Chapter 96 These fans are quite rebellious
While Xu An was complaining, the director not far away was having a bit of a breakdown.
"You said Xiao Hang was in a car accident and can't come?"
Director Zhang Hui felt a little numb after hearing what the assistant director said.
The assistant director nodded with a long face and said, "Xiao Hang's car hit someone on the road, and the person suffered minor injuries. His agent just called to say that he will be absent from this recording."
Upon hearing this, Zhang Hui immediately felt a headache coming on.
Putting aside the negative public opinion that Xiao Hang's car accident might bring to the production team, all the other guests have already arrived. We can't just cancel the recording because of Xiao Hang, can we?
But we can't find anyone else right now!
These kinds of program recordings require booking a time slot in advance; how could they possibly find one for you on the spot!
Should we start recording immediately if we're missing one person?
It can only be this way.
Zhang Hui looked helpless and was about to inform the other guests on the show when he saw Xu An chatting with Shen Wanwan, and his eyes lit up.
"Bai Ge, this looks like the guy who recorded Director Chen's program with you..."
Zhang Hui frowned, unable to recall Xu An's name for a moment.
"Xu An".
Bai Ge smiled and reminded him.
"Yes, it's Xu An. I wonder if he could temporarily fill in as our guest!"
Upon hearing Zhang Hui's words, Bai Ge showed no surprise.
She had just heard that a guest had encountered an unexpected accident, and that's when she thought of this possibility.
Without making a decision for Xu An, Bai Ge called out softly.
"Xiao An, Director Zhang wants to see you about something!"
Xu An approached the two men, and after listening to Zhang Hui's explanation, his expression immediately turned serious. He looked somewhat troubled and said:
"Director Zhang, although I've recorded Director Chen's program before, I was a complete novice back then. You're forcing me into this role!"
Hearing the hint of refusal in Xu An's voice, Zhang Hui grew anxious and said earnestly:
"Xiao Xu, I watched one of Director Chen's shows before. Even though you're an ordinary person, the show was very successful. You have to believe in yourself."
Upon hearing this, Xu An appeared somewhat hesitant.
"This has nothing to do with the show's effect, it's mainly because..."
"You'll have to pay more."
Upon hearing those three words, Zhang Hui, who was still trying to figure out how to persuade Xu An, was stunned.
So you're not worried about the quality of your show, you're just worried that I haven't paid you enough?
Bai Ge, on the other hand, had an expression of "I knew it" on his face.
Realizing what had happened, Zhang Hui wore a look of bewilderment, neither laughing nor crying.
"You should have said so earlier! Here's what we'll do, Xiao Xu, you just need to fill in for this episode, how about 100,000?"
Upon hearing this, Xu An blinked.
One hundred thousand per period?
His expression immediately became very sincere.
"Director Zhang, you and Sister Bai Ge are friends, money and all that doesn't matter!"
"Are you sure one episode is enough? How about we record two more? I'll give you a 5% discount!"
Xu An said in a tone as if he had suffered a major hemorrhage.
Unlike Chen Hong, who was used to it, Zhang Hui, who was seeing Xu An's change of expression for the first time, couldn't hold back his emotions.
What does a 5% discount mean?
Do I need your little bit of money?
"Ahem, let's record this episode first."
Seeing the somewhat regretful look on Xu An's face, Zhang Hui's lips twitched. He quickly gathered the other guests present and announced that Xu An had joined the show at the last minute.
The other guests also had different expressions when they heard that Xu An had joined the show at the last minute.
Shen Wanwan, Tang Shu, and Chen Youxi naturally showed their welcome, but Liu Mingyang felt a little awkward.
No, how did you end up on a TV show out of nowhere? Aren't you an assistant?
However, Liu Mingyang didn't have much time to recover, and soon, "Star Journey" premiered.
Like "Peach Blossom Spring", "Star Journey" also adopted the format of live streaming first and then editing.
As soon as the program started, viewers flooded into the live stream.
Seeing Tang Shu, Chen Youxi, and Liu Mingyang appear on the live broadcast, the audience initially thought it was just an ordinary program.
[They're here! We get to see Sister Tang Shu again!]
I heard this filming location is Chengdu, it sounds like it's going to be a lot of fun.
I'm just curious what new guests will be coming this time?
[By the way, where's Xiao Hang? I haven't seen him.]
Some viewers in the live chat were wondering why Xiao Hang was absent, but when they saw the two new guests slowly appearing, they immediately put all other thoughts aside.
[Shen Wanwan and Bai Ge? The production team is really getting good at this; they managed to get them on the show.]
Goodness, I was just watching the finished product of the second episode of "Peach Blossom Spring," and now I feel like I'm in a time warp.
[Seriously, Chen Youxi really is a Starry Night Girl; this Starry Night Journey has a weird vibe about it!]
It's alright, it's alright as long as An Gou isn't around!
[Speaking of which, with Xiao Hang absent, will a new guest be added?]
You mean... I don't want that kind of thing!
As if sensing something, the viewers in the live stream subconsciously began to resist.
Unfortunately, what's meant to happen will happen.
As the last man to enter the frame appeared, the live stream chat erupted in wails.
【No, I've already changed shows, why is An Gou still chasing me?】
[What's the point of watching this? I'm outta here!]
Boycott Andogs! Absolutely do not watch!
Backstage, Zhang Hui looked at the comments in the live stream and suddenly became anxious. He turned to the assistant director and said, "Why didn't you remind me that Xu An has so many haters? The live stream's popularity is going to plummet!"
You didn't even consult me before letting Xu An appear on the show!
How can I remind you!
The assistant director thought to himself, but on the surface he had no choice but to nod obsequiously.
However, something that puzzled Zhang Hui and the assistant director soon happened.
Despite the fierce criticism in the live stream, the popularity of the stream has not decreased but increased, and the growth is quite rapid, indicating that a steady stream of people are entering the live stream.
The two looked at each other, bewildered as they watched the live stream's popularity steadily rise.
"Did you have someone else do the fake betting?"
Zhang Hui's tone carried a hint of doubt.
Seeing the assistant director shake his head in a speechless manner, Zhang Hui also showed a strange expression.
"Could these people be here for Xu An?"
"Is he really that popular???"
Looking at the live stream filled with pessimistic voices, and then at the ever-increasing popularity of the live stream, Zhang Hui felt it was somewhat surreal.
So you all say you won't watch, but you can't help but open the live stream?
They all appear to be black powder on the surface, but are actually just crystal powder underneath, right?
"Xu An's fans are quite rebellious; this is the first time I've ever seen them."
Zhang Hui and the assistant director next to him sighed.
If the people in the live stream knew that Zhang Hui had already identified them as Xu An's fans, they would probably be so angry that they wouldn't be able to speak!
They simply wanted to see Xu An suffer!
The live stream's excitement and Zhang Hui's thoughts had no effect on Xu An at this moment.
He was listening to Tang Shu explain their itinerary for their trip to Chengdu!
