Huayu 2007: Starting with Super Boy!

After returning to the hotel.

Wang Yihan began to study the newly acquired director's equipment.

Don't underestimate it just because it's a green piece of equipment.

But in his opinion, it was no worse than other purple equipment.

Why?

Because of the unique nature of the director's profession.

Keep in mind that this is at the very top of the entertainment industry's hierarchy of contempt.

Okay, at the very top is the film director.

Television directors are considered a lower class.

But it's still much better than singers and actors.

Acquiring this piece of equipment gave him a boost of confidence.

At the same time, the road ahead is even wider.

With an excited heart.

Wang Yihan flew to Changsha.

The final competition for the Super Boy title will kick off tomorrow.

Just before boarding.

He suddenly received a call from his girlfriend.

"Hey, Xiaohua, what's up? My plane's about to take off." Wang Yihan said as she slung her backpack over her shoulder and headed toward the boarding gate.

"Don't fly yet," Zhang Hanyun said anxiously.

"What's wrong?" Wang Yihan stopped, her brows furrowed. "What happened on your end?"

"No, it's nothing, something's wrong."

"But it's not what you think, it's about you, and it's good news!"

"Oh dear, it's hard to explain over the phone right now. I'm busy too. How about this, you reschedule your flight and come to Beijing instead of flying to Xingcheng. Someone wants to see you."

This was the first time Wang Yihan had ever heard his girlfriend speak in such a hurried tone.

What does this have to do with me?

What's wrong?

He wanted to ask for clarification, but the other party hung up the phone, seemingly busy with something and not having time to talk anymore.

It's impossible to change the ticket.

The plane is about to take off, what's the point of changing anything?

It wasn't like when the app was very mature, so changing your reservation could be done quite quickly.

Now...

You need to go to the counter to do it.

It was too late.

I had no choice but to buy another plane ticket to Beijing.

Fortunately, there are many flights to Beijing.

Not long after, Wang Yihan boarded a plane bound for Beijing.

Two and a half hours later.

The plane landed safely.

Wang Yihan walked out of the boarding gate.

As soon as I stepped outside, I saw Zhang Hanyun.

She came running and pounced on him.

"I'm sorry, I was performing at a commercial event just now, and the host called me up on stage, so I didn't have time to explain to you," Zhang Hanyun said, hugging him.

"It's okay, now you can tell me what happened, right? I'm still completely confused." Wang Yihan put her down and took her hand as they walked outside.

"Okay, get in the car first, we'll talk in the car." Zhang Hanyun led him towards the parking lot.

A luxury car appeared in front of us.

"Wow, isn't your company going bankrupt? You're still willing to spend this money?" Wang Yihan asked in surprise.

Zhang Hanyun pursed her lips: "They wouldn't dare to do anything. It's already a kindness of them not to drain me dry. I rented this car especially for you, how about it? Aren't I good?"

She stood on tiptoe and brought her mouth over.

He looked like he was about to reward me.

Wang Yihan smiled, took off her mask, and kissed her.

"Mua! Zhang Hanyun is the best girlfriend in the world, okay?"

"That's a bit perfunctory. Never mind, now's not the time to talk about this. Let's get in the car." Zhang Hanyun pulled him into the car and then instructed the driver to drive.

He then recounted the whole story on the way.

Wang Yihan looked at her strangely: "So, you actually found time for me to find a music company amidst your busy schedule of commercial performances?"

"Hmm, don't underestimate Wheatfield Music. When they worked with Warner Music, they single-handedly created top singers like Pu Shu, Lao Lang, and Ye Bei. After breaking up with them and partnering with Taihe, they signed well-known singers like Man Wenjun, A Duo, and Sha Baoliang. Moreover, a few years ago they acquired Red Star Music, bringing in a group of talented singers like Xu Wei, Zheng Jun, and Tian Zheng. What do you think?"

Zhang Hanyun recounted the details with great familiarity.

It seems she's putting a lot of effort into finding a new partner.

Wang Yihan was quite touched.

that is...

It seems to be a bit different from my plan.

Seemingly worried that her boyfriend wouldn't approve of the company, she continued, "Li Yuchun, the most popular Super Girl contestant, also signed a record deal with Wheatfield Records."

"Oh, why? Why is Tianyu being so kind?" Wang Yihan became curious.

"Of course not. Her management contract is still with Tianyu, but her record deal was transferred from Tianyu to Maitian. They don't have the resources to create a superstar themselves."

Because of her boyfriend's exploitative contract, Zhang Hanyun harbors considerable hostility towards Tianyu.

"Alright, let's go take a look first. If we can't reach an agreement, we can discuss it further later," Zhang Hanyun said, resting her head on his shoulder.

Ok.

He didn't want to disappoint his girlfriend's good intentions.

Let's go see them.

Moreover, the original plan to break away from Tianyu and Mango Group and go solo might not actually work out.

They're not very good at dealing with other music companies.

But they're experts at dealing with a small-time talent show contestant.

We cannot gamble on the enemy's mercy.

Yes, you should always have a backup plan.

My girlfriend pulled this stunt perfectly!

Thinking of this, he bent down and kissed her.

She said gently, "Thank you for your hard work!"

"Oh dear, this is so cheesy, but I like hearing it. Say more." Zhang Hanyun secretly breathed a sigh of relief; this time, she had taken the initiative.

Although the intention was for his own good.

But in the end, I didn't discuss it with him beforehand.

Besides, just because you're doing something for someone else's good, does that mean they'll necessarily accept your "good intentions"?

It is questionable.

It's like some parents who often claim to be doing what's best for their children, but actually do things that harm them.

It's best to avoid this kind of thing in the future.

Taihe Wheat Field.

It used to be called Warner Wheatfield.

A top-tier music company in China.

It is also the absolute leader among mainland Chinese record companies.

It is widely recognized in the industry as the "number one record label in mainland China," second only to international giants such as Sony, Warner, and Universal.

How could Wang Yihan not know?

He was just acting to cooperate with his girlfriend.

The two had just arrived at the company gate.

Then a person greeted them warmly: "Hello, are you Zhang Hanyun and Wang Yihan?"

Wang Yihan was a little flattered.

Because this person is none other than Song Ke, the head of Taihe Wheatfield.

His name is a household name in the music industry.

Although Zhang Liangying, the Super Girl contestant, also brought Ke.

But compared to this person, they are far inferior.

Feng Ke was able to help Zhang Liangying successfully break free from Tianyu's control.

For this person, it was an easy task.

It might just be a matter of a single sentence.

But...

Everything has its advantages and disadvantages.

There is always a trade-off between gaining and losing.

There's no such thing as a free lunch.

Wang Yihan understands this principle.

Therefore, he didn't rely too much on outsiders.

But it can be considered as an alternative.

Taihe Wheat Field, reception room.

Song Ke warmly welcomed the two.

They served the best tea and showed concern for our well-being.

We just didn't get to the point.

Zhang Hanyun was getting a little anxious.

What do I want to say?

But Wang Yihan, who was beside her, secretly grabbed her hand.

He gave her a subtle look, signaling her to calm down.

As stated in game theory.

Whoever speaks first will be at a disadvantage.

Wang Yihan wholeheartedly agreed.

Since the other party didn't want to bring it up, he was happy to play along.

Let's chat about some trivial topics.

Finally, Song Ke couldn't hold back any longer and laughed self-deprecatingly, "Looks like my self-control isn't even as good as a young kid like you!"

"The younger generation is truly formidable!"
