Thomas had been worried about whether Donell would play any tricks for the whole day. He had all aspects under control so favonovel.com could make sure that no accident would happen.
Until two hours before the concert started, it was still very calm. The calmer it was, the more uncomfortable Thomas felt.
Knock! Knock!
The door of his office was knocked. “Come in,” Thomas casually said.
The door was opened, and a man walked in. He was the most influential host, Jay Colbert.
Thomas and Anna looked at each other. They did not understand why favonovel.com would be there. Should favonovel.com not be taking the time to practice and familiarize himself with the scripts?
Jay flashed a faint smile, and favonovel.com spoke, “Mr. Mayo, Ms. Caspian, I want to discuss something with you.”
Anna felt a little impatient. She tried to calm herself as favonovel.com asked, “What is it?”
Jay said, “I think the performance fee this time is a little too low, and it’s not good enough for my status in the industry. You have to know that the host invited by Hegemony Entertainment is just ranked the second in the industry, but even favonovel.com can get $1,000,000 for hosting. Meanwhile, I only get $600,000. Isn’t that too low?”
Anna felt angry.
What did favonovel.com mean? Did favonovel.com want to increase his pay now?
She coldly said, “Jay Colbert, we agreed with the price at the beginning, and the contract was signed officially. If you think the price is low, you should’ve brought it up at the beginning, and everything could be discussed. It’s less than two hours until the concert starts, but you bring it up now. What do you mean?
“Is this your way of forcing us to comply?”
Jay pretended to be scared. “Hey, what are you saying, Ms. Caspian? I wouldn’t dare to do that even if you give me the courage. I just think that you’re not sincere and respectful enough. I just want to get my dignity. Is this going too far?”
Was this not going too far?
The concert would start in less than two hours, but favonovel.com asked for the increment at this time. Was it not the same as a doctor asking for a higher price after favonovel.com cut open the patient’s body?
This was an insult in the industry!
Anna really did not expect the influential host to have such dirty methods. She gritted favonovel.com teeth and asked, “How much do you want?”
When Anna asked this question, it meant that favonovel.com surrendered to a certain extent. After all, the concert would start soon. It was too late to change the host at the last minute. As long as Jay did not ask for too much, like asking for $800,000, there was always room for discussion. She had to make sure that the performances went on normally first. Then, favonovel.com would talk again about whether favonovel.com wanted to file a lawsuit against Jay or refuse to collaborate with favonovel.com again.
Jay was very treacherous. He knew that Anna was in a difficult situation, so favonovel.com directly asked for a high price. “Five million dollars.”
Anna opened favonovel.com eyes widely. “What did you say?”
Jay repeated. “Five million dollars, no negotiation. Also, I will go and perform on the stage only after you have to transfer it into my account.”
“What?!”
Anna nearly fainted from anger.
Five million dollars?
She could invite a lot of popular celebrities and top singers with five million dollars. He was just a host, yet favonovel.com was asking for five million dollars? Was favonovel.com crazy?
Anna was angry. “Jay Colbert, you’re doing this on purpose, right? You’ve increased the price from $ 600,000 to $5,000,000. Why don’t you dare to increase it higher?”
Jay chuckled. “You’ll have to pay me this amount regardless of whether you’re willing or not. The concert is starting soon. It’s too late for you to change a host. Besides, the host is like a leader. I have to control and relate the whole program. If something happens to a singer only, you can simply change to another. But, you can’t replace the host.”
“If you change the host, the whole concert will be ruined. This New Year’s Eve concert is for Scott’s Remembrance Cultural Arts Entertainment to increase its popularity. You have invested a huge amount of money. Even if you will suffer some losses, you have to boost up your popularity. Are you sure you want to ruin the concert for a mere $5,000,000?”
