Chapter 22 Internal strife in the production department
Hu Xiaoxiao took a sip of tea and said half-jokingly, "I do want the production team to give me a few more shots, but with so many contestants, we have to be fair, so I'm a little embarrassed to ask."
Charlie was a sharp man. He could tell Hu Xiaoxiao was a sharp-witted woman and immediately responded, "The program team has always been fair. They will naturally take extra care of contestants who sing and dance well. Xiaoxiao has been training at the TV station for so long. What do you think of our Baogang TV station?"
Hu Xiaoxiao put the teacup on the table and said seriously, "I think Baogang TV is very good and takes very good care of us contestants.
The staff at the TV station are all very enthusiastic and the atmosphere is very good. The trainers and cameramen are all very professional and patient. During the training period here, I felt very comfortable and at ease. "
"So what do you think about the future of our Baogang TV Station?" Charlie asked again.
"Of course it has a bright future!" Hu Xiaoxiao's words were not empty talk. She watched TV whenever she had time at home. She watched both Baogang Channel and Baozhu Channel, but she liked Baogang Channel more and felt that Baogang Channel did better than Baozhu Channel in many aspects.
Hu Xiaoxiao said: "I have been following several programs on TRT Hong Kong TV recently, and they are very attractive.
In terms of TV series, the recent "Heroes" on Baozhu Channel is pretty good, but I've heard that in the past, Baogang Channel produced more hit dramas than Baozhu Channel.
Moreover, the artists of Bao Hong Kong Channel are much more famous than those of Bao Zhu Channel, so they have more commercial activities..."
Charlie saw that what Hu Xiaoxiao said made sense and that he had indeed done research and considered it.
Satisfied, he stated his purpose, "Xiaoxiao, are you interested in signing with our TV station as an artist?"
Hu Xiaoxiao jokingly asked, "Can I still sign if I don't make it to the finals?"
Charlie laughed and said, "According to your conditions, even if you give up the competition now, as long as you are willing to sign with our company, I can make you famous.
Of course, if you can get a good ranking in the finals, the remuneration and salary you can get when you sign the contract will be higher.
Most of the Miss Hong Kong pageants from previous years were signed to our company, and they were all highly sought after by the company. Now, several of them are household names and rising stars.”
"I will consider it carefully and hope to have the opportunity to work under Charlie." Hu Xiaoxiao said.
Hu Xiaoxiao's attitude was clearly clear, and Charlie was very happy. He said, "No problem. If you sign with our company, you will join my team. I happen to have a lot of male artists under my command, but I lack female artists with such personality and style like you. When the time comes, I will make you the heroine in my first drama."
The two of them had a pleasant conversation. Charlie personally sent Hu Xiaoxiao out and said, "You just need to know what we talked about today."
"I know the rules." Hu Xiaoxiao was very sensible.
Charlie looked at Hu Xiaoxiao with a higher opinion. It was much easier to deal with smart people.
The Miss Hong Kong pageant is based on the principle of fairness and justice, so the judges invited to the finals are all well-known and prestigious people who can represent fairness and justice.
Even so, if the contract negotiations were to be leaked in advance, there would still be accusations of shady dealings, which would affect the company's image.
As for the worry that Hu Xiaoxiao might go back on his word, that doesn't exist.
There are only two influential TV stations in the whole of Baogang. Baogang TV occupies half of the TV market. No entertainment company dares to offend Baogang TV.
In such a complex and chaotic Baogang, the directors of the company who can get half of the profits are basically those who are involved in both black and white.
Of course, Hu Xiaoxiao had no intention of going back on her word. She did plan to sign with RT-Mart after the finals, just like previous Miss Hong Kong contestants.
T.H.I.P. is a very suitable place to debut, and is very suitable for newcomers with no foundation.
But at the same time, there are many talented people there. There are countless artists who are Miss Hong Kong, not to mention the performing talents who came out of the artist training classes.
Therefore, despite the olive branch extended by Charlie, Hu Xiaoxiao still has to continue working hard and strive to win the championship.
This year's Miss Hong Kong champion, Hu Xiaoxiao, is determined to win!
After Charlie reached an agreement with Hu Xiaoxiao, since he was sure that the other party was his, he would of course add fuel to the fire.
After going to the program department, Charlie found his old acquaintance Anna and asked her to take better care of Hu Xiaoxiao.
Anna understood the meaning of the song and said, "We won't give you any shots that are too obvious. After all, we don't want the audience to suspect there's something fishy going on. But I can think of a way to get those shots that are in the corners."
"You are a professional, just make the decision," said Charlie.
Anna laughed and said, "Are you so optimistic about Hu Xiaoxiao? There have been many good contestants in previous years, but I've never seen you so nervous. You're giving her a chance before she's even signed a contract."
Charlie gestured in a certain direction and said, "There's nothing I can do. I only realized there weren't enough people when they were needed. Now I have roles but no talent. I'm at a huge disadvantage."
Anna realized who he was talking about and said, "Good luck."
"Don't worry, I'm sure Hu Xiaoxiao will explode. Not only that, I'm going to make Hu Xiaoxiao overwhelm all the female artists under her. I'm determined to get rid of this bad grudge."
Linda had a keen eye. During her free time, she visited the program department and spotted something. She went straight to Anna and said, "You can't just give Hu Xiaoxiao extra shots. I want the same amount for Athena."
Anna was a little embarrassed. "There are only so many shots, how can we share them?"
There are already 36 contestants, and each of them needs a shot. The performance time is short, and if one more person is added, it will be even more difficult to divide them, even harder than dividing pork.
"I don't care about that. You're a professional, so you figure it out." Linda said forcefully, "From now on, Athena will get a point for whatever Charlie gives Hu Xiaoxiao. In short, we must not let his west wind overwhelm my east wind."
Anna felt a headache after hearing this, so she simply said, "Don't let your production department's internal fighting bring it to our program department, otherwise, no one will get a chance to be on camera."
Linda said, "If no one has any camera, I have no objection to that being fair and just."
Anna almost fainted from anger.
After leaving the program department, Linda called Athena aside and the two whispered for a long time.
As Zhao Yanhong passed by, she noticed Linda's fondness for Athena and muttered to herself, "What's going on? Are they going to decide the winner? It's still too early to tell who will win."
Zhao Yanhong's eyes rolled around. She found an opportunity, met Linda by chance, and went up to greet her enthusiastically.
"Sister Linda, I finally get the chance to meet my idol in person! You know, I admire you so much and always look up to you as my role model. I participated in the Miss Hong Kong pageant hoping to become a great woman like you!
I think you are truly a heroine, worthy of emulation by all women!"
