Chapter 299 The Real Emperor of the Entertainment Industry

A Maybach business car, complete with a driver, looks like the standard for successful older people, right?
When these BUFFs are added together, it’s hard not to think too much.

Even Luo Yao's classmate Zhang Xue is no exception.

Zhang Xue was thinking about something in her mind at this moment, and then she immediately took out her cell phone and shared this big news in their dormitory QQ group.

[Hey, sisters! Guess what I saw when I was waiting for the car just now? Luo Yao got into a luxury car, and even had a driver! ]

[Really? Luo Yao doesn't seem to be from Shenzhen, right? When did she have such a background? ]

[I don't know. Anyway, she is often not in school on weekends. It is normal for some people to appear quiet on the surface but have fun behind the scenes.]

[Could it be her so-called boyfriend? Didn’t she date a boy at the beginning of her freshman year? I seem to have bumped into that guy before?]

[Didn't she say her boyfriend was from the same place? Did she blow it?]

[This happened in the first semester. In the second semester, there was no such movement. I guess she dumped him.]

【.】

During the first semester of his freshman year, Yang Xiao frequented the library of CUHK with Luo Yao.

However, during the second semester, Yang Xiao came less often.

Basically, he would just pick up Luo Yao and leave, rarely hanging around her campus.

However, when faced with other people's pursuit and confession of love, Luo Yao never gave anyone any chance and always firmly stated that she had a boyfriend.

In just a few minutes, a bunch of speculations began to arise in her plastic dormitory group.

This is so normal.

In fact, many times, girls are more malicious towards other girls!
As for boys, at most they will just fantasize about it in their minds, but there will be no actual harm.

Girls are different. When they spread rumors about each other, the destructive power is stronger than anything else!
It’s strange, Luo Yao is too outstanding.

The so-called not competing is the biggest competition. The less ostentatious she is in her daily life, the more likely she is to be envied by her peers.

why?
Because this kind of girls have a better reputation among boys!

This is where the bad reviews come from!

On the contrary, those beautiful, flamboyant and violent girls are not dared to be provoked by the same sex even if they are jealous.

That's because I'm really afraid of being punished!

After Luo Yao got in the car, she sat side by side with Yang Xiao.

The car slowly drove through the congested road and was about to pass the vehicle stop where Luo Yao had just stood.

Yang Xiao looked through the ink-black car window at the students outside who were all looking inside, and suddenly thought of this key point.

Yes
It's both a luxury car and a driver.

The key point is that at this point in time, under the watchful eyes of everyone, in front of the student group, it was too ostentatious!

Especially for an amateur beauty like Luo Yao, rumors might start flying around the next day.

After thinking about it, Yang Xiao put on a pair of sunglasses, slowly rolled down the car window, and looked at the group of students.

The group of students had been staring at the car intently, wanting to see who the "old man" was, but unfortunately the car had too good privacy and it was completely dark inside.

However, the car window suddenly rolled down at this time, which made them even more curious. Many of them stood on tiptoe and stretched their necks to see the true face of the "old man".

However, who would have thought that the person who stuck his head out was a boy who looked about the same age as them and was wearing sunglasses.

The first thing everyone saw was Luo Yao next to him, and it was obvious that they were a couple.

I was immediately disappointed!
The plot is actually different from what they imagined?
Some people looked at the boy and felt that he looked familiar.

Suddenly, the boy imitated the black car driver next to him and shouted:

"Nanshan District, Nanshan District, 15 yuan per person, do you want to go? Come on if you want to go! The car has air conditioning, and there are three seats left. Go when it's full!"

"Hahaha!"

"Are you driving a black car with a luxury car like this?"

"Are you stupid? You really believe it? He's obviously teasing me."

"This guy is such a joke!"

"Handsome, I want to go! Take me with you!"

"No, don't you think this guy looks familiar?"

"Yang Xiao! He is Yang Xiao!"

"Fuck! It's really Yang Xiao!"

"Boss Yang, me me me!!! Take me with you!!!"

"Mr. Yang, please give me an autograph!"

Some people recognized Yang Xiao at a glance and began to shout excitedly.

At the same time, some people were quick-witted and rushed to the car, ready to get in.

At this moment, four or five people rushed over.

As a result, Yang Xiao opened the car door and two men and one woman squeezed in instantly.

There were originally three boys, but this girl was too enthusiastic and insisted on squeezing in. The boy in front of her only felt his elbow touching a soft spot, and immediately felt embarrassed and gave the seat to the girl.

"Okay, the car is full! In order not to hinder traffic, I'm going to stop using my own car to make money today. I got 60 yuan! It's a great profit! I'm one step closer to the top of the rich list. Okay, bye everyone!"

Yang Xiao interacted with people at the car window, signed two names, and then let Song Hong go.

"Hahaha! Goodbye, President Yang!"

"Bye, Mr. Yang!"

"Boss Yang is awesome!"

"."

After Yang Xiao walked away, everyone started talking again.

"Is this girl Yang Xiao's girlfriend?"

"Didn't you just hear? Today is the day he drives to make money."

The person who said this was a boy, the same person who had previously been thinking about "using luxury cars as black cars".

Others looked at him as if he were a fool, thinking that this man was too stupid.

It's such an obvious relationship, yet you can't see it.

"I heard that Mr. Yang had a girlfriend in his senior year of high school. Could it be this girl?"

"One of my roommates is a die-hard fan of Mr. Yang and knows all about his life story. I'll ask him later."

Zhang Xue in the crowd was already stunned at this time.

It took me a long time to calm down.

Then she looked at the chat history on her phone screen.

[Damn, this is so exciting! The person who supports Luo Yao is not a middle-aged man, but a handsome guy of the same age! ]

[Rich second generation, right? ]

【.】

They were all malicious speculations, and then Zhang Xue typed on the keyboard again with mixed feelings.

[Sisters, this is outrageous. Do you know who this handsome guy is? ]

[Who? Is it from our department? ]

[Could it be Liu Feng? I heard he has been pursuing Luo Yao for a long time, and he is also a rich second generation! ]

[What's the big deal? It's Yang Xiao! A billionaire! ]

[Huh? What?!]

[No way?! Did you see it with your own eyes? ]

[It’s too exaggerated! Take a photo and see it! ]

[It’s Yang Xiao, no photos, he’s gone, I heard they seemed to have been dating for a long time! It seems they’ve been together since high school! ]

[Is it true? Is she so low-key? ]

[Damn, I’m so envious! ]

【What kind of fairy love is this! 】

【.】

the other side.

The car slowly drove into the downtown area.

Yang Xiao just used a clever method to stop the spread of this rumor in time.

However, it may also be a trouble for Luo Yao's future life.

But her daily troubles were broken by this, and this new trouble now became a protective umbrella.

Overall, the pros outweigh the cons!

In fact, the one who suffered the most was Yang Xiao.

Although this is not an official announcement, there is a "criminal record" on the Internet, and he also has a girlfriend!

Don’t mess around in the future!
The three fans in the car were trembling with fear and dared not speak.

As soon as we got in the car, we started to get close to each other with words of admiration like "Mr. Yang, I'm your fan", "Mr. Yang, I've liked you for a long time", "Mr. Yang, I want to work for your company after I graduate" and so on.

Then I was too shy to ask more questions. It was all normal.

It was only when Yang Xiao randomly picked a popular topic among young people that they began to feel reluctantly involved.

Most of Yang Xiao’s current fans are from this age group.

Otherwise, how can we say that he is the current youth idol?
During the chat, he did not shy away from showing an intimacy with Luo Yao that was different from ordinary people.

One of the boys couldn't help but ask:
"Boss Yang, is the girl next to you the stunning beauty whose profile you first exposed on the "Baopi Bar"? "

"Oh? You actually know this? It's been almost two years. It seems you are an old fan."

Yang Xiao was a little surprised. He didn't expect that Luo Yao was recognized.

"hey-hey."

Hearing this, the boy smiled embarrassedly. In fact, he had just secretly searched on his mobile phone and confirmed it once.

Another female fan in the car quickly asked for details, and then said with envy:

"Boss Yang, I really envy your love story, from high school to college. Can I gossip about it? Who is chasing who?"

“Hahaha, this is a long story.”

Regarding this issue, Yang Xiao explained some details of the incident to them.

The three of them felt honored to be witnesses of this story.

When we arrived in Nanshan District, it was time for dinner.

Yang Xiao invited them to have a meal together, and then they chatted about all sorts of things under the sun. Yang Xiao was so friendly that his impression of him soared again, and they became his die-hard fans!

As for the so-called "15 yuan fare", Yang Xiao did not confiscate it from them.

After all, this is an illegal operation, and he would not do such illegal things.

Just play a joke!

then
In the campus forum of CUHK, various discussion posts about Yang Xiao on that day showed traces of the fight between the three of them.

[What the hell is this about keeping a mistress? Which idiot would believe it? To tell you the truth, I was one of the people who rode in Mr. Yang’s car. He and that girl went to the same high school two years ago.]

[Photos? Go to their website to see the real person. I can only say that she is much prettier than Milk Tea Sister! ]

[What? She doesn't deserve it? You deserve it? They are childhood sweethearts, do they need a monster like you to oppose them? ]

[Is the girl marrying above her station? Mr. Yang said it himself. He was the one who pursued the girl. He even transferred to another school to pursue her. Do you know how affectionate Mr. Yang is? ]

[Come, show me your photo. Luo Yao is the most beautiful girl in the school. What kind of monster are you? ]

[People's feelings are not mixed with money and interests, like you? When you see a Red Bull can on a sports car, you rush to get in the car? ]

【.】

This little episode in Yang Xiao and Luo Yao's love affair did not cause much sensation.

There have been some discussions only in a small circle.

Yang Xiao is not a traffic star, and his fans are not the kind of mindless "one-fans" who would unfollow him because of his personal love affairs.

This incident became a good story among his "die-hard fans".

Many people praised him as a role model among men.

In addition, there are too many hot spots on the Internet nowadays, and this kind of thing will not cause any waves unless it is exploited by someone with ulterior motives.

Given Yang Xiao's status as an entrepreneur, it's hard for anyone to mess with him.

In addition, he has connections and channels on public opinion platforms such as Weibo and Tieba, so who can spread rumors about him?

This kind of thing is not as popular as controversial traffic like "Dong Ge's face blindness"!
This holiday, Yang Xiao and Luo Yao don't plan to go out and play.

There are too many people, there is no need to go out and join the crowd!

Just stay in Shenzhen and eat, drink and enjoy your own world.

The night of September 9th.

Yang Xiao was at home and turned on the TV.

Tonight is not only the beginning of the seven-day National Day celebration, it is also a special day.

Because this night is the final of the first season of "The Voice of China"!
Thanks to this program, Zhejiang Provincial Satellite TV brought the ratings for that night to the peak!
21 points.

Yang Xiao accompanied Luo Yao, sitting on the sofa, watching the championship battle on TV.

The famous singer Adam Lambert made an appearance at the finals.

This singer has top-notch singing skills and will be on the stage of "Singer" in 2024.

This "The Voice of China" is his first show in China.

At this time, he performed a song "Whataya Want From Me" on the spot, which livened up the atmosphere.

It even raised the level of "The Voice of China" a lot.

He also sang an English song with Zhang Wei, a contestant from Na Ying's group.

Luo Yao exclaimed at this time: "It's so beautiful, Adam's singing skills are so amazing."

Yang Xiao smiled and said, "Compared with the international top singers, the level of these mentors is probably a bit far behind him."

"Ah? Is the gap really that big? Can't someone like Liu Huan, who is on the national team, compare to him? And Wan Tong and Na Ying, they both won the Golden Melody Awards, can't compare to him?"

"Adam's singing skills are close to perfection, his mechanics are top-notch, and his musical aesthetics are also much better than his opponent's. There's nothing we can do about it."

Yang Xiao explained, "All I can say is that Chinese pop singers still need to keep catching up on the road of music."

Although Yang Xiao is currently trying to become a celebrity fan.

But his fan circle is not that toxic!

After "The Voice of China", there is also "I Am a Singer" on Mango TV. Currently, he is in charge of all the top music variety shows in China.

In other words, he really has a say in the entertainment industry now!
Yang Xiao has made up his mind to create more programs with "real content" to help the Chinese music scene discover some high-quality singers and try to catch up with the international market.

Selfishly speaking, he does not want the future of the Chinese music scene to be dominated by “Tik Tok divine songs” that take advantage of loopholes and are full of catchy songs.

These things really lower the musical aesthetics of the general public.

"Wu Mochou performed so well, she should be the champion, right?"

Halfway through the show, Luo Yao started discussing it with Yang Xiao with some interest.

"Not always."

"You know the champion?"

"I know, Liang Bo."

"It's been decided?"

"My guess"

"I do not believe!"

Luo Yao watched the show until the end. Seeing Liang Bo win the championship, she looked at Yang Xiao unhappily and said jokingly:

"Humph, it's confirmed. I'm going to post a message to tell everyone there's something fishy going on!"

"I really haven't been wronged. After the show started, we only discussed the ratings with Zhejiang TV once. Even Mr. Fan from Wanhe Tianyi didn't discuss this matter. As for whether there is an internal appointment, I don't know about it. Why don't you ask Sister Yue? She has been communicating with Mr. Xia and the others all the time. Maybe she can give you an answer."

"Forget it! I'm too lazy to ask. Anyway, I support Wu Mochou."

Yang Xiao also smiled helplessly. The main reason was that Wu Mochou had too many fans. Liang Bo's singing style was not that intense and his performance was not intuitive, which led to everyone not recognizing his strength.

Of course, except for the champion and runner-up.

There are some other consolation prizes.

For example, titles such as "The Blooming of Strength", "The Echo of Nature", and "The Power of Dreams", many of which were won by artists participating from Shiguang Culture Media.

"By the way, has Wu Mochou been signed by you?"

"Yes, they have signed. The agency contracts of Jike Junyi, Liang Bo, Ping An and others are all with Shiguang Culture Media."

"That's great. Next time I go to Sister Yue's place, I can take a photo with Wu Mochou."

At this time, most of the singers who debuted on "The Voice of China" were signed by Yang Xiao in advance.

They even started a "contract transfer" business.

Many grassroots singers who became famous because of one song on the show can make a lot of money by doing commercial performances afterwards.

For example, Ping An, Li Daye and others, a few cover songs can make them vomit!

At present, [Time Culture Media] has signed many singers. Although it has not yet signed top singers like Jay, it has covered 80% of the market in the entire mainland.

[Wanhe Tianyi] has a number of films in production and has also secured contracts with many actors.

Film and television and music, two fields are flourishing!
Yang Xiao is now the well-deserved emperor of the entertainment industry!

In other words, whoever he wants to promote will become famous!

In addition, the economy has been on an upward trend in recent years, which is a great time to make money in the entertainment industry, and the performing arts careers of artists are also booming!

This means that these two companies are simply crazy money-making machines!

According to Zhang Yue's estimation, Yang Xiao can get hundreds of millions in dividends from [Shiguang Culture Media] this year alone!
Even under Yang Xiao's instruction, [Time Culture Media] has begun signing some "exported" Korean stars, such as "EXO". This group of people are the real leek harvesters.

There's nothing we can do. If he doesn't do it, other entertainment companies are also doing it.

Even under his strict control, this fan culture has never become as morbid as it is in later generations after it became popular.

This can be considered as his contribution to the entertainment industry through Weibo.
