“Besides, this is such a long program. If they’re capable, lucky and stay for a long time, they can‘t possibly avoid talking the entire time, right? As the saying goes, meeting enemies opens old wounds. Will they be able to hold back, after staying with an enemy for a long time? Even if they can’t go overboard
due to the cameras present, there will at least be negative undertones in their conversations with each other, right?” Tan Mo raised her eyebrows, “In an industry of people with such complicated hearts and minds, those who manage to persevere and stay are all experts at innuendos.”
Everyone was quiet.
‘Tan Mo’s idea… was savage.
But… it would definitely be amazing to watch!
“They will be able to view the artistes’ private lives, and even female artistes’ bare faces and skincare routines. They’ll also be able to observe the innuendos between artistes, and their explosive conflicts…” Just the thought of it gave Shi Shulei goosebumps.
“If the ratings are good, we might even be able to do a full-day live broadcast. We’ll broadcast directly to the audience what the artistes are doing,” Tan Mo added.
Everyone was speechless.
Too ruthless, it was too ruthless!
‘There was no hope for Singing Voice, no way it could win against them!
“Did you take all of that down?” Shi Shulei asked Liu Jingfu.
“Yes, I did. After this meeting ends, our planning team will hold another meeting. We’ll churn out the revised plan this afternoon,” Liu Jingfu answered. “We will submit the new plan tomorrow morning at the latest.”
This meant that they would have to sacrifice their lunch time again, and even have to work overtime that night.
But after hearing Tan Mo’s ideas, overtime felt like nothing to them!
They were all highly motivated.
‘They just had to quickly draw up that ruthless plan.
Everyone knew that once the variety show was broadcast, it would definitely crush Singing Voice.
What was a singing variety show that kept to a script like Singing Voice!
Look at their show. They had conflict, they had reality, they had competition.
They had everything an audience wanted to see!
This was the most ruthless variety show in history!
Shi Shulei had now witnessed Tan Mo’s ability twice. In his heart, he was thinking that he definitely could not let such a talented person go.
If he could pull the future lady boss over to his team, it would truly be killing several birds with one stone!
With Tan Mo’s ability, it was a given that she would be able to help them come up with good ideas. But as the future lady boss, they would definitely benefit from her smoothening their paths.
‘And they were now more familiar with Tan Mo, because they already had experience working with her.
‘Who knows, someone might leave a deep impression on Tan Mo.
“Teacher Tan,” Shi Shulei called out again.
“Don’t call me Teacher Tan anymore,” Tan Mo had already wanted to say this earlier, ‘Just call me by name.”
“All right,” Shi Shulei readily agreed.
Because he could see that Tan Mo was sincere about it. She was not pretending to be modest or simply being polite.
“Everyone can just call me that,” Tan Mo spoke again, “I don’t deserve to be called Teacher or anything like that. Also, it sounds weird.”
Everyone nodded to express that they understood.
Shi Shulei continued, “Tan Mo, do you want to officially join our team? I’m not requesting that you become an employee. I know you’re very busy with school as well. Just for the show I Sing, why don’t you take charge?”
‘Tan Mo was stunned for a moment. In her heart, she thought that Shi Shulei was really good at going with the flow!
However, she had to admit that Shi Shulei had a very good eye for talent.
They had only met twice, and he could already tell that she had extraordinary ability.
‘It’s like this. I definitely won’t have the time to work here on a daily basis. Besides, all I can offer are some ideas. I won’t be able to do anything more professional,” Tan Mo explained. “How about this? If there is something you really need me for, give me a call any time. I have some experiments to do at
school but fortunately, I’m a final year student and don’t have many classes left. So whenever you need me, I can come over any time.”
‘Just treat me as a freelancer,” Tan Mo said with a smile.
‘When Shi Shulei suggested the idea, he did not bear much hope.
But hearing Tan Mo say that she could help out any time really surprised him.
“In that case, I’ll report this to President Xu and welll discuss your remuneration,” Shi Shulei said. “Although you can’t be an official employee, I can’t let you come all the way and work for nothing.”
“There’s no need for that. I’m just here to help. I probably won’t be able to come more than a few days a week, and have to leave immediately after meetings. So I won’t be spending much time here. How can I accept payment?” Tan Mo said. “Besides, if the show is done well and becomes popular, my second
brother will only benefit from it, no matter how long he lasts in the show. The more popular the show, the greater the benefit for my second brother. That will be the best reward for me.”
‘Two of the workers looked at Tan Mo with envious expressions.
They each had a younger sister as their only family.
But why didnt they have a younger sister who wholeheartedly cared for her brother just like Tan Mo!
Tan Mo discussed a few more details with everyone, then left the rest to Shi Shulei and his team.
As Tan Mo was about to leave, she was stopped by Xu Dashi.
“Theard that you came today, so I came over to talk to you directly,” Xu Dashi said after finding Tan Mo. ‘We’ve already discussed with Donghua Station. Broken Continent has been sold to them as the exclusive broadcaster. As it’s not the first broadcast, it was only sold for 150 million.”
Tan Mo was stunned.
As a second-generation heir, she was not someone who had yet to see the world.
In addition, she often heard Wei Zhigian speak on the phone, and frequently heard figures being mentioned.
However, hearing Xu Dashi use the word “only’ made her raise her eyebrows.
He actually used the word ‘only’.
“However, we also used Broken Continent as a bargaining chip to get Donghua Station to work with us on I Sing, We will take full charge of production, and Donghua Station will only be responsible for providing the broadcasting platform.’ Xu Dashi smiled, “Actually, if it hadn’t been used as a bargaining chip
for I Sing, Broken Continent would have been sold for even higher.”
“It doesn’t matter. Broken Continent has already had one broadcast run online. These extra takings are already an unexpected gain,” Tan Mo did not mind. ‘What’s important now is the new program, I Sing. If we do it well, Kefeng Films will have another ace program.”
Moreover, at least for the next few years, there was no need to worry about the program going downhill.
But Tan Mo did not say this out loud.
In case Xu Dashi doubted her, if she did say it out loud.
Xu Dashi filled her in on the details, as it was more convenient for Tan Mo to relay the news when she went back. Only then did they go their separate ways.
After Tan Mo left Kefeng Films, she relayed the news regarding Broken Continent to Tan Jingi.
Thereafter, she updated Tan Jingi and Tan Jinsheng on the progress of I Sing.
“Now that Broken Continent is confirmed to be broadcast on Donghua Station, I Sing will probably start filming as soon as possible..”
