Qin Yuqing actually couldn't understand Xu Tian's plan for Nie Jingjing and Murong Xue. According to Nie Jingjing's traffic, if a few more Internet celebrity songs are released that are in line with the current Internet popularity, coupled with her own popularity, the new album will definitely be popular.
Explosive.
The same goes for Murong Xue. If we take advantage of her innate advantages and send her to participate in more reality shows to increase her popularity, she will at least be more popular than she is now.
You must know that all popular artists in the entertainment industry want to transform, but the price required for transformation is also huge.
Qin Yuqing was surprised that Xu Tiangang dared to be so bold not long after he entered the entertainment industry.
In fact, she knew that Xu Tian did this for the future consideration of Nie Jingjing and Murong Xue, but the road to entering the mainstream music circle was long and difficult. If she voluntarily gave up her popularity now, she would probably lose both ends by then, with no traffic and no music.
Not recognized by the mainstream music circle.
Today's entertainment industry is very cruel, with newcomers emerging in large numbers every year. If Nie Jingjing and Murong Xue are not allowed to accumulate fans while they are still young and become top female singers, I am afraid they will regret it when other newcomers grow up.
Especially as a new company, they are often suppressed by other big companies. They have no resources, no connections, and even no reliable sponsors. Under such conditions, if they lose their existing traffic, what will they do with other artists in the future?
What about competition?
The variety show "National Singer-Songwriter" will be launched soon. If the effect does not meet expectations, it means that all the company's early investment has been wasted and it faces the risk of bankruptcy.
The more Qin Yuqing thought about it, the more worried she became. The job she had finally found was not going to be unemployed so soon, right?
She wanted to persuade Xu Tian to occasionally put aside his dignity and cater to the market for the sake of profit, but seeing that Xu Tian's decision was so resolute, she, as an agent assistant, had no position to interfere.
"Xiaoqing, please sort out Nie Jingjing and Xiaoxue's schedule for next week and see how many unfinished announcements we have."
Xu Tian's words brought Qin Yuqing's thoughts back to reality. She nodded quickly, left the office and ran towards her workstation.
As soon as Qin Yuqing left Xu Tian's office, Xu Tian received a call. He glanced at the caller ID, then signaled to Nie Jingjing and others, and walked out of the office alone with the phone in hand.
When he walked to the window at the end of the corridor, he answered the phone with a serious expression.
"Hello?"
"Brother Xu, I'm afraid the investment I mentioned before will have to be postponed for a while." The investor who had decided to sponsor "National Singers" said firmly, "My company has had some funding problems recently."
"Okay, I understand." Xu Tian responded lightly and hung up the phone, not dealing with the other party anymore.
This is the third investor to call to express withdrawal of capital, and Xu Tian is used to it now.
Nie Jingjing's new album has not reached the popularity expected by the outside world, and Murong Xue has not released any new works recently, so investors are not optimistic about the talent show with the two of them as team mentors.
Although Shang Yiran also participated in two recording sessions as a flying guest, this gimmick was not enough to attract investors to invest.
After all, this is a brand new talent show. Previous talent shows in the Chinese entertainment industry were contestants competing alone, but this time "National Singer-Songwriter" competes in a group-wide promotion mode, where everyone wins and loses.
.
But it is precisely because of this that there are so many contestants participating in the entire program. If there are not enough popular or controversial contestants to appear, the popularity of this program will soon drop to freezing point.
Xu Tian returned to the office with his cell phone in hand.
Nie Jingjing and others asked curiously: "Who called? Are there any new arrangements?"
"No." Xu Tian's reaction was as calm as ever, "Everything is as planned."
…
After several investors withdrew their qualifications, Xu Tian gave up the temporary search for sponsors. During this period, several popular singers successively released albums.
As for Nie Jingjing, who was supposed to be in the propaganda period, and Murong Xue, who had not had a new job for several months, they were taken by Xu Tian to teach in impoverished mountainous areas and bring warmth to the families of martyrs.
Since there was no new announcement to invite them, Xu Tian simply arranged all his subsequent trips to public places such as orphanages, nursing homes, and psychological counseling clinics, and started his charity journey.
On the day the Golden Melody Awards shortlist was announced, Nie Jingjing and Murong Xue were playing games with the children in the orphanage.
"Sister, what are you holding in your hand?" A little girl with braids looked at the mobile phone in Nie Jingjing's hand curiously.
Even though electronic products have become indispensable tools for people nowadays, children in orphanages still do not have the opportunity to come into contact with these advanced devices.
"This is something used to communicate with people." Nie Jingjing thought of an explanation that children could easily understand.
The little girl blinked in understanding: "It's a phone, right?"
"Yeah, but it has more functions than a phone."
Nie Jingjing was about to find a video on her phone to play to the little girl, but suddenly a Weibo reminder popped up on the screen and attracted her full attention.
"Sister?" The little girl tilted her head and stretched out her little hand to tug on Nie Jingjing's clothes.
"Be good, go and play with that sister."
Nie Jingjing pushed the child to Murong Xue next to her, then opened the push message with slightly trembling fingers.
Five seconds later, a high-pitched scream suddenly erupted in the activity room of the orphanage.
"Ahhhh! Mr. Xu, look, I'm shortlisted for the Golden Melody Award for Best Female Singer! Mr. Xu, have you seen it! I'm shortlisted! I'm shortlisted!"
Xu Tian has already seen the list published on Weibo, and compared to Nie Jingjing, his reaction was much calmer.
"Don't get excited, it's just a shortlist, and you still have four competitors."
Xu Tian expected this nomination. After all, although this album is different from Nie Jingjing's previous music style, he personally controlled the entire album and also invited talented producers in the industry.
Both the quality and professionalism are in line with the consistent selection style of the Golden Melody Awards.
However, although being shortlisted is already a big step towards success, Xu Tian cannot guarantee whether Nie Jingjing can win the title of Queen of Songs in the end.
"Jingjing, that's great, congratulations."
She saw all Nie Jingjing's efforts, and Murong Xue was truly happy for Nie Jingjing.
"Xiaoxue, you are also nominated." Xu Tian smiled lightly and looked at Murong Xue, who was still happy for others, "You are nominated for the Best Actress in the Musical Department."
"What?" Murong Xue gasped in disbelief, "Brother Xu, am I really a finalist?"
