Of course, this also includes some speculations about the World Arts Conference.

Until this moment.

Ning Yuanqing then understood why Chen Bin completely looked down on his charity plan.

He did not question the veracity of these words.

As the general manager of Tianrui, Zhou Rongze had no reason to play such absurd and bizarre jokes on him.

"Have Yuezhou and Wanzhou also received the news?"

After the initial shock, Ning Yuanqing quickly calmed down.

“In the past few days, people from Yuezhou and Wanzhou have indeed come, trying to poach Xiazhou’s top producer with high salaries.”

"It is said that many top producers have had contact with them privately."

Ning Yuanqing was not surprised by Chen Tianye's answer.

"That's right."

"May I ask, what is your attitude towards the states unlocking their cultural walls?"

Ning Yuanqing seemed to be thinking about many things, but he remained calm and composed.

Zhou Rongze hardly hesitated.

"Naturally, we eagerly await it."

“Once the cultural wall is unlocked and information is shared among states, this market will only grow larger.”

"I believe that any entertainment company that aspires to grow big would be happy to see this happen."

Ning Yuanqing nodded, then shook his head.

"Did I say something wrong?" Zhou Rongze frowned slightly.

"Once the cultural wall is unlocked, the entertainment industry will indeed undergo earth-shattering changes."

"But Mr. Zhou, you've overlooked one issue."

"human nature."

"Not everyone wants the pie to get bigger."

"Especially small and medium-sized companies."

"They have been struggling at the bottom for years. As the market grows, it will not make them better. Instead, it will suddenly bring them a lot more competitors."

Ning Yuanqing's words are not without merit.

However, Zhou Rongze disagreed: "Survival of the fittest. When that day comes, no industry can remain unaffected."

"Mr. Ning, from your perspective, what is your attitude?"

"I?"

Faced with Chen Tianye's question, Ning Yuanqing pondered for a moment, then answered with a serious expression.

"I hope the cultural wall will be completely dismantled."

"It's just too difficult."

“Apart from the top companies in each state, everyone else is hoping this day will come as late as possible.”

"Even the kings and queens of each state are the same."

"Because that would mean their influence and exposure would be greatly affected."

Ning Yuanqing glanced at Zhou Rongze with a half-smile as he said this.

"Presumably, President Zhou has made quite a few contacts with the top stars in Xiazhou in order to achieve good results in the three-list merging competition, right?"

"Of course, I didn't expect the ending to be good, right?"

Zhou Rongze looked somewhat embarrassed: "How did you know?"

"It's a guess, and not hard to guess."

"Given the current uncertain situation, if I were in that situation, I would also choose to wait and see."

"Everyone knows that the most anxious people right now are undoubtedly the leading companies in each state."

"Moreover, in this competition for the rankings, we should consider the works themselves. Only a good work can attract more recognition."

"You should know that Wanzhou and Yuezhou do not recognize the Heavenly King and Queen of Xiazhou."

"The same logic applies here; the top stars of Wanzhou and Yuezhou don't know each other in Xiazhou either."

"So I think that instead of wasting time on superstars, we should focus on figuring out what kind of songs Yuezhou and Wanzhou like."

Ning Yuanqing's words, which were like a sudden awakening, were extremely pleasing to Zhou Rongze and Chen Tianye.

"In this battle for the rankings, I'm more optimistic about Xia Zhou."

"Yuezhou has a population of less than 4 billion, and Wanzhou has even less, barely breaking the 3 billion mark last year."

"In terms of population, Xiazhou firmly holds the advantage with tens of billions."

"This doesn't even take into account Fusheng's influence in Huazhou. If things are managed well, taking the top spot won't be difficult."

"However, we must not let our guard down."

"Yuezhou has been subject to the invasion of foreign cultures for over a century. It can be said that their acceptance of Mandarin songs is generally very low."

Ning Yuanqing's expression turned serious: "As for Wanzhou, it's even more troublesome."
