Late at night, at the Donghai Film and Television Base, the filming scene of "Produce 101".
Last week, the instructor Chen Xiuyuan announced the elimination list for the first round, which eliminated nearly half of the contestants. Liao Meiqi, who was baptized by the three songs "The Rest of the Life", "If There Is an Afterlife", and "Remembrance" simultaneously, after this round
After elimination and screening, they will re-enter Class A from Class B.
And it jumped from the twelfth place, jumped ten consecutive places, received 94.37 million likes, and successfully advanced to the second place.
The first place is the contestant Xie Yuxun who won 110 million likes.
From the first day of the campaign, Xie Yuxun was shortlisted as the first place. After going through the first round of eliminations, he still ranked first. His strength is naturally extraordinary.
No one was surprised that Xie Yuxun won first place. What surprised the contestants was that Liao Meiqi actually won second place!
If it weren't for the fact that the voting channels of the three major video websites are completely transparent, everyone might think this is a secret operation!
Yu Xiaoxi, who was ranked third, also felt very uncomfortable. She is a contestant who has debuted overseas and has a certain foundation. In terms of basic skills such as singing and dancing, she also considers herself to be better than Liao Meiqi.
But even so, the difference between Liao Meiqi and Liao Meiqi is still nearly 20 million likes.
This gap was difficult for her to accept.
Including the first place winner, Xie Yuxun, all looked at Liao Meiqi with strange eyes.
Everyone was muttering and pointing.
In fact, even Liao Meiqi himself couldn't believe that he would be promoted to ten places in a row.
But the facts are the facts and no one can change them.
After the new 11 candidates were released, the director team gave all the players the opportunity to call their families.
Liao Meiqi took her mobile phone, walked to the corner, and looked behind her.
A photographer and election control officer followed the entire process.
She suppressed her inner excitement. After turning on her phone, she hesitated for a moment on her parents' numbers. Finally, she passed over the two of them and clicked directly on "brother"'s name.
Toot—toot—
"Hello?" Liao Yuan's voice came.
Both the photographer and the election administrator looked surprised. This did not sound like the voice of a parent.
Liao Meiqi squatted on the floor, "Hey, brother, it's me, Meiqi."
"I know."
Liao Yuan smiled and said: "How have you been lately? Are you tired?"
In the camera, when she heard Liao Yuan's voice, Liao Meiqi's eyes suddenly turned red.
She raised her head and said calmly, "I'm not tired at all. My sisters can take care of me."
There was silence on the phone for a while, then he said, "Are you really not tired?"
Liao Meiqi wiped the corners of her eyes and said, "I'm not tired!"
At this moment, the selection officer heard that Liao Meiqi was talking to his brother on the phone, and his eyes suddenly lit up. This was the original author of songs such as "The Rest of My Life"!
The reason why Liao Meiqi has received nearly 90 million likes is definitely due to this brother’s three songs!
Liao Meiqi smiled: "I'll tell you the good news. I wasn't eliminated in the first round and even got second place!"
"Very good, you didn't embarrass our old Liao family."
Liao Yuan smiled and said: "But you can't be proud of your achievements, you know?"
The phone call ended quickly, and the picker stepped forward and scolded: "Liao Meiqi, don't you have much to say to your brother? Why did you hang up so early?"
"I think so, but didn't you say I would only speak for three minutes?" Liao Meiqi said confused.
The election administrator was stunned, "Did I say that? Forget it, you don't care what time it is next time, as long as it's your brother's call, just keep talking to me! Do you understand?"
"I know." Liao Meiqi smiled.
On the other side, after Xie Yuxun called her parents, she suddenly asked the election administrator: "Can I talk to my agent?"
The election administrator hesitated for a moment, but since Xie Yuxun was the first and had a strong background, he agreed.
Soon, the agent who stayed at the film and television base appeared next to Xie Yuxun.
"Xiaoyu, what's wrong?" Manager Chu Xuanyi asked with concern.
Xie Yuxun said: "We were regrouped just now. Durian was squeezed out and is now in Class B."
Durian is an artist from the same company as Xie Yuxun. This time he teamed up with Xie Yuxun to participate in the competition. Although he is not as popular as Xie Yuxun, he still gained a large number of fans.
Chu Xuanyi nodded and said: "I know that there is a real-time like list on the Internet, and your ranking is always public."
Xie Yuxun asked: "What happened to Liao Meiqi? Why did her ranking jump so high all of a sudden?"
Chu Xuanyi said in surprise: "Don't you know?"
"How do I know? The program team has not allowed contestants to contact the outside world. You don't know?" Xie Yuhun frowned.
Chu Xuanyi came to his senses, "Indeed, oh, this thing is actually quite strange to me. Logically speaking, this Liao Meiqi is just a small company behind it. It was silent before and had no characteristics. It should be eliminated in the first round.
But after participating in the show, he suddenly performed so well, which is really incredible."
"Are they the two original songs she performed before?" Xie Yuxun thought thoughtfully.
"Two songs?"
Chu Xuanyi smiled and said: "It's not just two songs. In the special feature of the program, "Remembrance" she sang ranked first on the list of highlights. It has only been released for two or three weeks, right? The total number of clicks on the three major video networks has exceeded
It’s 10 million, do you think it’s scary or not?”
Xie Yuxun was confused: "Remembrance? I have never heard of this song. Didn't she only sing "The Rest of My Life" and "If There is an Afterlife"?"
"Then it may be that the director has created another niche."
Chu Xuanyi said: "It happens to be the right time. The time, place and people are favorable, and Liao Meiqi is indispensable. You know, the college entrance examination and the high school entrance examination have been launched recently, and the song "In Memory of" is written for these graduates
of."
"In a media survey, more than 80% of Liao Meiqi's fan base are middle school students, and many college students. Now, many graduates are reposting the song "In Memory" on Weibo. This song alone is on the official blog
The number of retweets has exceeded 100,000, and the number of comments has reached nearly 300,000. It has also set off a commemorative trend among college students. Everyone talks about their high school days in the commemorative topic on Weibo."
After hearing what the agent said, Xie Yuxun suddenly felt an unknown fire in her heart: "Bitch!"
Chu Xuanyi was startled, "Why are you scolding me?"
Xie Yuxun said coldly: "I'm not scolding you, I'm scolding that Liao Meiqi! This bitch must have been unspoken by the director. Look at her usually innocent appearance, how much she pretends to be! I didn't expect that she was doing such dirty things behind her back.
What an unbearable thing, White Lotus should be reincarnated!"
Chu Xuanyi hesitated and said: "It doesn't seem to be an unspoken rule..."
"What is that?" Xie Yuxun asked.
Chu Xuanyi said: "There are rumors outside that Liao Meiqi's brother is Liao Yuan. Although Liao Yuan has been silent, doesn't silence mean acquiescence?"
"Who is Liao Yuan?" Xie Yuxun wondered: "I have been in seclusion for less than two months, and everything has changed outside?"
"Liao Yuan is a contracted anchor of Donghai Radio Station. The original novel "Ghost Blows Out the Lamp" he broadcast is very popular nowadays. Not only was the publishing rights signed by Tang Dynasty, Fu Yuntao also spent less than 10 million to buy the film and television rights, and this
This book is still being serialized and may become even more popular after it is completed!"
"You mean... Fu Yuntao? Is this Director Fu here?" Xie Yuxun said in surprise.
This was something she didn't expect at all.
"Yes, it's Director Fu." Chu Xuanyi said: "Actually, many well-known directors have expressed interest in filming "Ghost Blowing the Lamp", but for some reason, Liao Yuan handed over the copyright to Fu Yuntao."
"If you say so..."
Xie Yuxun's eyes flashed coldly: "Everything is traceable! It turns out it's for the film copyright... ugh, this program claims to be fair and just, it's really disgusting!"
