As the director of Orange Station's reality show "Challenge It," Song Yuhua, adhering to the principle of not going viral but also not making mistakes, had always produced variety shows by the book. Although some viewers always complained that the show was formulaic and lacked novelty, a loyal fanbase had been silently supporting it for years.
He had actually opposed the decision to invite Xia Wei Liang this time.
This female star's transformations were too dramatic. Although it was Cheng Ge and Sister Hua who proposed inviting her, and the station had agreed, he hadn't said anything verbally, but he had remained displeased.
The show officially began recording. The first half was standard, without merit or fault. By the time Xia Wei Liang appeared, it was close to evening, and the audience was already a bit tired.
When the host introduced Xia Wei Liang, there were only sparse claps from the audience, and they reluctantly clapped a few times only after the staff took the lead in stirring up enthusiasm.
Given Xia Wei Liang's current reputation, it was good enough that no one booed her.
However, to everyone's surprise, this girl seemed as if she was born on this stage. Not only did she interact well with the three...
Rui Rui scratched his hair, looking at Xia Wei Liang with some concern.
Although he knew her reputation was bad, and that almost no one in the industry collaborated with her, with her work also on hold, he had truly come to like this "sister" through this brief stage collaboration!
Xia Wei Liang, however, remained composed, smiling slightly. "Hello, Director Song."
"Mm."
Song Yuhua adjusted his glasses. He was not eloquent, especially when it came to beautiful actresses.
He furrowed his brows, and after a long silence, he said, "There's a short-term..."
"I'm willing!"
Before he could finish, Xia Wei Liang said with a light laugh, looking at him.
Director Song was stunned. "Uh, it's better to clarify things beforehand..."
"I trust Director Song."
The young girl opposite him smiled sweetly, appearing utterly guileless. "I trust Director Song, I trust Cheng Ge, I trust Sister Hua, and Rui Rui..."
Everyone stared at her, naturally unaware of how important they were in Xia Wei Liang's heart.
They simply thought that the young girl had suffered too much recently, and any little bit of kindness shown to her made her overwhelmed with gratitude.
Thus, Cheng Ge, who had the softest heart, sighed first and looked at Director Song. "That's enough. If you need to sign, then sign."
Sister Hua also said, "Yes, it's rare for this child to cooperate with us so harmoniously. Other matters are none of our business."
Rui Rui nodded enthusiastically. "Mm, mm, mm! With sister here, I finally don't feel like a talking piece of wood!" Su Dan Novel Network
Fearing that Director Song would refuse, he went over and tugged at his arm. "Brother..."
Song Yuhua shivered and quickly pulled his arm away, then looked at Xia Wei Liang. "Three episodes, depending on the results."
"Mm!"
Xia Wei Liang finally smiled happily and bowed to him before he left. "Thank you."
Director Song frowned. He didn't say anything, but he still felt a bit awkward.
According to rumors, Xia Wei Liang was just a brainless beauty, prone to diva behavior on set, arrogant towards staff, and constantly embroiled in scandals...
But the young girl in front of them was stunningly fresh and clean, with an open and honest gaze, and treated people with sincerity.
If all this was an act, then how much calculation would it take! With such cunning, why would she have brought herself to this point?
Rumors are easily spread. Having been in this industry for so many years, how could he not understand that?
Therefore, regardless of her intentions, after the recording ended, he proactively found the station manager and secured three fixed guest spots for her.
He could only hope the young girl would seize this opportunity.
Xia Wei Liang did not disappoint. Over the next few episodes, she created one topic after another, and her Weibo popularity soared. What was originally a standard reality show was trending towards becoming a hit thanks to her!
Many netizens went to watch "Challenge It" with the intention of finding fault with Xia Wei Liang, only to get hooked once they watched. Their hateful comments turned into neutral observations, and neutral observers became fans. Xia Wei Liang's reputation also significantly improved.
Orange Station was overjoyed and quickly urged Director Song to offer her a one-year contract!
What Xia Wei Liang didn't expect was that in this lifetime, not only Orange Station, but also video platforms like Ye Shi and An Shi, extended olive branches to her.
Even satellite TVs didn't care if she was a risk artist; why should they, mere video platforms, worry?
Orange Station immediately became anxious and invited Cheng Ge and Sister Hua to persuade her.
Upon hearing that Xia Wei Liang had never wavered from her original intentions and that Orange Station had given her the opportunity, she would repay it with all her effort.
This greatly moved the station's leaders. To show their emphasis on Xia Wei Liang and also to officially clear her name, they organized a small signing ceremony. Besides several leaders and the entire production staff, a mysterious guest was also quietly invited...
