"Hello." Ge Guangzhen shook hands with Tan Jinsheng, then looked at Tan Jinqi, his eyebrows moving, "Is this Tan Jinqi, Director Tan?"

Tan Jinqi smiled faintly, "Director Ge, I came here with my brother to take a look."

Ge Guangzhen looked at Tan Mo next to him. His features and brows were somewhat similar to those of Tan Jinqi and Tan Jinsheng, so he began to guess something.

"This is screenwriter Tan, right?" Ge Guangzhen asked with a smile.

Tan Mo smiled and nodded.

Chen Xinghan’s attitude may not necessarily be the same as Ge Guangzhen’s attitude.

However, it is naturally not ruled out that Chen Xinghan was pretending to obey Ge Guangzhen but actually disobeying his orders.

Therefore, Tan Jinqi and Tan Mo did not act too enthusiastic, and they kept a just right sense of propriety.

Even though Ge Guangzhen was not aware of Chen Xinghan's behavior, their attitudes were not rude.

But if Ge Guangzhen knew what Chen Xinghan did and expressed approval or even support, then the attitude of the two of them would be very worthy of him.

"It's rare to see brothers and sisters like you who are all so outstanding." Ge Guangzhen said with a smile.

Although it is rare, it does exist.

Ge Guangzhen was just being polite on the surface.

Besides, the Tan family is rich, so they spend money recklessly.

As long as you are not really hopelessly stupid, you will at least be able to achieve some results, right?

"Please take a seat, all three of you." Ge Guangzhen said again.

The three of them sat opposite Ge Guangzhen.

Chen Xinghan sat next to Ge Guangzhen.

"Teacher Tan, Deputy Director Chen should have told you the general situation yesterday, right?" Ge Guangzhen said to Tan Jinsheng.

Tan Jinsheng was humble at first, "I don't dare to be a teacher, I'm just a newcomer."

After hearing this, Ge Guangzhen thought to himself that Tan Jinsheng was the best because what he was thinking was the same as what he said.

It is good to truly realize that you are a new talent, but don't think too highly of yourself.

"No way." Ge Guangzhen said with a smile, "Teacher Tan, you may be young and a newcomer, but you are so talented in writing lyrics and composing music that you deserve to be called a teacher."

After a pause, Ge Guangzhen said, "Let's not talk too much. Let's discuss your participation in the show."

"Okay." Tan Jinsheng nodded and said, "Yesterday, Assistant Director Chen told me that the production team is interested in inviting me to participate in the second round of the challenge match. We'll discuss the details in person today, so I won't go into further details."

Ge Guangzhen nodded. It was indeed inconvenient to talk about some things on the phone.

"Has Assistant Director Chen told you about the competition system for this season?" Ge Guangzhen asked again.

"That's true." Tan Jinsheng explained the competition system again. "Did I miss anything?"

"No, this is the format of our competition this season." Ge Guangzhen said, "What we mean is that we want you to challenge the champion for one round."

"One episode?" Tan Jinsheng lowered his eyes slightly, thinking about what everyone had analyzed at home last night. "Director Ge, are you saying... I'm only participating in one episode?"

Ge Guangzhen thought that Tan Jinsheng was quite smart.

I understood what he meant from this sentence.

Talking to smart people saves a lot of trouble.

"That's right." Ge Guangzhen said with a smile.

"But... since this is a knockout round, with audience voting..." Tan Jinsheng feigned confusion, "How can we be sure I'll be eliminated after just one round?"

Ge Guangzhen raised his eyelids.

It was said before that Tan Jinsheng was a smart man.

How could a smart person not figure out how to get eliminated after participating in one episode?

I'm just asking a question even though I already know the answer.

After talking about it, he still asks questions even though he already knows the answer. It is obvious that he is not a really smart person.

Why do you have to ask clearly?

Ge Guangzhen smiled and said, "You three... don't have any recordings?"

Don't blame him for being cautious, he really has to be cautious.

"Of course not." Tan Jinsheng smiled, took out his cell phone from his pocket, opened it and showed it to them, indicating that he did not turn on the recording function.

He then turned out all his pockets and found no recording equipment inside.

None of the three brought bags, and Tan Jinqi and Tan Mo also took out their cell phones.

"Director Ge treats us like thieves. Asking us to prove our innocence like this is really insulting." Tan Jinqi said coldly, turning out his pockets. "Do you want us to take off our shoes too?"

Tan Mo was wearing a loose sweater, a white T-shirt underneath, black shorts and a pair of black suede over-the-knee boots.

There are only very tight and thin pockets on the shorts, which can't hide anything.

In this season, you can either wear a thin wool coat or windbreaker with a shirt.

Or you can do like Tan Mo and wear a T-shirt under your sweater to keep warm, without the need for a jacket.

Ge Guangzhen's face darkened before he smiled faintly, "I'm really sorry. I have to be more careful. There are too many things like this. If we have a conflict in the future and we start arguing, it would be bad if the recording was posted online."

Tan Jinqi snorted with disdain, without hiding his feelings at all.

Tan Mo ignored Ge Guangzhen's slightly gloomy face and said, "Director Ge, can you tell me now? How can you be so sure that my second brother can only participate in one episode?"

"If it was a regular audience vote, without any tricks, just based on the audience's own preferences, what if my second brother would have advanced? Of course, he is a newcomer, and maybe the possibility of advancing is not that great, but it is not as certain as Director Ge just now that my second brother will be eliminated in the first round." Tan Mo had a smile in his eyes.

Ge Guangzhen naturally wouldn't tell them all the inside stories of the show, so he said, "We've all signed contracts with the guests. Each of us will participate in a certain number of episodes. It's clearly written in black and white in the contract. We can't break the contract."

"Isn't this exactly what my second brother was asking?" Tan Mo raised an eyebrow. "The show hasn't even started recording yet, but they've already decided which guests will be on the show for how many episodes. In other words, they've already decided... when they'll be eliminated?"

It was clear that Ge Guangzhen would not say it easily, and he obviously did not want to be caught.

But Tan Mo would not allow Ge Guangzhen to play dumb at this time.

Ge Guangzhen smiled and said, "If we advance, we can sign a new contract."

"Really?" Tan Mo seized on another loophole. "But what if they're eliminated before the contracted number of episodes is up? Wouldn't that still be considered a breach of contract? Besides, when artists sign contracts, they're locked into a specific number of episodes, freeing up that time for no other work. But they still have to sign other contracts for the time within that timeframe."

"Thanks to big brother, I'm not a complete layman. Due to work, I've gotten to know some artists and know that locking in schedules is for the convenience of determining subsequent work times. My schedule is very full, how can I wait until I finish participating in these few episodes and then continue to participate if I advance?" Tan Mo curled his lips sarcastically.
