“I think it’s not very possible . ”

“Then who do you think C is?”
“Who is W, then? Wu Minzhong?”
“Scratching my head . Even though the pool of people isn’t really big, it seems even harder to guess who they are . ”
The production team of The Performer naturally saw Classic X Files’ publicity too .
Ge Guangzhen frowned and asked, “Have you managed to find out? Exactly who are the mystery guests that Classic X Files invited?”

“No, I haven’t . They are exceptionally good at keeping it secret . Especially since now that it’s the Spring Festival holiday, a majority of the employees have gone back to their homes to celebrate the New Year, leaving behind only a few staff who stay in this city . However, they are all not staff members of Classic X Files . The people in their production team also never leaked any news to their colleagues in the station . Because of their publicity, their colleagues in the other departments were all pretty curious too and specifically went to ask them, but they just refused to say,” Assistant Director Wang said .
Long ago, before the Spring Festival and before Classic X Files started their publicity, Ge Guangzhen had noticed it .
Xing Ke Station and Dong Hua Station were long-time competitors . The Performer was created with the motive of defeating Classic X Files .
Be it Dong Hua Station or Classic X Files, Ge Guangzhen knew them both really well .
Classic X Files started publicity for their third episode two weeks before . That was enough for Ge Guangzhen to pay attention .

He believed that when Classic X Files said that their mystery guests in the third episodes were super heavyweights, it wasn’t an exaggeration or a publicity stunt .
For them to be able to start their publicity so early on, the guests must definitely be extremely surprising .
After all, The Performer was going to premiere on the fifth day of the Chinese New Year, and hence, Classic X Files wanted to battle with The Performer for the viewership ratings . This episode would be really important to them too .
“We’re going to premiere in two days, we really can’t let it go on like this . Let’s make some changes to the guests that are appearing on our first episode,” Assistant Director Wang said .
“We already have Wu Guan and Xu Jingfeng, and after much effort, we managed to convince Jiang Yuhan and Xu Fei,” Assistant Director Wang said .

Wu Guan and Xu Jingfeng were both currently really popular . It was hard to say how many people they could attract on the silver screen, but in the TV industry, their popularity would definitely be in the top ten .
Jiang Yuhan and Xu Fei were both the top in the B-list . They just needed another major television award to rise up to become an list actor . As for this year’s Golden Phoenix Award, both of them were talented candidates for the spot of Best Female Actress .
“Our consulting judges include Best Actor winner Zhang Shuidong, Hu Jingwen who won Best Female Actress at both the Cannes and Venice Film Festivals, and the power couple Director Li Guangshu and his wife, producer Lu Jie,” Assistant Director Wang said . “Classic X Files’s guests for each episode aren’t really considered super big-shot . There are not many from the original cast of the classic films and shows who are list and still active . Some of them have even disappeared from the entertainment industry . All that they rely on is sentiment and memory . Moreover, the two actors whom they have each episode are even less notable; most of them are struggling B-list or C-list actors . The only thing worth watching is the mystery guest in the final round . ”
After listening to Assistant Director Wang’s analysis, Ge Guangzhen also felt that it was strange . Without a really strong guest list, and with the only part worth watching only at the final round, why was this show so popular?
Every round, they would indeed pull strings or spend a lot of money and effort to invite the mystery guest for the final round . Therefore, even if it was only a B-list actor, the guest that they invite would still be really impressive .
There were also some young actors who were the children of really popular stars . Their parents had a lot of connections, so they were also able to invite a really big big-shot .
However, The Performer wasn’t bad at all .
