"Let them go on stage first."
“They’ve already come; if we refuse, it will damage our reputation,” Li Shi said.
The next few singers to appear are artists from the music industry giants, Rock Records.
Although Rolling Stone's financial resources are not as great as those of Kyushu and Haitian, it is a long-established company in the music industry.
There are many singers.
She has solid singing skills.
Some of them are even international celebrities.
They have a certain reputation internationally.
These singers command exorbitant appearance fees and rarely perform in the country.
However, they frequently appear on stages in Western countries.
When China hosted the Asian Games in Shanghai, the owner of Rolling Stone took the initiative to approach Li Shi, wanting to have several of his artists, who were being groomed for stardom, perform.
This event will allow them to reach the world more quickly and make money faster.
Of course, Rolling Stone also contributed a sponsorship fee, which was not as high as Kyushu's, but higher than that of other companies.
Their singers are all here this time, so it's a bit unreasonable not to let them perform.
It is estimated that disputes will arise.
So Li Shi decided to let them play.
"These singers became famous overnight because of a TV show, but they don't have any real talent."
"Some people have also revealed that they, as mentors, privately demanded nearly ten million yuan in selection fees from the new trainees."
"If they don't give it to us, we'll suppress them."
"Rolling Stones packaged them because they valued their popularity."
"So we want to use this event to promote them and bring benefits to the company."
"If it weren't for that TV station, they wouldn't even be considered third-rate singers."
"Compared to this artist under Kyushu, she's far inferior," the two committee members said, shaking their heads.
Backstage at the auditorium, Li Yaoji, who had just stepped off the stage, encountered a female singer who was about to go on stage.
She wore a long shawl and a leather jacket and pants, looking very stylish.
Despite wearing exquisite makeup, she was over fifty years old, but the signs of aging were still undeniable, with her crow's feet and hunchback clearly visible.
Her lips were painted a vibrant pink, almost too brightly.
She is Ziying, a veteran singer who became a sensation as a mentor on a certain TV station.
"Heh, who do we have here!"
"So it was you!" Ziying looked at Li Yaoji with a sneer.
"I originally thought that after you were kicked out of Haitian Company, you would disappear from the music industry forever."
"I never expected that Kyushu Corporation would pull us out of there."
"They're spending a lot of money to promote you, hoping to use this opportunity to make you famous and turn you into a sensation."
"Let me tell you, as long as I'm in the music industry, you'll never become a sensation."
"Forever trampled underfoot."
"I'm not afraid of you now!"
"Because I'm no longer with Haitian Company."
"And, not at Rolling Stone."
"If you continue to threaten me."
“Our CEO Chen won’t ignore this,” Li Yaoji said through gritted teeth, looking at her old enemy.
But the official performance is tomorrow, now is not the time to be angry.
We must adjust our mindset and make ample preparations for the performance.
"Heh, what else can you do besides bringing up President Chen to put pressure on me?"
"He has neither qualifications nor connections."
"No way you can establish yourself in the music industry."
"Get out of the way." Ziying kicked out, hitting Li Yaoji squarely in the abdomen. Li Yaoji groaned and fell to the ground.
Ziying snorted coldly, walked up to the platform, lifted the curtain, and disappeared.
"Yaoji, what's wrong?" Hanhua, who was waiting in the lounge, became anxious when she saw that Yaoji hadn't arrived yet. She immediately went out the door and headed backstage.
When they arrived backstage, they saw Li Yaoji lying on the ground, pale-faced and clutching her stomach.
She was startled, quickly helped her up, and asked.
"It's nothing, just a little stomach discomfort."
"I'll be fine after a rest," Li Yaoji said, forcing a smile.
"Then I'll take you to the hospital now," Hanhua said.
"No need, no need," Li Yaoji quickly waved her hand.
At this point, you cannot leave.
After all, the leaders were all there, and so was General Manager Chen.
After the performance, the leaders will hold a meeting to summarize the results!
If I withdraw, I might miss tomorrow's performance opportunity.
"Alright then."
"I'll help you to the rest room!" Han Hua could only nod and help Li Yaoji away.
"Sister Hua, don't tell President Chen. I don't want him to worry about me!" Li Yaoji said.
"Okay." After thinking for a moment, Hanhua agreed.
"Looking at the moon in the clouds, looking at the flowers in the water... I want to say this..." On stage, Ziying swayed her body, flaunting her charm, and performed with deep emotion, making her old fans almost lick the microphone.
Everyone on the observation platform shook their heads.
These are songs from over ten years ago; I'm so tired of hearing them.
Although it was popular in the past, that was then!
The opening ceremony was in the style of traditional Chinese culture, so this song was clearly out of place.
"I've been listening to this woman's songs since I was in elementary school."
"I didn't expect you to be regressing. Don't you have any new songs besides old ones?" Xiao Yun frowned and asked Li Shi.
"How about we change to another song?" Li Shi said, feeling a little embarrassed.
"Mm." Xiao Yun nodded.
"Xiao You, tell the singer on stage to change her song." Li Shi took out his phone and made a call to one of the hosts on stage.
After finishing the phone call, the host walked over to Ziying, who was giving a heartfelt performance.
"The boss said your song isn't good and wants you to change it," she said.
"Then I'll change to another song," Ziying quickly stopped singing and said.
“You are now a signed artist under Rock Records. Your performances represent the face of Rock Records. Bring out your best songs and don’t let your company down or the leadership down,” Xiao You said.
"Okay, okay," Ziying said with a fawning expression.
"The rehearsal is not the official performance; some programs that didn't perform well will be cut later."
"I hope you seize this opportunity." Xiao You shook her head and left.
"I was moved by you, and then I was conquered by you..."
"Get out!" As soon as the song started, Committee Members Niu and Zhang immediately bristled and roared.
"Committee Member Li, what's going on? It's getting increasingly unpleasant," Xiao Yun said, frowning.
"I didn't expect that Rolling Stones would send these old men this time."
"What a disgrace!" Li Shi said, frowning deeply.
I thought changing the song would make it sound better, but it's still an old song. Although it was temporarily rearranged, it was obviously overdone. With the addition of other timbres, it not only lost its original flavor but also sounded extremely bad.
"Delete her show!"
"Don't let this grand event be tarnished," Xiao Yun said calmly.
