Chapter 124 Special Invitation to the Heavenly King

"Despite being out of the industry for ten years, the atmosphere of the entertainment circle in Bay Area has hardly changed."

"The first thing to be affected is the xenophobic mentality between those inside and outside the circle."

"This is an advantage. Foreign cultures have tried to invade Wanzhou more than once, but they have all ended in failure over the past century."

"However, it is also a drawback, as it indirectly leads to the high degree of isolation in the entertainment industry in Bay Area."

Ning Yuanqing seemed a little thirsty, and Chen Tianye understood immediately, so he quickly handed him the brewed tea.

This veteran king of Bay Area who visited Tianrui is truly a treasure.

They provided them with many ideas, especially regarding how to navigate the Bay Area.

Even Zhou Rongze became more humble and eager to learn.

Thinking back to my previous plan to close the door to visitors, I almost wanted to slap myself.

Ning Yuanqing took a sip of tea and continued speaking.

"Secondly, it's about unity."

"Don't be fooled by the fact that major entertainment companies often fight to the death. When faced with cultural invasion from abroad, they will put aside their past grievances and unite to fight against it."

"In the past, the Cultural and Entertainment Chamber of Commerce of the floating island nation attempted to bribe some influential artists to promote their cultural products in Bay State."

"Furthermore, they offered a reward that was hard to refuse."

"Unfortunately, from entertainment companies to artists, everyone voiced their opposition. In less than three days, the chamber of commerce slunk away from Wanzhou."

"Speaking of which, your company's Mr. Sun Youlin has some grudges with this chamber of commerce."

"I refused the chamber of commerce's offer to be my spokesperson, and that's why I was retaliated against afterwards."

Zhou Rongze frowned slightly: "Let me interject. These are two different things. Whether it's Xiazhou, Yuezhou, or Wanzhou, we are all one family."

That makes sense.

"But this does not mean that there is no xenophobic sentiment in Wanzhou."

"It's just that compared to foreign cultures, the xenophobia isn't as radical."

What Ning Yuanqing said was also what Zhou Rongze was most worried about.

Exclusionary.

This was something he was familiar with.

Before Lin Rui rose to prominence, weren't the two states of Hua and Xia like this?

If this were applied to someone else, it would be an unsolvable problem.

But if it were Lin Rui, perhaps the problem would be easily solved.

This kid is a miracle maker!

At this moment, both Zhou Rongze and Chen Tianye looked at Lin Rui.

Lin Rui was speechless.

I'm just having some tea and relaxing. You guys chat, why are you looking at me?

Seeing that Ning Yuanqing was also looking at him, Lin Rui had no choice but to put down his teacup: "Mr. Ning, if the singer from Wanzhou joins Tianrui, will his songs be able to win the support of the people of Wanzhou?"

"Can."

"However, this singer must have a great influence in the Bay Area. Ideally, they should be a superstar or a top-tier artist."

"However, as I just said, the entertainment industry in the Bay Area has reached the point of self-isolation and almost never accepts invitations from other states."

"and…"

As he was speaking, Ning Yuanqing suddenly couldn't continue.

He felt a chill run down his spine.

no.

What kind of looks are those?

"Let me state first that I have been out of the industry for a long time."

"It's just fading out of the circle, not retiring from it."

Zhou Rongze didn't give Ning Yuanqing a chance to refuse.

This is a Taiwanese artist who came to our doorstep, and he's a superstar!

Moreover, Ning Yuanqing has an excellent reputation in Wanzhou.

His long-term involvement in philanthropy, even after stepping back from the public eye, has not diminished his influence in the Bay Area.

"From the moment I faded out of the industry, I never thought of picking up the microphone again."

"Even if I were to take up the microphone again, I should rightfully stand in Wanzhou."

Zhou Rongze seemed to have already guessed that Ning Yuanqing would use this as an excuse, and his smile deepened.

“Mr. Ning, your statement makes me feel that you are being overly hypocritical.”

"Double standards?"

Ning Yuanqing was somewhat puzzled.

"You just expressed your support for unlocking the cultural wall in 18 states."

"This is enough to prove that you are an enlightened person, but now you are using regionalism as an excuse to shirk responsibility, which makes it hard not to doubt your true intentions."

"Do you perhaps think that Xia Prefecture and Wan Prefecture are not one family?"

Ning Yuanqing was speechless, and hurriedly waved his hands: "That's not what I meant, I..."

"If that's not what you mean, then why are you making excuses?"

"Imagine if you released a song under the name of Tianrui, wouldn't that bring Xiazhou and Wanzhou closer together?"

"Will the xenophobia you've repeatedly mentioned become smaller?"

"Given the current situation, as a highly influential public figure in Bay Area, shouldn't you set an example and proactively break down this narrow-minded, fixed mindset based on regionalism?"
