My Wife is Obviously a Queen but She is too Virtuous

Chapter 144 - Long and Thick Earthworms

Yun Hai Channel, Studio One.

Huang Yin, who had just finished recording the Flower Show, was sitting in the artist lounge.

"Mr. Fang, hello?"

Huang Yin shouted twice at the phone, but the other party had already hung up.

Pah!

"What the hell! Cow what cow?"

Huang Yin angrily slammed her phone on the table, directly shattering the tempered film along with the screen.

At that moment, Chen Zhi walked in from outside and frowned slightly when he saw this scene, turning around and closing the lounge door.

"Did he hang up again?"

Chen Zhi asked to Huang Yin.

"It says he's trying to catch a plane."

Huang Yin gritted her teeth.

"Catching a plane again? Last time was also catching a plane..."

Chen Zhi lifted his glasses and shook his head.

"It seems someone has already roped Fang Xiaole in, or he's only willing to write songs for Lin Yao alone."

"Impossible!"

Huang Yin tossed the phone to the little assistant guarding the side and instructed, "Go fix it for me right away."

"Yes, Sister Huang." The little assistant caught it on her hands and knees and hurried out the door.

Huang Yin continued to Chen Zhi.

"Isn't it just the highest bidder? Go find out how much Lin Yao spent on the Painted Heart, we'll just pay twice as much! I don't believe this Fang Xiaole doesn't even want money!"

The last time Chen Zhi called Fang Xiaole and was politely refused, the proud Huang Yin was unwilling to lower herself to a grassroots creator.

But a few days later, after Chen Guanghan's new movie promo came out, Huang Yin realized that the movie's theme song was actually sung by Lin Yao.

And the quality of the song "Painted Heart" was very high, which matched the movie's images even more shockingly.

Although the song hasn't hit the charts yet, it's already gaining momentum over Rooftop, Meet, and Woman's Flower.

When Huang Yin heard the song, she went crazy.

You've only been on the charts for a short time, and you've got a high-quality song that's become the theme song for a major director's movie.

How am I supposed to catch up with you when you're taking such big steps?

Do you still see me as an opponent?

And after asking around, Chen Zhi found out that the lyricist of the song "Painted Heart" was actually Fang Xiaole again!

Now Huang Yin couldn't sit still at all, who else would dare to say that Fang Xiaole was just a grassroots creator now?

It was said that many entertainment companies were already inquiring about Fang Xiaole, wanting to get involved with him.

Especially those female singers, since Fang Xiaole had only written songs for Lin Yao so far, indicating that his songwriting style was biased towards female singers.

And in just over a month's time, Lin Yao had jumped from an unlucky egg with near total internet blackness to a popular singer, and had the momentum to leap directly from rookie to quasi or even first-tier.

This was closely related to the few high-quality songs Fang Xiaole had written.

A grassroots singer with such talent and no "home" yet is too attractive to singers who are in the second or first tier and want to move up the ladder.

From what Chen Zhi has heard, although many female singers are not making any moves on the surface, they have been looking for all kinds of relationships in private, trying to make friends with Fang Xiaole.

It could be said that the current Fang Xiaole was like a long and thick earthworm floating on a fish pond, while the female singers were like fish ready to bite this earthworm into their mouths at any moment.

Huang Yin doesn't have that many contacts in the entertainment industry yet, so she can't go through all the trouble to find them, so she simply calls Fang Xiaole.

Just didn't expect that the other party would actually reject her cleanly.

"Why did Fang Xiaole reject you directly, don't you understand?"

Chen Zhi gave Huang Yin a helpless look.

"It means there are already many female singers with a bigger curiosity than you who have approached him, and they are now for sale, so naturally they don't see us."

"Am I inferior to Lin Yao? It's all out of money, if he can sell songs to Lin Yao why can't he sell them to me?" Huang Yin was unconvinced.

"I heard from the grapevine that the Painted Heart was given to Lin Yao by Fang Xiaole, not sold to her." Chen Zhi suddenly said in a low voice.

"What?!" Huang Yin jumped up.

"How is this possible! A song like "The Painted Heart" that could be seen as a theme song by a major director would start in the millions, a direct gift? Fang Xiaole is brain dead, right?!"

"As I said, it's gossip and can't be accurate, but there is one piece of news that is true..."

Chen Zhi's demeanor became a bit more serious and continued.

"Xu Fei also wants to recruit Fang Xiaole, her manager is already on the move, Li Hao is not a simple person, I just can't guess what method he'll use."

Huang Yin's eyes lit up, "Then let's wait, if Xu Fei can successfully buy Fang Xiaole's song, can't we just follow her method?"

"That's all there is to it..." Chen Chi paused and reminded.

"I'll think of something else when I get rid of Fang Xiaole, your energy should still be focused on recording the Flower Show, it's your variety show debut, you must be a hit!"

At this moment, an urgent small meeting was taking place in the office of Yun Hai Terrace's Program Director.

There were only three people present, but all of them were top executives of Yun Hai Terrace, the kind of people whose words could decide the fate of countless employees.

One was the Director of the Program Department, named Luo Yu, and this one had the exact same level as Chen Zhao of Apple Channel.

Another was the deputy director, named Zheng Tiangao, who was on the same level as Zhang Zhiqin's uncle, Apple Channel's deputy director Li Xueke.

There was another, slightly lesser, who was the chief director of Flower Show, also a balding middle-aged man named Yin Jian.

"Yin Jian, what do you think of that show on Apple Channel?"

Program Director Luo Yu asked the head director, Yin Jian.

The assistant director, Zheng Tiangao, also sat silent and just stared at Yin Jian.

"Ahem."

Under the gaze of the two big men, Yin Jian was still slightly nervous and cleared his mind.

As soon as he finished recording the third phase of the Flower Show today, he was called to the office by Director Luo.

He thought it was just Luo Yu looking for him, but he didn't expect even the assistant director to be there.

Luo Yu brought him a program file called "Life of Longing" and said that it was a new Thursday ten o'clock program that Apple Channel was producing.

Yin Jian knew the station's intention to use the Flower Show to dominate the Thursday ten o'clock slot, and to be frank, the only real threat to Yun Hai Station was those two or three big stations.

Among them, the Apple station was undoubtedly the strongest rival.

Although Apple TV has never paid much attention to the Thursday slot, the other party has so quickly launched a new program this time, obviously seeing through Yun Hai TV's attempts.

Yin Jian was alarmed to see that the vice president of the station was alarmed, so he naturally knew the importance of the matter and quickly took a look at the information about this program.

After reading it, however, Yin Jian was reassured instead.

As the two leaders waited slightly anxiously, Yin Jian thought about it and finally came to a conclusion.

"This new show on the Apple Channel poses no threat to The Flower Show."
