Chapter 599: Brother Xu, am I really nominated?

Qin Yuqing actually couldn't understand Xu Tian's planning for Nie Jingjing and Murong Xue. According to Nie Jingjing's traffic, if she released a few internet celebrity songs that fit the current internet popular taste, plus her own popularity, it would definitely make the new album explode.

As for Murong Xue, it was the same. If she used her innate advantages and sent her to participate in a few more reality shows to drive popularity, it would at least have more heat than now.

One had to know that artists with popularity in the entertainment industry all want to transform, but the price required for transformation is also huge.

Xu Tian dared to be so bold not long after entering the entertainment industry, which was unexpected for Qin Yuqing.

In fact, she knew that Xu Tian did this for the future of Nie Jingjing and Murong Xue, but the road to entering the mainstream music circle is long and difficult. Giving up popularity now, it is very likely that they will lose both ends, neither having traffic nor getting recognition from the mainstream music circle.

Today's entertainment industry is very cruel. Newcomers emerge every year. If Nie Jingjing and Murong Xue are not allowed to accumulate fans while they are still young and become top-tier female singers, I am afraid that when other newcomers grow up, they will regret it.

Especially since their new company is often suppressed by other large companies. They have no resources, no connections, and not even reliable sponsors. Under such conditions, if they lose the existing traffic, what will they use to compete with other artists in the future?

The variety show "All People's Singer-Songwriter" will be launched soon. If the effect does not reach expectations, it means that the company's early investment has all gone down the drain, facing the risk of bankruptcy.

The more Qin Yuqing thought about it, the more worried she became. She finally found a job, wouldn't she face unemployment so soon?

She wanted to persuade Xu Tian to occasionally put down his status to cater to the market for the sake of profit, but seeing Xu Tian's decision so firm, she, an agent assistant, had no position to interfere.

"Xiao Qing, you organize the itinerary for Nie Jingjing and Xiao Xue for next week, and see how many unfinished notices we have."

Xu Tian's words pulled Qin Yuqing back to reality. She nodded hurriedly and left the office, running toward her workstation.

Just as Qin Yuqing left Xu Tian's office, Xu Tian received a call. He glanced at the caller ID, then signaled to Nie Jingjing and the others, and walked out of the office alone with the phone.

After he walked to the window at the end of the corridor, he answered the phone with a serious expression.

"Hello?"

"Agent Xu, the investment we talked about before might have to be delayed for a while." The investor who had previously confirmed to sponsor "All People's Singer-Songwriter" said firmly. "My company has had some problems with funds recently."

"Okay, I know." Xu Tian responded lightly and hung up the phone without further entanglement with the other party.

This was the third investor who called to indicate withdrawal of capital. Now Xu Tian was already used to it.

Nie Jingjing's new album did not reach the heat expected by the outside world, and recently Murong Xue had no new works, so investors were not optimistic about the talent variety show with them as team leaders.

Although Shang Yiran also participated in the recording of two episodes as a guest, this gimmick was not enough for investors to invest.

After all, this was a brand-new talent show. Before this, the talent shows in the Huaxia entertainment industry were all contestants fighting alone, but this time "All People's Singer-Songwriter" was a competition mode where groups advanced as a whole. If one prospers, all prosper; if one suffers, all suffer.

But precisely because of this, it led to a large number of participating contestants in the whole program. If there were no contestants with enough popularity or controversial topics, the heat of this program, which was not much, would soon drop to the freezing point.

Xu Tian took his phone and returned to the office.

Nie Jingjing and the others asked curiously: "Who called? Any new arrangements?"

"No." Xu Tian's reaction was as calm as ever. "Everything is according to the original plan."

After several investors withdrew their capital, Xu Tian gave up the practice of looking for sponsors temporarily. During this period, several popular singers released albums one after another.

As for Nie Jingjing, who should have been in the promotion period, and Murong Xue, who had no new work for several months, they were taken by Xu Tian to teach in poor mountainous areas and send warmth to the families of martyrs.

Since there were no new notices inviting them, Xu Tian simply arranged all the subsequent itineraries in public places such as orphanages, nursing homes, and psychological counseling clinics, starting the road of charity.

On the day the nomination list for the Golden Melody Awards was announced, Nie Jingjing and Murong Xue were still playing games with children in the orphanage.

"Sister, what are you holding in your hand?" A little girl with sheep-horn braids looked curiously at the phone in Nie Jingjing's hand.

Even though electronic products have become an indispensable tool for people, children in the orphanage still have no chance to come into contact with these advanced devices.

"This is something used to contact people." Nie Jingjing thought of an explanation that would be easy for children to understand.

The little girl blinked her eyes as if she understood: "It's a phone, right?"

"Yeah, but it has more functions than a phone."

Nie Jingjing was just about to find a video on her phone to play for the little girl, but was suddenly attracted by the Weibo reminder that popped up on the screen.

"Sister?" The little girl tilted her head and reached out her little hand to pull Nie Jingjing's hem.

"Be good, go play with that sister."

Nie Jingjing pushed the child to Murong Xue next to her, and then her fingers clicked on the message push with a slight tremor.

Five seconds later, a high-pitched scream suddenly erupted in the orphanage's activity room.

"Ah ah ah ah! Mr. Xu, look quickly, I've been nominated for Best Female Singer at the Golden Melody Awards! Mr. Xu, did you see it! I've been nominated! I've been nominated!"

Xu Tian had already seen the list published on Weibo. Compared with Nie Jingjing, his reaction was much calmer.

"Don't be excited, it's just a nomination, you still have four competitors."

Being able to get this nomination was also within Xu Tian's expectations. After all, although this album had a different style from Nie Jingjing's previous style, the whole album was personally controlled by him, and he also invited a genius producer in the circle. Both the quality and professionalism were very consistent with the consistent selection style of the Golden Melody Awards.

However, although being nominated is a big step toward success, Xu Tian couldn't guarantee whether Nie Jingjing could finally win the Song Queen title.

"Jingjing, that's great, congratulations."

Murong Xue saw all of Nie Jingjing's efforts and was sincerely happy for her.

"Xiao Xue, you've also been nominated." Xu Tian looked at Murong Xue, who was still happy for others, with a faint smile. "You've been nominated for Best Actress in the musical unit."

"What?" Murong Xue took a deep breath in disbelief. "Brother Xu, am I really nominated?"
