Chapter 349 - 348
"Hmph!" Huo Qianfang said angrily, "I want to win against her fair and square, not by using such petty tricks. If this gets out, won’t people think that it was I who sabotaged her, which is why I won this first place?"
The producer bowed his head silently, but in his heart, he was muttering: Wasn’t the plagiarism incident done by you, Ying’er?
Just then, someone hurried into the doorway, and as soon as they entered, they said anxiously, "Bad news, Director Wang, the two singers we invited, one was sent to the hospital with a sudden heart attack, and the other has suddenly developed laryngitis and can’t sing tonight!"
"What?" The producer almost jumped up, "How could this happen? Both of them had an accident at the same time?"
"Yes, they were just sent away!" The newcomer said anxiously, "What should we do now? Director Wang, the competition is about to start, and without these two, we don’t have enough program time, how do we continue with the competition?"
"Is there anyone else available now?" the producer asked urgently. If this matter wasn’t handled properly, it could turn into a very serious broadcast accident.
In these live broadcast competitions, it’s often the practice to invite one or two extra singers. If any of the other singers run into unforeseen circumstances, the invited singers can temporarily step in to fill in for the competitors and the program time.
If the number of contestants and program time were insufficient, even if it were truly a sudden illness, when speaking about it to the public, it’s likely that many would suspect something fishy. Moreover, two singers becoming ill at once is an event that just doesn’t happen – it would be hard to make anyone believe it if it were explained away.
This program had cost the producer a considerable amount of hard work and was his most important project. If this program could be successfully completed, he would definitely make it among the top domestic producers. But if it failed, it would be the end for him. The program had cost a lot of money and resources, and he simply couldn’t afford a failure!
