Qin Qingzhuo waited for Shi Yao's reply until two days later. Shi Yao called and said that the director team wanted to invite him to dinner in the evening.
"I want to talk to you about the Rough Cloud Band," Shi Yao said on the phone, "Qing Zhuo, you must come over."
Qin Qingzhuo actually didn't want to accept this honor, but since it was about Rough-faced Cloud, he still agreed.
At the dinner, Shi Yao toasted frequently, and his words seemed to indicate that he wanted to ease the relationship with Qin Qingzhuo. He thanked Qin Qingzhuo for agreeing to be a mentor and asked Qin Qingzhuo to understand his inconsideration during the recording process.
Qin Qingzhuo patiently drank the wine he offered.
After a few drinks, his patience was running low. Shi Yao observed his expression and finally got to the point.
"Qing Zhuo, I have been thinking about the Rough Cloud Band these past two days, and I have discussed it with the platform's top management. We are currently considering arranging a resurrection session in the next show."
Resurrection session? This is... prepared specifically for Rough-faced Cloud? Qin Qingzhuo looked at Shi Yao and felt that things would not be that simple.
As expected, Shi Yao continued, "Also, we want to sign Rough Cloud."
Qin Qingzhuo picked up the wine glass and drank in silence, with some guesses in his mind.
Shi Yao mentioned these two things in one sentence, but these two things are probably not in parallel relationship. Instead, he wanted to use signing the contract as a prerequisite before he would allow Rough Cloud to be resurrected in the show.
Moreover, once Rough Cloud accepts the conditions of the contract, the program group can use the resurrection of Rough Cloud to stir up another wave of popularity and harvest a wave of traffic, and can also naturally raise them to a high position, or even replace the city collapse...
Compared to letting Rough Cloud advance directly, this tactic can eliminate them first, then use the contract to control them, and thereby trigger greater discussion. In the future, by signing Rough Cloud, they can also obtain benefits for the next few years, even more than ten years, or even longer. This wishful thinking... is really a brilliant plan.
Qin Qingzhuo thought of Shi Yao's expression when he talked to him after Camiyun was eliminated last time. At that time, he felt that Shi Yao seemed a little surprisingly calm. Could it be that Shi Yao had been planning to use this trick from the beginning
Qin Qingzhuo remained calm and put down his wine glass: "Then I have to discuss this matter with Camiyun first."
"We discussed this with Rough Cloud today, but these three people..." Shi Yao smiled bitterly, "It seems that they don't want to sign the contract."
"Qingzhuo, you know that Jiang Ji doesn't usually cooperate with the program team. We wanted to talk to him about this matter in detail, but he didn't give us a definite answer. I think he has a good relationship with you," Shi Yao held the bottle and poured more wine for Qin Qingzhuo, "so I want you to persuade him."
Qin Qingzhuo thought about it and asked, "Should I sign a contract with this program or with the platform?"
“Sign with the platform.”
"Is there a contract I can look at?"
"Does Chen Jia have an electronic version?" Shi Yao looked at Chen Jia. "Show it to Qing Zhuo."
Qin Qingzhuo took the phone from Chen Jia and swiped the screen to browse the contract.
"I have some idea of the situation of Cunmianyun," Shi Yao said, "To be honest, given their current situation, signing a contract with the platform should be beneficial. For now, if they sign the contract, they can at least be guaranteed to be in the top three. In the long run, the platform's development focus in recent years has been on the artist economy. In the future, they will have all kinds of resources, such as releasing albums, holding concerts, and appearing on variety shows."
