Chapter 44: The Third Performance, Selected Songs, and Grouping
After the first and second episodes of the fourth episode of "Rising Star" were broadcast, Fang Xing's ranking on the popularity list soared like a rocket.
Originally, large companies such as Chaoyin Culture and Baichuan Entertainment still wanted to operate the list and squeeze Fang Xing out of the top ten.
A lot of money was spent on this.
Now, though, the money can be saved.
Because of Fang Xing's popularity list, he directly rushed into the top three, ranking first, second and third with Wu Junchen and Liu Yichen.
In the current situation, it is basically impossible to squeeze Fang Xing out of the top ten.
Chaoyin Culture originally said that Fang Xing, Wu Junchen and Liu Yichen would be made into a limited group trident.
Now you don't need to build it, it's already a three-legged stand.
For this reason, He Hongtu, the big boss of Chaoyin Culture, was also alarmed.
Fang Xing is on the popularity list, and on the surface it seems that he is only in third place, but Chaoyin Culture can get the detailed data of Penguin Video "Tomorrow's Star", and knows that the real situation is far more serious than it seems on the surface.
Because of Wu Junchen and Liu Yichen's popularity votes, many of them are crowdfunded by fans, plus the popularity accumulation of "Idol Times" and the operation of the brokerage company.
However, Fang Xing's popularity vote is another matter entirely.
Since there is no crowdfunding list, no company operation, most of Fang Xing's popularity votes are free votes.
are all those sand sculpture netizens, while posting a barrage [I want to hack you for the rest of my life], while voting.
The total number of votes is still the most Wu Junchen, but judging from the background data of Penguin Video, the number of votes for Fang Xing has surpassed Wu Junchen.
If this continues, the situation will be out of control.
What makes Chaoyin Culture even more dissatisfied is that Fang Xing has not signed a brokerage contract so far.
Under normal circumstances, entertainment companies have ways to deal with these trainees.
Hidden, blocked, eliminated, any move can press this kind of trainee who is not on fire to death.
However, Fang Xing is a master who does not advance in oil and salt, and he doesn't even mind quitting the competition and going back to school to continue his studies.
Before the fourth episode of "Tomorrow's Star" was broadcast, Fang Xing's popularity was not so high, and Chaoyin Culture still wanted to take care of it.
Now that they have all rushed to the top three on the popularity list, the situation is getting more and more wrong.
If other entertainment companies contact Fang Xing, then things will not be easy to handle.
At a regular working meeting of Chaoyin Culture.
He Hongtu rarely attended the regular meeting, looked at the management of the artist department, knocked on the table and asked, "I heard that this Fang Xing does not have a brokerage company, have you sent someone to contact you?" ”
The management of the artist department had a strange expression, and no one dared to speak.
Liu Rongxuan, the artist director, put down the pen and replied: "I have already sent someone to talk, but the other party's conditions are too high, and he refuses to sign a high-level contract." ”
Usually, there are three types of contracts in entertainment companies: ordinary, high-end, and top-level.
The corresponding artist shares are 20%, 30% and 40% respectively.
Trainees like Wu Junchen, who was 14 or 15 years old, were recruited by the company for training, and usually signed ordinary contracts.
After listening to the report of his subordinates, He Hongtu reminded: "I heard that Baichuan Entertainment and Songshi Records, and they are also interested in the other party's awakening, what should you do?" ”
The conference room was quiet for a long time before Liu Rongxuan said out loud: "For such a trainee, according to the company's standards, he can only give a senior contract at most, but he refused. ”
He Hongtu coughed and said, "Then give him a top-level contract." By the way, we released the news, saying that we were going to make Fang Xing, Wu Junchen and Liu Yichen into a limited group trident, which made Baichuan Entertainment want to reach out. ”
"Fang Xing's successive episodes of the show are all the first hot searches, and it is estimated that they have floated. When it came time to negotiate a contract, he asked for a platinum contract, and I was afraid that he wouldn't want ......to sign a top-level contract."
Liu Rongxuan has been doing this for this time, and then added: "Moreover, I talked to the producer, hoping to suppress Fang Xing's popularity, but Tong Fei's temper, Mr. He should also know it."
"If he wins again in the next performance, it will be difficult to suppress his popularity."
He Hongtu pondered for a moment and said, "Since this is the case, then arrange for Wu Junchen and Liu Yichen to fight him once, so that he can lose miserably, so that he can recognize his identity." ”
Liu Rongxuan immediately nodded and agreed: "In this case, it will be much easier, the company invited the Korean production team to create a new single for Wu Junchen and Liu Yichen."
"If Mr. He agrees, we can premiere these two singles on "Rising Star".
"First, you can play songs in advance, and second, you can send the Korean production team over to create the most shocking stage for Wu Junchen."
He Hongtu nodded and agreed: "Yes, just do it." Let him lose once, know the strength of the company, and he will sign the contract honestly. ”
……
On the second day of the fourth episode, the program team immediately began to record, grouping and selecting songs for the next performance.
Lu Ming, Shao Yu, Guo Keda and Wang Huajun were a little nervous.
Because if they are regrouped, they may not be on the same team as Fang Xing.
Fang Xing used four songs out of the circle to prove his strength to explode the table.
Moreover, during this time, they get along well, as long as there is nothing wrong with their brains, they all want to hold this big thick leg.
Not only did Lu Ming and the four of them want to hug their thighs, but the trainees from other groups also began to express their kindness to Fang Xing intentionally or unintentionally.
In particular, the trainees in the next dormitory often find excuses to come to their dormitories to chat.
Even the youngest Lu Ming could see that these people wanted to hug Fang Xing's big thick legs.
Moreover, these people do still have a chance.
Because there are only five people in their team, there is still room to collect people.
……
Ten o'clock in the morning.
The choreographer informs everyone to go to the selection hall.
When Fang Xing and a few people came to the song selection hall, they felt different from last time, and the air was much fresher.
Because this time there was no encounter with Hashem.
This time, Hashem was completely eliminated, and on the evening of the performance, he packed up his things and left the training camp.
This time, there were a lot fewer people in the selection hall, because after two battle royales on the stage, there were only 45 people left.
Lu Ming was originally in Class D, if he hadn't met Fang Xing, he should be lying on his sofa now, watching the show with envy on his face.
After everyone arrived, Shen Xiyin once again stepped into the song selection hall: "Hello everyone, I'm here again." ”
When Lu Ming saw Shen Xiyin coming in, his palms began to tremble.
Guo Keda bumped him with his elbow and asked, "What's the matter with you?" What to shake? ”
Lu Ming said worriedly: "It's time to regroup, if I am assigned to another team, I don't want to compare." ”
"I'm afraid of a hammer, anyway, I'm with Brother Dingfang." Guo Keda is actually worried.
He was very forced in his heart, and he knew that holding Fang Xing's thigh tightly was the only way to advance.
Lu Ming looked at Fang Xing and asked, "Captain, we won't be separated, right?" ”
Fang Xing glanced sideways at the director team and said, "This depends on whether the director team changes the rules or not, in short, if I am still the captain, I will definitely choose you." ”
"That's it."
"That's it."
The five of them stretched out their hands, pressed them together, and made an agreement.
