The straight man in the entertainment circle

The other top ten players were extremely happy when they found out that Lin Li and Wu Ruobing didn't sign.

Next week, 10 will advance to 8. From this point of view, it is certain that Lin Li and Wu Ruobing will be eliminated.

Then they are safe.

They were naturally happy when they thought that they had gone from the top ten to the top eight.

Only Li Mengfei admired Lin Li a little when she saw that Lin Li dared to face Tianyun's vice president angrily and denounced the unreasonable contract on such an occasion.

I don't have the courage.

Thinking of the scene where Lin Li stepped forward to save herself in the crowd, Li Mengfei suddenly blushed.

Lin Li seems to be more like a man than others...

However, Li Mengfei felt a little complicated when she thought that Lin Li and Wu Ruobing would not be among the top ten.

These two people are Li Mengfei's two biggest opponents. If they really leave, her chances of winning will be greatly improved.

If they were really eliminated from the show, Li Mengfei would also be very happy, but before they competed, they were destined to be eliminated. It was not a crime of fighting, so Li Mengfei felt a little pity for them both.

She also envied Lin Li that there was someone like Wu Ruobing who was willing to give up her future to be with him, and she also envied that Wu Ruobing had someone who could give everything to follow him.

Looking back at myself, I seem to be even more miserable.

Back at the hotel in the evening, Tao Yufeng secretly met with the two mothers, Song Wenjie and Zhang Li, without telling the other contestants and a few people from the program team.

Tao Yufeng knew that Lin Li and Wu Ruobing were the only ones who could change their minds now.

In the past three seasons, Lin Li is still the first player who is unwilling to sign a contract. What is even more hateful is that he also drags Wu Ruobing, a spokesperson for the title sponsor, with him.

Tao Yufeng really didn't want them to be eliminated in the next round if they didn't sign the contract.

You know, Lin Li and Wu Ruobing are the three most popular players among the top ten players, and Lin Li's online discussion is the most discussed player in the past three seasons.

It would be no exaggeration to say that these two people were eliminated at this time, which was a huge loss to the program.

If all players sign contracts, Tianyun will not interfere with the progress of the game. Let the market test the quality of the players, and finally they will allocate resources according to the name of the game. But for players like Lin Li who have not signed contracts, Tianyun will never It will allow them to advance and waste competition resources.

The exposure of the program is also a resource, and Tianyun naturally wants to provide these resources to its artists.

Moreover, it is absolutely impossible to scare the monkeys without eliminating Lin Li and Wu Ruobing.

Tao Yufeng is the chief director of this program, but once Tianyun or the director intervenes, he has no choice but to obey orders.

It doesn't matter how much he cherishes his talents and how much he likes Lin Li.

It’s just that he knows Lin Li’s value to this program. Without Lin Li in the program, it would be the same as missing his soul.

Although "The Voice" is the copyright of Tianyun, for three seasons, Tao Yufeng has long regarded this program as his own child.

After spending a lot of time talking about the matter to Song Wenjie and Zhang Li, Tao Yufeng talked about a lot of benefits of signing the contract, and also pointed out the consequences of not signing, that is, if you don't sign, you will be eliminated in the next period.

Song Wenjie and Zhang Li were also surprised. After listening to what Tao Yufeng said, they felt that there was no harm in signing the contract, but it would be bad not to sign the contract.

When the two went back, they found Lin Li and Wu Ruobing to persuade them.

"Mom, Auntie, please stop trying to persuade me. You must never sign this contract."

Lin Li felt helpless when he heard that Song Wenjie and Zhang Li actually acted as lobbyists for the program team.

"Why can't I sign it?" Song Wenjie asked puzzledly.

"You haven't seen the content of the contract. It's full of overlord clauses."

"Tell us, we heard from the program director that everyone signed like this, there is no problem." Song Wenjie asked.

"To put it simply, if I sign a contract, I can't make the final decision on the songs I write in the future, they have the final say!" Lin Li said.

Song Wenjie was stunned and immediately said: "That means you can't sign it!"

Zhang Li asked in a low voice: "What about my Ruobing? She doesn't write songs, so can't she sign them too?"

Lin Li shook his head and said, "She can't sign either. With Ruobing's character, if you sign a contract without enough terms to protect your own interests, you will be squeezed to death by them after entering. The key is that you can't resist. Once you resist, you will hide. It’s been ruined after eight years, and you’ll have to pay tens of millions in compensation if you terminate the contract!”

Zhang Li was also shocked when she heard about the liquidated damages.

"Then...why did all the other players sign?"

"After you sign, you will become Tianyun's idol. You have to be obedient." Lin Li said, "Think about the players in the previous two seasons. Except for Wen Xin, who is doing well, other players are not taking advantage of their popularity. Did they cut off a lot of leeks when we were there, and then started to ignore it? To put it bluntly, they didn’t really consider the future development of the players at all, and they didn’t have that many resources.”

"Then...if you don't sign, you will be eliminated in the next round, right?" Zhang Li asked.

Wu Ruobing said: "If you are eliminated, just eliminate them. We are not afraid."

"How about we discuss it with the program team again?" Song Wenjie was obviously unwilling.

"No." Lin Li objected, "Mom, Aunt Zhang, don't worry, if you don't participate in this show, we will rise elsewhere in the future. Now we can't spend all our future lives on an unequal contract like Tianyun. Li, if that happens, you really won’t be able to turn over.”

Song Wenjie and Zhang Li seemed to have figured it out after hearing this, and nodded silently.

More than an hour later, Tao Yufeng called to inquire about the results.

Lin Li knew it was him, so he came to pick him up personally.

"Hello?"

"Director Tao, it's me."

"Oh...Lin Li...um...how have you considered that matter?"

"We've thought about it, we won't sign it," Lin Li said firmly.

"..."

Tao Yufeng was silent for a long time and said sincerely: "Why are you so stubborn? There's no point in being so tough."

"There is no benefit in forcing it, but if I don't force it, there will be disadvantages for me." Lin Li said.

"..."

Tao Yufeng sighed and said, "There are still four days left for the next recording. You should think about it again. I will intercede for you from above."

Lin Li knew that although Tao Yufeng was the director of the program, his words had little weight in front of the station director and Tianyun Entertainment. It was almost impossible for them to change.

"Director Tao, thank you for your kindness, but no need."

Tao Yufeng smiled bitterly and said, "You are really an anomaly."

Lin Li also laughed in agreement and said, "Director Tao, I have thought about the song "Sing If You Want" that you mentioned yesterday. I will give it to the program team. I don't want the money."

Tao Yufeng was stunned and said: "How can that be done? The money must be given."

"It's really not necessary. This is my thanks to the program team for being so tolerant of my nonsense."

Tao Yufeng suddenly felt that under Lin Li's prickly appearance, he had a rare innocent heart.

"Okay, but don't worry, we will use it as the theme song of the show and will not use it for other commercial purposes." Tao Yufeng said.

"Well, then...good night."

"Good night."

Just after hanging up the phone, Lin Li received a text message from Jiang Da.

"How about it, signed a contract?"

Lin Li was stunned and thought, Jiang Da knew all this?

"You are quite well informed, but I didn't sign."

"Haha, indeed, you did not disappoint me."

"..."

Lin Li was a little surprised when he saw this reply. He originally thought that Jiang Da, like everyone else, wanted him to sign the contract, but from this tone, it was obvious that he did not want him to sign the contract.

It seems that they still have a consensus on this point.
