One of the staff members said, "Director Liu, if this video is released online, it will be an excellent opportunity for Bai Qianmo to turn her career around. With her abilities, she can completely replace Wu Youxuan as the MC."
“I think so too. Bai Qianmo really has the ability and experience in this area. Instead of promoting Wu Youxuan who only knows how to act like a diva, it would be more practical to promote Bai Qianmo directly.”
Liu Jinpeng also looked thoughtful; he had the same thought when he saw the video.
But then he hesitated again, thinking about how Bai Qianmo was now being universally criticized online.
"Hey, Director Liu, it's really lively here." Yang Caiwen lifted the tent flap and walked in.
The staff inside immediately fell silent.
Seeing that Yang Caiwen's arrival was ill-intentioned, Liu Jinpeng forced a smile and said, "Caiwen, you're here. Come on, come sit down."
Yang Caiwen walked to an empty chair and sat down, giving the people present a cold and arrogant glance.
"I just overheard you guys trying to promote Bai Qianmo? Director Liu, do you know how badly Bai Qianmo is being criticized online right now? Do you really think this video can change everyone's impression of her?"
Liu Jinpeng wiped his sweat guiltily: "They're talking nonsense, I didn't have such thoughts."
Yang Caiwen smiled lightly and said, "I know Director Liu isn't that stupid. Besides, the 'Go Fighting!' team has a contract with Hesong. Director Liu knows very well why we, Youxuan, took on this variety show at a lower price. This isn't a one-off deal; we'll have many more opportunities to work together in the future. Let's not hurt our relationship, okay?"
Liu Jinpeng smiled awkwardly and didn't say anything more.
Yang Caiwen continued, "Could I speak with Director Liu alone for a moment?"
Liu Jinpeng waved to the others: "You guys go back and rest first."
After everyone left the tent, Yang Caiwen took a check out of his pocket and placed it in front of Liu Jinpeng.
Upon seeing the number on the check, Liu Jinpeng's eyes gleamed with greed.
"Caiwen, what's wrong?"
"Director Liu, this is a small token of my appreciation. Please accept it."
"How could I possibly accept this? As the saying goes, one shouldn't accept a reward without merit!" Liu Jinpeng said politely, but his eyes were fixed on the check.
Liu Jinpeng was just a small-time director at a TV station, incomparable to the famous directors in the entertainment industry. Suddenly, someone delivered a check for five million yuan, which was an absolute temptation for someone who could only earn the meager salary from the TV station.
Yang Caiwen's gaze fell on the video: "Director Liu, I have a way to achieve a win-win situation for us."
Liu Jinpeng frowned slightly and blinked his beady glasses.
"Tell me about it." Five million was sent over all at once; it seems Yang Caiwen's story won't be simple.
Yang Caiwen laughed and said, "Old Meng is Youxuan's photographer, and Youxuan was also the closest to Old Meng at the time. If everyone thought that Old Meng was saved by Youxuan, this news would definitely attract a lot of attention online."
Seeing Liu Jinpeng remain silent, Yang Caiwen continued, "Youxuan has always had a very positive public image. Not only is her character guaranteed, but she also frequently participates in various charitable donations. To be honest, if everyone believed that it was Youxuan who saved Lao Meng, the image of our variety show 'Go Fighting!' would be even more prestigious. Conversely, if it was Bai Qianmo who saved Lao Meng, netizens across the country would be ready to drown her in their spittle right now. How could they possibly believe that Bai Qianmo would risk her life to save someone?"
Guo Jinpeng looked at Yang Caiwen with a meaningful expression: "So you want to?"
"Use this five million to buy the video that Director Liu has."
This is the only video recording available. Only Du Muchen's cameraman filmed the entire process, and Liu Jinpeng immediately retrieved the camera. Therefore, this video recording is currently unique.
He exchanged five million for a video recording, and considering that Wu Youxuan could replace Bai Qianmo to save Lao Meng, it seems he suffered no loss at all.
After a moment of deep thought, Liu Jinpeng reached out and put the check away.
“Caiwen, this isn’t the first time we’ve worked together. Of course I won’t refuse to do something you’ve asked me to do.”
Yang Caiwen smiled triumphantly: "I wish us a pleasant cooperation."
*
Because Wu Youxuan was quite frightened, the "Extreme Challenge" team stopped all filming in the afternoon, and all the artists took the opportunity to rest.
Inside a tent, Du Muchen, Bai Qianmo, and Su Peishan were sitting.
Bai Qianmo had just been scolded by Du Muchen and Su Peishan. She glanced at Du Muchen on her left and then at Su Peishan on her right.
"So the two of you are now on the same side?"
Su Peishan's beautiful face was full of disdain, and she curled her lips in a disdainful glance: "I'm not familiar with that person. Don't try to change the subject. As your manager, I have an obligation to ensure your safety. You almost lost your life, and I can't even say a few words to you?"
"Yes, whatever Sister Su says is right." Bai Qianmo chose not to resist the policy.
This method is most effective for Su Peishan, and Bai Qianmo has tried it many times without fail.
Sure enough, the assertive Su Peishan immediately felt a little uncomfortable.
"When I heard that you saved someone from the jaws of a crocodile, I was almost scared to death. But this kind of heroic act is still commendable. However, in the future, you should make sure to protect your own safety before saving others, understand?"
Bai Qianmo nodded obediently, readily admitting her mistake.
Even though she thought jumping into the water to save someone was nothing special, she understood that in the eyes of an ordinary person, her actions were beyond what ordinary people could comprehend.
