The vice-president forced a chuckle . He had predicted that both Liu Ying Dong and Zhao Li wouldn't be friendly with Master Lin since they both had a close relationship with Ying Jing .
Lin Fan's scuffle with Ying Jing in the slapping incident had already gone viral, and everyone knew about it .
That was the most logical explanation . However, there was nothing much to worry about, but could it be possible that they would bring their emotions to the stage?
The vice-president gave a light cough, "Since this is a live broadcast, I hope that the four of you guys will be able to keep your professionalism . The contestants can give us problems, but the teachers shouldn't have any issues . That is our only requirement . "
Lin Fan and the rest nodded, giving the vice-president their guarantee . Lin Fan didn't find any problem with that request- people had spent money to invite them over, and it was only right that they didn't give them any trouble in the show .
Only a moronic person would cause a scene during the program .
It was business all the way until the afternoon .
President Liu suggested that everyone had lunch . However, Liu Ying Dong and Zhao Li didn't want to sit on the same table with Lin Fan . Hence, they tactfully declined the invitation and gave the excuse that they had something to tend to .
Huo Jian Xiang, on the other hand, was interested in getting to know more about Lin Fan, and so agreed without much thought .
It was the few of them who had lunch together .
In the late afternoon .
A piece of news appeared on the web .
"The four teachers for the TV program 'Strongest Heavenly Voice' have finally met . Of the teachers, both Liu Ying Dong and Zhao Li seem to have a negative sentiment against Master Lin . Investigations by the editor have revealed that Liu Ying Dong and Zhao Li are close friends of Ying Jing . Since Master Lin has enmity with Ying Jing, the negative sentiments from both Liu Ying Dong and Zhao Li have followed . Will this conflict of interest continue on into the program?"
"Damn, the editor is talking a lot of crap this afternoon . Where did he get his source from?"
"What the editor said does make a lot of sense . If you take a look at Weibo, Ying Jing and the two of the teachers have a very close relationship . "
"Haha, I really can't wait for the 'Strongest Heavenly Voice' to start airing . I'd love to see all the drama . "
"^, you can keep on dreaming . That will never happen . "
If Lin Fan had seen that piece of news, he would have reeled back in shock . That article was clearly written by Shanghai Satellite TV Network's own people, and the piece of news was to create more hype for the show .
Of the four teachers, three of them had conflict amongst themselves . The show would definitely be more popular with all the additional drama .
At night .
Lin Fan was just about to leave his shop at Cloud Street when Wang Ming Yang arrived .
What followed next was a huge bear hug .
"Damn, if I don't come looking for you, you'll never find me," Wang Ming Yang complained .
"Haven't you seen how busy I am the past few weeks? I've got so much on my plate . Anyway, what's up?"
"Well, I just felt like visiting you . How about we go for some drinks?" Wang Ming Yang smiled cheekily .
Lin Fan squinted his eyes, looking at Wang Ming Yang, "Zi Le is away filming, am I right?"
"I really can't hide anything from you, can I? You're right, she's away filming," Wang Ming Yang said, chuckling, "Anyway, I hear that you're a teacher for the TV competition 'Strongest Heavenly Voice', so I wanted to discuss something with you . "
"Let's talk when we get there . Let's go to Lu Chuan, but we better cut down on the drinking . I still have to work tomorrow," Lin Fan said, not asking Wang Ming Yang what it was that he wanted to discuss .
"Sure, no problem . Now that you have to be a teacher on the show, you definitely can't drink too much . "
At night, at the open air restaurant .
Lin Fan looked at Wang Ming Yang puzzled, "You wanted to talk to me about this?"
"What else? I tell you, my company has quite a few star-performers . However, the number of them is just too small . So I just want to make a simple request- if you see any promising singers during the program, please refer them to my company," Wang Ming Yang said .
For Wang Ming Yang who had tasted success in the entertainment industry, he could not give up this huge piece of meat . Although he did have a few star performers in his company, Wang Ming Yang wanted to expand the number of talents that he had under his company .
However, he didn't have a good eye for talent and couldn't see if someone had potential .
His brother, on the other hand, was different- his eyes were deadly accurate . If he said that someone had the potential of making it big time, it was definitely going to happen .
Lin Fan didn't reject him, "Sure, no problem . What you're trying to say is that I make the decisions, am I right?"
"Yes, you call the shots . As long as you say the word, I'll fully support your decision," Wang Ming Yang said confidently . Lin Fan had all the authority to act on Wang Ming Yang's behalf .
"Okay, I'll do that . However, I have to remind you that Wu Huan Yue is one of us . You can earn money, but you better not exploit her, otherwise I'll get angry," Lin Fan said .
"My brother, that's no problem . I'll go and review the contract tomorrow to your satisfaction . However, I've got to rely on you this time . Select out a few potential stars for me that can get popular really quick," Wang Ming Yang said .
Lin Fan raised his glass, "Alright . Cheers to this unscrupulous businessman using me . "
"That is a whole load of cr*p . Since when have I ever used you? Even if I backstab people, I'll never betray my brother . Even if we committed a crime together and the police take me away, I'll never reveal you," Wang Ming Yang said .
*Vomit*
"Alright, alright, that was so sappy . Let's drink," Lin Fan cringed a bit after hearing Wang Ming Yang say that . He raised his glass .
"Cheers . "
An entrepreneur from Shanghai, a Master from Shanghai . Both of them were sitting there at the cheap open-aired restaurant, talking about anything and everything . If anyone saw them, they wouldn't have believed that they were famous .
The next day!
6 o'clock in the evening .
The live broadcast of the 'Strongest Heavenly Voice' .
The people in the crowd all had to buy tickets to watch the show, and the ticket was extremely hard to get . The whole arena was packed to the brim, and all of them were waiting for the show to commence .
The 'Strongest Heavenly Voice' competition was different compared to other singing competitions, and that was that the success of the competitors completely depended on the verdict of the teachers . The teachers had the power to determine if a competitor could stay in the competition .
The crowd did not get to participate, they were just there to watch the show .
There was quite a crowd outside the arena .
"Huo Jian Xiang, I love you!"
"Music god Liu Ying Dong, we will support you forever!"
"Zhao Li is so pretty!"
The crowd roared as the teachers walked by . The three teachers were already used to huge crowds of fans adoring them, but they still enjoyed shaking the hands of their fans .
There was only one exception, and that was Lin Fan . Compared to the other three teachers, no one was cheering for him .
Liu Ying Dong and Zhao Li were laughing coldly . With that kind of popularity, how did he still have the face to become a teacher? It was totally embarrassing .
After Lin Fan got off the car, his face started looking helpless . He couldn't help but shout, "Hey, where are my supporters?"
Huo Jian Xiang chuckled helplessly . This was the first time he was seeing a public figure asking for people to cheer him on .
Liu Ying Dong and Zhao Li were laughing . No matter how many times he pleaded, it wouldn't be of any use . None of his fans were there .
Suddenly .
Laughter spread through the crowd .
The fans in the crowd started laughing .
"Haha, this is just too hilarious! Master Lin is such a tease . "
"Stop laughing! Can't you see that Master Lin is on the verge of crying? No one is cheering him on . "
"Master Lin, I love you, please don't cry!
"Master Lin, I want to have your babies!"
At that moment, the crowd started roaring .
Lin Fan nodded his head in satisfaction, smiling, "This is more like it . "
