In the office.
Even though Wu Ling had just criticized Manager Wang, he unexpectedly knocked on the door and came in again very soon after.
When Wu Ling saw Manager Wang’s useless face, her face immediately darkened. The expression on her face seemed to say, ‘Why are you still here instead of going out to properly supervise those songwriters?’
This time, however, Manager Wang did not back down. Instead, he walked over with a smile. “Mrs. Wu, we’ve found a song that can be used in the Spring Festival Gala.”
When Wu Ling heard this, her expression immediately softened. She said in surprise, “So soon? Are you sure the Spring Festival Gala director has agreed?”
Manager Wang immediately puffed out his chest. He had finally done something right today. He hurriedly handed a contract to Wu Ling.
“This is the copyright to the song that our company has just signed for. This song has already been selected for use in the Spring Festival Gala.”
Wu Ling picked it up and took a look. She raised her eyebrows. The title of the song was “Hope”.
However, when she saw who the composer was, Wu Ling’s eyes widened and her hands clenched into fists.
She felt her breath catch in her throat. Her mind was telling her that it was impossible. How could it have been arranged by Fang Mo’er?
However, Fang Mo’er’s name was clearly written on it.
“Did she really write this?” Wu Ling’s voice was tense.
She had not expected to have to buy the rights to the song from Fang Mo’er in her lifetime.
Manager Wang smiled and said, “I don’t know if she wrote it herself, but this song has her signature.”
Manager Wang was also very surprised. How could Fang Mo’er have written such a good song in such a short period of time when she was so busy?
After thinking about it for a while, she felt that it might be a song that she had bought over.
Regardless, this song belonged to Fang Mo’er. The only way to get it was to buy it from her.
Wu Ling’s expression turned cold. She would rather believe that it was a song that Fang Mo’er had bought. “It’s good that you managed to find the song.”
She did not care whether it was written by Fang Mo’er or not.
As long as the company’s artistes were able to appear in the Spring Festival Gala, ultimately, whichever entertainment company had more people in the Spring Festival Gala would be crowned as the entertainment company with the most potential.
Star Dream Era would be recruiting next year, and when they met other artistes from other companies, they would be able to hold their heads up high.
In order to win against the other two entertainment companies, Wu Ling was very willing to spend money this time.
Wu Ling finally smiled faintly to Manager Wang. “You’ve done well. Continue to work hard.”
Manager Wang immediately beamed and quickly brought out another contract. “There’s also this contract. I need you to sign it.”
Wu Ling picked it up and looked at it. It was a notice for her artiste, Lang Qi.
Wu Ling was very surprised. “Just let the manager handle it…”
However, when she opened it and saw that Lang Qi would be joining Fang Mo’er’s production team, she was stunned.
It was no wonder that Manager Wang wanted to ask her for authorization. It was because of this.
She had previously given the order that none of their popular artistes would be allowed to participate in the production. Had Manager Wang become stupid now? He had actually given her this to sign.
Seeing that Wu Ling was no longer smiling, Manager Wang suddenly had a bad feeling. He hurriedly explained the cause and effect.
“President Wu, Lang Qi will only be playing a small role in the show. At most, he will be done in half a month. This way, we won’t be at a disadvantage. At the very least, we will have an opportunity to appear in the Spring Festival Gala and allow the company’s A-list singers to appear on stage!”
Manager Wang was already nervously sweating. He was afraid that Wu Ling would fly into a rage and vent her anger on him right now.
However, at that time, if he had not agreed to Fang Mo’er’s request, Fang Mo’er would have dared to sell the singing rights to another company in the blink of an eye.
Manager Wang had to make the decision first.
Sure enough, Wu Ling was about to fly into a rage again.
After listening to Manager Wang’s explanation, Wu Ling could only feel a sense of frustration in her heart. She looked at the contract for the Spring Festival Gala song on the left before looking at the contract for Lang Qi’s small role on the right.
She gritted her teeth and let out a breath. Then, Wu Ling said, “Forget it, I’ll sign it. The Spring Festival Gala is more important.”
This matter with Fang Mo’er had to be put aside.
Manager Wang was right. Lang Qi was only playing a small role in Hua Mulan. He would be playing the role of the deputy general by the general’s side. He would just be the comedic sidekick. At most, he would just waste half a month.
With this thought in mind, Wu Ling picked up the pen and signed the contract.
Manager Wang immediately breathed a sigh of relief, finally feeling completely relaxed.
Wu Ling still did not feel very comfortable in her heart. In the end, she said sternly, “We still have to continue to look for other programs that can make it into the Spring Festival Gala. Don’t relax yet.”
Manager Wang nodded, bowed, and retreated.. However, when he touched his forehead, he found that his hand was covered with cold sweat again.
