"Hi, Qin Guan. I'm the director of CBS. May I have a private word with you? It will only take five minutes."
"No problem."
"Could you walk on our red carpet?"
"What do you mean?"
"I mean the one that's meant for the stars. Madonna and Britney will walk on the same carpet."
"That wouldn't be proper. I'm neither a musician nor a nominee. People will think I'm showing off."
What's wrong with that? If Nicholas Cage was here, I would have asked him to do the same. It's all about the audience ratings, bro!
The director nearly cried out in exasperation. Qin Guan didn't want to embarrass him.
"I could be the last one to walk on it so I can avoid breaking the rules."
"Really? You are so nice, Qin Guan. I'm a big fan of yours!"
It's too late for flattery now.
