Wait, Zhang Manman thought of a possibility, and it was also a possibility that she least expected to see.
"You said that the other party suddenly made a fortune, so you should have investigated him, right? In what month did he make a fortune?" Zhang Manman asked.
"It seems to be in May. His small restaurant was suddenly closed in May. Not only did he rent two big doors in Starlight Plaza to open a hot pot restaurant, he also bought a large apartment in a building near Starlight Plaza." Zhang Li said.
"In May..."East Wind Breaks"..." Zhang Manman's heart sank, getting closer and closer to the guess in her heart, "Who is the boss opposite? What is his last name?"
"My surname is Wang, and my name is Wang Guojun."
"Does he have a son named Wang Xuan?"
"I do have a son, but I haven't investigated whether his name is Wang Xuan. By the way, I met them at Xiangjiang Airport in the afternoon."
"What does his son look like?"
"Quite tall, at least 1.8 meters, and quite handsome..."
"Okay, I'll leave Ten if you don't." Zhang Manman sighed. Although Wang Xuan didn't show up much, he had participated in "Actor" after all. Zhang Manman still had a general idea of his height and appearance.
"What? Is there something wrong with his son?"
"It's a big problem, uncle, you've done me a disservice. Do you know why Tianyu and the others came out? Do you know why Lin Rui stood up for the hot pot restaurant opposite? It's all because the other party has a good son."
"Can't? His son has so much energy? Even King Lin Ge wants to give him face?" Zhang Li didn't believe it.
"Reality is bigger than you think, but I don't blame you. Although you pay a lot of attention to the entertainment industry, your attention is probably only on the stars in the entertainment industry. You have no idea what the word 'Wang Xuan' represents in the entertainment industry. What. Let alone Lin Ge Wang, if Wang Xuan opens his mouth, it is estimated that few people in the entire music world can refuse. Let’s put it this way, Lin Ge Wang is where he is today because of Wang Xuan. Your niece’s new song this month Being suppressed by a fledgling newcomer is also thanks to Wang Xuan."
"...What should we do?" Zhang Li became even more panicked after hearing this.
"Cold salad. Uncle, let's be prepared for a disastrous ending this time."
The dismal ending mentioned by Zhang Manman not only refers to this supporting role, but also refers to the hot pot restaurant chain plan. She previously invested in Zhang Li's hot pot restaurant because she found that there were no stars involved in the hot pot restaurant industry. If everything went well, she would be the first to do so.
No matter which industry, the first person to eat crabs is bound to have great potential. But now it is discovered that Wang Xuan also has a hot pot plan at the same time, and even the plan is earlier than hers. Then she is no longer the first one to eat crabs, but has competition.
Zhang Manman is self-aware and knows that compared with the competition, he will definitely not be able to compare with "Haidilao" with Lin Rui's bonus. And judging from the fact that "Haidilao" actually hired celebrities to act as assistants, the other party obviously has a big appetite and will definitely expand in the future. In this case, there is no need to continue this hot pot chain plan unless their assistants can suppress each other tomorrow.
Can they be trusted to suppress Lin Rui? is it possible? Just think about it and you know it's impossible. To put it bluntly, it is a question whether the celebrities she invited to support have the courage to challenge Lin Rui.
Sure enough, soon several supporting stars on their side came to her collectively.
"Sister Man, isn't this just an ordinary assistant? Why did it turn into a ring with Tianyu, and King Lin..." Cai Yingying said worriedly. Although the other stars who were assistants didn't say anything, they all regretted it very much. This trip into murky waters.
Celebrity assisting is not just a simple act, it is also a way to increase popularity and exposure, and also earn money.
They had agreed to come over to support Zhang Manman because there were not many big-name invitations on the National Day. While selling Zhang Manman's face, they could also gain some exposure to Zhang Manman's popularity. But now I find that they may not be popular, and may even get into trouble. Once they work hard to support the performance tomorrow, but there are not many viewers, the blow to them will definitely be huge.
But the ring with Lin Gewang is still so close, will there be many people watching their supporting performances? Just think about it and you know it’s impossible! How can they not regret it? How to be calm?
"I'm sorry, everyone. I blame me for not investigating clearly. But who would have thought that the hot pot restaurant opposite is actually owned by Wang Xuan's family?"
"Wang Xuan? Teacher Wang Xuan, a top composer?"
"Um."
"...How does this matter have anything to do with Teacher Wang Xuan? With Teacher Wang Xuan's status in the entertainment industry, can his family open a hotpot restaurant?"
"This is what I can't figure out. When I knew that the hot pot restaurant was going to hire celebrity assistants, I thought they could only hire some low-profile stars."
"What should we do now? There is no way we can win the Lin Song King."
If it were just Guo Xiaojing's group, they would still have the confidence to give it a try. But when facing Lin Rui, they had no intention of colliding with each other, because that was not called a collision, but an egg hitting a rock, causing their own destruction.
Whenever they meet Lin Rui Shilei, they always take a detour. The problem didn't work this time because they had already let the news go out in the afternoon. Who in the entertainment industry and even the entire Internet doesn't know that they will be supporting actors at Huamei Plaza tomorrow? If they stop performing, they will definitely become a joke in the entertainment industry. This is also the most difficult part for Cai Yingying and others. I can't fight again and again, and I can't hide anymore. It can be said that it is difficult to get off the tiger.
"Everyone, please be patient. Let me call the company first." Zhang Manman said. To be precise, she called Luo Yun, the head of Huayi Media's artist department.
After the call was connected, Zhang Manman roughly explained the ins and outs of the matter.
Luo Yun listened quietly: "Okay, I understand. Now go discuss this matter with the director and others. I will reply to you later."
"Okay, thank you, Sister Yun." Zhang Manman thanked her, hung up the phone and turned to Cai Yingying and others, "Sister Yun said that the company will discuss this matter and will give me a reply later, so let's not rush."
"Will the company come forward?"
"It's possible. Tianyu has been in too much limelight recently, so it's normal for the company to want to suppress it."
...
On the other side, before Zhang Manman called Luo Yun, several senior executives of Huayi were already discussing the matter. In addition, Great Wall and Starry Sky are also discussing this matter, and the three giants jointly held a video conference to discuss it.
The reason why the Big Three are the Big Three is not only because the Big Three are extremely powerful individually, but also because the Big Three are actually three gangsters. Although they compete with each other, when there are signs of threatening them below, they will unite. Get up and suppress it, nipping the seeds in the cradle.
To put it simply, it’s okay to hang out at the bottom of the mountain, but if you want to climb to the top of the mountain, it’s impossible, even to the neck of the mountain.
Jin Hui was a giant in the last century, and his background was there. There was also an international king sitting in charge, so they just couldn't suppress him. Otherwise, the three giants would not even allow quasi-giant companies to exist.
No, because Tianyu has been in the limelight recently, in just two months, this is the second time that the three giants have discussed Tianyu's issue. But at this time, no matter how popular Tianyu is, it means nothing to the three giants. At most, it is just a sign.
"I figured it out, the matter is very simple. The hot pot restaurant in Starlight Plaza is owned by Wang Xuan's family, and Lin Rui and the others went to support Wang Xuan." After the call, Luo Yun returned to the video conference and said.
"That's it." Several giants present at the meeting breathed a sigh of relief. A group of stars from Tianyu came to Starlight Plaza to help perform, and they were afraid that Tianyu Entertainment would get close to the Starlight Group. They can ignore Tianyu Entertainment, but if Starlight Group is added to it, they have to take it seriously. After all, the combined financial resources of their three giants cannot match that of Starlight Group.
"I asked, has Tianyu been a little too active recently?" said the director of Great Wall Entertainment.
"It's a bit active, let's suppress it."
"I suggest starting with Lin Rui and Wang Xuan. As the saying goes, capture the king first and suppress Lin Rui and Wang Xuan. The others are not worth mentioning."
"But these two are not easy to suppress. With Lin Rui's popularity at the sky, who can suppress him? As for Wang Xuan, with all due respect, no one can suppress him. After all, he has not made his debut. If we want to suppress him, we can only Let’s start with the works. In terms of comparable works, which top composer today dares to say that he can definitely beat Wang Xuan? How many songs has Wang Xuan released in the past few months? Not to mention the first masterpiece, there are actually epoch-making songs and shortlisted global music Award-winning song, the song selected as the theme song of "Warcraft"...
Just this month, don’t we also want to suppress him? As a result, three first-tier singers, two second-tier singers, and several top songwriters were dispatched, but all of them were wiped out. The newcomers who had been armed by Wang Xuan were killed without leaving any trace..."
"Do you mean to let Lin Rui and Wang Xuan dance around?"
"On the contrary, I very much agree to suppress Lin Rui and Wang Xuan. I just want to put the difficulties in front of everyone so that everyone can pay more attention to them, so as not to become Tianyu's foot pedal again."
"I agree with Lao Lin's point of view. Lin Rui and Wang Xuan have become a quarrel. But I think we don't need to deal with Wang Xuan, just suppress Lin Rui. If Lin Rui is suppressed, no matter how good Wang Xuan is, Tianyu will not be able to do anything. If you can’t stand up, you can only dance on the mountainside.”
"But Lin Rui is really hard to suppress. Especially this year, the sales of the single and album of "Dongfeng Po" are too high. To be honest with you, Lin Rui has snatched the endorsement of one of the international kings in our starry sky."
"The endorsement of one of our international kings at Great Wall was also snatched away by Lin Rui."
"Huayi was also robbed."
Of course, the snatching here does not mean that the endorsement that originally belonged to the International King was snatched away by Lin Rui, but that the International King lost to Lin Rui in the competition with Lin Rui for the endorsement. Because in the past, this kind of endorsement was almost easy to obtain as long as the King of Heaven took action. But this year it failed with Lin Rui.
"Oh, we are all brothers in need."
"So I have to suppress Lin Rui even more. Huayi, since today's incident started because of your Huayi Zhang Manman, it's up to you Huayi to take the lead, and our Great Wall and Xingkong will help. It just so happens that our Great Wall has a first-line singer. Xiangjiang, prepare to participate in Xiangjiang TV’s National Day Gala.”
“We in Starry Sky also have a popular first-line singer in Xiangjiang, so it’s no problem to help out.”
"Then it's settled." The video conference finally ended.
Only Cheng Kun, the director of Huayi, Luo Yun, the head of the artist department, and Wu Jun, the head of the music department, were left in the office.
"Mr. Cheng, who are you going to mobilize? Lin Rui is really hard to suppress right now. If he can't be suppressed, the blow to others may be the giant's. I estimate that several of our Huayi singers will definitely not be able to suppress him at this time. I'm willing to touch Lin Rui's bad luck," Luo Yun said.
"I do have a candidate." Wu Jun interjected.
"who?"
"The king of iron lung singer Lin Zhixiang."
Cheng Kun and Luo Yun's eyes lit up at the same time. This is indeed a very good choice.
First of all, Lin Zhixiang was also a popular presence in half the world back then. Although he has declined slightly in recent years, his popularity is still good. Secondly, Lin Zhixiang is 50 this year and can't sing for a few more years. It is perfect to use it to block Lin Rui. Everyone is happy if he wins, and it doesn't have much impact if he loses. Just use the remaining heat.
"It's just him. I remember Lin Zhixiang happens to be in Xiangjiang. Luo Yun, please inform him that he must go to Huamei Plaza tomorrow to help out." Cheng Kun said.
"Understood." The meeting ended.
.....
"Okay, I understand." When Lin Zhixiang received the call from Luo Yun, he only said this without saying anything else, but he couldn't help but feel a little sad in his heart.
"Brother, how can the company do this? Isn't this pushing you out to be cannon fodder?" Lin Zhixiang's agent said angrily.
This is also the reason why Lin Zhixiang feels sad. His popularity at his peak may have been justified by Lin Rui's current situation, but now... if he were to collide with Lin Rui, he would be no different from cannon fodder.
"No, I'll go find the company to reason with you." The agent became angrier as he thought about it.
"No need to look for it, it's useless." Lin Zhixiang grabbed the agent, "Don't you understand? In the eyes of the company, I have not had a good few years. Recently, I have been delaying the renewal of the contract and keeping the price down. This is evidence of it. .”
"But I feel like there's nothing wrong with my voice. If it weren't for the lack of resources provided by the company recently, I even feel that I'm still in my prime."
"I also feel that with my voice I can sing until I'm 70 at least, but your feelings and mine are useless. Most singers have long since retired by my age. It's normal that companies don't want to bet on me. I haven't seen many big names. Don’t you dare to endorse me as well?”
"..."
"My contract should expire in May next year, right? There's no need to talk. Since the company has decided that I'm no longer good, there's no need to continue working together. It's easy to get together and part ways."
"But brother, if we don't talk about it, what are you going to do next?"
"Whatever, if a company sincerely signs me, I will sign. If not, I will become an independent singer. Anyway, I have made so much money before, so I won't starve to death, right?"
"We can also open a studio." The agent suggested.
"It's too late, but it's still an option. Let's see when the time comes." Lin Zhixiang said.
...
On the other side, Zhang Manman, who was waiting in Jiaozuo, finally got a call from Luo Yun. After hanging up the phone, Zhang Manman was overjoyed.
"Sister Man, what did Sister Yun say?"
"It's done! Sister Yun will let us assist as normal, and the company will send out singers to help us win the show. Not only the company will come forward, Great Wall Entertainment and Star Media will also send out first-line singers to help us win the show."
"Wow!"
"Everyone is relieved this time, right? Let's go back and have a good rest. There is still a battle waiting for us tomorrow."
"Yes." Cai Yingying and others nodded.
This scene made the three first, second and third runner-up of "Sounds of Nature" a little envious. They thought that it would be better to enjoy the shade under a big tree. Seeing that Huayi can bring out the king of singers in one assist, and let the other two giants help out. Unlike Chenxing, they only have a few top-tier singers.
...
Having said that, in the afternoon, when Zhang Manman and others officially announced that they would be supporting performances at the Huamei Plaza on National Day, Zeng Manli, who was still instructing employees at the Haidilao hot pot restaurant to test the last pot base, changed her face drastically.
"First-tier singer Zhang Manman, second-tier singers Cai Yingying and Lin Manyu, third-tier singer Shen Zetian, plus the first, second and third runner-up of "The Sound of Nature"... How can they compete with this lineup? It's over!" Zeng Manli felt like the sky was falling. .
Zeng Manli could no longer remain calm. After asking her employees to continue testing the hot pot base, she hurriedly asked Zhou Meiling: "Boss Boss, where is the boss?"
"I just called him. He seemed to say he was picking someone up at the airport. It seemed that the celebrity team he invited had arrived. What's wrong? Look at your look?" Zhou Meiling asked.
"Zhang Li invited several big-name stars to assist. Does the boss know this news? They are all popular stars, and there are even several first- and second-tier stars. I want to know who we have invited here?"
"I don't know about this, and I guess the boss doesn't know either, because the star team was all invited by my son. But don't worry, my son told me that no matter who comes on the other side, our side will be worthy."
"..." Zeng Manli actually wanted to say: "Do you know what the concept of a first- and second-tier star is, is it true?" However, Zeng Manli would only think about this in her heart and read "Emotional Intelligence" thoroughly. She will definitely not say it.
"What about the stage? The stage on the opposite side was set up two or three days ago. Our side..." Zeng Manli asked.
"My son said we don't need to worry about the stage. He arranges it freely."
"...Since when has this happened? Don't you need to worry about it? Do you only have arrangements?" Zeng Manli complained in her heart. The more she thought about it, the more unreliable she became. Could it be that the so-called celebrity assistants were fooling her, right?
As soon as this idea came to mind, many, many people suddenly came outside the hot pot restaurant, probably no less than three hundred people. Each of these people wore the uniforms of Starlight Property and began to clean up the scene. They cleared all the obstacles outside the Starlight Plaza and actually cleared an open space that could accommodate two to three thousand people.
Then, the security guards from Starlight Properties began to cordon off the site, and then Starlight Group vehicles loaded with materials drove into the cordoned off site, and each person began to unload materials, including stage trusses, polycloth, carpets, lights, speakers, and LED background walls. ...
"This is?" Zeng Manli was confused.
"It should be that the stage decoration team arranged by my son has arrived." Zhou Meiling said.
"..." What was unloaded were all stage materials. Zeng Manli was not stupid. Of course she knew that the stage decoration team had arrived. If she read the question correctly, the person responsible for setting the stage at the moment was a professional team from the Starlight Group headquarters. ah!
Because the car that drove in was from the Starlight Group, not the Starlight Plaza branch, and the person in charge of setting up the stage was wearing clothes from the Starlight Group, not from the Starlight Plaza. There was a big difference.
The biggest difference is that with the capabilities of the Xiangjiang Branch of Star Plaza, it is unable to assemble such a professional stage setting team. The stage set team at the Starlight Group headquarters is definitely top-notch even if it is placed in major TV stations and major entertainment companies.
No, all the staff worked in an orderly manner. In less than two hours, a prototype of a large stage was set up. After that, there were various tests on equipment, sound, lighting, etc...
Before 6 o'clock in the evening, the stage was completely set up and tested. It was definitely a very professional stage that could be used at a party that night.
After the stage was set up, another fully loaded car drove in, this time unloading special tables and chairs for hot pot, which were no less functional than those inside "Haidilao". The staff of Starlight Group began to arrange their arrangements in an orderly manner....
This scene made Zeng Manli take a breath, she was really shocked.
So how powerful is their boss? It was okay to take her in before, but now even the Starlight Group is giving her face like this. This is the Starlight Group.
Compare this to the Huamei Group. When Zhang Li's hotpot restaurant arranged the stage, the Huamei Group did not show up at all. It only made a symbolic contribution from the distribution of Huamei Plaza. Otherwise, why would Zhang Li's stage be decorated with two or three people? sky?
Doesn't it mean that their boss is even more powerful than Zhang Li? It should be noted that there are not only two five-star hotels behind Zhang Li, but also a first-line celebrity as the backstage. How can Zeng Manli not be shocked?
It seems that she really made a good choice. Zeng Manli suddenly gained confidence in hot pot restaurants. "Haidilao" hot pot restaurants might be like Wang Guojun's plan and would open all over China in the future.
In the midst of random thoughts, Tianyu Entertainment's official Weibo suddenly announced its official Weibo, and then a group of celebrities from Tianyu Entertainment forwarded it. The content simply made Zeng Manli overjoyed.
"Guo Xiaojing, Xu Yang, Fan Shanshan, Yang Tingting, Wang Shasha, Lin Miaoke... This, this, this, is this the star lineup invited by the boss? It is indeed worthy of each other." Zeng Manli thought to herself.
However, with the Starlight Group coming forward and the assistant performances from Guo Xiaojing and others, it didn't surprise her much. Even Starlight Group has come forward. Isn’t it normal for Guo Xiaojing and others to help with the performance? Nothing to be surprised about.
Zeng Manli thought so. In a good mood, she called her best friend out and went to have a big meal nearby to share her joy.
At the dinner table, Zeng Manli was enjoying her meal. At this moment, Lin Rui forwarded Tianyu Entertainment's Weibo. Then, Zeng Manli's best friend was in tragedy and was sprayed in the face by Zeng Manli.
"I++, the boss even invited King Lin Ge, this and this..." Zeng Manli could no longer remain calm and even forgot to apologize to her best friend because she was so shocked.
That's the King of Lin Singer!
King Lin Ge is actually willing to give their little hotpot restaurant a platform? Just kidding! Even though Lin Rui's Weibo content was clearly displayed in front of her, Zeng Manli still had an unreal feeling.
The entire entertainment industry and the entire Internet began to explode because of this Weibo post forwarded by Lin Rui. Several giants began to jointly discuss and finally decided to suppress Tianyu and Lin Rui. The big media with a keen sense of smell directly delayed the revelations they had prepared and continued to dig deeper.
Hard work pays off.
At 9 o'clock in the evening, the official Weibo of a major local media in Xiangjiang released the first-hand complete news.
"Breaking news, the showdown between Tianyu stars represented by Lin Gewang and Huayi stars headed by Zhang Manman and the "Teana" star is due to the jealousy between the two hot pot restaurants after they opened. I know that most people say this I don’t believe it, how can two hot pot restaurants afford to hire Lin Gewang and others to assist when they open their doors? I didn’t believe it at first, but this is the fact.
Normally, a hot pot restaurant cannot afford to hire stars of this level when opening its doors. Not to mention King Lin, even third-tier stars may not be able to afford it. But what if it’s free? I know you won’t believe this and think I’m insulting your intelligence. Because Lin Gewang and others have already given Tian Da a great deal of face by assisting, and they are free of charge. Isn't this a fantasy?
But in fact, this is really not a fantasy. Because King Lin Ge actually assisted a hot pot restaurant, which is the biggest fantasy in itself.
Think about how many big names wanted to invite Lin Gewang to assist in the past, but they couldn't. Why should a hot pot restaurant do it? I will tell you why right now, just because the owner of this hot pot restaurant has a good son.
Just because the hot pot restaurant owner’s son is named Wang Xuan! "
As soon as this news came out, the entire Internet went crazy. Related topics quickly became hot searches, and comments came out densely under the hot searches.
"66666!"
"I asked why Tianyu Entertainment is so generous, and I asked why King Lin Ge is so generous. It turns out it's Wang Xuan's hotpot restaurant."
"No wonder. With Wang Xuan's current status in the entertainment industry, let alone King Lin. If he invited me, I believe any singer in the music industry would be able to refuse."
"Zhang Manman, the flood has washed away the Dragon King Temple!"
"Looking for Zhang Manman's psychological shadow area online, and also asking for the psychological shadow area of Cai Yingying and others, facing off against Lin Gewang...ah, I'm dead, ah, I'm gone."
"Stop screaming upstairs. Your voice is so ecstatic that I can't stand it."
"Blogger, your revelations are incomplete. For example, why Zhang Manman is willing to assist another hot pot restaurant. In addition, why are the two hot pot restaurants so jealous that they choose to open on the same day during the National Day?" Someone liked this big media's Weibo Bo.
"I know this. I am from Xiangjiang. Zhang Manman gave support to another hot pot restaurant because she is an uncle-nephew relationship with Zhang Li, the owner of that hot pot restaurant. Zhang Li also has two five-star hotels behind him. , it is rumored that Zhang Manman also has a stake in it.
As for why the two hot pot restaurants are so jealous, it all started because Zhang Li had a conflict with the manager of one of his five-star hotels, and the manager left with his team. Zhang Li is a very respectable person, and he is also a bit powerful. He used harsh words to stop others. No one else dared to take in the manager and his team. As a result, Wang Xuan's father ignored Zhang Li's words and took in the manager and his team. This was how Liang Zi ended up. "
"Oh, what a big melon! But this time Zhang Li has hit the wall."
"Isn't it true? No matter how powerful he is, can he compare with Teacher Wang Xuan?"
"Wang Xuan YYDS, no explanation!"
...
Just when the melon-eating masses thought that this would be a one-sided massacre, Lu Fang, a first-line singer from Great Wall Entertainment, and Lu Yuan, a first-line singer from Star Media, simultaneously posted on Weibo: On National Day, we will focus on Xiangjiang Huamei Plaza and see you there or not.
"I go!"
"66666!"
"The three giants are planning to go head-to-head with Tianyu!" The crowd was excited.
And if Lu Fang and Lu Yuan's Weibo posts only excited netizens, Iron Lung Singer Lin Zhixiang's subsequent Weibo posts finally ignited the entire Internet again.
Explode!
Explosion of explosions!
Because the content posted on Weibo by Iron Lung Singer Lin Zhixiang is also: National Day, lock in Xiangjiang Huamei Plaza, see you there or not!
...
