196 The Door Of Convenience
Of course, Lin Zi knew his own artist’s business, or rather its consequences. It was because they did it on purpose. However, it was rare for people to look down on him.
However, He Meng was not a newbie. Hence, after a few words, Lin Zi was defeated. He changed the topic and said, “Then why did you come to drink with me in the middle of the night?”
He Meng nibbled on a duck’s wing and a duck’s palm before she restrained herself and stopped eating. She reluctantly took a piece of tissue paper to wipe her hands. “I was just thinking of enjoying the benefits of a favorable position. Since your Ji Jun is going to participate in this variety show, I was wondering if the production team would show you the name list of the participants in the ranking competition in advance. We can also use this opportunity to benefit from it so that we can know ourselves and the enemy and win every battle.”
Lin Zi pointed at her with his oil-stained finger. “You’re the only smart one.”
The producer, Ou Cheng, had really sent the list to their work group chat. Since the duck goods tasted good, Lin Zi was not stingy and forwarded the list to her.
“It’s also a good thing that your Yu Han can be on the show.” After all, at least Yu Han did not like to cause trouble and would not stick to Ji Jun to create hype.
At this moment, Ji Jun was chatting with Ou Cheng via voice chat. The name list was also on his cell phone.
“The first few people on the list are all people that the company and investors want to protect. If there are no problems on your side, we can decide on them right away.” Of course, if Ji Jun was unwilling, the platform would definitely consider changing people on account of the fact that he had pulled in so many business deals.
“As for the list of candidates, we’ll have to see how the ranking competition goes tomorrow. After all, our ultimate goal is to compete with foreign teams, so we still have to ensure that the team has a certain level of strength.” Otherwise, if they were at the bottom, everyone, including the production team and artists, would sink together.
Ou Cheng probed, “If there are people you don’t want to cooperate with, we can stop them during the ranking competition.”
Ji Jun took a casual glance and did not find anyone particularly annoying. Hence, he did not name anyone and only said casually, “Since you want to play, you have to play well. I remember that Yu Han is quite good at games.”
When Ou Cheng heard this, he knew there must be a reason why Ji Jun only chose Yu Han. Thinking back to the news of Ji Jun saving her, his heart skipped a beat as if he had touched something.
“That’s great. Our production team also hopes to pick a few guests with good standards. If Yu Han plays well, we’ll be overjoyed.” What he meant was that if Yu Han’s standards were good, they could let her join. However, if her skills were too poor, the production team couldn’t help her.
How could Ji Jun not understand what this wily old fox meant? He did not continue the conversation and changed the topic. “How do you plan to deal with that matter online?”
Ou Cheng chuckled from the other end of the phone. “Don’t worry, we’ll settle this matter quickly. I guarantee that it won’t hold you back.”
He Meng did not know that Ji Jun had already secured a guarantee for Yu Han. She spent a packet of duck goods and risked gaining two kilograms of weight to get a list of the ranking competition from Lin Zi. Then, she studied it for half the night and analyzed it with Yu Han the next day with dark circles under her eyes.
“After all, it’s a live-stream event that’s linked to Kangaroo Platform and ‘Free and Easy Wandering’.” “Free and Easy Wandering” was their collaboration game for this eSports variety show. As a large-scale Chinese-style combat game, it was very popular once it was released. It became the most popular game among the young people now and was successfully promoted overseas.
“At first, there were a total of 34 celebrities participating in the ranking competition. However, after the news of Ji Jun participating in the variety show spread, those who were well-informed found connections and stuffed people in. Hence, there are a total of 40 participants now.” Just this lineup alone was already very eye-catching, even if it did not include the later variety shows.
“I’ve analyzed it. There are five people who need to be paid attention to.” He Meng pointed at the names circled on the paper with a red marker pen. “Among them, Han Nuo needs to be paid attention to the most. He used to be a professional eSports player in the local server. Three years ago, he retired because of an injury. Because of his good looks, he was signed by a management company and changed to an actor.”
