Chapter 397
Time passed quickly, and soon the recording time of the third episode of "We Are Singers".
Because Xiao Ke was eliminated from the last episode of the first singer Xiao Ke ranked last, there are only five singers left on the stage.
When we met again, the five starter singers all had some sympathy for each other. The collision and friction between them had already been almost done, and their relationship was one step closer.
After meeting, everyone smiled knowingly, sat together and started chatting like old friends.
During the first episode, Yu Ying sat on the sofa with a cold attitude and a serious expression, completely like an ice and snow queen. However, after being together for a long time, Yu Ying put down her guard and instantly became a village head aunt who loves gossip.
She started the topic first and said, "Hey, do you guys know which singer is here to fill the position today? Are they a veteran in the music industry or a rising star?"
Chen Zhe, Hu Lei and others shook their heads repeatedly.
"I haven't heard of it."
"No news..."
Shu Qian turned to Zhang Chonghua and asked, "Teacher Zhang, among us, you are the most familiar with Teacher Cheng Tao, right? Didn't he reveal anything to you?"
Zhang Chonghua quickly shook his head and said, "No... this is really not. You all know the program team's routine. They have done a great job of keeping the guests confidentiality. There is no news that can catch the wind and shadow... let alone guess the name of the filler singer."
At this time, Hu Lei frowned and said, "Oh, after Xiao Ke was eliminated, I think I am the most dangerous. The rankings in the first two games were low enough. If there was another great singer this time, I think I should be eliminated in the next knockout round."
Zhang Chonghua quickly comforted: "It's okay, Teacher Hu, and I, I have fewer votes in the first two games than you."
"Teacher Zhang, you are too modest. With your skills, you will burst out casually and you will press me to the ground to rub it?" Hu Lei said with a smile.
Everyone was chatting, and Cheng Tao, the director of the program team, suddenly came in from outside. His appearance surprised everyone, because generally before the program was recorded, the director rarely went directly to the singer's home in the backstage.
So when Cheng Tao appeared, everyone thought he had something to announce.
This is indeed the case.
After Cheng Tao came over, he smiled at everyone, and then sent all the cameramen beside him to leave.
It is obvious that he not only wants to talk about things, but also has to talk about something more private.
The curiosity of several starter singers was all aroused, and they couldn't help but sit down and look at Cheng Tao curiously.
"Teacher Cheng Tao, what are you doing to be so mysterious? I'm starting to be nervous..." Hu Lei said with a slut.
"Yes, Director, what medicine do you sell in this gourd?" Yu Ying also asked curiously.
Cheng Tao smiled awkwardly and whispered: "That's right, because Xiao Ke was eliminated by us in the last game, today there will be a new singer - the fill-up singer - to replace Xiao Ke in the next competition. Do you all know this rule?"
"Of course I know."
"Know."
"knew."
The singers talked tactfully.
"That's good..." Cheng Tao nodded, and then said, "The fill-up singer who came to participate in the competition today is a newcomer. At present, he is not very famous in the circle. I have a heartless invitation here, hoping that all seniors can take care of this newcomer and make the first game in his life not too ugly..."
After saying this, Cheng Tao seemed a little embarrassed and tried hard to scratch the back of his head, which had no hair, to hide his embarrassment.
After hearing this, Chen Zhe and the others were indeed a little surprised.
Isn’t it equivalent to openly giving this singer a backdoor?
Take care of this newcomer and don’t make the first game in his life ugly. Doesn’t this sentence mean that everyone can let this fill-up singer let him go?
Shu Qian, who is more upright, immediately asked: "Teacher Cheng Tao, what do you mean is to make our performance worse in this game, or just let us go?"
Yu Ying couldn't bear it anymore and frowned and said, "Didn't this say that our variety show is the fairest and most authoritative competition stage in China? Now that we are here again, Mr. Cheng Tao, isn't this suitable?"
Facing the questioning of the two queens, Cheng Tao also looked helpless.
He smiled bitterly and said, "I really have no choice but to speak to everyone. Let me tell you the truth. This new filler singer is named Wang Xiaoqin. He is our director's nephew..."
When everyone heard this, they suddenly realized.
No wonder the director of "We Are Singers" was invited to intervene in person. It turned out that the director's nephew was coming to participate in the competition.
Yu Ying sneered: "I said that a fledgling boy can actually come to the stage of "Singer" to be a replacement singer. It turns out that he is the nephew of the director."
Hu Lei smiled and said, "Haha, since there is this relationship, then don't make things difficult for Teacher Cheng Tao, right?"
After hearing this, Cheng Tao nodded and thanked: "Thank you Teacher Hu, thank you all teachers... You also know that our country is a society of relationships, and all walks of life are bound to rely on relationships to do things. I held this "We Are Singers", and the stage has always provided support, and I need funds and equipment, let alone advertising resources...
Now the director's nephew just wants to debut as a singer, so he wants to make a fortune by using our variety show. I can't help but give face, right? We are not such an ignorant person..."
Then he persuaded with great sincerity:
"I also know that it is a bit inappropriate for all teachers to let them go. After all, you are all well-known figures, but just such a competition will not affect the final ranking of several teachers. Just be a good idea to support a junior. Is it okay?
I will not ask all teachers to make mistakes, car accidents, forget lyrics and other things to make money. As long as you don’t choose some that are too competitive, you will definitely be able to win the top three big songs, even if you help me this time.”
After listening to it, several starter singers looked at each other and couldn't make up their minds for a moment.
Do you want to agree? What everyone is pursuing fair competition when participating in "We Are Singers". If the show itself loses its fairness, then what else do you do?
But if you don’t agree, it means not giving Cheng Tao face. Not only does it mean not giving Cheng Tao face, it also means directly offending Master.
Even the singers, even the queen of the world, rely on cooperation with major TV stations and major variety show teams to maintain their popularity and careers. If they directly offend Director, the road ahead may not be easy.
Seeing that this matter was still stalemate, Zhang Chonghua, the most experienced person, was still very good at being a human being, and said with a smile: "Teacher Cheng Tao, you see such a big thing, should we discuss it privately? The five of us make our own ideas and then communicate with you?"
Cheng Tao nodded quickly and said, "What Teacher Zhang said is, Teacher Zhang said, then I will go outside to smoke a cigarette first and come back later."
"Okay." Zhang Chonghua nodded with a smile.
Cheng Tao turned around and left the background.
After Cheng Tao left, Shu Qian was the first to explode.
"Cheng Tao's doing this is too inauthentic, right? How could we let go of the water on purpose in order to promote the director's nephew? I first fell in love with the stage of "We Are Singers" because of its fairness. Now that such a thing happens, it's really disgusting..."
Yu Ying smiled helplessly and said, "Shu Qian, you are still too young. After you have been in the industry for a long time, you should understand, there is no fairness in this industry?
Previous talent shows, song competitions... Which one has no secret operation? Which one has no relationship with the account? Which program team has not modified the number of votes?
Cheng Tao just told us not to sing big songs to pursue rankings, and to sing songs that are not as competitive as possible to pave the way for the younger generation... I don't think it's that serious."
At this time, Hu Lei nodded and said, "I think Yu Ying is right. After all, we have cooperated with Cheng Tao well, and we have to cooperate with S City TV in the future. There is no need to offend the director because of this little thing...
Shu Qian, you have just been promoted to heaven. Could it be that you want to offend the director of S City TV after you have just been promoted to heaven?”
"This..." Shu Qian shook her head quickly and said, "I don't want to."
S City TV plays an important role in the domestic entertainment industry and offends the senior executives here, so the careers of artists are basically equivalent to half of them.
Shu Qian knew that it was difficult for her to die, so she didn't dare to commit suicide easily.
Hu Lei smiled and said, "That's right. Since Cheng Tao has asked, we will do it according to other people's requirements. Isn't it just not to sing big songs? Let's sing some niche, unpopular, and slim... It also treats it as giving Cheng Tao and the director's face, and even more as giving us a vacation and a rest."
After hearing this, Shu Qian nodded slightly.
At this time, Zhang Chonghua smiled and said, "Teacher Hu is right. There is no need to regard this matter as a big problem. In fact, it is just not singing big songs. How to perform or how to perform? You can't deliberately sing the performance into a car accident scene in order to pave the way for this junior, right?"
Speaking of this, Zhang Chonghua suddenly realized that Chen Zhe had not spoken. She turned to look at Chen Zhe and asked, "Xiao Chen, what do you think?"
In fact, when Cheng Tao made the request, Chen Zhe was disgusted with this matter.
What do we say that our country has always been related to society? What do we say that seniors should take care of juniors and support them?
On the competitive stage, fairness is fairness, and the shady curtain is the shady curtain.
Cheng Tao’s request now is obviously going to play with the shady scenes.
But Chen Zhe cannot stand up and oppose Cheng Tao. He does not have the ability yet. If he openly challenged Cheng Tao and Director, then the final outcome is likely to be that Chen Zhe was removed from the program team and the dark side still exists.
But this does not mean that Chen Zhe has to join forces and bow to the dark side.
Since the nephew of this director wants to make his mark in his first performance, I just want to be so cruel that I can't raise my head!
First let you taste the beating of society before you can take root and sprout!
Thinking of this, Chen Zhe sneered at the corner of his mouth and said lightly: "Don't sing big songs? Sing some niche, unpopular, and high-sounding songs? OK...
But even if I sing these unpopular songs, I'm afraid that the headmaster's nephew will still have to live in my shadow."
