"Forehead…"
"But that artist must have a lot of appearances in China, would they be interested in coming here?"
"It's said that Hollywood is contacting him, wanting to remake 'Infernal Affairs'."
Director Shin Ho-won, who was already used to Yoo Jae-suk's quirky personality, stopped rolling the grilled meat.
After a moment's thought, he threw the same question back at Yoo Jae-suk.
If it were an ordinary artist from China, they would be overjoyed to receive an invitation from Running Man.
Even if they had to pay for it themselves, they would probably be eager to come and participate in the recording.
What's more, he was doing a show with world-renowned superstar Jackie Chan.
But if this person is Wang Yueheng, then it's hard to say.
After all, even Jackie Chan had to ask this artist for help back then!
How will you know if you don't try?
"If Bei Xuan is Wang Yueheng, then that newcomer named Zhu Ting should also be an artist from Hengxue Studio, right?"
"Since his own artists are developing their careers in South Korea, his boss should come here sooner or later."
The shrewd and calculating Yoo Jae-suk hit the nail on the head.
"Huh, Zhu Ting? That name sounds familiar."
Shen Haoyuan paused for a moment and asked.
"That's the new female singer from China who sang 'La La La'."
"Love, oh love, my love~"
"The love I can't have, the love that breaks my heart."
Suddenly, Kim Tae-ho, Yoo Jae-suk's personal cameraman and PD, interrupted and, clutching his chest, sang a passionate verse.
"Oh, it's her, I remember now."
Shen Haoyuan was taken aback; no wonder the name sounded familiar.
When the song "La La La" was first released, it almost dominated the top of all major music charts in South Korea.
It's still in the top ten, and its popularity hasn't waned at all.
"However, it seems that singer Zhu Ting has run into trouble."
"She doesn't get many performance opportunities."
“My wife is a fan of this girl from China. Recently, she was complaining at home that the South Korean entertainment industry is particularly xenophobic and doesn’t give her performance opportunities.”
Ji Suk-jin, who had been silent all along, suddenly spoke up again.
"Of course."
"Without a top-tier agency like MS protecting you, and without a wealthy patron throwing money at you, how can you possibly get resources just by singing well?"
"If she wants to become famous, she should at least learn to dress sexily and go out to drink with customers."
As a variety show PD, Shin Ho-won naturally has a deep understanding of the inside story of the domestic entertainment industry.
To become famous, you either need a wealthy patron to support you.
Alternatively, they could simply sign a contract with major talent agencies, working day and night and risking their lives for money.
As for where these one-sided sugar daddies come from.
Only the celebrities themselves know the truth...
"Why don't we give female singer Zhu Ting a chance to appear on the show and attract Wang Yueheng to participate in the recording?"
"Of course, the focus of the program is still on our guest, Jackie Chan."
Yoo Jae-suk took a sip of sake and then made the suggestion.
"You can give it a try."
"Or should we give Zhu Ting a chance to perform on SBS's 'Inkigayo'?"
"As for whether we can invite Wang Yueheng, it depends on the appeal of our program to him."
PD Shin Ho-won nodded, picked up a piece of grilled meat, and put it in his mouth.
"Inkigayo" is a well-known music variety show on South Korean broadcaster SBS.
Similarly, it is also a live broadcast format, inviting popular singers or music groups to perform songs live every week.
He is the chief director of the popular reality show "Running Monday".
Shin Ho-won does have some influence when recommending guests for other SBS variety shows.
"Then it's settled."
"The production team should contact Brother Cheng Long and Wang Yueheng as soon as possible!"
Yoo Jae-suk, the top male host of the Running Man program, spoke excitedly with a slightly flushed face under the influence of alcohol.
...
Congratulations, congratulations to Teacher Yue Heng!
Your performance tonight was fantastic!
"I heard that Hunan TV is paying attention to your performance!"...
After Wang Yueheng finished revealing his identity and walked off the stage.
The surrounding staff and contestants waiting in the wings gathered around to offer their congratulations.
Of course, apart from Zhao Ouhao.
He sat alone in his seat, not daring to even glance in Wang Yueheng's direction.
I felt like I was sitting on pins and needles, like I had thorns in my back.
She bent over and lowered her head, pretending to be thinking about something, afraid that Wang Yueheng would notice her.
However, Wang Yueheng acted as if nothing had happened.
After responding to the congratulations from others, she didn't even glance at Zhao Ouhao and went straight back to her own lounge.
"Oh, what a pity."
"Once Wang Yueheng steps off the stage, our show's popularity will also face a drop..."
"Fortunately, the performance on 'Singer' is almost over, so the popularity won't go too far away."
Director Jiang Yafei stared at the steadily declining number of online viewers, secretly lamenting the situation.
However, that was just the highlight of the moment.
That alone is enough to bring the show a huge amount of popularity.
Once the editing is complete and it's broadcast live on TV, the advertising revenue during that time slot will also increase significantly.
This can be considered a perfect end to the recording of the first season of "Masked Singer".
"Yue Heng, Miyata Shun from Ghibli Animation just called me personally."
"I'm hoping to acquire the overseas cover rights for 'The Wind Rises,' is that possible?"
"In addition, WarnerMedia Studios wanted to buy the film and television remake rights to 'Infernal Affairs,' but I politely declined, as you had previously suggested."
Back in the lounge, Wang Yueheng glanced at his phone while changing clothes.
I discovered a WeChat message from Mo Zixue.
In addition, there were many messages of amazement or congratulations from friends in the industry.
Most people were incredibly surprised that he had participated in "Masked Singer" for so long while keeping his identity hidden.
“Miyata Shun…”
Upon seeing this name, Wang Yueheng immediately recalled a string of works related to the person in question.
Classic scenes unfold under the brush.
If it were another Japanese artist who wanted to buy or cover the copyright of their own work...
Wang Yueheng will most likely refuse outright.
But for this cartoon master who loves peace and is willing to face the truth of history even at the risk of being threatened by domestic extremists.
Wang Yueheng also prefers to choose to cooperate.
After all, if I want to step onto the world stage in the future...
We also received help from some international friends.
In the words of that pioneer.
Unite all forces that can be united, and make many friends.
“We can collaborate directly with Shun Miyata himself to sell the rights to the anime insert song ‘The Wind Rises’.”
"The rights to cover songs can also be discussed, but the cover singers chosen by the other party must obtain the consent of Hengxue Entertainment."
After a moment's thought, Wang Yueheng quickly sent a message to Mo Zixue.
Despite having a favorable impression of Miyata Shun himself.
However, this does not mean that Wang Yueheng would blindly trust the other party.
What if the cover singer they find is a foreign artist who inherently discriminates against or looks down on Chinese culture?
That was also unacceptable to Wang Yueheng.
"Okay, congratulations on successfully completing the Masked Singer finals!"
"The entire internet is now focused on your real identity."
"It's said that the contestants and directors of Hunan TV's 'I Am a Singer' are watching your performances privately."
Upon receiving Wang Yueheng's message, Mo Zixue quickly sent a series of messages to congratulate her boyfriend.
