My wife is in my arms

Chapter 1022 Secrets Part 4

Even though "Special Voice" made a lot of money for the TV station.

In a company, they would be honored guests, but this is a TV station. In this place, ability is only one aspect; seniority and connections matter more.

The immense popularity of "Special Voice" has already proven their capabilities.

However, they are indeed not qualified in terms of experience. The TV station is an established unit with too many old guys. Even if they belong to Director Xie's faction, they still have to know the rules, especially since this incident involved "Special Voice".

This has nothing to do with them.

They even acquiesced to Vice Director Xie's wishes, but despite the facts, they acted differently on the surface. After leaving the conference room, Director Ning and Xu Hanhua did not go straight back, but returned to their office.

Xu Hanwen took out a pack of cigarettes, lit one for Director Ning first, and then lit one for himself with a lighter.

Taking a deep drag, Xu Hanwen cursed, "A bunch of bastards! It's not our fault, yet they're pushing the blame onto us, expecting us to boost the ratings for 'Special Voice' Season 3. They even said that even if it can't surpass Season 2, it should at least be on par with it. It's easy for them to say, but when it comes to paying, they all say it doesn't matter who they hire. Now that they've changed people, this mess has arisen. I really don't understand. The station director is like his mother is sick. His body is in that state, yet he still can't behave. He goes to Yan Xiaohong's house and smears saliva all over her face. And Yan Xiaohong... I've known for a long time that she's a slut, always acting all slutty. Hosting 'Special Voice' Season 3, she slits her skirt all the way up to her thighs. I don't know if she's a host or a prostitute!"

"hehe"

Hearing Xu Hanwen's cursing, Director Ning chuckled twice.

"You can still laugh?!"

Xu Hanwen asked.

"Things have come to this point, there's no use in me wearing a long face every day."

Director Ning flicked his cigarette ash into the ashtray and said, "But you did make a good point. With that kind of body of the station director, he's still not honest. He went to Yan Xiaohong's house and used his saliva to powder her. That bastard really won't behave unless he's hanging on the wall."

The two of them only dared to curse like that in private; they wouldn't dare say it in front of others.

Who knows if it will reach the ears of the old station director? Although the old guy retired due to illness, he still managed to reach the position of station director because his network of connections is incredibly strong.

If things go wrong, they could replace the two of them.

This isn't just talk; it's a fact. Though the tiger is old, its power remains. This incident alone demonstrates this. It's gone viral online, but the person simply took sick leave and went home to rest. Everything else is fine.

On the contrary, Yan Xiaohong not only lost her position as the host of the third season of "Special Voice", but was also reassigned to work as a director in a children's program on the TV station. She never got back on the show. As long as she was on the TV station, she would be criticized. If she was thick-skinned, she would continue to stay. If she wasn't, she would leave soon.

In the last episode, a singer was eliminated, and now the host has to be replaced. The key issue is that this matter has a huge impact. Ever since it was exposed, the TV station has been trying desperately to suppress it, but it's impossible to suppress it.

Both Director Ning and Xu Hanwen were well aware that this was the market that other entertainment companies wanted for "Special Voice".

"Liu Ling agreed, right!?"

Xu Hanwen asked.

"I agreed."

Director Ning said, "There's nothing we can do if he doesn't agree; the situation is beyond our control."

"If he returns to host the third season of 'Special Voices,' I'm afraid..."

Xu Hanwen didn't say what he was going to say directly, but Director Ning understood perfectly well. He nodded and said, "Returning him here wouldn't change anything in this situation."

"How did your talk with Master Xie go?"

Xu Hanwen asked. "At most two hundred million."

In the previous episode, a singer was eliminated. Director Ning saw that the ratings had dropped so much, so he wanted to invite Zhang You back. Therefore, he had a special talk with Director Xie. Director Xie saw the importance of Zhang You, but he could only agree to invite Zhang You with an appearance fee of 200 million. What he said made sense.

Several episodes of the third season of "Special Voice" have already been recorded, which means that Zhang You joined midway through the season, so it's impossible for him to pay the appearance fee he previously proposed.

"..."

I heard it was only 200 million.

Xu Hanwen was stunned for a moment. He exchanged a glance with Director Ning, and the two of them gave a wry smile at the same time.

Let alone 200 million... even if they offered 300 million for the appearance fee, they still might not be able to reach an agreement. It all depends on whether Zhang You will give them that face.

The second season of Special Voices ended in June.

It's August now.

For many people, it was only two months, but Zhang You underwent a dramatic transformation within those two months. The movie "Goodbye Mr. Loser" directly made him a capital tycoon, as well as an investor and a well-known screenwriter.

Personal assets... Zhang You didn't follow the third season of "Special Voice," but that doesn't mean no one was paying attention to him. Director Ning and Xu Hanwen have always been interested in him, so they know very well how much money Zhang You, who owns two-thirds of the investment in "Goodbye Mr. Loser," can make.

The second season was short of money.

The exorbitant price quoted in the third season scared off the production team, but the ratings of the third season proved that regardless of other programs, Zhang You played a crucial role in "Special Voice".

"Should we go and ask them for help?!"

Xu Hanwen tentatively began to speak.

There's no need for that.

Director Ning shook his head and said, "First of all, they couldn't reach an agreement on the appearance fee after the last episode ended, and the fee hasn't increased much this time either. Going there wouldn't be convincing. Besides, his wife, Jiang Yiren, is about to give birth. We can't offer a price that will impress them, and it would also take up his time with his wife. So going there would be a waste of time."

Xu Hanwen took out cigarettes again and lit one for Director Ning and one for himself.

After a long pause, he finally spoke, "Are we just going to stand by and watch 'Special Voice' be completely destroyed?!"

"What can you do?!"

Director Ning countered with a question, saying, "You can't expect people to participate when you're not paying enough. Besides, Zhang You is considered a wealthy man now."

"Only Zhou Jianyu and Luo Lin are truly useless."

Xu Hanwen changed the subject, saying, "I originally thought that Luo Lin, being a former music godfather, must have created many good songs after so many years away from the music scene. But after several episodes, he's just singing other people's songs terribly. Zhou Jianyu is the same; he doesn't have a single original song."

"Not everyone is Zhang You, try to think more positively!"

Director Ning comforted us, saying, "If we keep slacking off like this, the advertisers will definitely be unhappy, and the station will cause trouble for us. But it doesn't matter. Every program has a beginning and an end, sooner or later."

"Are you planning to leave the TV station!?"

Xu Hanwen sensed something different in Ning's words.
