[165. Decryption Detective]

Cheng Qingxing soon met the producer of "The Decryption Detective".

A very young boy, probably a college student.

Bai Zhian was sitting next to him. When she saw him coming to the meeting room, she immediately waved and said with a smile, "Over here."

Cheng Qingxing trotted over, sat opposite Bai Zhian, and said in a relaxed tone: "Why is screenwriter Bai here too?"

Bai Zhian rolled her eyes at him and pushed the contract in front of him. "I pushed it to Sister Li. If I don't come, who will?"

She glanced at the people around Cheng Qingxing, then asked in confusion: "Sister Li is not coming?"

"She must be helping to negotiate other business." Cheng Qingxing slowly picked up the contract in his hand and began to read it.

In fact, there was already a similar content in the contract before, but some adjustments were made to some of the numbers, which is not a big problem.

"This is Li Mingle, the new producer." Bai Zhian raised her hand and introduced the people around her, then said gently, "He graduated from a prestigious university."

Cheng Qingxing glanced at Li Mingle. He was small and looked easy to bully. He didn't look like a top student at all.

"Hello, Mr. Cheng." Li Mingle quickly stood up and bowed to him. "I graduated from the Director and Screenwriter Department of Sichuan Film University. Please take care of me in the future."

Cheng Qingxing nodded at him and said, "I've watched your previous show, 'Black Detective Team'. The story is very interesting. If I have a chance in the future, I can learn from Bai Zhian."

"Teacher Bai Zhian has always been helpful to me." Li Mingle said with a smile, "You watched the previous show, what do you think about this cooperation?"

Cheng Qingxing thought about it, and after Sister Li talked to him, he did go back and watch a few episodes of "Black Detective Team", which is a bit like a script-killing version of the detective game.

Against the backdrop of the police station and the detective as the dual protagonists, many cases occur, and different stars are invited to play roles in the story in each episode.

"If you insist on saying there's something wrong, I feel like the show is a little poor, and the scenery isn't very good." Cheng Qingxing recalled seriously, "The snow in the episode 'Three Twenty-Seven at Night' was really fake, and it almost affected the detective's judgment."

Li Mingle and Bai Zhian were both a little surprised, probably because they didn't expect Cheng Qingxing to actually watch the show.

"Do you really watch Black Detective?"

"I definitely have to do my homework." Cheng Qingxing responded to Bai Zhian's words with a smile, "The content of the program is very interesting. I wonder if you have written anything interesting for this new program."

"Yes, but due to the confidentiality agreement, we cannot show you the script." Li Mingle nodded like a chicken pecking at rice, "We are very serious about producing the work."

Bai Zhian saw Li Mingle's disappointing look, so she waved her hand at him and said, "He should thank us. Don't be too polite to him."

Cheng Qingxing raised his eyebrows, then smiled and said, "Yes, yes, you should be polite to me. If everyone is like you, how can I survive in the future?"

"You're all the same as me. You're just mixing it up." Bai Zhian teased him.

The two of them were chatting back and forth, which made Li Mingle, who was standing aside, a little confused. He just stood there like a piece of wood, feeling very awkward.

Cheng Qingxing noticed his embarrassment, so he immediately changed the subject and asked Li Mingle: "Have you confirmed other guests for this show?"

There must be more than one person on this kind of show, and the previous formats all had two protagonists, so there must be a permanent one.

"Well... this... has not been confirmed yet." Li Mingle answered hesitantly, but he felt a little guilty, so he glanced at Bai Zhian beside him.

Bai Zhian instantly got the meaning of his signal and said directly: "He thought you could bring Zheng Xuhe along."

Cheng Qingxing pursed his lips, lowered his head and began to drink the coffee they made for him. He didn't like the taste very much and it was a little hot, so he subconsciously stuck out his tongue.

"We're not... not asking him to stay here permanently!" Li Mingle began to stutter nervously, and immediately began to explain, "We just want... just want him to come for the first period, to raise the popularity of... that... thing."

Li Mingle's voice became lower and lower. The gaze he gave Cheng Qingxing changed from bright and sharp at the beginning to disheartened. He looked directly at his fingers and stopped talking.

Bai Zhian on the side added with a smile: "The production team will pay him and will invite him, but it must be because of your face, otherwise we wouldn't dare to ask."

Cheng Qingxing nodded slightly. There would be no problem if he paid the money. "It should be just one issue, right?"

"Yes, we can only afford one issue!" Li Mingle responded immediately, looking at him with a determined look.

Cheng Qingxing was amused by his eyes, rubbed his neck, and finished his coffee. "Just go and talk to them yourselves. I can't help you with this matter."

"You can't help much!" Bai Zhian directly refuted him, "Your participation in "The Decryption Detective" is already the biggest help, and the fee you ask for is not high. The production team is very happy."

Li Mingle quickly pecking at the rice, "We also thank Sister Bai for helping us get together, otherwise we wouldn't know how to start talking to you."

"You can talk to my business directly. If it's work, I'd be happy to help." Cheng Qingxing took out a business card and handed it to Li Mingle. "You didn't kidnap someone from the university, did you?"

Bai Zhian pouted, smiled and shook her head, without directly answering his question.

"In fact, I have graduated for three years." Li Mingle said in a low voice, "I just haven't interacted with people much."

Hearing this, Cheng Qingxing understood clearly, "Are the other guests confirmed?"

"Not yet, actually. We are still inviting them." Li Mingle answered quietly, "They don't seem to like this type of mystery-type subject matter."

"It's not that I don't like it." Bai Zhian closed his eyes with a helpless expression, "It's because for shows like ours, we don't give out scripts in advance. Many big stars are unsure. What if their character image collapses?"

"This is indeed what most people worry about." Cheng Qingxing echoed that participating in this kind of unscripted reality show will cause many celebrities to expose their true selves.

Therefore, up to now, Cheng Qingxing is the only one from the program team who came to sign the contract with them.

"If it really doesn't work, then we can just cast Cheng Qingxing as the main character and let the others be guest stars." Bai Zhian said jokingly, "It just so happens that Five Nights of Strange Tales is also a detective drama. You two can be broadcasted at the same time. You will definitely be a hit."
