HuaYu: Starting with Photography to Navigate the Entertainment Industry

Not long after, Xu Lang came out with Zhang Hanyun and Zhang Liangying.

The two little girls, one older and one younger, both had rosy cheeks; they were clearly very excited.

Xu Lang, addressing everyone present as if announcing a program, said:

"Next, please welcome Zhang Hanyun to perform 'Sour and Sweet Is Me'."

Wang Peng and Li Xiaolin had never heard of this song before, but after Xu Lang mentioned it, they became curious and listened intently with their arms crossed.

The singer was changed from Zhang Liangying to Zhang Hanyun.

Indeed, every song has its destined soulmate.

The song "Sour and Sweet Is Me" was born for Zhang Hanyun.

The moment she opened her mouth, her singing style was completely different from that of Jane Zhang.

If Jane Zhang's song is like a cocktail, then Hanyun Zhang completely transforms it into a sweet and sour dairy beverage.

It's sweet but not cloying, with a touch of youthful innocence and playfulness that's simply irresistible!

In addition, Zhang Hanyun's clear, bright voice, without any technical embellishment, is even more moving than Zhang Liangying's more professional singing skills.

"I like the sweet and sour taste; that's the real me!"

Watching Zhang Hanyun sing with ease and confidence, completely immersed in the song, Li Xiaolin's expression changed in the crowd.

"This is the song that truly belongs to Zhang Hanyun!"

If we had this song, would we still have to worry about Zhang Hanyun winning the championship?

He glanced at Xu Lang beside him and thought to himself:

"This kid, it would be so great if he just used that part of this song!"

Thinking of this, a thought struck him, and he pulled Zhou Man, who was also staring in disbelief, over.

"Go and discuss with the production team about changing Zhang Hanyun's song for tonight's competition. Just change it to this song!"

"Huh? Now?"

Looking at the time, there's only an afternoon left until tonight's match.

"Can we change it now?"

Li Xiaolin has been a manager for half his life, and he has a very keen eye. He can tell at a glance whether a singer is in good music or in the right state of mind.

"No problem, Zhang Hanyun is completely familiar with this song; it's as if it was written for her. With this song, tonight's championship is practically guaranteed!"

"Oh, I'll get the sheet music and make the arrangements as soon as I get it."

"Yes, don't worry, I'll talk to President Wang and ask him to give me his full support."

Unlike Li Xiaolin, Wang Peng's eyes lit up when he heard the song.

Before this, Zhang Hanyun's popularity had already surged ahead, surpassing the second-place An Youqi and the third-place Wang Ti by more than double the number of votes.

"If this song were added, wouldn't Zhang Hanyun's popularity explode?"

It's a viral sensation!

That means the finals have been elevated to a new level.

At that time...

He glanced at Sun Jun beside him, "Haha, I'll raise the sponsorship price a bit later, isn't that reasonable?"

Unlike Li Xiaolin and Wang Peng, Sun Jun watched Zhang Hanyun sing this song, and was struck by her voice, the lyrics, her posture, and her expression.

"Oh no, this song is perfect! With this song, our yogurt drink is guaranteed to be a huge hit next year!"

All three of them dreamed of becoming an overnight sensation, and Xu Lang, seeing their expressions, was secretly overjoyed.

"The value of this song immediately doubled after Zhang Hanyun sang it. Whether it's Li Xiaolin, Wang Peng, or Sun Jun from Mengniu, I don't believe you won't be tempted!"

"The moment you show any interest, that becomes my bargaining chip!"

As soon as Zhang Hanyun finished singing, Li Xiaolin quickly found Wang Peng and told him his idea. Wang Peng clapped his hands excitedly.

"Haha, Lao Li, we're on the same page."

As he spoke, he took out his phone and said, "Don't worry, I'll call the on-site director right now and have the band, host, dancers, and everything else changed immediately."

Tonight, let this song completely elevate the Super Girl finals to new heights!

Upon hearing this, Sun Jun, who was standing to the side, immediately frowned, raised his arm, and said righteously:

"No, I disagree! This song must be the official theme song for Mengniu, and its first appearance must be related to Mengniu!"

Wang Peng's eyes darted around, and he immediately said:

"Mr. Wang, don't worry."

I think it would be better if we signed the contract this afternoon, and then, tonight, after Zhang Hanyun finishes singing this song, we announced the start of preparations for the 2005 Super Girl competition and revealed the title sponsor.

Then, we can announce that this song will be Mengniu's endorsement song, and that will solve everything, right?

Moreover, you Mengniu companies profited immensely from the peak popularity of my 04 cohort; you really got a huge advantage.

"Oh?"

Li Xiaolin and Sun Jun were both analyzing Wang Peng's words.

Li Xiaolin felt a surge of excitement.

"The champion is usually the last to appear, so Wang Peng's words basically mean he's tacitly acknowledging Zhang Hanyun as the champion!"

Sun Jun, thinking about Wang Peng's words, was also filled with joy.

"He's right, we also jumped on the bandwagon of 2004."

"Yes, this is a good deal!"

All three of them were excited:

Tianyu Media (Hunan TV) propelled the Super Girl competition to new heights of popularity;

Zhang Hanyun, who was under Li Xiaolin's management, won the championship;

Mengniu started its promotion early and managed to ride the wave of popularity for free;

This is a win-win situation for all three parties!

OK!

The three were excited when suddenly a voice rang out beside them:

"Hey, you three, don't get too excited yet. Look, the copyright to this song belongs to me. You've all discussed everything, but did you even ask me?"

"what?"

Seeing Xu Lang holding up the manuscript and the sample as evidence, the three of them immediately calmed down.

The key to a win-win situation for all three parties is this song.

Without this song, everything is meaningless!

The three of them exchanged glances, none of them worried.

It's obvious that Xu Lang is doing this to wait for a higher price and for the other party to set the terms.

Whatever your conditions, just name them!

Wang Peng's eyes darted around, he glanced at everyone, then pulled Xu Lang aside and said enthusiastically:

"Xu Lang, come on, come to my office and let's talk about this properly."

"good!"

This is exactly what Xu Lang was waiting for.

He went to great lengths just to get to the poker table and have the opportunity to talk and negotiate with them.

Now, the opportunity has finally arrived.

"Wait for me here."

Xu Lang gave Qin Feifei and the others some instructions, and then left with Wang Pai, Sun Jun, and Li Xiaolin.

Watching Xu Lang's retreating figure, Qin Feifei, Zhang Liangying, Shen Qingyue, and the others exchanged bewildered glances.

"How did Xu Lang end up associating with three big shots?"

Qin Feifei felt this most acutely.

Although she hasn't played many roles, she's practically a part of the entertainment industry.

She knew very well that in front of big investors (Mengniu), big bosses (Wang Peng of Tianyu Media), and big agents (Li Xiaolin), not to mention an unknown photographer or musician, even a top star had to stay obediently and had no right to interrupt.

Uh... In a different context, it's not impossible to interrupt.

Xu Lang then followed the three men to a spacious office.

After sitting down, Wang Peng, as the host, took the initiative to say:

"Xu Lang, you heard our discussion just now. To be honest, this song is indeed crucial to our plans and cooperation."

Just tell me what you want.

As long as it's not too outrageous, we'll agree!
