Mr. He listened, a smile appeared on his face, and he chuckled, "I can definitely help you out with that anger. Hehe, I’ll make sure you feel avenged."
"Oh?"
Fatty Wang’s face lit up with excitent after hearing this. "Mr. He, you better not be lying to . What can you do to help deal with them?"
Mr. He laughed, "Just a simple stratagem, and I can ensure that Chu Xiaoran is completely discredited. Just watch."
Having said that, Mr. He, with Fatty Wang, found the person responsible for the comrcial performance and smiled, "Mr. Liu, I have a suggestion. I don’t know if you’d like to hear it?"
Mr. Liu knew that Mr. He was the owner of a talent agency and had a wealth of experience in organizing comrcial performances. He had been invited this ti also because they wanted his guidance.
So when Mr. He spoke, Mr. Liu quickly said, "Of course, of course. What suggestions does Mr. He have?"
Mr. He smiled and said, "The star you’ve invited this ti is a little celebrity nad Chu Xiaoran, right?"
Mr. Liu nodded, "Yes. Although Chu Xiaoran is not very famous yet, she has great potential and has already gathered a group of very loyal fans.
Moreover, her style fits very well with our industry. Inviting her over this ti was after considering many factors. She seems to be the perfect choice."
Mr. He glanced at Chu Xiaoran, who was getting her makeup done in another corner of the backstage. A sinister light flashed deep in his eyes before he smiled and said, "I also have high hopes for this little celebrity, but..."
Mr. He paused, a worried look in his eyes, and continued, "Chu Xiaoran is more of an idol than a vocalist. The comrcial performance this ti is quite important. If she sses up, that would be bad."
"My suggestion is to pre-record the songs and have Chu Xiaoran lip-sync. If we do that, then we can guarantee the success of this comrcial performance without fail."
Fatty Wang’s face imdiately revealed joy upon hearing this, and he was extrely impressed with Mr. He.
This was a poisonously subtle sche!
If sothing were to happen during Chu Xiaoran’s lip-sync performance, causing her fans to discover she was lip-syncing, then her career would be completely ruined!
After all, this has to do with a singer’s fundantal reputation.
The event’s organizer, Mr. Liu, laughed heartily upon hearing Mr. He’s suggestion and gave him a thumbs up, "Mr. He, your strategy is brilliant. If you hadn’t ntioned it, it would have never occurred to . I’ll go arrange it right now."
Mr. Liu cared about the quality of the comrcial performance, not whether lip-syncing was right or not.
Seeing Mr. Liu leave, Fatty Wang and Mr. He exchanged a look, both revealing a smug smile of a successful conspiracy.
...
After receiving Mr. He’s "brilliant plan,"
Mr. Liu promptly found Chu Xiaoran, who was getting ready with makeup, and said, "Xiao Ran, there’s sothing I want to discuss with you. When you go on stage later, we’ll arrange a lip-sync performance. You just need to lip-sync the words."
"What?"
While Chu Xiaoran was doing her makeup, she was stunned by Mr. Liu’s words and imdiately refused, "No, I can’t lip-sync!"
Chu Xiaoran was indignant. "I’m going to sing live on stage. That’s a basic professional ethic for a singer. If I lip-sync, that’s deceiving my fans. How could I do such a thing?"
Xiao Zheng nodded slightly upon hearing this.
He was also very interested in singing and his talent in this aspect was quite impressive, comparable to his talent in Martial Arts. Hence, he was more serious about these matters than most people.
Mr. Liu however, laughed and said, "Xiao Ran, stop making a fuss. It’s just lip-syncing; it’s not a big deal. Besides, the audience won’t know."
"No," Chu Xiaoran firmly shook her head.
Seeing this, Mr. Liu’s expression turned stern as he said, "Xiao Ran, I was speaking to you politely, but don’t think my words don’t carry weight. You’ve signed a contract with us.
You have a responsibility to cooperate with the organizer’s requests. You’ve seen the clauses. If you insist on doing this your own way, you will have to pay damages!"
"And if you insist on singing live and the on-site performance isn’t good, affecting the quality of the comrcial performance, what then?"
Mr. Liu’s expression had beco much more severe.
Chu Xiaoran huffed and turned her head away, ignoring Mr. Liu, "Even if it costs money, I won’t lip-sync. Ah Bai, let’s go!"
With that, she stood up, ready to leave.
Ah Bai panicked upon seeing this and hurriedly made ands to Mr. Liu with a smile, "Mr. Liu, don’t be angry, Xiao Ran is young and doesn’t know any better, spoiled by her family, and a bit childish.
I’ll talk to her, don’t worry. We will definitely agree to your company’s terms."
Mr. Liu, not wanting Chu Xiaoran to bail at the last minute which would ruin the performance, was ready to compromise. So hearing Ah Bai say this, he grunted and reluctantly nodded his head.
Then, Ah Bai pulled Chu Xiaoran aside and said, "My dear young lady, what are you playing at? It’s just a lip-sync, just agree to it."
Chu Xiaoran pouted, "I don’t want to."
Ah Bai shook his head helplessly, "You’re so stubborn. But you’re an adult now, you need to learn to adapt to the rules of society.
Life isn’t just black and white; it’s shades of grey. If you don’t learn to compromise, your dreams will never be fulfilled."
"Think about it. If you kick up a fuss and leave now, what would happen to your reputation? It’ll be ruined. After that, who would want to hire you, who would want a disobedient celebrity?"
"Moreover, the most important point is that you’ve signed a contract with the company. It’s your duty to follow their advice and help make the comrcial performance better!"
"Yes, not lip-syncing is indeed a basic quality of a singer. But as a celebrity, shouldn’t you also consider the interests of your partners?"
Ah Bai tried to persuade Chu Xiaoran with all his might and earnestness. At first, Chu Xiaoran had no intention of agreeing, but after hearing Ah Bai’s reasoning, she could only reluctantly agree.
"Fine, I’ll do it, lip-sync," said Chu Xiaoran, biting her lip, her eyes misting over, feeling aggrieved. Perhaps, this was the price of growing up, having to forsake certain things for the sake of a dream.
