Chapter 128: Teacher He, enraged, once again dominates the trending searches.
Shashi, Hunan Province.
Office area of the variety show department of Hunan TV.
"Ding ding"
A program director hurried to He Jiong's office and gently knocked on the door.
"Please come in."
A familiar voice came from inside, and director Jia Jingsheng pushed open the door and entered.
At this moment, the host He Jiong was sitting at his desk, organizing the pile of new program plans that lay before him.
On the table next to him, a mobile phone screen was also playing footage of Wang Yueheng's live stream.
The melody of "The You of the Past" lingers in my ears.
Almost everyone who came across this live stream stopped scrolling.
They all clicked into the live stream and listened quietly.
He Jiong was no exception.
Especially after seeing that the person singing the beautiful new folk song was Wang Yueheng, my admiration for his talent surged even more.
I'm so glad I extended a new variety show invitation to Wang Yueheng at my wedding that day.
"Teacher He, the sponsor of the new program just called, hoping to bring in a guest from the program 'Dream Life'."
As director Jia Jingsheng spoke, he handed a list of artists' information to He Jiong.
The colorfully printed resume features a handsome celebrity face.
It was none other than Lin Kun, one of China's top male stars.
She has become incredibly popular by filming idol dramas and participating in dating reality shows.
It is said that he is planning to cross over into the music industry and become a versatile artist in film, television and music.
"What do you mean? Haven't we already decided on our first guests?"
He Jiong, who was listening to music, took the documents handed to him and asked in confusion.
"I know, but the sponsors want to replace the player with someone who isn't very well-known."
"For example... that Wang Yueheng..."
"Compared to Wang Yueheng, I also think Lin Kun should be able to bring higher ratings and more highlights to the first episode."
Director Jia Jingsheng said cautiously.
"Ha, these days, celebrities are so cunning... they can even get sponsors to speak on their behalf."
He Jiong looked at the documents in his hand and couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly.
As a host for Hunan TV, I'm used to this kind of thing.
I never expected that my new variety show would be targeted before it even started to be promoted.
They even brought in sponsors to speak well of them.
"I've met this artist, Lin Kun. He's quite good, and his overall popularity is far superior to that of Wang Yueheng."
Director Jia Jingsheng continued.
After all, it was the idea of the show's sponsors, and besides, the first episode needed a popular guest.
From a director's perspective, he also felt that Lin Kun was more suitable than singer Wang Yueheng.
"But for the variety show 'Dream Life,' we need more down-to-earth artists and more talented artists."
"Lin Kun's appearance is undeniably outstanding, but besides the idol male god persona, it seems like he doesn't have anything else, right?"
"He's not like the popular idol Ren Yiwen from before, at least his singing skills are decent."
He Jiong shook his head and then refused, saying, "If he insists on coming, then let him produce a work of the same quality as Wang Yueheng first."
As he spoke, He Jiong picked up his phone and showed director Jia Jingsheng footage of Wang Yueheng singing and playing the guitar.
If it were an ordinary producer, they would likely have given in to the pressure from sponsors.
However, as a top star and pillar of Hunan TV, the pressure from sponsors posed no threat to He Jiong at all.
We can always find another sponsor.
Some are giant brands that want to sponsor his variety shows.
While we were chatting, Jia Jingsheng also heard the singing and playing of the guitar in the video.
I never expected that it was actually Wang Yueheng himself who sang it.
This folk-style song is far superior to the singing skills of all the so-called top idols among the young male celebrities.
This includes Lin Kun, who wants to expand into other fields.
"Okay, I understand."
"I will convey your message to them immediately."
Originally, Jia Jingsheng wanted to turn on his phone and let He Jiong listen to Lin Kun's new song "Buddha Jumps Over the Wall" that he had prepared for the show.
