At the same time, Chu Zhongqin was being interviewed by a large group of reporters.
A reporter asked, "Mr. Chu, do you have anything to say about the fifth place in this episode of I Am a Singer? Do you feel a lot of pressure? "
Chu Zhongqin: "It's alright. The people who participated in I Am a Singer were all very capable. Occasionally, they performed poorly, and their ranking dropped. Therefore, I need to work harder to produce music and adjust my condition. "
Another reporter asked, "Then, Mr. Chu, do you think you can regain your leading position in the upcoming competition?"
Chu Zhongqin: "I have this confidence. After all, I have been in the music industry for a long time. My basic skills haven't disappeared. Naturally, I won't let the new generation monopolize the beauty."
On the surface, he appeared to be very confident. However, once the interview ended, Chu Zhongqin anxiously rushed over. Once he saw Hong Dali, he burst into tears. "Young Master, save me. Those people from 'I Am a Singer' are too cruel. I'm already ranked fifth! Young Master, I don't ask for first place. I only ask not to be eliminated! Otherwise, I will lose all my face! "
It was no wonder that Chu Zhongqin was anxious. If it were someone else, it would be slightly worse. The problem was that those people agreed to come because of his reputation. In the end, he was eliminated within two rounds. That was a huge loss of face.
"Oh, I already knew." Hong Dali sniffled. "Do you think I don't know what you're thinking? Let me say this first. Let's not do anything shady. It's impossible to control the audience like in the first episode. That's meaningless. Let me ask you this. In the third episode, based on your ability, can you get the top … En, do you have any hope of getting the top four? "
"Top four?" Chu Zhongqin thought for a while and said with certainty, "If I sing my best song, rearrange it, and practice for a few days, there should be no problem! But I'm afraid that the audience won't buy it! "
"That's fine. As long as you don't get the last place." Hong Dali grinned and said, "That shouldn't be a problem, right?"
"Yes, of course." Chu Zhongqin was still a little doubtful. "But the fourth episode and the later ones …"
"Don't worry." Hong Dali was certain. "I promise you won't lose out. Oh right, we are short of one person. Do you have any suggestions? At least she can't be worse than Jiang Ruoyu. "
"You're still looking for a powerful one?!" Chu Zhongqin was obviously shocked. "Young Master, will it work if you look for a powerful one? Didn't Jiang Ruoyu already sign a contract with Young Master? This is such a good opportunity, why don't you properly nurture him? " Speaking of which, he was in the same boat as Hong Dali now, so he was quite considerate of Hong Dali. Of course, he had his own reasons too — who would be willing to find themselves an opponent that was too awesome?
"A contract is a contract, a competition is a competition." Hong Dali humphed. "What's the point of a competition without suspense? Think quickly! "
"Then let me think." Chu Zhongqin thought for a while, and his eyes suddenly lit up. "Chang Gongyan, Chang Gongyan is not bad! Young Master can look for him! "
"Chang Gongyan?" Hong Dali naturally did not know him. He directly asked Zhang Cai, "Sister Cai, who is this Chang Gongyan?"
Zhang Cai was quite familiar with the entertainment industry. Without thinking, she replied, "I was just about to recommend him to Young Master. This Chang Gongyan debuted quite early, but he has a strong personality and doesn't like being restricted by an entertainment company. Thus, currently, no one has been supporting him and he can be considered to be not very popular. But his singing skills are definitely not worse than Jiang Ruoyu's, and his image is also fine. "
"Oh, oh, this is good, this is good." Hong Dali directly decided. "Then, it shall be him! Go and contact them, then post on the internet that you've found a powerful person. Remember to keep it a secret. "
"OK." Zhang Cai thought for a while and asked, "But Young Master, our 'I Am a Singer' is very popular now. Quite a number of famous and popular singers want to participate in it. They don't even need to pay a single cent for their appearance fee. Do you think …"
"Ask them to wait first." Hong Dali humphed. "Those who are too popular have bad tempers and are not easy to serve. Furthermore, they are too tightly bound by the entertainment company. There's no meaning even if they come. We don't lack their popularity. Don't."
Zhang Cai and Chu Zhongqin sighed in unison.
This Young Master's breadth of mind was really not something that ordinary people could tolerate.
If it were any other show, wouldn't it be overjoyed that so many popular stars were willing to join the show without a single cent? They wished they could welcome them in a sedan chair. Young Master, on the other hand, didn't even bother to look them in the eye and directly rejected them.
But with Young Master's ability, he either didn't want to do it, or if he wanted to do it, he would use money to achieve the strongest effect.
If this' I Am a Singer 'was produced by another company, it would at most be a small hit. Yet, Young Master actually used money to create a super talent show that had a viewership rating of over 5%.
One's ability determined one's vision. This saying was really true.
…
In the next few days, the internet went crazy again!
Lin Xiao, who was the weakest in 'I Am a Singer', was eliminated — of course, Lin Xiao's net worth did indeed increase by quite a bit. And most importantly, Lin Xiao was also a singer who had signed a contract with Caiwei Entertainment!
What did this mean? It meant that 'I Am a Singer' was real! There was no shady dealings! Even a singer who had signed a contract with his company was eliminated, what shady dealings could there be? Furthermore, the audience wasn't fools. Lin Xiao was indeed under too much pressure and performed poorly, which resulted in her losing the competition.
Therefore, the audience now had a very good impression of the fairness of 'I Am a Singer' produced by Caiwei Entertainment. Even the discussions on the internet about the winners and runners-up of the next few competitions also became more and more heated.
Just at this time, Caiwei Entertainment threw another heavy bomb into the boiling water!
In the third episode, there would be a heavyweight singer participating!
His name would be kept a secret! His age would be kept a secret! Apart from knowing that this was a male singer, everything else was kept a secret!
Therefore, in just two days, the popularity of the discussions surrounding this mysterious figure on the internet skyrocketed at a breakneck speed. Even on Xinhai Weibo, it was in full swing. A Weibo post that speculated and analyzed the new character of 'I Am a Singer' was upvoted more than 100,000 times, more than three times more than the second place.
Not only that, the viewership rating of Tianjing Satellite TV continued to climb, reaching an astonishing 5.4% — correspondingly, the drama produced by Huawei Entertainment was completely at the bottom — the audience very quickly developed the habit of going to sleep after watching 'I Am a Singer' …
The number of visitors on So Cool video-sharing website also climbed steadily. The total number of downloads for the first episode had exceeded the 30 million mark, and the total number of downloads for the first and second episodes of 'I Am a Singer' had reached more than 40 million. As for Li Nianwei's concert — it had already reached a record of more than 60 million …
…
Hong Dali naturally didn't care how popular it was on the internet. Currently, he was standing in the lobby of the first floor of Chenhui Building, looking around.
When Hong Dali arrived with Quentin in his arms, the entire first floor was filled with barking dogs. Luckily, he had the super awesome title halo of "Animal's Best Friend". When Hong Dali entered the hall, the entire first floor was instantly silent. In an instant, the pet caregivers that he hired were really shocked.
Facing a legendary figure like Hong Dali, although people were still used to calling him "that superprodigal from the Hong Family" behind his back, their tone was no longer as disdainful. After all, it was indeed not easy to squander in such an artistic manner. Therefore, when the head nurse saw Hong Dali carrying the tiger cub, bringing Tang Muxin, Lin Zixuan, and the nine lackeys in, she respectfully went up and greeted, "Young … Young Master, hello!"
"En, good." Hong Dali looked around. "Well done. Aiyo, look at how these little cuties are now, you've taken good care of them. Haha, reward them! 3,000 per person! "
"Thank you, Young Master!" The head nurse was very grateful. As expected of the legendary superprodigal with great vision and boldness, he rewarded them 3,000 in one go! There were at least 40 pet caregivers on this floor. With just a simple reward, hundreds of thousands of yuan would be gone.
However, although the head nurse thought this way, he really didn't mean to say that Hong Dali was a fool. To be able to become a pet caregiver, this head nurse really liked little animals. Therefore, he didn't forget to secretly add on to Hong Dali, "God bless him, this is the God of Fortune, Guan Yin Bodhisattva, please bless him to live to a ripe old age. This way, there will be more little animals to take care of in the future …"
As for what the head nurse thought, Hong Dali naturally didn't care. What he was really concerned about was the future of these stray little animals. "I say, head nurse, these little fellows are really quite cute, but we can't take care of them forever. Do you have any good suggestions?" As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and touched the head of the white Pekingese closest to him. He didn't forget to praise it. "Aiyo, this little rascal, it still wants to lick me, haha."
Tang Muxin and Lin Zixuan, who were at the side, were already very happy. They touched this and that. Anyway, these stray dogs had all been vaccinated and bathed after being sent here, so they weren't dirty. Naturally, they could touch them however they wanted.
"En, Young Master, my suggestion is." The head nurse had been thinking about this for the past few days. "After these cute little fellows have been tidied up, we might as well find someone with a heart to raise them. Actually, these little fellows are very easy to take care of. We just need to feed them. They're all stray cats and dogs, they're not so delicate. They'll be very satisfied with the leftovers from humans' meals. "
"I think that's fine. It's decided, then." Hong Dali thought for a while and nodded. "Let's take care of them here for a period of time first. The main thing is to make sure they don't have any infectious diseases. Oh right, shave all their fur and burn it. I'm afraid they won't be clean enough. Don't let there be lice in their fur.
