CHAPTER 44: CHAPTER 44 WHAT IS CALLED A SURPRISE!

Los Angeles.

"I want to be on this show!"

"That’s not possible."

"Why not? I might not even win in the end!"

"Still not possible!"

"Why?"

"Just not possible!"

Regarding the show "Beautiful Suffering," of course Alexandra noticed it too.

The young girl naturally wanted to participate.

Unfortunately, her agent gave her no such opportunity.

Of course, the reason wasn’t hard to find.

It was because Richard, the prosecutor, wouldn’t allow it.

She couldn’t get anywhere speaking with her father over the phone, so it seemed there was no chance.

Actually, becoming more beautiful is surely every girl’s dream.

And as far as Alexandra was concerned.

She had already landed two roles now.

That’s just how Hollywood is.

But now... she wanted to see Dr. Zhou.

She looked down.

Was she growing too fast?

This girl, who was developing rapidly, couldn’t help but feel a bit worried.

Is this normal?

...

Also in Los Angeles, also an actress.

"Anne, if you don’t want to participate in that plastic surgery show, then forget it."

The agent had good intentions, after all, they also needed to care for the actress’s mindset.

Moreover, Disney finally provided the script for "The Princess Diaries 2."

This meant that our Princess Anne had work.

But Anne’s response took the agent by surprise.

"I want to join that show!"

Unequivocal.

The agent was very curious, "Why?"

"This show is great, a lot of people are paying attention to it, even though it hasn’t aired, I’ve already heard many people talking about it, so this is a great opportunity."

The agent was overjoyed hearing this.

"The Princess Diaries 2" would take a little longer to start shooting.

But this reality show was right in front of her.

Although the reality show’s production team wasn’t paying the participants much, it was a big help in increasing her fame.

Only, the agent didn’t know the real reason.

Anne Hathaway also received the script for "The Princess Diaries 2."

Look, it’s right there.

But it’s just a pile of dogshit!

Although Anne Hathaway was just a young actress.

She had brains.

After reading the script, Anne concluded.

There definitely wouldn’t be a "The Princess Diaries 3."

This movie was definitely getting made, she just wasn’t qualified to give opinions on a bad script.

So, she figured it was better to participate in "Beautiful Suffering."

Maybe it could save her career a bit.

Every time Anne thought of this show, the image of Dr. Zhou popped into her mind.

Everyone said he was a good doctor.

Ha!

Fake, absolutely fake!

...

Nowadays, American TV stations are indeed very strong.

Zhou Mo Sen held a $200,000 check, unable to help feeling emotional.

As Chris mentioned, the production cost of our show.

Each episode was about $1.2 million.

Each episode was one hour, which meant $1.2 million per hour.

This was only a medium production budget.

After all, back in the 90s, the average production cost for American TV shows was already $900,000 an hour.

Our "Beautiful Suffering" production team really didn’t cost the TV station much.

Moreover, the show hadn’t even aired yet.

But all of Hollywood was already talking about it.

Indeed, there hadn’t been a show of this type before, and too many people were into beauty.

And as for the contestants... quite a few men had come forward now.

Of course, currently, the proportion of men having cosmetic surgery was indeed not as high as women.

But you can’t deprive men of their right to pursue beauty!

With this, our show could start production.

Zhou Mo Sen needed to adjust his time.

Luckily, for now, our clinic hired a lot of new people.

The number of doctors hadn’t changed much.

Mostly, they hired quite a few more nurses.

Actually, for something like Hyaluronic Acid injections.

In the United States, nurses have the authority.

But, previously, we aimed for quality assurance.

Seeing someone like Heidi, no one would feel at ease letting her give an injection, right?

Our clinic aimed for patients to leave with a smile.

We’re not like the later hair salons, where getting a haircut was like gambling on stones.

Many people ended up gambling with Tony the hairstylist.

So, previously, all the injections were done by doctors.

Now, the customers, or rather the patients, were coming in too frequently.

And they were mainly for injections.

Simply hire more skilled nurses.

And provide them with more training.

Allowing them to provide better and more precise injections to patients.

This way, even if Zhou Mo Sen wasn’t at the hospital.

Then Andy Warhol and Uchida could hold their own.

Of course, the show’s production team filmed Dr. Zhou’s work content.

This is already in his clinic.

So, Zhou Mo Sen shouldn’t have too much time away from his position.

Looking at it this way, it seems quite easy.

Then add 200,000 to that 1.1 million.

1.3 million US Dollars earned so easily?

Zhou Mo Sen thought, I should be making 150,000 per episode.

That, of course, is tied to viewership, considered an incentive.

But Zhou Mo Sen is very confident that he can definitely achieve it!

That is to say, he’s planning to make around 2 million!

Can Dr. Zhou’s desires be satisfied?

What he didn’t expect was that the production team had prepared a ’surprise’ for him.

...

It’s almost August.

Southern California is about to enter the hottest period.

The "Beautiful Suffering" production team is about to start rehearsals before the official shoot.

If it goes smoothly, they might as well start shooting right away.

Zhou Mo Sen drove from San Diego, and not only was he not late.

He even arrived a bit early.

Immediately, a staff member led him to the filming site.

Along the way, he saw quite a few people.

Jin Xiaomei was still very low-key, rarely speaking, and merely nodded when she saw Zhou Mo Sen.

This was actually agreed upon by everyone beforehand.

That’s best this way.

Then there’s Megan Fox, who finally got her wish.

Seeing Zhou Mo Sen, she threw a charming wink directly.

Zhou Mo Sen kept a serious face, not responding.

But he also admitted.

This girl really packs a punch, that little waist of hers.

Ahem...

Then he spotted Anne Hathaway.

Her gaze intentionally drifted elsewhere, pretending not to see him.

Zhou Mo Sen felt a bit amused.

Your mouth is so tough, but you’re still here?

Now there’s no need to say anything more.

Soon, Zhou Mo Sen was guided to his ’seat’.

Our show now has a ’Doctor’s Review’ segment confirmed.

It’s about which contestant can have cosmetic surgery and who can’t.

A bit like the ’mentor’ feel of The Voice.

Not long after, Chris came over to discuss with him.

"Three doctors should be enough, right?"

"No problem."

"In addition, if the ratings are good, there will also be big celebrities or directors joining in the second half."

"That would be great!"

It’s apparent that our reality show is progressively intensifying.

KNBC is increasingly valuing it.

This is definitely good news.

As to which big stars and directors will come, it probably depends on the situation.

It’s definitely tied to viewership as well.

Zhou Mo Sen isn’t in a hurry, anyone is fine.

In his view.

This is a great opportunity to break into the high-end market!

Actually, those big stars are the real quality clients willing to spend money on cosmetic treatments.

The ones Zhou Mo Sen currently encounters are still just small-time actors.

Through this show, he not only can earn millions of US Dollars.

But also has the potential to discover more valuable big clients.

Beautiful!

Just as Zhou Mo Sen was dreaming of the future, the other two doctors arrived.

But as soon as they appeared, Zhou Mo Sen was stunned.

"Hello, Dr. Zhou."

The first of course was Sidney.

Zhou Mo Sen really didn’t expect her to appear here.

"Hello."

She graciously extended her hand, and Zhou Mo Sen couldn’t be impolite.

He simply shook it, extending courtesy.

And the other one...

"Hello there, my dear Zhou, we meet again."

It turned out to be Kate!

Zhou Mo Sen really hadn’t expected her to make a comeback.

"Hello, hello."

He smiled and gave Kate a courtesy hug.

Although it was courteous, it was completely different from before.

Different treatment?

Sidney had already prepared herself before coming.

To stabilize her mindset.

But witnessing this scene, she couldn’t help but twitch her eyebrows twice.

Fortunately, just twice.

But Kate’s side was unstoppable.

She laughed and said, "Seeing your ex-girlfriend, shouldn’t you be happy?"

Who really gets happy seeing their ex?

Zhou Mo Sen felt a bit awkward, but still smiled and said, "Let bygones be bygones."

Really?

But Kate just smiled without saying anything, as she already held a winning hand.

And now Zhou Mo Sen sat in the middle...

On one side is the ex-girlfriend, on the other is pinned on the office desk.

Great! Just freaking great!

Is this TV station being deliberate?

Very likely, they just want to create topics.

KNBC, you really prepared a grand surprise for me!
