This star is wrong

Chapter 268 Old Musician's Temperament

"The third and No.4 of the first round of competition tonight have been announced, and the next one is the first and No.2..."

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

"Tonight's competition system is quite cruel, but isn't this the charm of competitive music variety shows?
"Next, the two singers who will announce their results, the audience vote for one of them is very interesting.

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

"However, this singer tonight made many viewers who have never voted before pick up their mobile phones and vote for him.

"And this singer also won No.1 in the first round of competition tonight by relying on these aroused audiences.

"Who is this singer?

"Let's congratulate..."

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

"This song not only received enthusiastic votes from audiences all over the country, but also broke many records in Cantonese-speaking audiences.

"However, Fang Xing can't relax his vigilance yet, because there is still a second round of competition. Whether he can maintain his advantage will depend on his performance in the second round."

The results are announced.

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

Zhang Huiying showed 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 little disadvantage in terms of audience base.

Therefore, whether "Really Love You" can win or not depends on whether it can impress audiences in Cantonese-speaking regions.

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

When she heard the result, she knew that the song had entered the hearts of the Cantonese-speaking audience.

The Hong Kong Philharmonic also had a glorious era, but most of the fans of that generation have already married and established businesses.

This part of the audience who has a family and a career, even if they usually watch TV, seldom post comments, bullet screens and votes, and most of them just watch silently.

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

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

These viewers who have a certain life experience, don't vote, once they start voting, the power is very terrifying.

Therefore, it is not surprising that "Really Love You" was able to rank first in the first round.

……

After the results of the first round of competition were announced, the live barrage began to flash:
[Okay, I actually took the first place. 】

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

[I only give Weibo 10 minutes to make "Really Love You" appear on the trending searches immediately, otherwise I will uninstall it directly. 】

["Really Love You" should take the first place, among other things, another [-] votes will add to the fun. 】

[The trench is inhumane! 】

[Treat no humanity +1]

After the live broadcast of the first round of competitions, Feifan Entertainment and Penguin Video simultaneously released a pure 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 temporarily at the bottom of the hot search list, the growth rate of the hot search index is terrifying.

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

After all, some lyrics need to be carefully experienced to understand the meaning.

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

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

There are also many viewers who started to learn this song, and said that this song is easier to sing than "The Sutra of Difficult to Read".

Subsequently, major network platforms began to set off a cover relay.

[If I can't learn the "Difficult to Sing Sutra", can I still not learn "I Really Love You"? 】

……

Some people are happy but others are sad.

At the headquarters of Mailin Records, the top management of the two major record companies and Pengcheng Capital got together. They originally wanted to control the direction of tonight's finals and push Tan Zhiguan to win the championship.

In order to win the first round steadily, Chen Lipeng even released a third of the votes.

Originally, in his vision, if Tan Zhiguan and Qi Xiuna sang "The Tenderness of Fingertips" together, even if they couldn't securely win the first round, the difference in votes would not be too big.

Therefore, Chen Lipeng thought that releasing one-third of the votes in the ticket pool should be stable first, without any suspense.

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

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

The secretary has been with Chen Lipeng for many years, and immediately knows what the boss means.

She hurried out and called to confirm the situation.

After a short wait, the secretary came back and whispered in Chen Lipeng's ear, "Boss, there is no problem with the ticket warehouse. One third of the tickets have indeed been released."

Xu Liren on the side made a guess: "Is it possible that the votes in the ticket warehouse were filtered out when the votes were counted?"

The secretary replied with a positive expression: "No, the tickets in the ticket warehouse are all bought with real money. Although they are recharged through channels and there are high discounts, each ticket is paid for.

"It is impossible for the show producers to filter out these tickets, otherwise, after the show ends, the company can initiate complaints and refunds.

"Neither the program producers nor Penguin Video can filter these votes.

"Besides, I have inquired with friends from Feifan Entertainment, and there is no problem with the number of votes.

"According to the information disclosed by my friend, the votes for "Really Love You" in the Cantonese-speaking region are very high. It seems that some viewers voted according to the ticket price as they were watching Huang Anhua's concert."

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, after releasing one-third of the votes, I still didn't win. I didn't expect that the gap would be so big.

"Although the first round did not secure the first place, it is not a big problem, the second round is the key.

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

Chen Lipeng's expression was very serious, and he asked in a deep voice, "Are you sure about the second round?"

On the surface, tonight's final was just the final of a music variety show.

However, behind it is the wrestling between music forces.

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

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

Xu Shangyan tapped his fingers on the table a few times, and replied: "We are very sure about the second round of songs, but in fact, the first round of songs has restrictions on the selection of songs because they must fit the theme.

"The second round is different, there is no theme limit, and there is a lot of room to play.

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

It was not the first day Chen Lipeng knew 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 an affirmative tone.

Since Xu Shangyan has confidence 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 collaborated to prepare the song, Chen Lipeng did not intervene.

He is the chairman of Pengcheng Capital, and his job is to control the operation of the capital, and he will not intervene in the music production of the record company.

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

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

Moreover, there are two-thirds of the votes left in the ticket warehouse prepared by Pengcheng Capital.

As long as these tickets are released at the last minute, it will definitely change the final outcome.

However, just to be on the safe side.

Chen Lipeng still decided to ask about the statistics: "Xu Liren, don't you know the executives of Penguin Video? Call and ask to see how far the votes for the first round of competition are."

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

Therefore, Chen Lipeng wanted to know the exact data, so that he could have a bottom line in his heart.

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

With the relationship of Pengcheng Capital, the senior executive of Penguin Video is very easy to talk to.

Besides, just asking for some data, not asking him to cheat, this request is very simple.

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

It didn't take long.

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

The gap is really not that big.

However, the real difference in the number of votes is to subtract one-third of the votes of Pengcheng Capital's vote warehouse.

Chen Lipeng calmed down when he heard the data, and said, "If the difference is only 300,000 votes, it's not a big problem."

He also felt that it was a pity that if he had chosen to release half of the tickets 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 tickets and wait until the second round is critical to release them in one fell swoop.

Chen Lipeng thought about it for a moment, then told his secretary: "To ensure everything is safe, call 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 channel discounts, you can only buy at the original price."

Chen Lipeng nodded: "It's okay, fill it up."

"Okay, I'll do it right away." The secretary promised, and went out to do things.

……

the other side.

The executives of Songshi Records are also staring at the final data.

Due to the good relationship with Feifan Entertainment, Liang Yusong can directly get the background data.

If you 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 phone and said, "Mr. Liang, Pengcheng Capital has made up the ticket. Seeing what they mean, they are determined to win the championship. Shall we call?"

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

If it was before, Liang Yusong would not have competed with Puxiang and Mai Lin at all.

Because you can't even fight.

He was over fifty years old when he came out to open Songshi Records as a joint venture with Shi Zhenhong.

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

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

Songshi Records can barely be called a name among many record companies, but it will never become a competitor of such big companies as Puxiang and Mailin.

The music circle also respects Liang Yusong's status in the music scene, so he will not intentionally embarrass Songshi Records.

In this way, Songshi Records occupies a place in the record industry in an ordinary way. It does not fight or grab, earns some money, plays music, and looks like a pension company.

This is also the reason why many singers choose to switch to other record companies after the contract with Songshi Records ends.

The previous Songshi records were too Buddha.

However, since Fang Xing appeared and joined Songshi Records.

Like a lion waking up, Songshi Records began to rampage in the music circle.

In fact.

Liang Yusong didn't intend to make such a big move in the music scene.

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

When he just signed Xiang Xing, Liang Yusong's thinking was still the same as before. Making music from Buddhism can basically guarantee that he will not starve to death, but he doesn't consider competing with other big companies.

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

After Fang Xing joined Songshi Records, he didn't need Songshi Records to compete hard at all, just posting a random song can quickly kill the charts.

After releasing one song, it dominates the charts, leaving no room for other record companies to breathe.

Songshi Records was passively pushed to the forefront.

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

However, when Puxiang Records, Mai Lin Records, and the capital behind them came to them on their own initiative.

Liang Yusong also has a temper. Although when he gets older, he doesn't lose his temper in pieces, but his opponents are attacking him. If he doesn't do something at this time, he is not a Buddha, but too easy to bully.

In any case, he has been in the music industry for most of his life, and Liang Yusong also has connections.

It is learned that Mai Lin, Puxiang and the capital behind them have teamed up to control the voting in the final.

Liang Yusong made a phone call to Shi Zhenhong: "Old Shi, you can't just sit and do nothing. Songshi may be going to the summit, what do you think?"

From playing music to starting a company, Shi Zhenhong actually has a stronger temper than Liang Yusong: "Needless to say, I'm ready. You can spend whatever you want on operating expenses. Since you're about to hit the top, what's there to be afraid of? Just fight them."
