"Teacher Xiao, please wait a moment!"
Xiao He was stopped, looking somewhat puzzled, but still managed a smile: "What's wrong? Does Director Li have any other questions?"
Seeing Xiao He stop, Li Qing rubbed his hands together and said somewhat apologetically, "Teacher Xiao, I'm really sorry, I know you've been quite busy lately, but I really have something I want to discuss with you. Could you give me another ten minutes? I promise to keep it brief."
Xiao He paused for a moment, then glanced at the aisle next to him where people were coming and going, and nodded: "Sure, Director Li, let's go to a quieter place to talk."
"Okay, okay, thank you, thank you so much."
Li Qing's face lit up with joy, and he hurriedly led Xiao He in another direction.
Xiao He, however, whispered to Xiao Chen beside him, "Go outside and call Sister Liu over."
"good."
Xiao Chen quickly walked outside.
Generally, the directors of these gala performances are invited directors from within the industry, with variety show directors being one of the most frequently invited groups. This is mainly because the variety shows they are responsible for often also have related stage presentations, so most variety show directors are invited to be in charge of the gala performances for these short-term large-scale events in addition to being in charge of their own variety shows.
Director Li Qing, for example, is in charge of some variety shows and usually deals with variety show artists and announcements. However, Xiao He, as a pure actor, has hardly ever been in contact with this type of director and does not know much about these directors, as well as the program content they are good at and responsible for.
However, since they were all in the same industry, Xiao He naturally wouldn't give these directors a hard time. Even though they suddenly stopped him and seemed to want to talk to him about work, Xiao He didn't refuse.
Finally, guided by Li Qing, Xiao He arrived at a temporary rest room.
As soon as he sat down, Li Qing couldn't wait to say what he was there for: "Teacher Xiao, I'm very sorry for my abruptness. I have a variety show script that I'd like to invite you to act in, but I haven't received a reply yet. We're in a bit of a hurry, so I came directly to you. I'm really sorry."
No reply?
Xiao He raised an eyebrow.
They've most likely already been rejected.
After all, it's a variety show invitation... To be honest, Xiao He really has no interest in it.
Moreover, at this stage, Xiao He's acting career is on the rise, and he already has scripts for next year booked until the second half of the year. Xiao He really doesn't have time to waste on variety shows.
But this one seems like she hasn't given up yet...
"I'm so sorry, Director Li."
After considering for a moment, Xiao He politely declined, saying, "To be honest, my work schedule for next year is mostly overseas, and I don't currently have any plans to take on variety shows."
"So—" I'm afraid I'll have to disappoint you...
Before Xiao He could finish speaking, Li Qing quickly explained, "Teacher Xiao, I know you're currently very busy with work and have no intention of becoming a regular on variety shows. However, we genuinely want to invite you to film a concept teaser short for our variety show. The script we sent to your company is for this short film, which is completely different from the script for a regular variety show. You should really consider it."
"A teaser short film for a variety show concept?"
Xiao He was somewhat puzzled.
What is this?
Seeing Xiao He's blank expression, Li Qing immediately realized that they hadn't explained things clearly, and said, "I'm sorry, Mr. Xiao, we probably didn't make it clear when we sent out the invitation. Actually, we wanted to invite you to film the promotional trailer for our variety show 'Ace Chase,' where you would mainly play the murderer in the first case."
"I see." Xiao He suddenly realized. "So I'm not going to be a guest on the show, or a NPC?"
