Chapter 125 The storm is coming
At the same time, Beijing.

In a conference room of Universal Pictures, the creative team of the martial arts film "Jiang Hu Feng Yun" is holding a meeting.

"I have said almost everything that needs to be said. There is still one question left."

Director Dai Guanhai took a sip of tea and said slowly, "Shanghai Jianghu Fengyun will be released soon, how come the theme song hasn't been finalized yet? What's the situation with Yehua Entertainment?"

"Director, I was just about to tell you about this."

The producer opened his computer and smacked his lips and said, "It seems that after Xu Qingfeng left, the impact on Yehua was indeed quite large. Didn't we return all their nine theme songs before? As a result, another week passed and they only sent a new song this morning. And there was only one. It seems that they can't take our order."

Dai Guanhai narrowed his eyes and said, "My requirements are indeed a bit high, but they don't have to be so negative, right? Just one song? Do you really not want the eight million?"

"Isn't there anything we can do about it?"

The producer smiled and shook his head: "Except for Xu Qingfeng, there are not many composers in Yehua Entertainment who are good at ancient style music. We still have plenty of time, so we can transfer the order to Shengchuan Entertainment in time."

"Let's wait until the deadline is over."

After all, they have been partners for so many years, and Dai Guanhai didn't want to make things too awkward with Yehua Entertainment: "Play the song they sent today. If it doesn't work, we can contact them in advance."

"it is good."

The producer nodded and opened his email: "The song is called "A Laugh in the Ocean", which is a good name, but I don't know what the content is like."

Dai Guanhai nodded. The name sounded good and had a lot of artistic conception.

The other people present also nodded. At least the song title had that flavor.

The producer only glanced at the song title this morning but did not listen to it, so when he connected the speakers in the conference room and clicked play, it was the first time he heard the song "A Laugh in the Ocean".

"Play the lyrics." Dai Guanhai raised his mouth.

"OK."

The producer shared the computer screen on the big screen in the conference room, and at the same time, music started playing.

As soon as the melodious and moving sound of the guqin appeared, everyone present felt a hint of the martial arts world.

The sound of the flute that slowly sounded after the piano intensified this feeling.

As the flute sounded, the rhythm of the music quietly quickened, and the piano and flute ensemble had ups and downs, like a microcosm of all the grievances and disputes in the world.

Everyone present looked at each other, their eyes seemed to be saying:

“The Jianghu mood of this song is great!”

Dai Guanhai tapped the conference table slowly with his fingers.

This piano and this flute give him the feeling he wants.

The piano and flute ensemble lasted for 1 minute and 28 seconds. During this time, the expressions on everyone's faces in the conference room gradually changed from calm to surprise.

At this moment, a roaring voice suddenly sounded:
"The Smile of the Sea"

"The surging tide on both sides of the strait"

"Floating and sinking with the waves, remembering today"

Just after hearing these three sentences, Dai Guanhai had already decided in his heart that he wanted the song "A Laugh in the Ocean".

Although he hasn't finished listening to it yet, he is absolutely sure that this song will be the right theme song for "Jiang Hu Feng Yun"!
These powerful lyrics also made the rest of the people's eyes light up.

The producer had the biggest reaction, his eyes were wide open.

What's happening here?
In less than seven days, the song sent by Yehua Entertainment has undergone earth-shaking changes?
There is a demon behind this... Can someone give me some advice?
Before he could wonder, the sound of a bass drum suddenly rang out, and the mood of the song gradually became more majestic.

"The Heaven Smiles"

"The world is full of tides"

"God knows who will win and who will lose"

"Jiang Shan Xiao"

"Yanyuyuan"

"How much do we know about the mundane world after the waves have washed it away?"

"The Breeze Smiles"

"It caused loneliness"

……

The song was quickly finished, but the conference room was silent. Everyone was still immersed in the artistic conception of the song "A Laugh in the Ocean" and could not come back to their senses for a long time.

It was not until a while later that Dai Guanhai said, "Do it again."

Hearing this, the corners of everyone's mouth almost curled up, and they wanted to listen again.

"Okay." The producer nodded and started playing it again.

The second time he listened to it, he finished it very quickly. This time, when the singing stopped, Dai Guanhai said firmly, "We want this song! Who agrees? Who disagrees?"

"I agree, I agree!"

"I love this Jianghu style so much!"

“A good movie deserves a good song, and this song “A Laugh in the Ocean” deserves it!”

Everyone nodded.

The producer who holds important decision-making power also feels the same way, "I can't think of a song more suitable than this one, and I don't think even Xu Qingfeng would be able to do it."

Speaking of Xu Qingfeng, Dai Guanhai suddenly remembered that they didn't know who wrote the poem "A Laugh in the Sea", so he asked.

The producer glanced at the computer and suddenly felt that the name looked familiar. He said, "Bai Xingjian."

"Bai Xingjian? The one with Fenghuang Yufei?"

"That's right! It's him!"

"Oh my god, this song 'A Laugh in the Ocean' was actually written by him?"

“That’s amazing.”

Everyone sighed with emotion.

"He?"

Dai Guanhai smiled knowingly, quite surprised, "What a coincidence! I'm still listening to the song "Above the Moon"."

……

In the studio, members of the Thorn Boys Group were giving farewell speeches on the stage.

Then as they were talking, a little pearl fell down, which made their fans feel distressed.

"come on! Come on!"

"Come on, Thorn Boys!"

"He He, don't cry. Even though you've been eliminated, we're still here with you!"

"I look forward to your comeback and revenge!"

"Don't be discouraged, young man!"

"You really made me laugh. How can you cry over this?"

"Sure enough, domestic entertainment is about to end!"

"Don't worry, as long as Yoyo is here, the Chinese music scene is still safe."

After the Thorn Boys, Roadblock Drift and Black Tiger Band gave their farewell speeches one after another.

Then, amidst the applause and cheers from the audience, as well as countless farewell comments in the live broadcast room, the three groups left the stage sadly.

The legend band made it to the top five and became the last group to advance to the top five.

Tutor's seat.

Looking at the laughing Fenghuang Yufei, Xinghe Girls and Legend Band, Xu Wenzhou felt like he was having a myocardial infarction.

He was really wiped out.

Bai Xingjian, this is all your fault!
Xu Wenzhou glanced at Bai Xingjian.

And someone who was chatting and laughing suddenly felt a chill down his spine.

The air conditioning in this studio is really cool.

Qiao Xi suppressed his laughter and whispered to Su Ning, "Does Uncle Xu not have to record the next few episodes? No one on his team can take a holiday early!"

Suning couldn't help laughing, but he didn't laugh out loud.

But they all have radios on them, so this part will definitely be included in the edited version.

Gu Zetao glanced at GoldenCold, then looked next door.

Although there is only one child now, it is better than having nothing.

Lin Qingying is now the happiest mentor, and the remaining three groups have all advanced to the top five.

This result.

Who else?
Although this result has little to do with her, this is her team after all.

……

"Thank you everyone! I would like to congratulate you all for becoming the top five in the country for "New Era of Heavenly Group"! They are Fenghuang Yufei, Xinghe Girl, and Legend from Lin Qingying's team, GoldenCold from Gu Zetao's team, and September Morning from the Bird and Fish team!"

On the stage, Sanshui faced the top five seats and began to take control.

Applause and cheers suddenly rang out, and the camera swept across the contestants one by one, finally giving Xu Wenzhou a brief close-up.

"Hahaha, Teacher Xu Wenzhou has become a 'lonely man' now."

"The production team is so mean! They even gave Director Xu a close-up."

“It’s really funny.”

There was a burst of laughter at the scene. Xu Wenzhou smacked his lips, looking helpless.

What could he do?

Sanshui took the cue card, glanced at Xu Wenzhou, and continued, "Because the mentor team has no team members, we will enter a new stage next."

Amid countless expectant gazes, Sanshui said loudly:
"That is--"

"The New Era of Heavenly Group" resurrection match!"

"The full video of the resurrection match combination breakthrough will be available on the VIP channel at 6:21 on June 20, which is next Friday. You can watch it on demand!"

As soon as the words fell, the whole audience was in an uproar, and the live broadcast room exploded again.

"What? Resurrection match!!!"

"Oh my god, this is boring."

"Could it be that I can still see the Lonely Mountain and the Distant Sea?"

"That's wonderful, wonderful!"

"Wait for our Thorn Boys Group to come back for revenge!" "Come back for revenge? Let's talk about it after we win the resurrection match. I see you guys have drunk several bottles of champagne."

"Black Tiger Band, go ahead! You are more than this!"

The audience was excited, but the contestants were not.

Because the resurrection match is actually not fair to them.

After all, the teams that have advanced to the top five have fought their way through all the obstacles and finally got their spots in the top five. As a result, others now have a second chance and can reach the same position as them without going through so many risks.

No one would feel good about this.

But there is nothing that can be done about it. The contestants cannot violate the rules set by the program team and can only complain quietly.

Sanshui did not announce the competition rules for the next live broadcast. After a few closing remarks, the camera turned directly to the outfield, and the live recording of "New Era of Heavenly Group" officially ended.

When leaving the stage, Lin Qingying came to the top five seats where the contestants were and high-fived each of her team members.

Seeing such a lively scene, Xu Wenzhou couldn't help but feel jealous.

"You guys hid it really well!" Lin Qingying looked at Legend and the other two, then at Bai Xingjian, and said with a smile.

"We asked Brother Xing Jian to keep this secret." Su Liang stepped forward and said, "Otherwise, if everyone's expectations were too high and they failed to advance in the end, wouldn't that be a waste of everyone's expectations?"

"And we didn't expect that Brother Xingjian's song "Yellow" could really lead us out of the siege." Su Liang grinned.

Le Yan and Huang Hai also looked happy.

It was Su Liang who proposed the idea of ​​asking Bai Xingjian for a song to Le Yan and Huang Hai.

His idea was very simple. Since they were all going to leave the show anyway and they were not short of money, he might as well ask Brother Xing Jian for a song and sing it at the end of the show to make more viewers remember the Legend band.

Su Liang just wanted to give it a try, but he didn't expect that he actually got a song, and they haven't been eliminated yet, and they advanced to the top five with this song.

This is simply a big surprise!

Bai Xingjian smiled and said, "I just happened to have a song that suits them. Instead of keeping the song, I decided to let Legend sing it for everyone. I didn't expect the effect to be so good. Everyone likes it very much."

"There just happened to be a song again."

Lin Qingying raised her eyebrows and said for the first time: "In the future, if there are any songs suitable for me to sing, please let me sing them for everyone to hear. My voice is not rusty yet."

As soon as these words were spoken, the girls began to make a noise.

"Sister Lin! Are you planning on releasing an album or a song?"

"Brother Xingjian, Sister Lin is asking you for a song!"

"Are there any songs? Are there any songs?"

Amidst the laughter and joy, Feng Shiqi also looked at Bai Xingjian with anticipation.

This girl has been a fan of Lin Qingying for ten years.

However, Bai Xingjian shook his head and tentatively replied: "Not yet, how about we wait and see?"

"It's a deal, let's wait and see. I'm waiting for your song!"

Lin Qingying said nonchalantly, it seemed that she really wanted Bai Xingjian's song.

They were chatting happily together, and the contestants waiting to leave couldn't help but look at them in surprise.

"Oh my god, even Queen Lin went to Bai Xingjian to ask for a song."

"Ah! This show has made me start to doubt my life. We are both men, so why is there such a big gap between me and Bai Xingjian?"

"Does this kid have some kind of system? The kind that releases a song a day?"

"It's so funny, it's a system, I think you've read too many novels."

"Oh, but I have to admit that musicians with creative abilities are so popular! I really regret not studying music well before."

"What you said is true. If studying music well is useful, I might also be a Bai Xingjian."

Several members of the September Morning group were whispering, their eyes occasionally drifting over Bai Xingjian.

Hearing these words, Wang Yaqi couldn't help but sigh in her heart.

If Bai Xingjian still stayed in GoldenCold, what would the situation be like now?
It's a pity no.

……

Not long after the live broadcast of "New Era of Heavenly Group" ended, related topics became hot searches.

Even the top ten hot searches on Weibo that night were almost all about the show "New Era of Heavenly Group", and many of the topics were about Bai Xingjian.

However, the hottest topic at the moment is still the Thorn Boys Group.

[The Thorn Boys Group was eliminated unexpectedly and stopped in the quarterfinals (explosive)]

The entry successfully topped the Weibo hot search list.

Before the broadcast of "New Era of Heavenly Groups", Thorn Boys was the most recognized favorite to win the championship. There were even rumors that Thorn Boys was the predetermined champion and this program was specially created for them.

But now...

The favorite to win the championship was eliminated in the quarterfinals?

What is this scenario?
Countless netizens and fans of Thorn Boys simply couldn't believe the result.

Their feelings are probably the same as those of the Bucks fans in the NBA last year. The top-ranked home team was defeated by the eighth-ranked Heat in a black-eight miracle, a feat that has not happened in the past decade.

"The production team must have done this on purpose! They invited these music producers just to eliminate the Thorn Boys Band."

"This show is just trying to attract attention by doing whatever it can. Is it really okay to exploit our group in this way?"

"Boycott the show! Boycott Mango TV! Boycott Spark! Boycott Jialan organic milk!"

"You still have the nerve to organize a revival match? Do you think our Thorn Youth Group will participate?"

"We absolutely won't participate! We would rather go home than continue to be bullied on this rubbish show!"

The fanatical fans of Thorn Boys directly occupied the comment section.

There were also some more sensible netizens who stood up to comment, but they were all pushed to the back row.

"I am dying of laughter. You fans should just stay in the Thorn Boys' Super Topic and don't come out and embarrass yourself."

"I doubt whether these comments were made by normal people."

"Swearing, huh? I took a screenshot! Wait for the lawyer's letter to ban the account and apologize!"

"666."

The comments section is mostly one-sided, and the power of fans is terrifying.

[The reason why the Thorn Boys Group was eliminated (exploded)]

The term ranked second on Weibo's hot search list.

Some netizens listed in detail how the Thorn Boys lost to Fenghuang Yufei in the first round of 1v1, lost to Legend Band in the second round of 1v3, and were eliminated.

The logic is clear, the writing is concise, and it provides scientific knowledge to everyone in a straightforward manner.

Even viewers who did not watch the live broadcast had a clear understanding of this matter after reading this Weibo post.

"Hahahaha, it turns out the culprit is Bai Xingjian!"

"This guy is really awesome! He realized that it would be difficult to defeat the Thorns Boys with just one song "Under the Sea", so he sang it twice, first hyping up the popularity on the Internet, and then came up with a one-hit kill! Absolute!"

"That shouldn't be the case. If Bai Xingjian really thinks so, then he is really amazing."

"Who cares if he thinks so or not? Anyway, I am very happy to see the Thorn Boys Group eliminated."

"I can only say that the Thorn Boys were really unlucky. There was no online voting in the second round, and the 51 music producers who came were particularly concerned about the musicality of the songs. It was already raining on the roof, and then Legend Band also played Bai Xingjian's "Yellow", which completely ruined the Thorn Boys' hope of advancing to the top five."

"After watching the live broadcast, it actually didn't matter if legend sang Bai Xingjian's "Yellow" or not. It didn't have much impact on the Thorn Boys Band. After all, the Black Tiger Band is very strong. Legend sang Bai Xingjian's "Yellow", which actually hurt the Black Tiger Band. If legend didn't sing, the group that advanced to the top five would definitely be the Black Tiger Band."

"Indeed, as a Black Tiger fan, I just want to find Bai Xingjian for a WWE match."

“I have to say the song Yellow is pretty nice, but I’m really pissed off at Bai Xingjian.”

"+1."

Many netizens commented on this Weibo post, including many fans of the Black Tiger band.

Bai Xingjian's Weibo was inevitably impacted by such great popularity.

The first to launch the attack were naturally the fans of Thorn Boys, who blamed Bai Xingjian for the elimination of Thorn Boys.

However, Bai Xingjian’s fans were not to be outdone and started to fight back directly.

There was a lot of noise on the internet, but Bai Xingjian knew nothing about it.

He was currently sitting at the dining table in the hotel room, chatting and eating heartily.

"Xing Jian, you have to think carefully about Queen Lin's invitation to sing."

Zheng Wei took a sip of his drink and said, "It doesn't matter if it takes a little longer. The most important thing is to ensure the quality."

Zheng Wei already knew most of what happened in the studio today.

"I understand that. After all, she is a serious diva. If something goes wrong, we might all be caught up in the storm of public opinion."

Bai Xingjian was naturally sensible. That's why he said "let's wait and see" before.

"I feel relieved when you say that." Zheng Wei nodded with relief, turned to Feng Shiqi and asked, "What about Shiqi? Do you have any plans to release your song "Virtual"? The company has approved resources for us again."

At this point, Zheng Wei smiled and added: "They seem to be eager for you two to release songs, but you don't have to worry about that at all. Just follow your own pace."

Feng Shiqi nodded: "I'll post it later. I feel very busy now."

"Yes, there are some. It seems that 'The New Era of Heavenly Group' is about to enter its final stage. I'm afraid it won't be easy for you guys in the future."

Zheng Wei smiled and glanced at the two of them. Suddenly, he thought of something and said, "Oh, by the way, Universal Pictures sent a message. They decided to use the song "A Laugh in the Sea" as the theme song for "Jiang Hu Feng Yun". Some contracts are still going through the process, but we have completed the eight million order!"

Zheng Wei's tone was quite excited, and his eyes were shining as he looked at Bai Xingjian.

Eight million orders!
It was done in less than a week!

What kind of monster is Xiaobai?
"Is it done?" Mei Jie opened her mouth slightly and asked in disbelief, "How much money can Brother Xing Jian make from this song "A Laugh in the Sea"? "

Zheng Wei smiled slightly: "If it's a 50-50 split, it's 4 million before tax."

Mei Jie looked at Bai Xingjian, stunned: "Four million?"

Seeing her surprised, Zheng Wei touched her head and said calmly, "Four million is not a lot. Xing Jian has already earned more than four million through the song "In the Name of the Father", and the song is still making a lot of money."

Mei Jie was completely stunned.

Her monthly internship salary is only 4,000 yuan...

Ah!
The gap between people is indeed greater than the gap between people and dogs!
"Work hard, Xiao Jie~" Zheng Wei touched her head again.

Mei Jie nodded solemnly, looked at Bai Xingjian and Feng Shiqi and said, "I will definitely work hard! Brother Xingjian and Sister Shiqi, please don't fire me!"

After hearing these words, Bai Xingjian and Feng Shiqi burst into laughter.

However, just when they were having a great conversation.

On Weibo, a post with negative news about Bai Xingjian gradually spread.
