    196: Re-entering Donghyuk

    Yu Huaian’s withdrawal from the group somewhat dampened everyone’s enthusiasm. Besides, people in the entertainment industry are all superstitious. It was really unlucky for something like this to happen in the first episode, so both the guests and the staff were feeling a little miserable these two days.

    But that’s not the biggest problem. Yu Huaian’s retirement means that Qiao Qiao’s partner is gone. There are only five guests left. How to record the show?Are they gathering together to fight the royalists?

    “Call everyone in the position! Ask if you are interested!” The director was so anxious that he had a big blister on his mouth. He covered his chin and yelled, “As long as you are willing to come, the appearance fee will be easy to negotiate! Save the show first!”

    “Really?” Xiao Zhang, the external liaison officer who was on the phone over there, raised his head in surprise and covered the phone. “Then we can invite someone from the Jin family class. We just talked about it. As long as the appearance fee reaches this amount, you can come.”

    He stretched out his palm and made a five sign.

    The director was so angry that he rolled the script into a tube and threw it at it: “Get out! You might as well take me to the hospital and sell my blood!”

    When his anger caused the bubble on his mouth, the director cried out that it hurt.The room was silent for a moment. Feng Zining rubbed her hands with nail clippers irrelevantly. Mai Zhou didn’t know what he was thinking. The Internet celebrity couple was playing with their mobile phones, probably taking care of the Taobao store.

    To them, it doesn’t matter whether the variety show is recorded or not. Anyway, according to the contract, even if the show is not recorded, the money will not be less. If they are really canceled, they can go home early.

    But Qiao Qiao didn’t want this. Although it was just a small and insignificant variety show, it was her first show after all. She still hoped that this show could continue, even if it was only one episode.

    “Run again!” the director said decisively.

    “Who are you looking for…” Xiao Zhang muttered, covering his head like a little daughter-in-law, “I want the horse to run, but I don’t want the horse to eat grass.”

    “You don’t know how to use your brain?! Do you know how to pronounce the words “cost-effectiveness”?! You must get the person here within three days, otherwise it won’t be a matter of being beaten!”

    The external relations staff remained silent. Qiao Qiao looked around and raised his hand.

    “If you have something to say, just say it! Why are you raising your hand? You’re a primary school student.” The director said angrily.

    “How about I go run with Brother Zhang?” Qiao Qiao said, “Since you are asking for something, it would seem more sincere if someone from the team goes to ask for it in person. Maybe for the sake of sincerity, people will be willing to come even if the money is small.”

    The director couldn’t help but take another look at Qiao Qiao.

    He didn’t have much impression of this young artist arranged by his superiors. He didn’t talk much, and he wasn’t pretentious. He was quite obedient during the recording. Even when Yu Huaian asked her to step on her for a moment, he didn’t get angry and dropped his head. She felt like a plant. The advantage was that it was not aggressive, but there was no highlight.

    There are a lot of people like this in the entertainment industry, and they have nothing to say that makes them popular.

    The director had actually thought of Qiao Qiao’s suggestion for a long time, but sitting in his position, he couldn’t open his mouth to ask Qiao Qiao, a young artist, to do such dirty and tiring work. But if she was willing, that would be the best.

    The director’s attitude softened instantly: “Are you too tired? You have to travel to several companies, and there is no overtime pay regardless of whether you travel or not.”

    The last sentence is the key point.

    Qiao Qiao also thought of this, and she nodded: “It doesn’t matter.”

    “That’s hard work.” The director smiled brightly, “I will arrange more shots for you after the recording.”

    The next day, Qiao Qiao followed Xiao Zhang and drove to the nearest film and television company. He thought he would be able to meet a senior executive. However, after waiting for a day, the secretary came over and said that the person in charge had something to do and asked them to come back tomorrow. Xiao Zhang and Qiao Qiao had no choice but to go home.

    “Why are you here to suffer this?” Brother Zhang held the steering wheel and said unbearably, “It’s not your fault that the show is pornographic. You are different from us. You should get the money you deserve.”

    “I just feel it’s a pity.” Qiao Qiao took a sip from the mineral water bottle. The air conditioner in the room where they had been waiting all day was broken, and the heat made her hair stick to her forehead. “You have worked hard to prepare for so long. If you don’t record it, won’t it be in vain?”

    “Hey, what’s the big deal?” Xiao Zhang smiled and said, “I’ve long been used to it. I’m quite lucky. At least one of my works has been broadcast. Some of my colleagues have been working for more than ten years, but none of them have been on TV. In this business, you have to watch it, otherwise you will piss yourself to death.”

    The two ran around bitterly for a few more days, but because Yu Huaian broke a big scandal on this variety show, artists who were a little taboo were unwilling to come back. Many people in the industry also felt that this show was bad, and they were not polite to Qiao Qiao and Xiao Zhang. It was good to be rejected, but sometimes they had to be sneered at.

    “Aren’t you a guest? The guest will come to the venue in person to do outreach?”

    Qiao Qiao wiped his sweat: “Hey, show your sincerity.”

    “Sincerity is enough, but it’s a pity that the show is not good. I’m sorry.”

    Xiao Zhang’s candidate companies were checked off one by one in his notebook. Xiao Zhang sighed every time he checked off one. However, after checking too many, he became numb.

    “Forget it, let’s do our best and let fate dictate. We have worked hard and have a clear conscience.” Xiao Zhang pretended to be open-minded, but his expression still revealed his unwillingness.

    “Isn’t there another one here?” Qiao Qiao came over and looked at the book, “Don’t give up until the last one.”

    “Are you talking about Donghe Film and Television?” Xiao Zhang smiled bitterly, “Sister Qiao, there is a reason why I ranked it last.”

    Donghyuk is a film and television producer with a great career. I heard that there was a long-lasting domestic variety show that wanted to recruit people, but the company executives thought it was inconsistent with the company’s style and rejected the offer.To put it bluntly, Donghyuk Film and Television is like the emperor of the entertainment industry. All other variety shows and reality shows are his concubines, at his choice.

    “Try it, just in case.” Qiao Qiao didn’t want to give up just like that, “Give it a try and the bicycle will become a motorcycle.”

    “Okay.” Xiao Zhang agreed reluctantly, “But let me tell you the truth, the probability is 99.999% impossible, so don’t put too much hope in it.”

    “I know!”

    Qiao Qiao still understands the truth.

    The building of Donghe Film and Television is so splendid and majestic that Qiao Qiao can’t help but stop and admire it every time he comes.

    Xiao Zhang explained his identity and purpose of his visit, expecting to be “politely” invited out directly. Unexpectedly, even the most ordinary front desk of Donghe Film and Television would not flatter others. Qiao Qiao and Xiao Zhang were politely invited into the living room, and they were told that someone would come over to discuss in detail in a moment.

    “If you say wait a moment, maybe it will be another day in vain.” Xiao Zhang has already lost the energy of the previous few days, and will be ‘mourned’ for a while after being rejected one after another. “Forget it, let’s go, what are you still wasting doing?”

    “Brother Zhang, if you are tired, go back first. I can still wait.”

    “What are you talking about?” Xiao Zhang was not very happy. “The long march of thousands of miles is almost over. How could I leave you here alone?”

    The secretary served tea, and the fragrance lingered. Although I didn’t know what it was, it made people feel refreshed when they tasted it.Xiao Zhang drank three bowls of milk and shamelessly asked for a fourth cup. The secretary was not dissatisfied at all and poured it with a smile.

    As expected, it is a big company, and tea and water are provided so generously.

    The living room is elegantly decorated, and there are handsome men and beauties coming and going, arrogant, delicate, handsome, indifferent…all kinds of people, which makes people dazzled and makes them feel more deeply ashamed.Qiao Qiao glanced at Xiao Zhang, and even a person with such a carefree personality felt uneasy.

    Only this kind of company is worthy of someone like Liang Jize.

    Thinking of Liang Jize so fiercely, Qiao Qiao couldn’t help but feel her heart skip a beat. If she met him here, she would be in trouble. She wished she could stay eight hundred miles away from that lunatic.

    But then he thought about it, he still couldn’t figure out where to film. Even if he happened to be in the company, he would definitely not come to a place like the living room.

    The secretary didn’t let them wait long, and a man with a little bit of Mediterranean on his head came in. Xiao Zhang and Qiao Qiao quickly stood up to greet him. The man introduced himself as Jin, and Qiao Qiao politely called Mr. Jin, no matter what his position was, go to him.

    Just call Gao Li.

    “The script is quite interesting.” After listening to Xiao Zhang’s introduction, Mr. Jin simply commented, “There are very few variety shows in recent years that are willing to put so much effort into the script, which shows that you are very careful.”

    It was the first time in these days that Xiao Zhang received positive feedback. He was flattered and thanked him profusely.

    “I also watched a little bit of it on TV. It’s a pity. If it hadn’t happened like that, it should have become a hit.”

    “Yes…that’s why I don’t want to give up, and I have to work hard no matter what.”

    “Well, I happen to have a few young artists who are unavailable. You can contact us.” Mr. Jin looked at Qiao Qiao with a smile, “Are you a guest on the show? It seems that you really want to make the show a good one. For this reason, I am willing to help you.”

    Donghyuk Film and Television, the one who gave the least hope, was willing to give it to someone so easily?Xiao Zhang and Qiao Qiao were both stunned and speechless for a long time.

    “Thank you, Mr. Jin!” Xiao Zhang was so moved that he knelt down and hugged his thigh, “We will do a good job! We will live up to your trust!”

    “Okay, my secretary will contact you later and I’ll take you out.” Mr. Jin stood up.

    “Don’t take it seriously, don’t take it seriously!” Xiao Zhang jumped up from the chair as if his butt was on fire, “Just sit down.”

    Of course, Mr. Jin couldn’t stay in the living room all the time, so in the end the three of them went out together.

    As soon as they came out, Xiao Zhang was still gushing praises to Mr. Jin. The door to the reception room opposite also opened. A middle-aged man said something to the people behind him with an apologetic smile. A tall figure walked out slowly, it was Liang Jize.

    Too bad.

    The two groups of people met each other in the corridor. Mr. Jin, who was very impressive in front of Xiao Zhang and Qiao Qiao just now, quickly gave way. This shows that the two people opposite have high status in Donghe.

    It was almost cheek-to-cheek, and it was impossible to pretend not to see it. Qiao Qiao had no choice but to smile politely at Liang Jize.

    The man’s eyes were dark and he didn’t know what he was thinking.

    “What are they here for?” Liang Jize suddenly asked.

    The middle-aged man and Mr. Jin both looked surprised. Mr. Jin hurriedly said: “It’s a small variety show. Let’s invite a few artists. I’ve asked the people below to run it.”

    “Oh, I think I’ve heard of it.” Liang Jize’s eyes turned to Qiao Qiao, the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, with a teasing smile, “It’s just… it was a bit big.”

    “…”

    There was no further communication between the two groups, and Xiao Zhang and Qiao Qiao left.

    Sure enough, before the two of them drove back, Xiao Zhang received a text message from his secretary, saying that because the schedules of the selected artists were all full, they could no longer collaborate.

    But it was clearly said ten minutes ago that the artist was unavailable.
