Although the audience was very dissatisfied with the final score given by the judges, the result could not be changed!
In the end, it was still the BD band that won first place, while the Iron Wolf band only managed to secure third place. It was announced that after the event, Tian Sheng Music would discuss signing contracts with the top three contestants.
In fact, if it weren't for their last song being so impressive, the Iron Wolf band might not have even made it into the top three.
The Iron Wolf band didn't seem to have much of a reaction to this result. After all, they had known this would happen, and making it into the top three was already a good outcome for them.
"Let's go, we should head backstage and find them! This time, we'll definitely give them a good scolding," Tang Feng said with a smile to the others.
"Right, right, at least they're third. If we don't scold them, it would be disrespectful! Let's go!" Chen Shao also said with a smile.
"Brother Liu, are you coming?" Tang Feng turned to Liu Jie with a half-smile.
"Ah! Sure!" Liu Jie was taken aback for a moment, then quickly agreed.
At the same time, backstage, one of the five judges, the vice president of Tian Sheng Music, Han Mo, and BD band's manager, Hu Meixun, approached Chu Ge.
"Congratulations, your performance tonight was excellent!" Han Mo said with a smile.
"Thank you, Director Han, for your praise!" Chu Ge smiled. He, of course, knew who the person in front of him was; he had been introduced during the judges' introduction. Han Mo was the vice president of Tian Sheng Music.
"It's not just praise, that song was really great!" Han Mo smiled.
"Let me introduce you to Yu Mei. She will be your manager from now on and will be responsible for discussing the contract details with you. You should get to know each other first," Han Mo said, pointing to Yu Mei with a smile.
Seeing Yu Mei, Chu Ge and his two bandmates were taken aback. How could they not know BD band's manager? It was Yu Mei who had said, "Dragons do not live with snakes." How could they forget?
Seeing Chu Ge and his bandmates' stunned expressions, Han Mo asked in surprise, "What's wrong? Do you know each other?"
"Hehe, we've met before! There was some misunderstanding earlier. Please don't take it to heart!" Yu Mei said with a smile.
As the saying goes, one doesn't hit a smiling face. Since Yu Mei had said this, Chu Ge and his bandmates naturally couldn't act too harshly.
After shaking hands, Han Mo left, leaving the rest of the matters to be discussed by Yu Mei.
"My name is Yu Mei. I'm a few years older than you, so you can call me Sister Mei!" Yu Mei said frankly.
Chu Ge and his bandmates looked at each other, feeling somewhat unaccustomed to Yu Mei's enthusiasm. In fact, none of them had a good impression of Yu Mei. Her previous disdain and contempt were still fresh in their minds, and this sudden change was really hard for them to adapt to.
"First, congratulations on winning third place in the competition. According to the pre-competition agreement, Tian Sheng Music will sign the top three singers. The first and second place have already been signed, and the contracts have been signed. Now, it's just you left," Yu Mei said.
"Of course, although Tian Sheng Music can sign you, since you are only in third place, we cannot allocate too many resources to you. However, Sister Mei has a suggestion for you, which you might want to consider," Yu Mei said with a smile.
"Sister Mei, please go on!" Chu Ge said.
"Since you are only in third place, Tian Sheng Music can only offer you the lowest-level rookie contract, which lasts for three years. However, the song you performed tonight, 'Boundless Sea and Sky,' was excellent. The company is currently promoting BD band and is in need of a main song. If you are willing to sell the copyright of the song to the company, I can secure an excellent rookie contract for you. Within half a year, the company will create a custom album for you and promote it. I believe that with your talent and the company's resources, you will definitely achieve something significant!"
"Of course, the company will not treat you unfairly. The copyright fee for the song is 30,000 yuan! Even some famous musicians' songs are priced at this level! What do you think?" Yu Mei said with a smile.
In reality, the promise of a custom album within half a year was just a smokescreen. Her goal was to deceive the three rookies, Chu Ge and his bandmates. BD band and Iron Wolf band have many similarities, and Tian Sheng Music cannot promote two bands with similar characteristics at the same time, nor do they have the resources to do so.
She was only interested in the song 'Boundless Sea and Sky'! As for Iron Wolf? To be honest, she didn't really take them seriously.
"Sister Mei, we can't sell this song!" Chu Ge was not a fool; he could see through her intentions. Although signing with a music company and entering the pop music industry as a signed artist was very tempting, it didn't mean he would be deceived by Yu Mei's empty promises!
Moreover, the copyright of 'Boundless Sea and Sky' was not in his hands, and even if he wanted to sell it, he couldn't. Besides, he didn't want to sell it at all.
"What? Don't you trust Sister Mei? Or do you think the price is too low?" Yu Mei frowned slightly.
"Clap, clap, clap!" At this moment, a round of applause suddenly came from the doorway.
"Quite a generous offer, 30,000 yuan, tsk tsk!" The person who entered was Ye Bai. They had just arrived at the door and overheard Yu Mei and Chu Ge's conversation, so they couldn't help but push the door open and speak.
"Who are you? Who allowed you to come in? Get out!" Yu Mei said angrily.
"Get out? Madam, this doesn't seem to be your place, does it?" Tang Feng's words made Yu Mei jump.
"You... You..." Yu Mei pointed at Tang Feng and the others, trembling with anger and unable to speak.
"Cough, cough, Feng, why are you here?" Chu Ge, seeing Yu Mei's speechless state, felt a great sense of satisfaction but still managed to suppress his laughter, coughing a couple of times before speaking.
"Hehe, if I didn't come, you would have been sold and still be counting the money for them!" Tang Feng said irritably.
"What do you mean? Chu Ge, are these your friends? They are so uncivilized, you have disappointed me!" Yu Mei said angrily.
"Old lady, I've been putting up with you for too long. Get lost, and don't force me to hit a woman!" Chu Ge, hearing Yu Mei's words, exploded on the spot, standing up and pointing at Yu Mei, shouting angrily.
"You... Fine, very fine! Don't regret it! Get ready to be blacklisted!" Yu Mei was also taken aback by Chu Ge's outburst, then a surge of anger overcame her, and she pointed at Chu Ge and the others.
"Blacklisted? Hehe, fine, I'll wait! Now, get lost!" Chu Ge said coldly, pointing to the door.
"We'll see!" Yu Mei realized there was no point in continuing the discussion, so she stormed out, slamming the door.
"Damn, Chu Ge, I never thought you'd be such a man!" The tomboy Li Fang couldn't help but say.
"Phew!" Chu Ge let out a long breath and said irritably, "Why does that sound so awkward?"
"Ha ha ha!" Everyone burst into laughter, dispelling the somewhat oppressive atmosphere.
