"You don't believe me?"
Ye Yizhou could hear the doubt and suspicion in Director Ji's voice, but said unconcernedly, "Then go give it a try!"
Back to the matter at hand, as the project's sole investor, Ye Yizhou did have a few thoughts about it. For example:
"As for whether the dating show will continue, it can go either way."
And another example: "The investment has already paid for itself and turned a profit. Even if the show flops and falls apart, you won't have to take the blame. We're only halfway through, and you've already received the full production budget. You're still not satisfied? What kind of workhorse are you to love working so much?"
The work was only half done, the project had fallen through, and not only were you not held responsible, but the entire remaining project budget was promptly transferred to you.
Where else would you find a client like that?
"Of course, if you want to keep making the dating show, that's fine too. I definitely won't be participating anymore, Song Jincheng's reputation has collapsed, and there's no need for Jiang Chuyu to keep participating either. In that case, you'll have to find one or two new couples with enough buzz and popularity, or it'll be hard to sustain the show."
Ye Yizhou took a fairly comprehensive view of things. He had plenty of ideas, covered every angle, and gave Director Ji a choice.
Director Ji let out a long sigh. "If you're not participating anymore, then what the hell am I even doing it for?"
There were celebrities with both huge followings and plenty of buzz, but not that many suited the show's positioning.
Without popularity and traffic to back a livestreamed variety show, you would just be entertaining yourself, putting in thankless effort
