Shattering the talent show script, sweeping the world film scene

After the third ranking was announced, preparations for the fourth performance officially began. Half of the contestants left the camp, and Class G, which used to have a full 7 members, now only had Jiangxi Heng, Chi Ziyou, and Fang Weiyang left.

Zhan Jingxuan, Huang Qi, and others who had mocked Jiangxi Heng ultimately became losers. They had no chance to transform themselves and left the building, which resembled a cocoon, late at night with their bags on their backs.

After the class reorganization, the 22 contestants were divided into three classes: A, B, and G. Jiangxi Heng went to class A, Chi Ziyou and Fang Weiyang were still in class G, and Xie Xingyan was still in class B. So when the song selection process came out, the four of them were assigned to three different areas.

Shi Chongyu, dressed in a suit, walked into the hall, looked at the ABG group in front of him, and said, "The songs for the fourth public performance and the competition rules have all been released."

The contestants held their breath, and the closer they got to the finals, the more tense the atmosphere became in the camp.

In the last round, some people would relax on their day off before choosing songs, but this time no one dared to waste time.

"The 22 contestants in this round will be divided into two original song teams, each with five members; and three singing and dancing teams, each with four members..."

Jiangxi Heng listened carefully, and when he heard that there were two original teams, he slightly curled his lips.

He's not particularly competitive in this industry, but he's quite vengeful; he said he'd knock Yang Tianhang out, and he meant it.

This time, Yang Tianhang only ranked ninth, which suggests that the production team has already made a decision.

Jiangxi Heng lowered his head and thought to himself, "Unfortunately, despite all the scheming of the production team, they couldn't have predicted that his position was waiting to be replaced by Xie Xingyan."

"Aren't you all curious about which songs we'll be using this time?"

Apart from Jiangxi Heng, all the contestants were curious.

In the previous round, because the theme was limited to "traditional Chinese style," the characteristics of each song weren't very distinct. But this time, Shi Zhongyu pressed play and introduced, "The first song is 'Play Game,' a Western rock song. Needless to say, it's one of the must-listen English songs in one's lifetime, and it's extremely popular..."

Wow, it's this song?! A must-have for hiking and running, it's a song that will rock the stage! If this is the first song performed, how are the rest of the songs supposed to be performed?!

[It's this English song! The production team really went all out; the copyright fee for this song must be top-tier.]

This world places great importance on copyright, and any cover song with a profit-making purpose must pay copyright fees in advance.

Copyright fees are divided into three tiers: high, medium, and low, which include differences of one million, one hundred thousand, and ten thousand.

In order to raise enough money for filming in a short period of time after leaving the camp, Jiangxi Heng specifically looked into the sales standards for cover song copyrights, preparing to sell "Mantuo Villa" and his upcoming new song for a sum of money.

Unfortunately, he and Xie Xingyan were not famous enough, so although "Mantuo Villa" became popular on stage, the price of the song did not increase. They could only hope that his fame would rise to another level in these fifteen days.

How many followers do I have now?

Answer in 4399 seconds: [We've surpassed 500,000 followers on Weibo!]

Jiangxi Heng exclaimed in surprise, "So fast?" He had previously said he only had 10,000 followers, and now he has 500,000?

4399: [He gained tens of thousands of fans by crossing the Dingyong River, over a hundred thousand fans by saving someone on the highway, and over two hundred thousand fans by the CP hype with Xie Xingyan. After the performance of "Mantuo Villa" went viral, his fan count exceeded 500,000.]

4399 added: 【Xie Xingyan has more fans than you, she already has a million fans~】

Jiangxi Heng was silent for a few seconds: "Then why is his ranking still behind mine?"

4399 pulled out the data: [Sigh, there's nothing we can do. His fans don't have much purchasing power; 80% of them are students, while your fans are mostly working adults who are willing to spend money on you!]

Jiangxi Heng nodded slightly.

4399 rubbing hands: [Host, your civilization value has been slowly increasing these days, which means that more and more people are listening to the song "Mantuo Manor". You can exchange for B-grade and C-grade songs. Do you have any songs you like?]

"But there's still Grade A, isn't there?"

In the system's store, movies and TV shows are generally more expensive than songs, and S-level works are more expensive than ABC-level songs.

Even the cheapest S-level songs require over 10,000 civilization points.

A-level songs cost around 5,000 to 10,000; B-level songs cost around 1,000 to 5,000; and C-level songs cost less than 1,000.

Jiangxi Heng has 7788 civilization points, which can be used to purchase A-level songs in the 7,000 tier.

4399 scratches head: [Host, aren't you going to save up some civilization points? We'll need to buy even more expensive movie scripts after we leave the camp.]

Jiangxi Heng does not reject systematic and meticulous planning, but he also has his own plans.

"No rush, I'll make these two songs popular again before I leave camp... and buy an A-level song."

4399's chubby little hand: [What type do you want?]

Jiangxi Heng focused his attention on Shi Zhongyu and the large screen behind him; the three songs had already been introduced.

They are the rock English song "Play Game", the hit Korean boy band song "Upon", and the classic Japanese anime theme song "Butterfly Wings".

Shi Chongyu, holding the microphone, smiled and said, "This time, the production team spent a lot of money to buy three foreign language songs. We hope everyone can take this opportunity to try more musical styles. As for the two original teams, given how strong the competition's songs are, there are no restrictions on your creations this time!"

Even with Shi Zhongyu's words, the contestants were still somewhat wary of the two original teams' names.

Who can stand up to these three songs and be confident that their creations won't make them look foolish on stage?

Yang Tianhang, his face pale, hid in the crowd, his palms icy cold and trembling.

The songs the company bought for him were utter garbage compared to these three; he couldn't possibly present them. Yet, he positioned himself as a songwriter and even made a promise during his initial performance that he would insist on creating original works for every stage he performed here…

Wait, he's really stupid.

The original song team's opponent is the original song team, not the team with these three songs!

At most, it'll just make us sound worse in comparison. As long as we beat the other group, isn't that enough?

Just as this thought came to mind, cheers erupted from the contestants. It turned out that Gu Zhoubai, the first-place winner, had chosen the Original A Group!

Gu's fans were extremely anxious.

[What's wrong with Xiaobai? He speaks Korean and Japanese, weren't those two songs tailor-made for him? Why is he in the original song group?]

[Do they even know how to choose? They have three excellent songs to choose from, but instead pick an original song group with no future?]

Others win at the starting line, but you stumble at the starting line...

[Laughing, laughing, still grinning like that! We finally got you in first place, and you have to cause trouble!]

Shi Chongyu showed just the right amount of surprise and asked, "Zhou Bai, why did you choose an original team?"

Gu Zhoubai placed his hands on the sign, flashing a bright smile that revealed his pearly white teeth, and said, "I've made an appointment with Jiangxi Heng to collaborate on this one! I trust him!"

The contestants' eyes immediately fell on Jiangxi Heng.
