Chapter 426: 267. Gambler Group Red Velvet

After Bae Juhyun left, the first thing Liu Xin’an did was contact the operator of his small station to formally start preparing for remote contract signing.

Early Riser had sent him details about remote signing that morning. There were definitely some hassles involved, but that was certainly simpler than having to buy a plane ticket and fly back to China.

After a series of complex processes and verifications, Liu Xin’an boldly wrote his name on the online contract, confirmed, and submitted it.

A little while later, the matter was settled.

"The three copies of the contract have been sent to you, thanks for the hard work."

Looking at the message from Early Riser, Liu Xin’an also breathed a sigh of relief, glad that remote signing was an option so he didn’t have to make another trip to China.

"Alright, I’ll just go get them when the courier arrives, thanks."

"No big deal."

Liu Xin’an read through the contents of the contract. Aside from some confidentiality clauses, what he focused on the most were the details of his job for this time.

As the future host of the program, he had the right to know the show’s process.

And the procedure for the program was not too different from some of the PK variety shows he had watched recently.

Twenty female artists were split into groups, five in each, forming more professionally-natured girl groups for a PK competition.

As for highlights... was it women pulling each other’s hair, and engaging in scheming and conniving?

Before the official shooting, Liu Xin’an couldn’t be certain, but what made him feel somewhat helpless was that the program definitely had a "script" element.

That meant some of the artists’ responses during the recording had templates. Xin’an wasn’t sure about the specifics yet, but the presence of a "script" easily brought the word "fake" to mind.

He scrolled through the contract with his mouse, glanced over it, and then closed the page.

He had looked over this contract more than once already and was familiar with its contents.

The recording was scheduled for the end of April. From late April to late June, there would be a total of eight episodes, eight stages.

It was nearly the end of March now, so there was not much time left until the agreed-upon end of April.

Beyond hosting duties, he would also need to lead one of the four girl groups as a team leader.

It wasn’t just the artists who’d be in a PK competition – the leaders had to PK as well.

Here, the leaders were essentially like agents.

Because it was an online variety show, and particularly one from a small station, it was inevitable that some content specific to the small station would appear.

Games were sure to be a hit, broad in appeal, and provided a chance for the artists to showcase their charm beyond professionalism.

Gaming encompassed many types, from variety show games to... actual, full-fledged games.

And these games were precisely what the leaders should be focusing on.

Liu Xin’an even wondered if the show might later have them cameo as coaches for some 5v5 games, getting the female artists to sit in front of computers and play LoL or CS:GO...

Cough cough, that was just Liu Xin’an’s baseless speculation; the contract had no mention of that.

Putting aside these matters that wouldn’t need to be considered for another month, Xin’an reopened his live streaming software and started today’s stream.

As always, just seconds after the stream started, a flood of viewers poured in.

After greeting the viewers with a flurry of [Morning] on the chat screen, Liu Xin’an smoothly launched Steam.

"Can’t play Co-op Adventure today, Bamboo went to work, not sure if she’ll be back today. If you guys want to see it, I’d have to stream with someone else."

The Co-op Adventure stream with Bae Juhyun the previous night was quite successful. It was their first couple’s stream and received positive feedback, but since Juhyun’s main job wasn’t being an up-master, Liu Xin’an hadn’t planned on making couple’s streaming a major content, hence the heads-up to the viewers was necessary in advance.

Of course, the viewers didn’t accept Xin’an’s explanation.

Luckily, Xin’an was not new to this kind of situation; whether the viewers accepted it or not didn’t really matter much.

In the end, he had made his statement, and there was nothing he could do if the viewers were dissatisfied.

It’s not like he was going to storm into S-M, heroically rescue Bae Juhyun, and continue the game stream...

With Co-op Adventure not an option, there were still other games to play.

As for gaming content, they weren’t really lacking at the moment.

Soon, Liu Xin’an launched another farming game and officially started today’s stream.

"Thanks to Old E for the Admiral subscription... why are you here if you’re not streaming yourself?"

Just as he opened the game, a notification for an "Admiral" subscription made Liu Xin’an instinctively thank the subscriber, but upon seeing the name, he couldn’t help but smile curiously.

This patron was none other than Old E, who had played games with him a couple of days ago.

He chuckled and scolded him subconsciously. Shortly after, Old E sent him a message.

[Hurry up and play Co-op Adventure with little Bamboo. We’re waiting to watch.]

The comment left Liu Xin’an bemused, lips quirking into a helpless smile. He figured the guy had come to stir things up on purpose.

Old E was one of only two people on the small station who knew Bae Juhyun’s real identity; the other one being Xin’an’s girlfriend.

Knowing the truth and still urging him in this way, it was clear Old E’s goal was to fan the flames.

Of course, they were well acquainted with each other, so these kinds of banter weren’t trouble-making but more like playful interaction. Therefore, Xin’an certainly wouldn’t get mad over it.
