189 Candidate
Brother Xie, who was Xiang Lei’s manager, Xie Yi, chuckled and said, “It’s just that your production team hasn’t made a move for so long. I happened to remember, so I’m concerned if something happened to you guys.”
Wang Ping sneered in his heart. Wang Ping knew that he had started to give in after seeing that the production team had not replied and hearing that the production team’s grade had increased. Unfortunately, it was too late now.
Wang Ping played dumb and said, “It’s alright, it’s alright. Thanks to you, the production team is pushing forward urgently now.”
When Xie Yi heard this, his heart skipped a beat. “Does this mean that the production team has already decided on all the guests?”
!!
“How can it be so fast?”
As soon as Wang Ping said this, Xie Yi heaved a sigh of relief in his heart. However, he continued, “Our preliminaries will only start tomorrow. We have to see who’s better before we can decide.”
When Xie Yi heard this, he wanted to curse in his heart. He had asked about the male lead, but Wang Ping had used these bit characters to fool him.
That’s right. In Xie Yi’s eyes, other than the male and female leads, the rest of the people on the show were just tools for the two of them.
Seeing that Wang Ping had been avoiding the topic, Xie Yi decided to be direct. “Didn’t you say that you wanted to invite our Xiang Lei previously? Initially, we refused. After all, you know what happened before. However, Xiang Lei is a loyal player of this game, so he still wants to participate in this show. We can’t dissuade him, so we can only agree and let him participate in your show.”
Wang Ping was overjoyed, but he said awkwardly, “Teacher Xiang could lower himself to come to our production team. We welcomed him very much, but because you guys had already rejected us sternly previously and asked us to find other artists, we had no choice but to invite other artists.”
When Xie Yi heard this, he became a little anxious. “Hey, it’s because you guys went overboard at that time, so I was angry and spoke a little bluntly. These are all words made out of anger. How could you guys take them seriously? Besides, I think no one is more suitable than our Xiang Lei. He plays games well and has a lot of fans. Otherwise, your production team wouldn’t have thought of him immediately, right?”
Ah, I’m sorry. The first person our production team thought of was Ji Jun. It’s just that the producer got someone to contact him in private, so the news didn’t spread. Wang Ping thought to himself.
However, he thought that Xiang Lei was still popular and they would meet frequently in the circle. There was no need to offend him too much, so he did not expose Xie Yi’s fantasy.
Wang Ping could only say, “Then there’s nothing we can do. After all, our project is rather urgent, so the candidate has already been decided. It’s not good to change it.”
Because Xie Yi’s call was on speaker, Xiang Lei heard it from the side. He sent many messages in the group chat.
[Is he waiting for us to back down?]
[Ask him who they have chosen.]
[We’ll negotiate with him again!]
When Xie Yi saw this, he asked Wang Ping, “Are you bluffing me? You said that you’ve decided on a candidate. Then who did you decide on?”
Wang Ping was very pleased. When he spoke, there was a hint of pride in his tone. “How can I lie to you? We’ve decided on Ji Jun, the Best Actor Ji. Now that the contract has been prepared, we’re preparing to go through the legal procedures.”
Xie Yi and Xiang Lei were stunned when they heard Ji Jun’s name. They didn’t expect this Best Actor to accept this show. No matter how arrogant Xiang Lei and Xie Yi were, they didn’t dare to say that they could suppress Ji Jun like they did to Liu Wen.
After all, Ji Jun didn’t just win a Best Actor award. He had won three Best Actor awards in a grand slam. Moreover, his popularity was very high and he had many die-hard fans.
However, Ji Jun intercepted him just like that. Xiang Lei was still very angry. In his heart, the reason why Ji Jun could develop so well was because he debuted early and came from a good family. If he had Ji Jun’s qualifications, he would definitely be even more popular than Ji Jun.
Now that he had become popular on his own, his popularity and traffic had also increased. In his heart, the gap between him and Ji Jun had already closed a lot, so Xiang Lei was very indignant.
[Since the contract hasn’t been signed, there’s still a chance.]
[Tell him that we can lower our fee.]
When Xie Yi saw this, he knew that Xiang Lei was being stubborn again. He could only brace himself and say to Wang Ping, “Although Best Actor Ji is indeed quite popular, he’s not young anymore. The impression he gives people is still the mature and steady type. It doesn’t match with something so young as eSports…”
