237: Chapter 237 "The Singer & Lyricist" - The Finale

Back in the creative room, Chen Shaoping looked at Wang Bo and Zhou Bule, finally deciding to bring out a song suitable for Wang Bo to sing.

"System, exchange for the song 'a fire in winter'."

[Congratulations to the Host for spending 1 paparazzi point to successfully exchange for the song 'a fire in winter'.]

[Host's Current paparazzi points: 66]

Afterward, he sat in his chair and spent three minutes writing the song down.

He pressed the button to submit the song.

Immediately, a mechanical prompt sounded throughout the broadcasting hall.

"Creative Room No. 6 is the first to submit a song, with a time of 3 minutes and 1 second.

There is plenty of time remaining. Would the contestants in the other four creative rooms please not be affected by this and focus on delivering your best performance."

The audience and judges were all stunned; the style of the prompt had actually changed.

Knowing they couldn't compete on time, it was reminding the other contestants to find a way to compete on quality.

Chen Shaoping didn't react at all. Even if the others spent until the very last minute polishing their songs before submitting, he wouldn't care.

Although Wang Bo and Zhou Bule were used to this, they were still shocked.

When Chen Shaoping wrote songs, it was as if he didn't need to think at all.

"Second Bo, you'll sing this one. Sing it well."

"Who knows, the Spring Festival Gala might actually invite you to sing this song."

Chen Shaoping handed the song to Wang Bo and gave him a reminder.

Wang Bo took it with a smile and patted his chest in guarantee. "Don't worry, Da Ping. I guarantee we'll still be number one."

Singing was the easiest; it was much easier than acting.

Whether it was filming promotional videos or acting on set recently, he had felt it was all too difficult.

"I'm going to practice the song."

"Mm, alright."

"President Chen, I'll go with Brother Bo."

Zhou Bule followed Wang Bo out. He didn't want to stay in the creative room with Chen Shaoping; he really wasn't good at sitting in meditation.

Even though he wasn't the one singing, recording and practicing songs was much more interesting.

Once the two left, Chen Shaoping sat alone in the creative room. He had intended to meditate, but his phone kept 'dinging'.

He took out his phone and saw that the "eating meat together" group was chatting lively.

Xu Jing: "According to our team's estimates, the production cost for the movie 'once upon a time in china' is between 6.5 to 7.5 million.

If the three leaders have no objections, let's discuss the investment amounts."

Yang Mi replied almost instantly.

Yang Mi: "Let's go with 7.5 million. This is our first movie, so we should hold it to higher standards.

It must be an instant hit. Also: My Jiaxing Media will invest 4.5 million."

Zhou Ru: "I have no problem with 7.5 million, but President Yang, isn't your investment amount a bit high?"

Yang Mi: "How is it high? It's not high at all. If it weren't for a certain someone disagreeing, I'd have wanted to invest the whole thing myself.

@Chen Shaoping Don't just stare at the screen without replying. Your every move is under my control."

Looking at the messages, Chen Shaoping knew this girl was following the "the singer & songwriter" program.

He glanced up and then his hands flew across the phone screen as he typed.

Chen Shaoping: "Investment amounts will be: Yang Mi 2.5 million, Zhou Ru and I 2 million each, and Xu Jing 1 million."

At Tudi Cinema City, Zhou Ru immediately replied after reading.

Zhou Ru: "I agree with President Chen's distribution!"

Yang Mi: "Why is mine less?"

Xu Jing: "Mine is even less! I don't agree!"

Chen Shaoping: "@Xu Jing, from the moment you received the script, you stated more than once that you could provide the investment costs by the second or at latest the third day.

What day is it now?"

Chen Shaoping: "Originally, I didn't plan to let you invest, but considering it's the first time, I can understand. I'm reducing your investment share as a punishment."

Yang Mi: "I agree with President Chen's decision. Without rules, there is no order. A punishment is indeed necessary."

Zhou Ru: "Agreed!"

Xu Jing: "..."

Xu Jing: "I accept."

Chen Shaoping: "Then the investment amounts are settled. The funds must reach the designated account by the end of tomorrow's workday. Any objections?"

Zhou Ru: "No problem!"

Yang Mi: "No problem!"

Xu Jing: "No problem!"

After all three replied with no problem, Chen Shaoping continued.

Chen Shaoping: "Director Xu, can you film another movie? You never got back to me on that."

Zhou Ru: "President Chen, if you have extra scripts and the alliance can't film them in time, we can cooperate."

Chen Shaoping: "Let's talk about that privately."

Xu Jing: "I can film it, but I suggest doing a romance movie."

Yang Mi: "Romance movies are good."

Zhou Ru: "Yes, yes!"

Chen Shaoping grumbled inwardly.

You guys look down on gambling movies? I'll film it myself later, and don't you get jealous when the time comes.

"System, exchange for the movie script 'Lost in the Stars'."

[Host spent 14 paparazzi points to successfully exchange for the script 'Lost in the Stars']

Right after exchanging, Chen Shaoping sent the script to the group.

Chen Shaoping: "Hurry up and decide if you want to film this."

Aside from Zhou Ru replying once, the other two didn't respond to him.

The group chat went silent instantly.

Soon, contestants from other creative rooms began submitting their songs one after another.

When the Taiwan duo from the fourth broadcast room finally submitted their song, it was announced that today's creative phase was complete.

The Host, Nige, took the stage with a face full of smiles.

"Good evening to the audience here, the audience in front of their TVs, and the audience in the livestream!

Tonight's episode will be the final one of this season's 'the singer & songwriter'.

The program was originally scheduled for six episodes, but because we gave up one slot for the National Day Gala, our first season only has five episodes.

For that, I would like to apologize to everyone.

However, even though this season is about to say goodbye to everyone, the show is still very exciting with many highlights.

For example: Can the Young Master Ping duo from Creative Room 6 make history and take all the championships this season? Let's wait and see.

If they take the championship again tonight, they will set a record in the history of Dragon Country's music variety competition programs by having one person (or group) sweep all the titles.

Now, let's welcome today's first performing contestant, Qu Yang."

The song Qu Yang performed was called 'Auspiciousness'.

He was dressed all in red, accompanied by a group of children as backup dancers. The resulting effect was indeed perfectly aligned with the song's title.

In the end, he received a good score of 146 votes.

Next on stage was Taiwan, who had been the last to submit their song.

However, their performance was very poor, even being described as 'terrible' by several judges.

They only received 122 votes in the end.

Zheng Wenfang's performance was also just mediocre—better than the Taiwan duo, but not by much.

She received 133 votes.

Chen Shaoping gently stroked his chin, guessing that the reason for their poor performance might be that they didn't understand the significance of the Spring Festival Gala to people in the Mainland.

This caused their conceptual approach to be a bit off.

Next to appear was the Huang Wenxing duo, who received 138 votes.

The judges' evaluation was: It was too noisy, which actually detracted from the festive theme.

Wang Bo was the last to take the stage.

He wore a red suit, a bowtie, and shiny leather shoes.

His hair was combed neatly and specially styled.

At a glance, he looked exquisite, clean, sunny, and handsome.
