Three songs, let Jing Fupo accompany me to subvert the Chinese entertainment industry.

That evening, Lu Zheng and Jing Yang found a teahouse.

Actually, to be precise, this was their formal onboarding conversation.

Before they even started working together, the two of them only had a phone call to discuss the job.

They didn't say anything else.

Firstly, it's because Jingyang has built up his reputation and confidence through his own efforts.

Regardless of how they achieved that success, they are now a rising star in the music industry.

Secondly, after Lu Zheng's second boss took some time to listen to his phone report, he investigated Jingyang. And because of the first reason, the second boss basically approved of Jingyang.

That's why Lu Zheng ignored Jing Yang and signed the contract directly after confirming the details.

However, since it concerns the company's future development, Jing Tian's future development, and even Jing Yang's own development, Lu Zheng had to talk about it in this informal setting.

"What you said today, we actually did in the past. Tian Tian also acted in TV dramas at the beginning."

"It's just that now Tian Tian's image as a movie star is so strong that almost no one remembers that TV series."

Lu Zheng spoke with a bitter tone.

However, Jingyang mercilessly exposed his words.

"All this talk about nonsense is just because the TV series flopped..."

"If your TV series back then had been as popular as 'Chinese Paladin 3' at the same time, what chance would I have now?"

Listening to Jingyang's complaints, Lu Zheng was speechless.

Ultimately, it's because this group of outsiders rashly plunged into the film and television industry without any plan whatsoever.

The most famous actress in the film and television industry is Gong Li. Okay, then they will promote Jing Tian in the same way as Gong Li.

The most cutting-edge production in the film and television industry right now is big-budget co-productions that go overseas. Okay, so they're setting up productions to try and go overseas.

But without exception, they all failed.

Jing Tian's status has been elevated, but it's like a castle in the air.

If someone in the industry accepts it, they accept it; if they don't, there's absolutely nothing they can do.

After a moment of silence, Lu Zheng said helplessly, "Then tell me, can we make her famous using your method?"

In response, Jingyang calmly replied after taking a sip of tea.

"Don't worry, this is just Plan A. There's a sequel to Plan A, and a sequel to Plan A after that..."

"In short, I have more than one way to make her famous."

"I chose this plan simply because it's the fastest, best, and most cost-effective. Which top female star born in the 80s didn't start out in TV dramas? Don't look down on TV dramas..."

"Of course, if you can get Zhang Yimou from twenty years ago and Chen Kaige from fifteen years ago, then disregard what I said earlier."

Lu Zheng almost spat out his tea. Did they think he was some kind of genie lamp?

Besides, he's a staunch materialist and doesn't believe in these superstitious things; it's useless to talk to him about them.

But Lu Zheng felt a little relieved.

It wasn't because of Jingyang's trash talk, but because Jingyang succeeded once.

Even just once is enough to gain their trust.

After all, they've never succeeded...

These days, success gives you the right to speak, while failure leaves you with no right to speak at all.

After a long silence, Lu Zhengdao said, "Fine, I'll believe you first and then question you."

"Anyway, you still have three chances. If Tian Tian doesn't improve after three chances, it'll be difficult for me, you understand..."

Lu Zheng didn't explicitly say which aspect was difficult to understand, but Jingyang understood.

He then nodded.

Then Lu Zheng asked, "Tian Tian has finished speaking, what about yours?"

"You are not only a stellar executive, but also a stellar artist."

"You can continue to develop your film and television business according to your plan. Anyway, we're all in this together, whether we prosper or suffer."

"But what about music?"

"As you know about the company, Tian Tian was badly taken advantage of back then, and now it's difficult for her to have any contact with those veterans in the music industry."

"But it's impossible to let a rising star like you in the music industry not release any songs or albums, so what are your thoughts on this?"

To be honest, Jingyang mentioned earlier that he was a triple threat artist in film, television, and music, but that was just a casual remark.

However, now that they've signed with Starlight Brilliant, it seems to be working out.

At the very least, it would enrich his plans.

He doesn't really need to manage the film and television business much; at this stage, he's practically tied to Jing Tian.

Unless the two become so popular that it's difficult for them to appear in the same movie, Starlight Brilliant won't dare to let them go solo.

As for music, he had considered handling all the album production himself, but it was difficult.

With 2011 almost halfway over, the golden age of Chinese pop music has passed, and excellent works are becoming increasingly rare over time.

Jingyang's plan, from the very beginning, was to establish a persona that while he could be excellent at creating his own music, there are limits to human ability, and it's impossible for every album to be entirely composed by himself. That would be too terrifying and too easy to backfire.

Therefore, Jingyang plans to start with his first album, with 70% of the songs being his own compositions and 30% being commissioned works.

Moreover, the first album was completed and released before the TV series started filming.

Otherwise, if he waits two or three months until his popularity fades before releasing an album, it would be like sitting on a mountain of gold and going begging for food.

After Jingyang finished telling Lu Zheng his thoughts, everything else was fine, except for the matter of inviting him to write songs, which made Lu Zheng look troubled.

Seeing this, Jingyang said, "Don't worry, it's not those old Dengs who were invited."

"If you ask me, you must have had a problem with your eyes back then, inviting a creator who hadn't produced a hit in years and was just living off his past achievements."

If you had invited either of the Li Sisong brothers, they would have been far better than that incompetent fool.

"Now I dare not follow your old path; I dare not invite any of these old Dengs."

"How can you take money but not put in the effort, and then offer outdated stuff to fool people?"

After saying that, Jingyang pulled a piece of paper out of his briefcase.

His shortlist of candidates was written on it.

"Let's follow the order of these invitations; they're listed here."

"Just throw money at these people; it would be best to sign them directly to the company."

"Whether the rest of you come or not is fine, but please make sure to express your friendly attitude."

Upon receiving the list, Lu Zheng was stunned at first glance.

There wasn't a single old Deng he recognized; they were all young people.

In fact, he had never even heard of many of them before...

But Jingyang not only wrote down these people's names and professions, but also their past works.

This is not just a matter of putting in effort; it's a matter of pouring one's heart and soul into it.

This would cause a bloodbath in any music company.

Suddenly, he felt the paper in his hand become heavy.

Looking into Jingyang's eyes, Lu Zheng solemnly said, "Don't worry, I'll throw money at these people."

"These days, very few young people aren't short of money, but our company is the only one that's never short of money!"
