Eight thirty.

Six singers arrived one after another.

"Director. ”

"Director Chen. ”

After coming to the scene, the six people greeted Chen Qi very familiarly.

Chen Qi, who was busy with something, just waved his hand to them casually, which was considered to have been said hello.

After the eight episodes of the program, they are indeed very familiar, and there is no need to see them more.

However, when Li Hong mentioned it, Chen Qi couldn't help but go over and have a brief chat with her.

He is really impressed by Li Hongti now.

Although he had long heard that the national team players were very capable of playing, when Li Hongti really showed her strength on this stage, he was still shocked.

She has participated in six of the current eight episodes of the show, but she has won the first place three times!

Except for the fourth in the first issue, she has remained in the top three even if she didn't get the first place in the rest of the issues.

What's more, those weighty records were broken by her.

Record the highest number of votes in a single game!

Record for the most combined votes!

Take the first most times!

It is no exaggeration to say that her performance later made Qin Mengxue and Song Quqi feel tremendous pressure.

No one may believe it when they say it, but Li Hongti, who joined as a substitute singer, is currently more popular than the starting lineup, and it is much higher!

"What song are you preparing this time?" asked Chen Qi curiously.

It is up to the singers to choose what songs they want to sing.

Generally speaking, they will notify the program team as soon as they confirm the songs they sing, but because Chen Qi has not been in the capital for half a month, they don't care about this matter.

"What I prepared this time was a folk song. Li Hongti, who was dressed simply, replied with a smile.

I don't know if it's because of the attribute of the national team, although Li Hongti's popularity is very high now, I can't see the slightest pride or arrogance in her.

She still looked modest and polite when she came, and she looked like she was weak.

Chen Qi nodded thoughtfully, and said with a smile: "Okay, you go to put on makeup first, the rehearsal is about to start." ”

"Good. Li Hongti smiled and turned around and walked towards the lounge in the background.

Chen Qi also looked around, and after seeing that everyone seemed to be ready, he also turned around and walked towards the location of the monitor.

But at this time, Su Xiaoxiao suddenly ran over in a hurry.

"Boss. She looked a little flustered.

Chen Qi's heart jumped slightly, and he suddenly had a bad premonition.

Su Xiaoxiao has always been very steady, and it was the first time he had seen her so flustered.

"What's wrong?" Chen Qi frowned unconsciously.

"Something happened. Su Xiaoxiao's face was unprecedentedly solemn, "There are nine musicians who said that they had a car accident on the road and couldn't come. ”

Chen Qi was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously turned his head to look at the stage, only to find that there were only a few musicians on the stage.

"Car accident?" Chen Qi's heart sank.

His instincts told him that things shouldn't be as simple as they seem.

"That's what they said, but I think they're lying. Probably aware of the seriousness of this matter, Su Xiaoxiao spoke quickly and concisely told Chen Qi about the whole incident.

In the morning, when she checked the preparations, she noticed that nine musicians had not yet arrived.

At that time, she felt that something was wrong.

It stands to reason that the band and musicians should have come over earlier to prepare, but now that the program team has come to work, they haven't shown up yet.

This has never happened before.

She called them as soon as possible, but no one answered.

It wasn't until several hits that they picked it up one after another, but they answered in a uniform tone.

They said they had been in a car accident and couldn't come for the time being.

But the strange thing is that she asked them the specific location of the car accident, but they refused to say, asked them if they were injured or went to the hospital, they just said that they couldn't come after the car accident and hung up the phone directly.

What's more, these nine people are not a band, they are completely scattered musicians, and they don't even live together.

Listening to Su Xiaoxiao's words, Chen Qi's face instantly became solemn.

Nine people who were heading to the TV station from different directions had a car accident at the same time?

That's, isn't it?

Clearly, something happened!

These nine people didn't have any car accidents at all, they just didn't come!

Do things!

Someone is doing something behind the scenes!

"Hoo one-one"

Chen Qi took a deep breath and suddenly had a big head.

Nine musicians!

If it's one or two, forget it, and you can continue to perform it after a little bit of reconciliation.

But now there are nine fewer ......

"What now?" Su Xiaoxiao looked at Chen Qi with a worried face, obviously knowing the seriousness of the matter.

There are not enough musicians, how can this show be recorded?

But the key is that the programs they saved before have all been broadcast, and if they don't record the program today, this week's program may not be able to catch up.

"Don't worry, let me think about it first. Chen Qi waved his hand, trying to calm himself down.

Calm down!

Be sure to calm down!

Chen Qi kept reminding himself in his heart.

Don't panic!

Don't panic!

But......

He really had the urge to flip the table now!

It's so ruthless!

It's really ruthless!

The man behind the scenes is really good at picking time!

The mastermind behind the scenes must have known that he was not in the capital during this time, and he also knew that his recording time this week was very tight, so he stabbed him hard at this juncture.

Now what?

It is obviously unrealistic to hold those musicians accountable, and now is not the time to talk about that.

Now the key is the show, what about this week's show?

Chen Qi silently walked to a no-man's corner, his mind spinning rapidly.

Without enough musicians, live accompaniment is obviously impossible.

Can't play live, with recording?

No way!

The idea was vetoed by him as soon as it flashed through his mind.

Rather lack than excess!

He would rather not do this episode of the show than be shoddy and perfunctory, and he can't let this episode ruin the entire show.

Looking back at the time, there is such a garbage in the twelve episodes of the program with explosive effects......

He couldn't bear it!

He didn't want that to happen.

Accompaniment with electronic music is much worse than live accompaniment, and this scheme will not work.

However, it is obviously impossible not to do this episode.

Not to mention the station, even Deputy Director Wang can't agree, this kind of broadcast accident is a big responsibility!

So what now?

After being silent for more than ten minutes, he said to Su Xiaodao, who had been standing behind him: "You go and invite Deputy Director Wang over, and you can tell her about this matter on the way." ”

"Good. Su Xiaoxiao didn't say anything and left quickly.

Subsequently, Chen Qi took out his mobile phone and called Xu Man.

"Can you help me find a few reliable musicians, I'm going to do it soon, I'm in a hurry!" After the phone was connected, he didn't say a word of nonsense, and just got down to business.

“...... Good. Probably also heard Chen's anxious tone, Xu Man didn't ask anything after being stunned for two seconds, and responded directly.

Chen Qi didn't say anything more, and after hanging up the phone, he dialed Xu Bunian's phone again.

He repeated the same phrase again.

After hanging up the phone, he thought carefully about who else he could trust.

But, no.

The only people he can trust now are Xu Man and Xu Bunian.

He also thought about asking Qin Mengxue and them for help just now, but he thought that since the masterminds behind the scenes could beat the idea of those musicians, they had also contacted these singers.

He suddenly felt that things were far more serious than he had imagined.

He didn't even know who was stabbing him in the back.

But......

Chen Qi suddenly thought of something, and walked quickly towards the backstage.

He couldn't believe others, but Li Hongti could!

Just at the sign of the national team on her, she can be trusted!

No matter how great the energy of the mastermind behind the scenes is, it is impossible for him to dare to reach out in this direction. The people she knows should also be trustworthy.

Walking quickly to Li Hongti's lounge, Chen Qi invited the makeup artist and several staff members out on the grounds that the show needed to be kept secret.

Then, he also told her the matter succinctly.

"I've been calculated now, there are nine musicians who have been notified at short notice that they can't come, do you know some reliable musicians here? Can you let them do a favor? I want it today!" Chen Qi spoke quickly.

"Huh?" Listening to Chen Qi's words, Li Hongti was also a little dumbfounded, and looked at him in disbelief.

Calculated?

Nine musicians aren't coming?

What kind of mess is this?

Chen Qi nodded seriously and solemnly, indicating that he was not joking.

"Oh, I'll see. Probably seeing the anxiety between Chen Qi's eyebrows, Li Hongti quickly suppressed the consternation in his heart, took out his mobile phone and flipped out a few calls.

A phone call.

Two calls.

After making seven or eight phone calls, Li Hongti looked at him apologetically, "They can't leave these days." ”

"Okay, I see, thanks. After getting a reply, Chen Qi didn't say anything more, and left in a hurry.

"Hey......" Li Hongti looked at his back and wanted to stop talking, but in the end he didn't dare to stop him.

The musician can't come temporarily?

What is this?

Li Hongti was still a little confused.

Chen Qi walked out of the backstage and happened to see Deputy Director Wang, who was also a little anxious, hurrying over under the leadership of Su Xiaoxiao.

"Wangtai. Chen Qi hurried over.

"What's going on?" Deputy Director Wang's expression was also very solemn.

"Wait and so on. Chen Qi smiled bitterly, tilted his head and said to Su Xiaodao: "You arrange for them to rehearse first, play electronic music for them to rehearse, and then you ask the other musicians and ask them who have contacted them these days." ”

"Okay!" Su Xiaoxiao replied and left in a hurry again.

Chen Qi took Deputy Director Wang to an empty lounge in the background, and said with some bitterness and helplessness: "Wangtai, don't worry, I am working on the matter." I came to you to ask you to help me analyze who was cheating on me behind my back. ”

"How do you solve it? It's not even 72 hours before the start of the broadcast!" Deputy Director Wang was obviously not very relieved.

The day after tomorrow is Friday, and there will be no show at that time, but what should I do?

"I know, I'll figure it out. Chen Qi made a promise, but he didn't have any bottom in his heart.

Deputy Director Wang glanced at him, and she had already vaguely guessed something, and after a few seconds of silence, she asked out loud: "Are there many music companies calling you during this time and asking you to arrange for their people to be on the show?"

Chen nodded.

"You refused?"

Chen Qi nodded again.

"Not a single one?"

Looking at Deputy Director Wang's incredible expression, Chen Qi frowned unconsciously.

"Sure enough......" Looking at Chen Qi's expression, Deputy Director Wang already knew the answer.

"Wang Tai, do you know something?" Chen Qi asked weakly.

"Alas......" Deputy Director Wang glanced at him helplessly and said: "To tell you the truth, many music companies and even film and television companies have called me during this time, just to ask me to help arrange one or two of their singers to be on this show." ”

Chen Qi nodded lightly, making a look of listening carefully.

This kind of thing is not surprising to him, a few days ago, someone called Xu Bunian, and it is more normal for Deputy Director Wang to receive a call.

"But because we said that you were solely responsible for the show, I also told them that I couldn't arrange it, and asked them to contact you directly. ”

Chen Qi continued to nod his head, motioning for her to continue.

"But I didn't expect you to make arrangements for them alone. Deputy Director Wang looked at him with some headaches, and he was also a head or two.

Young!

I'm still too young!

I don't understand the world at all!

So many people pull down their faces to call you, but you don't give anyone any face, can they lose their temper?

You've offended the whole music world!

Now it's the whole music scene working together to squeeze you out!

Thinking of this possibility, Deputy Director Wang couldn't help but shudder.

offend the entire music scene, and a TV station like them doesn't dare!

"Oh......" After listening to Deputy Director Wang's words, Chen Qi finally reacted in hindsight.

"So, I'm isolated from the music scene now?" he asked.

"I don't know, I hope not. Deputy Director Wang was also a little crying and laughing, and said: "If you can still find someone in the future, it means that it may only be one or two big companies targeting you, but if you can't find anyone, then there will be big trouble!"

As soon as Deputy Director Wang's voice fell, Chen Qi's mobile phone rang.

Xu Bunian called.

"Mr. Xu?" Chen Qi quickly picked it up, and after listening for a while, he nodded, "Okay, okay, I know." ”

After hanging up the phone, he shook his head at Deputy Director Wang with some bitterness.

Xu Bunian can't help here.

Deputy Director Wang sighed, and was about to say something when Chen Qi's phone rang again.

Xu Man called.

"How's it going?" Chen Qi quickly picked up.

"Have you offended some big guy?" As soon as the phone was connected, Xu Man's somewhat solemn tone rang in his ears.

"I just asked a few bands, and they thought I was going to record a song and they all agreed directly, but when they heard that it was you who asked for someone, they all squeaked and refused. ”

"......" Chen Qi was speechless for a moment, and he already had an answer in his heart.
