992 Your Opinion Is My Opinion (1/2)

Needless to say, every episode's competing guest was a popular idol, and even the four judge-consultants were very famous in the entertainment circle.

The main thing was that the four judge-consultants were always there in every episode. No matter what, the status of their celebrities was better than those of Classic X Files.

”Director Ge, do you want to consider switching out Ni Xue and Lu Qi? It's alright to move her to the second episode to air. Now we should hurry to bring all the big-shot celebrities to film an episode. And we can edit it into the first episode in time. Wu Guan and Xu Jingfeng, Jiang Yuhan and Xu Jingfeng, every one of them is a popular celebrity. Ni Xue and Lu Qi are not enough,” Assistant Director Wang said.

Ge Guangzhen pressed the center of his brows in irritation. ”Do you think I don't know? But our main sponsor right now is the Lu Corporation, and Lu Qiyuan said specifically that he wants Lu Qi to be in the first episode. Yet Lu Qi's acting skills are not enough, and her popularity is not enough. If we let other actors compete with her, she would definitely be suppressed. If Lu Qi gets too embarrassed, we won't be able to explain it to Lu Qiyuan.”

Ge Guangzhen sighed in irritation. ”He's providing the money so he has the biggest authority. What can we do?”

Assistant Director Wang mocked, ”He took out just a small amount of money yet he has so many requests. It's just 40 million yuan. Our production team had to request for more from the station, and only then was it enough. We still had to find more money to make up for it. This sort of main sponsor, it's embarrassing just hearing it.”

”What other method is there? We can't not have a main sponsor, right?” Ge Guangzhen said helplessly. ”It'll just depend on the viewership ratings of the first episode. If it becomes an explosively popular variety show, this season's cost of main sponsorship will increase. At that time, no one would care about the Lu Corporation at all!”

Even the cost of the main sponsorship depended on the price. It would need to be discussed.

At night, Lu Man received Xia Qingwei's phone call.

”Mom,” Lu Man called.

”Man Man, I… I have something to tell you.” Xia Qingwei felt it was a bit tough to say. To actually have to tell it to her daughter, she was too embarrassed.

”Go on,” Lu Man said with a smile.

She had asked Han Zhuoli in the daytime whether Wang Juhuai was reliable, and she now felt better.
