Entertainment: This top celebrity is really letting loose!

Should I introduce a female classmate to audition?

Sun Weiwei never dreamed that the other party would make such a bizarre request.

I'm a professionally trained singer who graduated from Magic Voice, standing right in front of you, and you actually want me to help you find someone else?

Am I not a human being?

Just as she was about to explain her purpose, Zhou Yang said with a regretful expression, "Actually, I was originally considering having you sing this song, but I was afraid..."

"What's there to be afraid of?"

Sun Weiwei's heart was once again in her throat.

"I was worried about jeopardizing your bright future at other companies, so yesterday in Sister Wang's office you said you wanted to terminate your contract."

Upon hearing this, Sun Weiwei almost wanted to move to Bengbu. She thought to herself, "If I can debut here, have singing opportunities, and a promising future, why would I voluntarily terminate my contract and go to another company? Isn't that crazy?"

"Actually...actually, I could have chosen not to terminate the contract."

Although the words were spoken, they were as soft as a mosquito's buzz.

"What did you say? I can't hear you."

Zhou Yang placed his hand beside his ear, making a trumpet shape.

"I said... I can keep my contract; I really want to sing this song."

This time, her voice was much louder, but her pretty face turned red.

Zhou Yang finally "realized" and then deliberately said, "There's something I forgot to tell you. Actually, this song was originally chosen for you."

"What? Then what you were just now... you were..."

"Just now? I was just trying to liven things up."

His smile was exceptionally bright, like a villain in a TV drama who had succeeded.

"You scoundrel..."

The words were on the tip of her tongue, but Sun Weiwei ultimately didn't utter them.

Although the guy in front of her had deliberately teased her, he had actually given her a valuable opportunity to debut. Moreover, the song "All the Way to Bloom" was quite good, and she might really have a chance to make a name for herself in the pop music scene.

"What are you standing there for? Hurry up and go record the song, little chili pepper."

"What kind of small chili pepper?"

"Aren't you just a little spicy pepper?"

"I...I'll make you burn from the spiciness."

"..."

Half an hour later, the two arrived at the recording studio, bickering.

When Sun Weiwei finally started singing, it still surprised him greatly, even delighted him.

Her voice is exceptional, even possessing a cool and aloof quality that contrasts sharply with her outwardly fiery personality.

In addition, this girl has an outstanding vocal power, with the potential to have "giant lungs," and her high notes are incredibly stable.

After listening to the whole song, Zhou Yang even felt that her version of "All the Way to Bloom" had surpassed her previous "Wen version," after all, this "little spicy" talent was too strong.

How could such a promising talent have been sidelined by the company for two years?

On second thought, he understood. Although Star Entertainment had previously ranked among the top ten in the domestic entertainment industry, the entire company's strategy boiled down to one sentence: how to properly and continuously exploit Zhou Yang, a top star.

Furthermore, the company lacks a proper composition department and production talent; even the best genius is destined to remain in a corner gathering dust.

On the other side, Wang Man browsed Weibo entertainment news for a while before going to the general manager's office again.

"Mr. Lei."

"Director Wang, what can I do for you?"

Wang Man sat down by herself and said, "President Lei, I just saw that Teacher Wei Ran officially announced on Weibo that he has joined Heyue Times."

The latter nodded: "I saw it too."

"You visited us several times before, and even offered better terms than your competitors. I never expected that Mr. Wei Ran would join Heyue Times directly."

You could tell from her tone that she was a little annoyed, after all, her company had been looked down upon or even ignored by the other party in this matter.

"There's nothing we can do about it. Heyue Times ranks seventh in revenue in the Chinese entertainment industry, and their strength is inherently stronger than ours. Besides, they have several top-tier singers in their ranks, and pop music has always been their main development direction. Wei Ran's choice is understandable."

As a renowned composer in the industry, Wei Ran naturally wants to earn money "upright." Compared to Star Entertainment, which focuses on exploiting audiences for profit, Heyue Times, which is stronger and more talent-oriented, is undoubtedly the first choice.

"I can understand what you're saying, but I'm not feeling too comfortable. This Heyue Times already has Ke Ximin, who is ranked 20th, and now with the addition of Wei Ran as a new force, their strength has suddenly widened the gap with their peers by a lot."

"That's true, but Yijia Entertainment is still the leading force in the Chinese pop music industry. Heyue Times has only stirred up a small ripple this time."

After saying that, Lei Mingkai immediately asked, "By the way, what has Zhou Yang been up to lately? I haven't seen him at all."

The strength or weakness of other companies doesn't matter much to Xingchen Entertainment for the time being, but Zhou Yang, a top star, is different. Every move he makes affects the company's pulse, and the previous series of negative impacts have really made this general manager a little scared.

"As you instructed, I gave him a three-month leave, but he recently wrote another song and is currently busy finding a singer to record it."

"He wrote another song?"

Upon hearing this news, Lei Mingkai immediately thought of the song "Last-Time Cramming," but then waved his hand helplessly and said, "That's fine too, as long as he doesn't go out and cause trouble, it's all good."

Although writing these bad songs might attract criticism from the mainstream music industry or media, at least it can generate some visibility. Plus, with a large enough number of die-hard fans, it can also contribute to the company's revenue.

As the two of them had discussed, Wei Ran and Heyue Era unsurprisingly became the focus of discussion among fans and industry insiders.

In the Chinese pop music scene, over 90% of hit songs are produced by top-tier producers. In other words, having a top-tier producer like Wei Ran is equivalent to having a small "hit song production machine."

"Unexpectedly, Heyue Times has become the big winner. Now, with two top-notch composers at its disposal, it has become a major disruptor in the Chinese pop music industry."

"Their strength is indeed greater than before, but it's simply impossible for them to shake the leader, Yijia Entertainment."

"What the person upstairs said makes sense. With three top-notch composers, all of whom are ranked in the top ten, Yijia Entertainment remains the undisputed hegemon of the Chinese music scene."

"However, the strength of Heyue Times is now completely different from what it used to be. With two gold medal composers at its disposal, it is hoped that it will produce its first king and queen of pop in the future."

"Following up from the previous comment, I can only say there's a chance, since the threshold for both platinum albums and Golden Melody Awards is too high these days."

"Looking forward to Wei Ran's first song after changing his new label."

"..."

As the biggest winner of this round, Heyue Times didn't keep people waiting long. A few days later, they posted on their Weibo: "Thank you all for your concern and love for Teacher Wei Ran. His first song after joining the company is already in preparation. Please look forward to it."

A new song is indeed coming.

Wei Ran, the award-winning composer, needs to pledge his loyalty to his new employer, proving that he is still as good as ever. As for Heyue Times, they also want to capitalize on the current wave of popularity and buzz, so the two sides hit it off immediately.

Star Entertainment.

"Sister Wang, I'm back."

After nearly two weeks of working in the recording studio, Zhou Yang finally returned to the company.

"I heard you practically acted as half a producer this time. Did you sign the contract?"

Wang Man joked.

As a songwriter, Zhou Yan doesn't need to be on set all the time, but "All the Way to Bloom" is, after all, his first "public" work. To ensure quality, he supervised the entire post-production process, including arrangement, mixing, and mastering.

"It's already signed. The download revenue sharing will be based on the standards for intermediate composers."

When a song is downloaded, the website or platform takes 35% of the revenue, while Star Entertainment, as the producer, distributor, and post-production promoter, takes 50%.

Zhou Yang, as the lyricist and composer, will receive 10%, while singer Sun Weiwei will only receive 5%.

Of course, composers and singers of different levels in the music industry receive different treatment. For example, top-tier composers, in addition to receiving normal download revenue, also receive commissions from almost all channels such as concerts, variety shows, and music videos.

As for composers without fame or historical achievements, most of them are bought out for a small fee in the early stages, and even if their works become popular later, it has nothing to do with them.

Clearly, Zhou Yang's share of the profits was quite good.

"Alright, if there's nothing else, you should go back and get some rest."

Wang Man didn't care about the quality of the new song or whether it would make money; it was just a matter of spending some money to make her top idol happy.

"Sister Wang, I plan to release the new song on the first of next month. I'll need you to put in a lot of effort in promoting it."

"It's being shipped on the first of next month? Is it in such a hurry?"

Upon hearing this news, Wang Man suddenly hesitated.

"What's wrong? Is there a problem?"
