186 Participated

Hearing Lin Zi’s words, Ji Jun had a look of disdain on his face. “Gu Ming’s previous movies were pretty good, but his new one’s script was as bad as dog sh*t. I couldn’t even avoid it, so why would I take the initiative to approach it?”

Lin Zi covered his face. “You can say that at home. Don’t spread it. Otherwise, you’ll offend Gu Ming.” No matter what, Gu Ming was one of the most famous directors in the industry.

Ji Jun pursed his lips. “Contact the production team and see if they’ve decided on a candidate. If not, we’ll confirm this variety show.”

Ji Jun had done many things on a whim, so although Lin Zi found it strange, he did not suspect anything. Seeing that Ji Jun had already made up his mind, he could only make arrangements.

Seeing this, Ji Jun returned to his room. It had been a while since he had played games. He had to practice first. As for whether Yu Han could appear on that show, Ji Jun was not worried at all. Even if Starlight Entertainment and He Meng could not handle it, there was still him.

The corners of Ji Jun’s lips curled up, but he quickly smoothed it out, as if everything was completely under his control.

In this eSports program, two of the four spots were reserved for artists who were related to their own interests. The other two spots were reserved for people they specially invited for the popularity of the show. It was originally planned to be a man and a woman who were very popular in the industry.

Among the male artists, the best choice was naturally Ji Jun. With him around, there was no need to worry about the popularity of the show. However, it was a pity that Ji Jun rejected it on the grounds that he had no free time on his schedule. It was not surprising that the production team knew about this outcome. After all, Ji Jun was famous for being difficult to invite in the industry. Hence, they could only settle for the next best thing and contact another popular male actor, Xiang Lei. Recently, a television drama he was starring in had become popular, so his popularity rose rapidly.

The production team had considered Xiang Lei because of his recent popularity and because one of the advertisers had recently signed an endorsement deal with him, so they hoped that the production team could let him participate.

On the other hand, Xiang Lei said that he had a slot in his schedule, but he hoped that the conditions could be changed again. For example, he wanted the production team to treat him as the main celebrity. At that time, the main publicity would also be on him. Moreover, he had a lot of work to do, so he needed the production team to cooperate with his time to film. He also asked the production team to create a special script for him. At the same time, he wanted the production team to guarantee the number of his scenes for each episode. He also requested to participate in the post-production editing and so on.

When the production team’s producer, Ou Cheng, saw the long list of requirements, he gritted his teeth and said, “Then why don’t we specially open a show for him, or he can film a Vlog himself for his fans.”

Although many artist teams would make a lot of requests during the early stages of the show, it was still rare for someone as domineering as Xiang Lei to have such detailed requests.

“Does he know that we have invited the Best Actress, Liu Wen, as our female lead?” Ou Cheng asked the casting director, Wang Ping.

Wang Ping was also a little speechless. “Xiang Lei’s team’s publicity staff said that even if Liu Wen won the Best Actress Award, her popularity was not as high as Xiang Lei’s. Therefore, it’s very normal for him to suppress Liu Wen.”

“Bullsh*t!” Ou Cheng immediately cursed. “We’ll talk about who he can suppress when he has Ji Jun’s celebrity status.” At least Liu Wen had won her first Best Actress Award at the age of 20. She could be considered the top of the new generation of actresses and was not as arrogant as Xiang Lei.

Ou Cheng crossed out more than half of the requirements on the list. “Let’s use this to talk to their team. We’ll confirm with him if we can.”

Wang Ping thought of Xiang Lei’s team’s aggressiveness and looked at the remaining requirements on the list. He felt bitter. Sure enough, when he sent the feedback back to Xiang Lei’s team, the other party had no intention of taking a step back. The other party’s manager directly mocked him.

“Our Lei Lei’s schedule has been very full recently. If it weren’t for the fact that this is a Kangaroo Platform show, we wouldn’t have wasted our time talking to you. An eSports show like this has to depend on our Lei Lei to bring in traffic. Without our Lei Lei, who would watch such a show when the time comes? Yet, your production team only gave this bit of sincerity. What do you take our Lei Lei for? I’m sorry, since you’re not sincere, then go and hire someone else.”

After saying that, he hung up the phone. Wang Ping’s face turned red. He looked at Ou Cheng and said, “What should we do? Their team is trying to manipulate us.”

Ou Cheng snorted coldly. “He has just become famous and he is already so arrogant.” Ou Cheng had been in the industry for many years. How could he let a young man easily control him?
