Yin Chengjue’s past life was a complete joke.
The star he personally groomed not only betrayed him but twisted the knife when his company was on the brink of collapse.
Reborn, he vowed ...
Two actors from the same drama crew, who were fierce rivals online, surprisingly developed a flirtatious atmosphere during a game. Although it was all for the sake of variety show effect, the production team was very satisfied with the situation. They had already automatically added a pink bubble to the atmosphere in their minds, and it had to be included in post-production! And the promotional trailer for this episode! From antagonism to flirtation, from competition to "happy marriage," it's all arranged!
Sitting in the audience, the production team seemed to see even higher ratings beckoning to them.
On stage, the game was over. The chaotic third round allowed them to completely let loose. Because of the "practice" in the second round, everyone's style had gone a bit astray. When they couldn't reach their opponents, they started to complain about their teammates. Some groups simply moved away from the most chaotic central area and leisurely stood on the periphery, chatting with their opponents.
Blood Mist Forensic Doctor: "That's great, your crew has so many beautiful women, unlike us, which is all men."
Tianya Male Third: "Don't you guys also have a girl?"
Blood Mist Forensic Doctor: "Her? She's just playing herself. What she's like in the show is exactly what she is like in real life. We can't afford to mess with her."
The third male lead suddenly pointed behind the forensic doctor.
The forensic doctor turned around in the direction he was pointing and saw the female team member already holding the inflatable baton high in the air...
Forensic pathologist: "..."
The cozy corner was thus disrupted.
Because this game is quite physically demanding, after this segment, the host led everyone to sit down and share some interesting or memorable things that happened to them on set.
After playing the game together, the young people who had only been competing against each other online have gradually let go of some of their differences. Of course, even if it's just for the sake of the show, they still have to put on a show of "letting go of their differences."
The show "Hi Fun" wanted to create a "friends through conflict" effect for them, which would ensure high ratings without ruining the show's reputation or making people think that the show was just for celebrities to fight.
As a long-running variety show that has been popular for so many years, Director Dai's team is very shrewd.
The two film crews shared their interesting experiences on set, with the host cracking jokes and occasionally throwing in a punchline, creating a warm and harmonious atmosphere.
However, it would be a big mistake to think that the harmonious atmosphere would continue indefinitely.
We're tired of talking about ratings.
The host quickly changed the subject, turning the conversation to Rong Yu and Ming Qian.
Host: "Xiaoyu, many netizens say that although you and Mingqian are in the same boy group, you two don't get along in private. Is that true?"
The moment these words were spoken, the entire room fell silent.
The previously harmonious atmosphere instantly changed, and everyone showed surprised expressions, clearly finding it hard to believe that the host had posed such a direct question.
After the initial surprise, everyone turned to look at Rong Yu, their gazes lingering between Rong Yu and Ming Qian.
Mingqian quickly waved her hand and said, "No way, Rong-ge and I have a pretty good relationship in private. He even taught me dance moves when we were trainees, but that was a while ago, so maybe Rong-ge doesn't remember."
It's one thing for Mingqian to insist that something that never happened, but she also adds that Rongyu might not remember it. If Rongyu honestly says that he didn't remember, others will only think that Rongyu really forgot, and in the sense of "forgetting things easily." If Rongyu says that he didn't forget, it's clearly a fabrication, so how could it possibly match up with Mingqian?
Rong Yu's gaze lingered on Ming Qian's face, revealing a meaningful smile: "Since everyone wants to know what our relationship is like in private, why don't we play a game to test our tacit understanding? We'll find out once we try."
As Rong Yu spoke, she raised one index finger and shook it.
Because Rong Yu was speaking, his action naturally drew everyone's attention.
“This game is very simple. You just say something, and then we simultaneously make the first reaction we feel upon hearing it. If seven out of ten reactions are the same, it means we have good teamwork. How about that?” Rong Yu said.
The host paused for two seconds before saying, "Oh, we've played this game on our show before. Why don't we all play it together now?"
Rong Yu rested her elbows on her legs and lightly propped her chin with her fingers, saying, "Since everyone is familiar with this game, let's increase the difficulty a bit. Only the upper body is allowed to move, and the legs cannot leave the ground. How about that?"
Host: "Hey! Great, let's have our staff come up and draw a circle for everyone!"
Rong Yu looked at the host: "Teacher Xuan, do you think the Blood Mist Men's Group or the Tianya Men's Group had a higher level of teamwork this time?"
Host Xuan: "Well, it's hard to say."
Rong Yu: "Just guessing doesn't seem very interesting, so how about we... use the bitter melon juice as a bet! The team with the best teamwork will get the bitter melon juice reward."
The host's eyes lit up: "That makes sense!"
The others: "..." That makes no sense! If you win, you have to drink bitter melon juice. Who would want to win then?
No, wait! Something seems off?
The host, who was assigned to Rong Yu's group, pointed to himself: "Um, isn't it me who's the host?"
Rong Yu readily handed the microphone to the host and said with a smile, "Cut out that rehearsal segment and let our Brother Wei record it officially!"
Whether this segment will be cut is something the production team needs to consider. In any case, Rong Yu has successfully shifted the focus without making it feel forced or perfunctory.
Wasn't the production team trying to ask him about his relationship with Mingqian in private? They directly equated their private relationship with "chemistry," then played a game testing their chemistry with everyone, confusing the rewards and punishments for winning and losing. The winner had to drink bitter melon juice, while the loser received the same treatment as the winner. So, after the game's outcome, regardless of whether the two's actions were synchronized, it could be said that the winner and loser were accidentally confused, thus providing an explanation for the PR team behind them.
Although the game proposed by Rong Yu was not part of the program's planned schedule, it just so happened that the following games also required teamwork, the theme was relevant, and the rules of the game were simple, so it was only natural to do this game.
After five hours of recording, everyone looked exhausted. They said goodbye backstage and then left.
Since it was their first gathering since the filming of Blood Mist wrapped up, the eight of them arranged to have dinner together.
This is their first role in the industry, and a good stepping stone. After that, they will each join other production teams, play different characters, and also forge their own paths in life.
The entertainment industry is vast, and once a film crew part ways, it's practically impossible for them to reunite.
The group clearly realized this as well, so this meal was less of a "reunion" and more of a "farewell" for everyone.
This parting marks the beginning of a long and promising journey. Wishing you all the best for the future and may you both take care.
When Yin Chengjue went to pick up Rong Yu, he found that the group of people who had been drinking in the private room had all fallen under the table. The only one who hadn't fallen under the table was propping his chin up with one hand and sticking peanuts from the plate with the other, counting them and arranging them into neat rows and columns.
Yin Chengjue stepped over several people before reaching Rong Yu's side and picking up the plate of peanuts.
Rong Yu's gaze followed, and she kept muttering, "32..."
Yin Chengjue was both amused and exasperated: "Only thirty-two?"
Rong Yu's vision was clearly a little blurry. After a moment of reaction upon hearing this, she said, "I don't know... I've counted many times..."
Yin Chengjue squatted down, took a plastic bag out of his pocket, and asked, "Are you feeling unwell? Do you feel like throwing up?"
Rong Yu shook her head absentmindedly and said abruptly, "I don't want to get a shot anymore..."
Yin Chengjue reached out and rubbed his stomach: "I didn't say I'd take you to get a shot. We don't need shots. How much did you drink? Do you feel like throwing up? You'll feel better if you throw up."
Rong Yu shook her head again: "I don't want to take medicine anymore...it's bitter..."
Seeing that he didn't seem to want to vomit, Yin Chengjue put away the plastic bag, took out the hat, goggles, and mask that he had prepared beforehand, and put them on Rong Yu's head and face.
Rong Yu immediately began to struggle.
However, he had drunk too much today and didn't have much strength to struggle. He was quickly subdued by Yin Chengjue and carried out of the private room.
Several people came in from outside; they were all arranged by Yin Chengjue to take these drunkards back.
Perhaps because these people made a mistake when they came to have dinner together, several paparazzi who had caught wind of the situation were already waiting outside the hotel.
Yin Chengjue had anticipated this, so he deliberately hired a group of bodyguards dressed in black suits and sunglasses. Each bodyguard carried one of Rong Yu. Yin Chengjue was originally holding Rong Yu, but when they were about to leave the hotel, he put on sunglasses and carried Rong Yu on his shoulder.
So the paparazzi waited all night, only to be greeted by a group of tall, muscular men carrying out one celebrity after another, who appeared to be the ones they were there to photograph.
Paparazzi: "..."
Something's off about this art style.
By the way, the footage makes the bodyguards look more like they're walking a runway.
What baffled the paparazzi even more was that the bodyguards in sunglasses and black suits even came over to them, deliberately posing and beckoning them to take pictures.
Paparazzi: "..." No, we don't want to photograph you, we want to photograph the celebrities you're carrying on your shoulders, thank you!
But the celebrities are already drunk and passed out, so there's no point in taking pictures of them. At most, you can just take a picture of their drunken faces and post something like "XXX got drunk late at night for no apparent reason".
However, such copywriting is already outdated.
