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

After laughing, Wang Ke said seriously, "Writing songs for you guys is no problem, but I suggest we schedule it after 'The Voice of China.' Otherwise, the BUFs will overlap, which would be a bit of a waste."

With "The Voice of China" around, the four of them will maintain their popularity and stay high, so there is no need for them to add any more icing on the cake.

It would be more meaningful to add fuel to the fire once the show ends and the popularity of the four has begun to subside.

Everyone naturally understood this principle, so there was no objection.

"Um..." Li Feifei hesitated for a moment before asking, "President Fan, do we need to sign a contract with Fanfu Culture?"

“Let’s not sign them for now,” Wang Ke said. “If we sign them, I will naturally support them, but then it wouldn’t be appropriate for them to be mentors on ‘The Voice of China.’ Are you willing to let them go?”

The four nodded, each with a different feeling:

Chen Hao and Lu Zhiming both breathed a sigh of relief.

Chen Hao is 45 and Lu Zhiming is 41. Both of them were once top singers, but they have faded into obscurity due to their age.

They are naturally grateful to Wang Ke for their recent resurgence in popularity thanks to "The Voice of China," but it would be difficult for singers of their stature to sign with a new company.

After all, they have been busy all their lives and have already achieved great success. There is no need for them to sacrifice their freedom and face and choose to be controlled by others.

Although Ren Mingwei is thirty-two, he is still considered a young man in this day and age; Li Feifei, needless to say, is a young woman in her twenties who needs someone to lend her a hand.

So they were genuinely willing to sign with Fanfu Culture, and now that they heard Wang Ke directly decline, they were somewhat disappointed.

Wang Ke saw through their thoughts and laughed, "But don't worry, everyone. Although we can't be colleagues, we're still friends! What's wrong with friends is wrong with me, Wang Ke. It's just writing a few songs, right? I could write them for a lifetime!"

The four were overjoyed and were expressing their gratitude when Wang Ke said:

"As long as the money is right, I'll write as much as you want! We're all friends, I'll give you a 5% discount!"

Good guy!

The four of them rolled their eyes.

Okay, you're a true friend!

Why don't you offer a 1% discount?

It's basically the same as not having a discount at all!

After the banquet, just as Wang Ke was about to go back to rest, Secretary Ding called him to come to the city government.

I rushed to the municipal government building and met with Vice Mayor Liu. After exchanging a few pleasantries, Vice Mayor Liu got straight to the point:

"Here's the thing, Yuting Culture submitted a proposal to spearhead a music festival in Linhai. This would be a great boost to the city's cultural and entertainment industry, so the city attaches great importance to it. After a meeting of the leadership team, their proposal has been approved. Yuting Culture will play a leading role this time, and has already invited six entertainment companies with a total of fourteen singers to participate in the music festival. Your company, Fanfu Culture, is an important member of the arts and culture community in Linhai, so the city wants you to participate as well."

Upon hearing the name "Yuting," Wang Ke immediately became wary and asked, "Does Yuting Culture agree to this?"

"It was they who first suggested that you two get involved," said Vice Mayor Liu. "I know that there are some conflicts between your two families due to competition, but Yuting Culture has extended an olive branch this time. My point is that it would be best if we could turn hostility into friendship. After all, you are both the pride of Linhai. Fighting back and forth only makes us a laughing stock in the eyes of outsiders."

Wang Ke readily nodded: "Okay, we have no problem!"

Vice Mayor Liu originally thought that even if Wang Ke agreed, he would try to manipulate things, but he didn't expect him to agree so readily. He was overjoyed and praised him several times, saying that he was sensible, had a sense of righteousness, and could think about the whole of Linhai. The city would never mistreat such a person.

After saying a few humble words, Wang Ke received the project proposal from Secretary Ding and returned to the company.

He knew, of course, that Yuting Culture was up to no good and was definitely up to some crooked scheme to take advantage of him.

But so what?

Would Wang Ke be afraid?

A music festival? Inviting six entertainment companies to the event?

I suspect they've recruited six henchmen to try and suppress my subversive culture.

Alright, come on then, if you want to fight, then let's fight!

Do you think that having more people means you can crush having fewer people?

When ten "veteran artists" attacked me together before, did I kneel down and beg for mercy, or did I sing triumphant songs?

If you want to humiliate yourself, then I'll play along to the end!

The other party already has seven entertainment companies with a total of fourteen singers, which means each company will produce two singers.

After thinking it over, Wang Ke selected Lin Qianyu and Su Zhen to participate in the music festival.

Men and women working together makes the work easier; yin and yang complementing each other brings joy and encouragement.

Both of them were very happy after receiving the task. Firstly, this was the first music festival in Linhai City, which was of great significance. Moreover, Linhai TV would broadcast the entire event live, and online video platforms would also buy out the broadcasting rights, so audiences across the country could see it, which was a great opportunity to make a name for themselves. Secondly, Boss Fan never had the habit of letting his artists sing old songs, so he would definitely create new songs tailored for the two of them.

Isn't this a fantastic thing?

At the headquarters of Yuting Culture, Zhuo Tao put down the phone and couldn't help but burst into laughter:

"Wang Ke, you're still too green!"

"You really think I'd shake hands and make peace with you? Dream on!"

"This time, I'm going to completely destroy the subversive culture!"

"Trying to outsmart me? You're far from it! This time, I'm going to use a straightforward strategy. Do you have a choice?"

"If you don't come, it means you're not supporting the city government's efforts in promoting cultural and artistic activities, and the authorities will naturally develop a rift with you because of it!"

"We'll naturally set the tone among the public, and everyone will think you're too low-class to participate in such a grand event!"

"But if you dare to come..."

Zhuo Tao gave a cold laugh.

A vicious conspiracy was brewing in his mind, but he did not blurt it out.

In the blink of an eye, news of the Linhai City Music Festival spread throughout the streets and alleys.

The Linhai government has spared no effort in promoting the music festival, aiming to create a well-known cultural brand for Linhai and to project a brilliant image of Linhai as a city that excels in both material and spiritual civilization.

When a municipality or an international metropolis devotes all its efforts to promoting something, that thing will naturally resonate with people and even spread throughout the country.

Soon, the list of singers from the eight entertainment companies attending the meeting spread throughout the country, and many people's eyes lit up when they saw the name "Flip Culture".

"There's subversive culture involved!"

"Needless to say, it'll definitely look great!"

"I can't wait! Yuting Culture is impressive enough, but with Fanfu Culture on top of that, Linhai is really going all out this time!"

"This music festival is sure to be a musical extravaganza, you absolutely can't miss it!"

Netizens were immediately agitated, and many influential figures in the music industry also joined in the promotion:

"This Linhai Music Festival will leave a significant mark on the history of Chinese arts and culture! It's definitely worth seeing!"

"With seven major entertainment companies joining forces, this Linhai Music Festival is sure to be a must-see! You can't miss it!"

"Guys, we can miss anything, but we absolutely cannot miss this Linhai Music Festival!"
