"It doesn't matter. As long as Mr. Tang agrees, you don't have to participate in the preliminary round at all. You can directly participate in the semi-final. This way, you can skip the auditions and preliminary rounds and directly compete for the top eight in the sub-competition area." Fang Cheng began to use his privileges and promised immediately.

Tang Xiaobao laughed awkwardly and said, "That's not good. It seems unfair to the other contestants."

"No, no, no, I'm the chief director. The production team has this privilege. And with your ability, you don't need to participate in the preliminaries and auditions at all. In fact, I think you are fully capable of entering the finals. However, relative fairness is still necessary, and the competition system cannot be disrupted. So, President Tang needs to understand."

Tang Xiaobao understood, especially understood, he also felt that this was not fair.

Chen Mengyao looked at Tang Xiaobao with a smile on her face.

"But, to be honest, if I participate in the semi-finals, my identity will be exposed soon. Then your program team can use it to hype me up, but I won't have any privacy. That's not a good idea." Tang Xiaobao said embarrassedly.

Seeing that Tang Xiaobao seemed to be interested, Fang Cheng was a little excited and immediately promised, "Don't worry, Mr. Tang. I took this into consideration before coming here. When you participate in the semi-finals, you can use a stage name, any name you want. I also represent the program team to state that Mr. Tang will definitely not be used for any hype. We can even sign a contract to regulate everything. What do you think?"

Tang Xiaobao felt a little embarrassed and smiled bitterly, "You're really determined to drag me down with you, but I feel uneasy just thinking about it. I've heard a lot about how chaotic the entertainment industry is. If you get into this circle, it won't be easy to get out."

"That depends on who you are." Chen Mengyao interrupted, "As long as you want to come out, no one can stop you. Why are so many singers so controversial? They know this industry is in such a mess, but they still don't want to come out and put on a show? It's simple. They need fame, they need exposure, they need to make money by being in the entertainment industry. This is also the rule and characteristic of this industry. But you are different. You don't have to act according to the media's mood, nor do you have to act according to the preferences of your fans. If you want to sing, then sing. If you don't want to sing, then don't sing. No one can control you, threaten you, or force you."

Tang Xiaobao thought about it and it seemed to be true.

Who the hell can control themselves?

Mr. Tang is rich and famous. Being even more famous is just icing on the cake. Even if he doesn't follow the rules of his circle, no one can do anything to him.

It seems that by entering this circle, you can increase your reputation?

Tang Xiaobao was a little moved, really moved.

"It sounds like fun." Tang Xiaobao blinked.

Fang Cheng's face lit up with joy: "Yes, yes, it's fun, Mr. Tang, just take part. Really, I really want the public to hear your voice."

It feels a bit like a weird uncle is tempting a little boy to commit a crime, and a bit like a pyramid schemer is tricking people into joining.

Tang Xiaobao coughed and said, "If I could really release an album, that wouldn't be bad either. However, I heard that if you enter the entertainment industry, you have to sign a contract with an agency, right?"

"That's for others, you don't need it." Chen Mengyao smiled and said, "If you think it's fun, then we can just open an entertainment company. Didn't you and Zhao Haiyang set up a film company? Then we can merge them and the company can sign artists, release records, hold concerts, take on commercial performances, and make movies. Oh, and Director Fang is a filmmaker himself, so we can even ask Director Fang to make a movie in the future. You just have to pay. It would be so much fun."

sweat.

Fang Cheng also felt a little dizzy.

Make a movie?

He is trying to trick Tang Xiaobao into participating in the competition. Why does he feel like he is being sold out?

But for Tang Xiaobao, Fang Cheng was really willing to sell himself.

Putting aside other things, it seems that it would not be difficult for Tang Xiaobao and Zhao Haiyang to open an entertainment company together.

Nowadays, no matter what industry you enter, if you want to make a career, there are two prerequisites.

One is personal connections, and the other is strong financial resources.

It just so happens that Tang Xiaobao has both of these.

If someone offered Fang Cheng money to make a movie, he would still consider it.

Bah. Bah. Bah.

You're thinking too far ahead!

Tang Xiaobao's heart moved and he looked at Fang Cheng, his eyes rolling around.

Fang Cheng felt a little flustered and uneasy.

I feel like a prey being watched.

"Mr. Tang." He called out.

Tang Xiaobao chuckled and said, "Director Fang, I can promise you that I can participate in the competition. I can even participate in the preliminary rounds and auditions, but I have two conditions."

Fang Cheng knew that Tang Xiaobao's conditions might be harsh, but he still answered with a stiff upper lip: "Okay, Mr. Tang, please go ahead."

"First, my identity must be kept absolutely confidential," said Tang Xiaobao.

Fang Cheng nodded: "No problem, what about the second one?"

"If I ask you to make a movie in the future, will you agree?" After saying that, Tang Xiaobao stared into Fang Cheng's eyes.

Fang Cheng frowned and didn't dare to agree immediately.

Tang Xiaobao smiled and said, "Since President Shen is so optimistic about you, then I naturally believe her. I admire you very much. Otherwise, let's be friends. In the future, if we can really cooperate, maybe we can also put an end to the trend in the film industry."

Fang Cheng was stunned.

"I must explain something." Tang Xiaobao said seriously, "I'm deeply touched by what Director Fang said just now. The current entertainment industry is in such a bad state, filled with all kinds of unspoken rules. It's true that many celebrities have become corrupt and are using all kinds of unspoken rules to make money and gain fame. But I believe that in this stagnant world, there will always be some people whose original intentions are not like this. To be arrogant, I came to sing to disrupt the entertainment industry and subvert the original rules. Who said that the entertainment industry can't have a period of clear streams? Others don't dare to do it, but I dare to do it. At least, this is my original intention, and I have confidence. What about you?"

Anyone who says this will be laughed at.

You are overestimating your own abilities!

But when Tang Xiaobao said this, Fang Cheng believed it.

There is no reason, he just believes.

Tang Xiaobao's status is there, and he has the backing of the Shenlong Group. In addition, the Las Empire will support him from behind. Add to that the God of Cookery, and the energy accumulated by Zhao Haiyang's Zhao family in the entertainment industry for many years. Why can't he make a career?

Even if we cannot completely change the entertainment industry, we can definitely stir up a storm in the entertainment industry and bring in a breath of fresh air.

This is already a very commendable thing. From a certain perspective, it is even the greatest innovation and the greatest goal.

As a member of the entertainment industry, Fang Cheng has his own bottom line and conscience.

He suddenly felt that if he could join Tang Xiaobao, he might really become famous in the future.

Becoming famous is not the most important thing. What is more important is to be able to change the atmosphere in the entertainment industry.

This is what it means to leave your name in history!
