HuaYu97: Starting as a Singer

Chapter 41 [041] He actually refused Qiong Yao's acting offer.

[Major earthquake in the music scene: Two new Asian superstars have formed a collaboration, aiming to challenge the previous generation of Four Heavenly Kings]

The battle between the new and old Heavenly Kings has begun. Can Qi Yuan and Ren Xianqi, two rapidly rising stars, end the 'rule' of the Four Heavenly Kings?

Qi Yuan and Ren Xianqi join forces to wage war against the Four Heavenly Kings.

[Arrogant and conceited, two people who have been popular for less than a year actually tried to wage war against the Four Heavenly Kings]

……

News reports have shaken the Hong Kong music scene.

After Richie Jen's strong rise to fame at the beginning of last year, he earned the title of Asia's new king of pop.

Initially, the fans of the Four Heavenly Kings and the Hong Kong media did not approve of it.

You, Ren Xianqi, were just an unknown singer who got lucky and became famous again with the song "Too Softhearted." How many representative works do you have? Do you even deserve to be called a superstar?
Gradually, they realized that Richie Jen was too popular, with both official and pirated copies selling over 20 million copies, surpassing the popularity of the Four Heavenly Kings.

At this point, fans of the Four Heavenly Kings and some Hong Kong media faced a choice.

Either acknowledge Richie Jen's status as a superstar.

Either admit that the Four Heavenly Kings are nothing special, that they were actually overshadowed by an ordinary singer who has made a comeback.

In this multiple-choice question, they chose the former.

It's obvious to anyone with eyes that it's more dignified to be overwhelmed by the popularity of a new superstar or by an ordinary singer.

However, they were cunning. They acknowledged that Richie Jen was indeed a Heavenly King, but they said that Richie Jen was a new Heavenly King ranked below the Four Heavenly Kings, which was equivalent to demoting Richie Jen by half a level.

Rock Records executives, including Jonathan Lee, recognized this.

So when Ren Xianqi offered to cooperate with Qi Yuan to dispel the rumors that day, Li Zongsheng gained some inspiration and came up with a bold idea.

Could we team up with Warner and Qi Yuan to challenge the Four Heavenly Kings?

Is it true that two people working together are stronger than Ren Xianqi fighting alone?
If they fight each other, both of them will suffer losses.

By joining forces to challenge the Four Heavenly Kings, both families benefited from the mutually beneficial arrangement.

That's why Zhou Jianhui and Warner executives agreed to Rolling Stone's suggestion, even though Aaron Kwok, one of the Four Heavenly Kings, was one of their Warner employees, and they could be ruthless even towards their own people.

Because Guo Fucheng, who failed to enter the Mandarin record market and is on the decline, is not as commercially valuable as Qi Yuan, a potential star, in the long run.

Qi Yuan himself readily agreed to this arrangement, which was beneficial to both parties.

According to Zhang Hao, the two parties agreed that Rock Records would release a song for Qi Yuan and Richie Jen to sing as a duet, which would be included in Richie Jen's new album released this year.

Warner Music also released a song, a duet between Richie Jen and Qi Yuan, which was included in Qi Yuan's new album.

If the two of them hold concerts in the future, they can surprise each other by appearing at each other's concerts.

……

Taiwan.

The cast and crew of "My Fair Princess," led by Qiong Yao, began to appear in public to promote the upcoming premiere of the series.

The news of the collaboration between two new superstars, Qi Yuan and Richie Jen, not only shocked the Hong Kong entertainment industry but also surprised many people in the Taiwanese entertainment industry.

Even Qiong Yao couldn't resist jumping on Qi Yuan's bandwagon.

In an interview, she said, "Qi Yuan is an exceptionally talented and gifted child. I first learned about him when I was filming in Chengde, mainland China."

The girls in the crew were listening to his songs. After I heard his songs, I immediately told the people around me that I wanted to find this kid to sing the theme song for "Princess Pearl".

A few days ago, I received a song demo from Warner Music, and I was really satisfied with it after listening to it.

If I had known him at this time last year, I would definitely have invited him to play Erkang.

"Auntie Poor Yao, if you have a new script next time, would you give priority to working with Qi Yuan?"

Qiong Yao: "Yes, as long as he is available, I can even tailor-make a role for him."

The reporters gasped; Qiong Yao actually admired Qi Yuan so much. The way Qiong Yao spoke didn't sound fake.

Poor Yao's dramas are famous for making people famous, not only launching the careers of a large number of female stars.

Ma Jingtao, Qin Han, and other once-popular male actors were also made famous by the poor Yao drama.

The most famous actors in Taiwan in the 1970s were Qin, Qin, and Lin.

The "two Qins" refers to Qin Han and Qin Xianglin, while the "one Lin" refers to Brigitte Lin. Both of them were made famous by the drama "Poor Yao".

Although later generations criticized the poor Yao drama, feeling that its values ​​were skewed and the plot was too melodramatic.

However, nowadays, male and female actors are scrambling to get roles in poor Yao dramas.

Being able to act in a poor Yao opera meant you were destined to become famous.

In fact, it wasn't a lie when Qiong Yao said he wanted to cooperate with Qi Yuan.

After returning to Taiwan, she watched Qi Yuan's CD and learned what the singer actually looked like.

She was stunned when she saw Qi Yuan's appearance.

Qi Yuan is much more handsome than Qin Han, Ma Jingtao, Su Youpeng, and others.

She cast Qi Yuan in her drama, and tailored some explosive storylines for Qi Yuan, such as "You only lost a leg, but she lost her love." It would be hard for the ratings not to explode.

the same day.

Qi Yuan took a plane back to Taiwan.

Hundreds of fans came to greet him as he exited the airport.

Qi Yuan turned to Zhang Hao and asked, "Did the company pay for these shills? There are so many."

Zhang Hao smiled wryly: "You have no idea how famous you are now. In Taiwan, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say you're incredibly popular. Do you still need to pay someone to pick you up at the airport?"

Qi Yuan was both amused and exasperated; being too famous wasn't always a good thing.

He greeted his fans and gave out dozens of autographs. With eight bodyguards clearing the way, it took him more than ten minutes to successfully 'escape'.

Then... the reporter appeared again.

"Mr. Qi Yuan, do you have any plans to act in a TV series? Another rising star, Richie Jen, is confirmed to play Yang Guo in 'The Return of the Condor Heroes'."

"Aunt Yao said she regrets not meeting you sooner. She said that if 'Princess Pearl' hadn't finished filming, you would definitely have been the perfect choice for Er Kang. What do you think?"

"Qiong Yao has publicly stated that she will prioritize inviting you to collaborate on her next new script. If she does invite you, would you act in one of her dramas?"

"Excuse me……"

Reporters swarmed around, chasing after Qi Yuan's bodyguards.

If it weren't for the bodyguards blocking them, they would have shoved the microphone into Qi Yuan's mouth so he could answer their questions.

Wearing sunglasses, Qi Yuan stopped and pushed aside the two bodyguards blocking his way. He told the reporters, "I've been working in Hong Kong these past few days, busy from day to night. I don't know if Ms. Qiong Yao really said she wanted to invite me to star in her play."

If it really is true, I want to thank her for her appreciation.

However, I have no plans to act in films or television dramas in the near future.

My mother always said that music is my trump card, and I want to focus on making good music first.

Every reporter present was initially taken aback, but after they came to their senses, they all grinned from ear to ear.

Big news!

Many male actors tried to pull strings, give gifts, and use all sorts of means, but still couldn't get the chance to act in the poor Yao drama.

Qi Yuan actually refused; he was definitely the first artist to refuse Qiong Yao.
