Chapter 247 Be yourself

"I heard that Director Tang came to the company to look for Ji Qiu today?"

In an office of Yehua Entertainment, Li Li asked her assistant.

"That's right. Director Tang stayed in Ji Qiu's office for half an hour before leaving. It was probably because of the incident between Fenghuang Yufei and Xinghe Girl."

The assistant nodded and told some accurate information and his own guesses:

"And the leaders of the board of directors seem to be very dissatisfied with Ji Qiu's self-assertion this time. If the new song released by Xinghe Girls this time does not meet their expectations, not only Ji Qiu, but also Xinghe Girls and Fenghuang Yufei will be implicated."

"so serious?"

Li Li raised her eyebrows and smiled, "Are they going to be in big trouble this time?"

She has been paying attention to the Galaxy Girl recently. After all, the Sky Boy and the Galaxy Girl under her are competitors.

So Li Li naturally knew about the dismal performance of the Galaxy Girls' new song trailer on the Internet, and the comment section was full of curses.

Even the trailer was met with such criticism. I can’t imagine how miserable the scene will be when the new song is officially released.

When she thought about the participation of Bai Xingjian and Feng Shiqi in Xinghe Girl’s new song, Li Li raised her lips even more.

"It's really fate and timing. It's really asking for trouble for Xinghe Girl to release a song at this special time. It might even get Bai Xingjian and Feng Shiqi involved."

Because of a series of events that Park Ji-jae encountered in "The Voice of China 2024", Corea netizens have become hostile towards the Chinese entertainment industry.

Now Galaxy Girls is going to release a new song in Corea. In Li Li's eyes, isn't this asking for trouble?
As if she had thought of something, Li Li asked her assistant again:

"I heard that the new song released by Xinghe Girls was produced by Bai Xingjian himself?"

"Yes."

The assistant nodded and added, "This is actually the reason why the board of directors has such strong opinions this time. According to the original arrangement, Galaxy Girls had no plans to release new songs in Coria this time. However, with Ji Qiu's operation, Galaxy Girls not only have a plan to release new songs, but also have broken away from the control of Yehua Entertainment. All decision-making power has been handed over to Bai Xingjian."

At this point, the assistant made an analogy with a strange look on his face: "It feels like the yellow-haired boy Bai Xingjian rode a ghost fire motorcycle to the downstairs of Yehua Entertainment and kidnapped the little girl Xinghe Girl."

"If there wasn't Tang Tang in the Galaxy Girls, I don't think Yehua Entertainment would have turned a blind eye when Bai Xingjian and the others signed the new contract, and they wouldn't be so relaxed now."

After hearing this, Li Li was also amused. She sneered, "If the new song of Xinghe Girls doesn't produce outstanding results this time, the little yellow-haired Bai Xingjian will probably have his legs broken..."

……

"A-choo... A-choo... A-choo..."

In the practice room, Bai Xingjian, who was practicing singing with Feng Shiqi, suddenly sneezed several times in succession.

"Are you catching a cold? Do you want to rest for a while?" Feng Shiqi gave Bai Xingjian a caring look.

"No, no, it's just a few sneezes."

Bai Xingjian waved his hand, then patted his chest and smiled at Feng Shiqi, "I'm in good health, how could I catch a cold?"

Feng Shiqi rolled her eyes and stopped worrying about anything, and the two of them returned to practicing singing.

The reason why Bai Xingjian and Feng Shiqi started practicing singing on the weekend was not because they only ranked third on "The Voice of China 2024" last night and felt guilty, but because they were making plans for their own concerts.

After some deliberation and discussion last night, Fenghuang Yufei’s concert was officially put on the agenda.

But things didn't turn out the way they expected.

When Bai Xingjian and Feng Shiqi came out of the practice room, they saw Zheng Wei sitting on the sofa with a unhappy look on her face.

"Sister Wei, what are you doing?"

Bai Xingjian asked, and sat down on the sofa with Feng Shiqi.

"Our concert was postponed."

Zheng Wei uttered this in a faint voice, and then began to explain.

The main reason is still related to Galaxy Girls. What the senior management of Yehua Entertainment actually meant is that if the performance of Galaxy Girls’ new song is not good this time, then Fenghuang Yufei’s concert will be put on hold.

This can also be regarded as a warning from Yehua Entertainment to them.

After listening to Zheng Wei's explanation, Feng Shiqi showed an angry expression on his face, as if his kindness had been wasted.

She and A Jian practiced singing here hard so that they could present a better stage to the audience at the concert.

But Yehua Entertainment blocked their concert and prevented them from holding it?
What is this all about?

Bai Xingjian nodded, without any emotional fluctuations.

He had anticipated this, but he didn't expect it to actually happen.

"It's actually nothing. Don't they want to see the performance of Galaxy Girl's song? Then let them see it."

Bai Xingjian has great confidence in the song "Nobody".

Although Feng Shiqi and Zheng Wei didn't know where his confidence came from, they were willing to believe Bai Xingjian.

"By then they will beg us to hold a concert." Bai Xingjian smiled at Feng Shiqi and Zheng Wei.

The cancellation of the concert did not affect the plans of Bai Xingjian and Feng Shiqi. They were still practicing in the practice room according to the plan.

Of course, when they get tired of singing the old songs, they will also sing new songs.

After all, in addition to the concert, they will also participate in the variety show "The Voice 2024".

Time just passed quietly.

Tuesday, May 10th.

The official Weibo account of "The Voice of China 2024", which had closed the comment section for four days, quietly opened the comment section today.

Some people with ulterior motives also discovered this at the first moment, and the news quickly spread.

Countless netizens once again gathered in the comment section of the official Weibo of "The Voice of China 2024", and all kinds of sarcastic remarks were rampant.

[Oh, did the sun rise from the west today? Are you willing to let people comment on it?]
[This is more like that. What’s the point of just covering your mouth when something goes wrong? If you put out a solution, this show can still be saved.]
[So Li Xiao found a solution? Changing the competition system or something?]
[The competition system must be changed! If the competition system is not changed, will the production team still treat us like monkeys?]
Even though so many days have passed, netizens are still in a state of outrage.

Looking at the sudden increase in the number of comments on the relevant Weibo, Xu Hui, the leader of the "Singing 2024" publicity team, couldn't help but wipe the sweat from her forehead.

“Sometimes it’s not a good thing for a show to be too popular.”

She sighed and pasted the pre-edited copy into the editing box of Weibo. After these days of discussion, the program team also came up with a solution to the recent turmoil.

The competition system will definitely be changed, but as to what it will be like, it cannot be announced at the moment.

Everything will have to wait until the apology is made and the netizens’ emotions are calmed down.

At noon, an apology letter was released by the official Weibo account of "Singing 2024".

The nearly one thousand-word article is filled with the program team's sincere apologies and self-reflection.

After reading this article, many netizens felt relieved.

[Not bad, not bad. It is a great honor to admit your mistakes and make improvements. You deserve the popularity of "The Voice of China 2024"]
[Isn’t this attitude better than those who pretend to be dead but still act tough? Thumbs up to the production team]
[The pattern is there, but I hope you guys can have a little more IQ, and stop serving up rubbish competition systems]
[So what? Is there any compensation? I’ve already apologized, so why not give me some benefits? Like a Mango TV membership or something?]
[Dude, just be content. It's already very good that you can apologize. You're still thinking about getting a membership. Are you daydreaming?]
Many netizens expressed their acceptance and understanding of the apology from the "Singing 2024" program team.

Shortly after this apology article was published, all singers participating in the program "The Voice 2024" also received apology messages and related notifications from the program team.

……

On the sofa in the hotel living room.

Feng Shiqi lay on his side, looking at the message sent by the program team in surprise.

"It seems that the production team is really going to change the competition system. They even sent us a message asking us to prepare well."

"But what's with the last sentence? Is it because we didn't attend the rehearsal last time, so he deliberately reminded us?"

Feng Shiqi raised his eyebrows, looking thoughtful.

Bai Xingjian, who was sitting on the other side of the sofa, naturally also received the news. He grinned and said, "That shouldn't be the meaning. I guess the program team is emphasizing that next week's live broadcast is more important, so we should choose songs carefully and practice seriously."

The production crew shouldn't be so bored as to hold onto the fact that they didn't rehearse.

Besides, due to the influence of public opinion this week, the production team probably doesn’t have the energy to do so.

"I hope the production team can come up with some interesting competition systems. This team battle points competition is really boring."

Feng Shiqi pursed her lips and said with a smile.

In addition to the netizens who recently criticized the program team on Weibo, their fans of Fenghuang Yufei also complained about the program team’s recent competition system.

Now that the program team has made changes, it is something that everyone likes to see.

In another hotel not far from the Mango Broadcasting Building.

Kim Hyun-eun also looked at the message on his phone with a thoughtful expression.

She said to Park Ji-jae: "Why don't we hold on for a while longer? The show "The Voice 2024" should be coming to an end soon. Let's just hold on."

During this period of time, Park Ji-jae has been severely criticized by netizens on Weibo.

In addition, he has not achieved outstanding results in the "Singing Voice 2024" program for a long time, as well as his own mental problems, which led to Park Ji-jae's tendency to withdraw from the competition becoming stronger after he ranked last this week.

He felt that he could no longer stay in "The Voice of China 2024".

"How do you know that this show has reached its final stage?" Park Ji-jae asked back.

"I guess."

Kim Hyun-eun expressed some of her thoughts.

Park Ji-jae nodded and felt that what she said made sense.

Kim Hyun-eun patted him on the shoulder and comforted him, "It's a taboo to withdraw from the competition. Just try your best to persevere. It's just some scolding, isn't it? The more the netizens here scold you, the more our netizens in China will feel sorry for you and support you after you return home. If you can still get some good results in "The Voice 2024", it will be even better."

Hearing this, Park Ji-jae sneered, looked at Kim Hyun-eun and said, "But can I still get good results? In the last few episodes, I either lost or ranked last. I don't know how I should perform on the stage of "The Voice 2024"."

"That's indeed a problem." Kim Hyun-eun nodded.

As Park Ji-jae's agent and girlfriend, she naturally noticed this problem, but she couldn't find a solution to it for the time being.

Jin Xianen frowned habitually.

Suddenly, an idea came into her mind.

With her eyes shining, she said to Park Ji-jae, "Why don't we ignore the preferences of the Chinese audience and just be yourself and sing Korean rap to the end!"

In that moment just now, many thoughts flashed through Kim Hyun-eun's mind.

She realized that Park Ji-jae's recent performance in "The Voice of China 2024" was largely due to the fact that Park Ji-jae was too trying to please the Chinese audience, so that the songs he sang contained too much Chinese and Korean mixed together, making them look out of place.

Those involved are often confused, while bystanders can see things more clearly. For a long time, neither she nor Park Ji-jae realized the problem.

But just now, Kim Hyun-eun came to his senses.

At the same time, she also told Park Ji-jae her thoughts.

“It seems to be true!”

Park Ji-jae also had a feeling of sudden enlightenment, as if the fog had cleared and the light had appeared. He said with emotion:
"I was wondering why all the songs I sang sounded weird recently. It turns out that this is the problem. That's right. There are so many foreign singers in "The Voice of China 2024", but I haven't seen them insist on singing in Chinese. The purpose of this program is to show their own characteristics on this stage..."

When Park Ji-jae thought about being able to sing on stage next week without so many worries, he felt much better and the depressed mood in his heart mostly dissipated.

"That's the truth."

Jin Xianen smiled, and seeing that Park Ji Jae seemed to be in a good mood, he asked, "How are those new songs you wrote? Do you want to release a few songs recently to test the waters?"

"That's pretty close."

Park Ji-jae replied, then asked with a smile: "Why did you suddenly bring up the topic of releasing a new song? Is it because my popularity has reached a very good level recently?"

When saying this, Park Ji-jae felt a little proud.

The reason is just as he said. Recently, whether in China or in Corea, Park Ji-jae is one of the most popular Corea artists.

If a new song is released at this time, the effect will be really good.

"Yes and no."

Jin Xianen smiled, and then explained under Park Zhizai's puzzled gaze: "Do you know Galaxy Girls? It's a girl group of Yehua Entertainment. They are currently developing in our country. They will release a new song soon, and it is said that this song is produced by Bai Xingjian..."
