I started to become more self-disciplined at the age of 30

although.

The program team of the World Singing Contest was established not long ago.

However, this program group is definitely a giant in North America, with the largest media group in North America and even the world standing behind it.

At the same time, there is support from local entertainment groups in the other nine countries in the top ten divisions!

Now, no one would object to saying that the production team of the World Singing Contest is the most powerful production team in the world.

The top ten regions almost cover the ten regions with the most developed entertainment industries in Asia, Europe, America and other regions, so their combined influence is unmatched in the world.

and so.

No matter how big a star or artist is in the world, they would never dare to act like a big shot in front of this program crew.

Otherwise, if they offend the entertainment groups in the ten countries and regions behind them, their upward channels around the world will be almost cut off.

but……

Jiang Chen now faced Haley and Oldman, and said calmly: "Just arrange the time. I'm leaving first, and I'll come back on the day of the performance."

After saying that, Jiang Chen said goodbye and left without saying another word.

It seemed as if he was notifying Haley and Oldman, not discussing it at all.

Haley, Oldman, and Guo Haitao didn't say anything. They watched Jiang Chen and his companions leave, and then their faces gradually became serious and gloomy.

The other contestants and celebrity artists didn't dare to speak for a moment. Ma Rui said something to assistant director Billy, then went onto the stage to continue the rehearsal that had not yet been completed.

Several other contestants and celebrity artists also pretended to be busy and did not dare to provoke Haley and Oldman, becoming their punching bags at this time.

Hailey stared at Guo Haitao and said coldly: "You shouldn't have given him such an outrageous contract!"

Guo Haitao smiled bitterly and said, "His popularity in the Chinese region is unmatched and beyond imagination. And his performance ability is also obvious to all. We must invite him, so we can only agree to his conditions."

Guo Haitao now regretted agreeing to Jiang Chen's outrageous condition, which now put both him and the program team in a passive position.

Especially, with all the other players present just now.

Jiang Chen challenged the authority of the program team in this way, and finally got away with it. This would give other contestants an illusion that they could also make conditions to the program team.

People's hearts gradually became scattered.

The management of the program team may not be as smooth as before.

Some players may not be so obedient.

Oldman shook his head, then turned to look at the others and said to Rambo, "Prepare your performance well. I want to see you perform perfectly in the performance the day after tomorrow and the official competition later."

Rambo assured, "Of course, sir, I never make mistakes on stage."

Oldman nodded, then nodded to Nakajima Saon, Diana and others, then turned and left.

Haley left reluctantly, ready to discuss the issue of playing time with Oldman.

Since Jiang Chen made the request, they could only try their best to satisfy it.

Even if there were no conditions in the performance contract signed by Guo Haitao and Jiang Chen, as long as they were conditions proposed by Jiang Chen, Haley and Oldman would find a way to meet them.

Of course, the premise is that the conditions are not excessive.

The order of appearance cannot really affect the final result, so it does not count as cheating for Jiang Chen, and both of them can accept it.

Haley said to Oldman, "Since he wants to perform early, let him perform first. I'll see if his original work can withstand the pressure of the audience!"

She still didn't think highly of Jiang Chen's original works.

Let Jiang Chen be the first to perform, and he will bear the greatest pressure.

If Jiang Chen's original work is not recognized, he may immediately collapse due to excessive pressure.

Oldman thought about it and said, "Okay, let's discuss it and let him appear first!"

After a pause, Oldman continued, "But he didn't even tell us what style his show is... Damn, he doesn't seem to care about this show at all. If it goes wrong, then we will all suffer as a whole."

Haley: "If the performance goes badly, he can leave earlier, and we can better control the show later!"

Oldman nodded and said, "Yes, it would be a good thing for us if he could leave earlier!"

They really don't want to serve a player like this who can't be hit or scolded, is completely unpredictable, and whom they dare not offend but have to coax carefully.

If they could eliminate Jiang Chen at the beginning of the second official game, they would be able to breathe a sigh of relief.

Moreover, since he was eliminated due to lack of strength, Mr. Trins behind him could not say anything.

Haley and Oldman just left.

Several contestants at the scene and celebrity artists preparing to perform couldn't help but start talking about it.

"This Jiang Chen is too arrogant. He dared to speak to Ms. Haley and Mr. Oldman like that. I think he doesn't have much time left in the program team."

Rambo said seriously: "Based on my understanding of Ms. Haley and Mr. Oldman, they will never tolerate the existence of such a disobedient contestant."

The other contestants nodded after hearing this.

Choi Jung-yong, a South Korean player, said: "He even said shamelessly that he would not sing other people's songs but his own original songs, and it would be strange if he was not eliminated."

Rachel, a big-name star in North America, said with emotion: "It is becoming increasingly difficult to make original music now. There are very few excellent original songs in the past two years. They are basically assembly-line works that are difficult to be recognized by everyone and can only be popular for a few days. Moreover, even the biggest singers are at risk of failure."

Several people nodded after hearing this.

In the past two years, many big-name singers in North America have experienced failure in their new songs.

The Chinese music scene is gradually declining.

However, the music scene is also facing decline.

A new era is coming.

Many big-name singers and stars have begun to reap the benefits of traffic, and are no longer focused on their careers. They also do not spend enough time polishing their new works, so naturally there are fewer and fewer good works.

The money they earn from spending a lot of time polishing a song is not as much as what they could earn from taking a few advertisements or selling goods online.

and so.

A large number of songs sung on variety shows are classic old songs, and there are almost no new songs.

It's the same all over the world!
Nakajima Sana and Diana both remained silent. They knew that if Jiang Chen didn't want to leave, the program crew might not dare to force him to leave.

Of course, the two of them didn’t think highly of Jiang Chen’s original works.

…………

Jiang Chen brought Han Qing, Yan Ruyu, Pu Yuexi and others back to the manor.

During dinner, Jiang Chen said to Pu Yuexi, Chen Xiaojia, Li Wen, and Wang Jing, "When we perform the day after tomorrow, just follow my rhythm and perform normally. Don't be nervous. It's just like in China."

Chen Xiaojia nodded: "Don't worry, we will definitely not let you down."

Pu Yuexi smiled and said, "We have seen the world with you, the world championship is just like that to us."

Li Wen and Wang Jing also nodded vigorously, excited and expectant.

The biggest reason why they are willing to follow Jiang Chen is that they want to stand on a higher stage with Jiang Chen to showcase their music.

Wang Fei and Sophia also had excited and expectant looks on their faces. They followed Jiang Chen to North America just to watch Jiang Chen's performance and cheer him on.

They had already reserved the seats at the front of the stage. Sophia was a local boss in North America, so it was easy for her to reserve the seats.

of course!

In fact.

Bowles, James, and Trins all reserved seats for Jiang Chen, but Jiang Chen refused. He didn't want to owe anyone a favor for this kind of thing.

The next two days.

Jiang Chen continued to treat Lily step by step, and Lily's changes were visible to the naked eye.

Although James and John are used to it, they are still very excited!
Many outside media have already begun to hype this world championship.

The names of ten players were frequently mentioned.

Rambo, Diana, Ma Rui, Cui Zhenglong, Nakajima Saon, Philip, Joe, Reilly, Sophie, Jiang Chen!
Wait, the other nine contestants have all received a lot of media hype, but Jiang Chen’s name will only appear when all players sign up, and there is almost no chance of him being reported alone.

Only in China were many media outlets searching for information about Jiang Chen, and a large number of speculations and reports about Jiang Chen emerged.

but……

Jiang Chen did not show up at all, and many Chinese media could not report it out of thin air, so they could only make some guesses, and then report more information about other players.

The time for the weekend live broadcast is coming soon.

All morning!

The program crew is crazy busy.

The nine contestants and several other big-name celebrity artists participating in the opening performance were rehearsing on the spot, and many media outlets were frantically digging for information outside.

Haley and Oldman were both very busy.

For this grand variety show that is open to the world, they have to ensure that there will be no mistakes. As long as the first performance goes well, the subsequent performances will be easier.

Haley arrived at the stage and saw Rambo and Milia rehearsing their movements on the stage, familiarizing themselves with the lighting, stage and camera positions.

Seeing that the two were already very skilled, Haley nodded with satisfaction, turned to Director Oldman and asked, "Is Jiang Chen here?"

Oldman shook his head and answered simply, "No! I have arranged for him to be the first to appear. I asked Guo from Huaxia to notify him."

Haley nodded helplessly: "Mr. Trins called me again!"

Oldman looked at Hailey: "What's the matter? Is it about Jiang Chen again?"

Haley nodded: "Yes. Mr. Trins is coming to watch Jiang Chen's performance, and he said that many of his friends will be there in the afternoon. Mr. Trins hinted that he and many of his friends want to watch more of Jiang Chen's performances..."

Oldman frowned instantly.

Want to watch more performances of Jiang Chen?

Doesn't that imply that Jiang Chen should perform as many shows as possible?

Just to ensure Jiang Chen's advancement?
Why?
Oldman was very dissatisfied, but did not say it out loud.

because.

He also captured other information.

Trins came here specifically to watch Jiang Chen's performance, not anyone else's, but to support Jiang Chen.

at the same time……

And some of Trins' friends.

Anyone who can be called a friend by Trins must be a wealthy and powerful person of similar level.

Are all of these here to support Jiang Chen?
why?
Why?
Oldman was puzzled and looked at Haley in confusion.

Haley also smiled bitterly and said, "I don't understand it either! I checked Jiang Chen's detailed information again. He makes a lot of money, but it should be enough for Mr. Trins to please him. Mr. Trins and his friends are much richer than Jiang Chen. Jiang Chen's artistic achievements in China are very high, but it should not be enough to impress Mr. Trins and others."

"I don't understand! But it's because we don't know something. I believe there must be a reason. So, we can't just ignore it!"

Oldman was silent again. He understood what Haley meant.

We can't just ignore it, so we have to do something, try our best to satisfy Trins's requirements and let Jiang Chen perform more shows, then at least we have to ensure that Jiang Chen advances.

Isn't this a secret operation?

but……

They have already agreed with each other that no shady dealings or behind-the-scenes manipulations will be allowed in this world competition, and everything will be left to the players to speak with their own strength.

Haley whispered, "We won't make sure he advances. We can only try to arrange a weaker opponent for him! If he can't even beat a weaker opponent, then we tried our best, and that's the result."

After hearing this, Oldman felt a little better. It was just a matter of selecting an opponent, not ensuring that Jiang Chen advanced, so it was fine.

Everything depends on strength!

"Shet!"

Oldman cursed under his breath, then said, "But if he insists on being original, I think he'll probably be eliminated in the first round, just like any opponent."

Hailey shrugged and said helplessly: "Then we did our best!"

Oldman nodded: "I understand!"

The two reached a consensus again that arranging the weakest opponent for Jiang Chen in the first round would be the greatest help they could provide, and any other help would be impossible.

The program crew was busy and it was soon afternoon!
The live show is about to begin.

The nine contestants and other celebrity artists participating in the show are ready and prepared to perform at any time.

but……

Jiang Chen hasn't arrived yet!
Tens of thousands of spectators have already arrived at the scene.

Both Haley and Oldman looked unhappy.

If Jiang Chen was late for the performance, they would punish Jiang Chen even if it meant offending Trins, and would not give him any favors.

It would be best to eliminate Jiang Chen as soon as possible, so that they don’t have to worry about him.

Ok!

There are still ten minutes left before the show starts.

A convoy of cars arrived late.

The convoy went directly to the backstage parking lot, and then Jiang Chen, Han Qing, Yan Ruyu, Pu Yuexi, Chen Xiaojia, Wang Jing, and Li Wen quickly got out of the car and walked towards the backstage.

Haley and Oldman were just about to go over and blame them to show the authority of the production team.

but.

A group of people walked out from the side.

James, Bowles, Trins, and several other top North American billionaires took the initiative to approach Jiang Chen.

"Mr. Jiang Chen, we came here today specifically to watch your performance. We look forward to your wonderful performance."

Terrins took the initiative to step forward and shake hands with Jiang Chen, with a hint of respect on his face.

This made Haley and Oldman, who were walking over, change their expressions. (End of this chapter)
