Chapter 182: The Battle of the National Group
The next morning, it was raining heavily.
Aoki Entertainment, Artist Director Office.
Xu Chen opened the door, put the coffee in his hand on the desk leisurely, and started the computer.
He has been very proud of himself recently. The artists he handles either have great album sales, or they have participated in popular movies and TV series, and their popularity has increased significantly.
Moreover, the group GoldenCold has recently returned to the right track and successfully entered the most popular variety show "Singing 2024".
If GoldenCold can stay in "Singing 2024" for a few more episodes, then Xu Chen will have a way to promote them as a first-line group.
“I wonder if their performance on the show last night caused some sensation.”
Xu Chen raised his eyebrows, opened the browser and looked at Weibo.
As he looked at it, his brows suddenly wrinkled.
"What's the situation? Didn't you discuss it with Li Xiao and the others? Why is GoldenCold still a round trip?"
Xu Chen's face was full of questions, and he immediately took out his mobile phone and called Li Xiao.
The call was quickly connected, and Xu Chen said angrily into the phone: "Li Xiao, what's going on with your program? Didn't you agree that GoldenCold would definitely enter the online singer camp? Why are you still being rejected by Phoenix Yufei? "Eliminated?"
Li Xiao on the other end of the phone was quiet for a few seconds, then sighed and said: "GoldenCold's performance wasn't that good last night. If they were forced to enter the online singer camp, It’s so fake. There are already enough scoldings on the Internet, and I don’t want to continue to add fuel to the fire for GoldenCold.”
Hearing this, Xu Chen almost laughed angrily: “ Are you still afraid of the scolding on the Internet? We had agreed before that GoldenCold would defeat Phoenix Yu Fei!”
The other end of the phone fell into silence again. After a moment, Li Xiao spoke: "To be honest, Lao Xu, GoldenCold's current value is completely inferior to that of Phoenix Yu Fei, and I can't offend you just for a favor." Phoenix Yu Fei, let this matter end here. I will return your favor next time."
After speaking, Li Xiao hung up the phone.
Xu Chen slapped the desk hard, making a loud "bang" sound, and even the cup of coffee just placed on the table was knocked over.
“Fuck, Li Xiao, I****”
After vomiting a few fragrant words, Xu Chen stood up from his seat to avoid getting wet. coffee.
"GoldenCold, Phoenix Yu Fei, Bai Xingjian..."
Coming to the floor-to-ceiling window, looking at the majestic heavy rain falling from the sky outside, Xu Chen's original good mood also changed with the phone call just now. Disappeared completely.
GoldenCold did not enter the online singer camp of "Singing 2024", which shows that the gap between them and Phoenix Yu Fei will only widen wider, and there is basically no possibility of catching up.
And this also shows how stupid Xu Chen was when he promised Zhao Jiao to let Bai Xingjian go.
“Dong dong dong——”
At this time, there was a knock on the door.
Xu Chen, who was slightly lost in thought, was disturbed by the staff who came in to clean up.
After the staff left here, he picked up his mobile phone and made another call.
……
Beijing, a luxurious flat floor.
"Who called?"
On the sofa, Qiao Xi, wearing only a suspender belt, sat cross-legged and asked Suning who came back from the balcony.
"Xu Chen, the artist director of Aoki Entertainment." Suning smiled playfully.
“Him?”
Qiao Xi blinked in confusion, “Why is he calling us? What kind of cooperation is there? But if there is cooperation, shouldn’t it also be with our agent? Human? ”
"There is a cooperation."
Suning came to sit next to Qiao Xi and crossed his legs: "It's just that this cooperation is a bit shady. He contacted us directly."
"Huh? What kind of shady cooperation?" Qiao Xi became more and more confused as he listened, curling his lips and said: "Can you explain it clearly in one breath?"
Suning sighed: "It's nothing. , when Xu Chen asked us to take a closer look at Phoenix Yu Fei when we were on the show "Song 2024""
"Aim at Phoenix Yu Fei?"
Qiao Xi had a question mark on his face, "Is there something wrong with him or with us? Why should we target Phoenix Yu Fei?"
"Because..."
Suning took out his mobile phone, I opened the hot search on Weibo and clicked on the third most searched term.
[Phoenix in flight, birds and fish, the battle between national groups (hot)]
A music critic with Weibo ID [Zhao Bo] posted a video, the content of which is Phoenix Yu Fei was compared with Birds and Fishes together, and at the same time he expressed some opinions, which aroused heated discussions among many netizens and debates between fans on both sides.
[No way, no way, there really is no way that a group that debuted less than half a year will compete with the national group "Asuka and Fish" that is recognized by everyone, right? ]
[You won’t get a prize, you have to touch the porcelain. ]
[Winning a championship and ranking first for two weeks do you want to become a national group? When Birds and Fish won these awards, you Phoenix Yu Fei was not even born yet! ]
[No, you fans of Birds and Fishes, can you stop being so quick? When did the phoenix Yu Fei collide with you birds and fishes? Just open your mouth and come, right? ]
[Isn’t this music critic named Zhao Bo a fan of Birds and Fishes? How could the video he posted be used to target Phoenix Yu Fei? ]
[Who said this person is a fan of birds and fish? Today this guy reposted the song of Birds and Fishes, yesterday he reposted GoldenCold's song, and the day before yesterday he reposted Phoenix Yu Fei's song. The main theme is a complex composition. ]
Looking at these contents, Qiao Xi frowned, "There must be someone setting the pace, right? Otherwise, who would be so bored doing this?"
"It's hard to say, which side do you feel? It's all possible."
Suning smiled: "Yehua Entertainment, Aoki Entertainment, the "Singing 2024" program team and our company Peerless Records may be building momentum for our two groups or Gain traffic."
"Are these people annoyed?" Qiao Xi said helplessly.
They have been together as Birds and Fishes for nearly seventeen years, so they are naturally very familiar with these routines.
But now this routine is actually used between them and Phoenix Yu Fei, which makes Qiao Xi very disgusted.
Because in Bai Xingjian and Feng Shiqi, she seemed to see the shadow of her and Suning.
Before becoming a recognized national group, she and Suning also started as champions of a certain show and got to where they are now step by step.
What Phoenix Yu Fei is experiencing now is what she and Suning have experienced in the past.
Therefore, Qiao Xi has always had a very friendly attitude towards Bai Xingjian and Feng Shiqi. When she saw the comments on Weibo about Phoenix Yu Fei's encounter with porcelain and their flying birds and fishes, she also felt inexplicably angry.
How can these people say that?
Qiao Xi was quite annoyed. Looking at Suning who didn't answer, he asked, "What do you think?"
"I'm quite worried about our current situation."
Suning scrolled through the comments on Weibo and said under Qiao Xi’s surprised gaze: “Phoenix Yufei is growing up too fast now, especially Bai Xingjian is so good at writing songs, and Feng Shiqi is so good at it. When it comes to singing, putting the two of them in the same type of group in the same age group is simply a dimensionality reduction blow.”
"That's why these good people on the Internet put Phoenix Yu Fei and us together to compare."
Su Ning looked into Qiao Xi's eyes and continued: "Think about it, Bai Bai Xing Jian and Feng Shiqi have only debuted for less than half a year, and they are already like this. If this continues, we birds and fish will probably have no choice but to follow them and eat their exhaust."
< br>"GoldenCold may be a precedent."
In the phone call with Xu Chen just now, Suning learned that Phoenix Yufei's current notification fee is much lower than that of Birds and Fishes.
Judging from the current situation, Phoenix Yu Fei is more popular than Birds and Fish, and more popular than Birds and Fish. If they are still beaten by Phoenix Yu Fei on the show "Singing 2024", then how many shows and organizers will come to them in the future? Wouldn’t the Phoenix Yu Fei be better and cheaper?
"It's not as exaggerated as you said, right?"
Qiao Xi stared with an expression of disbelief on his face: "I think you have been bewitched by your senior again. . ”
Yes, Xu Chen was a senior at Suning University. Although the relationship was not very good, there were occasional contacts and gatherings.
After thinking about it, Qiao Xi said to Suning teasingly: "You are not confident about our stage, are you?"
Suning smiled: "What if? What if our stage is not as good as Phoenix Yu Fei?"
Hearing this, Qiao Xi's expression slowly solidified.
Although she and Suning did not go to the "Singing 2024" last night, they did last week.
The song "As You Wish" by Bai Xingjian and Feng Shiqi really made her whole body covered in goosebumps.
If Bai Xingjian and Feng Shiqi can perform songs like this on the next stage, she and Suning may really be unable to resist.
Qiao Xi rubbed his hair irritably.
In the face of interests, her heart inevitably wavered.
Suning's mouth curved: "What do you think now?"
Silence is tonight's Cambridge.
It wasn’t until a long time later that Qiao Xi said: “Let’s see if Bai Xingjian and Feng Shiqi will contact us because of today’s hot search. If they contact us, it means they haven’t at all. If there is no contact with this idea, maybe they will..."
Suning smiled lightly, "Then let's wait for their good news today."
......
Linjiang City, a certain luxury hotel.
Today is Saturday, and neither Bai Xingjian nor Feng Shiqi has any activities, which is equivalent to a day off.
Feng Shiqi was wearing a printed vest and a pair of jeans, lying sideways on the sofa.
Her shoulder-length hair was scattered casually, gently covering one side of her face, while the other side was exposed, with delicate and smooth skin, slightly glowing with health.
The clear and bright eyes were slightly widened, and the pink ones were slightly raised.
As for why this happened, just because she was holding a mobile phone in her hand, Feng Shiqi was naturally browsing Weibo about their Phoenix Flying and Birds and Fishes.
The further she scrolled through the comments, the more her anger level accumulated, until her cheeks were almost flushed with anger.
“Are these people full of food and have nothing to do? They compete with each other every day.”
Although she only got third place in "Singing 2024" last night, Feng Shiqi was actually in a good mood. After all, GoldenCold didn't succeed in ranking, and she didn't have to see annoying people on the show.
However, she never expected that after the annoying person left, many annoying comments appeared on Weibo, which really annoyed her.
Bai Xingjian, who was on the other side of the sofa, was also looking at Weibo at the moment.
He had never thought about the fact that someone used their phoenix flying and flying birds and fish as effects.
"This is probably something the "Singing 2024" program team created for the sake of the ratings of the next live broadcast. Let them make noise."
Looking through the comments, Bai Xingjian also exited the relevant entries.
The problem is not big, there is no need to continue reading.
“But will such Weibo make Sister Qiao Xi and others have a bad impression of us?”
Feng Shiqi flipped up her hair, raised her head and looked at Bai Xingjian and asked road.
Judging from the current comment section alone, those expressing support for Phoenix Yu Fei have the upper hand.
There is no other reason. A large number of fans has a huge advantage in this regard.
Although Bai Xingjian and Feng Shiqi’s combined current Weibo followers are not half as many as those of Birds and Fishes, they both have a lot of active fans.
Phoenix Yu Fei has accumulated fans in less than half a year. Compared with the fans accumulated by Birds and Fish for more than ten years in terms of activity, this is another level of dimensionality reduction blow.
"This... shouldn't happen, right?"
Although Bai Xingjian is not very sure about this, in the entertainment industry, if it is because of this, it will give the other party a bad impression. If so, there should be countless people who have very bad relationships with each other, right?
Therefore, this situation should not exist unless you are a very stingy and sensitive person in the circle.
But Qiao Xi and Suning can probably be excluded. After all, through the program "Tian Tuan New Era", Bai Xingjian can feel the goodwill that the other party exudes towards them, Phoenix Yu Fei.
Seeing that he was not very sure about his thoughts, Feng Shiqi continued: "How about I explain it to Sister Qiao Xi?"
After saying that, she exited Weibo and opened WeChat.
But when she was about to find Qiao Xi in the contact list, what Bai Xingjian said made Feng Shiqi stop her action:
"It's not necessary. Sister Qiao Xi and the others should know this better than us. If you explain it, it will make them think that we think they are petty. You have to explain even such trivial things."
"So, let's just pretend that nothing happened, eat what we have to eat, and have fun when we have to."
Bai Xingjian said with a smile, put down the phone, picked up the remote control to change channels and watch TV.
"It makes sense."
Feng Shiqi nodded, looking thoughtful, then smiled at Bai Xingjian and said, "Ajian is still thoughtful!"< br>
Bai Xingjian was naturally very happy to be praised, but she heard: "Jian, can you give me the remote control? I want to watch a movie."
"Okay."
< br>Bai Xingjian reluctantly handed over the remote control.
The reason why he was so resistant was because he and Feng Shiqi were not on the same channel at all in terms of film and television dramas.
Like most girls, Feng Shiqi likes to watch Korean dramas.
Like most boys, Bai Xingjian likes to watch action movies.
"Let's watch "Legend of Jianghu", this movie is available for streaming."
Feng Shiqi smiled brightly, woke up the TV's voice assistant, and said: "Little A, little A, play "Legend of Jianghu."
The TV responded quickly. After Feng Shiqi finished speaking, Little A's prompt sounded, and then "Legend of Jianghu" started playing.
The familiar melody sounded, and Bai Xingjian suddenly realized.
"Legend of Jianghu", isn't this the movie he paired with "A Smile in the Sea"?
