With just a few casual words, I've swept the music scene.

The first episode of "The Strongest Newcomer King" caused a sensation as soon as it aired.

Of course, in terms of program quality, it is far inferior to "The Voice of China", but the problem is that they have Jing Song and Ran Xin!

These two have already accumulated a considerable number of fans. With the generous support of Yuting Culture, although they are still contestants, they are already comparable to top singers in the music industry and have great appeal!

With the addition of their hit songs, the ratings for "The Strongest Newcomer King" soared, almost rivaling those of "The Voice of China"!

Many companies that were scrambling for advertising slots on "The Voice of China" immediately turned around and started contacting "The Strongest Newcomer".

Wang Lei panicked immediately and rushed to Fanfu Culture to find Wang Ke. He immediately said, "This can't go on! Mr. Fan, you can't always think about using the other party's strength to promote your singers. You also have to consider our program!"

Wang Ke smiled and said, "No need to rush, I've already sent a lawyer's letter."

"A lawyer's letter?" Wang Lei was taken aback.

"Program formats are also subject to copyright," Wang Ke said casually. "Although the Chinese people's awareness of copyright is not high, it is clearly stated in the law. 'The Strongest Newcomer King' blatantly disregards laws and regulations and plagiarizes our program format ideas. This is courting disaster. Why are we in such a hurry?"

"This...this works too?" Wang Lei looked stunned.

Wang Ke simply pulled out the copyright law to show him, and Wang Lei looked at it with surprise: "You know what, it really is! But even I, who works in television programs, don't really understand it..."

“Whether he knows it or not is not important,” Wang Ke said. “Even if a murderer tells the judge that he did not know that murder was illegal, the judge will still sentence him to death.”

He chuckled and said, "I knew they might pull this stunt, so I registered the copyright for the show at the very beginning! Want to copy me? Sure! Pay me to buy my copyright and get my authorization, then you can copy me as much as you want! But without authorization, you're plagiarizing! You'll have to wait for legal punishment!"

"You've really blown us away!" Wang Lei couldn't help but exclaim. "President Fan, I'm completely impressed! You're incredibly meticulous in everything you do!"

Wang Ke smiled faintly.

Do you know what price I paid to achieve this perfect, watertight management?

That day, Yuting Culture was celebrating with champagne.

A group of executives surrounded Zhuo Tao, showering him with flattery:

"President Zhuo was truly farsighted! If it weren't for President Zhuo's strong opposition back then, we wouldn't have achieved such a great victory today!"

"Exactly! Some people even questioned President Zhuo back then; they were really brainless!"

"President Zhuo is a genius at producing variety shows! We are so lucky to be able to work with such a genius!"

Zhuo Tao looked smug, thoroughly enjoying the flattery, yet feigning humility:

"This credit belongs to everyone; I was merely coordinating everyone's opinions. Come on, let's raise a glass together to celebrate 'The Strongest Newcomer King' reclaiming the throne!"

Everyone gathered around, raised their glasses together, and smiled broadly.

At this moment, Jingsong and Ranxin walked in together.

Zhuo Tao hurriedly went over to greet them personally and shook hands with the two of them warmly.

"Mr. Zhuo, what brings you here?" Jing Song asked.

Zhuo Tao smiled and said, "Of course, it's to thank you for your contributions to the show! Come on, bring me some wine glasses!"

Immediately, someone brought the two of them drinks.

Jing Song smiled and didn't answer: "Mr. Zhuo, you're too kind. We're here to participate in the program in order to get a good ranking, so of course we'll do our best."

Ran Xin nodded in agreement.

Zhuo Tao smiled and said, "With your performance and the strong support of Yuting Culture, you are bound to have a bright future! Actually, there is another good news I want to tell you when I called you here today."

With a wave of his hand, someone immediately handed two copies of the contract to the two men.

Ran Xin was taken aback: "What is this?"

"This is the contract with Yuting Culture," Zhuo Tao said with a smile. "Congratulations to you both for earning the recognition of Yuting Culture through your own hard work! Yuting Culture will sign artist contracts with you, and from now on, we will do our best to make you two superstars!"

He smiled and said, "Although I've been a bit long-winded, I still have to say one more thing: your future is limitless!"

Jingsong and Ranxin exchanged a glance, smiled faintly, and returned the contract to each other.

Zhuo Tao was taken aback: "What's going on here?"

"I'm sorry," Jingsong said. "Mr. Zhuo didn't ask before, so we didn't tell him. Actually, we had already signed a contract with another company."

"Yes," Ran Xin nodded in agreement.

"What!?"

The executives were immediately stunned.

A contract has been signed?

How can it be?

We conducted a survey of all the contestants beforehand, and they were all amateurs; there were no singers from other artists at all!

"Are you kidding me?" Zhuo Tao asked, his face showing displeasure.

“Of course not,” Imatsu said.

He was older and had experience in the workings of society, so naturally he had to take the initiative to confront the other party.

“We are all signed singers under Fanfu Culture,” Jingsong said with a smile.

"What!?"

The executives were shocked once again!

A singer who subverts culture!?

This...this joke has gone way too far!

Zhuo Tao's eyes widened, and after a long while, he roared angrily, "Then what are you doing on our Yuting Culture's program?!"

Jingsong said calmly, "The rules of the 'Strongest Newcomer King' program don't say that singers signed by other companies are not allowed to participate, do they? Besides, we were noticed by Fanfu Culture after we participated, which is why they signed us."

"You participated in our program, how can you sign a contract with someone else?" Zhuo Tao asked angrily.

Jingsong shrugged: "The production team didn't say it was impossible! If you had made it clear from the beginning, I would have withdrawn from the competition."

Ran Xin also said, "We thought 'The Strongest Newcomer King' was indeed very inclusive."

“That’s right.” Imatsu nodded.

Enraged, Zhuo Tao smashed the cup on the spot: "Bastard! Absolutely a bastard!"

Jing Song's face darkened: "President Zhuo, please watch your words! If you think we have violated laws and regulations, you are welcome to sue us in court! We can call the police if you insult people in public!"

“Yes! We can call the police!” Ran Xin nodded.

"You..." Zhuo Tao was so angry that he pointed at the two of them, but he couldn't say anything.

"If there's nothing else, we'll be going." Jingsong winked at Ranxin, and the two turned and left.

The executives of Yuting Culture stood there dumbfounded, completely at a loss.

"Stop!" At this moment, Zhuo Tao took a deep breath, calmed down, and called out to the two of them.

"President Zhuo wouldn't want to resort to force, would he?" Jing Song turned around and chuckled.

Ran Xin's face turned pale, clearly indicating that he was somewhat frightened.

"Fanfu Culture is just a small, fledgling company." Zhuo Tao suppressed his anger and tried to remain calm. "But Yuting Culture occupies half of the Chinese music scene! You two made a mistake by choosing the wrong company, but that's not a big deal. As long as you sign with Yuting Culture, all previous promises will remain unchanged, and Yuting Culture will pay you the breach of contract penalty from Fanfu Culture!"
