129: Preparing for a music variety show

Many people say that listening to Zhang Chenchen sing is like listening to a story painted with her voice, vividly bringing it to life and immersing the listener.

Chen Xiangbei has a unique fondness for voices with this strong sense of storytelling. It doesn't matter if it's a male Singer or a female Singer; as long as they can sing with a sense of story, he considers them a talented Singer.

Chen Xiangbei clicked into Zhang Chenchen's private message interface and sent her a message: I've been busy recently, but I'm free on Friday, Saturday, or Sunday. I wonder what your schedule is like, is there a chance we could collaborate on a song?

Today is Wednesday. Tomorrow, he has plans to eat with Chen Wen and Zhao Hu and also handle some matters, so he's not free.

Of course, he also considered that many variety shows or concerts are broadcast on weekends, which is why he chose these three days.

The reason he contacted the star first instead of the variety show's official team is that almost all music variety shows have invited him. No matter which show he chooses, he will be warmly invited. This is why he is so confident.

Meanwhile, Zhang Chenchen had just finished recording an announcement and was on her way back to the hotel. Her assistant was sitting with her.

Suddenly, her manager exclaimed, "Chenchen, Chenchen, look, quick, look!"

Zhang Chenchen looked at the assistant sitting in the back row, only to see her excitedly showing her something on her phone. Because her hand was shaking so much, she couldn't see clearly at all.

"Xiaolin, can you stop shaking? How am I supposed to see like this!"

Only then did Assistant Xiaolin react, steadying her hand, allowing Zhang Chenchen to see the content on the phone.

She saw a piece of text in the chat box, roughly asking if she was available for a collaboration.

At first, she didn't think much of it, assuming it was just a simple variety show invitation, as she frequently received all sorts of invitations and wasn't particularly surprised.

But when she clearly saw the avatar on the left side of the chat box, she was stunned. This familiar username and avatar belonged to the treasure Singer she discovered that day!

Since he replied that day saying he would carefully consider it, she thought there was no chance of collaboration because typically, saying 'let me consider it' is a polite refusal.

Unexpectedly, this person doesn't play by the rules; he genuinely considers things when he says he does!

Zhang Chenchen quickly took the phone and eagerly typed a reply, but after typing a section, she felt it wasn't quite right, so she deleted it and re-entered it.

After some deliberation, she finally sent the reply and was simultaneously looking forward to his response.

Chen Xiangbei was showering at this time. His cheerful singing echoed in the bathroom. The beautiful notes, mixed with the soap bubbles, turned the entire bathroom into a castle from a fairy tale world.

When he came out of the bathroom, it was already more than half an hour later. By this time, Zhang Chenchen had long since returned to the hotel, still nervously waiting for his reply.

After Chen Xiangbei finished, he picked up his phone and saw that Zhang Chenchen had already replied half an hour ago!

"It's a pleasure to receive your message. Ever since I heard your singing, I've really wanted to collaborate on a song with you, and today I finally have the chance!

I just finished recording this week's show today, and I've adjusted my schedule to later, so I'm free all weekend. We can have a great collaboration~"

Seeing this reply, Chen Xiangbei was also quite happy. He decisively replied.

"I've received many invitations from music variety shows recently. It's highly likely that going on any show is fine. Is there any particular variety show you really want to go on?"

"Ding."

Zhang Chenchen was currently walking back and forth in the living room with her phone. Suddenly, the phone's notification sound rang, causing her to stop immediately and hastily open her phone to check.

When she saw Chen Xiangbei's reply, her heart was filled with joy, and she carefully read all the messages.

Then she called Assistant Xiaolin over and discussed which recent music variety shows were popular with her.

After some discussion, Zhang Chenchen told Chen Xiangbei about the recently popular music variety show, God-Given Voice.

After Chen Xiangbei received the message, he immediately contacted the God-Given Voice program team, stating that he and Singer Zhang Chenchen could participate in the latest episode.

Gu Bei: Hello, God-Given Voice program team. Due to time constraints, Singer Zhang Chenchen and I have discussed it and decided that we are available to participate in your program this week. We wonder if you can make the necessary arrangements?

The staff of the God-Given Voice program team were incredibly excited after receiving Chen Xiangbei's message. They immediately contacted the program director and shared the news with everyone.

At this moment, the program director, Wang Jun, was in the backstage area of the local TV station, instructing the editing staff to speed up the editing of this week's program.

Suddenly, his phone rang. Seeing that it was a call from the staff member responsible for the program's short video account, he answered without much thought.

"Hello~ Director Wang, I have important news to tell you. Is it convenient for you to talk now?"

"Convenient, what is it?" Wang Jun said calmly.

"It's like this, a few days ago we sent an invitation to that mysterious Singer who's gone viral across the entire internet, right?"

"He just replied to us, saying he's available to participate in our program this week and wants to ask if we can arrange it here. He's also bringing Zhang Chenchen with him."

Upon hearing this news, Wang Jun stood up abruptly and exclaimed in surprise, "What! He... he agreed?!"

"Quick, quick, quick, reply to him! Tell him we can arrange it, absolutely can arrange it!"

"Just tell him that as long as he's willing to come, we'll hold a special episode just for him, postpone this week's episode, and dedicate the stage specifically to him and Zhang Chenchen, quick!"

After receiving the clear instructions, the staff member immediately hung up the phone and replied to Chen Xiangbei's message from backstage.

God-Given Voice: Esteemed Mr. Gu Bei, if you are willing to come, our program team will hold a special music episode for you, a dedicated episode featuring only you and Teacher Zhang Chenchen. How do you decide?

Chen Xiangbei was also a bit surprised after receiving the program team's reply. He didn't expect the program team to be so generous as to hold a special episode just for him!

In fact, he underestimated how popular he was online. Now, whichever program can invite him will gain immense traffic!

Subsequently, Chen Xiangbei accepted the program team's invitation, and after discussing it with Zhang Chenchen, they decided to attend the program's recording this Friday.

Gu Bei: My name is Chen Xiangbei. After careful consideration by both myself and Zhang Chenchen, we have decided to attend the recording of your program this Friday. Please provide the program team's specific arrangements, as well as the contract and process to us. We also wish for a pleasant collaboration, thank you!

Meanwhile, the program team was holding an emergency meeting to discuss Chen Xiangbei's participation in the program recording.
