Chapter 280 Arrangements for the next stage

"What are the plans for tonight? Should we go celebrate our double championship?"

In the nanny car, Zheng Wei asked Bai Xingjian and Feng Shiqi with a smile.

Mei Jie on the side was also looking at them excitedly.

Bai Xingjian and Feng Shiqi won the title of King of Singers of "The Voice of China 2024". Zheng Wei and Mei Jie were naturally very happy and excited.

After hearing what Zheng Wei said, Feng Shiqi put down his phone and looked at Bai Xingjian first.

Bai Xingjian looked at the time on his phone. It was almost 0:30 in the morning, so he said:

"It's getting late, how about we celebrate tomorrow?"

After hearing this, Mei Jie felt a little depressed, but Bai Xingjian's next words made her eyes light up again.

"But we can prepare something richer for dinner tonight."

Bai Xingjian smiled, glanced at Feng Shiqi and said, "We have won the championship, so of course we have to eat something good."

"Sister Wei, there is no limit on the budget for dinner. You and Mei Jie can help order."

Bai Xingjian handed the task of ordering food to Zheng Wei and Mei Jie, and then he and Feng Shiqi returned to their previous state.

——Holding the phone to reply to the message.

The two of them won the championship of "The Voice of China 2024", so naturally many people sent messages to congratulate them.

Bai Xingjian and Feng Shiqi were not the type to ignore these messages, so they replied to them one by one.

After all, not many people have added them on WeChat, so it’s no big deal to reply to their messages.

In this way, when the nanny car drove back to the hotel where they were staying, Bai Xingjian and Feng Shiqi had also finished this "favor work".

Zheng Wei and Mei Jie were also very efficient. After returning to the hotel, they didn't have to wait too long before the meals they ordered were delivered.

While they were feasting on the meal at the table, entries related to "The Voice of China 2024" on Weibo also dominated various charts.

[Phoenix Yufei wins the "Singing 2024" championship! (Explosive)]

The entry that ranks first on the hot search list is naturally related to Fenghuang Yufei's victory, and the comment section is simply a carnival scene for Fenghuang Yufei's fans.

[Invincible! Become a god!]
[Congratulations to Fenghuang Yufei for becoming the new generation of singing king! You two are so awesome!]
[Based on the performance of Brother Xing Jian and Sister Shi Qi tonight, if they don’t win the championship, I will definitely say that the production team is behind this!]
[That’s right! A Chinese-Korean duet of “Beautiful Mythology” and an all-English rap song “Love the Street Where You Passed” are simply like gods descending to earth, okay? The two stages of Bai Xingjian and Feng Shiqi tonight are unprecedented in the entire Chinese music scene, and it is not certain that the latter will appear in the future! ]
[Not necessarily. Doesn’t the emergence of Fenghuang Yufei this year show that there are good talents in the Chinese music scene? And everyone said before that Birds and Fish were the end of the male and female duos in our country. Now Fenghuang Yufei has emerged and surpassed them, right? So in the future, there will definitely be a duo that is better than Fenghuang Yufei, and their performance on the final stage of "The Voice of China 2024" will also be surpassed. It's just a matter of time.]
[? ? ? ? ? ]
[Is this a problem that can be solved with time? In the next ten years, or even thirty years, it would be great if the Chinese music scene could produce a music producer as prolific as Bai Xingjian. Do you still hope that there will be a female singer like Feng Shiqi who can cooperate with Bai Xingjian? I can only say that you are dreaming. Dreams can have anything!]
[Thirty years is too little. In the next fifty years, we may not be able to produce a singer like Bai Xingjian in China. This guy simply has no creative bottleneck at all!]
[......]
The second entry on Weibo's hot search list is related to the song that Fenghuang Yufei will sing tonight.

[Did you understand Fenghuang Yufei's new song? 】

[I definitely understand! It’s not like The Voice 2024 doesn’t have subtitles, so what’s the difficulty? Who is this trending search term looking down on?]
[Anyway, when Fenghuang Yufei was singing the song "Beautiful Mythology", I was stunned when it was Feng Shiqi's turn to sing. What the hell is Feng Shiqi singing? It's so gibberish, is it a dialect from some part of our country? Although I don't understand it, it feels strangely familiar.]
[That’s right! Korean is the dialect of our country!]
[Hahaha, this tiny place is not even as big as one of our provinces]
[This is awesome! "Beautiful Myth" and "Love the way your lie" are both great in their own ways! No matter which song it is, I have already added it to my playlist and keep repeating it! Fenghuang Yufei is awesome! ]
[The song "Love the way your lie" is really amazing! If I hadn't been able to see, when Fenghuang Yufei sang this song, I would have thought it was a Grammy-level group from abroad performing on stage!]
[It’s so real! I don’t know how Bai Xingjian and Feng Shiqi did it, they sang this English song without any accents! They sounded like foreigners, so cool!]
[@凤凰于飞-白行简@凤凰于飞-冯诗祈, where did you sign up for the foreign language class? I want to sign up for one too! ]
[Is this a problem that can be solved by taking a class? This is a problem that can only be solved by talent!]
[Talent? Bai Xingjian’s talent is really maxed out!]
Ranked third on Weibo's hot search list are entries related to Bai Xingjian himself.

【Bai Xingjian's heart-stirring English rap! 】

This entry is not only discussed by Bai Xingjian's fans, but even some rappers and old OGs in the rap circle have joined in the discussion.

【Lengmao: I really wanted to laugh when I saw everyone praising Bai Xingjian’s rap skills before! But now I can’t laugh anymore. Bai Xingjian’s recent songs “A Laugh in the Sea” and “Love the Way Your Lie” completely overturned my previous impression of him. The former can be called the pinnacle of Chinese rap, and the latter can be called the pinnacle of Chinese singers in the foreign rap circle. I am really convinced by this guy’s singing, respect! 】

Lengmao can be said to be one of the figures at the top of the Chinese rap circle in China.

The Weibo post he published can be said to have created a huge wave in the Chinese rap circle.

[Hahaha, has Brother Mao finally given in to Bai Xingjian? I knew before that Bai Xingjian was not an ordinary guy, but he had not been in the rap circle for a long time, and I was about to give up paying attention to him. But this time he came back and used two big moves, which really refreshed my worldview! ]
[When you meet someone after three days of absence, you should look at him with new eyes. This shows that Bai Xingjian still cares about our rap circle!]
[I really can’t help but admit it this time! How many rappers in our country can sing Bai Xingjian’s song “Love the way your lie”?]
[Let alone singing it, can these rappers recognize all the English words in this song? I guess they need a translator to do it, right?]
[Hahahahahahahaha, how can you say such a big truth? Someone’s going to be upset now!]
[No, Brother Mao, are you surrendering now? Bai Xingjian is an idol! As a veteran of Chinese rap, how could you be convinced by his singing? Our Chinese rap circle is irreconcilable with these star idols!]
[What kind of extreme thinking is that above? What kind of NT speech is that? Who the hell are you? You are the only one who can represent Chinese rap? You are even irreconcilable with celebrities and idols. You are underground, are you stupid? ]
[This statement is really stupid. As for the English rap that Bai Xingjian sang on "The Voice of China 2024" this time, except for Ouyang Xin who is even more og than Mao Ge, I don't believe there is any other rapper in our country whose English rap can be as smooth as Bai Xingjian's]
[That’s right, and Ouyang Xin is also of Chinese descent. Now the title of the top English rapper in China is probably going to be taken away by Bai Xingjian. I really don’t know why there are still people who are not convinced by Bai Xingjian’s rap level. How deaf are these people and how stubborn are they?]
Different from the previous public opinion environment, this time the comments in the rap circle were almost one-sided.

Many people prefer Bai Xingjian.

Because Bai Xingjian's English rap part in the song "Love the way your lie" really convinced all the rappers in the rap circle, and they couldn't help but be convinced.

Even Ouyang Xin, who has a higher status in the rap circle than Leng Mao, posted his views on Bai Xingjian's English rap on his various social media platforms.

Of course, his opinion was also full of praise for Bai Xingjian.

Bai Xingjian also has some fans who are active in the rap circle. When they saw Ouyang Xin's praise for Bai Xingjian, these fans felt like crying. They rushed to the comment section of Bai Xingjian's Weibo to leave messages and inform him of the news.

However, all these things happened at two or three in the morning, and Bai Xingjian was sleeping soundly, so he naturally couldn't pay attention to the messages from fans.

On Weibo, in addition to the topics congratulating Fenghuang Yufei and praising Bai Xingjian and Feng Shiqi, some conspiracy theories have also emerged. In the first term "unpleasant to hear" that has been on Weibo's hot search list for many years, many online accounts have posted such remarks:
"Am I the only one who felt that Bai Xingjian and Feng Shiqi's performance of "Love the way your lie" tonight was like lip syncing? I don't believe that they can sing English so perfectly."

"No, you're not alone. I have the same thought. Bai Xingjian and Feng Shiqi are lip-syncing."

"That's right! This singing king of Fenghuang Yufei was purely promoted by the program team. Mango TV might have made some kind of py deal with Yehua Entertainment."

"They really look too much like artificial stars. I've seen this since 'New Era of Heavenly Group'. Yehua Entertainment's promotion of Bai Xingjian and Feng Shiqi is really too obvious. But when it comes to 'The Voice of China 2024', they are not pretending at all. Can Bai Xingjian write so many new songs by himself? Can he and Feng Shiqi sing Korean and English so well? Yehua Entertainment and the production team of 'The Voice of China 2024' simply treat us viewers as fools."

"?????"

"What you said... is simply stupid and evil. Do you want to get paid?"

"It's obvious that they took money. Anyone who has watched the live broadcast of "The Voice of China 2024" would not say such a thing."

These conspiracy theories are not very widely spread, but the funny thing is that there are actually quite a few people who believe in them.

Perhaps these people feel that everyone else is drunk and they are the only ones sober.

……

The next day, eleven o'clock.

On the dining table in the hotel room, Zheng Wei held a tablet and asked Bai Xingjian and Feng Shiqi who were sitting opposite him in a leisurely manner:

"So what are your next plans, preparing for the concert? Or participating in the next show?"

"Before you won the title of the best singer in The Voice of China 2024, many programs had already invited you to collaborate. After you two won the title of best singer last night, many more programs invited you to participate in the recording."

Although it was almost noon, Bai Xingjian and Feng Shiqi were eating breakfast at the table.

After hearing what Zheng Wei said, Feng Shiqi looked at it curiously for a few seconds, then continued to drink the porridge in small sips from the bowl.

She doesn't get involved in these matters, all decisions are made by Bai Xingjian.

"Oh? Can we hold our concert again?" Bai Xingjian replied with a smile and a rather teasing tone.

"Isn't it because you won the title of Singer King? If you and Shiqi hadn't won the title, I think you would have to prepare for your concert for a while."

Zheng Wei also sneered. She was naturally somewhat disgusted with the recent behavior of the senior executives of Yehua Entertainment.

"In that case, let's put the concert aside for now. There's no rush anyway."

Bai Xingjian took a bite of the fried dough stick and said calmly, "As for the invitations to those shows, you can take a look at the list first. As for when you can go, it will take some time. Anyway, we are not in a hurry."

"Oh, by the way, Sister Wei, we have all won the title of King of Singers of the Voice 2024. Should our announcement fee also be increased? What do you think is a suitable increase?"

Bai Xingjian asked Zheng Wei.

The contract previously signed with the "Singing 2024" program team naturally includes a benefit agreement for winning the championship.

The prize money includes 100 million, plus there is a considerable announcement fee for each episode. The program crew will also be making payments soon, so Bai Xingjian does not have any financial pressure at the moment.

He could even buy the multi-million dollar piano he had seen before without any pressure.

"Two million per issue should be no problem." Zheng Wei nodded with a smile.

“Is our notice fee so high?”

Feng Shiqi's eyes suddenly lit up. She turned her head and glanced at Bai Xingjian, feeling overjoyed.

What does two million per issue mean?
It usually only takes one day to record an episode. Does that mean she and A Jian can earn two million in one day?

Although it is definitely not that much after deducting taxes and the company's share, it is already very good.

However, just as Feng Shiqi was daydreaming, Bai Xingjian suddenly said:
"Then let's raise our announcement fee to 2 million and 600,000 per episode. As for whether those programs approve it or not, that's their business."

As soon as these words came out, Zheng Wei's eyes suddenly widened, and he asked in disbelief:
"Xingjian, are you serious?"
