Chapter 165, Ratings! (4th Update)
Originally, Xu Rui planned to consider inviting Korean singers to participate in "The Masked Singer" after a while, but at this moment, he just called Jessica, and the other party did meet the selection conditions of the participating singers, so Xu Rui told her in advance.
Xu Rui's words obviously overwhelmed Jessica, and most importantly, she personally couldn't decide her own itinerary, so it was difficult to answer whether Xu Rui was able to participate or not.
Although such a competition should have a significant effect on improving its own exposure and portfolio exposure, after all, the Chinese market is so huge, and even from the company's style of selecting trainees in recent years, the Chinese market must be the object that the company is ready to develop in the future.
It's just that...... His own combination has just recovered a little bit of vitality, and I don't know if the company can agree to Xu Rui's invitation at this time.
"Of course I'm interested, it's a good thing to be able to go to China to participate in Xu Rui's show, but I'm not sure if the company will agree, I debuted not long ago, and the previous group was tepid, so I can't influence the company's thoughts at all." Jessica sighed softly, a hint of helplessness between her words.
"You don't have to worry about that. If you don't object, let my staff negotiate with S.M. for the rest, don't worry! This kind of good opportunity to be able to promote in China, S.M will not let go. Xu Rui said very surely.
The main reason why he is so sure is that he has already dealt with S.M when he went to South Korea, otherwise, it would not be possible for "GEE" to be promoted as the main song of Girls' Generation.
At that time, Xu Rui felt that S.M had some intentions to develop in the Chinese market, and it was only after that that Han Geng and Jessica came to Changsha to participate in the "Youth Undefeated" hosted by him.
"Well, okay then." Jessica answered. For some reason, in front of Xu Rui, she often shows this kind of well-behaved and obedient little woman character, and even she herself sometimes can't tell why this is so.
Time passed bit by bit, and the two of them were lying on their respective beds, chatting word by word, and unconsciously making phone calls for nearly an hour.
In the process of chatting with Jessica. Xu Rui also gradually relieved his initial nervousness, and from time to time talked about some interesting things in the Chinese entertainment industry to share with each other.
For example, you have to worship God when the movie starts, for example, you have to stay in a hotel after work when you want to film, and how many satellite TV stations there are in China, etc. I only heard Jessica fascinated for a while, and said that she had deep qualifications in the future, and she must apply with the company to come to China to see more.
However, in fact, what really attracted Jessica was not these customs in China and the experience of the entertainment industry, but Xu Rui. It is precisely because Xu Rui is in China that Jessica hopes to come to China more often.
The time was close to zero o'clock, and a jessica yawned suddenly from the earpiece in Xu Rui's ear.
Korean artists are much harder than domestic artists, although there is no shortage of busy announcements in China, and artists who often fly to and from various places throughout the day, but in general, the workload of Korean artists is still far greater than that of domestic artists.
Hearing the other party's yawn, Xu Rui smiled softly, and then said, "There must be few opportunities to sleep well during this time, right?" I didn't expect to have a chance to take a break and occupy me alone, I'm really embarrassed. ”
"Nope. OK. In fact, it has only been busy since the release of the mini album, and in the past, except for Yoona and Taeyeon, the members spent more time in the dormitory or going to the company to practice. Jessica explained.
"Alright, it's not too early, you should rest too." After this phone call, Xu Rui's mood was also a lot happier, although he couldn't say that he wasn't worried at all, but on the whole, he was relatively calm.
As the saying goes: do your best, obey the destiny of heaven.
I did what I had to do. I have worked hard, and as for the final results, there seems to be no better way to solve it than to gladly accept it, can the ratings be faked? That's in addition to lying to yourself. Is there any other deeper meaning?
"Xu Rui Oba won't be cranky anymore, right?" Jessica asked, a little uneasy. "My announcement tomorrow is eight o'clock in the morning, and I can still accompany Oba for a while."
"Not anymore." Xu Rui shook his head with a smile, and a little helplessness rose in his heart at the same time, when did he become fragile enough to need such care from a girl?
"You should rest early. Although it is 8 o'clock in the morning, you still have to rush to the dormitory early, and you have to put on makeup and so on. Originally, there was not much time to rest, and the notices were one after another, so it was better to sleep a little longer, maintain sufficient physical strength, and don't be dragged down by the busy schedule. ”
Xu Rui said a lot of words to Jessica for the first time, and this was a unique thing in the past, not that he didn't know, but he just regarded Jessica as an ordinary friend before.
However, through today's incident and this phone call, Xu Rui found that he and the other party still have a lot of topics to talk about.
In other words, Jessica once again refreshed her favorability in Xu Rui's heart, if she was an ordinary friend before, then now she should be a good friend who can chat freely.
"Well, okay then. Good night Oba. A smile appeared on Jessica's lips and she said sweetly.
"Good night." Xu Rui smiled, and then took the initiative to hang up the phone.
Nothing was said all night.
In the early morning of the next day, Xu Rui got up from bed early, hurriedly washed up and changed his clothes, and went straight to the Jiangxi Provincial Satellite TV Radio and Television Building without even eating breakfast.
Summoned all the main creative team of the program group to the conference room, Xu Rui sat in the first place, and gently tapped the conference table with both hands, in order to divert his anxiety at this moment.
"Did the Sofrey ratings and market share report come through?" Xu Rui looked at Zheng Yawen on his right hand and asked.
Although the real-time ratings cannot be counted, after a night, the ratings and ratings ranking of "The Masked Singer" at the same time last night should have been counted.
"Eun, I've already brought it." Zheng Yawen nodded, and then took out an A4 paper-sized report from the folder and prepared to hand it to Xu Rui.
"You don't have to show it to me, you can read it."
Xu Rui waved his hand and motioned for Zheng Yawen to read the above rankings, while he himself leaned his head back on the boss's chair, his eyes slightly closed, and quietly listened to the final result. To be honest, the reason why he didn't watch it was more or less because he was a little afraid that his expectations would come to naught. (To be continued.) )
