Chapter 150 Spring Water Flow

That afternoon.

Wang Jinghua had just finished eating and rested for half an hour when she was about to urge the film crew to start work. Suddenly, An Wen and Gao Feng came to her door.

Why are you in such a hurry?

Wang Jinghua frowned and said, "President Zhang stayed in Beijing for a week and has only been back for a few days. I haven't had a chance to mention the cooperation to him yet."

"This... I didn't want to either."

An Wen was also caught in a dilemma. She originally wanted to wait for Wang Jinghua's news, but Su Yue and Gao Feng were both very anxious and wanted to ask her three times a day.

After waiting for more than a week, Su Yue began to suspect that Wang Jinghua was just making excuses and had no intention of helping at all.

So he asked An Wen to simply deliver the goods to her door, leaving Wang Jinghua with no way to avoid it.

Wang Jinghua was also aware of An Wen's situation and couldn't help but shake her head, saying, "Other older men and younger women are usually coaxed, but you... I don't know what you're after."

"Su Yue is very good to me."

An Wen quickly defended her husband, then called over Gao Feng, who was waiting on the side, and said, "Why don't you listen to Gao Feng's song first? He specially wrote a new song for this concert!"

"Sister Hua."

Gao Feng hurriedly bowed and scraped to Wang Jinghua, but he couldn't help feeling a little emotional.

He met Su Yue in late 90. He had already joined the company when Puan Records was being prepared. At that time, Su Yue mentioned Wang Jinghua and said that he was helping her out of respect for An Wen.

Who knew that she would rise above her station like a carp leaping over the dragon gate, becoming the Hua Jie whom even Su Yue had to aspire to befriend in a short time.

Indeed, the most important thing is to follow the right person!

Now that everyone's here, what can Wang Jinghua say?
Helplessly, he said, "Fine, then sing it for me."

Gao Feng immediately perked up and took the guitar off his back. Since there were no suitable seats nearby, he stepped onto the steps and awkwardly played the guitar while hunching over.

"Spring water flows, spring water flows, spring water flows"
Don't let spring slip away quietly.

I think of you in my heart, I think of you in my heart.

Don't let the wind blow our love away...

After hearing just the first two sentences, Wang Jinghua's previous impatience vanished.

Judging from Gao Feng's outfit, she initially thought he was a rock singer, but she never expected him to sing such a beautiful love song.

After Gao Feng finished singing, Wang Jinghua asked, "What's the name of this song?"

"Spring Water Flows" is a piece I just recently created!

"Oh, it feels pretty good."

Wang Jinghua nodded and said casually, "How about this, I'll contact the company's music director first. After all, I'm just an agent and I'm not that knowledgeable in this field."

Zhang Weining arrived quickly after receiving the call.

After a long conversation with Gao Feng, he quickly realized that Gao Feng's songwriting skills were no less than Xu Wei's. Moreover, because Gao Feng mainly focused on pop music, unlike Xu Wei who always tried to incorporate rock elements, Gao Feng's songs were more universal.

However, Gao Feng's problem is the same as Xu Wei's: he is not very suitable for singing his own songs.

"I suggest signing a contract based on Xu Wei's terms."

In the end, Zhang Weining gave advice: "At that time, he can write songs for others while also trying to write songs that are more suitable for himself with the help of me and Ya Dong."

Upon hearing this, Gao Feng and An Wen's emotions immediately polarized. Gao Feng was overjoyed, practically wanting to kneel down in worship; An Wen, however, widened her beautiful eyes and blurted out, "No way, he's one of our company's employees, how can he... Jinghua, what's going on?!"

"what?"

Zhang Weining also looked at Wang Jinghua in surprise. Wang Jinghua hurriedly said, "I didn't explain clearly enough. Gao Feng has already signed with another company. This time, he wants to use 'Spring Water Flow' to participate in the New Year's Eve concert."

Hearing Wang Jinghua say this, An Wen finally breathed a sigh of relief, but Gao Feng was greatly disappointed.

But what disappointed him even more was yet to come.

"That's it."

Zhang Weining shook his head and said, "Then I suggest we forget about it. The song is indeed well-written, but it doesn't suit his voice. This song needs to be sung by someone with a sweet voice, preferably someone with a touch of melancholy, to bring out its true charm. For example, Mao Ning would be quite suitable."

Greatly disappointed, Gao Feng hurriedly said, "I can write another song—Director Zhang, didn't you say you could give me some pointers? There's still a month and a half until the New Year's Eve concert, I'm sure I can write a song that suits me, and I definitely won't let Director Zhang down!"

Zhang Weining didn't catch the implication in those words, but Wang Jinghua did. She was both actively seeking guidance and trying not to disappoint President Zhang; it was clear she was following Zhang Weining's earlier suggestion to sign a contract.

This whole thing is a mess. She originally wanted to help her old classmate out, but who knew that the singer from Puan Company would actually want to switch companies.

An Wen chimed in, "Yes, Jinghua, Gao Feng is very talented at songwriting. As long as your people are willing to help, he will definitely be able to write a great song that suits him!"

This old classmate is really clueless.

Wang Jinghua shook her head secretly, but she didn't want to be too direct, so she could only vaguely remind him: "Our record company's resources are quite tight right now, and we can only provide enough for our internal singers. How about this, you go back first, and I'll ask President Zhang for instructions on how to handle this matter."

Her original intention was to have An Wen go back and learn from Su Yue so that she could understand Gao Feng's thoughts.

"No need, we'll wait in Tianjin!"

To everyone's surprise, An Wen flatly refused, then pulled Wang Jinghua aside and pleaded, "This opportunity is really important to me and Lao Su, I'm begging you! If Gao Feng becomes famous, Su Yue and I will definitely thank you properly!"

It's obvious without asking that Su Yue put pressure on An Wen, making her determined to achieve her goal this time.

Wang Jinghua was a sentimental person after all. She looked back at Gao Feng and whispered a reminder: "You should call Lao Su first and explain things to him before you talk to him."

As he spoke, he pinched An Wen's hand hard.

An Wen was stunned for a moment before realizing she was a little uneasy, but remembering the task her husband had given her, she still tugged at her sleeve and pleaded, "Then don't forget to put in a good word for us with President Zhang."

Seeing that she still didn't understand the situation, Wang Jinghua said helplessly, "Okay, okay, I'll call President Zhang in a bit and explain everything clearly, is that alright?"

An Wen then gave up and left the filming location with Gao Feng.

After she left.

Wang Jinghua sighed, picked up her mobile phone, and dialed Zhang Yan's number. Although she didn't want An Wen to end up with nothing, An Wen kept insisting that she contact President Zhang...

Forget it, I should have considered the company's interests anyway.

When Zhang Yan received the call, he was in the process of thoroughly understanding the spirit of the document, going deep into the masses, combining theory with practice, establishing one central task, focusing on two basic points, and adhering to the principle of "grasping both aspects firmly"...

Suddenly I received a call from Wang Jinghua, who said she was some kind of singer-songwriter from some company called Puan...

Because the blood was too concentrated and the brain was not receiving enough blood, he didn't realize what was going on for a while.

So he mumbled a few "ah" and "um" sounds, and then said perfunctorily, "I understand. I'll look into it and contact you later."

Seeing that Zhang Yan didn't seem to care much about Gao Feng, Wang Jinghua secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but after hanging up the phone, she felt something was off.

Why were Zhang Yan's responses so vague and even contained reduplicated sounds?

…………

the other side.

An Wen took Gao Feng to a nearby hotel and then quickly called Su Yue to tell him what had happened that day.

"what?!"

Su Yue, being a businessman, immediately flew into a rage after hearing An Wen's retelling: "What does Gao Feng mean?! He's not afraid of disappointing President Zhang?! Who the hell is his boss?!"

An Wenjing's reminder made him realize the truth completely: "You mean Gao Feng himself wants to switch jobs?!"

"What else?!"

Su Yue gritted his teeth and said, "That son of a bitch, I was even thinking of making him the company's top star, but I didn't expect this bastard to seize the opportunity to climb the social ladder!"

"So what do we do now?"

"Let me think about it..."

After considering for a moment, Su Yue said decisively, "Change the singer, we must change the singer. Didn't Yuanmeng say that Gao Feng's voice is not suitable? Just tell Gao Feng that Yuanmeng requested a change of singer, and let the Chu Qi and Chu Tong brothers sing this song - of course, on the condition that the Chu brothers must sign a new contract with us!"

"What if they don't acknowledge the fulfillment of the dream?"

"Well... why don't you give it a try? Try to persuade Wang Jinghua. Since she secretly reminded you, it means she still cares about the friendship between classmates. If you say some nice things, she should be able to agree!"

“But Ke Jinghua is also working for someone else. If it were General Manager Zhang…”

Why don't you give it a try first?

Su Yue impatiently interrupted his wife, then said, "Gao Feng's situation may not be an isolated case. If we can't break through this barrier, I think the company will fall apart sooner or later—so no matter what, we must seize this opportunity!"
