China Entertainment: I became a capital tycoon

Chapter 690 688. Big Fish's Dimensionality Attack on the Mage

Sure enough, just as Ma Yun expected, after the launch of Meituan’s shared bikes, Meituan’s stock price saw three consecutive increases.

The number of real-name users of WeChat has also exceeded half, and the payment function has become even more popular.

In addition, the Meituan platform has also launched more activities. For example, as long as you ride a certain number of kilometers, you can use the accumulated mileage to redeem discount gift packages.

This has led many young people to return to Meituan.

It is convenient for travel and there are discounts. Although the food is a little slower, the service of the riders and the quality of the food are much better than going hungry.

Hungry, which was about to achieve a 15% market share, has now returned to 12%.

Faced with such challenges, Ma Yun also introduced more powerful subsidies in an attempt to regain lost ground.

Of course, these subsidies come from merchants.

But merchants also need to make money. Faced with such exploitation, they can only reduce the quality of food to ensure that they do not lose money.

However, Cao Yu did not engage in a price war, but instead improved service and even gave customers a tea egg or a bottle of water as a gift as his competitive advantage.

One wants to start a price war, the other wants to improve service, and the two sides are competing back and forth in the takeout industry.

"We'll see."

Facing Ali's counterattack, Boss Cao knew that this battle might take some time.

My ultimate move is still to come.

He now focuses almost all his energy on the entertainment company and Douyin, and has also selected some outstanding UP hosts from Fei'e Video and secretly trained them.

At this time, "Fuji Explosion" has been taken off the screen, with a box office of 6.9 billion in China and million US dollars worldwide.

This result is like a shot in the arm for the Japanese film industry, which was originally in a slump.

After entering the 21st century, Chinese films have risen, but Japanese films have not made much breakthrough in commercial films.

Now that "Fuji Explosion" is a big hit, many Japanese film companies want to win over this genius in the Chinese entertainment industry.

Although this film written by Mr. Cao made some Japanese people unhappy, it still had high box office.

But the result of nearly 700 million US dollars is still a little bit lower than the global box office of "Mulan" of more than 800 million.

In terms of variety shows, the "Drone Competition" has come to an end as students return to school, but the drone craze has already fully taken off in China.

Many campuses have also added clubs such as drone clubs, which are thriving.

At the same time, the program "Happy Boys" went through several competitions such as 10 to 9, 9 to 8, etc., and after creating several pairs of CPs and stirring up some popularity, it finally decided the top three.

Zhou Di, Hua Chenyu, and a newcomer named Lin Wei got the chance to compete for the championship.

On September 27th, after much anticipation, this year's "Happy Boys" championship night finally arrived.

In the previous elimination matches, Hua Chenyu successfully avoided Zhou Di every time he chose his opponent.

Although Hua Chenyu had no choice but to face the championship battle, he knew that as long as nothing unexpected happened, he would be the champion.

Before the show started, the fans of the three singers were divided into three camps at the scene, waving light boards in their hands to cheer for their favorite singers.

On the championship night, there will be four matches. The first two matches will eliminate one person, and the last two matches will decide the champion.

The first round is to see who is the best singer, and each contestant needs to demonstrate his singing skills on his own.

Backstage at the show, Danny Long confirmed with the staff, "Is everything arranged?"

"The thousand-person public jury has already been arranged. Hua Chenyu played the emotional card with his last song. Even if Zhou Di was ahead at first, Hua Chenyu will definitely be the winner in the end."

"That's good."

Long Danny was finally relieved that nothing must go wrong in this game.

She came to the live broadcast screen and suddenly remembered something. She said hurriedly, "Oh, tell the tuner to be alert. If there are any problems with the pitch during Hua Chenyu's singing, fix the sound immediately and then broadcast it!"

"clear."

The staff agreed verbally, but secretly sighed for the tuner in their hearts: "You are going to suffer."

On site, the first round of competition has begun.

Hua Chenyu sang Wang Fei's "Red Bean", Lin Wei sang Dick Cowboy's "How Much Love Can Come Back", and Zhou Di sang the classic Cantonese song "Thousands of Songs".

Maybe it was a problem with the song choice. Hua Chenyu didn't perform well when singing. He kept trying to hit high notes, but his performance was without any emotion.

Judging from the audience's cheers and reactions, it was clear that the last two songs were better.

But in the final vote, Hua Chenyu still scored 391 points, 27 points ahead of Lin Wei.

That’s not all. Zhou Di performed the best but only got 394 points, just 3 points higher than Hua Chenyu.

"No fair! No fair!"

Now, the audience watching the live broadcast on TV and computers are not happy about this.

There is a huge gap between the two in terms of singing skills and voice, so why is the score difference only three points?

There must be something fishy about this.

"Haha, a trick? If there is no trick on Mango TV, then the sun is rising from the west."

Cao Yu also watched the game, and when he saw the result, he just sneered.

He was waiting to see what the outcome would be after Big Fish came out.

Although the audience did not cry out that it was unfair, many people still wondered if they would feel condemned by their conscience if they voted for Hua Chenyu.

At this time, the guest Zhang Jingying spoke.

"Hua Chenyu, when you were singing just now, you were just immersed in your own world. Your singing can only move yourself. During the entire singing process, you were immersed in soaring high notes. There was no emotion at all, and it lacked texture. It was also a bit exaggerated. You need to pay attention to this in the future so that you can develop well."

This sentence touched the hearts of many viewers.

Indeed, Hua Chenyu seemed very self-absorbed when singing and didn't care about the audience's feelings at all.

Zhang Jingying's comment immediately made the backstage staff of Mango TV a little upset.

Is it necessary to tell the truth?
But Zhang Liangying was the director of the music department of Feiyu Entertainment, so they didn't dare to offend her and could only quietly remind her through the headset.

"Director Zhang, Hua Chenyu is a bit introverted. If you speak too directly, he won't be able to handle it. If you have any suggestions, let's talk alone after the game."

Zhang Liangying once participated in "Super Girl" and knows the inside story of Mango TV's variety shows very well.

She just smiled faintly at the backstage and said nothing more.

The backstage planners were also helpless, because Feiyu Entertainment didn't even dare to offend the station director.

After Zhang Jingying spoke out the audience's inner thoughts, the competition entered the second round to see who was the most idol.

In this round, the contestants and the backing singers sing together.

Hua Chenyu found Cao Ge, who is also a veteran singer.

When Hua Chenyu was performing, the music director found Zhou Di in the preparation room.

"Have you prepared the accompaniment for your last song? We are running out of time and we have to arrange the subtitles."

"All right."

Before this championship battle, Zhou Di had received instructions from Zhang Jingying that the accompaniment of "Big Fish" could not be used until the last moment.

But now the second round has begun, we have no choice but to give it to them.

The person in charge of music took the audio USB flash drive and the music score of the accompaniment and took a curious look at them.

Of course, I was surprised when I saw the names listed in the lyrics and composition column on the sheet music.

He rubbed his eyes quickly and took another closer look.

"Cao Yu? Is this song really written by him? Could it be this Zhou Di?"

This matter was too big, he didn't dare to stay here, and hurried to find Long to plan.

"Oh no!"

"The sky is falling?"

Seeing the panic-stricken music director, Long Danny thought he was too unstable and scolded him in a low voice.

"Planner Long, take a look. Who wrote Zhou Di's last song?"

The music director hurriedly handed the score to Long Danny, thinking that she might be more shocked than himself.

"Cao Yu? Mr. Cao from Feiyu?"

Long Danny's eyes were indeed wider than that of the person in charge. He said in disbelief, "Could it be that they have the same name? I've never heard of such a singer in Feiyu!"

The music director shook his head and said, "No, absolutely not. This song is very well written and suits Zhou Di's voice very well. Apart from Boss Cao, no one else with this name could write a song like this!"

"Wait a minute, I have to talk to the station manager."

Long Danny also felt that no one in the entertainment industry would dare to impersonate Boss Cao's name, but this matter was too big and she didn't dare to make a decision on her own.

"What?! You suspect that Zhou Di is a singer under Feiyu? How is that possible?"

Ouyang Changlin was also shocked when he received a call from Long Danny.

No wonder Zhou Di is so powerful. Is Boss Cao trying to ruin things?
Hua Chenyu has already signed a contract with Tianyu. If he is not allowed to win the championship, will this competition become a wedding dress for others?

But since Boss Cao wrote the song for Zhou Di,
Ouyang Changlin hesitated for a long time before he said helplessly, "Let's see what happens. Anyway, Hua Chenyu's last song was a good choice. Maybe it will resonate with the audience and he may win the championship. As for Boss Cao, I will explain it to him when the time comes."

Although he wanted to consider Boss Cao's face, Tianyu's interests were more important.

Now we can only pray that Hua Chenyu performs better in the last few games.

"Okay, I know."

After receiving the director's instructions, Long Danny had no choice but to agree. Now he could only place his hopes on Hua Chenyu, hoping that he could be more capable.

At this moment, Hua Chenyu and the guest singer had already finished singing the song "Mr. Lonely".

What disappointed Mango TV was that the audience's response to this song was still very mediocre, and everyone seemed to be looking forward to Zhou Di's performance.

Hearing the scattered cheers, He Jiong hurried to the stage: "Welcome today's second round of the second contestant, Zhou Di, and his guest singer, Li Keqin!"

"Oh! Oh! Zhou Di, come on!"

"Zhou Di! You're the best!"

"Zhou Di! Zhou Di!"

"Li Keqin! Li Keqin!"

"..." For a moment, cheers broke out from the audience. The atmosphere was many times more enthusiastic than when Hua Chenyu was singing just now.

After all, Zhou Di has gained many fans with his singing along the way.

It is no exaggeration to say that this program is the most popular.

"He's really awesome!"

Backstage, Hua Chenyu was also a little envious. Although he was very confident in his high notes, it was a pity that Zhou Di’s voice seemed to be better and his singing was more moving.

"But I won't lose! I'm already a member of Tianyu!"

But Hua Chenyu felt that the final winner could only be himself, after all, everything was arranged well.

At this time, the stage darkened slightly, and Zhou Di, dressed in a white suit, and Li Keqin, dressed in black, walked onto the stage.

After experiencing dozens of games, Zhou Di is now much calmer than before.

He also knew that Feiyu Entertainment was behind him, and that Boss Cao Yu was supporting him!

With him around, all I have to do is sing the song well.

Backstage, Danny Long was also staring at the screen. She hoped that Hua Chenyu could overtake in this show and that Zhou Di would make some mistakes in the Cantonese songs.

After Zhou Di and Li Keqin came on stage, they bowed to the audience, but no accompaniment music played.

"Why not assume that the feeling of sadness is a figment of your imagination? You can't find it in a test tube that stains your eyes. The past is hardened like stone. Just throw it away and run away."

The two of them actually started the show with a cappella singing?
Whether it was the audience in front of the TV, computer, or even the audience at the scene, everyone was shocked by the duo's singing.

There was no accompaniment, but the two voices, one clear and the other deep, were such a perfect match.

The staff of Mango TV all had complicated expressions.

Zhou Di is just a newcomer, but his singing skills are not inferior to those of the well-known singer Li Keqin.

Given Zhou Di's ability, is it really possible for him to let Hua Chenyu win the championship?

After Zhou Di sang a few lines of a cappella, the music finally started.

Then the two people's singing flowed slowly in the scene. There was no deliberate high pitch, no roaring, but it was like a stream, flowing into everyone's heart.

The audience waved the cheering signs in their hands, without cheering, as they were completely immersed in the melody of the song.

"Qin Shenshen, you are so good at pairing for the first time!"

In front of the TV, Cao Yu also closed his eyes and listened quietly to the two people who seemed to be a match made in heaven.

"How can we compare? Isn't the gap too big?"

This song directly scared Hua Chenyu and everyone at Mango TV. Even laymen could hear the difference between Hua Chenyu and Zhou Di.

Hua Chenyu was also secretly thankful that the two of them had not PKed with each other before, otherwise he would not have come here.

Now they can only pray secretly: "There are only two rounds left, I still have a chance!"

At the end of the second round, Lin Wei, who had the lowest score, was eliminated, although he performed quite well.

Now, only Zhou Di and Hua Chenyu are left to compete for the championship.

However, Zhou Di’s lead in points is not much now, only seven points, and with only two rounds left, it is hard to say.

Although He Jiong is a supporter, he is now very conflicted.

Now it depends on whether Hua Chenyu can defeat his opponents with his last two songs.

One is an English song "I will always love you" and the other is "Boundless Oceans, Vast Skies" by Wong Ka Kui. Let's see if we can use emotions to resonate with the audience.

In terms of singing skills, it seems like I can’t compare.

In the third round, I don’t know if young people have not heard the Russian song "Red Berries Blossom" sung by Zhou Di, but Hua Chenyu’s song "I will always love you" actually surpassed Zhou Di by two points.

Maybe the judges felt that Hua Chenyu's expressions were rich and a bit exaggerated when he sang.

However, many professional musicians backstage are really worried.

Since Zhou Di started participating in the competition, he has been able to sing Mandarin, Cantonese, Russian and English songs with ease, which is simply terrifying.

"Haha, has the conspiracy already begun? If it's still Ou Hao, then we've already lost. What a pity."

Cao Yu smiled and shook his head, waiting for the final round to begin.

The audience in front of the TV also had the same idea and were dissatisfied with the result.

I hope my favorite Zhou Di will not be affected by what happened just now and can perform well in the last game.

On September 27th, at 9:11 pm, the last round of this year's "Happy Boys" finals, who will be the champion, is about to begin!
"It all depends on this game. I must do my best. I must do my best!"

Hua Chenyu was cheering himself up when the host on the stage announced the start of the show.

"Hu~~"

He let out a sigh of relief, and with the encouragement of Mango TV and several guests, he walked onto the stage and sat down next to the piano.

"Today, I watched the snow drifting in the cold night, drifting away with a chilled heart."

There is no doubt that Huang Jiaju has a prominent position in the Chinese music scene, and his song "Boundless Oceans, Vast Skies" is a classic among classics.

Sure enough, Hua Chenyu's song resonated with the audience, and many people sang along.

"Anyone who sings this can resonate with the audience, but it's a pity that his pitch is so poor."

In the guest seats, Jane Zhang shook her head, but Hua Chenyu still mobilized the entire audience.

But when Long Danny in the background saw this effect, he breathed a sigh of relief.

As long as the audience buys it, there is a chance.

It turns out that the director is really amazing.

After Hua Chenyu finished singing a song, the camera gave close-ups of several audience members who were wiping their tears.

Capturing the audience being moved to tears by the songs is a basic operation for Mango TV.

"Next, welcome Zhou Di to bring us "Big Fish"."

When the audience heard the host announce the song title, they were confused because no one had ever heard of this song before.

"Big fish? Never heard of it."

"What song is it?"

"Original song? Sing the original song at the last minute?"

"Is the champion gone?"

Just as all the audience were talking about it, subtitles introducing the song appeared on TV.

"Composer? Cao Yu? Is it Boss Cao's song?"

"It's really him!"

"Boss Cao wrote songs for him? Then this Zhou Di is from Feiyu?"

"No wonder Zhou Di is so powerful!"

"Boss Cao has good vision!"

"Boss Cao's song, the championship is definitely secured!"

Before the song even started, everyone was shocked by the songwriter.

But, more shocking things are yet to come.

The distant and long melody, a feeling as pure as Zhou Di's voice, immediately penetrated everyone's heart.

"The waves silently submerge the night, flowing over the corners at the end of the sky. Big fish swim through the cracks in the dream, gazing at your sleeping outline."

There is no showmanship, only the singing that tells the story in a gentle and graceful manner.

But just the first few sentences made the audience at the scene and the audience in front of the TV cover their mouths.

The song is like a poem that touches people's hearts. The unique voice and delicate emotions are moving.

"I am afraid that you will fly far away, I am afraid that you will leave me, and I am even more afraid that you will stay here forever. Every drop of my tears will flow towards you and flow back into the bottom of the sky."

From soft singing to profound and passionate singing, both the melody and the singing skills are impeccable.

"This song is so beautiful, it's like an angel singing."

"This is a complete dimensionality reduction attack, what a bullshit!"

"The music composed by Boss Cao is as good as ever."

The audience was mesmerized by the performance. Not only did Zhou Di sing well, the music was even better.

Hua Chenyu, his family and friends, and everyone from Mango TV had no expression on their faces and didn't know what to say.

Boss Cao, you are cheating. What should others do after you write a song like this?
Although I don't want to admit it, Zhou Di really sang this song very well.

How to compare?
"After this competition, this little guy Zhou Di's singing skills can't get into the competition again."

Cao Yu had no idea how many times he had heard the song "Big Fish", but now little Zhou Di's singing was almost as good as at his peak.

He clearly remembered that in the program "The Year of the Singer", Hua Chenyu won the championship and Zhou Di was eliminated.

This time Zhou Di is standing behind me, let’s see how Mango TV cheats!

"Sounds good!"

"Sounds good!"

"sounds amazing!"

These words have completely dominated the Fei'e Video live broadcast screen.

“Ah~ah~ah~~~”

During the chorus, Zhou Di's singing made everyone who listened to the song, including Long Danny and others, shudder and get goose bumps, as if they were floating in the clouds.

This ethereal and beautiful sound seems to exist only in heaven and can only be heard a few times in the world.

"It's over."

Long Danny has also planned many talent shows. When this chant came out, she knew in her heart that unless abnormal means were used, the champion of this year's "Happy Boy" would be decided.
