Chapter 30 Beauty Trap
Chapter 30 Beauty Trap
In addition to his impeccable singing skills, he also released two high-quality "original" new songs in a row.
While receiving praise from two big bosses, Eason Chan and Lam Tsai Cheung, even Vanness Yau, who has a cooperative relationship with Mak Ka, couldn't help but extend an olive branch to Fan Wumian.
The game ends here.
No matter how much the eldest son of the Mai family sings from now on, it almost doesn’t matter.
If this can force Fan Wumian to the second place, the signs of behind-the-scenes manipulation are too obvious.
Neither Eason Chan nor Lam Tsz-cheung would risk being ridiculed after the news gets out, just to earn a few insignificant favors from the Mak family.
Including reporter Feng Minglong, other reporters were like crazy, taking photos of Fan Wumian and recording key materials for their articles.
If you didn’t know, you would think that these reporters also received “writing fees” from Fan Wumian.
The audience was still immersed in the painful emotions brought about by "After I Leave", so when Mai Shuli came on stage and sang another song "If This Is Not Love", although he sang very well, the response was sparse.
It's totally incomparable to the lively scene when they sang "Dare to Love" before.
So much so that towards the end of the song, the eldest son of the Mai family seemed to be a little tired and was obviously absent-minded.
Miss Ran Ruoyu, who was in charge of reception, came to Boss Mai and whispered, "Uncle Cheng, Ali doesn't seem to be in a good condition."
Looking at this friend's precious daughter, Boss Mai sneered:
"I have already advised him not to embarrass himself again, but he was so persistent that even if he admitted defeat openly, I would still look up to him. He is indeed spoiled by his mother."
"He knew that the other person had a straight flush, but he had to go all in with three of a kind. Isn't he stupid?"
"I should have been more open and arranged for the two champions. Now, we have spent millions organizing this match, but it's all for someone else. Let's just think of it as charity. It's almost the end of the year, so it can help deduct a lot of taxes."
Boss Mai spoke in a nonchalant tone, and he really didn't take the expense seriously.
Looking back on the whole incident, it was mainly due to contestant No. 66 sitting in the audience being too outstanding. Even as Mai Shuli's father, Boss Mai felt that his son's loss was not unfair.
It's a pity that if Yu had known earlier that he should have taken out the two new songs that he bought at a high price, the effect might have been better. He didn't make the best use of the good resources.
No matter how good the cover is, people are already aesthetically fatigued and it lacks a sense of freshness.
In Boss Mai’s eyes, the market is big enough for two people to succeed together.
So she was no longer petty and didn't want to continue to force her son to the top.
To put it bluntly, it would be great to win the championship in this middle school singing competition, but if you don't win it, it doesn't really matter. After all, you can still release the record smoothly. At worst, you can just spend more money and smooth things over with the media. It's not too troublesome.
Having already heard that Mai Shuli's father was about to give up, Ran Ruoyu, who had been familiar with "Emotional Intelligence" since childhood, naturally would not ask any more questions, but only tried to comfort him indirectly:
"Actually, Ali performed quite well."
"Unfortunately, I lacked some luck today. Even the three judges were frightened by that guy named Fan. He was really unreasonable. But he actually refused to sign a contract with King Records and insisted on pursuing his dream of entering the entertainment industry. I'm afraid he will go astray."
"Ali keeps moving forward steadily. It's hard to say who will be more outstanding in the future."
If she hadn't been worried about being misunderstood by Boss Mai, Ms. Ran Ruoyu would have even wanted to bring up the story of "The Tortoise and the Hare" as an example. The main point is that Fan Wumian's direct rejection of Qiu Wenshan was indeed tantamount to seeking his own death.
After all, different trades are like different mountains, and very few people can be good at several things at the same time. After hearing this, Boss Mai smiled happily, patted Ran Ruoyu on the shoulder and said:
"If my son were half as smart as you, I wouldn't have to worry about anything. Please help my son when you have the chance. That kid is a little stupid, which really makes me worried."
Ran Ruoyu smiled happily and replied, "Uncle Cheng, I will."
The girl's parents brought in several investors and together they opened a satellite TV station in Hong Kong a few years ago. The business is doing well and they often come into contact with Boss Mai.
Unfortunately, Ran Ruoyu has three older brothers and sisters, so with the idea of marrying into a wealthy family, she had set her sights on Mai Shuli early on.
It's a pity that Master Mai was wholeheartedly pursuing Zuo Ziyan. This explains why when she met Fan Wumian, she wanted to help Fan Wumian and Zuo Ziyan to get together. The main reason was that she wanted to use the "beauty trap" to help herself deal with her competitors.
Although Ran Ruoyu admitted that Fan Wumian was more handsome, in this girl's eyes, neither his handsomeness nor his talent could compare to the attraction of "marrying into a wealthy family."
therefore.
Miss Ran Ruoyu, who has peach blossom eyes and the temperament of a "congenital widow", pretended to be happy and found Zuo Ziyan, and asked across the fence:
"Zi Yan, your school actually has such a talented and handsome guy. Why didn't you tell me about it before? Tell me the truth, are you planning to keep him to yourself?"
I heard her friend Ran Ruoyu praising Fan Wumian for his “brilliant talent”.
Before listening to the competition, it was hard for Zuo Xiaohua to imagine that these four words would be associated with Fan Wumian.
Even if she opened a column in the Huiwen Daily magazine to write novels, in her opinion, it was actually no big deal. Ever since martial arts novels became popular, the last thing Hong Kong lacked was novel writers.
But the song "Evening Breeze Blowing in My Heart" and the previous song "After I Left" really scared Zuo Ziyan.
At this moment, Mo Ming thought of what Fan Wumian said before the game: "Maybe it's because you have never really tried to understand me." Zuo Ziyan's mood instantly became complicated. Because of the song "After I Leave", Mo Ming even felt a little sorry for him.
Facing Ran Ruoyu's question, she shook her head and said:
"This is also the first time I heard him sing. I never knew Fan Wumian was so talented."
Ran Ruoyu made up a friend out of nothing and added:
"Just now a friend wanted to ask me for his contact information, but suddenly at first glance, you and him look like a perfect match. One is a pretty girl, the other is a handsome boy. Even if you walk on the street, people will praise you as a good match. If you are not interested, then I will ask him for my friend?"
One of Zuo Ziyan's best friends immediately said:
"Ruoyu, don't you know? That classmate Fan from our school has been pursuing Zi Yan for several years. It's useless to reject him many times. It seems that the two songs he just sang were written for Zi Yan! I almost cried when I heard them. I wish my boyfriend was as good as him. His tone-deaf and hoarse voice gives me a headache every time I go to a karaoke bar."
Zuo Ziyan was speechless:
"Ah Hui, you are such a gossip, stop talking nonsense."
Ran Ruoyu was overjoyed after hearing this, and then struck while the iron was hot, smiling with starry eyes:
"It's great to have a handsome guy who likes you so much. This is the dream of many girls. If it were me, I might try to date him. From the two songs just now, it seems that he really likes you. If you don't seize the opportunity, you might miss a good marriage."
A great assist from a stranger teammate.
Zuo Ziyan had no idea that the other party was planning something and didn't notice anything was wrong.
After listening to the two songs, she was touched and was considering whether she should lower her psychological defenses and take the initiative to contact Fan Wumian.
