"That's fine. Just have her notify me in advance when she wants to release a song! But there's no need this month, right? The popularity of one song, "flammable and explosive," can last for a long time."
Su Yu nodded in agreement readily.
On August 7th, that evening, Su Yu received a call from Xie Jie.
The reason was simple: in this recording, Han Jiangxue achieved an impressive three consecutive championships with her song "big fish."
However, ever since Xie Jie won the championship with ""life is like summer flowers,"" his performance has been getting worse and worse.
In the sixth round of the 踢館賽 , he ranked fifth and was almost eliminated, which gave Xie Jie a huge sense of crisis.
As one of the seven initial singers, he was very eager to hold on until the finals, as only then could his popularity be sustained.
However, as the variety show's popularity grew, the strength and background of the challenge and substitute singers also became more profound, making his position precarious.
Currently, among the initial singers, only Xie Jie, Han Zhuoma, and Hu Zhixuan have not been eliminated, which made Xie Jie even more anxious.
And in the seventh episode of ""The King of Singers"" that just ended today, he even ranked seventh!
If he can't get a good result in the next match, then it will truly be a close call.
"Brother, save your Jie Ge! My results were at the bottom this round. If I can't turn the tide in the next round, I'll have to leave this stage!" As soon as the video call connected, Xie Jie's voice came through.
After he removed his makeup, he looked exceptionally haggard and tired, clearly, this result had a huge impact on him.
"Jie Ge, with your singing ability, it shouldn't be like this, right? Is it convenient to tell me what happened?" Su Yu's interest was piqued instantly.
After all, although Han Jiangxue had been very close to him recently, she wouldn't tell Su Yu about the show's matters.
So Su Yu, who had only watched up to the fifth episode, didn't know what happened afterward.
Moreover, Su Yu felt that Xie Jie's singing skills were quite impressive, so how did it end up like this?
"Alas, speaking of this, it's actually related to you. I also heard it from my wife. Just listen and don't spread it," Xie Jie sighed and didn't keep him in suspense, explaining.
"Since your songs started appearing in the third episode, the champion of every episode of ""The King of Singers"" has been taken by your songs. Plus your crazy performance on the new song charts, many entertainment companies couldn't sit still.
However, you have Tianxing Entertainment as a big backer, so they would obviously have to pay a huge price to play dirty. Therefore, they could only choose to compete with you on the same stage and defeat your songs to suppress your popularity."
Xie Jie revealed the news his wife had heard; in fact, the Xiangnan TV production team also analyzed it this way.
After all, it was a bit bizarre that multiple companies and several top-tier singers suddenly signed up to participate in their variety show.
The truth was that when the show was first being planned, they had personally invited these people, but given their status, they didn't want to be judged by so-called critics and didn't lack the popularity of a variety show, so they refused very decisively.
But it was these big names, who were a bit "sore losers," who started actively contacting the production team. Who would believe there was nothing fishy going on?
"According to what you're saying, Jie Ge, did a big name replace someone during this recording? Who is it, and how did they perform?" Su Yu became interested and asked.
"The substitute this round was Wang Shan, a first-tier male singer from Jusha Entertainment, who ultimately took second place. And the successful challenger from the previous round was Hua Huoxing, a male singer also from Jusha Entertainment. He ranked fourth in this round. This round, they both performed their own famous songs. Starting next round, it should be new songs arranged for them by Jusha Entertainment!"
Xie Jie told him everything he knew. In fact, he was more inclined towards Su Yu's side, as Giant Shark's reputation in the industry was not good, unlike Tianxing Entertainment's excellent reputation.
What's more, Su Yu had also written him a representative-level song, which Giant Shark Entertainment could never compare to.
"Interesting ~ But there's nothing to be afraid of. Jie Ge, even if you didn't call me today, I would have contacted you. I recently wrote a song that's quite suitable for you, would you like to try it?"
Su Yu in the video smiled, as if he didn't put the two powerful singers from Giant Shark in his eyes.
And then, what he said made Xie Jie perk up.
He wouldn't care if Su Yu's words were just being polite; he only heard that Su Yu had a song for him!
"My brother, what more is there to say about your songs? I'll go sign the contract with you tomorrow, your brother bought it!" Xie Jie said excitedly, sweeping away his previous dejected expression.
"Jie Ge, don't bother coming back and forth. I'll send you the song first. If you feel it's okay, just contact Tianxing Entertainment directly tomorrow and sign online."
Su Yu waved his hand, after all, he now works for a company, so selling songs has to go through the company's procedures.
"That's great! My brother, send it over, I can't wait."
Xie Jie had no objections.
He just didn't know how much the fee would be this time, but he would find out when he contacted Tianxing Entertainment tomorrow.
Three minutes after hanging up the phone, Xie Jie received the song "those flowers" from Su Yu.
"Play the demo and listen." Zhang Na, who had been listening from the side, also leaned over.
She could now be considered Su Yu's fan, so she was also extremely curious about Su Yu's new song.
Xie Jie didn't hesitate and clicked play directly.
The intro to this song was very simple, surprisingly, it only had a simple acoustic guitar accompaniment, and the gentle and soft melody instantly seemed to warm one's heart.
However, what surprised Xie Jie and Zhang Na even more was yet to come.
"【That laughter, reminds me of, those flowers of mine. In every corner of my life, quietly blooming for me.】"
The singing came, and this time the demo was not an electronic synthesized voice, but Su Yu's personal performance!
And Su Yu's magnetic voice, carrying images of memories, also made Xie Jie and Zhang Na's eyes light up.
Beautiful, catchy! This song, if no accident, is another classic song of representative level!
After listening to the song, Zhang Na couldn't help but exclaim excitedly: "Jie Ge, you've hit the jackpot this time. I feel this song is even better than ""life is like summer flowers""! Its popularity might be stronger."
Although Zhang Na was a host, she had a lot of exposure to popular songs, and she even had a humorous song herself.
"It is indeed a very, very high-level folk song. With it, the next competition is stable!"
Xie Jie spoke excitedly, his eyes filled with fighting spirit.
