Chapter 197
You know, it's great to have a reliable agent - Ji Ruochu received a few variety shows in her inbox, and each one has something interesting about it.
Take the variety show that Ji Ruochu is interested in, for example. Although it's an observational program and not a brand new first season show, you can tell there's something intriguing about the guest list.
There are five guests in total, and besides Ji Ruochu, the other four, while not all from the industry, are familiar faces.
"Strawberry Channel?" Ling Chujin seemed a bit surprised. "Who's the director?"
The couple exchanged a glance.
"Let me ask," Ji Mochen said, taking out his phone to message Brother Qin, the agent.
Ding.
A few seconds later, Brother Qin's reply came through.
"Oh, it's not the same director."
"That's interesting then, how did they come up with the idea of inviting the five kids from 'Dad Is Home' to film this?"
Indeed, the five guests invited to 'Children's Independent Living' were the same five kids who had participated in 'Dad Is Home' with Ji Ruochu.
"Brother Qin said that last season of 'Children's Independent Living' invited a few kids who had been on 'Dad Is Home' before. Although they weren't from the same season, it still capitalized on the nostalgia factor and caused a small spike in ratings for Strawberry Channel's variety shows."
As a result, there were increasing calls for the production team to invite Ji Ruochu and others to participate in 'Children's Independent Living'. After all, when it came to popularity, Ji Mochen's five families from back then were still number one.
Add to that Ji Ruochu's recent variety show 'Brain Battle' going insanely viral, and it was only natural for the production team to have this idea. In fact, Strawberry Channel had previously shown signs of wanting to invite Ji Ruochu onto a dating reality show, but unfortunately, Ji Ruochu had zero interest in dating - especially if it meant spending time on a dating show.
She was busy with her coursework, running projects with her supervisor, studying, and acting. She could barely split herself into three parts to handle it all, so she naturally declined.
That's why the collaboration with Strawberry Channel had been delayed until now.
"Should we just confirm this one then?" Ji Ruochu asked.
"Yes," the couple replied in unison.
As long as their daughter was happy, it was fine. Of course, they still needed to confirm with her that she wouldn't actually move out on her own after filming this show.
After finalizing the schedule, Ji Ruochu continued screening scripts, as she still hadn't met her KPI for film and TV works this year.
She had initially promised at least one project per year.
Originally, she was supposed to join a production team in the next two months, but then she noticed her parents' somewhat apprehensive looks and changed her mind.
She could take some time off to film this variety show with them, then act in another project afterwards - huh? This script?
Seeing the familiar title of the script, Ji Ruochu was momentarily dazed.
After glancing at the cast and director, Ji Ruochu nodded.
It seems they've invested heavily in this. As for the public pressure that will come later...
Well, she didn't feel any pressure at all.
With that thought, Ji Ruochu sent the title to Brother Qin, asking him to coordinate the filming schedule.
...
At Ji's Studio.
Brother Qin had just hung up the phone when he saw Ji Ruochu's message.
At a single glance, Brother Qin felt lightheaded.
Good grief, the Ji family's little troublemaker really didn't fear anything and loved causing a stir.
He had deliberately put that script towards the back, hoping she would overlook it, but...
There was no choice but to follow the little troublemaker's wishes.
Three days later, the crew from the production team arrived as scheduled.
