Chapter 612

"Actually, the commission we offered him at the time was very high, but he still didn't agree. Perhaps he wanted to wait until he became famous before asking for a high price." The vice president's tone was a bit disdainful. "I didn't expect this kid to be so lucky as to win Best Male Singer directly. I originally thought he could at most win a Newcomer Award."

"Regardless of whether he's asking for a high price, we must keep this person!"

Signing an artist who had already achieved success, even if you give him a little more commission, is more cost-effective than pouring resources into a newcomer who you don't know will become a hit.

Businessmen are profit-driven. If Guo Qishan is willing to spend a high price to sign Yun Shuo back, he can guarantee a steady profit.

Nowadays, it's becoming increasingly difficult for newcomers in the entertainment industry to stand out. Unless it's a manager who is specifically good at operations and understands the artist's highlights, the response of most newcomers is very average, and becoming a huge hit is even more impossible.

He had been in the industry for so many years and had indeed encountered exceptions.

For example, Xu Tian...

Thinking of this kid, his mood became restless.

If he had known that Guo Zhihao would spit out the fat meat that was already in his mouth, he would never have been so anxious to let him parachute into Qingguo.

It's just a pity that it's too late to say these things now. To compensate for the loss caused by Xu Tian's departure, he had to spend money to promote newcomers.

"Sun Tong, there must be no mistakes in this matter."

"Understood!" Vice President Sun Tong nodded. "I will definitely do my best to meet his requirements."

Guo Qishan knew it wasn't that simple and urged: "Our offer must be higher than Giant Star's. Hurry up and find out what price they are preparing to offer."

"Understood!"

Guo Zhihao heard the conversation between Guo Qishan and Sun Tong, rolled his eyes, and whispered to Guo Qishan.

"Second Uncle, let me handle this? I guarantee I'll sign him back for you."

It would have been better if Guo Zhihao hadn't spoken. As soon as he did, Guo Qishan was infuriated: "You stay put! If you mess this up, get out! You idiot who can't accomplish anything but ruins everything!"

"Second Uncle, aren't your requirements for me too harsh? How did I fail to accomplish anything?" Guo Zhihao was still unconvinced. "I brought out Huang Yawen, the Most Anticipated Newcomer, this time. I'm a contributor to the group!"

"You still have the face to say that?" Guo Qishan was so angry that his breathing became heavy. If it weren't for the fact that they were at the awards ceremony and surrounded by people, he might have ignored his image and jumped over to kick him.

Seeing that the uncle and nephew were about to quarrel, Sun Tong hurriedly shut his mouth and stopped speaking. He didn't want to be caught in the middle and suffer.

No matter how useless Guo Zhihao was, he was Guo Qishan's family after all. It was best for him, a subordinate, not to get involved, lest he be resented.

Actually, he also felt quite regretful about Xu Tian's departure. Although Guo Qishan's purpose in using Xu Tian was not pure, Xu Tian's performance really made everyone's eyes light up.

If Guo Zhihao hadn't come out to stir up trouble, perhaps Qingguo Music could have won several heavy-hitting awards at this Golden Melody Awards.

For a boss, talent is the most important thing.

And Xu Tian was the kind of rare talent.

Now that Xu Tian's company had brought out Murong Xue and won Best Musical Actress, his situation in the entertainment industry would definitely be much better than it was now.

If Guo Qishan hadn't favored his nephew at the beginning but chose to keep him, all these awards today would have been Tian Feng Entertainment's.

It just so happened that Guo Zhihao, this "A Dou" who couldn't be lifted, was Guo Qishan's own nephew. He couldn't be beaten or scolded. Even if Guo Qishan regretted it now, he could only swallow his teeth mixed with blood.

If it were him, he probably wouldn't have such a good temper and would have kicked Guo Zhihao out of the company long ago.

"Now, please invite the Best Male Singer of our 37th Golden Melody Awards to give an acceptance speech!"

The presenter's voice rang out, attracting the attention of the guests present back to the stage.

The heads of those agencies were all eager to try, planning to rush over to snatch the person as soon as Yun Shuo stepped off the stage.

The high-end custom suit Yun Shuo wore today was reserved by Xu Tian using his own quota and the brand. It was purely handmade, with carefully designed kirin patterns and crushed diamonds at the collar, luxurious yet low-key, adding a bit of steadiness to Yun Shuo's temperament.

"Mr. Yun Shuo, your first album has won you the Golden Melody Best Male Singer award. Did you anticipate this result before?"

Because it was one of the most prestigious awards of the entire Golden Melody Awards, before the acceptance speech, the host would conduct a brief interview with the winner.

Actually, this was a trap question designed by the organizers for buzz and traffic.

If Yun Shuo answered that he didn't expect to win, it would mean he had no confidence in his work.

But if he answered that he felt he would win, as a newcomer who had only released one album, it would appear very arrogant.

In short, no matter how he answered, he would be caught by intentional media to magnify a point, take it out of context, and make a big deal out of it.

The audience quieted down, and everyone looked at Yun Shuo, waiting for his answer.

"Every song in this album was written and composed by me, so I have great confidence in it. The Golden Melody Awards being able to present this award to me is an affirmation of my creative ability. I am very honored."

Yun Shuo deflected the question, not answering his expectations for the award itself directly, but instead leading the topic to the album.

"I told you... he definitely has someone guiding him behind the scenes..."

"He was actually able to answer such a trap-filled question flawlessly, and even secretly increased everyone's expectations for his album."

"Just watch, after today, his album will be sold out again."

"It seems Mr. Yun Shuo has great confidence in his work. Then, regarding winning this award, do you have anything else to say to those who support you?"

Finally, it was time for the acceptance speech segment.

Yun Shuo looked at the audience with the microphone, his wrists trembling slightly.

He wasn't nervous; instead, he was a bit excited.

Being a singer had always been his dream. Once, this dream was out of reach for him. Now, he was actually standing on the Golden Melody Awards stage, one step closer to his dream.

Xu Tian, sitting in the audience, looked at Yun Shuo, who was in high spirits holding the trophy, and recalled the miserable and down-and-out ending of the other party in his previous life, feeling a bit emotional.

Unknowingly, the memories of his previous life had become blurred to him, but that deep-seated hatred remained.

He swore to make those who harmed him in his previous life pay the corresponding price.

"I am very grateful to the Golden Melody Awards for giving me this opportunity, grateful to the judging panel, grateful to the fans who like and support me, and grateful to my family and friends."

Yun Shuo's generous and proud speech won him a lot of favor.

"Next, I also want to specifically thank a friend."

What?

The audience pricked up their ears, looking like they were waiting to hear gossip.

Generally, when an artist emphasizes a person on such an occasion, it means that this person is very important to him.
