Chapter 132 The fiercely competitive New Year’s Eve party

“This year’s New Year’s Eve party guest lineup has almost been announced.”

"Analyze the highlights of each company?"

In the Fat Bird live broadcast room, the most talked about topic during this period is naturally the upcoming New Year's Eve party.

Compared to the past, TV stations are now more and more willing to spend money on New Year’s Eve parties.

Coupled with the entry of platforms like Kiwi, Penguin Video, and Tudou Video, the competition at New Year’s Eve parties can only be said to be getting more intense.

They are all trying their best to attract traffic and exposure.

Including robbing people from the entire entertainment industry.

As long as you're not really stupid, you can almost show up at a New Year's Eve party.

Those with bigger seats sing solo, or even perform several shows in a row.

Especially some small TV stations with insufficient budgets will tend to hire a front-line person with a big position and then make the most of it.

Some of the remaining programs, pieced together here and there, can also lift the stage.

The place is small, just a bunch of artists singing together.

Rich and influential TV stations like Mango hardly have to worry about programming issues.

This time, the number of A-list celebrities alone is estimated to be more than twenty.

After all, my personal connections in the entertainment industry are not comparable to those of other TV stations.

“The three most established local TV stations have the most luxurious guest lineups.”

"Mango is the most conspicuous representative among them, but this year's Mango New Year's Eve party lineup is also weird. Some of the people I originally guessed did not come."

"But if you want to have fun, Mango is definitely the best choice. Almost all the faces are familiar."

"If you want to watch a program, Tomato Channel is a good choice. Among the released program lists, various types of programs are evenly distributed, and there is no shortage of singers and queens to watch on stage."

Although Fat Bird is indeed a monk on the way, he doesn't have any professional music theory knowledge.

But what I have to say is that the number of messy gossips about the entertainment industry and the number of artists I know are definitely more than many traditional music critics.

If you randomly ask an artist from which TV station he is participating this time, he will be able to comment on it seriously for a long time. He will even give his own predictions about how the other person will perform on site.

"In addition, the guests from Penguin Video and Kiwi are also good."

"However, I took a look at some of the promotional materials for the party, and I feel that they are more inclined to invite some actors to participate. The overall viewability of the program needs to be considered."

"Of course, there are others worth watching, such as this year's Beijing TV station."

When Fat Bird mentioned the Beijing TV station, the barrage immediately understood.

"I cried to death, the anchor still can't let go of Xu Kong."

"I originally thought Xu Kong would go to Mango, but I didn't expect to go to the New Year's Eve party in the capital."

"The host has true love for Xu Kong. After talking for a long time, he must go to any party wherever Xu Kong goes, right?"

When Fat Bird saw that his idea was exposed, he did not refute it. Instead, he admitted it generously.

"Indeed, the one I'm most looking forward to is Xu Kong. After all, he is probably the most popular singer with the fastest rise in popularity this year."

“In addition, the guest lineup of Beijing TV Station is not bad either.”

"After all, with a big company like Fengge cooperating, there is no shortage of first- and second-tier stars to invite."

Since Fat Bird was labeled as "Xu Chui", he was still a little resistant at first, but as Xu Kong won the best match of the year again, he successfully defended the championship of "Our Song".

He simply didn't bother to pretend anymore.

A very loyal supporter.

He has expressed his opinion many times and believes that with the quality of Xu Kong's current works, as well as his singing skills and stage performance, he is definitely worthy of the title of King of Singers.

Perhaps there is still a gap between him and some veteran singers who have been around for many years, but Xu Kong is too young after all, and his future growth space is unfathomable.

As the New Year approaches, the relevant guests and programs of various New Year’s Eve parties have been released one after another.

Almost all the hot searches on Weibo are about which TV station has invited the singer, or who is cooperating with whom to perform.

Don’t think that local TV stations like these won’t buy hot searches and marketing. If they had money, everyone would probably be a mango.

I wish my enthusiasm could suppress all my colleagues.

In fact, every TV station has high standards, especially for large-scale programs such as the New Year's Eve party.

The actual situation of most TV stations is that they simply do not have the resources or budget to invite the first-line singers and artists who are currently popular.

The only way is to take the so-called nostalgia route.

Invite some artists who were once popular but are now outdated.

There isn't much innovation in the show, it's almost the singer's own masterpiece.

But on this day, although the official account in Beijing released some news, the popularity suddenly skyrocketed.

It is a photo of a live rehearsal. In addition to Xu Kong, who has already been exposed, there is also the top domestic singer Hua Hongjuan on the stage.

Related discussions quickly reached the top of the search rankings.

Even the number of likes and comments on the short video platform has skyrocketed.

"Damn it, Xu Kong is going to cooperate with Teacher Hua Hongjuan. Is it true?"

"What a magical combination, this kind of cooperation is completely beyond expectations!"

"Not only that, it seems that the two people's songs are also new songs written by Xu Kong."

“I was still hesitating about which party to attend during New Year’s Eve, but now I have decided!”

Although Hua Hongjuan may not appear in public for a few times a year.

But this does not mean that the other party is not popular.

You must know that even now, Hua Hongjuan's more than 90 million Weibo fans are still among the top ten domestic entertainment stars.

I opened an account on the short video platform half a year ago. Although there is almost no business and there are only two or three videos on the homepage, it still steadily exceeds the number of tens of millions of fans.

This kind of influence is at the top level in the entire country.

To put it harshly, even the top players who are good at doing data are still no match.

There is no way, although Hua Hongjuan is only in her early forties, the other party has been popular for almost twenty years, and her peak period is really too long.

Just being able to invite the other party to Beijing TV's New Year's Eve party already gave them a huge advantage.

What's more, the breaking news is that Xu Kong and Hua Hongjuan are singing on the same stage. As the artist who has stolen the limelight this year and has the most hot searches, it is hard not to be surprised when the top diva in the music industry and Xu Kong, the new king of singers, are on stage. Make people look forward to it.

"On the Beijing TV station, because of the news of Xu Kong and Hua Hongjuan singing on the same stage, it is now the most popular song on the entire network."

"Manager Li, do we need to take any measures here?"

Li Xun shook his head: "That's not necessary."

Li Xun is less than forty years old, with carefully groomed bangs. He doesn't look like a director, but rather a professional manager.

Of course, in fact, he was not a professional director to begin with, and he was previously responsible for Mango copyright cooperation.

This is the first time I have been in charge of such a large party.

"But."

The assistant director wanted to say something more, but was interrupted by the other party.

"Our goal this year is to maintain the number one spot in the New Year's Eve party ratings."

"Beijing TV station didn't even make it into the top five in ratings last year, and the data wasn't very eye-catching."

“Our main attention now is still on the other two companies.”

Li Xun himself is also under great pressure. Mango’s New Year’s Eve party has ranked first in ratings for three consecutive years.

And last year, under the personal control of Wu Youxue, it was still the kind that led the way.

This time, he was directly arranged to replace Wu Youxue's director of the evening party. If he did not continue to maintain the first place in the ratings, he would definitely be dissatisfied by the senior management.

And Li Xun has been the manager of Mango’s copyright department for nearly five years. This is almost his only chance to climb up.

And it can be seen that Mango's senior management is obviously very supportive of him.

If everything goes well, it will not be a problem for him to successfully replace Wu Youxue in the future.

"Manager Li, Bian Tao suddenly regretted it and said that he might not be able to make time on New Year's Eve"

The matter regarding the New Year's Eve party of Beijing TV Station has not yet been settled here, and Li Xun's assistant came again with new bad news.

"Substitute!"

"I don't believe it. There are so many celebrities in the entire entertainment industry, and they all have such a good relationship with Wu Youxue!"

Li Xun gritted his teeth and said.

This is obviously not the first time a similar situation has occurred.

In other words, although the lineup of this Mango New Year's Eve party is still very luxurious, if you take a closer look, you will find that the names of some artists who have a good relationship with Mango and are more popular and popular are not appearing.

Including Xu Kong, who just topped the list of hot searches.

According to Li Xun's original idea, Xu Kong would definitely be invited to their party this year.

After all, the other party's popularity this year is indeed the number one in domestic entertainment traffic.

The key is that Xu Kong's current publicity list is also quite good. If he can sing a new song written by the other party at the party, it will be even better.

The idea was indeed perfect, but he completely ignored the terrifying connections Wu Youxue had cultivated in the entertainment industry for more than ten years.

Not even Xu Kong's agent, let alone him, could get in touch with him.

In the end, I only received a polite rejection email.

Moreover, some of the artists who were originally planned to invite almost all declined the invitation to the New Year's Eve party for various reasons.

This sounds really ridiculous.

After all, with the popularity of Mango, every New Year’s Eve party is not limited to artists rushing to attend it, so there is nothing to refuse.

Especially for last year's New Year's Eve party, Wu Youxue even invited almost all the top singers and actors in the industry.

A little less popular or well-known is not qualified at all.

As a result, when they arrived at his place, everyone seemed to be afraid of him.

Even if he went to other less influential TV stations and the appearance fee was lower, he still declined.

"Our goal this year is to rank among the top three in ratings!"

"According to the data of previous years, if it almost breaks 1.5, it should be able to reach it."

“It is currently ranked No. 1 in hot searches on major platforms, which is equivalent to the first step to success.”

At Beijing TV station, Liu Qiliang was giving blood to the party staff.

"Okay, that's it for now. We have to go through the process today, and the afternoon will be reserved for teachers Xu Kong and Hua Hongjuan."

Just after Liu Qiliang finished speaking, he received the news that Xu Kong had arrived.

He quickened his pace and walked towards the backstage lounge.

"Teacher Xu Kong."

"How's it going?!"

After seeing Xu Kong himself, Liu Qiliang couldn't wait to ask.

"It shouldn't be a big problem."

Xu Kong was relatively calm.

After two days of practice with Hua Hongjuan, the effect is still good so far.

"Hoo~"

After hearing Xu Kong's words, Liu Qiliang was obviously relieved.

The only news he got in the past two days was that Hua Hongjuan was quite satisfied with the new song written by Xu Kong.

This is great news for him.

At least there is no need to worry about Xu Kong and Hua Hongjuan’s collaboration being ruined.

After all, Hua Hongjuan was not satisfied with several songs they asked people to write before.

This can be considered as having passed the biggest difficulty.

However, it seems that the difficulty of the song is quite high, and the effect of the two's subsequent collaboration on stage is still unknown.

Mainly on Xu Kong's side.

With Hua Hongjuan's singing skills, there is almost nothing to worry about.

After two days of running-in, it seems that there shouldn't be any big problems now.

"Teacher Hua"

Hua Hongjuan came in, and several people immediately greeted her politely.

Although he had always known Hua Hongjuan before, Xu Kong practiced singing with her for two days before he truly understood the horror of her.

This song is quite challenging for Xu Kong.

Strictly speaking, if he really wants to sing, the difficulty is not particularly high.

But the real difficulty is singing a duet with Hua Hongjuan.

The opponent's high pitch and the momentum when singing were really stressful for Xu Kong.

After all, Hua Hongjuan is already in her forties, so it is inevitable that she is still much older than when she was young, but her mental state in all aspects is definitely at its peak.

"Don't be so polite, sit down"

Hua Hongjuan said with a smile.

"Xiao Xu, don't be nervous. After our run-in over the past few days, the stage is already pretty good."

"There is no need to put too much pressure on yourself."

Hua Hongjuan comforted her.

Originally, when she heard about cooperating with Xu Kong, although she didn't resist, she wasn't ready to agree directly.

Mainly because he felt that Xu Kong was too young and it would be difficult for the two of them to perform on the duet stage to meet her long-standing requirements.

To put it harshly, I was still afraid of being held back by Xu Kong.

But after listening to the new song written by Xu Kong, Hua Hongjuan found that the song was indeed suitable for her, and she agreed after hesitation.

And he has already prepared himself to take care of the younger generation Xu Kong.

But when the two started practicing, they were shocked by Xu Kong's singing skills.

It is no exaggeration to say that at Xu Kong's age, this is the first time Hua Hongjuan has encountered a singer with such a level of singing skills.

Even she herself back then was far from reaching it.
