Chapter 31.2: — Dad... - The Performance Style Is Different
At this time, the show was already showing evening scenes.
The father and daughter were sitting on either side of the room. Lin Momo was settling accounts with a small notebook, and Lin Cheng was holding a mobile phone to receive work orders.
However, during Bai Yulin’s episode, the father was washing his daughter’s feet; Gao Yuankai was crafting a hand-made fan for his son; during Zheng Chengye’s episode, his naughty child was scared to tears by moths… They were all very bright scenes!
Only Lin Cheng’s segment was lackluster and even a bit boring.
For this later part of the episode, the post-editing team also wanted to put in some highlights for Lin Cheng’s team, but it was a pity—as they say, ‘it’s hard for even a clever woman to make a meal without rice’. The father and daughter were really in such a state for the entire evening, how could they still cut out a highlight?
But they were instructed from above that the five family teams must be treated fairly, and the appearance rate and duration must remain the same. So, they had no choice but to bite the bullet and edit it this way.
The atmosphere between the father and daughter in the picture was quiet, and the comment area also became quiet, with only a few sparse posts popping up occasionally.
[How do you feel about this team’s sudden change in performance style?]
[I also feel that the performance style seems to be different from the previous ones…]
[I went to the toilet and came out, almost thinking that my mother had changed it to another program…]
Finally, a full 2 ??minutes of ‘nothing happening’ has finished playing.
The expressions of everyone in the program team finally relaxed a little.
“Let’s see how much the number of views for that segment has dropped.” The chief director instructed the staff at the console next to him with a solemn expression—he was already mentally prepared for the worst.
The staff called up the traffic monitoring data from backend with an equally solemn expression, but the next second he made a sound of “Eh?”.
“What’s wrong?” the chief director asked.
“It seems that the number of views didn’t drop…” the staff member said, but then he whispered to himself, “That doesn’t seem right, I’ll take a look again.”
The staff member refreshed the information and found that there was nothing wrong with the original data: during Lin Cheng and his daughter’s evening segment, although there was little discussion in the barrage section, the number of views indeed did not decrease.
Not only did it not decrease, it actually increased slightly!
Everyone present from the program team looked suspiciously at the data—did today’s audience like to watch such boring content? Was it perhaps because the content was so boring that the audience forgot to exit?
In any case, the traffic has not dropped, which was a good thing for the chief director.
“Do I need to insert a 15-second commercial?”
“No, just play Duan Bei’s segment, and then insert it in the middle.”
As Duan Bei’s clip appeared, the comments area of ??the program became lively again.
… …
In the Lin family.
Old Master Lin turned off his tablet and was very satisfied with the editing of this episode.
… …
In the Grand Riverside apartment, Lin Cheng also turned off the program with a calm expression. He had already guessed the reason why the program team did not cause trouble this time.
… …
On the other side, the uninformed Wang Xi and Zhou Qi looked confused.
When Chen Yu came back, the three of them held a small meeting to address the ‘abnormal behavior’ of the program group.
“Why did the program group suddenly stop stepping on Brother Cheng?”
“Did the company come forward for him?”
Wang Xi and Zhou Qi asked one after another.
Chen Yu shook his head, “Probably not.”
“Could it be…” The three of them looked at each other and all thought of the fact that Lin Cheng might be a secret investor.
“Is this the power of capital?”
“If it is the power of capital, why not just arrange for Brother Cheng and Lin Momo to appear first?”
“The program group should also be considering the popularity of the show.” After all, although Lin Cheng’s popularity is indeed better these days, he was still far behind Bai Yulin.
Wang Xi and Zhou Qi started discussing.
At this time, Chen Yu interrupted the conversation between the two and warned, “Don’t think so much. It’s already good that the program group didn’t do any malicious editing.” After all, the content of Lin Cheng’s team was really a bit ‘boring’
It was hard to say whether it would become popular.
… …
The day after the first episode of [Living with Dad] was aired, the show became popular.

There were several topics in succession and top trending searches.
Compared with the high topic performances of the other family teams in the show, Lin Cheng team’s overly realistic and bland performance style seemed a bit incompatible with the overall style of the show, and it did not create much topicality.
But with the overall popularity of the show, the name ‘Lin Cheng’ has also become popular.
… …
Chen Yu went to Grand Riverside apartments to find Lin Cheng, an excited smile on his face.
“Brother Cheng, I have some good news for you!” After a pause, Chen Yu added, “The show plans to sign a new contract with us.”
As Chen Yu was saying this, he took out the revised contract from his document bag
Previously, their entertainment company negotiated a Type B contract with the program group on behalf of Lin Cheng, but the contract he now had in his hands was a Type A contract.
With this new contract, Lin Cheng can enjoy the same treatment as the other teams: he has the right to know in advance the [Family Background] that will be assigned to him, his appearance rate in the program was guaranteed, and his scenes would not be maliciously edited.
“Sent by the program group?”
“Yes!”
“Not through the entertainment company?”
“No, someone from the program group contacted me directly.” Because of his excitement, Chen Yu immediately went to this place to find Lin Cheng, contract in hand.
“Let me take a look first,” Lin Cheng said.
Unlike Chen Yu’s obvious excitement, Lin Cheng looked calm and even a bit cautious.
Lin Cheng took the multi-paged contract from Chen Yu and quickly looked through them. After confirming that there were no problems, Lin Cheng put his signature on the contract.
Although this agent had no bad intentions in his heart, he was indeed not very smart, Lin Cheng thought to himself.
