Chapter 14 "I didn't expect that I would advance"

Ji Zhen was watching the Spring Festival Gala in the living room when she received a call from Sui Yi. Her daughter and her soon-to-be husband were sitting next to each other, staring at her phone like a time bomb.

"Hello?" Ji Zhen walked to the balcony.

Sui Yi called her: "Sister."

Ji Zhen immediately became alert: "What's the matter?"

"Didn't you know before?" Suiyi said, "I'm looking for publicity, not for me, so do me a favor."

Ji Zhen squeezed her jacket and took a deep breath to build her mind: "How can I help?"

Sui Yi's brows furrowed, and she thought for a long time before she said: "Bai Yan, you mentioned it before, I owed him a favor when I was in college, this time I want to help him, you help me find it, the rest I will do it myself."

After the first stage was broadcast, Sui Yi realized that there were very few things she could do. A lot of people needed to scan the card to vote for sponsors, and the program data needed to be patrolled online for a long time. Even the hot search for the program required a publicity company to conduct it. Guide, otherwise everything is like a tide that will only be noisy for a short time, and nothing can hold Bai Yan.

And with his own name on his face, most of the time he couldn't move an inch.

Ji Zhen sneered and said, "I didn't expect this kind of thing? How humane? Want to pay it back like this?"

Sui Yi didn't answer.

"I'll ask you." After Ji Zhen finished speaking, she turned her head: "But I'll help you this time, and you'll give me more face later, okay?"

"Okay." Sui Yi agreed without hesitation.

Ji Zhen hesitated for a few seconds, but still said, "Can you talk to him about anything specific? I have a clue in my heart."

After a long time, Sui Yi said with a little difficulty: "My good friend in college, I didn't think much of him coming to participate in the competition before, and what he said was not very pleasant. Now it seems that the effect of the show is still good, so I want to pull him."

"How many years have you been graduating, and I haven't heard from you for so many years." Ji Zhen said gently, and didn't ask further: "You didn't help him earlier, but now you want to help him, are they happy? Why do I feel about you? Do you want to come out or come out?"

Suiyi couldn't figure it out for himself, so he accumulated a lot of questions for himself. Most of the time he came to the island, he wanted to be close to Bai Yan, but when he returned rationally, he would warn himself not to have too much contact with Bai Yan; On the one hand, he feels that the show consumes Bai Yan, and on the other hand, he hopes to search for more resources from this show to give to Bai Yan.

He could only interpret these unexplainable emotions as his own repetitions, so much so that he despised his own strange operations.

I don't understand, the more think about it, the more don't understand.

The phone vibrated again, and Xiao Chen sent a huge file package. The file name showed that it was a new year's music project, followed by four or five audio files, all named demo of the new song.

Xiao Chen sent him a message respectfully: with the boss, happy new year, work has started.

As Yi reacted, the month-long vacation that only needed to easily record variety shows and commercial platforms was over.

The door of the lounge was pushed open, and the coordinator came in halfway with the walkie-talkie, and said cautiously, "Teacher, the recording has started, are you ready?"

Sui Yi nodded towards her, straightened her clothes, stood up, and walked to the studio unhurriedly, taking a few thick gray envelopes from her hand.

The recording of the first elimination of "Only 2019" was rushed. Chen Xiaolong was complaining about everything going wrong until one second before the start, and then he stared at the monitor again.

Before Sui Yi came to the stage, he had opened the envelopes of the list of forty eliminated contestants, and after scanning it three times, he confirmed that there was no Bai Yan inside. a little complicated.

"Thirty-fifth, he is the first to be diligent in training for 20 hours, and he wants to go to the last white banquet." Jane Annie put her hand on her chest and read the ranking of the white banquet into the microphone.

"Congratulations to Bai Yan, coming to the center of the stage." The host handed him a microphone.

Bai Yan's somewhat surprised expression was particularly evident on the monitor, and the director pushed closer to his face without changing his expression.

The host asked, "What do you think?"

Bai Yan, like most of the time, paused and didn't speak.

"Just say whatever you want." The host covered the microphone and reminded Bai Yan.

All eyes were focused on him, Bai Yan grabbed the microphone and was a little nervous, as if he felt a sense of existence unexpectedly, and the accident was not bad.

"I didn't expect that I would advance," Bai Yan said honestly, "Thank you everyone."

There was no change on the faces of the tutors, Bai Yan even felt that the rap tutor showed a gratified smile, Jane Annie dialed the microphone and said, "Xiao Bai, you have made great progress, keep working hard, and hope to enjoy your dance. "

On the big screen behind him, Bai Yan's practice photos and stage posters were revolving, filling up every date. The spirit that was used to overcome fatigue seemed to suddenly relax. Bai Yan swayed his legs slightly on the seat, quite relaxed. watched the entire recording.

Sui Yi sat in front of him as before, with her back straight, looking like an emotionless machine.

When the recording was over, the executive director told Bai Yan mercifully that he could go to the convenience store, and took the initiative to return the phone to him: "However, the ranking must be kept secret!"

Bai Yan took the mobile phone and just walked out of the building, when he found Gudong hiding in the bushes beside the door as if preparing for a surprise attack.

Gu Dong didn't hold the computer and waved to Bai Yan.

"What's wrong?" Bai Yan felt that her expression was a little solemn.

Gudong angrily: "Mr. Bai, let's talk while walking."

"I'm so fucking speechless." Gudong scolded, "The director's team has a hole in their brains. The tractor will overturn when driving over. If the competition system is changed, don't tell me, first tell the publicity team. Now the whole script is going to be redone."

Bai Yan didn't digest much information, so he had to walk silently.

"Maybe this is the outsourced screenwriter." Gudong felt sorry for himself, "Mr. Bai, I will tell you a long story short, because of the fan recruitment, fans will no longer be able to vote in the semi-finals, and all voting will end tonight. ."

Is the game over? Bai Yan came up with an absurd idea.

"So what we said before, the script for you to show your brother's character, is invalid, now!" Gu Dong said seriously.

"Very good." Bai Yan nodded.

"Let's discuss it now, and then I'll revise the script at night, okay!" Gu Dong put a packet of egg yolk pastry in Bai Yan's hand, "Let's go, let's go to the conference room."

The crowded and bustling convenience store lights up more than a dozen meters away, calm and stable.

On the last day of 2019, the curtain of the Spring Festival Gala slowly came down, and the biggest change about "Only 2019" finally arrived in the quiet and depressing New Year's Eve.

Bai Yan began to notice the anomaly at three o'clock in the morning. Gu Dong typed in a few words while pushing his glasses, his expression very wooden.

"Why don't you change it tomorrow?" Bai Yan pointed to Gu Dong's dark circles.

"No, no, it will be too late tomorrow." Gudong thought in a daze, "Tomorrow we will announce the cancellation of voting and the only card."

"What?" Bai Yan yawned, unable to hear clearly.

Gudong seemed to think for a long time before closing the notebook and whispering, "Mr. Bai, I'm telling you, don't tell anyone else."

"Um."

"Tomorrow, the program team will announce the cancellation of the competition voting, call on fans to disband the support club, and then announce the follow-up promotion rules and how to use the only card." Gudong said hesitantly: "It may be that everyone will not watch it, or the show may not be broadcast. "

"That's a good thing!" Bai Yan thought to himself, but he still didn't speak to dampen Gu Dong's enthusiasm.

"If you tell me the final version, then the show is definitely hopeless!" Gu Dong scratched his head painfully, "The next promotions depend on the mentors on and off the court, and every mentor who is eliminated in each round has an only card. You can send one person to the finals! It's pointless to vote to death before! Why should we change the competition system!"

Bai Yan looked at her as if trying to feel some anger.

"Why on earth should we change the competition system! This is whether anyone in the world still cares about the mood of show fans!" Gu Dong angrily tore open a new bag of egg yolk pastry, "Why did you tell me now! Screenwriters have no human rights? !"

"Don't be too angry." Bai Yan dryly squeezed out a word of comfort.

"I'm so mad! Teacher Bai, according to the script we set before, you will definitely be able to make countless fans and then climb all the way to the finals. If you do this, it won't work at all!" Gu Dong's expression was a little helpless.

"Why does everyone want me to enter the finals?" Bai Yan was a little puzzled, as if everyone around him was urging him, hurry up and go to the finals.

Gudong gave him an incomprehensible look: "Of course I hope you are well... Well, although I am a screenwriter, I really hope that the players I am in charge of can have more stages, but most of the people who care about you hope that you Go to the final, it's a good thing after all."

Bai Yan tried to understand a few things that were not very relevant in her explanation, but was stunned and did not refute.

The atmosphere of the Spring Festival did not bring much hope to the new year. As a key player, Bai Yan was forced to stay up all night with the reality show screenwriter, as if waiting for the ending after dawn.

Gudong, like other program staff, was full of daze and anxiety, a ding-dong sounded on the computer screen, and the file package for the program's rectification popped up from the group, announcing the final answer.

"Mr. Bai..." Gudong watched and studied it for a while, then sighed: "Only it seems that you are in the draft right now. You seem to have participated in the draft, but in fact you haven't."

The last piece of the file package is about how to use the only card. The appearance of the only card has been designed, and the prototype is used to show the effect of the entity, which is placed on the far left of the introduction page.

"In each round of the knockout round, the instructor can use an only card to guide a player to the next round?" Xiao Chen lay on the co-pilot and browsed the latest recording plan on his mobile phone, "Why didn't you see this content before?"

Ten minutes ago, Sui Yi handed her a new trumpet and a New Year's red envelope worth 100,000 yuan. Then, before the clock entered the new year, she made a new request: to help Bai Yan connect with promoters and fans. meeting.

It took Xiao Chen a while to understand the boss's meaning, and then nodded frequently: "It turns out that this is the matter of looking for publicity! Sister Zhen told me!"

"Are we going to sign him? Push him out with Xiaoyi?" Xiao Chen received 100,000 yuan. He was very excited and guessed wildly.

Sui Yi glanced at him with no expression on his face: "No."

"Oh." Xiao Chen closed his mouth in time.

"Just doing me a favor." Sui Yi couldn't hold back, and added a little bit of a whisper.

Xiao Chen showed a very responsible expression and nodded.

On New Year's Eve, the motor vehicle lanes in the urban area are clean and quiet, like a utopia where no one enters.

Sui Yi caught some unfamiliar words, sat up straight, and asked her, "What is the only card?"

"That is to say, a link is added, and the instructor can recommend a contestant to the next round in each round." Xiao Chen looked down at his phone, and was a little puzzled: "Why add this link? There are so many votes in itself. The show is so complicated? There must be nothing wrong with Xiaoyi, you can recommend the other two with the boss? But is this good? Will you be scolded for being shady? I can't figure it out..."

Like every time before, when the show gave him a bad feeling, Sui Yi would subconsciously switch to the trumpet account that was only used to pay attention to Bai Yan, to see what happened on the Internet.

The private messages accumulated in the background popped up together with Ji Zhen's news.

The first private message came from the system, suggesting that the five accounts he reported had been verified for abuse and personal attacks, and had been banned.

The second private letter is the official content of the program group that a small fan of Bai Yan passed to him. Click on it and see a black-on-white announcement stating that in order to ensure the quality of the program, "Only2019" will cancel the fan vote from the top 60 In the link, the scoring content of the tutor and the professional jury will be used as the promotion standard.

The third private message was a link sent to him by Yuan Yuan. A gossip trumpet was earnestly breaking the news, saying that the only follow-up competitions were given by the instructor to clear the level, and Yi Shengqing would most likely make his debut.

The question marks and swear words of the fans of the show took up a lot of space. As if the storm was about to fall in the city, Sui Yi calmed down and opened Ji Zhen's news.

"Only the competition system has been changed, and your walk-through card will be left to Xiaoyi in the future."

"The show will be recorded as usual, and the reality show will be recorded next week. You remember how much cue Xiaoyi."

The car passed a speed bump, bumped for a while, and slowly drove into the underground parking lot.

Sui Yi glanced at the concrete wall outside the car window, it was bare and gray, he suddenly understood Bai Yan's obedience and negativity in the illusion of being destroyed.

He seemed to have tossed a lot for Bai Yan, but in the end he couldn't bring him anything.
