The director, a veteran in the entertainment industry, is well-informed. The reason he agreed to let Lian Mo be a guest was not only because of personal connections, but also because he was worried that if the first episode didn't generate enough buzz, he could use Lian Mo to create hype.
The director and Jian Yu repeatedly assured that they would not give Lian Mo too many shots, and even less the opportunity to clear his name.
"Mr. Jian, you can trust me. Variety shows can make someone gain fans quickly, or they can instantly be embroiled in scandals."
"I've heard another saying: black and red are still red."
In the entertainment industry, people will stop at nothing to become famous. Framing and slander are common, and self-directed and self-acted scandals are even more prevalent. So-called "black fame" is mostly just self-promotion by artist companies to promote their own artists.
"It wouldn't be that bad for just one episode."
Even the director himself wasn't confident in his statement.
"Tell me the truth, what's your relationship with him?"
On the one hand, they say they want to focus on making the show, but on the other hand, they use the guests' scandals to create hype, which is obviously contradictory.
Lin Beichen was recommended to the program team by Susan through Lian Mo, and it's normal that Lian Mo himself has some relationship with the director.
The director said, "It has nothing to do with us."
He was just friends with Lian Mo's relative's classmate.
It really has nothing to do with Lian Mo.
"Yeah?"
Jian Yu didn't believe it at all.
They immediately began investigating the relationship between the director and Lian Mo, and within two minutes, they had a clear understanding of their connection.
Two days ago, the chief director and Lian Mo and a group of people had a meal together.
Before filming began, Lian Mo went to the recording site in the director's van.
They all agreed to reserve the most engaging and meaningful segments for Lian Mo, and even said it didn't matter.
Even if these two segments only last ten minutes, the broadcast effect will be better than that of guests who have an hour of screen time.
When Jian Yu saw the script for the guest interview segment, he couldn't help but frown.
Lian Mo's questions may seem sharp and pointed, but if answered well, they can actually win over more fans.
Conversely, this is an interview transcript in which someone climbed to the top by stepping on Lin Beichen.
Jian Yu had used online public opinion to deal with Yu Hao and Qi Yuexi before, so he naturally knew how powerful it was.
If handled properly, even black can be turned into white.
It seems the director had already discussed it with Lian Mo; the program was part of his plan to clear his name.
Instead of making any further requests to the director, Jian Yu collected all of Lian Mo's dirt on him.
We'll wait for the show to air.
Want to climb to the top by stepping on Lin Beichen? Dream on.
There's a lot of dirt on Lian Mo; it took Jian Yu an entire night to collect and organize it all.
I drifted off to sleep on the table in a daze.
Yan Shi is leaving in the next couple of days.
I packed my luggage in the house early in the morning.
When the luggage was half packed, the Yan family's butler came to visit.
Yan Shi thought he had come to see her and was quite surprised, "You could have just called if you needed something, why did you come all the way here?"
The butler didn't beat around the bush and handed him two invitations.
"This was sent to me by the old lady."
Yan opened it out of curiosity.
One is a simplified version.
The other one is by Huo Tingzhen.
Why did Grandma invite Jian Yu and Huo Tingzhen to her small concert?
The butler looked around to make sure no one could hear him before answering in a low voice.
"The old lady wants to matchmake the eldest young master and Miss Huo. She has extended two invitations to Miss Huo in the past few days, but she has declined both times. Therefore, the old lady thought of holding a concert and inviting Jian Yu and Miss Huo at the same time."
Grandma Yan didn't like Jian Yu, so she didn't send him an invitation. As a result, she found that she couldn't get Huo Tingzhen to come no matter what she did.
Remembering that Huo Tingzhen had said she was accompanying Jian Yu at the birthday banquet, Old Madam Huo then tried to extend an invitation to Jian Yu.
"Inviting Huo Tingzhen to a concert, but inviting Jian Yu to perform for them live?"
"The old lady heard that Jian Yu played the piano quite well, so she thought of inviting her to perform."
Yan Shi returned the invitation to the housekeeper, saying, "Take it back! Tell Grandma not to play matchmaker; Miss Huo and my brother are impossible."
The butler put his hands behind his back and took a step back. "My young master! This is an order from the old lady, and you are required to complete it. If you refuse without even delivering it, the old lady will be furious."
He said, "Even if we send it, Miss Huo won't go."
Butler: "How will you know if you don't try?"
At that moment, he said, "Giving it away is pointless."
The two of them pulled and tugged at each other, waking up Jian Yu who was fast asleep inside the house.
Jian Yu rubbed his eyes and went out to check.
Upon hearing Jian Yu open the door, Yan Shi stopped pulling.
The butler seized the opportunity to step forward, "Miss Jian Yu, it's been a long time, you're still as beautiful as ever."
Jian Yu paused for two seconds before remembering who he was.
"You've come to see Yan Shi?"
"No, no, no... I came to find you."
Looking for me?
The butler pointed behind him, "The old lady has invited you and Miss Huo to a concert, and hopes you will do her the honor of attending."
"Tingzhen is quite busy, I don't know if she has any free time."
“Miss Jian Yu, if you go, she will probably go too.”
Jian Yu looked him up and down. "Where is the concert?"
"The old lady booked a whole studio and invited a lot of people to perform."
"Tingzhen lives next door, why don't you send the invitation to her?"
The butler's lips twitched. "I have something urgent to attend to. Could you please help me deliver this?"
"......"
Jian Yu hadn't realized it before, but now she felt that Butler Yan was afraid to deliver it.
The invitation is sent out; whether the invitee attends or not is their business.
Why is Butler Yan acting so strangely?
With some doubt, Jian Yu walked over and opened the invitation.
I checked the address, and it's just a regular concert!
"Just leave it there! I'll send it over, but I don't know if Tingzhen will go."
“I will definitely go. As long as you ask, Miss Jian Yu, Miss Huo will definitely be willing to go with you.”
Jianyu, “…”
Jian Yu was now certain that Old Madam Yan had been rejected by Huo Tingzhen.
"I'm not planning to go!"
Butler Yan, “…”
He almost burst out laughing when he said that.
Butler Yan forced a smile. "Miss Jian Yu really loves to joke. Hehe... I've delivered the invitation. You and Miss Huo, remember to come on time. I have other matters to attend to, so I'll head back now."
After saying that, he turned and left quickly.
Jian Yu looked at the suitcase on the ground. "Are you going home tonight?"
“My mom wants me to go back home. I should leave home for Africa tomorrow.”
“Your family should have known you weren’t going to study in Europe when you boarded the plane.”
Therefore, Yan Shi did not intend to have his family see him off.
“Feng Mi hasn’t left yet. She’ll definitely take you to the airport. Aren’t you afraid she’ll stop you there?”
He revealed a sly smile, "Of course I guessed that, so I told them I would be leaving the day after tomorrow."
Actually, I'm leaving at six o'clock tomorrow morning.
