《Rebirth of the Entertainment Giant》Waiting
Advertisement
Zhang Xiaohua did not pay too much attention to this top-level title before.
Now that Wang Jingwen had become popular on the Internet and become the focus of netizens, it wouldn't be surprising if someone pretended to be her to create posts and earn some easy clicks.
However, Zhang Xiaohua still couldn't help but feel curious as he clicked on the title and immediately read the contents of the page.
[Hello, everyone! I'm Wang Jingwen, the original singer of the song "Broken Hearted Woman." I would like to make an announcement here. After a lapse of two years, Wang Jingwen has returned to the world of music and I am very happy to receive the attention of so many people today. Therefore, in order to thank everyone for their support, I purposely sent a few recent photos of myself, so I hope everyone will support me in the future. By the way, I would like to tell you a little secret. I'm going to release a new album and I can guarantee that every song in the album will be a classic!]
After reading the contents of this post, Zhang Xiaohua could not help but feel annoyed.
He could be sure that Wang Jingwen herself was the person who made this post and there were actual photos of her. She had even sent more than 30 recent photos, of which there were; plain photos, sexy photos, cute photos, and in-life photos. There were no traces of her previous shy and gentle image from the music video. It was obvious this post was meant to show off.
In fact, when it came to celebrity charm, it was very important to maintain a sense of mystery and a sense of distance. From the perspective of mass psychology, the harder it was to reach, the more valuable it would become. The more mysterious things were, the more people cared about it.
Take any influential singer, they always maintained a certain sense of mystery and distance between fans. This allowed fans to think, hum, and chant all the time, thus inspiring fans who wanted to become idols. The urgency of close contact did not allow those fans to get what they wanted.
Once the fans had an itch, they would go through anything to meet their idols, such as; buying their idol's songs, albums and related merchandise, or even spending a lot of money to see an idol at a live concert.

Mystery could not only maintain a fan's attention, but could also bring some commercial benefits.
If a celebrity appeared too frequently in front of their fans, such as holding out at a street event at any moment, or taking a selfie on the Internet, or frequently interacting with fans, this star would lose its mystery in the heart of their fans. With the loss of the sense of distance, the fans' interest in the star would reduce and the star would lose their appeal.
For an obvious reason, there was no difference between this style of work and self-destruction.
So now, in Zhang Xiaohua's opinion, Wang Jingwen's move was equal to suicide. She was a singer who had no common sense.
A little bit of fame and she began to scream about it, not even knowing how to maintain secrecy and announcing an album without permission. How could she become a major celebrity like this?
According to her behaviour, he was afraid that before she had even risen, she would already create obstacles in her own path.
Zhang Xiaohua immediately took out his cell phone and quickly dialled Wang Jingwen's phone number.
On the other side, as she saw the caller ID was Zhang Xiaohua's name, Wang Jingwen thought that he was specifically calling her with good news, but before she could even greet him, she had received a slap to the face:
"What are you doing on Post Bar? Who said you could interact with your fans so casually? You like to show off too much! You basically stripped for them! Did I give you permission to announce an album. Don't think I won't enforce the contract and sue you for breach of contract"
"Boss, I..."
"I don't need your nonsense. Quickly delete all the posts and photos for me and from now on, I don't want to see any more posts from you on any websites that haven't been reviewed by me. I definitely better not see any photos that you've personally uploaded. Or you'll see how quickly I will replace you."
After scolding and warning her, Zhang Xiaohua immediately ended the call without giving Wang Jingwen the opportunity to explain.
Of course, Zhang Xiaohua didn't even want an explanation. What he wanted was complete obedience.
If he allowed this to continue and all their own stars acted like Wang Jingwen in the future, then the consequences would be unthinkable.

Therefore, Zhang Xiaohua must set a rule. This rule was actually very simple. That is, regardless of what he says, they must obey.
Zhang Xiaohua held his hands to his chest, his anger was unbearable, as he stared at the computer screen, waiting for Wang Jingwen to act.
After a while, when Zhang Xiaohua had refreshed Wang Jingwen's Post Bar homepage again, he found that the top post had been deleted, and at the same time a new post with the same ID was added, which reads as follows:
[Excuse me, I just had a feverish mind and was posing as Miss Wang Jingwen and posted a bunch of photos. In fact, those photos were shot by Miss Wang Jingwen when she made her debut two years ago. I actually found them and took advantage of it and deceived everyone. I reflected on my actions and I feel ashamed! ]
"Wow what a scumbag"
"I knew it was fake, the real celebrities rarely ever come online."
"Dare to impersonate my goddess? Just go and die!"
"Scum of the earth."
"Scum of the earth+1"
"Scum of the earth+999"
Zhang Xiaohua couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and at the same time, he felt sleepy. So, he turned off his monitor and went to bed. He soon fell asleep and was destined to have a good dream tonight.
...
It was early the next morning.
The first thing Zhang Xiaohua did after waking up from his sleep, was reopening his computer and entering the homepage for QuoDou.com.
Taking a closer look, in the most prominent position, in the middle of the homepage of QuoDou.com, was the title of "Broken Hearted Woman". The video cover was beautified by the official website for them and was also impressively lined with red characters: QuoDuo recommends, HuaXiang New Artist's Release. Not to be missed!
Such a demeanour was indeed that of an industry leader. This would generate more traffic for them while promoting the song, and those advertisers would naturally flock to the site, which could only bring huge profits.
It was a fact that the video was to be on the homepage of QuoDuo.com for a long time. This was exactly what Zhang Xiaohua wanted.
The popularity of this video had already been sufficient. So far, the number of hits had exceeded 50 million. The applause from the reviews had also continued.
Next, Zhang Xiaohua really hoped that those record companies would see this video as this was his original intention.
In fact, Zhang Xiaohua wished that his company could have the ability to produce and distribute records. However, due to the company's small size and low registered capital, the company had no production ability or distribution power at all. Desperate for help, Zhang Xiaohua could only seek cooperation from record companies with a large size, but this was only for the present. He believed that one day, sooner or later, HuaXiang Entertainment would have the ability to produce and distribute their own records.
.......
It took them a week.
Nowadays, the song "Broken Hearted Woman" was not only popular on the Internet, but also in real life as it conquered the north and south of the country. Almost everyone was singing it, and it was also a very popular song in bars and nightclubs. The video was also transferred to a few major websites, which led to the birth of a new superstar. Wang Jingwen had successfully been promoted to become a popular singer. Even the major record companies and entertainment companies wished to sign her. However, as she was already chained to HuaXiang, the major companies would have to go to HuaXiang Entertainment to find the person in charge, in order to get her for advert appearances.
"Ring...Ring...Ring"
Early in the morning, a cell phone ringtone awakened Zhang Xiaohua from his dreams.
Seeing the call was from Yuan Datong, the spirit of Zhang Xiaohua was instantly aroused, and his mind immediately guessed that this call could only be a good thing.
Sure enough, just after pressing the answer key: "Xiaohua, you need to come to the company, now! There are already five record companies who have come to meet you. They really came! And they are all well-known record labels in the industry."
Zhang Xiaohua was on cloud nine at this moment, his plan finally came to fruition, quickly calming himself down, he said: "Let them wait, I need to eat my breakfast."
