Chapter 268 "Wukong"

While the two were talking, Tan Yue came over.

"Mr. Tan."

When Zhang Wenhua turned around, he saw Tan Yue first, his eyes lit up, and he quickly said hello.

He had appeared on "Tucao Conference" before, which helped him gain a lot of popularity. Compared with the top stars who have passed their peak period and have been replaced by a new generation of young and handsome men and are beginning to decline, Zhang Wenhua is still at his peak. For this kind of traffic artist who relies on traffic for a living, every extra day with a large traffic is a blessing. After all, most traffic artists are like meteors, flashing and fleeting. It was "Tucao Conference" that helped him win back a wave of old fans, and Zhang Wenhua was very grateful to Tan Yue.

In particular, Tan Yue also proposed a development direction for him to focus on singing and dancing. Zhang Wenhua was also slowly exploring it. The effect was not too great, but the feedback was good. This made Zhang Wenhua very excited and felt that he had found a potentially bright path.

Tan Yue smiled and nodded. At this time, the young man also turned around and saw Tan Yue. He was stunned for a moment, and then he was a little surprised and said, "Hello."

Tan Yue smiled and said, "Hello, thank you last time."

This young man was not someone else. He was the one who took the initiative to walk out of the elevator when Tan Yue took Tan Xin to the company last time and the elevator was overloaded.

Tan Xin also said that she should thank the person for helping her. Tan Yue was looking for her later, hoping to meet her, but he didn't expect to meet her again, and he felt a little regretful. This time it was a coincidence that they met here.

The young man scratched his head and said, "You're polite."

Although he didn't know who the handsome guy in front of him was, he should be a big shot from Zhang Wenhua's tone.

Zhang Wenhua looked at the two and smiled, "Do you know each other?"

Zhai Quan was stunned, and Tan Yue laughed and told him what happened in the elevator last time.

Zhang Wenhua thought that was the case, and then introduced the two to each other.

Zhai Quan's eyes widened when he heard Zhang Wenhua introduce Tan Yue. He really didn't expect that the handsome young man in front of him was the director Tan Yue, the current figure in the company.

He was ordered to take over the program department with the worst performance in the company. In just over a month, he produced "Happy Comedians" and led the entire program department. Yesterday, he specially held a news interview conference on "Happy Comedians". This is a treatment that the program department of Brilliant Entertainment Company has never had since its establishment.

The quality of the previous storefront "Time is Expected" was also okay, but it was not very good. Few media took the initiative to interview, and it was even more far away from the live interview.

During this period, Zhai Quan's ears were almost calloused just by hearing Tan Yue's name.

"Hello, Mr. Tan." Zhai Quan looked at Tan Yue and said respectfully.

Tan Yue smiled and nodded. From Zhang Wenhua, he also learned the identity of this short and thin young man.

His name is Zhai Quan. He was a trainee who entered the company at the same time as Zhang Wenhua. In the entertainment industry, large companies generally have two sources of signed artists. One is artists who sign contracts with campuses and the society, and the other is trainees trained by the company itself.

Although the development time of Brilliant Entertainment Company is not as long as those large companies, it has also trained several batches of trainees, and Zhang Wenhua and Zhai Quan are the earliest batch.

However, the fate of Zhang Wenhua and Zhai Quan is indeed very different. After the trainee period, Zhang Wenhua was strongly promoted by the company, and then soared to the top position in the Chinese entertainment industry, and became a first-line star on the public figure list. However, Zhai Quan has not even made a splash in the entertainment industry, and is unknown.

What makes Tan Yue a little strange is that according to Zhang Wenhua, Zhai Quan's performance and results when he was a trainee were better. Even if his appearance is far inferior to Zhang Wenhua, he should not be so bad.

However, Tan Yue did not ask, after all, he did not understand the situation and was not very familiar with it, so it was not appropriate to ask rashly.

After talking for a while, he thanked Zhai Quan again, and then Tan Yue and Zhang Wenhua said something, and then turned and left.

He met Xu Nuo and Momo who were standing at the elevator door, and walked into the elevator together. Many people came out to eat at lunch time, and other colleagues in the program department greeted Tan Yue when they saw him.

"Hello, Mr. Tan."

"Mr. Tan."

Tan Yue smiled and nodded in response, and when the elevator reached the first floor, he took Xu Nuo and Momo out.

After leaving the building, Tan Yue told Xu Nuo and Momo what had just happened.

"Do you know about the Tomorrow Youth Network Singer Competition?" Tan Yue remembered the competition mentioned in the conversation between Zhang Wenhua and Zhai Quan just now.

Xu Nuo nodded and said, "I've heard of it, but I don't know much about it."

Momo said, "Boss, I know a little about this. For singers and amateur singers of third-tier and below, the Tomorrow Youth Network Singer Competition can be said to be one of the most important competitions, because they are not qualified to participate in any competition with higher gold content."

"And because netizens are the judges, in order to avoid chaos and trouble, the number of participants is limited. For example, our company has five places, and I heard that many people in the music department are jealous, and the places are in great demand."

After listening to Momo's introduction to the Tomorrow Youth Network Singer Competition, Tan Yue had some understanding in his mind.

"Fatty, when you come back from dinner later, can you help me find out what happened to that person named Zhai Quan? I heard that he was also a trainee in the company before, and his grades were pretty good. How did he get to this level?" Tan Yue said.

There must be a reason why Zhai Quan is so down and out now. Although Tan Yue is grateful for his help last time, he also thinks that since he is in such a difficult situation now, it is okay to help him, but he needs to see what kind of person Zhai Quan is first.

Tan Yue thought that his character should not be bad, but he still needs to know more about him.

After dinner, Tan Yue took a nap for half an hour, and Xu Nuo came over.

"Old Tan, I have found out what you asked me to find out." Xu Nuo walked to Tan Yue's desk and crossed his legs.

Tan Yue looked at Xu Nuo's arrogant look, shook his head with a smile, took a sip from the teacup beside him, and said, "Okay, tell me what's going on."

For this kind of inquiry, it is right to find Xu Nuo. This guy has a bit of a frivolous personality and can talk to anyone. Maybe he can even drag people to drink a few bottles of wine in the evening.

Xu Nuo sat up straight and began to talk about the relevant information he had found out about Zhai Quan today.

"This Zhai Quan was one of the first trainees trained by the company, and he was in the same period as Zhang Wenhua. It is said that his performance was indeed good at the beginning, not worse than Zhang Wenhua, and the company also planned to promote him."

"Later, it seems that he had a girlfriend, who was also a trainee of our company. Later, this girl was favored by a rich second-generation man, and she broke up with Zhai Quan. This guy was probably a bit artistic at the time. People who are engaged in art like to get stuck in a dead end. Zhai Quan got stuck in a dead end and couldn't get out of it for a long time."

"The company trains trainees to make money. Zhai Quan is trapped in love every day. He smokes, drinks, and perms his hair. Many bad deeds have been spread. The company has persuaded him for a long time but it was useless. Later, it seems that the boss was alarmed."

Tan Yue was stunned after hearing what Xu Nuo said. He didn't know whether to say that Zhai Quan was a romantic or a stubborn person. . .

Tan Yue asked, "Then what? What did Mr. Chen say?"

Xu Nuo said, "No more news came out afterwards. It seems that no one cares about Zhai Quan anymore."

"Tsk, tsk, tsk," Xu Nuo paused and continued, "I also heard that Zhai Quan's voice was damaged because he smoked too much at that time, and his potential was exhausted. Later, he may have come to his senses and wanted to make a new debut. He found the music department. The music department tried to release two songs for him, but there was no response. Later, they gave up on him completely."

Tan Yue nodded and said, "It's okay. You go back first."

"Okay." Xu Nuo jumped off the chair and said.

After Xu Nuo left, Tan Yue sat behind the chair and thought about things.

Tan Yue was very happy to meet Zhai Quan today and to thank him in person, but another thing that interested him was the Tomorrow Youth Network Singer Competition mentioned by the two.

Tan Yue had more than just programs in his mind. There were too many things, but he was a person with limited energy after all, and he couldn't take care of all aspects. Tan Yue sometimes wondered, did he travel to this world just to live a new life for himself?

That's not the case. The longer the time goes, the more Tan Yue feels that it's not the case!

He spent almost half of his last life dealing with the entertainment industry. He didn't know about other industries, but he knew the entertainment industry very well. The cultural essence of thousands of years on the earth was brilliant and dazzling. Tan Yue was willing to be a bridge, a bridge between the two worlds.

Of course, if in this process, he can benefit himself more, it would be perfect.

Tan Yue has been thinking about how to make a plan to produce these works. Today, he met Zhai Quan, and he owed him a favor last time. He is also an artist of the company. It seems that he has good character, but his brain is a little bit sloppy.

Tan Yue turned on the computer and found Zhai Quan's related videos on the Internet.

Five minutes later, after listening to a few songs by Zhai Quan, Tan Yue frowned slightly. Zhai Quan's singing skills are good, but his voice is a little hoarse. Tan Yue estimated that it should be caused by smoking.

With his right hand supporting his chin, Tan Yue gently rubbed his chin back and forth with his thumb and index finger, thinking.

"This seems to be OK."

Tan Yue nodded.

He picked up his mobile phone, found Zhang Wenhua's number, and dialed it.

Soon, the call was connected, and Zhang Wenhua's voice came out, "Hello, Teacher Tan."

Tan Yue smiled and said, "Wenhua, it's me, do you have time now?"

Zhang Wenhua said, "Yes, Teacher Tan, if you have something to say, please tell me, I will definitely do what I can for you."

Tan Yue smiled and said, "Can you ask Zhai Quan to come to my place? I want to talk to him."

"Hey," Zhang Wenhua smiled and said, "This is really a coincidence, Zhai Quan is here with me now, I will take him to see you."

Tan Yue smiled and said, "Okay."

After hanging up the phone, Tan Yue took out a few sheets of white paper and began to write something on them.

At the same time, in Zhang Wenhua's office.

After hanging up the phone, Zhai Quan asked curiously: "Wenhua, is this Mr. Tan?"

Zhang Wenhua nodded and said: "Yes, it's Mr. Tan's call. He asked me to take you to his office."

Zhai Quan was stunned for a moment: "What's the matter?"

Zhang Wenhua smiled and said: "Don't think about it, it must be a good thing."

Zhang Wenhua now respects Tan Yue more and more, not only because of the "Tucao Conference" or Tan Yue's guidance, but also now and in the future.

To be honest, seeing that "Happy Comedian" is another show of the same level as "Tucao Conference", Zhang Wenhua is still very jealous. He hopes that if there is a chance, he can participate in "Happy Comedian".

However, "Happy Comedian" has only just filmed two episodes. It is still too immature. Zhang Wenhua is embarrassed to start so soon, but it is already in his plan. He will just wait for a while before putting it on the schedule.

Zhang Wenhua took Zhai Quan and headed to Tan Yue's office.

Zhai Quan walked behind, walking quickly in small steps, looking a little cautious.

In the past few years, although he has not been frozen by the company, the company has completely given up on him and given him almost zero resources, which is almost the same as snow hiding.

Except for Zhang Wenhua, he has almost never spoken to any second-tier or above artists in the company, not to mention that Tan Yue is still a senior executive of the company and a man of the moment.

Zhang Wenhua looked at Zhai Quan, who was a little nervous, and said with relief: "Zhai Quan, don't be nervous. Mr. Tan is a very nice person and never puts on airs. And didn't you help him before? Let me tell you, you are definitely I’ve made a lot of money, and a thigh thicker than my waist appears, you must hug it!”

Zhai Quan grinned, nodded and said, "Okay!"

After working hard at the bottom for so many years, society has long taught him how to behave, and the stubborn and youthful energy in his body has long since been worn away.

The two took the elevator to the fifty-ninth floor, got out of the elevator, and went directly to Tan Yue's office.

As the director of the program department, Tan Yue's office is also the largest on this floor, located at the end of the corridor.

Arriving at Tan Yue's office, Zhang Wenhua knocked on the door. After hearing a voice inviting him in, he pushed the door open and walked in with Zhai Quan.

In the office, the windows were bright and clean, and Tan Yue was writing something on a brown desk.

"Teacher Tan."

"Mr. Tan."

Zhang Wenhua and Zhai Quan greeted Tan Yue.

Tan Yue put down his pen when he heard the sound, looked up at the two of them, stood up and said with a smile: "Come, sit here, let's talk slowly."

Tan Yue took the piece of paper and led Zhang Wenhua and Zhai Quan to sit on the white sofas on both sides of the coffee table.

There was hot water on the coffee table, but Tan Yue didn't let the two of them do anything. He picked up the teapot and poured water for them.

Zhang Wenhua is one of the top celebrities in the current entertainment industry and one of the few first-line stars. Although Tan Yue is a senior executive in the company, Zhang Wenhua must be given due respect. In his previous life, Tan Yue had seen people train A-list celebrities as if they were their sons, but those kind of people were absolutely rare. They had to be the founders of top entertainment companies, and they had personally brought many artists to A-list positions. Shang. Tan Yue naturally does not have this status now.

Tan Yue also had a good impression of Zhai Quan. Although he was not good-looking, he took the initiative to get out of the elevator that time to prevent the elevator from being overweight, so that Tan Yue, who was holding Tan Xin, could go down in the elevator. This also shows that he has a good character.

"I heard you talk about the Tomorrow Youth Online Singer Competition this morning?" Tan Yue looked at the two of them and said straight to the point.

Zhang Wenhua nodded and said: "Yes, Teacher Tan, the Tomorrow Youth Online Singer Competition is quite valuable. I plan to fight for a spot for Zhai Quan to participate in the competition, but this guy himself gave up first."

Zhang Wenhua shook his head speechlessly.

Tan Yue raised his eyebrows, looked at Zhai Quan, and said, "Zhai Quan, why don't you want to participate in this competition? Do you not like it?"

Zhai Quan said with some embarrassment: "Mr. Tan, it's not that I don't want to participate, but generally you have to be in the top ten to be considered successful and effective. After that, you are basically a companion. Others. The songs released by the contestants are either carefully prepared or purchased by the company with huge sums of money. I will definitely not be able to compare with them. The rankings may be very poor when the time comes, so I don’t want to waste the spot that Wenhua fought for me.”

Tan Yue smiled softly. Unexpectedly, Zhai Quan was quite shy. "You don't need to think about the song issue for now. I just want to ask you if you are willing to participate in the Tomorrow Youth Online Singer Competition?"

Zhai Quan hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said, "I think so."

Tan Yue smiled and said, "Okay, I have a song here. Let's go to the recording studio to try it out later and see if you can sing it."

Zhang Wenhua and Zhai Quan were stunned. They didn't expect that Tan Yue actually wrote a song.

Tan Yue handed over the score he had just written. Zhai Quan reached out and took it, looking at the paper with unresponsive eyes.

At the top, the name of the song is written - "Wukong".
