With just a few casual words, I've swept the music scene.
Chapter 49: A Singer's Path Is Not Limited to the Entertainment Industry
As night fell, Wang Ke uploaded the newly compiled songs to the copyright website and waited for review before standing up and stretching his body.
His copyrighted music library is now extremely rich, but he feels it's still not enough.
His rise in China was only the first step in his plan; conquering the world was the ultimate goal he aimed for!
First, establish roots in China, build your own music kingdom, then expand throughout Asia, and from there, conquer Europe and America.
Bearing countless classics from Earth on his shoulders, Wang Ke believes he will definitely succeed!
Just then, Wang Lei called: "Are you at the company?"
"Of course I am," Wang Ke said with a smile. "The company is my home."
"I'll be right there!" Wang Lei hung up the phone hastily.
Wang Ke was puzzled for a while: What's the rush? So late at night…
He personally went downstairs to greet him, and soon after, Wang Lei arrived by car.
The two went upstairs and sat down. Wang Ke wanted to make tea for Wang Lei, but Wang Lei waved his hand and said, "I'm not in the mood for tea. Something terrible has happened!"
"What's the matter that's so tense?" Wang Ke asked.
"There was a meeting at the Cultural Bureau this afternoon, and when the station director came back, he looked very grim," Wang Lei said. "He said that Deputy Director Xu of the Cultural Bureau criticized some current programs at the meeting, saying that some programs were sensationalist, reckless in pursuit of ratings, abandoning the fine traditions of television program production, and engaging in gimmicks unrelated to professional competitions. Doing so goes against the founding purpose of the television station..."
Wang Ke understood immediately.
Although the other party did not name names, they were actually referring to "The Voice of China".
However, he was not surprised.
Yuting Culture occupies half of the Chinese music scene. After operating for so many years, it has a very deep foundation in Linhai. It is not surprising that it can get one or two leaders to come forward.
He just hadn't expected that the other party would use such power so easily.
He wasn't embarrassed by this; instead, he smiled.
I only tested the waters a little, and I forced the other party to reveal their backing and their trump cards. So how will Yuting Culture respond when I unleash a series of powerful weapons?
You're nothing special!
Seeing Wang Ke actually laugh, Wang Lei became anxious: "You're still laughing? Can't you tell this is about our show?"
"I could tell," Wang Ke nodded. "So what?"
"The station director came back and said that the Cultural Affairs Bureau had asked the satellite TV station to start a self-inspection," Wang Lei said. "Non-compliant programs must be rectified immediately and submitted to the Cultural Affairs Bureau for review before they can be rebroadcast. Moreover, after the meeting, Deputy Director Xu specifically kept the station director behind and said that the main program to be rectified was 'The Voice of China'."
"Didn't he say that directly at the meeting?" Wang Ke asked.
"No," Wang Lei shook his head. "Linhai TV is, after all, an official mouthpiece, so he has to give the station some face. But pointing it out privately is already quite serious. What should we do?"
Wang Ke pondered.
Yuting Culture has powerful backers, and so does Wang Ke, namely Tan Donglai, the chairman of Donglai Group, the richest man in Linhai.
An entrepreneur of this caliber must have connections not only with the top officials in Linhai, but also with even higher-ups. With a single word from him, this crisis could be resolved.
However, Wang Ke did not want to use this powerful weapon lightly.
This is our trump card, our royal flush, so of course we can't just use it casually.
He had actually considered this situation long ago and had already come up with some solutions.
“Easy,” Wang Ke said. “I’ll just change the song during tomorrow’s recording.”
"Can a song really change everything?" Wang Lei thought that was a bit far-fetched.
"Don't worry," Wang Ke said with a smile. "It's thanks to their efforts before the new episode was recorded that we would have had to re-record it. Once this episode airs, I believe things will naturally change."
Wang Lei was completely baffled, but he could only listen to Wang Ke and immediately went back to prepare.
After seeing Wang Lei off, Wang Ke turned to look at the city nightscape.
The lights are dim, and skyscrapers stand tall. The country, which was poor and weak just a few decades ago, has now become a major power with a significant international position thanks to the unremitting efforts of generations.
“Who wouldn’t love a country like this?” Wang Ke smiled, turned around and went back into the company, where he found a song from his music library.
"You're the one!" he murmured to himself, his eyes shining.
The next day, the entire production team of "The Voice of China" arrived and began recording the new episode.
This was an internal battle within mentor Li Feifei's group, and the winner of the overall MVP award was a female contestant named Yan Chunyu.
Her situation is a bit special. She graduated from a music academy with a major in bel canto. Although her singing skills are excellent, her appearance is average and she is not very suitable for singing pop songs. Moreover, she is already thirty-one years old, so it is unlikely that she will have any success in the entertainment industry.
So when Li Feifei saw that she had been selected, she was really worried and felt that it would be a waste of a song by the general manager.
But Wang Ke's eyes lit up.
This song is perfect for her to sing!
If someone else had been chosen, I would have had to put in a lot of effort to give them proper guidance. But if she were to sing, it would save me a lot of trouble!
I'm so lucky! It seems like fate is on my side!
He took Yan Chunyu to the rehearsal room and asked her earnestly, "Have you thought about your future?"
At this age, what unrealistic, naive fantasies could one still have? So Yan Chunyu said directly, "Mr. Fan, I'm not a young girl, and I'm not so naive as to think I can debut. I have my own music training class, and I'm participating in this show to boost my fame. After it's over, I'll still go back to living my ordinary life. So... if you feel it's not suitable, I can give up the opportunity to sing this song. Anyway, it's just a recording, so why not let the audience choose again?"
Wang Ke asked with a smile, "Are you really willing to give up?"
Yan Chunyu gave a bitter smile.
Only a fool would give up the opportunity to sing a cover of a classic song!
But she felt that the reason why Fan Zong asked her about the future was actually implying to her: Since you can't succeed in the music industry, why waste my song?
“I…” Yan Chunyu bit her lip, and finally said, “Although I’m a little unwilling, one can’t be too selfish. I know they are more suitable to sing your songs than I am, so…”
“You’re wrong about that.” Wang Ke immediately understood her thoughts and interrupted her directly, “My songs are never limited to one style, and this song is perfect for you today.”
"Huh?" Yan Chunyu was completely dumbfounded.
This...this is not what I expected.
Wang Ke smiled and said, "I think you've misunderstood. I asked you about your future plans because I wanted to say that you're not really suited for the entertainment industry, but a singer's path isn't limited to it. I wanted to ask you if you'd be willing to be a mainstream singer?"
"Huh?" Yan Chunyu was completely stunned.
So, Mr. Fan didn't come here to persuade me to give up?
I... I can actually debut?
Can I become a singer?
This...this is absolutely incredible!
"I do!" Yan Chunyu nodded excitedly.
