Chapter 533 Impartial and Selfless Temporary Competition
Chen Xiaoqi frowned slightly and asked in a low voice: "Why did Mr. Li say that?"
Seeing her reaction, Li Shuo said, "I'm afraid Producer Chen has some guesses in his mind, right?"
"This time the inspection team came to check our crew, perhaps to grab the post-production rights. Producer Chen praised me for being impartial and selfless, but in fact, I am a person of this character."
"Perhaps such people can bring benefits to the company, but they will also raise objections from time to time and challenge the boss's authority. To be frank, among the bosses in the entertainment industry, how many people are fair and selfless as I admire?"
Having said this, Li Shuo patted Chen Xiaoqi on the shoulder and stood up.
Just at this time, Team Leader Zhang welcomed in several artists from Spreadtrum Culture, and a temporary singing competition began.
As the largest film and television production company in Lenghai, Spreadtrum's main business was originally film and television production. However, since 09, it has been involved in artist management business and has developed rapidly due to its strong foundation. Now is the time to show its strength: it has attracted 10 potential singing artists in one go, and all of them are women.
Looking at the whole row of female singers aged from 18 to 30, even Li Shuo, who was used to big scenes, was slightly shocked. He thought, "No wonder Spreadtrum Culture is so picky about Zheng Yingshan. Zheng Yingshan's ability may not be as good as so many others."
"Ahem, Mr. Li, would you like to tell me some rules of the competition?"
At this time, Lu Xiping turned his head to look at Li Shuo and said suggestively: "There are so many people in Spreadtrum, and they seem to be of mixed quality. I think we should eliminate some of them. What do you think?"
As for the behind-the-scenes operation, it was a piece of cake for Lu Xiping, who came from the Chinese film industry.
Li Shuo was somewhat tempted, but soon felt Chen Xiaoqi's concerned gaze.
This woman is really talented, but she is really not likable! Li Shuo sighed inwardly, and realized firsthand the reason why Chen Xiaoqi was targeted.
"No need, time is running out, let's start right away!"
Li Shuo waved his hand and gave the order in a rather heroic manner.
These words shocked Lu Xiping greatly, while Chen Xiaoqi stared at Li Shuo and almost couldn't help clapping: From this moment on, she began to seriously consider Li Shuo's suggestion. If she could follow this boss who suited her taste, perhaps she could really develop a big career.
"Well, I'll distribute the lyrics and music to you. You have half an hour to get used to it..."
Lu Xiping stood up and immediately used another underhanded trick: Even for a professional singer, it would be difficult to become familiar with a new song within half an hour.
However, this was what Li Shuo and Tang Yunyi had discussed in the morning, so Chen Xiaoqi could not have any objection.
"Ah? This is too difficult!"
"Can you give me a little more time?"
The contestants from Spreadtrum Culture shouted that the girls had just run over and they had to get into the game immediately, which was really difficult.
Li Shuo also waved to Zheng Yingshan openly and said to the contestants, "Since you are here, you must have understood the whole story. I won't repeat it here. This is Zheng Yingshan, the original singer of the theme song "Unforgivable". She will sing on stage now. If anyone is confident that they can beat her, they can go on stage immediately after familiarizing themselves with the lyrics... Well, the speed of familiarizing oneself with the lyrics and music will also be an important consideration. Producer Chen, what do you think?"
Chen Xiaoqi thought for a moment, then looked at the contestants from Spreadtrum Culture and said, "That's right. I believe that since you have passed Spreadtrum's selection, you must be geniuses in this field. So, don't hold yourself to the standards of ordinary people. Although it is difficult, you must show your full strength!"
Chen Xiaoqi knew that most of the selections in the entertainment industry were actually in this situation, and most of them were even worse than now. She wanted to tell everyone that Spreadtrum could only do so much for them, and the rest depended on their strength!
The people from Spreadtrum were silent, but one person responded loudly: "Thank you, Director Chen, we got it!"
It was a typical loli voice with a hint of pure desire. Li Shuo was slightly stunned when he heard it. Why did it sound like the most popular BGM dubbing on Tik Tok?
Following the voice, I saw a young girl with bright white teeth and a young face. She was just a little short, about 1 meters tall...
"Well, my McDull is still confident!"
Chen Xiaoqi praised him and told Li Shuo his name. The latter raised his eyebrows. He didn't expect that he would meet another Douyin celebrity in the future.
However, this internet celebrity is quite special. She rarely shows her face, but is known mainly for her voice. She often sings covers of various hit songs, and is also the background music for various popular videos.
It turns out that McDull was already a professional singer before becoming an Internet celebrity.
Li Shuo thought silently in his heart, and he didn't have the idea of poaching people. Now he has seen all kinds of stars and internet celebrities, and he doesn't have any feelings about this.
Soon, Zheng Yingshan went on stage to sing "Unforgiven", which caused applause after the song. Even Li Shuo showed admiration. He originally thought that Zheng Yingshan was the kind of superficial talent who was packaged. Now, although her singing voice was not perfect, it actually had no flaws. With his background support, Zheng Yingshan was actually qualified to sing the theme song.
The singers from Spreadtrum Culture looked at each other, and for a moment no one was willing to go on stage!
We are all professionals, so we can naturally tell that Zheng Yingshan has practiced for a long time. If they want to surpass her, they also need a lot of practice. Isn't it asking for trouble to go on stage now?
"Who's next?"
Lu Xiping stood in the audience, looked at Chen Xiaoqi with some pride, and asked loudly.
Chen Xiaoqi didn't care. She had heard Zheng Yingshan's singing before and always felt that it lacked sufficient emotion and flavor, but her singing skills and tone were all quite good. It would be best if a better candidate could be found now, but if not, it didn't really matter.
"Um, let me try?"
As if she saw Chen Xiaoqi in trouble, the girl with a childlike face took the initiative to step forward. Chen Xiaoqi saw this and couldn't help but ask with concern: "McDull, are you okay? It's still early, you can prepare more!"
"No problem, Mr. Chen, you know, I have a special voice, I can sing any song..."
Soon, everyone understood what "special sound line" meant!
When McDull sang "Unforgiven", it felt like a crying child. Her voice was too "Lolita". Although it was sweet, it was really out of tune with this "revenge of housewives" song.
After listening to this, Li Shuo finally felt relieved and smiled at Chen Xiaoqi, "As expected of Spreadtrum, it is so powerful. Your little McDull singer has a very unique voice. If he can match it with the right song, he might become an instant hit on the Internet."
Chen Xiaoqi's heart moved, and she sighed deliberately, "It's a pity that Spreadtrum is engaged in traditional film and television, and it doesn't have many resources in the field of singing, let alone resources on the Internet..."
Although she herself has no intention of switching to Shuoguo for the time being, she thinks that it would be a good choice for McDull to switch to Shuoguo, because she knows that Shuoguo Culture started out on the Internet, and its first well-known artist was the e-sports internet celebrity Miss.
Li Shuo didn't put on airs when the meat was served to him. He continued, "How long does Miss McDull's contract with Spreadtrum last? If she is willing, she can come to Shuoguo to investigate. I believe Lu Tingyu can discover her shining points..."
"Well, I'll convey these words to her later."
While the two were talking, McDull had finished singing, and then Wei Ni officially took the stage.
As soon as this girl opened her mouth, Li Shuo, Chen Xiaoqi and everyone else shut up: when an expert opens his mouth, one can taste many things. Wei Ni's singing skills are one level higher than Zheng Yingshan's. What's more amazing is that she really sang out the complex emotions of "sorrow" and "revenge" in "Unforgiven", like an abandoned woman in crazy hysteria!
Li Shuo was stunned by this voice, and almost misunderstood whether Wei Ni had been abandoned...
After the song was over, Chen Xiaoqi was the first to stand up and applaud, shouting, "Great! Who is this girl? She sang really well, this is the theme song I wanted!"
Li Shuo immediately reacted, stood up and applauded, and directly selected: "I didn't expect Wei Ni to sing so well. I should have chosen her to sing the theme song earlier... Then, producer Chen, let her be the singer!"
Chen Xiaoqi was stunned, looked at the artists from Spreadtrum Culture, and said hesitantly: "Well, should we wait for everyone to go on stage together and go through the formalities?"
Li Shuo shook his head and said firmly: "I never do things in a formality way. Since I have already selected the best one, it doesn't matter if others don't look at it!"
The main thing is, these people are not from Shuoguo Culture, so why should we give them a chance?
It was you, Spreadtrum, who hurriedly sent these people here. You should handle the subsequent issues yourselves!
Chen Xiaoqi also realized this and opened her mouth, but because of Wei Ni's outstanding performance, she couldn't say a word.
She was like this, and Spreadtrum's Team Leader Zhang was even more like this. He wanted to interrupt, but when he thought of Lin Haiying who was currently "on trial" in the company, all his thoughts were extinguished in an instant!
At this time, Cui Yunzhen's crisp voice came: "Well, I'm not very good at singing "Unforgiven", can you sing other songs?"
Li Shuo turned to look at her, and was stunned. This girl actually changed into a South Korean idol style outfit, wearing a headset very professionally, looking full of energy and high spirits.
His voice softened involuntarily, and he said with a smile: "Of course, what song do you want to sing? Let the staff tune it for you..."
Everyone was speechless when they heard this, especially the people from Spreadtrum Culture, who were all slandering in their hearts: Handsome guy, you are too hypocritical, aren't you? We are not even allowed to sing the competition songs, but this guy can sing whatever he wants?
But even Chen Xiaoqi did not dare to question him, because Spreadtrum Culture was in the wrong in today's incident. Now Li Shuo was the only boss on the scene and had the upper hand, so naturally no one could compete with him!
"Then, a song of "gee" is dedicated to everyone!"
Choi Yoon-jung sang the most popular song "gee" from the Beautiful Legs Era. This song is also very popular in China and is the BGM for a certain variety show. So even though she sang the Korean version, everyone could still hear a thing or two.
Li Shuo also saw Choi Yoon-jeong's lively and cute side for the first time. This girl who always called him Master definitely looked like an idol fan. She put a lot of hard work into this song "gee" alone because she sang and danced at the same time!
"She sang in Korean, which was a highlight, but she must be South Korean, right?"
“Although I don’t understand it, it feels obviously out of tune…”
"SN Entertainment really dares to invite anyone. How can such an unprofessional person go on stage?"
People from Spreadtrum Culture were whispering among themselves, and it wasn't like these people were completely slandering her, because Choi Yoon-jeong's songs were indeed not that good.
but……
Li Shuo had seen many live videos of South Korean idols in his previous life, and those were absolutely horrible!
Singing and dancing at the same time is extremely difficult. It requires corresponding training for each song, and also requires a certain level of talent!
Others only heard her singing voice trembling a little, as if she was not in tune at all, but Li Shuo felt that her level was even higher than that of ordinary idol groups!
As the background music faded, Choi Yoon-jeong bowed and saluted. Li Shuo was the first to stand up and clapped his hands, saying, "The performance was very good. The level is almost higher than those girl groups of yours!"
When the others heard this, even though they were reluctant, they had no choice but to follow suit and applaud.
"thank you all!"
Cui Yunzhen smiled sweetly and then walked off the stage. At this time, people from SN Entertainment came up one after another, most of them were praising and amazed, and some whispered back what the Spreadtrum group said.
Finally, someone concluded: "Speaking of which, we have to say that our president understands this. He can actually tell that Choi Yoon-jung sings well. He is really amazing!"
"Of course not. President Li is Choo Ja Sun's boyfriend after all!"
"Rich people must have different tastes!"
Regardless of what these people said, the singing competition in the afternoon ended hastily after Cui Yunzhen stepped down from the stage. The people from Spreadtrum Culture ended up with nothing. They came and left in a hurry. Wei Ni became the final winner and handed over the contract with Zheng Yingshan normally. The two then completed the "termination" and "contract" agreements with the crew respectively...
Although Wei Ni nominally joined the crew, she actually only needed to record the theme song, so she didn't have to work in the crew. At around 3 pm, Li Shuo sent the two girls back to Lenghai Conservatory of Music, and then took a car to the SN Entertainment building. It was here that he first met Qiu Cixian.
Today's experience made Li Shuo feel very sorry for this South Korean star. Although Choo Ja-sun is only second-rate in South Korea, she is definitely a top star in China. At her peak, she was TOP1. Such a female star followed him without any consideration for any benefits, and was so gentle and considerate. After all, Li Shuo is not a complete scumbag, and he wants to make up for it.
Because they had communicated over the phone before, Han Dazhi had been waiting in the office for a long time when Li Shuo arrived. When he saw Li Shuo coming in, he quickly stood up and said, "Mr. Li, long time no see. You look more charming than ever!"
Li Shuo smiled and said, "It's the same thing. Stop flattering me."
"No, no, no. You were too fierce before. To be honest, I felt breathless in front of you. Now you are like a sheathed sword, majestic yet easy-going. Obviously, you have become more mature..."
