Chapter 70 High School Reunion

  This week's best singer is actually a ranking list, and the admission rule is the heat of internet streaming and downloads. Generally, such lists are often occupied by some stars, and it is rare for newcomers to enter. Unless it is a new person who has been heavily promoted by the record company, this may be possible. But nobody knows. A civilian singer Zhou Yifan, who had no contract and no background, actually jumped to first place with two songs.

  Although this is just a weekly achievement, not a monthly or yearly one. But such records are already terrifying.

  Affected by this, Zhou Yifan and Zhou Yifan's two new songs were once again noticed by people, and the gap with the second place was opened again.

  Hon Hai Records

  "Useless thing."

  With a crash, a vase in the office shattered into pieces, and a middle-aged man in his forties was left with a face full of anger.

  "Director Wang, actually they have performed quite well already."

  A man in his thirties wearing black clothes standing by the side spoke cautiously.

  "Haha, not bad, if it's not bad, how can't even handle a little brat like you."

  Wang Haichuan was truly furious.

  As the CEO of Honghai Records, he has been making waves in recent years. In the past few years, under his strategy of horizontal and vertical integration, the Chinese Music Association has been marginalized. However, recently, he has felt a growing sense of unease. The Huaxia Original Music Network seems to be secretly plotting to prevent Honghai Records from dominating the market alone.

  "This..."

  The man in black was somewhat embarrassed and didn't know how to answer.

  He can talk, it's not that they're too bad, but is Zhou Yifan just too talented?

  Obviously, Wang Haichuan, who was on a high horse, couldn't listen to such words.

  "Director Wang, I think we should bring him into our Haiyin Records."

  "After some thought," said the man in black.

  "Do you think he will agree?"

  Wang Haichuan neither nodded nor shook his head.

  In his opinion, this Monday's ordinary singer is actually a red-hot star pushed out by Huaxia Original Network. They just want to use ordinary singers and grassroots singers to attract attention. If not, how could it be possible for such a talented ordinary singer to emerge? This is absolutely impossible. One popular song may have some grassroots capabilities, but another classic hit song is not something those grassroots can do.

  And judging from Zhou Yifan's re-recording of new songs, such professional recording, what ordinary singer can do.

  Such a stylish and distinctive recording, without more than a decade of experience in a recording studio, it's absolutely impossible to complete.

  The man in black seemed to have guessed Wang Haichuan's mind, and he explained, "Director Wang, although Zhou Yifan is likely to be a singer packaged by Huaxia Music Original Network, from various signs, it is possible that Zhou Yifan is indeed a grassroots artist. For example, he doesn't have his own music fan group, can't manage his popularity, and won't interact with fans. He just uploads songs and then disappears. These are all the obvious characteristics of a grassroots artist. I think Huaxia Music Original Network wouldn't waste their popularity like this."

  The man in black said a lot of suspicious phenomena, and then he continued to say, "Of course, no matter if Zhou Yi Fan is the original music network or not, I think, as long as we give out a big enough price, any star can be poached by us. Even, we can completely release signals that we have contacted Zhou Yi Fan and had a pleasant conversation."

  The release of this signal bomb may seem useless, but often, major record companies will get into trouble with some stars due to rumors circulating in the market. Or, stars will get into trouble with these record companies... It's not that one side is stupid, it's just that such news is beneficial to both parties involved. One party is the record company and the other is the contracted artist. If either party has a problem, their goal may be easily achieved.

  "Go ahead and try."

  This time, Wang Haichuan did not refuse.

  But then, in terms of how to contact Van Fan next Monday, Hai Sing Records was a bit at a loss.

  Because they found out he meowed, they couldn't find Zhou Yifan's contact information no matter what.

  No matter whether it's a mobile phone number, landline, QQ number or email address, Zhou Yifan left none.

  They kept digging post by post until they finally found a help-seeking post from a newcomer, Zhou Yi Fan, on the Huaxia Music Originals website from a month ago. This post brought joy to Foxconn Records and served as proof that Zhou Yi Fan was not a singer packaged by Huaxia Music Originals, but a true grassroots artist.

  Genius, indeed is genius.

  Foxconn Records' Golden Agent "Meng Chuyun" praised repeatedly.

  He just told Wang Haichuan that he wanted to sign Zhou Yifan, but in fact, it was just a strategy. However, after collecting all the information about Zhou Yifan, he couldn't help but admire his musical talent. It seems that if he signs him, he can really make him another popular star. In his heart, Meng Chuyun really had the intention of signing Zhou Yifan and cultivating him well.

  "Zhou Fan, you haven't been here for several days, the exam is approaching soon, last time you promised to attend the important exam."

  In the office, Fang Ruo Han called Zhou Fan over and reminded him repeatedly.

  Of course, Fang Ruo Han also wants to see Zhou Fan's true level from this exam.

  No, although before this, Zhou Fan's grades were terrible. But Fang Ruo Han couldn't understand how someone who could write characters so beautifully, even shocking Professor Wang Ming Yang, could have a total score of only over 170 points for five subjects? It was just that usually Zhou Fan didn't show off or reveal his true abilities, making it really hard to discover his real level.

  Taking advantage of the meeting, Fang Ruohan wanted to test the truth.

  "Gaokao, okay, I'll take it when the time comes."

  The college entrance examination is the most important exam in high school except for the high school entrance examination.

  If the exam is not passed, then the high school graduation certificate cannot be obtained. Although the high school graduation certificate actually has no use, for many people who can't even get into college, the high school graduation certificate still has some use. At least, some people can still take the high school graduation certificate to participate in adult re-education training and continue to receive education.

  However, seeing Zhou Fan's careless attitude, Fang Ruo Han stared at him and said, "You'd better not fail all your subjects, or you won't be able to face your parents."

  This beautiful teacher has gone to his parents again, Zhou Fan couldn't help but grit his teeth in anger. However, Fang Ruohan apparently knew what Zhou Fan was thinking, "Don't look at me, I didn't mention it to your parents, it was your father who called me this morning."

  "No way."

  Zhou Fan was taken aback, when would his own father ever call to care about his studies?

  However, recalling the last time Zhou Fan took 1.5 million and loudly told his parents that he would become a useful person in front of them, seeing his parents' tearful faces, Zhou Fan probably guessed something. Perhaps at that moment, they finally understood that their son was no longer like before, he had decided to turn over a new leaf and start anew as a good student.

  It's just as well to call Fang Ruo Han and ask about Zhou Fan's studies.

  However, Zhou Fan asked back, "This, Teacher Fang, why didn't my dad call the class teacher, why did he call you?"

  Generally speaking, if you want to ask questions, it's best to ask the head teacher.

  "This one, I'd rather ask your dad."

  Fang Ruo Han felt a bit awkward, actually she knew the reason.

  I remember that Zhou Fan's father had said before, he also looked for Zhou Fan's class teacher several times, who was Zhang Mei. However, every time he looked for Zhang Mei, she didn't give a good face to Zhou Fan's father. Even more, Zhang Mei directly said in front of Zhou Fan's father: "Such a son, you'd better take him back home and don't send him to school again to harm others."

  Which father would still dare to lose face again and ask that head teacher?

  "Oh..."

  Although Zhou Fan didn't know the reason, he saw Fang Ruo Han looking a bit embarrassed and roughly guessed it. In his memory, he seemed to recall that his father had come to school once before. At that time, however, Zhou Fan wouldn't have cared about such things; even when he saw his father, Zhou Da Yu, walking out of the school with a bright red face, he didn't have any other thoughts. Now thinking back, it's likely that Father Zhou was scolded by the class teacher... A hint of sadness arose in his heart - pitiful parents' hearts are all like this.

  It's okay, I've decided to be a good person from now on. Such an embarrassing scene that makes my parents so uncomfortable will never happen again.

  "Got it, Teacher Fang."

  There's something unpleasant in my heart, and Zhou Fan's mind is a bit confused. Probably guessing what Zhou Fan was thinking, Fang Ruo Han originally wanted to talk to Zhou Fan again about the new concept composition competition, but after thinking about it, he decided to talk about it later, "Hmm, you go back first. Don't think nonsense, the teacher believes in you, you can do it."

  Fang Ruo Han gave Zhou Fan a sweet smile, and for some reason, he felt that Zhou Fan was very spirited and enjoyable to talk to. From the first time they met, she had a good feeling about him. Unexpectedly, by some twist of fate, she became his language teacher. Perhaps in other people's eyes, Zhou Fan was just a troublemaker who didn't care about anything. But in Fang Ruo Han's eyes, she thought that such a student might one day have an epiphany and surpass those learning geniuses who seemed so dazzling at first glance.

  In the distance, Fang Ruohan had some expectations.

  "Thank you, Teacher Fang."

  Zhou Fan also smiled at Fang Ruohan and left the office.

  After a while, suddenly Class 7 teacher Zhang Mei and Grade 3 group leader Lai Junhua walked in.

  "Teacher Zhang, Director Lai, how did you come?"

  Fang Ruohan stood up and welcomed him.

  "Is that right, Xiaofang? I heard you got a spot in a new concept essay contest."

  "Yes, there is one, I have already reported it."

  Fang Ruohan nodded and said, "Yes, there is such a thing."

  "Oh no, Teacher Fang, how could you be so muddled? How could you give the quota to Zhou Fan? Isn't that a waste of resources?"

  Lai Junhua didn't say anything, but instead it was Zhang Mei, the head teacher of Class 7, who spoke up.

  "Well..."

  At this time, Fang Ruo Han finally understood what the two of them were trying to do by coming to her office.

  As an annual national essay competition, the New Concept Essay Competition has always been a major event in the country's literary scene. However, unlike the college entrance examination, not every school has a quota for participation, nor can anyone participate at will. Those who are eligible to participate in the New Concept Essay Competition, apart from schools that apply on their own initiative, are mostly invited by the organizers of the competition.

  Tianhua No. 2 Middle School is not a key middle school, but an ordinary high school, and does not have the qualification to participate in the New Concept Composition Competition.

  Until then, when Lai Junhua heard the news from the Education Bureau, he was shocked.

  No way, when did Erzhong have a quota?

  Originally, having a quota is a good thing, regardless of whether or not you win an award, being able to participate in the competition is already progress for Erzhong.

  But when they checked this classmate named Zhou Fan, and saw that his total score was only 170 points, their hearts sank.

  How could such students be sent up?

  Of course, even if there are some opinions about Zhou Fan. But the New Concept Composition Competition is not managed within their system, and these teachers do not have the right to ask who will be sent to participate. However, the school informed Lai Junhua that the director of the Tianhua Education Bureau was puzzled after reading it and asked why Zhou Fan was sent to participate in the competition.

  As soon as he said this, Lai Junhua immediately knew what was going on.
