Huayu: From the Era of Ringtones to Becoming a Legend

The atmosphere in the lounge was very quiet.

Lu Jiuge sat in the center of the sofa, with Yehenara and Thirty-two Lang sitting opposite her.

Neither of them spoke first, but looked at Lu Jiuge with curiosity, waiting for him to speak first.

Lu Jiuge didn't beat around the bush and went straight to the point:

"Teachers, we've invited you here today to discuss the details of the program's recording."

"The Voice of China adopts a blind audition format, and the core highlight is the mentors vying for contestants."

"I hope that the two of you can be yourself on the show without putting on airs, and create a lot of drama and memorable moments by vying for talent."

Yehenara, with her forthright and frank personality, immediately smiled upon hearing this:

"Mr. Lu, I understand what you mean! Isn't it just about creating buzz and generating hype? That's something I'm good at!"

"Asking me to deliberately put on airs would be contrary to my straightforward and forthright personality!"

Lu Jiuge nodded, and then casually threw out a slogan tailor-made for her:

"The teacher should remember one sentence: When recruiting students, just shout: I'm the only female mentor! One sentence highlights uniqueness, and the audience will remember you at a glance."

"Am I the only female instructor?"

Yehenara's eyes lit up, and she slapped her thigh and laughed:

"Great! That's direct and assertive, I love it! I'll definitely shout it out loud during the recording!"

Compared to Yehenara's straightforwardness, Thirty-two Lang was noticeably more hesitant.

He frowned slightly, his tone tinged with difficulty:

"Mr. Lu, I have no problem recruiting talent and creating entertaining content for the show, but I'm afraid I'll be a little hesitant to shout out fixed slogans!"

"Moreover, my current agency contract has just expired, and I haven't signed with a new company yet, so there are many things I can't do publicly, for fear of causing unnecessary trouble."

Lu Jiuge had anticipated his concerns and smiled:

"Teacher Sanjuro, the slogan I designed for you is only one sentence:"

I have 32 concerts this year. Choose my team, and I'll invite you to be a guest performer!

"This statement not only showcases your abilities but will also become the most memorable moment of the show; the entire internet will remember you!"

Thirty-two was taken aback, clearly not expecting the slogan to be so straightforward and domineering, but considering his own situation, he shook his head:

"Mr. Lu, I don't have a company or resources right now. I can't even put on three concerts, let alone thirty-two. I can't bring myself to say that."

"If you can't get it done, I'll get it done for you!"

Lu Jiuge's tone was decisive, and her words immediately stunned the two of them.

"If you're willing to sign with Qianxing Entertainment, I'll immediately give you ten original hit songs, each one a lead single, each one a guaranteed success!"

"Not only will it elevate your status in the music industry to a new level, but Qianxing Media will also fully fund and support your 32-show national tour, ensuring each show is successfully held!"

Ten hit songs?

Thirty-two concerts?

Sanjuro froze on the spot.

If someone else had said that he could create ten hit songs in one go, Thirty-Two would have laughed at it.

However, in just one year, Lu Jiuge created more than 60 hit songs, dominating the annual music awards.

Faced with such strength, he had no doubt whatsoever.

Thirty-two Lang was stunned for a moment, while Yehenara was filled with envy.

More than two minutes passed before Thirty-two Lang took a deep breath, suppressing his excitement, and hesitated before saying:

"Mr. Lu, I completely believe in ten hit songs, but this is a huge undertaking, and I need to consider it."

Lu Jiuge smiled and did not force her:

"No problem. You don't need to answer now. Just finish recording the show first, and go all out to recruit people and shout slogans. Once the show becomes a hit, you can decide whether to sign a contract or not. I'll be waiting for you."

This generosity and trust warmed Thirty-Two's heart, and he nodded emphatically:

"Okay! Mr. Lu, I'll trust you this once! I'll definitely cooperate fully on the show!"

Having settled everything, the three of them went out together and headed to the recording studio.

With the director's command, the recording of the first episode of "The Voice of China" officially began.

Lu Jiuge did not interfere much during the recording; the focus was mainly on the four mentors.

He knew better than anyone that the success of this show depended entirely on the four mentors.

When the first contestant opened her mouth and sang a stunning song, Yehenara was the first to press the button.

After the contestants finished singing, it was time for the mentors to choose their members. Yehenara was the first to get into character, standing with her hands on her hips and shouting:

"I'm your only female mentor! Follow me, and I'll give you an advantage that none of the other three have!"

Yehenara's bold and domineering demeanor instantly ignited laughter and applause from the entire audience.

When the contestant's singing was phenomenal and all the judges turned around at the same time, Thirty-Two Brothers took a deep breath, put aside all his worries, slammed his hand on the table, stood up, and roared at the contestant with a powerful voice:

"Come join my team! I have 32 concerts this year! I'll bring you as a guest performer on all of them!"

The moment that slogan was shouted, the entire venue erupted in cheers!

Even Liu Huan and Harlin, who were standing to the side, were stunned. The two looked at Thirty-two with surprise on their faces.

Clearly, no one expected that he, who was usually so reserved, would say something so arrogant and memorable.

The two exchanged a glance, both seeing shock in each other's eyes:

This isn't recording a show, this is completely letting loose!

……

The entire recording session was filled with excitement, with intense conflicts during the talent scramble, and Yehenara and Thirty-Two Lang's slogans taking turns to electrify the audience.

Liu Huan and Harlem were initially surprised, but later they were also drawn into the excitement. The four mentors were not giving an inch to each other, and the jokes, highlights, and interesting moments were all flying together, making even the staff on site excited.

The first episode was successfully recorded in just a few hours.

Everyone knew that this show was destined to be a hit.

Time flies, and the day has come for the first episode of "The Voice of China" to officially air.

Shanghai, Yawei Records Cinema.

Qian Jiang sat in the center, surrounded by the heads of all twelve record companies. The table was full of fruit and tea, and the atmosphere was relaxed.

Everyone was there to see Lu Jiuge make a fool of herself.

"Mr. Qian, the show's about to start. Let's see just how bad this lousy program that Lu Jiuge sponsored herself can be!"

"I bet five cents that the ratings will absolutely flop, not even a fraction of Hunan TV's!"

"Just wait, after it airs, we'll join forces and crush Qianxing Entertainment!"

Qian Jiang held his teacup, a sinister smile playing on his lips, his eyes fixed disdainfully on the large screen:

"No rush, let's watch slowly. I want to see if all that effort he put in results in a great voice or a huge joke."

Ten minutes later, the first episode of "The Voice of China" officially began airing!

There was no lengthy preamble, no drawn-out introduction.

The camera cuts to the host, Hua Shao, standing in the center of the stage, facing the camera, speaking rapidly, clearly enunciating, and exuding confidence.

A super-fast 48-second broadcast was delivered in one go without a single pause!

The young man exudes confidence and speaks at lightning speed:

"Welcome to 'The Voice of China,' exclusively sponsored by Jiuyin Electronics!"

"This is a top-tier music stage that doesn't care about looks or background, but only about the voice and the ability to create original songs!"

Four renowned mentors from the Chinese music scene will be on hand, employing a blind audition format, all to discover the most moving voices from China!

After reading the opening remarks of "Divas Hit the Road," the theater fell silent instantly.

Qian Jiang's disdain froze, his eyes fixed on the screen, his face filled with disbelief!

The heads of the twelve record companies were also stunned, their eyes wide and mouths agape as they stared at the screen.

No one expected that the show would start with such an explosive hosting performance!

Such a fast, steady, and impactful announcement completely shattered the opening format of all variety shows!

On the screen, the stage lights suddenly dimmed.

Four mentor chairs, with their backs to the audience, slowly appeared in the center of the camera.

The revolutionary blind selection mode has officially begun!

Qian Jiang's face was grim, and a strong sense of unease welled up in his heart!
