Chapter 531

Nie Jingjing:...

You shut up!

Actually, there was no help for this. Shang Yiran had both popularity and strength, and his character couldn't be smeared. As for Murong Xue, she had had no black material since her debut.

Guo Zhihao wanted to fix Xu Tian, so he could only start with Nie Jingjing.

It just so happened that Nie Jingjing's previous singing skills were indeed not very good, so there was no way to even start whitewashing.

Xu Tian had been letting her persist in vocal lessons during this time, with the goal of wanting her to wash away the title of "flower vase."

But Nie Jingjing also felt very aggrieved. She was clearly on the idol route; even if her singing skills were a bit worse, so what?

Her fans loved her personality and her face. If they liked good singing skills, wouldn't it be better to fan those powerful female singers?

And she clearly felt her own progress. During the company's last team-building trip to KTV, she sang her signature song and didn't go off-key once!

Actually, she still had talent; it was just that she hadn't worked hard before.

Now that she had been taking vocal lessons for half a year, it was time to be reborn and let those who looked down on her see what an idol powerhouse was.

Nie Jingjing was indignant and wanted to stand up for herself.

Poor Xiaoyu wasn't paying attention and had her phone snatched back.

Two minutes later, there was another Weibo post on the real-time hot search list.

Nie Jingjing: Are the water army members rushing their performance at the end of the year? If there's no news, you want me to make up your KPI, right? Why don't you look at how long ago this scene was? You're not ashamed to reheat old, outdated news from two years ago! I'm telling you, it was because I wasn't singing seriously before. If I get serious, the Best Female Singer at next year's Golden Melody Awards will be mine! If I can't get the Song Queen title, I'll retire from the circle with Murong Xue!

Xu Tian had a headache looking at this long paragraph from Nie Jingjing.

Retiring from the circle would be one thing, but why drag Murong Xue along?

Murong Xue's career was on the rise, and getting the Best Female Singer was only a matter of time. Could it be that she really had to retire with you?

If the hate fans bought by Guo Zhihao didn't have a suitable opportunity to operate before, then Nie Jingjing's Weibo post could be said to have directly handed the knife to them.

Under Nie Jingjing's Weibo post, a large number of hate fans poured in instantly.

"Hahahahaha... this is the funniest joke I've ever heard!"

"With your tone-deaf voice, you still want to get Best Female Singer? Keep dreaming!"

"Am I the only one looking forward to the next Golden Melody Awards starting soon? I can't wait for this kind of music circle tumor that only knows how to hype to retire!"

"Isn't that so? All day long, you only know how to hype and brag about your looks. With your sharp and mean appearance, are you worthy of calling yourself a beauty?"

Obviously, no one believed Nie Jingjing's words, and no one believed she could get Best Female Singer. As for retiring, it was just a hype.

After all, if she shamelessly didn't retire, no one could do anything to her.

Amidst the abuse from countless hate fans and water army members, Nie Jingjing's fans were wailing.

"Sister, why did you bet with the hate fans? We don't want you to retire, woo woo woo..."

"Even if sister is a flower vase for a lifetime, we will still make data and buy albums to support you!"

Nie Jingjing felt even more heartbroken looking at the fans' comments.

"They don't believe I can get Best Female Singer? They are my fans, after all; can't they give me a little more confidence!"

Yan Qingxue rolled her eyes: "They know you."

Nie Jingjing:...

"You also think I can't?"

"What do you think yourself?" Yan Qingxue threw this thorny question back.

Nie Jingjing was silent for a second, then made a fist with one hand in a fighting posture.

"I think I can."

"Pfft..." Nie Jingjing's assistant Xiaoyu, who was drinking water on the side, couldn't hold it in and sprayed out a mouthful of water.

Before she could catch her breath, she was almost choked to death by Yan Qingxue's shocking remarks.

"Why, do you have a way to bribe the Golden Melody Awards judges?" Yan Qingxue raised an eyebrow, "Do it cleanly; don't leave any evidence to implicate me and Xu Tian."

Nie Jingjing:...

Your sister's evidence!

If she were really awesome enough to bribe the Golden Melody Awards judges, would she still care about a crappy trophy?

"Actually, Nie Jingjing has made progress during this time." Murong Xue coughed lightly, "At least her breath is steady."

This was also Xu Tian's credit. He required Nie Jingjing to run five kilometers in addition to taking vocal lessons every day, and to take pictures of the numbers on the treadmill to show him.

"But, even if you know how to do two-digit addition and subtraction, you can't win the National Math Olympiad champion, right?" It wasn't that Yan Qingxue wanted to belittle Nie Jingjing; it was mainly that "steady breath" was the most basic requirement for a singer.

Their company did have a plan to prepare Nie Jingjing's new album after the variety show, and the time would just happen to catch up with next year's Golden Melody Awards.

It was just that according to Nie Jingjing's current strength, let alone winning an award, even getting nominated would be difficult.

"Who said I only know two-digit addition and subtraction? Bah!" Nie Jingjing said with great disdain, "Who said I only have the advantage of steady breath? Since last week, the vocal teacher has said my pitch has improved."

"Hmm, then it's not hopeless." Yan Qingxue said with relief.

Some people are born with pitch problems, which is what the public often calls "tone-deaf," while some people go off-key, which is purely because they haven't mastered the correct singing techniques.

It seems Nie Jingjing is not a born tone-deaf person; at least there is still a possibility of training.

"Hmph, don't underestimate me!" Nie Jingjing said firmly, "The reason why my singing skills were criticized before was that I didn't want to work hard! Now I'm going to get serious. The Best Female Singer at the next Golden Melody Awards will be mine!"

"Then good luck!" Yan Qingxue made a cheering gesture to Nie Jingjing with a blank face, and then dialed Xu Tian's phone.

"Hello? Xu Tian, did you see the hot search?"

Xu Tian: "I saw it."

He didn't go to the company this morning; he originally wanted to spend more time with Yun Moting.

As a result, Nie Jingjing created a big news story for him.

"Then what should we do? Should we buy water army members to suppress the negative comments, or should the official side issue a statement proving that Nie Jingjing has been practicing singing hard recently?"

Xu Tian: "Neither is needed. In a few days, that public opinion will subside."

Those water army members who scolded Nie Jingjing were all paid to do things. Xu Tian didn't believe that the people behind the scenes who were blacking them would keep paying.

What's more, it wasn't a secret in the entertainment industry that Nie Jingjing's singing skills were not good. The brands and satellite TV stations that came to her for cooperation valued her popularity, so she didn't lack work.

"But, will this make the hate fans even more rampant?" Yan Qingxue asked.

Xu Tian: "Nie Jingjing has always had hate fans. Only when her singing skills are truly improved can this problem be solved fundamentally. In this variety show, although she is only a celebrity mentor, it is enough for her to show the results of her recent practice."

"You let her record the show and take classes with peace of mind now, and let Xiaoyu confiscate her social media accounts. Don't let her speak again."

Xu Tian went to meet two investors in the afternoon. Because of the promotion at the Yan Group's annual meeting, "All People's Singer-Songwriter" had gained some heat, and at the same time, many sponsors wanted to cooperate with them.

However, most investors wanted pre-determined debut spots, which was very common in Huaxia entertainment industry's selection variety shows, but Xu Tian didn't want his variety show to have such fraudulent components.

This was unfair to those contestants with dreams.

Therefore, the afternoon meeting ended unhappily. Xu Tian drove back to the suburban villa and happened to meet Tang Bingyan coming home from work.

But she was holding a large bouquet of fresh, dripping roses in her arms.

Xu Tian was stunned when he saw the roses, and then frowned.

Someone actually sent flowers to his wife?

Was it Gu Beicheng? Or some other man?
