……

The following day, unsurprisingly, the topic of the singing competition became a trending topic.

Liu Yiming didn't try to create a stir; instead, he obediently issued an apology statement. However, no one cared about him anymore. People were more concerned about whether Deng Qiqi and Yuri would sign with Qiuye Yanxuan, and Ye Xian's new song "Dream Chaser".

"Neither of their contracts were particularly troublesome; the penalty for breach of contract was around 400 million each. Their management company hadn't anticipated that they would reach the finals, so they didn't have time to revise their contracts, and the two of them dragged their feet on signing new contracts with the company."

Ding Zhan, holding the investigation materials of several people, reported to the leader: "None of the three have any bad habits, no scandals, and no negative comments. Deng Qiqi and Yuri are trainees, and Ogura Watami has always been a small blogger. I feel they can all be signed."

"What are their personal thoughts?"

Ye Xian was putting on makeup. Since he joined the cast of "Hello Mr. Billionaire," the crew had been working at full speed to try and get the film released during the Spring Festival. So, although he didn't seem to have any other miscellaneous work, his schedule was still quite tight.

The recent weight gain plan is going well, and with the makeup artist's skillful touch, it's basically possible to portray Wang Duoyu's greasy man appearance quite well. The rest is up to his acting skills.

The acting techniques in TV dramas are different from those in movies. They place higher demands on details such as micro-expressions and emotions, and Ye Xian has been under a lot of pressure lately.

The hot-tempered Director Li completely disregarded Ye Xian's status as an investor, and he relentlessly criticized Ye Xian for any shortcomings.

"Ogura has no objections to the contract. Yuri and Deng Qiqi both said that it would be best if we could buy out the contract, and they are willing to sign a long-term contract with us. If we cannot buy out the contract, then we hope that we will not just sign a short-term cooperation agreement."

In many talent shows, the trainees are already under management contracts. In such cases, the organizer will sign a short-term contract with the other party's management company to jointly develop the artist. This way, the organizer does not need to spend a lot of money to buy out the contract or bear the long-term training costs.

This leads to a situation where small agencies have no say, completely follow the organizer's arrangements, maximize the exploitation of artists' potential, constantly rush to participate in commercial activities, and completely overdraw their future.

This is also why many talent shows produce contestants who reach their peak immediately upon debut.

Few companies would dedicate themselves to cultivating Yang Jinli's career as meticulously as Yang Jinli's management company.

Yuri and Deng Qiqi's concerns stemmed from this very reason.

They were very willing to join Qiuye Selection, but they couldn't guess whether Ye Xian was willing to spend 400 million to buy out their contracts. That's why they suggested that if they were to sign a cooperation agreement, they hoped it wouldn't be a short-term one.

Ye Xian thought for a moment and said, "Let's take them on. These three are all promising talents. Qiuye Selection needs more high-potential individuals."

Ye Xian's streamer matrix plan aims to incubate more top streamers.

Ye Xian originally intended to sign a short-term contract with the other party, so that he could cooperate with more brokerage companies and leverage more resources to help him sell goods.

Seeing these promising talents, Ye Xian no longer wanted to simply sign them to short-term contracts.

"After the buyout, we will sign a strategic cooperation agreement with the other party's agency and regularly invite their artists to our live broadcast room."

Ding Zhan expressed his understanding, saying that Ye Xian's most valuable resources right now, besides his original songs, are his guest appearances on "Evening Chat Around the Fire".

Many talent agencies and MCN organizations would practically shower Ding Zhan with money just to get their artists on Ye Xian's "Evening Chat Around the Fire" or have them do a live stream together.

Yes, they knocked Ding Zhan unconscious because they knew that Ye Xian was not short of money at all.

Therefore, the only breakthrough point is Ding Zhan.

Despite so many temptations, Ding Zhan remained unmoved.

What a joke! I'm a shareholder in the winery now, why would I be swayed by such petty gains?

They're seriously underestimating me, the blind God of War.

……

After entrusting the three-person contract to Ding Zhan, Ye Xian finished her makeup and got up to start filming her new movie.

This drama still adopted the format of filming and live streaming simultaneously, which attracted many fans and passersby. However, when everyone saw Ye Xian's weathered face and his transformation into a greasy middle-aged man, they couldn't help but burst into laughter.

[Green Carp and Donkey: Brother Xian said he was gaining weight like crazy, I thought he was going to play some kind of special role, but I didn't expect him to be a greasy middle-aged man!]

[Best Concealment Award: That belly, is it fake? Even if you gained weight, it's impossible to have such a big belly so quickly.]

[Reincarnated as a Foundation: I never expected the female lead in the new film to be Li Xin. Sure enough, Brother Xian's true love is Brother Xin.]

[Kun's Secret: Don't talk nonsense, the proprietress is watching.]

……

Seeing someone in the live stream calling her "boss lady," Qiu Qing's face darkened. She grabbed her phone and unleashed a torrent of abuse on Chen Xu: "It's all your fault for having such a big mouth! Now the whole internet is calling me 'boss lady'!"

"Isn't that exactly what you wanted?"

Chen Xu replied instantly.

The problem is, I'm not one yet!

Qiu Qing's relationship with Chen Xu and others is getting better and better, and they are becoming more and more relaxed when they chat.

"It's okay, if you keep saying it, you'll be one."

Chen Xu was munching on sunflower seeds while typing away rapidly.

Her filming had wrapped up, and she was currently touring around with Li Hong, participating in various variety shows to boost her fame. Bored, she saw Qiu Qing's message and almost mercilessly exposed her: "Besides, are you sure you're not just showing off to me? Trying to impress me by saying your status has been recognized by everyone?"

Qiu Qing felt all the blood rush to her head: "Chen Xu!!!"

Chen Xu chuckled, tossed his phone aside, and boasted to Li Hong, "Another day of successfully bullying the boss's wife."

Li Hong was both amused and exasperated: "You're already calling her 'boss lady,' so you should be a little more careful, lest she make things difficult for you every day after she marries Xian-ge."

Chen Xu spat out the sunflower seed shells from his mouth: "Make me bow down to her? Dream on! I'd rather kneel and lick Brother Xian's boots every day!"

"oh--"

Li Hong, with a strange look on her face, drawled out, "So you want to fawn over Brother Xian every day, huh!"

Chen Xu immediately realized he had said the wrong thing and lunged at Li Hong, yelling, "I didn't mean that! Don't spread rumors about me!"

Li Hong chuckled and said, "If you want me to stop spreading rumors, let's see what you can use to shut me up!"

While tickling her, Chen Xu chuckled and said, "How about I get Brother Xian to shut you up?"

"Hehe, you should shut your thirsty little mouth first, then I won't compete with you for Brother Xian!"

The two girls were laughing and joking around, while Qiu Qing, in the distance, angrily threw her phone aside.

That Chen Xu, how dare he not reply to my messages!

Turning my head, I saw Ye Xian and Li Xin filming a scene with tender affection.

I'm even angrier!
