“The period is blocked off clearly because we have confirmed that we will be participating in those episodes during that period. There will be other jobs after the stated time frame in the contract is due,” Tan Mo said coldly.
Tan Jingi added sarcastically, “Director Ge, since we have already said so much, it would be meaningless to talk about other things.”
“Heh.” Ge Guangzhen scoffed coldly. “Are the three of you sure you want to use such an attitude to talk to us? You should know that it is not a must for me to use Tan Jinsheng.”
Addressed him as ‘teacher’ and he got ahead of himself, huh.
“You know, in the entire entertainment industry, there are only a few popular singers. Especially when it’s increasingly difficult to survive in the music industry. Only a few can make money.” Ge Guangzhen grinned, “So, all these singers are fighting for the opportunity to come on our show.”
“Even if they are not paid, it’s enough for them as long as they can sing here and be recognized by the audience. They won’t say anything about how many episodes they would be scheduled on. They will cooperate with the program team’s arrangement,” said Ge Guangzhen.
“I’s a great opportunity for you to participate in this program,” said Ge Guangzhen to Tan Jinsheng. “Even if it’s just one episode, it’ll still be very beneficial for you.”
“Young chap, you are still new. Don’t be too greedy. Many people are envious that you have the chance to participate in the show, even if it’s only one episode. If it were someone else, they would have quickly agreed. They wouldn’t be asking so many questions like you.” Ge Guangzhen said coldly.
Chen Xinghan was rather arrogant earlier, but at least his tone was still good.
However, now, he spoke a disdainful tone, “To be honest, our program isn’t begging you to participate. We are giving you this opportunity to show your face in front of the public. Not everyone has such an opportunity. You should seize it. If you don’t, who knows when you’ll have such an opportunity in
the future?”
“It wasn’t easy for you to take advantage of the popularity of ‘Broken Continent’ to make your songs famous. But you would be quickly forgotten after the popularity passed if you don’t appear in programs and front of the public for a long time. In this industry, the competition is too strong, and the new
generations of stars are changing fast. It doesn’t revolve around you either. If you don’t come on the show, there will be plenty of people to replace you.”
Ge Guangzhen was very satisfied with Chen Xinghan’s words.
Chen Xinghan was worthy of being his proud assistant. He had worked with him for many years and knew very well when and how to cooperate.
Ge Guangzhen gave Chen Xinghan a look, and Chen Xinghan took out the contract, “This is the contract we are offering you. You will only participate in one episode, and the pay for one episode is five thousand dollars. You are participating in the competition as a challenger, and when the time comes, we
will arrange for you to fail.”
Ge Guangzhen smiled and said, “Don’t think too much about it. Just treat yourself as a guest participating in one episode.”
Although Ge Guangzhen said that it wasn’t a must for him to use Tan Jinsheng, Tan Jinsheng was indeed the best choice for them now.
The first episode of the program only started recording today but would only be broadcast next month.
It was impossible to wait until all the recordings were completed before they start the broadcast.
However, these singers weren’t that well-known, and their singing skills were also average.
It was very difficult for the program team to select someone.
Several people volunteered, But the range of people who satisfied the conditions was very small. They needed someone with a certain level of fame and were known by the audience yet due to various reasons, do not appear on the big stage very often. However, they had to have popular songs or many
classic masterpieces.
Those that could be considered had their singing skills had deteriorated with age.
While those whose singing skills had not deteriorated had already been invited before.
There were also those who had a certain level of fame and have considerable appearance fees. But they were not necessarily willing to go along with their script.
After all, they had already decided on the winner for this season when they were recruiting guests before the recording even started.
Just like Tan Jinsheng, he had gained fame with the songs from “Broken Continent” and his songs were extremely popular.
His name was not as famous as his songs, and he was a newcomer.
Furthermore, his appearance fee was low. They could handle it.
No matter how Ge Guangzhen thought about it, Tan Jinsheng was the most suitable candidate.
But he did not expect Tan Jinsheng to have some ideas of his own.
But it did not matter.
Ge Guangzhen had often encountered artists that acted this way.
They had just gotten famous and were too arrogant, and did not know their true status.
Ge Guangzhen had expected that this conversation wouldn’t go so smoothly.
However, as long as Tan Jinsheng realized that his position was very awkward, he would still obediently agree to sign the contract.
“I thought that competitions should be done fairly. Of course, there are many pressures that variety shows face nowadays, so it’s impossible to be 100% fair. However, it should look like a real competition, shouldn’t it?” Tan Jinsheng said with a frown..
