On the other hand, not long after Zheng Qian submitted 60,000 words to "The Three-Body Problem", he once again received a 50,000 yuan manuscript fee withdrawal form from "Science Fiction World", which made him quite puzzled, because according to the price of 500 words per 1,000 words, the manuscript fee settlement this time should be 30,000 yuan.

Raised prices?

Zheng Qian could only guess like this.

In short, he is very excited, seeing that the deposit is increasing, and the idea of becoming a great writer is even more enthusiastic.

Today is the recording time of the ninth episode of "Singer", early in the morning, choreographer Ji Haiyang contacted Zheng Qian and asked Zheng Qian to rush to the studio to rehearse, this time to eliminate five people and select the top ten, which is a crucial key point for any contestant, because the top ten not only have the opportunity to sing the theme song of the TV series produced by CCTV, but also get the quota to join the art troupe.

Even for many popular artists, the quota of the art troupe is incomparably precious, it is not only a status honor, but also a guarantee, each art troupe is established, you can enjoy the national allowance, you can get a fixed salary every month, and with the improvement of the professional level, the salary and benefits will also increase.

Of course, the number of places in the art troupe this time is a special recruitment, and the basic level will not be very high, according to the current per capita level, there may only be a few hundred yuan per month, of course, joining the art troupe is not nothing to do, because no matter which branch of the art troupe, there is also a quota of 100 KPI performances every year, which is naturally aimed at the whole team rather than the individual, so, if your team is large enough, you may only need to perform two or three performances for the whole year.

However, there will be labor fees to receive for each performance, and there are almost no people who only perform two or three performances and get a basic salary.

In the afternoon, the ninth episode of "Singer" officially began to be recorded.

In the backstage lounge, as soon as Zheng Qian appeared, Zhang Guoran, a returnee singer from Berkeley, was very enthusiastic, and gave a very hard bear hug when he came up: "Great, Zheng Qian, we meet again!"

Zheng Qian has been crazy about fitness and muscle gain in the past month, and he has achieved some results, otherwise he was hugged by a strong man like Zhang Guoran who has been abroad for many years, and his bones must fall apart, he coughed dryly: "I'm so happy to see you again!"

Then he pushed the other party away a little harder, he was still not used to this guy's self-cooking.

"Zheng Qian, I can't imagine that your experience is so bumpy, I really feel sorry for you!"

Zhang Guoran's Mandarin has gradually become standard, but there is still a strange smell, and his voice has also attracted the attention of others in the lounge.

Contestant Hu Liang said with deep sympathy: "I didn't expect that Cao Wei to be such a person, he really knows people and faces, but he doesn't know his heart." ”

"Yes, when I came to the show as a flying guest before, it seemed that there were five or six people, but I didn't expect it to be a traitor, Zheng Qian, you can really bear it, if it was me, I would have beaten this grandson so much that he didn't even know his mother. ”

Another five-foot-tall young man with a muscular body clenched his fists and said indignantly.

Zheng Qian clenched his fists again and again, "Thank you for speaking up, but the matter has passed, don't mention it again, just let the past go with the wind!"

"It's so atmospheric! Look at people's minds!" Hu Liang gave a thumbs up.

"Zheng Qian, I heard that you participated in Andy's concert, can you tell us what the concert of 10,000 people is?"

Zhang Guoran said with bright eyes.

"Yes, yes, tell me quickly! I'm a good girl, tens of thousands of people concert, how spectacular that scene is!"

"Andy treats Zheng Qian really differently!"

"I understand very well, heroes cherish heroes! Just like Zheng Qian and I, we cherish each other!"

"I heard that Andy also asked Zheng Qian to write a song, Zheng Qian, what kind of song is it, can you sing a few sentences to listen?"

Zheng Qian never expected that his popularity among the contestants was so high, and at this moment, everyone surrounded him in a circle and asked him gossiping.

Soon, however, the recording of the show officially began, and the tense atmosphere quickly filled the entire backstage, making everyone start to sit upright.

This time, the top 15 will be in the top 10, which means that five people will leave the stage permanently after today and will not be able to participate in the finals.

Therefore, many players with relatively low popularity and strength can't help but feel down.

Most of them are North Drifters, unknown people, of course, there are well-known singers to participate in this show, but there are very few, and the elimination speed is also very fast, and now those who can stay on this stage can be described as big waves and sands, and a large part of them are well-known underground singers or musical actors in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region.

Their singing voice is very suitable for here, all kinds of bel canto, Beijing accent, and ethnic singing are played, but they don't go well with pop music, so the market audience is small, and they are all counting on being able to achieve good results in the show and get an iron rice bowl for the art troupe.

The game is still a two-by-two PK system, voted by the 1,500 spectators to choose the winner, after the game, among the losers, the lowest number of votes in the audience of the five people, will leave the stage directly, the procedure is simple and straightforward but extremely cruel.

According to the order of the draw, Zheng Qian and plateau singer Hu Liang PK.

This ignited the passion of the audience.

Both of them are real sopranos, one tenor, one soprano, and their lung capacity is notoriously strong, their breath is even more stable, and they are both popular champions, and everyone leaving the stage will definitely make the audience regret the greatest regret.

"Is it so exciting?

Judge Chen Meiling said with a smile.

"Ah, I know Zheng Qian!"

The new flying guest Yu Lei clapped her hands excitedly and said.

She looks very fairy, she is a famous TV drama actor, twenty-seven or eighteen years old, she has been popular in recent years, and she has starred in TV series every time she is the heroine.

Because the debut drama is a costume drama and is famous for playing a fairy-like heroine, she is a fairy sister in the minds of many young men and women.

"We have a senior named Meng Haitao on the set, and his acting skills are very good, because we graduated from a college, I often call him senior brother, before I came, he specially told me that he and Zheng Qian are a company, let me take care of Zheng Qian, well, it seems that Zheng Qian is also my junior brother!"

Yu Lei's eyes blinked, wanting to have a conversation with this popular player.

At this moment, the audience is also whistlering, and it seems that people are very much looking forward to this performance.

In the center of the audience, the familiar chubby girl once again raised the flag, writing the words "Zheng Qian promoted", she shouted "Zheng Qian come on", and shook the flag with a fierce expression.

Every time he shook, the surrounding crowd involuntarily dodged, their faces worried, obviously worried that the banner would fall on their heads.
