance.

On Weibo, the top ten most popular news are all related to this show, and most of them are related to Wang Cheng. The publicity for the National Day blockbusters has been overwhelmed and cannot be seen, which makes other people in the entire circle Celebrities and entertainers are feeling the pressure.

but……

They were somewhat relieved and relieved at this time.

This is the farewell performance of Tomorrow's Idol. After today's performance, this season's program will officially come to an end.

Far away in Beijing!

Spring Festival Gala program group.

Xie Xingfeng, Ma Jian, and another CCTV producer Zhou Xianfeng, the three of them were sitting in the office watching the live broadcast of Tomorrow's Idol!

Looking at Wen Yixiao performing on stage, her aura and temperament on stage made her look like a superstar. She suppressed Li Xingluo, a super star who had been in the industry for several years, like a passerby dancing with him. The three of them were amazed.

Zhou Xianfeng whispered: "This little girl from the Wen family has such a talent in literature and art. Now she is on the right track."

Ma Jian smiled bitterly and said, "I just have a bad temper!"

Zhou Xianfeng asked curiously: "What? You went to Nanyue last week and met Wang Cheng and Wen Yixiao, right? What was the result?"

Zhou Xianfeng is also a temporary producer at CCTV, but he usually does not participate in specific affairs. He only works in this position to brush up his qualifications and accumulate capital for future promotions. He only occasionally listens to news within the program team.

Therefore, he only knew that Xie Xingfeng and Ma Jian went to Nanyue to invite Wang Cheng and Wen Yixiao last week, but he did not know the specific events and follow-up.

Xie Xingfeng remained silent.

Ma Jian continued: "This girl Wen Yixiao is pursuing Wang Cheng!"

Zhou Xianfeng raised his eyebrows. The news in this circle has spread all over the world. He, a person who doesn't pay much attention to the gossip in the circle, knows that after all, the popularity of the two is at the peak of the sky. If this news is announced, I am afraid that there will be Let several social platforms be paralyzed.

So Zhou Xianfeng was not surprised by this and just asked: "Then what?"

Ma Jian: "Then, Wen Yixiao followed Wang Cheng completely. Wang Cheng promised to go to the Spring Festival Gala, so she would go. If Wang Cheng didn't agree, she wouldn't come either!"

Zhou Xianfeng frowned slightly: "So, they are together?"

Ma Jian shook his head: "No! Wang Cheng rejected her pursuit. In fact, in the Tomorrow Idol program group, Han Xiao was also pursuing Wang Cheng, but he was also rejected by Wang Cheng."

Zhou Xianfeng said in surprise: "Han Xiao? The granddaughter of Mr. Han, the master of calligraphy?"

Ma Jian nodded: "Yes!"

Zhou Xianfeng had never heard of this gossip.

Because the gossip about Wang Cheng and Wen Yixiao spread more widely, Han Xiao's influence was still more than one level lower than that of Wen Yixiao, so it did not reach his ears.

Zhou Xianfeng said in surprise: "Is Wang Cheng so charming?"

Ma Jian: "Didn't you see his performance last week?"

Zhou Xianfeng nodded: "Look!"

Ma Jian: "What do you think?"

Zhou Xianfeng still had a trace of shock in his eyes, and said truthfully: "The last song is shameless. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is the rock ceiling in the history of the Chinese music world!"

Ma Jian asked again: "What do you think of his appearance level after the mask falls off?"

Appearance level?

As a person behind the scenes in the system, Zhou Xianfeng didn't pay much attention to appearance. At that time, he just felt that the atmosphere was too shocking. However, he recalled the reaction of his daughter and son, who almost jumped up and screamed, and said: " Very outstanding..."

Ma Jian: "This week, I have repeatedly watched Wang Cheng's performance videos and reviews on the Internet. Zhou Chu, he can be said to be the ceiling of the Chinese music scene now! Moreover, several of the programs he performed are very suitable for us. The core purpose of promoting traditional culture and establishing cultural confidence has been advocated in recent years.”

Zhou Xianfeng looked serious and nodded: "Yes, the official media has named him twice to praise him. Our station is preparing a program to promote classical culture, and we also plan to invite him to perform. We have already issued a notice to Rubik's Cube Entertainment Invitation, no response yet.”

Ma Jian nodded: "So, if we can invite Wang Cheng to perform, and add Wen Yixiao, our Spring Festival Gala this year will definitely be the most exciting year in the past ten years, and it will perfectly fit in with current policies."

Zhou Xianfeng was thoughtful, then frowned and said, "But what should I do if he doesn't come? Where did he learn that weird schedule?"

Ma Jian also fell silent on this, unable to say anything.

Xie Xingfeng looked at the lively atmosphere of the live performance on the TV screen and suddenly said: "Zhou Chu, Ma Chu! You said, we will add an hour of warm-up performance between six and seven o'clock. After seven o'clock, The news and the live broadcast of the formal party at 8 o'clock will continue as usual, is it possible?"

This is the only feasible plan that Xie Xingfeng came up with after thinking about it this week.

It does not conflict with Wang Cheng’s work and rest schedule, and does not affect CCTV’s plan for the normal live broadcast sequence of New Year’s Eve...

Zhou Xianfeng and Ma Jian both looked at Xie Xingfeng in surprise.

As the leaders of the CCTV system, the two people have always believed in the principle of doing less and making less mistakes. If they can stay the same, it will be the same. It is best if they can follow the rules step by step. Anyway, the shrinking and downward trend of the TV market is a general trend. There is nothing they can do, and the superiors will not do it because of it. They are blamed for the Spring Festival Gala's declining ratings year after year.

Therefore, when they heard Xie Xingfeng's plan, they were immediately conflicted.

Ma Jian heard Xie Xingfeng mention it last time, and he refuted it at that time. At this time, he also said directly: "Director Xie, this is a live broadcast! We broadcast it for an hour in advance, and then stopped for an hour in the middle. What happened to the scene? deal with?"

Zhou Xianfeng frowned slightly and said, "This change is too big. It's not worth taking such a big risk just for Wang Cheng!"

We have tried to change the format of the program, change the stage style, etc. over the years, but even such changes are the result of the efforts of many people. They are not changed at once. Someone may have made them a few years ago. It was proposed, and it was finally implemented after several years of weighing, and the person who put forward the opinion is no longer on the program team...

The changes proposed by Xie Xingfeng now are really too big.

Xie Xingfeng nodded and said seriously: "I know, but if you don't change, how can you make a breakthrough? This is not for Wang Cheng alone, but for the hundreds of millions of people who support Wang Cheng! Have you seen the recent public opinion on the Internet? Hundreds of millions People are discussing Wang Cheng alone, and hundreds of millions of people are discussing Wen Yixiao. The video of the show he and Wen Yixiao performed last week has been viewed more than 50 to 6 billion times..."

"When we invited Wang Cheng, we invited Wen Yixiao. We can put their two performances within an hour from 6 to 7 o'clock to live broadcast the performances and make a single live broadcast of the two of them. The performance! It will not be placed in our official stage studio for the Spring Festival Gala, but placed outside, as the first live broadcast, just like the farewell performance of today’s idols of tomorrow.”

"In this way, we are replicating the finals showdown between Wang Cheng and Wen Yixiao last week!"

"Do you know what their ratings were last week? The peak rating was 5.2, and the average rating was 4.3. This is a miraculous rating! If such a performance is put on our Spring Festival Gala stage, how many ratings will it get? I dare not say that it will recover. The ratings have reached over 50% compared to 20 years ago, but there is a chance to return to over 20%!”

The office fell silent.

Ma Jian and Zhou Xianfeng were both thinking.

They were only interested in the figure of more than 20% ratings mentioned by Xie Xingfeng, and other content was automatically ignored!

This was the rating level of the Spring Festival Gala five or six years ago. Since it dropped below 20% six years ago, it has stabilized below 20% in the past few years, and it is still declining slowly. Last year, it was only 16%. Click around the ratings!

This process is almost irreversible.

Because they themselves know that today's young people are not very interested in TV programs themselves, and they do not have the habit of watching the Spring Festival Gala during the New Year like the older generation. Wouldn't it be nice to have the time to watch videos, read novels, and play games?

The ratings of the Spring Festival Gala will only get lower year by year.

if……

They can bring the ratings of the Spring Festival Gala back to the level of six years ago this year and go against the trend. That is definitely a huge achievement for them. It will be of huge benefit to their future promotions and is a great proof. their abilities.

Ma Jian did not speak, but looked at Zhou Xianfeng. Although both of them were at the department level, Zhou Xianfeng had more real power and a higher status in the station.

Zhou Xianfeng looked at Wen Yixiao who had finished the performance, thought for more than two minutes, and then said: "Director Xie, this is very difficult! I heard that this young man Wang Cheng is very difficult to get along with. He was only nineteen years old. It’s popular all over the country and it’s very arrogant, can you handle it by then?”

Xie Xingfeng recalled the cooperation between Wang Cheng and Tomorrow's Idol, and said: "Zhou Chu, Wang Cheng is not arrogant, he is just very withdrawn and doesn't like to deal with people! However, as long as the live broadcast time can be adjusted well and there is no conflict with him, there will be no problem. He is very serious about his work and has a very strong working ability. In this regard, you can just leave it to me."

Zhou Xianfeng still frowned and said softly: "The program team has just started preparations, and the program selection is still in progress. We are not in a hurry about Wang Cheng and Wen Yixiao. Let's take a look at the programs prepared by others first... "

Xie Xingfeng nodded and sighed in his heart.

He knew that the two leaders within the system still did not dare to do such risky behavior easily.

If the selection of the program goes well and the programs prepared by other actors and artists are outstanding enough and can be compared with Wang Cheng's previous classic performances, then Zhou Xianfeng may not agree to this matter.

However, if the performances prepared by other actors and artists cannot compare with Wang Cheng's performance on Tomorrow's Idol!

Then, Xie Xingfeng would be confident to convince Zhou Xianfeng.

after all……

CCTV Spring Festival Gala still has its own pride.

If this year's Spring Festival Gala performance is not as exciting as a popular talent show, it will really be a failure, and everyone from top to bottom will be questioned about their ability to work.

Coupled with the temptation of a ratings of more than 20%!

Xie Xingfeng feels that the success rate will be high by then.

…………

Show scene.

Wen Yixiao's performance has ended.

Liu Shengjie, who was sitting in the second row of the auditorium, said with some regret: "It will be difficult to find a genius like Wen Yixiao in the future."

He felt a little regretful and reluctant when he thought that his cooperation with Wen Yixiao had ended.

Powerful singers are eager to cooperate with top gold medal producers, but top gold medal producers are also eager to cooperate with truly powerful and talented people.

The two sides complement each other and achieve each other's success.

Liang Xi smiled and said, "If you don't want to give up, just continue to cooperate. Hasn't Penguin Entertainment already sent out an invitation? I have accepted it and will sign the contract in two days."

Penguin Entertainment has issued a new cooperation contract to Liu Shengjie and Liang Xi. Next, they will create a solo album tailored for Wen Yixiao, which will also be Wen Yixiao's first album.

Penguin Entertainment will do this at all costs. Liu Shengjie and Liang Xi, two gold medal producers and top creators who have been collaborating with Wen Yixiao, are among the invitations, and they are giving the top quotations currently.

At the same time, invitations were also sent to two other creators and the top MV team, striving to make Wen Yixiao's first album a classic.

Liu Shengjie was silent and did not speak. He did not want to tie himself to Penguin Entertainment. He had always liked freedom. He would cooperate with whomever he wanted and would not serve a company alone.

Kong Changxing, who was standing next to him, said: "I have also been collecting works for Du Wei. I plan to start working on a new album in a week and release it within half a year!"

Releasing an album within half a year is already fast in today's Chinese music scene.

Ordinary singers may not be able to release an album in a year or two, but it is good to release a song in half a year...

It takes so long to make an album, and people have already done two or three variety shows, making far more money than just one album.

but……

Now that the Chinese music market is booming, the income from releasing new songs and albums has greatly increased. There will definitely be more people releasing songs and albums in the future!

Liu Shengjie looked at Kong Changxing, a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes, and said with a smile: "Then we will release the album at the same time!"

A smile emerged from the corner of Kong Changxing's mouth: "Okay."

Both of them have a competitive mentality in their hearts. They want to prove themselves in terms of album sales, prove that they are better in music, and prove that they can reach the top in the new era.

but……

Liang Xi whispered: "I wonder if Wang Cheng will produce a new album by then? At his speed, how long will it take to complete an album?"

Liu Shengjie and Kong Changxing were both surprised, and then fell silent. Thinking of the nineteen-year-old boy, they suddenly felt that the competition between them was a bit boring.

It's like novices pecking each other.

Several performances ended one after another, but the atmosphere at the scene was a bit quiet, not as high as the atmosphere at the opening.

Although the subsequent performances by the teams and guests were also very exciting and could be regarded as the finale of other variety shows, they were still a level lower than Wen Yixiao who opened the show.

Whether it was the audience at the scene or in front of many TV sets, their horizons and aesthetics were broadened by Wang Cheng and Wen Yixiao's performances, and ordinary performances could not attract them.

fine.

The Pink Era girl group appeared and ignited the atmosphere again.

As soon as Bae Zhuyan, Lisa, Jinny, and Lin Xi appeared on the stage, the atmosphere on the stage changed. After all, the four of them are a world-class girl group. They have rich experience in performing on big stages, and their accumulated stage aura is also extremely strong. Although they sing Everyone didn't understand the English song very well, but the rhythm of the song and the sexy and hot dance of the four people made everyone like it very much.

Many spectators stood up and waved their light sticks, and enthusiastic cheers broke out one after another.

Subsequently, the performances by Ma Yunfei and Yu Huaying were a bit mediocre compared to the previous pink era, and once again the atmosphere at the scene cooled down slightly.

After the performance, Yu Huaying and Ma Yunfei didn't look very good. Although they got huge exposure on the stage, they performed after the pink era, and Du followed them on the stage. only.

Comparing the before and after, Yu Huaying and Ma Yunfei seemed to have become cannon fodder and had no effect on the scene. Maybe everyone will not remember their performance.

really……

Then Du Wei's appearance made the atmosphere lively again.

Because what Du Wei sang this time was actually a rock work. He played skillfully with a guitar on his back, and his high-pitched singing voice made many people stand up and shout excitedly.

Liu Ziyu and Zhu Ziqi sat together and shouted along with everyone.

Liu Ziyu said loudly: "Tonight's performance is the most lively performance I have seen in recent years. However, it is still not as exciting as Wang Cheng's performance last week."

Zhu Ziqi stared at Du Wei. She also longed for such a big stage performance opportunity, rocking and rolling on it. Unfortunately, she lost to Wen Yixiao and missed it. If she had known that the idol stage of tomorrow would be such a huge opportunity, she would still be able to When she met Wang Cheng, she would have tried her best to fight for Wen Yixiao.

To this day, Zhu Ziqi still believes that she has a chance to win against Wen Yixiao if she gives her best.

After Du Wei ended, it was the Ocean Girls group from Nanyang.

Li Canghai and Li Qiushui.

Zhu Ziqi looked at the two people closely. She also knew that Wang Cheng signed the twins' programs, so she was very curious and envious of them.

Li Canghai and Li Qiushui are not as sexy and hot as in the pink era, they are as quiet as water. The elder sister Li Canghai is wearing a blue dress, and the younger sister Li Qiushui is wearing a white dress. They don't dance much, they just stand on the stage holding hands and singing. Song……

However, the water-like singing made everyone's eyes brighten up.

Liu Shengjie, Kong Changxing, and Liang Xi looked at the two people on the stage with their eyes slightly widened.

Kong Changxing murmured in a low voice: "It really makes sense that these two sisters are popular all over the Southeast Asia. Their voice talent is not inferior to that of Wen Yixiao."

Liu Shengjie and Liang Xi both nodded in agreement!

Wang Cheng, who was reading a book in the background, also looked up at the live broadcast screen. Looking at the faces of the two Qingxia sisters, their singing voices and temperament styles were very similar to the group in Hong Kong Island that they called twins instead of twins in their memory. No, the voices and The singing skills are still above that of the twins, basically not inferior to Wen Yixiao.

Not far away, Wen Yixiao saw Wang Cheng, who had been reading, suddenly raising his head to watch the performance of Ocean Girls. A trace of envy emerged in his heart again, and he looked at the live broadcast screen, frowning slightly!

Bagua teammate whispered: "Veteran cadres really pay attention to Li Canghai and the others!"

Song Xue covered her mouth and asked her to quiet down.

but……

Han Xiao asked Wang Cheng directly: "Wang Cheng, what do you think of them?"

Wang Cheng didn't shy away and said directly: "Very good, great potential!"

With the good looks and temperament of Sister Qingxia, the blessing of real twins, and top-notch singing ability and talent, especially since they are Chinese and sing Chinese songs, it is difficult for them to become popular in China.

Maybe, they will be the most successful among the three major girl groups coming to China this time.

However, after Wang Cheng finished speaking, he stopped reading and continued to look at the book in his hand.

After a while, Li Canghai and Li Qiushui walked in excitedly, their faces flushed with excitement, and there were constant shouts and screams of excitement outside, which were their trophies.

They didn't expect that their performance would receive such a big response.

The two of them walked in and immediately glanced at Wang Cheng. They wanted to go up and talk to Wang Cheng and ask him what he thought of them. However, there were too many people here and they were afraid of being rejected by Wang Cheng, so they still forced themselves. Hold it back.

Then, after two more performances by other teams, the island nation’s number one girl group, Flame Youth, took the stage to perform.

Haruko Nakamori, Chiyuki Amuro, Shizuka Hanazawa, and Maho Ishihara carefully prepared this performance and brought out their best performance styles. Each person cosplayed a popular island country anime image, matching many people's The familiar anime music and the four people’s carefully choreographed dance instantly ignited the atmosphere of the scene...

Many anime fans in the audience sang along.

After the four people finished their performance, they walked in and looked at Wang Cheng. When they saw that Wang Cheng didn't look at them, the four of them had obvious disappointment on their faces!

Shizuka Hanazawa murmured in a low voice: "Did Mr. Wang Cheng watch our performance?"

The other three people also wanted to know, but no one could answer them. It was impossible for them to ask other people present this question...

After another performance by a team that no one paid much attention to, the atmosphere outside suddenly became lively!

Because tonight's performance is coming to an end.

Finally it was Wang Cheng's turn to perform.

Wang Cheng put down the book, picked up the thermos cup and took a sip of water, then stood up slowly.

Han Xiao, Huang Bin, and Mo Bailin also hurriedly stood up.

All the other trainees and guests looked at Wang Cheng with complex expressions of envy and expectation!

Wang Cheng didn't pay attention to their looks, put on his mask, and then walked out first, followed closely by Han Xiao and Huang Bin.

Guo Shouxin and Liu Jiahui in the back office finally breathed a sigh of relief, their eyes full of anticipation.

The ups and downs on the ratings report just now put a lot of pressure on their hearts.

Now, they just hope that Wang Cheng's performance can cure their psychological anxiety...
