Chapter 410: The Big Three are just the past tense, Tongji is the future
After receiving the recording invitation from Mo Jianwen, Xu Ji readily agreed.
Although this period of time is actually quite busy.
But it doesn’t mean that I can’t even spare time to record one episode of the program.
At present, it is confirmed that "Detective" will be released on the National Day schedule.
The relevant review has also been passed.
In fact, some of the plots of this movie are a bit difficult to pass censorship.
Previously, Pang Er was also most worried about this.
It's just that he forgot that Xu Ji's "Operation Red Sea" had just received more than 3 billion in box office from the official side.
Although there is no clear notice, as long as Duan Shengyu is still in charge of the TVB, the standards of Tongji Entertainment will definitely be relaxed appropriately.
To use Duan Shengyu’s words, the review should not be so strict.
We should encourage more diverse movie types to appear on the market.
Of course, if the producer is not Tongji Entertainment, that would be a different story.
......
While Xu Ji received the invitation to record, other singers from the Commission for Discipline Inspection also received invitations.
The same goes for Wu Xiaomin. As one of the last five remaining players, Wu Xiaomin has basically given up on the idea of winning the championship.
When people are young, they are always arrogant and feel that they are the chosen one and are not convinced by anyone.
But after being hit by reality, I can only slowly begin to accept the fact that I am just an ordinary person.
This is the most realistic portrayal of Wu Xiaomin.
He debuted in the talent show with an absolutely overwhelming number of votes in C position.
As soon as he debuted, he immediately entered the ranks of first-line singers.
After that, he wrote a hit single, and was praised by fans as a unique genius.
Of course, Wu Xiaomin also began to feel elated because of this.
After all, in the talent show, compared with other contestants, most of whom were tone-deaf.
It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a dimensionality reduction blow.
Once a few original new songs were released, others had no qualifications to compare with him.
Unstoppable success and debuted in C position.
So even when I participated in "The Masked Singer" later, I didn't pay attention to the Faceless Man or Xu Ji at all.
As a result, he was beaten down by other people on the show from beginning to end.
It doesn’t matter if she can’t compete with her singing skills, Wu Xiaomin knows that her singing skills are not even good.
But compared to composing and writing songs, I am no match at all.
Whether it is free play or related topics are prescribed.
Although I don't want to admit it in my heart, the quality of other people's new songs on the show is higher than his.
It was only later that Wu Xiaomin began to recognize the reality.
......
Now, Wu Xiaomin actually no longer struggles.
Among the remaining five contestants, it seems that he is indeed the most likely to be eliminated.
Needless to say, Yu Feifei is indeed a difficult opponent to defeat with Xu Ji’s help.
The same goes for the Faceless Man. He feels that he is no weaker than Xu Ji in songwriting. Although he doesn’t know who his true identity is, he is definitely better than him.
The remaining two, the Redeemer, are also contestants who have stood firm from the first episode to the present. Although they are not as good as Xu Ji and the Faceless Man, their performance is very stable, and it seems that they are not something he can defeat.
The last one is the replacement singer from the previous issue, singer Zeng Yinfei. The other singer already has a huge advantage just by relying on his singing skills.
The most important thing is that since the end of the last episode, Wu Xiaomin, who was somewhat shocked, still has no creative inspiration.
He feels that his highlight moment was the talent show where he debuted.
On the show, even new songs written in one day can be of good quality.
In the end, although there was some luck involved, I managed to get out of the circle and become popular.
The current Wu Xiaomin simply cannot do this.
He tried to write a few songs to participate in the next competition, but in the end they were all unsatisfactory, and he would definitely lose if they were put into the competition.
"Xiao Min, let's take a rest."
"Actually, you don't need to be so nervous. Isn't it just a variety show?"
"If you lose, you lose. Anyway, the popularity has been earned."
The agent tried to comfort him.
But obviously it has no obvious effect.
Wu Xiaomin still looked decadent.
"Do you think I really have the talent to write songs?"
Upon hearing Wu Xiaomin's question, the agent answered without hesitation:
"Of course!"
"If you don't have talent, who can?"
"Actually, those Xu Ji and the Faceless Man were just lucky before, but you will definitely win them back later."
......
If it had been before, Wu Xiaomin would not have felt any problem after hearing such words.
But now, he fully knows that the other party's words were just subconscious.
I guess even the agent himself wouldn’t believe it.
He even felt a little regretful.
At the beginning, all three major entertainment companies had invited him.
But because my current company seemed more sincere and offered a high signing fee, I agreed.
Although the company does indeed attach great importance to him, even the company boss is polite when talking to him.
But at this time, Wu Xiaomin knew clearly that it was actually because the company had become smaller.
Now, he is the largest source of income for the entire company, so he has such a status.
Although the original signing fee was high, in fact, the resources of this small company in all aspects are extremely poor.
It didn’t help him much at all.
The most important thing is that some of the people there are not professional at all.
No one can provide some practical help and opinions when writing new songs.
Everyone in the company, whether it’s the agent or the boss.
It seems that everyone only praises him, and basically never hears anything else.
Although it does feel quite good to be praised every day, Wu Xiaomin has been deeply involved in it before.
I have been brainwashed by the company, thinking that I am the most talented songwriter.
Xu Ji and those old seniors will definitely be compared with him in the future.
Wu Xiaomin believed these words firmly at the time and never felt there was any problem.
Now, after participating in this program, he can only describe it as broken heart.
Judging from some articles he had read recently, Wu Xiaomin actually suspected that he had been given a cU by the company.
.......
At this time, the manager looked at Wu Xiaomin's absent-minded look, but he was actually not in a very good mood.
I cursed a lot of unpleasant words in my heart.
She actually doesn't care much about why Wu Xiaomin is unhappy or uncomfortable.
But this guy didn’t know what kind of stimulation he got, and he pushed a lot, even most of the performances.
As a result, not only her income has dropped.
Even the company boss has a lot of complaints.
I obviously took advantage of the opportunity to participate in "The Masked Singer", although I did get scolded.
But the popularity and popularity are always increasing.
The appearance fee has also increased a lot.
If you don’t accept a gig at this time, you will just watch a large amount of money slip away from you.
It’s strange that the company boss doesn’t feel sorry for him.
"Excuse me, can I be alone for a while?"
Wu Xiaomin said.
The agent was stunned for a moment. Although he was dissatisfied, he still had a smile on his face.
"Then Xiao Min, you have a good rest. By the way, there is a business performance next..."
.......
Wu Xiaomin here is already planning to change companies, and her overall condition is not very good.
On the other side, the singer Zeng Yinfei, who only participated in the last episode of the show, is actually under a lot of pressure.
In fact, he spent a lot of time preparing for this performance before he received the invitation to record.
Now that he has decided to participate in this show, he must still go there with the intention of winning.
But currently, the difficulty of winning the championship is indeed too high.
Mainly because, although the name of the show is "The Masked Singer", the most important thing about the show currently is the song selection.
Among the remaining contestants, apart from him, the other four obviously want to sing new songs.
When the quality of the song is not low, if he chooses to cover it, he will lose at the starting line.
The most important thing is that among the five contestants currently on the show, he is the only one who is a top-tier singer.
Although Jiang Nian also participated in this show, he chose to leave by himself, thus saving some face.
In fact, Jiang Nian probably won’t be eliminated in that program.
So there wasn’t much criticism.
But if you reveal your face because you can’t compete, you will probably be scolded.
"Have you contacted Teacher Tao?"
"It's been such a long time."
"I should give you an answer."
Zeng Yinfei said to his assistant.
For this show, he specially invited Tao Xianxia, a great songwriter and songwriter, to sing songs.
After much hard work, the other party finally agreed.
But now it's about to start recording, but I still haven't received the song.
This made Zeng Yinfei feel a little nervous.
After all, if he fails to get this original new song in the end, he may really be eliminated from this competition.
But even among the great songwriters and songwriters, based on his understanding, not everyone is Xu Ji and the Faceless Man.
The quality of the songs written will also fluctuate.
So if the quality of this song is really high, there is hope that it can become a hit or a classic.
He definitely won't use it in the second round of the knockout round.
Leaving it until later is actually the best option.
In this issue, except for Yu Feifei, who has Xu Ji to help write songs, and the faceless man, these two are not easy to win.
In fact, the Redeemer and Wu Xiaomin and Zeng Yinfei are still confident.
But after not getting the song from the other person for a day, he kept feeling uneasy.
"Teacher Tao Xianxia said..."
Seeing his assistant hesitating, Zeng Yinfei couldn't help but frown.
"Just say whatever you have to say."
After hearing this, the assistant said:
"She said she could give us the song, but she couldn't use it to participate in the show "The Masked Singer."
Zeng Yinfei was stunned for a moment.
He never thought before that the other party would make such a request.
But the original purpose of his invitation was to use it to participate in the show.
"Why?"
The assistant replied: "I don't know either."
"But I think it's probably because Teacher Tao doesn't want his songs to be compared with Xu Ji and the Faceless Man."
"After all, she is considered a veteran songwriter. If she loses..."
"My face is a little confused."
Zeng Yinfei understood after hearing this, and his expression was a little helpless.
Tao Xianxia's current ranking among top tier songwriters is not as high as Xu Ji's, so how could she feel embarrassed that she lost to Xu Ji?
Although Xu Ji is currently ranked tenth on the list of top-tier songwriters.
But in fact, for many people, there is no great suspense about reaching the top spot among China’s top tier songwriters in the future.
After all, Xu Ji is currently the youngest among all the top-tier songwriters.
Although many songwriters are still writing songs, in fact, as they get older, they can only write a few songs a year.
But Xu Ji is different. It is estimated that he will still be active in the music scene for at least thirty years in the future.
Moreover, from his debut to now, his songwriting output is indeed far higher than that of many other songwriters.
And the quality of the songs has not declined, which is the most exaggerated thing.
"Forget it, since Teacher Tao is unwilling, we can't force it."
Zeng Yinfei said helplessly.
He thought about it, but still didn't want to lose.
But when I contacted Tao Xianxia just now, I was relieved of her concerns.
It is estimated that it is only a matter of time before the future Faceless Man and Yu Feifei, with the help of Tongji Entertainment, become the king and queen of singers.
Under such circumstances, it is not a shame to think about losing to them.
And more importantly, he has been vaguely aware of the changes in the entertainment industry this year.
In the past, when it came to getting close to Tongji Entertainment, everyone discussed and acted quietly in private.
After all, Phoenix Entertainment had banned Tongji at that time, and the feud between the two families was well known to everyone.
Therefore, compared with making friends with Tongji Entertainment, and thus offending the Big Three or something, many people think it is not cost-effective.
But now, with the development and growth of Tongji Entertainment in recent years.
Especially with the success of the two movies in the American market, many people have begun to realize that Tongji Entertainment is increasingly becoming the fourth largest entertainment company.
This also caused many people to silently stand up in line.
Obviously, more and more people have appeared now, and they are more optimistic about the future development of Tongji Entertainment.
Zeng Yinfei was also a little hesitant. Although he was the king of singers, he was not from one of the top three majors, nor did he have a background in one of the top three.
The company he works for is not small in scale. He actually owns a small share of the company, has a lot of say, and also has a high degree of freedom.
Such a company does have its own way of survival.
But when you encounter certain situations, you must be biased, and it is impossible to guarantee absolute neutrality all the time.
This is quite a stupid approach.
As for Zeng Yinfei's company, from its establishment to the present, it is actually Phoenix Entertainment that has cooperated the most.
Although they are not entirely from the Phoenix Entertainment faction, they are definitely on the same side. If Phoenix Entertainment conflicts with other companies, they will generally choose whether to help or not depending on the situation.
But it is unlikely that he will stand on the opposite side of Phoenix Entertainment.
When Tongji Entertainment was banned, the company actually helped secretly.
Now the company's senior management is beginning to consider whether to take the initiative to show goodwill to Tongji.
After all, many colleagues are now spreading the news that the current trend in the entertainment industry has changed.
The Big Three are just the past tense, but Tongji Entertainment is the future.
