313: Fang Wushui's Inner Demon
"Oh my god, this episode of Sisters Riding the Wind and Waves made me so angry that I almost had a heart attack!"
"Alas, Mei Manlu sang so well, but she was the third from the bottom."
"Did those people vote with their feet?"
"It's not enough to just sing well, you have to be able to grab the spotlight and stir up the heat. Mei Manlu has a gentle personality and speaks little, and her presence in each episode is too low."
"She's quite popular, right? She's signed a contract with Huafeng."
"The problem is that this is a recorded broadcast. When this episode was recorded, she probably hadn't signed a contract or was in the process of signing a contract."
...
Netizens were discussing the elimination list in the fourth episode of Sisters Riding the Wind and Waves, which aired last night, early in the morning, and the reaction was intense.
In the first round of performances, the female stars performed very well. Although most of them were actors, they all had a foundation in singing and dancing. With the guidance of professional vocal and dance teachers, they were more than one level better than the first evaluation performances with all microphones on.
If no one is eliminated, everything can be treated as leisure and entertainment. However, when seeing that Mei Manlu is one of the three female stars to leave, many viewers shouted "unfair"!
Those with low popularity rankings but strong abilities were eliminated, while those with high popularity but poor performance, no memorable points, and not very good singing and dancing were not eliminated.
The topic of this kind of variety show is reflected in the elimination list, group list and group list.
Just as netizens were typing on the keyboard to defend Mei Manlu, some people began to notice the Weibo post posted by Huafeng Media.
"What does 'I have songs, do you have stories' mean? Are they going to release new songs?"
"It's almost certain, but I don't know who will release it."
"It's open. Choose one from Xu Chenyi, Guan Yansi, Qin Shiyue, Lin Yu, Gu Yao, and Gong Li!"
"You missed one, and there's also Mei Manlu."
"It's not even been a month since you joined Huafeng. Isn't it a little too fast?"
"No matter who sings it, as long as it's written by Jiang Ge, I'll be looking forward to it."
...
Everyone was guessing which artist from Huafeng Media was going to release a new song. The popularity quickly increased and soon it topped the hot search list.
November is not a slow season for releasing songs, because it's the end of the year, entertainment companies have to rush for performance, and singers have to make money, so they all want to make their wallets fatter and go home for a good New Year.
Penguin Entertainment, Alibaba Entertainment, Sina Entertainment, Yiliu Entertainment, and Xingchen Culture, all of these first-tier entertainment companies, have singers releasing new songs.
Among them, Huang Qili, the "Iron Lung Queen" of Penguin Entertainment, and Zhang Jing, the "Prince of Love Songs" of Sina Entertainment, are the most famous. Although they have never won the Golden Melody Awards, they are both frequent nominees for the Golden Melody Awards' Best Male and Female Singers.
Moreover, Huang Qili's songs were written by the gold medal lyricist Fang Wushui, and Zhang Jing's songs were written by the Golden Melody Awards' best lyricist couple Xiao Yu and Zhang Huiwen, which shows the quality of the songs.
It is obvious that they are all striving for the Golden Melody Awards next year.
At this time, in a villa somewhere in Pengcheng.
"Teacher Fang, it's bad, Huafeng's official Weibo just posted a Weibo!"
The assistant hurried into the study, with an anxious look on his face.
Fang Wushui frowned when he heard this, and felt a bad feeling in his heart.
He put down the book in his hand slightly, looked at the assistant, and said, "What did the Weibo post say?"
The assistant quickly replied, "'I have a song, do you have a story?' It seems to be a preview of a new song."
Fang Wushui gritted his teeth and asked again, "Who sang it?"
The assistant shook his head and said, "It didn't say that."
"Huh..." Fang Wushui took a deep breath to calm his fluctuating mood, and then said lightly, "Okay, I know, you can go out."
The assistant nodded and said, "Okay."
Fang Wushui's heart, which had just calmed down, became agitated again.
Why is it him again?
Isn't he filming?
Didn't the teacher teach him that he can't do two things at the same time?
Didn't Jiang Ge teach him that he can't do two things at the same time?
Jiang Ge is like Fang Wushui's inner demon, making him work hard to improve, but also making him feel uncomfortable and suffocated.
I have deliberately chosen to release the song at the end of the year, why is it here again, it's not over yet.
Okay, okay, since I can't get rid of you, then do it, I'm not afraid of you!
"Teacher Fang..."
Suddenly, the assistant's voice sounded again.
Seeing him return, Fang Wushui asked with a sullen face: "What's wrong?"
The assistant explained: "Just a few seconds ago, Mei Manlu posted a Weibo. I think she is the one who released the new song for Huafeng."
Fang Wushui's mouth curled up, and his depressed mood just now was swept away.
As long as it is not the popular king Xu Chenyi, the new king Qin Shiyue, and the new Golden Melody Award singer Lin Yu, the influence of others in the Chinese music scene is average.
As for Mei Manlu, her voice and singing skills are good, but under Huang Qili's "high pitch", her competitiveness is not so great.
The assistant scratched the back of his head. When Fang Wushui came in to report the situation for the first time, he frowned and looked worried, but this time when he came in to report the situation, Fang Wushui's face changed instantly, and his happiness was beyond words.
How could he change so much in just a short moment?
He knew that Fang Wushui had fought with Jiang Ge three times before, and lost all three times. If they met again, it would be the fourth time.
Who will win?
Although he was an employee of Penguin Entertainment and Fang Wushui's assistant, Jiang Ge's songs, movies, and TV series were all invincible, and anyone could not handle him. He looked at Fang Wushui with some concern, and wanted to suggest that he avoid the edge, but in the end he did not dare to say it.
As Fang Wushui thought about it, his unwillingness to admit defeat surged up, and he said, "Call the company and ask them to keep an eye on Huafeng's every move. When Mei Manlu's new song is released, Huang Qili's new song will be released!"
When the assistant heard this, he was shocked.
What is this for?
Are they going to confront Jiang Ge head-on?
Forgot the pain after the wound healed?
He had to persuade him, and said tactfully, "Teacher Fang, as the saying goes, 'Know yourself and the enemy, and you will never be in danger in a hundred battles.' Why don't you wait for Mei Manlu's new song to be released and listen to it before making a decision?"
Fang Wushui got angry, snorted, and said, "Do you also think my song is not as good as Jiang Ge's?"
The assistant waved his hands repeatedly and said, "No, that's not what I mean."
Fang Wushui was very unhappy and said impatiently, "Just do what I tell you to do, don't talk so much nonsense."
The assistant smiled and apologized, "Yes, yes."
After that, he turned around and walked out, with a speechless expression on his face.
Fang Wushui picked up the book and flipped through a few pages, but he couldn't suppress his irritability.
If he fails to defeat Django once, it will be like this in the future.
Thinking of this, his determination to fight head-on became stronger.
Not long after, just after twelve o'clock, the assistant came running over again and said, "Teacher Fang, Mei Manlu's new song is available on NetEase Cloud Music, and Zhang Jing's new song is available on QQ Music."
Fang Wushui narrowed his eyes, raised his hands and patted the desk, laughing, "Hahaha, this is interesting!"
