Chapter 94: Don’t let dirty laundry be aired in public
…
Such a long time has passed, and after the incident of Han Mingze impersonating Xu Kai, if the senior management of the "Singer" program production team still fails to realize that there is a problem between Xu Kai and the sisters Yang Xinchun and Yang Xindong, then they have wasted so many years in the entertainment industry, which is the place that tests emotional intelligence the most.
Therefore, while facilitating the meeting between Xu Kai and sisters Yang Xinchun and Yang Xindong, the "Singer" program production team also made a very excessive request - they wanted to send someone to sit in on the meeting between Xu Kai and sisters Yang Xinchun and Yang Xindong, and mediate the conflict between them.
The production team of "Singer" program has reasons for doing this.
Because "Singer" adopts a last-in-first-out system, popular singers with high traffic are simply unwilling to go on "Singer" and compete with those top contestants.
The production team of "Singer" program finally caught Yang Xindong, the trump card, and they certainly cannot allow any accidents to happen.
Thinking in reverse, if Xu Kai's talks with sisters Yang Xinchun and Yang Xindong broke down, resulting in Yang Xindong not appearing on "Singer", it could be a fatal blow to this new program.
Don't think this is alarmist.
Not to mention that the production team of the "Singer" program has already announced that Yang Xindong may participate in their program.
Let’s just say that many of the singers who have already been confirmed by the production team of “Singer” actually agreed to come just because they heard that Yang Xindong, the most popular traffic queen at the moment, was going to be on “Singer” and they thought that “Singer” would be a hit.
There is not much time left before the premiere of "Singer". If Yang Xindong suddenly fails, the production team of "Singer" will first deceive the audience and then the contestants. This may lead to the audience not watching "Singer" and the contestants not coming to compete in "Singer", which may lead to the complete collapse of "Singer".
Xu Kai did not even consider the excessive demands of the "Singer" program production team, and said: "Family disgrace should not be made public. Sorry, I cannot agree to your request."
The people in the production team of "Singer" were very capable. They did not mention the fake contract, nor did they mention that you had already received 1.5 million from us, nor did they mention that the air tickets, hotel fees and other expenses of so many of you were all paid by our program team. Instead, they sent two people who were difficult for Xu Kai to refuse.
"Hello, Big Bird, I'm Hong Hai, the chief director of The Singer, nice to meet you."
"Hello, Big Bird, I'm Liang Liqun, the music director, arranger and guitarist of the live band of The Singer. Nice to meet you."
Hong Hai is China's leading variety show director, supervisor, producer, and creative coordinator. He holds a high status in the entertainment industry, especially in the variety show industry.
In order to promote Xu Li to become a big star, Xu Kai prepared to produce "Happy Comedian" by himself.
Making friends with Hong Hai will definitely help Xu Kai in producing "Happy Comedians", otherwise, there might be a lot more resistance.
The more important one is the second one, Liang Liqun, who is a famous musician, singer and producer. In the 1980s, he was known as the "No. 1 guitarist in South China". He is definitely a senior who is like the ceiling in the music circle and was once Xu Kai's idol.
Not to mention that Xu Kai has been away from the music industry for ten years, even if he had always been in the music industry, he would have to be polite to Liang Liqun, a senior who is both talented and virtuous.
Seeing these two people, Xu Kai did not dare to be arrogant. He politely shook hands with Hong Hai and Liang Liqun respectively.
"Hello, Director Hong."
"Hello, Teacher Liang."
"We won't talk nonsense with you. Yang Xindong is too important to our program team. So, can you let me and Teacher Liang sit in and help mediate the conflict between you and the sisters Yang Xinchun and Yang Xindong?" Hong Hai said politely.
"You can rest assured. No matter what Director Hong and I hear, we will keep it to ourselves and will never tell anyone until we die," Liang Liqun promised.
Xu Kai believed that with Hong Hai and Liang Liqun's cultivation and reputation, they would definitely not speak nonsense.
Moreover, seeing how Yang Xinchun and Yang Xindong were pestering him, Xu Kai estimated that he and Yang Xindong would not be able to hide this matter for much longer.
Xu Kai working as a doctor in the prison hospital was somewhat against prison regulations, but that was only on the premise that Xu Kai was guilty.
But the problem is that Xu Kai is not guilty at all.
In this situation, Xu Kai is a bachelor with a girlfriend, who dares to control Xu Kai?
As for those people in the prison who gave the green light to Xu Kai, they can definitely protect themselves. After all, Xu Kai was not the only one who went to the hospital for "reform through labor". Not to mention that all the people doing odd jobs there were prisoners, some of them were simply "hospitalized" in the prison hospital for a long time.
There's no way to dig deeper into this kind of thing.
To take a step back, even if those corrupt officials are punished, it may not be a bad thing for the people.
So, after thinking about it, Xu Kai said, "As long as the two sisters agree, I have no problem with that."
Soon, the production team of "Singer" wrote back to Xu Kai, and Yang Xinchun agreed that Hong Hai and Liang Liqun could sit in and mediate.
Seeing Yang Xinchun and Yang Xindong's attitude, Xu Kai became more and more certain that Yang Xinchun and Yang Xindong were no longer afraid of exposing their previous relationship. They might even expect someone to expose this matter.
After lunch, the "Singer" program production team led Xu Kai, Dong Ye and Dong Ni to the conference room of the St. Regis Hotel - Xiong Zijian, Qi Siyu and Gu Linlin did not follow.
It's not that Xu Kai didn't want to bring Xiong Zijian and the other three, but the two old brothers Xiong Zijian and Qi Siyu took the initiative to suggest that they not come because they were not familiar with Yang Xinchun and Yang Xindong.
Gulinlin wanted to come with Xu Kai to watch the show, but Xiong Zijian and Qi Siyu didn't come, so she had to give up in disappointment.
When Xu Kai and the other two arrived at the meeting room, Hong Hai and Liang Liqun were already there.
Seeing this, Xu Kai had even less resistance to Hong Hai and Liang Liqun sitting in and mediating.
Liang Liqun was afraid of a dull moment, so he took the initiative to mention: "From my impression, you seem to have absolute pitch, right?"
"Well, I was born with perfect pitch, but I don't think it's a big deal."
To work in music-related fields, you don't necessarily need to have absolute pitch.
Many music learners and workers can become leaders in the industry with only relative pitch.
Seriously speaking, both abilities actually have their own advantages, and it is hard to say which one is better.
Therefore, absolute pitch is not something that is amazing. It can only be said that it is a kind of musical talent that can be acquired without any effort.
Xu Kai added: "Mr. Liang, your guitar playing is absolutely amazing. You may not know that you are my idol. I learned a lot of guitar playing skills from watching your videos. I even went to your concerts on purpose."
"Oh? You've also been to my concert? Which one?"
"The one at the Workers' Stadium in 1998."
"Oh, that concert. At that time, I had officially transformed from a guitarist to a music producer. That was my second to last solo concert."
"It was your concert that made me realize how big the gap was between you and me at that time. I still remember the extended chords you performed live, which really amazed me at that time."
"You can hear my extended chords just by ear. It seems that your absolute pitch is indeed true."
When talking about music, Xu Kai and Liang Liqun quickly found common topics.
As the conversation progressed, Liang Liqun discovered that Xu Kai had extremely high attainments in music, and most music producers probably could not reach Xu Kai's level.
In addition, there is a rumor in the music circle that Yang Xindong has a top music producer in the industry supporting her, and her dozens of songs were tailor-made for her by that music producer.
Liang Liqun had already vaguely guessed the grudge between Xu Kai and the sisters Yang Xinchun and Yang Xindong...
