Chapter 600: Chips
"Yeah, of course." Xu Tian replied. "However, the competition in the units you two were nominated for is very fierce. Needless to say, Best Female Singer, and those nominated for musicals are also well-known musical actors or singers in the entertainment industry."
Like Nie Jingjing and Murong Xue, two newcomers who were nominated for the first time, the possibility of becoming runners-up was also very high.
This newly released Golden Melody Awards nomination list had already caused a huge uproar on the internet. Among the many powerful singers, the nomination of Murong Xue and Nie Jingjing made the vast number of netizens quite surprised.
Xu Tian looked at the real-time square for a few glances and saw dozens of scolding and bearish content.
"My God, what did I see? Even Nie Jingjing, that tone-deaf vase, has been nominated for the Golden Melody Awards. Are they going to close down after this session?"
"Originally thought the Golden Melody Awards was a very professional award, didn't expect that any cat or dog could be nominated. Nie Jingjing doesn't even have decent works, why is she selected to compete with other seniors?"
"I even suspect that Nie Jingjing bribed the judges of the Golden Melody Awards to get in through the back door!"
"Protest, protest! This nomination list has too much water. It is recommended that the organizers of the Golden Melody Awards don't smash their own signs and quickly replace a certain unlucky vase!"
"It's really too outrageous. Even someone like Nie Jingjing can be nominated for Best Female Singer at the Golden Melody Awards. Our Huaxia music scene is afraid it's going to be finished!"
The scolding under the official Weibo of the Golden Melody Awards was like a river, and there were even hate fans who spontaneously organized screen-brushing protests to pressure the organizers to replace Nie Jingjing.
At first, there were Nie Jingjing's fans explaining for her, saying that her album this time had improved a lot. However, the indignant netizens, under the instigation of hate fans with ulterior motives, couldn't listen at all, and sprayed all those rational fans into sieves.
Most people hadn't listened to the new album Nie Jingjing was nominated for at all, and still wore colored glasses, treating Nie Jingjing as a vase that was good for nothing, as if the three words "Nie Jingjing" were synonymous with bad singing skills.
No one was willing to believe that she really had improved, and that the new album really had the qualifications to be nominated for the Golden Melody Awards Best Female Singer selection.
These self-proclaimed righteous netizens used keyboards as weapons, as if they had eaten stimulants, scolding everywhere on the internet. As long as they encountered netizens who spoke for Nie Jingjing or remained neutral, they would pounce on them and spray wildly, not giving the other party a chance to talk back or explain.
Gradually, passers-by naturally didn't dare to speak for Nie Jingjing. Only a small part of die-hard fans persisted in explaining for her. However, the remarks of this small part couldn't stir up any waves in this carnival of hate fans.
Xu Tian didn't expect that the negative evaluation on the internet would be so fierce, and it had even formed a large-scale cyberbullying.
He rubbed his brow and looked at Nie Jingjing with a headache: "Your passer-by popularity is too bad, otherwise there wouldn't be so many people being led by hate fans."
Nie Jingjing spread her hands innocently: "What can I do? My heat is high, everyone wants to come and rub it, blame me?"
Xu Tian: "... I didn't mean to praise you."
Several people were chatting when Xu Tian's phone rang. He glanced at the caller ID, it was Yan Qingxue.
"Hello?"
"Xu Tian, the nomination list for the Golden Melody Awards is out, hurry up and take a look."
Xu Tian: "Already saw it."
Yan Qingxue paused for a moment before continuing: "Then did you see the negative evaluations about Nie Jingjing on the internet?"
"Saw it, the negative comments under the Weibo post of the official list have been brushed to 100,000."
"How much do these people hate her?"
Yan Qingxue couldn't understand why netizens would vent such great resentment on a stranger they had never met.
She looked at the scolding on Weibo and only felt a chill down her spine. Some people even cursed Nie Jingjing to die. This was really a bit terrifying.
"Since Nie Jingjing's debut, the impression she gave people was a vase with poor singing skills, good for nothing except looks. Plus, she had a lot of negative news before, which directly left a bad impression on netizens."
"Now Nie Jingjing is suddenly nominated for the Golden Melody Awards. Those netizens naturally don't believe it, and plus there are hate fans and water armies maliciously leading the rhythm. Now no matter how we explain, we can't reverse public opinion."
"Then what should we do now?"
Yan Qingxue was a bit anxious.
"Because the negative voice this time is too loud, the few brands that originally wanted to cooperate with us all demanded to terminate the contract, and the few notices were also temporarily replaced!"
"Now more than half of the entertainment industry is boycotting Nie Jingjing, and by the way, boycotting our company. There must be the handwriting of my second uncle and the others in this!"
Yan Qingxue was not stupid. Before, her grandfather had already loosened his mouth. If her new company had improved, he would agree to let her return to the Yan Group.
According to the greedy character of her second uncle's family, they would definitely try every means to suppress her and let her company close down.
If they couldn't survive this crisis, and the word-of-mouth of Nie Jingjing and the upcoming variety show didn't improve, then I am afraid they would really be unable to recover this time.
"Don't be too pessimistic." Xu Tian comforted her. "Nie Jingjing and Murong Xue have both been nominated for the Golden Melody Awards. This is our chip."
"But this chip is useless!" Yan Qingxue raised her volume because she was too excited. "The competition for the Golden Melody Awards is so fierce. If one of them wins an award, it's fine. If both lose, the subsequent "All People's Singer-Songwriter" won't have much heat!"
"Our company has invested most of its funds into this variety show. If we can't get our money back, we will have to close down before long!"
She had been looking for sponsors to pull investment recently, but those people didn't pay attention to her at all. Later, they didn't even answer her calls and hung up directly.
And the interviews and variety shows that had been negotiated for Nie Jingjing and Murong Xue were all replaced by magazine agencies and producers before filming. The current situation really made Yan Qingxue feel like she was at the end of her rope.
In despair, she even took the initiative to bow her head and call Producer Zhou of Miguo Satellite TV, begging him to put the unbroadcast parts of the show as behind-the-scenes on the official Weibo, even if it wasn't broadcast on TV, it would be good to have a little more heat.
However, she didn't expect that even such a small request, the other party wouldn't agree, and directly refused her with the excuse that the original video had been deleted.
Xu Tian listened to Yan Qingxue venting her emotions silently. After a long while, he said: "Qingxue, calm down."
"Sorry, Xu Tian, I..." Yan Qingxue knew she shouldn't mess up her own position now, but she couldn't control it at all.
"I know you are anxious, but there is still hope before you are at the end of your rope."
