Huayu: When the director changed his major

Chapter 396: "Fight to the Peak" Guest List

As soon as Cheng Xi entered the meeting room, everyone's eyes were focused on him.

At first glance, he seems ordinary, except that he looks a little better than ordinary people.

But when he saw the secretary Deng Jie following behind, he saw that he was tall and had an excellent temperament.

She looks very capable when walking in high heels.

Even in the entertainment industry, the temperament of this strong woman surpasses many workplace heroine roles played by others.

But when facing Cheng Xi, he ran over and helped him out a chair so that he could sit down.

Look at how she carefully serves Cheng Xi.

Now, everyone can feel Cheng Xi's temperament as the chairman of Zuibai Entertainment.

No wonder people say that the most beautiful clothes for men are women.

When Shen Teng and Qiao Shan saw the boss coming in, they stood up and shouted, "Hello, boss."

The others also reacted immediately, stood up and greeted Cheng Xi.

"Hello, Director Cheng!"

"Hello, Director Cheng!"

I saw everyone stood up, even some who were reluctant to do so.

For example, Yang Mi could only stand up and say:
"Hello, Director Cheng."

Cheng Xi nodded to everyone and motioned for them to sit down.

Yang Mi suddenly interrupted and said:
"Director Cheng, you're late."

Cheng Xi didn't even look at her:
"We agreed on half past ten, and now's just the right time. You're early."

This sentence made Yang Mi stuck in her next words.

I originally wanted to show the special relationship between me and Cheng Xi.

But I didn't expect that he didn't give his senior sister any face at all.

Especially in front of so many people.

After Cheng Xi finished speaking, he looked around.

The male guests include: Shen Teng, Qiao Shan, Zhou Shen, Lin Gengxin, Ke Jie (Go champion), Zhang Dada, Xu Weizhou, and Hu Xia (singer).
The female guests are: Yang Mi, Meng Ziyi (newcomer actress), Nazha (spokesperson), Lai Meiyun (member of a girl group), Angelababy, Xue Ming (former volleyball national team member), Jiang Minhui (Hong Kong fencing athlete), He Sui (model), Jin Xiaoluo (amateur internet celebrity), and Lim Yoona (member of Girls' Generation)
All 20 people on the list, ten men and ten women, were present.

Including myself, the lineup covers singers, actors, directors, girl groups, models, athletes, Korean and Hong Kong artists, those who are about to become outdated, those who are currently popular, newcomers and amateurs, etc.

Only Meng Ziyi and Jin Xiaoluo could be said to have been allowed in out of selfish motives, as they were allowed to show their faces.

The sample is representative to a certain extent.

Chen He, Jay Chou and others also play "Honor of Kings".

The two also have a good relationship with Cheng Xi.

But considering that they have been cooperating with Penguin's League of Legends and participating in anniversary competitions from time to time.

So I didn't speak and make things difficult for them.

The reason is the same as Reba.

Although there are many King of Glory players now, it is still not enough compared to League of Legends.

What's more, you may now be involved in a lawsuit.

I’m afraid that if I lose the lawsuit, it will be difficult for this show to even be broadcast.

Others either like the Zuibai variety show or really like playing games and want to try it out.

Or they come for the appearance fee.

Cheng Xi glanced at the list and said after a moment:
"It's almost time, everyone is here, let's talk a little about the afternoon show recording."

"Director Yu and Director Yan, you guys go first."

"Okay, Director Cheng."

Director Yu was a director sent by Yanjing Television Station, and we had worked together before.

Director Yan said that they were members of the gaming crew of Zuibai Games, a combination of a variety show expert and a gaming expert specially arranged by Cheng Xi.

When the two directors heard Cheng Xi's request, they went straight to the point and gave a brief introduction to the variety show's procedures and precautions.

"I believe all the players have filled in their rank, commonly used heroes, and other information in the basic information section. Our variety show will start with each player entering the stage one by one, and then starting with self-introductions, a brief ice-breaking journey."

"Then the second part is the highlight, which is the dehydration competition."

Once this was said, everyone present began to talk about it.

"Dehydration competition? What does that mean?"

"Does that sound like it means we have moisture?"

"This part is not written in the script."

"Can this segment be cancelled? It's not on the program!"

When people report their ranks, most of them report them higher.

It describes the highest rank you have ever reached.

After all, the people present were all artists or public figures, and many people were scrambling to take points.

Some people really don't know their true level.

Some people even exaggerate to the point of writing King rank when they are in Diamond rank.

Anyway, no matter what, I'm going to brag first. I heard there are a lot of experts there, so I must not make a fool of myself.

But I didn’t expect that this variety show would start with a dehydration competition.

Wouldn’t that be so ugly!
Cheng Xi listened to the buzzing noise at the scene and said:
"I joined this dehydration competition at short notice because the 20 of us need to be divided into four evenly matched teams. If we were to divide them entirely by rank, I'm afraid the gap in strength would be huge, as rank sometimes doesn't directly reflect individual skill."

A few people who were worried that the dehydration competition would not be good and wanted to protest to the director shut up when they saw Cheng Xi speak.

It’s okay to argue with other people, but if you want to go against Cheng Xi, forget it.

Now he is arm wrestling with penguins.

Although everyone is a variety show guest, they all know in their hearts who they should not offend.

"Director Yu, please continue."

When everyone saw Cheng Xi speak, they suddenly fell silent, as if they thought that people in the entertainment industry were snobbish.

Are you bullying me because I can't control myself?

However, some of the artists here are quite famous, and when Director Cheng leaves, who knows what kind of trouble may arise.

"Okay. The format of the dehydrated tournament is that opponents of similar rank will draw lots to determine their opponents, and then compete in three 1v1 solo matches. We'll have a team of top casual players and game experts in the background assigning points to everyone, which will ultimately determine our initial rank."

"After the initial rank is determined, we move on to the second phase, which is also written in the variety show manual. Four captains will be selected based on individual performance and contestant votes. They will then select their own team members. During this period, there will be some assessments and replacements before the final team is formed."

"After the fixed teams are formed, the first round of competition will begin. This will roughly cover the first three episodes. We will subsequently adjust our program segments based on actual conditions."

Director Yu continued to introduce, and after about ten minutes he asked:
"Okay, I've pretty much finished what I said. Does anyone have any questions?"

Then everyone started asking questions at once.

There are no fans watching here, and we are all artists, so there is no sense of restraint.

Just say whatever you want.

Angelababy sat there looking quiet and silent.

He just looked towards Cheng Xi from time to time.

This time she finally had the opportunity to work with this talented director, and she was excited.

Brother Xiaoming is still nice to me.

I just don't know whether his junior brother has a good temper.

Yang Mi did raise a few questions related to the game.

At this time, Cheng Xi also took a special look at Jiang Minhui.

At that time, the planning department included her and Sun Yiwen on the list given to them, both of whom were high-level fencing athletes.

They both won championships afterwards.

Of course, I don’t know if they can do the same this time.

The reason Jiang Minhui was chosen was because Cheng Xi, the "Smiling Sword God," left a deep impression on me. Plus, she was from Hong Kong. If they found one athlete in mainland China and another in Hong Kong, it would further enhance the value of the united front.

As for Angelababy, she originally wanted to be arranged in the second batch, but she had rejected Brother Xiaoming several times.

In addition, Huang Xiaoming suddenly mentioned that he and Angelababy were about to get their marriage certificate.

He said he wanted to give her a wedding present.

After saying this, Cheng Xi knew that he could not offend this senior brother no matter what.

As for some of the bad things that happened between her and Huayi, they did not affect her private friendship with Huang Xiaoming.

Cheng Xi also vaguely remembered that this year seemed to be the beginning of the wedding of the century.

It is said that half of the entertainment industry has been invited.

But unfortunately, they parted ways in the end.

But things might change this time, because Angelababy did not have the opportunity to join "Running Man", which really helped her break out of the circle and become a top star.

Instead, he came to "Fight to the Peak" for his own reasons.

It can't be called a joke of fate.

As for how she performs in the show, it depends on her own ability.

As for the two troublemakers, Zhang Dada and Xu Weizhou, Cheng Xi looked at the list and nodded in agreement.

After all, the player base of Honor of Kings is not that large now.

In addition, they also have to be good at performing, so the range of artists to choose from is actually not very wide.

These two people also contributed some discordant voices to the show, which can increase the dramatic conflict of the variety show.

It is also what Cheng Xi likes to see.

Needless to say, Lai Meiyu was named by Cheng Xi himself.

This little girl's performance in "Fight to the Peak" can be described as that of a concerned parent.

Compared with some sloppy artists, the audience even feels sorry for them.

He plays well, has a wide hero pool, knows many positions, and is a great team player.

She was one of the people who benefited the most from this show.

I hope she can perform well again this time.

Cheng Xi will pay close attention.

As for the fact that Lin Yuna could come, Cheng Xi really didn't expect it.

At that time, the planning department asked, according to their own requirements, if they could have some foreign content, from both sides of the Taiwan Strait and Hong Kong.

When it comes to public figures in various fields.

They actually submitted Lim Yoona.

Cheng Xi really had no idea that she could play Honor of Kings.

All I know is that her Chinese is really good.

The artists in the Zuibai group are relatively well-informed, so Deng Jie told them many things in advance.

No detailed questions were asked.

No matter what the boss wants to do, we will fully support him.

However, Deng Jie also kept the dehydration competition confidential as requested by Cheng Xi.

Only Nazha knows.

Otherwise, when the time comes, everyone will see that the artists from the Zuibai series are so honest when reporting their ranks.

Everyone else is so floating.

Wouldn't it immediately make everyone see the difference in treatment?

At this time, Yang Mi glanced at Cheng Xi and started to laugh with Nazha beside her:
"Naza, do you know about the dehydration competition?"

"Ah? I, I think, I know."

When Yang Mi heard this, she secretly sighed that Cheng Xi was biased.

After all, he is the most famous artist among this group of players except Cheng Xi.

Why didn't you tell me?

Deceiving too much!

"Luckily, I kept a handy rank when I signed up for it. I actually have 20 stars in King, but I signed up for 1 star."

"Hehe, I knew nothing good would happen when Cheng Xi was around. Now I want to see how interesting the expressions of those people who reported their ranks will be after they are dehydrated."

"By the way, Nazha, what rank did you sign up for?"

Nazha said rather embarrassedly at this time:

"Sister Mi, you are amazing. I am far behind you. I am already at Platinum 5 level, so I signed up for Platinum 5."

"Platinum 5, that's really not that high. Don't you usually ask your good senior to guide you?"

Yang Mi said this while secretly complaining:
As expected, Cheng Xi doesn't even know how to take good care of Nazha as the spokesperson.

Just horrible.

At this time, Cheng Xi also asked the staff to distribute the detailed forms of ranks reported by everyone one by one.

Now everyone's expressions became interesting.

Cheng Xi couldn't help laughing when he saw this table.

Damn, so many people dare to apply to be the king.

Even Zhang Dada is a king with 1 star
The two athletes, Xue Ming and Ke Jie, are kings with more than 20 stars.

This made everyone look at the two of them.

Yes, these two people are not from the entertainment industry.

One has an invincible sports gene, the other is a Go champion, so naturally their brain works better than ours.

It seems that we can't defeat them.

The lowest rank is Nazha's Platinum Five.

Jin Xiaoluo and He Sui are also platinum.

For the others, most of them are in Diamond or above.

The kings account for more than one-third.

When Nazha saw that her rank was at the bottom, she immediately panicked.

I am the spokesperson!

At this time, Cheng Xi took the rank table and said:

"The recording will begin this afternoon. This time, we won't be doing any pre-recording, and there won't even be any ice-breaking at the beginning, because I want the most authentic reactions. Authentic variety shows are the only ones that have vitality. I believe everyone has seen the success of 'Running Man'."

"I welcome and am honored that everyone is here. This is a testament to your trust in Zuibai Entertainment and Zuibai Games. I believe that everyone is here because they love games, and I hope everyone can share this passion with the audience."

Cheng Xi's words were not ambiguous.

The main purpose of his program is to promote the game "Honor of Kings".

It can attract the maximum number of players to register and fight the penguin battle well.

Everyone present also understands the importance of this variety show, and Zuibai Entertainment will definitely promote it with all its might.

Competitiveness is indeed necessary, but variety show elements are also indispensable.

But its biggest function is to deliver the fun of the game and show everyone's love for the game.

This is the only way to attract more people to join "Honor of Kings".

"I won't say much to encourage you. We will spend at least a week together. During this time, we are equals, both opponents and teammates."

"Finally, I wish our "Fight to the Peak" can be a hit and a wonderful battle."

Everyone echoed and shouted together:
"It was a hit, and the fight was spectacular!"
