Bei Zhu tried to reason with Yi Mu, saying, "You're a man. Don't be so rude to women in front of the camera. It will lower your female fans' opinion of you."
The current trend in the entertainment industry is that male celebrities, even if they are not handsome, must be considerate and gentle.
Taking good care of the actresses and female stars you work with can easily win over the audience.
If someone did what Yi Mu just did, they would be torn apart by online criticism, accused of disrespecting female celebrities, being a sexist, a chauvinist, and lacking manners.
Yi Mu's temper was never the gentle type, and he had already restrained himself a lot when facing Leng Jia.
Furthermore, the company doesn't have "considerate and thoughtful" in the persona he's given, and he's not going to be stupid enough to put such a thankless persona on himself.
"Stop talking nonsense and just say it: can we terminate the contract with this show?"
Yi Mu was fed up with these scripted games, where people with no skills could easily slip through while those who took music seriously were being nitpicked by bored people about their clothes.
He was certain that even if Tang Rong wasn't eliminated this time, he would definitely leave in the next episode.
Although the King of Singers liked Tang Rong, he was too smooth and had no principles.
Essentially, he's a fence-sitter. Although he's different from the shameless Dance King who plays favorites, he's still unreliable.
Bei Zhu told Yi Mu with certainty, "Impossible. Breaching the contract would cost 30 million, and the company will not pay that amount."
Yi Mu made a surprising statement: "If the company won't pay, I will."
Bei Zhu stared at him wide-eyed: "Are you crazy? That's thirty million, not thirty thousand!"
After Yi Mu became famous, his net worth skyrocketed, easily earning 200 million yuan a year. But money shouldn't be wasted like that.
The entertainment industry is a big melting pot. The rules were set a long time ago. Talent is worthless here, and without luck or connections, you're destined not to go far.
Yi Mu is no longer a newcomer, and Bei Zhu can't understand why he would still be so naive. Could it be that he really likes that boy named Tang Rong?
But that child wasn't particularly good-looking, too shy, and a bit unappealing. I don't know what made Yi Mu take a liking to him.
Yi Mu isn't hard of hearing. He'd wanted to quit this awful show a long time ago. If it weren't for Bei Zhu's constant talk about cherishing old friendships, he wouldn't have paid any attention to these ridiculous rules.
Yi Mu waved his hand, telling Bei Zhu not to say any more.
“I’ve made up my mind, I’ll pay for it, but I want to make a request to you, sister.”
Bei Zhu knew his temperament well; sometimes he was easy to talk to, but once he made up his mind about something, he wouldn't easily waver.
She had no choice but to give up on Yi Mu, knowing the situation was beyond repair, so she said impatiently, "What is it?"
"You should sign Tang Rong; I think he's a good candidate."
Bei Zhu refused outright, saying, "That child has no future in the entertainment industry; we can't make him a star."
She has a keen eye; nine out of ten people she sets her sights on become famous.
Someone like Tang Rong isn't suited for the entertainment industry; he's too timid and doesn't know how to speak properly.
Yi Mu had only one request: he genuinely liked Tang Rong's voice.
Bei Zhu signed him, so he can continue singing. If he just goes home like this, the world will lose a singer, which would be such a pity.
Yi Mu's attitude was very firm, and Bei Zhu had to seriously consider it, after all, Yi Mu was currently the most popular one in her hands.
The production team held a short meeting and came to discuss the matter with Bei Zhu. They sounded quite resentful and told Yi Mu to lower his profile and not be so ostentatious, as it would make things difficult for everyone.
At this moment, Bei Zhu was somewhat glad that Yi Mu had made a decision. She raised her chin and smiled, "I'm sorry, we have to terminate our contract with the program team due to scheduling issues. Let's make some contact."
