After offending capital, my songs became more and more popular.

Chapter 55 was criticized and became a trending topic. The production team said: You're so high and mighty!
"Oh dear..."

"Hakiling, you...you!"

Inside the roundtable conference room, Director Niu's face twitched, his lips twitched wildly, and in his mind, countless alpacas were galloping through his mind, trampling Ma Ling in every way imaginable!

Why the hell are they inviting Hong Kong singers?!

Is this an idea even humanly capable of coming up with?!

He understood what Ma Ling meant. Wasn't she afraid that the guests would object to the "Hong Kong Music" theme? Wasn't she afraid that they would cause trouble? So she specially invited a group of veteran Hong Kong music singers to participate in the singers' creation and performance in a "singer-singer" format, similar to the previous "Youth Campus" theme.

The regular singers on the show don't understand Cantonese, but the veteran Hong Kong singers they invite do!
When the program invites Hong Kong singers, they can add an additional condition: each of them should bring a song, and the singers they'll be helping can participate in making changes to the arrangement on the spot. This way, the song can be credited to both of them, which is practically the same as using the song directly!
In this way, the singer guests practically didn't need to create anything this episode; it was almost like the production team was giving them a free gift, providing them with a ready-made song to sing...

If they still dare to have any objections, then the production team will just take them to court.

Moreover, this is not only a benefit for the regular singers and guests, but also another tactic targeting Shen Ming'en.

It should be noted that the production team could have invited a Hong Kong singer to each of the other singers, euphemistically calling it "their own favors," but by not inviting Shen Mingen, they could have said that Shen Mingen himself "lacked connections."

Everyone knows Shen Mingen's reputation in the industry, everyone knows how many investors he has offended, and everyone knows whether anyone has come to his aid!

Everyone else is inviting people, it's not like we're stopping him from doing so. If he can't invite people himself, whose fault is it?

If you can't ask others to come, then do it yourself!
At that time, the other singers will have the support of veteran Hong Kong singers and their works, while Shen Ming'en, alone, will have to create a song with the theme of "Cantonese" and incorporate elements of revolutionary songs...

Tell me, why should Hajime win?!
These top directors all know this...

He can see it all clearly!
But the problem is...

Inviting Hong Kong singers is free?!
They don't want appearance fees or speaking fees?!
You, Ma Ling, are going to pay this money?!

So what about this...?

"..."

Ma Ling remained silent, simply crossing her arms over her chest and gazing at Director Niu with a beaming smile.

That expression seemed to say, "You know what's going on."

Sparrows eat it.

Director Niu knew exactly what was going on and understood Ma Ling's meaning.

Thanks to Shen Ming'en, their "Chinese Music Show Center" achieved tremendous success in attracting sponsors, with countless big names scrambling to collaborate with them...

The longer Shen Mingen stays for this episode, the more money their production team can make!
And this money was basically pocketed by their company alone...

Yes, Sparrow Food, and Ruixing Entertainment, the company behind Ma Ling, also participated in the investment of "Chinese Music Show Center" and were one of the investors. The business was a huge success in attracting investment, and their company also made money. However, their company's share of the profits...

Very low!

The initial collaboration on this program was based on a favor, and frankly, the company behind Director Niu took the lion's share.

As Shen Mingen's agency, Ruixing Entertainment should theoretically have made more money from Shen Mingen's success; they should be the main force behind it!
But wasn't that because Shen Ming'en refused to cooperate with them?!
He's got a ton of gigs, but he's not going to take this one!
Not only Ruixing Entertainment, but he ignores all other capital and companies that want to cooperate with him to make money!
This has resulted in the company behind Director Niu practically "monopolizing" everything!
Ma Ling meant, on the one hand, that it wasn't good for them to "eat alone" like this, and that they should give some of it back; on the other hand, she was also warning them that continuing to eat alone like this would not do them any good.

We'll cooperate with them to eliminate Shen Ming'en, let him realize his mistakes first, and make him honestly choose to cooperate with capital. Then we'll have no objection to inviting him back...

But if we continue to monopolize this business, it might not just be Ruixing Entertainment this time. Other capital firms will follow suit. Do you really think your production team will be the one to benefit?
We're all in the same circle, don't go too far. "..."

A moment of silence.

"Sigh..." Director Niu sighed silently and said bluntly, "Then let's leave it at that."

While speaking, Director Niu's eyes swept over Zhou Yang, who was not far away. At that moment, Director Niu was so angry that he almost threw the cup next to him at Zhou Yang on the spot.

Your mother!

Zhou Yang is so arrogant. If he hadn't insisted on bringing up the other guests' opinions, how could Ma Ling have suggested spending more money to invite veteran Hong Kong singers to help out?

He keeps coming up with terrible ideas, even worse than Shen Ming'en, that troublemaker!
Zhou Yang didn't dare to lift his head or even breathe loudly...

Little did he know that Ma Ling would be so difficult to deal with!

In short.

In any case, the details for the next phase have been settled.

Perhaps because of the continued popularity of Shen Ming'en's "Wanjiang" in the previous episode, the topic of "[Cantonese]" quickly rose to the top of the trending search list on various platforms shortly after the official Weibo account of the "Chinese Music Awards" program revealed it.

[Cantonese...Hong Kong music?]

The netizens who saw the trending topic were initially taken aback, but then instantly understood the show's intentions...

【Wait, is this targeting my Hagion again?】

After realizing this, there wasn't much entertainment this time; instead, there was a barrage of criticism!
[Those who don't know the situation might think that our Emperor Ming En dug up your production team's ancestral graves, is it really necessary to target us like this?]

[Your show is truly heartless. How many extra ads did you get on the last episode because of Shen Ming'en? The host was practically tearing his throat reading the ad copy, and you still call that targeting him?!]

[9494, I'm a Super VIP member and I still got two minutes of ads! The ads practically filled the entire screen, and the ad duration is almost longer than my lifespan! They've made so much money off others, and you guys are still targeting them? Don't you have any conscience?!]

[This is outrageous! I wish I could hold Harkin in my hands and keep him in my mouth!]

[Shen Ming'en: Cough, um, sister, well... sparrow food doesn't really need to be held in your mouth, okay...]

【What the hell?! You can even drive on this crappy road?!】

【I'll take it! I'll take it!】

[Wow! This is outrageous! They'll stop at nothing to get a good account, huh?!]

……

They've gone mad with anger!
The production team of "Chinese Music Awards" never expected that the topic for this episode would provoke such angry criticism from netizens!

That very night, they were so badly criticized that they became the number one trending topic!

When Director Niu checked the trending topics list that night, he was stunned and felt like the sky had fallen!
