Brother Hao opens a new book, and the whole authors’ group starts discussing it—
On Windy Street: “Brother Hao’s new book is too hot, it’s only been one day and it’s already broke five thousand collections!”
In Peaceful Embrace: “Yeah, seriously can’t compare, I only get that many in a month, and that’s only with a major promotion.”
City’s Shady Ways, I’m Going Back to the Countryside: “Otherwise, could he be called the Supreme God? Actually, it hasn’t even been a day yet, not even twenty-four hours, just wait until it hits twenty-four hours, it’ll be even more fierce!”
On Windy Street: “Definitely, just starting the book and it’s dominating all the charts, the only one that can compete with him now is Fight Breaker.”
In Peaceful Embrace: “Looking at the current momentum, it’s even more fierce than Fight Breaker, twelve thousand votes in one day! Damn, I can’t even imagine!”
Little Monster: “Damn, this is just bad luck, Devouring the Stars had a chance to ascend to the throne of God, but then it ran into Brother Hao. Sigh, I really had high hopes for that book, too bad. The chance of becoming famous from being the first in monthly tickets upon debut seems slim now.”
In Peaceful Embrace: “Yeah, otherwise he could have clinched the top spot in new book monthly tickets and been hailed immediately. Now there’s no hope.”
Little Monster: “Such a pity, I’ve been following it these past two days, don’t be fooled by the lukewarm opening scene, the more you read, the more flavorful it gets. Fight Breaker goes with the flow of heaven and earth, but Devouring the Stars definitely has strong backing!”
In Peaceful Embrace: “That’s useless, strength is strength, popularity is popularity, Brother Hao’s popularity is incomparable.”
Little Monster: “What a shame, sigh…”
…
The online world swirls with activity, and at the same time, at Dream Recording Studio.
“Brother Hao, are you sure there’s no problem?” Jiang Feng stood nervously beside Wang Hao and asked, “The competition is less than two days away now…”
“With the life-and-death friendship between us, would I deceive you?” Wang Hao laughed, “Mr. Ning will be here soon to start!”
Speaking of which, Wang Hao and Jiang Feng really shared a life-and-death bond, having truly faced life and death together in the mountains.
After chatting a bit more, the studio door was pushed open and Ning Weida walked in.
“Ha ha ha, little brother got a new song?” Upon arrival, Ning Weida laughed, “Man, these past few days my phone has nearly exploded, lots of singers begging me to compose music, and even seeking you for lyrics, but I’ve sent them all away. Speaking of which, little brother, you should really get a manager, otherwise you’ll be too busy in the future.”
“Absolutely,” Wang Hao laughed, “Thanks, Mr. Ning, otherwise I really couldn’t cope! Speaking of which, I should find a manager, otherwise I’d have no time for anything else.”
What am I now? I’m an influential figure! Can I spend every day just answering calls? One today, another tomorrow, it’d kill me with busyness!
I need a manager, yeah, definitely not anyone surnamed Song!
It has to be a woman, and a beautiful one at that! A gorgeous beauty!
Wang Hao pulled out his phone and called Xia Xueqi: “Hey, beauty, what are you up to?”
Xia Xueqi: “Brother Hao! What made you think of calling me?!”
Wang Hao: “I need a manager, and I think you’d be great, interested?”
Xia Xueqi: “Really? I’m definitely interested! Where are you, Brother Hao? I’ll take leave and come to you right now?”
Wang Hao: “Sounds good, just come over. I reckon your company’s boss wouldn’t dare give you trouble.”
Dare to give her trouble and watch, I’ll teach him a lesson in minutes!
Xia Xueqi: “That goes without saying, with a word from Brother Hao it’s done! Send the address, if it’s not far I’ll be there in twenty minutes!”
After hanging up, Wang Hao laughed, “Alright, Mr. Ning, my manager will be here soon, hehe, from now on anyone looking for me will have to talk to my manager!” Brother is an influential figure with a manager now! Hahaha!
“Ha ha, I love your straightforward character!” Ning Weida laughed heartily and patted Wang Hao on the shoulder, saying, “Alright, manager issue’s resolved, you’ll be more relaxed now. What’s the situation today?”
Wang Hao immediately told Ning Weida about Jiang Feng’s situation, and as a music fanatic, Ning Weida’s eyes brightened: “Little brother, you really have a song that suits him?!”
“I really do,” Wang Hao grinned, “Should we start now?”
“Absolutely!” Ning Weida immediately sat at the piano, “Let’s start!”
The two of them had worked together often before—Wang Hao now began to sing.
For Jiang Feng, Wang Hao was very confident; as long as he sang songs from Wang Feng, who had ruled half of the Chinese music world in his past life, success was guaranteed!
Look at the names, Wang Feng, Jiang Feng, they’re so similar—just one stroke difference!
So the first song Wang Hao chose was “Existence”!
It was an explosively powerful song, perfectly suited to Jiang Feng’s raspy voice. To shout out all the past grievances and discontent—that was the essence of Wang Dao!
Wang Hao sang the song once and Jiang Feng, sitting beside him, already tasted its flavor!
“What an amazing song… so well written!” Jiang Feng clenched his fists, visibly excited. He felt the song was a perfect fit for him.
“How do I… exist!”
As soon as the song finished, Ning Weida began composing. Being a professional, he first worked out the melodies, then picked the instrumental accompaniments, and everything progressed smoothly.
While Ning Weida composed, Xia Xueqi also arrived.
“Brother Hao!” Xia Xueqi threw herself at Wang Hao upon seeing him, “Brother Hao, you’re like my real brother! Always thinking of me for such great opportunities!”
“Take it easy, take it easy,” Wang Hao replied, sweating profusely, “Don’t get too excited!”
“Hehe,” Xia Xueqi chuckled, “You’re really asking me to be your manager?”
“What else would I call you here for?” Wang Hao said, “How about it, can you do it? I’ll start your salary at twenty thousand a month, okay?”
“I’ve never done it before, but I can learn!” Xia Xueqi seemed thrilled, almost hanging on Wang Hao’s arm, “From now on, I’m going to follow you, Brother Hao! Does this mean I’m officially an office worker with a monthly income of twenty thousand?”
“You’ll turn into a gold collar,” Wang Hao said with a laugh. “Stick with me, and you’ll live the good life!”
“Thank you, Brother Hao!” Xia Xueqi replied, “Then I’ll start the handover process right away! I don’t hold an important position at my company anyway. Two days should be enough.”
She was very confident about this—what kind of person was Brother Hao? He was like a divine being! She had witnessed him amaze everyone at the reunion; he was incredible in every way! Hanging with Brother Hao was way more thrilling than a regular job!
If only she could bend some rules…
Well, that wasn’t very likely.
“Why put in all that effort,” Wang Hao took out his phone and called Li Mingzhe: “Li, it’s me, Wang Hao. Yeah, here’s the deal, I need to borrow someone from you… Yes, Xia Xueqi! I need a manager, and she’ll do! Sure, sure, that settles it, okay, no problem, let’s have dinner sometime, good!”
After hanging up, Wang Hao snapped his fingers: “All set!”
Xia Xueqi: “…” Were her eyes turning heart-shaped or what? Brother Hao was so cool! Settling things in just one sentence, if it were up to her, it would’ve taken at least two days! That’s what a real man is like, so face-saving!
Now that her role was confirmed, with Brother Hao’s integrity, it was naturally time to make a good impression. So Wang Hao immediately transferred ten thousand to Xia Xueqi through WeChat: “A little something.”
Xia Xueqi: “Long live Brother Hao!” She pecked him on his cheek in an instant!
Wang Hao: “…”
Ah, splurging this once feels so good, haha, exhilarating!
Meanwhile, Jiang Feng had started practicing the song with Ning Weida, as each person’s tone was unique, and many details of this tailor-made song still needed adjustments.
With nothing urgent at hand, Wang Hao started to review the materials for Zhonghai Good Songs.
His main task at the moment was to handle the talent show, so understanding the details was essential.
He went onto Baidu, searched for Zhonghai Good Songs, and quickly gathered the information.
Zhonghai Good Songs, somewhat similar to “The Voice,” was a public talent show. It used live registration by drawing lots for auditions, with audition sessions held every Wednesday evening, selecting the top eighteen contestants. These contenders would then compete in the semifinals on the last day of each month, narrowing it to a top six, with the yearly total of seventy-two contestants competing in the final in December, selecting the top eight most talented, essentially guaranteeing their rise to stardom.
As for song selection, one could either perform existing songs or opt for original creations, which was fairly flexible.
In Wang Hao’s view, this Zhonghai Good Songs was nothing special, but for Jiang Feng, regaining his confidence was the first hurdle, and getting a place was necessary.
