Chapter 820  : Scalper, Get Lost

“Blogger, that’s a lot of content in your brackets! [ laughing and crying ]”

“Look at how much pressure you’ve put on people now.”

There were even people who posted a video of themselves chatting with their friends on WeChat.

This time, it was their friends who went, but she didn’t go.

She was so regretful that her face turned green with envy.

Even the scalpers came out to join in the fun. “If I had known earlier, I would have bought more tickets. Liu Jingshen, Ji Jiayi, and Lu Xiangchen are all on the same stage. At this level, the first row should be able to reach close to 1500 dollars.”

Of course, under this Weibo post, many people scolded him.

“Ptui! Scalper, get lost!”

“I suggest that other program teams learn from ‘I Sing’ program team in the future. Don’t release the program list in advance. Don’t give scalpers a chance.”

“Close to 1500 dollars? What are you thinking about?! Even I, a diehard fan, won’t buy it!”

There were also marketing accounts that collated the Weibo screenshots of the regretful posts posted by netizens. Each and every one of them was as funny as a joke.

Ge Guangzhen watched as he scrolled down the page. The more he read, the more shocked he became.

He turned pale with fright and retreated. His finger tapped lightly on the top of the screen, and the page automatically returned to the top.

[ Liu Jingshen, Ji Jiayi, and Lu Xiangchen on the same stage ] was still in the top spot in the trending search. Moreover, the popularity of the search was overwhelming, far surpassing the second place. It seemed that it would stay firmly in first place for a long time.

Ge Guangzhen tapped on it. Kefeng Videos, Donghua Satellite TV, and I [emailprotected] official blog had posted all the contestants’ stages for the public’s enjoyment.

Under this trending topic was naturally the stage where Liu Jingshen, Ji Jiayi, Lu Xiangchen, and Tan Jinsheng sang together.

After the results of the competition were out, there was also a performance with just the three of them.

Ge Guangzhen’s hand trembled. “I Sing” really managed to invite the three of them over.

No, it should be Tan Jinsheng.

As their junior brother, the success rate of inviting them was much higher than I Sing’s program team.

Didn’t Liu Jingshen go to the recording studio of “I Sing” previously just for Tan Jinsheng?

He just didn’t expect that not only Liu Jingshen, but even Ji Jiayi and Lu Xiangchen treat Tan Jinsheng so well!

Lu Xiangchen was still busy with his tour and had rushed back for the live broadcast.

Ge Guangzhen was still looking at the trending posts when he received a voice message from Chen Xinghan.

Ge Guangzhen didn’t want to see their stage either, so he switched to WeChat to see what Chen Xinghan had voice messaged him.

Chen Xinghan asked, “Director, did you see the news about ‘I Sing’? Liu Jingshen, Ji Jiayi, and Lu Xiangchen were all there!”

Ge Guangzhen replied, I just saw it.”

Why did he have to remind him again about such a depressing matter?

Chen Xinghan said, “I heard that Liu Jingshen and Ji Jiayi haven’t taken on any jobs recently. Anyone who looked for them had been rejected. It was all for the live broadcast of the final battle tonight so that they can be the guests of the show.”

Ge Guangzhen was at loss for words.

Liu Jingshen and the other two were really good to Tan Jinsheng

“Lu Xiangchen was out on tour. Yet he took time to come back in the middle of his tour to rehearse with them,” Chen Xinghan added.

“Is there anything else?” Ge Guangzhen did not want to hear it anymore.

Chen Xinghan hesitated for a moment and said, “Director, do you think… our viewership ratings this time can be compared to ‘I Sing’?”

“There’s nothing we can do about the live webcast. We didn’t have a live webcast to begin with, so we can only compare the viewership ratings of the video platform. But live webcasts… even though ours are pre-recorded, it was broadcasted together with ‘I Sing’ tonight. In terms of the lineup… other than Liu Jingshen and his brothers, our lineup did not lose out at all. In fact, we’re even better than them.”

Chen Xinghan didn’t dare to hope that they could win against “I Sing”. He only hoped that they wouldn’t lose too badly.

However, he didn’t dare to say this directly to Ge Guangzhen.

If he had directly said that he didn’t think “Singing Voice” could win against “I Sing’, Ge Guangzhen would have scolded him even though he too knew this in his heart.

“If it weren’t for Liu Jingshen and the other two, it might have been possible. But now with them…” Ge Guangzhen’s heart stifled. “I reckon there won’t be the next season of ‘Singing Voice’.”

He was mentally prepared for every variety show. Sooner or later, they would all end.

But he didn’t expect “Singing Voice” to end so quickly.

It had only lasted four seasons.

Each of those popular variety shows lasted until six or seven seasons, and there was still no sign of ending.

Perhaps there was a downward trend, but it was far from the number that would cause it to end.

Who would have thought that “Singing Voice” would end after only four seasons?

And in such an unseemly way.

It wasn’t that the ending made people feel regretful or unwilling.

Rather, it made people feel that with such poor results, it was time to end.

Chen Xinghan was silent for a long while before he sent another voice message. “Director, do you think… if it weren’t for ‘I Sing’, our program would be able to last a little longer?”.

At least two more seasons wouldn’t be a problem.

Ge Guangzhen thought, is that so though?

He actually knew that the program had already entered a period of exhaustion.

However, if it weren’t for “I Sing”, it would indeed be able to last a little longer.

“Or rather, if we had agreed to Tan Jinsheng’s request back then and let him compete properly instead of directly signing a contract to let him go through the script, and allow Tan Jinsheng to join ‘Singing Voice’, would the situation be reversed now?”

“‘I Sing’ will be neglected, and our program will get better and better. Liu Jingshen, Ji Jiayi, and Lu Xiangchen will also join our program?” Chen Xinghan knew that it was useless to say anything now.

However, he was so stifled that he felt that this matter was too cowardly.

They were the ones who had invited Tan Jinsheng in the beginning.

However, he had forgotten that he was also the one who had spoken up and maintained his attitude towards Tan Jinsheng in the beginning.

Moreover, given Ge Guangzhen’s character, would he allow Tan MO to give suggestions to the program team and come up with ideas?

Even if Tan MO came up with an idea, would Ge Guangzhen accept it?

Ge Guangzhen and Chen Xinghan did not know that the original idea of “I Sing” was given by Tan Mo…

“There aren’t so many if.” Ge Guangzhen snorted. It was unknown whether he was mocking himself or Chen Xinghan.

It was too late to say any “if’s now.

When he saw Liu Jingshen come to find Tan Jinsheng, he already regretted it.

But he had already offended him.

“Alright, go to bed early.” Ge Guangzhen did not have the strength to throw a tantrum at Chen Xinghan. “Let’s see how much the viewership ratings would lack tomorrow.”

“Alright,” Chen Xinghan replied. “Director, you should rest early too. No matter what, we’ll talk about it tomorrow.”

Ge Guangzhen did not reply. He went to look at the netizens’ comments on “I Sing” again.

The more he looked at it, the more indignant he felt.

Why was “I Sing” so lucky!

As he watched, he saw a backstage interview with Tan Jinsheng.

The director said, “We saw the live feedback from the audience. Everyone said that they wanted to listen to the original version of your song, After all, we know that this song had been arranged by Brother Shen to be made more suitable for the four of you to sing, We don ‘t mean that Brother Shen’s arrangement is not good.”.
