Chapter 68: Undercurrents Surge

  I said it's possible.

  Before seeing the scores on the small notebook, Zhao Yuyun would not have agreed to sign a three-year contract with Guo Xiaoyu. But when these songs could be considered classics, Zhao Yuyun did not hesitate to agree with Guo Xiaoyu. With just this content and that video online, no company would refuse him. Having a good singer can change the fate of a family, but if that singer is also a top-notch lyricist and composer, it can change the prospects of a company. Otherwise, how could Jay Chou become the closest to being a heavenly king among today's singers? At this moment, Zhao Yuyun seemed to see a future heavenly king rising from Guo Xiaoyu.

  "Zhao Youyun made a phone call and then said to Guo Xiaoyu, 'Xiaoyu, I've already asked someone to modify the contract. Let's have dinner first, and we'll talk about it after dinner.'"

  "Alright!" Guo Xiaoyu nodded. Neither of them suggested inviting a professional to review the contract, Zhao Youyun had never thought of exploiting any legal loopholes from start to finish, while Guo Xiaoyu had seen many such contracts in his past life and wasn't afraid of Zhao Youyun playing any tricks on him, he could spot any issues with just one glance.

  As they ate, Zhao Youyun asked Guo Xiaoyu, "Xiaoyu, since you've already decided to sign the contract, do you have any thoughts about your future?"

  "What's the idea? None." Guo Xiaoyu didn't have any ideas, his idea was to finish it quickly and go home to sleep.

  Looking at Guo Xiaoyu's nonchalant expression, Zhao Youyun shook his head and said: "I've never seen a newcomer like you before. Not only are you not excited, but you're also very laid-back. Other newcomers talk about their future plans for three days and three nights without stopping, but you just give me a big zero."

  "It's not like Aunt Zhao is here, what's the point of being so anxious." After finishing the official business, Guo Xiaoyu returned to her usual cheerful and smiling self.

  "Look at you." Guo Xiaoyu saw the quick change of face and thought to himself, "This guy is simply a dog-faced man, I really don't know who he learned this from, not even Dabao and his wife are like this!"

  Complaints aside, there's still work to be done. Zhao Yuyun said: "Actually, at first we wanted you to release an EP of 'Finally Waiting for You' and promote it with your TV series together. But when I saw these song sheets, I decided that I want to use a different approach to help you debut."

  "What way is directly out of album?"

  "It's not, now and a few years ago are different, directly releasing an album is not the best choice." Zhao Youyun paused for a moment, continuing: "Every song you write can be considered a classic, if we put them all on one album, it will lack focus when promoting. So I decided to let you participate in a talent show, this way each of your songs will have sufficient promotion time. Plus, the airing time of your TV drama coincides with our program's halfway point, we can take advantage of this storm to promote, and reveal your identities as the creator of 'Dad, where are we going?', TV actor, and singer-songwriter one by one. This way, for a relatively long period, you will appear in all major media outlets, if we operate well, it's possible to make the second half of this year, the year of Guo Xiaoyu. Under this promotion model, plus your solid songs, it would be hard not to become popular."

  Guo Xiaoyu doesn't like this kind of hype, but nowadays many water goods are hyped up in the same way. However, Guo Xiaoyu can't help but admire Zhao Yuyun's combination punch, which is simply too beautiful. As a 20-year-old young man, becoming the founder of "Dad, where are we going?" is already surprising enough. Moreover, this founder is also a music genius who writes lyrics, composes and sings, and at the same time, this music genius is also an actor in a TV series, and has received unanimous praise from the crew members. Guo Xiaoyu's identities, one by one, are bursting out, which is a major earthquake for today's entertainment circle!

  Guo Xiaoyu smiled and looked at Zhao Yuyun, saying: "Auntie Zhao, the elective you want me to participate in is 'Happy Boys' Voice', right?"

  "Of course." Zhao Youyun said affirmatively: "Only on our own turf can we better publicize."

  "Haha..." Hearing Zhao Yuyun say that, Guo Xiaoyu laughed even more happily: "Auntie Zhao, you want to borrow my popularity and make 'Happy Boys' popular at the same time, right?" This sentence was not said by Guo Xiaoyu without reason. Although 'Happy Boys' is a flagship program of Mango TV, it has been declining in recent years, especially this season, they will be competing with two other talent shows, especially last year's 'China Good Voice' which dominated the whole year and this year is making a heavy comeback. If 'Happy Boys' wants to survive in the cracks and reverse the situation, then it needs some stimulation, and Guo Xiaoyu's series of identities isn't stimulating enough?

  "Super Boy" is borrowing Guo Xiaoyu's east wind, and Guo Xiaoyu won't refuse this win-win approach.

  Seeing Guo Xiaoyu nodding in agreement, Zhao Yuyun continued, "Alright then, let's have dinner."

  At the same time, in the TV station's conference room, Lv Bin, Bai Ye and Zhang Li were sitting opposite each other.

  Lv Bin sat high on the upper seat, staring at Bai Ye and said: "What do you want to do today?"

  "It's not what I want to do, but there are orders from above."

  "What's up?" Lü Bin's eyebrows furrowed: "What did they say?"

  "He didn't say anything." Bai Yan smiled complacently and said: "The top just wants to put 'Happy Boys' on the agenda ahead of schedule."

  "It won't work." Zhang Li said, "Now 'Where Are We Going, Dad?' is at its peak popularity. If we bring up 'Super Boy' now, it will clash with 'Where Are We Going, Dad?'"

  "There's nothing that can't be done." Bai Yan didn't even look at Zhang Li and said, "The top has already spoken, 'Happy Boys' will be put on the agenda soon, and promotion will start within three days. After two weeks of promotion, the official sea election will begin."

  "It won't work." Zhang Li said again: "Isn't this just letting us kill each other?"

  "There's nothing to it." Bai Yan said lightly: "Friday night is still broadcasting 'Where Dad Goes', and Saturday and Sunday nights are used to broadcast 'Happy Boys' Voices'."

  "You...," Zhang Li sighed and said, "Forget it, I'm old, I can't manage your affairs anymore. But you also don't provoke my patience." After finishing speaking, Zhang Li didn't say anything else either.

  Lü Bin, who was sitting at the top, frowned and said after hearing Bai Yan's words: "Alright, you notify the people in the propaganda department to prepare, the meeting is dismissed."

  "Hmm..." Bai Ye left without even saying goodbye.

  The meeting room was left with only Lü Bin and Zhang Li. Neither of them spoke, they just sat quietly, not knowing what the other was thinking.
