Chapter 27: First Meeting with Director Liu, Finalizing the

d; he had something he needed to do.Being a soldier did make things easier for him, and he never really felt like he belonged to this country or this world.So, he was indifferent to this country and i...Not long after, Ruan Rou and Zhou Hao arrived at the restaurant together. It was a home-style Chinese restaurant located in a small alley.

"Wow! I didn't expect to see you here, Zhou Shao. You must be busy. And this must be your new girlfriend"

The boss, upon seeing Zhou Hao enter, smiled and walked out from behind the cash register. Looking at the pretty young woman walking beside Zhou Hao, he was a little curious and blurted out,

"There's no way! I don't deserve it! This is my friend, Ruan Ran."

Zhou Hao quickly introduced, fearing his boss might misunderstand. In his heart, the young lady was worlds apart from the women he'd previously interacted with for mere convenience. He wouldn't dare disrespect Ruan Rou.

The boss hurriedly apologized: "I, Hu Mou, was blind! Miss Ruan, I'm really sorry. To apologize, from now on, you can eat here at a 20% discount."

Ruan softened didn't stand on ceremony with Boss Hu, smiling and accepting Boss Hu's kindness.

Zhou Hao glanced at the time and said, "Old Hu, don't be stingy. I made an appointment with Uncle Liu today, Director Liu is here, in that private room"

Boss Hu hurriedly reported the room number and led the two people over.

On the way to the private room, Mr. Hu also saw Zhou Hao quietly explaining something to Miss Ruan in front of the soft noodles.

He's not as promiscuous as his boss said, bringing different women over for dinner. He's just putting on a show. He's still very faithful, his tone is sincere, and there's even a hint of pitiful about it.

Now, Mr. Hu felt even more that he couldn't underestimate Ruan Rou. To be friends with someone like Young Zhou was already extraordinary, being favored by Young Zhou... how could he possibly offend such a person

Mr. Hu touched his forehead, feeling a cold sweat even though there was none. He was incredibly grateful for the other party's magnanimity just now.

Mr. Hu then sent the two people to the private room door and left. Although he was curious, he also knew that not everything should be curious about.

Not knowing anything, allows one to live longer. It is precisely because Mr. Hu possesses such transparency and discernment that even though this family-style restaurant isn't particularly high-end, many influential individuals prefer to meet here for business discussions.

Zhou Hao pushed open the door and let Ruan Rou enter the room first. As soon as Ruan Rou came in, she saw Director Liu who was already sitting at the dining table.

"Director Liu, I'm Ruan Ruǎn. It's an honor to meet you!" Ruan Ruǎn immediately stepped forward and politely greeted him with respect.

When Director Liu saw the girl before him, who was even more beautiful and elegant than in the video, his lips, which had been pursed, instantly broke into a smile. He stood up and reached out to gently shake Ruan Soft's hand.

"I finally get to meet Miss Ruan who was all over the hot search a few days ago! Sure enough, she's beautiful and graceful, not at all like what those people online said!"

Zhou Hao also walked over, his tone slightly arrogant.

"Uncle Liu, don't you see who recommended him My eyesight for people is naturally the best!"

Liu glanced at Zhou Hao and said irritably.

"Where do you get the idea that you have good eyes It's clearly another girl who looks good! Don't flatter yourself!"

After finishing, he switched back to his previous, mischievous smile and said to Ruan Soft:

"Please, sit down. Let's order some food and chat while we eat."

Before long, the food was served. Director Liu ate while asking, "I wonder if Miss Ruan has any understanding of our variety show"

“I have a basic understanding. I think what Director Liu wants to create is an immersive reality show. On the surface, it seems like it's about showing the artists' private lives for one week, but actually, it's about digging into their most essential personalities and presenting them to the audience, right”

Director Liu wasn't surprised by what Ruan Rou was saying. After thinking for a moment, he asked again.

"Do you think my program can achieve the effect I expect"

Without hesitation, Ruan softened and directly said, "I think it's 90% impossible."

For a moment, the atmosphere in the private room became rather awkward. Zhou Hao nudged Ruan Soft's arm with his elbow, but Ruan Soft acted as if she hadn't felt it at all, not reacting in the slightest.

Just when Zhou Hao was about to say something to ease the tension, Director Liu suddenly burst into laughter.

"Haha, you said that You're not afraid I'll get angry and won't let you participate"

Ruan softened her expression, appearing calm and collected as if everything was exactly as she expected.

"If you're angry with me because of what I just said, then even if I was mistaken about you, since you can ask me this question, it shows that you yourself feel that the current program mechanism can't achieve the effect you expected, right"

Director Liu nodded, his face, which was still full of smiles, now wore a look of worry.

"Indeed, I've been pondering how to make the changes while ensuring both effectiveness and acceptance from these artists. Ah, Miss Ruan understands my dilemma, perhaps you have some brilliant ideas"

Ruan Ruan had been waiting for Liu Dao's words, because she felt that according to the original mechanism, the damage value inflicted on Lu Weiwei was too small. Since they wanted revenge, it had to be big.

"I do have some ideas, Director Liu. Perhaps you'd like to hear them"

Director Liu put down his chopsticks and nodded.

"Director Liu's original variety show was a taped format, right The biggest issue with taping is that it can be edited. But I also know that if it were to directly switch to live broadcasting, the artists wouldn't agree. After all, maintaining a perfect persona for a whole week is quite difficult."

"So, we can combine live streaming and pre-recorded content. However, Director Liu, you can decide the time for daily live streams randomly without prior notice. Just start it directly. That way, even if the artists want to prepare, they won't have enough time."

As Liu listened, he found the method more and more feasible. He nodded along as he heard.

That's right, why didn't I think of that If full-time streaming isn't feasible, then streaming for one or two hours every day is also an option. It could even build hype and raise audience expectations beforehand.

As expected, a fresh mind is still the best! I guess I'm getting old.

Ruan Ruan saw the play, took a sip of water, and continued.

Of course, if it's only filming one artist for a week, it might be a bit boring. Viewers might be interested at first, but after a few days, they might find it tedious.

"So if we gather all the artists together for three or four days after that, and spend time together, if there are any conflicts, I think it would be more interesting."

Director Liu listened and nodded, finding it reasonable. He had also considered that the later part might become boring and lack content, but hearing this suggestion from Ruan Soft felt a little biased to him.

After all, a few days ago, the matter of Ruan Rou and Lu Wei on the internet caused quite a stir.

Everyone in this circle is a fox, how could they not tell It was Lu Weiwei who stirred up the trouble.

Ruan Ruan probably wants to participate in this program because of Lu Weiwei.

Director Liu looked at Ruan Soft and said, "Miss Ruan, you have a good idea." But his tone and the smile on his face held a deeper meaning.

"Ruan also didn't shy away, continuing to say, “Things online can be a springboard, right It comes with built-in heat!”

"Hahahahahaha! So honest! I like it! I've taken your advice, and I'll let you know the start time of the show separately. What time are you available to sign a contract"

Liu the director likes such honest people. He was originally a singer, but because of his former friend's betrayal behind his back, his voice was damaged.

Although he could still speak normally, he couldn't sing high notes anymore, and his low notes were also lacking. Helplessly, he switched careers to become an actor for a few years.

Later, he became a director. This was his first time preparing for a variety show, of course, hoping the higher the temperature, the better.s eyes, the familiar voice of the system broadcast sounded."Signing in," Ruan Soft said while washing up.Check-in successful, rewarded with 200 points."By the way, what happened to that plagiarism inc...
