After traversing through 365 miserable roles and suffering various gruesome deaths 365 times, Gu Ting finally completed her mission and returned to the real world.
However, the real world was...
Chapter 48 Chapter 48
Gu Ting was the fourth person to arrive at the scene. In addition to the film crew and other staff members, there were two men and one woman standing in front of the camera.
Zhou Jing had previously informed Gu Ting of the list of participants in the variety show. After Zhou Jing's reminder, Gu Ting recognized that the young man smiling at her was named Yi Jingxing, the other man with short hair and honey-colored skin was named Shen Haoxian, and the petite girl with a delicate baby face was named Xia Yunyan.
Zhou Jing and she had discussed this variety show before, but because the production team was not well-known and could not invite big stars, the commercial value was almost non-existent, so there were no sponsors.
Without sponsors, there is naturally no funding, so we can only invite some small stars outside the 18th line and some well-known internet celebrities to participate.
And because Gu Ting and the others were not famous, the director team was ready to take real action and really let them survive in some remote area, letting them find ways to solve their own food and accommodation for two weeks.
Of course, if they can't hold on, they can give up halfway, and the remaining three people can form a group and get more exposure opportunities.
Gu Ting was curious. If singing and dancing could form a boy band or girl band, what kind of group could their survival group become? Because they maxed out their survival skills, would they be promoted to elders of the Beggars' Sect and form a Beggars' Elders' Group?
Gu Ting was tidying up her clothes while thinking about something, and walked forward to greet Yi Jingxing and the other two. Yi Jingxing and the other two all had smiles on their faces, but when Gu Ting turned around, their eyes all fell on Gu Ting's clothes.
Gu Ting's outfit today was indeed eye-catching, but not because it was so beautiful or hot, but simply because from head to toe, from top to bottom, her hat, clothes, and shoes were all covered with red-bottomed gold ingot patterns. Her pilot jacket and overalls were decorated with two-centimeter-wide straps in several places, and these straps were embellished with many words. When you look closely, you can see three words: Female Goddess of Wealth.
The most eye-catching thing is her pair of shoes. In addition to the bright red sole and gold ingot pattern, there are also clear and large words printed on them, which still say: Female Goddess of Wealth.
From head to toe, he was covered with enough gold ingots to circle the earth twice.
After seeing it clearly, Shen Haoxian and others all had awkward expressions.
Following closely behind came a young man wearing sunglasses. Gu Ting judged from his Korean style of dress and silver hair that he was Wang Mowen. It was said that he had been practicing dance since he was a child and had participated in no less than ten talent shows, but had never survived the first round and had a lot of experience in failure.
Gu Ting couldn't help but take another look at her. Wang Mowen also looked at her through his sunglasses and sneered, "Change your clothes. It hurts your eyes."
Gu Ting tilted his head and asked sincerely, "Are you ready to be eliminated in the first round again this time?"
Wang Mowen: "You..."
Gu Ting: "Are you planning to go for the authentic persona and capitalize on the negative and popular traffic?"
Wang Mowen's face was as red as the bottom of a pot.
Xia Yunyan and the other two pursed their lips and dared not speak.
Wang Mowen put on his sunglasses and whispered, "A good man doesn't fight with a woman."
Gu Ting gave him a perfect eye roll, which was all recorded by the camera.
Gu Ting waited a little longer with the others. As a luxury business car arrived, everyone couldn't help but look forward to it. Could there be some unknown wealthy second-generation on the cast list? They wondered if they might bring in money and bring some benefits to the production team.
Under the gaze of dozens of eyes, the driver of the business car got out of the car, ran over and opened the back door. A pair of beautiful legs landed on the ground first, and then a delicate and fair beauty like a porcelain doll stood in front of everyone. She lifted her hair casually, and her beauty was heart-warming.
Everyone stared in amazement, except Gu Ting: "???"
Who will tell her why Hanna is here?
The staff reacted and whispered, "Why is Hannah here in our production team?"
"I remember she wasn't on the previous list. How can we invite a new generation of young actress with our capabilities?"
"You might not know this, but in the last two days, our program team has secured three sponsors. One is a new sports brand from Qianyan Company, a subsidiary of the Yan family, and Miss Hanna's XX red wine is also a sponsor. With the Yan family's support, the quality of our program has skyrocketed. It's no surprise that Miss Hanna is willing to participate."
"With this new generation of young actresses here, our show will definitely attract more traffic and might even become a hit!"
"These little stars and influencers are so lucky. The production team didn't replace anyone except Ms. Han Na."
"If you ask me, it's a bit of a letdown. It's a pity that the contract was signed in advance, otherwise our show would be amazing..."
Han Na walked over with the gait of a supermodel. Before she could come forward, Yi Jingxing, Xia Yunyan and the other three came forward to greet her. Such initiative made Gu Ting, who was standing behind without moving a step, seem particularly out of place.
Someone looked at Gu Ting, sizing her up. Gu Ting looked up at the sky, admiring the clouds.
Han Na saw it, a hint of sneer in her eyes disappeared in an instant, she walked over with a smile and took the initiative to extend her hand: "Gu Ting, we meet again."
Gu Ting shook hands back and smiled lazily: "Yes, what a coincidence."
Although Hanna smiled on her face, she was depressed inside. If people hadn't exposed her temper with her assistant, her extravagant lifestyle, and the fact that several projects that had been agreed upon were inexplicably cut, and she hadn't worked for the past month, she would not have participated in this crappy survival variety show if the company asked her to participate in a variety show to save her image. She was really forcing herself to endure hardship.
Because she was in a bad mood, Hanna wanted to find someone to vent her anger, so when she glanced at Gu Ting's clothes today, she read out word by word with an ambiguous meaning: "Female, wealth, god... er..."
Gu Ting raised his eyebrows and smiled: "The clothes are very unique and beautiful, aren't they? Our company specially customized them for me. You can't buy them anywhere else."
Wang Mowen: "Hehe..."
Hanna: “Haha…” Only a ghost would like this outfit.
After the greetings, the atmosphere cooled again. There were now six people present, and two were still late. Some couldn't help but remark that even Hannah, the biggest star in the group, had arrived, yet two others hadn't. They were so unenthusiastic, no wonder they were still stuck in the 18th tier.
Gu Ting looked around and waited until finally a white car came speeding towards him, and even stopped very suddenly and abruptly.
The next second, a cool and handsome guy got out of the car. When he saw everyone, he just nodded coldly, looking a little aloof.
Unexpectedly, a tall beauty jumped out from behind him, glanced at everyone, revealed a row of big white teeth, and waved frantically at Gu Ting.
"Tingting!" The voice came, and the next second Lin Mengmeng also arrived. She hugged Gu Ting's arm and leaned on Gu Ting's shoulder to pretend to sleep: "I took pictures during the day and at night. I almost vomited."
Gu Ting pinched her chin: "You've lost weight again."
The next second, they both said in unison, their voices excited: "We can drink milk tea again!"
Others: “…”
The cool and handsome guy stood beside Lin Mengmeng without her noticing, glancing at her from the corner of his eye: "Is this vomiting real or fake?"
Lin Mengmeng glared at him unhappily.
Gu Ting's eyes swirled between the two of them: "You guys?"
Lin Mengmeng hurriedly explained, "Fang Qi and I happened to be on the same crew filming a short play. We just finished shooting a night scene and were rushing back. I almost vomited."
Yi Jingxing and others who were completely ignored: "..." Are you treating us as if we don't exist at all?
The director didn't give them much time to exchange pleasantries. He glanced at his watch and immediately asked the crew to start filming, while he took out a manuscript to introduce the program rules.
It was similar to what Gu Ting thought. The production team would confiscate their mobile phones, money, and luggage, leaving them only some clothes, basic daily necessities, and new mobile phones, and then let them live in this remote seaside town. They had to find their own ways to get food and accommodation, and the three who could hold out the longest would form a group.
After the director explained the rules, he disappeared, leaving only countless cameras focused on the eight people.
Yi Jingxing and the others couldn't help but look at Hanna.
"Nana, you have participated in the most variety shows among us and have the most experience. Do you have any suggestions?" Yi Jingxing asked gently.
Everyone looked at Hannah intently, except Gu Ting and Fang Qi, who was yawning and bored.
Lin Mengmeng was curious when she met Han Na for the first time. However, it was not the curiosity of seeing a female celebrity in person. Instead, she was curious about why Han Na was so arrogant and willful when shooting commercials before and inexplicably wanted to be replaced by Gu Ting, but now she seemed to have a good temper and was chatting and laughing with a group of 18th-tier celebrities and internet celebrities?
As expected of an actor, so professional!
Surrounded by people, Hannah smiled. "I'm new and don't have much experience, but since you asked, I'll share my thoughts. There are eight of us in this group, and it's not easy to find food or accommodation. Why not split up into smaller teams and let them do their own thing? That way, we'll have more opportunities. Let's do this for now, and we'll see what happens later."
Chen Haoxian patted his chest and said excitedly: "Sister Na, I am your fan. Sister Na, fly bravely, we fans will always follow you! If there is any dirty work behind, let me do it!"
Xia Yunyan's eyes were full of stars. "Sister Na, I've watched 'Love Star' three times. The scene where Chu Mo loses her memory is so killing me. It's because of you that I dream of entering the entertainment industry and acting..."
Wang Mowen didn't say anything, but his eyes seemed to be glued to Hanna.
Before the discussion was over, Gu Ting dragged his small suitcase down the hill with Lin Mengmeng, heading towards the seaside town. He waved casually, "Everyone, Mengmeng and I will go first. Bye..."
Without waiting for others to react, Fang Qi followed, not too far behind, his hands in his pockets, and said lazily: "Lin Mengmeng, you said you would repay me. I will eat the food first and sleep in the bed first..."
Lin Mengmeng almost fell.
Gu Ting was extremely curious, but there was a microphone on her clothes and a photographer following her, so she couldn't ask blindly. What if something happened between them that couldn't be told to others?
Lin Mengmeng narrowed her eyes: "Don't think that just because you didn't say anything, I don't know what you are thinking. Your eyes are full of filthy curses."
Gu Ting smiled honestly: "Ah? Really? If you think so, there's nothing I can do."
Lin Mengmeng secretly pinched the hand that was holding her arm, cleared her throat, and said, "When I was filming the skit, my acting wasn't very good, and I was always scolded by the director. Fang Qi helped me a lot, so I said I would repay him when I have the chance in the future, that's it."
"Oh..." Gu Ting dragged out the last syllable.
On the other side, Hanna formed a team with her two little fans Xia Yunyan and Shen Haoxian, and the remaining Yi Jingxing and Wang Mowen formed a team. However, Yi Jingxing and the other two grown men said that no matter whether it was Hanna's team or Gu Ting's team, they would definitely stand up and do their best to help when they were needed.
Because Gu Ting and his wife had already left, and Hanna had the most luggage, Yi Jingxing and the other two men helped the two girls carry their luggage and decided to help them find accommodation first.
Several young people quickly became friends and were discussing how to make money and where to stay tonight. Hanna, who didn't say much in the second half, moved towards crowded places intentionally or unintentionally, and was soon recognized by a girl in her 20s.
The girl jumped up with her hands covering her mouth in excitement, but that didn't stop her from taking out her phone with her other hand and turning on the camera. "Hanna! Hanna! I'm your fan! You're so beautiful!!"
Hannah put on a sweet smile and walked over slowly. After a few simple words, she invited the female fan to come over and say, "My family runs a B&B. It's the off-season now, so we have plenty of rooms. If you don't mind, Nana, you and your friends can come stay at my house."
Xia Yunyan and others were delighted. They didn't expect that the accommodation problem could be solved so easily.
