Chapter 97 Can’t Tell

On Saturday, the third episode of "Original New Generation" was broadcast, with 35 to 15. The interesting topic, fierce competition, and the good quality of the first episode attracted a large number of viewers.

However, after the broadcast of this episode, the response on the Internet was relatively average and controversial.

"A bit disappointed, it feels like the contestants can't let go. Aren't rappers the best at swearing at everything? I want to hear them slam the entertainment industry."

"Who gave you the impression that rappers like to swear? Don't talk nonsense!"

"Indeed, except for Xu Rui's "Guide for Young Birds", the other songs have no highlights."

"Xu Rui is really brave to write. Some people are already interpreting the lyrics online, but I can't appreciate the dark style of songs."

"I think it's nice, super nice."

"It's not nice!"

"It's just nice!"

"Is Rao Qiufeng's "Stars" not nice?"

"Yeah, my brother's song is so inspiring. The entertainment industry is like the night sky, and they are the stars in the sky, which makes people yearn for it and can bring people a good mood."

"It's like the night sky, a lot of black!"

"Get lost, black fans."

"Brother Mengyu's song is the best. After two rounds, I say that his strength is in the top 3 among all the contestants. No one objects, right?"

"Who Mengyu? Top 3? Have some shame, he's not as good as the internet celebrity Tao Jun, not to mention Xu Rui."

"Xu Rui, stop being funny. Isn't "The Rest of Your Life" just an ordinary folk song? Without the bonus of "Falling in Love at First Sight", how can it be popular? And "Nobody" is just a catchy song. This issue of "Young Bird Guide" is even more unpleasant. It is hyped up. A few days ago, he wanted to establish a passionate young man's image. "

"What do you mean by establishing a persona? Isn't it the truth? Why don't you see your brother doing good things? "

"It's so funny. Where was Xu Rui when He Mengyu donated 100,000 yuan to the disaster area? Doing charity Where was Xu Rui during the promotion? He who got promoted by CP comes here to make trouble, isn't it disgusting! "

In the program group, Zheng Hongyang came to Ma Zhiru with a dozen beers. Seeing him swiping his phone, he asked, "What are you looking at?"

Ma Zhiru put down his phone and stretched out his hand: "Look at the public opinion."

Zheng Hongyang threw a can of beer over, dragged a chair and sat down: "I heard that the playback data is not bad, but judging from your expression, the public opinion is not good?"

"A group of demons are dancing wildly." Ma Zhiru pulled the pull ring with a "click" and poured a sip of beer into his mouth.

Four words were enough to make Zheng Hongyang understand the current situation: "Fans are quarreling again?"

Ma Zhiru said, "Yes, they are quarreling! The playback data is good compared with the music variety shows of the same period, but it is still a bit far from the real hits. The playback volume is supported by the fans of the mentors and contestants. With more eliminations later, it is hard to say whether it can be stabilized, let alone growth."

Zheng Hongyang teased, "Why, you really want to make a phenomenal variety show? Yes, this time the platform is a big deal and a lot of money has been spent. Do you feel a lot of pressure?"

Ma Zhiru glanced at him, "Stop talking nonsense."

Zheng Hongyang smiled, took a sip of wine, and said slowly, "If you want to make a phenomenal music variety show, in addition to the competition system and the stars to attract attention, the most important thing is to have phenomenal contestants and works , it's a rare opportunity."

Ma Zhiru retorted angrily: "Nonsense, don't I know, who do you think can give me a breakthrough work among the remaining people?"

Zheng Hongyang did not hesitate: "Xu Rui."

"Do you think he is good?"

Zheng Hongyang smiled and said: "You don't think he is good? His "The Rest of Life" and "Nobody" have good playback volume, I haven't read the reviews of "Young Bird Guide". Compared with the first two songs, I guess the reputation will be slightly polarized. This style of music does not have such a wide audience, but from my professional point of view, the lyrics and arrangement of this song are very good, and Xu Rui's strength is the strongest among all the contestants."

Ma Zhiru was thoughtful. This was not the first time that Zheng Hongyang expressed his optimism about Xu Rui. He understood it as the love of talent of a senior music producer.

He himself didn't have so many ideas. He liked whoever gave more money from the investors, and whoever could make the show popular, he would prefer. This is the professional quality of being the chief director!

Seeing that he didn't comment, Zheng Hongyang said, "Of course, being strong only means you have a greater chance of becoming popular. Maybe someone else will surprise you. But whether a song becomes popular or not depends on luck. Some songs are not popular when they are released, but they become popular after a few years. By then, the show will be over and you won't get any credit."

Ma Zhiru raised his eyebrows: "Why do I feel like you are cursing me?"

"You think too much." Zheng Hongyang held out a beer can to him.

Ma Zhiru snorted, reached out and touched his hand, and they both drank at the same time.

Speaking of Xu Rui, Zheng Hongyang was also puzzled. He believed that according to the original one-week preparation period, Xu Rui must have submitted a new song long ago. Now because of the change to live broadcast, he has three weeks of creation time for this round, but he has not submitted it yet. It's a bit suspicious!

Xu Rui didn't expect that in addition to Tang Fei, Zheng Hongyang also suspected him.

He had already written the score, and he had been busy during this period, looking for materials online every day to edit videos, ready to play during the performance. Although this kind of thing can be handed over to the program team, he thinks it will be more meaningful to do it himself and present the video as part of the song to the audience.

Xu Rui was happily editing, Li Yi came in from outside and closed the door.

"What's wrong?" Xu Rui wondered.

"I just heard Rao Qiufeng complaining to the election officer." Seeing that Xu Rui seemed not to hear, Li Yi added, "I'm talking about you!"

"Me? What does it have to do with me?" Xu Rui was puzzled.

"It's a product placement, why do you have more shots than him?" Li Yi was afraid that Xu Rui would misunderstand, so he explained, "I didn't instigate, his original words were 'Is my popularity lower than Xu Rui's? Why does he always have so many shots in the C position in the advertisement?', I guarantee it's exactly the same."

Xu Rui said casually: "Maybe he's not standing high enough, I hope advertisers will ask him to shoot, not me."

Seeing him so calm, Li Yi couldn't help but complain: "You really don't know how to appreciate your blessings. I have only shot one so far, and it's the one with 15 people involved."

"Okay, my fault." Xu Rui thought about it and it was true. He should stop being so Versailles, it would hurt people.

...

On Monday, Xu Rui picked up the video and prepared to submit it in the afternoon. At noon, he went to the cafeteria with Li Yi.

Unexpectedly, just after sitting down, Rao Qiufeng and He Mengyu came to sit opposite with plates, and asked enthusiastically: "How is the new song going?"

Xu Rui is not close to them, but after being on the show for so long, even if they don't get along with each other, they are just superficial friends in front of the camera: "It's written."

"That's good, I was afraid you wouldn't have time." Rao Qiufeng looked very sincere, "By the way, I'm here to apologize to you. Many of my fans on the Internet said that you rely on hyping CP and establishing personality. Don't take it to heart. There are too many fans, and some of them are irrational. I say sorry for them."

Xu Rui was stunned, thinking of what Li Yi said the night before, and then looked at Rao Qiufeng. This guy really apologized and came to disgust him. How could he not see it? !
