Chapter 194: Bad News
The 22nd is the semi-final day of the Young Singer Competition, and as before, it is still recorded.
Although the scene had been arranged relatively well during the rehearsal yesterday, the program team of the Young Singer Contest was still busy since the morning, and the shouting, commanding, and laughter in the venue came and went.
Xue Xian is relatively leisurely, as the chief director, he controls the overall situation, and in terms of details, just leave it to his subordinates.
What he was more worried about was that Ding Ning only participated in the first rehearsal, and he did not participate in yesterday's rehearsal, and he made improvements to the stage yesterday, especially the stage effect, and I don't know if he can cooperate with Ding Ning's performance later.
Tickets were sold for the semi-finals, but by the time Ding Ning arrived early at noon, the audience had already lined up in long lines outside the venue.
The entrance of the contestants and the entrance of the audience are in opposite positions, but the car responsible for picking up the contestants in the Young Singer Contest program is too conspicuous, and when he passes by the audience's field of vision in the car, a sharp-eyed audience recognizes him, and the scene immediately screams.
That posture is like the previous LDC anniversary, and the fans are chasing Zheng Wei, Ding Ning waved to them through the car window, and his heart was warm.
As soon as Ding Ning entered the venue, Xue Xianzheng noticed it.
He hurriedly found Ding Ning, wanting Ding Ning to hurry up to the stage to rehearse and see what stage effects were suitable.
But Ding Ning's words scared Xue Xianzheng: "Director Xue, I want to quit the game after today's game." ”
Ding Ning's words were not said casually, but after careful consideration, he also discussed with his parents, Yang Du and others, and also received Xia Ziyan's support.
Just like the name of the Young Singer Contest and the strongest new voice. This stage belongs to newcomers and those who are not aspiring singers.
And now he is complacent, and the album "Seed" has sold nearly 800,000 copies. "Blue Lotus" broke platinum sales in two days, which can be said to be a blockbuster. has a foothold in the entire music world, and it is reasonable that it should no longer compete with a group of "rookies" in the Young Singer Competition.
took the initiative to withdraw, although it reduced his follow-up exposure in the Young Singer Contest and the strongest new voice stage, but it was conducive to his reputation.
What's more, recently he learned some insider rules of the Young Singer Competition, and learned that a person like him who stands on his own is not treated well by the program team, even if he walks on the stage of the strongest new voice, the future is not clear. Then there is no need for him to die in the Young Singer Competition.
Anyway, he has been invited a lot recently, including many well-known programs on star satellite TV, as long as he is willing, there are many opportunities for exposure, and there is no shortage of young singer competitions.
When Xue Xianzheng heard Ding Ning say that he was going to withdraw from the Young Singer Competition, his face turned white instantly, and he asked urgently: "Why?!" ”
Of course, Ding Ning would not tell Xue Xianzheng about his concerns about the unspoken rules, he just told Xue Xianzheng. His current results are no longer suitable for competing with other players on this stage, and it is unfair to other players to keep him.
To say it's unfair. On the face of it, there is, and it is hugely unfair.
"Blue Lotus" came out. Ding Ning's popularity soared, and he was in line with his previous prediction. On the player's popularity list, Ding Ning has the total popularity of one person. That's higher than the next nine players combined, and the gap is widening.
Such a popularity that is more crushing than crushing is completely locking the championship early.
But strictly speaking, this is not unfair, it's just that the gap in personal strength between the players is relatively large.
In which year's competition, there will be no gap in the strength of the players, that is, this year, there is an outlier like Ding Ning, so that it is particularly obvious.
In terms of rules, even if Ding Ning's results are better than now, there is not the slightest unfairness.
Ding Ning can fully meet the standards of the Young Singer Contest before participating in the competition, he can make such incredible results in such a short period of time, with his own strength, that is he is powerful, which contestant dares to complain and be dissatisfied.
Yes, you have to hold it back for me.
Besides, even if it's unfair, is this unfairness important?
For Xue Xianzheng, it doesn't matter at all.
Is there any reality show that is truly fair?
Aren't they all the forces behind each other competing for checks and balances, and each taking what it needs.
What really matters to him?
Ratings!
Ratings are the biggest criterion for judging his achievements.
He only knows that with such a popular figure as Ding Ning, the ratings of this year's Young Singer Contest in the Shenshi Division will definitely beat other competition areas, and it is completely expected to hit a record high.
But Ding Ning is going to quit now, which is bad news for him.
You must know that the limelight of this year's Shenshi Division was basically taken away by Ding Ning alone.
There are players who can barely compete with him in terms of comprehensive strength, but there is no one who can compete with him in terms of popularity.
If Ding Ning retires, who else will have something to watch in the Shen City Division?
Qiu Yiyi?
Pull it down, if you sing a folk song, unless you sing the flowers and sing the natural sound, it can become a highlight.
Qiu Yiyi's voice, although it is the most malleable among all the contestants, her singing style is too traditional, too deeply influenced by the famous folk singer Dong Danfeng, lacks personal characteristics, and there are not enough eye-catching things, so far there has not been much change, no matter how good she sings, she can only be said to be an excellent imitator of Dong Danfeng.
Jiang Yu?
If Ding Ningda hadn't appeared or sung rock from the beginning, her tomboy-like rock might have become a landscape.
It's a pity that "Blue Lotus" came out, so what happened to her.
Cao Liya?
Recently, the popularity is firmly in the second place, but the on-the-spot performance is up and down, the shortcomings are obvious, and there are as many controversies as there are controversies, so she wants to replace Ding Ning as the iconic figure of this year's Young Singer Competition, unless Qiu Yiyi's skills are lent to her.
The rest of them, in his eyes, can't be put on the table, and they don't deserve to carry Ding Ning's shoes.
And how many viewers are willing to watch the games that are not watched?
So far in the game, after the advanced players have been determined, the audience's freshness of the new contestants has almost retreated, and the ratings are largely supported by the retention of the contestants and the audience's liking and expectations for them.
In the past few sessions, the highlights of the contestants were basically in a state of a hundred flowers blooming and a hundred schools of thought contending, but this year, it is completely Ding Ning who is the only one, so as soon as Ding Ning leaves, there is no need to think about it, and the ratings will definitely be affected.
Moreover, he had made a military order with Ke Dechang before, saying that he would definitely let Ding Ning win the championship.
In such a situation, anyone can go, but Ding Ning can't, Xue Xian is full of urgency: "Your results are obtained by strength, and no one will feel that there is anything unfair." It would also be irresponsible for you to quit now. ”
No one will feel that it is strange if it is unfair, it is irresponsible, the program and him themselves are mutually exploiting each other, since the program team had planned to deliberately target him before, he wants to quit, there is no such thing as irresponsibility.
You are only allowed to target me, and I am not allowed to withdraw, this is power.
Others may be frightened by such a righteous and awe-inspiring reason, but Ding Ning only felt very uncomfortable when he heard Xue Xian pressing him with responsibility: "I am talking to Director Xue about this now, and I came out of a sense of responsibility." As for fairness, I think Director Xue and everyone know it. (To be continued......)
