Chapter 352 - 3 Episodes (2/2)
Avaleigh glanced at the confident man and nodded her head.
Although Danson was new to this, he was good at socializing and he knew the producer well, so he was not concerned at all. The fact that they were invited all the way to Shanghai was already promising.
And, he was right.
As soon as the producer saw Avaleigh, his eyes immediately lit up. Dressed in a purple-patterned t-shirt and ripped jeans, the producer walked over to Avaleigh and looked her up and down. ”Oh darling, you're perfect!” he exclaimed.
Avaleigh had never met this man before, but he obviously knew who she was. This was the first time that Producer Xue had seen her in person and she looked even better in person than onscreen.
When Danson first mentioned Avaleigh to him, he was ecstatic. He was a huge fan of hers and she sounded like the kind of person he had been searching for.
Like many other successful variety shows, Producer Xue's variety show was following a standard format. A permanent cast of 7-8 members would be put up to different challenges each week; sometimes they would have group challenges, sometimes they would have solo changes. The 7-8 members usually consisted of 1-2 women and the rest were men, mainly because the filming hours were long and the challenges were strenuous. The woman/women he chose had to be both attractive for a bit of eye-candy, but also strong and independent so she could be a good role model. She couldn't be afraid of getting dirty and she had to be prepared to appear on camera with little to no makeup. Moreover, she had to have the ability to win against the men in challenges, whilst showing a gentle caring side towards both the other members and the guests.
Avaleigh was a beautiful natural beauty, she was an idol that was used to working long hours and she was extremely fit and healthy. On top of that, she spoke Cantonese, Mandarin, English, and Korean; an ability that could help her relate to a variety of international viewers and guests.
And, most importantly, she had just lost her contract in Korea so she had plenty of time to commit to a weekly show. No matter how the producer looked at it, she was perfect.
But, he still needed to test her chemistry with the other cast members. If there was no chemistry, then everything else was useless.
With a smile, the producer pulled out a contract and placed it in front of Avaleigh. ”We will sign you up as a guest for 3 episodes. If you are a good fit and the viewers like you, we will keep you on. If not, then we will pay you for the 3 episodes and bid you farewell. Are you OK with that?”
Avaleigh looked at the contract and smiled. At a time like this when she had absolutely nothing else going for her, 3 episodes were already more than she could ask for. So, she looked into the producer's eyes and nodded her head. ”Yes, I won't disappoint!” she replied excitedly.
