Even Xiong Lu, who can be regarded as a half-fan of Xu Xi's media review, is not optimistic, let alone the rest.

After the performance of the dark grid band, the atmosphere of the scene has been pulled to a high point.

For viewers and media judges, the bar for excitement has also become higher.

If the Scream Band's performance does not continue to detonate the audience, it is destined to be a low vote.

Even if the performance is a little mediocre, there is a risk that it will fall below 80 votes.

Breaking the lowest record set by Feng Huan Group Feng in the previous issue.

The media judges were worried about Xu Ji's performance, but Xu Ji in the lounge looked very determined.

Including the four members of the Screaming Band standing on the stage at this time, they were not worried, but had an excited expression on their faces.

It seems that they have been waiting for the show to start for a long time.

......

The lights dimmed to the scene, first with a few regular drum kits and cymbals, and then with a sudden rush of electric guitars.

"This prelude?!

”

In the few seconds when the Scream Band began to perform officially, Xiong Lu suddenly felt that maybe her previous thoughts were wrong.

Xu Ji's screaming band may really be able to catch the hot atmosphere of the last dark grid band.

At the same time, the information of the song also appeared on the big screen,

"Road Song"

"Singing: Screaming Band"

"Composer: Xu Ji"

"Lyrics: Xu Ji"

Xu Ji's group of lyrics and songs turned out to be arranged by Xu Ji alone?

Before Xiong Lu and the other media judges could get entangled, Xu Zhize, the lead singer holding the microphone on the stage, spoke.

"Dreams, where"

"Always so desirable"

"I'm desperate to walk on the road"

"Just to come to you"

......

Xu Zhize only finished singing the first paragraph, and at this time, most of the media people on the scene realized that something was wrong.

This song? It seems to be different from the crotch pulling scene they expected in this group?

At this time, Xu Zhize still continued to sing:

"Dreams are not ahead"

"The stars are bright tonight"

"Thinking about the distance and thinking about the girl in my heart"

"It's been a long way back"

......

At this time, Xu Zhize was also immersed in the performance, and the whole person was unprecedentedly excited.

Before the audience could react, it was time for the chorus.

"Keep going south"

"Keep going south"

"Keep going south"

"Keep going south"

Then there was the general guitar solo like the prelude, and many people at the scene had excited expressions on their faces compared to the previous ones.

"Damn, this song seems pretty good!"

"It's not a break! Just after shaking with the dark grid band. ”

"This chorus is so brainwashing, people can't help but want to sing along!"

......

Xiong Lu also looked very excited.

Xu Ji's screaming band, this is to catch the live atmosphere left by the last dark grid band!

And there is even a feeling that it is going to be exceeded.

"Dreams, where"

"The rolling wheels roll the years"

"I don't want to be drunk and fall asleep anymore"

"To continue or to face"

......

Xiong Lu completely retracted his previous judgment of Xu Ji this time.

Xu Ji not only writes rock-style songs, but also imagines a higher level.

This "Road Song" does not have the same low quality as the previous "Crazy Animals".

Even in Xiong Lu's own opinion, she likes Xu Ji's song better.

At this time, the members of the Scream Band were very excited, and this performance was the most enjoyable they had since the band was founded.

The lead singer on stage, Xu Zhize, continued to sing:

"Dreams are not ahead"

"The light of dawn has been slightly illuminated"

"I seem to have heard flowers blooming"

"That's the light of the prairie star"

The lyrics of the second part have changed compared to the first part.

It's still simple, but the words are well written.

Many media judges who like to pay attention to the lyrics of the song have made a judgment in their hearts.

The second chorus came, and this time it was not only the lead singer Xu Zhize on stage, but also many audience and media judges at the scene sang along.

"Keep going south"

"Keep going south"

"Keep going south"

"Keep going south"

......

Although the lyrics of the chorus keep repeating these words, because the tone is changing, it doesn't feel boring.

On the contrary, it completely ignited the emotions of the audience.

The atmosphere of the scene has completely reached the highest point of this episode, which has surpassed the dark grid band in the previous show.

Xu Zhize completely let go, and he seemed to have returned to the time when the band was first established and performed on stage.

At this point, the whole song also comes to the final climax.

"Oooo

"Keep going south"

......

After the screaming band finished singing, many people at the scene were out of breath.

At the beginning, the eldest sister couldn't quite understand why the program team arranged for everyone to stand.

But at this time, many people finally understood.

The scene was so dry that even the vast majority of the media judges who were seated stood up.

The four members of the Screaming Band sang happily in this performance.

In the end, there were no mistakes, and it was better than every rehearsal before.

The host Guan Zimo came to the stage.

"The Scream Band's performance is over, please vote on the media judges."

......

Hearing the host's words, Xiong Lu naturally pressed the voting button without hesitation.

Before the Screaming Band took the stage, Xiong Lu predicted that Xu Ji would probably lose this time.

After all, Xu Ji had never written a rock song before.

And in the eyes of Xiong Lu, who has listened to all of Xu Ji's songs before, Xu Ji does not look like a person who is good at creating this type of song.

After listening to this "Road Song", Xiong Lu realized that she was simply wrong.

I don't know who Xu Ji and Feng Huan will win first this time.

Xiong Lu personally prefers Xu Ji's songs.

But Feng Huan's song is of high quality, and the performance of the dark grid band is almost perfect.

Xiong Lu on both sides voted, and whoever gets the first vote in the final will not be surprised.

"Xu Ji group, the final vote of the screaming band is ......"

"94 votes!"

When the voting results came out, Guan Zi silently read out the votes.

At this time, some people didn't react and asked, "Is it more than the previous dark grid band?" ”

......

Soon, the audience and media judges who remembered the votes of Feng Huan's group of dark grid bands subconsciously spoke.

"Votes tied?"

"94 votes? Isn't this the same as the last Darkgrid Band with the same number of votes? ”

"Damn, both groups have the same number of votes, is there going to be an extra game? I'm already looking forward to it! ”

"Don't think about it, forget that the show has an additional vote increase rule for audience support?"

......

Like the audience, many people in the lounge were surprised at this time.

There was a tie in the votes.

This is the first time it has appeared, and no one has thought of it before.

Feng Huan actually had a bad feeling when the prelude to the screaming band's song sounded.

The result is true, he used to think that Xu Ji's idea that he shouldn't be able to write rock songs is obviously wrong, and the other party not only can, but the level is obviously not lower than himself.

I didn't have much of a feeling before, but I just thought that Xu Ji could write songs of any genre, and he wrote them quite well.

It wasn't until now that he was in the field he was good at, and Feng Huan suddenly felt that Xu Ji, a young man, was like a pervert.

He even always had the feeling that Xu Ji hadn't even shown all his strength before, and he couldn't see the bottom.

His talent for composition in his youth is often referred to as a genius by the media.

But compared with the current Xu Ji, Feng Huan seemed to have suddenly understood at this time, and he seemed to be really not a genius at that time.

.......

Xu Ji didn't expect that he would be on par with Feng Huan's song this time.

In the past, Xu Ji actually didn't pay too much attention to Feng Huan's lyrics.

But today's "Crazy Animals" made Xu Ji know that he still underestimated these three songwriters.

In the past, they just happened to not meet the other party's area of expertise, and that was just their lower limit.

When you encounter a song style that you are good at, the quality of the songs that these people come up with will have a qualitative leap.

The name of the songwriter is really not for nothing.

......

The host Guan Zimo heard the discussion in the audience and explained steadily:

"According to our rules, although the Xu Ji group, the Scream Band and Feng Huan, and Fan Ruxin's group have the same number of votes."

"But the ranking of this issue is still not determined, and the additional votes for the audience support ranking need to be added later."

"So don't worry, there shouldn't be a tie in the final vote."

"Everyone has been saying that there is no suspense in the announcement of the last ranking, and the results of this issue can be regarded as meeting everyone's requirements."

......

The final ranking of this episode is estimated to be announced after the official broadcast of the show and when the next episode is recorded.

At the end of the recording of the show, Xiong Lu thought silently.

At this time, many people at the scene were hesitating, and after the show was broadcast, they would vote for the screaming band of the Xu Ji group or the dark grid band of Feng Huan's group.

......

The recording of the third episode of "I Am a Songwriter" is over.

When leaving the recording venue, Zhu Yan, who was screaming in the band, followed Xu Ji closely, for fear that the other party would escape.

Xu Ji said a little helplessly: "No need to do this, didn't they all promise to sign a contract with you just now?" ”

Zhu Yan was a little embarrassed after hearing Xu Ji's words.

"Get used to it."

Xu Ji: "......"

In the evening, Xu Ji had a meal with the four members of the Screaming Band.

Several members of the Screaming Band propose to drink to celebrate the success of the show.

But Xu Ji made it clear that the company does not allow drinking.

At least he doesn't drink it.

"Teacher Xu can't drink bars?"

Zhu Yan whispered there.

Xu Ji pretended not to hear.

Since the last time he was drunk with alcohol, Xu Ji has strengthened his determination not to drink.

And as the boss of the company, there is a rule that the boss cannot be allowed to drink.

Because of this, he was ridiculed by Sha Yetong for several days.

The next day, the Scream Band did not return to Hangzhou with Xu Ji.

Although they have signed a contract, they have already settled in other cities, and it is estimated that it will take a certain amount of time to prepare if they want to move to Chengdu to work.

......

On the third day after Xu Ji returned to Rongcheng after recording the third issue of "I Am a Songwriter", "The Beginning" was officially finalized.

And this time it was broadcast simultaneously on three platforms at the same time.

Under the cooperation and promotion of Station G, Kiwifruit, and Tudou Video, the publicity and distribution of "The Beginning" has been done very well.

Within a day of the scheduled broadcast, it had already rushed to the first place in the hot search.

Of course, this is also because many netizens have a great interest in this drama.

After all, this is the first drama of Ji Yiyang and She Yue after Xianjian Yi.

As soon as Fairy Sword was broadcast, the popularity of the two was already a proper line.

and is more popular than most first-line actors.

But after that, the two were much less exposed.

Ji Yiyang only participated in two popular variety shows and was a guest in two episodes.

She Yue didn't even participate in variety shows, at most she was posting a micro-special from time to time.

And it's still the kind that doesn't take a selfie.

This made fans of the two quite dissatisfied.

and began to complain that the artists of Tongji Entertainment are so inactive in business.

But after looking at the official Weite of Tongji Entertainment, which is not active in the update, I suddenly felt that the company itself was such a tonality.

Xu Ji naturally had no idea of forcing the company to operate with these artists.

Even in normal times, several people's micro-special have their own management rights.

The company did not take over, but let a few people decide for themselves.

Ji Yiyang's Weite is usually operated by the agent Sister Chen, so it's okay.

But She Yue's words, since she herself entered Tongji Entertainment, she has become more and more like she has seen through the red dust at a young age.

Ji Yiyang may not be on variety shows because he is lazy, but She Yue is completely because of his own personality.

That is, Tongji Entertainment, if she were to change to some other companies, she would definitely not let her be so willful.

Of course, Xu Ji didn't actually think about letting these people who signed contracts with the company go to receive notices to make money.

For Ji Yiyang and She Yue, he hopes that the two can concentrate on their identity as actors, instead of being blinded by fame and fortune.

In Xu Ji's memory, he has seen too many young actors who have not got any works after they have overdrawn their popularity, and finally completely cooled down.

Of course, for now, there is no need to worry about this.

......

"Ji Yiyang and She Yue starring? , I'm finally waiting for a new drama for the two to work on! ”

"That's great! Thinking that Li Xiaoyao and Lin Yueru in Fairy Sword are still uneasy, I hope this drama can make up for the regrets at that time. ”

"Ji Yiyang and She Yue have collaborated on three dramas? When will the two be made public? ”

......

Netizens were subconsciously looking forward to it at first.

But then some netizens noticed that the director of this drama was not Xu Ji.

If it were other dramas, netizens wouldn't care who the director was, but Xu Ji was different.

The reason why many netizens are looking forward to it, in addition to the two leading actors Ji Yiyang and She Yue, the most important thing is that they subconsciously think that the director of this new drama of the two will be Xu Ji.

"Who is Pauer? Why isn't the director Xu Ji? ”

"I searched just now, and it seems to be the assistant director of "The Best of Us" and "The Legend of Sword and Fairy".

"I also found out that this drama is not directed by Xu Ji, Xu Ji seems to be just a screenwriter."

"According to the filming time, when this "The Beginning" was filmed, Xu Ji should have been filming "Mountains and Seas"."

"How do you feel that if it's not Xu Ji, this drama is still a suspense theme, and it is likely to pounce?"

"Xu Ji's script, how bad can it be?"

"This is not good, if it is really a good script, how can Xu Ji not shoot it himself?"

......

When the news about "The Beginning" was first announced, many people were full of expectations.

But when they learned that Xu Ji was not the director of this drama, most people were a little disappointed.

Even many netizens thought that Xu Ji felt that this drama was not worth filming by himself, so he threw it to his assistant director.

Moreover, the audience of suspense-themed dramas is not very wide.

Although there is a fixed audience of moviegoers, those audiences who like suspense dramas are also very picky.

If something is slightly unreasonable or unsatisfactory to them, it will run out and spray.

In short, this audience is a group that everyone knows is not easy to serve.

Sang Shaolong recently did not find any other material except for the Amway video of "Mountains and Seas".

I was very excited to see the news about "The Beginning", but I found that the director this time was not Xu Ji.

But unlike many netizens, he was not so disappointed.

Although Xu Ji is no longer the director, it can be clearly seen that this drama still has traces of Xu Ji.

Not only is the director the assistant director of Xu Ji's crew, but the actors Ji Yiyang and An Cailing are also from Xu Ji's company.

Even the script written by Xu Ji also served as a producer.

Suspense drama?

Sang Shaolong is looking forward to what kind of suspense script Xu Ji can write.

......

Looking at the publicity of the drama "The Beginning" on the Internet, and at the same time, Station G, kiwifruit and potato videos have all started to promote, Xu Sheng is a little incomprehensible.

He has also heard some news about this drama, and the investment in the whole drama is not large.

And it is also a suspense drama with a relatively niche theme, although the current suspense drama has begun to appear one or two hits from time to time, but he still feels that this kind of publicity battle is a bit too exaggerated.

But since it's a simulcast, why didn't they get the copyright for Penguin Video?

Thinking of this, Xu Sheng simply called Wen Hao and asked the other party to come to his office.

......

"Mr. Xu, are you looking for me?"

After knocking on the door and coming in, Wen Hao spoke.

Since the last trip to Rongcheng, Wen Hao has known that the current penguin video, and he probably can't do anything.

"The Legend of the Fairy Tree"

Xu Sheng is in power, and even when he talks about copyright, the related budget has to be tied to Xu Sheng for so long.

So Wen Hao is now simply rotten.

Anyway, I don't want the so-called promotion and some achievements, just mix.

"Vice President Wen, I remember if you applied for a copyright fee of 80 million from me last time to talk to Xu Ji's company about the copyright of this "Beginning"?"

Wen Hao nodded.

"I couldn't talk about it."

Seeing Wen Hao's indifferent look, Xu Sheng frowned.

"Why are there several other companies besides our penguins, and even Station G has also gotten the simulcast rights?"

Wen Hao saw that the other party looked like a teacher asking for guilt, and couldn't help but scold in his heart: "Why don't you know yet?!"

”

However, on the surface, he still answered very politely.

"Mr. Xu, we don't have enough money."

"So I couldn't get the simulcast rights."

Xu Sheng was stunned for a moment.

Don't have enough money?

He didn't expect Wen Hao's answer at all.

If you buy exclusive broadcasting rights, 80 million may not be enough.

But how could the simulcast rights not be enough.

For Xu Sheng or the entire Penguin Video, it is rare to hear the words "not enough money" when buying film and television copyrights.

"How much is the copyright fee for the simulcast rights of the drama "The Beginning"?"

Wen Hao didn't intend to hide it, and replied truthfully: "The total simulcast copyright fee is 300 million." ”

"If we buy it too, we need to pay 90 million according to the proportion."

Xu Sheng was taken aback by the price.

subconsciously asked: "Isn't this "The Beginning" very little investment? Worth that much money? ”

If it is changed later, Wen Hao may have already started to quarrel with the other party.

But now he just replied, "It's okay." ”

Xu Sheng found Wen Hao's perfunctory attitude, frowned and asked, "Since it's only 10 million, why didn't you apply to me at that time?" ”

Wen Hao still replied firmly:

"Don't dare to go against the conditions set by Mr. Xu."

"You told me before you went at that time, if it exceeds this amount, then we Penguin Video should not be the big boss."

Xu Sheng was choked by the other party's words.

That's really what he said.

At that time, Wen Hao came to him and asked for 150 million.

In the end, he bargained, and he agreed to a budget of 80 million.

Thinking of this, Xu Sheng felt a little irritable inexplicably.

waved his hand.

"Okay, I know, you go out first."

Wen Hao still had that indifferent expression, didn't say anything, and left Xu Sheng's office directly.

After Wen Hao left, Xu Sheng's face was still not good-looking.

"I don't believe it, isn't it just the simulcast rights of a small investment drama, and if we don't get it, how much impact can it have on us!"

......

Station G, Chi Jiang's office in the film and television department.

"The Beginning" is about to be broadcast, and Station G has also obtained the copyright to broadcast it.

Isn't everything good?

The assistant couldn't understand why Chi Jiang still had a straight face.

Chi Jiang has watched all the episodes of the entire "The Beginning".

It's clear what the quality of the show is.

If nothing else, this time Station G bought the simulcast rights of this show, it should be impossible to lose.

But in the same way, because of the simulcast, Station G can't talk about where to make money compared to kiwifruit and potato videos.

This is also the first time that he has not obtained the exclusive broadcast rights of the other company's dramas from Xu Ji's hands.

The more Chi Jiang thought about it, the more he felt pity.

You should have been ruthless at the time.

Now that Xu Ji Company has no shortage of investment, the copyright of Xianjian II has not been sold in advance as before.

And several other families also began to slowly develop trust in Xu Ji.

If you want to get the exclusive broadcast right in the future, I am afraid it will only become more and more difficult.

Chi Jiang has long been determined to take Xu Ji Company as the most important cooperation object of Station G in the future.

This is also the only hope that the film and television side of Station G can catch up with several others.

But now......

Thinking of this, Chi Jiang suddenly stood up from his position, startling the assistants.

"Mr. Chi, what's wrong?"

Chi Jiang walked directly to the outside of the office, and then said to himself:

"I have to go to find Dong Chen!"

......
