Rebirth: Uranus Superstar

Chapter 263

Jiangnan Satellite TV.

Channel director Liang Youqi walked out of the director's office with a list of personnel in his hand.

A colleague next to him patted him on the shoulder comfortingly: "I know you've been under a lot of pressure recently, but the reason isn't your fault, it's all due to the contestants. These singers don't have the spirit of a contract at all..."

Liang Youqi smiled wryly, and waved his hand to indicate that the other party does not need to comfort him.

Whether it's "The King of Masked Singer" or other variety shows, it happens from time to time for big-name singers to withdraw from competitions and ask for leave, not to mention the super-top players like King Lanling and Angry King Kong.

Yes, during the recording of the No.14 program, due to the declining ratings and other reasons, Angry King Kong actually asked for leave to leave.

This is tantamount to a bolt from the blue for the entire program group.

The departure of King Lanling has already halved the ratings of the entire show.

Angry King Kong leaves again, "The King of Masked Singer" may exist in name only.

But if you think about it carefully, you can't blame Angry King Kong for doing this.

Because from the first issue, until the No.13 issue, for anyone, the threshold of excitement will be weakened.

To put it simply, today's "King of Masked Singer" is no longer challenging for seniors like Angry King Kong.

Especially after King Lanling left, Angry King Kong had no opponents. He pushed all the way, and the momentum and prestige accumulated made it possible for Angry King Kong to win more than half of the votes even if he stood still.

Angry King Kong does not lack this exposure.

So after the No.13 recording ended, I expressed my intention to leave.

Although the program team repeatedly persuaded him to stay, Angry King Kong insisted on his own opinion.

In the end, it was because the head of the station, Shang Zhi, came forward in person and had a conversation with Angry King Kong, which made Angry King Kong stay.

But there are requirements for Angry King Kong to stay.

Or, King Lanling must return immediately.

Or, the program team traveled across the ocean to find the real world's top singers to compete, instead of just being confined to China.

In China, looking around, Angry King Kong has almost no opponents.

He wanted a certain challenge.

Otherwise, life will be boring.

Shang Zhi agreed to this, and readily accepted the list provided by Angry King Kong.

There are a total of six singers on the list, many of whom are world-famous singers, such as the North American country singer, Susan Whitt.

There is also Martin Bryan, a singer who is not very popular in China, but is a national treasure in his own country, Kazakhstan.

Or Takashi Kimura, who is known as the No. [-] pop king in the contemporary era, and Takahashi Yoko, the No. [-] soprano in Neon.

Even bravely ventured into North America, Howard Carter, known as South Africa's greatest singer, and so on.

It's all on the list of lists.

When seeing these names, Shang Zhi's reaction was flat, because he didn't know what these people represented.

But Liang Youqi, who is familiar with the entertainment industry, gasped.

Under Shang Zhi's kind inquiry, Liang Youqi had no choice but to bite the bullet and agree.

"Here's the list."

Liang Youqi called all the members of the director team of "The King of Masked Singer" and handed the invitation list he just got to the director Liao Yuan.

After reading it, Liao Yuan closed his eyes and didn't say a word for a long time.

Then he handed the list to the assistant director Shi Zhengyang.

After watching it, Shi Zhengyang became short of breath, "It's not that we haven't invited these singers before, but since Mickey's defeat, these people have declined all invitations at all. After all, strictly speaking, although they are very strong , but in terms of popularity, some people are actually not as good as Mickey, and now that Mickey has been banned, why would they find themselves uncomfortable?"

"Really invited?" Liang Youqi asked suspiciously, he didn't believe it.

Shi Zhengyang glanced at the list again: "At least half of them have been invited."

"How did you invite me?" Liang Youqi asked again.

Shi Zhengyang paused, and said, "Sent an email to their manager."

Liang Youqi sighed: "Sincerity is not enough, "The King of Masked Singer" is now the most popular program in China, and its influence spreads all over the world. It is not only broadcast in China, but also can be watched in many countries, even if it is only one round You can also accumulate huge popularity.”

"And, no one has trouble with money."

Liang Youqi continued: "Give them a three-fold increase in pay, and all board and lodging for the round trip. Zhengyang, you personally lead the team to invite them."

"This……"

Shi Zhengyang's face collapsed, "No, Mr. Liang, the singers on this list live in different places. I will invite them one by one. It means that I have to travel all over the world..."

Liang Youqi's expression turned serious, and he wanted to reprimand him.

Liao Yuan couldn't stand it anymore, it was too embarrassing.

So he opened his mouth and said, "Let's direct the group to act in batches, and I will go there myself."

"What?" Everyone around was taken aback.

Even Liang Youqi was a little surprised. Liao Yuan is now considered a very prestigious and status director in the industry, especially after directing "The King of Masked Singer", he became famous in the first battle, and his worth is not lower than some first-line artists.

Liao Yuan pointed to a name on the list: "This Kazakh singer named Martin Bryan has a temper and arrogance, and is involved in scandals. He was considered at the beginning, but because of the rumors, he did not get along with him. touch."

"What rumor?" Liang Youqi asked.

Liao Yuan thought for a while and said, "It seems to be domestic violence after marriage, and now I am suing for divorce."

Everyone took a deep breath.

After Liao Yuan finished speaking, he pointed to another name: "The Maple Leaf country singer in North America is also very tempered. If you want to invite her, the basic food, clothing, housing and transportation are all included, and everything is the best. It cannot be less than 1000 million RMB."

Everyone looked over and saw the name "Susan Whitt".

The female singer of Maple Leaf Country is known as the number one country pop queen in North America. She has unparalleled popularity and can be called the North American version of King Lanling. She usually doesn't participate in competitive shows.

Because its popularity in North America is so high, there is no need for people to go to China to make a living.

In addition, the other four people on the list are more or less well-behaved.

"The list given by Angry King Kong is not simple at all!"

Liao Yuan sighed: "But that's fine, the finals will be here soon, if there is no difficulty in competitive competitions, then there will be too few things to watch, I think this is also the main reason for the decline in ratings, of course, the biggest reason, Probably because of King Lanling's departure, I have to reflect on this point."

Everyone sighed a little, the popularity of "The King of Masked Singer" seemed to be still in front of them, and even killed CCTV, what a glory.

And now...

"When will King Lanling return?" Liang Youqi asked suddenly.

Liao Yuan said: "The last finals."

"There are still four or five episodes before the finals!"

Liang Youqi immediately slapped the table: "No, let him come back early. Didn't he just release his new album? His grades are said to be very good. He can't do without the help of our Jiangnan Satellite TV. If he didn't "The King of Masked Singer" program platform, even if he can become popular, it still needs a huge time cost. Now that the program group is in trouble, can he just watch it? Doesn't he become a white-eyed wolf?"

"Let Director Gu of the Copyright Purchasing Department discuss it in person."
