Chapter 29: Still Feeling Unsatisfied

".What the hell is going on? It's not that good. Do you really think you're a singing god? You're just putting on airs!"

Mai Shuli said unhappily out of envy and jealousy.

When he turned his head to take another look, he saw one of his little followers sobbing and wiping tears with his sleeve, feeling sad that he was just a spare tire.

Even Mai Shuli's father, Mr. Mai, looked disappointed and said with emotion:
"You've never really loved someone, so of course you can't taste the bitterness. Son, you deserved to lose. This song is so powerful. If I hadn't let Liu down back then, I probably wouldn't be living like this now."

"???"

Young Master Mai was confused and said in a low voice in frustration:

"What do you mean by a fair loss? I haven't even started singing yet! Today is my debut stage!! Besides, what's with Ah Mao Ah Liu? Are you worthy of my mother?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he was slapped on the back of his head.

Boss Mai glared and said, "She has been dead for almost twenty years. If you dare to say another word, I will change my will and give all the property to your sister and your brother!"

At least he still has some brains.

Mai Shuli didn't dare to provoke the old man who was immersed in nostalgia. When he looked at Fan Wumian again, his eyes became more sour.

From thinking that he could easily crush Fan Wumian in the beginning to being beaten badly at this moment, Young Master Mai felt that his face was about to swell up.

Should have known so.

He would definitely ban Fan Wumian from participating before the competition started today, and now it is a bit difficult to resolve the situation.

Fortunately, there is still a chance to turn things around.
In order to save face, Mr. Mai pretended to be strong and continued, "It's just a middle school singing competition. Even if I sing well, it doesn't matter. I have to start making and releasing an album."

His father told the truth and continued:
"Your own school, your own sponsored competition, you can't even beat him at home, and you're still thinking of turning the tables somewhere else?"

"Some people are just amazing. You have to admit it. For example, Mr. Li from Cheung Kong. When he first started selling plastic flowers, our family was already very rich. But now we don't even make as much as others who just sprinkle water."

"There are always people who are better than you. In fact, it is enough to be mediocre. There is no need to be the best. You have my support, but the little guy on the stage doesn't. It is very likely that he will reach your starting point when he is in his forties or fifties."

Nearly sixty years old.

Boss Mai is a man of insight. He has earned the title of "Kowloon Wise Men", so how can he be a fool?

Mai Shuli, blinded by envy and jealousy, completely ignored his father's words and was determined to sing well on the stage later. In his opinion, at least the judge Qiu Wenshan would definitely be on his side, so he still had a chance of winning.

Look at the stage again.

The song was a bit ordinary at first, but once the climax came out, the whole song immediately became sublime.

It instantly reminded Eason Chan of his ex-girlfriend who sang "It's a pity I'm an Aquarius", and also reminded Lam Tsz-cheung of his ex-wife.

The sentence "I will give you the freedom you want" touched the psychological defenses of countless audiences. It is true that the deeper the love, the deeper the regret.

Especially Eason Chan.

He liked the quiet sadness of the song.

He couldn't help but think of Miss Yang, who had participated in the competition with him and joined the company with him.

I deeply regret that the other party chose to study abroad and broke up with me peacefully.

So much so that when Miss Yang won an award a few years ago, Eason Chen couldn't help but tear up at the award ceremony. In the end, he could only bury this relationship deep in his heart and had to start over.

After Miss Yang got married.

Also at the award ceremony, the host called her Mrs. Ding, but Eason Chan refused to change his words and just called her Miss Yang, which was still hard to accept.

I sang "The Evening Breeze Blows in My Heart" before, and everyone applauded after I finished.

After the song "After I Leave" was sung, the scene was very quiet. Those who didn't like it didn't feel anything, but those who liked it were particularly excited.

Fortunately, most people have someone in their hearts that they can never completely forget.

Fan Wumian admitted that he was a bit risky, but after seeing the expressions of the crowd, he immediately felt relieved. After all, he had sung this song many times, and the bar owner had said that if he sang this song more, he could sell several dozen more drinks in the bar. He was too familiar with the expressions on the faces of these young people, and they were obviously a little drunk.

The bullets flew for a while.

Chen Yisen did not forget what he was here for today, and spoke into the microphone again:
"I was wrong. I thought you might be a genius before. Now it seems that you are a genius. Not only can you sing well, but you can write even better."

Lam Tsz-cheung was still lost in memories, thinking of the day when his ex-wife came to listen to his concert after many years, and he only added:

"The latter is truly your most precious talent, so don't waste it. This Mandarin song may look plain, but the emotion and rhythm are quite good. If it is recorded, it may have a good effect. Sad love songs can resonate with people the most."

As for the other judge, Qiu Wenshan, she could only sigh at this moment, feeling that she had really tried her best to help, but she really couldn't suppress it.

Don't want to miss a rare opportunity.

She looked at Boss Mai with a slightly apologetic look, and then asked openly:

"Mr. Fan, I want to know if you are willing to become a formal singer and sign a contract with our King Records? As long as you nod, I will write you a check for 100 million Hong Kong dollars. With these two songs, I can see your potential and I can prepare to help you produce records right away."

As soon as these words came out, the scene exploded!
Especially Mantis and Oily Fat, their eyes widened as if they had seen a ghost, thinking they had heard it wrong, that was a full 100 million Hong Kong dollars!
People outside the circle watch the excitement, while people inside the circle watch the details.

Lam Tsai-cheung and Eason Chan both turned to look at Yau Wen-shan, guessing that she was planning to grab a bargain at a low price and fool the "little kid".

In their eyes, the value of these two songs alone is more than 100 million Hong Kong dollars, but they all maintain a cooperative relationship with King Records, and of course they will not risk offending anyone to death, so they publicly asked Fan Wumian not to be impulsive.

If he were the silly guy from before, he might have been eager to hug Qiu Wenshan's black silk thighs.

However, things are different now. Fan Wumian is very clear about his true value. He would be crazy to sell himself so cheaply for such a small amount of money.

In his opinion, even if he really wanted to sign a contract with a record company, he should first accumulate some fame and then wait for the right price.

There are countless singers who died because of contracts, such as the singer who sang "Bubble" and the singer who sang "The Old Man and the Sea". The former not only lost the copyright of the song, but even almost lost his stage name, and the latter was even hidden for many years.

For the sake of profit, never underestimate how greedy record companies can be.

Like actors, talented singers also like to set up their own studios.

Although still a little unknown, Fan Wumian still naturally classified himself as "capable", so he answered without hesitation:

"Thank you, but I'm still studying and want to get into a good university. I won't consider signing a contract with any record company for now. And my biggest dream is actually to become a director or an actor and realize my long-cherished wish."

Silently add in my heart, "the wish from the previous life".

I've been in the industry for so many years, but I've never really led the filming of a movie. It makes me so sad that I cry when I talk about it.

Hear the words.

The audience burst into laughter again.

Even Zhuang Muxi, Zuo Ziyan and Boss Mai were deeply surprised.

Mantis almost broke down in tears, and looked as if he had lost a million dollars. He waved his hands frantically to signal Fan Wumian not to be stupid and to take the check before the judges changed their minds.

Just like he didn't plan to sell songs for the time being, Fan Wumian, who had not been completely driven into desperation, felt that he could endure the hardships first and then enjoy the sweetness, and then wait patiently.

Because you don't have to guess.

With his current fame, not only is it impossible for him to sell his songs at a high price, he is also unable to negotiate any conditions with the record companies. He will just be treated as fat meat on the chopping board and have his value squeezed out of him.

He has seen many actors who appear to be successful on the surface but in fact have nothing and are taken advantage of by the contracting companies. He understands this very well.

It can be seen that Lam Tsz-cheung secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Boss Lin really liked Fan Wumian. At his age and status, it was rare to value talent, so he interrupted into the microphone and said:

"Being an actor shouldn't stop you from writing songs. My new album is in need of a title song. If you have the chance, I'd like to ask you to come over and help me."
