Volume 1: Whose Family Has a Young Man Growing Up! Chapter 120: How Did You Apply This?
Lin Huiyin did not expect Tang Chong to sing so well either.
Perhaps this is the legendary genius who appears once in a hundred years?
Someone who can sing and dance, if they wholeheartedly enter the entertainment industry, it's easy to become popular. More importantly, he doesn't look bad either.
Tang just started singing, she was still leisurely drinking water. Later, the frequency of her drinking water became lower and lower, until she completely forgot that she was still holding a cup in her hand.
When the cup in her hand tilted, hot boiling water poured into her own shoes, she finally came to her senses.
Lin Huiyin quickly put the cup on the glass tea table in front of her, while pouring the water from her slippers into the trash can, and said: "Very good."
She spoke with her head down, without looking at Tang Zhong's face or eyes, but everyone knew who Lin Huiyin was talking about.
Being able to be said 'very good' by Lin Huiyin is quite good enough.
She wouldn't flatter others politely and even less would she say insincere words.
What's more important is that she herself is a force to be reckoned with. These three words coming from her mouth have a high gold content, much more glorious than the first place in class Tang Chong got in middle school.
"Wow, even the echo says Xiaoxin sang well. Really good." Ah Ken applauded with satisfaction and joy. Tang Zhong's glory was his own glory. "Su Su, I thought your move 'using fake to substitute real' was pretty good before. Now I think it's not good, really bad. If he pulls out our Xiaoxin alone, he can create a whole new world by himself."
"At that time, I didn't think it would be like this." Bai Su said with a smile. In her heart, she thought that even if she had known at the time that Tang Zhong was both civil and martial, she probably wouldn't have been able to single-handedly package him because his ambition wasn't in that area.
"He has more important things to do." This was what Bai Susu thought in her heart. Not to mention others, just talking about the woman she had contact with, would she be willing for her son to be a star for his whole life?
"What didn't you think of?" Zhang Heben, who had just brushed his teeth, walked down from upstairs. "What did you not expect to happen?"
Before anyone else could answer, she looked at Tang Chong with a smile and asked: "Has he sung? Is it very unpleasant to hear?"
"Hmm. Be careful, the song sounds so good it's to die for. Listening to it makes one's heart beat wildly as if it's going to jump out. So touching!" Ah KEN naturally wants to help Tang Chong restore his reputation.
"Impossible?" Zhang He didn't believe Ah Ken's words just now. She plopped down beside Lin Huiyin, hugging her arm and coquettishly said: "Huiyin sister, in this house, only your words are believable. Tell me, did Tang Chong sing a song?"
"Sang."
"How is it?"
"Alright."
"Impossible?" Zhang He's small mouth opened into an O shape, saying in surprise. She could not believe other people's words, but Lin Huiyin's words she had to believe. Because Lin Huiyin was impossible to joke with her.
So Lin Huiyin stopped talking.
Zhang He had always known that what they said was true.
Tang Chong can actually sing? And he sings really well?
"May I go on stage?" Tang Chong asked with a smile.
Bai Su and A Ken exchanged a glance, Bai Su said: "Your singing is not bad. But your voice is still a man's voice after all. If it were your personal concert or guest performance for other stars, that would be fine. But now you're replacing Tang Xin on stage, your voice must be feminine. No matter how we package it, we can't turn a woman's voice into a man's voice by packaging. It's okay when singing, we can use falsetto. But you can't go on stage and not say a word, right?"
"Alright." Ah Ken also nodded and said. "Don't worry, you don't have to rush. It's okay. Let's think again. Think again. I'll definitely find a way to get you on stage."
"Don't be too hard on yourself," Tang Zhong consoled. "If you really can't get on stage, then so be it. Losing face is better than being exposed, right?"
"Ah." Ken let out a sigh and said, "Actually, if we really had to postpone or cancel the concert, aside from our reputation taking a hit, there's nothing too serious. We can just work harder next time. The thing is, we just can't swallow this."
"What's wrong?" Tang Chong asked in puzzlement. Was there another hidden situation here?
Bai Su smiled wryly and said: "Originally, I told them not to tell you about this matter, and it's not a big deal anyway. It's just two companies competing with each other."
"I didn't understand a single word," said Tang Chong.
"I know you don't understand, so I didn't think it was necessary to tell you." Bai Su gestured for Tang Chong to sit down and explained: "The Butterfly Combo, I, and Ah Ken are all under Huaying Entertainment. This is one of the three major music companies in China."
"Besides Huaying Entertainment, the two companies Poly and Boli are also very powerful. Poly is an old champion, while Boli is a rising star. It's said that Boli's backstage boss has a strong background and a lot of money. Although it's a new company, they've continuously poached several top-level celebrities to support them, and have signed many newcomers and first-line artists on a large scale. So, Boli is also one of the three giants in the Huaxia entertainment circle, known as the 'three chariots' within the industry."
"What does it have to do with us?" Tang Zhong asked.
"The boss of Bo Yi really liked the performance of the Butterfly Combination and thought they had great potential. He once talked to me privately, wanting to poach me and the entire Butterfly Combination, promising to make them the top female group in the country. But because we all have contracts with our company, it's not easy to switch jobs. Also, I think Bo Yi is moving too fast, there are many things that still need to be verified. Moreover, now is the peak of Butterfly's career, I don't want to take risks with you guys, so I rejected his request."
Later, Bo Yi created another girl group called T4, with the Chinese name "Long Legs Combination". They selected four long-legged beauties who could sing and dance well as members, specializing in a sexy route. As soon as they were launched, they immediately received enthusiastic support from fans.
"Because both Long Legs and Butterfly are female groups, their main audience is the younger generation, so it's inevitable that there will be competition between them. Some of it is unconscious, some intentional. This time, Butterfly is going to hold concerts in Mingzhu, Yanjing, and Xiangtan, but surprisingly, Long Legs is also holding three concerts at the same time and in the same locations."
"Are they so confident?" Tang Zhong sneered.
No wonder some people say that the entertainment industry is a beauty pageant for those in power and a money-laundering haven for the rich. Those with power choose beautiful women to accompany them, while the wealthy use this platform to launder their black money and whitewash their funds. There are often rumors about certain coal bosses splurging hundreds of millions to promote their protégés, the young stars they patronize. This is not entirely unfounded.
Just like this long-legged combination, it was completely created by Bai Su's backstage boss after being rejected by Bai Su in a bad mood. They have money, connections, and they dominate the circle with one hand, and they use legitimate means, so even if you are angry to the point of vomiting blood, there is nothing you can do about it.
What plots and schemes? In the end, it all comes down to the resources in each other's hands.
"If Tong Xin were here, they might not have won. But now," Bai Su said with difficulty. "If you don't go on stage, or we cancel or postpone the concert, under Bo Yi's manipulation, all the media will attack Butterfly, saying that Butterfly was afraid of Chang Tui and cancelled the concert out of fear."
"If this really happens, it will be a permanent shame on the Butterfly Combination's head. Even if the Butterfly Combination becomes popular again and wins many awards in the future, even if they leave T4 far behind, this wound can never be made up for. Because of fear, you are escaping, which will hurt your image and also hurt the feelings of those fans who support you. They don't think you'll lose, but you gave up yourself."
Tang Chong looked at Bai Su and said: "You won't be trying to force me onto the stage by deliberately fabricating such a story to deceive me, will you?"
"This isn't the first time something like this has happened." Bai Su was speechless towards this cautious and suspicious guy. She said: "You can just search online and you'll know."
"I will confirm it," said Tang Chong.
After chatting for a while, Lin Huiyin and Zhang He went upstairs to rest. Ah Ken and Bai Su discussed something in private, then drove out alone, it's unknown what they were busy with.
Now, there were only Tang Zhong and Bai Su left in the living room.
"What else do you want to ask?" Bai Su smiled and looked at Tang Chong.
"What is the real purpose of Bo Yi?" Tang Chong asked. "They can't possibly do this just because you refused them. If they think that if an artist is rejected once, they can create another similar artist or group, does he think he's God?"
"I knew you wouldn't fall for it." Bai Su gave Tang Chong a white eye, put her two long legs on the table and said: "The boss of Bo Yi not only wants to poach Hu Die's combination, but also made some excessive demands on me. I didn't want to agree, so I refused."
"This is actually my personal matter, originally I shouldn't have refused their acquisition of Butterfly just because of my private feelings. Maybe Butterfly can get better development at Boyi, this is my selfishness. I don't want to part with Butterfly, I don't want to separate from her when she spreads her wings and flies high. So, I kept Butterfly."
"Rather than saying he is avenging the butterfly, it's better to say that he is avenging my ignorance of not knowing how to behave in this circle. It's really hard for women to do something here."
"I can understand it. Echo and Herb should also be able to understand." Tong Zhong comforted.
He reached out and grasped Bai Su's delicate, jade-like foot on the tea table, admiring the beautifully polished deep purple toenails. He sighed and said, "You are now mine, no matter what, you can't be bullied by others. It seems that this battle is inevitable."
Bai Su's face turned red with shame, thinking of how her leg had escaped from Tang Chong's grasp, she scolded: "What are you doing grabbing my foot in the middle of a conversation?"
Tang Zhong pointed at her toes and asked seriously: "How did you paint them like that?"
