A slightly cold voice came from the other end.
"Oh, then send it to my agent's email. I'll take a look when I have time."
"Okay."
The other party hung up directly.
Liang Yin said, "Zhang Yiran is so indifferent?"
Lin Chudong said, "It's normal. Everyone in the industry knows that I'm working on my own now, with no capital backing me, so they don't bother with me."
"The entertainment industry is where you experience the most of the ups and downs of human relationships. But it doesn't matter, maybe she'll come to me to talk after hearing the song."
Lin Chudong wanted to make money now, so the other person's attitude didn't matter, as long as they paid.
If you want these people to respect you, you must first get a firm footing.
Back at the music store, in the rehearsal room, Lin Chudong called Jia Lu and the others. They recorded a demo, about twenty seconds long, which was enough to show the value of this song.
Jia Lu asked, "Fei-ge, this song sounds so good, what's it called?"
"Invisible Wings."
"The name sounds good too, is it written for Zhang Yiran?"
"Not really, it suits her better. Wang Zhi, send me the audio."
"Okay, Fei-ge."
Lin Chudong sat in his office and sent the audio file to Zhang Yiran's agent's email.
"Da Fei's song - Invisible Wings demo."
His name was clearly written in the title. Although he didn't have any backing capital, many people knew that Da Fei was talented.
As long as Zhang Yiran listened to the demo of this song, she would definitely understand its commercial value.
Lin Chudong's target was about two million, which Zhang Yiran could easily afford given her status.
In the afternoon, Liang Yin received a call from Director Sun and went to the television station.
Back at the company, she immediately called a meeting for all the staff.
"We have good news. Our band will soon participate in the recording of a new program. This is a variety show newly launched by Modu Television Station."
"The name is Hundred Praise Song King. It's an entertainment program jointly created by several short video platforms. Those who participate in the program are all professional singers or online singers."
"Everyone performs original songs, and they are scored by a hundred-person praise group. If the score is high, hundreds of companies will jointly promote the song, and the effect will definitely be explosive."
Wang Zhi and the others were stunned. "Original songs are required?"
The band's current songs are quite popular, all in the top twenty of the popularity charts. There's no problem in participating in a variety show competition. However, this program is to promote original songs, so they need to release new songs again.
Jing Feifei said, "New songs don't seem to be a problem for Fei-ge."
Lin Chudong always gives them surprises, as if he has a treasure trove in his stomach, able to produce a song that shocks the music industry anytime, anywhere.
Lin Chudong said, "New songs are not a problem, and we even need to prepare a few songs. We'll decide which one to sing at the recording site."
"Who are the opponents this time?"
Liang Yin said, "A professional band, Hua Wu Guo Band, a has-been singer, Yang Han, and the rest are mostly internet singers, but they're quite popular."
Lin Chudong nodded. Hua Wu Guo Band had extended an olive branch to him before. He remembered when he went to invite Chen Jianguo, their CEO was also there. He didn't expect them to be performing on the same stage this time.
Liang Yin said, "Right, and there's someone I know, Wang Xiaoyan."
Jia Lu snorted, "She can get on too? Hmph."
The first time she went to the music festival, she was chased out of the dressing room by Wang Xiaoyan's agent. Jia Lu had a deep impression of that incident. She didn't expect her to be on the variety show too.
Lin Chudong said, "The show that invited us isn't that popular anyway. It's normal for the performers to be of varying levels. Just focus on doing our best."
"Let's rehearse. I'll practice a few songs and see which one to use later."
Modu Television Station, Sun Xuan was sitting in Director Feng's office.
Director Feng said, "Sun Xuan, that Da Fei is a troublemaker. If you let him on the show, won't the same thing happen as last time?"
Sun Xuan said, "Old Feng, you're getting old. You're too conservative about the show. It was just a small accident, and it didn't cause any bad consequences. It's already become a hot meme online."
"Next year's Mid-Autumn Festival Gala, the ratings will definitely go up another level."
Director Feng narrowed his eyes, his face a little displeased.
Sun Xuan was getting more and more arrogant now. He heard that he was going to be promoted to Deputy Director. With one in charge and the other as the second in command, Sun Xuan was younger and had better achievements, and he didn't take him seriously anymore.
If this continued, he was very likely to ride on his head.
Director Feng said, "Alright, Xiao Sun, you can handle it yourself."
After Sun Xuan left, Director Feng picked up the phone and made a call.
"Hey, boss, didn't we say CCTV was short a producer? I'll recommend someone for you. Our station's Sun Xuan, he's a real talent. You saw the Mid-Autumn Festival gala live broadcast last time, right? He directed that."
"He dared to do a live broadcast for a local station's Mid-Autumn Festival gala. Think about how strong his professional ability is?"
"Alright, you guys consider it..."
...
Two days later, at Recording Hall Number Four of Modu Television Station.
Sun Xuan saw Lin Chudong again, a smile plastered on his face.
"Xiao Lin, how's the preparation this time?"
Lin Chudong said, "Don't worry, Director Sun. This time it's pre-recorded, I won't let you down."
Sun Xuan let out a hearty laugh. "You, if you stream again, I'm really afraid you'll stir up some trouble for me."
After a few pleasantries, Wang Xiaoyan and a middle-aged man walked over.
Sun Xuan immediately went forward and shook the middle-aged man's hand. "Oh, President Lu, why did you come in person?"
Sun Xuan immediately beckoned, "Da Fei, come here. This is our sponsor, President Lu, the boss of Grassland People Milk."
Lin Chudong quickly greeted him and extended his hand.
"Hello, President Lu, I'm Da Fei."
President Lu only nodded slightly and didn't shake his hand, clearly showing a distant attitude.
Lin Chudong was stunned for a moment, then awkwardly retracted his hand.
After that, Wang Xiaoyan immediately linked arms with President Lu and said,
"Director Sun, President Lu heard about your extraordinary abilities and came specifically to see you."
Sun Xuan also noticed Wang Xiaoyan's small actions, but he kept a straight face and said,
"President Lu, rest assured. The show I personally produce will definitely not flop."
President Lu said, "You, Sun Xuan, are Modu Television Station's golden signboard. I believe in you."
"Xiaoyan has good singing skills and is in great shape overall. See if you can give her the inside track for first place. I'll add more to the sponsorship fee."
President Lu's words immediately made the atmosphere strange.
Wang Xiaoyan's face revealed an expression of anticipation, and she held President Lu's arm tighter.
President Lu, a nouveau riche, having a fondness for these small-time internet celebrities was quite normal. Unexpectedly, Wang Xiaoyan was quite capable, managing to latch onto this big shot.
Sun Xuan chuckled and said,
"President Lu, our program emphasizes fairness and justice. Even with more sponsorship, there won't be any behind-the-scenes deals, you can rest assured about that."
"As long as Xiaoyan has real talent, she has a good chance of winning first place."
"We've already set the sponsorship fee, so there's no need to change it."
Sun Xuan declined, leaving no room for negotiation.
