Chapter 97: Finding a Suitable "One of Our Own"

At this moment, both Luo Jiayin and Director Xu were completely speechless.

Director Xu quickly chuckled twice to ease the awkwardness.

"Ah, haha..."

"Um, what was Professor Luo Jia trying to say to me just now?" Director Xu asked.

Luo Jiayin didn't mind at all, and maintained a polite smile and humble attitude throughout.

"It's nothing important, I just wanted to ask Director Xu if you have any suitable candidates in mind for this episode's non-celebrity guests."

"Well, this is a problem..." Director Xu scratched his hair, his brows furrowed tightly.

Luo Jiayin also noticed Director Xu's expression.

It's no wonder that Director Xu is so conflicted.

Originally, the problem was that it was difficult to invite guests on the spot, so there was no rush to solve it. Luo Jiayin suggested using ordinary people, which perfectly solved the guest problem, but they all knew that it was more difficult to find ordinary people than ordinary actors or singers.

"Uh..." Director Xu stroked his chin and pondered for a while. "Professor Luo Jia, do you have any recommendations?"

Now, in Director Xu's eyes, Luo Jiayin is like an all-powerful Doraemon, always able to provide him with good ideas when he is in trouble.

As it turns out, Luo Jiayin did not waste her time today. Every word and every idea she shared with Director Xu was to the point and could effectively resolve the current predicament faced by "Hold On to the Villain's Script".

Director Xu now has complete trust in Luo Jiayin.

Based on his intuition, Director Xu guessed that the reason Luo Jiayin asked him this question was probably because she already had someone in mind whom she felt could shoulder this important responsibility.

As expected, Luo Jiayin did not disappoint him.

"I think the style and characteristics of our show are very distinctive and prominent among most variety shows. Moreover, through their excellent interpretation of the script, each guest can leave behind their own unique performance experience, which are all very valuable highlights."

Luo Jiayin paused for a moment, then continued, "Moreover, I think that even if we're going to hire an amateur, we don't necessarily have to find someone with a so-called relevant major."

"It's certainly good if they have a relevant major and are preparing to develop in the entertainment industry. They may have some basic skills, but once they become famous, they will definitely have a lot of fans."

“If we put people like this on the show from the beginning, they might not cherish the opportunity. Instead, they might use our show, ‘Hold On to the Villain’s Script,’ as a perfect springboard for their debut.”

Luo Jiayin's words enlightened Director Xu.

"Yes, yes, I was originally thinking of seeing if there were any suitable people among the students still studying at the film academy or the music academy. I didn't even think of this."

Director Xu slapped his thigh and exclaimed in admiration, "My Jia-di is so smart! How did you get such a clever head!"

Luo Jiayin remained calm and composed, and smiled shyly.

The more humble Luo Jiayin's attitude was, the more impressed Director Xu felt.

Sure enough, people who are good-looking and have a great temperament are also a level smarter than ordinary people.

Of course, Lin Manxi is an exception...

After Luo Jiayin finished speaking, she didn't wait for Director Xu to ask any questions and went straight to tell him what she had already thought of.

"Director Xu, I think someone in your production team would be quite suitable."

"Oh? Our production team?"

Director Xu was taken aback at first, then his eyes lit up.

He did consider that Luo Jia probably had the idea of ​​recommending someone to him.

He originally thought that Luo Jiayin would recommend her to someone, or someone close to her, like Yu Jiu, to give her friend a chance to gain exposure. If she became famous, she would make a fortune.

Director Xu was surprised to learn that the suitable candidate Luo Jia had mentioned was actually someone from their show, "Hold On to the Villain's Script."

"Do we have such a talented person in our group?"

"Of course, I only discovered it by chance today. So when I thought about the problems our program is currently facing, I had a flash of inspiration and came up with the idea of ​​using ordinary people."

If Director Xu could pick someone from his own crew to participate in the filming, that would be fantastic.

Firstly, these are all "our own people," so everything can be discussed. Secondly, they are, after all, our own people, and we know them well.

Moreover, the staff members in the team are practically half insiders in the industry. They are very familiar with all aspects of the program and have a wealth of work experience.

They were just behind-the-scenes staff, not the celebrities standing in front of the camera.

If I could find someone I really like, that would be wonderful!

"Brother Luo Jia, which one are you referring to?"

Director Xu rubbed his hands excitedly, his eyes burning with interest as he looked at Luo Jiayin.

Old Xu also wanted to see what kind of person could make his good "Jia Di'er" value him so much, and even feel that he could take on the "important task" of participating in the filming of the program.

Luo Jiayin was also amused by Director Xu's impatient manner.

This time, Luo Jiayin didn't try to be mysterious or evasive. She smiled slightly, then turned to look behind her, finally fixing her gaze on a spot next to the dressing table.

“Her.” Luo Jiayin pointed.

Upon hearing this, Director Xu immediately turned his gaze to the direction Luo Jiayin was pointing.

Although Yu Jiu and Sister Mei, who were eating, drinking, and just passing by, had already guessed most of what was going on, they also followed suit and looked towards the dressing table.

Yang Yang, who was the center of everyone's attention in the room, looked at the "slender jade finger" pointing straight at her not far away and suddenly felt a little dizzy, followed by a tingling sensation on her scalp.

Goodness...

It turns out that Teacher Luo Jia had been deceiving himself all along.

It wasn't that she said something she shouldn't have said that angered Teacher Luo Jia; it was clearly that Teacher Luo Jia had a plan and premeditated intention to help her gain an opportunity, but he was afraid that she would run away in fear if she knew his thoughts, so he scared her.

Yang Yang understood...

For a moment, Yang Yang was at a loss for words, not knowing whether to laugh or cry...

Teacher Luo Jia is really... very kind-hearted... It seems he truly treats her like a friend.

However, despite being moved, Yang Yang was genuinely scared!

She's just a small-time makeup artist for a TV show. What makes her so special that she gets to appear on a show with actors like Luo Jia, Gu Yingdi, and so many other famous celebrities?

She was afraid that if the camera were pointed directly at her face, she would tremble uncontrollably...

"Teacher Luo Jia..."
