Chapter 66: Take a Step Back, Expand the Sea and Sky (I)
For the "Voice of China" program team, the withdrawal of Li Haoran, Hou Lei and Ye Xuhuan did not have a great impact on the entire process of the competition, especially since there was still so much time before the finals, and they had plenty of time to adjust. @
However, when the news of Li, Hou, and Ye's withdrawal from the competition spread, a wave of public opinion attacks against Ning Qingzhou, which had obviously been planned for a long time, began to spread in the online world.
"The fox's tail was finally revealed, and Ning Qingzhou complied with the public opinion and kicked away the other members of the band, doing a good job."
"New skills in crossing the river and demolishing bridges, the champion is in sight, and the cumbersome ones have no use value? It seems that Ning Qingzhou really wants to enjoy the 'Voice of Shenzhou' exclusively! ”
"'Voice of China' staged a palace fighting drama to see the road to the top of the phoenix Nanning Qingzhou."
……
After several rounds of large-scale and organized smearing, coupled with the promotion of supporters of several other finalists, Ning Qingzhou's ungrateful image soon took shape, and the shallow reading habits formed in the Internet era made netizens accept the information they saw in front of them.
It seems that no matter how nonsense things are, no matter how many lies can't stand up to scrutiny, believers can be found on the Internet, which is a puzzling thing.
Nowadays, walking on a college campus, or sitting on a subway bus, or walking into a coffee shop, as long as you hear someone talking about the "Voice of China", you can almost hear a similar conversation:
"I didn't expect Ning Qingzhou to be such a person, talented and talented, but character teaches people not to be flattering, people can do anything to be famous."
"Yes, I used to like him quite a lot, but now that this kind of thing is exposed, I will instantly turn black to him, and I won't listen to his songs again in the future."
Of course, the popularity that Ning Qingzhou has accumulated since "Long Time No See" cannot disappear overnight, for celebrities, love and disgust are already at both ends of the same scale, and they always maintain an equal amount of balance, the so-called how many people love you and how many people hate you.
The smear jointly planned by Cao Zihuan and Yuan Xianyi certainly made many people disgusted with Ning Qingzhou, but at this level, it also attracted a lot of fans for Ning Qingzhou.
"The world is as black as a crow, and the entertainment industry is not like this, I like Ning Qingzhou's decisive character, and from today on, I will become a fan of Ning Qingzhou's passers-by."
"Isn't it okay if the song is good, why do you care so much, can you find good people in the entertainment industry? Look at so many people rushing to attack Ning Qingzhou, how much hatred? ”
"From "Angel's Wings" to "The Sea and the Sky", Ning Qingzhou has released a song and a popular song, it seems that it has poked the painful nerves of some people, is it Ning Qingzhou's black belly, or is there someone who is jealous?"
"It's a mediocrity not to be envied, and you're going to be light to the end!"
"Use a lyric from "Sea and Sky" to reply to those trolls: 'Indifferent people, thank you for looking down on me, let me not bow my head, and live a more wonderful life'."
Once this kind of dispute from speculation is opened, the final trend is often an uncontrollable chaotic war, which is a result that Cao Zihuan and Yuan Xianyi are willing to see, before they use the final killer move, the more chaotic the better, and the higher the attention, the better.
Because the higher you lift, the more painful and loud the fall becomes.
By mid-August, several mainstream media in the circle also began to pay attention to this matter, but Ning Qingzhou is now in the closed training stage and does not accept any media interviews, and Ye Xuhuan, Li Haoran, and Hou Lei are closely protected by their families and cannot be interviewed either.
Several media outlets, which were originally tendentious, found that they had eaten a newcomer's closed door, and of course they were not in a good mood, and in the press release on the street, they had a seemingly objective attitude and a very guiding "complaint" about Ning Qingzhou.
Sometimes, "a lot of whispers" are much more lethal than "scolding", because the former often seems real and more deceptive.
Even Ning Qingzhou, who has two lifetimes of life experience, has a lot of impact in the face of this situation, especially when he sees a few friends constantly comforting himself in the group and attacking the smearers, he feels particularly ridiculous and indignant.
When Ning Pingfeng, the younger brother who was in college, called, Ning Qingzhou finally realized the mood of those celebrities worried about their relatives and friends.
What's more, now Cao Zihuan and they haven't attacked them because of Cao Xian, once they transfer Cao Xian, the next thing may be even more troublesome.
By August 20th, the week-long rehearsal of "The Voice of China" began, and in order to ensure that nothing went wrong with the live broadcast, this repeated rehearsal was very necessary.
After the other three members of the Stray Cat left, Ning Qingzhou and Cao Xian's performance methods had to be adjusted, and the self-selected song "Sea and Sky" will be sung by the two.
Stray Cats as a band, although there are many advantages, but their disadvantages are also here, when the mentor scores, they may pay more attention to the lead singer's singing, but when the judgment is in the hands of the media and the audience, the expression of each member of the band will become very important, the highlights can be scored, and the flaws are enough to be fatal.
Now there are only two lead singers left, and the performance form is back to being simple.
After three days of rehearsals, the entire process of the live show was basically completely straightened out, and the next four days were further improved on a smooth basis.
On August 27, the countdown to the much-anticipated "Voice of China Finals" began, and under the influence of this atmosphere, the boiling quarrels on the Internet have subsided a lot, or began to gather momentum for the final blow.
In the early morning of the 28th, Cao Xian, who was sleeping soundly, suddenly received a call from his second brother Cao Ziwen, who spoke in a short tone on the phone, saying that his second uncle in the United States had a heart attack and had been rushed to the hospital.
Cao Xian immediately woke up from his sleepiness and asked more than a dozen times, "You didn't lie to me", Cao Ziwen replied: "Big brother, me, Zijian and Xiaohua are now preparing to go to the airport." ”
Cao Xian was completely stunned, she suspected in her heart that this might be a game of Cao Zihuan, but she knew that she didn't have any way to break the situation, even if there was only a 1 in 10,000 chance of this kind of thing, she had to go to the United States.
In the Cao family, there are not many people who can make Cao Xian feel warm, but the second uncle Cao De is definitely the first, that kind of love has been extended since childhood, and it has long been deep-rooted.
Fortunately, the live broadcast is tomorrow night, if it is confirmed to be fake, at least there is still time to rush back, so at first glance, it doesn't seem to be fake, otherwise why would Cao Zihuan have to leave himself two days and one night?
Despite this, Cao Xian still made a call to Cao Zijian, but before he could speak, he got the same news: "Eldest sister, do you want to go with us?" ”
“…… I'm walking from Shangjing. ”
After hanging up the phone, Cao Xian hurriedly knocked on Ning Qingzhou's door, told him about the matter, and asked him to help him ask for a leave, Ning Qingzhou comforted her and wanted to send her to the airport.
"You need a good rest these two days, I'll just take a taxi myself." Cao Xian said that he hurriedly went back to the room to get his mobile phone, wallet and a pair of documents, and he didn't even have time to pack his luggage, so he hurried to the airport while booking tickets on his mobile phone.
At this point, the penultimate member of the Stray Cat Band was finally successfully transferred.
After Ning Qingzhou returned to the room, he sat on the bed for five or six minutes, staring at the wall, motionless in a daze, drowsy at midnight, his thoughts were chaotic, and he also had his own decision.
When the day came, Cao Xian naturally didn't have any news back, but Wu Jizhong appeared in front of him again.
"Mr. Cao said that you are a smart person, and now you should understand what happened." Wu Jizhong, who was dressed in a black shirt, looked at Ning Qingzhou with a smile, suddenly looked sideways at Ning Qingzhou, and deliberately asked in that playful tone: "You, understand, right?" ”
Ning Qingzhou smiled but did not answer.
Wu Jizhong said: "Mr. Cao said, because you are more special, although he rejected him once in person, he still decided to give you another chance, as long as you make the right choice, whether it is writing a book or singing, you will get the best environment and the most abundant resources." Wu Jizhong said and stretched out his hand and nodded his head: "How is it, you know how much we Cao always cherishes talents, right?" ”
Ning Qingzhou's face sank like water, and he didn't want to talk to him about these things, so he asked in a mysterious way: "Can Sima Zhongda's head really turn one hundred and eighty degrees?" ”
"What did you say?" Wu Jizhong was stunned, feeling that this question was so clueless.
"Sima Zhongda." Ning Qingzhou repeated seriously: "Can his head really rotate one hundred and eighty degrees like a rubber?" ”
Wu Jizhong frowned and said, "Am I here to talk to you about this?" ”
"Wolf Gu Xiang, a very powerful person." Ning Qingzhou nodded and commented to himself: "But Mr. Wu, you still secretly remind your family President Cao or your chairman to be careful of that family." ”
"What the hell are you talking about?" Wu Jizhong was really a little confused.
"I still have something to do, so I won't accompany me much." Ning Qingzhou knew that Wu Jizhong still had a stomach to pretend, how could he give him this opportunity.
On August 28, the "Voice of China" program team collectively moved to the National Stadium for the last rehearsal before the live broadcast.
