The Best Actor Insists On Living With Me!-Chapter 1683 - 1673: Official Announcement (Part 6)

But it’s true, these two are indeed a guarantee for success. On one hand, both of them are top celebrities, and their cooperation creates a chemistry that is greater than the sum of its parts.

With them on the show, the viewership ratings reached three points in the nighttime, peaking at five. Honestly, this kind of viewership rating hasn’t been seen in years. Even online, the show broke two hundred million views in minutes. Currently, one episode has been updated, alongside eight main episodes and eight VIP PLUS episodes; the click rate has exceeded 2.5 billion, and even the number of VIP memberships is increasing, causing the TV station’s stock to rise.

Moreover, these two have always been movie stars. Bo Yan has won two Best Actor awards, Xia Siyu has just won the Best Supporting Actress at Cannes, and both are at the peak of their careers. This is the first time they are shooting a TV series, which will surely attract many viewers.

When Wei Jingjing and Song Fengzhi made their request, they also sent the project proposal to them, which included rough drafts and outlines of the first three episodes.

It’s an original script; there’s no demand for an S+ level production. The production team had previously worked on "Spring Light" and "Sunrise" and participated in Director Yu’s movie filming, making it a professional film-level team. Director Yu will also act as the executive producer, making it relatively trustworthy.

But with the project going up, there definitely needs to be a few days of discussion, yet the filming is about to start, leaving no time for proper negotiation.

Bo Yan and Xia Siyu actually understand this, and Song Fengzhi and Wei Jingjing know this too. They just submitted an intention and specifically stated: "If you’re not satisfied with this project, we can switch to another one. Just sign the cooperation agreement."

In the industry, there are cooperation agreements where the artist and a company sign on for several films without specifying which ones, but they must complete the agreed number within the company. For example, a star signing three films with another company can take outside films, as long as they fulfill the contract’s quota during its term.

This point is indeed feasible. Although their first television show might bring more hype, given their fan base and influence, as long as the content isn’t disappointing, there will still be an audience willing to pay.

However, when collaborating with them, Bo Yan and Xia Siyu need to take the lead. They won’t sign over to a TV station allowing them to randomly select projects; instead, they’ll choose the projects themselves and let the TV station buy them. 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢

But the show director doesn’t have this authority; he can only say: "I need to report to our station director and let him decide."

He’s just involved in variety shows; such projects are beyond his consideration.

In the past, guests tried hard to showcase themselves on shows, so the program team never needed to consider these things. These two, however, turned the tables, openly declaring their desire for money.

Wei Jingjing and Song Fengzhi nodded: "Okay, but there’s only a few days left until the final shoot."

The program director smiles wryly and quickly passes the matter to the station director.

Everyone was busy all night. Xia Siyu thought she would be called early in the morning, but surprisingly, she slept until eleven in the morning.

She woke up after most teams had already left, and she asked Bo Yan if the program team had notified them, and he shook his head.

It’s probably not going to happen, but she didn’t mind. They were just taking advantage of the situation. If it worked out, great; if not, they hadn’t planned on getting money anyway and suffered no loss.

The two took their time freshening up and doing their makeup and then went out for a meal. When they arrived at the restaurant, they realized the director was already there with a few other leaders, who seemed to have hurriedly come overnight.

"How would the two of you like to collaborate?"

Xia Siyu was never afraid, candid and fair: "We are all partners, so it’s about making money together, of course."

The previous intentions had already been conveyed; actual cooperation negotiations didn’t need threats, and Bo Yan naturally continued: "Actually, it’s not just about this show. Siyu and I have always been in films, and our first time acting in a TV series is exciting. As for the team, it’s Director Yu’s team, who have made films before. We are very sincere, and we would like to see what your thoughts are."

The other party was interested in them doing television, but binding it with this show was somewhat odd, as no one in the entertainment circle had done it this way before: "Our idea is, if we can collaborate, we will. But separately, a TV series is a TV series, and a variety show is a variety show; the two cannot be mixed. Moreover, TV series and variety shows are two distinct departments; they cooperate but are not subordinate. Binding one with the other is unprecedented."

Xia Siyu and Bo Yan were not disappointed; indeed, their request was somewhat difficult. And although they are influential, the program team is not sure how much impact they can truly have.

"Oh, in that case, we can discuss it later, one issue at a time." Naturally, there wouldn’t be any unexpected surprises.

Hoping for a surprise? Sorry, "active duty" doesn’t require a surprise.

The production team found it amusing: "Since you came over, you’ve already been together, right? Not just us, the outside world has been saying for one or two years. There’s no surprise anymore, so is there anything noteworthy?"

Bo Yan wasn’t bothered at all: "You should check the bullet screen, look at the comments, you should know better than us where your program’s viewership points are. I can responsibly say that Siyu and I didn’t spend much did not buy ghostwriters; these are real audience data. Even though the show has two days left, it won’t air for more than a month, so you still have plenty of time to consider it. Besides, Siyu and I are not worried about having no partners,"
