Chapter 234 New Song Recording
As if thinking the question was too straightforward, Suning sent another message:
"Xiao Bai, what's going on between you and Xiao Feng? Why are there rumors online that you and Yehua Entertainment have terminated your contract?"
Bai Xingjian didn't find this new question strange, and replied to all the questions Suning wanted to know in one breath:
"I'm going to sing a traditional Chinese song next week. As for the termination of the contract, it's actually nothing. I'm just going to sign a new contract with Yehua Entertainment."
The content is very concise. Although it does not specify in detail what songs he and Feng Shiqi will sing next week, "ancient style songs" can already explain a lot. Birds and fish basically have nothing to do with this theme.
The two exchanged a few more pleasantries on WeChat before ending the chat.
Not long after, Bai Xingjian and his group drove to the restaurant that Chen Shuyi had booked in advance. Both groups had not had dinner yet.
At the dinner table, everyone was naturally chatting non-stop, and Bai Xingjian also felt the enthusiasm of Shu Yaqian, Song Yuhan and other five girls.
"For the release of "Nobody" and the filming of the related MV, Yehua Entertainment did not grant us Xinghe Girls any budget..."
At this time, Chen Shuyi was speaking. Her voice was not loud, but everyone's eyes were focused on her.
"And now, the reason why we can still sit here and eat and chat is almost entirely because of Bai Xingjian. If it weren't for him, we would all have to pack our bags and prepare to return home..."
Chen Shuyi said a lot, all of which revolved around Bai Xingjian.
In the end, it was almost as if Bai Xingjian was described as the savior of the Xinghe Girl, which was a bit exaggerated.
"I am just adding icing on the cake. It can't be considered as timely assistance." Bai Xingjian waved his hand and grinned.
"Why isn't it considered a timely help?"
Chen Shuyi asked back, "This time when the girls released "Nobody", Yehua Entertainment didn't approve a dime, and you provided all the funds. Isn't this a timely help?"
"The main reason is that releasing the song 'Nobody' has some of my own meaning. It can't be said to be a pure help."
Under the gaze of many girls, Bai Xingjian began to speak.
This matter is quite strange. At the beginning, it was obviously Chen Shuyi who asked Bai Xingjian to sing a song. She planned to release a new song to attract fans after Galaxy Girls encountered the "water ball throwing" incident in Corea.
Then Bai Xingjian sent the song over, and Chen Shuyi had almost finished the plan. However, because of Li Li's fuss, Yehua Entertainment stopped approving the budget for Xinghe Girls.
? ? ? ? ?
Bai Xingjian and Chen Shuyi were both filled with question marks after receiving the news.
In order to prevent everyone's efforts during this period from going to waste and their expectations from being dashed, Bai Xingjian decided to take over the task of releasing the song "Nobody" by Xinghe Girls and handle it himself.
He did the same thing, setting up a studio and transferring the relevant contracts of Galaxy Girl to his studio.
This gives us a legitimate reason to help Xinghe Girls release new songs.
So far, the process is going very smoothly.
Bai Xingjian had some guesses in his mind. Perhaps the senior executives of Yehua Entertainment also wanted to see what he was up to?
"We are all in the same boat now, so for our future happiness, the next few days will depend on everyone's performance!"
Bai Xingjian spoke to Shu Yaqian, Song Yuhan, Tang Tang and other five girls.
Upon hearing this, Chen Shuyi, Zheng Wei and Feng Shiqi were all a little overwhelmed.
A grasshopper on a boat?
It’s quite vivid now!
And Shu Yaqian, Song Yuhan and other girls also responded:
"Don't worry, Brother Xing Jian! We will definitely work hard and live up to everyone's expectations!"
"That's right! You guys have made so much effort to come to Coria to accompany us, we will definitely give 100% of our energy!"
"..."
"I want to say one thing. Since we, the Xinghe girls, have joined Brother Xingjian's studio, do we have to call Brother Xingjian the boss?"
Hearing this question, Chen Shuyi raised her head, looked at Bai Xingjian, smiled, and said:
"That's true. Xiaobai is now Boss Bai, and we all work under him~"
As soon as these words came out, Bai Xingjian was overwhelmed by all kinds of "Boss Bai".
Even Feng Shiqi, Zheng Wei and Mei Jie did not let him go.
……
The next morning.
9 month 29 day.
Early in the morning, before eight o'clock, Bai Xingjian and his group began their action.
Recording songs, selecting costumes and props, memorizing scripts, scouting locations, etc.
Almost no one in Fenghuang Yufei's team and Xinghe Girl's team could stop and they were all working non-stop.
After such a tiring day, when night came, they all gathered together for dinner and reported their respective progress.
At the dinner table, everyone seemed to be in a rather depressed state of mind, but from their words, one could still feel the excitement in their hearts.
"We recorded the song so quickly today. It only took three takes and it passed! This would have been unthinkable in the past!"
Song Yuhan spoke with great emotion.
Tang Tang nodded in agreement: "That's right! Today's efficiency is incredibly high!"
Shu Yaqian glanced at Bai Xingjian who was feasting on his meal and said with a smile, "Maybe it's because of Brother Xingjian's supervision, we are all in full swing."
Suddenly being called out, Bai Xingjian, who was concentrating on eating, raised his head and smiled: "This is all due to your repeated practice before. It has little to do with whether I supervise you or not."
This morning, Bai Xingjian and Feng Shiqi accompanied the five girls from Galaxy Girls to record some songs. After that, he started running back and forth between various venues and was very tired.
"The shooting of the MV will officially begin tomorrow. Are you ready?" Bai Xingjian asked in a serious voice after taking a sip of his drink.
Today he has selected the costumes, props, venue, photography team and everything else, and is just waiting to record the MV.
"I'm definitely ready!"
"That's right. I've memorized the script by heart!" "Brother Xingjian, please believe in our business capabilities, okay?"
The girls responded one after another.
After hearing their answers, Chen Shuyi smiled with satisfaction. She said with a smile:
"Everyone said such nice things. I hope your performance tomorrow can be as good as what you said tonight!"
"Don't worry, Sister Chen, we know what's going on!"
"That's right! I will never waste Brother Xing Jian's time and money!"
"We'll try to finish filming the MV in two days!"
The girls of Galaxy Girls spoke with great confidence.
Bai Xingjian was a little amused by this. He said, "We don't have to rush the deadline. We have enough time. Just relax and shoot as much as possible."
This time, not only the Xinghe Girls participated in the shooting of the MV of "Nobody", but also their agent Chen Shuyi, as well as Bai Xingjian, Feng Shiqi, Zheng Wei and Mei Jie, etc.
"Brother Xingjian, when do you and Sister Shiqi plan to return to China?" Tang Tang asked.
"It depends on the progress of our MV shooting. If it's fast, we'll return on the 2nd. If it's slow, we'll return on the 3rd."
Bai Xingjian glanced at Feng Shiqi.
The reason why he wanted to return home as early as possible was because he and Feng Shiqi were going to attend Gu Zetao's concert.
This guy's concert is on the night of the 3rd. If he returns on the 2nd, he can coordinate various schedules. If it is on the 3rd, it will be a little inconvenient.
Bai Xingjian spoke out what he was thinking without reservation, which left Tang Tang and the other girls stunned.
"Brother Xingjian, Sister Shiqi, are your schedules always so tight?"
"After finishing his work here, he actually has to attend a concert after returning home. The next day after the concert, he has to participate in the live recording of "The Voice of China 2024". Brother Xingjian and Sister Shiqi, you must make sure to rest!"
"If I had known you guys were so busy, it would have been fine if we took a break from working on our song 'Nobody'!"
Shu Yaqian, Song Yuhan and other girls were talking at the same time.
"It's just that things came together, it's nothing."
Feng Shiqi waved his hands domineeringly, indicating that this was just a small case.
Bai Xingjian smiled, and everyone started eating and chatting again.
……
When Bai Xingjian and his team were engaged in the filming of the MV for "Nobody", some material reports about Galaxy Girls also appeared on Corea's relevant social platforms.
The first thing that appeared was a video clip a few nights ago, in which Shu Yaqian was suspected to have lost her temper in public at a noodle restaurant in Seoul because the queue for food was too long.
After the relevant tweets and videos were released, they aroused heated discussions among many Corea netizens.
[An eyewitness told me that the girl slammed the table so hard that I almost choked!]
[So what? Why did Shu Yaqian slam the table? Chunchun was just because the queue for food was too long? That shouldn’t be the case, right?]
[How could it be so? I think she was just too hungry and couldn’t control her temper. After all, young people nowadays have bad tempers.]
[Is it okay to be extremely hungry? The quality of Chinese people is really poor!]
[Go back to where you came from, Corea really doesn’t welcome you]
[I just want to say that Shu Yaqian got angry and slammed the table because there were many people in the store who insulted the group Fenghuang Yufei. Shu Yaqian is from Xinghe Girls. What is the relationship between Xinghe Girls and Fenghuang Yufei? I don’t need to tell you much, right?]
Some people followed the trend and argued, some people swore mindlessly, and some people patiently explained.
In addition to this report about Shu Yaqian alone, not long after, some pictures of Xinghe Girl picking up people at the airport were leaked.
However, these pictures did not cause any discussion in Corea, but they caused heated discussions among many netizens on Weibo in China.
[The successor to Galaxy Girl is Phoenix Flying, right? The IPs of Bai Xingjian and Feng Shiqi have both become Corea]
[Need I say this? Didn’t Bai Xingjian explain in his fan group that he and Feng Shiqi went to Coria?]
[So why did they go to Coria? It can't be just to meet the Star Girl, right?]
[Who knows? Recently, the show "Singing 2024" has been making a lot of noise in Coria. Fenghuang Yufei probably went there to meet the Galaxy Girls and comfort them for the incidents they had encountered before.]
[Just to comfort you? Yehua Entertainment must be very wealthy.]
The news about Bai Xingjian and his group in Coria was strictly blocked, and almost no information was leaked.
As for the controversies on Weibo about Fenghuang Yufei, they were refuted by the message sent by Bai Xingjian to the Weibo fan group, and the topic of Fenghuang Yufei on Weibo gradually died down.
And so, the time came to Thursday, October 10rd.
At nine o'clock in the morning Beijing time, Bai Xingjian and Feng Shiqi had just landed at the Capital International Airport when they were picked up by Zheng Wei and taken directly to the National Indoor Stadium.
In addition to being busy with the filming of the "Nobody" MV these days, Bai Xingjian has also been communicating with Gu Zetao, such as what songs to sing at his concert and what topics to discuss with the audience.
Although time was tight, because they had planned in advance, when Bai Xingjian and Feng Shiqi arrived at the gymnasium, they only had to rehearse step by step according to the schedule, and basically there were no mistakes.
At the edge of the stage, Bai Xingjian took a sip of water from his cup, looked at the densely packed seats below the stage and in the distance, and asked:
“How many spectators can this venue accommodate?”
Feng Shiqi stood beside Bai Xingjian, looking at the chairs in the distance, a smile inadvertently appearing on the corner of his mouth.
Such a scene made Gu Zetao unconsciously look at it a few more times before moving his eyes away and answering Bai Xingjian's question:
"This stadium can accommodate up to 23000 spectators, but for convenience, I only sold tickets for 20000 people for this concert."
"Are there so many people?"
Hearing these numbers, Bai Xingjian looked surprised.
Gu Zetao glanced at Feng Shiqi again, and asked Bai Xingjian with a smile, "Why don't you and Feng Shiqi hold a concert to try? Although you have been in the industry for a very short time, your music library is more than enough, right?"
Bai Xingjian did not hide anything about this question and said, "It's already in the plan. I came to attend your concert this time just to get used to it in advance."
"Okay, so you're treating me like a guinea pig!"
Gu Zetao patted Bai Xingjian on the shoulder, and the two looked like old friends.
Bai Xingjian and Feng Shiqi attended Gu Zetao's concert as special guests this time. In addition, Gu Zetao only invited them two guests, so Bai Xingjian and Feng Shiqi sang quite a lot of songs tonight.
Therefore, in addition to the rehearsal in the morning, we will continue rehearsals in the afternoon.
But in this case, Bai Xingjian and Feng Shiqi will have no time to rehearse for the stage of "The Voice of China 2024", even though tomorrow night is the day for the new live broadcast of "The Voice of China 2024".
Zheng Wei also noticed this. She came to the edge of the stage and asked Bai Xingjian and Feng Shiqi with a smile:
"How about I postpone your rehearsal for "The Voice of China 2024"? We can't fly back for rehearsal and then fly back again for the concert, right?"
"Just push it, it's just a rehearsal, it's not a big problem."
Bai Xingjian waved his hand and said that he had already memorized the songs after singing them in so many episodes of "The Voice of China 2024". Rehearsals were just icing on the cake.
