Entertainment: Deyun’s young class leader? Sorry, quit

"Xiao Luan, I'll call you back later so we can discuss it."

The cost is in the tens of millions.

Knowing it would be difficult, Gao Feng hung up the phone first and then looked at his senior brother next to him to see if he would agree.

Guo Degang had no say in whether he would agree or not; the initiative was not in his hands at all, and he had to wait for Wang Hui to return.

As the troupe leader, he didn't own a single share of the Deyun Society.

But Gao Feng and Zheng Xu didn't know the specifics, and the latter suddenly spoke up.

"Do you think Guo Qilin is worth such a high fee? Ten million? Is that even possible? His market value is so high, making money from him is too easy. How much do we get per game?"

Gao Feng took a deep breath and began to analyze the situation carefully.

"Guess why he's called a 20 billion director and an all-around singer-songwriter? Da Lin is now incomparable to us; he's flourishing in film, television, and music."

Haven't you seen his TV dramas "Nirvana in Fire" and "The Storm"? They were both directed and acted by Da Lin. Including his recent album sales, which were overwhelmingly number one, it's no wonder he earned tens of millions.

They're the hottest fried chicken brand right now.

A few words left Zheng Xu speechless: he earns at most 30,000 to 40,000 yuan for a commercial performance, while Guo Qilin earns tens of millions—the difference is too great.

This caused a feeling of jealousy to arise in my heart; I wish I could be ten times better.

Then I can tell whatever stand-up comedy I want and just sit back and count my money.

"Senior brother? What do you think? Shall we go?"

Guo Degang initially kept his head down, but his words made him raise his head again. "We need to discuss this; it's not a small amount."

"Okay, whatever you say, I'll call Xiao Luan as soon as I'm sure. I'm going to the academy now."

Gao Feng got up and left.

Zheng Xu took a sip of tea and then followed.

The current situation is quite awkward. The father invites his son back to perform, often for tens of millions of yuan, so they really can't stay any longer.

"Do you think you'll invite him?" Zheng asked Lao Gao as he left.

"I don't know, it depends on whether we can afford it. Dalin is really amazing."

"No wonder his actors are so arrogant."

"Arrogant?"

"That was around that time."

Thinking he was in the right, Zheng Xu brought up the incident where he led a team to dump goods at Huilin Society. Gao Feng recalled it and didn't want to talk to him, since it was his fault in the first place.

Even if you are an elder, when you go to someone else's territory, you should at least be polite and talk to them with a smile. Otherwise, how can they give you a good look?

They especially wanted to cut in line.

The two left the rose garden.

Guo Degang didn't say a word, just kept drinking his tea. When it got cold, he finally realized and asked his assistant to brew it again.

After waiting for half an hour, he finally mustered up a little courage to call his wife.

The reason for the long delay in discussing this matter is mainly due to the accumulation of additional issues.

I had a conflict with my youngest son not long ago and treated him very harshly, so my wife was naturally unhappy.

When someone is unhappy, asking them to spend millions to hire someone is a fool's guess.

At this point, he began to resent why he hadn't been left with some money and shares.

The couple were deeply in love back then, and he gave her everything willingly. Without her, there would be no Deyun Society today.

Things are different now; it's practically impossible to move an inch.

Unfortunately, they had no choice but to grit their teeth and fight.

I called.

Wang Hui is currently in Tianjin. She hasn't been back to Beijing for a while, mainly taking care of the drum music troupe and taking her son to school. She is also involved in her son's education.

I was very angry about what happened before.

However, Guo Degang's parenting style is also problematic; he clearly doesn't know how to educate, which is why he used that method.

"Hey, what's up?"

His tone was somewhat impolite.

"We've been thinking about it and have made a decision. We plan to invite Guo Qilin back to perform. Since this is part of an alliance, inviting him shouldn't be a problem."

"..."

Wang Hui's expression froze for a moment. "They actually thought of hiring us, but they don't want to see us at all. They're out of their minds."

“It’s different. We have an alliance, and besides, neither of us will show up. It’s just that he’s on stage with his fellow disciples. We’ll consider it.”

"If you insist on trying, then let's see what you can find out and how much appearance fee you want."

"Given his current rising net worth, it's estimated to be in the tens of millions."

"What!!"

Wang Hui's expression changed drastically. First, she couldn't believe that Guo Qilin's net worth had reached tens of millions. Second, she was astonished that Guo Degang dared to ask her for tens of millions.

Do you know how long it would take for a company to generate tens of millions in net income these days?

The profits are not as good as before.

All the famous and talented actors have left.

They make a living through commercial performances and other industries.

Even though it wasn't a major financial loss, the ten million expenditure still hurt.

"Sigh~ Anyway, the chairmanship is yours, so it's all up to you."

Guo Degang didn't want to say more, but reluctantly uttered a single sentence.

"Let me think about it. I'll give you an answer in an hour. This matter isn't that simple; it involves ten million."

After hanging up the phone, Wang Hui thought it over and over in Tianjin, but still didn't want to agree.

There are too many, and besides, it makes no sense to bring him here now.

The reason I brought him here was to unite the fellow disciples.

After thinking for a long time, she checked Guo Qilin's appearance fee and found that it was indeed the case.

Although it may seem like only a few million, that's outdated; now it's tens of millions.

I'd be really unwilling to spend tens of millions to hire them.

Thinking about it this way, she said she would give me an answer in an hour, but she dragged it out for two or three days.

Two or three days later, early in the morning, after washing up, Wang Hui called Guo Degang in Yanjing.

After much deliberation, I have made my decision.

“Okay, ten million it is. I’ve been thinking, if he comes, it can indirectly boost traffic and improve his reputation. Andi’s reputation is almost ruined, you handle it. I’ll transfer the money to you once it’s confirmed.”

"it is good."

Guo Degang was overjoyed. He hadn't expected his wife to approve it; it seemed she was a very understanding person.

No wonder he was able to use all his funds to help himself get started; he had a good eye for opportunity.

I couldn't help but praise him in my heart.

Once everything was settled, he immediately contacted Lao Gao and asked Lao Gao to continue making the call. He had a lot of influence because no one had any complaints or conflicts with him.

When Gao Feng learned at home that Da Lin was willing to spend tens of millions to hire him, even he couldn't help but feel moved.

I never imagined that the father and son would end up like this, but as long as we can bring them back, it's a good thing.

Then I promptly made the call.

Xiao Luan received the call, feeling somewhat conflicted, because she had already given a clear answer recently.

"Teacher Gao?"

"Xiao Luan, things have been settled. Deyun Society is willing to offer ten million to invite Da Lin. Could you please put in a good word with them?"

"No need to say anything, Teacher Gao. This matter was doomed to fail from the start, as you should know. Dalin just said not long ago that he didn't want to go, so just give up and don't worry about it."

"what?"

Gao Feng couldn't understand, "A performance fee of tens of millions! Besides, we're in an alliance, things are going very well, why not go? I'm looking forward to performing with Da Lin." Luan Yunping felt things were complicated, and since Teacher Gao seemed determined to have Da Lin go, she simply said, "Teacher Gao, Da Lin has a concert next month, please understand. If it's Master's idea, please tell Master the truth."

"..."

After hearing this, even a fool would understand that there was no future, and he felt sorry for his senior brother.

Less than half a minute after the crucial call ended, my senior called back.

"Old Gao, how's it going? Any results? This time we're going to prepare properly and make it a big one. It doesn't matter how much money we invest, let's make it a big event."

The other party was overjoyed, but Gao Feng was less willing to talk, feeling suffocated.

"Senior, they didn't agree. They never even considered coming over. It was all wishful thinking on our part. Besides, they have a concert next month, and they don't have time."

His joy vanished in an instant, replaced by a chilling feeling. Guo Degang felt goosebumps all over his body, and a wave of sorrow washed over him.

After much effort, his wife finally agreed, and after much effort, he received a multi-million dollar invitation, but Dalin didn't want to come.

It seems that the hatred he harbors for himself hasn't diminished in the slightest.

My heart is constantly twisting.

"Senior brother, how about I try asking more people, or..."

The rest of the message wasn't explicitly stated, but Guo Degang understood: it meant increasing his appearance fee. If it exceeded his original value, it would signify that the company valued him.

But as I said before, he didn't just throw money away like that.

If I were to ask my wife for more money, we would definitely end up arguing.

It's better to avoid trouble. I might as well use my own money to add it.

Although he gave all his money and assets to his wife at Deyun Club, it doesn't mean he really didn't have a single penny to his name.

Save some, more or less.

In addition, he doesn't spend much money normally, so he naturally accumulated about five or six million.

In order to invite Da Lin, we had no choice but to use our resources.

"Old Gao, don't bother. I'll find someone to contact them myself and see if it works."

"Let me know if you have any news. I really hope to perform with Da Lin."

"do not worry."

This time, Guo Degang contacted them through legitimate channels and offered a high price of 16 million.

Once the price was given, he truly had no money left, but of course, he didn't need to spend anything.

They have food and clothing, and someone takes care of them.

Even their daily expenses are covered by someone else.

Upon contact, Huilin Society and Guo Qilin were immediately informed.

"Didn't you already reject him? Why are you still clinging to him?"

Guo Qilin was speechless after being contacted by his agent, who kept interrupting his life like this.

I would be so much happier without them.

Some are even questioning whether forming an alliance with Deyun Club was the right choice, suggesting they should simply cancel the alliance altogether.

However, there was no reason to cancel, and I had to consider my fellow apprentices.

"This time is different. They raised the price by six million, which I think is acceptable. Why shouldn't we make money if we can?"

The agent wasn't wrong. They might be resistant to them, but why not make money if they have the chance?

Sixteen million is quite a lot for him now, and the net profit is still decent.

Does it matter?

Don't care at all.

He is quite capable of making money; his investments in businesses and restaurants alone can generate a considerable amount of income for him each month.

Just as she was internally complaining, her manager spoke up again, "I suggest you go once, not to plead for Deyun Society, but for the alliance. Qingqu Society has already formed an alliance and gone once. They're the only ones we haven't gone to."

That's somewhat inappropriate; you should at least show some consideration for uniting the crosstalk performers. Also, I've heard from a rumor that many people are dissatisfied with the young master over there. Go check it out.

The branch office is opening and needs more actors.

The agent's idea is definitely for the good of the company, so making money and recruiting people are the best choices.

Guo Qilin sighed and, reflecting on his experiences, realized that after so many years, he had actually let go of what happened back then.

But even though I've put the matter behind me, I still feel a strange sense of rejection and disgust towards the people from my original family.

This isn't an emotional matter; it's purely physiological.

"Okay, fine. Anyway, it's not like I'm going back to Deyun Club, it's just going to participate in a commercial performance. I think this money can be invested in something. Can you help me think about it?"

"I've already decided to use this money to do some simple renovations on some theaters, especially some old theaters in Beijing that have been around for many years. If there's anything left over, I'll use it to give the employees some benefits."

"Use Deyun Society's money to strengthen us and unite our spirits."

"Okay, I'll listen to you."

His agent had been with him for several years and was considered a good friend, always offering advice and strategies.

So he immediately agreed.

He agreed.

Guo Degang was secretly delighted, and his face revealed his joy.

I thought they would refuse again, but unexpectedly they agreed.

It seems that Lao Gao and the others' advice worked.

The next step is to figure out how to create an event.

Sixteen million to hire one person.

In the past, I would have been heartbroken over the expense, but things are different now; I don't even think about money anymore.

"How about we put on a solo crosstalk show featuring Da Lin?"

Giving 16 million yuan isn't just for a stand-up comedy routine; it requires a whole show tailor-made for you.

He also needed people from Deyun Club to provide him with actors.

It's like this time, Deyun Club is the organizer, and Guo Qilin and others will get paid as long as they finish their performance.

After thinking it over, this is the only way.

He immediately ordered someone to contact Yue Yunpeng, Kong Yunlong, Tao Yang, and others. When they heard the news, they were all dumbfounded.

"What? They've invited Dalin to perform? Did he accept?"

"They agreed? That's great! Dalin is finally going back to Deyun Club to perform again."

“Great! Dalin is back to perform, and this time it’s still Master’s doing. Quickly ask him for more details, start with Dalin.”

“You go find Dalin, I’ll go find my master to confirm, this is a big deal.”

"Is there a trap here? Why would Dalin agree? And why would Master and Mistress invite him?"

"What's the big deal? I'm just here to have some fun, nothing serious."

Several people made separate phone calls.

They were even happier than Guo Degang after the fight. It was a rare opportunity. If they could perform well this time, they might be able to do it again in the future.

Before the venue was even confirmed, they leaked the information.

The reason for the early disclosure was to prevent any unforeseen circumstances.

But how could things change for Guo Qilin? Earning 16 million is no big deal.

Anyway, it's not like I haven't been there before.

Once exposed, the content was even more significant than the opening of a branch office and the alliance of Qingqu Society.

Just one day.

A striking title has appeared prominently on Weibo's trending topics.
