Chapter 213 Guests Gathered
Ye Xingyao, the heroine in Lin Xi's MV.
Because of her sweet appearance, she quickly became popular after collaborating with Lin Xi on an MV. Later, Ye Xingyao switched to the entertainment industry. Since Ye Xingyao was not a professional, her acting skills were not very good, so she has always been in a tepid state.
"I can try."
The director did not agree immediately.
He didn't know much about the "Ye Xingyao" that Lin Xi mentioned.
The director must first investigate Ye Xingyao's background so that he can know whether he can successfully invite her.
"If you could invite her..."
Lin Xi pursed her lips and said, "I'm willing to cut my pay in half."
director:"?"
How come there is another female guest whose pay is cut in half?
"No?"
Seeing that the director didn't respond for a long time, Lin Xi felt a little disappointed.
"OK……"
The director, having recovered, quickly said to Lin Xi, "Of course, I'll contact Ye Xingyao you mentioned first. If it's successful, we can discuss further cooperation. How about that?"
"good."
Lin Xi agreed.
She sent Ye Xingyao's contact information.
After hanging up Lin Xi's call, the director immediately called Ye Xingyao: "Excuse me, is this Teacher Ye?"
"Who are you?"
Ye Xingyao's voice is very sweet.
Because the director's number was unfamiliar, her tone was somewhat wary: "Why do you have my number?"
"I'm the director of the variety show 'Little Cupid'."
The director said straight to the point: "I would like to invite you to participate in our program. Are you willing?"
Ye Xingyao hasn't received a suitable script for a long time.
But she had never heard of the variety show "Little Cupid", so she asked curiously: "What do you do?"
"Dating variety show."
The director spoke frankly: "The theme of our variety show is love. In addition, there will be a setting called 'Little Cupid' in the variety show. Little Cupid will be your good helper in love."
Dating variety show?
Ye Xingyao didn't really want to participate in a dating variety show.
"Never mind, I won't..."
Who knew that before I even uttered the word 'I want to go', the director of "Little Cupid" smiled and said, "The salary is negotiable."
Because the pay of Wen Yu, Song Shinian and Lin Xi has been cut in half, the director currently has ample funds.
"How much can you give?"
Ye Xingyao asked tentatively.
The director of "Little Cupid" slowly said a number.
Ye Xingyao: “!”
She hadn't seen such a high pay in a long time.
Seeing that Ye Xingyao across from him hadn't responded yet, the director asked doubtfully, "Is the pay not enough? I can still increase it..."
"That's enough."
Ye Xingyao is a person who knows when to quit.
Since the director of "Little Cupid" has already shown his sincerity, there is no need for her to ask for a higher price.
"Whenever the contract is signed, I'm ready."
Ye Xingyao asked impatiently.
“Ahem…”
Hearing the excited tone of the other party, the director coughed twice and said, "Our love variety show may be a little different from traditional love variety shows..."
"What's the difference?"
Ye Xingyao's voice was filled with confusion.
"There are three couples in our dating show this time. One is a boy and a boy, one is a girl and a girl, and one is a boy and a girl."
Ye Xingyao opened her eyes wide in shock.
Has the entertainment industry developed to this point now?
"The other guests have already been confirmed..."
The director remained calm and made up a lie: "Now we only have female couples, and we're still missing one female guest. I wonder if you can accept that?"
"this……"
Ye Xingyao hesitated.
"If you agree, I'll give you another 5%."
The director once again used money as bait.
really……
When Ye Xingyao heard that the director was willing to add another 5%, she nodded decisively: "No need to say more, I agree."
After all, who can resist money?
Things went even more smoothly than the director had imagined.
The two reached a cooperation, and the director politely hung up the phone. He quickly called Lin Xi back.
Lin Xi seemed to be waiting next to the phone. Less than a second after the director dialed the number, the call was connected by Lin Xi on the other end.
"How is it? Did she agree?"
"Agreed."
The director didn't keep the audience in suspense, but spoke directly.
"good……"
Lin Xi smiled and nodded: "Then I will also participate in your program. According to our previous agreement, my salary will be reduced by half."
"no problem."
After hanging up the phone, the director breathed a sigh of relief.
Song Shinian and Wen Yu teaming up gave him a good inspiration, but I wonder if the program team can make it popular with this design...
Thinking of this, the director felt a little worried and a little expectant.
All the directors who had worked with Song Shinian and Wen Yu before became famous, so he shouldn’t be the first exception, right?
The director opened Weibo again.
Because the director had a relatively ample budget, he found a male artist who debuted as a child star and a female artist who also debuted as a child star.
Both of them have been in the entertainment industry for a long time. Although they are not too old, they have debuted longer than many artists. One of these two artists is called Su An, who is affectionately called "the national son" by netizens, and the other artist is called Lin Jianyue, who is affectionately called "the national daughter" by netizens.
Because they all debuted as child stars, they are more popular with the public.
The director thought the two of them were a good match, so he asked his friends in the circle for their contact information.
Things are going exceptionally smoothly.
Both artists have free time recently, and after hearing the remuneration offered by the director, they agreed to participate in "Little Cupid".
After hanging up the phone again, the director breathed a sigh of relief.
The artists currently confirmed to participate in "Little Cupid" are Song Shinian, Wen Yu, Lin Xi, Ye Xingyao, Su An and Lin Jianyue. Once he finds three more children, the recording can begin.
…
It was five days later that Song Shinian and Wen Yu received the call.
The director of "Little Cupid" spoke in a very cheerful voice: "Teacher Song, Teacher Wen, all the guests have gathered. How about we start recording next Friday?"
The director of "Little Cupid" doesn't want to wait any longer.
He watched his friends in the circle getting rich one after another, and he was so jealous that he couldn't sleep, so he decided to work hard, work hard, and work hard again.
"OK."
Song Shinian and Wen Yu had no objection.
Neither of them has any new schedule at the moment, so they can naturally prepare to participate in the recording of "Little Cupid" next Friday.
"That……"
The director coughed twice. "Can you please help me retweet the official Weibo account of 'Little Cupid'? Our production team is a bit obscure. I spent money to hire water army, but the number of views still hasn't exceeded 10,000..."
At the end, the director's tone was inexplicably guilty.
He accidentally bought some unreliable water army.
Before he spent the money, the other party clearly said that they could help his Weibo post get over 100,000 views, over 1,000 comments and add 1,000 followers, but the final effect was not even one-tenth of it. The director was furious and wanted to find the other party to argue, but he found that the other party had already blocked and deleted him.
Out of desperation, the director could only seek help from Wen Yu and Song Shinian.
After all, the two of them are now living traffic...
"sure."
Wen Yu agreed without hesitation.
Anyway, he and Song Shinian will participate in "Little Cupid" sooner or later, so it won't do any harm to them to promote the program in advance.
