Entertainment Era: Starting with Teaching Sister Meng to Sing

Wang Feng really enjoyed his performance today.

He certainly holds a very high position in the rock music scene, but precisely because of his fame, no one of equal caliber is willing to challenge him.

Being able to compete with a singer like Lin Zhixuan today, using a song that perfectly suits my style, is an experience that defies easy description – simply saying "awesome" doesn't do it justice.

So after the recording ended, Wang Feng eagerly caught up with Wang Xiaozhou and his companion as they were leaving, and offered them a ride in his car.

In the car, Wang Feng first thanked Meng Ziyi for giving him the final shout in the closing stage, then half-jokingly smiled and said to Wang Xiaozhou:

"I really enjoyed singing today. The song 'Light' felt like it was made just for me. Every word sounded so good. I wonder when you'll be free so we can collaborate again."

Wang Feng is definitely a seriously underrated singer. His reputation was poor in the early days, and recently he was criticized for his song "In the Spring" on the Spring Festival Gala, which caused the audience to often overlook his true strength.

But Wang Xiaozhou knew that this guy's singing skills at his peak were absolutely terrifying. As the first Chinese singer to hold a concert at the Bird's Nest, Wang Laoda's strength was far more than that, so he was happy to continue working with him.

"I'm afraid there won't be much time left. I won't be able to invite you to be my guest singer on the next Singer stage. How about two months from now? I have a movie in my head that I want to make, and I'd like you to sing the theme song for it."

Wang Feng smiled and agreed. Two months was not a long time for him at all. He only needed to prepare for a few concerts, and he could spend the rest of the time with his children.

Having finished explaining his main purpose, and seeing that he was still far from where Wang Xiaozhou lived, Wang Feng sighed and changed the subject.

"After participating in Singer today, I feel like I won't be able to record anything after returning to The Voice of China. It's a final stage, and I couldn't even beat the worst contestant on Singer. There's no comparison between the two sides."

I feel this show's future is bleak, and I probably won't participate in the next season.

Upon hearing this, Wang Xiaozhou shook his head and said, "The two programs are different in nature. One is a talent show, and the other is a competition between experts. It's meaningless to compare hard skills."

What's truly captivating about The Voice of China is the blind audition round. Everyone loves watching newcomers perform on stage, surprising the mentors, and then the mentors scramble to recruit them. That's why the ratings for the later rounds of the competition in this season of The Voice of China weren't very good.

The singers and directors recognized this, which is why they dared to launch their show later in the season when The Voice of China dominated music variety shows.

So Teacher Wang doesn't need to worry too much. In my opinion, The Voice can at least rely on its past success for three more seasons.

I thought Wang Feng had been fighting with too many gods today, which was why he wasn't very interested in continuing to record The Voice, but to my surprise, he shook his head:

"I know all of this, but the real turning point for the decline in the ratings of The Voice of China was when Meng Ziyi withdrew from the competition. If they can't even keep a contestant with both talent and popularity, what future does The Voice of China have?"

Boss Wang really has real talent. The reason why Wang Xiaozhou dared to say that The Voice of China could live off its past success for another three seasons was because he had seen it with his own eyes in his previous life.

Wang Feng was able to deduce that The Voice of China had no future based solely on his own speculation. No wonder he's a man who's spent half his life in the entertainment industry.

"I participated in The Voice of China because of the massive popularity of its first season, which helped me break into the mainstream. If it doesn't have that advantage anymore, there's no point in me participating again. I can't possibly live off my past achievements for a few hundred or tens of millions in appearance fees, can I?"

As expected of Brother Wang Feng, who has countless hit works, there's a level to consider when it comes to making money. He can accept the signing fee when The Voice of China was at its peak, but he can't accept continuing to follow behind them and make easy money after The Voice of China declined.

As the car stopped, Wang Xiaozhou clasped his hands in a final gesture of respect before getting out: "Boss Wang has a grand vision. See you in the martial world again in two months."

Wang Feng was amused by him and laughed heartily. He also clasped his hands in farewell to him.

Back in the apartment, finally having some alone time, Meng Ziyi hugged Wang Xiaozhou and gave him a quick kiss on the cheek.

Wang Xiaozhou raised an eyebrow and grinned mischievously: "What are you doing, reviewing?"

Meng Ziyi blushed and punched him lightly: "What are you thinking? I'm celebrating with you that we won another round on the singing competition."

Wang Xiaozhou waved his hand dismissively: "What's there to celebrate? It was expected."

Meng Ziyi curled her lip: "Keep pretending."

He took off his coat and went to the kitchen to start preparing dinner.

The two rarely eat out when they are together; Meng Ziyi especially enjoys the feeling of being busy in the kitchen at home.

Wang Xiaozhou leaned against the kitchen door frame to keep her company: "What am I pretending for? Do you know how singers in the entertainment industry address me now?"

Qu Die!

I don't think this title is quite right. Wait until you climb up the ranks, and I'll show them how invincible my songs are. I prefer being called "Grandpa" to "Dad".

"Master Qu!"

Meng Ziyi wrinkled her nose: "What do you mean by 'father' and 'grandfather'? This time, Brother Wang Feng helped out. If it were me, I wouldn't be confident of beating Lin Nanshen. I don't even know who I'll face next time. Where does this talk of being invincible come from?"

Wang Xiaozhou smiled confidently: "With Brother Wang helping out this time, will there be no one else next time?"

"what?"

Meng Ziyi put down the spatula in surprise: "Brother Wang Feng performed exceptionally well this episode. The guest performers invited by the other contestants next episode will definitely be of even higher caliber. Can you find anyone more amazing than them?"

Wang Xiaozhou took out his phone and waved it in front of Meng Ziyi: "It was just arranged today. The specific person hasn't been decided yet, but it will definitely be something that no one can expect."

"But hey, isn't your art school entrance exam in Kyoto about to start? Now that your singing career is going so smoothly, aren't you considering switching from film school to music school?"

Meng Ziyi shook her head: "I still want to apply to film school. Anyway, I'm not short of money now, so I might as well do more of what I like. Besides, I think if I can act, I can help you more."

Wang Xiaozhou was speechless, so he changed the subject, saying, "I've booked my plane ticket for tomorrow. What are your plans? Are you coming with me, or going straight to Kyoto?"

Meng Ziyi replied, "I can't leave for now. Sister Xia has arranged a job for me in Linzhou. It seems to be the opening act for a music festival. I'll be singing 'Light,' and it'll be about three days from now."

The money-making expert is online! To be able to invite Meng Ziyi, who is currently so popular, the organizers must have spent a lot of money.

Wang Xiaozhou didn't understand the specifics and didn't get involved much. He only told her to take care of herself before starting to help Meng Ziyi cook.

The two enjoyed some time alone together, and just as they were about to review their lessons, a system notification sounded in Wang Xiaozhou's mind.

"Congratulations, host. You have achieved 20% progress in binding with the target person, Mao Xiaotong. Please check your reward."

This is the short film "Lanruo Temple" starting to gain momentum. I guess Mao Xiaotong's status has now reached the second tier.

Wang Xiaozhou silently pondered to himself, but who cared about the reward!

Wang Xiaozhou was stunned when he threw the cigarette pack at the light switch socket and started reviewing his lessons!

Learning makes me happy!
