The straight man in the entertainment circle

Lu Xiang and Wang Zirui waited for nearly 20 minutes. Just when they were about to go on stage, their manager suddenly ran over and said to them: "You two, please don't go on stage now. Come on after midnight."

Lu Xiang and Wang Zirui looked confused and asked, "What?"

"The chief director has spoken. Your show has been postponed. You don't have to go on stage now!" Lu Xiang's manager also seemed a little angry.

"Ah, why!" Lu Xiang asked in surprise.

"How did I know!" Lu Xiang's agent said.

Wang Zirui looked at his agent and asked: "Sister Liu, what's going on? If we don't go on, won't all the subsequent shows be moved forward?"

"Well, it's all ahead of schedule."

Wang Zirui's agent is different from Lu Xiang's agent. Lu Xiang's agent is angry, while Wang Zirui's agent is a little frustrated.

"How could this happen? We didn't make any mistakes! We rehearsed well before."

"Sister Liu, you have to speak up for us!"

Lu Xiang's agent sneered: "Speaking for you? Do you think I am Sister Xin's agent? Directors won't pay attention to our agents."

Lu Xiang's agent's tone actually contained some resentment that Lu Xiang was not a big shot.

In the entertainment industry, the agent's right to speak is directly linked to the status of the artist. Some artists who are small-name or has-been stars do often suffer from criticism.

Lu Xiang refused to give up and begged: "Then talk to our boss and let him talk."

"Boss? Come on, the boss has more troublesome things over there!"

…………

In an office in the main control room.

Hong Bo held the phone: "Director Wang, I told you that if you add a program temporarily, you must give him enough time to rehearse, otherwise the quality of the program cannot be guaranteed."

"Then can't we compress the time any more?"

On the other side of the phone is Wang Pengcheng, the director of Mango Channel.

"It's only a little over an hour. I wish there were more than 25 hours in a day. Lin Li can do it, but others have to keep up."

Wang Pengcheng was stunned and said, "It's this guy Lin Li again!?"

Hong Bo said: "It's him, there's no one else who can get in except him."

"Is it okay to go five minutes earlier? The finale is for Wen Xin. Their boss has said it."

Wang Pengcheng was still very polite to Hong Bo. His team had produced several hit programs for Mango Channel, otherwise Hong Bo would not have been given this New Year's Eve party.

"Wangtai, I have listened to Lin Li's song. It is much better than Wen Xin's song. Moreover, our ratings are not good this year, and our reputation cannot collapse anymore. Only by giving Lin Li the finale can we reflect the importance we attach to it and avoid being attacked by netizens." You are ruthless and unjust, and you don’t want netizens to scold you for being greedy, right?”

Wang Pengcheng hesitated and asked, "Is his song really good?"

"Absolutely, I have been running shows for so many years, and I still have this vision." Hong Bo vowed, "Let Lin Li have the finale and sing his songs. I can guarantee that those who criticize us on the Internet now for being ruthless and unjust will all Will shut up and even give us likes!”

"Are you exaggerating..." Wang Pengcheng was hesitant.

Hong Bo smiled and said: "It may be a bit exaggerated, but Lin Li's show must be the finale. Didn't you say that you want me to be the chief director here and I have the final say in everything?"

For Hong Bo, this party is the most important. As for who stands in the C position, who is the finale, etc., it has nothing to do with him. That is what Tianyun and the TV station care about, and Hong Bo only cares about tonight's party. It can’t end perfectly!

Wang Pengcheng has enough trust in Hong Bo. Hearing that Hong Bo is so determined, and he also hopes to have a good program to quell the anger on the Internet, for entertainment companies and artists, it is a big deal whether the show is the finale or not, but for the TV station For me, the ratings and reputation of the show are the most important.

So after a short silence, Wang Pengcheng said: "Okay, you decide this matter. I will give Tianyun some variety show resources in the future."

…………

Lin Li found Wang Tuo and told them the matter. When they heard that Lin Li had a new song, they were naturally willing to cooperate. Moreover, Wang Tuo and his group had already put Lin Li at the top of their collective list. As long as it was beneficial to Lin Li, they would They are willing to define without hesitation.

Lin Li temporarily added another program, which was a great thing for Lin Li, and it was original. There would definitely be enough topics in the future, so Wang Tuo and the others were naturally happy to agree.

So Lin Li wrote the music score to them, and Wang Tuo and the others practiced it after reading it.

After practicing it twice, Lin Li felt it was ready.

"Director Zhou, we are ready."

Zhou Chunhui just heard Lin Li sing and thought it was good. Now after listening to their rehearsal, he is even more satisfied with the song. He is full of expectations and confidence in this program. Tonight, Mango Channel's reputation has been restored by Lin Li's program.

"Wait……"

Before Zhou Chunhui could answer, Wang Tuo spoke first.

Lin Li and Zhou Chunhui looked at Wang Tuo at the same time, and Wang Tuo said: "I think I need to practice a few more times..."

Lin Li was stunned. Others didn't know the level of Wang Tuo and the others, but Lin Li knew it clearly. In the past, they could only perform the accompaniment once or twice. This time, the accompaniment of this song was not difficult at all, and the rehearsal effect just now was also very good. Well, Wang Tuo shouldn't say no.

Lin Li looked at Wang Tuo with questions in his eyes. Wang Tuo smiled and said, "Everyone feels that we need to rehearse for a while."

Then guitarist Ge Yingjun, backing singers Zhang Haiyan, Xiao Yi and others in the band all agreed: "Yeah, we still have to be at the rehearsal meeting."

Zhou Chunhui still couldn't see that these people were just making excuses. They just wanted to delay it until zero o'clock, and then either give them the finale or give them after zero o'clock.

And everyone knows that this program will be meaningless if it is placed after zero o'clock.

Therefore, Wang Tuo and others are obviously using this method to ask the program team for the finale.

Someone wants to fight for Lin Li's things that Lin Li can't fight for!

Zhou Chunhui and Lin Li had a history, but aside from their personal relationship, Zhou Chunhui felt that Lin Li's song was so touching that it was unreasonable not to give it the finale.

Zhou Chunhui thought that if he were the chief director, he would have to fight for this finale for Lin Li!

"It's okay. You continue to rehearse. I'll go talk to Director Hong and see if I can arrange the finale for you."

As soon as Zhou Chunhui finished speaking, Hong Bo called.

"Chunhui, how is the rehearsal over there?"

"It's not okay, it's great. I was just going to ask you what you think of this show?"

Hong Bo said: "I feel good too, what's wrong?"

"No, I mean, when will we show this show?"

"Oh...what do you mean?"

"I mean, the finale."

Hong Bo smiled and said: "That's the finale."

Zhou Chunhui was stunned and felt that Hong Bo was joking.

"What? Don't believe it?"

"No... I just think that the director and Tian Yun need to make some adjustments if Lin Li has the finale. You agreed too quickly..."

"Don't worry, I've adjusted these things. I'm just calling to tell you. You tell Lin Li and the others to rehearse well. It's up to him tonight!"

Only then did Zhou Chunhui realize that Hong Bo was indeed better than him at this point!

…………

It has been seven hours since 32 firefighters lost contact.

It's midnight in half an hour, and there's still no good news ahead.

Lin Li and others did not need to rehearse at all. Lin Li took out his mobile phone and continued to watch the official live broadcast.

The number of viewers of the live broadcast has now reached more than five million, and the live broadcast screen has also changed at this moment.

The live broadcast picture is no longer the previous distant shot at the foot of the mountain, but has become a picture overlooking the entire Moth Mountain from a helicopter.

Due to the loud noise of the helicopter's propellers, it was impossible to hear any sound in the live broadcast.

The fire seemed smaller than before, but Moth Mountain was already devastated.

Because the camera was on a helicopter, the footage was very unstable. Fortunately, Lin Li's eyesight was much better than the average person, and he was able to slightly see the appearance of Moth Mountain from the video.

Moth Mountain is an obvious Hengduan mountainous area. This kind of mountainous area has complex terrain, significant vertical temperature changes, and cliffs can be seen everywhere on the mountain, which brings a lot of trouble to firefighting.

The huge search light on the helicopter shone on Moth Mountain, which was a bit dazzling.

The helicopter was moving, and the forest under the search lights flashed by. In addition, the helicopter was about a hundred meters above the ground, so the situation below could not be seen at all.

The real-time comments at the bottom of the live broadcast page are scrolling rapidly.

"New Year is coming soon, and my New Year's wish is to hope that these 32 fire-fighting heroes are safe and sound!"

“We are all waiting for the first good news of the new year!”

"I can't see anything, how can I search and rescue him?"

“I didn’t even watch the New Year’s Eve party this year, I just waited.”

"New Year's Eve party? Other channels have mentioned this matter, but Mango Channel has not done anything yet. It's really embarrassing."

"The TV station is not obligated to mention this matter, forget it."

"Now this matter has become a topic of discussion among the people. If you look at the number one trending search, it is the missing fire-fighting hero. Other channels have expressed it, but Mango Channel is the least concerned about local affairs. It is obviously a group of people who have no idea. A man of conscience!”

"Just don't watch it. Anyway, Lin Li, who I like, finished singing as soon as it started."

…………

On the Mango Stage, Lu Xiang and Wang Zirui were sitting on the stage with gloomy expressions on their faces.

Performing on stage after midnight, almost no one watched, and they all felt like they were being relegated to the sidelines.

"Damn it, I'm really unlucky this year!"

The more Lu Xiang thought about it, the angrier he became and he cursed.

After signing the contract with Tianyun this year, I toured everywhere for the first two months. Later, because the first and fourth place were no longer in place, the tour was not effective and it was not continued.

Since then, Lu Xiang and Wang Zirui's work began to decrease sharply. This time, they were expecting to perform well at the New Year's Eve party and regain some popularity, but they were temporarily arranged to go after midnight.

Unfortunately, this is the death order of the chief director Hong Bo. Hong Bo's status in Mango Channel is comparable to Xu Zhe and Liang Sheng, and much higher than Lu Xiang and Wang Zirui's status in Tianyun.

Faced with Hong Bo's decision, they had nothing to do.

"I don't understand. Our program is so good, why was it moved to the back?" Wang Zirui was puzzled.

Lu Xiang was also a little confused and said, "The previous program timed out?"

"No...even if it times out, the host will speed up the process, so how can we adjust our program?"

Lu Xiang sighed and said, "Yes, why is it us?"

Lu Xiang and Wang Zirui both fell silent, thinking about this issue.

"It can't be..." Wang Zirui suddenly thought of something, "It can't be that we laughed at Lin Li and made Director Hong unhappy, right?"

After thinking about it, Wang Zirui could only think of laughing at Lin Li when Hong Bo caught him while waiting.

"No, Lin Li and Director Hong Bo don't know each other, how could he adjust our program for Lin Li!" Lu Xiang shook his head.

Wang Zirui still vaguely felt that it was related to Lin Li, and said: "I heard that the team behind Lin Li is very powerful..."

Lu Xiang sneered and said, "That's awesome! I've already found out clearly that his agency is just an outsider. He has money but no resources. His manager is his mother. He is a layman at all. He is no better than our Tianyun!"

Wang Zirui was stunned and said, "How did you investigate so clearly?"

"Of course, in the entertainment industry, to make friends, you need to know his strength, which is bound by interests, and enemies have to find out the details. If Lin Li really has strong resources and backing, do you think I am stupid, go and offend him! "

Wang Zirui nodded and said, "That's right."

While the two were chatting, the Happy Unlimited team led by Xu Zhe came on stage.

After chatting with the previous singer for a few words, he read a lot of advertising lyrics.

Then, Xu Zhe said: "Okay, I have accepted this singer who is going to perform. I believe everyone has been waiting for a long time..."

"Yeah, I'm her fanboy! Her number one fan!"

Du Xiaodong, a small-eyed host next to Xu Zhe, said in an excited but insincere manner.

"Stop your fanboy eyes." Xie Jie, the host next to her, joked.

Another host Li Qi said: "This singer is known as the original singer killer!"

Wu Yashu then said: "With the next queen!"

After all the hosts finished speaking, Xu Zhe announced loudly: "Let us welcome Wen Xin!!"

The audience was obviously hesitant for a while. Many people looked at the time on their mobile phones and found that it was still 15 minutes before midnight. Everyone was very suspicious. There was only one song by Wen Xin on the program list, which lasted about five minutes.

Although the stage has to be handed over to the hosts at midnight, if Wen Xin is the finale, it would be awkward to leave ten minutes of blank time for the hosts.

Most of the stars left after performing.

However, Tianyun's artists all stayed and sat on the seats below the stage.

There is no other way, they have no other place to run, and Wen Xin is the finale, so naturally they will stay to support him.

Seeing Wen Xin come on stage at this time, more than a dozen Tianyun artists started discussing.

"Sister Xin, will you sing two songs?"

"I haven't heard of it."

"Then why is Sister Xin's performance advanced?"

"I do not know."

"Leave ten minutes for the hosts. Aren't they embarrassed on stage? They won't know what to say by then. It's very embarrassing."

"With teachers Xu Zhe and Liang Sheng here, ten minutes is no problem."

"it's wired!"

"I can't figure it out."

"We'll find out later."

…………

Wen Xin shined brightly in the first audition and was unanimously said by the three judges to be a born singer.

Later, Wen Xin went all the way, and almost every cover song she sang became a hit. She was called the original singer killer because her covers could always make people forget the original singer.

Wen Xin has been steadily rising since her debut for more than a year. She has held more than ten concerts this year, and all of them were sold out.

As soon as Wen Xin appeared on the stage, there were constant screams.

There was a trace of disappointment in Wen Xin's eyes, but it only flashed away. Once on the stage, Wen Xin would show her best self. This is her respect for the stage.

Wen Xin sang a new song called "No Possibility".

Her singing style is fresh and clean, and her timbre is also melodious and charming, especially the three consecutive key upgrades that came later and stunned the audience.

After Wen Xin finished singing, many people in the audience shouted Wen Xin's name. It can be said that Wen Xin's appearance rekindled the scene that had been silent for a long time.

After Wen Xin finished singing, the host left her to chat for a while.

"Wow, Sister Xin is so well-organized. There are still eleven minutes to go until the end of the conversation, and then the host announces New Year's Eve!"

More than a dozen Tianyun artists showed envy, looking forward to the day when they would be treated like this.

Only Lu Xiang and Wang Zirui were a little unhappy.

Their show was moved to after zero o'clock just to let Wen Xin talk more?

This hurt their self-esteem.
