The anti-fraud bureau needs a promotional video, and you're going to make a "Desperate Gam

Chapter 66, "Director, Please Speak," is officially being recorded! (First update, please continue reading)

Song Hao didn't want to respond to Director Zhang's words, so he just gave a perfunctory reply and found a seat to sit down.

He came here to earn money by appearing on variety shows.

Of course, if anyone makes him unhappy, he will still confront them.

After all, he wasn't that third-rate director anymore.

With his current box office appeal, he doesn't even consider Zhang Chengmou or Chen Kai a threat.

Of course, I will not offend others unless they offend me.

As long as they don't speak ill of him, he's too lazy to commit any crimes.

Shortly after, Wu Tong arrived at the dressing room and said to the directors, "Dear teachers, this is what we're doing. This time, our program will be recorded and broadcast in a semi-live format."

"A semi-live broadcast?" Tang Guorong frowned.

“Yes.” Wu Tong nodded: “The broadcast time is only half an hour later than the recording time to prevent any unexpected situations. This semi-live broadcast method is also to better record the most authentic director variety show effect.”

Upon hearing this, Tang Guorong frowned slightly: "You didn't mention this beforehand, did you?"

Wu Tong explained with a smile: "Since this is the first time that 'Directors, Please Speak' is trying to be without a script, in order to ensure that we can present the most authentic state of the directors when they are making films, the settings and arrangements were only discussed with the directors and guests at the last minute."

Director Zhang remained calm in the face of these requests, nodding and saying, "No problem, just do as our production team says."

After hearing what Wu Tong had said, Tang Guorong couldn't say anything more.

"Our recording is tomorrow night at 8 pm. The four teachers should get some rest tonight. We will be recording live tomorrow," Wu Tong reminded them.

And so, under the arrangement of the staff.

Song Hao and his entourage checked into a five-star hotel.

That evening, Tang Guorong invited Director Zhang and Director Chen to dinner together.

At the dinner table, Director Zhang casually asked, "Hmm? Director Song isn't here?"

Tang Guorong laughed and said, "Director Song seems to be a bit busy, so I didn't call him."

"Indeed, his movie is still showing, so he's quite busy," Chen Kai joked.

Song Hao then left the room, intending to get something to eat.

Just as the door opened, they bumped into Liu Yiquan.

Liu Yiquan was somewhat surprised to see Song Hao: "Hey? Director Song, didn't you go to eat?"

"I was just about to go," Song Hao asked. "Have you eaten?"

Liu Yiquan replied, "I've already eaten. Let me take you to the private room."

"Box?"

"Weren't you eating with Director Tang and Director Zhang?"

Song Hao shook his head.

Liu Yiquan immediately realized what was happening and hurriedly explained awkwardly, "It's alright, I'll take you to eat something delicious! You've come all the way to Hunan Province, you should try the local cuisine, there are plenty of restaurants available everywhere."

Song Hao then realized that he had eaten with those directors.

But he didn't seem to care.

Eating with these artsy young people requires observing etiquette, even just picking up your chopsticks.

That's not his way of life.

After a simple meal, Song Hao returned to his hotel to rest.

Before going to bed, someone tagged him in the group chat.

Wang Chuanjun: [@Song Hao, Director Song, are you in Hunan Province filming a program?]

Song Hao: [Yes, recording starts tomorrow, and it will be a semi-live broadcast.]

Jin Chen: [I saw it. They'd been teasing it on Weibo for a while, and everyone was curious about who the director and guests were. I was thinking the production team was really carefree, they were almost about to record and air, and they still hadn't revealed anything, keeping everyone in suspense. But when they announced it today, it immediately became a trending topic.]

Zhang Yixing: [I heard this is the style of "Directors, Please Speak"—everything is arranged in secret, recorded entirely without a script, just the most authentic director variety show.]

Jin Chen: [Looking forward to your performance! ~]

Song Hao simply laughed it off.

At the same time, Ni Ni also sent a message.

Ni Ni: [Director Song went to record a program?]

Song Hao: [Yes, recording tomorrow.]

Ni Ni: [Do you need any actors? I'm free these days, feel free to contact me if you need anything~]

Song Hao: [You're a hot commodity right now with "The Flowers of War," your fee is ridiculously high, we can't afford to hire you.]

Ni Ni: [Look at what you're saying! I get paid a lot, but I'm still an actress in your movie. Besides, if I'm acting for you, do I need money?]

Song Hao: [True, our big stars don't need my little bit.] Ni Ni: [Anyway, it's agreed, I'll be there anytime you need me.]

Song Hao smiled and simply replied with one word: 【Okay.】

That's the good thing about good actors; they're always there when needed.

No matter when.

However, he also needs to see how tomorrow's recording goes, since this time it's an unscripted recording, and it's also a semi-live broadcast.

No one knew what was going to happen.

"Go to sleep first, we'll talk about tomorrow's problems tomorrow."

Friday.

This day can be said to be the happiest day for everyone.

After all, as long as you get through the daytime, you'll have a two-day weekend.

"Hey Ai, wanna go to the internet cafe tonight for some League of Legends? Let's play URF."

"I'm not going, I'm watching a variety show tonight."

"Huh? You watch variety shows?"

"Tonight there's 'Directors, Please Speak,' which is the first semi-live variety show in China. There's no script or setup; it all depends on the directors' most authentic state. It also features my favorite director, Zhang Guoshi."

"Hahaha, you actually believe that there was no script?"

"Whether you believe it or not, I believe it. After all, Zhang Guoshi is a master in China. Just being able to see how he directs is already a great deal."

“Baby, come out of the house tonight, let’s go to a hotel~ I bought two sexy outfits, I want you to try them on.”

"No, no, I want to see 'Director, Please Speak'."

"What 'Director, Please Speak'?"

“It’s a variety show, and Song Hao, the director who previously made films like ‘All for the Winner’ and ‘The Flowers of War,’ is also participating. I want to watch it.”

The boyfriend looked at the stockings that had just arrived in his hand and gritted his teeth: "Damn it! Another day of holding back!"

The online discussions were equally heated.

The hashtag #DirectorPleaseSpeak# has been trending on social media.

This is the first time a semi-live broadcast has been conducted, and it's safe to say that no one in China has dared to do this before.

Therefore, people are even more curious about this kind of variety show.

Over time.

The recording hall was filled with 400 members of the public jury.

These judges were carefully selected by Hunan TV from over 100,000 online applicants over the past few days.

It covers groups of all ages.

In addition, there are 100 professional directors.

A total of 500 people!
It can be said that this move won the favor of most netizens.

After all, for variety shows aimed at the general public, only those that are considered entertaining by the masses are truly good shows.

At that time, there will be no more talk of behind-the-scenes manipulation or anything like that.

It was 7:30.

Director Wu Tong repeatedly checked the information using a walkie-talkie.

"Check the equipment one more time. Is the host ready?"

He quickly received replies from everyone.

"The public jury is ready."

The host is ready.

"Lights ready."

"Equipment is ready."

Wu Tong looked at the monitor and took a deep breath.

It's worth noting that this program, "Director, Please Speak," was one he had been lobbying his superiors for a long time, and its semi-live recording format was also the first of its kind in China.

If this variety show is successfully recorded, then he will be able to secure a place in the variety show industry!

He turned his attention to Director Zhang and Director Chen, the two most prominent directors on the show. Whether the ratings would explode depended on them.

As for Song Hao, although Wu Tong acknowledges the achievements of his two films, compared to the resumes of directors Zhang and Chen, he can only play a supporting role.

Then, Wu Tong said in a deep voice, "Everyone, get ready! Countdown: ten, nine, eight, three, two, one, the recording of the program will begin!"

"Directors, Please Speak" has officially begun recording!
