Actor: Thank you.

"Forgot about the biting north wind outside the window."

"Once again, tenderness and lingering affection are layered..."

Zhang Yuan opened his mouth and sang, using all the singing skills he had accumulated over the years.

You guys are annoying, aren't you?

It's not that I hate it.

Hey, I'm going to sing.

And she sang exceptionally well!

Did this leave even a certain type of musician in the imperial music circle dumbfounded?

what?
His vocal function and singing skills are so strong?
I almost forgot that he was singing a song by Dao Lang.

Because Zhang Yuan also used some of the functions he had taken from Vitas.

This is my home, my territory. I can sing whose songs I want.

Don't try to play your underhanded, scheming "correct" game with me!
These people didn't dare to make a sound.

That eagle has a dog's brain, but it's not really stupid!

She's the type to criticize anyone she meets, and she can be quite loud and aggressive, but she depends on the person.

She was half-joking, half-faking it; a fake facade masking her true nature.

Wang Fei's half-dead tone, which he uses with everyone, is the real sincerity.

If she dared to stand up and admit her mistakes like Jiang Xin did at the dinner party a while ago, and say whatever she really wanted to say, Zhang Yuan would think more highly of her.

I admire you, woman, for being a real man!

Unfortunately, she didn't.

Instead, they kept quiet, catering to different people's tastes.

Just like Chen Gong, why was he, like Guan Yu, Cao Cao's "white moonlight"?

They never bow down to any benefit or threat; such integrity deserves respect.

When Mengde beheaded Lü Bu, he didn't even blink.

Tears streamed down her face as she watched Chen Gong's retreating figure.

Seeing the eagle's state, Zhang Yuan understood even more clearly that Dao Lang's later song "Rakshasa City" and its lyrics were absolutely right.

This is also why he prefers Wang Fei and is indifferent to the eagle.

Look down on her!

But looking down on someone doesn't mean you have to be hostile or unable to be "friends".

Because there are many kinds of friends.

From best friends and frenemy friends to casual sex partners, there are many types.

Those who can come together for mutual benefit are also friends.

While Zhang Yuan found it lamentable and tragic, he also felt that it was a good thing.

So after singing "The First Snow of 2002", he cut off the following songs and inserted "Lover".

He even pulled Brother Qian along.

When Qian Ge saw Zhang Yuan start singing, he looked around and knew what was going on.

Wow, this was done on purpose!
Sure enough, my brother's cooking wasn't that good.

While the others were still at a loss, he started clapping a maracas in each hand to accompany Zhang Yuan.

They were pulled over and started singing together.

"With your faint body temperature."

"To soothe the tender wounds in my heart!"

Zhang Yuan has only one principle in doing things: while making money, he must always stand on the side of the general public.

At least on the surface.

If the common people like to hear it, then you criticize it.

Just like Chen Peisi said in "The Protagonist and the Supporting Role".

"You can control me, but can you control who the audience likes to watch?"

Following the mass line is a fundamental principle.

While singing with Qian Ge on his arm, Zhang Yuan even took the sand hammer from Qian Ge's hand and personally handed it to the eagle.

"Hey sis, can you help me keep the beat?"

The eagle: ...

It's rock and roll.

If you don't help shake the sand hammer now, it'll roll away in a minute.

The eagle looked uncomfortable, but its hands still moved involuntarily.

Zhang Yuan glanced at it and was quite satisfied.

What is elegant and what is vulgar?

In your eyes, isn't it true that having money equates to elegance, while being poor equates to vulgarity?

Moreover, the criticism of Dao Lang is not a matter of "one country, one system".

Only the imperial circle engages in a "war for discourse power".

In the South, especially in Hong Kong, Dao Lang is very welcome!

After hearing Dao Lang's songs, Alan Tam went to visit him personally.

Hua Ge invited Dao Lang to sing a song.

It had the feel of the Civil War.

Putting everything else aside, I would never oppose Dao Lang out of respect for Andy Lau.

A powerful burst of music brought the piece to a close.

"Why don't I sing well?"

Seeing the room was silent, Zhang Yuan turned to ask a question.

"If I sing well, please give me a round of applause."

clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap...

Let's take the pictures, we have no choice but to.

Others may not know, but the eagle knows very well.

Last time he came to my territory, Prince Hui was taken care of.

Therefore, the inequality holds, Zhang Yuan > Prince Hui.

Not only Prince Hui, but also Kurata Hiroshi.

This guy is in jail now, but he used to be a force to be reckoned with. He was a tyrant in the Beijing music scene, especially in the live performance market!
But what can we do?

A few years ago, because of Li Xiaoran's incident, he even personally went to her door to greet her, and this matter had already spread throughout the industry.

If it weren't for Chen Hong, Eagle's bar would have been smashed up long ago!

In addition, Zhang Yuan was already enjoying great popularity recently.

Rumors circulate that he was able to save Little Dragon Girl and step on Zhang Ziyi, an international star.

Many people in the industry already know about the affair involving these two women.

However, they may not be aware of the specific details, including the content of the exchange of benefits.

The less you know the details, the more likely you are to embellish them!
This will make the story even more amazing.

Even the two powerful Wang brothers were "taken care of" by him, so it's said that if you encounter any difficulties, just go to Zhang Yuan.

The matter of Zhang Ziyi is the real reason why Ying and the others are wary.

Such a big star, gone just like that.

Zhang Yuan said he would deal with whoever he wanted, and his methods were no less than those of the older generation.

They might not care about protecting someone, but they are truly afraid of ruining someone!
Of those present, only Chen Hong and Wang Fei seemed completely unconcerned.

Zhang Yuan sensed apprehension from the attitudes of the others.

So he has to give it a try.

Not calling a deer a horse is already being quite polite.

Because testing isn't just a waste of time; once you've tested it, you have to use it.

The atmosphere was still a bit tense during dinner because of Dao Lang's song earlier.

Zhang Yuan took the initiative to get up and offer a cup.

"We did a great job today."

"We have both highbrow and lowbrow options."

The eagle couldn't react in time, but one of its clever parts heard it.

Which is vulgar, "The Carnal Prayer Mat" or Dao Lang?
Actually, it's not about the work itself, but about the person.

In the eyes of vulgar people, everything is vulgar, just as the Buddhist monk Foyin said to Su Dongpo: "You are all important figures in the music industry."

"According to the people in Beijing, they're all old hands!"

"I don't know much about music, so please give me some pointers."

"Actually, quite a few people have wanted me to release an album."

"Yes, I just heard you sing. Your voice is pretty good. You should have performed well," Yang Kun said, holding up his cup after a few drinks.

"I mainly don't have time to deal with all that."

"I'm also afraid of not selling well and losing face," Zhang Yuan said modestly.

"Don't worry, if you really want to participate, we'll all support you."

"Yes, yes, we're all on the same side, we'll definitely support them."

"I'm so glad you said that," Zhang Yuan continued.

"Actually, I also have plans to get involved in the music industry, but not in the form of releasing an album."

"I think the talent show market is very hot right now, but people are already tired of the same old formula."

"I'm considering whether it's possible to create a program format that's different from anything we've done before."

"If there are any plans, I will definitely contact everyone in advance."

In this industry, Zhang Yuan's reputation for making money has always been established.

So as soon as I heard he was interested in making TV shows, I knew it could be profitable.

The group of people all agreed.

After all, money is the most "refined" thing!

"This isn't urgent; I need to plan it out slowly."

"If you're going to do something, you have to do it the best you can."

"There's another thing, I've always been quite interested in the performance market."

As the saying goes, "A hero needs two helpers."

“Now that Zang Tianshuo has been imprisoned, the original monopoly of the performance market in the capital has actually been broken.”

Everyone nodded in agreement. Most of these people had suffered at the hands of Fatty Zang and had been swindled out of a lot of money by him.

"My idea is that cooperation benefits both sides."

"Why don't I take the lead and start a performance company? In the future, when everyone has a performance and needs venues and tickets, we can all come together and negotiate in one place."

"In this way, we can make the most of our large numbers and get a larger share of the profits."

Brother Qian took a sip of wine.

What did I say?

My brother's cooking isn't very good; he'll definitely have to hand over something.

The situation is simple: let's cooperate.

I plan to design programs in the future so that everyone can make money.

But you have to cooperate with me to get the performance market under control.

Just like the film industry on both sides of the Taiwan Strait, no matter how loose the alliance is, having more people is useful, as they can negotiate with theaters.

The same applies to the performance market; even if I gather a large group of musicians, they may not necessarily be of one mind.

But if I make a statement targeting a certain performance venue in a certain place, and tell everyone not to perform there, wouldn't that give me leverage in negotiations?

It's the same principle as Zhang Weiping dragging other film and television giants into his schemes.

"Everyone can consider it."

"My idea is that we set up a company, everyone invests, I put in the majority, and we can bring in some other famous music industry bigwigs to join us."

"We'll share any profits we make in the future."

"Moreover, there are enough celebrities and the market is big enough. If there's an opportunity to go public..." Zhang Yuan gestured with his fingers as if counting money.

Upon hearing this, even Sister Chen Hong became interested, her eyes widening considerably.

This is the benefit of having a "money-making" label.

People might not believe what you say about other things, but they'll believe what you say about this.

Zhang Yuan's goal is not only to pursue music, but also to integrate his two major offline performance businesses: a crosstalk club and a drama club!
To control the army, you must control its supplies.

If they don't listen, we have to resort to force.

He's let these two groups run rampant for years; it's about time they got their act together.

Through the singing incident, Zhang Yuan had figured out that these people, whether they respected him or not, were at least afraid of him.

Fear can lead to control.

No matter how powerful Zhang Ziyi's background and how many backers she had, she has now fallen into his hands.

These people will only see that Zhang Ziyi was framed by him, and they won't know what really happened behind the scenes.

But one thing is certain: no one wants to become the next Zhang Ziyi.

This is how "cooperation" can be achieved.

And the network of contacts that one has accumulated over the years can also be put to use in the performance market.

There's the Eagle King in Hong Kong, people from Shanghai TV in Shanghai, and people from Hunan TV in Changsha, especially the Gentian Ni whom I just met.

In Wuhan, you can look into the Liu family's background. You have to be careful in Beijing, but you can still make contact eventually.

This way, we can connect with the largest performance markets in the country, making it possible to accomplish major tasks.

Don't be fooled by the fact that these are all readily available resources; all that's needed is to integrate them.

However, integration is actually very difficult and requires a lot of effort and connections.

Everyone laughs at Xiaomi, calling Lei Jun a "branded manufacturer," but with his industry integration capabilities, Lei Jun is almost the richest man in China.

The moment the topic of making money came up, the gloom that Dao Lang had brought earlier vanished, and these guys were all grinning like they were about to bite someone.

After the dinner ended, Zhang Yuan personally saw each guest off.

They greeted each other one by one, suggesting more cooperation so everyone could make money together.

"I see your appetite is getting bigger and bigger." Brother Qian was the last to leave, and they strolled around the house one last time.

"There's no way around it. In this era, if you don't eat people, you'll be eaten by them."

"I'm just trying to survive."

"Then you're living too well." Brother Qian pointed to the courtyard.

"When it comes to making money, there's never too much."

"Yes, you need to earn more, after all, you need to prepare several more dowries than the average person for your wife," Brother Qian teased.

"That makes sense..." Zhang Yuan thought about it for a moment, and it did make some sense!

After walking a few steps, Brother Qian spoke again.

"You and Degang, don't let this cause any unpleasantness between you."

Zhang Yuan was not at all surprised that Brother Qian had seen through his intentions.

Don't be fooled by their smoking, drinking, and perming, which make them seem like they never have a moment's rest. They're actually very shrewd.

"No, my principle is that I must not only live, but also let others live."

Occasionally, I have to do some work...

Meanwhile, Yang Mi met with Zeng Jia to discuss the details of their brokerage contract.

Upon seeing the given conditions, Yang Mi's eyes widened in surprise.

so good!
They gave people and cars, but the money they received was small.

Compared to Zhang Yuan, Rong Xingda is practically a slave society.

"He still has a conscience..." Yang Mi muttered to himself.

Zeng Jia wondered what tricks her best friend had used to serve her boss so well.

She didn't understand; this is love!

Zeng Jia didn't understand, but Yang Mi did understand somewhat.

After reading the contract, I felt quite warm inside.

He didn't take advantage of my feelings for him to exploit or bully me.

He's still a good person...

After socializing with people in the music industry, Zhang Yuan didn't rest either.

After spending a few days at home reading the script and studying the characters in detail, he dragged his assistant and bodyguard along and headed to JM City in Guangdong Province.

The crew of "The Grandmaster" was there.

However, that was not his target this time.

It was located less than 20 kilometers away from the film crew of "The Grandmaster".

That was the filming location for "Let the Bullets Fly"... (End of Chapter)
