As the chairman of Huayu Entertainment, Hua Guozhong was naturally not to be outdone, and his speech was of a very high standard.
"A singer is talented for creating good songs, but an entertainment company owner who takes away his employees' jobs over a long period of time is unethical. Our original intention at Huayu has always been to help singers and actors grow, unlike some people who give themselves the best songs and give their artists the worst songs."
This is a blatant mockery of Chen Feng, because his songs are currently dominating the major music charts, while none of the songs sung by Mao Buyi and Qin Xiaoyue have reached the top.
The song tonight is the same, a song that has lasted for ten years, and it has dominated the world, but why not let someone else sing it?
"Holy crap, even the boss of Huayu Entertainment has come out. Are Fengyu and Huayu Entertainment going to fight to the death?"
"Putting aside right and wrong, who is that piece of trash looking at the white clouds in the woods? What right does he have to comment on the Wind God? It's fine for gods to fight, but what right does a stinking jerk like you have to interfere?"
"The person upstairs is right. That guy is Lin Yun, isn't he? He's always jumping around, trying to get his mother's attention. What a piece of trash."
"Damn it, I've discovered that all of this is related to this scum. Everyone remembers when I made my debut as Fengshen, right? Now that I think about it, Fengshen deliberately went up to step on him."
"Rumor has it that Fengshen had a girlfriend before, but she cheated on him while he was in the hospital, and the other woman was Lin Yun."
"No way, add me upstairs and I'll explain in detail. I love this kind of gossip the most."
The comments section gradually veered off course, all heading in Lin Yun's direction.
This left Lin Yun, who was reading the comments, completely dumbfounded. What the hell? Are netizens' thought processes abnormal? Why are they all targeting him and criticizing him?
Chen Feng smiled slightly as he looked at the comments.
"Thanks for your suggestion. I've decided that after releasing the song tonight, I'll send all the artists under my management to the top of the charts. What do you think?"
Hua Guozhong was stunned for a moment, a surge of anger welling up inside him.
What do I think? I think it's fucking awesome.
He didn't doubt that this guy might actually be able to do it, but as the head of Huayu Dragon, he certainly couldn't back down.
"Hehe, anyone can talk big, but you have to be able to do it before you talk."
Chen Feng: "Just talking isn't very interesting. How about we make a bet?"
Hua Guozhong: "You tell me first."
Chen Feng: "If I succeed, your Huayu Entertainment will be acquired by Fengyu; if I fail, I will retire from the music industry. What do you think?"
Holy crap, Hua Guozhong hadn't even reacted yet, but Yang Zhi immediately perked up. This was a golden opportunity!
"Who keeps their word? I promise you."
He replied directly.
Chen Feng: ? ? ?
Hua Guozhong: ? ? ?
Netizens: ? ? ?
Chen Feng: "Who the hell are you? Promise me! When did Huayu become owned by the Yang family? How can a director have so much power?"
Hua Guozhong: "......"
Yang Zhi realized he had overstepped his bounds, so he quickly ran to the chairman's office, bent down, and excitedly explained his plan.
"Chairman Chen Feng's statement on the internet has given us a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity; taking him down is just around the corner."
Hua Guozhong was also very interested; he was well aware of the intricacies involved.
Now that Chen Feng has risen to prominence, his company's revenue is shrinking, and the situation with music albums is even more dire. If things continue like this, Huayu Music will be completely finished.
This is why, even though Hua Guozhong knew that Chen Feng had powerful backers, he still supported Yang Zhi's decision to unite singers and the Chinese Language Association to suppress Chen Feng.
"We need to come up with a solution as soon as possible."
"It's very simple. There are eight major music charts. If he fails on just one of them, he can quit the internet."
"We only need to focus our efforts on one chart and make sure that the songs of his artists don't reach number one, then we'll consider it a success."
Hua Guozhong frowned: "But are we sure? We have to admit his talent; it's like he's got a cheat code. You can't guarantee he won't achieve it."
Yang Zhi was confident: "So what if he can write the songs that are currently dominating the charts? We'll criticize him first and then praise him. If we can't defeat him, then let him defeat himself."
"Be more specific."
"For example, on the Top Ten Chinese Music Chart's Youth Chart, the song currently ranked number one is 'My Deskmate.' If he can get one of his artists to sing a song that's even better, we'll first aggressively criticize the new song. If that doesn't work, then we'll do the opposite and directly promote 'My Deskmate' extensively."
“I checked, and ‘My Deskmate’ was Chen Feng’s debut song. It has a wide audience and evoked countless memories. It would be difficult for him to surpass it. With a newcomer singing it, hehe, all he needs to do is increase the promotion. This song can continue to rise.”
Hua Guozhong nodded. "Indeed, there is an opportunity this time."
"But what if he goes back on his word?"
"If he doesn't keep the promise he made in front of so many netizens, wouldn't that be even better? We don't even need to lift a finger; the entire internet can tear him apart."
"What if he succeeds? Should I really give him my company?"
Hua Guozhong still had concerns.
"Chairman, even if he succeeds, Huayu isn't something he can acquire just like that. There will be all sorts of procedures, shareholder issues, and various shady reasons involved... you know what I mean, hehe..."
After some discussion, the two of them smiled again, a smile they hadn't shown in a long time.
Hua Guozhong tagged Chen Feng online.
"After consideration, I, on behalf of Huayu, accept your bet. I hope you will keep your word. One month is the time limit, how about it?"
The entire internet exploded, especially Chen Feng's fans, who were frantically tagging him.
"Don't fall for Fengshen's tricks. I know your songs are awesome, but don't be too confident."
"That's right. There's always a chance they'll cheat. You should back down now and take back your bet."
"No, Fengshen, I don't agree to this bet."
"Fengshen, this is no joke. Do you know that all ten of the top Chinese music charts are your songs? Do you know how popular those songs are?"
"If you really want to gamble, please choose a different bet. I beg you, newcomers really can't carry your songs, you can't make it on the charts."
Yang Zhi laughed heartily when he saw the comments from netizens. This time, he was determined to make Chen Feng suffer an unbearable fate.
Lin Yun was also laughing heartily in his room. He had turned off the gas cylinder next to him and decided to wait for the time being.
"This Chen Feng is such an idiot. You can't be too confident. He's a newcomer and he wants to be number one. What was he thinking?"
Zhao Yashuang was also somewhat puzzled.
"Doesn't he know how difficult his own songs are to play?"
At this moment, many people were shocked by Chen Feng's audacity at the Wind Whisper Building.
Even Li Qingning's expression changed.
"Chen Feng, I know you are very good at music, but isn't this bet a bit too frivolous?"
"Yes, boss, while there's still time, don't reply yet."
"Boss, this is no joke, maybe we should just forget about it."
At this moment, Mao Buyi, Qin Xiaoyue, Wang Feng, and others were all trying to persuade him.
"Xiao Chen, you can be confident, but you must always have a backup plan."
Li Zongsheng also spoke.
Chen Feng laughed and said, "Don't worry, since I dare to say it, I'm confident I can do it. Just watch."
Chen Feng replied immediately.
"No problem, the whole internet is witnessing it."
This reply was like a volcanic eruption.
