Chapter 051 The second phase is about to begin
Xie Luoshu suddenly realized: "In other words, you are now the sponsor of the program team?"
The program crew would definitely welcome the Gu Group's investment. But...what exactly does the Gu Group do? When they went to the Gu Group's building before, they only saw the clerk's workstation. They were not allowed to see anything else.
"We'll go to S City next time." Gu Yejin said.
"Yes, I understand. Thank you."
Gu Yejin was silent for a while: "I will be done in a few days."
"Okay." Xie Luoshu didn't know what to say. After thinking for a while, he said, "Then... don't work too hard. Have a good rest."
"Okay, good night."
"Good night." Xie Luoshu hung up the phone and searched S City. It's on the coast, and the weather is hot all year round. If you go there, you must bring a short-sleeved swimsuit and sunscreen.
Afterwards, Xie Luoshu also checked Gu's Group. Gu's Group was founded by Mr. Gu's father from scratch, starting with clothing, and gradually grew from a small brand to a bigger and stronger one. The Gu's trademark was added to the end.
Gu's has both affordable clothes and high-end dresses, covering men, women, young and old, with a wide variety of styles and a wide range.
Gu's Mall was founded by Ip Man-Liu. At first, it was just selling its own clothes, but later it negotiated cooperation with other brands in order to expand the market. After the mall became famous, other brands increased their value by entering Gu's Mall.
But Gu's has its own selection criteria. The ones that can be selected are of guaranteed quality and the prices match the quality. Occasionally, there will be some exceptions, such as the one where Xie Luoshu and Yanyan fished.
That area was specially opened up. Due to strict inspections in the past two years, street parks are not allowed to display goods. Some young people are fine, they just turn around and run away when the urban management comes. But it is not so good for the elderly, so Gu's opened some stores specifically for these people. It has received unanimous praise from the society.
Originally, Gu's company was planning to build a street. But due to a car accident, the plan was suspended. After Gu Yejin took over, all kinds of weird relatives wanted to get a piece of the pie, and the board members were eyeing him covetously. In order to gain a firm foothold, Gu Yejin had to put this project aside for the time being and switch to other more profitable projects.
Now, Gu Yejin seems to be planning to restart this project. Xie Luoshu saw someone in the industry saying this, but he didn't know whether it was true or not.
The next day, Director Zhu really sent a message in the group.
Wish the director: @All members! "Baby is Coming 2" is back! The next episode will be recorded again in two days, in S City. Please go to a specific location in S City by yourself.
Bai Xueling: Got it. .jpg
Zou Jiayan: Ouke Ouke.jpg
Liu Ruotong: OK
Wen Mingyuan: Two days later? I can’t make it.
Director Zhu: ? I asked your agent the day before yesterday and he said you are free during this period @温明远
Wen Mingyuan: I can't come due to something else. Please change the time.
[Wen Mingyuan, I suggest you don't do this.]
[What's wrong with me? Besides, I really have something to do.]
[You mean you were hanging out with your assistant? ! ! ]
Since the last variety show ended, Wen Mingyuan no longer believed in the system. But he still believed that he was the protagonist.
I'm the protagonist, so why are all the people surrounding that cannon fodder Xie Luoshu? They're teaming up to fight me? The system is becoming less and less reliable!
Wen Mingyuan snorted coldly: "I am the traffic provider for the entire variety show. Without me, will their show still have traffic?"
But Wen Mingyuan is just deceiving himself. If you search on Big Eyes, you will find that the most popular ones are the kids. After all, the program team is here to film children. The second is Xie Luoshu and then Zou Jiayan.
Wen Mingyuan's popularity is due to his group of die-hard fans. Most of them are girlfriend fans. If those fans knew that Wen Mingyuan was not only in a relationship but also had multiple relationships, he would be finished.
The system said it was very tired. The system looked over its tasks several times to make sure it had not found the wrong person.
Why is this host completely different from the one in the original book? ! My system is giving me a headache.
In the original book, he was smart, strong and willing to endure hardships, but now he is brainless, arrogant and doesn't work hard. He can't resist the slightest temptation, and after tasting a little sweetness, he doesn't want to work hard at all. He just wants to take shortcuts.
"What?!" After a while, Wen Mingyuan saw the message from Director Zhu and was furious.
Director Zhu: The time has been set and cannot be changed. Since you can't come this time, there is nothing we can do. I have already contacted Fang Fang's parents. Our program team will take Fang Fang over.
Wen Mingyuan: What do you mean?
Director Zhu: You can go and take care of your own business. We will pick up Fang Fang. Fang Fang’s parents have agreed.
Wen Mingyuan gritted his teeth. He had told his parents about it? What did he say? Would his parents come to him to accuse him?
Wen Mingyuan: Then who will take Fangfang?
Director Zhu: Don’t worry about that, we have already arranged it.
"Is it really okay?" asked the assistant director.
"Of course." Director Zhu smiled when he thought of the money invested by Gu Group. "I was controlled by Shao Yanyan before because I had no choice. Now... I can withdraw my investment if I want. Am I afraid of her?"
Director Zhu had no choice but to do so before. He was the one who created "Here Comes My Baby". When he released the first season, he was thinking of fighting a last-ditch effort. It was unexpected that it became a hit.
But after the hit show "Baby's Coming", various baby variety shows emerged one after another, and the audience was already aesthetically fatigued. If he wanted to have a second season, he had to innovate, so he thought of adding the element of live broadcasting.
However, most investors were discouraged when they heard about the live broadcast format. After all, there is no post-editing for live broadcasts, and it is either a hit or a flop, so many investors dare not take the risk.
Plus, he couldn't invite any big-name guests. The first season became a hit partly due to the luxurious cast.
Unexpectedly, Shao Yanyan took the initiative to come with Wen Mingyuan, not only to invest but also to bring Zou Jiayan. Director Zhu was very worried, but he agreed without hesitation when he heard this.
Unexpectedly, after signing the contract, Shao Yanyan started to act up. Not only did she squeeze out the original plan and insert her own brother into it, she also kept saying she wanted to withdraw the investment.
Shao Yanyan asked Wen Mingyuan to stop broadcasting frequently. Whenever there was any problem in Wen Mingyuan's live broadcast room, Shao Yanyan's brother would instruct the cameraman to turn off the camera.
Moreover, Shao Yanyan's younger brother is a tyrant in the program group. He graduated from a third-rate school, but he is extremely confident and thinks he is very good. He insisted on doing it even though he was told that this arrangement was not acceptable. There is no backup plan, and he has to save the situation every time, which makes netizens criticize him.
However, a good cook cannot cook without rice, and he cannot live without money. He can only let Shao Yanyan's brother do whatever he wants. But fortunately, things are different now.
Gu Yejin invested in the variety show! And it was quite a lot. He was not afraid even if Shao Yanyan withdrew her investment! And Shao Yanyan's brother, ugh! He had already found the original plan. And he also wrote a brand new plan and gave it to Gu Yejin.
Gu Yejin is a very good investor. He just gave money and didn't interfere. He didn't say anything about taking care of Xie Luoshu and Yanyan. When he got the plan, he just confirmed that there were no problems. He didn't say anything else.
Shao Yanyan had just received the news from her brother that she had been fired, and then she heard what had just happened from Wen Mingyuan.
She called Director Zhu directly: "Director Zhu, what do you mean?"
Director Zhu asked, "What else do you want to say?"
Shao Yanyan gritted her teeth and said, "Don't act dumb here! Director Zhu, not only did you fire my brother, but you also treated Mingyuan like this. Aren't you afraid that we will withdraw our investment?"
"You can just leave." Director Zhu said nonchalantly, "Your brother will not cause any trouble for the program organization. Don't you see that there are a lot of criticisms on the Internet about the program planning, and also about Wen Mingyuan? But he himself said that he couldn't participate in the program because he didn't have time."
"How could Mingyuan not have time!" Shao Yanyan was so angry, "You..."
"Then I don't know." Director Zhu shrugged, "You are his agent, I am not. I'll be frank, we have found a new investor. The first episode of the show has been aired, and you have seen the reviews. It's up to you whether you want to withdraw your investment or not."
"You! Hello?" Shao Yanyan wanted to say something, but Director Zhu had already hung up the phone.
Shao Yanyan was so angry that she threw her cell phone onto the bed.
In fact, she had deceived Director Zhu before. Although those investors were attracted by her, that was all. They would not withdraw their investment because of her words. As Director Zhu said, now that the variety show has been launched, it is even less likely that they will withdraw their investment.
It’s just that Director Zhu couldn’t get any investment, and when he finally got some, he didn’t dare to take the risk.
And what happened to Wen Mingyuan? ! Shao Yanyan flipped through Wen Mingyuan's schedule. When Director Zhu called her a few days ago, Wen Mingyuan did have something to do during the past two days. However, Shao Yanyan contacted them and deliberately cleared that time because her schedule was very tight.
"Hello Mingyuan."
"Yan Yan. Have you solved it?" Wen Mingyuan was very happy when he received a call from Shao Yanyan. Shao Yanyan must have solved the problem.
Shao Yanyan asked: "Did you tell Director Zhu that you were not free during that time?"
"I." Wen Mingyuan was stunned, "I am..."
"What do you want to do, Wen Mingyuan?" Shao Yanyan said angrily, "Now, go apologize to Director Zhu and go to the variety show in two days."
"But Director Zhu has already found other candidates." Wen Mingyuan said in a low voice.
"What?!" Shao Yanyan raised her voice, secretly cursing Wen Mingyuan as an idiot in her heart.
"Yan Yan, don't be angry." Wen Mingyuan soothed, "If I don't go to this show, my fans will definitely complain to the show crew. They will definitely beg me to go to the next show."
Will it really happen? Shao Yanyan doesn’t know. Although Wen Mingyuan has many die-hard fans, his performance in the first episode has already made some fans quit being his fans…
"I don't care what you want to do during that time, just let you go and stay at home!" Shao Yanyan ordered. As Wen Mingyuan's agent, she certainly knew what kind of person Wen Mingyuan was.
"Don't worry. I'll stay at home and won't let the paparazzi take pictures of me." Wen Mingyuan agreed.
Shao Yanyan had a headache: "You'd better wait until this episode of the variety show is over, no matter what you do, understand?!"
Only after this episode is over can she guide the entire public opinion. If Wen Mingyuan makes any mistakes during the recording of the variety show and is caught on camera, all her efforts will be in vain.
