Ho Shi and Ming Lu almost slammed the table ask they asked. "Why?!"
Qing Jiang Mei glared at them. "You think, I want to do this? Even I don't want to pass Ms. Xie like what Director Gu ordered us!"
"Then Why?" Ming Lu stubbornly questioned.
"Our crew. Other than you two and me, some other newbie that created the soundtracks in the movie, there are many of us who had signed the contract with Director Gu! For breaching the contract, we could be sued if we do not pay the penalties!! It's fine if he sues me, however, how about our other crew?! They are not rich and they don't have the best lawyers!!" Qing Jiang Mei covered his face with his palm and leaned to the table.
Hearing Qing Jiang Mei's considerate and kind explanation, both of them pursed their lips.
As the people who love creating music, they couldn't stand injustice to the songs that they make.
However, at the same time, they are very helpless to the contract that bound them.
"Then... Do we really have no choice other than this...?" Ming Lu sullenly asked.
Ho Shi also sighed and shook his head.
"No. There's away, however, it will take time." Qing Jiang Mei answered.
"Huh...? What do you mean, Ge-Ge?" Ming Lu brightly asked.
"If Ms. Yue could not pass the audition, we can ask her to audition the 8th soundtracks." Qing Jiang Mei further comply.
"8th soundtracks?" Ho Shi asked.
"Yes. We haven't found the right singer, right? I have been thinking to make the person who sings the ending theme to also sing the 8th soundtracks. But we can't have Mrs. Xie to sing that song too."
"Do you mean... We make could make her sing the song?..." Ming Lu paused and tilted his head. "But what good would it be if she sings the 8th soundtrack?... In the end, she still couldn't sing the ending theme."
"This is why I told you that it will take time! " Qing Jiang Mei added. "When they heard the 8th soundtrack and the ending theme, the audiences would know who deserve to be praise!- Bai!!" Qing Jiang Mei called his assistant.
The assistant ran to him in a hurry. "Yes, Mr. Qing?"
"Where is the auditioning paper for the 8th soundtrack?" Qing Jiang Mei raised his hand.
"Er... This." The assistant checked his bag before giving the paper.
"Good, now go and tell who wins the audition!" Qing Jiang Mei further ordered.
"Yes!" Qing Jiang Mei's assistant walked out of the room with the other judges.
Seeing this, Xie Hue Lin's previous dark expression lightened. As if she was waiting for her crown, Xie Hue Lin prepared herself to be nominated as the winner.
And as she expected, Xie Hue Lin did win the audition.
"The auditioner who would be singing the ending theme "Moon Beside The Night Sky" Would be Ms. Xie Hue Lin! Thank you very much for participating and have a good day!" The assistant spoke.
Xie Hue Lin smiled, she glanced toward Li Lian hideously and subconsciously shattered her kind face. 'Even if you sing it better than me, as long as your opponent is me, you could never win!!!!'
Han Xiu Nan also smiled, she rather has another person win the audition than Li Lian. Whoever she is, she didn't care as long as it isn't Li Lian.
Li Lian stayed silent... As if she knew that this would happen.
He Chang Min also stole a glance at Li Lian. For a moment, his expression turned dark.
The people inside the hall separated between the people who support Xie Hue Lin and Li Lian.
Although they knew that Li Lian sang the song better and far more beautiful than Xie Hue Lin, they would rather support Xie Hue Lin whose fame would surely skyrocket than an unknown newbie with no agency.
Some also bitterly commented about Xie Hue Lin, knowing that she must have pulled some strings behind the audition.
Li Lian took her purse and stood up from her seat. With an expressionless look, she walked toward the hall's door silently.
As she was about to step out of the hall, Qing Jiang Mei quickly chased her and stopped her from leaving.
"Ms. Yue!!"
Li Lian turned her face toward Qing Jiang Mei and bowed slightly. "Mr. Qing."
