Chapter 52 (I)

The trend of "Indifferent Smile" can only be described in one word, that is, "soaring".

On the first day, he ranked twelfth, with only more than 20,000 votes, and from the second morning, he suddenly went crazy and rushed to the ninth place, with more than 60,000 votes. and boldly predicted that in this online audition, Zhang Shaoyu's "Indifferent Smile" will not have the slightest problem in entering the top 100, and it is very likely to occupy the top three positions.

Among them, the excellence of Zhang Shaoyu's works itself is of course the main reason, but the supporters' wanton canvassing activities are even more indispensable. Since "Indifferent Smile" passed the primary election, based on Baidu's "Yu Shao" post bar, fans have launched a huge canvassing campaign.

From major online forums, to communities, to blogs, you can see canvassing posts everywhere. And in this, it is not uncommon to see posts canvassing for Zhang Shaoyu's "Indifferent Smile". What's more, everywhere where news can be released, it seems that you can see the news of Xiaoqiang Cup, Zhang Shaoyu, and "Indifferent Smile".

The aforementioned writer, with an ordinary heart, who must practice his words, really added the voting link of Zhang Shaoyu's works to his popular works, not only him, but also many popular writers on that website also joined the canvassing army, adding advertisements to their works, and calling on book friends to vote for Zhang Shaoyu. Some writers from the southwest responded to the slogan of "supporting local singers" and spontaneously added advertisements to their works.

The soaring progress of "Indifferent Smile" is inseparable from the support of these enthusiastic friends. By the fifth day, Zhang Shaoyu's works had rushed to the top five and had been stable in the fifth place. Fans don't seem to be satisfied, and vow to top "Indifferent Smile" to the top three before giving up.

Of course, such a popular online music event, how can Zhang Shaoyu be beautiful alone. Among the five major regions, the competition in each region is quite fierce, and among the top ten works in the Northeast Division, the number of votes between the works is almost the same, and the first place has changed hands several times.

In the Hong Kong and Taiwan divisions, although the number of entries is less than that of other regions, it is not inferior to the mainland, and netizens in the region are still enthusiastically participating in it, and the canvassing momentum is also in full swing.

The most interesting is the overseas division, where there are less than 100 entries in total, so that all of these works can be included in the top 100. But foreigners don't seem to be letting up because of this. Because most of their songs are in English, many netizens can't understand them at all, and it is difficult to get votes in China, so they post advertisements on their home websites to ask for help, and the competition is also white-hot.

On the first day when the results of the primary election were announced, the number of votes for him reached 100,000! 100,000! What an astonishing number! Zhang Shaoyu had such a powerful advertising campaign that he received only more than 20,000 votes on the first day, but he was able to get 100,000 votes on the first day!

This person, if he is not a singer who has become famous, then there is only one possibility, he is Xiaobai.

As it turned out, Zhang Shaoyu's guess was correct. From the comments on this work, he saw that some netizens called the singer named "Xu Zhengwei" "Xiaobai". It turns out that he is Xiaobai, no wonder he has such a high popularity.

Now that he has found his work, Zhang Shaoyu must listen attentively. Xiaobai's song takes the route of love, with a bright rhythm and a bit of hip-hop style, such a song is not only good, but also easy to sing. The title of his song, called "Help", is to the effect that: I am in the whirlpool of feelings, constantly struggling, consuming all my energy, making myself bruised, although I still have not given up my desire for affection, but I am afraid that I will not have the strength to hold on to the day she appears.

Although he still takes the tragic route, it shows that he will never despair, and in this regard, he and Zhang Shaoyu have something in common.

This song, whether it is a song or a lyric, in Zhang Shaoyu's opinion, is a superior work. However, he did not compare it with his "Indifferent Smile", because it belongs to a different category and is not comparable. If you have to compare, it will become Guan Gong vs. Qin Qiong.

There is still a week to go, and the top 100 works in each competition area will be released, and within this week, no one dares to say that their position will be secured. Seven days is enough to give birth to any variable. Zhang Shaoyu didn't care, but he made Li Dan and Liang Jin anxious, and he didn't do his own business, staring at the official website of Xiaoqiang Cup every day to check the trend of Zhang Shaoyu's works. And Zhang Shaoyu himself is leisurely, except for the occasional attention, the rest of the time, he is all accompanying Yang Tingyao.

Yang Tingyao seems to have been stimulated by something in the past two days, and she will pull Zhang Shaoyu to accompany her every day. Although women need to be with each other more, they don't need to be together all the time. Fortunately, Zhang Shaoyu was obedient to Yang Tingyao, if it was someone else, I am afraid he would already be full of complaints.

In fact, Zhang Shaoyu himself knew in his heart that his senior sister was for Zhao Jing's business. It's not that she doubts herself, but she always feels that something is wrong in her heart, and she feels that something is missing if she doesn't see herself for a day. While being gratified, Zhang Shaoyu was also sighing, how can I make her value me so much.

Because of this, Zhang Shaoyu will never refuse Yang Tingyao's request.

On the sixth day, Zhang Shaoyu's "Indifferent Smile" was still in the fifth place, and the song in the sixth place was only a few thousand votes short of him, and at this time, Zhang Shaoyu's votes had already exceeded 300,000. Sure enough, as Zhao Jing said, in the end, the votes will definitely not be only 300,000.

"Shaoyu, it is estimated that it is stable, and it will be fifth! Haha, it's not in vain that the brothers have worked hard!" Li Dan minimized the official website of Xiaoqiang Cup, stretched his waist, and said to Zhang Shaoyu, who was sitting on the edge of the bed playing the guitar.

After gently plucking the strings and making a series of pleasant piano sounds, Zhang Shaoyu raised his head and smiled: "Anyway, it doesn't matter how many of the top 100 you get, what I value is how the top 50 compete, and ......."

Seeing that Zhang Shaoyu didn't finish speaking, with a weird smile on his face, Li Dan said: "And what? And the top 32, the top 16, the top eight, the top four, and the finals, and the champion, right? Your kid's heart, isn't it too dark? haha......"

Zhang Shaoyu put the guitar on the bed, sighed, shook his head and said: "Those who know me say that I am worried, and those who do not know me say that I want something, alas, ......"

"Phew, you kid just pretend, hey, you say, as long as you get into the top eight, there will be a high bonus." I've heard that the champion is 100,000, the runner-up is 80,000, the third runner-up is 60,000, the third runner-up is 40,000, and the rest of the top eight people are 20,000 each!

Ah, let's go to the big hotel to eat lobster!open red wine!take a sauna!***!When the time comes, we can do whatever we want! That day, it's called a moisturizer, haha......"

Zhang Shaoyu looked at Li Dan's eyebrows and danced, his hands danced, and the spittle stars splashed on the monitor screen, and couldn't help but smile bitterly, this kid, where is this, he is calculating Lao Tzu's bonus. I estimate that if I really took 20,000 yuan, according to what he said, in less than two days, there will definitely be no dime left.

"Hey, it's okay to say, this ***, you just go, ah, buddy pay the bill, you enjoy it, I won't go!" Zhang Shaoyu said with a smile, and walked to the front of the computer as he spoke. I don't know what I'm doing these days, and I haven't been online, so let's see if I'm not here today, talk to him well, and get some insider information.

"Okay, okay, you have Senior Sister Yang, I won't force it, when the time comes, our three brothers will go together, I want three, Brother Liang's physique is weak, two is enough, Liu Lei......" Speaking of this, it was like someone pinched and speechless.

Zhang Shaoyu sighed secretly in his heart and opened QQ. Li Dan also felt bored and continued to stare at Xiaoqiang Cup.

"Pony, what have you been busy with lately? I haven't seen you online for a few days, if so, give me a reply, I have something to look for you. Seeing that the pony's QQ avatar was gray, Zhang Shaoyu left this sentence.

Unexpectedly, the pony was actually invisible, and as soon as the message was sent, he immediately replied: "Dizzy, I'm here." I'm looking at the PK list of the Xiaoqiang Cup, and yours seems to be ranked fifth in the Southwest Division, right?"

"Khan, are you there? Yes, my "Indifferent Smile" is ranked fifth, and it seems to have stabilized. Zhang Shaoyu was a little surprised, and originally planned to ask him some news straight to the point, but after thinking about it, he still took his time and couldn't be in a hurry. In case a person's company stipulates that there is a confidentiality system, it will make people embarrassed.

"This result is already good, your southwest division has the most works this time, and the competition is too fierce. Well, I'm in a good mood right now, hehe......" pony teased.

Zhang Shaoyu smiled, it's just a fifth place, what is there to be happy about. Even if it is selected, it is only the top 100 in the southwest region, and there is still a long way to go.

"No, it's just the top 100 in the Southwest Division. ”

"Yo yo yo yes, boy, do you know who that guy behind you is?" asked Pony. Zhang Shaoyu was a little strange, the one behind me, that is, ranked sixth in the Southwest Division? At that moment, he immediately opened the official website of the Xiaoqiang Cup and looked at the guy who ranked sixth.

Zeng Shijie, the song title is "Nocturne", as soon as he saw the title of the song, Zhang Shaoyu sneered, wanting to rely on Jay Chou's new song to attract attention to himself, this trick is a little too bad. Click the preview button and listen to his songs, it feels average, it's above the level.

"Who is he? I listened to his songs, and I felt okay. After Zhang Shaoyu listened, he sent a message and asked.

Xiaoma's answer surprised Zhang Shaoyu: "He is a signed singer of a record company in Chengdu, he has been to our company before, but he didn't sign it, and then he returned to Chengdu, I know him." In fact, his creative level is not bad, but it's a pity that this time he was too eager for quick success, he didn't create well, and the song title was bad. ”

"Oh, no wonder, it's sixth. Zhang Shaoyu replied casually, thought about it, and added, "Xiaoma, this Xiaoqiang Cup competition, after the top 100 in each competition area comes out, how will the organizer arrange it?"

Xiaoma obviously saw Zhang Shaoyu's intentions, and replied: "Haha, boy, are you inquiring about the inside story?"

Zhang Shaoyu smiled: "Sort of, what's the matter?"

"No, it's nothing to tell you, I've been busy preparing to be a judge in the Northeast Division these days, and I've learned some inside information. After the top 100 are out, they will be concentrated in several big cities for field competitions. Your southwest division, needless to say, is also Chengdu, buddy, prepare well, I'm waiting for you to win the award!"

As expected, after the top 100 came out, there was really going to be a field competition. The top 100 in the Southwest Division gathered in Chengdu, it was really a dragon and tiger fight. It's a little exciting to think about. Okay, then let's come on, compete on the spot, and see how many pounds and taels you have.

"Yu Shao, buddy, I don't know if you want to hear it. Pony asked suddenly. Zhang Shaoyu guessed what he might say, what criticism should be made of his work, otherwise, he wouldn't be so roundabout.

"The two of us, don't beat around the bush, you can say it directly. Zhang Shaoyu replied happily.

The pony was silent for a long time, and finally sent a message: "If you want to win the prize this time, if you want to make it to the finals, now it's not enough." ”

"Oh, what's going on, tell me. After Zhang Shaoyu replied, he pushed the keyboard, took out his cigarette and smoked it. Pony is a man of the circle, and he definitely knows more than he does. In addition, he is a producer and has a lot of experience in this kind of competition, and he can't help but listen to his opinions.

"Okay, I'll just get to the point. This competition can be described as a gathering of masters. Like Xiaobai, needless to say, there are several singers who have signed contracts and even released albums. Their strength is not inferior to you at all, and some are even better than you. It's not a nice sound, don't mind. ”

Zhang Shaoyu hurriedly replied: "It's okay, that's the case." ”

"Okay, then I'll be relieved. After the top 100 comes out, then the top 50, then the top 32, and finally the top 16, do you know where the competition will be?" asked Pony.

Zhang Shaoyu's eyes rolled, and a thought flashed in his mind, it couldn't be ......

"Isn't it a TV station?"

Let me tell you, the organizer this time, in fact, there is SCTV, I believe you also know, since the opening of SCTV, there has been no status in China, and the ratings have always been relatively low among the local TV stations in the country. This time, they have invested a lot of money to broadcast the game in an all-round way.

After the top 50 in each region, they will broadcast it with some other TV stations. You should pay attention to the five divisions this time, there are five places in the southwest division, three in the southeast, four in the northeast, two in Hong Kong and Taiwan, and two overseas, forming the top 16 of the Xiaoqiang Cup.

From the top 16, they will go directly to the SCTV studio hall to compete, in a similar way to Super Girls, the top eight, the top four, and finally the finals, and the singers who enter the top four will sign directly with the record company, in addition to high bonuses. With your strength, you will have no problem qualifying from the Southwest Division, but if you want to reach the finals, you must start from the top 100 and have always been the first in the Southwest Division. ”

Zhang Shaoyu frowned, is this necessary? As long as he qualifies, he will be qualified to advance to the next stage of the competition, what does it matter how many places he wins?

"Wrong, buddy, if you keep going to the quarterfinals as the first place in the southwest division, you have enough capital to make the judges look the other way at you, which is very helpful for the finals. Believe me, it's good for you, after all, I also hope that you can enter the finals, and when the time comes, hehe, don't forget what you promised me at the beginning, if you want to enter the entertainment industry, you must sign with our company. ”

Zhang Shaoyu finally understood, I said, how could you kid break so much information, it turned out to be this idea.

"Okay, I'll listen to you, let's talk about it then, I haven't written a word yet. What if I don't even qualify for the Southwest Division?" Zhang Shaoyu said jokingly.

The pony seemed to have a plan in his chest: "Don't worry, with me, you will definitely be the first in the southwest division." ”

Zhang Shaoyu was a little puzzled, and when he was about to ask the reason, Xiaoma said that there was something wrong and went offline first.

What does he mean by what he said, what do you mean, with him, I must be the first in the southwest division? He won't do any black-box operations, right? That's not possible, to participate in the competition, each based on strength, I don't want to rely on any relationship, go through the back door, if that's the case, I'm willing to quit the competition.

But think about it, he is just a judge, and this Xiaoqiang Cup, there are so many organizers, and even famous entertainment groups are involved, he wants to engage in black-box operations, but I'm afraid it's impossible. Gotta see what he's going to do.

On December 25th, only six days before the end of the month, Zhang Shaoyu's "Indifferent Smile" is still in fifth place, and it is crushed by the first four, it seems that it is almost impossible to move forward. And the sixth-place "Nocturne" and Zhang Shaoyu's "Indifferent Smile", the gap has gradually been widened, with a difference of more than 20,000 votes, and there is not much chance of catching up.
