Wearing high heels, she approached He Qiqi with her assistant, a makeup artist, and a stylist, extending her right hand and saying, "Hello, Mr. He, I am Leng Wanwan."
The voice, like the person, was equally cold and aloof.
In contrast, He Qiqi had a completely different style. She smiled gently and shook hands with Leng Wanwan, "Hello, I am He Qiqi, the executive general manager of Shuangmu Entertainment. I am very pleased that Ms. Leng accepted our invitation."
Leng Wanwan smiled politely, "Mr. He, you're too kind. It's mainly because your Shuangmu Entertainment's offer is very sincere. Besides, I've basically reached the top in the film and music industry, so trying out variety shows wouldn't be bad."
If someone else said this, it would sound like self-praise, but no one would think so when it came to Leng Wanwan.
The fact that a woman under thirty years old could become the undisputed number one in the Xia Kingdom's entertainment industry speaks volumes.
He Qiqi didn't say anything more polite and made a gesture of invitation.
Leng Wanwan nodded in acknowledgment, but she did not walk in front. Instead, she walked side by side with He Qiqi. This small detail was enough to prove a lot.
He Qiqi secretly admired her. Whether it was temperament or aura, Leng Wanwan was one of the most outstanding people she had ever met. In addition, her cold and jade-like face made He Qiqi, who was also a woman, feel a little ashamed.
but……
That depends on who you're comparing yourself to!
Compared to the young lady, hey, this Leng Wanwan is far inferior.
A few minutes later, led by He Qiqi, the group of five took the elevator to the eleventh floor.
He Qiqi led the group to the entrance of the second VIP dressing room and nodded to Leng Wanwan, "Miss Leng, please go in and rest for a while. Someone will notify you when the recording starts."
Leng Wanwan nodded slightly, then looked towards the adjacent VIP dressing room number one. "Is anyone in there?"
"Have."
He Qiqi nodded with a smile, "The only two artists signed by Shuangmu Entertainment are in the No. 1 VIP dressing room, Lin Mo and An Youyu. I believe Miss Leng should have heard of them."
"This is natural."
A hint of curiosity flashed in Leng Wanwan's eyes. She was naturally familiar with the names Lin Mo and An Youyu.
Today, Lin Mo has nearly 80 million followers on social media, while An Youyu has a staggering 160 million. In contrast, An Youyu, the number one celebrity in the entertainment industry, has only just surpassed 80 million followers, and that's only because of a recent hit movie that generated a surge in traffic.
Two college freshmen, one with almost the same number of followers as her, and the other with even twice as many—this is something that seems unbelievable no matter how you look at it.
The key point is that neither of them has any works, which is what Leng Wanwan can't understand. Without any works, why can they attract so many fans?
Is it all because of that three-minute university promotional video?
In Leng Wanwan's opinion, that didn't even qualify as a work of art. She had watched Xia Bei's university promotional video no less than ten times. She admitted that it was indeed well-made, but it shouldn't have generated such a terrifying surge in online traffic.
Just as He Qiqi was about to turn and leave, Leng Wanwan suddenly called out to her.
He Qiqi turned around, her eyes filled with doubt, "Is there anything else, Miss Leng?"
Leng Wanwan pointed to the door of the No. 1 VIP dressing room, "President He, may I go in and meet Lin Mo and An Youyu? I have long admired them, but unfortunately they are not in the entertainment industry, so I have never had the chance to meet them. Now that I have finally run into them, I would like to go in and say hello."
Xu Xiaoyu, the assistant standing behind Leng Wanwan, was filled with surprise when she heard this.
She has been following Leng Wanwan since graduating from university, almost five years now. It has always been others who visit Leng Wanwan, and it was only once that Leng Wanwan took the initiative to visit someone else.
He Qiqi thought for a moment, then slowly shook her head. "Miss Leng, I'm really sorry, I can't make that decision. How about I go and ask around for you?"
"Oh?"
This answer surprised Leng Wanwan, who half-jokingly said, "As the CEO of Shuangmu Entertainment, Mr. He, can't you even make a decision on such a small matter?"
He Qiqi nodded sincerely and admitted, "Miss Leng is right. I really can't make this decision. Lin Mo and An Youyu are not contracted artists in the ordinary sense."
Actually, there was one more thing she didn't say: these two were ancestors.
Even Leng Wanwan needs their permission to see the two of them.
"never mind."
He Qiqi's attitude made Leng Wanwan even more curious about Lin Mo and An Youyu, but she temporarily gave up the idea of visiting them. She had already taken such initiative, and if she still needed He Qiqi to ask for their consent, it wouldn't be in line with her status as the number one person in the entertainment industry.
A humble attitude is acceptable.
A posture that's too humble won't work!
She also cares about her image.
He Qiqi smiled apologetically, said nothing more, and turned to leave.
After the four of them entered the No. 2 VIP dressing room, Xu Xiaoyu immediately complained, "Sister, that President He really doesn't take you seriously at all! You're a recognized number one person in the entertainment industry, and you took the initiative to visit an artist in her company. That's clearly giving her face, yet she still had that kind of attitude. It's really too much!"
Leng Wanwan smiled dismissively, "Xiaoyu, I didn't see any disrespect in President He's attitude. If I'm not mistaken, Lin Mo and An Youyu are not as simple as they seem on the surface."
Xu Xiaoyu muttered, "Just got lucky."
Leng Wanwan's smile vanished, replaced by a stern tone. "Xiaoyu, have you forgotten what I taught you? Do more and talk less. Words can bring trouble. Although I am the number one person in the entertainment industry and appear to be incredibly glamorous, in the eyes of many big shots, I am just an insignificant actress."
Xu Xiaoyu fell silent, then quickly admitted her mistake, saying, "Sister, I know I was wrong. Please don't be angry. I will never talk nonsense again."
"Just keep it in mind. If it happens again, I'll deduct it from your salary."
Leng Wanwan's expression softened slightly, her eyes narrowing involuntarily as she muttered to herself, "Tsk, I'll have to take a good look at An Youyu later. This is the first time in my life I've felt so outshone in terms of looks..."
Chapter 861 Appearances in Succession
The recording was originally scheduled for 9:00 AM, but due to the troublesome setup of various equipment, it was delayed until almost 9:30 AM.
After confirming that all equipment was working properly, Yang Jianhua, a well-known variety show director in China, gave the order, and rousing music filled the recording studio. Accompanied by the music, the famous host He Shui took to the stage with a microphone in hand.
Dressed in a formal suit, He Shui wore a gentle smile and was very approachable.
At the same time, a short film with anime elements was playing on the large screen behind He Shui. It was the promotional video for "Dragon and Phoenix Splendor," in which a dragon and a phoenix soared through the heavens, circling each other. Finally, the scene froze on either side of a star, and the music in the room changed to light and cheerful instrumental music.
"Hello everyone, both those in the audience and those watching on TV. I'm He Shui, welcome to Dragon and Phoenix Splendor. I'm sure you're all a little confused right now. What kind of variety show is Dragon and Phoenix Splendor, and what's it about?"
He Shui waved his hand with a smile, "Everyone, don't be impatient, just keep watching, because... I don't know what the content of 'Dragon and Phoenix Splendor' is either."
Upon hearing this, hundreds of audience members burst into laughter.
He Shui's voice continued, "However, I can tell you that 'Dragon and Phoenix Splendor' is an intellectual variety show. It is said... just said, that the lineup of celebrities invited to this show is unprecedented. Of course, if that's not the case, then never mind what I said."
"Ha ha ha ha……"
"Teacher He Shui is still as humorous as ever."
"Putting everything else aside, just based on He Jiong's hosting skills, this variety show is worth watching."
"That's right. I almost didn't come before. I got the ticket in a lucky draw when I bought something at the mall. I thought it was some small workshop. I didn't expect this 'Dragon and Phoenix Splendor' variety show to be so decent. At least I can see Teacher He Shui here, so it was worth coming today."
"I won the ticket in a raffle at the company's annual party. Is this variety show going to be this elaborate?"
...
Normally, He Shui should be reading out the names of advertisers and sponsors at this point.
Even He Shui himself thought so, but looking at the blank cue cards, he felt quite helpless. As a famous host in China, he had hosted no fewer than ten variety shows, and this was the first time he had ever seen this kind of recording method, where the host was not given cue cards and was not told what to record.
Are you kidding me?
Can……
Cannibals are soft and short.
It's because he took the money.
He Shui clicked his tongue, paused for a moment, and then shouted, "Director Yang, if you don't tell me what you're recording soon, it'll be awkward. People who know will think you're recording a variety show, but people who don't will think you're playing a prank on the host."
As he spoke, he flipped the cue cards over and pointed them at the camera. "Everyone, take a look. It's hard to be a host these days. You don't know anything."
This unique hosting style once again brought bursts of laughter to the recording studio.
Sitting in front of the camera, Yang Jianhua couldn't help but laugh. He turned to look at He Qiqi on his right, his expression somewhat bitter. "President He, isn't it about time to reveal the content of the recording?"
Not only was the host unaware of the recording process and content, but even the director himself was unaware of the recording process and content.
He Shui on stage could still offer some criticism, but Yang Jianhua had nowhere to complain, since He Qiqi was standing right next to him.
He Qiqi smiled and glanced at her assistant behind her.
The assistant immediately understood and quickly went on stage to hand a cue card to He Shui.
He Shui breathed a sigh of relief after taking the card, but when she looked closely, her eyes almost popped out of their sockets, and her lips moved involuntarily.
The cameraman was quite adept at handling things, giving He Shui a close-up of her face. Although the audience didn't understand lip reading, some of them were completely self-taught in lip reading.
Seeing He Shui's lip movements, two words popped into everyone's mind.
【Fuck】
Laughter erupted continuously during the recording.
Yang Jianhua, the chief director of the variety show "Dragon and Phoenix Shining Brightly," was full of questions.
What exactly was written on the card?
He Shui, being a top-tier host, only lost her composure for a moment before regaining her composure. She turned to look at the close-up on the big screen and jokingly complained, "Cameraman, why are you so mean? Why did you have to give us a close-up now of all times?"
"Ahem... Let me clarify first, I didn't swear just now."
This blatant attempt to cover up their misdeeds only made everyone laugh once again.
In just a few minutes, several small climaxes occurred on the scene, which shows how strong He Shui's ability to control the situation is.
"Cough cough!"
Once the audience's laughter subsided, He Shui cleared his throat, raised the cue card in his hand, and unconsciously raised his voice a little, "Dear viewers, the contents of this card can only be described as 'explosive'. I doubt you'll believe it when you see it."
His words successfully piqued the audience's interest, and the audience below the stage began to whisper among themselves.
What's on the card?
"Who knows? Even Teacher He just received the cue cards; who knows what's written on them?"
"An explosion? How big of an explosion was it?"
"You wouldn't believe it if you saw it! Is it a rooster laying an egg, a rooster laying an egg?"
...
The music suddenly changed, becoming more upbeat.
He Shui seized the opportunity precisely and announced loudly: "Now I will explain to everyone why this variety show is named Dragon and Phoenix Splendor. This program will invite the official members and prospective members of the Dragon and Phoenix List, a total of twenty people. These twenty people are geniuses who have stood out from more than ten million candidates across the country, and are well-deserved geniuses."
There was an uproar in the audience.
