Chapter 477

"Since that's the case, let's each take a step back. In view of Mr. Lin's talent, we will let bygones be bygones regarding your previous wild words."

However, before this music director could finish displaying his magnanimity,

Lin Yu raised his hand to interrupt.

"Sorry, I want to retract that last statement."

Seeing Lin Yu's attitude of truly softening and lowering his head,

the three music representatives' expressions softened slightly.

They thought to themselves, at least this kid knows how to be sensible, knows the big picture, and is a good young man for admitting his mistakes.

However, the next moment,

"I just thought about it carefully."

"Songwriting, arrangement, mixing—I don't need you at all."

"As for MV production, I have my own film and television company."

"In terms of distribution and release, I also have my own connections."

"Now that I think about it, even a 10/90 split would be a loss for me."

Lin Yu fiddled with his fingers and calculated seriously.

Upon hearing this,

the three music directors almost spat out a mouthful of old blood, their faces turning purple with rage.

They pointed tremblingly at Lin Yu, their lips moving, but they couldn't squeeze out a word for a long time.

This speechless, helpless appearance made the audience below roar with laughter, unable to stop!

"Hahaha, I'm dying of laughter! Brother Yu is really too good at retorting. I feel like those three overbearing music directors are the ones feeling aggrieved now."

"Serves them right! Looking at their high-and-mighty appearance, they weren't here to talk about cooperation."

"Think about it carefully, what Lin Yu said actually makes a lot of sense. From 'Lanting Xu' to the current 'Wan Song Jiang', all the lyrics, arrangements, and post-production were basically handled by Lin Yu alone. For such an all-around independent musician, these music platforms really can't provide any help in terms of creation."

"Exactly, and Lin Yu also has Universal Film and Television Company. The short dramas he's filming now are booming. Let alone filming an MV, I bet filming a full-length drama wouldn't be a problem."

"It's true. Lin Yu has his own industries, and he definitely has his own connections for distribution. And according to rumors, Lin Yu's background is incredibly powerful—maybe even stronger than the three music giants combined."

"Hey! Calculating it this way, this 10/90 split really is a loss for Lin Yu, just as he said!"

"Lin Yu: If you mess with me, you've kicked a steel plate. Other artists might respect you three points, but in front of me, all beings are equal."

"......"

Hearing the constant roar of laughter from below,

the usually arrogant and domineering three music directors were trembling with rage.

"Fine, very well."

"Lin Yu, you said it well."

"Let's go."

After throwing down these words,

the three music company representatives left the stage in a huff.

Their venomous gazes were practically locked onto Lin Yu.

You're awesome, right?

No matter how awesome you are, no matter how powerful your connections are, you still need a platform to release your songs.

When the time comes, don't say we didn't show mercy; even if you kneel down and beg us, it'll be useless.

Seeing the ashamed and angry music directors leave, the audience let out another round of jeers.

The guest judges.

"As expected of Lin Yu, he really dares to speak, and he has the foundation to back it up~"

"So envious."

Whether it's Xue Xue Zhiqian, Da Da Zhangwei, or Deng Deng Ziqi, these first-tier singers, when facing capital,

mostly have to compromise and be subservient.

Even the red-hot Xue Xue Zhiqian only opens a hot pot restaurant and doesn't dare to step into the capital of the domestic entertainment industry.

And Deng Deng Ziqi had it even worse; after falling out with her original agency, there was a long period where she wasn't even allowed to use her own stage name.

Seeing Lin Yu stand so tall and lash out at the capital executives, everyone felt refreshed.

Li Li Zhien, meanwhile, had eyes full of disbelief. In the Korean entertainment industry, artists have very low status.

They have even become toys for the chaebols.

They can only accept their fate and struggle to survive.

They only earn hard-earned money.

She didn't expect that coming to the domestic entertainment scene would be such an eye-opener.

She became even more curious about Lin Yu's mysterious background.

"Ahem, ahem."

"Let's respect Mr. Lin Yu's choice."

"Moving on to the next item."

"We invite the Vice President of Sujiang TV to present the Eve Gala invitation to Lin Yu."

Li Hao pretended to be calm and bit the bullet to continue hosting.

Upon hearing this,

the audience erupted in cheers and applause.

Singers, like actors, need works to back them up and need popularity and traffic to support them.

Currently, besides some music variety shows,

the most valuable things are the annual holiday galas.

For example, the eye-catching Mid-Autumn Eve Gala, New Year's Eve Eve Gala, or the Spring Festival Eve Gala are places many singers yearn for to increase their fame.

So the fans below were happy for Lin Yu when they saw he could receive an invitation.

Being able to hear Lin Yu's live performance during the holidays could be considered a blessing.

Backstage.

After seeing the voting results,

the top leadership of Sujiang TV was clearly reluctant, but upon learning that the song Lin Yu sang had been requisitioned by the national team, they were instantly overjoyed.

Although they couldn't get the copyright to the song!

They could repeatedly broadcast the segment of Lin Yu's competition on Sujiang TV, and could even use it as a promotional song for the local tourism bureau.

Because the copyright of the show was held by Sujiang TV.

I'm broadcasting my own show, there's no problem with that, right?

This loophole-exploiting tactic was very low, but as long as there was money and profit, it didn't matter to the station's leadership.

"It is an honor to present this award to Mr. Lin. On behalf of Sujiang TV, I sincerely invite you to participate in the recording of the Mid-Autumn Eve Gala, New Year's Eve Eve Gala, and the Spring Festival Eve Gala."

"This is the invitation we have prepared for you."

The Vice President of Sujiang TV spoke to Lin Yu, but his gaze was fixed on the camera, without showing a shred of respect.

This made Li Hao, standing beside him, frown deeply.

His right eyelid was twitching violently!

This award presentation was too sloppy; he didn't even have the intention to shake Lin Yu's hand. Isn't this looking down on people too much?

But he was helpless and couldn't say anything.

After all, this was a high-level leader of the station, and his status was there.

Putting on airs was just his daily way of dealing with people.

"I refuse."

After hearing Lin Yu's words,

the Vice President of Sujiang TV, who had been smiling at the camera a second ago, couldn't smile anymore.

He looked down on Lin Yu, but at least he had been holding the invitation with both hands in a decent manner.

But Lin Yu's expression was indifferent, his arms hanging down, not even intending to move.

The reminder from Director Che Ze earlier...
