Debuting After Eight Years of Time Travel

Chapter 32: 32. Wealth is status, Director Zhao’s timely help

Views:

He Dongming brought Wang Qian to Zhou Qinghua.

Zhou Qinghua was busy looking at the materials. When he saw Wang Qian coming, he quickly put down the materials and reached out to shake hands with Wang Qian: "You are here. How are you? Are you familiar with the venue?"

There was some concern in Zhou Qinghua's eyes, as if he and Wang Qian were old friends for many years.

Wang Qian laughed: "Haha, it's OK. I just walked around on the stage, it's OK. Thank you Director Zhou for your concern."

Zhou Qinghua shook his head: "Don't be polite with me. I like to be straightforward. If you treat me as a friend, I will treat you as a friend. Life is long, and more friends mean more paths. Come here, just like you are at home. If you need anything, tell me directly, or ask Dongming to tell me. As long as I can help, I will definitely help."

Wang Qian was slightly surprised by Zhou Qinghua's attitude towards him.

So passionate.

Wang Qian still smiled politely and maintained a certain distance.

If someone shows you kindness without any reason, he is either a traitor or a thief.

Wang Qian: "Thank you Director Zhou. However, I don't think there is anything I need Director Zhou's help with. After all, I'm just going on stage to sing a song. As long as the equipment is good, there will be no problem. I don't dare to ask Director Zhou to give me a backdoor and let me advance directly, right?"

Zhou Qinghua laughed: "Haha, of course that's impossible. I'm a principled person. Especially for this year's show, there must be no accidents. There are three days left before the show starts. You'll be the first to go on stage for the blind audition. You should prepare well in the next two days..."

The voice paused for a moment, and Zhou Qinghua whispered again: "Actually, it's not too late for you to change the song now. I'll ask Dongming to update the information for you, and there's no problem contacting the copyright now."

Wang Qian shook his head gently: "Thanks, Director Zhou. It's really not necessary. If they can sing my songs, then I will definitely sing my own songs. Unless the program team has a hard rule that does not allow singing original songs, then I may not be able to play..."

Zhou Qinghua nodded: "That's fine, since you have the confidence, I won't force you. Come on, I hope you can advance to a few more rounds, your song is actually quite good."

Wang Qian: "Thank you, Director Zhou."

Zhou Qinghua: "Don't be polite with me. Thank you so much. It's too formal. Please stay and have lunch with us later."

Wang Qian thought about it, nodded, agreed, and stayed to have lunch with the program crew.

Immediately, Zhou Qinghua continued to be busy. He was the first assistant director. The official director above him was just a figurehead and only came by occasionally. In essence, he was the real director and kept the entire program team in good order.

Wang Qian watched for a while and exclaimed in his heart that Zhou Qinghua was very capable in scheduling.

The people in the program crew were also very polite to him.

Wang Qian looked around twice and finally understood.

Zhou Qinghua and the entire program crew were so polite to him, obviously not because he was a contestant participating in the blind audition.

It’s not because he has four songs on the new song chart.

root cause.

That is, he is a billionaire with a net worth of hundreds of millions.

In this society, wealth is a symbol of status.

Especially for people like Zhou Qinghua, getting to know a few more rich people is definitely a good thing.

Maybe, when he needs sponsorship for other programs in the future, some rich person will be able to help him, or when he wants to raise investment for his own TV or movie, some rich person will come forward to give him money.

Wang Qian had been in the entertainment industry for more than a decade in his previous life and had also worked as a director. He knew that the symbol of power in the director circle is how much investment one can attract. Real big-name directors rely on their own strength to attract investment and rely on the high return rate of their works to make capital come to them; while some directors rely on connections and keep losing money with one movie after another, but they still have funds to make movies, which also shows strength.

Figured it out and smiled.

Wang Qian didn't care about these and sat in the lounge waiting for He Dongming to get off work.

Ding ding ding…

The phone kept sending messages.

He used his fingernails to think about it and knew it was Qin Xuerong.

Glorious Xue Er: "I got up so late today. I listened to Jiang Jiang playing your music until midnight yesterday. This girl is like a possessed person. How is your side? Is everything going well? Did anyone buy you breakfast in the morning? You must remember to eat breakfast. Nowadays, many young people are in poor health. Doctors say it is because they often skip breakfast..."

Glorious Xue'er: "Take care of yourself over there. If necessary, I can come over to take care of you."

Glorious Xue Er: "Hehe, just kidding, I'm going to work at the company."

Wang Qian moved his fingers, wanting to reply to the message, but he didn't know what to reply at the moment.

It seems that whatever you say can easily be misunderstood by the other party.

Wang Qian stopped reading the message and clicked to enter his own Weibo page.

His Weibo followers have risen to 1.2 million, and everyone is still active, discussing all things related to his music.

At the same time, when he was browsing Weibo, he clearly felt that the publicity for Li Qingyao's new song had increased significantly. There were people discussing Li Qingyao's new song under his Weibo, comparing Li Qingyao's new song with their own new song.

"To be honest, Li Qingyao's new song is not bad. Boss, you want to snatch the first place on Li Qingyao's new song list, but you are not qualified enough, right? Li Qingyao officially entered the music scene five years ago and released six albums. The highest single album sales have exceeded 10 million. The highest single sales on the website have exceeded 20 million. What can the boss compare with Li Qingyao? It's better to release an album first to accumulate some fans."

This piece of information successfully created a small wave of momentum under Wang Qian’s Weibo.

"That's ridiculous. You're talking about past achievements? We're just here to listen to songs. Why should we judge by seniority? So what if Li Qingyao had brilliant achievements in the past? That only proves that the current music industry is really a fight between noobs! Li Qingyao is an actor who changed careers to become a singer, but she's still doing so well. That shows that there aren't many good singers in the music industry. The boss's songs are all really good songs. They made me fall in love with listening to songs again. It's that simple."

"Li Qingyao's songs are OK, but they sound nice, but lack flavor. I get tired of them after listening to them a few times. I can listen to my boss's songs on repeat for days. This is the advantage of my boss's new songs."

"Come on, boss..."

"I'm going to download some of Li Qingyao's songs. I haven't paid attention to the music scene in a while."

"The boss is still strong. Four of the top ten songs on the new song list are the boss's songs. Someone might be scared, so he is hyping it up everywhere..."

… …

Wang Qian took a quick look and didn't say anything.

This is the current publicity method used in the entertainment industry, and all kinds of hype methods are used.

and.

Wang Qian entered the music website and found that Li Qingyao’s new song was featured in the most eye-catching cover position on the homepage. The cover was a carefully retouched artistic photo of Li Qingyao.

The website’s most eye-catching recommendation, coupled with the hype and publicity from the agency behind it.

The data of this song began to skyrocket again.

It still ranks first, with the audition data soaring to more than 38 million, and the download data rising to more than 3.7 million.

Wang Qian's Not That Simple is also firmly in second place. The current real-time data is 5,612,032 auditions and 3,108,504 downloads.

The gap widened again.

Today, Wang Qian’s website recommendation has also ended, and the data growth will be greatly reduced.

As one gains, the other loses.

In a few days, the gap between his song and Li Qingyao's song will become even bigger. By then, the outcome will basically be decided and there will be no possibility for him to take first place.

Wang Qian had no choice but to accept this.

He won't spend money on hype.

The only thing you can do is wait for other opportunities and wait for the website to arrange better recommendation resources.

Logically speaking, with such a dramatic increase in his recommendation data this time, the website would definitely arrange better resources for promotion in the future.

However, this may not be the case after Jinhuang Entertainment makes its efforts.

The music website may be concerned about Jinhuang Entertainment and will not arrange better promotional resources for Wang Qian recently. Instead, the promotional resources will be moved to next month. This will not only protect the interests of the website, but also allow Wang Qian's works to reap users' wallets. At the same time, it will also sell well for Jinhuang Entertainment and allow Li Qingyao to maintain the first place.

Wang Qian…

Being alone and weak.

I can only accept the reality and be treated as a victim.

If he thinks about it for a while, he will know what will happen next and understand the exchange of interests behind it.

Entertainment industry.

Entertainment industry.

In essence, it is a circle.

We are all in the same circle, and the best thing is for everyone to be happy.

Few people would do things that would offend others.

If Wang Qian was also a superstar and had the support of an entertainment group that was no weaker than Jinhuang Entertainment, the result would be different.

Sighed.

Wang Qian smiled.

They had lunch together at noon with the program crew. Zhou Qinghua acted very familiar with Wang Qian and was more like a good friend than He Dongming.

Wang Qian dealt with it casually.

In the afternoon, Zhou Qinghua specially sent He Dongming off from his early shift and asked He Dongming to take Wang Qian out for a walk.

He Dongming also agreed, took Wang Qian for a walk around West Lake, and then went home early to rest.

Neither of them is an active person. When they were in school, they thought that instead of having the time and energy to go out and hang out, it would be more fun to play games in the dormitory.

Return to He Dongming's home.

Wang Qian's cell phone rang.

I thought it was brought by Qin Xuerong.

So, I picked it up and answered it.

However, a strange voice came from the phone.

"Hello Wang Qian, I'm Zhao Lei!"

Zhao Lei

Wang Qian recalled with a little confusion, then quickly laughed and said, "Haha, Director Zhao, hello."

Zhao Lei: "Hello, my movie will be released in a week. You are the singer of the theme song of the interlude, do you want to join us in the promotion? You can appear on two popular variety shows in the next few days and interact with some big stars. I heard from Huazi that you are planning to debut, so I'm asking."

Wang Qian understood.

The other party wanted to give him a hand.

By leveraging the reputation of the film's main creator, he can participate in promotional variety shows with the program's leading actors to increase his exposure and become a hot topic.

Wang Qian was slightly touched.

In the entertainment industry, it is extremely rare to provide timely assistance.

What a pity.

If you don't need to record the sound right away.

He will definitely go.

With regret, Wang Qian said apologetically: "I'm sorry, Director Zhao. I have agreed to participate in a variety show and I'm recording it these two days. I may not have time. I'm sorry to trouble you."

Zhao Lei laughed and said, "Hahaha, it's okay, just keep busy. Keep in touch if you need anything."

Wang Qian: "Okay, goodbye Director Zhao."

Zhao Lei: "Goodbye!"

Hang up the phone.

Wang Qian wrote down Zhao Lei's phone number.

Buzz…

The phone vibrated again.

This time it was really Qin Xuerong who called.

Wang Qian found himself a little excited and quickly answered the phone.

"Wang Qian, have you taken a break?"

A concerned voice came over the phone.

Wang Qian: "Well, I just came back to my friend's house and am taking a rest. Are you off work?"

Qin Xuerong: "I'm off work now. I'm just about to go out for dinner with Jiang Jiang and Xiao Yue. Jiang Jiang asked me to ask you if she can play your music in public."

Wang Qian: "Sure, go ahead. As long as it's not for profit, it's fine."

Qin Xuerong: "That's definitely not the case! Have all your works been registered?"

Wang Qian: "Of course, I still have some copyright awareness."

Qin Xuerong: "That's no problem..."

There was silence on the phone for a few seconds.

The two didn't know what to say for a moment.

Qin Xuerong: "Well, um, we're here, take care of yourself, I'm going to hang up first."

Wang Qian: "Okay, bye!"

Hang up the phone.

Wang Qian began to take a shower and rest.

And in the Magic City.

Qin Xuerong, Jiang Yu and Murong Yue were having dinner together.

Witness Qin Xuerong hanging up the phone.

Jiang Yu said calmly, "You called me in my name... I never told you to ask anything. Besides, I don't think I've mastered this piece yet. I can't play it in public."

Qin Xuerong picked up a piece of meat for Jiang Yu: "Here, we're even."

Murong Yue: "Xue'er, Jiang Jiang doesn't eat dog food..."
