Chapter 188

The eyes of the few people present all lit up, especially Xiang Xiang Xiang Zhiming, who stood up straight away.

"Good!"

"No wonder you wanted to collaborate with CCTV!"

"A variety show like this is best suited for CCTV!"

Huh? Everyone, including Su Meng, was stunned.

Su Meng, in particular, was completely bewildered.

I chose CCTV because the platform is big enough and our relationship is good.

How did you come up with a different interpretation?

Xiang Xiang Xiang Zhiming, looking excited, gripped Su Meng's hand tightly.

"Director Su, you are a great man! You are a person with grand sentiments!"

No, what the hell is going on? How did I become a great man with grand sentiments?

Xiang Xiang Xiang Zhiming left him aside and turned to speak to Duan Duan Jiangping and Sister Qin.

"President Duan, Sister Qin, although I haven't seen the specific proposal yet."

"But based on the few words Director Su just said, I can be certain of one thing: strength comes first!"

Duan Duan Jiangping and Sister Qin thought about it carefully and nodded in agreement.

Su Meng was not surprised that he could see this.

After all, this is someone capable of directing the Spring Festival Gala; he wouldn't lack even this much insight.

Xiang Xiang Xiang Zhiming stood up and paced back and forth in the office excitedly.

He kept muttering to himself.

"In today's Chinese entertainment industry, traffic reigns supreme, and one can dominate just by having a face."

Su Meng couldn't help but stiffen, feeling as if he were talking about him.

"If this trend in the entertainment industry continues, the damage to the next generation will be immense!"

"Director Su also saw this, which is why he is using this method to select a group of talented singers."

"Letting everyone realize that you don't need to rely on your face; you can still stand out with talent!"

"To put it broadly, the emergence of more talented singers will significantly squeeze the market for traffic idols and return the Chinese music scene to normal!"

"Director Su appears to be making a variety show, but in reality, he is using his own strength to purify the entire entertainment industry!"

"Director Su, knowing this is difficult, remains steadfast! You truly have grand sentiments!"

"As the mouthpiece, how could we at CCTV not follow up on such a cause of setting things right?!"

"I bet the station leaders will definitely give their full support!"

Duan Duan Jiangping and Sister Qin looked at the calm Su Meng, feeling as if he were radiating a holy light.

Such a great person doing such a great thing, and yet I only thought about money?

What a vulgar person! Utterly vulgar!

Actually, what they didn't know was that Su Meng's expression wasn't calm; it should be called numb.

I just wanted to make a variety show to earn some pocket money; how did it become purifying the entertainment industry?

Am I that great? Do I even know it myself?

As expected of a director who has thrived within the system; this level of height... tsk tsk tsk...

However, since he misunderstood, Su Meng naturally wouldn't expose him.

"I'm ashamed, I'm ashamed; I'm just doing something insignificant."

"Also, there is one more point: if this show is done well, the quality will be very high."

"Coupled with CCTV's endorsement, a group of contestants will inevitably stand out and debut with their own halo."

"This is a big piece of fat meat; who wouldn't covet it?"

"If some capital intervenes..."

"Director Su, don't worry!" Xiang Xiang Xiang Zhiming patted his chest with a thud.

"When CCTV handles things, you can rest assured. There will never be any shady dealings; everything will be based on strength!"

Su Meng nodded, but immediately thought of another matter, and his expression turned serious.

"Old Xiang, there is one thing I need to clarify."

"This is just a variety show; please don't attach too much political significance to it."

"Otherwise, if you bring in a few judges from within the system... they might be professional, but the audience won't be interested."

"So we must invite superstars from the pop music scene to expand the project's influence."

"No problem!" Xiang Xiang Xiang Zhiming nodded fiercely.

"I will suggest to the leaders that we handle this according to market rules... Oh, by the way, Director Su, what is your budget?"

Su Meng chuckled and said lightly.

"Last time we filmed 'Drawing Sword', we took out 100 million."

"But we only spent 30 million, and there's 70 million left, which is just right!"

Huh? That works too?

Several people were stunned.

Xiang Xiang Xiang Zhiming was even stunned for a moment before admiringly giving a thumbs up.

"Director Su's way of doing things is truly watertight; I admire you, I admire you!"

"In that case, Director Su, do you have any suggestions for the mentors?"

Su Meng thought about the practices from his past life and said slowly.

"There are four mentors, and we need to consider the diversity of musical styles."

"Invite one from Taiwan, one from Hong Kong, and the other two from the mainland."

Whoa? Xiang Xiang Xiang Zhiming's eyes widened immediately.

This idea is simply fantastic!

Su Meng continued.

"We can consider the specific candidates slowly."

"But I suggest inviting Brother Huan... oh, Teacher Liu Huan."

"His popularity, influence, and professionalism are all sufficient, and as for the others..."

Before he could finish his sentence, the little assistant pushed the door open and rushed in.

Her chubby little face was flushed with excitement, and she shouted while dancing with joy.

"Brother Su! It's bad! No, it's too good!"

"The Billboard Music Chart in the Lighthouse Country, last week's champion is Sister Bai Bai Xiaoling!"

What?

Several people stood up abruptly, staring at her tightly, almost unable to believe their ears.

The flush on the little assistant's face grew even deeper.

"Not just the Lighthouse Country, but also the UK pop music chart, Sister Bai Bai Xiaoling is also the champion!"

"And the Maple Leaf Country, Germany, Gaul Country..."

"Sweeping! Sister Bai Bai Xiaoling swept the European and American music scene!"

At this moment on the internet, 'Drawing Sword' had already occupied the headlines of all social media.

Everyone was discussing everything about 'Drawing Sword'.

This TV series, which seemed to have no traffic stars, had actually suppressed all other TV series of the same period.

Pulling up the viewership ratings chart, countless people were surprised to find.

The one ranked first was naturally 'Drawing Sword'.

But the one ranked second... was actually 'Drawing Sword' too!

The viewership ratings for the rebroadcast had actually beaten all other TV series!

Oh, it can't be said there was no traffic, after all, the protagonist was still a traffic boss named Su Meng.

And there was another one, the newly appeared Xiuqin, who was actually played by Bai Bai Bai Xiaoling!

Just at this moment, Xinghai Entertainment's Weibo suddenly posted a message.
