Chapter 598: Consistent praise
Nie Jingjing had quite a few fans, but her exposure rate in the past six months was not high, plus the suppression of Tian Feng Entertainment, so some wavering fans directly climbed the wall and turned to the arms of other artists.
Although she now had some die-hard fans, the number was limited after all. Selling 500,000 on the first day and accumulating 1 million in a week could already be considered a good result.
But looking at the entire entertainment industry, especially the results of other traffic singers that often reach millions, it was not enough.
Xu Tian didn't speak. In fact, he didn't hold much hope for that variety show.
"Xu Ge, it's bad!" Just then, Qin Yuqing ran in from outside in a hurry.
"What's wrong?" The people in the office looked at Qin Yuqing in unison.
"The show "Singers Are Coming" that Sister Jingjing and Xiao Xue recorded before has been launched, but their footage has all been cut, not even a single segment!"
Qin Yuqing was very angry at Miguo Satellite TV's approach. They had waited for several hours, and even if they only filmed for ten minutes, at least they shouldn't have had zero footage.
She originally optimistically estimated that even if it wasn't ten minutes, at least Nie Jingjing's solo part could be released. As a result, she opened the show with full expectation today and watched it from beginning to end, but in the end, only anger and disappointment remained.
"What, not a single shot?" Murong Xue looked at Qin Yuqing blankly, and only after a while did she react, her face turning pale.
She originally thought that participating in the Miguo Satellite TV variety show with Nie Jingjing could at least bring some promotional heat to the company, but she didn't expect that the parts she and Nie Jingjing participated in were all cut and couldn't even be broadcast.
Recently, the notices for both her and Nie Jingjing had been greatly reduced. It was clear that someone was deliberately targeting and suppressing them, not letting them have any heat.
Before the album and "All People's Singer-Songwriter" were prepared, it didn't matter if they had less exposure, but now Nie Jingjing had already released a new album, and the talent variety show "All People's Singer-Songwriter" was also about to be launched. Losing exposure at this time was undoubtedly fatal to their losses.
"Miguo Satellite TV is really too much!" Qin Yuqing was very angry. "Xu Ge, the heat of Sister Jingjing's new album and "All People's Singer-Songwriter" on Weibo has dropped sharply. If this continues, I'm afraid it will affect the nomination of the Golden Melody Awards and investment."
"How about letting Sister Jingjing and Xiao Xue post more on Weibo during this time? I'll go find out if there are any internet celebrity jokes recently, at least it can increase some heat for them."
"No." Xu Tian immediately vetoed. "Filming and releasing some irrelevant internet celebrity jokes at this time is undoubtedly a consumption of the popularity of these two people, and netizens will also see that they are deliberately operating, and the effect will be counterproductive."
"It's normal that the promotion can't keep up now. I told you before that Tian Feng Entertainment and Giant Star Media will definitely try every means to suppress us. Therefore, even if we run more notices and spend more money on promotion during this time, it won't have any effect. So we must spend the company's limited funds in necessary places."
"Necessary places?" Qin Yuqing asked puzzledly. "The album has been released, and most of the recording for "All People's Singer-Songwriter" is over, leaving only the live part. Now, besides promotion, what else is necessary?"
"Use the remaining working capital to fund poor children in mountainous areas." Xu Tian replied.
"Do charity?"
Qin Yuqing was shocked. She wasn't against doing charity, but now the company's funds were tight. In this situation, still going to do charity, was it a bit...
"I think this method is feasible." Shang Yiran on the other side spoke up. "Xu Ge, if you are at ease, leave this matter to my agent, Brother Zhou. He has contacted many charity organizations for me before."
"Can." Xu Tian nodded. "Then the task of contacting the poor mountainous areas will be handed over to Brother Zhou."
Zhou Ping, who was beside Shang Yiran, nodded and replied: "Leave it to me!"
"Everyone don't be impatient during this time, just do your part."
"And you." Xu Tian fixed his gaze on Nie Jingjing. "Don't go down to scold hate fans yourself like before. If you can't control your hands, then I will consider confiscating all your social accounts."
Nie Jingjing: "... Why am I the only one being treated differently?"
"You say why?" Xu Tian spread his hands. "Because Xiao Xue never posts those messy Weibo posts."
"Hmph!" Nie Jingjing took her anger out on Murong Xue. "You only know how to act obedient!"
Murong Xue, who was shot innocently:...
"Alright, since your notices will be reduced, why not use this time to hone your singing skills? If you really feel bored, you can also learn songwriting. Read less news on the internet."
"I know, Xu Ge." Murong Xue nodded obediently. "I want to try composing."
Xu Tian was very gratified: "Come on, if there is anything you don't understand, you can ask Han Zhipian for advice."
Nie Jingjing: "Then what about me? How about I learn an instrument?"
"Whatever you learn is fine, as long as you don't give up halfway."
Xu Tian knew Nie Jingjing too well. If she learned an instrument, she probably wouldn't last half a month.
"Mr. Xu, then you underestimate me too much. I've decided, in the future, I will play and sing at my own concert!"
"Get nominated for the Golden Melody Awards first." Xu Tian calmly poured a basin of cold water. "Without a single award, you still want to hold a concert? I'm not even good at attracting investment."
Nie Jingjing:...
Ying ying ying, why is Mr. Xu always so harsh on her.
Qin Yuqing looked at Nie Jingjing who was acting cute, but the corners of her mouth couldn't lift. She sighed and said to Xu Tian: "Xu Ge, in another week, the nomination list for the Golden Melody Awards will be announced. If both Sister Jingjing and Xiao Xue can be nominated, that would be great."
"Can I also be nominated for the Golden Melody Awards?" Murong Xue asked curiously.
"Of course you can. You participated in Han Zhipian's musical before, you can be nominated for Best Musical Actress." Qin Yuqing said. "However, it's not certain whether you can be nominated. After all, the competition in musicals is also very fierce."
Qin Yuqing was right. Not long after Murong Xue's musical tour ended, Giant Star Media launched several large-scale musical tour plans, and they also invited well-known teams to tour in Huaxia's first-tier cities, and even invited retired Heavenly Kings and Queens to star.
Now most of the tours are nearing the end, and they have received consistent praise.
"I'm still a newcomer, I shouldn't have a chance to be nominated."
Murong Xue sighed. In fact, she had no confidence in her performance. Let alone winning an award, just based on her qualifications, even with the bonus of Han Zhipian's fame, it was difficult to be nominated.
"In short, now we can only look forward to the results of the Golden Melody Awards."
