Starting with Super Girl, he began to train the Chinese entertainment industry.

Chapter 68: You just sing, the great scholars will debate the classics.
In the Chinese music scene of the new millennium, talent reigned supreme.

But the sudden emergence of Super Girl loosened this "ironclad rule," and Wang Peng realized that being a singer didn't actually require much talent.

All you need is fans.

These fans are like leeks, they keep growing back after being harvested.

Now, Li Yuchun is the sickle that Wang Peng has his eye on for harvesting leeks, and it's already quite sharp, ready to be used at any time.

As for Ji Minjia and He Jie, they were just so-so.
Wang Peng wasn't very optimistic.

If other companies want them, they can just take them away, saving the companies the money to train them.

Zhou Bichang has some talent and a decent number of fans. She could stay with the company and be nurtured; she should be able to earn some money that way.

Past life~
Their experiences prove this point.

He Jie was transferred to Strange Quark for 80 yuan in 2009...

In order to break free from her contract with EE-Media, Ji Minjia enrolled in the KJzzb Art Troupe and used a government-issued epaulette to force EE-Media to release her, creating a record of zero compensation for Super Girl contract termination.

Li Yuchun was held firmly in Tianyu's hands for 10 years, until they squeezed every last drop out of him before he agreed to terminate his contract.

……

now.

meeting room.

Wang Peng took out four supplementary agreements, three of which were very thin and one was very thick. He gave the thick one to Li Yuchun.

"You sign the agreement first, then I'll talk to you."

"Mr. Wang, didn't we already sign a contract a few days ago?"

"He Jie! I'm not here to discuss this with you. If you don't sign, you can leave now, and you'll have to bear the consequences yourself."

Wang Peng slammed his fist on the table and roared.

Xia Qing was startled and said somewhat displeasedly, "President Wang, calm down, they are still children."

Wang Peng didn't say anything more.

But his face turned bright red, and he looked very angry.

In tonight's match, Li Yuchun was completely outmatched by Zhang Liangying, which made him very unhappy. Now that He Jie is walking right into the line of fire, it's no wonder he won't give him a pleasant look.

He Jie also had unspeakable suffering.

From the moment they signed their first contract, their fate was controlled by EE-Media, and they risked being sidelined if they disobeyed.

Even if a singer is sidelined for a year, they are likely to become outdated, let alone He Jie and the others who signed contracts for 8-10 years.

I dare not gamble!
They dared not refuse to sign.

The four girls signed their names with solemn expressions. Wang Peng put away the contract and immediately smiled.

"That's right. If you follow the company's lead, the company won't treat you unfairly. After the competition ends at the end of the month, I'll release an album for each of you..."

"When the album sales exceed one million, surpassing many veteran singers, you will become big stars in no time."

"Do you think I'm bragging? Haha, I'll hire the best music producers in the country to tailor-make an album just for you."

"And all you have to do is follow my instructions..."

"Never be like Zhang Liangying, who thinks she's got some talent and is arrogant. I'm telling you, Zhang Liangying will never become famous without Tianyu Media. I'll eat my hat if she ever does..."

"Damn it, some guy who doesn't even know his own limitations thinks he can do whatever he wants just because he can sing a few original songs."

"You four, try your best to eliminate her in the next round."

what?
You mean, the four of us will eliminate Zhang Liangying?
Li Yuchun's lips twitched, her head felt a little itchy, as if it was about to grow a brain. "Does President Wang mean to use my singing and dancing to eliminate her?"

……

The meeting lasted for half an hour before it ended. Wang Peng then kept Li Yuchun behind and made her a big promise.

"Yuchun, the three of them are gone. I'll let you in on a secret: this year's champion is definitely yours, don't worry!"

"We at Tianyu will focus on developing you. In the future, you will be Tianyu's number one female star."

"Remember! You must be obedient. I, Wang Peng, like obedient artists the most. Whoever is obedient, I will focus on cultivating."

"Once the competition ends in August, I'll get you in touch with the famous music producer Xiao Ke and have him produce an album for you that far surpasses Zhang Liangying's!"

"..."

After a few persuasive words, Li Yuchun blushed and became breathless. "Thank you, President Wang, thank you so much. I will definitely listen to you and always stand with the company."

Wang Peng nodded: "Go ahead, work hard, and try to eliminate Zhang Liangying in the next round."

Upon hearing this, Li Yuchun staggered and almost lost her balance.

……

While Wang Peng was making promises to the contestants, online forums and other platforms were buzzing with excitement. The loudest voices, of course, came from the fans of Liangfen (a popular Chinese female streamer).

Because of these two competitions, Zhang Liangying advanced with a completely overwhelming advantage, overshadowing the other contestants.

Of course, Li Yuchun's fans are also incredibly resilient, always fighting on the front lines of the forum, passionately engaging in online battles with her fans.

So what if she doesn't have any original works or great singing skills? Our Yu Chun is handsome and cool! Can Zhang Liangying compare? We love singers like Li Yu Chun!!!
When the corn fans can't win an argument, they start resorting to sophistry!
In the end, the fans stopped paying attention to them and began to refocus their attention on a few 'in-depth analysis posts'—[Some superficial interpretations of "Once Upon a Time," Shen Qing isn't trying to make us happy!]

I spent two and a half hours studying "Once Upon a Time" and discovered a shocking secret. Let me tell you all about it...

Therefore, Shen Qing's song is not themed around joy, but rather follows in the same vein as "Farewell," "Father's Prose Poem," and "When You Are Old," possessing intellectual depth... He aims to metaphorically represent the shackles of reality through the deconstruction of fairy tales, and to remind people to pursue truth, goodness, and beauty while staying away from evil and filth...

Shen Qing is truly a genius!

[He actually came up with such lyrics, and the composition is amazing too. The melody is beautiful, with both a fairytale feel and a touch of melancholy.]

There were over 300 replies below the post.

Some people left comments like "Awesome!" and left, some gave a thumbs up, and others offered serious analysis, making it quite a lively scene.

Also.

The post about "When You Are Old" also garnered considerable attention.

……

As time went on, by the second day, the "[In-depth analysis of Fairy Tale Town]" post had reached over 3000 views, attracting many casual viewers from other forums.

They've practically raved about "Once Upon a Time," offering over a dozen interpretations, each seemingly making some sense.

That's outrageous!
Shen Qing: As expected, after entering the pass, great Confucian scholars will come to explain the classics to me.

……

Reporters from portal websites such as Sina, Sohu, and NetEase simply copied and pasted the comments and posted them on their websites.

Some netizens who were unaware of the situation were shocked when they saw the post.

"Holy crap, this song actually means this? Shen Qing is amazing!"

"This is a fairy tale for us adults."

"Zhang Liangying sings amazingly, but Shen Qing writes even more amazingly. I'm going to watch the competition next week, and I hope Shen Qing will release some more awesome songs."

Also.

In an effort to demonstrate its loyalty to CCTV, Hunan TV once again mobilized its media matrix to launch a massive promotional campaign for "When You Are Old".

Two songs praising parents in a row directly increased the favorability of the bigwigs in charge of cultural propaganda at the top.

These leaders, who were originally prejudiced against "Super Girl," are now saying nothing more.

Because "Father's Prose Poems" and "When You Are Old" are so positive, people of their age feel them much more deeply than younger people.

Zhang Yimou, who was preparing for "Curse of the Golden Flower", sighed deeply several times when he heard "The Prose Poem Written by My Father" during his lunch break.

Zhang Jizhong, who was filming "The Return of the Condor Heroes", was also attracted by Zhang Liangying's voice, and the idea of ​​having Zhang Liangying sing the theme song gradually took shape.

……

Time flies, and a few days have passed in the blink of an eye.

Shen Qing and Zhang Liangying have been working intensely these past few days, writing songs, arranging music, practicing singing, and recording. They even hired bel canto and opera teachers from the Sichuan Conservatory of Music for one-on-one instruction, and they've barely had any rest.

The closer it got to the end, the more excited I became.

As for Wang Peng's meeting with Li Yuchun and the other three, Shen Qing and Liang Ying already knew about it from Ji Minjia.

Ji Minjia is a smart person. She knows that she can't win the championship or runner-up, or even make it into the top three, and has no competition with Zhang Liangying.

Therefore, she always wanted to get closer to Jane Zhang.

The next day, she secretly told Zhang Liangying about it.

And Liangying told Shen Qing immediately.

Shen Qing: "In the 5-to-3 round and the final, Wang Peng will definitely make the judges eliminate you. Even if the judges guarantee your advancement, on the day of the final, Wang Peng will manipulate the SMS votes to make Li Yuchun win the championship."

Jane Zhang: "Hehe, it's okay, I'm not sad. I don't want to be the champion. I'd be happy to sing your songs for the rest of my life."

Shen Qing: "It's no longer about who's the champion and who's the runner-up, it's about saving face. If we lose this time, how will Li Yuchun's fans mock us? Wang Peng will also buy media articles to smear us."

Zhang Liangying's heart clenched.

So what should I do...

She held Shen Qing's hand, wanting to say a few words of comfort, but didn't know how, and Shen Qing held her hand back.

"Liangying, there's only one way now: crush Li Yuchun with absolute strength, defeat capital with talent, and make everyone recognize that you, Zhang Liangying, are the true champion!"

"Those songs I wrote will definitely be a hit!!"
