When Director Li received the call, he was a little surprised. "Qin Chuyu wants to be a guest star? Doesn't he rarely participate in variety shows?"
"Chuyu wants to diversify his career," the agent on the other end said with a smile. "And your show really is popular. If there's a chance to collaborate, it'll be a win-win situation."
Director Li hesitated. "That's true, but the fee..."
"You don't need to worry about Chuyu's compensation, Director Li. Chuyu has never cared about how much money he makes. He only values potential and quality. The same goes for movies, advertisements, and variety shows," the agent said frankly.
But Director Li smiled. "You misunderstood. Any guest star on our show needs to bring investment into the production, so I wanted to discuss how much sponsorship Qin Chuyu plans to pay."
"What?!" The agent cried out in shock. "With Chuyu's status, he has to pay a sponsorship fee to appear on your variety show?!"
Director Li was unconcerned. "Of course. What's strange about that?"
"Didn't Xie Ran pay his own way onto the show? Not to mention Brother Ye—"
"He's one of the main investors!"

"How much?" Qin Chuyu asked through gritted teeth.
"One million," the agent said with difficulty.
Qin Chuyu slammed his hand on the table. "He really has the nerve to ask for that!"
"Director Li said that's the starting price, and he's already giving us a discount," the agent
