Chapter 245 Xu Kong is the disturbing variable
Obviously, what the other party said is completely true.
Xu Kong's song itself is definitely a golden song of very high quality, both in terms of lyrics, music, and concept.
In addition, compared to the previous Su Yuwei, Xu Kong's performance on the spot was almost without any mistakes, and was not even weaker than the two previous singers.
That state of relaxation and enjoying the performance is not too difficult strictly speaking, but you have to know that this is the stage of "Singer" after all. Compared with the nervous mistakes of other singers, Xu Kong's singing is even more rare. .
……
"There is no suspense anymore. It can be seen that Xu Kong definitely chose the song specially this time."
"Heizi said, don't you really think that Xu Kong didn't come because he was afraid of being eliminated?"
"This song has a high probability of becoming a hit. I feel it is one of the best among similar healing songs."
At this time, the commentators in the live broadcast room began to express their opinions.
The song "Bridge of Tears" by Xu Kong in the last issue is indeed not particularly popular.
It was only because of the blessing of Su Zhi's album that I managed to break out of the circle.
But for this song "Daoxiang", let alone Fat Bird or other professional film critics or peers.
Even ordinary viewers who listen to it for the first time can feel that this song will most likely become a hit in the future.
With a very memorable melody and graphic lyrics, it is almost destined to be a hit.
……
Logically speaking, the new song Guo Min wrote for Su Yuwei should be able to break out of the music industry.
After all, the melody is indeed quite outstanding.
But one after another, after listening to Xu Kong's new song "Daoxiang", almost most people were not very impressed by the previous song.
There is no way, since they are new songs performed in the same program, and the order is still next to each other.
And "Daoxiang" is really too stunning.
Similar situations are bound to arise.
Of course, it doesn’t mean that there will be no enthusiasm at all in the follow-up.
After all, given the quality of the songs, whatever is popular will still be popular.
But it is destined that for a period of time after the live broadcast of "Singer" ends, you can only follow and drink soup.
……
"The final number of votes for Xu Kong will be announced below..."
"95 votes!"
There was no big surprise in the result. Xu Kong's song "Daoxiang" received the highest number of votes in this issue so far.
Fat Bird naturally voted for Xu Kong.
But if it was said before Xu Kong's performance that the other party would get such a high number of votes, Fat Bird would probably be skeptical.
It's just that Xu Kong's performance ended, but no one felt confused, and everyone looked like it was natural.
Not only the quality of the song itself, but also Xu Kong's performance this time, if he didn't win the first place, it would be a bit unjustifiable.
Although there is another Lan Shu who hasn’t performed yet.
But it is estimated that no one will think that Lan Shu can affect the final ranking.
……
Although Lan Shu's expression at this time was still frowning, he looked very stressed.
But compared to before, she was really starting to panic now.
She won't be eliminated in this episode, right?
After all, Su Yuwei hadn't performed before, so she still had confidence in herself and didn't think the number of votes would be lower than her opponent's.
As a result, Su Yuwei, who was not very ethical, actually sang a new song, which was even written with the help of a well-known songwriter like Guo Min.
The final number of votes was only lower than that of Jian Junfang, who came in second.
As for Xu Kong, Lan Shu didn't think that Xu Kong would be eliminated. On the one hand, the opponent's own strength was on the one hand, and on the other hand, at present, with Xu Kong's popularity and traffic, "Song" could be without anyone. Only Xu Kong cannot be missing.
When listening to the song, I am completely immersed in it.
What I even thought about occasionally was that if Xu Kong agreed to write a song for himself, would it be of such a high quality?
If so, then this song alone might be able to take her current career a step further.
……
It wasn't until Xu Kong's voting results came out that she realized something was wrong.
Why do everyone else’s votes for this issue be so high?
She didn't pay much attention to it at first, thinking that she wouldn't be eliminated, right?
After all, in so many previous episodes of the program, she herself had never even appeared at the bottom of the vote count.
I even got the first place in several issues.
But no one expected that the intensity of this competition would be so high.
The average number of votes exceeded 90.
Even the one with the lowest number of votes has reached a score of 87, which would have been in the top three in previous periods.
In other words, if her number of votes does not exceed 87, she will be eliminated directly in this issue.
Although Lan Shu does have some background.
But among the contestants participating in this issue of "Singer" at this time, her identity is nothing at all.
It’s not yet to the point where the Mango program team can take it seriously.
From the first episode of the show to now, the show team has not tampered with the votes.
……
With so much pressure, Lan Shu still took the stage.
Xu Kong had just finished his performance and simply nodded to the other party before returning to the lounge.
However, Jian Junfang was specifically asked to help arrange an appointment with him, and Xu Kong could guess that Lan Shu was planning to invite him to sing.
So even though his singing was over, he still patiently watched Lan Shu's stage.
I have to say that Lan Shu's voice does sound a bit like Su Zhi's.
However, in comparison, it is not as delicate as Su Zhi, and it lacks a bit of the most important sense of story.
Anyway, there is a high probability that in terms of hardware such as voice, she will definitely not be able to compare with the talented girl Su Zhi who won the title of Queen of Songs in her early twenties.
But in comparison, it is definitely enough to eat this meal.
Moreover, Lan Shu's basic skills are very solid. In terms of handling various small details, considering that the other party is in his early thirties, his singing skills are already quite good.
The only problem is that Lan Shu seems to have had a few popular songs since his debut, but they all seem to be short-lived. There is no masterpiece that can make the melody ring in people's minds when they are mentioned.
This is also a problem faced by most first-tier singers in the current Chinese music scene.
……
"Thank you..."
Lan Shu finally breathed a sigh of relief after the performance was over.
Although I was very nervous, I managed to stabilize myself in the end, and there were no major mistakes on the scene.
The rest was beyond her control.
"Singer Lan Shu, the final vote result is..."
"87 votes!"
After the host announced the results, many people were stunned for a moment.
This is really the first time something like this has happened.
The main reason is that the voting rules have been changed once.
There have been instances of tied for first place, but it does not affect the schedule. It is just one more champion in one period.
But in this knockout system, the last place has the same number of votes.
The foreign European and American singer and Lan Shu both scored 87 votes.
There was some trouble for a while.
It's impossible for both of them to be eliminated at the same time, right?
……
As for the playoffs, if they are recorded and broadcast, it is quite simple.
But after all, it is a live broadcast, and the final result of the discussion given by the program team is that neither of them will be eliminated for the time being.
However, in the next issue, the two singers with the lowest votes will be eliminated directly.
The result of such deliberations has unsurprisingly aroused heated discussions among netizens. "That's reasonable. I feel like this is the most exciting episode of the season. It would be a pity to eliminate anyone."
"I don't have any objections anyway. If the follow-up programs can maintain this level, the follow-up will only become more and more exciting."
"It's okay to give one more chance. I just feel that the pressure on the singers who will participate in the next episode will increase a lot."
……
The live broadcast of "Singer" has come to an end.
For Xu Kong, even though he won the first place, it was still on the hot search, and "Daoxiang" was not unexpectedly popular.
But his whole person became calmer and calmer.
The main thing is that I'm used to it.
He didn't plan to sing this song originally, mainly because he felt that he didn't care about the results so much, so there was no need to go to such a high level of intensity.
Moreover, the other singers on the show do not have much competition with Xu Kong.
During the live broadcast of the program, everyone was basically friendly, and there wasn't even much of a fuss.
Among them are singers like Jian Junfang, who has a very good relationship with him and has even collaborated with a few singers before.
But because of a rhythm problem in the middle.
On the contrary, it made Xu Kong feel that he needed to be a little more serious.
To prevent similar situations from happening in the future.
Anyway, it's just a classic beating and you'll be honest.
Just like Jiying Media, although Xu Kong didn't get the news, in this issue Su Yuwei, a singer under Jiying, was able to get a song specially written by a songwriter of Guo Min's level.
If it wasn't for him, Xu Kong wouldn't believe it.
It's just that it's not so obvious.
But with Xu Kong’s understanding of this circle.
If he becomes obsolete in the future, or if he loses his current reputation and traffic, Jiying Entertainment will definitely step on him unceremoniously.
I just estimate that there is a high probability that that day will not come until Xu Kong plans to retire.
……
"Oh, it's really not necessary..."
At this time, Xu Yaqin felt like she was suffering something that she couldn't express.
As the manager of the artist department, she actually knew very well that what Jiying was currently lacking was not talented new singers.
It’s about songwriters and songwriters with sufficient creative abilities and some professionals behind the scenes.
A few newcomers become popular every year, and it's nothing more than marketing techniques and hype.
But hit singles are completely rare.
Not to mention songwriters who can consistently produce high-quality works.
If possible, Xu Kong is definitely the person Ji Ying wants to get the most right now.
But even if you can't get it, it won't make the relationship so bad, right?
After all, if the guarantee is not enough, will there really be opportunities for cooperation in the future?
Not to mention, for a song of the quality of "Daoxiang", not to mention spending money, even if the singer is asked to bear the huge price, there are still many people rushing to cooperate.
But at present, it seems that the singers under their Jiying banner will most likely not be able to get the songs written by Xu Kong.
This loss made her feel even more distressed than the endorsements and performances taken away by Xu Kong.
"I should have found a chance to let the superiors take down You Jie..."
There was no other way. The only person Xu Yaqin could blame was You Jie, the culprit of the whole thing.
It's really outrageous that the other party, the manager of the public relations department, would not solve the problem but instead caused trouble.
……
"Today's young people are really difficult to deal with."
Xu Kong probably didn't expect that Zhu Changyun, Feng Ge's vice president, whom he had been thinking about, would also be in Star City at this time.
"Mr. Zhu, I feel that Xu Kong has noticed something."
The person next to Zhu Changyun was Lu Hanwen, one of Fengge's film and television managers.
However, because Xu Kong has always been in contact with Yan Rui, he probably doesn't know this person.
"I know."
Zhu Changyun replied lightly.
Lu Hanwen hesitated for a moment, and finally expressed his thoughts:
"Mr. Zhu, actually at this stage, you don't actually need to compete with a small character like Xu Kong..."
In Lu Hanwen's view, no matter how popular and potential Xu Kong is now, he is just a contracted artist under the company.
Even if the other party shows great commercial value, it is unlikely that the other party will choose their side due to their close relationship with Song Youyou.
On the contrary, Zhu Changyun's deliberate actions these few times will ruin the original plan if he is not careful.
……
"Are you teaching me how to do things?"
There was a hint of warning in Zhu Changyun's eyes.
Lu Hanwen quickly opened his mouth to clarify.
"You know, I hate others bossing me around the most."
Zhu Changyun has been in charge of almost the entire Fengge over the years, although on the surface he seems to be in charge.
The outside world thinks that Song Fuquan is a complete hands-off shopkeeper.
But only he knows that every time the other party makes a decision, he is simply notified to execute it without even an explanation.
"I have always had a feeling that Xu Kong will become an uncertain variable..."
However, after Zhu Changyun calmed down his emotions a little, he still spoke.
"Variable, you mean Xu Kong?"
Zhu Changyun nodded.
It's not because of Xu Kong's ability or talent.
But ever since he saw each other for the first time, he began to feel uneasy.
……
"My original plan was actually just to target him, and then I would help solve the problem..."
Zhu Changyun was indeed a little helpless.
His original plan was just to win Xu Kong's favor.
If possible, it's not like he can't be brought to his side in the future.
He didn't think that compared to Song Youyou, Xu Kong really didn't pay much attention to his career.
Even some subsequent solutions have been thought of.
But he didn't expect that Xu Kong would either have no reaction or choose to deal with it softly. Everything was completely different from what he planned.
This guy doesn't look like that kind of young man who is also in his early twenties, he is too calm and calm.
But at the same time, he is not like some old foxes who are only interested in profit.
It's really hard to do.
And what Zhu Changyun never expected was that Xu Kong's sense of smell would be so sensitive.
It was actually locked directly on him.
He thought he had done things these few times without anyone noticing.
As a result, the plan to gain the other party's favor not only failed, but was also targeted unexpectedly.
"But it won't take much time."
"There shouldn't be any big problems."
Zhu Changyun had no choice but to give up at this time.
Although I still feel uneasy, I feel that Xu Kong is a quite unstable factor.
But he had planned this for so long that he couldn't just give up just because of a hunch.
