China Entertainment: I just want to give my child a home

Chapter 331: First collaboration with Mango (Please subscribe!)
Just as Wang Changtian expected, several major TV stations really came for Dongcheng’s new variety show "Extreme Challenge".

But because no one knows whether "Extreme Challenge" will not be able to adapt to the local environment in China, the conditions offered are relatively conservative.

In contrast, Chen Dong is more inclined to cooperate with Mango TV, which has the largest traffic, but of course not completely according to the conditions they offer.

For example, Mango TV wanted to sign a three-season contract directly with Dong Cheng, but Chen Dong only agreed to sign a contract for one season.

For example, Mango TV wanted two permanent resident spots, but Chen Dong only agreed to one.

Mango TV also wanted to kick Guang Guang out and have them provide the production team. Chen Dong was even more dissatisfied with this because he didn't want to find himself being sidelined while the show was going on.

Of course, today we have only reached a preliminary consensus on cooperation. For real cooperation, the teams and lawyers of both sides need to implement every detail and sign the contract.

Chen Dong will definitely not do this process personally, and will mainly leave it to Chen Xi, the head of the variety show department, to connect with Mango TV.

After the people from Mango TV left, Chen Dong noticed that Wang Changtian leaned back and seemed to have breathed a sigh of relief.

Then, he met Chen Dong's gaze and said with a wry smile, "I thought you would agree to Mango TV's suggestion and exclude us from the spotlight."

"Oh, why do you think so?"

"Because I know the role of Guangguang in this cooperation, Mango TV can indeed be a substitute, and maybe they will do better."

"Since Director Wang has such a clear understanding, I won't hide it from you."

"All ears."

"Because we are more familiar with each other, and everyone knows that I, Chen Dong, am the most generous to my friends."

Wang Changtian sat up straight, looked at Chen Dong suspiciously and asked, "Isn't it because you wanted me to help you contain Mango?"

"No one is stupid after all!"

Chen Dong secretly complained in his heart but refused to admit it.

Wang Changtian did not continue to ask questions about this issue, because no matter what, without Chen Dong's "strong support", he would not be able to appear on "Extreme Challenge", the variety show that is about to set sail.

As the saying goes, it's the skills that matter, not the heart. Although he didn't say it, he was actually grateful in his heart.

"By the way, Director Chen, it seems that Dongcheng can't afford four permanent guests. Would you like to give me another one? After all, as you know, our Guangguang is a big company with many artists..."

"Why can't you digest it? To be honest, I have already promised two of the four places."

"Oh? Which two?" Wang Changtian asked curiously.

There was nothing to hide, so Chen Dong directly mentioned the names of Huang Lei and Huang Bo.

Speaking of Huang Bo, Chen Dong remembered that he had been negotiating with the people from the TV station since the press conference ended, and he had not had the chance to meet him until now, and he didn't know whether he had left or not.

He quickly went out to take a look...and found Huang Bo telling jokes at his wife's table, making everyone around them laugh.

"What kind of joke did Brother Bo tell that made everyone so happy."

Chen Dong's sudden voice sounded behind Huang Bo, giving him a fright.

"Director Chen, don't you know that scaring others can kill them?"

Chen Dong felt a little wronged. "I didn't mean to scare you. You were probably too focused."

Before Huang Bo could refute, Liu Yifei stood up and asked Chen Dong: "Have you finished talking to the people from the TV station?"

"Well, we're done." Chen Dong nodded slightly to his wife, and then continued to say to Huang Bo: "Brother Bo, you should now know what the big project I mentioned the other day is. How about it, are you interested in joining us and becoming a permanent guest?"

If Chen Dong had asked him this question just now when Chen Xi had introduced the project, Huang Bo felt that he would have agreed without hesitation.

Because he was so moved when he heard it.

Now that he has calmed down, he has more concerns and uneasiness. Chen Dong looked at the expression on Huang Bo's face without getting impatient, and asked again: "Brother Bo, do you have any concerns? You can just say it out."

Huang Bo's behavior was so obvious, what he was actually waiting for was Chen Dong's words.

But he didn't say he couldn't do it, but instead expressed his concerns in a self-deprecating way. "To be honest with Director Chen, I've never done this kind of outdoor variety show seriously, and I'm worried that my appearance will hold me back."

"Haha, don't worry about that, Brother Bo. Don't the regular guests in the variety show have their own roles? For example, who is the funny one, who is the power one, and then Brother Bo can take the role of the one whose appearance is worrying."

"Screw you……"

After the joke, Huang Bo stopped being shy and readily agreed to Chen Dong's request to join "Extreme Challenge" on the spot.

At the same time, I asked who the other five people were.

"There is also Huang Lei, and the other personnel are yet to be determined."

As soon as Chen Dong said this, a third voice immediately rang out on the field: "Director Chen, since we are still short of people, can you do it for me?"

Following the sound, I saw Zuo Xun cracking melon seeds with his ears perked up.

"Brother Xun, Extreme Challenge needs six male guests. Were you dozing off when Chen Xi was introducing them just now?"

"My personality is just like a boy's."

Zuo Xun replied angrily.

But in fact, she was just joining in the fun and had no intention of becoming a permanent guest of "Extreme Challenge". Of course, if she was just a flying guest for one episode, she would be happy to do so.

There were many male celebrities present who heard the conversation between Chen Dong and Huang Bo. They really wanted to be that one-sixth, but they didn't dare to ask for it directly from Zuo Xun.

Huang Lei did not attend the press conference today, but after learning that the big project Chen Dong was talking about was a variety show, he readily agreed over the phone to become one of the six permanent guests.

Many people are eyeing the two remaining places in Chen Dong's hand, but he does not intend to give them to outsiders.

After all, she also has male artists under her label.

Zhang Songwen is the first male artist to join the company. As the saying goes, even if he has no merit, he has worked hard. Chen Dong actually doesn't mind giving him a place.

But the problem is that the other person's personality is not suitable for the variety show route.

So, cross it out.

Zhang Yisan is still studying and Chen Dong doesn't consider him.

Only Zhu Yilong is left.

You can barely give it a try.

But Chen Dong did not make the decision for him directly. Instead, he put the choice in his own hands.

"Director Chen, I...I."

Seeing that Zhu Yilong suppressed the surprise on his face and did not agree immediately, Chen Dong reached out to stop him from answering: "You don't have to answer me right away, go back and think about it carefully, and then give me an answer after you have considered it."

"Yes, thank you Director Chen."

Zhu Yilong knew that this was a good opportunity, but he also knew that being a variety show star was counterproductive to an actor's growth.

That's why he just suppressed his surprise.

'Why do I have a feeling this guy will refuse in the end?'

Chen Dong stared at the door after Zhu Yilong left, and such an intuition flashed through his mind.
