Chapter 897: Fight Head-on
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Lu Man slightly raised her eyebrows and said, “It couldn’t be that you’re thinking of going right up against The Perforr, right?”
“Hahahahaha!” Chi Xingrui burst into laughter. “Indeed, you do live up to your na!”
This young lady was really quick-witted.
He had just ntioned the airing date of the show and she was already able to glean so much.
Chi Xingrui also stopped hiding or evading. “Yes. Back when Xing Ke Station designed their show, The Perforr, it was also ant to go up against our show, Classic X Files. Both shows are about discussing and nurturing the current actors’ acting skills. Their choosing to let guests battle over their performances of classic film scenes and scripts is honestly also a way of paying homage to the classics.”
“Xing Ke Station and ours are old rivals. All these years, we at Dong Hua Station have been doing pretty well in the variety shows, and so Xing Ke Station couldn’t sit still either.” Chi Xingrui took a sip of his coffee. “Usually, when we invite guests to join our show, we wouldn’t be on such short notice. We would do so at least one month before. We need to give the artistes ti to plan their schedule.”
Chi Xingrui was being very honest with Lu Man. “I’m not going to lie to you either. This ti, Xing Ke Station has aid straight at our station and wanted to use the viewership ratings at the sa ti slot to attack us, so we definitely won’t be happy about this. Originally, we were honestly really worrying over this. After all, our show has been going on for a while and the audience will definitely be a little tired of it. It definitely wouldn’t be as exciting and fresh as their new show, which could ignite the audience’s curiosity. Yet, who could have expected that The Perforr would go awry and that you would be precisely one of the main stars of this incident?”
“While The Perforr‘s reputation is going downhill now, we have received news that their cast on their first broadcast will be really eye-catching,” Chi Xingrui said.
Lu Man asked in surprise, “According to what I know, the actors who were winners of Best Actor or Best Actress awards have all left the show. Additionally, those old-ti actors who cherish their own reputation also stopped participating in it. How impressive could their cast be?”
She had a list of the cast of The Perforr with her. Da Xiong had given it to her, but it wasn’t entirely complete.
“You are looking only at those with solid acting skills.” Chi Xingrui said with a smile. “But don’t forget, there are still those big-ti popular actors. The Perforr really went all out this ti. This ti, they have pumped serious money to invite Xu Jingfeng. His pay is the highest. Additionally, they have also invited the male and female leads from the two most popular idol dramas right now. As both shows are currently really popular, their popularity haven’t faded yet, and the audience really likes both male leads. Wu Guan even managed to beco an A-list just because of this. No matter how their acting skills are, just based on their popularity, they can attract a huge wave of fans. All these people will be appearing in the first episode.”
“Originally, when The Perforr faced problems, we weren’t too worried about it. But right now, we’re not so sure. Their premiere’s viewership ratings might very likely hit us hard.”
“Therefore, your production team decided to invite ?” Lu Man smiled and shook her head. “But there’s no point getting onboard. I’m at most only a C-lister right now. I do have fans, but my fanbase isn’t large enough. My popularity can’t even compare to those other stars. I can barely compare with B-listers.”
Chi Xingrui never thought that she would be rather humble.
If any typical person were to have Lu Man’s success, it was inevitable for them to feel a little proud and think that they are extrely incredible.
They would think that that they are close to beating a B-lister and can head straight towards the A-list, and if they just worked a little harder, that they could beco an international superstar.
On the internet, Zhang Lun and those other people always talked about how Lu Man always disregarded others, was arrogant and proud, and didn’t clearly know where she actually belonged.
Even though he knew that they were always just hating on Lu Man, he couldn’t help but be a little affected by their words and think that if so many people were talking bad about Lu Man, they must have their own reasons.
