With just a few casual words, I've swept the music scene.
Chapter 90: Overturning Culture is Our Family's Great Benefactor
The first Linhai Music Festival has successfully concluded.
Strictly speaking, it should be called a concert, because it only lasted one day and was held only once.
Most music festivals on Earth last for two days, during which musicians perform continuously, usually from the afternoon until late at night, gathering with fans for a musical extravaganza.
Neither the Linhai City Government nor Linhai TV understands these things, and those who do understand them have no intention of organizing a music festival.
As the audience left and the excitement came to an end, only the staff packing up the equipment remained in the stadium, along with an exasperated Zhuo Tao and the rest of the staff from the other six entertainment companies.
"You'd better leave quickly," a staff member urged, "We're closing up too!"
The seven groups slunk away, and outside the stadium, they kept pulling Zhuo Tao aside and talking incessantly:
"Mr. Zhuo, how should we settle this matter today?"
"Yeah, now we're in breach of contract and have to pay compensation. What kind of situation is this?"
"We came to support Yuting Culture, and this is how we end up?"
"President Zhuo, you must give us an explanation! Otherwise, we won't be able to explain ourselves to the company!"
Zhuo Tao was furious: "What are you all yelling about? What, do we have to fight each other again? You can't beat Fanfu Culture, so you're going to play the infighting game with me?"
Upon seeing him, they became agitated and fell silent.
Yuting Culture is the leading company in the Chinese music industry. The six companies rely on Yuting Culture in many ways, which is why Zhuo Tao can command a large following with just a word and mobilize them to cooperate in dealing with Fanfu Culture.
Although Zhuo Tao's position is the company's vice president, he is in charge of the company during Chen Yuting's absence, so his status is even higher than that of the six company presidents.
These people in front of him were just vice presidents of various companies, and they really didn't dare to play tough with him.
Zhuo Tao didn't dare to confront these people head-on, and waved his hand: "Alright, everyone's tired after a whole night of running around. Come sit at my place and have something to eat. We still need to discuss the rest!"
The group got into the car, and soon the convoy arrived at Yuting Cultural Institute.
The executives and singers followed Zhuo Tao to the restaurant. As soon as they sat down, the leader of Xingyao Entertainment asked, "Mr. Zhuo, at this music festival, Fanfu Culture has become the absolute winner. What else do we need to discuss?"
Zhuo Tao sneered: "Winner? The happier he is tonight, the more miserable I'll make him tomorrow!"
The leader of the Zenith Culture team hesitated and said, "Actually, I don't think we need to go against the culture of overturning the past, do we?"
"Exactly! I hate to admit it, but the subversion culture is really powerful. Any one of these songs tonight could be a hit of the year. How can we compete with them?"
"I think we should just let this go. Our family is large and powerful, and he's just a rising star who won't affect us much."
"Yes, the main problem is that if we really fight them, we might not be a match for them!"
"To be honest, several of their songs today really moved me..."
The team leaders started talking all at once.
Zhuo Tao slammed his fist on the table in anger: "Are we just trying to boost the morale of others while diminishing our own?"
Everyone immediately shut their mouths, not daring to say anything more.
Zhuo Tao took a deep breath and patiently began to explain:
"Everyone, it is precisely because the culture of subversion is so powerful that we must work together to nip it in the bud!"
"Think about it, it has only just been established, yet it has already made so many singers famous and released so many hit songs. If it continues to develop in the future, will there still be a place for us in the Chinese music scene?"
"At that time, let alone barely making a living, we'll probably have to depend on their attitude towards cultural upheaval if we want to eat leftovers!"
"Gentlemen, do you really want to see this happen?"
The group panicked for a moment.
Zhuo Tao's words truly hit their sore spot.
Yes, how terrifying is the ability of Flip Culture to single-handedly organize a perfect music festival?
What's even more frightening is that it's just a newly established company!
At the current rate of development of Fanfu Culture, it will probably only take a few years for them to have a group of top-tier singers and countless classic hits.
By then, how will these entertainment companies that primarily focus on singing compete with the revolutionary culture?
"That's right, Mr. Zhuo is right! We really can't let it grow bigger!"
"Yes, yes, yes! President Zhuo is truly visionary. We need to think of a solution!"
Everyone immediately became anxious.
Zhuo Tao calmed down somewhat and sneered, "Everyone, as long as we join forces, what is a mere Fanfu Culture? No matter how powerful they are, they only have about a dozen singers they can boast about right now. As long as we are united, it's not difficult at all to send them to the abyss of no return!"
As he spoke, he leaned forward and began to explain his plan.
A crowd gathered around, listened attentively, and clapped in praise.
"Yes, let's do it!"
"Even with the protection of the Linhai City government, Fanfu Culture is doomed this time!"
"President Zhuo is indeed impressive. How could Wang Ke possibly be a match for you?"
While a group of scoundrels were plotting their evil schemes, Wang Ke and the others had already been invited to the municipal government guesthouse by Secretary Ding.
Vice Mayor Liu was already waiting there. When he saw Wang Ke and the others come in, he personally came over to greet them and warmly shook hands with Wang Ke and the singers one by one: "Thank you all for your contributions to the arts and culture of Linhai! You've worked hard!"
"This is what we should do," Wang Ke said modestly.
When the singers learned that this was the vice mayor in charge of arts and culture, they were all flattered and extremely excited.
It's important to know that Linhai is a municipality directly under the central government, and the ranks of the city's top officials cannot be measured by the standards of ordinary cities!
Not long ago, they were just small contestants on a music variety show, but overnight, they became real superstars and even received a meeting with the deputy mayor. Such a huge ups and downs in their lives really left them unable to recover for a while.
A lavish banquet had been prepared at the guesthouse. After everyone was seated, Vice Mayor Liu personally raised his glass to toast everyone and celebrate their success.
During the inter-city visit, Vice Mayor Liu lavished praise on the cultural figures and singers, showering them with compliments. Everyone was overjoyed, and many singers secretly took out their phones to record the moment before sending the photos to their parents.
"Mom, did you hear that? This is the vice mayor of Linhai City! He's praising your son!"
"Dad, all your years of teaching me have paid off. Listen, our deputy mayor is praising your daughter!"
On the other end of the phone, parents holding their phones and looking at messages about their children couldn't help but smile with joy and excitement.
My child has made something of himself!
And they've become incredibly successful!
Before long, the phones in these singers' homes rang incessantly as relatives and friends who had watched the live broadcast that night called their parents one after another to congratulate them.
Busy answering these phone calls, busy thanking the relatives and friends who called, busy helping the child be modest...
They were busy until late at night before the parents finally calmed down, looked at each other, and burst into tears.
"Honey, when our child said he wanted to participate in this music program, I didn't agree. Looking back now, I'm so scared! If he hadn't insisted on going, we wouldn't be where we are today."
"Honey, the kids are all grown up now and have their own ideas. Let them make their own decisions about many things! We need to trust our children, and even more so, we need to trust the culture of innovation!"
"Yes! The culture of overturning traditions is a great benefactor to our family!"
