“That’s obvious,” replied Shi Shulei. “What about Tan Jinsheng? What’s the situation there?”

“Twas just about to ask him. However, Ge Guangzhen probably won’t be able to steal Tan Jinsheng’s guest.” After all, there was Wei Zhigian and Tan Jingi.

Shi Shulei nodded. He thought so too. “Ask him in my office then, so that we can hear what’s going on together.”

“Okay,” Zhang Zhisheng turned on his mobile phone’s speaker mode, and called Tan Jinsheng.

“Assistant Director Zhang,” Tan Jinsheng greeted Zhang Zhisheng as soon as he picked up.

Zhang Zhisheng really liked the way Tan Jinsheng answered calls. It made him feel valued.

The first word he heard was not “hello”.

It was the other party addressing him. And this unconsciously narrowed the distance between him and the other party.

“Jinsheng,” After so much time together, Zhang Zhisheng and Tan Jinsheng were now familiar with each other.

He had long changed the way he addressed Tan Jinsheng from “Teacher Tan’ to “Jinsheng”.

It was familiar and warm.

“Director Shi is here too,” Zhang Zhisheng told Tan Jinsheng. “We have a bit of a situation here, and Director Shi wants to be updated on the latest as soon as possible. So we’re doing this call together.”

“What kind of situation?” Tan Jinsheng was surprised, “Has the program run into difficulties?”

He had not heard about it.

Tanyue was entitled to receive first-hand information as the title sponsor of I Sing.

If anything happened, the program team had a duty to report it to Tanyue.

Although the program team had to resolve the issue as quickly and impeccably as possible, they still had to give Tanyue timely updates.

“I’s not that serious, don’t worry,” Zhang Zhisheng said with a laugh, “We’re recording final battle night soon, aren’t we? I’m not sure if it’s coincidental or intentional, but Singing Voice is also going to record its final battle night to start and end at the same time as ours.”

Tan Jinsheng was in no hurry to speak.

With I Sing’s current success, there was no need to fear wrapping up the season at the same time as Singing Voice.

Therefore, this was definitely not the problematic issue they were talking about.

“For final battle night, we’ll have four participating guests, including you,” Zhang Zhisheng explained, “The other three participating guests all invited friends to perform with them, and those friends had agreed. However, they were later poached by Singing Voice with huge sums of money. So the three

participating guests had no choice but to look for others to help at the last minute. But we’re close to recording, and not many artistes are free at that exact time. So they don’t have many to choose from. As such, in various aspects, they’re not as suitable as the friends who were first invited.”

“So you mean, Singing Voice is also inviting non-participating guests to perform? And in a format similar to ours?” Tan Jinsheng immediately grasped the situation.

Zhang Zhisheng really liked communicating with Tan Jinsheng,

Because Tan Jinsheng always understood the issue at once.

He need not say more. Tan Jinsheng could more or less discern what was going on based on bits of existing information.

“That’s right,” Zhang Zhisheng nodded, “Not only is the format of their last episode similar to ours, they’ve even invited more singers just to perform. Singing Voice’s final battle night is now only in name. In reality, the content has nothing to do with a final battle night. It’s more like a New Year’s Gala.”

“Of course, they’ll still have to choose a champion. But more time will be allocated to guest performances,” Zhang Zhisheng explained. “Which also means they’ve invited quite a lot of singers.”

“Tm worried something might’ve also happened on your end?” Zhang Zhisheng said. “Speaking of which, you haven’t told us who you plan to invite. Are you able to confirm that now?”

“Yes, it’s confirmed,” said Tan Jinsheng. “It’s just that he’s overseas and hasn’t had time to come back lately. So it may not be convenient for him to discuss the contract in detail. He’s also extremely busy. That’s why I haven’t told you yet. However, he’ll definitely be there.”

“Which singer did you invite?” Zhang Zhisheng listened for an answer. Why did his response not sound reassuring at all?

The invited guest sounded so busy. Would he really be able to make it back on time?

“Lu Xiangchen,” replied Tan Jinsheng.

“Who?”

Even Shi Shulei was so shocked that he blurted it out.

At the same time as Zhang Zhisheng.

Zhang Zhisheng even cupped his ears.

Did he hear wrongly?

Lu Xiangchen?

Or did he mishear that?

Zhang Zhisheng subconsciously looked at Shi Shulei, wanting to ask Shi Shulei whose name he had heard.

“Lu Xiangchen, my senior,” Tan Jinsheng repeated.

Both Zhang Zhisheng and Shi Shulei were not advanced in age, and had always had good hearing. How did their hearing suddenly turn bad?

“Wait a minute,” Shi Shulei could not wait for Zhang Zhisheng to confirm. He asked Tan Jinsheng directly, “Jinsheng, you mean Heavenly King Lu Xiangchen?”

“Yeah,” Tan Jinsheng nodded, “It’s really him.”

Why did it seem like they did not believe him?

“Hasn’t he been busy on tour?” Shi Shulei asked.

Other singers did not dare to hold concerts in large stadiums, because they were not able to sell that many tickets. Moreover, because stadiums were so big, it cost a fortune to build sets in them. It was difficult for most singers to afford.

Even if they could afford it, their tickets would not sell.

Quite a number of companies and organizations would even distribute free concert tickets to their employees.

Another portion of tickets would be given to shopping malls and other commercial enterprises as promotional free tickets.

Only Liu Jingshen, Ji Jiayi and Lu Xiangchen were the few singers whose tickets were hard to get a hold of.

Their concert tickets were instantly sold out upon release.

The concern was not whether their tickets would sell, but whether the internet speed would be good enough.

Even RMB 588 tickets could be flipped by scalpers for an additional thousand.

RMB 988 tickets could only be gotten for around three thousand.

And front row RMB 1888 tickets were even more ridiculous.

They could only be bought for about five thousand.

As such, scalpers never had to worry about selling the tickets they had on hand.

Moreover, the quality of the concerts by these three was indeed high.

The venues were big, equipment was good, and special effects used were of high-quality.

Lu Xiangchen would always check the concert set-up personally, and constantly test the audio and sound effects at the actual venue.

A week before the concert, he would be buried in preparations at the concert venue from morning to night.

For the remainder of the time, he would discuss with his colleagues at the studio any issues with the organization of the concert, the concert repertoire, and so on.

He would be so busy that his feet would not touch the ground.

With Lu Xiangchen’s concert being so busy, would he really have time to come back as Tan Jinsheng’s guest?

“Yeah,” Tan Jinsheng nodded. “But because this concerns me, he’ll rush back no matter how busy he is.”

Shi Shulei thought about how Tan Jinsheng used the word “senior” earlier.

His lips trembled as he asked, “Did you just say that Lu Xiangchen is your senior?”

“Yes, he’s my Third Senior,” Tan Jinsheng replied.

“Your teacher is Liu Shengtai?” Shi Shulei knew he was asking a really dumb question, but he just had to ask.

“Yeah,” Tan Jinsheng patiently replied, “I am Teacher’s youngest disciple, and there are four of us disciples at the moment.”
