Chapter 596: That

Xu Tian:...

That kind of possibility wouldn't exist.

Nie Jingjing's Hoodie Male God didn't exist at all.

"Mr. Xu, I don't care, I won't go squeeze into a public dressing room with those temporary actors." Nie Jingjing saw Xu Tian not speaking and acted like a spoiled child. "If photos are taken and posted on Weibo, I'll definitely be mocked by the whole internet!"

She pinched her throat and imitated the tone of the hate fans.

"Nie Jingjing must have flopped to the bottom of the earth, actually squeezing into a dressing room with extras..."

"This old woman who is looking for trouble should retire from the circle quickly."

Qin Yuqing & Murong Xue:...

Sure enough, Nie Jingjing really had a talent for being a comedian.

"Nie Jingjing, stop making a scene." Xu Tian raised his hand to check the time and said to her and Murong Xue, "Neither of you needs to go to the public dressing room. The recording will start in half an hour. Even if you go over, you probably won't be able to finish your makeup."

"Then we..." Nie Jingjing was interrupted by Xu Tian as soon as she opened her mouth.

"You don't need to do makeup. Just go straight on stage to record the show in a while."

"What?" The three women around were all a bit surprised.

"With your looks, even without makeup, you're enough to kill the other guests on the scene." Xu Tian didn't know much about makeup tables, but at least he could distinguish the difference between base makeup and color makeup.

Nie Jingjing and Murong Xue didn't come to record the show completely bare-faced, but had put on the most basic base makeup.

Murong Xue had a pure look; not having heavy stage makeup actually made her features stand out more.

As for Nie Jingjing's heavy-featured look, even without makeup, her well-defined features were enough to hold up to the high-definition cameras that were extremely strict about appearance.

"Mr. Xu, are you saying that you think I look better without makeup?" Nie Jingjing's focus went completely off-track. She felt she had been praised by Xu Tian and was very happy.

"You look good, so there's no need to put on more." Xu Tian echoed. "You and Xiao Xue go rest on the side for a while. The recording will officially start in a bit."

"Alright, then I'll listen to Mr. Xu." Nie Jingjing stopped worrying about the dressing room, took out her phone, and started scrolling through Weibo on the sofa nearby.

Qin Yuqing looked at Xu Tian with admiration: "Xu Ge, you're really amazing!"

"Amazing?" Xu Tian was puzzled.

"Yeah." Qin Yuqing nodded heavily. "Before I came to our company, I heard a lot of rumors, all saying that Sister Jingjing she..."

"All saying she has a bad temper and is hard to deal with, right?" Xu Tian said.

"Yeah, the rumors are indeed like that." Originally, Qin Yuqing was worried that since she was new, she would be targeted, but after she actually started working, she found there was no need to worry at all.

Nie Jingjing was indeed hard to deal with, but she wouldn't just lose her temper at the staff for no reason.

Or rather, she was more like a mirror; the attitude she used to treat you depended entirely on how you treated her.

However, in terms of work, Nie Jingjing would occasionally still have some diva temper, but as long as Xu Tian was there, he could make this young lady compromise at the fastest speed.

"So, as an agent, you can't let rumors and gossip affect your judgment." Xu Tian said to Qin Yuqing calmly. "What kind of personality your artist actually has, and what method is most effective to manage her, all need you to explore slowly. A good agent needs to complement the artist, rather than just treating them as a commodity. Although most people in society can be priced in the eyes of capital, if you and your artist want to go further and be popular longer in the entertainment industry, the first step is to fully understand your artist."

"I understand, Xu Ge, I will work hard!" Qin Yuqing nodded with great instruction, and then added, "I am very grateful to you for giving me this opportunity. I won't let you down."

Xu Tian said: "It's not to let yourself down."

Qin Yuqing was slightly startled, then showed a bright smile: "Understood!"

Half an hour passed quickly, and the recording officially began.

But this variety show was recorded in batches, and Song Jiamao, who occupied the largest lounge, was the first to be invited out like stars holding up the moon.

During the recording process, Song Jiamao frequently NG'd, and it took a full three hours to complete the recording.

After her part ended, the program team arranged for other artists to go on stage.

Another hour passed before a staff member came to call Nie Jingjing and Murong Xue over.

After they went on stage, they only answered a few questions before being told the recording was over.

Qin Yuqing, who had watched the whole process from the side, was dumbfounded. She never expected that a satellite TV program team would be so perfunctory when recording a show.

"Zhang Zhipian, this recording time is too short. Will the broadcast duration be enough?" She suppressed her anger and tried to communicate with the program team.

However, Zhang Zhipian, who was busy fawning over Song Jiamao, didn't even look at Qin Yuqing, but said impatiently: "The material is enough, and this is something for the program team to worry about. It's not your turn to ask."

"But the recorded part is different from the outline you gave us beforehand. Many questions weren't asked, and the time for the individual parts isn't enough."

"You also said it was an outline. Of course, the recording should be based on the scene. And this time Song Jiamao is the main guest. Isn't it natural to give her more screen time?"

"This is different from what you said before!" Qin Yuqing was angry. She wasn't someone who hadn't watched this show; there was no distinction between main and secondary guests at all. And even if they weren't main guests, only Nie Jingjing and Murong Xue's parts were the most perfunctory. This was clearly targeting them.

"Adjustments will be made appropriately when recording the show. Of course, it can't be exactly the same as agreed beforehand." Zhang Zhipian's tone became more and more impatient. "Song Jiamao's popularity is booming now. I can't cut her parts, can I? Our show also needs ratings!"

"You..." Qin Yuqing still wanted to argue with Zhang Zhipian, but was stopped by Xu Tian.

"Let's go, there's another interview later."

Zhang Zhipian's attitude was already very clear. Even if they continued to stay here, it would just be a waste of time. The program team would not give Nie Jingjing and Murong Xue any more footage.

"But they were only on stage for a few minutes, and the topics they asked were all nutritionless. After the post-production editing, I'm afraid it won't even be ten minutes..." Qin Yuqing was indignant. "They are bullying people too much!"

"You'll get used to it," Xu Tian said indifferently.

Xu Tian had long anticipated the current situation; Zhang Zhipian was definitely acting under instructions from Giant Star Media to suppress them.

Given Yan Hongyu's personality, the final cut would likely not even be ten minutes long, and it was even highly probable that they would be "edited out entirely."

They were currently in the promotional period and still needed to build momentum for Nie Jingjing's new album and the upcoming launch of "All People's Singer-Songwriter," so they really had no time to bicker with the production team.
