Chapter 204

The matter of participating in the show couldn't be explained clearly in just a sentence or two over the phone.

Qin Shu came back specifically to discuss it in detail with Shen Wei.

Originally, only Shen Wei and Qin Shu were in the office.

However, Shen Wei, as the kindergarten principal, usually didn't put on airs.

Many people would come to her office to report work or just chat when they had nothing to do.

Gradually, the office became full of people, including Liu Chef, Doctor Lu, and Lin Rui.

After hearing about it, Lin Rui's eyes lit up: "Can I go with Shen Wei?"

Taking children on variety shows had been popular for a while before.

But later, as various media outlets rushed to imitate, it gradually lost its original flavor.

Plus, with the constant drama stirred up in post-production, even the kids started playing mind games, which felt very jarring to watch.

Moreover, netizens formed fan clubs and latched onto trivial matters, leading to mutual attacks.

It had a negative impact on the children.

Later, the authorities put a stop to it for a while.

Now the policies have relaxed, but the enthusiasm has passed. Few stations continue to produce kid-centric variety shows.

But taking children on variety shows used to be a trump card program with very high ratings, so it has a viewer base.

And the lineup already announced for this episode includes a film emperor and his daughter.

A young music superstar and his ill-tempered son.

It's said that a total of 5 guest teams will be announced.

Now if Shen Wei could bring He Lingfeng.

It would at least be a fresh character setting, after all, He Lingfeng is currently popular. Many people want to see what differences there are between a genius and ordinary people.

A variety show Lin Rui had done before was taken away by the TV station, and various troubles occurred in between, leaving her physically and mentally exhausted.

She had heard about recording variety shows before but had never been to one.

And it's said that they're going to a remote place to experience life.

For her, isn't this just a free vacation?

She was really tempted.

Lin Rui admired Qin Shu: "How do you get to know all these connections?"

By rights, Qin Shu's status was far below Lin Rui's.

But Qin Shu just had some strange friends and could connect with anyone.

But Apple TV was different, it was one of the top three TV stations in the country.

Both their program processes and post-production were very powerful.

Qin Shu said: "I met them at an offline music concert."

Lin Rui couldn't help but give a thumbs up, truly you can't judge a book by its cover.

She had heard rumors about Qin Shu in high society before, thinking he was a very reclusive and eccentric person, an unapproachable illegitimate child.

After getting to know him, she found out he was really a case of actions speak louder than words.

Shen Wei was eager to earn these points. She asked: "How long does it take from production to broadcast?"

Qin Shu said: "This is just a trial run, they're only doing one episode, live broadcast plus edited variety show going online. It can all be seen on the internet the same day!"

This was just an experiment by Apple TV, if the effect was good they would continue broadcasting, if not they would cut it.

The competition for time slots on big stations was very fierce, and factional struggles were even more terrifying than in other places.

The ins and outs of it all were not something an outsider could easily explain.

Shen Wei said: "Alright!" Then she went to find He Lingfeng.

She explained the situation to He Lingfeng.

Although He Lingfeng was a child, he had gained knowledge from Professor Liu and others every time, and had been to various high-end summits.

This resulted in the child becoming less and less childlike, more like an adult.

His opinion still needed to be considered on this matter.

He Lingfeng's eyes were bright. Looking at Shen Wei, he said: "Sure!"

He agreed very quickly.

She always felt that Qin Shu should be her person.

The last time she invited him, Shen Qingqing even wore a revealing spaghetti strap top.

The Shen family produces beauties. Her intentions in doing this were already clear as day.

But he still remained unmoved.

After inquiring in detail this time, she found out it was Qin Shu who helped make the connection again, she was really about to die of anger.

Lu Zheng was disgusted by Shen Qingqing's constant focus on Shen Wei, and instinctively wanted to refuse, but when he heard that Lin Rui was also among the list of participants, he inexplicably agreed.

Since they were recording a show, Lin Rui would probably be more polite to him in daily life.

Maybe the two of them could break the ice because of this show.

After all, they had been childhood sweethearts for so many years.

As long as Lin Rui still cared about him, he was confident he could win Lin Rui back.

The two harbored their own ulterior motives as they went to talk with Apple TV.

But Apple TV's list of participants had actually been finalized long ago.

They didn't want to add people midway at all.

Although Shen Wei was also an ordinary person, He Lingfeng wasn't, he was currently the most popular genius child.

Even for just one trial episode, Apple TV wouldn't let just anyone appear.

Seeing them brazenly wanting to join the show, the liaison person's disdain was written all over their face.

"Sorry, our program needs to go through layers of review."

"20 million," Lu Zheng didn't waste time with them, directly naming a price.

The other party was stunned for a moment.

They originally had advertisers investing.

But when they heard that this could be cut at any time, not wanting their money to go down the drain, they quietly withdrew their investment.

The sudden investment of 20 million allowed these amateurs to have a taste of luxury.

After all, it was just an online live streaming show.

With this in mind, they immediately called the director and producer.

The director agreed instantly upon hearing about the 20 million.

Just like that, he became the fourth group of guests.

Shen Qingqing and Lu Zheng chose a chubby young man.

This chubby guy was also an internet celebrity, who usually made TikTok videos and short sketches, and his lip-syncing was incredibly lifelike.

Moreover, his chubby appearance made him very popular with the audience.

This time, Shen Qingqing carefully selected him after several rounds of interviews before making the final decision.

As soon as Shen Qingqing and Lu Zheng signed the contract, Qin Shu immediately found out and reported back to Shen Wei and Lin Rui.

Shen Wei was speechless, while Lin Rui bluntly said, "Why can't these people just leave us alone?"

They even follow us to other places to record shows. It's really too much.

We open a pop-up store for Starry Sky, they open a game arcade.

We open a kindergarten, they also open a kindergarten.

Now they're even following us to record shows. Are these people sick?

"Imitate me and prosper, copy me and die." Don't they understand such a simple principle?

Maybe they're just using this method to annoy us.

Thinking about this made Lin Rui even angrier. She had long since grown tired of Boss Lu.

But who knew he had even more outrageous moves up his sleeve.

When Gu Qingyan heard that the fourth group of guests was Shen Qingqing and Boss Lu, she couldn't sit still.

It's all about the power of money, isn't it? As if they were the only ones who had it.

So with a little scheming, she became the officially announced fifth group of guests, and the child she brought was none other than Mu Zhixing.

Thus, what should have been a simple show

Inexplicably turned into a gathering of acquaintances.

And it came with its own dramatic conflicts.

Shen Wei was speechless. She just wanted to earn some points, why was it so difficult?
