Chapter 605: Chapter 364: Invitation to 2022 Spring Festival Gala? (Seeking Subscription)_2

"Principal Ding, I have a phone call, excuse me."

An Yujia took out her mobile phone and seeing that the caller was neither a familiar person nor marked as a harassing call, hesitated for a moment before deciding to answer the call.

"Okay."

Ding Yue nodded, indicating that An Yujia could answer the call.

So An Yujia stood up, took her mobile phone and very politely walked out into the corridor outside the principal’s office before answering the call.

"Hello, how can I help you?"

"Hello, are you the person in charge at Feiyue Media?" A middle-aged woman’s voice came from the other end of the phone.

An Yujia was stunned for a moment, then answered, "Yes, I’m An Yujia, the CEO of Feiyue Group and I’m also responsible for the business of Feiyue Media. May I know who is speaking?"

An Yujia had no idea who the caller might be, as it was impossible to tell from the voice.

Moreover, the caller did not introduce herself.

However, she was very precise in seeking herself out, that is, the "person in charge of Feiyue Media" she mentioned.

At this stage, the Feiyue Group’s business is not too broad, so An Yujia is indeed responsible for many matters of Feiyue Media.

"Hello Miss An, I am Li Hongyan, the director and producer of NTS." The middle-aged woman on the other end of the phone finally introduced herself.

Li Hongyan?

An Yujia felt that this name seemed a bit familiar, as if she had heard it before, or even seen it somewhere.

And the woman worked for NTS?

An Yujia’s first reaction was whether Li Hongyan was looking for Principal Ding, and because she did not have Principal Ding’s private number, she called her instead.

But something didn’t seem right!

The caller had asked if she was the person in charge of Feiyue Media, so it was obvious that she was contacting her regarding Feiyue Media.

"Hello Director Li, may I...wait, are you the director of the annual Spring Festival Gala, Director Li?" Just as An Yujia was about to ask what she was seeking her for, she suddenly remembered.

Li Hongyan!

The director of the Spring Festival Gala of NTS in Xia Country for several years in a row!

The reason An Yujia was able to remember so quickly was because she used to watch the Spring Festival Gala every year when she was abroad during the Spring Festival, the most important festival in Xia Country.

And for the past several years, the majority of the Spring Festival Gala programs were directed by Li Hongyan.

No wonder An Yujia felt that she had seen this name somewhere. Didn’t she see it when she watched the Spring Festival Gala?

"That’s me." The middle-aged woman on the phone chuckled in response.

"Oh my goodness, so it really is Director Li. I used to watch the Spring Festival Gala every year when I was abroad. The recent ones you directed were quite good."

An Yujia exclaimed excitedly.

"Thank you, Miss An. The reason I’m seeking you out is to discuss something about this year’s 2022 Spring Festival Gala."

Director Li Hongyan said with a smile.

"Ah? What is it?" An Yujia was so excited that she didn’t know what Director Li Hongyan was referring to when she said she was seeking her for something about the 2022 Spring Festival Gala.

"Well, your company has a music artist named Lin Zhirou who recently released a traditional song called ’Blue and White Porcelain,’ correct?"

Director Li Hongyan asked.

"Yes, that’s true." On hearing this, An Yujia most likely guessed the reason for Director Li Hongyan’s call.

"In just ten days’ time, this song has become a phenomenal success throughout the country. It’s a high-quality song that perfectly combines traditional and modern pop music, which I personally really like, and is loved by countless listeners. So, I would like to invite Lin Zhirou to participate in the rehearsals for the 2022 Spring Festival Gala."

Director Li Hongyan explained her intentions.

Wow!

An Yujia felt quite excited at the news.

She didn’t expect that the director of the Spring Festival Gala would personally call to invite Lin Zhirou to the Spring Festival Gala. This was definitely good news.

However!

For such important matters, An Yujia couldn’t make a decision on her own and respond to Director Li Hongyan without consultation.

"Director Li, thank you for giving Lin Zhirou this opportunity. I will discuss this matter with Lin Zhirou immediately and reply to you as soon as possible. Does that sound okay?"

Once An Yujia had calmed her inner excitement, she spoke to Li Hongyan very composedly.

"Alright Miss An, we’ll wait for your decision, but we need it as soon as possible," Director Li reminded her, "Because we’re already starting to prepare the show."

Now that it was November, more than a month away from New Year’s Day, and the Lunar New Year of Xia Country was approaching, it was perfectly reasonable that NTS was starting preparations for the Spring Festival Gala.

"Understood!"

After hanging up the phone, An Yujia took a deep breath, then immediately turned around and headed for the principal’s office.

For such matters, An Yujia would definitely report to Principal Ding right away.

Moreover, it would ultimately be up to Principal Ding to decide if Lin Zhirou would accept the invitation to attend the Spring Festival Gala’s dress rehearsal and related activities.

"Principal Ding."

Upon entering the principal’s office, An Yujia immediately called out.

"Hm?"

Ding Yue had been looking down at his phone, but when he saw An Yujia returning from her call, he lifted his head and asked, "What’s up? Did something happen on that call?"

Ding Yue only made a rough guess.

As it turned out, he guessed right.

An Yujia nodded and said, "Principal Ding, that was Director Li Hongyan from NTS."

"Director Li Hongyan from NTS?" Ding Yue didn’t have a deep impression of her and might not even recognize her without mentioning her identity.

After all, Director Liu was the only one he was familiar with at NTS.

"What, is it about the second season of ’A Bite of Xia Country’?" Ding Yue asked, then muttered to himself, "That’s not right, Zhu Youzhao, the head of the Film and Television Department, should be the one handling this."

A quick shake of her head from An Yujia: "No, Principal Ding, this Li Hongyan, she is...."

Before An Yujia could finish speaking, Wen Ruohan suddenly exclaimed, "My, isn’t Director Li Hongyan the head director for the Spring Festival Gala?"

"Huh?"

Ding Yue paused, then turned to look at An Yujia.

An Yujia nodded.

"The head director of the Spring Festival Gala at NTS?" Ding Yue became even more confused. Why would such a person seek out An Yujia: "What did she want with you?"

"Well, Principal Ding, Lin Zhirou’s song ’Blue and White Porcelain’ has become a huge hit, and Director Li really likes it. She feels it carries significant meaning, so she wants to invite Lin Zhirou to the Spring Festival Gala to perform it."

An Yujia immediately told Ding Yue the purpose of Director Li’s call.

"Seriously!"

Ding Yue was taken aback.

Then, he was overjoyed!

This was great news!

"Inviting Lin Zhirou to the Spring Festival Gala?" Ding Yue laughed heartily: "Excellent, excellent, this is great news!"

For any singer or star, being able to perform on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala is undoubtedly a great honor and a great affirmation from NTS and the audience.

Getting on the Spring Festival Gala isn’t easy!

Yet Lin Zhirou, with her song ’Blue and White Porcelain’, had successfully attracted the attention of NTS’s head director and even received a personal invitation for the gala.

This indicated that the head director Li Hongyan took Lin Zhirou and ’Blue and White Porcelain’ very seriously.

If Ding Yue remembered correctly, this song also appeared on the Spring Festival Gala in its past life on Earth.

"So, Principal Ding, do we agree?" An Yujia asked.

"Absolutely!"

For Lin Zhirou, this was undoubtedly a tremendous opportunity, and Feiyue Media as her contracting company, and Mist City Arts and Science University as her alma mater, how could they not give Lin Zhirou this opportunity.

Plus, Director Li had personally called to invite Lin Zhirou to perform at the Spring Festival Gala. Could they really reject this without offending her? Only someone completely clueless would make such a decision.

"Call Lin Zhirou here immediately!"

Ding Yue excitedly declared.

It felt like a long time since he last saw the beautiful school flower Lin Zhirou.
