Chapter 116 With me but without her, with her without me
It was a sunny day. When the director of "A Little Thing Called Love" opened his eyes and saw the sunlight shining onto the bed through the gaps in the unclosed curtains, he inexplicably felt that today was a good day.
This premonition reached its peak when the director picked up his phone and saw the message from Zhao Xing.
The director opened his eyes wide in disbelief, then rubbed his eyes and looked again carefully. Then he suspected that he was still dreaming, pinched himself hard, and cried because of the pain.
Finally, he looked at the text on the phone and let out a scream that was very out of place for this tough guy.
After calming down, the director took a long breath, checked the time, adjusted his state, and called Zhao Xing:
"Hello, Mr. Zhao, I am Yuan Tian, the chief director of "A Little Thing Called Love". I saw the message you sent, so..."
Zhao Xing interrupted the director's lengthy introduction and got straight to the point:
"Mr. Lu has read the new variety show plan you sent me and is very interested, but there are some details that need to be confirmed with you in person."
“陆总今天下午2：00－3：00点和明天上午9：30－10：00有空，不知您这边什么时间点方便，可以来陆氏跟陆总面谈。”
"I, I, I, I can do anything." The director was so excited that he began to stutter.
"Then let's make an appointment between 2:00 and 3:00 this afternoon. Do you think it's okay for me to arrange a car to pick you up?" Zhao Xing asked.
"No, that's not necessary." The chief director stammered, "But, can I, can I bring our producer along?"
"Okay, then see you at the front desk of Lu's headquarters at 2pm."
-
In the afternoon, the director and producer of "A Little Thing Called Love" both sat in Mr. Lu's office, facing Mr. Lu.
Very dazed.
Ten minutes ago, they stepped into this office, thinking that they would face all kinds of difficulties before the financial tycoon's first variety show appearance, such as various restrictive clauses and confidentiality clauses, and that this and that cannot be broadcast.
The two of them were even prepared that as long as Lu Yanli agreed to participate, they would be willing to sign any humiliating treaty.
Unexpectedly, Lu Yanli was very easy to talk to. He started with:
"I'm very optimistic about your new variety show. Lu's can invest in you."
But the second sentence is: "You can ask me to participate, but I have a condition."
The two of them were instantly excited, and then they heard Lu Yanli say:
"I don't want to see Bai Lian on the show."
When an unexpected request came up, the director and producer looked at each other in confusion and both remained silent.
"If you can't agree, then forget it. This show is either me or her."
"But don't worry. Even if I don't participate in the recording of the show, I will not reduce your investment by a cent."
After hearing Lu Yanli's words, the director and the producer exchanged glances quickly, and then the director quickly spoke:
"Mr. Lu, there is no reason for us not to agree to your request. You should have seen the votes from netizens before. You and Meng Yuan are far ahead in the votes for the eye-catching couple. Everyone really hopes to see you and Meng Yuan on the show."
Lu Yanli nodded with satisfaction, "I am very satisfied with your program planning. I wish us a happy cooperation in advance."
After that, Lu Yanli stood up and shook hands with the two of them. "I have something else to do, so I'll leave you alone for now. Zhao Xing will come over to discuss the details of the cooperation with you later."
Seeing Lu Yanli turning around and preparing to leave, the producer's curiosity overcame his nervousness in front of Lu Yanli, and he asked:
"Mr. Lu, can I ask why you don't let Bai Lian appear on this show? Is there any conflict between you and her?"
Lu Yanli turned around and smiled at the two of them, speaking in a bossy tone, "I just don't like someone. Do I need a reason?"
On the way Zhao Xing came to see them off, in the elevator, the director asked cautiously, "Mr. Zhao, Mr. Lu just said that he was very satisfied with the planning of our program. Do you know what impressed him the most?"
After all, the program is still in the stage of preparing for investment, and the format and various aspects of the program have not been finalized. The director is afraid that when revising it later, he might accidentally change the part that Lu Yanli likes, which would make this big boss dissatisfied again.
So he asked the people around Lu Yanli for advice in advance.
Hearing the director's question, Zhao Xing's usually motionless face showed a rare hint of liveliness.
Of course Zhao Xing knew the reason why Lu Yanli was on this show. It was simply because she was tired of her underground relationship and wanted to show off her affection in public.
But he certainly couldn't tell this to the two people in front of him. After all, the boss and his wife were still in a secret relationship. If he came forward to prove it to them now, Zhao Xing was not sure if he could still live to see the moon tonight.
So Zhao Xing quickly adjusted his expression and replied politely and officially:
"Director Yuan, don't worry. The format of the unscripted celebrity love reality show you launched is very novel. President Lu likes things that are real and natural."
Director Yuan followed Zhao Xing out of the elevator with a look of enlightenment, and got into the car with Producer Xiao. Then, he came to his senses as if waking from a dream and took a deep breath:
"Xiao Lu, what did Zhao Xing mean just now? Mr. Lu likes real and natural things? Mr. Lu and Meng Yuan came to our show to talk about love, and our show is a real and natural show, so Mr. Lu and Meng Yuan are real????"
Producer Xiao Lu rolled her eyes at Yuan Tian with some disdain, "Don't make up rumors about things that don't exist. Be careful of the warning letter from Lu's lawyers."
As the car drove on, Xiao Lu glanced at Yuan Tian beside her, quietly opened her phone, clicked on the super topic of the eye-catching CP, and couldn't help but post a Weibo:
【＠Beautiful eyes szd: Dear sisters, please repeat it loudly after me again, beautiful eyes szd! (Thor's hammer adds another hammer, I'm going crazy ah ...
Nowadays, the popularity of eye-catching CPs is no longer the same as before. As soon as the Weibo post was released, there were many comments asking what the real evidence was.
Just as Xiao Lu was interacting with her fellow eye-catching cpf sisters in the comment section, Yuan Tian's sigh was heard nearby.
Xiao Lu didn't even raise her head: "What's the matter, Mr. Yuan?"
Director Yuan sighed again: "I have good news and bad news, you..."
"If you have something to say, say it quickly. If you have to fart, fart quickly." Xiao Lu was eating sugar with her sisters passionately, and she was very impatient with Yuan Tian's long sighs.
"Meng Yuan's agent just replied, Meng Yuan agreed to participate." Yuan Tian said.
"Yeah." Xiao Lu responded perfunctorily.
I thought to myself that this was no nonsense. Since Lu Yanli had agreed, Meng Yuan would definitely agree as well. After all, these two people were more real than the truth!
"But Mr. Lu's condition for participating is that Bai Lian is not allowed to participate. Then the second couple voted by netizens cannot be invited. How can we explain this to the netizens?"
Involving the future of the program, Xiao Lu pulled herself out of her CP mind, switched back to work mode, pondered for a moment, and said:
"Isn't Shen Shuli's work schedule always full? Ask someone to contact his team privately to see if he has time. If not, we will have a legitimate reason."
The plan was a good one, but it was ruthlessly shattered by Yuan Tian: "Someone in the director's group knows the publicity person of Shen Shuli's team. I have asked him indirectly before. Mr. Shen will not join the crew for the next few months. He has time to come and participate."
"And not only Actor Shen has a schedule, Bai Lian also has a schedule." Yuan Tian added.
"Oh my God, that's the end!" Xiao Lu sighed, which made Yuan Tian's teeth itch.
