Crazy Entertainment System

P.S.: I went back to school today, and the train was delayed five times, for a total of more than two hours. I was originally planning to arrive at school around 2 PM, but I didn't get there until 4:30 PM. I hurriedly wrote a chapter, and now I need to pack my things. The next chapter will be updated later.

The five of them went to CCTV and met Wang Yu.

"You finally made it, kid. Let's have a rehearsal today, because the station has decided to start the CCTV Young Singers Competition by broadcasting it live from the semi-finals onwards."

"So you need to rehearse in advance," Wang Yu said.

"Live broadcast?!" Chen Yu was dumbfounded. Was this still a variety show? Didn't CCTV worry about bugs appearing? This would seriously damage CCTV's reputation.

"That's right, it's a live broadcast. Actually, this matter has something to do with you. Last time you sued so many media outlets, which made our program famous. Many people were looking forward to it, so after discussion, the station decided to be bold and innovate by doing a live broadcast. In addition, the way to advance will no longer be decided by the audience on site, but by the votes of the off-site audience and the decision of the on-site judges."

Off-site voting counts as one vote out of 10,000 votes, and there are two methods: online voting and SMS voting.

The online voting is conducted through three platforms: Weibo, Baidu, and Tencent. All are officially organized.

"The problem is, you're the owner of Weibo. If we use Weibo for voting, it will definitely raise questions from the public," Wang Yu explained.

"That's easy. My vote count will be the average of the highest and lowest votes. Of course, if I'm in the top three, then we'll proceed according to normal logic. What do you think?" Chen Yu said after thinking for a moment.

"That's one way, but it still won't shut some people up." Wang Yu was quite annoyed by this problem; Weibo was owned by Chen Yu.

"Please have a third-party notarized statement!" Chen Yu said, seeing Wang Yu still hesitating. She didn't want to miss this opportunity to promote Weibo, so she immediately said it.

"Third-party notarization?!" Wang Yu was stunned; he had never really thought of that.

When Chen Yu brought it up, it was indeed a very good option.

“That’s a good idea, but you’ll need to cover part of the notarization fees!” Wang Yu said.

“No problem. Weibo will contribute 20 yuan to notarize all online voting, so Baidu and Tencent will also need to contribute 20 yuan for notarization fees. I believe 60 yuan is enough for the notarization fees.” Chen Yu’s words also subtly told Wang Yu that the production team should not try to make money from this. Everyone is sensible and cannot be too ruthless.

"60 should be enough, and if it's not enough, the production team will cover the rest."

"But seriously, you're pretty impressive, aren't you? You've amassed 4000 million users in less than half a month." Wang Yu said with a hint of envy.

"Director Wang, I didn't play a big role in this. I leave the company's affairs to professional managers. My job is to handle entertainment. That's my main responsibility," Chen Yu said with a smile.

"Alright. I'd also like to discuss cooperation with you!" Wang Yu said.

"You should talk to Gao Feiyan about the collaboration. We agreed that she would be in charge of operations. If I interfere, she might get angry and quit, and I'll be the one who suffers," Chen Yu said with a smile.

The sponsorship fee for the CCTV Young Singers Competition was not a small amount. Although the CCTV Young Singers Competition supported Weibo behind the scenes, it was not enough for Weibo to give full play to its promotion.

Given Weibo's current appeal and influence, a full-scale promotion would require at least 300 million yuan.

As for the exact amount, that needs to be discussed by professionals.

The production team arranged hotel accommodations for us. Since it was a live broadcast, we needed a few days to get used to each other.

"Live broadcast on the 22nd, rehearsal only on the 20th!" Chen Yu had to admire the production team's audacity.

"Chen Yu, you still haven't told us what song you're going to sing?!" After seeing Wang Yu off, the group waited in the lounge, and Jiang Meixue asked.

“Yes!” Mengmeng and the others chimed in, also curious about what song Chen Yu would sing.

“It’s a campus folk song called ‘My Deskmate’,” Chen Yu said.

"My Deskmate?! Chen Yu, you were in love with your deskmate before?!" Wang Yali asked. Chen Yu immediately sensed something was wrong. This woman was too sensitive.

The song title was just mentioned, and people are already starting to have doubts.

"Would you believe me if I said I've never had a crush?! But that was all in elementary school. I remember sitting next to a really pretty girl in my class when I was in fourth grade. I was so happy and excited, but I don't know if it was love. In fifth grade, we were separated into different classes, and we rarely saw each other anymore. After sixth grade, when I went to junior high, I heard nothing from her. Of course, since then, none of my deskmates have been girls. They're all guys, young and old. I can't help it, my height just puts me at the bottom of the class." Chen Yu explained with a light smile.

When she heard Chen Yu say that the girl he liked was his fourth-grade deskmate, her gaze softened.

"Sing it for us, please?!" Jiang Meixue was very curious about what Chen Yu's original song would be like.

"No, I can't let you hear it!" Chen Yu shook his head.

"Why?!" Jiang Meixue asked, dissatisfied. The others were also curious and looked at him questioningly.

"There's no reason why, I just don't want to sing~" Chen Yu said arrogantly.

"Yali~" Jiang Meixue turned her attention directly to Wang Yali, and the moment she uttered that coquettish tone, Chen Yu felt a chill run down his spine.

Looking at Wang Yali's expression, Chen Yu knew that Yali had betrayed him.

"Don't say anything more, I'm going to the restroom!" Chen Yu made an excuse and walked out.

It wasn't that Chen Yu didn't want to sing, but he was afraid that someone would spread the word, since they weren't the only ones in the room.

If word gets out, all the agreements I made with Wang Yu will be for nothing.

When Wang Yu received Chen Yu's song "My Deskmate," he was immediately surprised. As the assistant director of the CCTV Young Singers Competition, he had the discernment to judge whether a song was good or not.

Moreover, with a professional band providing evaluation, the results are easily obtained.

The answer given is a classic song that is no less than "Fairy Tale," "The Only One," and "The Heart of a Child Chasing Dreams."

The release of this song is bound to spark a campus craze.

This made the CCTV Young Singers Competition take it seriously, as the emergence of a good original song can make a significant contribution to increasing viewership.

However, it is essential to maintain secrecy before the birth. Chen Yu was instructed not to sing this song in front of outsiders.

"Why do you think he was so reluctant to sing this song?!" Mengmeng asked curiously, watching Chen Yu flee in panic.

"I don't know, maybe there's some unspeakable reason, but it doesn't seem like it. It's just a song, could it be that it's subject to some kind of restriction?!" Jiang Meixue said, frowning.

"Restrictions?! What restrictions could there be? Do you expect me to sign a confidentiality agreement with the production team?" Mengmeng pouted.

But her words surprised everyone.

Confidentiality Agreement!

It must be this one.

What song is it that requires a confidentiality agreement?

"Why are you all reacting like that?!" Mengmeng hadn't quite caught on yet, and looked at her best friends in surprise.
