"All right." Having gained Li Changlin’s nod of approval, Wang Yiyi placed the sheet of paper on the conference table, looked down at it a couple of times, then started to sing softly.
Seas stretch far and wide, youth is a bird soaring into the sky.
Wings fluttering in the spring breeze, taste the flavor of flight.
Set a goal for yourself, let life burn for it.
When crossing the rainbow, share your pride with each other.
The dream in your heart, shining bright.
The verdant years, in their prime.
Embrace today, search for the future.
Our flight will make the world, more beautiful and better.
When the song ended, the room fell silent, everyone spellbound by the performance.
Even Li Changlin, who composed the song, was thoroughly moved by Wang Yiyi’s voice.
Sounds beautiful, she really sings beautifully!
His heart swelled with abnormal exhilaration.
Honestly, even Li Changlin himself, who had learned the song, could not sing with the atmosphere that Wang Yiyi brought.
"Mr. Li, I’ve finished singing." Wang Yiyi was very nervous, thinking she had not performed well since everyone remained silent!
"Good, you sang so wonderfully!" Wang Yiyi’s voice brought Li Changlin back to his senses.
He stood up to applaud and cheer. After Wang Yiyi had sung the song, he feared that even if he sang it again, he couldn’t surpass her.
So beautiful, she sang so well, Li Changlin couldn’t help but admire!
"Sounds beautiful, it really does."
"Truly wonderful, she could almost rival our Changlin."
"Not bad, not bad, it seems Changlin, your judgment is quite exceptional!"
Li Changlin’s applause finally woke the rest of them.
Following that, everyone clapped generously.
"Mr. Li, what is the name of this song, and shouldn’t we hurry to apply for the copyright matters?" Feng Yongrui was the first to come to his senses.
"Yes, we can just apply in the company’s name." Li Changlin nodded, then suddenly remembered something, "No, we can use the company’s name to apply for the copyright, but for the time being, let’s list the songwriter as Divine Melody Envoy."
"Divine Melody Envoy?" Everyone was a bit stunned, then Feng Yongrui asked with confusion, "Mr. Li, why choose such a stage name, can’t we use your real name?"
"Of course not." Li Changlin waved his hand lightly, "I plan to release an album under this stage name, and I’ll need President Feng to arrange that for me. However, I will not make a public appearance, and the company must not mention my name in any promotions."
"No public appearance, and can’t mention your name, Mr. Li, this will make promotion somewhat difficult!" Feng Yongrui found Li Changlin’s request unprecedented and was inwardly distressed.
Honestly, if Li Changlin wasn’t his boss, he would have had a hard time holding back from criticizing him outright.
Promotion isn’t easy nowadays, especially since Li Changlin is not a well-known figure in the music industry.
"Don’t worry, President Feng, you can actually use this as a gimmick." Li Changlin had planned for this and said with a faint smile, "The company is currently dealing with a lawsuit, right? You can use this to host a press conference. At the press conference, blow the news about this up. Of course, I’ll record one or two songs separately for the promotion of the press conference. Additionally, there’s the matter of Wang Yiyi. Yiyi, do you still have reservations about me arranging for you to audition for Xuanyuan’s ’The Voice’?"
Speaking, Li Changlin smiled with amusement.
This was mainly because everyone had witnessed Wang Yiyi’s embarrassing moment earlier and knew she felt wronged, so Li Changlin was just making a lighthearted joke.
"I’m sorry, Mr. Li, I was mistaken." Wang Yiyi also felt embarrassed.
After all, she had even misunderstood before that Li Changlin wanted to exploit her.
Now, the facts were laid bare before her; Li Changlin’s decision for her to audition for Xuanyuan’s ’The Voice’ was actually a move to heavily promote her.
Otherwise, why would Li Changlin go out of his way to write a song for her?
Wang Yiyi was quite emotionally intelligent, and with just a bit of thought, she understood the whole situation, feeling even more embarrassed.
"Fine, it’s not a problem; it’s partly because I didn’t explain things clearly to you from the start," Li Changlin waved his hand to dismiss the topic. However, there was still more to discuss, "Yiyi, the agreement you signed with the company is for five years, but I think the company should sign a new one with you, changing it to ten years. Would you have any objections? Of course, the reason for the change is that the company plans to vigorously promote you. I’ll provide you with original songs for all the events in Xuanyuan’s ’The Voice,’ hoping you can take the crown. But rest assured, the company will definitely not exploit you regarding your bonuses and salary."
"Okay, I’m willing to sign a new contract with the company." Wang Yiyi was no fool; with Li Changlin’s support, she knew she would be able to avoid many detours in her future career.
After all, Li Changlin had just said that he would use the stage name Heavenly Voice Messenger to release an album with the company.
This also proved that Li Changlin would definitively stay with the company, so she would have plenty of opportunities to be close to her idol.
Moreover, Li Changlin had promised to provide her with original songs throughout Xuanyuan’s ’The Voice’ contest, so what was there to worry about!
At this moment, Wang Yiyi was brimming with excitement, having forgotten her earlier thoughts.
Li Changlin was unaware of all this.
Seeing Wang Yiyi agree, he promptly had Feng Yongrui retrieve both the work and confidentiality contracts to be resigned with her.
This time, they agreed on a ten-year partnership, as that was Li Changlin’s wish.
He didn’t want all his efforts to make Wang Yiyi a star end up benefiting someone else.
To prevent such a circumstance, Li Changlin instructed Feng Yongrui to include an astronomical sum as a penalty for breach of contract.
As for the confidentiality contract, it was the same as that of Feng Yongrui’s; Li Changlin was consistent in this respect.
Wang Yiyi had no objections to any of this.
After all, she wasn’t foolish, knowing that once she made a name for herself, it would be almost impossible for her to leave Sky Horse easily.
