Chapter 125: #125 - Chapter 125: Gambler's Desperate Bet

The next morning, Wen He and Cheng Yudie took a plane together to the show's recording location.

Gao Chongting stayed in Guangzhou to take care of Wen Ze, as well as Xiao Huang and Duo Duo.

He also took the opportunity to contact Wen's parents to prepare for legal procedures.

"Are you still nervous?" Cheng Yudie noticed that Wen He seemed a little restless.

His state was very similar to that of a very introverted person being called upon by the teacher to recite a text in public.

"A little…"

The stage was still a great test for Wen He.

Especially on this kind of variety show that had been heavily promoted.

It was easy to imagine that there would be many people present.

What's more, there were so many celebrity singers that he had only seen on TV before.

Wen He was an introverted and self-conscious person, and he felt much less pressure singing in places like barbecue stalls and open-air food stalls.

He would feel very uncomfortable on a carefully arranged, huge stage.

This was also why Wen He wanted to settle in Guangzhou instead of Shanghai; the prosperity of Shanghai made him feel a little constrained.

"Don't be nervous, it's okay, I'll be with you." Cheng Yudie tried to soothe Wen He's emotions.

"Yeah… I'll do my best."

Wen He took a deep breath, trying to calm his emotions as much as possible.

He couldn't let others laugh at him.

As soon as he got off the plane, Wen He saw an old acquaintance, the director of "The Coming One."

"Long time no see, haven't eaten yet?" The director walked over with a smile.

"Yeah, long time no see."

"I've booked a restaurant, let's chat while we eat."

Under the director's lead, they quickly arrived at a restaurant that wasn't very big.

He had reserved a private room, and the dishes were all ready, so they could start eating directly at the table.

There were no outsiders here, so there was nothing to be careful about when chatting.

"Your condition is much better than the last time I saw you." The director was somewhat gratified.

He vaguely remembered that when he signed the contract last time, Wen He was still very weak.

His face was very pale at that time, and he often coughed up blood.

The current Wen He looked no different from ordinary people, and there were obviously more smiles on his face.

"I used a more powerful special medicine, which can effectively curb the spread of the virus, and now I don't even cough."

"That's great, I was worried that you would be too sick to come."

"I won't easily break my promise, don't worry," he said.

"Of course I believe you, otherwise I wouldn't have signed a contract with you at that time."

During the chat, Wen He learned that the main itinerary this time was to shoot a promotional short film, and…

About Wen He's opening solo as a special guest!

Wen He, who was already nervous, couldn't hold it together when he heard this.

"No, no, no, director, I can't do it, how can I be the opening solo? Isn't this going to kill me?"

"Teacher Xue Zhiqian, Teacher Yang Mi, and Teacher Hua Chenyu are all on site."

"Any one of them is more qualified than me, they should be the opening show."

"Wouldn't I be showing off my inadequacy?…"

Wen He shook his head like a rattle drum.

Although he knew that this 15 million was not so easy to earn, it was a bit too difficult for him to be the opening solo of the show.

Wen He knew that he was very popular on the Internet now, but he felt that he still couldn't compare with seasoned musicians.

"Wen He, it seems that you are not very clear about your own positioning."

"Although the three mentors, Xue Zhiqian, are all your seniors, but in terms of songs alone, the three of them combined can't beat you."

"Do you know that your songs have a kind of magic?"

"It's no exaggeration to say that those three mentors can now be said to be your fans, and they listen to your new songs every day."

"For example, the song 'Sorrow' you released last night directly made the three of them cry."

Hearing the director's words, Wen He was stunned in place.

Obviously, the news that the director revealed was a bit beyond the scope for Wen He.

He never thought that his songs could have such strength.

But after calming down and thinking about it carefully…

All of these things of his were given by the system, not only could he reach the peak in the field of music, but also create pictures in people's minds.

This alone was something that normal singers could not compare to.

In other words, even if the world's top singers stood on the same stage with Wen He, he could have the strength to look down on everyone.

Wen He could question that he didn't have the strength, but he couldn't doubt that the system didn't have the strength.

That was an unknown product that was far above humans.

"Then… what should I do then?" Wen He asked.

"Nothing, it's very simple, say a few inspiring words during the promotional video, and during the solo show, we only ask you to sing a song, this song should be as related to youth and dreams as possible."

"Is it that simple?" Wen He was a little surprised.

"You've made this too complicated, even if you don't do anything during the solo show, you can just sing."

"Uh… what about the follow-up? Can I know what the follow-up situation is?"

After the director told him the specific content of the program,

And everything Wen He had to do…

Wen He looked at the director in disbelief.

According to the director, the entire program would be recorded for a total of fifteen episodes.

Among them, Wen He would appear very little.

Only at the beginning as publicity and a solo show to create gimmicks and attract popularity.

In the fourth episode, after the three different tracks have completed the basic formation, sing a song.

In the ninth episode, sing another song when the nine major brands are born.

In the fifteenth episode, Wen He will come out and sing another song during the final.

Throughout the entire program, fifteen episodes, Wen He would only appear in four episodes.

And he doesn't need to stay on site all the time, he only needs to appear in the episode when he wants to sing.

In other words…

Wen He can earn 15 million for about four songs!?

Isn't this money a little too easy to come by?

"To be honest, I'm actually under a lot of pressure here."

"Because this show actually started when I saw you gradually raising the Chinese music scene."

"After we discovered this trend, we planned to take advantage of your popularity to launch a music variety show."

"And the investors plan to take advantage of this popularity to create a virtual singer that rivals 'Hatsune Miku'."

"They named it [Hezi], and have already spent a lot of effort on it, and have invested a lot of money."

"I've seen that thing, to be honest, it can't be put on the table at all, but the cake in this area is too big, once it's done, there will be many directions for future development."

Speaking of this, the director paused.

He looked at Wen He in front of him, and was silent for a moment…

"The more a tree yearns for the sunlight at its top, the more its roots must sink into the dark earth below."

"I know that you are already in the terminal stage of cancer and are about to die."

"In terms of your popularity, you will become an incredibly shining superstar after your death, and your traffic will break the sky and reach an unbelievable level."

"And you shouldn't die behind the electronic screen, you should appear in the public eye, stand on the stage that attracts thousands of people, and enjoy the glory that you should have in the last time of your life."

"I vetoed that virtual singer, and put my reputation and all my wealth on you alone."

"We are not grasshoppers on the same rope, you have many stages to choose from, and I only have you to choose from."

"I am a gambler, using your death as a last resort to achieve my future success."

"Even so, if you choose me, no matter what kind of program you want to do in the future, I will do everything I can to help you complete it."
