As for the mystery guest, netizens have let their imaginations run wild, offering all sorts of guesses.
"Could it be a music legend who has been retired for many years?"
"Perhaps a powerful singer who has returned from abroad?"
"I bet it's a new singer who's recently become a sensation on short video platforms!"
"Maybe it's a film or television star who's crossing over to take on this challenge!"
"Could this be the first appearance of a member of a group after going solo?"
"Could it be a dark horse who performed exceptionally well on other music programs?"
Various speculations and theories have emerged, making everyone even more excited for this season of "Singer Who Makes Waves".
Right after the announcement was released, a senior figure in the music industry was unhappy and immediately called Zong Hai!
Cai Qiong is a top-tier singer in the music industry, on par with Mei Fei.
Zong Hai's initial plan was to invite two music divas, Mei Fei and Cai Qiong, to compete on the same stage. The stage effect would be absolutely phenomenal, since the two have always been compared in the music industry.
The two have been clashing in the music scene for decades, and their fans have been arguing online for many years. Their performances are sure to be a highlight, which was initially the selling point that Zong Hai planned to promote heavily.
But unexpectedly, Cai Qiong changed her mind after everything was agreed upon, so Zong Hai had no choice but to turn his attention to Xiao Qingfeng.
Just then, Zong Hai's phone rang.
After glancing at the caller ID, Zong Hai tossed his phone onto the table!
After the other party made four or five calls, Zong Hai finally answered the phone with a mischievous grin on his face!
"Oh, Teacher Cai, I'm so sorry, I was busy and didn't hear you. Is there anything I can help you with?"
Cai Qiong said, "Director Zong, I've come to apologize to you. I never expected that my agent would raise the price behind my back. You must believe me, this was not my intention!"
"I just gave her a stern talking-to and deducted all her performance bonuses. She still really wants to be on the show. When would you like to sign a contract? Or I can fly there this afternoon..."
Before Cai Qiong could finish speaking, Zong Hai interrupted, "I'm really sorry, Teacher Cai, the last singer in the initial lineup has already been decided, and the contract has been signed. It can't be changed, otherwise it would be a breach of contract. I think we should work together another time!"
Zong Hai sneered repeatedly. They were all old foxes in the entertainment industry; he wouldn't believe Cai Qiong's words.
If she were a new singer, it might be possible for her manager to raise her price behind her back, but given Cai Qiong's current status, it's absolutely impossible for her manager to do something like that behind her back.
Cai Qiong panicked upon hearing Zong Hai's words. If this matter was not handled properly, it would be tantamount to antagonizing Hunan TV, and she could forget about ever appearing on any Hunan TV program again.
"Director Zong, this really wasn't my idea. It's all my agent's fault for acting on my own initiative. I know you created this show, so adding one more person shouldn't be a problem for you!"
"If all else fails, I'll lower my fee a bit, twenty million, is that alright?"
Normally, Cai Qiong's fee for participating in a program is 30 million, and the "friendship price" is 2,800. Now that the other party has offered 20 million, Zong Hai is somewhat tempted.
But Zong Hai wouldn't agree. Firstly, the starting lineup was already set and difficult to change, and secondly, did they really think he, Zong Hai, had no temper?
If we let this go today, there's no guarantee it won't happen again.
However, Zong Hai didn't want his relationship with Cai Qiong to become too strained. Since she had already used her agent as a shield, he acquiesced.
"Sister Qiong, I'm really sorry, but the starting lineup has already been decided. It's not appropriate to replace anyone now, and we'd have to pay a penalty for breaking the contract. Even if I agreed, the investors wouldn't!"
"How about this? As you know, our show has replacement singers and challengers. If you have the opportunity, you can also participate in the show as a non-singer or a challenger!"
"I've already thought of a reason for you. You can say that you were invited when the product was first launched, but you couldn't make the schedule due to work commitments. How about that?"
Although Cai Qiong was somewhat unwilling upon hearing this, she knew that what Zong Hai said was true. She couldn't possibly ask others to pay breach of contract fees to other singers so that she could get on stage; that wouldn't be appropriate!
So after thinking for a moment, he replied, "Alright then, that's the only way. Please be sure to contact me when you have the chance!"
"Definitely, definitely!"
Zong Hai readily agreed, saying that whether or not he would contact them later was entirely up to him!
Of course, Zong Hai still had his own ulterior motives. Although he was very unhappy about Cai Qiong's breach of contract, this program was ultimately a business and needed to make money.
The other party is, after all, a superstar, with her status and position. If she were to come as a replacement singer or a challenger, the online public opinion would definitely explode.
Cai Qiong, who had just hung up the phone, was also very unhappy. If she weren't wary of Hunan TV behind Zong Hai, she would have cursed him out.
Who is he to be a challenger or replacement singer, and even then, his status is uncertain!
She's a superstar, after all; this is an insult to her.
