Chapter 187: The Exiled Li Mingyu

Social media was so developed that the distance between artiste and audience was getting closer and closer. The target audience were the viewers after all.

Their feedback affected the viewership ratings, which determined the success or failure of the program or even the television drama.

Although it was not aired yet, and had just started filming, it was important to get the viewers’ perception and prediction of the season.

The confidentiality measures were quite outstanding. After all, they could not reveal the content of the program in advance.

The audience for the third season of ‘Flower Boys’ had basically stabilized. From among them, 100 audience members were selected to gather opinions.

Of course, there were also many internal professionals involved in the evaluation.

This work had started at the planning stage. Now that the filming had only progressed to the third day, the feedback was very valuable.

Chu Zhengfei flipped through a few sets of feedback and casually placed them aside before lying down on her side.

She had to adjust the time difference while filming. She was really exhausted.

“You dictate it to me. I’ll read it in detail later,” she said.

Her assistant was her right-hand man and could be considered one of her own.

She began to tell Chu Zhengfei the feedback.

“Director, the situation doesn’t look too good,” the assistant said.

Chu Zhengfei sat up instinctively and lay down again. “What’s not looking good?”

The assistant organized his words and said, “There are two main aspects. The first is the concept of exile. Although it’s creative, the prerequisite is that it has to be unleashed. Lee Mingyu’s variety sense is average. There doesn’t seem to be anything interesting about traveling alone. The audience will feel a little depressed and boring. They can only see him gritting his teeth and persevering. The audience is not used to the loneliness of a member. It’s equivalent to not unleashing the idea of exile. Instead, it highlights its drawbacks.”

Chu Zhengfei paused. “Continue.”

The assistant thought for a moment and continued, “Secondly, there doesn’t seem to be any chemistry in the overall guest selection. There’s not enough topic. Although Gong Wanqing was invited, her performance in the plot doesn’t have any topic.”

The assistant paused for a moment and smiled. “Of course, there’s also the highlight of the entire show—the celebrities tearing each other apart. Although this has a negative impact, the key is that it’s real. Especially when celebrities tear each other apart, it makes the audience feel excited. However, we’ve weakened this point this season. There’s also the travel industry. Overall, it looks more like a tourist show. It lacks the unique style and three-dimensional attraction of the first two seasons.”

Chu Zhengfei listened to the instructions. “Although Gong Wanqing has a lot of topics to talk about, the male guests are not a problem. Among the female guests, other than her, only Nie Ruying is about the same age as her. It’s impossible for her to quarrel with the other two. Those two are too young. Nie Ruying is straightforward. Even if she deliberately creates a conflict, it won’t seem natural.”

Chu Zhengfei did not speak, but the assistant said, “Basically, that’s all.”

Chu Zhengfei smiled. “That’s enough. Don’t ask for more.”

The assistant said helplessly, “Yes, I think so too. Director, have you already taken these feedback into account when you designed the plot of Season 3?”

Chu Zhengfei frowned and replied, “I just think that we need to make some changes in the third season. Considering the reputation and ratings of the first two seasons, we should reduce the negative content. Moreover, General Orange doesn’t want to see arguments or complicated interpersonal relationships.”

The assistant retorted, “But Director, in the face of Chief’s request, we also need to ensure our success. Otherwise, if we blindly consider censorship, the audience will be disappointed if the ratings are not good in the end. Then we might as well not produce this show.”

Chu Zhengfei glared at her assistant. “Can you not rain on my parade and give some constructive suggestions?”

The assistant smiled and said, “I’m just an assistant. You’re the executive director. Shouldn’t you consider this?”

Chu Zhengfei glared at her helplessly and then stood up lazily. “Alright, go and do your assistant’s job. Tell Lee Mingyu’s filming team that Chen Che will visit. But hide it from Lee Mingyu first and give him a surprise.”

At the mention of Chen Che, Chu Zhengfei smiled. “I reckon that once Chen Che goes, not only will Lee Mingyu not feel lonely, but he will also be more lively than the other seven.”

The assistant also smiled, but her expression suddenly became serious.

Chu Zhengfei took a look and noticed her expression. “What’s wrong?”

The assistant pondered for a moment, and a glint flashed across his eyes. “Director, the problem just now… Don’t you think that Chen Che’s previous performance seems to be able to be resolved?”

Chu Zhengfei asked curiously, “What do you think?”

The assistant moved over and sat down. “Director, first of all, he’s already done very well in terms of variety show performance and humor. Moreover, he has an advantage in mobilizing the atmosphere and organizational coordination. More importantly, his and Gong Wanqing’s team can perform endlessly.”

Chu Zhengfei pondered in surprise, then frowned right on the heels of it. “But boys and girls are attacking each other…”

The assistant added on, “The two of them have already argued before. Do you find it difficult to accept? Instead, it’s more interesting. They’re teasing each other like enemies.”

After a pause, the assistant continued, “He’s very good at controlling himself. He’s teasing and arguing non-stop. Moreover, the combination of good-looking men and women makes people feel like something is going on. Regarding Gong Wanqing, we all know that she doesn’t have a good relationship with Chen Che because of Qu Feng. However, in the show, she can hide this and lead the atmosphere to be very lively. This is really amazing.”

Chu Zhengfei could not help but nod. She turned to her assistant. “So what you’re trying to say is…”

The assistant frowned. “Director, we’ve already shown Gong Wanqing and Qu Feng enough deference. I just said that if the show’s effect is not good, what is there to talk about? Under the premise that it doesn’t affect the show’s effect, showing them deference was key. Unfortunately, Chen Che’s current popularity is not high. He has just been back in the industry and needs a chance very much. Moreover, his salary is not high. He will definitely do his best. Since he has already been eliminated previously, now that such a good opportunity has allowed him to return, and he is still filming in South Africa, if he doesn’t grasp it well, it will be a waste of heaven’s will.”

After pondering for a long time, Chu Zhengfei stood up and gestured to her assistant. “Let him go first. We’ll study it further. Anyway, he still has to film in South Africa. We’ll talk about it when we meet up with Lee Mingyu in South Africa. We’ll be prepared then.”

The assistant left with a smile to inform the Namibian film crew. Chu Zhengfei seemed to be full of confidence as she turned on her computer again and carefully reviewed the plot of this season.

“All, it’s so cold…”

Namibia, Camp Hanas.

In the wilderness, on a white cargo vehicle, there was a tent.

At this moment, the tent curtain was pulled open and Lee Mingyu appeared in front of the camera.

Beside him was a dog named Feifei.

“I can only sleep with it in my arms.”

Lee Mingyu widened his eyes in confusion and hugged Feifei. “Otherwise, I’ll really freeze.”

However, no one paid attention to him.

Lee Mingyu sighed and gestured to Feifei. “Time to get up.”

After getting out of the tent, he carried Feifei out of the car and tied her to the side.

He walked towards the hotel service office..
