414 Give In

Not only did the marketing account post about the couple that had not been officially announced, but it also attracted guests that netizens were looking forward to.

The marketing accounts were also following closely behind the production team, promoting the intern couple Jingsheng and Qiyao, as well as Shuidong and his wife.

However, there just wasn’t any posts about Shuixin.

“These days, the marketing accounts have been promoting the official announcements of the production team. It has already surpassed the popularity of my post on the hot search.” Shuixin said angrily, “The other two pairs of guests are on the hot search every day. Although the last couple is not officially announced, Qin Mufeng and Jiang Xun are also on the hot search every day.”

Shuixin couldn’t understand the relationship between Mufeng and Jiang Xun.

She didn’t know if the production team had really invited them and bought the marketing.

Or was it the netizens’ own guess that Mufeng and Jiang Xun were going to participate and that they were really relying on their fans to get them on the hot search?

Yuxin’s face was cold as well. “No wonder Shuli told me that he wouldn’t give you any publicity resources that day. He wanted me to be mentally prepared. I was wondering how big difference it could be, but I didn’t expect it to be so big. He might as well have not given it to you.”

Without Shuixin’s reminder, Yuxin contacted Shuli.

“Teacher Zhou, didn’t I already tell you a few days ago? Teacher Jian and Teacher Zheng made an official announcement in advance, so we can’t do anything about it,” Shuli said. “To be honest, Teacher Zheng has also contacted us, but there’s no other way. You’ve publicized it clearly with Teacher Zheng’s side and mentioned all the publicity points that we’ve prepared in advance. We really can’t find any new publicity for Teacher Jian and Teacher Zheng.”

“But you are you not going to mention us at all when you and the marketing accounts are promoting, right?” Yuxin suppressed her anger and said, “Can’t you at least say a word or two?”

“Previously, you said that there would be some differences in the focus of the publicity, but I really didn’t expect that you wouldn’t give any publicity to my artiste at all.” Yuxin replied. “Yes, we made a mistake previously and made an official announcement in advance. I understand that you’re angry. However, I also promptly meted out appropriate punishment to the staff who made the mistake and promised that such a thing would never happen again in the future. Please help our artiste with the publicity.”

Shuli laughed and said, “Teacher Zhou, you and I both know what the so-called negligence of the staff meant. Do you think I’ll believe you? Are you doubting my intelligence by giving me this excuse?”

“The staff was careless, but it’s been on the hot search for so long, why hadn’t it been removed? Which staff member’s negligence is this?” Shuli smiled. “I understand that Jian Shuixin wants to stir up the topic and increase her popularity. But don’t use our production team as a scapegoat.”

“I don’t buy it! I’ll tell you clearly, I won’t include Jian Shuixin and Zheng Xuyi in all the promotions before the show starts,” Shuli said.

Xuyi had also contacted him and he had told him the same thing.

He did not care about Xuyi’s attitude toward the announcement and whether he was included in it.

Since Xuyi and Shuixin were bound together, they were one.

No matter who made the decision, the other half would definitely agree.

“If you’re not happy, you can choose to back out. It’s fine.” Shuli said.

At most, he would only have three pairs of guests on this show.

They could find new guests to add in later on, or they could choose not to.

With Mufeng and Jiang Xun around, the show had already won.

But would Shuixin and Xuyi be willing to back out?

Of course not.

Shuli’s unyielding attitude made Yuxin cower. She softened her attitude. “Director Shi, your words are too serious. We’ve already signed the contract, how can we back out? The advance announcement had already caused trouble for the production team. If we suddenly quit right before the shoot, wouldn’t it be even more troublesome for the production team if they can’t find someone else?”

Shuli laughed coldly.

Even at this point, Yuxin didn’t forget to warn him that if they quit, the production team wouldn’t be able to find new guests to replace them.

Shuli sneered. Would he be afraid of this?

“If Teacher Jian really wants to quit, I have no problem with it,” Shuli said with a smile. He sounded like he had a good temper, but the words he said were not at all accommodating.

Yuxin was completely terrified and could only say, “Director Shi, we will definitely not back out. This is our studio’s problem. You’re not promoting us before the broadcast. We also admit that it’s our fault. What I’m worried about is that you won’t reduce Shuixin’s shots when the show officially starts shooting, will you?”

“Of course I won’t, that’s a separate matter.” Seeing that the other party had given in, Shuli said, “I’ll give them as much screen time as they want. I’ll give them more if it’s exciting. I’ll give them less if it’s boring. This has always been how variety shows are filmed.”

“As long as Teacher Jian can cooperate with us during the shooting and don’t do anything that will make things difficult for us, we will definitely not miss out on Teacher Jian’s scenes,” Shuli said.

He was really afraid that if he didn’t say it directly enough, the other party wouldn’t understand, or they would understand but play dumb.

“Of course, Shuixin didn’t do it on purpose. Our Shuixin is the most dedicated, and we’ll definitely shoot with all our heart. We won’t cause any trouble for the production team, so don’t worry,” Yuxin promised.

“What did he say?” Shuixin asked hurriedly after she hung up the phone.

Yuxin said unhappily, “Shi Shuli is quite unyielding. He clearly said that they didn’t promote you because you made an official announcement in advance. This caused their show to suffer losses. So this time, it’s purely to teach you a lesson. He even said that we can choose not to participate if we are not satisfied.”

Shuixin pounded the sofa angrily. “I already announced it in advance. How can I not attend?”

If the production team had announced it, she could still explain that she had suddenly found a job and so on, and she would not lose face.

But this time, she released the news herself and let her fans hype it up.

She would be the one who was embarrassed if she refused to participate.

“That’s why he’s taking advantage of this,” Yuxin said. “He’s trying to beat you down. Because you caused trouble before the official announcement, he’s afraid that you’ll do something beyond his control when you’re shooting, so he told us in advance. If you cooperate with the production team’s shooting, your scenes won’t be reduced. But if you don’t cooperate, he’ll delete your scenes.”

“Ha!” Shuixin sneered in anger. “Shi Shuli has filmed several popular variety shows. He’s really tough!”

“Then what can we do?” Yuxin could only try to persuade Shuixin, “He can decide how much screen time you have. Shuixin, let’s just give in.”

“But no matter what, you’re still the most popular one on his show,” Yuxin advised.
