This star’s style is wrong

"The third and fourth place finishers in tonight's first round of competition have been announced, and then the first and second place finishers..."

Liu Silei glanced at the card and continued to announce: "This also means that the remaining singers whose results have not been announced will lose the opportunity to participate in the second round of competition if they fail to break into the top two.

“Tonight’s competition format is quite cruel, but isn’t that the charm of a competitive music variety show?

“Next, the audience votes for one of the two singers who will be announced will be very interesting.

"In fact, many viewers in front of the screen usually just watch the program silently and rarely participate in interaction and voting.

“However, tonight the singer made many viewers who had never voted before pick up their mobile phones and vote for him.

"And this singer also won the first place in the first round of tonight's competition thanks to the aroused passionate audience.

"Who is this singer?

"Let us congratulate..."

When Liu Silei said this, she raised her eyes and looked around, her last voice was long, and finally she called out two names: "Congratulations to Fang Xing and Huang Anhua, and congratulations to "Really Love You" for winning the first round of competition.

“This song not only received enthusiastic votes from audiences across the country, but also broke many records with votes from audiences in the Cantonese-speaking region.

"However, Fang Xing cannot let down his guard yet, because there is still a second round of competition. Whether he can maintain his advantage depends on his performance in the second round of competition."

The results are announced.

The model singers and supporting singers in the guest seats all had different expressions.

Zhang Huiying had such an expression on her face.

In fact, before the results were announced, she was not sure who had more votes, Tan Zhiguan or Fang Xing.

Because the song "Really Love You" is indeed very good, but Cantonese songs actually have a slight disadvantage in terms of audience base.

Therefore, the most critical thing about whether "Really Love You" can win is whether it can impress the Cantonese-speaking audience.

After listening to "True Love", Zhang Huiying felt that her heart was touched.

When she heard the result, she knew that the song had sung into the hearts of Cantonese-speaking audiences.

The Hong Kong Philharmonic also had a glorious era, but most of that generation of fans had already gotten married and started careers.

Even if this group of viewers who are married and have a career usually watch TV, they rarely post comments, comment or vote. Most of them just watch silently.

However, the reason for this is that it is difficult for the songs in current music variety shows to impress them.

The appearance of "Really Love You" and Huang Anhua awakened their youthful memories.

These viewers, who have a certain amount of life experience, don't care if they don't vote. Once they start voting, the power is very terrifying.

Therefore, it is not surprising that "Really Love You" ranked first in the first round.

…

After the results of the first round of competition were announced, the live broadcast barrage began to flood the screen:

[Okay, I actually got first place. 】

[I would like to call the combination of Huang Anhua and Fang Xing Wang Zha. 】

[I only give Weibo ten minutes to make "Really Love You" appear on the hot search list immediately, otherwise I will uninstall it directly. 】

["Really Love You" should have won the first place, if nothing else, another 100,000 votes would add to the fun. 】

【The trench is inhumane! 】

[Inhumanity +1]

After the live broadcast of the first round of competition, Feifan Entertainment and Penguin Video simultaneously released a pure enjoyment version of the first round of eight songs.

As the audience expected, "Really Love You" quickly became a trending topic on Weibo.

Although it is currently at the bottom of the hot search list, the growth rate of the hot search index is very scary.

Many viewers who watched the live broadcast felt that listening to "Really Love You" was not enough.

After all, some lyrics need to be understood carefully to understand their meaning.

Therefore, countless viewers flocked to major online platforms, clicked on the exclusive version of "Really Love You" and played the song repeatedly.

The more the audience listens to the song, the better it feels.

Many viewers also started to learn this song and said that it was easier to sing than "The Hard Sutra".

Subsequently, major online platforms began to launch a relay of cover songs.

[If I can’t learn “The Difficult Sutra to Sing”, can I still learn “Really Love You”? 】

…

Some people are happy and some are sad.

At the headquarters of Mailin Records, the top executives of the two major record companies and Pengcheng Capital gathered together. They originally wanted to control the direction of tonight's final and recommend Tan Zhiguan to win the championship.

In order to win the first round stably, Chen Lipeng even released one-third of his ticket holdings.

Originally, in his imagination, even if Tan Zhiguan and Qi Xiuna's duet "Tenderness on the Fingertips" could not win the first round, the difference in votes would not be too big.

Therefore, Chen Lipeng thought that by releasing one-third of the votes in the ticket warehouse, stability should be the first, and there would be no suspense.

However, when the results were announced, they exceeded everyone's expectations.

Chen Lipeng suspected that there was something wrong with the ticket warehouse and frowned at the secretary beside him.

The secretary had followed Chen Lipeng for many years and immediately knew what the boss meant.

She quickly went out to make a phone call to confirm the situation.

After not waiting long, the secretary came back and whispered in Chen Lipeng's ear: "Boss, there is no problem at the ticket warehouse. One-third of the tickets have indeed been released."

Xu Liren on the side put forward a guess: "Is it possible that the votes in the ticket bin were filtered out during the vote counting?"

The secretary replied with an affirmative expression: "No, the tickets in the ticket warehouse are all bought with real money. Although they are recharged through channels and have high discounts, every ticket costs money.

“It is impossible for the program producers to filter out these tickets, otherwise the company can initiate complaints and refunds after the program is over.

“Neither the program producers nor Penguin Video can filter these tickets.

“Besides, I checked with my friends at Feifan Entertainment and there is no problem with the number of votes.

"According to information from friends, the votes for "Really Love You" in the Cantonese region were very high. It seems that some viewers regarded it as watching Huang Anhua's concert and voted according to the ticket price."

The head producer of Mailin Records was relatively calm and said in a deep voice: "Actually, when I heard "Really Love You", I felt that the first round was not stable.

“However, even after releasing one-third of the votes, we still didn’t win. I didn’t expect that the gap would be so big.

“Although I didn’t secure first place in the first round, it’s not a big problem. The second round is the key.

"Winning second in the first round, then coming from behind to win the championship in the second round, this script is actually not bad."

Chen Lipeng looked very serious and asked in a deep voice: "Are you sure about the second round?"

Tonight's final is, on the surface, just a music variety show final.

However, behind the scenes is the struggle between the forces in the music industry.

Therefore, if Pengcheng Capital wants to continue to expand its influence in the music world, it must suppress Songshi Records.

Otherwise, in another two years of development, Songshi Records is likely to become the new top three, which will break the Chen family's control over the music scene.

Xu Shangyan tapped his fingers lightly on the table a few times and replied: "We are very sure about the songs in the second round. In fact, the songs in the first round have some restrictions in the selection because they have to fit the theme.

“The second round is different. There are no theme restrictions and there is a lot of room for play.

"There is absolutely no problem with the quality of this song that our two companies collaborated on. As long as there are no problems with the live performance, the second round should be stable."

This is not the first day Chen Lipeng has met Xu Shangyan.

In his impression, Xu Shangyan is the kind of person who speaks very cautiously. If he is not sure, he will never use a positive tone.

Since Xu Shangyan is confident in the second round of songs, the quality of the second round of songs must be very high.

In fact.

When Mailin Records and Puxiang Records cooperated to prepare songs, Chen Lipeng had no involvement.

He is the chairman of Pengcheng Capital. His job is to control the operation of capital and will not interfere in the music production of record companies.

Therefore, he has not heard what song Tan Zhiguan will sing in the second round tonight.

However, since Xu Shangyan was confident, he chose to believe it.

Moreover, the ticket warehouse prepared by Pengcheng Capital only has two-thirds of the votes left.

As long as these tickets are released at the last moment, they can definitely change the final outcome.

However, just to be on the safe side.

Chen Lipeng decided to ask for the data: "Xu Liren, don't you know the senior management of Penguin Video? Call and ask to see how big the difference is in the number of votes in the first round of competition."

On the stage, Liu Silei only announced the rankings of the first round of competition, but did not announce the specific number of votes.

Therefore, Chen Lipeng wanted to know the exact data so that he could have a sense of certainty.

Xu Liren nodded, took out his cell phone and went out to make a call.

Because of Pengcheng Capital's relationship, the senior executive of Penguin Video was very talkative.

Besides, it's just asking for some data, not asking him to cheat. This request is very simple.

The Penguin Video executive was naturally happy to receive this favor, so he checked the data and told Xu Liren.

Didn't have to wait long.

Xu Liren returned and said: "The difference in the number of votes is not big, the difference is 300,000 votes."

This difference is really not big.

However, the real difference in votes requires subtracting one-third of the votes from Pengcheng Capital's vote warehouse to be the real difference.

When Chen Lipeng heard this data, he calmed down and said, "If the difference is only 300,000 votes, it won't be a big problem."

He also felt it was a pity. If he had chosen to release half of the votes in the ticket warehouse, he would have won the first round.

However, the second round of the final is the key.

It is also a good choice to keep the ticket and wait until the critical moment in the second round to release it to kill the opponent in one fell swoop.

Chen Lipeng thought for a moment and then told his secretary: "To make sure nothing goes wrong, call us and ask them to fill up the ticket warehouse."

The secretary reminded: "Boss, if you want to increase the number of votes now, you can't use the channel discount. You can only buy it at the original price."

Chen Lipeng nodded: "It doesn't matter, just fill it up."

"Okay, I'll do it right away." The secretary agreed and went out to do the work.

…

the other side.

The top management of Songshi Records is also looking at the data of the finals.

Due to his good relationship with Feifan Entertainment, Liang Yusong can directly obtain the backend data.

If we inquire from insiders, it is not difficult to know what Mailin Records, Puxiang Records and Pengcheng Capital are doing behind the scenes.

Qiao Yinghong put down her mobile phone and said: "Mr. Liang, Pengcheng Capital has paid back the votes. Judging from their intentions, they are determined to win the championship. Do we want to follow the bet?"

In fact, Liang Yusong also sees clearly the current situation in the music world.

In the past, Liang Yusong would never have competed with Pu Xiang and Mailin.

Because there is no way to fight.

He was already over fifty when he joined forces with Shi Zhenhong to open Pine Rock Records.

For him, founding Songshi Records was a semi-retirement state, and he wanted to rely on Songshi Records to continue making music.

Before Fang Xing appeared, Songshi Records basically maintained this status, arranging a singer to release an album every year.

Songshi Records can barely be named among many record companies, but it has never become a competitor to big companies like Puxiang and Mailin.

The music circle also respects Liang Yusong's status in the music world, so they will not deliberately embarrass Songshi Records.

Songshi Records just occupies a place in the recording industry. It makes some money and plays music without any competition. It looks like a pension company.

This is also the reason why many singers choose to switch to other record companies after their contracts with Pine Rock Records end.

The previous Songshi Records were too good.

However, ever since Fang Xing appeared and joined Pine Rock Records.

Pine Stone Records was like a sleeping lion that began to rampage in the music industry.

In fact.

Liang Yusong didn't originally plan to make such a big move in the music world.

Although he signed Fang Xing into the company because of his ability, at the beginning he just wanted to cultivate a first-line male singer to fill the gap in male singers of Songshi Records.

When he first signed Fang Xing, Liang Yusong's thoughts were still the same as before. If he made music as a Buddhist, he could basically guarantee that he wouldn't starve to death, but he didn't consider competing with other big companies.

However, the development of things ran counter to Liang Yusong's thoughts.

After Fang Xing joined Songshi Records, he didn't need Songshi Records to compete at all. He could kill the charts quickly by just releasing a song.

The first song he released topped the charts, leaving no room for other record companies to breathe.

Pine Stone Records was pushed to the forefront in this passive way.

At the beginning, Liang Yusong just thought that it would be fine to let nature take its course.

However, when Puxiang Records, Mailin Records, and the capital behind them took the initiative to come to our door.

Liang Yusong also has a temper. Although he loses his temper as he gets older, his opponents are all around him. If he doesn't do something at this time, he is not a Buddha, but is too easy to bully.

After all, he has been in the music industry for most of his life, and Liang Yusong also has connections.

It was learned that Mailin, Puxiang and the capital behind them had joined forces to control the voting in the finals.

Liang Yusong called Shi Zhenhong: "Old Shi, you can't just sit here and do nothing. Song Shi may be trying to reach the top. What do you think?"

From playing music to starting a company, Shi Zhenhong actually had a bigger temper than Liang Yusong: "Needless to say, I'm ready. You can throw away the operating funds as you like. Since they are all going to hit the top, what's there to be afraid of? Just fight them."
