"Of course not."
Li Gui exclaimed in surprise, "My daughter is a fan of Teacher Zhaoyang. When Wanxia announced his retirement from the entertainment industry, my daughter was still lamenting in the group chat and was sad for quite a while... By the way, Teacher Zhaoyang, could I have an autographed photo of you?"
My daughter would be overjoyed if she could get an autographed photo.
"Can."
After chatting for a while, Zhang Xincheng and Gou Yingjun saw the two distinguished guests from Xingguang off.
Before leaving, Li Gui exclaimed in amazement, "I never imagined that Teacher Zhaoyang was such a good writer of English songs. It's a real pity that he didn't develop his career in China."
I wonder what the official leaders of the Chinese music scene will look like after Li Zhaoyang makes a name for himself in the American music scene.
That would be even uglier than crying, wouldn't it?
It's already 9 PM.
Only a handful of people remained in the entire company.
Standing outside the company entrance, Zhang Xincheng had his hands in his pockets. The storm was brewing, and everything was ready except for the final push: "The English song is just a prelude... This big surprise will definitely amaze everyone."
Supervisor Gou chuckled: "Director, I've got the manpower ready, and we're ready to promote that ancient-style song anytime."
"No rush. Once the Sihai Group realizes they've been tricked, they'll definitely take action. That's when it's your turn to strike."
That will be the peak of the traffic.
With the release of the exceptionally high-quality song "Sunny Day" by Wanxia, Li Zhaoyang's name will be initially exposed to the view of most American audiences, along with the singer Zhao Tianhe.
Upon hearing the director's words, Supervisor Gou was already impatient, wishing it were tomorrow night.
It's truly a chain reaction.
"Zhaoyang, think of a stage name," Zhang Shulan asked. "This stage name won't last long; we'll change it back to our original name afterward."
She knew about what happened to Zhaoyang in the country, and might be very resistant to the stage name.
“Mu Zi,” Li Zhaoyang said.
The character "木" (mu) combined with "子" (zi) forms the character "李" (li).
"Okay." Zhang Shulan patted his shoulder: "You've worked hard this time."
“I didn’t do anything the whole time, so I should be the one saying that.” Li Zhaoyang witnessed the whole process and felt that the director’s plan was highly feasible.
"No, you are the core of this plan. Without those two songs, the plan could not have been carried out. It's mainly because you did a great job." If it were any other song, Zhang Shulan would not be able to find a counterattack plan for a while.
Therefore, the key link in the plan lies in Zhaoyang.
Without his new songs, there would be no follow-up plans.
"Alright, you can all go home now." Zhang Shulan told the supervisors to leave work before taking a taxi back with Zhaoyang.
Zhiqi had previously said she would come to pick her up, but she refused. Not knowing when she would finish her work, she told Zhiqi to go home first.
...
Early the next morning.
Sihai Group.
Music Minister Noda Kazuto personally summoned Kimura Taro to his office to inquire about the situation.
Kimura has already reported on yesterday's negotiations.
Noda still wanted to ask in person.
“I saw the official announcement for Sunset’s new song, what song is ‘Sell It All’?” Noda Kazuto asked.
"I don't know, I'll just say it's comparable to the God of Songs."
Kimura Taro replied, "Minister, don't worry about that. I already reported it last night. That guy is just a hothead. It's impossible for him to write a masterpiece that can rival the God of Music. That's too far-fetched. Besides, the head of the composition department, Evening Glow, has a terrible temperament. I had to provoke him to announce the new song directly."
Noda Kazuto nodded coldly: "Alright, go ahead and get busy."
Then, Noda called his secretary over and instructed her: "Since Sunset is releasing a new song at 8 pm tonight, our two albums will also be released tonight."
Female secretary: "Should we release it directly?"
Noda Kazuto: "We'll release it after some promotion. Evening Glow will definitely promote it. I'll arrange for people to compare Evening Glow's new song with our Sihai's album in advance. The difference will be obvious, giving Evening Glow a heavy blow. Then, using this popularity, we'll sideline Evening Glow and poach all their artists."
"Okay, Minister, is there anything else?"
"Please also invite Ms. Wen Lan and Ms. Jing Qiu in."
"Um."
A few minutes after the secretary left, two women in high heels knocked on the door and came in.
"Minister, you wanted to see us?" Zhang Wenlan asked.
“You’re from Sunset Glow. After our album is released at 8 PM tonight, you two will be in charge of the hype. Compare Sunset Glow’s songs with our Four Seas album, and then you two will be the ones to poach Sunset Glow’s artists.” Noda Kazuto felt that no one was more suitable than these two beautiful ladies.
"Alright!" Zhang Wenlan had been waiting for this moment for a long time.
"Don't worry, Minister, we will poach our former colleagues at the right time." Zuo Jingqiu really enjoyed the job of recruiting people.
"Next month is the International Music Exchange Festival, which will be held in the United States this year. I will try my best to get two spots for you to record the works created at the festival." Noda Kazuto really liked the two women's work attitude.
Not only does she have singing talent, but she also contributed valuable intelligence shortly after signing with the group.
Such talent should be vigorously promoted.
"Thank you, Minister!" The two women nodded emphatically.
They should have signed with Sihai a long time ago. They've been stubbornly sticking with Wanxia. Although they have no shortage of song resources, their potential for development is too limited.
Look at Sihai Group, it's no wonder they're a Fortune 500 company. They've just signed on and they're already getting works created at the exchange festival.
The works created at the exchange festival are of very high quality; any one of them could easily become a million-dollar bestseller, and there might even be a few that become tens of millions of dollars in sales.
"Alright, you can all leave now. Tonight, you should prepare how to attack the sunset."
