Chapter 3253 Recording a Radio Program
In the office of the Pujiang TV station's radio station, director Lao Zhou was pacing around in worry.
A stack of documents was spread out on the table. On top was the news of the wrap-up of "Miss Zhao's Family". Next to it was the playback data of "All the Way to Bloom". In just a few days, the number of views exceeded 10 million. If only we could invite some of the children from Little Red Horse, their radio program would definitely be able to make a comeback!
Radio stations are declining these days, and it's becoming increasingly difficult to get big-name celebrities to participate.
"Director, Little Red Horse Film Company still hasn't given in, saying the kids don't want to participate in interviews too often."
The assistant pushed the door open and said helplessly, "The production team also said that unless the children are willing, they will not force them."
Old Zhou sighed: "These kids are so hard to invite. So many media outlets have been turned down before."
He stared at Liu Liu's photo in the file, then his eyes lit up and he said, "That's right! Isn't Liu Liu's mother, Zhu Xiaojing, working at our station? She's a senior director. If we ask her to put in a good word, maybe it'll work!"
The assistant said, "That's true, but although we work at the same station, we don't know each other. If we approach her rashly, will she help us?"
Old Zhou said, "I've met her twice before and we exchanged phone numbers. She might remember me. I'll try to find her. If that doesn't work, I'll ask my supervisor to step in."
He took the proposal to Zhu Xiaojing, his attitude exceptionally sincere: "Xiaojing, we really need your help this time! We want to invite Liuliu and her friends to record a program, to talk about movies and sing theme songs, but we really can't get in touch with them. Could you please ask around for us? It would be a great support for our station!"
Zhu Xiaojing looked at the proposal and said, "I'll give it a try, but they are always very careful with their schedules. I can't guarantee whether we can get them. I'm just asking around."
Old Zhou quickly expressed his gratitude: "Of course, whether it works out or not, I will thank you."
Zhu Xiaojing didn't waste any time and immediately called Zhang Tan. When it came to the little red horse, Zhang Tan's words carried the most weight.
On the phone, Zhu Xiaojing got straight to the point: "Mr. Zhang, our radio station would like to invite Liuliu and Xiaobai to record a radio program to talk about 'Miss Zhao's family.' Is that convenient for you? The recording time won't be long, just one hour, and the pay is negotiable."
Zhang Tan paused for a moment, then said, "Since Sister Xiao Jing asked, I'll definitely give her face! But I have to ask the children what they think. They just finished filming and the sports meet, and I'm afraid they don't want to participate."
When Zhu Xiaojing got home in the evening, she prepared a sumptuous dinner to treat Liuliu.
Liuliu was astonished. She looked at the delicious dishes on the table, then at Zhu's mother, and even wondered if the food had been poisoned. Otherwise, why would Zhu's mother be so kind?
She even let Shen Limin try it first, and only started eating herself after she confirmed that there were no problems.
At the dinner table, while Liuliu was enjoying her meal, Zhu Xiaojing talked to her about recording a radio program and asked if she wanted to go.
Without a second thought, Liuliu agreed immediately when she heard that it was Zhu's mother who had helped make the connection.
Zhu Xiaojing continued, "When we get to Little Red Horse, you'll have to persuade Little White."
Liu Liu was a little unhappy and said, "Why should I convince Xiao Bai?"
Zhu Xiaojing said, "Let's get Xiaobai to agree to go too."
Liuliu said, "If she doesn't want to go, that's fine. I'll go. I can go whenever I want, and I don't need Xiaobai's permission."
Zhu Xiaojing said, "It would be best if you all went together, that way it would be more lively with more people."
Helpless, Liuliu went to Little Red Horse that evening and accompanied Zhu's mother to find Little White.
Xiao Bai readily agreed, "Okay, but we have to bring Dudu and Xiaozhou along. Xiaozhou will be playing the harmonica during the interlude, and Dudu is the real Miss Zhao. We can't do without them!"
Zhu Xiaojing was surprised that Xiaobai was so agreeable and even offered to bring his companions, so she immediately called Lao Zhou back.
When Lao Zhou received the message, he said, "Sure! We'll hire everyone! As many as you want! Double the pay, it's the best we can offer!"
Zhu Xiaojing told him to prepare more snacks and drinks for tomorrow.
The next day, around dusk, Zhu Xiaojing drove to pick them up. Liuliu, Xiaobai, Dudu, Xiaozhou, and the group headed to the TV station.
Xiaobai originally wanted to invite Chengcheng to come along, but Chengcheng refused. She didn't like participating in these kinds of activities and preferred to stay with Little Red Horse and tell stories with the other children.
On the way, Liuliu said with a whimsical idea, "When we get to the live broadcast room, I'm going to sing the theme song first, and then talk about how I added scenes to my film!"
Xiao Bai rolled her eyes and said, "Tone it down. Don't turn the radio show into your personal showcase. And are you sure you want to sing? Aren't you afraid your image will crumble and everyone will know you just yell when you sing?"
Liuliu said, "You're the one who sings by shouting. I sing by using my chest, which is a very professional skill."
Xiao Bai chuckled but didn't answer. Du Du advised Liu Liu not to sing on the radio program. Since Xi Er wasn't here, they should let's not talk about singing today and just chat about movies.
Upon arriving at the TV station, Lao Zhou and his staff were already waiting at the entrance, warmly welcoming them: "Welcome, welcome! Little stars, you've finally arrived!"
The live-streaming room was already set up, with four microphones lined up in a row, and a small table piled high with snacks, including beef jerky, bear-shaped biscuits, bear-shaped drinks, and more—all things that children love to eat.
Liuliu and Dudu's eyes lit up, and they each grabbed a handful.
Xiao Zhou was led to a seat by Zhu Xiaojing, where his harmonica was placed next to him.
Before the recording started, Lao Zhou specifically instructed: "Everyone, feel free to chat, say whatever you want, Liu Liu can sing if she wants to, and Xiao Zhou can play the harmonica anytime!"
Liuliu immediately looked at Xiaobai, who said in a serious, low voice, "It's a promise, you're not allowed to sing."
Liu Liu snorted coldly and remained silent.
"3, 2, 1, start!"
The director made a gesture; the radio hosts were a man and a woman, both with very pleasant voices.
The female host started by saying that a mystery guest had been invited today, and then asked the mystery guest to introduce himself.
Liuliu spoke into the microphone first: "Hello everyone! I'm Shen Liuliu! I'm the main character in 'Miss Zhao's Family,' and I also participated in the chorus of the theme song you're listening to, 'A Road of Blossoms'!"
Xiao Bai then said, "Hello everyone, I'm Xiao Bai, and I'm the assistant director in 'Miss Zhao's Family'."
Dudu and Xiaozhou also introduced themselves.
Old Zhou asked with a smile, "I heard that many media outlets wanted to interview you, but you all turned them down. Why did you agree to come to our program this time?"
Liuliu said proudly, "Because this is a program at my mom's workplace! If my mom asks me to come, I'll definitely come! We don't have time for other people's invitations!"
Xiao Bai hurriedly explained, "We listen to this radio program often and really enjoy it. We were all very happy to hear that we could be on the show, and we couldn't wait to come."
Dudu and Xiaozhou nodded repeatedly.
Taking the opportunity, Lao Zhou asked about the fun things that happened during filming. Liu Liu quickly said, "Xiao Bai always cuts my scenes, making me reshoot this and that. What's that saying? She's always finding fault with me. That's why filming is really tiring."
Xiao Bai immediately retorted, "It's clearly you who likes to change the lines, always wanting to add lines, disrespecting our work as screenwriters and directors. And besides, you were the one who threw cake at my face first!"
The two chatted back and forth, sharing many interesting stories from the film crew. The radio listeners were captivated, and the hotline was ringing off the hook with calls, many from people asking Xiaobai and Liuliu questions for answers.
Finally, when the conversation turned to a side story, Lao Zhou asked Xiao Zhou to play the harmonica. Xiao Zhou took a deep breath, placed her fingertips on the harmonica, and a light and cheerful melody flowed out.
Liuliu hummed along softly to the tune: "Sunlight shines into my home, toys piled up on the sofa..."
……
During the recording, Lao Zhou somehow found out about their recent participation in the sports meet and asked them what good results they had achieved.
Liuliu talked about the tug-of-war competition with great enthusiasm, Xiaobai talked about the regret of the football final, Xiaozhou talked about his participation in the tug-of-war competition and his speech as a representative, and Dudu talked about winning two championships. Each of them spoke vividly, and the audience listened with rapt attention.
