Chapter 27 Transaction
Seeing that the director hadn't spoken yet, Song Shinian mistakenly thought that the director was dissatisfied with his offer, so he continued, "As long as you are willing to give me all the photos of Wen Yu, I am willing to work with you twice for free."
The director finally reacted.
"Please wait a moment."
The director suppressed his excitement and quickly sent a message to his family on WeChat, asking them to take their phones out of the locked drawer. Finding that they could still be turned on after charging, he hurriedly said to Song Shinian across from him, "I do... I do..."
The director said "yes" several times before continuing, "I'm going to hold a talent show in half a month. Could you be a mentor for 'Pick Me'?"
"OK."
Song Shinian agreed to his request without hesitation: "As long as you give me Wen Yu's photo, I will sign a two-term contract with you."
The contracts of "Pick Me" and other mentors were all signed for nine episodes, but Song Shinian did not want any remuneration, only wanted photos. This was a golden opportunity for the director, so he agreed to Song Shinian without hesitation.
The deal between the two was reached.
This led to Song Shinian becoming the mentor of "Pick Me".
Wen Yu, who was outside the door, was confused.
...Unpublished photos?
What did Song Shinian want with the photos that were not made public during his lifetime?
Just when Wen Yu was stunned, Song Shinian came out with Wen Yu's photo.
Seeing Wen Yu standing at the door of the room, a hint of surprise flashed in Song Shinian's eyes. He subconsciously hid Wen Yu's photo behind him and walked forward with an expressionless face.
The two of them didn't have much personal connection, and Song Shinian didn't plan to greet Wen Yu. Instead, Wen Yu looked at Song Shinian who was about to leave and called out, "Teacher Song..."
Song Shinian paused and looked at Wen Yu.
"Thank you."
Wen Yu was talking about Song Shinian sending him to the infirmary.
If Lu Ran hadn't told him in person, he wouldn't have believed that Song Shinian would carry him, who was so dirty, to the infirmary.
"Um."
Song Shinian didn't say "You're welcome", but responded coldly: "Is there anything else?"
have.
Wen Yu was very curious about why Song Shinian wanted his photo, but when he thought that he was no longer the "Wen Yu" he used to be, he was not qualified to inquire so much, so he shook his head.
Seeing this, Song Shinian turned and left.
Wen Yu looked at Song Shinian's departing back, his expression dazed for a few seconds. He didn't know if it was his illusion, but he always felt that he seemed to have seen Song Shinian somewhere...
"Wen Yu? Is that you?"
The door was not closed.
The director clearly heard Wen Yu talking to Song Shinian: "Just come in."
"good."
Wen Yu responded.
"What do you want from me?"
The director looked at Wen Yu in front of him curiously.
"I want to withdraw from the draft."
Wen Yu directly stated his purpose.
"no!"
It was exactly as Wen Yu had imagined, and the director rejected him without a second thought.
The director didn't expect that after waiting so long, what he got was the news that Wen Yu was going to withdraw. The joy of reaching a cooperation with Song Shinian was somewhat diluted by the news that Wen Yu wanted to withdraw from "Pick Me". He looked at Wen Yu seriously and said, "You signed a contract with the program team before. If you withdraw for personal reasons, you will have to pay liquidated damages."
"I know."
Lu Ran has already explained the penalty for breach of contract to Wen Yu.
Looking at the director's nervous expression, Wen Yu curled the corners of his lips nonchalantly: "Five hundred thousand, how should I give it to you?"
“You…you…”
The director couldn't believe that Wen Yu could actually come up with 500,000 yuan. His expression became increasingly nervous: "You...you can't quit...you...you..."
The director thought for a long time but couldn't come up with a suitable reason. He could only say bluntly: "I don't care! Everyone else can quit "Pick Me", but you can't!"
Are you kidding me?
Wen Yu is now the cash cow of the program team.
Because of the popularity brought by Wen Yu's first stage performance, many advertisers found him and wanted to cooperate with "Pick Me". When the program was recorded to the third episode, Song Shinian was about to leave. He was counting on Wen Yu to earn traffic for the program team. How could Wen Yu leave?
Of course, Wen Yu couldn't come up with 500,000 yuan now.
If it were in the past, 500,000 yuan would be enough for him to act in one episode of a TV series, but unfortunately, things are different now. Let alone 500,000 yuan, he can't even come up with 50,000 yuan.
Wen Yu naturally had no intention of paying the program team any penalty for breach of contract. This was just a negotiation strategy.
"Then let's do this..."
Wen Yugu said with difficulty: "Let's make a deal."
"What deal?"
The director looked at Wen Yu uneasily.
"I remember the second phase is about teamwork, right? Can you tell me the rules of the game?"
The director didn't know what Wen Yu was up to, but he had no better choice at the moment, so he could only tell Wen Yu the rules of the next episode in detail.
The rules were pretty much the same as Wen Yu had imagined.
"How about this..."
Wen Yu suggested, "Except for Lu Ran, I'm willing to include the remaining ten players rated 'F' into the team."
"……What?"
The director looked at Wen Yu in disbelief.
"If I lead them to first place in the team competition, even if I win the bet, the production team must agree to my contract termination. If I don't lead them to first place, I will stay here until the end of your show..."
This is an impossible task.
The contestants rated "F" have a much lower overall strength than other contestants. The director believes that Wen Yu can prevent them from being eliminated, but he does not believe that Wen Yu can lead them to win first place.
"All members of the "F" class were promoted to "A"..."
Wen Yu saw the hesitation in the director's eyes and said in a gentle and seductive voice, "It's quite interesting to think about, isn't it?"
There have been at least eight, if not ten, talent shows held in recent years, but among so many talent shows, there has never been such a precedent.
As long as Wen Yu selects ten trainees rated "F", it will definitely become a hot topic on Weibo.
No one dislikes the drama of "counterattack". Wen Yu's choice is shocking enough, so the second episode of "Pick Me" will definitely become a hit because of Wen Yu's choice.
"this……"
The director was moved.
But he still didn't want to take the risk.
What if Wen Yu’s team is eliminated?
With so many players rated "F", the probability of Wen Yu's team being eliminated is still very high...
"Are you afraid I'll be eliminated?"
As if sensing the director's concerns, Wen Yu directly proposed a solution: "This problem is also easy to solve. Our team originally consists of twelve people, and your program's rule is to eliminate eleven people per episode. Wouldn't it be better to set up a temporary resurrection card?"
"If netizens choose me to be resurrected, then I can still stay on the 'Pick Me' stage; if netizens don't choose me to be resurrected, it means I'm not as popular as others. Your production team values popularity the most. If someone is more popular than me, wouldn't it be better to let them stay?"
