Chapter 278: Invitation To Practice
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Lin Zi pretended to be worried. “Now that the show has been upgraded, I think the publicity will be much stronger. The only thing I’m worried about now is Ji Jun’s gaming skills. If he plays too badly, I’m afraid he will attract a lot of abuse and bad reviews.”
He Meng’s heart slapped a beat. If the production team was going to make an official announcement on the guest list soon, then the eSports advertisement that Yu Han filmed as the spokesperson should be about to be released.
Yu Han had caused a sensation in the ranking competition previously and was still a little popular now. Now, she would take advantage of the official announcement stage of the variety show to work with the gaming company to launch her identity as the spokesperson and jointly market it. Then, Yu Han’s popularity would continue for a while.
He Meng thought about how Yu Han had not touched the keyboard for a long time because of the two production teams’ filming and the revision work. It was indeed time for her to practice. Hence, she relented and said, “Sure. I’ll talk to my Hanhan later and ask her to make time tonight. The two of them can make an online appointment then.” Lin Zi wanted Ji Jun and Yu Han to meet offline so that they could play games together and cultivate their relationship. However, he thought that He Meng would definitely supervise and keep an eye on them at the side. That would be too boring, so it didn’t matter if they got together or not. Hence, he agreed.
He Meng took the opportunity to say, “If you get the specific guest list, tell me in advance. After all, our Hanhan is a newcomer. If she wants to go on the show, she has to make more preparations.”
Although it might only be a few days early, they could more or less prepare in advance if there was something wrong with the guest list.
Lin Zi agreed immediately. “Alright, I’ll give it to you when 1 get the specific guest list.”
Just as He Meng had expected, she received a message from the gaming company that afternoon after communicating with Lin Zi. They said that the advertisement would be released in the next two days. They wanted Yu Han to hold a live-stream and play a few ranking competitions to cooperate with the publicity.
He Meng thought about Yu Han’s schedule and agreed to have a two-hour live-stream two nights later.
Suddenly, someone from the gaming company said, [The eSports variety show will also be officially announced in the next two days. We think that since we’re going to live-stream, why don’t we strike while the iron is hot and let Best Actor Ji join in? This is also the opinion of the production team’s producer, Ou Cheng. It can also be considered a wave of marketing for the show. Do you think there’s a problem on your side?]
They said that they were asking for Yu Han’s opinion, but the gaming company had basically confirmed this matter. They also thought that Yu Han would not reject such a good thing.
However, He Meng was obviously not so happy when she heard that. Firstly, after that day’s ranking competition live-stream, most of Yu Han’s fans were gaming fans. Hence, her popularity would not be low if there was a gaming live-stream. She did not need Ji Jun to bring her popularity.
Secondly, Yu Han herself was a trending topic, so she did not lack this popularity. Hence, He Meng was only concerned about one question. [ If we live-stream that night, will it be just Best Actor Ji and our Hanhan, or will the other guests join too?]
She was afraid that the other party would misunderstand, so she specially explained, [I thought that if the show started recording, everyone would have to live in the base together and be comrades. In the future, they would have to compete together. If the guests get to know each other in advance, they would be able to get to know each other and get used to each other. ]
After hearing her suggestion, the people from the gaming company probably felt that it made sense, so they replied, [Regarding this problem, our planning department will discuss it again. We’ll inform you later about the specific plan.]
However, to He Meng’s disappointment, a few hours later, the production team’s feedback was still that Yu Han and Ji Jun would live-stream together that day. The reason they gave was that the production team’s plan was not to announce everyone on the guest lists at once. Instead, they would announce them in an orderly manner to create a sense of mystery and maintain the popularity of the show. Hence, it was not appropriate to leak the name list in advance.
The reason why he let the two of them live-stream in advance was firstly because Ji Jun was the first big shot to be announced, and Yu Han was an official celebrity guest as the game’s spokesperson.
Although He Meng was unwilling to accept the production team’s proposal, she could not reject it. She could only agree. Her only hope now was that Yu Han and Ji Jun’s fans would not fight during the live-stream. Of course, more importantly, Ji Jun’s fans would not criticize Yu Han..
