Chapter 176: Who Dares to Touch My Pooper Scooper?

Yuan Hewen's suggestion caught everyone in the private room by surprise.

Wang Shisong first looked puzzled, but then his mind began to race.

As mentioned before, as one of the main shareholders of Cilong, Yuan Hewen considered problems similarly to Wang Shisong; both stood from the company's perspective and viewed issues through the lens of capital.

Zhao Xueqin and Huang Xishan felt the proposal was inconceivable upon hearing it, but Wang Shisong found it somewhat interesting.

Admittedly, from the current perspective, the relationship between Xu Chujing and Luo Mo is relatively friendly.

When the two participated in "Creating Idols," they collaborated on a duet version of "Red Actor."

Then, after the show ended, Xu Chujing also promoted Luo Mo many times, reposting and liking several of Luo Mo's new songs on Weibo.

Looking at these things, it feels quite like a spin-off of "Creating Idols."

It counts as follow-up interaction between a celebrity mentor and a Top Traffic trainee.

This is not considered strange in the entertainment industry; after all, Luo Mo is Top Traffic, and everyone can drive traffic for each other, engaging in traffic interaction through bundled relationships.

It is not hard to notice that many celebrities in variety shows also interact frequently outside the show. Some have genuinely good relationships, while others do it for work.

The people in the private room did not know what further collaborations Luo Mo and Xu Chujing had.

The trailer for "Cat Demon" had not even been released yet, and they planned to use Luo Mo as a surprise for promotion; even Qian Qingyun, a great director in the film circle, was kept in the dark, let alone them.

The song "A Carefree Life" would also only be released after the movie was officially scheduled, and it had not been promoted yet.

As for the fact that Luo Mo had already invited Xu Chujing, the outside world was even more ignorant.

In Wang Shisong's view, are there true feelings in the entertainment industry?

There certainly are some.

But are there many?

That, naturally, is not many.

This circle, or rather this world, is often driven by interests first.

If the relationship is deep, then you have to pay more!

"If we can really invite Xu Chujing..." Wang Shisong felt this would be a huge blow to Luo Mo!

This is not just a question of winning or losing; as Yuan Hewen said, the point lies in the subsequent guidance of public opinion.

As a top diva, Xu Chujing's strength is naturally beyond doubt.

At the same time, she has had an excellent reputation since her debut and is a recognized female star with artistic integrity.

A superstar with a sterling reputation, who is also your mentor, stands openly on the opposite side of you and crushes you on a competitive stage...

Then, is there something wrong with you, the former trainee?

In short, one can rely on Xu Chujing's reputation and the past relationship between the two to make an issue of it!

As long as the money is there, gossip columns dare to write anything and fabricate anything.

The words of intimate people are often the most capable of driving a person into a place of no return.

Like when someone in the entertainment industry gets a divorce, if the ex-wife stands up and openly accuses them, the public opinion guidance is often terrifyingly fierce.

There are plenty of male stars in the circle who have been silenced for many years by their ex-wives.

The mentor-student relationship certainly hasn't reached that point, but it can definitely be made into a big issue.

"Brilliant! This move by Yuan is brilliant!" Wang Shisong became more excited the more he thought about it, speaking up while emboldened by the alcohol.

"It's just that the difficulty of executing it will be very high." Wang Shisong tapped his fingertips on the table.

At Xu Chujing's level, it is already very difficult to be moved.

Just asking her to participate in "King of Love Songs" would be very difficult.

Going to "Creating Idols," she was the National Producer Representative, she was a mentor.

Coming to "King of Love Songs," although it is to help sing, it is also equivalent to coming as a contestant.

The status involved here is completely different.

Why should a mere variety show make a top diva condescend?

Yes, it is condescending.

This is a figure standing at the pinnacle of female singers; does she still need to prove herself through a competition?

Just like on Earth, many singers with status have publicly stated in front of the media that they would not go to those singer-competition variety shows.

It is precisely because of this that when she agreed to Luo Mo's invitation, Luo Mo was shocked; he had originally just wanted to try.

A doubt even emerged in his heart: "This woman seems unable to refuse my requests."

Secondly, the relationship between Xu Chujing and Luo Mo is currently solid enough, and the outside world also feels that their mentor-student interaction is quite positive.

To ask her to personally break this relationship and get involved in a vortex of public opinion, how much benefit would one have to offer?

Wang Shisong had no ideas for a moment.

Yuan Hewen only said: "Where there's a will, there's a way!"

Anyway, he didn't need to do the operating; he was just offering an opinion.

Wang Shisong thought for a while and finally felt it was better to start from the film aspect.

As mentioned before, among the four major companies, Pineapple is the weakest in the music scene and made its fortune through film and television.

Xu Chujing is now clearly trying to be a triple threat in film, television, and music, and has just stepped into the film circle.

This is a good opportunity.

What Pineapple lacks the least is resources in film and television.

He could even use his connections to increase the screening slots for the movie "Cat Demon" in major theater chains!

At the same time, Pineapple TV could also conduct promotion, and could also... buy the online streaming rights for "Cat Demon" after it leaves theaters!

"In any case, let's go talk about it first?" Wang Shisong thought to himself.

If he couldn't invite Xu Chujing, then he would go and invite Xu Lianying from Cilong!

Zhao Xueqin and Huang Xishan, sitting to the side, exchanged a glance, their eyes complex.

Neither of them had expected that the situation would suddenly develop like this.

But the heavy stone in their hearts had finally been set down.

"Even without Xu Chujing, having Xu Lianying is more than enough!" Heavenly King Zhao thought to himself.

……..

……..

On the other side, Luo Mo was also considering the issue of the Guest Singer.

It was for the guest singing for Chen Shanqi and Sun Yi.

After some discussion among everyone, it was finally decided to select from within Xinyu.

After all, the company's foundation was there; even if you tried hard to put on a show or compete for status, you likely wouldn't be able to beat Pineapple.

Only Luo Mo could have miraculously invited Xu Chujing; this news left even Shen Shaoqiu stunned, thinking, why doesn't this young man just fly to the heavens?

Since that was the case, there was no need to consider the spectacle, only the maximization of benefits.

"King of Love Songs" was too popular, and the Semi-finals would surely be even more explosive; after all, with Xu Chujing personally participating, Pineapple would definitely invite a big-name star as well.

With such massive exposure, we naturally have to arrange for other Singers in the company to soak up some of the heat!

In this way, Xinyu would effectively have five Singers on the stage of "King of Love Songs" all at once.

——Amazing!

Luo Mo made the final decision directly, not forgetting his own protégé, saying: "Tong Shu must be counted as one."

Shen Shaoqiu had no objections.

Tong Shu currently had great momentum, and his Singing skills were top-tier, with infinite potential.

It was perfect to have him partner with Sun Yi; in any case, both were signed to Luo Mo Studio.

As for Chen Shanqi, Luo Mo suggested picking a female Singer.

Everyone had no objections to this either; after all, the songs would be written by Luo Mo, and whether it would be a female-female collaboration or a male-female duet depended on what kind of song he wrote.

Since there was still some time before the Semi-finals, there was still time to think about it.

What was important now was to get the fifth episode done well first.

When Luo Mo walked out of Shen Shaoqiu's office, his phone chimed.

He took his phone out of his pocket and looked; it was a WeChat message from Xu Chujing.

"Pineapple has invited me to be a Guest Singer for the Semi-finals of 'King of Love Songs'," she said, getting straight to the point.

Luo Mo looked at this message, his eyes narrowing slightly.

"They sure have a lot of underhanded tricks," he couldn't help but mutter.

How could he not understand the sinister cunning behind this?

He smiled and replied to Xu Chujing on WeChat, saying: "So what does Jing think?"

Xu Chujing replied: "Nothing to talk about."

To be honest, the conditions offered by Pineapple were very good, very tempting.

And these were only the initial conditions; they certainly weren't Pineapple's bottom line, and there was room to negotiate and grind slowly.

When the people at Xu Chujing Studio received this, their eyes lit up.

But when they went to find Xu Chujing to discuss the matter, Jing signaled them impatiently to reject it and not to leave any hope.

As a well-known powerhouse woman in the industry, how could she not know what Pineapple was really after?

What they wanted wasn't just as simple as winning the Semi-finals.

This caused an inexplicable fire to rise in her heart.

She thought of the scene on the stage of the "Creating Idols" grand finale, where that young man turned around amidst the falling gold dust and walked off the stage all alone.

For some reason, her heart fluttered at that moment.

Luo Mo looked at Xu Chujing's reply and thought to himself: "Still as domineering as ever."

Not to mention, it was strangely reassuring.

But Luo Mo was also very clear that this was a huge favor.

"Hard to repay," Luo Mo thought.

He was not a person who liked to owe others.

In the end, Xu Chujing didn't say much more, nor did she mention how much profit or how many resources she had rejected. There was no need to seek credit for this; it would only bring psychological pressure and burden to this man.

She only said: "Prepare the duet song well; my Requirement will be very high."

"For the Semi-finals, I don't just want to win," she typed.

Winning is not enough.

It has to be won beautifully!

Luo Mo smiled and joked: "Command!"

After ending the conversation with Luo Mo, Xu Chujing leaned her body against the back of the chair, her eyelids drooping slightly, thinking about something.

After a while, she picked up her phone and called the employee in charge of publicity at the studio.

"Tingting, come to my office," Heavenly King Xu said.

Not long after, Tingting arrived at the office and said: "Jing."

Xu Chujing nodded and said: "Go handle a matter; get a few press releases, and contact some media outlets and marketing accounts... um, don't look for the big ones, focus on those that deal in gossip."

"After the Live Broadcast of the fifth episode of 'King of Love Songs' ends, release the news, saying that Pineapple sent me an invitation to be a Guest Singer."

"Ah?" Tingting was stunned.

"Just do as I say," Xu Chujing had her own considerations in mind.

"Alright, Jing." Tingting said immediately.

After the staff member left, Xu Chujing said softly: "Pineapple Entertainment..."

It had been several months, and their targeting of Luo Mo had never stopped.

"Fine, if you want to engage in a battle of wits, then let's battle." The Heavenly Queen said in her heart.
