After a moment's thought, Wang Yueheng immediately had two candidates in mind.
"Producer Lu, I do have two candidates in mind. You can consider them."
Wang Yueheng said, "The first one is Guo Dalin, a contracted artist of our 'Hengxue Entertainment'. He is down-to-earth, has a sense of humor, is not afraid of hard work, and is very popular with the audience."
"Guo Dalin? The young master of the Deyun Society? Hmm..."
Lu Mingtao pondered, "He does have a good sense of humor and a positive image. Great! We can invite him!"
"The second one is actress Yang Tian."
Wang Yueheng continued, "I know that she is mostly seen as a sweet girl in idol dramas, but in private she is a very resilient actress who wants to break through her limitations and get rid of the 'pretty face' label."
"If she can come, this huge contrast might bring unexpected program effects and help her achieve a transformation."
"Yang Tian? That idol drama queen?"
Lu Mingtao's voice was full of surprise, "She...can she agree? This show isn't an idol drama; we're in the sun and wind, training without makeup is commonplace!"
Wang Yueheng smiled and said, "I think it's worth a try. When we worked together before, she expressed a strong desire to challenge herself with different roles. This is a great opportunity."
"A charming contrast... a breakthrough transformation... hmm, that makes sense! If it really works out, the buzz will be explosive! Okay, I'll listen to you, I'll have someone contact Yang Tian right away! Yue Heng, your recommendation is really valuable!"
Producer Lu Mingtao was clearly impressed by this bold proposal.
Having finalized the general direction for the guest selection, Lu Mingtao was in high spirits. Then, as if remembering something, his tone became even more enthusiastic:
"Yue Heng, I have another favor to ask. Your rendition of 'A Man Should Be Self-Reliant' today was so inspiring and uplifting! It was practically tailor-made for our show, 'Real Men'! How about... you grant us the rights to use this song as the theme song for the second season?"
"Of course, the copyright fee will be paid at market price!"
This request was within Wang Yueheng's expectations, but he gently shook his head.
"Producer Lu, the song 'A Man Should Be Self-reliant' is very powerful, but it is more of an expression of personal pride and spiritual inspiration."
"The core of the show 'Real Men' is the team, the collective, and the process of people from different backgrounds entering the military camp, growing through trials, and integrating into the group. I think it would be more appropriate to use a song that better reflects this spirit of 'team transformation' and 'collective honor' as the theme song."
Lu Mingtao on the other end of the phone was stunned. He didn't expect Wang Yueheng to refuse, and he didn't expect Wang Yueheng to analyze it so thoroughly from the perspective of the core of the program.
"You mean..." Lu Mingtao seemed to have guessed something, his voice trembling with anticipation.
Wang Yueheng smiled slightly and said confidently, "Since I'm participating, leave the theme song to me. I will create a new theme song tailored for the second season of 'Real Men.' I guarantee it won't be worse than 'A Man Should Be Self-reliant,' and it will be more in line with the tone of the show."
"What?! You...you're willing to write a new song specifically for our show?!"
Lu Mingtao's voice rose again with extreme surprise, even cracking slightly, "This is wonderful! This...this is simply...Yue Heng! I...on behalf of the production team, thank you! Thank you so much!"
Wang Yueheng personally composed and tailored the theme song for the program!
This undoubtedly provides double insurance for the second season of "Real Men"!
Lu Mingtao could almost see the show become a hit even before it aired!
