DAEYTT Chapter 47: Unexpectedly Becoming the Main Character.

Li Qingyao saw Wang Qian's figure on the big screen and was momentarily lost in thought.

Fans waiting for autographs behind her also curiously looked towards the big screen.

This song.

And Wang Qian!

Many of Li Qingyao’s fans had been following him, so they recognized him immediately.

Because he was Li Qingyao's biggest competitor on the new song chart this month.

Holding four of the top ten spots on the chart.

No one had done that in the last ten years.

They had all been informed about this and had specifically researched this rival of their idol.

"He's the boss of Haidilao, and Qian Qian Junzi is also doing an event here? Daring to do an event in front of Yao Yao, looking for trouble."

"Yao Yao, you're the best."

"That Qian Qian Junzi is just a hypocrite."

...

Naturally, Li Qingyao’s fans were biased towards her without any reason.

However, the passersby who were attracted over were more objective and rational.

"I also downloaded this song; it's really good."

"So it's Qian Qian Junzi. I wonder if I can get his autograph."

"Let's go inside and check it out."

...

Some people in the autograph queue left the line and headed towards the mall entrance.

Liu Lihua quickly came to Li Qingyao's side, seeing Li Qingyao still staring at Wang Qian on the big screen in a daze, with fans waiting behind. She blocked Li Qingyao from the fans and whispered, "Yao Yao, it's Zhao Lei's crew promoting their movie. Wang Qian's two songs are the movie's theme songs, so they came together for the promotion. Their producer just contacted me, saying they didn't mean to target us and apologizing..."

Li Qingyao came back to her senses, her beautiful face still calm, and nodded slightly, "It's okay, call them back and tell them there's no need to apologize. We didn't book this place exclusively; we’re not that overbearing. They do their thing, we do ours."

Liu Lihua: "Okay! The event will end in an hour, and the flight is booked. We’ll head to the airport directly afterward, and we should have time to rest at the program location."

Li Qingyao nodded, "Alright, you handle it."

Liu Lihua smiled, "It looks like Wang Qian also wants to compete for first place, but he doesn't have the resources. He can only piggyback on this small crew for some exposure, but it's a pity he can't compare to us! If he had signed with a big company early on, he might have been a threat. But now, it’s just like this."

Li Qingyao didn’t respond or pay attention to Liu Lihua, turning around to continue the autograph session.

However.

The queue for autographs continued to shrink.

Even after Wang Qian finished singing the song.

People around were still discussing Wang Qian, and many shoppers were still heading towards the mall.

...

Inside the mall, on the event stage.

Liu Jifeng looked at the dense crowd gathered below, stretching from the stage to the end, with people peering from the edges of the upstairs and downstairs stairways.

Compared to their previous events in other places, it was like night and day!

Liu Jifeng joked with Zhao Lei, "Director Zhao, if we had asked Wang Qian to help promote earlier, the effect might have been better."

Zhao Lei: "I invited him last time we were on the show, but he was busy and couldn’t come."

Liu Jifeng: "What a pity!"

He also hoped for higher box office sales for his movie. He thought about having Wang Qian promote it earlier, having Wang Qian sing a few songs at each event, which would surely have better promotional effects and possibly higher box office sales!

Higher box office sales would benefit everyone in the crew.

After singing "Ordinary Road," Wang Qian looked at the sea of heads below, feeling a sense of accomplishment, and waved, "Thank you all for coming to listen to my song."

A warm response erupted from below.

"Boss, it sounds great, sing another one!"

"Boss, sing another one..."

"Boss, a new song..."

"Boss, sing a new song!"

Among the crowd, dozens to hundreds of voices shouted, and then others around them followed suit, chanting together.

"Boss, sing another one!"

"Boss, sing another one..."

"Boss, sing another one..."

The thunderous roar gathered together.

The sound spread throughout the mall.

Wang Qian held the microphone, very satisfied with everyone's support, but today was the movie's promotional event, not his concert, so he couldn't keep singing indefinitely: "Thank you all for liking and supporting me, but..."

His voice paused.

Because Zhao Lei and Li He both made a gesture to him simultaneously.

Wang Qian smiled apologetically at the audience below, then quickly walked over to Zhao Lei and Li He: "Director Zhao, what's up?"

Zhao Lei looked at Wang Qian and said, "Wang Qian, you've given us a surprise. We've been to several cities across the country in the past few days, and this time in Shanghai with you, the effect is the best. Thank you."

Wang Qian smiled, "Director Zhao, you're too kind. I'm also part of the crew."

Zhao Lei said, "Technically, you've completed your task after singing these two songs. However, to make the movie successful, we hope you can interact with the audience more, attract more people, and then we’ll go on stage together to promote the movie for the best effect."

"What do you think? If you sing other songs, we can pay you!"

Zhao Lei said this formally.

Singing two purchased songs was expected.

But if they wanted Wang Qian to continue singing other songs to attract more people, it was fair to offer payment.

Wang Qian naturally couldn't accept payment now: "Director Zhao, no need for payment. I can sing two more of my songs."

Li He asked, "Wang Qian, do you have any new songs? I see online that people love your songs and are especially looking forward to your new ones. If you could perform a new song live, that would be great! When the movie is released, we'll compensate you accordingly."

Li He had been researching information about Wang Qian.

He hadn't expected that the biggest draw in the crew was the theme song singer he hadn't paid much attention to.

After thorough investigation and research, he found that Wang Qian was very prolific.

One new song after another.

He had released five new songs in half a month, each of which was very popular.

This made everyone eagerly anticipate his next song.

If...

Wang Qian released a new song here, and it became popular?

Not only would the live response be enthusiastic, but later discussions on various social platforms would also remind people of the movie.

This would be great for promotion.

Zhao Lei also looked at Wang Qian expectantly but said politely, "Wang Qian, don't feel pressured. If it's too much trouble, forget it!"

Wang Qian quickly thought about it.

The movie's low attention was beyond his expectation.

Zhao Lei was a nice person, and Wang Qian was willing to help if he could.

To break into the entertainment industry, building one's network was crucial.

Directors, standing high in the entertainment industry food chain, were second only to capital.

Moreover, singing a new song wouldn't just help promote the movie and attract attention.

It would also generate significant buzz for him, far more effective than performing in his own shop.

So.

After thinking for a moment.

Wang Qian agreed: "Sure!"

Zhao Lei smiled, very pleased: "That's great, thank you, Wang Qian."

Li He said solemnly, "Wang Qian, thank you for your contribution to the crew. We won't forget it."

Wang Qian said, "I'm just doing my best. Let me think for a moment!"

After a few seconds.

Wang Qian connected his phone to the backstage system and played one of the accompaniments stored on his phone.
