The first season’s low reviews had already proven this. Even if the second season was better, it would not be much better.

Lu Zhen’s participation in this show would definitely cause a wave of heated discussion, but other than that, what else could she obtain?

Lu Zhen did not lack popularity now.

Her main purpose in participating in variety shows was to maintain her exposure in front of the audience and market all kinds of beautiful personal qualities to make the audience like her even more.

If Lu Zhen was rational and clear-headed, she would not have chosen to participate in this show.

This was because almost none of the celebrities who participated in this variety show in the first season were independent. This variety show had a competitive feeling, and the competition system was very cruel. It had nothing to do with peace and quiet. Some new celebrities would do anything to snatch the camera.

The celebrities participating in this variety show were either small celebrities who had yet to make a name for themselves in the entertainment industry, or old and outdated celebrities who could no longer take on any roles. It was almost impossible for popular and capable actors to participate in such a variety show.

In the beginning, Ye Xuan directly gave up this program. However, the production team repeatedly begged and offered a very high price. They even said that they would definitely not edit Lu Zhen’s scene maliciously. In addition, an executive director of the production team and Ye Xuan were once university classmates. Ye Xuan was too embarrassed to reject the other party directly, so she said that she would let Lu Zhen consider it.

She did not expect Lu Zhen to really choose this variety show.

“What are you thinking?” Although she did not understand why Lu Zhen would make such a choice, Ye Xuan remained calm and did not question Lu Zhen

immediately. Instead, she asked for the reason first.

Lu Zhen looked at the introduction of this variety show and did not know how to explain it to Ye Xuan. She chose this variety show because Jiang Fei would be the flying guest for the second episode of this variety show.

It was probably because the first season of this show had a bad reputation that the production team added a lot of gimmicks to the second season. They wanted to continue fooling the audience to watch this show.

In addition to inviting some members of idol groups and famous celebrities to participate in the show, the production team would also invite respected seniors in the entertainment industry to be flying guests.

Judging from the list, some of these guests were legendary movie kings like Jiang Fei, some were famous playwrights, and some were famous foreign actors.

This time, the production team really did not hesitate to invest a lot of money.

“You’re already very popular now. There’s no need for you to fight for a ranking with those people on the show. Your acting skills don’t need the recognition of those directors and flying guests. When ‘Beauty is released, if you can win an award, it’s enough to prove yourself.” Ye Xuan finished in one breath and added, “Think about it again.”

Ye Xuan thought that Lu Zhen had taken a fancy to the popularity of this show.

Although the program’s reputation was not good, the popularity of the first season had indeed broken a new record for television variety shows.

However, as a senior manager, Ye Xuan knew very well that the reason why this show was so popular was not only because of the competition schedule. It was more about marketing the guests and celebrities participating in the variety show.

The production team would even edit the competition process maliciously.

In the first season, because of the production team’s malicious editing, a young male celebrity was almost forced out of the entertainment industry by the Internet.

“Sister Ye Xuan, I know what you mean, but I still want to go to this variety show. I have my own reasons. I promise that I’ll protect myself and not let those things that you’re worried about happen.” Lu Zhen closed the document and stopped watching the other variety shows.

No matter what, she had to go to this variety show.

Ye Xuan had never seen Lu Zhen so determined. She knew that Lu Zhen was a

person with her own opinions, but in terms of work, Lu Zhen usually listened to her and the company’s decisions. This variety show was clearly not the best choice, so why was Lu Zhen so determined?

Ye Xuan could not understand, but after thinking for a while, she nodded.

“Alright, let’s go to this variety show. I’ll help you arrange it.”

“Thank you, Sister Ye Xuan.” Lu Zhen looked at Ye Xuan gratefully. Actually, she also knew that with her current reputation in the entertainment industry, she shouldn’t go to such a show anymore.

If she went on this show, the audience would compare her with those newbies with no acting skills and already outdated artists. This would purely lower her standards.

Moreover, when the time came, the various criticisms on the Internet would probably not stop.

However, she did not want to give up this opportunity. She had never had the chance to interact with Jiang Fei in the first place. It was not easy for her to participate in the same variety show as him. No matter what price she had to pay, she wanted to give it a try..
