2004 Just To Meet You

Everyone could not be bothered to talk to her anymore.

For safety reasons, the show was filmed at the aquarium.

The previous recording was mainly about Ning Nuo delivering Qing Qing’s baby. There were relatively few other scenes.

This time, the director hoped that there would be more sparks between everyone and the aquatic animals.

When the recording began, the cameramen got more footage of Ning Nuo and Ouyang Lujia.

Next were Cheng Kang, Duan Xiuwen, and Song Xianxian.

It was no wonder. The most popular people now were Ning Nuo and Ouyang Lujia.

Ning Nuo had long dominated the various popularity charts without any film or television works.

Of course, the production team knew that they had to film her more and gain more popularity for the show.

As for Ouyang Lujia, he obtained good results in his exams and got a good overall ranking.

Coupled with his original popularity, he was also a hot topic.

Cheng Kang was humorous, Duan Xiuwen was mature, and Song Xianxian was cute and flexible. They each had their own advantages. Compared to Zhou Wan’er, everyone was naturally more eye-catching.

After a whole day of filming, their interactions with the animals were very outstanding. However, Zhou Wan’er didn’t get many scenes.

That night, Zhou Wan’er went to the director’s office.

The director was a middle-aged man in his 50s. He had taken good care of himself. His surname was Jiang, and he was very familiar with Zhou Wan’er.

However, when he saw her coming to his office alone, he was still shocked. “Wan’er, if there’s anything, let’s talk outside.”

In this day and age, not only were celebrities afraid of scandals, but directors too. If they were not careful, not only would they be scolded by the celebrities’ fans, but their families would also be ruined.

“Director Jiang, I’m here to talk to you about something serious. Let’s have a chat.”

“Go ahead, go ahead.” Director Jiang opened the door.

“My father has recommended two advertisers to invest in this variety show’. I can be considered to have put in a lot of effort for our variety show. But so far, I haven’t appeared on the variety show much. Director Jiang, shouldn’t we make some adjustments to the editing and footage for the next episode?”

Zhou Wan’er was indeed very angry. Compared to the others, she was the one who brought in funds.

However, so many episodes of the show had aired, but she hadn’t appeared much.

That thief-like woman relied on her sister’s name to enter the entertainment industry. Why did she get to enjoy this treatment?

Previously, Zhou Wan’er had the mentality of watching a good show. She hoped that Ning Luyao would tear Ning Nuo away as soon as possible.

However, the reality was that before Ning Nuo was taken away, Ning Luyao was already involved in a scandal. Now, she had fallen to an unknown place.

That was why she had no choice but to confront the director.

She didn’t want to be the second Ning Luyao.

Director Jiang coughed and said, “Our variety show is catered to the audience. Everything is edited according to what the audience wants to see. Even I can’t completely interfere in this. There are still so many people in the entire production team. The scenes must be discussed by everyone…”

Director Jiang’s words were not completely perfunctory. He was indeed not the only one who had the final say.

However, he did not finish his sentence. The production team was not the only one who had the final say in the entire show, the audience also had the final say. They would edit whatever the audience wanted to see.

Would maximizing Zhou Wan’er’s scenes ensure the viewership ratings?

Of course, Director Jiang could not take this risk.

Sensing that Director Jiang was unwilling to help, Zhou Wan’er was a little angry. “Director Jiang, since you can’t make the decision, it looks like I can’t make the decision regarding the advertisements either!”

“Wan’er, let’s talk things out. It doesn’t have to come to this,” Director Jiang advised.

Zhou Wan’er had already turned around and left.

Director Jiang had a headache. How could he choose?

If they gave Zhou Wan’er more scenes, how could they maintain their viewership ratings? Especially when the audience’s desire was to watch Ning Nuo and Ouyang Lujia.

He had to think about his job.

However, advertising was also very important. This income earned would determine whether the production team would be able to afford all kinds of things. It would also determine if they could spend money on outdoor shoots, rent venues, eat well, and live well.

The next day, Zhou Wan’er was very unhappy when she was recording.

Everyone was about to go into the water, but she hadn’t even changed her clothes.

Everyone was waiting for her. After all the delays, three to four hours had already been wasted.

Everyone here had packed schedules and cared a lot about their time. With her like this, Director Zhou could only tell them not to record her part for the time being and to record the others’ parts first.

Ning Nuo reported her schedule to Brother Yong and told him that she was going to work the night shift.

Then, she told Lin Yu about this.

Usually, she rarely complained about work to him, but after their relationship progressed, everything seemed to become more natural. She could speak to him more directly if she had anything to say.

Lin Yu had originally planned to have dinner with her after she finished recording.

When he heard that a lot of time was wasted because of Zhou Wan’er, he immediately asked Sister Ai to find out what was wrong with the production team.

Sister Ai couldn’t help but sigh. She wasn’t even a manager anymore, but she still had to be a manager. What kind of sin had she committed?!

However, she had a lot of connections. After a while, she found out the reason.

It was Zhou Wan’er again.

Lin Yu said calmly, “Contact Director Jiang and have him deal with her.”

…

Zhou Wan’er took advantage of the fact that she had pulled in advertisements for the show to act like a demon for the entire day.

Regardless of whether Director Jiang would air her parts or not, she was content.

If her parts were really aired, it would be better to have some popularity than no popularity.

After the recording ended, Director Jiang informed her to go to his office.

Zhou Wan’er smiled. After adjusting her makeup, she stalled for a while before arriving at Director Jiang’s office.

“Director Jiang, why are you looking for me?” She sat down with a smile. She had already sensed that Director Jiang was going to compromise with her.

“Wan’er, I think our show might not be suitable for you. We won’t record your parts in the remaining episodes. I just wanted to tell you that you don’t have to come next time.”

“What do you mean?!” Zhou Wan’er was shocked.

Director Jiang also changed his previous smile and said, “We can’t afford to serve a big shot like you. Our production is small and can’t accommodate a big shot like you. Let’s not delay each other.”

“You want me to leave? You want me to terminate my contract? Director Jiang, if I terminate my contract, I hope you’ll be able to afford my compensation!”
