Entertainment: If you asked him to be a star, he'd just want to quit.

"Xiaoying, who were you talking to just now?"

At this moment, a beautiful and charming woman walked over and said to Jiang Ying.

"Oh? Sister Cai, it's nothing, just a senior colleague." Jiang Ying turned around, saw the person, and replied with a smile.

"Okay, come on over, the fruit is cut up." The woman said with a smile. She was Jiang Ying's agent. Although she looked young, she was actually over thirty years old. She just took good care of herself and looked like she was in her twenties.

"it is good."

Lin Yue, with her alluring figure, arrived at the stream and found the man.

The man, dressed casually and wearing a baseball cap, was sitting on a small stool, holding a fishing rod and staring intently at the water.

Hearing the noise, he turned his head to look.

"Hey, it's Xiaoyue."

"Hmm, Brother Jiang, how many fish have you caught?" Lin Yue walked up to him and smiled.

"Hey, just messing around, caught two or three small fish, not even enough to fill a tooth gap." The man smiled slightly, pointing to a small stool next to him, indicating that she could sit down.

Today, Lin Yue wasn't wearing a skirt, but rather a pair of fitted capri pants, which showed off her long, straight, and beautiful legs.

She leaned down and sighed softly.

"What's wrong? You're so young, why are you sighing?"

Jiang Zhenqiang couldn't help but smile when he heard Lin Yue sigh.

"Sometimes I really envy Brother Jiang. He can be so leisurely. We are all struggling for a living, but we often face all kinds of difficulties and setbacks."

"It would be better to be like you, able to get together with friends often, and go fishing in your spare time. That would be so pleasant."

Hearing Lin Yue's words, Jiang Zhenqiang laughed: "You mean I'm too idle and you want to find me something to do?"

"No, I just felt this way. I actually really envy Brother Jiang's lifestyle." Lin Yue covered her mouth and smiled slightly.

"So, how's your response to that program I mentioned to you?" The man changed the subject, getting down to business.

Lin Yue slowly suppressed her ulterior motives and smiled at Jiang Zhenqiang.

“We will agree to what Brother Jiang asked, but I also hope that Brother Jiang can grant me one request.”

Jiang Zhenqiang, intrigued, turned his head and asked the beautiful woman beside him.

"Oh? What's the matter?"

Lin Yue revealed a mysterious smile: "Let me keep this a secret for now, but don't worry, Brother Jiang, I definitely won't make things difficult for you. It's something you can do."

Upon hearing this, the man frowned slightly: "So mysterious? Although I am the producer of this program, I am not the director. If any problems arise during recording, it's not my responsibility."

"Don't worry, my request is good for the show. Don't you trust me?" Lin Yue said with a smile, her tone very sincere.

“Okay, as long as it’s not a matter of principle and doesn’t affect the recording of the show, I might as well agree to your request.” The man laughed. “So, your artist can really create songs quickly on the spot? You can’t just make empty promises.”

Lin Yue, recalling Li Mingxuan's definite answer, smiled and said, "What he said will definitely work."

"Alright, I'm looking forward to it. After all, even Chu Ci admires this young man, so I'd like to see what he's capable of."

"The first episode of the show will be filmed in about a week, but it will be filmed in another city, and in the countryside. I don't know if your two can handle the hardship."

Lin Yue laughed and said, "Don't worry, they are celebrities, so they should be prepared to deal with all kinds of challenges."

"Okay, that's fine. I don't like that kind of submissive attitude."

"Absolutely not."

"Okay, it's settled then. I'll have my assistant give you the specific recording time in advance," Jiang Zhenqiang said with a smile.

"That's great, thank you so much, Brother Jiang. As for the appearance fee, we can discuss it later." Lin Yue stood up and bowed slightly to him in thanks.

"Sure, just don't go too far. We don't have much capital to begin with."

"No, we have to give Aunt Chu face. Besides, what we care about most right now is not the appearance fee, but the platform. Only with opportunities can we talk about money later."

Jiang Zhenqiang laughed and said, "You're quite perceptive, no wonder Chu Ci likes you so much."

"Hehe, ah, Brother Jiang, the fish has taken the bait!" Lin Yue chuckled, then suddenly noticed the float sinking and quickly alerted the man.

Jiang Zhenqiang immediately lifted the rod, bending it so much that it looked like a rather large fish.

"Girl, quick, get the net, this thing is quite big."

"Ah, good, good."

……

The following afternoon, Lin Yue returned to Linjiang City with the program's contract.

While Li Mingxuan and Zhou Chen were both at the studio, she went straight to the tenth floor, found them, and showed them the contract at the stairwell.

"This variety show is a large-scale outdoor reality show. The filming locations are all outdoors, even in the fields, so it will be a bit tough. But the producer is very famous in the industry, named Liang Zhenqiang," Lin Yue said to them as she looked at the contract.

"I don't know much about this either. Just do what you think is suitable for us." Li Mingxuan flipped through the contract a few times and then handed it back to her.

"Yes, me too, we believe in Sister Yue." Zhou Chen didn't pay any more attention to Li Mingxuan's words.

Lin Yue felt happy and touched by their trust, and she nodded vigorously.

"Brother Jiang's assistant has already contacted me. This program will have seven episodes, each episode will take about three days to record, and one episode will be broadcast every week, so it will take about two months."

"It will take more than two months, or even three months, for the studio to be almost complete by then," Li Mingxuan nodded.

"Yes, once the renovation is complete, filling the equipment will be much faster," Lin Yue said. She twisted her waist and looked around, noticing that in just over ten days, the entire studio had already taken shape, and she believed that a brand new look would be visible soon.

"I didn't ask you for too much in terms of appearance fees for this show, because what we need now is platform opportunities and exposure. So Li Mingxuan's fee is 1.5 million, and Zhou Chen's is 1 million per episode, which is quite low."

“Normally, it would cost around two million. The pay for first- and second-tier artists is about five to seven hundred per episode. So our main task now is to get familiar with these producers and directors and build good relationships so that we will have more opportunities in the future.”

Li Mingxuan was somewhat astonished. He knew that being a celebrity was a quick way to make money, but he didn't expect it to be this much. If those superstars made money just by appearing once, wouldn't that be enough for an ordinary person to make a lifetime's worth of money?

Resentment of the rich!

Having experienced the social environments of two different worlds, Li Mingxuan still harbors some resentment towards the rich deep down.

But it seems I'm quickly becoming the kind of person I hate, hehe!
