#193 - Chapter 193 The Strongest Voice in China VS the same song, a strong showdown!
Knowing the other party was being hypocritical, he couldn't say it outright.
"No need for thanks."
Chen Hao put on a fake smile: "The contract clearly states that this is one of our responsibilities, Mr. John… … Sorry! My other phone is ringing, please wait a moment."
He had bought another phone temporarily when he went to Hong Kong.
But since returning from Hong Kong, he hadn't used it again, so where did two phones come from?
Chen Hao moved the phone away, pretending to be on another call: "Mr. Wilson? New product? This is a trade secret, and besides… … if I tell you, it wouldn't be fair to the other partners."
He babbled on for a while.
He put the phone back to his ear: "Sorry, I just got a call—by the way! What can I do for you?"
"I… …"
On the other end of the phone.
John felt like he had swallowed a fly: "It's nothing, just to express my gratitude."
"Between friends, you don't need to be so polite, should I hang up now?"
"Okay."
After Chen Hao hung up, John looked dejected.
He was in Shanghai.
In charge of the construction of the SP4 new factory, making it easier to access new information.
Learning that Chuangshiji's new product was about to be launched, he wanted to sound out Chen Hao.
But… …
If he wasn't mistaken, the guy Chen Hao was talking to on the phone just now, the one called Wilson, was from Costco!
Chen Hao telling any one party would be unfair to all the others.
Since Chen Hao had rejected Wilson on the phone, it wouldn't be good for him to press the issue.
Forget it!
Anyway, it's just tomorrow.
Despite the precedent of SP4, many European and American companies are paying attention to Chuangshiji's new product.
But will it have a market?
Heaven knows!
The test method is very simple—leave it to the market!
So, before it is launched on the market, even knowing it is meaningless.
… …
Chen Hao left the laboratory and originally wanted to return to Room 502 to find those three gluttons for dinner.
As a result, calls came one after another!
Just now, in front of John, he pretended to answer Wilson's call.
Who knew Wilson would actually call.
Not only Wilson?
Many of those SP4 distributors, and even those who failed in the last bidding, called to inquire about the new product.
After Chen Hao casually ate something at a roadside stall outside the school, he went straight to Hanteng Capital.
He still cared about this variety show.
Cultural output is extremely important!
… …
At night.
Hantang Media's conference room.
A group of executives were very nervous, their eyes fixed on the 42-inch LCD TV.
Xiao Ling clenched her fists, her palms full of sweat.
"Don't be nervous."
Chen Hao smiled and said: "Our show is not just for one or two episodes, but for years."
Xiao Ling didn't say anything.
Initially, she decided to compete head-on with "Same Song."
Even though she knew that as long as a few more episodes were broadcast, it might gradually surpass it, however… …they couldn't wait for a few more episodes!
It was her decision-making error that caused it, and if it couldn't be surpassed immediately, it would be tantamount to dereliction of duty!
At eight o'clock sharp.
The screen entered the opening of The Voice of China.
The last episode was the Shanghai Region PK competition.
This episode is the Shenzhen Region.
In the entire conference room, only Chen Hao was focused on watching the show, and the other executives were very nervous, focusing on the ratings.
During that time.
Ma Teng's appearance on the field immediately increased a lot of attention.
Half an hour later.
"President Xiao!"
The assistant walked in quickly: "The current ratings… …"
1.9?
A little better than last time, but the improvement wasn't obvious.
However, when she saw this rating, Xiao Ling breathed a sigh of relief.
Only because… …
The highlight hasn't started yet!
'The first round of elimination is over, please score the instructors!'
'Starting from this episode, each region will add two special instructors!'
'Please welcome the special instructors of this region to the stage!'
… …
Besides the audience and Shengtang Media, there was another group of people paying attention to The Voice of China.
Capital, a company's conference room.
A woman with a lot of charm was watching The Voice of China.
Her name was Meng Xin.
The producer and director of "Same Song."
Even Chen Hao and Xiao Ling didn't expect that Meng Xin was not watching "Same Song", but was leading the entire crew to watch Shengtang Media's program.
"Director Meng, I think… …you're overthinking it."
A deputy director whispered.
Recently, Director Meng has been emphasizing to them to pay more attention to The Voice of China.
This program is likely to bring a huge threat!
But… …
The ratings won't lie, right?
The first broadcast of The Voice of China had a maximum rating of only 1.7, while "Same Song" was 3.2.
There's no comparison!
"Doesn't it mean that they didn't change the schedule?" Meng Xin frowned.
Didn't change the schedule.
Competing head-on!
Either the other party is stubbornly seeking death.
Or it is… …
They have confidence!
As an excellent director, she would never underestimate her opponents.
"Not changing the schedule only shows that they are not afraid of death."
"Haha… …with their level, can they compare to Director Meng?"
"Not to mention anything else! Just the instructors they invited, can their popularity compare to ours? The difference in status is too far!"
The others ridiculed their opponents one after another.
"What are the current ratings?" Meng Xin asked the assistant.
"Director Meng, our rating is 3.1, and theirs is 1.9, the gap is still very large."
"I know."
Meng Xin became more and more unhappy.
Her program dropped by 0.1, and the competitor rose by 0.2.
The gap is still very large?
But!
It was this slight change that made her feel a great sense of crisis.
This shows that the audience of "Same Song" is losing, and The Voice of China is getting stronger!
This ebb and flow.
What will happen in a few more episodes?
Suddenly!
Just as she was worried, the host of The Voice of China announced the appearance of the two special instructors of the Shenzhen Region in this episode.
'Next, please welcome the special instructors to the stage!'
'First, please invite the first special instructor to bring us a beautiful melody!'
The host stepped down.
The lights changed.
The spotlights quickly locked on a man.
'My sky is gray'
'My heart is blue'
'Touching your heart'
'Is transparent'
Instantly!
The audience was completely沸腾 (fèiténg - boiling/seething)! (excited).
"It's… …it's Xueyou (Jacky Cheung)!"
"The God of Song!"
Many viewers were so excited that they burst into tears!
《Heartbreak》.
The song released last year allowed the God of Song to win many awards, and it was even more well-known and widely sung in the mainland.
"Not good!"
Meng Xin's face turned ashen.
She was an excellent director, and her style of doing things was also very objective.
When The Voice of China was broadcast for the first time, she realized that her program had differences in many aspects, but it also had two major advantages.
First of all.
"Same Song" was broadcast at the beginning of the year and accumulated a group of old fans.
Secondly, the guests are all big names.
On the other hand, the instructors of The Voice of China are at most second-tier, or even third or fourth-tier in the music scene.
The popularity is far worse.
But now… …
The second advantage is gone!
The appearance of the God of Song greatly increased the atmosphere of the scene, and as the singing of "Heartbreak" ended, the host took the stage again.
'Please welcome the second special instructor to the stage!'
After a brief sentence, the host immediately stepped down.
Next, the stage belongs to… …
'The setting sun is boundless, it is a pity that only a moment of brilliance'
'As the clouds gradually dissipate, the lost glory will never return'
'The long years are unbearable, the changes in this life'
'Like floating clouds gathering and scattering, entwined with the weary face of vicissitudes'
Mei Jie, wearing a long dress, was like a goddess descending from the sky under the colorful lights.
Her voice is not clear and refined.
Low.
But wild.
Possessing absolute recognition!
