At the computer, Zhang Xiaohua opened his private e-mail and printed off a sample of the songs he had prepared the previous night. He made six copies and handed them over to Yuan Datong.Everyone believed Zhang Xiaohua this time as he had not bragged before. He really wrote thirteen songs and not only that, he actually indicated the score of each song"s lyrics.
Everyone scrutinised the lyrics and the corresponding music scores and the results were all awe-inspiring.
All thirteen songs had different styles, which included; rock, cheerful, sentimental, and pop, and they were no worse than the previous seven songs.
A variety of genres would bring different listening effects to different fans. Adding these songs to the concert was definitely not a problem.
"Boss, are you really human? How did you write thirteen songs in such a short time? Every lyric is so perfect. It is incredible!" Emma opened her eyes wide, her star-shaped pupils flickered and trembled. Deep in her heart, there was an urge to wors.h.i.+p him.
"Generally speaking, genius wouldn"t be enough to describe me, you guys need not be afraid of not having enough songs, because there is me." Zhang Xiaohua was just being plain shameless.
However, his words were like a gentle dawn, leading them to see unlimited hope, everyone was thoroughly convinced by him.
"Xiaohua, I"m sorry, I shouldn"t have doubted your ability. You can rest a.s.sured that no matter what you say, I will believe it. The final word will always be yours!" After that, Yuan Datong looked down, as if ashamed to face Zhang Xiaohua.
Yuan Datong had laughed at Zhang Xiaohua, who calling him mentally ill last month. He didn"t believe that he could actually create thirteen songs in a row.
He did not expect him to create a miracle again today!
"All of you are like family to me, there is no need to apologise." Zhang Xiaohua smiled indifferently and said, "We have a lot to do so don"t blame me for being harsh. I"m giving you all two weeks and then I want to see all thirteen songs recorded. Is this an issue?"
"Absolutely not a problem!"
Everyone responded in unison with the fullest enthusiasm, they had acted like Zhang Xiaohua had just gave them a military command!
"I will go call w.a.n.g Jingwen," said Emma.
The others rushed to the recording studio on the second floor, picked up a good instrument, and started to practice from the scoresheets.
...
"d.a.m.n it, who does that kid think he is. If it wasn"t for me singing so well, even if you can create more songs, then what can you do? d.a.m.n you, just wait, one day you will beg to lick this grandmother"s shoes. Sooner or later, I will make you regret everything!"
At the same time, w.a.n.g Jingwen was shouting around her villa like a mental patient, all her grudges had acc.u.mulated in her heart and she concentrated it on Zhang Xiaohua.
At this point, she had been "sheltered" by Zhang Xiaohua for more than a month. Zhang Xiaohua made her stay at home all day and not only did he forbid her from going out, he did not allow her to interact with her fans on the Internet. She was not allowed to even eat anything. She had to drink her own saliva.
For w.a.n.g Jingwen, this kind of life was simply torture.
Although w.a.n.g Jingwen did not go out, she also understood the outside world through the internet.
She knew that she became a national superstar with millions of supporters. Therefore, according to her view, her status today meant that she was fully qualified to discuss conditions with Zhang Xiaohua and change her contract terms.
Actually, it wasn"t enough for her to stay with HuaXiang anymore, she wanted to swap companies while she was still popular. As she believed that once this news came out, many entertainment companies would come to her to offer new contracts and they would definitely be better than HuaXiang Entertainment. Of course, she also knew that those big companies would give her more abundant conditions, more abundant than HuaXiang Entertainment, at least.
With the decision in mind, w.a.n.g Jingwen was about to call Zhang Xiaohua to have a showdown. Unexpectedly, just as she took out her cell phone, the phone began to ring.
As she saw the company"s number, w.a.n.g Jingwen was angered. The grievances she held for a long time broke out.
She pressed the answer b.u.t.ton and was about to start a showdown with the other party, but she had heard Emma"s voice suddenly ringing: "w.a.n.g Jingwen, the boss told me to tell you that your record has been sold out, and the dividend you deserved has already been remitted. Go check your account and then come to the company, the boss has tailor-made thirteen songs for you and each song is a cla.s.sic!"
Hearing this remark, w.a.n.g Jingwen swallowed her unspoken words. Feeling bemused, she thought she was very fortunate for holding her tongue for a second, or else...
However, w.a.n.g Jingwen didn"t care about how Zhang Xiaohua had created thirteen songs in a row, because in her mind, no matter what Zhang Xiaohua did, she naturally deserved it. After all, she was the only contracted singer they had.
Now she only cared about the concert that Zhang Xiaohua had promised her.
A concert was the dream of every singer, it was also the proof of a singer"s strength. Therefore, w.a.n.g Jingwen only wanted to prove her strength so that her own reputation would become bigger and bigger. Only in this way, would those big companies be willing to pay more attention to her and pay for her contract termination fee of 15 million RMB. Plus, in the negotiations she would have more chips to bargain with.
"I know." After a cold sentence to Emma, w.a.n.g Jingwen hung up and then went to the computer to open the online banking app to check her account.
Seeing the 3 million in her account, w.a.n.g Jingwen didn"t feel the slightest bit happy, she felt that she could have gained more benefits based on her current popularity, if she didn"t have such a ruthless contract.
Today, as a popular singer with millions of fans, she only earned 3 million. This was really nothing for the current w.a.n.g Jingwen, she saw the money as an insult to her.
"Well, if you don"t create a proper concert, this grandmother will certainly not hesitate to leave your broken company. I will play along with your game, but we will soon see who will have the final laugh."
After she muttered to herself, w.a.n.g Jingwen went to the dressing table to dress up. Regardless of the severe warnings from Zhang Xiaohua, she applied; foundation, lipstick, eye shadow, perfume, and put on jewellery. She dressed herself like a showpiece and she wanted to see how amazed Zhang Xiaohua would be. She was very confident that he would be infuriated, and that he wouldn"t be able do much to her. After all, he needed her for the concert and Emma had just said on the phone that the thirteen songs were tailor-made just for her. So, she was not afraid that Zhang Xiaohua would not allow her to sing and if he did fire her, all the better, as she could just look for a new company.
After that, she went to pick out an ultrs.e.xy high cross cheongsam and put it on, deliberately exposing her beautiful pair of legs. Even a bra was not worn.
After she dressed up and felt satisfied with everything, w.a.n.g Jingwen finally walked out of the house and headed slowly to HuaXiang Entertainment.
...
It wasn"t until two in the afternoon, w.a.n.g Jingwen walked into the company with no hesitation.
Because she was dressed so s.l.u.tty, which contrasted hugely with the image in the music video, she had received a lot of glances along the way and no one seemed to recognise her.
Just by entering the company"s door, w.a.n.g Jingwen"s strong smell of perfume dispersed around the room. Even Yuan Datong, who was in the recording studio on the second floor, could clearly feel the unique smell of perfume, which seriously stimulated everyone"s senses. Their noses became very uncomfortable.
As they followed the fragrance, the crowd came downstairs collectively and they immediately fixed their eyes on it"s source. They were all shocked by the sight.
It was just that everyone looked at her for a long time. Who was this bright and unconstrained woman in front of them?
w.a.n.g Jingwen looked at everyone and ignored Zhang Xiaohua. She walked through the crowd slowly to the recording studio on the second floor. It was a full-blown disdain.
"I"m not mistaken, right? Was that w.a.n.g Jingwen just now?" Emma asked, as she looked at w.a.n.g Jingwen"s back.
"The perfume is very similar to the one she wore when we first saw her. Her dress on the other hand is even more exaggerated though!"
"I couldn"t recognise her at all!"
"Didn"t boss tell her not dress up like that? How could she…?"
Several people at this point, all turned to Zhang Xiaohua.
Zhang Xiaohua was sitting on the chair behind his desk. He looked very calm and he wasn"t the slightest bit angry with w.a.n.g Jingwen. Instead, he was very pleased.
In Zhang Xiaohua"s opinion, the fact that w.a.n.g Jingwen could change her image so easily was great. After all, her "pure" image would eventually become boring and then produce an aesthetic fatigue to her fans.
Nowadays, people paid more attention to packaging and innovation. Just like food, repeatedly eating the same meal day in and day out, even if it was delicious, would become tiring and tasteless if done for a long time.
The same was true for stars, different styles must be changed over time to cater to the tastes of different audiences. Otherwise, even if the star was perfect, they would not be accepted by the public. In terms of food, w.a.n.g Jingwen"s change would be comparable to changing from sweet to spicy.
"Boss, w.a.n.g Jingwen, she..."
"Leave her alone. Your most important task now is to hurry up and record the songs. Go quickly."
"Oh."
Emma spoke a few words and went to the recording studio with the others.
"Xiaohua, you wrote so many songs at once and you must be tired. I think you should go home and rest." Yuan Datong looked at Zhang Xiaohua earnestly and said with concern.
Speaking of the workload, Zhang Xiaohua did indeed have a busy schedule. He had written and composed the scores for the songs and he also had to direct the music video and in the future, he would also need to arrange the concert.
In comparison, Yuan Datong felt that he was inferior to him.
Unprecedented!
