MMB Chapter 147 Rejecting the Invitation for Season 3
Chapter 147 Rejecting the Invitation for Season 3
Wu Tao and Li Qian'er did not meet as frequently as they had imagined in the days that followed.
Wu Tao still cooks every day and goes home early in the evening to spend time with Nazha.
On Tuesdays, the two of them would drive around Beijing for a while.
They're all adults, but Wu Tao and Gulnazar always seem to have more elaborate antics than the younger generation.
Their cloying and childish behavior made anyone who saw them cringe, yet the two of them were not ashamed at all, and were quite smug about it.
Wu Tao is willing to go crazy and be childish with Nazha.
Perhaps this is love!
Director Yuan Zhenhai approached Wu Tao again, extending an invitation to the third season of the survival show.
Wu Tao declined; he was now used to a stable and comfortable life every day.
Besides, the private kitchen restaurant can't do without him; at least for now, no one can replace him in managing the shop.
Yuan Zhenhai was actually aware of this, but the third season of the show had been delayed for a year and had not yet been prepared.
Originally, after the second season of the survival show finished airing, some people suggested that a third season should be launched as soon as possible.
However, Yuan Zhenhai refused, feeling that such programs should not be broadcast too frequently.
Viewers get tired of the same old thing. Besides, the first and second seasons have already exhausted all the ideas that can be thought of.
The third season can't just repeat the formula of the second season, right? Viewers will easily vote with their feet. If the show fails, regardless of what happens to the others, Yuan Zhenhai will be finished.
Yuan Zhenhai had high expectations for the survival show, and he didn't want it to disappear completely after only three seasons.
Donghai TV considered that Yuan Zhenhai was the founder of the program, and everyone would treat his views with caution.
Not all TV station leaders are incompetent; there are some capable ones.
Since Yuan Zhenhai disagrees, let's take a break for a while. Use this time to think of a new plan, and then prepare for the third season.
Yuan Zhenhai and his men worked countless nights in private to add more fun to the original content.
At this point, Yuan Zhenhai decided to go out and confirm the participating contestants.
This includes celebrity invitations. Wu Tao and Liu Gang both gave commendable performances in the second season, and Yuan Zhenhai plans to invite them again this time.
Because the third season is on a larger scale, the original Three Kingdoms rivalry has now become an Eight Kingdoms war.
The prize money this time is a whopping 50 million Blue Star Coins, and each person will receive an initial appearance fee of 2 million.
Of course, this also means that the places we go to are more dangerous, the dangers are greatly increased, and the adventure lasts for six months.
Earning two million in six months and leaving an impression on audiences in eight countries.
Such treatment is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for celebrities, or anyone who wants to make money or become famous.
Gulnazar, Dilraba, and Yang Mi all received invitations from the program team.
Yang Mi and Dilraba also made a special trip to Xilong Villa to ask Wu Tao for his opinion.
Even Chen He, Wu Jing, Wang Baoqiang, Yang Zi, Li Qin, and Jia Ling came.
Seeing the celebrity members from the first season, Wu Tao sighed, recalling how back then, with so many big shots around, he was just an eighteen-year-old nobody standing to the side.
A group of people sat in the living room, and Wu Tao raised his wine glass to invite everyone to a toast.
"Everyone, Director Yuan Zhenhai also mentioned it to me, but I refused. My private kitchen restaurant definitely needs people now. As you all know, my private kitchen restaurant is more important than taking risks."
Wu Jing, Chen He, Wang Baoqiang, Yang Mi, and Dilraba all nodded in agreement with Wu Tao's statement.
"As for whether you go or not, that's up to you. I've heard the place we're going to this time is even more dangerous. Of course, with the production crew following us, we definitely won't let you die. But personally, I feel this time it will be even more difficult. If you're planning to go, you'll need to train properly beforehand."
"That's right, Wu Tao is absolutely right. This time, we might all have to face danger alone. If we put our own safety in the hands of others, we might encounter some real danger."
Wu Jing is definitely interested; he's been planning to direct his own film recently.
As an action star from Da Dong Guo, I've been getting far too few good scripts lately.
So Wu Jing had a new idea: since others weren't asking him to act in movies, could he direct and star in his own films?
However, it's easier said than done.
A movie investment can be quite large, and Wu Jing only has two million yuan in savings so far.
We have a good script in hand, and the budget will be no less than ten million.
This is also why he decided to take the risk of participating in the competition; if he managed to win, the prize money would be substantial.
He will then have enough money to make a movie. There are six contestants this time.
There will be only two celebrities among them, and two wealthy heiresses who love adventure will also be invited to participate.
Of course, the two experts are the most confident, or rather, the ones who take the lead in the team.
Given the inherent dangers of this event, all participants must train for a month before setting off.
"Well, I think I'll pass. I don't think I can stick with it."
Yang Mi decisively backed down, and Dilraba also said she wouldn't go.
Naza, Yang Zi, and Chen He all felt it was too dangerous and decided not to go.
Everyone originally thought that if Wu Tao participated, they might have some confidence. Wu Tao is a two-time champion, and with him there, the pressure on the others wouldn't be so great.
Li Qin, Wang Baoqiang, and Wu Jing all seemed particularly interested.
It's obvious that these three people have something in mind.
"Baby, are you planning to go?"
"Yes, my agent has registered me."
"Li Qin, what about you?"
"I'd like to give it a try too. I haven't received many scripts lately, and I need the money."
Well, it seems everyone has their own reasons. Wu Tao can only silently wish everyone good luck.
A single gathering cannot make a decision; there will definitely be various investigations and assessments conducted privately.
Liu Gang arrived at Wu Tao's house, where Wu Tao and Nazha were swimming and playing in the backyard.
The housekeeper came over and told Wu Tao that Liu Gang had arrived, so Wu Tao pulled Nazha upstairs.
Wu Tao now employs three nannies. The house is so big that it's impossible for Nazha and Wu Tao alone to manage it.
With three nannies, each earning only 800 yuan a month, Wu Tao said it wasn't a problem.
With a nanny at home, Wu Tao and Gulnazar can easily enjoy life.
They truly lived a life of ease, with everything done for them.
Wu Tao only cooks a meal for Nazha occasionally now; he basically doesn't go into the kitchen at home.
"Wu Tao, have you received an invitation from the production team?"
"Yes, I received it."
Are you going?
"I'm not going. The private kitchens and restaurants here are too busy."
Liu Gang was somewhat disappointed. He had wanted to team up with Wu Tao this time, and he believed that if the two of them worked together, they could still win the championship prize money.
Now Liu Gang has his own business, but as a man who is reserved and introverted, opening a store doesn't really give him much passion.
