Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
In the face of Liao Hui’s olive branch, Lin Zi continued to prevaricate. [The project hasn’t been confirmed yet. It’s still too early to say this. It won’t be too late to talk about cooperation when the project is confirmed. If you haven’t found a suitable actor yet, we can talk about cooperation then.]
After Liao Hui received his reply, although he felt that Ji Jun’s team was a little arrogant, he also knew that Ji Jun had the capital and confidence to be picky.
Hence, although he was a little unhappy, he could not say anything. He was just hesitating if he should contact Ji Jun’s team again and grind it out, or just give up and find another way.
At this moment, Ou Cheng, who happened to come to visit, knew his troubles and gave him an idea. “Didn’t you invite Yu Han to be the new season’s spokesperson? When you contact Ji Jun’s team, tell them that you’ll invite Yu Han to act as Little Junior Sister. Anyway, she is so popular on the Internet now. This decision is not a loss.”
“You mean buy one, get one free?” Although Liao Hui had heard of Yu Han, this new spokesperson, he did not know much about her. “She’s an artist from Ji Jun’s company?”
Speaking of which, in the entertainment industry, “buy one get one free” was quite common. Usually, it was to use the resources of big-name artists to add unknown artists from the same company to achieve the goal of the old leading the new.
Ou Cheng laughed meaningfully. “It’s indeed a buy-one-get-one-free, but it’s not for buying Ji Jun and getting Yu Han, but for buying Yu Han and getting Ji Jun.”
“How can that be?” Liao Hui laughed. “Yu Han is just a newbie. How can she manage someone like Ji Jun? It’s not like…” He suddenly realized something and raised his eyebrows. “Could it be that the two of them…”
He gave his good friend a gossipy look and asked what was going on with Ou Cheng.
Ou Cheng raised an index finger and shook it. “I can’t say it. I can’t say it.”
Anyway, according to his observations, Ji Jun and Yu Han’s relationship was still unclear, but Best Actor Ji’s feelings for Yu Han were definitely not simple.
At that time, he could not understand why Ji Jun suddenly changed his mind and wanted to participate in their variety show. It was only when he heard Ji Jun take the initiative to ask about Yu Han and his team’s suggestion to let the two of them live-stream together that he guessed the truth.
However, this was an artist’s privacy after all. It was not good to leak it from him. He only reminded his good friend when he saw that he was troubled.
As for whether it would work or not, that would depend on fate.
Although Ou Cheng did not nod and admit it, Liao Hui thought that he had learned the truth from his old friend’s expression. He pondered for a moment and decided to try again. As expected, Ji Jun’s attitude changed after he mentioned Yu Han’s name.
Although they still insisted on waiting for the script and production team to be set up before talking, their words were no longer as vague as before, and their tone was much softer.
Liao Hui hung up and gave Ou Cheng a thumbs up.
Ou Cheng patted his big belly that was like the Maitreya Buddha. “Don’t tell anyone. Otherwise, I’ll be unlucky.”
If any rumors were to spread outside, as the informant, Ji Jun would definitely suspect him first.
Liao Hui gave him a “don’t worry” look. “How can I not know this?” The first thing one should do in the entertainment industry was to keep one’s mouth shut. After all, there were too many secrets in this industry. A casual sentence could destroy a person. Of course, it could also destroy him.
After receiving Ji Jun’s feedback, Liao Hui immediately went to make preparations. Fortunately, in order to persuade the higher-ups to agree, he had already come up with a plan, including the script. The rest was just the production team.
Liao Hui had the support of the top platforms in the country, and the company did not lack money. He did not have to worry about that. He got his subordinates to compile a list of famous directors in the country. He screened them himself before showing them to Ou Cheng. “Who do you think is better at filming movies adapted from games here?”
Ou Cheng took it and took a look. As a variety show producer, he did not know much about the production process of movies. He could not explain it for a moment, so he gave him an idea.
“Why don’t you send the script and this director’s list to Ji Jun and let him give his opinion?” The more he spoke, the more he felt that his idea was good. “In terms of professionalism, the two of us, one a variety director and the other a business administrator, definitely can’t compare to him. Secondly, Ji Jun’s judgment in choosing dramas is obvious to everyone in the industry. He’s considered a golden signboard. Let him choose. It’s also an additional insurance..”
