Chapter Sixteen

  "Not only that, there are many more benefits to being a resident singer in a bar, but the biggest benefit is actually..." Lei Jin smiled, "being able to meet star scouts like you who come with a purpose."

  Her small eyes widened in an instant.

  But immediately he regained his composure, and in a tone as lofty as ever: "How did you find out?"

  "You've been following Luo Fei for a week," said Li Jin. "Always sitting in the seat closest to the stage, with no one accompanying you by your side. You look very busy, constantly making or receiving calls, or lowering your head to look at your phone, but every time Luo Fei goes on stage, all your calls miraculously stop. Several times, you even recorded a few of Luo Fei's original songs."

  "Your eyes are really useful, it's so dark in this place and you can still see everything." The small-eyed person sneered, "However, you're a bit too confident. I'm not some kind of star scout, you guessed wrong."

  This time, Li Jin was shocked.

  "No matter how confident you are in yourself, you wouldn't really want to sing in a bar for the rest of your life, would you?" Xiao Yan stood up, holding out a business card between her thumb and index finger, handing it over with a light smile. "I'm Bai Fuming, director of 'China's New Sound Generation'. If you're interested, get in touch with me."

  "Xiao Jin." After finishing his performance, Kou Fei walked towards Li Jin while drinking water, "Who is that person?"

  He pointed at Beifeng Ming who had just left.

  Li Jing lightly pinched the business card in her hand, her teeth slowly and forcefully moving.

  "Opportunity." He replied with a faint smile.

  The ninth floor of Xinhuo Weishi Building.

  The door of the tea house was pushed open with a "hoh" sound, and a man of medium build walked out first.

  He held a blue folder in one hand and a long-sleeved suit that had just been taken off in the other, with his slightly long hair tied back in a knot, full of artistic bacteria all over his body.

  "Leave the budget to me." He turned back and said to the woman who was following closely behind.

  "I'll try my best, but please, Director Qin, control the budget this time and don't go over again." Lin Xin said lightly, wearing a light yellow OL suit.

  The long-haired man is Qin Yige, the general director of this "China Star Voice Generation". There are not many directors in the Asian entertainment circle, but if you want to mention a genius director recognized by everyone, it must be Qin Yige.

  At the age of 20, when he was still a student in the directing department of a film academy, he made his debut with an art film and swept away the best new director awards at various major film festivals that year, also receiving a special scholarship for that semester. Afterwards, his filmmaking career took off unstoppable, rapidly rising to become a leading figure among sixth-generation directors with a pace of one film per year. By the time he was 30, he had already won all possible awards, and even received the best new actor award that year due to a cameo appearance in a certain film. However, at the peak of his career, he suddenly disappeared from public view.

  Three years later, he made a glorious comeback with the national hit talent show "Supermodel Era", which lasted for half a year. The exquisite production, interesting program arrangement, and good promotion methods... pushed the domestic modeling industry, which was originally quiet, to the forefront of the masses. Within four months, the audience's attention was occupied by the charming models. It is said that after the second year of high school entrance exams, the number of applicants for modeling majors doubled compared to previous years. Qin Yige also abandoned all his achievements in the film industry and turned to the television planning circle.

  This time, "China Star Voice" was released and immediately attracted a swarm of media attention. As is well known, this is not only Qin Yige's first work in two years, but also the last music talent show approved before the General Administration issued the "Limited Singing Order". In recent years, music talent shows have been rampant, and the General Administration has long since issued the "Limited Singing Order", forcing all music programs currently in production to be shelved. The staff of the General Administration also understood the spirit and stopped approving any music programs several months ago. Various households tried every means to get on the last train but failed, but it is said that the staff only let it pass because the general director of this talent show was Qin Yige.

  No more, Qin Yige is the guarantee of quality.

  The behind-the-scenes team of this draft has followed Qin Yige for many years, and everyone cooperates with each other seamlessly, so the quality is naturally not to be worried about. The broadcast platform chose Xinghuo Satellite TV, which has risen rapidly in recent years. Since Xinghuo Satellite TV was acquired by Li Yihe's Li Group five years ago, this television station on the verge of bankruptcy was reborn, and in the past two years, it has also ranked first in domestic satellite TV ratings.

  The only unstable factor is Qin Yige.

  Yes, in outsiders' eyes, Qin Yige is a genius and a famous director, but to those around him, he's simply a thorough nightmare!

  Since filming, Qin Yige never knew what a script was, always shooting on impulse. This habit also carried over to his program planning. It is said that when hosting "Supermodel Era", Qin Yige did not follow the rules and the program ended up costing twice the budget. If it weren't for the advertising revenue and subsequent influence that made the organizers rich, Qin Yige might have been banned from working in television forever. This time, although Starfire Satellite TV took on the hosting rights of "China's New Voice Generation", they had anticipated being unable to control this big event, so they specially invited CEO assistant Lin Xin to take charge.

  It was just unexpected that Lin Xin had only been there for two days when the staff of Xinghuo Weishi handed her a budget report with a crying face.

  The report clearly states that the original budget was used up in the sea election stage, considering the quality of subsequent programs, hoping to add twice the investment.

  Lin Xing knew that the advertising fees for the show had already covered their costs before it was even broadcast, and now they were just unwilling to spend their own money, so they were crying to the boss. No big deal, since she was there to assist, she could naturally help them convey their opinions to Mr. Li, but the consequences... weren't something she could predict.

  "I don't want to go overboard either, otherwise you help me negotiate with the higher-ups, don't make it the best draft in history, let's just get by, I won't add a single cent to the budget, how about that?" Qin Yige wasn't afraid of not having money, he came from a wealthy family, and money was just a number to him. Besides, although the program spent a lot of money at first, he had confidence that after it ended, he could help the organizers recover more than five times their investment.

  "Stop it." Lin Xin helplessly glared at him.

  She has known Li Yi Heng for a long time and is also considered half friends with Qin Yi Ge.

  "Don't worry, Xiao Xin. Your boss has plenty of money. Even if the budget is increased tenfold, he can still afford it." Qin Yige smiled and tilted his head, his gaze sweeping to the end of the corridor, where the lounge was located, when he suddenly froze.

  Today is the third round of "Chinese Star Voice" auditions, where countless young people with music dreams, wanting to be famous, or with various purposes have gathered as a waiting area.

  Among them, some will be personally promoted by him to the pinnacle of attention in the next few months.

  Qin Yige lifted her foot and slowly walked towards them.

  "Don't be nervous, just pretend you're singing in a bar." Far away, the young man wearing a simple T-shirt stretched out his arm and seriously helped his friend in front of him to tidy up his collar. "The audience changed from a large crowd to four people, you earn more."

  "Heh heh." The boy looked down, scratching his head in embarrassment, and smiled.

  The sunlight slanted in from the ventilation window on the side of the building, casting a warm golden light on the young man's hairy hand. The youth gently grasped his hand, with a determined look: "Don't worry, I won't let you down!"

  There were also people around him who encouraged him so gently.

  And how did he respond?

  "This is our key focus, Luo Fei." someone whispered beside him.

  What's wrong?

  Qin Yige slightly closed her eyes for a moment, then turned to ask Bei Fuming beside her: "Is it the kid who plays guitar and sings that you brought back?"

  There will be two updates today.
