Chapter 165: There is always someone worth your thousands of miles of travel

The more intense the popularity on the internet, the more the production team is roasted on the fire.

An hour later, Hong Xiao had been unable to contact Xi Sister Meng Ze, gritted his teeth, and even called Qi Guan Mingzhu.

These past few days, netizens have been taking photos of Xi Sister Meng Ze and Qi Guan Mingzhu playing outside, and they seem to be in a good mood.

These two celebrities didn't desperately take announcements during the busy summer file, but instead chose to relax, which was quite unexpected in the industry.

But if someone with a heart checks carefully, they will find that this is just their normal state.

Xi Sister Meng Ze and Jin Li are okay; they have taken many announcements this year.

Other Pink Girl members, except for Xi Sister Meng Ze who is very career-minded, take very few announcements all year round.

Hong Xiao has Qi Guan Mingzhu's contact information, but they don't chat much, and Qi Guan Mingzhu hasn't participated in Pineapple TV's variety shows much either.

After understanding his intention, Qi Guan Mingzhu looked at Xi Sister Meng Ze, who was lying on the sofa without any proper form, and said:

"Director Hong, I really want to help you with this favor, but I can't. Meng Meng has already left, and I can't bring a message to you personally. As for the phone, she should be turning it on tomorrow."

Hong Xiao's heart sank slightly. He hung up the phone. Is there only that path left to take?

Such a big program production team actually has to compromise with a singer?

Sigh.

He couldn't help but sigh in his heart. Success is also live broadcast, failure is also live broadcast!

Under live broadcast, the ranking between singers is not easy to muddle through.

On the other side, after Qi Guan Mingzhu hung up the phone, she patted Xi Sister Meng Ze's thigh, with a "pop" sound, just like swatting a mosquito.

Xi Sister Meng Ze sat up straight and made some space. Qi Guan Mingzhu sat down.

"Your face is big enough. Even Hong Xiao called me personally to ask if he could talk to you."

Xi Sister Meng Ze curled her lips: "I thought he would keep stiff and indifferent. I didn't expect him to find me personally either."

Qi Guan Mingzhu thought thoughtfully: "This proves that people are forced to be anxious."

These days she also received some calls, some familiar and some unfamiliar, all asking about Xi Sister Meng Ze's matter.

"I Am a Singer" also mobilized many relationships to find Xi Sister Meng Ze.

But Qi Guan Mingzhu was with Meng Meng, and she blocked everyone who asked, saying they had already left.

Photos?

What photos?

Those were taken a few days ago, and they were only leaked now. People had already left long ago!

This has become Qi Guan Mingzhu's universal excuse.

Xi Sister Meng Ze turned on the TV, pressed a channel randomly, and it happened to be Pineapple TV, playing the recording of the previous season of "I Am a Singer."

She didn't change it either and listened to other celebrities singing.

Although the production team doesn't act like humans, the singers they invite have very good strength.

Qi Guan Mingzhu glanced at her and asked: "What are your plans?"

Xi Sister Meng Ze rolled her eyes: "What plans can I have? Just let the company handle it for me. If we can talk, we sing. If we can't talk, we quit. It's not like I'm begging to be on this program."

Qi Guan Mingzhu thought of Meng Meng originally being set as a kick-hall singer, and later changed to a debut singer after several auditions, and couldn't help but burst into laughter.

"That's right, anyway, the one who is anxious is not you."

"Ding-dong!" The phone received a message. It was sent by Chen Lin.

Clicking it open, it was his complaint again.

Chen Lin: 【The captain is too strict with us. Sigh, I feel like I'm going to faint again. My body!】

Qi Guan Mingzhu: 【If you are really tired, apply for a rest. Don't ruin your body while you are young.】

Chen Lin: 【Uh-huh, I will. Although I'm tired, my body is still quite good!】

Qi Guan Mingzhu: 【How do you know?】

Chen Lin: 【Why don't you come over sometime? I'll do push-ups and you sit on my back. I'll prove it to you?】

Qi Guan Mingzhu just wanted to agree and say okay, but felt this content was a bit emmm.

She replied slowly: 【No】

Beside her came Xi Sister Meng Ze's mutter: "Who are you chatting with, laughing so happily? Are you hiding from me and raising a dog outside?"

Qi Guan Mingzhu turned off the phone screen, threw it aside, and said leisurely: "Don't raise dogs, only fishing."

Xi Sister Meng Ze: "Hey, why are you the same as Jin Li? She also likes fishing and feeding fish."

By the next day, it was Thursday.

The voice of Xi Sister Meng Ze quitting the competition was getting more and more intense.

And at this time, even the production team played dumb, didn't do public relations externally, and didn't respond at all. Xi Sister Meng Ze hit several hot searches in a row.

#Xi Sister Meng Ze quits competition#

#Xi Sister Meng Ze and "I Am a Singer" part ways#

#Xi Sister Meng Ze ranking inaccurate#

The dissatisfaction accumulated by netizens these days reached the peak today, erupting comprehensively, and everyone was attacking the production team.

【When Meng Meng was officially announced, I shouted for her not to participate. Now she's been played by the production team (refuse)】

【If you can't play live, don't play. We aren't unable to listen to music (hehe)】

【What's the point of this program? Every time it's held, it offends the singer circle. This time it's going to offend all singers, right?】

【So, who replaced Xi Sister Meng Ze's ranking?】

Because there were many hot searches online and the popularity was high, some singers preparing for the battle also saw it, especially seeing many netizens spontaneously voting for who should get seventh place, their eyelids couldn't help but jump.

Singers who thought they were estimated to be seventh place were all very guilty.

So they called the director one after another.

"Director Hong, is Xi Sister Meng Ze really going to quit the competition?"

"Director Hong, will the competition tomorrow night continue?"

"Director Hong, don't you care about the public opinion on the internet?"

Hong Xiao started to answer, and would explain one or two sentences. Later, he also turned off his phone.

This time Xi Sister Meng Ze hit the hot search, which was within his expectation.

Some popularity was pushed up by the production team itself.

Arriving at noon, the data department said Xi Sister Meng Ze's popularity had declined, and "I Am a Singer" personally posted a blog, officially announcing the song list that the singers would sing tomorrow night.

And Xi Sister Meng Ze's name was in it!

Netizens were surprised and happy at the same time. Although they like to watch the fun, if the production team can properly resolve the contradiction with the singer and continue to hold it, they can also accept it.

【False alarm, almost thought this program couldn't be held anymore.】

【A small Xi Sister Meng Ze still can't affect anything.】

【Can watch excellent and wonderful stages again.】

【Pfft, so many program fans, this is blowing it up? You don't even look at what song Xi Sister Meng Ze chose. This is a proper slap in the face!】

【Hahaha, I must go watch the live broadcast tomorrow night. Support Xi Sister Meng Ze!】

After Jin Li finished filming, she heard Chen Qin mention today's hot search and the song list announced by the production team, and couldn't help but be surprised.

Her eyes flickered, and she said playfully: "Didn't expect Meng Meng to choose this song. The key is that the production team actually let her sing it. It can be considered flexible."

Jin Li opened her phone and found a voice message sent by Sister Fang.

Seeing that she was very concerned about Meng Meng's matter, Sister Fang also gave her a bottom line.

"Everything was settled last night, and the song list was also discussed together. Originally Hong Xiao didn't agree to let Xi Sister Meng Ze sing this song. I said if you don't agree, we will quit the competition. Finally, Hong Xiao pinched his nose and agreed, and the announcement fee also doubled."

Jin Li replied in a low voice: "I remember the appearance fee Meng Meng signed with the production team wasn't high, but it's just doubling, why consider it for so long?"

She thought it was tripling.

Appearing once is only 50W, doubling is 100W, tripling is 150W.

It looks like just moving your mouth, and the cost is so high. The money in the entertainment industry is really easy to earn.

But a celebrity's commercial value isn't calculated like this.

Since Meng Meng participated in "I Am a Singer," how many wonderful performances has she contributed, and how many hot searches has she set off on the internet?

Her performance on the spot can even be produced by the production team into a live version and sold on music software.

The production team can get all the dividends!

And for many of Meng Meng's hit songs, just relying on internet channel dividends, "I Am a Singer" had already earned back Meng Meng's appearance fee.

Not to mention the popularity brought, the advertisers attracted are all at the ten-million level.

There are always some people who feel like they are cutting meat when they earn a little money from you.

Sui Lingfang smiled: "They think Xi Sister Meng Ze is not a diva, and a single appearance fee as high as 100W is already at the diva level, so they refuse to give it.

Giving 100W is like cutting their meat, let alone giving 150W. If we made a concession on the price, maybe they would have agreed faster."

Jin Li sent a smiling expression.

"Good things take time, let's grind more."

After chatting with Sister Fang, the 【Pink Girl】 group also kept receiving messages, all tagging Xi Sister Meng Ze, asking how her state was.

Meng Meng: 【Ho, I feel my state is very good. I can eat a cow. No one wants to take advantage of me!】

Meng Meng: 【I can't help but want to sing! I want to hit a high key!】

Qinglian: 【(Snicker) Don't talk so full. I saw the one who got first place last time, she is still singing classic magnificent tracks this time. The one you sing might not be able to kill it.】

Meng Meng: 【That's really hard to say (grin)】

Meng Meng: 【Actually, people didn't choose this song. It was already rehearsed, but because I wanted to choose this one, the production team temporarily discussed with her to change the song to deal with my track this time. They don't want me to get first place.】

Jin Li couldn't help but bubble up.

Carp: 【Tsk, they just don't want you to be good, don't want you to get first place.】

Meng Meng: 【I don't care about it. Have the ability to keep letting me be eighth!】

After chatting, Jin Li put down her phone, took the initiative to dial Gu Cheng's video call, and made an appointment with him to do a set of test papers together.

The physics test paper they did together before, she was careless.

Whether it was the speed of solving problems or the accuracy rate, there was still some gap with Gu Cheng.

But this gap is not impossible to narrow.

After all, the scope of the exam is just those few.

Although it is hitting people to say it, the facts are indeed so.

—Some people score 100 points because the test paper only has 100 points.

Gu Cheng is limited by the test paper.

And she still has room for improvement.

High school physics problems are still simple. Jin Li felt she could chase.

Another 2 hours passed.

This time, Jin Li's problem-solving speed became faster, and she didn't make careless mistakes in multiple-choice questions.

Gu Cheng still finished first. After checking the answers, Jin Li was only 10 points behind him.

This made her brows relax, and she said excitedly: "The gap is getting smaller and smaller. Maybe after filming, I can get full marks on the high school physics test paper."

Gu Cheng looked at the places she got wrong and said: "Some problems you shouldn't have gotten wrong, but this is not your carelessness, but the knowledge point wasn't learned. You should start learning high school year two knowledge."

Jin Li said "hmm": "The crew has had few scenes recently. I'll find the professor more diligently. I should be able to knock down half of the content of the first semester of high school year two."

Gu Cheng raised his eyebrows: "Only half?"

Jin Li said helplessly: "Half is already very good. My foundation has just been supplemented. Don't look at me so magically."

The time she stays on the crew next, it is estimated that there is no month.

During the period, she has to film, using fragmented time to learn half a semester, that is, two months of knowledge points. This efficiency is fast enough.

Gu Cheng thought for a while and said: "The physics professor invited by the crew is specially teaching college. He may not have much research on high school physics knowledge points, but his grasp of the overall situation will be very comprehensive."

"Try to discuss more with him. Quickly establishing a large knowledge framework will make you learn faster."

Jin Li asked: "Is it really useful?"

Gu Cheng smiled at her: "In the matter of learning, when have I ever lied to you?"

Jin Li smiled slightly: "That's true."

About to hang up the video call, Jin Li caught a glimpse of the script in Gu Cheng's hand again and couldn't help but say:

"If you want to film, we can communicate more. My acting seems to be quite good."

Gu Cheng paused, and said thoughtfully: "It is possible to communicate more. Everything will be discussed after you return from the crew."

Jin Li: "Okay."

Friday, the last day of the work week.

For the "Dream Builders" crew, this is also a good day.

Because the whole crew is off on Saturday and Sunday, even Director Zhong is off, walking according to the international statutory holidays.

Except for the filming time that cannot be controlled, the crew gives holidays quite enough, unless the filming time conflicts with the announcement. After the crew's adjustment, individual actors film on weekends.

Otherwise, these two days are generally off.

Jin Li also discovered after filming a movie that the movie crew and the TV series crew are quite different.

The movie crew team, including actors and directors, are not in a hurry, and have a feeling of following the steps.

Jin Li told Sister Fang about her feelings after filming a movie, and Sister Fang said:

"Actually, it is also because our film industry is developing better and better. Many rules and regulations have been improved, and the domestic movie box office is a battleground for all countries."

Jin Li understood.

If so, it must play a leading role.

Sui Lingfang thought of the achievements of the film and television industry in the past.

In terms of TV series, it is indeed far behind movies.

Movies still have the advantage of duration!

In terms of channels, it is also much better than TV series.

Sui Lingfang said: "However, they are all film and television industries. Our TV series have also developed very rapidly in recent years."

Jin Li smiled: "Yes!"

She noticed Sui Lingfang's background and asked curiously: "Are you at the 'I Am a Singer' scene?"

Sui Lingfang smiled: "Not just me alone, I called the publicity department of Chenxi Entertainment over. By the way, there are also He Yixuan and Gong Jiajia."

She said lightly: "I specially applied for a batch of funds from the boss and invited everyone to come and watch the live broadcast together."

Jin Li understood the stakes and couldn't help but give Sister Fang a thumbs up.

Good courage!

Frontal collision!

This will definitely hit a hot search!

Sui Lingfang felt some regret: "It's a pity you are on the crew, so I didn't call you. If you could come, the effect would be even better."

Jin Li's mind stirred.

She looked at the time on her phone. It was only three o'clock in the afternoon.

The reason she called Sister Fang was because she

Jin Li calculated the time for a direct flight and the time to rush to the scene, then decisively said, "Sister Fang, arrange a flight for me."
