Chapter 324 - Forcing an advertisement (2/2)

Zhao Zhong Yang said, “I was jungling all along. Why did you go in so quickly?”

Lin Fan said, “Be quiet, stay calm. We can win this. Your motive must be good. This is a game of pushing, don’t just keep thinking of killing people.”

Wu You Lan said, “If we don’t slay the dragon while we have the advantage and it gets stolen, we’ll be finished.”

Their teammate said, “Are you all f*cking stupid? Do you even know how to play this game? If not, then switch off the phone.”

…

The shop was buzzing with activity. Just one game had the four of them fully immersed.

“Master Lin…” Huang Bin brought the people into the shop.

Lin Fan looked up and instantly smiled. Then, he put his phone down and said to everyone, “That’s enough, let’s switch off our phones. Let that guy play by himself.”

Their teammate in the game was playing happily when he suddenly realized that all his teammates had stopped moving. Then, he sent out messages in a frenzy. But suddenly, a terrifying thing happened. Zhao Xin left the game. Di Renjie left the game. Lady Zhen left the game. Monkey left the game…

“F*ck your moms! I’m going to report all of you…”

…

Huang Bin laughed, “Master Lin, what are you doing?”

Lin Fan waved his hand. “Just playing a game. Why are you here today, Chief Huang?”

Huang Bin referred to the people behind him and said, “They’re here to find you for something so I brought them here.”

Lin Fan looked at the people behind and he didn’t recognize them. Still, he said with a smile, “Come, please sit down.”

Wu You Lan went to prepare the tea.

After the new shop renovation, they had a resting area.

“Nice to meet you, Master Lin. I’m the person-in-charge of Shanghai Entertainment TV’s ‘Celebrity Family’, Hu Xing. I only realized when I saw this shop that you’re the Internet’s raved-about Master Lin!” said Hu Xing with a smile.

Lin Gan said, “You flatter me. May I ask what is it that Leader Hu is finding me for?”

Hu Xing nodded and explained, “The situation is as such. I suppose you know about our show ‘Celebrity Family’? Right now, we’re in the third season and the location we’ve chosen is your Cloud Street. Hence, I initially wanted to ask Chief Huang for help so we can discuss with all the shop owners. However, Chief Huang said that you’re the one in charge here and that as long as you agree, then the rest will be simple. Therefore, I’m here now in hopes of coming to an agreement with you, Master Lin.”

“Haha,” Master Lin laughed and looked at Huang Bin. “Chief Huang is too courteous. I am but a tenant. You can tell me more about this matter first. I think there shouldn’t be any problems. If there is, I will bring them up. And if you can accept my suggestions, then this matter will be settled.”

Leader Hu smiled and said, “Alright, alright. This is how it is. We want to rent this place for a day for filming the show. The important part is that we’ve put into consideration that the shop owners here are not entertainment professionals, so I want to replace them with our own people. Of course, we will compensate for this.”

Lin Fan thought for a moment and replied, “I’ve seen a bit of this show of yours. Let me give a suggestion. I think you shouldn’t ask your people to replace the shop owners. Let the shop owners do it. Those people of yours may be actors but honestly, they surely won’t be as realistic as the actual shop owners. In fact, I can guarantee that all the shop owners here are very friendly and will definitely cooperate with your work. If you agree on this, then it is settled.”

Huang Bin, who was sitting at the side, had never thought that Master Lin was so good at speaking. Moreover, those words he spoke were very reasonable.

Leader Hu thought for a moment and felt that that was fine as well. “Alright then. I will take this into proper consideration. This shouldn’t be much of a problem. As for the matter of compensation, we can discuss it.”

Lin Fan laughed waved his hand, “Compensation? There’s no need for compensation. This kind of thing is good for Cloud Street but you have to do a special feature for our Cloud Street and ask those celebrities to do an advertisement for us. For example, they can say a line during the show like ‘Cloud Street is awesome!’ or ‘The people of Cloud Street are so kind!’ or ‘Cloud Street’s products look really nice!’ and that would be fine. I think, to Leader Hu, all these are small matters and if you agree, I’ll be able to cooperate properly with you all. I’ll make sure you all finish filming happily. How’s that?”

Huang Bin couldn’t help but start laughing in his heart. Master Lin was trying to force an advertisement.

According to his knowledge, the advertisements in this show were sold to outsiders for millions.

When Leader Hu heard Master Lin’s words, he was stunned. It wasn’t a ridiculous request, but he felt that something wasn’t right. However, he couldn’t quite figure out what wasn’t right.
