Age of Legends

Chapter 55 Opportunity
From the moment he entered the room, Zhang Chen could tell that Yan Mingshu, who was sitting on the second floor of the luxury suite, was obviously of some importance. Her every move and gesture, when everyone was asking Zhang Chen how he got that score, she only paid attention to Zhang Chen for a second or two and then looked away.

Now I know from Gu Zhiyu that Yan Mingshu has some background.

But what did she want to do with him? Zhang Chen just sat beside her. He didn't know whether it was because the air conditioner in the box was turned on very high, or because the material of her dress was thin, but he could always feel the slight warmth coming from her body, which was only a fist away from him.

Zhang Chen was sitting among the women without any shyness, which surprised Yan Mingshu. She took out a clean empty cup and asked Zhang Chen, "Are you drinking beer or a drink?"

"Either is fine." Zhang Chen responded.

She leaned over to get a beer and poured it into Zhang Chen's glass, then picked up the beer in front of her and clinked it with his.

Zhang Chen also took the wine glass and drank it.

She said, "I heard from Wang Shuowei that you were helping his father with the planning of Tomorrow's Star. Do you have a personal acting project?"

It turns out to be this.

Zhang Chen was not surprised at all that she knew about the Star of Tomorrow. Wang Shuowei could tell her about it, and this was probably the real reason why they asked him to come. They also wanted to see him, the dark horse of Yude who had planned the Star of Tomorrow.

Secretary Yan's daughter is a very talented singer and it's obvious that she has practiced singing. And as a girl, she probably also likes this kind of performance, especially since this matter was publicized in Rongcheng in 2000.

Wang Bowen published the program newsletter and registration information in newspapers, and the hot registration in the past two days also attracted some media to interview and report.

Since they are close to Wang Shuowei, they should be able to get more information.

Zhang Chen helped Wang Bowen make this plan based on his status as Yude's dark horse. Yan Mingshu was probably also observing him today.

Zhang Chen also noticed that when Yan Mingshu asked this question, the girls next to them also quieted down and focused their attention on them.

No wonder they chose the second floor, just to make it easier to ask questions and discuss matters.

Zhang Chen said, "There is a personal performing arts project, but because of different resource allocations, the registration fees are also different..."

"I know." Yan Mingshu nodded her swan neck. "This kind of expense is not small. After all, it's for a TV show... But I want it to be meaningful. I'm using my own New Year's money, so yours won't be too expensive..."

Zhang Chen understood. Everyone has a dream of becoming a star, and they were probably covered by his publicity. If it was a formal competition, girls from well-off families like Yan Mingshu might not participate. But if it was a performance signed up for a show, it would be different.

Just like singing in KTV and showing yourself now, being able to have a stage like a TV station for you to show yourself, and having a disc burned for you to commemorate it, and broadcast it during the Spring Festival, it is simply an unforgettable drama for the whole family to reunite. The commemorative significance is much higher.

So they were immediately attracted.

Zhang Chen had discussed with Wang Bowen about reserving such a quota, but this was not written in the brochure. It was only revealed during the consultation that a solo performance would definitely be more expensive, with a higher price, initially ranging from 1999 to 4999, depending on the type. For example, if you are giving a solo speech, it would be cheap. If there is a stage effect, a singing performance, or a solo dance of more than five minutes, the price will be higher.

But this project is just one of the options. Most people who come to the TV station to register will only choose the chorus or recitation program for 199, or the choreography performance for a group of ten people for 599.

Some people have asked about individual registration, and so far only two people have signed up for the individual recitation.

Zhang Chen thought that since they were friends, he could give a preferential price. He made a "1" with one hand and pointed his index finger to the middle of his thumb with the other hand to make a "9".

Then I heard Yan Mingshu say: "19000 per place?"

She thought for a moment and said, "It's not particularly expensive."

Zhang Chen could hear the sound of himself swallowing his saliva, and wondered if all rich girls were so domineering?
The girls from foreign language schools and private schools nearby also carefully considered the situation, looked at each other and exchanged opinions. It seemed that for them, spending 19000 yuan for a chance to be on TV during the Spring Festival was not bad!

Only when they saw that Zhang Chen could actually help the famous host Wang Bowen with these plans did they truly feel the uniqueness of this dark horse Zhang Chen.

But it seems acceptable. Yude High School itself has produced such geniuses. Some went abroad to participate in the World Programming Competition in the first year of high school, some won gold medals in the Olympiad class, and some were directly recruited for undergraduate, master's and doctoral degrees. It seems that Zhang Chen comes from this school, so there is nothing wrong with him.

"Well, 19000 is actually the price for external recruitment, and the internal price is 9999 for you." Zhang Chen said.

"really?"

"Wow, you're so good!"

Yan Mingshu glanced at Zhang Chen and said softly, "Thank you."

Zhang Chen was embarrassed, "After all, it's not easy for you to take your own New Year's money..."

"Okay. Originally I might have received 50,000 yuan in New Year's money this year, so it's considered a saving..." Yan Mingshu looked very happy.

Zhang Chen: “…”

"I'll help you promote it." Yan Mingshu clapped her hands together and smiled, "How long is the registration period?"

"three days left."

"Then I'll sign up before then. Oh, by the way, will the show be broadcast during the Spring Festival? When will it be broadcast?"

"It hasn't been decided yet. We are still seeking opinions. There may be some trouble with the TV station." Zhang Chen stared at her obsidian eyes and said, "From the fourth to the eighth day of the Chinese New Year, which day do you think is better? Which day do your dad...they want to see it?"

Yan Mingshu thought for a moment and said, "How about... the fourth day of the New Year?"

Zhang Chen took a deep breath, looked at the date that Secretary Yan's daughter had spoken, smiled, and nodded, "Then it'll be the evening of the fourth day of the New Year!"

"I found that you are..."

Yan Mingshu put the cup to her lips, took a sip, and glanced at him with her eyeliner on, "Not bad."

……

The TV station sold the entire "Star of Tomorrow" program in its spare time slots, and the audience of the program was actually only the parents who registered their children. The festive atmosphere during the Spring Festival just hit the sweet spot of the audience. It was a family fun, and seeing children on TV was the ultimate embodiment of the hope that their children would become successful.

The TV station gave them a four-hour time slot, but Zhang Chen and Wang Bowen decided not to insert any advertisements during the program. At this time, the advertisements were running crazily. There was no other way. Since the TV station had bought the program, it could only use advertising time to offset the purchase cost.

Zhang Chen and his company are different. This is B2C. Customers pay money and connect directly to the platform. There are no advertisers, except for the title sponsorship and the corporate jury seats inserted in the form of selecting advertising models. Zhang Chen feels that he is simply a conscientious capital.

But don't expect the kind of special effects that will appear in the future, such as turning around and turning around, and then sitting there waiting for the final announcement of the show. This is just an inserted advertisement, not important.

What Zhang Chen didn't expect was that Wang Shuowei's matchmaking actually led him to Yan Mingshu. So it seemed that Wang Bowen, who had been unable to get a good time slot before, finally had the chance...
