After binding the entertainment system, she made countless top stars

Chapter 640 Advantages

After dinner, Lu Wantang reviewed the program materials from beginning to end to make sure there were no major issues with the details before handing the tablet back to Chang Yun.

"Oh, right." Chang Yun hesitated for a moment, but still decided to pass on the message, "Richard wants to invite you to watch the show live, and he said he's prepared a VIP seat for you."

As he spoke, he held up the number six, "He's asked six times already. I refused the first few times, saying you probably wouldn't come to Xizhou."

In the past, many people in the industry have extended invitations to Lu Wantang, whether it was for private gatherings, banquets, programs, or business activities.

Lu Wantang was too lazy to bother with it, so she handed it all over to Chang Yun to handle.

Richard had asked far too many times this time, and Chang Yun had repeatedly used the excuse that Lu Wantang might not come to Xizhou to avoid the question.

In reality, she had already arrived in Xizhou, and it was impossible to keep this news from everyone. Chang Yun didn't know what excuse to use to politely refuse.

"Inviting me to watch the show?" Lu Wantang asked back. "I don't think I've ever met him before. Is he also interested in composing and writing lyrics?"

Chang Yun shrugged: "Who knows?"

Lu Wantang thought for a moment and asked, "The VIP seats... shouldn't be in the middle or at the front of the audience, right?"

Chang Yun understood that she didn't want to appear on camera.

"Wait a moment, let me ask his assistant."

The other party replied in less than a minute.

"His assistant said that as Mr. Richard's distinguished guest, you can sit wherever you want... VIPs have private boxes, and if you don't want to appear on the show, you can sit in a private box."

"So? Are you going to say yes?"

"Promise."

Lu Wantang considered her recent schedule and decided that going to see a live show wouldn't have any impact.

"Should we inform Chen Yubai? He has already been taken to the recording location of the show by his agent. He is unfamiliar with the area, so the company has arranged a local assistant for him."

"Why would I notify him?" Lu Wantang joked. "To have him line up at the door to greet me?"

Chang Yun thought about the possible scenarios and laughed out loud: "If you want, it's not impossible. I think there are many people willing to do it."

It's not that people in the industry want to be sycophants.

Lu Wantang's titles, such as "Golden Lyricist and Composer," "Famous Screenwriter with Representative Works Since Debut," and "President of Tangxing Entertainment," are so dazzling that even being a sycophant is acceptable for the sake of having a chance to collaborate!

Lu Wantang waved her hand, stopping Chang Yun's daydreaming.

"No need to notify anyone else. I'm just going to watch the show. The fewer people who know, the better."

2 p.m.

The news that the two shows, "Voice of Xizhou" and "Xizhou Singer," are about to premiere overshadowed other topics on the trending search list.

The grudges and grievances between the two programs have been circulating wildly among netizens on three continents.

In comparison, the latter seems to have a greater advantage.

First, the ratings for "West Continent Singer" have been consistently high in recent years, and its popularity in West Continent has been rising steadily.

Secondly, the media had already reported that the popular singers that "Voice of the West" wanted to invite were repeatedly poached by another program, forcing the program team to invite singers who were not so famous to participate in the program.

Thirdly, according to rumors, "West Continent Singer" invited Qiao Xinyue from North Continent, Yan Sui from South Continent, and Chu Kong from East Continent to participate in the program. These three are all top singers from their respective continents, and the traffic they can bring is definitely more than enough.

Regardless of what people on other continents think, many on West Continent believe that "West Continent Singer" is absolutely guaranteed to win this time!

This lengthy analysis comes from the comments section below a Weibo poll on support rates.

Initially, the two shows were neck and neck in terms of popularity.

Occasionally, "Voice of the West" will gain the upper hand.

However, as similar analyses and comments become more frequent, more and more casual viewers become pessimistic about "Voice of the West".

After all, no matter how you look at it, most of these analyses are impartial and make a lot of sense.

Lu Wantang also casually browsed a few of them.

In summary, the reasons why "West Continent Singer" is superior are nothing more than these three points.

The first two points are true.

Even more need to be added

—As a 'veteran' program, 'West Continent Singer' has not changed its competition format, but it has kept up with the 'trend' and adopted the live broadcast and real-time data display format along with its rivals. For them, this is already a great innovation, and both new and old viewers will accept it.

It's worth noting that if the program doesn't make any changes, "Voice of the West" can still leverage its unprecedented live broadcast format for marketing purposes.

That won't work now.

As for the third point summarized in the comments section, it puzzled Lu Wantang.

"Did 'West Continent Singer' invite Yan Sui and Chu Kong? I don't remember them being on the show's guest list. Or will they join later in the program?"

"It must be a case of misinformation spreading."

Chang Yun said "should," but his tone was actually quite certain.

"Yan Sui's agent contacted me not long ago to ask if there was a chance for us to work together again. Not to mention Chu Kong, he's practically your fan now."

The news that Chen Yubai would participate in "Voice of Xizhou" had been circulating for a week.

Even a fool knows that Chen Yubai represents Tangxing Entertainment.

Yan Sui and Chu Kong wanted to collaborate with Tang Xing and Zi Gui, so why would they easily accept the invitation from "Singer"?

Unless that show involves giving away shares of the television station.

"As for Qiao Xinyue... I asked around before, and she originally didn't plan to participate in that program, but later, for some reason, she suddenly changed her mind. Maybe 'Singer' promised her a lot of benefits?"

"However, given her status and the large number of fans in Beizhou, she doesn't need to worry about us at all."

Even though Qiao Xinyue had lost to Fang Shuyao at a charity gala before.

After saying that, Chang Yun added in an uncertain tone:

“I think that even if ‘Singer’ were to invite singers from other continents, they would probably only invite Qiao Xinyue. If the response is not good, they might even find a way to eliminate her.”

"How so?" Lu Wantang asked, curious about how he came to this conclusion.

“Richard’s assistant told me,” Chang Yun said with a smile. “He’s quite an interesting guy. I added him as a friend.”

"He said that the director over there was quite stubborn and a bit prejudiced against Z people. He really disliked having 'outsiders' on the show. If it weren't for the show's investors' request, they probably wouldn't have even invited Qiao Xinyue."

Perhaps believing that singers from other continents could never be very popular in the West, the director always looked down on Richard's move.

"It seems that assistant really enjoys gossip," Lu Wantang said knowingly. "What's his attitude towards this matter?"

"Hmm... I guess he's just watching the show make a fool of himself! He probably shares Richard's opinion that if 'Singer' doesn't change its director, problems will inevitably arise sooner or later."

I just don't know if anything unexpected will happen in this season of the show.
