Chapter 111 - Chapter 111 New Variety Show
The part of Chen Che and Lin Xi, the large-scale reality show of “Sweet Love”, was over.
But the story between them had only just begun.
Amidst the reluctant wails of the audience in the live-stream, the screen completely turned black.
Without a camera beside him, Chen Che was really not used to it.
“Chen Che, what are your plans next?”
Lin Xi, who was beside him, turned around and asked Chen Che.
Chen Che turned around and looked at the girl beside him. Chen Che saw a trace of reluctance in her eyes.
Chen Che scratched his head and looked at the starry sky.
“Thanks to you, an agency contacted me regarding signing me on as an artiste.”
Chen Che had not participated in the show for long.
However, his unique temperament and charm attracted many people.
In this era, being able to generate online traffic represented opportunities to reap in benefits.
As soon as the show ended, Chen Che received many invitation calls.
Among them were variety shows and movies.
Of course, film and television invitations were only for very minor roles.
“Huh? Are you officially debuting?”
Lin Xi’s eyes widened in disbelief.
She had also asked Chen Che before. At that time, Chen Che had said that he did not want to enter the entertainment industry.
For some reason, Chen Che agreed.
“What about after signing the contract? Which path are you going to take?” Lin Xi asked.
“I heard that it’s a variety show. After such a long time, I realized that I really have the potential to be a celebrity. Haha!”
Chen Che laughed and asked, “What about you? What are your plans?”
“I have a drama to film. But need to meet the production team first. The down time is over. I have to start working again!”
Lin Xi stretched. Her exquisite figure matched her pure appearance.
For a moment, Chen Che was stunned.
Between a beast and something worse than a beast, Chen Che decisively chose to be worse than a beast.
After all, it was still early. He could not let a moment of impulse ruin his beautiful future.
For future planning.
Chen Che had a clear understanding.
Although this world runs a few years later than his own world.
But most of these things have a similar existence.
Moreover, the film and entertainment industry here seemed to be a little more outdated than the previous Earth.
Chen Che believed that with his foresight, he would definitely be able to make a new world.
A few days later.
Chen Che became a signed artiste under Fei Huang Entertainment.
Ring, ring, ring— The sound of the phone instantly echoed in the silent room, making one’s heart tighten.
Chen Che’s heart beat faster.
The phone rang again. He could tell at once that although it was still an unknown number, it was not the mysterious caller from before.
“Hello, is this Chen Che?”
This time, the voice and tone on the other end of the phone were clearly different. Chen Che’s eyes immediately became nervous.
He said hesitantly, “I am. May I ask who you are…’ The other party smiled gently and said in an elegant and gentle voice, “Hello, my name is Chu Zhengfei. I’m the show planner of the third season of Lemon TV’s ‘In the Prime of Life’. I want to talk to you about having you on as a guest. I wonder if it’s convenient?” Chen Che’s heart trembled in disbelief. “Huh?!”
What a coincidence.
Chen Che had some impression of this Chu Zhengfei.
Lemon TV had always been one of the best in the industry, be it in his previous life or this life.
Especially in the entertainment field, although other TV stations and Huajing TV later tried to catch up, the leading position was still Lemon TV. Chu Zhengfei could be said to be a well known show planner on Lemon TV. She had created many well-known ace variety shows. Her status was not only that of the production team’s planner, but also that of an executive producer.
Chen Che thought to himself that she was actually a director. She was just used to calling herself a planner.
“Ah, hello.”
Chen Che came back to his senses and looked around. He asked tentatively, “Does Planner Chu want to discuss over the phone?” Chu Zhengfei said indifferently, “It’s best to speak face to face. I wonder where you are now…”
Chen Che replied without hesitation, “Jiangshi City. I just finished recording the show yesterday.”
Chu Zhengfei paused and asked as if she had sensed something, “I heard that you’re leaving Jiangshi City?”
Chen Che’s eyes flickered, but he was not surprised.
News spread quickly in the industry, and it was difficult to keep it a secret.
Chu Zhengfei, the great planner, has a wide networ for celebrity news.
...
In particular, she knew the guests she planned to invite.
Chen Che felt that this woman’s confidence stemmed from her ability to accurately understand his movements while keeping it a secret.
Otherwise, she would not have been able to find him effortlessly.
Chen Che did not talk much about his imminent departure from Jiangshi City. Instead, he asked directly, “Yes, what’s the matter?”
Chu Zhengfei did not chat casually and went straight to the point. “I want to invite you to join the third season of ‘In the Prime of Life’, but you won’t be a permanent member. Instead, you will be a…”
She seemed to hesitate. “How do I put this?”
she said softly.
Chen Che was already mentally prepared, so he gestured and said, “It’s fine. Just say it.”
After some thought, Chu Zhengfei expressed her intentions in the most tactful way.
Chen Che was stunned for a moment when he heard this and could not help but laugh. It turned out that the third season of “In the Prime of Life” would be different from the previous two seasons for the sake of innovation.
The entire program was actually a celebrity tourism program. It focused on looks, temperament, and popularity.
...
The show had two themes: celebrities drama and celebrities traveling. Celebrities usually show their glamorous side to the public, but the behind-the-scenes drama is rarely seen.
This contrast was very interesting. Moreover, letting celebrities experience poverty is not only personal and romantic, but also gives them a taste of ordinary life.
Combined with the two contrasts, the program’s response had always been good.
With the ambition of the third season, while maintaining the style of the first two seasons, the show added more new content, such as the opening campaign plan.
Eight celebrities, four men and four women, formed the main body of this season’s tour.
Then, the two of them were chosen as tour guides, equivalent to captains.
The remaining six people voted for one, and the one who was not chosen would be exiled. Chen Che originally thought that Chu Zhengfei had invited him to become an exiled member and travel alone.
In truth, however, he was even lower in the hierarchy than he’d expected—eight star members had already determined to have nothing to do with him.
Because the purpose of his invitation was to create a topic and a sense of authenticity. In fact, the production team’s message to the audience was that there were three tour guides. One was chosen, one was exiled, and the other was to be eliminated for real at end the journey.
To Chen Che, he knew that these eight members had not changed.
To the outside world, Chen Che was the ninth member, and he did not join later. Instead, he was a member of “In the Prime of Life” from the beginning.
After a long silence, Chen Che finally smiled.
