Serve as Contrast Team in a ‘Dad with Baby’ Show

Chapter 3,Part 2: What Talent? - Just send directly

There was another reason that he didn’t say.

This time, in order to promote a newcomer traffic artist, their entertainment company not only stuffed him into the show as a ‘substitute dad’, but also won him the right to sing the theme song.

According to the information he received, the company has already bought the copyright of that song, and now the lyrics, composition, and arrangement of the theme song were all intended for that ‘little fresh meat’.

The other three teams of stars were dissatisfied, so they asked the companies and studios behind them to put pressure on the program group, to allow them to sing a few lines in the theme song.

Those three other teams fought for maximum exposure, and there was nothing left over for them.

……

Seeing her boyfriend’s resentful face, Xu Jia, who had come over at the same time, showed hesitation, wondering if she should tell Chen Yu about something she had heard.

Today, a top-tier makeup artist in the company had a major event scheduled, so she asked a few of them to help out temporarily. While she was helping the other party with makeup, she accidentally heard the another party chatting with a manager about this matter.

Duan Bei was a newcomer favored by the company recently, and the capital force behind him is very strong. The main reason for him to participate in [Living with Dad] was to create a character setting for him.

In order to make Duan Bei more prominent in the program and get a higher appearance rate, the company has put in a lot of effort.

Inserting Lin Cheng into the program was also one of the company’s plans.

Although the five father-and-baby teams participating in the show are to be recorded separately, viewers will compare the five teams once they are edited together each episode.

The agreement reached between the company and the program team is to use Lin Cheng and his daughter as a ‘contrast team’, and use Lin Cheng’s shortcomings to highlight the strengths of the other groups.

In addition, in order to increase the topic heat and create suspense, the program team may conduct some malicious editing, and it will be Lin Cheng’s team that will be made to bear the brunt of things.

At this moment, Chen Yu’s cell phone rang. It was a call from the program team, informing them that they were about to start recording.

Chen Yu frowned. “You’re advancing it? According to the previous arrangement, isn’t recording supposed to start the day after tomorrow? How could it be brought forward?”

“Due to some changes made with the other team’s schedules, we can only adjust Li Cheng team’s schedule to accommodate.” The program team explained on the phone, paused, and then said firmly, “The recording time is tomorrow morning, and our director team will go over to the selected house to install the equipment around 8 o’clock in the morning. Recording will start at 9 o’clock. They’ll first record the interview portion and the pilot episode footage before leaving for their ‘life’ this week. You should get them ready.”

Once he finished speaking, the person on the other end immediately hung up the phone.

Seeing Chen Yu put down his phone, Wang Xi hurriedly asked, “Brother Chen Yu, what do you mean? You said that the recording time was advanced?”

“When is it advanced to?” Zhou Qi also asked.

“Early tomorrow morning.” Chen Yu wanted to curse now.

Originally, 3 days was not enough time, but now he was told that there was only one night left to prepare—how is it possible for things to be prepared in time?!

The main point was that he had already told Lin Cheng in advance that the start of recording would be the day after tomorrow. According to Lin Cheng’s usual style, if it is the day after tomorrow, he will definitely show up on time the day after tomorrow—but if the time is suddenly moved forward, it is very likely that Chen Yu may not even be able to find Lin Cheng after searching through the entire C city!

Wang Xi and the others were also dumbfounded.

“Tomorrow?!”

“And it’s even in the morning?!”

“How can we have time!”

“A lot of things haven’t been prepared yet!”

Chen Yu rubbed his aching head and looked at the two. “Stop talking nonsense. There is still one night—hurry up and prepare as much as you can.”

“What about Brother Cheng?” Wang Xi asked.

Sure enough, hearing Wang Xi mention Li Cheng’s name, Chen Yu’s mood worsens.

Wang Xi shut his mouth in embarrassment, pulled Zhou Qi away, and each started to work separately.

… …

After a while, Zhou Qi brought another piece of bad news.

“Brother Chen Yu, there is a problem. I called the landlord just now for the house we planned to use for filming the pilot episode. Because the current residents have not left yet, there is no way to hand over the house to us by tomorrow.”

“Then just change to another one. Call and see if another family is willing to move out right away so our team can move in.”

“Okay, I’ll make calls right away.”

……

Half an hour has passed.

Zhou Qi made more than a dozen phone calls and searched more than 20 houses on the internet, but he still couldn’t find a house with a suitable size and location that could be moved in immediately.

“Brother Chen Yu, what should I do? I’ve searched for everything I could, but I really can’t find one,” Zhou Qi said with a mournful face.

“If it’s really not possible, why don’t we go to the hotel to shoot?” Wang Xi suggested.

However, Chen Yu shook his head. “The hotel is too fake. If the sharp-eyed audience finds out that it is a hotel, and a few voices deliberately slander us, it will only be more troublesome for later.”

“Then what should we do now….”

Chen Yu didn’t speak for a time, holding back. After a long time, he finally bit the bullet and said, “Send the child to Lin Cheng’s house directly.”

The three people on the side widened their eyes, “Are you serious?!”

“Otherwise, what else can we do?”

It was also originally planned for Lin Cheng and Lin Momo to spend half a day together, have a meal, exchange ideas, and get to know each other. Now, they can only use tonight, this remaining time, to let the ‘father and daughter’ get to know each other forcibly.
