Chapter 22… Preparation for the meeting

”Next Monday , you will go to the TV station. All guests will have a meeting with the main creative staff, and then officially start recording next week. The pilot film will be recorded for the first time, and the content will include individuals. Interviews and shooting of artists’ private lives.”

”Private life? What will they shoot?” Gong Ze  asked.

“It’s about ten minutes for each guest.” Luo Mingfan said, “So, you’d better change places when the time comes. The living environment of two people here is too obvious to protect from the sharp-eyed audience.. We’d better be safer.” Ying Yutian nodded at the side, “Don’t you both have a house prepared by the company? Just live there and deal with it first.”

This house was bought by the two of them in the second year after debut, and no one else knew of the existence of this place except for the agents and assistants of both parties. The media always thought that they lived in the residences prepared for them by the company. So during the first period of time, they squatted downstairs in the two buildings every day. They had to move their targets after squatting for a month without photographing the two of them.

Although the two suites have been unoccupied, they are fully furnished and can be moved in at any time. Wen Ge and Gong Ze  also understood the difficulties, so they only hesitated for a second or two before agreeing.

A week later, the two agents came back again, picked their own artists, and set off for the TV station one after the other.

The director personally greeted them at the door.

The director’s name is Qi Chuan, a young guy who graduated only a few years back. But despite his youth, he is actually very talented and has a unique vision. He also has his own ideas about the production of the show. He is a well-known gold director in the industry. Several of the programs he was in charge of before were a hit in the country, creating extremely high ratings. And a reality show that he was in charge of before has set off a reality show craze, which drove the development of domestic reality shows.

Because the previous reality show was too popular, the outside world is looking forward to his new show this time. It had already become a hit before the guest list was announced. During this time, the program group has successively released guest lists. The luxurious guest lineup has amazed everyone, but the complete guest list has not been released for a long time, so everyone is guessing. Who else will the remaining two be?

Since “See you on Saturday” tricked Gong Ze  and Wen Ge into the same stage, big and small programs have been thinking about them one after another, and there are eight programs out of ten programs, and there will be either of their names in the guest list. After all, the traffic and topics brought by being on the same stage really made them jealous, and they also want to experience the feeling of being popular! However, with the sign of “See you on Saturday”, the two are now more careful when taking over work from the agent. The first thing is to ask each other to find out if the other party is in it. As long as they are together, they will pass immediately.

Therefore, for so long, Wen Ge and Gong Ze  have never been on the same stage afterwards except for the “See You On Saturday.” Qi Chuan naturally wanted to make good use of this top-level traffic and topics to make the show popular before Weibo, so he kept it hidden and refused to make the names of Wen Ge and Gong Ze  public. He just waited for an excellent opportunity.

Wen Ge departed half an hour later than Gong Ze . When he arrived at the TV station, Gong Ze  had already greeted the director and followed the staff in. Before Wen Ge got out of the car, Qi Chuan had already ran down the stairs and opened the car door for him f.

”Hello, Mr. Wen, I am the director of “Adventure Youth”, my name is Qi Chuan.”

”Hello Director Qi, I have long admired the name.”

Regardless of seniority or age, Wen Ge is considered Qi Chuan’s predecessor. So compared to Qi Chuan, he was more casual.

Wen Ge caught everyone’s attention as soon as he entered the conference room. Except for some of the staff who knew the complete guest list early in the morning, the rest of the people in the scene took a breath, and looked at Wen Ge slowly entering in disbelief.

The eyes of the few guests sitting on the side were even more surprised.

This kind of reaction had already happened when Gong Ze  came in. Everyone finally woke up from the aftershocks of filming the show with Gong Ze , and finally saw Wen Ge appear in the meeting room in the next second. The gathered sanity was once again shattered. They were surprised and a little excited, and all secretly rejoiced that fortunately they had accepted the show.

The show team has invited many qualified stars, and when the invitation was made, they did not deliberately say that Wen Ge and Gong Ze  would also participate. Therefore, some stars either had no schedule or did not like reality shows and refused the invitation. In the end, only these six agreed.

If it was known earlier that Gong Ze  and Wen Ge would also participate, those who said that there was no schedule might come too. After all, how can there be any reason to refuse when these two top kings of the entertainment industry are participating in the show? Those who refused will probably regret a lot after the show is broadcast.

Because Yu Ran has the lowest qualifications among this group of people, he sat at the bottom and was surprised when he saw Wen Ge.

Gong Ze  is worthy of being the film emperor. He can still pretend to be indifferent when he knows everything. There are some vague surprises and disgust in his eyes. The reaction he showed is exactly the reaction that the enemy should have when they meet on a narrow road.

The seats of the guests are arranged according to their seniority in the circle, with Gong Ze  taking the first place and Wen Ge second.

Qi Chuan also struggled for a long time when arranging seats. Although Gong Ze  was the first to make his debut among the eight people, Wen Ge was actually one month later than him. Both of them have no distinction in terms of seniority or status in the entertainment industry. Plus the fact that the two have always been rumoured to be enemies, he was afraid that Wen Ge would be dissatisfied that he was ranked behind Gong Ze . Fortunately, Wen Ge didn’t say anything, and sat calmly on Gong Ze ‘s left hand.

After the staff arrived, Qi Chuan took the first seat on the opposite side and presided over the meeting personally. The main purpose of the meeting is to introduce to everyone the flow and content of the entire program. In order to play the PPT, the lights in the meeting room were turned off, and it was dark, only the projector was emitting a faint light. Everyone listened attentively to Qi Chuan’s introduction. Gong Ze  also looked up at the front and looked serious, but his right hand was restless and moved to Wen Ge’s side under the table little by little. He hooked his fingers for a while, and touched his legs for a while, poking and teasing persistently. Wen Ge never reacted, and his eyes never left the projector.

Gong Ze  was a little frustrated, his eyes rolled, and his fingers climbed up a bit. He was about to touch the base of his thighs. Wen Ge finally had a reaction. He grasped his hand, and then firmly grasped it on the palm of his hand, not letting him move.

Seeing that the troublemaking was successful, Gong Ze  smiled with satisfaction, but no longer fumbled around, clasped his hands tightly, and continued to concentrate on listening to Qi Chuan.

After the 30-minute PPT presentation, the lights in the meeting room were turned on again, and Gong Ze  reluctantly withdrew his hand back.

The meeting ended after an hour, and the other staff left and continued to work. Yin Heng left as soon as the meeting was over because he still had a schedule. However, the other female guests did not rush to go, and crowded up to surround Gong Ze  and Wen Ge in the middle.

”Hello, two teachers. My name is Sun Xiaofei. I am a member of the xx group.” Sun Xiaofei has participated in some reality shows before. Because of her straightforwardness, she has created a large wave of variety fans. She is also considered a senior in reality shows. But in front of  Wen Ge and Gong Ze , she didn’t dare to perform this ability, so she should be respectful, and said hello obediently.

Gong Ze  and Wen Ge are not familiar with this combination. This is the first time that they met Sun Xiaofei today. There was nothing to talk about but they nodded and smiled in response.

With Sun Xiaofei taking the lead, several other members also greeted one by one.

Yu Ran stood at the back, not fighting or grabbing, just watching from a distance. The agent couldn’t stand it anymore, poked his waist, and whispered: “Hurry up and say hello. This is a good opportunity to show your face. If you can get acquainted with them, are you afraid that you won’t be popular? Go! “

Yu Ran hesitated for a long time and finally did not go up. Several other people were already familiar with Gong Ze  and Wen Ge, and the topic of conversation changed from the show to personal hobbies. The agent was angry and kept drinking herbal tea to relieve the fire.

After chatting for a while, several female guests also took their agents and left first. Yu Ran was packing his school bag, and the agent was still angry with him, standing behind him with a black face.

Because there were others around, Gong Ze  couldn’t say anything to Wen Ge . So he blinked at Wen Ge with his back to Yu Ran’s agent and left first.

Wen Ge came to Yu Ran.

Yu Ran stopped and shouted with a smile: “Mr. Wen.”

Wen Ge also faintly smiled, patted him on the shoulder, and said warmly: “See you next week, behave well.”

Yu Ran nodded, “I will!” “

Yu Ran’s agent who witnessed everything on the side:? ? ? Did I miss something? ?

Three days before the pilot film was recorded, Gong Ze  and Wen Ge dragged their luggage and moved into the apartments prepared by the company. One of the two apartments is in the west of the city and the other is in the east of the city. It takes nearly two hours to drive there, and the two deliberately did not go out to get familiar with this new home during the day, and went to bed after an hour of video chat at night.

On Friday, the agent brought the show crew to the door. As soon as a group of people walked in, they started installing cameras around the room. The stylist did the styling for Wen Ge, and the accompanying director explained to him the shooting process for a while.

Because it is a pilot film, the shooting is no more than the official recording, and the task is much easier. Just take a picture of Wen Ge’s home and the scene of his packing, and then a personal interview of about five minutes. In order to take care of privacy, before the filming started, the program team also discussed with Wen Ge where to shoot and where not to shoot.

Because it is to express the home side, Wen Ge’s styling is not too exquisite. He only fixed his hair a little. As for the face, he wanted to put on foundation. Later, the makeup artist looked at Wen Ge’s skin and it was already very good. He gave up the foundation, and only put on a colour-enhancing lipstick.

The other staff all hid in the small room first, and the photographer went outside carrying the equipment. The accompanying director hid in the temporary monitoring room, and when everything was ready, he gave the order to start recording.

The doorbell rang and Wen Ge took a deep breath and ran to open the door.
