Director Gong is a director who is good at accepting advice from others, so after thinking about it, he felt that Xia Zhiyi's words made a lot of sense.
He agreed.
And how to get staff to participate in this competition voluntarily...?
Director Gong: It's simple, there's nothing that a bonus can't solve!
So what was originally just an auction to promote traditional culture and incidentally increase the show's popularity suddenly became tense after the addition of competitive elements.
While the staff were still selecting teams for the contestants, several guests gathered around Qin Yue, calculating whether they had enough funds and points for the next few days.
If we have enough, everyone can focus on preparing their work.
If that's not enough, then we still need to arrange for daily tasks; we can't just sit around and let our savings run out.
To be fair, the ranking will be calculated solely based on the proceeds from the auction.
Therefore, if the guests have sufficient funds and points at this time, they can focus solely on completing the auction tasks.
but...
Qin Yue: " Director Gong said he invited special guests, and we'll be responsible for hosting them. That means they'll be considered our guests, so we should set aside some money for that."
Points can only be used in stores, but money is different.
Wang Chengran suddenly thought of something and raised his hand, saying, "Wait a minute, Teacher Xia received a banner today, which is a form of publicity for the program. It wouldn't be unreasonable for us to ask Director Gong for some reward money, would it?"
Upon hearing this, the group exchanged glances.
Xia Zhiyi smiled, "I think Brother Chengran said makes a lot of sense."
Xue Ranran: "Yes, that makes a lot of sense."
Wang Chengran stood up. "Then I'll go find Director Gong to settle the bill!"
Anyway, he's just an obedient person here; he doesn't have much to offer advice. He might as well go and play a more active role next to Director Gong.
As a result, Director Gong was entangled with Wang Chengran.
Wang Chengran: " Director Gong Director Gong, Director Gong..."
Director Gong would naturally disagree at first, as this would be blatantly aiding the enemy.
But Wang Chengran persistent, chanting like a mantra around Director Gong until Director Gong was dizzy.
The remaining four continued their discussion, glancing at Director Gong every now and then, unable to suppress their laughter.
Qin Yue said, " Wang Chengran has a good personality; Director Gong definitely can't handle him."
Xia Zhiyi: "It depends on how much Director Gong gives me, but this means I won't be able to sell what I made yesterday at the market." Director Gong had already made it clear.
Qin Yue and Xue Ranran had only heard about it from Wang Chengran and hadn't seen it in person yet, so they were quite curious.
Xue Ranran: "Is that stool really that magical?"
Xia Zhiyi: "Yes, you can take a look later."
Qin Yue: "Let's see this afternoon. It's almost noon, and we need to prepare lunch soon."
At this point, Qin Yue said with a hint of helplessness, "I feel like I've been either cooking or on my way to cook since I came here to record this show?"
Xia Zhiyi: "Food is the most important thing for people. We all eat a lot, and unlike in the city where you can just buy food outside at mealtimes, preparing food takes a bit of time."
Xia Zhiyi also helps prepare the dishes when she has free time, which saves her some time.
A little while later, Wang Chengran returned with a smile, holding two hundred-yuan bills. "I'm back! Director Gong gave me two hundred yuan, is that enough?"
Their eyes lit up, and Qin Yue nodded. "That's enough!"
Now, apart from cooking, everyone can focus on preparing for the auction!
On the other side, Fu Chi went to work as usual, busy until 1 p. m., when his assistant reminded him that he needed to eat.
These past few days, he only has time to check on the live stream during mealtimes; sometimes he's out socializing and doesn't even have that much time.
Therefore, most of the information regarding Fu Yunyi's situation was picked out by his assistant in his spare time, which might be of interest to Fu Chi, and sent to his phone, waiting for Fu Chi to check it when he had free time.
" President Fu, Xu Chen Xia Zhiyi and Xia Zhiyi to sign her." The assistant said this during Fu Chi's meal break.
Fu Chi gave a soft "hmm," signaling him to continue.
Assistant: "Judging from the live stream, the young master and Xia Zhiyi have a good relationship, which may be why Xu Chen wants to sign him."
Fu Yunyi's popularity in the industry...
Actually, it's not very good.
Don't be fooled by Fu Yunyi's seemingly good relationships with everyone on the show. That's because Xia Zhiyi gave Fu Yunyi Fu Yunyi significant shock on the very first day, drawing most of his attention to Xia Zhiyi and leaving him no time to notice anything else.
Fu Yunyi is a very honest person in front of those he respects or those who are better than him.
For example, Fu Chi.
Take Xia Zhiyi for example.
But it's hard to say how he'll treat people he considers inferior.
For example, in the film crew where he worked with Zhou Kai, Fu Yunyi hardly interacted with anyone else. Apart from filming, he spent his time either studying the script or hanging out with his friends. He only had casual acquaintances with most of the crew members.
To put it bluntly, he didn't have anyone he respected on set, so he simply stopped associating with them.
The young master's arrogance was clearly seen by the special assistant, who was an observer.
Therefore, it's easy to imagine how popular Fu Yunyi was.
Xia Zhiyi caused several stirs online in just a few days. Even though he is still an ordinary person, after this show, it wouldn't be difficult for him to enter the entertainment industry if he wanted to.
It's perfectly normal for Xu Chen to be interested in him.
After finishing his lunch, Fu Chi opened his live stream. Just then, Xia Zhiyi was picking through a pile of wood. He calmly watched the young man on the screen effortlessly lift a thick log and said, "If you're going to sign, have Xu Chen bring the best contract."
The assistant was somewhat surprised. " Xia Zhiyi?"
Fu Chi nodded slightly.
Assistant: "However, all we know for now is that he's quite skilled. If we're going to sign him, we'll probably have to verify his other qualifications..."
Fu Chi said calmly, "His acting skills aren't bad either."
The assistant was taken aback.
Fu Chi showed no intention of explaining. Seeing that his assistant remained silent, he glanced at him with raised eyelids.
The assistant snapped out of his daze, seemingly gleaning some information from Fu Chi's words. A look of surprise crossed his face, and he quickly bowed his head, saying, "Okay, I will relay what you said truthfully."
Fu Chi turned his gaze back to the boy on the screen, who shone brightly amidst the grayness. His eyes were unconsciously drawn to him and he couldn't look away.
Upon receiving the message relayed by his special assistant, Xu Chen: "..."
Xu Chen: "I understand."
After hanging up the phone, Xu Chen pondered for a moment, then reopened the documents and information he had previously collected about Xia Zhiyi and fell into deep thought.
"Not bad acting?" Xu Chen stroked his chin, his eyes gleaming. " President Fu has never made a mistake in this area. I wonder what he saw this time to say Xia Zhiyi's acting was good?"
