Chapter 142: Going with the flow
After Zhang Yadong left, expressing his deepest gratitude...

Wang Luyao started rehearsing for the music video. In order to save on filming costs, the dance was temporarily adapted by a training class teacher without paying them. The only price was that the girls from the training class appeared on camera.

The dance is based on the disco song "Bunny Hop," also known as the bunny dance.

Actually, a direct translation would be "Penguin Dance".

However, Wang Luyao's version has a slightly faster rhythm than the original, and it does have a bit of a bunny hop feel to it.

But what I saw was this scene:
It sways from side to side, as if a mountain is collapsing; it rises and falls, as if a mountain is collapsing.

Pushing forward and surging back, the two majestic peaks stand facing each other; leaning east and west, the two ridges tremble as they contend.

So much so that Wang Jinghua couldn't help but whisper halfway through watching it, "Isn't this a bit too... uh, that kind of lively?"

"It seems like we've gone a bit too far."

Zhang Yan stared intently at the stage, feigning seriousness. There hadn't been any major problems when the dance teacher demonstrated it before, but now the problems were far too great.

Even though local TV stations are usually bolder, it's hard to say whether they can handle things this way.

So Zhang Yan stood up and walked to the photographer's feet—this was the stage that Tianjin TV had built for "I'm Crazy for Singing," and there was a large crane that people could sit on, and the photographer was sitting on the crane right now.

How do you look on camera?

Zhang Yan raised his hand and patted the photographer's leg, asking, "Isn't this going too far?"

"Huh? Huh?"

The cameraman looked down and met Zhang Yan's gaze, then gave Zhang Yan a thumbs-up and said, "Brother Zhang, this close-up effect is absolutely stunning!"

"You bastard, isn't this a panoramic shot?!"

Zhang Yan said irritably, "What I'm asking is, do you think this level of explicitness is too much?"

"It's really big."

The cameraman nodded vigorously: "No wonder she's a girl from the Mao ethnic group."

"I was talking about scale, not size!"

"hey-hey."

The cameraman chuckled and said, "Brother Zhang, it would be such a shame if this program were canceled."

At this moment, Chen Hong also came over and whispered, "Why don't we shoot two versions? One version with a bodysuit, and another version with the bodysuit on. Then the TV station can choose which version to broadcast."

"It can only be the."

After this version of the rehearsal was completed, Wang Jinghua went over and told the girls in the dance class, and the girls were all very happy.

They all paid for the dance class to get this opportunity to appear on TV. Being able to appear on camera twice for the price of one was a huge win for the girls.

At the same time, Chen Hong handed Wang Luyao a towel and told her about shooting two versions.

Wang Luyao took the towel, glanced at Zhang Yan below the stage, and said obediently, "I can do anything. I'll do whatever Teacher Zhang tells me to do."

Chen Hong keenly noticed that she had recently changed how she addressed Zhang Yan.

This little girl has definitely got her eye on her!
Actually, more than half a month ago, when Zhang Yan proposed the plan to dominate the screen, Chen Hong noticed that Wang Luyao's gaze towards Zhang Yan was different; it was so watery it was almost dripping with tears.

what can we do about it?

The last reminder had no effect at all; it seems that only a strong and decisive approach will suffice.

The problem is that this matter has already been made public to Zhang Yan; he initiated it himself, and now he's openly going back on his word...

What Wang Luyao thinks is not important; the question is what Zhang Yan will think.

While hesitating.

A man and a woman walked into the studio. Wang Luyao covered her chest and asked curiously, "Isn't that Zhang Guoli and Deng Jie? What are they doing here?"

Chen Hong, who knew a bit more, explained, "The first music video in China was directed by Zhang Guoli. Zhang Yan happened to know him on the Spring Festival Gala production team, so he sought his advice—he even came over to give us two days of guidance when we first started filming." "Oh~"

Wang Luyao nodded in realization, but her gaze was fixed on Deng Jie. In terms of fame, Deng Jie now completely surpasses Zhang Guoli.

Deng Jie appeared on the Spring Festival Gala last year, and she's back again this year—of course, Zhang Guoli also participated this year, otherwise he wouldn't have met Zhang Yan.

Seeing that Wang Luyao was covering her chest, Chen Hong said, "Why don't you go back to the station and change your clothes? I'll go and say a few words to someone."

Wang Luyao nodded, watching Chen Hong greet her with a smile, and soon she was chatting and laughing with Deng Jie, arm in arm. She felt quite envious.

Although she is now famous throughout the country, because she took the wrong path and those in the know attributed the "RU Fu" incident to Zhang Yan, her status in the industry has not improved much.

I don't know if I'll ever have the chance to stand on the stage as gracefully as Sister Chen Hong.

Not long after Wang Luyao went backstage, Wang Jinghua followed her over, gesturing for her not to rush to take off her clothes. Then she took a towel and reached inside to wipe away her sweat.

"Oh dear, your clothes are way too tight, they're practically constricting you!" Wang Jinghua complained, then suddenly teased, "You didn't wear this on purpose to impress President Zhang, did you?"

Wang Luyao was startled and quickly denied it: "Dance practice clothes are usually quite tight, and there aren't any that fit me well."

"It's okay if it's not."

While wiping her sweat, Wang Jinghua said, "Our boss lady is no pushover. We don't want to end up losing both her and our money."

Wang Luyao was quite dismissive of this, thinking to herself that if Chen Hong hadn't hinted at it, she might not have thought of it at all.

Seeing that Wang Luyao clearly wasn't listening, Wang Jinghua couldn't help but sigh inwardly. Apart from Han Hong, none of these singers were easy to manage.

She wanted to persuade Wang Luyao to turn back from her wrong path, but suddenly she heard Zhang Yan at the front desk calling her name.

So he hurriedly handed the towel to Wang Luyao, and told her that she had only just recovered and should not catch a cold, before rushing to the front desk.

We've reached the front.

Zhang Yan pointed at Zhang Guoli and said, "Brother Guoli recommended a song lyric. You should go to Beijing with Brother Guoli this afternoon and try to get the copyright as soon as possible."

"What kind of song is it?"

"The song is called 'When I Grow Up, I Will Become You,' and it was the champion of this year's Rainbow Cup Lyrics Competition."

The song title sounded like it was about to fulfill a dream, and Wang Jinghua was about to agree when Chen Hong suddenly said, "I'll make the trip myself, so we can negotiate the price later."

Upon hearing this, Wang Jinghua frowned.

She didn't believe Chen Hong couldn't see Wang Luyao's strangeness, but Chen Hong chose to leave at this moment. Wasn't that tantamount to condoning Wang Luyao?
Could it be that……

Is the proprietress trying to catch them red-handed once and for all?
Wang Jinghua looked at Zhang Yan and Chen Hong suspiciously, and noticed that Zhang Yan's eyes were somewhat unfocused, clearly indicating that he was feeling guilty.

As expected, Mr. Zhang himself had already figured it out!

What should I do?
If the two people are truly in love, there's nothing you can do to stop them, but for the sake of the company's stability and unity, you can't just stand by and do nothing...

"boss Zhang."

After much deliberation, Wang Jinghua decided to give it one last shot: "Why don't you go in person? We can have Luyao rehearse a few more times today, and then have the formal rehearsal tomorrow..."

"no need."

Chen Hong interrupted her directly, saying, "Let's have our General Manager Zhang stay in Tianjin to oversee things—I also have some matters to attend to in Beijing."

She ultimately chose to go with the flow; after all, it wasn't the first time. There was Tao Hong before her, and Zhou Tao after her, so she didn't care about adding Wang Luyao to the list.

Unlike the other two, as the person in charge of the agency, Chen Hong was confident that she could subdue Wang Luyao. If she was properly trained, she might even be able to use Wang Luyao to do some things that she herself would not be able to do.

For example, tearing apart Zhou Tao and Tao at the right time...

uh~
Tao Hong decided to give up; she figured even the two of them combined couldn't beat that muscular woman.
