Chapter 281 Notification of the Grand Finals
Shen Yuege acted immediately.
She first called the "Super Girl" program team.
The person who answered the phone was her assistant, Xiao Wang, whose voice sounded somewhat tired.
With the finals postponed, the contestants have been busy with their own things. The stage has been set up but has been sitting there, and the sponsors' materials are gathering dust in the warehouse. This has caused Xiao Wang, Shen Yuege's assistant, a lot of worry.
Originally, it was thought that the event could be held soon, but unexpectedly, Shen Yuege started to take care of her family again, and the company's affairs were directly handed over to her.
"President Shen?" Xiao Wang's voice suddenly rose. "Is it...?"
"The finals are next weekend," Shen Yuege said succinctly. "Can you handle it?"
After a moment of silence on the other end of the phone, a series of crashing sounds came through, as if someone had jumped up from a chair and knocked something over.
"Yes! Of course!" Xiao Wang's voice trembled with excitement. "I'll inform everyone right away! The stage, lighting, and sound system will all be in place within three days! As for the contestants..."
"I'll inform the contestants," Shen Yuege said. "You should arrange what you're doing first. By the way, there are some special arrangements for this final, I'll let you know in advance."
"clear!"
After hanging up the phone, Shen Yuege leaned back on the sofa and rubbed her temples.
Lu Ran, watching her from the side, couldn't help but laugh: "Your phone call is probably going to cause an uproar over there."
"Let's just blow it up then." Shen Yuege rolled her eyes at him. "It's better than this lifeless place."
Recently, she has indeed paid less attention to Xingyue Studio, to the point that the entire studio has lost its motivation.
She opened her contacts, found Lin Xiaoxi's number, and dialed it.
The phone rang three times, then I answered it.
"Sister Yuege?" Lin Xiaoxi's voice sounded somewhat surprised. The background noise was a bit noisy, and the laughter of children and the voices of adults could be faintly heard.
"Little Stream, what are you busy with?"
"I'm helping out at the resettlement site back home," Lin Xiaoxi said. "I draw and sing with the children. After the earthquake, many children were afraid to be alone, so I came to keep them company."
Shen Yuege felt a warmth in her heart. She hadn't misjudged this girl after all.
"The finals are next weekend, will you be able to make it back?"
Without hesitation, Lin Xiaoxi's voice rose eight octaves on the other end of the phone: "The finals? Are we going to hold them?!"
"Yes. And this isn't an ordinary competition; I'll tell you the details later. First, tell me if you can make it back in time?"
"Yes! Of course!" Lin Xiaoxi's voice was filled with barely suppressed excitement. "I'll book the tickets tomorrow! No, I'll book them today!"
"Okay. Send me a message when you get to Shanghai, I have something to tell you."
"Mmm! Sister Yuege, thank you for still thinking of me."
"Nonsense. You're a player, who else would I be thinking about if not you?"
After hanging up the phone, Shen Yuege dialed Su Qian's number again.
Su Qian responded quickly, her voice calm, but a hint of anticipation could be detected in her tone: "Sister Yuege, is there any news about the finals?"
How did you know?
"I guessed." Su Qian chuckled, a rare occurrence. "I've been waiting all this time. Things have settled down in the disaster area, and I'm thinking about when I can go back and continue the competition."
"Next weekend. Can you come back?"
"Yes. I'll leave tomorrow."
"Okay. By the way, there might be a group song after the finals that requires your participation. I'm letting you know in advance so you're not too worried."
Su Qian was taken aback: "A duet? What song?"
"It was written by Lu Ran. We'll discuss the details when you arrive."
Su Qian's voice on the other end of the phone was noticeably different, more serious than before: "The song written by President Lu... I must prepare well."
Shen Yuege smiled and said, "Okay, contact me when you arrive."
Next came Zhou Wan, Zhang Xinyi, Zhao Yiman, Chen Xue... one call after another was made, and everyone's reaction was similar - first surprise, then excitement, and finally, an unwavering statement that they would definitely come back.
None of the top ten contestants said no.
After all, thanks to this show, they have jumped from being unknown singers to having the strength of second-tier singers.
For them, this show is the biggest stage they've ever had.
Some people are still volunteering in the disaster area, some have returned to their hometowns to be with their families, and some have stayed in Shanghai to wait for news.
But upon hearing the news that the finals were going to be held, everyone agreed immediately.
After finishing all the calls, Shen Yuege let out a long sigh and leaned back on the sofa.
Lu Ran handed him a glass of water: "Thank you for your hard work."
"This is nothing," Shen Yuege said, taking a sip of water. "There's still a lot to do later."
"There's one more thing," Lu Ran said. "You can also call over those new talents you signed before."
Shen Yuege thought for a moment, then nodded after realizing what she meant.
After Star Moon Studio was established, she did sign several promising newcomers.
Some of them performed well in the audition stage of "Super Girl" but failed to make it into the top ten, while others were discovered through other channels.
Although they haven't officially debuted yet, they all have a good foundation. With proper training, they might just become successful.
"You mean...let them join the chorus too?"
"Yes." Lu Ran nodded. "This is an opportunity. Singing with so many senior artists is more effective for them than taking countless vocal lessons. And..." He paused, "This can also be considered a collective debut for Xingyue Studio."
Shen Yuege thought about it and felt that it made sense.
"Then I'll call Xu Manxue first." She picked up her phone. "She said she wanted to go to the disaster area, but I stopped her. She should still be in Shanghai now."
Xu Manxue answered the phone very quickly.
"Tsuki-go? What's up?" The voice was languid, sounding like someone lying at home.
Are you coming to the Super Girl finals next weekend?
"Come on!" Xu Manxue's voice suddenly perked up. "I've been waiting for this! Will you be a judge or a guest?"
"None of those," Shen Yuege laughed. "Lu Ran wrote a duet song that we'll be singing in the finals. He wants to invite artists from several companies, and you're one of them."
On the other end of the phone, Xu Manxue's voice carried a hint of disbelief: "A song Lu Ran wrote? For me to sing?"
"It's for everyone. Of course, you're one of them."
"Then I definitely have to go!" Xu Manxue's voice was filled with undisguised excitement. "It's a song written by Lu Ran! That's... cough cough, I mean, since it's a charity event, of course I have to participate."
Since her first song, Xu Manxue has gradually gained some fame in the music industry.
You could even say that Lu Ran was like a second parent to her, making her shine.
Therefore, Xu Manxue has high expectations for Lu Ran's song.
Hearing Xu Manxue's voice, Shen Yuege knew that Xu Manxue was very excited, and couldn't help but laugh: "Alright, alright, stop pretending. Come to rehearsal early, and I'll let you know the specific time."
"No problem! I'll be there whenever you need me!"
After hanging up the phone, Shen Yuege waved her phone at Lu Ran: "Done. Xu Manxue was so excited when she heard that you wrote the song that she almost jumped out of bed."
Lu Ran was both amused and exasperated: "Why is she so excited? It wasn't written just for her."
"Don't you understand?" Shen Yuege raised an eyebrow. "What's your status in the music industry right now? The songs you write are a golden brand. So many people want to sing them but can't."
