Shanghai Entertainment TV .
A group of employees had come to Cloud Street to investigate the surrounding environment .
"This place is not bad . A newly-constructed commercial street . The environment is good . For this week's show's location, we can choose here," said an employee .
The person-in-charge of the programme, Hu Xing, nodded in agreement . "It's not bad indeed . Is the person in charge of this place here yet?"
"Leader Hu, we've already called the person beforehand . He should be here soon," said an employee .
Hu Xing nodded and said, "Mmm, 'Celebrity Family' has pretty good viewer ratings and this place is newly constructed . The outcome of the filming should be good . When the person-in-charge reaches, we'll negotiate with him to temporarily rent these shops . "
The show, 'Celebrity Family' involved a group of celebrities being given a fixed sum of money and then completing various tasks with it . This kind of show was a rather new and trendy form of variety show . It received high ratings . This season, they decided to film it here .
"Leader Hu, the person-in-charge who we contacted is here," said one of the employees .
Hu Xing looked afar, then walked up with a smile . "Chief Huang…"
When Huang Bin saw the visitor, he smiled and said, "You must be Leader Hu . "
"Right," replied Hu Xing with a nod .
Huang Bin had never crossed paths with someone involved in variety shows before . When he received the call, he had been startled and started laughing . To have a variety show come to his place was not bad at all, especially when it was 'Celebrity Family' . Then, he came down to Cloud Street personally to discuss this matter .
Huang Bin said, "I wonder what Leader Hu is looking for me for . "
Leader Hu smiled . "Chief Huang, we are prepared to shoot a season of our show in this place . Since we want to use this place and you're the boss here, I want to invite you and the business owners to discuss whether or not you could let us use it for a day . "
Huang Bin said, "That's not a problem at all . Our shop owners here are all very friendly . If you have any requests, you can discuss it with them . They will surely be willing to compromise . After all, having celebrities come here is a good thing to them as well . "
Leader Hu waved his hand and said, "Chief Huang, that's not what I meant . What I meant is for them to rent the shops to us for a day for our people to come here and act as the shop owners . After all, this is a show . Without professional actors, I'm afraid they won't be competent enough . "
"Oh, so that's how it is…" Huang Bin was a little uncertain . Then, he looked at Leader Hu and said, "It absolutely has to be this place?"
Leader Hu nodded . "Yep, we've already decided . We will film it here . We've already seen all the other commercial districts in Shanghai and not one of them is more suitable than here . "
Huang Bin thought for a moment, then said, "Alright, I'll refer you to a person . If he agrees, then there won't be any problems . "
Leader Hu was taken aback . "His words mean more than yours?"
Huang Bin laughed, "Of course . Don't underestimate him . His words are more powerful than mine . As long as he agrees, I can guarantee you that all the other shop owners will agree . They'll even cooperate with you obediently . "
Leader Hu was surprised . "He's so good?"
"Of course he's good . Let me bring you all there . But you have to remember to watch your tone . Even if the discussion doesn't go smoothly, don't say any rude things and don't cause any conflict," said Huang Bin .
Leader Hu laughed and said, "Chief Huang is a good man indeed . Don't worry, we are all professionals . Even if the discussion doesn't go smoothly, we won't quarrel . "
Huang Bin chuckled and didn't say much . He wasn't afraid for Master Lin, he was afraid for the production crew . All the shop owners here were very courteous towards Master Lin and they were all very united . If something were to happen and each of the shop owners spat once at the production crew, it would be enough to drown them in spit .
After sending off Leader Song, Lin Fan just lay there leisurely . These days were hard to pass . There were too leisurely . When someone doesn't lack anything in life, he or she suddenly loses all motivation .
After much thought, Lin Fan decided that Arena of Valor was more fun after all . It was not only a good way to pass time but also to strengthen or make new friendships .
With Lin Fan as the leader, the four of them formed a team . Wu Tian He didn't know how to play, so he passed .
Fraud Tian said, "I'm going in, you guys follow up . Ah f*ck, where are you guys? Why are you still jungling?"
Zhao Zhong Yang said, "I was jungling all along . Why did you go in so quickly?"
Lin Fan said, "Be quiet, stay calm . We can win this . Your motive must be good . This is a game of pushing, don't just keep thinking of killing people . "
Wu You Lan said, "If we don't slay the dragon while we have the advantage and it gets stolen, we'll be finished . "
Their teammate said, "Are you all f*cking stupid? Do you even know how to play this game? If not, then switch off the phone . "
. . .
The shop was buzzing with activity . Just one game had the four of them fully immersed .
"Master Lin…" Huang Bin brought the people into the shop .
Lin Fan looked up and instantly smiled . Then, he put his phone down and said to everyone, "That's enough, let's switch off our phones . Let that guy play by himself . "
Their teammate in the game was playing happily when he suddenly realized that all his teammates had stopped moving . Then, he sent out messages in a frenzy . But suddenly, a terrifying thing happened . Zhao Xin left the game . Di Renjie left the game . Lady Zhen left the game . Monkey left the game . . .
"F*ck your moms! I'm going to report all of you…"
…
Huang Bin laughed, "Master Lin, what are you doing?"
Lin Fan waved his hand . "Just playing a game . Why are you here today, Chief Huang?"
Huang Bin referred to the people behind him and said, "They're here to find you for something so I brought them here . "
Lin Fan looked at the people behind and he didn't recognize them . Still, he said with a smile, "Come, please sit down . "
Wu You Lan went to prepare the tea .
After the new shop renovation, they had a resting area .
"Nice to meet you, Master Lin . I'm the person-in-charge of Shanghai Entertainment TV's 'Celebrity Family', Hu Xing . I only realized when I saw this shop that you're the Internet's raved-about Master Lin!" said Hu Xing with a smile .
Lin Gan said, "You flatter me . May I ask what is it that Leader Hu is finding me for?"
Hu Xing nodded and explained, "The situation is as such . I suppose you know about our show 'Celebrity Family'? Right now, we're in the third season and the location we've chosen is your Cloud Street . Hence, I initially wanted to ask Chief Huang for help so we can discuss with all the shop owners . However, Chief Huang said that you're the one in charge here and that as long as you agree, then the rest will be simple . Therefore, I'm here now in hopes of coming to an agreement with you, Master Lin . "
"Haha," Master Lin laughed and looked at Huang Bin . "Chief Huang is too courteous . I am but a tenant . You can tell me more about this matter first . I think there shouldn't be any problems . If there is, I will bring them up . And if you can accept my suggestions, then this matter will be settled . "
Leader Hu smiled and said, "Alright, alright . This is how it is . We want to rent this place for a day for filming the show . The important part is that we've put into consideration that the shop owners here are not entertainment professionals, so I want to replace them with our own people . Of course, we will compensate for this . "
Lin Fan thought for a moment and replied, "I've seen a bit of this show of yours . Let me give a suggestion . I think you shouldn't ask your people to replace the shop owners . Let the shop owners do it . Those people of yours may be actors but honestly, they surely won't be as realistic as the actual shop owners . In fact, I can guarantee that all the shop owners here are very friendly and will definitely cooperate with your work . If you agree on this, then it is settled . "
Huang Bin, who was sitting at the side, had never thought that Master Lin was so good at speaking . Moreover, those words he spoke were very reasonable .
Leader Hu thought for a moment and felt that that was fine as well . "Alright then . I will take this into proper consideration . This shouldn't be much of a problem . As for the matter of compensation, we can discuss it . "
Lin Fan laughed waved his hand, "Compensation? There's no need for compensation . This kind of thing is good for Cloud Street but you have to do a special feature for our Cloud Street and ask those celebrities to do an advertisement for us . For example, they can say a line during the show like 'Cloud Street is awesome!' or 'The people of Cloud Street are so kind!' or 'Cloud Street's products look really nice!' and that would be fine . I think, to Leader Hu, all these are small matters and if you agree, I'll be able to cooperate properly with you all . I'll make sure you all finish filming happily . How's that?"
Huang Bin couldn't help but start laughing in his heart . Master Lin was trying to force an advertisement .
According to his knowledge, the advertisements in this show were sold to outsiders for millions .
When Leader Hu heard Master Lin's words, he was stunned . It wasn't a ridiculous request, but he felt that something wasn't right . However, he couldn't quite figure out what wasn't right .
