Chapter 354: Chapter 353: Participate in an Entertainment Show?
These girls are all newly signed artists at Xinghuan Entertainment, some of whom haven’t even signed a contract yet.
To put it nicely, they’re interns, but to be blunt, they’re just temps.
Moreover, they’re temps without a salary.
As long as Xinghuan Entertainment deems you without value for cultivation, you can be discarded at any minute.
These girls are, of course, not unfamiliar with the loud-voiced man.
He is a major director at Xinghuan Entertainment.
Not the kind who directs movies or television dramas, but one who specializes in entertainment programs.
Wang Dao’s shows are ones only top-tier stars can appear on, so you could say they’re quite prestigious.
If any of these girls get a chance to make an appearance on a show directed by Wang Dao,
even for just a few seconds, that person could probably take a big leap towards success.
Therefore, seeing Wang Dao cheerfully initiating a conversation with the handsome guy,
it’s not just these girls who have been paying attention to the handsome guy, even the boys who want to become stars are all focusing their attention on Wang Dao and the handsome guy.
Everybody has the same thought in their minds: The handsome guy’s identity is no ordinary one!
The heiress of Xinghuan Entertainment is accompanying him, and now even Wang Dao, who usually has his nose in the air, is fawning over the handsome guy.
Yet the handsome guy seems completely indifferent, very cold.
Of course, this made everyone even more curious about the handsome guy’s identity.
"You must have mistaken him for someone else?"
The only answer Four Eyes could think of was this one.
"No, it’s hard to mistake someone else for Su Mu, who is this handsome."
"It’s impossible for there to be another person as handsome as Su Mu."
Before the girls had the chance to discuss privately, Four Eyes had already denied his own suggestion.
And to be honest, if someone wants to be mistaken for Su Mu, they’d need to have the capital, right?
"Yes, yes, I didn’t recognize the wrong person."
"In this world, it would be impossible to find someone who looks exactly like the handsome guy," the man said, nodding vigorously in agreement with Four Eyes’ comment.
The man knew he would definitely not recognize the wrong person.
He must have seen the handsome guy’s face no less than a hundred times.
How could such a low-level mistake as recognizing the wrong person occur?
"Gentlemen, let me introduce myself first, I am Wang Yiming, a director at Xinghuan Entertainment."
Thanks to Four Eyes speaking up just then, it helped alleviate the embarrassment for Wang Yiming.
Wang Yiming, unlike He Qiya, didn’t only have eyes for Su Mu.
He was relatively polite and included Four Eyes in his greetings as well.
Wang Yiming didn’t know the exact relationship between the bespectacled boy and the handsome guy and, of course, didn’t dare to offend rashly.
"Director? Are you saying you want my friend to act in a movie?"
Su Mu didn’t speak, but Four Eyes’ curiosity had been piqued.
"What kind of movie do you want to invite my friend to act in, the male lead or the second male lead?"
"How much is the acting fee? If it’s too low, then forget it; I’m afraid you can’t afford my friend."
Watching Four Eyes once again display his chatterbox nature, Su Mu sighed in his heart.
Does Four Eyes still remember what he came here for today?
Without any progress on the mystery girl, is Four Eyes interested in other matters now?
"No, you’re mistaken, I’m not a film director, I direct entertainment shows."
Wang Yiming repeatedly waved his hands to show Four Eyes that he had misunderstood his identity.
Who makes more money filming movies than entertainment programs these days?
Haven’t you seen many stars starting to switch to entertainment shows?
You should know that participating in entertainment shows takes less time and earns money quickly.
The most important thing is that Wang Yiming’s show is very famous.
It could be said to be one of the top shows in the country.
Many stars are even lining up, waiting for a chance to be on it.
"Director of an entertainment show? So you’re looking for my friend to appear on your program?"
"Are you sure it’s not a talent show? My friend isn’t any kind of star, nor has he mixed in the entertainment circle. How could you think of inviting him to be on an entertainment show?"
Initially, Four Eyes thought this director had noticed Su Mu’s good looks and wanted to cast Su Mu in some youth idol drama.
In those idol dramas, the highest requirement for actors is usually that the women must be beautiful and the men must be handsome.
That’s enough to attract a substantial audience.
But in reality, it wasn’t the case. This Wang Yiming actually turned out to be a director of an entertainment program.
Four Eyes felt that having been classmates with Su Mu for three years, he had not noticed any particular talent in Su Mu for this kind of thing.
Is it now the case that entertainment programs just require a handsome face, and that’s enough?
"Sir, I really am the director of Happy Sunday from Xinghuan Entertainment."
It seemed he realized he hadn’t fully disclosed his background, as neither the handsome man nor the bespectacled man would believe him otherwise.
Wang Yiming once again took the initiative to introduce himself.
"Happy Sunday? You really are the director of Happy Sunday?"
Four Eyes asked again with some disbelief.
"Really, this is Xinghuan Entertainment, how could I deceive you here?"
Wang Yiming felt that if he really were a scammer, he wouldn’t be bold enough to commit fraud at Xinghuan Entertainment.
After all, Happy Sunday is a flagship program of Xinghuan Entertainment.
That would be like lying right in front of the actual person, wouldn’t it?
Wang Yiming thought it wasn’t that he looked foolish; it was the little fat guy with glasses who seemed a bit foolish.
In contrast, the handsome guy was different.
Despite what Wang Yiming said, the handsome guy remained completely calm, not showing any superfluous expressions.
In his mind, Wang Yiming gave a silent thumbs up to the handsome guy.
"Su Mu, did you hear that? He is the director of Happy Sunday."
"Happy Sunday is such a great show, I watch it every week."
Four Eyes fully believed Wang Yiming’s words.
Thinking about it, Happy Sunday is Xinghuan Entertainment’s top entertainment program.
Even if Wang Yiming wanted to deceive someone, he wouldn’t do it on his employer’s home turf.
That would be asking to be exposed, wouldn’t it?
"Su Mu, if you go on TV, can you take me with you? I also want to experience what it’s like to be a star."
Four Eyes could already envision the scene of Su Mu taking him along on TV in front of a national audience.
"What are you talking about, who said anything about participating in an entertainment show."
Su Mu really couldn’t stand Four Eyes’ train of thought.
He hadn’t said anything yet, but Four Eyes had already thought up a whole bunch of future events.
As for those entertainment shows, Su Mu really had no interest whatsoever.
Although he would occasionally watch that Happy Sunday program.
It’s indeed not bad, but for Su Mu, it was just a way to kill some boring time.
If there really was any depth to it, Su Mu felt there was none.
It was nothing more than inviting a bunch of stars to play games.
Anyway, if Su Mu were to participate, he would definitely refuse.
"But the director of Happy Sunday came to find you, right?"
Four Eyes had been dreaming, but Su Mu’s words crushed any hope he had.
The director named Wang Yiming had clearly come for Su Mu.
Four Eyes knew that if Su Mu didn’t want to participate in the entertainment show,
even if he offered to pay for it, the director wouldn’t agree to let him on the show.
Happy Sunday was the ratings king of national entertainment shows; how could they let a nobody like him on?
Wouldn’t that be dragging the show down and affecting the viewership?
Four Eyes had some self-awareness.
Four Eyes knew that unless Su Mu was there to lead, if it were just him, that episode of Happy Sunday would definitely have the worst viewership.
Of course, Four Eyes was just thinking to himself.
The director wasn’t a fool; how could he really let Four Eyes on the show?
Su Mu was speechless at Four Eyes.
Just because someone approached him, does he have to go?
Besides, Su Mu really didn’t understand how Four Eyes’s thought process worked.
This so-called director, Wang Yiming, never mentioned going on the show from beginning to end; how could Four Eyes just assume that’s the case?
Anyway, Su Mu hadn’t heard the words "going on Happy Sunday."
Not to mention Wang Yiming hadn’t said it, even if Wang Yiming really invited Su Mu to Happy Sunday, Su Mu would still outright refuse.
Su Mu had absolutely no interest in such entertainment shows.
"Su Mu, won’t you really consider it?"
After all, as a three-year friend, Four Eyes had some understanding of the look Su Mu was giving him.
His voice much lower, Four Eyes knew his chances of going on Happy Sunday were basically gone.
Su Mu’s attitude was clear.
It’s known that Su Mu is a person with strong convictions.
It’s not just because Su Mu is the young heir to the Su Family conglomerate that he has the confidence to be so decisive.
Even when Su Mu didn’t know his true identity, he was someone who wouldn’t let others influence his decisions.
That is, what’s commonly called a person of strong will.
Four Eyes didn’t need Su Mu’s response; he sighed and already knew the answer.
"Mr. Su, I really do want to invite you to our Happy Sunday show."
"Compensation isn’t an issue, I can offer you the highest star pay grade that corresponds to other guests of the same period."
"For timing, we can work around your schedule, just let me know two days in advance."
Wang Yiming was all ears to the conversation between Su Mu and Four Eyes.
Of course, he had now finally learned the name of the handsome guy.
The round-faced guy with glasses kept calling him Su Mu, and Wang Yiming felt sure about it.
However, the name Su Mu seemed familiar to Wang Yiming, but he couldn’t recall where he had heard it at the moment.
Wang Yiming didn’t dwell on where he had heard the name "Su Mu."
Wang Yiming felt that his current biggest task was to get the handsome guy to agree to participate in his Happy Sunday show.
Wang Yiming knew that if the handsome guy agreed,
he would have an ace up his sleeve.
Wang Yiming even already envisioned the episode of Happy Sunday with the handsome guy, where the ratings would soar higher and higher.
Originally, it was just Four Eyes babbling away, and Su Mu hadn’t paid much attention.
But now that Wang Yiming had said the same thing, Su Mu was somewhat curious.
You see, Su Mu had never participated in any sort of program like that.
Where did Director Wang Yiming see that he had talent for entertainment?
Was just having a good-looking face enough?
Happiness Sunday isn’t a low-class show, Su Mu thought this director wouldn’t be so superficial, right?
"Did you guys hear that? Wang Dao is inviting the handsome guy to be on the Happiness Sunday show,"
"Heard it, heard it, it’s not like you’re the only one with ears. With Wang Dao’s loud voice, anyone who’s not deaf could hear it."
"True, do you think all directors have such loud voices because they’re used to yelling all the time?"
Speaking of which, even the grim-faced, bespectacled director at Xinghuan Entertainment had a very strong voice when he spoke.
"Why discuss these irrelevant things now? What do you think is the reason Wang Dao has invited the handsome guy to Happiness Sunday?"
"Isn’t Happiness Sunday a show that only big-name stars can participate in?"
"I heard that Director Wang is very strict with his requirements. Even some second-tier stars who want to join the Happiness Sunday show get turned down by him."
"But this handsome guy obviously isn’t from our circle, at least he’s not famous yet."
"Could it be because of some connections from above?"
People started to analyze.
The so-called "above" obviously referred to the higher-ups.
And this higher-up should be He Yuguang, the chairman of Xinghuan Entertainment.
After all, today it was He Qiya herself who accompanied the handsome guy to the company.
He Qiya isn’t an employee of Xinghuan Entertainment, so she definitely represented He Yuguang.
"I don’t think so. From what I heard, Wang Dao has been looking for the handsome guy for a long time, and it was just by chance that he met him here."
"I heard that too. Moreover, if it were the higher-ups’ decision, there would be a direct arrangement, no need for Wang Dao to personally invite the handsome guy, right?"
"The main point is the handsome guy rejected it, proving it really isn’t an arrangement from above."
"Why would he reject such a great opportunity?"
"Appear on Happiness Sunday and he’d nearly be on the fast track to fame, wouldn’t he?"
"If Wang Dao let me be on Happiness Sunday, I’d even call him daddy if he wanted."
"Cut it out, you might be willing to call him, but Wang Dao wouldn’t agree to it, so stop flattering yourself."
Wang Yiming’s voice was indeed loud, and the people on the first floor had been paying attention to the commotion around Su Mu all this time.
Now, with the addition of Wang Yiming, everyone’s attention was brazenly focused over here.
It wasn’t that they weren’t worried about whether the young miss would have objections; the news was simply too explosive.
They just couldn’t control their own curiosity.
"I’m not interested,"
Replying to what Wang Yiming thought were very tempting conditions, Su Mu decisively rejected him with an indifferent response.
An entertainment show?
Su Mu really didn’t want to become famous, okay?
"Director Wang, what exactly did you see as Su Mu’s strengths?"
"I know my friend is very handsome, but your Happiness Sunday show isn’t lacking in fame either."
"Don’t you always promote the idea of focusing on the talents of the guests?"
"Basically, if they’re not multi-talented stars, even if they have great fame, you wouldn’t invite them to Happiness Sunday, would you?"
"My friend is both handsome and a top student, but that doesn’t seem to suit the entertainment nature of your Happiness Sunday, does it?"
As usual, it was Four Eyes acting on his curious nature and launching a series of questions.
