Chapter 323 Xiang Zhenghui’s disgusting operation makes Xu Ji angry
Qin Yuanfeng's only thought at this time was that Xiang Zhenghui was crazy.
Let’s not talk about the fact that Xu Ji and Sha Yetong’s programs failed to pass the preliminary round.
Just to say that among the artists who successfully passed the primary election this time, the number of artists under Phoenix Entertainment was as high as fourteen, and there were five programs in total, which is equivalent to blatant.
Do you really think everyone is a fool?
Although it will not be broadcast, the videos of these artists' preliminary rounds will be kept.
And there were so many people watching at the scene.
Such behavior is really stupid.
Although he, as the general music consultant of the Spring Festival Gala, is indeed a soy sauce role.
No actual decision-making power.
But this does not mean that Qin Yuanfeng cannot respond to and report Xiang Zhenghui to his superiors.
If it is confirmed that the other party has taken advantage of Phoenix Entertainment, there will definitely be no way to continue to be the director of the Spring Festival Gala.
It is very likely that you will be banned directly because of this.
......
The day after the conversation with Qin Yuanfeng ended, the other party did not appear in the Spring Festival Gala studio again.
"Guide, I just heard Qin Yuanfeng say that he was going to report you."
The partner Xiang Zhenghui brought to participate in the Spring Festival Gala and the deputy director of the Spring Festival Gala began to speak at this time.
"Report?"
"Report me for what?"
Hearing such words, Xiang Zhenghui acted very calm.
"The director has the right to decide the program."
"The previous Spring Festival Gala featured singers familiar to the audience. What's wrong with using new singers this year?"
"Is it possible that the Spring Festival Gala always has such a large number of people?"
"Who said that if Xu Ji came to participate in the primary election, I must use it?"
Naturally, the assistant director didn't know that he had reached a deal with Xiang Zhenghui and Phoenix Entertainment.
But just looking at the number of artists from Phoenix Entertainment among the artists who passed the primary election, we can find clues.
Although it is said that every Spring Festival Gala of the three major universities will definitely have artists participating.
But basically, it is normal to maintain around four or five people. At most, seven or eight people are selected in the primary election, which is considered a relatively large number.
Only this time, the number of people suddenly increased to fourteen, and they also directly took over five programs of the Spring Festival Gala.
Who would believe that the director who made the decision, Xiang Zhenghui, has no problem?
But all decisions made by Zhenghui are in compliance with regulations.
Although there are many newcomers to the artists at Phoenix Entertainment, their performance is not bad.
After all, the three majors have so much background, and a newcomer like Qin Yi sang an original song of high quality during the primaries.
These people chosen by Xiang Zhenghui definitely meet the program standards of the Spring Festival Gala.
As for why you didn’t choose Xu Ji and Sha Yetong, whom everyone thinks are better, or some other programs.
This really cannot be used as a reason to report Xiang Zhenghui.
Just because he, as a director, has his own ideas and preferences, there is no way to solve it.
Xiang Zhenghui knew this, so he acted so unscrupulously.
Of course, these are not the key.
The most important thing is the official side. The person in charge of the official TV station responsible for the Spring Festival Gala this time was formerly from Phoenix Entertainment.
And he has a good relationship with former chairman Li Xingyao.
Although we didn’t have much contact after joining the official TV station, the friendship is still there.
This is also the news revealed to Xiang Zhenghui by Phoenix Entertainment.
Otherwise, no matter how many reasons Xiang Zhenghui has, depriving him of the position of director of the Spring Festival Gala is just a matter of one sentence.
......
"Sister He, I actually passed?"
In a hotel in the capital, Pei Yi, who had not yet left, felt a little incredible.
Her agent obviously didn't expect Pei Yi to actually pass the primary election.
After all, the opponent's mistakes were very obvious.
Neither of them had high hopes.
Obviously, the private contact between Phoenix Entertainment executives and Xiang Zhenghui is not something they, the low-level artists and managers, can know about.
They just suddenly received news from the Spring Festival Gala program team, asking them to prepare for the second round of program selection.
"It seems we have to stay in the capital for the time being."
Even though he said this, the agent still seemed very happy.
After all, this is the Spring Festival Gala, a stage where many artists can become famous overnight.
“I don’t know if Xu Ji and Sister Tongtong have gotten along yet?”
"Will I be able to rehearse with the two of them then?"
Pei Yi suddenly thought of this and was extremely excited.
The manager is also a little helpless about the fact that his artists are fans of Xu Ji and Sha Yetong.
I can only ask:
"If nothing else happens, their program should be finalized."
"When the time comes, please be patient. You know what the relationship between our Phoenix Entertainment and Xu Ji is like."
"Don't get too close to the two of them. It will be bad if you are misunderstood by the company."
Pei Yi said yes, but in fact it didn't look like he listened to what he said.
The agent didn't say any more.
After all, a company as big as Phoenix Entertainment has a large number of artists. In fact, even if Pei Yi is the company's key training target now, it is still unclear what will happen in the future.
It’s no secret that Phoenix Entertainment has left so many veteran artists and employees in the past few months.
In comparison, the agent actually hopes that Pei Yi can have a good relationship with Xu Ji.
Maybe in that case there will be a chance to enter Tongji Entertainment.
There has always been a saying in the entertainment industry that changing jobs from the Big Three is indeed a relatively stupid decision, even if the conditions for opening a small company are better than those of the Big Three.
But the resources of the three majors are irreplaceable.
Of course, in the past year, there have been some changes in this statement.
It is a stupid decision to switch jobs from the three major companies, but if you switch to Tongji Entertainment, you will be lucky.
......
At the same time, Xu Ji also received the news that his and Sha Yetong's program had failed to pass the Spring Festival Gala primaries.
I have to say that this really surprised Xu Ji.
After all, this song "When Love Is a Past" can definitely be regarded as a classic duet song between men and women.
Although some of the themes are not very suitable.
But whether it was in the previous life or this world, the Spring Festival Gala did not say that it only required songs with family-friendly themes.
In comparison, it is obviously the quality of the song that is the key.
In addition, "Because of Love" was able to appear in the Spring Festival Gala before, Xu Ji also felt that there should be no problem with this song.
However, Xu Ji didn’t think much about it at this time.
He actually didn't know the director of this Spring Festival Gala, Xiang Zhenghui, at all. He had never even heard his name before.
Even if it's a party, each director's style will be different.
Program preferences are also based on personal taste.
So although he is a little surprised, it does not mean that Xu Ji cannot accept this result.
Of course, Sha Yetong on the side was indeed a little disappointed.
After all, I had been looking forward to having the opportunity to attend the Spring Festival Gala with Xu Ji and the two of them singing on the same stage.
"It doesn't matter. In fact, there are quite a few Spring Festival Galas held by local stations."
"I'd rather ask Sister Man."
"It's not like I have no chance to sing."
Xu Ji took the initiative to comfort him.
There is still a big gap between the local station’s Spring Festival Gala and the official Spring Festival Gala.
However, although it was a bit regretful, it didn't matter to Sha Yetong when he thought that he could be on stage with Xu Ji.
Moreover, the Spring Festival Gala of local stations are all aired in advance or recorded.
In other words, the two of them still have the opportunity to go home together to celebrate the New Year or something.
Of course, local stations definitely don’t have as many requirements and regulations as the Spring Festival Gala.
With the popularity of Xu Ji and Sha Yetong, as long as they show some willingness, you can basically choose at will for the Spring Festival Gala of the three major local channels.
......
On the day Xu Ji and Sha Yetong returned to Chengdu, Youman received a call from the Spring Festival Gala official.
"Are you kidding me?"
"Sorry, we won't consider it."
Youman hung up the phone angrily.
Xu Ji didn't realize anything at this time.
He was called by Youman this time because of the road show of "Infernal Affairs" which was about to be released.
As a result, Youman received this call midway.
"What's wrong, Sister Man?"
Xu Ji asked with some confusion.
In fact, many times, Youman basically doesn't have such big mood swings.
It is rare to see Xu Ji when he is so angry.
The key is that Tongji Entertainment nowadays is actually not the one who asks for help more often than not. Most of the time, Youman keeps rejecting cooperation invitations from outside.
"It's the program group of the Spring Festival Gala."
"This director, Xiang Zhenghui, deliberately eliminated you and Tongtong."
Xu Ji was stunned for a moment after hearing Youman's words.
He had never thought about this before. After all, he and Xiang Zhenghui didn't know each other, and they had little interaction, let alone any grudges.
Youman told the content of the phone call just now.
"Xiang Zhenghui asked us for the copyright of your and Tongtong's songs for this primary election."
"He said that although you didn't pass the preliminary election, the song is good and he plans to replace it with someone else."
In fact, Youman did not completely restore Xiang Zhenghui's tone just now.
It seems to be saying that although Xu Ji himself cannot appear on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala, it is still a great honor for the song to be on the Spring Festival Gala. You should thank me.
Hearing Youman's words, Xu Ji understood everything immediately, and his face darkened.
In fact, although Xu Ji was a little surprised when he learned about the news that he failed to pass the primary election, he didn't think much about it and didn't feel much about it.
In his opinion, the Spring Festival Gala is nothing special. It doesn’t mean that he has to go to the Spring Festival Gala to show his face or anything.
If it was the director's deliberate targeting, although Xu Ji felt uncomfortable, he actually didn't care too much about it.
Tongji Entertainment and he have been targeted more times.
But it happened that the program was deleted as soon as it was deleted, and Xiang Zhenghui even made a special phone call to disgust them, which was really too much.
No matter what song is good, I hope that I can selflessly let it be sung by other singers.
Isn't this clearly telling Xu Ji and the others that he is deliberately targeting them?
Xu Ji thinks that he has always had a relatively good temper.
But this does not mean that he is the kind of character who can swallow his anger.
If that were really the case, there would not have been conflicts with those art film directors and rap circles before.
"I'm going to make a phone call."
Xu Ji said silently, then stood up and walked out of Youman's office.
Youman couldn't help but pray for Xiang Zhenghui at this time. From the looks of it, Xu Ji didn't intend to expose this matter.
Youman has already experienced Xu Ji's way of doing things.
Others are obviously worried about face and so on, but Xu Ji will really end up personally.
Wait!
Youman suddenly remembered something, quickly stood up and shouted towards the door:
"Don't be impulsive yet!"
She was afraid that Xu Ji would directly post on Weibo before she could react.
After all, Xiang Zhenghui still represents the Spring Festival Gala program team.
......
That night, an entry suddenly appeared on the hot search list on Weibo.
"Xu Ji and Sha Yetong's program failed to pass the Spring Festival Gala preliminary round."
This news came from an anonymous whistleblower who claimed to be from the entertainment industry. He really couldn't stand it, so he came forward to speak out.
This person said that he personally listened to all the programs that participated in the primaries that day. Xu Ji’s new songs and the two’s perfect live performances were obviously the best singing programs that day.
But even for such a program, it didn't even pass the preliminary round. However, some singers who had obvious performance mistakes successfully passed the Spring Festival Gala preliminary round.
He suspected that there was something shady about the Spring Festival Gala program.
The identity of the whistleblower needs to be verified, but not many people are going to delve into this at this time.
This news immediately caused a stir and attracted the attention of a large number of netizens.
Of course, most people don’t actually believe this news at this time.
After all, Xu Ji and Sha Yetong were kicked out of the Spring Festival Gala primaries, which does sound a bit unreliable.
"What the hell? Will Xu Ji and Sha Yetong be eliminated?"
"What kind of insiders are breaking the news? Whoever believes it will be stupid!"
"You start with a picture, and the whole process depends on editing? But why don't you come up with a picture and talk about it?"
......
Just when the discussion among netizens was getting heated, they suddenly discovered that the official account of Tongji Entertainment posted a Weibo.
And the content is extremely explosive.
"Tongji Entertainment hereby declares that our artists will always refuse to participate in future programs and performances that Director Zhenghui and his company team will be responsible for."
"PS: It's okay to be eliminated from the program, but isn't the idea of us giving up our songs to other people a little disgusting?"
......
In fact, the official account of Tongji Entertainment is not updated very frequently.
But most of the time, the company is releasing new dramas, or promoting performances by its artists.
It’s true that there aren’t many statements like this.
As soon as this tweet came out, the Internet exploded.
Weite has crashed several times in a short period of time.
No matter how many times people eat melons, no one expected that the so-called revelation turned out to be true.
Moreover, this statement from Tongji Entertainment also revealed some more exciting information.
That is, the director of this Spring Festival Gala, Xiang Zhenghui, not only did not let Xu Ji and Sha Yetong's program pass, he also called Xu Ji to ask for songs and planned to replace them on the Spring Festival Gala stage.
No wonder Xu Ji was so angry.
Who can tolerate this?
......
At this time, Xiang Zhenghui, who was still busy with various things for the Spring Festival Gala, suddenly heard the voice of his assistant director.
"Guide, something bad happened!"
"Go and see Weite."
Xiang Zhenghui had a puzzled expression on his face, obviously not knowing what was going on.
