"News I Comment" is a CCTV news commentary program, the main thing is that the two hosts get together to talk about some recent news, not necessarily international events, sometimes it may be some trivial things, and occasionally they will connect with reporters or viewers outside.

Because the hosts will have some unique insights from time to time, and the dialogue between the two is also quite funny and close to the people, "News I Comment" ranks in the top ten in the ratings of CCTV programs all year round.

And as the Fengwang Competition began to warm up, this program under CCTV also began to promote it.

"Hey, Lao Zhang, I don't know how to do it lately, my right eyelid, old jump! Do you think there's something big going on? Every time my left eyelid jumps, something big is going to happen to me, and my right eyelid jumps because something big is going to happen in China! The host Xiao Yang said in a trick.

"Xiao Yang, as your senior, I have to say that you can apply special functions to your eyelids! Because, there is really a big event to happen this time, and it is a major event that at least hundreds of millions of Chinese people will pay attention to! The host Lao Zhang teased.

"Oh? Let me think. Rice price increases? A change in the chairman? Aliens are attacking Earth? ”

"Khan! Can you be reliable?! The major event I am talking about happened in the entertainment industry, and it can be described as a biennial event in the entertainment industry! ”

"Oh, I see. Is it the king competition in the Chinese music scene? Xiao Yang suddenly realized.

"That's right, it's the king competition in the Chinese music scene! This Wang Sai, it has a history...... Lao Zhang seemed quite emotional.

Xiao Yang interjected: "I know this, the King Championship was held in early 2000, and it has been 16 years since then. ”

"Yes! I want to be at the beginning. This Wang Sai caused a sensation when it first came out, because it was co-organized by CCTV and the three giant companies in the entertainment industry. Moreover, it is not an exaggeration to say that the original advertising was flying all over the sky! Since the beginning of 2000 it has been held for the first time. It has been 16 years since the 8th session was held in early 2014 and now the 9th session is now being held in early 2016! What talent show can stand the test of time for so long? It is not an exaggeration to say that the title race is a miracle! ”

"CCTV supports, the three giants of the entertainment industry support, major stars are enthusiastic, and the competition is exciting. Coupled with every overwhelming publicity, it has simply stained all the advantages it can have, and its popularity is naturally low. "Xiao Yang thinks that it is natural that the King Race can survive!

"Well, speaking of which, there's something you may not know about Xiao Yang." Lao Zhang sold a pass.

"Oh? Let's hear it. ”

"If you want to talk about this king's race. When it first came out in early 2000, it caused a lot of controversy, and some people were not optimistic about it, thinking that the three giants of CCTV and the entertainment industry were really pumping. ”

"And such a history? How did I not know? Lao Zhang, you come and hear it. Xiao Yang said curiously.

"It's very simple, you see, the king race, the king race, who gave you the king? CCTV? No. CCTV will not give singers official titles in this regard. So, who gave you the title of king? Because of this problem, some people thought that CCTV and the three giant companies in the entertainment industry gave this competition such a domineering name. It's really grandstanding. ”

"But...... It turns out that those people are wrong, right? Xiao Yang smiled.

"Yes!" Lao Zhang also smiled, "CCTV is not the king, it is the fans who give the champion the king!" Although CCTV does not award the official title, since it participated. The title tournament also has an official authority that other draft competitions do not have, which is one of them. Second. There is also the joint participation of the three giant companies in the entertainment industry, which makes it authoritative in the entertainment industry. Third. The King Contest is very popular! Very high! And under this kind of attention, it is not impossible for the singer's popularity to grow explosively. Fourth, although each of the three giants in the entertainment industry has five guaranteed places, the invitation to the remaining 17 places is in the hands of CCTV! And the invitees were all the most qualified people in the entertainment industry at that time. This ensures the quality of the contestants to the greatest extent! And the champion selected among them is naturally the king of the music world. ”

Xiao Yang nodded and said: "Indeed, in my impression, the 32 contestants in each of the eight championships are basically the 32 most popular or strongest in the Chinese music scene at that time. ”

"Well, so, after these eight champions came out, their popularity was already very high, and then according to their respective developments, they have now become the Four Heavenly Kings and the Four Little Heavenly Kings respectively!"

"Hey...... In fact, the so-called Four Little Heavenly Kings did not develop well after winning the championship, and their popularity fell! Although their popularity is very high, compared with the Four Heavenly Kings, it is far behind, and even, among the contestants this time, there is a player whose popularity is higher than the so-called Four Little Heavenly Kings. Xiao Yang said disdainfully, he was really not afraid of offending people.

However, if you are afraid of offending people, I am afraid you will not be able to be the host of the news commentary column.

"yes, you mean Ye Yu, right? Indeed, Ye Yu's popularity is too high. However, it will not be easy for him to win the championship. Lao Zhang said.

Xiao Yang asked suspiciously, "Why is this?" The so-called king competition should be the most popular and strongest among other singers in the entertainment industry in addition to the previous champions! With Ye Yu's popularity, the champion should be at your fingertips, right? ”

"No, no." Lao Zhang shook his head and said, "You forgot to consider two factors. First of all, the king competition is based on the method of media + audience voting, and finally gets a comprehensive score. There are 100 media outlets, and each media gets 100 points for one vote, while the audience gets 1 point for 100 votes, a difference of 10,000 times! How many media can Ye Yu's popularity influence? You must know that these 100 media are either large-scale comprehensive media, or media that focus on the entertainment industry, but there is no kind of media that focuses on the literary world. Besides, to be honest, most of the media have a bad relationship with him, and it is because of him that many media have been investigated by the top. Although he sometimes praises him, when it comes time to vote, he is not sure whether he will vote for him. Secondly, even if Ye Yu behaves worse than others, he will vote for him, only iron fans, and although Ye Yu is popular, how many iron fans can there be? ”

"Then Ye Yu doesn't have any advantages?"

Lao Zhang said affirmatively: "Indeed." His popularity has brought him a certain advantage, but the discord between him and the media has brought him a lot of disadvantages, plus he is not affiliated with the three giants of the entertainment industry...... Overall, it's at a disadvantage. ”

"Yes, the three giants of the entertainment industry have considerable influence on many media in the entertainment industry!" Xiao Yang sighed.

Lao Zhang said with a smile: "Of course, if Ye Yu behaves better than others, so that those passers-by fans, and even complete passers-by, pick up their mobile phones and vote for him, it will be a complete blow to all other players!" ”

"By the way, the preliminary round of the King Championship should be about to start, right?" Xiao Yang asked.

Lao Zhang nodded and said, "That's right, the official start time of the King Sealing Tournament has always been more than 20 days before the Spring Festival, and it is held every other week. Before the Spring Festival, they are 32 into 16, 16 into 8 and 8 into 4! The next four into two and the championship are in the holiday after the Spring Festival! It can be said that the popularity of the Fengwang Tournament is inseparable from the fact that its last two games were during the Spring Festival holiday. ”

"There's a Spring Festival Gala in between!" Xiao Yang sighed.

This kind of schedule of the game, I'm afraid it's just a championship game.

Lao Zhang said with a smile: "Therefore, every year the top four will compete for the Spring Festival Gala, in order to accumulate some popularity and increase the chances of winning before the final competition." It can even be said that the Spring Festival Gala has also added some help to the King Competition. ”

"There are so many help and advantages, and it is really worthy of the word king."

……

On January 13th, when many media in Huaxia were reporting on the Fengwang Competition, and the other 31 players were preparing for the competition, Ye Yu was writing an update of tomorrow's "Amorous Swordsman Ruthless Sword".

Chapter 4 "Beauty and Beauty"

Writing and writing, a strange feeling came out of Ye Yu's heart.

After reading this book, he naturally knew that this stunning girl who seduced Li Xunhuan with her beauty was Lin Xian'er, and she was also a big villain in "Amorous Swordsman Ruthless Sword", but ...... Why does this name sound familiar?

Frowning and thinking for a while, Ye Yu suddenly realized that I will go, why is this name so similar to Lin Shi'er? (Well, it's actually that the author chose the name too casually at the time...... ）

What if this is written out and misunderstood?

So, Ye Yu waved his pen and changed "Lin Xian'er" to "Lin Xian'er".

……

Since Xianshui City is the political and economic center of China, almost equivalent to Beijing on the earth in the previous life, the venue for the Fengwang Contest is here! Ye Yu also saved the effort of running around.

Even, sometimes, Ye Yu will be glad that his home is in Xianshui City, because many important national competitions and programs are held in this city.

Just like the last New Year's Eve party, if you live in another city, I'm afraid you will have to leave at least half a month in advance, after all, you need to rehearse.

And he lives in Xianshui City, so there are not so many problems.

After the rehearsal, drive home. The party is over, drive home.

It's more than a step easier.

In fact, the King Championship has been promoted one after another more than half a year ago. But it wasn't until a week ago that the list of invitees was announced. And after that, propaganda, warm-ups, etc., worked like crazy.

More than half a year of publicity, plus a week of warm-up, this is the usual practice of the king competition.

Even, with its popularity in China, it actually doesn't need much publicity at all.

On January 15th, Xianshui City, the preliminary round of the King Contest was 32 into 16, and the competition started! (To be continued)
