"A dating variety show? I've never been on one like that, but competing against other celebrity couples sounds quite interesting. Xia Tian, what do you think? Are you interested?" After listening to Li Lu's introduction, Qiu Mengyun was clearly very interested in the show. However, she didn't answer Li Lu directly, as it was a show that required couples to participate together, so she decided to consult Xia Tian first.
Xia Tian took a sip of the red wine in his glass and said nonchalantly, "Aren't these variety shows all scripted? Which group wins which segment, what kind of conflicts arise during the PK, all of this is arranged in advance. It's not interesting at all."
Seeing that Xia Tian seemed quite unimpressed by this kind of program, Qiu Mengyun said helplessly, "Since you don't want to go, let Sister Lu reject them."
Li Lu didn't want to give up this opportunity, so she insisted, "Xia Tian, this show is different. It will be broadcast live. Therefore, the entire show is completely real, without any scripts."
Xia Tian still shook his head and declined politely, "Forget it. I'm not interested in being on variety shows. If I had this time, I might as well stay at home playing games and writing songs."
After being rejected again, Li Lu looked to Qiu Mengyun for help. Qiu Mengyun just spread her hands and made a helpless expression.
"Oh! Well, in that case, after we finish our meal, I will go back and tell them that you two don't have time recently. It's a pity that this opportunity was wasted. If you can participate in this program in the summer and get the 20 million announcement fee from the program crew, then your value will have a clear standard in the future, and any program that wants you will definitely not offer a lower price than this." Li Lu lamented regretfully.
"What did you say? 20 million for the announcement fee?" Xia Tian, who had been nonchalant at first, suddenly lost his composure after hearing the announcement fee Li Lu quoted. He stood up from his chair and stared at Li Lu excitedly.
Li Lu hadn't expected Xia Tian's reaction to be so strong, and had assumed he was unhappy with the announcement fee. She quickly explained, "I know your 20 million announcement fee is a far cry from Meng Yun's 60 million. But there's nothing we can do about it. Although everyone thinks you two are a couple, you're still just a newcomer. Even though you've been all the rage these past few days thanks to the official announcement of your relationship and those songs, let's be honest, there's a significant gap between you and Meng Yun in terms of fan base and industry influence."
"Don't feel bad about this. It's actually quite normal, and it's not just you two. Couples in other groups also receive their appearance fees based on their fame and influence. There's no guarantee that every couple in any group will receive the same amount, it's just that the difference isn't as huge as it is in your group."
Xia Tian pondered for a moment, then said seriously, "Sister Lu, when you get back, call Mango TV and tell them we've accepted the show."
"Well! Don't worry, it's okay even if you missed this show. With your looks and abilities, you won't be short of opportunities in the future. I will definitely find them for you..."
Li Lu paused mid-sentence, realizing that Xia Tian hadn't been asking her to reject anyone. She didn't know if she was hallucinating, but she seemed to hear Xia Tian say he'd accepted the show.
After being stunned for a moment, Li Lu looked at Xia Tian expectantly and asked, "Xia Tian, what did you just say? I didn't hear it clearly. Can you say it again?"
Xia Tian smiled and repeated, "I mean, when you go back, tell the people at Mango TV that we've accepted this show."
"Really...really? You didn't lie to me? Are you kidding me?" Li Lu asked in disbelief. She really didn't expect that Xia Tian, who had just been determined to refuse the invitation, would suddenly make a 180-degree turn in his attitude.
Xia Tian said seriously, "Of course it's true. How could I joke with you about work?"
"Hahaha! That's great. I believe that after this show, both of your careers will have good development." After getting Xia Tian's confirmation, Li Lu smiled happily.
"Hey, hey, hey! I'm saying, have you forgotten something?" Seeing the two of them chatting and laughing happily, Qiu Mengyun, who was concentrating on eating, became unhappy.
"Did you forget something? I don't think so. My things are all here." Li Lu checked her personal belongings and looked at Qiu Mengyun in confusion, wanting to know what she was referring to.
Seeing Xia Tian looking at her blankly, Qiu Mengyun said unhappily, "Have you forgotten that this is a couple's reality show? This show requires both couples to participate together."
Xia Tian nodded: "Yes! Sister Lu said this at the beginning. Is there any problem?"
Li Lu also nodded in agreement, "Yes, it was because of this rule that Xia Tian was able to get the invitation. He was able to get 20 million yuan in announcement fees because of this rule and your status as Qiu Mengyun's boyfriend."
Qiu Mengyun was so irritated by these two that she laughed: "Haha, you two even know this is a couples show? Then when you were discussing when to sign up, did you ever consider that you needed to consult me, the person involved?"
Li Lu said in surprise, "Ah? You don't want to go? But from your expression just now, you clearly want to go!"
