“The dialogue under the moon, as pure as a child…” A song that didn't exist in this world emanated from Zhao Hao's phone.
Of course, this was a song Zhao Hao recorded himself on his phone after studying at the B... station's grand class. Although it was very rough, it was Zhao Hao's first song, even if it was copied. But who knew! And wasn't this also a form of cultural transmission in disguise!
“Hello? Who is this, please?” Zhao Hao picked up the phone, looked at the unknown number, answered the call, and asked in a formal tone.
“Hello, may I speak to Mr. Zhao Hao?” A sweet voice came from the other end of the line.
“Hmm, and you are?”
“Hello, we are from the Flower Youth 5 program team. We would like to invite you as a guest to participate in the recording of our Flower Youth 5. Do you have time to come to Shanghai to discuss the specific details?”
“Okay.” When Zhao Hao heard this, although he was overjoyed and even wanted to shout loudly, he tried his best to maintain a stable tone.
“Okay, the address is XXXXXXXXXX. You can call this number when you arrive. We look forward to your arrival!” The girl also breathed a sigh of relief when she heard Zhao Hao's answer.
“Okay, I just happen to be in Shanghai. I'll be there within an hour.” The curve of Zhao Hao's mouth was almost impossible to suppress; it was almost more crooked than Long Aotian's, just a little less than the crooked-mouthed War God! Just a little!
Flower Youth 5 program team office.
Liao Ke stood beside the girl who had been speaking on the phone, watched her hang up, and then asked, “Did he agree?”
“He agreed. He just happens to be in Shanghai and should arrive in about an hour.” Although the girl had more questions than the three thousand questions in Blue Cat's Naughty Three Thousand Questions, years of work experience told her that if a leader didn't want you to know something, no matter how much you asked, it would be useless.
Of course! Unless you were connected! It was clear this girl wasn't connected, so for the sake of her future, she decided it was better not to say too much.
An hour later
Liao Ke finally met the person who made him recall three classic phrases in his office.
After the receptionist led Zhao Hao in, introduced him, and then left, only Zhao Hao and Liao Ke remained in the office.
As for the contract? It was just a simple variety show cooperation contract. After all, Liao Ke was just a director, not the boss of an agency, and he didn't need to sign artists himself. Even if he did sign artists, he wouldn't sign a completely unknown ordinary person like Zhao Hao.
“Hello, Director Liao Ke!” Zhao Hao saw the white light gradually dissipating behind the director's head and knew that this meeting with the chief director was due to the invitation. However, it seemed that this meeting would be its last effect, meaning that to stay in Flower Youth 5, Zhao Hao would have to rely on his own efforts.
“Hello, Zhao Hao!” Liao Ke looked at the handsome Zhao Hao in front of him, and the initial discomfort in his heart also disappeared. He immediately felt that he must have had a problem with his brain before, so he ignored this feeling and shook hands with Zhao Hao, chatting briefly.
Zhao Hao was also very sensible and took his leave at the appropriate time. After all, adults must know their limits, no matter the situation!
Hmm!
No matter the situation!
When he returned to the rented hotel, it was already seven in the evening. Looking at the first official contract he had signed, Zhao Hao couldn't help but smile. After all, this was a stepping stone, a stepping stone to money!
Only delicious food and a little money cannot be let down!
--- Idol Zhao Hao said so
The next day, three in the afternoon
A knock on the door sounded promptly outside. Before Zhao Hao could answer, the sound of the door opening came, and a man with a camera on his head walked into Zhao Hao's room.
A camera was pointed directly at Zhao Hao's face. Although Zhao Hao had seen people with cameras like this on TV and knew that there was no one behind the TV, after all, Flower Youth 5 was prerecorded, not live.
But Zhao Hao still couldn't help but feel a little intimidated at this moment. Perhaps Zhao Hao was a natural performer; he quickly adjusted his mindset, so fast that the cameraman in front of him didn't even notice, but this did not include Liao Ke, the director of Flower Youth 5.
Liao Ke, in front of nine monitors, glanced at the screen belonging to Zhao Hao, his brows involuntarily furrowed, but then slowly relaxed as he watched Zhao Hao's performance.
------
“Hello everyone!” Zhao Hao, who had a complete plan in his mind, now showed the sunny smile he had practiced thousands of times in front of the hotel mirror, waving towards the cameraman's lens.
After greeting, the director next to the cameraman handed a card to Zhao Hao, then waited silently for Zhao Hao to finish reading the card in his hand.
'Welcome, members of the Hua Shao Group!'
'Congratulations on embarking on this season's Flower Youth 5 journey!'
'This season is a study tour spanning three countries. In thirty days, you will complete your study tour!'
'The first country for this study tour is Saudi Arabia. For this, we have specially invited the Saudi Arabian Cultural Attaché ① to open the first lesson of your study tour!'
'Guests, please depart at three o'clock and arrive promptly at the Cultural Office of the Saudi Arabian Embassy in China at four o'clock.'
'Next, transportation expenses will be declared based on distance, with a total of one hundred and ten yuan.'
'Please choose any mode of transportation yourselves.'
After Zhao Hao finished reading the words on the card in a moderate voice, the director next to the cameraman spoke to Zhao Hao: “Since you are the closest person, you are the last to declare. You can declare your amount now.”
“There won't be only one yuan and fifty cents left for me, right!” Although he knew that such an offensive situation would not occur in the Entertainment industry, as a practitioner of the eighteen methods of variety show infighting, the thirty-six strategies of variety show attention-grabbing, and a learner and master of the exaggerated variety show technique, Zhao Hao still delivered a lighthearted, playful remark. Although Zhao Hao wasn't sure if he would get screen time, he still had to do what needed to be done.
Lowering his head and pretending to think for a while, Zhao Hao nodded and made a decision: “I'll declare 0 yuan.”
“A distance of 1.6 kilometers, if I run, it'll only take about ten minutes. I believe it's doable.” As he spoke, Zhao Hao made a slight cheering gesture.
Although this pose might be considered overly cheesy, combined with Zhao Hao's good looks, one could only say it was just right, as evidenced by our beautiful director's flushed face!
