288. The battle of priority and subordination, do not give in!
Li Feifei also saw a long queue at the door of many audio-visual stores on the street along the way, and deliberately went to several large bookstores in the city center to take a look, where there was a hundred-meter-long queue, and Wang Xiao's new album was playing on the square, the songs he had heard many times in the past two days made him envious and jealous at the same time, but also shocked!
This was an extremely rare scene more than ten years ago, only a few two or three king-level singers could have many fans queuing up to buy on the day they released their albums at their peak, and no one else had such treatment.
Twenty years ago, it was impossible to have such a scene, at that time it was still a world of piracy, and it was difficult to find a place if you wanted to buy genuine copies.
And now, although piracy is almost extinct, it is the world of electronic music.
Spend a lot of money cheaper than physical albums to download electronic albums and store them in your mobile phone, it's convenient to listen to music, the sound quality is not bad at all, and it's genuine, isn't it more fragrant?
Li Feifei's last album sold millions of physical albums, and he knew that ninety percent of them were fake, the factory only produced more than 100,000 of them, and a considerable part of the real sales of the remaining one percent were forcibly piled up by brain-dead fans, the kind that sold hundreds of copies by one person.
"Is that the appeal of good music?"
Li Feifei looked at the long queue to buy a physical album, and asked himself with a slight shock in his heart.
He thought that the official release of this album would definitely achieve extraordinary results, but the market's reaction still shocked him.
Spring of physical albums seems to be coming again?
He also had an urgent urge to make music seriously, and he was a little disgusted with his own works in the past.
Li Feifei's car came to the TV station first, and there was already an assistant and an agent who followed him at the door to greet him covertly.
His agent was a middle-aged man, slightly chubby, dressed in a neat suit, with eyes, looking very shrewd, skipping the assistant, personally stepped forward to open the car door for Li Feifei, and asked in a low voice: "Extraordinary, did you see Wang Xiao at the airport?"
Li Feifei was still wearing a hat and a mask, because he saw a large group of people gathered on the side of the road not far away, but holding a placard welcoming Brother Xiao home, as the agent and assistant walked into the building, he replied: "Yes, there are many fans who greet him at the airport." ”
The agent quickly said: "After you and Su Hailong went to the airport, I have been following the news. You and Su Hailong went to the airport to pick up the airport, and they were photographed by the media, and I have already asked the team to start hyping up, and now it is a real-time hot spot. Many media say that you and Wang Xiao are friends, and when you record the show, you will deliberately get closer to him to create an image of a good friend. ”
Li Feifei stopped and looked at the agent: "Are you asking me to rub Wang Xiao's popularity?"
Li Feifei's tone was a little dissatisfied.
In addition to the popularity of a few first-line stars when he first debuted, and later after becoming a first-line coffee position, when did he rub the popularity?
Now, let him rub the heat of a newcomer?
The agent was unhappy when he heard Li Feifei's tone, and hurriedly pulled him aside and said: "Extraordinary, let's just eat this bowl of rice, how about rubbing the heat? Then you really want to be friends with him? Bai Qingqing has publicly announced that he is a fan of Wang Xiao in order to gain popularity, and his popularity has increased. It's also good for you to be friends with him, and if you can get the songs he wrote later, the title track of your new album will be fine. ”
Li Feifei's tone became even more cold: "Brother Wang, there is no need to talk about this matter. Besides, I'll leave immediately, and this show won't be recorded today. ”
After becoming a first-line popular coffee shop, Li Feifei has always been extremely proud, let him rub Wang Xiao's popularity now, he would rather leave.
When the agent heard this, he hurriedly coaxed: "Okay, okay, I'll listen to you." However, the rhythm of the media still has to be brought with you, you go to the lounge to rest first, and after lunch you should start recording the show. By the way, did you propose to He Yan that you be the first guest on the show this time?"
Li Feifei's brows furrowed again: "No, I don't have a chance to say it, do you think he will agree?"
This kind of variety show will determine the order of the guests in advance, the first guest is the protagonist, the director will take the first guest as the core to arrange the program, the host will also interact more with the first guest, the second guest treatment will be slightly inferior, and the guests in the back are even more supporting roles, and some supporting guests can't say a few words during the whole show, and the position of the station is also an inconspicuous corner on the edge.
With Li Feifei's coffee position, the variety shows he has appeared on in the past two years are almost the first guest, or he is on an equal footing with other big names with the same coffee position, and will not be the second guest or a supporting role!
However, this time the show is different, so the agent Brother Wang asked Li Feifei to communicate with He Yan in advance, and let the host and director arrange the show with Li Feifei as the first protagonist at that time!
Li Feifei also understands this very well, knowing that with Wang Xiao's popularity now, it is impossible for Xiangnan Satellite TV to let Wang Xiao play a supporting role for him, and the banner of this episode of Xiangnan Satellite TV is to welcome Wang Xiao home.
Moreover, the program team told them in advance that he was here to visit the door.
The agent, Brother Wang, patted Li Feifei on the shoulder: "Okay, then you go to rest first, and I'll talk to Teacher He in person." ”
Li Feifei nodded: "Okay." ”
…………
The convoy sent Wang Xiao and his party all the way to the door of the TV station.
At the door of the TV station, a group of people had gathered, and there were hundreds of people, holding placards welcoming Brother Xiao home, and when they saw the convoy coming, they shook the placards vigorously, and shouted in unison: "Welcome Brother Xiao home!"
Wang Xiao and Zhu Ziqi got out of the car and really felt the warmth of home.
Li Tianzhi, He Hua, Zhou Yifeng, Li Haiyan, and Chen Yue surrounded Wang Xiao and Zhu Ziqi in the middle, and followed He Yan and his party in front of them towards the gate.
Wang Xiao waved to the fans gathered not far away, and also shouted: "Everyone go home quickly, don't do this in the future, there's no need! I know everyone is very supportive of me, it's enough to buy an album and watch my live broadcast and concert, let's go home!"
However, the hundreds of fans who spontaneously gathered did not move, did not leave, and did not come to block Wang Xiao, but just waved placards and waved their arms to show their support.
Not far away, the convoy escorted all the way from the airport also stopped on the side of the road, the windows opened, and fans waved at Wang Xiao on the windows.
Wang Xiao was helpless, so she could only wave and smile at everyone, and quickly followed He Yan and his party into the TV station building, and looked back, those fans still hadn't left.
Wang Xiao whispered to Li Haiyan: "Yanzi, you watch here, wait a minute, if they haven't left, you will go to persuade them, on behalf of me, let them all go home quickly." ”
Li Haiyan looked at Zhu Ziqi and saw that Zhu Ziqi did not object, so she nodded and stayed at the door.
He Yan, Qin Xi, Xie Yu, and Hai Bo personally led the way and brought Wang Xiao and his party to a large lounge, which can accommodate ten people to rest, with all kinds of leisure and entertainment facilities, and there is no shortage of drinks and coffee.
He Yan smiled and said: "Wang Xiao, Ziqi, and Fengzi, you can all sit casually, the recording of the show may start at about two o'clock, you take a rest here first, and then we will have a staff member to bring you lunch, or if you have a request, you can tell us in advance, we will order a meal for you." ”
Wang Xiao looked at Zhou Zhou Feng and the others, but everyone didn't say anything about it, and immediately said: "Teacher He, don't bother, just eat the same working meal as everyone, and we don't have anything to pay attention to." ”
He Yan nodded: "Okay, you should be tired from taking the plane, rest for a while, we still have a little bit of a departure in advance, see you in the afternoon." ”
Wang Xiao and He Yan shook hands: "Okay, I'm sorry for you, Mr. He, I'll see you in the afternoon." ”
He Yan hurriedly shook his head: "Don't bother, this is what we should do, your new album is really great." It's a pity that I didn't finish listening to it just now, when will the album I ordered arrive?"
Wang Xiao said with a smile: "Delivery in the morning, it should arrive tomorrow, thank you Teacher He for your support." ”
He Yan: "I'm not saying polite words, your album is really amazing, it will definitely sell well." ”
Hai Bo also hurriedly echoed and affirmed: "That's it, Brother Xiao, that song used to be so good." ”
Xie Yu: "I like scars, I cry when I hear them." ”
Qin Xi: "The comprehension is profound, I also cried, Wang Xiao, can you sing two songs of the new album in the afternoon recording program?"
Wang Xiao: "I'm here mainly to promote the new album, and of course I will sing the songs of the new album!"
Qin Xi: "That's great. ”
He Yan saw that the three of them were going to talk endlessly, and hurriedly pulled Qin Xi, who talked the most, and left: "Wang Xiao, Ziqi, Fengzi, you have a good rest and adjust your state, feel free here, just like your own home, if you need anything, you can contact the staff outside at any time, and call me directly." ”
Qin Xi, Xie Yu, and Hai Bo stopped talking, and obediently followed He Yan out, and Hai Bo was the last to walk out, and suddenly stretched out his head and said to Wang Xiao: "Brother Xiao, don't forget my signed album." ”
Wang Xiao made an OK gesture, and Haibo left with confidence.
Everyone sat down on the sofa and relaxed.
Chen Xiaoyue said weakly: "I'm very nervous, what if I make a mistake then?"
Zhou Yifeng, as an old-timer in the entertainment industry, comforted: "It's okay, it's just recording, it's not a live broadcast, just make a mistake and start again, just treat it as if it's here to play, relax." Mr. He is a well-known good person in the circle, and he has never deliberately embarrassed any guest. ”
Yang Shanshan patted Chen Xiaoyue's shoulder and comforted her to relax.
Wang Xiao sat down and said: "Everyone relax, we have all experienced the live performance of more than 70,000 people, and there are only 100 people at the scene of the recording of the show, what are you afraid of?"
Chen Xiaoyue thought about it like this, indeed, the spectacular scene of more than 70,000 people had been experienced, and it didn't seem to be anything here.
Although Li Tianzhi and He Hua were also a little nervous in their hearts, they also remained very calm, after all, they were both in their thirties and forties, and they were the two oldest in the team, so they naturally had to maintain a steady and mature state, so that the team could play more smoothly.
Li Tianzhi smiled: "It's okay, just follow my rhythm when the time comes, besides, there are also the old men Professor Liu and Fengzi." ”
Zhou Yifeng: "I'm not an old man. ”
Liu Yue unceremoniously gave Li Tianzhi a punch.
Everyone really relaxed.
Zhu Ziqi and Wang Xiao talked and went out to see how Li Haiyan persuaded those fans.
At this time, Wang Xiao had the time and mind to really sink into the system interface, check the many messages just now, and see the changes after completing the singer's job transfer task!
……
As soon as He Yan and a few people came out, he ran into Li Feifei's agent, Brother Wang.
"Hello, Mr. He. ”
Brother Wang shook hands with He Yan very politely.
He Yan and Brother Wang also had contact a few times, and shook hands politely: "Hello Mr. Wang." ”
Brother Wang looked at Haibo and the three of them, and said in a low voice, "Teacher He, I have something I want to talk to you about alone. ”
He Yan nodded, thought of something in his heart, took Brother Wang to a small room next to him, closed the door, and looked at Brother Wang: "Mr. Wang, what's the matter?"
Brother Wang said with a smile: "Teacher He, that's the case. In this show, according to his qualifications and popularity, he can be said to be the biggest brand in the mix, right? He is the first guest of this episode, it should be no problem, right?"
He Yan's eyes flashed with such a look.
He has been the host of the base camp for more than 20 years, and he has seen all kinds of people in the circle, among which the most people who ask for more scenes to appear in the scene, and immediately said with a habitual smile: "Mr. Wang, we have already told you in advance about this episode, right? The first guest must be Wang Xiao, you agreed, and we invited you to come." ”
Brother Wang said with a smile: "Teacher He, our extraordinary current popularity can at least rank in the top ten in China, right? Do you think it is not a waste to let such a big name play a supporting role?"
He Yan said helplessly: "Then I can't help it, unless you can persuade Wang Xiao and make him willing to give up the position of the first guest, otherwise I can't make the decision on my own, and besides, Mr. Wang, it's not a way for you to regret it on the spot." ”
Brother Wang thought about it, had been in contact with He Yan a few times, and knew that He Yan could say that this was already the limit, so he immediately said: "Okay, I'll discuss it with Wang Xiao?"
He Yan smiled: "Yes, you go to Wang Xiao to discuss, if he agrees, there will be absolutely no problem on my side." ”
Brother Wang: "Okay, then I'll go and discuss it with them! I think Wang Xiao should be able to show respect for his predecessors, and his relationship with Feifei is not bad." ”
He Yan still smiled, but did not speak.
The two walked out of the room, and Brother Wang walked towards the lounge where Wang Xiao was.
He Yan took Haibo and the three of them to the conference room and asked the two directors to discuss the arrangement of this program.
Hai Bo asked curiously, "Teacher He, what is Li Feifei's agent talking to you about?"
Qin Xi and Xie Yu both looked at He Yan curiously, wondering the answer.
The relationship between the four is very good, they have worked together for more than ten years, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they are good friends, which is one of the reasons why the base camp has been able to produce for more than 20 years, and there are almost no contradictions within the team, so as to maintain stable development for so many years.
He Yan didn't hide it, and said directly: "He wants Li Feifei to be the first guest and Wang Xiao to be a supporting role!"
Haibo immediately said: "Impossible. ”
He Yan: "I also said that it is impossible, unless Wang Xiao agrees himself! Then he will go to find Wang Xiao." When I invited them, they agreed to be the second guest before coming, and now they have to regret it, I can't compromise here, and if it doesn't work, I'll change people! Zhang Ningxi is definitely willing to come, and she called me in the morning to ask how Wang Xiao's program was recorded and if there is still a shortage of people. ”
Qin Xi said with a smile: "Zhang Ningxi is now trying hard to get on Wang Xiao, didn't she say that she and Wang Xiao had a conflict at Brother Hua's concert celebration?"
He Yan: "Hehe, how can there be an eternal contradiction." ”
The four of them all laughed, and it was not surprising that they had all seen too many things in the circle.
……
Brother Wang came to the door of Wang Xiao's lounge, and was just about to knock on the door, when he saw Zhu Ziqi coming over, he knew almost all the information about Wang Xiao, and knew that Zhu Ziqi was Wang Xiao's agent and could make decisions for Wang Xiao, so he stopped Zhu Ziqi at the moment: "Hello, you are Ziqi, right?"
Zhu Ziqi looked at the slightly chubby middle-aged man suspiciously: "Well, I am, who are you?"
Brother Wang stretched out his hand to shake hands with Zhu Ziqi, Zhu Ziqi politely stretched out his hand and touched it, which made Brother Wang a little embarrassed, his hand shook for a moment, and then quickly retracted it, and said: "I am an extraordinary agent, surnamed Wang, there are some things I want to discuss with you." ”
Zhu Ziqi nodded: "Hello, Mr. Wang, what's the matter?"
Brother Wang's eyes rolled and said very directly: "That's the case, this episode of the show was originally to invite the first guest of extraordinary people, but Wang Xiao was temporarily invited, and Wang Xiao's popularity is also very high, so in order to attract ratings, the program team let Wang Xiao serve as the first guest." ”
"I want to discuss with you, can you let Extraordinary and Wang Xiao serve as the first guests together, regardless of priority?"
Zhu Ziqi thought about it for a while, and knew that the other party was here to appear on camera, and he definitely wanted to fool himself, so he immediately smiled and said: "Mr. Wang, I'm sorry, if you want it, you can go to the program team and let the program team discuss with us." When we came, the program team promised to make a special program for Wang Xiao, and did not say anything about Li Feifei. ”
Brother Wang's eyes flashed with embarrassment, knowing that he had been recognized, he smiled and said: "Then, look, Ziqi, Wang Xiao can also be regarded as entering the circle, in the future, everyone will be in the same circle, look up and don't look down, can you be a friend?"
Zhu Ziqi frowned slightly: "Mr. Wang, I'm sorry, I can't help you with this matter." The first element considered by the program team is the ratings, if Li Feifei can pull the ratings, I don't think you need to say it, the program team will naturally arrange more shots of Li Feifei, right? Besides, if you are friends, you have to make concessions, so why don't you give in, Mr. Wang?"
Brother Wang was speechless for a while, knowing that the program team supported Wang Xiao so firmly, in addition to being set in advance, the most important thing was for the sake of ratings, if Li Feifei's current popularity and attention were above Wang Xiao, then he would indeed not need to come forward, the program team would naturally arrange Li Feifei to be the first guest and let Wang Xiao play a supporting role.
Zhu Ziqi looked at Brother Wang and said apologetically: "I'm sorry, if Mr. Wang doesn't have anything else, I'll go in first." ”
A hint of gloom flashed in Brother Wang's eyes, and he saw Zhu Ziqi enter the lounge, and turned around and walked towards Li Feifei's lounge.
Not far away, Su Hailong walked in with a few new albums that Wang Xiao had just launched.
……
And Wang Xiao was lying on the sofa and resting with his eyes closed, and everyone also gave Wang Xiao a good rest environment, chatting quietly around, or using his mobile phone to surf the Internet to see the information about the release of the new album.
