Chapter 86: That Man, He's Here He Comes Again
"Boss Yan, are you busy?"
This night, as soon as it was dark, Yu Bowen arrived at the Star Fan Video Store, a little earlier than usual.
Yan Shu was holding a rag in his hand, wiping the counter, and when he heard this, he stopped what he was doing and said, "Old Yu, it's very early to finish work today, wait for the song competition, right? I'm ready for the wine, and I'll have to make two cups in a while." ”
"What you didn't say, you have to fix it. When you get the wine, I'll take care of the food. It just so happens that Guoweiguan has just launched a hot pot door-to-door service, and I will arrange it later. As he spoke, Yu Bowen walked up to him and asked, "Are there any digital versions of the songs in the previous episodes?"
"It has to be. Yan Shu shouted at the cash register: "Yanzi, download the song of the Chinese song contest for Uncle Yu." ”
Yu Bowen saw that there were already a lot of people queuing up over there, some knew and some didn't, he smiled and greeted the familiar customers, and asked them to stay for a while, watch the game together, drink together, and eat hot pot together.
Everyone was not polite and applauded.
This is also one of the reasons why many music fans, movie fans, and fans are willing to come here when they have nothing to do, because when there is a game here, especially when Chen Lei participates, it is as festive and lively as a festival.
Even now, the festival is not so festive and lively.
When he queued up to Yu Bowen, he took out a hundred-yuan bill, smiled and said to Yan Ruyan, the little swallow: "I don't want other songs, as long as "Butterfly Spring" and the songs written and composed by Mr. Chen in the next two competitions. ”
"Do you all play Teacher Chen's songs?" asked Xiaoyanzi.
Yu Bowen nodded, "Yes, all of them are under Teacher Chen's songs, and if there is any surplus, it will be regarded as buying candy for Xiaoyanzi to eat." ”
Just as fans around the world will repeatedly buy many copies of their idols' digital albums when they hit the idol charts, there is also such a trend in this era.
Compared with some fanatical fans, Yu Bowen is relatively restrained.
Yan Ruyan collected the money, her little face was full of grievances, and she said, "My father won't let me eat candy, saying that I have begun to have tooth decay." ”
Yu Bowen laughed: "Then I can't help it, and the rest of the money will be kept for your own pocket money." Besides, I don't believe that your school will have a commissary, and who knows what you want to buy when the time comes. ”
"Lao Yu, it took me a lot of effort to do a good job in my daughter's ideological work, and you ruined it for me when you came. Yan Shu came over and said, "When you have a child, I have to put candy in his pocket every day." ”
"Hahaha, then I'll have to wait until I find my daughter-in-law. ”
The two talked for a while, and Yan Shu turned his head and said to his daughter: "Yanzi, you stare here for a while, I'll go out." ”
He had already prepared two bottles of Erguotou tonight, but after hearing that Yu Bowen was going to call the hot pot of Guoweiguan, he felt that Erguotou was a little out of his hands.
The national flavor view used to be called the Sichuan flavor view, the head office is not far from here, after the name change, he also took his daughter to eat together, the decoration, the taste, the service or something is very good, but it is a bit expensive.
It's so expensive to eat in the store, not to mention having to ask someone to send it over, Yan Shu feels that the service fee alone may cost a lot of money.
Two bottles of hot pot with two pots for a large table, although Yu Bowen may not have thought about it at all, Yan Shu felt that it was still a bit of a taste of taking advantage of others.
So he went to the tobacco and alcohol counter outside and came back with two bottles of Wuliangye.
There is wine, hot pot, old friends, and a Chinese song competition to watch at night, which is really like a festival.
And the Chinese Song Contest has officially started the brutal knockout round, tonight is not only a 10-in-8 competition, but also a new competition system - each singer who enters the top 10 can invite a singer or a group of bands as their own assistant guests.
In order to prevent people from taking advantage of loopholes, the competition committee specially stipulates that in addition to a single contestant, if the invited assistant guest is to invite a band, the band must have been formed for more than one year and must have a certain number of works released.
Who other celebrities invite to assist, Yan Shu and Yu Bowen don't care, they only care about Wu Mengdie. To be exact, they don't even care much about Wu Mengdie, they only care about whether the assistant guest invited by Wu Mengdie tonight is the man or not.
Because since Wu Mengdie entered the top ten, the news that Chen Lei will serve as her assistant guest has been uploaded on the Internet.
Many media have asked the organizers for verification through various channels, but the organizers' ambiguous attitude of not admitting or denying them makes everyone feel very funny.
————
Chen Lei's side, after sending a delegation to the United States to visit and study, forming a team, and renting office space, he was so poor that he was full of thoughts about how to get money all day long.
Originally, at this time, Chen Lei should have taken someone to contact the studio, go to major places of interest to make an appointment for the real scene, prepare to serve Huadao, and then start the audition of actors.
However, due to funding constraints, these efforts have been made very slowly and often at a standstill.
In this case, the start of the Chinese Song Contest provided Chen Lei with an opportunity to eat.
Old acquaintance Wu Mengdie needs to keep moving forward in the Chinese Song Contest to further consolidate and prove his popularity and status, and Chen Lei also needs to use this stage to improve his fame, accumulate prestige, and then earn a lot of income from the songs.
After all, the Chinese Song Contest is a competition with wide influence in the entire Chinese-speaking world, and it is not the same as the radio competition of "Listen to Silence Every Day".
This competition is only held once every two years, which is equivalent to the Spring Festival Gala in the music industry, and the ratings are amazing. If you sing one or two popular songs on this stage, you can really eat it for a lifetime.
The needs of Wu Mengdie and Chen Lei are highly overlapping, and the two sides hit it off, cooperate with each other, and work together for a win-win situation.
In the case of Chen Lei's continuous tailor-made songs for him, although the Chinese Song Contest was star-studded, although the competition was fierce and even fierce, Wu Mengdie still entered the top ten competitions without danger.
In the first few rounds, the songs created by Chen Lei and sung by Wu Mengdie have achieved great success once they are open for sale on the online platform, and in a short period of time, Chen Lei has earned more than one million, and all kinds of private messages about songs are flying like snowflakes.
Before Chen Lei went around, pulling investment, sponsorship, and title for "Shooting the Condor", the major brand-name dealers didn't bird him at all. Now that the songs created by Chen Lei have been sung by Wu Mengdie at the Chinese Song Competition, these brands have also begun to take the initiative to contact Thunder Company to consult about cooperation.
Although it is only the initial intention consultation, it also shows that Chen Lei's creative ability has been further recognized by the industry.
This is only the qualifier before the top 10 match, and it has already achieved such a big response, Chen Lei estimates that as the game deepens, the influence of the top 10 will increase exponentially.
And if you can get lucky to the end, it will be a qualitative leap for both Wu Mengdie and Chen Lei.
After the end of the qualifiers, the Chinese Song Contest was temporarily suspended for a week, so that all the players who entered the top 10 could have a chance to fully prepare.
Tonight, the break ended, and the Chinese Song Contest officially restarted.
In this 10-in-8 competition, all the shortlisted contestants can voluntarily invite one/group of assistant guests. During the live broadcast of the competition, the singer himself and the assistant guests combined, the top 8 with the most votes can enter the next round of the competition.
For this 10-in-8 game, the entire entertainment industry was a sensation.
As early as half a month ago, all kinds of immortals began to fight in the air. The singer agent who finally entered the top ten waved a checkbook and knocked on the door of the singer and queen, the actor and the actress, and said that the numbers could be filled in casually, just hoping to come over and stand on the platform to support the scene.
In stark contrast, it is the top ten singer Wu Mengdie, who has always been unwilling to be the queen and is known for daring to fight Galaxy Media, but this time has been quiet and has not moved, as if he doesn't care about this game.
It wasn't until tonight, two hours before the start of the competition, that the organizer lifted the confidentiality agreement for the participating singers, signaling that they could announce their assistant guests, and after the final campaign, Wu Mengdie posted such a Weibo on the Internet:
"Trust me, after tonight, the phrase you'll hear the most on the charts will be 'That man, he's here again'"
