HuaYu: Starting with Photography to Navigate the Entertainment Industry

To support Zhang Liangying, Liu Yifei, Qin Feifei, An Yixuan, Liu Tao, Tang Yan, Park Si-yeon and others flew to Changsha to personally show their support for Zhang Liangying.

On the morning of August 26th, all the artists under Xu Lang's management reposted Zhang Liangying's Weibo post with a picture on their Weibo accounts:

Zhang Liangying wore a crown, looking like a queen, exuding an imposing aura.

The caption for the picture consisted of three large characters:

careerist!

Below the character "大" (big), there are three more words:

Awakening, Independence, Resonance!

Is Zhang Liangying going to be an ambitious woman?

What exactly is her ambition?

Everyone's attention was focused on the Super Girl championship night.

On the Hunan TV set, Wang Bingwen was so excited he couldn't sit still. He kept pacing back and forth in the live broadcast preparation area, as if only in this way could he calm his mind a little.

"Wang Tai, you're here! I've been looking for you for quite a while."

Xu Lang strode towards Wang Bingwen.

"Haha, Xu Lang!"

Wang Bingwen quickly went to greet Xu Lang, took his hand, patted him on the shoulder, and said sincerely:

"I have to admit, you're a master of hype."

The last topic about the "post-80s generation" even made it onto CCTV News.

Now, you've come up with this "show off your ambition" event—it's a stroke of genius!

"Ha ha!"

Xu Lang was somewhat pleased with his idea, but he remained modest, saying...

"Ambition? Everyone has it. I'm just guiding everyone to face it again."

Actually, having ambition isn't a bad thing. After all, ambition is desire, ideal, and motivation!

"That makes sense!"

Wang Bingwen gave Xu Lang a thumbs up.

He genuinely admired Xu Lang for his ability to transform a celebrity's publicity stunt into a social hot topic.

That's the most brilliant part!

Soon, it was 8 p.m.

"Welcome to the live broadcast of the 2005 'Super Girl' singing competition finale!"

One sentence seemed to shake the entire world.

Cheers erupted throughout the venue, while backstage, Wang Bingwen clenched his fists tightly, urging Long Hai, who stood beside him, to answer.

"What are the ratings? What are they?"

Long Hai glanced at the surveillance footage and immediately swore.

Holy crap!

Seeing Long Hai remain silent, Wang Bingwen felt a pang of unease, like a cat's claws scratching at his heart, and went to check the surveillance footage himself.

After just one glance, Wang Bingwen couldn't help but swear:

Holy crap!

After a long while, the two looked at each other, their eyes filled with ecstatic joy:

"42%!"

"We did it!"

Unlike the two performers' opening ceremony, which was already at its climax, the cheers at the start of the live broadcast had just subsided.

But as Zhang Liangying, Li Yuchun, and Zhou Bichang took the stage, even more enthusiastic cheers erupted from both the stage and the audience.

The vast majority of them went there specifically to see Jane Zhang.

Moreover, everyone knows that Jane Zhang will definitely reach the top tonight.

Although the outcome of the competition was not in doubt, everyone wanted to see the moment when Zhang Liangying reached the top!

After all, those were votes they cast one by one.

At the same time, they were also looking forward to seeing just how terrifying Zhang Liangying's popularity would be today.

Finally, and most importantly, everyone wants to know what Zhang Liangying meant by "ambition"!

On stage, Li Yuchun and Zhou Bichang looked at Zhang Liangying in the middle, and to be honest, their hearts were completely unmoved!

Just like Wang Peng and the two of them said before,

"Don't think about the competition, and don't think about winning the championship. Just perform well, enjoy this stage and this atmosphere. You may never encounter this again in your life."

The two exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with envy and jealousy towards Zhang Liangying.

"Forget it, let's not think about it too much. Like Mr. Wang said, let's enjoy this stage!"

As a result, the two of them relaxed.

At this moment, the host, He Ling, announced the rules of the competition.

As He Ling recited the rules, she couldn't help but find it amusing.

"Thanks to Zhang Liangying, the competition has lost all suspense. They've changed all the original rules; this isn't a competition anymore, it's a concert!"

Unlike previous years, tonight's championship night had fewer suspenseful elements and focused more on the live performances.

After all, the production team knew that if the competition was not suspenseful, there would be no point in adding any fancy elements or creating a tense atmosphere.

Therefore, the rules became very simple: Zhang Liangying, Li Yuchun, and Zhou Bichang would each sing three songs, which meant they would have three performance opportunities.

At the same time, a channel for SMS voting is open to everyone.

The final result of the competition will be based on the number of SMS votes.

"The SMS voting channel is now open!"

As He Ling's voice faded, the audience got busy, and in the blink of an eye, Zhang Liangying's SMS votes surged to over 100 million.

Seeing that they had less than 100,000 votes, Li Yuchun and Zhou Bichang could only look at each other and smile.

Comparisons are odious!

"Luckily, I adjusted my mindset, or I would have died on stage!"

This is the shared sentiment of Li Yuchun and Zhou Bichang.

Enjoy the stage!

The three of them, completely letting loose, delivered a wonderful performance for all the audience.

In the first two rounds, Jane Zhang sang "We Promised" and "Finally Waiting for You," both of which are classic songs from Jane Zhang's past life.

Although it was a new song, the song's advanced melody and perfect vocals quickly captivated the audience both at the venue and watching on television.

Zhang Liangying's songs are all classics!

Soon, Zhang Liangying's two rounds of singing were over, and Li Yuchun and Zhou Bi's three rounds were also over.

When Zhang Liangying finished her last song, it was the highlight of the championship night.

"Now, I will announce the SMS vote counts for the three contestants:"

Zhou Bichang: 821459 votes;

Li Yuchun: 1029164 votes;

Zhang Liangying: ...

At this point, He Ling paused, unable to believe the number he had just seen:

"Zhang Liangying, 7858869 votes!"

785 million?!

Immediately, thousands of spectators in the stadium erupted in incredulous gasps.

Xu Lang, sitting in the audience, couldn't help but be shocked:

"If I remember correctly, Li Yuchun won with 352 million votes in the previous life. Now, before even the last song, Xiaoying's votes have more than doubled the highest record."

That's terrifying!

After reading out the vote count, He Ling looked at Zhang Liangying on the stage and asked:

"Zhang Liangying, before the championship night, I saw that you were posting promotional images on Weibo with the theme of 'ambition'."

We haven't seen any related content yet.

Do you have anything to say about this?

Upon hearing He Ling's question, the audience below the stage, as well as the hundreds of millions of viewers in front of the television, were filled with anticipation.

They had been intrigued for days by Zhang Liangying's word "ambition".

Everyone was waiting for Zhang Liangying's answer.

Even Wang Bingwen couldn't stop staring at Zhang Liangying, forgetting to even look at the notification on the monitor next to him that the viewership rating had exceeded 50%.

On stage, Jane Zhang shone brightly. She scanned the audience and finally fixed her gaze on Xu Lang.

Instantly, her face beamed with happiness, good fortune, and excitement, and her breathing became rapid.

After a long while, she finally composed herself and slowly began to speak.
