Chapter 84 - Losing Your Reputation
Chapter 84: Losing Your Reputation
Yang Fangping actually invited such a person to participate in the show. Is he trying to ruin it?
“Yang, did you run out of money after hiring the top movie star and his son? Is that why you hired a useless person like Su Shengjing?”
When Yang Fangping heard this voice, he immediately paused the video. He humphed and said, “It’s none of your business who I invite on the show!”
This man was called Li Yang, and he was also a producer. He was a few years younger than Yang Fangping but had already produced a few popular programs. Hence, the director of the television station was very pleased with him. When Yang Fangping had been negotiating with the director in the office the other day, Li Yang was there as well. His words were similarly dripping with sarcasm back then.
Although Yang Fangping did not want to respond to him, Li Yang persistently commented. “In my opinion, even before your show officially airs, you’ll become the subject of harsh criticisms. Be careful! The television station might instruct you to stop filming the show.”
Yang Fangping unhappily rebuked, “Do you think that people will assume you’re mute if you don’t speak?”
Li Yang chuckled. “Tsk! Yang, sometimes, one has to take into account their age. You’ve done so many shows, but none of them were popular. Isn’t that a waste of the television station’s funds? Why don’t you give your resources to me and come work for me instead? I’ll let you produce an incredibly popular show.”
Yang Fangping scoffed. Give him my resources and work for him?
He’s blatantly looking down on me!
I’ve been working here for such a long time, yet I have to bear the brunt of his sarcasm. D*mn it!
“Why? Are you unwilling? Yang, it’s not that I think little of your abilities. Well, my show is going to be broadcasted at the same time as yours. When the time comes, don’t blame me for stealing your viewership ratings. Don’t forget what you told the director. If the viewership ratings are not good, not only will you have to compensate him, but you’ll also have to leave the television station.”
Looking at Li Yang’s proud expression, Yang Fangping gritted his teeth and asked in defiance, “How can you be sure that my show will definitely fail?”
“Isn’t it obvious? Most of the viewers are young. Who would be willing to watch a man babysit? They can see a bunch of kids running around in their neighborhoods. They see those kids every day, so what’s so special about it? My outdoor reality show is different. That’s what young people like to watch. Do you know how popular the first episode is?”
Yang Fangping was speechless.
Li Yang’s show was called “You Can Do It, Mate!”. It consisted of a few young, handsome, and pretty celebrities playing outdoor games together. The show was interesting and thrilling. It occasionally integrated some elements of mystery and terror. After the first episode was broadcasted, it became very popular and became the hottest variety show of the year.
Li Yang continued, “In the second episode, I’ve managed to invite Qin Feng. He’s like a huge charismatic magnet, attracting fans everywhere. Our official Weibo account published the guest list a few days ago, and the post already has more than a million comments. Did you know that?”
Yang Fangping fell silent.
Li Yang actually managed to invite Qin Feng…
Qin Feng was the most popular male celebrity. He was not only extremely handsome but also skilled in singing and dancing. His follower count was more than even the top movie star, Han Xiao. It had reached a terrifying figure of fifty million…
Yang Fangping suddenly recalled that Qin Feng had debuted at the same time as Su Shengjing.
Back then, Su Shengjing had been in the limelight and completely outshone Qin Feng. If nothing had happened to him, it would have been impossible for Qin Feng to replace him.
“That’s why, Yang, the only thing I can hope for is that your show’s viewership rating won’t be too horrible. Otherwise, you won’t be able to protect your reputation anymore and leave with dignity, right?”
After saying that, Li Yang patted Yang Fangping’s shoulder and arrogantly left.
The editors at the side became furious. “Director Yang, he’s going too far!”
Yang Fangping did not say anything. He returned his gaze to the computer screen and clicked on the introductory video again. As he stared at Su Shengjing and his daughter, he fell in a daze.
This time, I’ve staked everything I have on this.
Su Shengjing, Little Jiu, you must work hard!
