Qi Hemei spoke loudly, and several other veteran artists standing nearby heard it all and immediately knew who she was targeting.
Among this group of people, the only young artist was Dai Shutao, and these words were almost said to her face.
Since these veteran artists set up their own studios after leaving the company a few years ago, they have nothing to do with Canxing, but I have also heard about Canxing Entertainment's style of doing things, which is to protect its own people.
Not to mention that Dai Shutao is the current hot star of Canxing Entertainment, and it is said that she has an ambiguous relationship with Qin Guican, the president of Canxing Entertainment.
There is absolutely no need for Qi Hemei and Canxing Entertainment to have a quarrel over this.
Lu Sheng, dressed in casual clothes, although over fifty, was well-dressed and well-maintained, making it difficult to tell that he was already half a century old. Lu Sheng smiled and began to smooth things over: "The Yangtze River's new generation is rushing forward. The young people nowadays are quite capable, and there are many who are talented. Otherwise, they wouldn't be filming the commercial with us."
Even Luo Guangming, who was standing aside, was trying to smooth things over. Qi Hemei snorted coldly, rolled her eyes, and completely ignored their good intentions.
"What? These days, young people claim to be talented and capable, yet they don't even have life experience, so how can they write good lyrics or good music? They really think they're some famous superstar. How can these artists who are produced on the assembly line compare to us back then?"
Qi Hemei's voice was full of indignation. She asked her agent to inquire about it before leaving.
Although everyone present was shooting the commercial for free, they still had to receive necessary meal allowances.
In Qi Hemei's opinion, veteran artists with strength like them are now called "teachers" by the organizers, so the price will not be low at all, and it still starts from four digits.
After finding out about Dai Shutao's meal allowance, Qi Hemei's face turned extremely ugly.
I don’t want a penny, it’s purely for charity.
Apart from the round-trip airfare and hotel fees which needed to be paid by the organizer, Dai Shutao did not ask for a penny for the rest.
That's right, Canxing Entertainment is very wealthy and can even allow an artist who has been signed for less than half a year to open his own studio. They are definitely not short of money. How could they look down on their small business?
However, none of the newcomers, Dai Shutao, wanted meal allowances, and it would only make people laugh if they told others that veteran artists like them were occupying the meal allowance quota, making them think that these veteran artists were money-minded.
It was originally normal behavior, but because Dai Shutao gave up, the others seemed a little utilitarian.
Before leaving, Qi Hemei had privately contacted Lu Sheng and Luo Guangming, but found that they did not think the same as she did. Qi Hemei felt that she could not communicate with them, and the look in her eyes towards Dai Shutao was filled with more hatred.
Dai Shutao had just taken off her headphones. When she heard Qi Hemei's words, she looked at her with a bit of confusion.
It's funny to say that Qi Hemei was making indirect accusations all the way. Except for the other staff members who heard it clearly, the person involved wore headphones the whole time, listening to the demo he made before leaving, and had no time to pay attention to Qi Hemei at all.
Seeing that she was now looking at him with hostility, Dai Shutao just thought that the other party's eyes were a little uncomfortable, and nodded to Qi Hemei. Dai Shutao took the door card handed to her by the organizer and nodded slightly to the three seniors.
"Those three teachers, I'll go up first. See you this afternoon."
"Wait!" Dai Shutao was about to turn around when Qi Hemei shouted sharply, making Lu Sheng and Luo Guangming frown.
"Your name is Dai Shutao, right? Don't be so arrogant at such a young age. Don't think that just because you're filming a commercial with the three of us, it means you're capable. Young man, it's better to be humble."
Dai Shutao was confused after hearing this. She turned around and looked at Qi Hemei, only then did she realize the unstoppable sharpness in the woman.
Dai Shutao now understood that Qi Hemei's anger was probably directed at her. Although she didn't know what she had done to make this old senior so angry, Dai Shutao was not a soft persimmon that could be easily bullied, especially a so-called senior like this who had no artistic ethics.
"Senior Qi, right?"
Dai Shutao took off the light-colored sunglasses on her nose. Her almond-shaped eyes were outlined with a sharp arc by eyeliner, and paired with a pair of red lips, her words also carried a hint of arrogance.
"You can't think you've grown in skill just because you've gotten older. After all these years, your skills haven't improved. Just because you're older, you think you're a veteran artist. But Senior Qi, which of your songs is preserved in the Times Phonograph Museum? Are there any of those bragging you did all those years ago?"
Before leaving, Xiao Xu specially found the information of all the predecessors to make it easier for Dai Shutao to identify them.
As for Qi Hemei's musical works, Dai Shutao also listened to a few of them. It was said that they were her most popular musical works at that time, but they sounded a bit unremarkable.
There is no novelty, it is not outstanding enough, and even the singing is a bit mediocre. It is only with the melody of the music that the mediocrity is barely covered up.
In other words, from the beginning, Qi Hemei has no strength at all, and now she is using the word "strength" to boast about others, which is really ridiculous.
"you!"
Qi Hemei's face changed. She didn't expect Dai Shutao to refute her in front of so many people. She thought that an artist like Dai Shutao would endure it for the sake of appearances even if he was angry. She didn't expect that the other party would directly fight back.
"What did I say wrong?" Dai Shutao slowly flicked the nonexistent dust off her clothes and said calmly, "If I said something wrong, you can point it out to me, but I won't accept unwarranted accusations, and..."
The woman raised her head, and the sharpness in her eyes was hard to ignore.
"Just nonsense to vent personal emotions."
Qi Hemei's face was distorted by Dai Shutao's words, and her lips painted with red lipstick moved unnaturally, forming a strange arc.
At this moment, she was shaking constantly, with anger boiling in her heart. Her eyes were wide open, bulging like frog eyes, which made Lu Sheng, who was beside her, move away a few steps without leaving a trace, for fear that he would get into trouble.
She is a veteran artist!
Once had thousands of fans!
The most important thing is that she is a senior. Why would a young girl like Dai Shutao, who has only been in the industry for a few years, question herself!
The point is... apart from being too straightforward, there's nothing wrong with what Dai Shutao said.
Qi Hemei has continued to sing over the years, but most of the time she relies on her old works, such as packaging her past works and performing them a second time.
Most of those who buy into her are adult fans who have fond memories of her. If Qi Hemei hadn't been promoting herself as a veteran artist, she would still be living in a rented apartment eating instant noodles. How could she have the good life she has now?
It was precisely because of the unspeakable guilt in her heart that Qi Hemei did not continue to rage, but instead watched Dai Shutao walk further and further away.
