Seeing Joseph in that moment, Ren He felt that the committee for this piano competition really went all out. Joseph was no stranger to serving as a celebrity judge on foreign talent shows, but his appearance fee started at $120,000 each time, which was about 960,000 RMB when converted to the domestic currency. Now, even the top-tier celebrities in the country probably wouldn't fetch higher than that for a commercial performance, unless they were an exceptional few, like Yang Xi.
Yang Xi's appearance fee had been raised to 2 million RMB per event, and that was just for singing two songs. Keep in mind that other stars might sing for over two hours at a concert and only earn between 200 and 600 thousand RMB.
