Huayi, Guo Hong’s office.
Chen Xueqi sat there without saying a word.
Guo Hong was a little helpless.
"Qiqi, I'm not against you falling in love, but you should at least be careful and do a good job of protection. Otherwise, you will be photographed by the paparazzi every three days, and if someone with a heart sets the stage again, you will be involved in rumors. Among the rumors."
"I do not mind."
"I know you don't care, and I feel sorry for you... The popularity that "Meet" has accumulated for you has just disappeared. Another thing, you don't have to care about other people's opinions, and you don't care about your boyfriend's opinions either. Do you mind if you don't care? I'm just afraid that the three of us will become tigers and make your boyfriend think too much."
"He won't." Chen Xueqi emphasized.
"..."
At this moment, Guo Hong's phone rang. Guo Hong looked at Cheng Kun's phone and after thinking about it, she answered the call.
"Guo Hong, come to my office." Cheng Kun hung up the phone after saying that.
Guo Hong curled his lips, wanting to say something cool. After thinking about it, she still said to Chen Xueqi: "Qiqi, wait for me here. I'll go see what Cheng Kun wants to say to me."
"Okay!" Chen Xueqi nodded.
After Guo Hong left, Chen Xueqi thought about it and called Wang Xuan.
She knew that Wang Xuan wouldn't think too much about it, but sometimes lovers would inevitably worry about gains and losses. She doesn't care what the whole world thinks of her, but she must care about what Wang Xuan thinks of her.
The call was quickly connected, and Wang Xuan's joking voice came from the other side: "Qiqi, we've only been apart for a while, and you miss me now?"
"Yeah." Chen Xueqi said in a low voice, and then emphasized: "Wang Xuan, I don't have two boats."
"I know."
"I'm not being kept either."
"No, you're being kept."
"Really not. You know the situation of my family. Do I deserve to be taken care of?" Chen Xueqi's tone sounded obviously anxious.
"Look, you're anxious. I haven't finished speaking yet. What I'm talking about is that you are being taken care of by me. Beauty Qiqi, do you mind being taken care of by me?" Wang Xuan was happy, but also a little apologetic. He had known that Chen Xueqi would mind so much. , he stopped making this joke.
"...Wang Xuan, you are teasing me!!!"
"Just kidding."
"But I don't like this joke."
"I was wrong, I won't do it next time. Qiqi, I feel like you care a lot about what you say online. There's really no need for it. Let's go back to the Magic City whenever you have time. I have something to give you. "
Chen Xueqi fell into wild thoughts after hearing this.
So what does Wang Xuan want to give me? Isn't it an engagement ring? If it is an engagement ring, should I accept it or not?
If you accept it, is it too early to get married now? And I haven’t reached the Queen of Heaven yet.
But if he doesn't accept it, will he think too much about it?
"Should I go back today?" Chen Xueqi asked uncertainly.
"...Why are you back today? Aren't you going to rehearse the opening song of the music festival these days?"
"Now that there are so many negative comments about me online, I shouldn't be given the opening song of the music festival, right?"
"How is that possible? Qiqi, you underestimate an official organization like the Music Chart. Since the Music Chart has chosen you, it will not replace you because of such gossipy things on the Internet, unless the evidence is conclusive." Wang Xuan didn't say anything, but he had won the opening song for Chen Xueqi for the music festival. For his sake, Wang Gui couldn't even replace Chen Xueqi.
Not long ago, Wang Gui apologized to Wang Xuan for this matter.
"So you can just rehearse in Yanjing with peace of mind. I'm waiting for you to wow everyone at the music festival. Then I'll want to see how these scumbags on the Internet will slander you."
"Yeah." Chen Xueqi nodded.
.....
On the other side, Cheng Kun's office.
When Guo Hong came in, Cheng Kun didn't play charades and got straight to the point: "Guo Hong, I'm here to talk to you mainly about Chen Xueqi's problem."
Hearing this, Guo Hong sneered: "Mr. Cheng, hasn't the company already decided to hide Chen Xueqi? What else is there to talk about?"
"It seems that you have a big misunderstanding of the company. With Chen Xueqi's excellent external conditions, how could the company hide her? Before, we cut off her resources and turned down some of her jobs, just to let her sober up."
"I want to thank you on behalf of Chen Xueqi."
"Don't be emotional. I came to you today just to talk to you about Chen Xueqi. After such a long period of calmness, I think Chen Xueqi is also sober. The company has decided to resume her job, and it can also give her the best resources. She pushed up.
Chen Xueqi doesn't like to attend dinner parties or cocktail parties, and the company will not force her to do so in the future. But the company needs you to do her job, no matter who her boyfriend is, let her share it with me.
This is definitely good for her stardom. You have also seen these negative comments on the Internet. How many rumors has Chen Xueqi fallen into just because she is in a relationship? Another thing, you have worked so hard to find so many resources for her, and you probably don’t want to waste them like this, right? "Cheng Kun said.
To put it nicely, do you want to cut off Chen Xueqi's resources and stop Chen Xueqi's work just to let Chen Xueqi calm down and sober up?
What nonsense!
"Meet" and the opening song of the music festival made Cheng Kun see that Chen Xueqi could become a first-line singer with this wave. This was the reason why Cheng Kun decided to unfreeze Chen Xueqi.
Even for a giant company like Huayi, first-line singers are considered valuable assets and can make a lot of money.
And capital will not be in trouble with money.
If there is no song "Meet" and the opening song of the music festival, would you like to read it?
But Guo Hong also had to admit that some of Cheng Kun's words made sense. Falling in love has a great impact on Chen Xueqi's stardom.
"I will do Chen Xueqi's job. Whether she listens to it or not is her business. Again, love belongs to personal freedom and has nothing to do with others."
...
Guo Hong originally wanted to do Chen Xueqi's job, but when he returned to the office, he saw Chen Xueqi talking on the phone, apparently with her boyfriend. After thinking about it, Guo Hong decided not to be the bad guy.
The main reason is that Guo Hong knows that it is impossible for Chen Xueqi to break up with her boyfriend. Comparing herself with her own feelings, when she was with Li Tao, if others advised her to break up with Li Tao, she would definitely not want to, and she might even spit out someone else's water.
So after Chen Xueqi hung up the phone, Guo Hong just mentioned what Cheng Kun told her.
Sure enough, Chen Xueqi was very determined: it is impossible to break up.
Chen Xueqi also reiterated her decision to terminate her contract with Huayi as soon as she becomes a top singer. As for Huayi's so-called resources, she will never ask for them in the future.
Just so strong!
Wang Xuan's prediction was correct. Soon Guo Hong received a call from Music Billboard asking Chen Xueqi to come over for rehearsal. Everything was normal.
It is worth mentioning that on the 19th, the fourth final of "The King of Masked Singer" was broadcast. Without Wang Xuan's participation, Qinglong had a hard time but still got his wish and won the first episode of King of Singer.
The ratings for "The Masked Singer" were released the next day, 3.2.
Baihu's withdrawal still had a great impact on the ratings of "The King of Masked Singer". The ratings of 3.2 are actually very high, but compared with the ratings of the previous King of Singer finals, it has declined.
If there were no accidents, "The Masked Singer" would no longer be able to become a phenomenon-level program.
I have to say, this is a pity. Not only Zhang Zheng and Su Yichang are regretful, but the industry is also very regretful. Just because the entertainment industry has not produced a phenomenal program for a long time.
On the contrary, Suning TV's competitors breathed a sigh of relief. Suning TV's regret is their greatest happiness.
...
The recruitment of Tianhai Entertainment was not smooth. It hired many ordinary employees, but not many elites.
The recruitment of artists was almost at a standstill. Weng Qiuping had people contact several big-name free artists. As a result, they were either unwilling to sign a contract with Tianhai, or they made excessive demands, almost treating Wang Xuan as their exclusive composer.
This is not the way to go.
Weng Qiuping couldn't stay any longer and hurried to Wang Xuan's office, only to see that Wang Xuan had been typing on the computer.
"Mr. Wang, what are you doing?" Weng Qiuping was curious.
"write script."
"Write a script?" Weng Qiuping was stunned, "Mr. Wang, can you still write a script?"
"I know a little."
When Weng Qiuping heard this, he didn't doubt anything else. He thought that Wang Xuan really knew a little bit. After all, Wang Xuan had always been famous in the entertainment industry as a top composer, but he had never shown his ability as a screenwriter.
"Seeing Mr. Weng in such a hurry, is there something wrong?" Wang Xuan asked.
"Yes. Mr. Wang, the company's recruitment work is not going well. After so many days, we have contacted several big-name artists, but no one is willing to sign a contract with us."
"It's normal. After all, everything is in ruins. Before others see that we have the ability to revive, it's impossible for big-name artists to dare to tie their futures to us."
"But this is not the way to go. What I mean is, why don't Mr. Wang use your Weibo to post a recruitment information? Let's cast a wide net. We take the initiative to contact people who are unwilling to sign with us, maybe because of your Name, will anyone take the initiative to contact us? "
"You can try it, but the effect should be minimal. Again, before others see that we have the ability to revive, it is impossible for big-name artists to dare to tie their futures to us." Wang Xuan said using his own words I edited a recruitment announcement on Weibo and posted it.
"Actually, it's not necessary. We can cook as much rice as we have. When we cook the rice in the pot until it's fragrant, we don't have to worry about others not wanting to serve it," Wang Xuan said.
"The problem is that there are only some newcomers left in our artist department. No matter how we cook it, it won't be delicious, right?"
"That's not necessarily true. These newcomers can definitely cook a pot of fragrant rice." Wang Xuan said and took out a piece of information from the drawer.
Weng Qiuping took it over and took a look.
"Ren Xuanran, Zhang Yaxin, Deng Ziqing, Du Chengfei... What, what are the characteristics of these newcomers?"
"The voices are pretty good, and they are all good prospects. By the way, have they changed the contract?"
"The contract was changed, and all the dozen newcomers present that day stayed. Wait, I remember Du Chengfei's voice was hoarse. Is this a good voice? Du Chengfei signed an actor's contract."
"I checked his information. He originally studied music and had a very good foundation. Later, he had some problems with his voice, which turned him into what he is now. He was forced to join an acting class. But in my opinion, his voice is not at all The problem is, only such a voice has characteristics and recognition. As long as there is a suitable song, it is easy to sing. I happen to have a suitable song for him.
In this way, you ask him tomorrow if he is willing to continue to be a singer. If he is willing, we will help him record his first song tomorrow, and then use it to hit the new song list next month. Then you will know whether he is popular or not. "Wang Xuan said.
"Okay." Weng Qiuping nodded.
It is also pitiful that the top management of Tianhai now only consists of Wang Xuan and Weng Qiuping, so even the matter of contacting the artists has to be done by Weng Qiuping.
Wang Xuan mainly grasps the trend, while Weng Qiuping now almost takes over the trivial tasks of the artist department and other departments.
Du Chengfei was dumbfounded when he heard that the company asked him to transform into a singer.
"No, Mr. Weng, can I still be a singer with a voice like this?" Du Chengfei looked at Weng Qiuping in surprise.
"Mr. Wang said it himself, what do you think? Mr. Wang said that your voice is very good and very unique, and he has songs that suit you. It depends on whether you are willing to transform into a singer. If you are willing, today Wang I can always help you record songs.”
"Yes, I do." Of course Du Chengfei was willing. Being a singer was his lifelong dream, but when he had a problem with his voice, he thought his dream of being a singer was shattered, so he had no choice but to change his major.
"Then you go to the recording studio with me to record the song now. Mr. Wang is already waiting for you there. After recording the song, you go to the personnel department to change a singer contract." Weng Qiuping said, taking Du Chengfei to the recording studio .
Wang Xuan actually came to the recording studio very early and was recording the soundtrack of several songs, one of which was for Du Chengfei, and the others were for the new singers he had circled.
Seeing Weng Qiuping coming with Du Chengfei, Wang Xuan stopped what he was doing.
"Mr. Wang, I have talked with Du Chengfei. He is willing to transform into a singer. I have already brought him over." Weng Qiuping said first.
"Good morning, Mr. Wang, you are my idol." Du Chengfei greeted quickly.
"Yeah." Wang Xuan nodded, "Du Chengfei, I remember that you should have graduated from Fengtian Art College, right? You originally studied in the music department, and you later switched to an acting class, right?"
"right."
"Have you forgotten your music theory knowledge?"
"I haven't forgotten. But Mr. Wang, can I really still be a singer?"
"I said you can do it. Just remember the music theory knowledge. This is a song that I will record for you later. You should familiarize yourself with the music score first. I will record the soundtrack first. After you are familiar with the music score, I will record it for you later. You explain the song, and then we start recording the song, and next month you will represent our company to hit the new song chart."
"Ah? I represent the company to hit the new song chart? Can I?"
"If you can't do it by yourself, you can do it with my song."
Why is Wang Xuan so confident? Because he gave Du Chengfei this song called "Tearing the Night", a song that became popular all over the country in another time and space. The original singer Adu also became famous with this song, and later went on to release several albums, each of which became a hit. Adu also became one of the top singers in the Chinese music scene with these albums.
Its vicissitudes of life and hoarse voice are highly recognizable, bringing a refreshing feeling to the Chinese music scene. What's rare is that Adu is very full of emotion when he sings. Every love song, through Adu's soulful interpretation, can touch the softest part of the fans' hearts at once.
At his peak, Adu was almost as popular as Jay Chou. It's a pity that Adu doesn't know how to compose lyrics and music, and his music style is a bit monotonous, which puts him at a disadvantage in the PK with Jay Chou.
Du Chengfei's voice is just right, almost a replica of Adu from another time and space. This is a blessing from God.
Anyway, Tianhai found the treasure. If nothing unexpected happens, Du Chengfei's future achievements will at least reach that of a first-tier singer. But the upper limit is probably also for first-tier singers, so it will be difficult to reach that level.
The main problem is that. His voice can be said to be a blessing from God, but it also gave him a lot of constraints, which determined that his music style was destined to be single.
But it really works. A-list singers are treasures in any entertainment company. Did Cheng Kun, who had not seen Huayi, give in when he saw Chen Xueqi's potential to become a first-line singer?
After Du Chengfei saw "Tearing the Night", he immediately fell in love with the song, and he sang a cappella several times along with the score.
Next to him, Weng Qiuping's eyes lit up: "Huh? This voice actually has a different flavor when singing."
...
