Chapter 412 Breakout Match Begins
Ye Zhiqiu’s interviews never disappoint!
Due to Ye Zhiqiu's habit of "being adamant when he disagrees", almost every interview can always make some news, and many fans have given him the title of "Reality in the World".
This time, Ye Zhiqiu did not disappoint the reporters.
The phrase "Hua Liu is the coolest" quickly attracted the attention of the entire music industry.
Many fans expressed that they were offended by this sentence.
"How handsome! This sentence is so inspiring!"
"Hahaha, it's so arrogant, but I like it."
"That's right, Hua Liu is the coolest!"
"This is confidence!"
"To be fair, the commercial value of the B-list is indeed the highest in the world's music scene. I used to like to go to the B-list to scan the charts, but since the emergence of Ye Zhiqiu's Chinese style, I feel that our own style of music is so good for the first time."
Ye Zhiqiu's words can be described as mixed emotions in the ears of people in the industry. While lamenting the young man's vitality, he also has to admire his strong self-confidence and courage to speak out.
However, Ye Zhiqiu's "arbitrary" words were agreed and encouraged by some people, viewed objectively, and ridiculed by many.
Many "rational people" have come out and said that it is a good thing to have confidence, but blind confidence is not advisable. Only by facing the gap squarely can we learn from each other's strengths to catch up.
In addition, Ye Zhiqiu's "In the elegant hall, whoever wants to get in will get in" also angered many traditional literary writers who have not yet stopped, and made another lengthy satirical criticism.
An interview provoked two waves of people to break their guard, and Ye Zhiqiu, who was "outrageous", was once again pushed to the forefront.
...
Time flew by quickly, and it was the day of the "Singer" breakout competition.
Due to the heated discussion caused by Ye Zhiqiu, many fewer fans are paying attention to "Singer".
The more critical reason is that compared with the previous rounds, the breakout round is a bit "dark" without Ye Zhiqiu, Zhang Yifan, Xiao Jie and others.
Backstage, chief director Liao Tao sighed repeatedly as he looked at the ratings, which were close to being cut in half.
However, despite this, there were still many viewers watching the live broadcast, and the barrage was extremely lively.
"New Phoenix Legend fans come to report!"
"I want to see if Ye Zhiqiu's boast is true."
"My mother has become a loyal fan of Phoenix Legend. She performs square dances every day and plays their songs."
"Stop talking, I live on the third floor, and the dances in the square downstairs every night are just a few songs, and I'm bored to death."
"It's even worse for me. I studied at night during my senior year of high school. They sang "Free Flying" and "Above the Moon" all the way along the river. It doesn't matter if they sing well...the key is that they don't have the ability to know!"
A total of six singers participated in the breakout competition. In addition to Phoenix Legend, there were also Huang Lingyu, Li Kun, He Fan and two other fill-in singers.
These two replacement singers are basically unknown singers. Anyone with a discerning eye knows that these two people have little hope of promotion. They came to the "Singer" program to "coat gold".
Backstage, when Zhuang Yi and Linghua walked into the public rest area, they immediately attracted everyone's attention.
This pair of contestants who were the first to be eliminated in "Singer" have become the recognized "seeded contestants" of this competition.
He Fan looked embarrassed, but Li Kun and Huang Lingyu were calm and took the initiative to chat with Phoenix Legend.
Li Kun asked curiously: "That boy Zhiqiu is so awesome, what kind of song are you singing?"
Huang Lingyu also smiled and said: "I like your new song "Moonlight over the Lotus Pond" very much. Why don't you sing such a good song in this competition?"
"I know." Before Zhuang Yi and Linghua could answer, Li Kun said with a smile: "Zhuang Yi must have protested because there are too few lyrics."
"Brother, have you offended Zhiqiu? You don't have a few words in a song."
Zhuang Yi smiled awkwardly and waved his hands repeatedly.
"Don't say it." Linghua said with a smile: "He is the main force tonight, and he has many more words than me."
"Oh?" As soon as Linghua said this, everyone immediately became interested.
Without waiting for any further questions, Liao Tao walked in and the drawing of lots began.
Phoenix Legend's luck is good or bad. There are six players, and the third one just happens to appear.
...
At this time, I went to an office somewhere in Beijing.
Yang Chuqiang sat at the top, rolling a cigar slowly and carefully with meticulous movements. The person gently squeezing his shoulders from behind was the fourth-tier star from last time.
Yang Chuqiang is very satisfied with this little star who "looks good and can do things". After a period of training, his techniques have also made great progress.
Below, sitting are Zhang Yifan and his agent.
What is the agent reporting? Zhang Yifan, who is usually cool in the eyes of fans, dares not make mistakes in front of the financial backers and is very honest.
Yang Chuqiang held the rolled cigar in his mouth. Before he could make a move, his manager secretly stabbed Zhang Yifan. Zhang Yifan reacted and quickly stepped forward to light the cigar.
Yang Chuqiang nodded slightly, took a deep breath, and puffed out smoke. Suddenly, a faint smoke mixed with sweetness floated in the room.
"Okay." Yang Chuqiang leaned back against the huge boss chair, motioned Zhang Yifan to sit down, and relaxed: "Let's see if tonight is the "Singer" breakout competition."
The manager and Zhang Yifan were stunned. They didn't understand what Yang Chuqiang meant. No one of them was participating in tonight's breakout match. Let's see what he was doing.
Even if Phoenix Legend advances, it won't pose a threat to Zhang Yifan, right? After all, the popularity of the two is too far apart.
Even though he was confused, the manager turned on the TV.
On the screen, it was not Phoenix Legend's turn to take the stage yet. Yang Chuqiang was obviously not interested and asked casually: "There has been a lot of public opinion on the Internet about Ye Zhiqiu recently."
The agent quickly said: "Mr. Yang, what you are talking about is the criticism of him in the literary world. I have also seen this."
There was a gloating smile on the corner of the agent's mouth, "The online novels written by that guy are very popular, but for some reason, those cultural people can't stand it."
"This matter is not over yet. It is still being discussed on the Internet. It just so happens that he will be the one to suffer this without us taking action."
Yang Chuqiang was silent and said in a calm voice: "That's not what I'm talking about."
"We are in business, and those in the cultural world are none of our business."
The agent's tone was choked, and his face looked extremely embarrassed.
"I'm talking about Ye Zhiqiu's income analysis. I heard that he earned 300 million this year?"
As soon as the words "three hundred million" came out, the massage hand of the little star behind Yang Chuqiang trembled slightly.
The agent's expression changed and he said: "Yes."
"We have also checked this. It should be... true."
Yang Chuqiang remained silent, took a deep breath, and stubbed out the remaining half of the cigar.
"How long has he been out?"
The agent's tone was bitter, "Less than...a year."
Yang Chuqiang looked at Zhang Yifan, "How long have you been debuting?"
Zhang Yifan looked ugly and struggled to utter two words.
Chapter completed!
