Fang Xiaole was speechless for a moment.
In fact, at the program department’s year-end summary meeting last year, Fang Xiaole felt that Director Chen must have guessed something.
But unexpectedly, after the Spring Festival, Chen Zhao suddenly became so sure and asked him directly in person.
"Do you really think I'm so easy to hide?"
Chen Zhao pointed at him angrily, "You only told your sister Li, but not me? Only your sister Li is your benefactor, not me? Your Lin Yao's Golden Melody Award for Best Singer also has my vote!"
Fang Xiaole knew that Chen Zhao liked to joke around and wasn't really angry, but now he really couldn't hide it anymore, so he simply admitted it generously:
"Lin Yao and I are indeed in a relationship, Mr. Chen. I'm sorry, I didn't mean to hide it from you. As you know, it's very sensitive for female artists to be in a relationship."
Chen Zhao glanced at him sideways and suddenly laughed:
"You're such a good kid! No wonder the idea for your new show is to have female celebrities fall in love with other people, and you're even going to be in it yourself! You've got a show, and you've got a relationship, you're not hindering your career or your love life at all!"
Fang Xiaole said, "Mr. Chen...if you think it's inappropriate, how about I change the plan and not invite Lin Yao, but other female artists?"
Chen Zhao immediately said, "You wish! Your Queen must come, or I will make things difficult for you in the future!"
Li Wan was laughing secretly with his hands covering his mouth beside him. Only then did Chen Zhao realize that this kid was cheating him.
"You kid..." Chen Zhao pointed at Fang Xiaole and laughed.
Fang Xiaole said seriously, "Director Chen, Lin Yao asked me to tell you that she's very grateful for voting for her at the Golden Melody Awards, and that Apple TV invited her to participate in Super Challenge when she was in the most difficult time. She's willing to help Apple TV whenever they need her in the future."
Of course, Fang Xiaole still didn't finish Lin Yao's original words.
Because Lin Yao's original words also included: "If she hadn't participated in "Super Challenge", she wouldn't have met Fang Xiaole again."
This is why Lin Yao is truly grateful to Apple TV.
However, after hearing Fang Xiaole's words, Chen Zhao's expression became serious and he said solemnly:
"Please also tell Lin Yao that since she and you are family, she is naturally our daughter-in-law. If she and her studio need anything in the future, we will fully support them!"
"Our Apple TV's daughter-in-law... Mr. Chen's words are so apt!" Li Wan smiled and agreed.
Fang Xiaole quickly stood up and said to Chen Zhao solemnly, "Then on behalf of Lin Yao, I would like to express my gratitude to the station!"
Although Chen Zhao's words "our station's daughter-in-law" sound like a joke, they actually represent the attitude of the station's leaders.
It can be said that from today on, Lin Yao and Ai Yao Studio have formed an alliance with Apple TV.
This is undoubtedly a huge help to Lin Yao, who has just become a queen and is in urgent need of consolidating her foundation, as well as the newly started Ai Yao Studio.
"Mr. Chen, speaking of Aiyao Studio, I actually..."
Fang Xiaole thought about it and still felt that he had to make it clear that he owned half of the shares in Aiyao Studio.
Since the station supports him and Lin Yao so much, he should be more honest. This is not only to build mutual trust, but also to avoid suspicion from the station leaders.
"I see."
However, Chen Zhao stopped him from continuing and said with a smile:
"Some things just need to be kept tacitly. Don't worry, Apple TV has become the number one variety show channel in China, so we have the generosity to do this. As long as we can achieve mutual benefit, no one will care about such trivial matters."
Fang Xiaole was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but say to Chen Zhao sincerely: "Thank you, Director Chen, thank you, leader!"
"Isn't that too formal?" Chen Zhao waved his hand and then asked, "By the way, is there anything else you want to talk to me about?"
"Yes, it's about the new show. I have a preliminary guest list here."
Fang Xiaole handed the list he had printed out in advance to Chen Zhao. He didn't know Li Wan was there, so he only printed out one copy. He then took out his mobile phone, retrieved the list saved in it, and showed it to Li Wan.
Then he added, "This list is not complete. I left a few blanks at the end. If Mr. Chen and the station leaders have suitable recommendations, I will add them immediately. We will consider them comprehensively based on the situation of the program and the opinions of the leaders."
Li Wan couldn't help but turn his head to look at Fang Xiaole and secretly gave him a thumbs up.
Mature.
Fang Xiaole is now a hot commodity among variety show directors, and many artists will definitely want to participate in his new show.
The leaders of the station will certainly face requests from various acquaintances, who will want to use their connections to squeeze into Fang Xiaole’s new program.
In fact, this kind of thing is a bit difficult for the leaders of the station. After all, only the program director has the final say on which artists are suitable to be guests of the program.
If the station leaders accept all these requests for favors and cram them all into new programs, it will inevitably affect the quality of the programs.
But if no one agrees, how can you ask for help when you need it in the future?
On one hand, there is the issue of program quality, and on the other hand, there is the need to maintain personal connections. The station leaders are indeed in a dilemma about this matter, and Chen Zhao has not figured out how to bring this up to Fang Xiaole.
Unexpectedly, Fang Xiaole took the initiative to bring it up, which naturally gave the leader a good way out.
They can also give an explanation to the requests of acquaintances.
"I've already told Xiao Fang about the person you recommended, but whether it will work out depends on whether your person is suitable for this program. Anyway, I've tried my best, so please don't blame me if it doesn't work out."
