188 Sudden Change in Attitude

Xiang Lei suddenly became famous. Endorsements that he didn’t even dare to think about in the past and scripts and other work rushed towards him. Not only was Xiang Lei a little smug, but even the people in his team were the same, especially when they saw that the people who used to boss them around were now bowing to them.They called him “Teacher Xiang” affectionately, so they were even more smug.

Initially, they did not consider the invitation from the eSports production team. After all, Xiang Lei had received five to six variety show invitations in a row. However, they thought that this was a show on Kangaroo Platform and Xiang Lei’s show became popular on Kangaroo Platform. In addition, Xiang Lei liked to play games, so he agreed to accept this variety show.

Just like the organizers of the previous events, they made all kinds of requests to the production team. They thought that the production team would agree easily like the other organizers on account of Xiang Lei’s value. In the end, they did not expect this production team to be so tactless. They actually dared to negotiate with them.

Hence, the manager was furious and retorted.

Xiang Lei was still a little worried. “What if they really find someone else?”

However, the manager was very confident. “That won’t happen. I’ve already asked around. You’re the first person their casting director contacted, which means that you’re their first choice. So now, they should be the ones who should be anxious, not us.”

At this point, the manager even snorted proudly. “Besides, who is more popular than you now? If the production team gives up on you, it will only be their loss, not ours.”

When Xiang Lei heard this, although he did not agree with his manager’s aggressive work attitude, he agreed with him inwardly. Therefore, he did not stop his manager.

Initially, they thought that the production team would quickly compromise. In the end, after waiting for a few days, there was still no news from the production team. Only then did Xiang Lei start to panic.

He really liked to play games, and many of his fans knew about this. For this reason, he had hyped up his persona as an internet addict for a period of time. If he went on this show, he could enhance this persona again. He might even be able to attract a wave of eSports fans.

After Xiang Lei received the negative news from his manager, he was a little frustrated. “Did their production team stop working? Otherwise, why would their efficiency be so slow?” Would it take so long just to consider a condition?

Ever since Xiang Lei became popular, his manager had been pampering him more and more. Seeing that he was really frustrated, he could only get someone to inquire if something had happened to the production team. In the end, the answer was that all the production team’s work was progressing smoothly.

Hence, Xiang Lei’s manager was puzzled. He could only comfort Xiang Lei. “The production team might want to play a game with us. Let’s see who gives in first.”

Xiang Lei was a little angry. “It’s just a lousy program. Why are they putting on airs?”

However, the variety show that he called a lousy show suddenly announced the news the next day. It had already been promoted to an S+-grade project on the Kangaroo Platform. What’s more, the advertisement for sponsorship had increased from four to eleven. It had obtained a total of about 600 million yuan of sponsorship.

In recent years, because of the proliferation of variety shows and the serious homogeneity, many advertisers had become much more conservative. They were no longer like before, spending tens of millions or hundreds of millions of yuan every minute to advertise on a variety show. Therefore, in the past few years, it was very rare for programs to receive more than 300 million yuan in sponsorship, let alone 600 million yuan.

Not to mention the treatment, just the marketing efforts of this large-scale program would be able to let artists benefit a lot. Once this news spread, it undoubtedly caused a lot of discussion in the industry, and many people were tempted.

On the other hand, Xiang Lei’s team was both happy and worried. They were happy because such a large variety show could not be attended easily. Now that Xiang Lei was the production team’s first choice, they were worried as the production team had yet to give them an accurate answer.

When Xiang Lei heard the news, he flew into a rage in the nanny van. “If you ask me, it’s all because you guys are too troublesome. If you didn’t reject them so forcefully back then, we wouldn’t have to worry now.”

The manager hesitated again and again. Seeing that the production team did not send any further news, he could only lower his head and contact the production team’s casting director, Wang Ping.

Wang Ping raised his eyebrows when he received the call. “Ah, isn’t this Brother Xie? You’re busy. What brings you here?”
