Chapter 8: The Show Starts(1/2)

"If you need help, just tell your dad directly. Little girl, you don't have to be so strong. Everyone in your family is for your own good, so you don't have to worry about certain things."

Sui Anli smiled, how could she not understand? She just saw many things very clearly.

"Dad, I know everything, you don't have to worry about me."

She knows best what kind of character her father is, and it is not easy for her to say such soft words.

Ms. An felt relieved when she saw that the atmosphere between the father and daughter had eased.

I was nagging a lot with my daughter again. If Sui Anli hadn't said that she had to work overtime at work, I really don't know when I would have stopped.

Xiao Zhan is indeed quite capable. After failing at the film viewing party, he was still able to squeeze into the column group of "Late Night Snack Restaurant". This ability has to be admired.

Du Han didn't have his scheming and methods, so he couldn't save face and surrendered, but was squeezed out in the end.

Sui Anli didn't react much. After all, work was work and she would not bring personal grudges into it.

As for Jiang Mingli, he now only wants to make Maochuan Economics and Television prosperous, and he will 100% support any conditions proposed by Sui Anli.

With the concerted efforts of the entire column team, the program was finally officially launched.

A lot of publicity was done in the early stage, and the topic of Xue Qiusheng's comeback attracted the attention of many netizens.

[Real or false? Will we see actor Xue come back in our lifetime? Could it be a gimmick by the show crew?]

[Isn't this "Late Night Snack Shop" just a cooking show? It's really cool to have actor Xue.]

[Xue Qiusheng is just a gay fool, why is he running around again? Does this mean he has no money to support a man?]

There are fans of Xue Qiusheng who are looking forward to his reappearance, and of course there are also black fans who wantonly insult him on the Internet.

Many media even reported this matter and wanted to get an exclusive interview with Xue Qiusheng.

Xue Qiusheng is extremely low-key. He almost never leaves home and makes no response. He patiently waits for the right time.

But no matter what the Internet said, the show came as scheduled.

Although it is a variety show at 10 o'clock on Sunday night, the hype generated by the promotion is still very powerful.

The ratings of the show increased steadily as soon as it started. Sui Anli did not stay at the TV station that night. She went home alone.

I was sitting on the sofa, drinking milk, watching the show and reading various comments on the Internet.

[This is not like a variety show, it is just like a movie. I, the actor Xue, am so charming. The man who cooks is the most handsome!]

[I really want to eat the food cooked by the actor~]

[This Xiumin is so disgusting. She hooked up with a man right after her lover died, and kicked out office workers as soon as she had money. What kind of outlook are these?]

[Should I say it or not, the actress who played Xiumin is a real talent. How come she wasn’t famous before?]

Sui Anli raised his chin and looked at the various comments, the corners of his mouth unconsciously raised. It was a good start, and the topic was discussed enough.

After being busy for so long, Sui Anli can finally sleep peacefully.

Sui Anli fell asleep with a heavy heart, but Jiang Mingli couldn't sleep no matter what.

Seeing the rave reviews of the show, he rarely had insomnia and called before dawn to inquire about the ratings.

Deputy Director Shen on the other end of the phone also didn't sleep all night. He said excitedly:

"Director, the ratings have exceeded 2. The final score last night was 2.14. Our ratings are among the top ten in the country."

Jiang Mingli asked excitedly: "Old Shen, are you telling the truth? You didn't lie to me, did you?"

Deputy Director Shen completely understood his mood and said with a smile:

"Why did I lie to you? If you don't believe me, come and see for yourself. You are really on the right track this time."

It was inevitable that "Late Night Eatery" would become popular, but no one expected that the first episode would reach the top ten in ratings.

The happiest people are the members of the column team.

As soon as Sui Anli arrived at the office, he received warm congratulations from his colleagues.

Sister Lan rushed over and grabbed her arm excitedly, shouting:

"Director Sui, our ratings are in the top ten, you are really amazing."

Sui Anli's hair was messed up when she pulled her, and he said with a smile and crooked eyes:

"Sister Lan, I understand. Don't get excited and calm down first. This is the credit of all of us."

Xiao Zhan looked at the smile on Sui Anli's face and realized for the first time that she was so beautiful.

He expected that "Late Night Diner" would be a hit, but he didn't expect that the ratings would rank among the top ten in the country. He simply couldn't imagine such results.

This is only the result of the first issue. He also participated in the filming later, so he naturally knows that the content is not worse than the first issue at all, and there will only be more outstanding results in the future.

No matter what the reason was, he should make friends with Sui Anli, so he stepped forward generously and said:

"Congratulations to Director Sui, our ratings will definitely increase in the future. Shouldn't we hold a celebration banquet first?"

Sister Lan said teasingly:

"Assistant Director Xiao is really generous. Before, he argued with Director Sui like a black-eyed chicken. Now is he trying to flatter us?"

Xiao Zhan said without any anger:

"There is nothing wrong with competing when the opportunity comes. Now that I have seen Director Sui's ability, it is also wise to want to follow her and learn from her. We are all adults. Of course, those who understand current affairs are distinguished."

He was calm. Sui Anli felt that if Xiao Zhan lived in troubled times, he might really be a hero, but this had nothing to do with her.

She said calmly: "Just work hard. Our program has just begun. We will face a lot of pressure in the future."

Everyone nodded in agreement. It was indeed rare for a young girl like Sui Anli to be so unfazed by trouble.

Sui Anli turned around and saw He Fan standing aside with his arms folded, smiling in a good mood.

She asked with a smile: "How is Actor Xue? Are you still used to being at the center of public opinion?"

He Fan nodded and said honestly:

"He is in good condition now, and his previous agent has come back to see him. He may get other jobs in the future."

Sui Anli was very happy for Actor Xue, "Take your time, no matter what the media says, you should ignore it."

He Fan had gratitude in his eyes, he nodded and said seriously:

"We have looked away now. Public opinion cannot hurt us. Thank you for giving Qiusheng this opportunity. I will treat you to dinner when you are free."

Sui Anli smiled and agreed, "That's a good relationship. Movie Emperor Xue never gets tired of his food."

Just as she was about to say something, she heard Jiang Mingli shout loudly:

"Xiao Sui, are you free now? I have something to talk to you about."

Sui Anli shook his head, "I'm fine now, we can talk."

She said hello to He Fan and then followed Jiang Mingli to the office.

As soon as the two entered Jiang Mingli's office, Jiang Mingli poured her a glass of water with a smile.

"Our program ranks among the top ten in terms of ratings, do you know that?"

Sui Anli nodded, "I heard what my colleagues said."

Jiang Mingli said with a face full of ambition:

"Our first program was ranked in the top ten. Do you have the confidence to push the ranking even higher with subsequent programs?"

Although Sui Anli was confident in her program, she did not dare to say it all. She said cautiously:

"The first program was brought about by the popularity of Actor Xue. We will not have actors of Actor Xue's level in the future."

The smile on Jiang Mingli's face faltered, and he said seriously:

"You mean, this first episode is the best result?"

Sui Anli shook his head and said honestly: "Not really, the first episode attracted a group of viewers. As long as the content is good enough, the results should not be too bad. But the ratings depend half on strength and half on luck.

"

What he said was true. Jiang Mingli frowned and said:

"We finally achieved such good results, and we must maintain them in the future."

He didn't dare say that he rushed forward. Seeing Sui Anli's calm face, he continued:

"The actors we hired are indeed not very famous. What do you think? How about we invite more popular actors later?"

Sui Anli asked doubtfully: "Do we in Taiwan have that much money to hire people?"

Really not. Maochuan TV is not well-known and doesn’t even earn much from advertising fees. How can it have so much money to hire big stars?

"We can hire one or two, it's better than all the extras."

Jiang Mingli was still a little unwilling to give up, he really didn't want to miss this opportunity.

Sui Anli shook his head, "The cost is too high. The director might as well be more open-minded. Although the actors I selected are not well-known, they are all good at acting. Don't worry."

Jiang Mingli had no choice but to nod. Their TV station was too poor, so they could only resign themselves to fate.

On the other side, after Lin Sangsang finished filming "Late Night Eatery", she ran to the film and television base non-stop.
