Chapter 58. Pick pick me up

The planning department of the "Let's Be Together" program of Jinjiang Entertainment Company.

Da Fei hurriedly ran into the chief director's office from outside, panting and excitedly said, "Director Zhao!"

"What's wrong? Tell me slowly if you have something to say." Zhao Ruibin frowned and said seriously.

"I just received a call from Xie Tianwang's agent, he said Xie Tianwang wants to participate in our show!" Da Fei took a deep breath and blurted out with sparkling eyes.

Zhao Ruibin was startled, his eyes widened and he looked up, slapped the table in disbelief and stood up: "What did you say? Xie Tianwang, are you referring to that Xie Tianwang?"

"Yes!" Dafei nodded heavily.

Zhao Ruibin was in a very good mood. He laughed loudly, walked around the table and patted Dafei on the shoulder: "Good! Good! Good! With Xie Tianwang, our show will definitely be a big hit! Dafei, you and everyone else should hurry up and confirm the other guests and put the show on the schedule as soon as possible. Xie Tianwang's time is very precious. We should not delay him if we can. The publicity work can also begin. Don't leak the news of Xie Tianwang's joining directly. Just throw some seemingly plausible smoke/bombs, and decide whether to reveal it after the recording starts."

Da Fei responded loudly: "Yes!"

After he finished speaking, he paused, and then continued, "Director Zhao, King Xie has an unwelcome request. He wants to recommend someone to participate in this program."

"Oh?" Zhao Ruibin was puzzled. He thought, could it be one of Xie Tianwang's friends in the entertainment circle? Then their trial show would be a big hit. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but curl his beard happily and asked expectantly, "Who is it?"

"She is a senior girl from the Central Academy of Drama. This is the resume sent by Xie Tianwang." Da Fei handed over Chu Ran's resume.

Zhao Ruibin took a look at it and exclaimed in amazement: "What a beautiful girl."

"Yes, yes, I have never seen such a beautiful girl in my life. She will definitely be famous if she enters the entertainment industry." Dafei said excitedly.

Zhao Ruibin did not respond to his words. The entertainment industry is incredibly deep, and it is not as easy as ordinary people think if you are good-looking you will be popular. If you want to stand out in this circle, you need both strength and luck. Strength is divided into hard strength and soft strength, and it is best to have both. As for appearance, it is not a certainty.

Being very good-looking is indeed an advantage, but it is also the source of various hidden dangers, such as jealousy, frame-up, unspoken rules... the list is too numerous to count. Without the support of strength and luck, most of them will eventually disappear.

After reading her resume, I found that Chu Ran is good-looking, has good grades, is good at dancing, piano and screenwriting, but there doesn’t seem to be anything special about her other skills. However, she was recommended by Xie Tianwang... Is there any hidden story behind this?

Zhao Ruibin thought for a moment and asked, "Is there any relationship between Xie Tianwang and this girl?"

"Ah..." Da Fei was stunned when he heard it. He had never thought about this and had never asked Xie Tianwang's agent. He missed such a good opportunity to get closer to him. Why was he so stupid?

Zhao Ruibin knew the situation immediately after seeing it, and smiled to comfort him: "If you didn't ask, then don't ask. With Xie Tianwang's personality, you probably won't get an answer even if you ask. When the program starts recording, give the two of them more shots, and they will find out if there is anything wrong."

Da Fei responded dejectedly and then went out to find someone to contact Chu Ran. After this contact, he found out that the producer of their program group also happened to like this girl. Chu Ran's name spread quickly in the program group.

…

Soon, the promotion of "Let's Be Together" was in full swing, and the official blog posted a message -

Let’s Be Together V: A romantic love journey of three men and four women, with a mysterious celebrity joining in for love. This summer, you’ll look great!

Below is a picture with a red background, a dark shadow of a person and a mysterious question mark in the middle.

The show "Let's Get Together", which had attracted little attention, suddenly became popular because of this handsome figure and the "mysterious big shot" in the accompanying text, instantly attracting countless people to watch and discuss.

"Wow, this figure is so cool. I want to watch this show just for it!"

"This figure looks familiar, is it Lu Bo?"

"No way, such a manly figure must be my brother Fei. My brother Fei is going to participate in a dating show. I'm so excited and jealous!!!"

"+1, I think he looks like Brother Fei too."

"No, no, no, Brother Fei never participates in variety shows, so it can't be him. Besides, he has a concert tour this year, so he doesn't have the time. I think the two schedules collided."

"Oh, yeah, I saw it too. It turns out it wasn't Brother Fei. I was looking forward to it for a while."

…

In just a few hours, before We Are Together was even aired, it became an instant hit, and Xie Fei's name instantly became number one on the headlines. Fans @ him one after another, asking him to say if he had secretly gone to participate in a dating show.

Xie Fei reposted the official Weibo, posted a photo with the same pose, and added two words: Guess~

With such a good opportunity, other people who were speculated to be the mysterious big names and were @ed also reposted the official blog, also attaching photos and the words "Guess". In an instant, the whole network became extremely lively and the whole network joined the guessing game.

…

Chu Ran dragged his suitcase out of the airport and immediately saw the other three female guests waiting on the side. They greeted each other and got into the car prepared by the program crew.

The girl who looked to be about 18 years old was called Dong Jiajia. She was very energetic, had shoulder-length hair that made her look cute and well-behaved. She was wearing a beautiful dress.

The other one was dressed very maturely, with long wavy hair that made her look more mature and charming, and she had a graceful temperament. She was a well-known fashion designer, and she asked everyone to call her Sister Sissi.

The last female guest is Gan Rou. Just like her name, she has a gentle temperament and speaks in a soft voice, just like a girl from the water towns in the south of the Yangtze River.

After the introductions, they fell silent. At this moment, Dong Jiajia suddenly asked, "Sister Chu Ran."

"Hmm?" Chu Ran looked over. "What's wrong?"

Dong Jiajia pursed her lips and smiled, raised her hand to tuck her hair behind her ears, blinked and said shyly: "You don't mind me calling you that, I look like I should be five or six years younger than you."

Chu Ran actually looks about the same age as Dong Jiajia, especially since she is not wearing any makeup, which makes her look even more childish.

So as soon as Dong Jiajia said this, the car fell into silence. Chu Ran and the other two were stunned for a moment, but the cameraman had already quietly captured the expressions of several people.

"I don't mind. I am indeed older than you." Chu Ran smiled awkwardly, then looked at Dong Jiajia in confusion. After a long while, he asked hesitantly, "You... are a minor. No, you should be an adult, right?"

Dong Jiajia was stunned, then nodded and said, "I will be nineteen in three months."

"Oh, you scared me. I thought you were underage." Chu Ran patted his chest.

Dong Jiajia stuck out her tongue, touched her face with some surprise and smiled: "Do I look so young? I feel embarrassed when you praise me like that."

"Ah, no, no, you misunderstood." Chu Ran smiled embarrassedly, "I'm twenty-one, and you said you were five or six years younger than me, so I thought you were still underage."

Everyone else in the car smiled quietly without leaving any trace, and Dong Jiajia's smile froze immediately. She bit her lip in embarrassment, a trace of resentment flashed across her half-closed eyes, and she pulled the corner of her mouth and said, "Really? You don't look like you're 21."

Chu then realized that the atmosphere in the car was a little strange. She scratched her neck with a wry smile and said, "I don't take good care of myself, so I look a little old."

After saying that, he turned around and quietly tapped the car window twice, and said in an annoyed voice: "Chu Ran, you big idiot, let you talk nonsense again."

The four of them were silent along the way, and the car soon drove into the suburban villa that the program crew had prepared for the recording. It had a beautiful garden, and on the green lawn there were lounge chairs, swings, tea party tables and chairs, and colorful flower columns and ribbons. It was surrounded by lush trees and rockery fountains, and there was also a large swimming pool in the backyard of the villa.

Apart from being sparsely populated, it is truly a holiday destination.

The four of them dragged their suitcases towards the villa. Dong Jiajia walked in front of Chu Ran to block the public camera. She smiled imperceptibly, then blinked her sparkling eyes and looked around. She couldn't help but exclaimed: "It's so beautiful, really beautiful. We are going to spend three months here..."

While they were packing their luggage in the room, the program director came in and told them that there was a task card in the living room downstairs, and asked them to pack up and go downstairs to check.

If you want to be remembered and become famous when participating in a variety show, you must have enough shots, and they must be important shots that will not be edited.

Dong Jiajia knew this very well. When she went downstairs, she used her excitement as a cover, trotting to the living room, threw herself on the sofa, and then pretended to see the card by accident. She smiled and picked it up, waved to several people and said, "Look, the card, there is a task."

Several people came over and sat down one by one. Dong Jiajia opened the card in front of the camera, then smiled and said sweetly with dimples: "The first encounter should be romantic and dreamy. We have prepared several dating places (beach, flower gallery, movie city, swimming pool, park). Now, please ask the female guests to write down their favorite dating places on the slips of paper and give themselves a nickname according to their personality. Then the male guests will choose the slips of paper they like and use the nicknames as the dating code to find their destined lovers."

"Ps: Female guests who are not chosen by male guests do not have dates."

After reading it, Dong Jiajia blushed and buried her head in the pillow, screaming "Ahhh" excitedly. Gan Rou sat beside her and smiled with a few blushes on her cheeks. Chu Ran and Zhou Qian both smiled generously.

After a while, several people gathered around the coffee table and had a heated discussion: "Girls should like the flower gallery more, and boys probably won't choose it."

"The park doesn't seem to be that good either. It's not as good as the beach and the movie city. Most boys still like to watch movies."

"The swimming pool is nice too. I think some people will choose the swimming pool."

“I think the swimming pool is nice, too.”

Dong Jiajia was listening quietly at the side. Seeing that Zhou Qian and Gan Rou both wanted to choose the swimming pool, she changed her mind and immediately stuck out her tongue. She looked at them pitifully and said, "Sisters, I, I want the swimming pool. Can you give it to me?"

Several people were stunned, not knowing how to reply to her for a moment. Dong Jiajia puffed up her cheeks, clasped her hands together, and pleaded in a tender voice: "Please, please~"

Gan Rou smiled gently and said, "Okay, I'll go to the flower gallery."

"Then I'll choose the cinema. I've been busy with work and haven't watched a movie for a long time." Zhou Qian said.

Chu Ran was the only one left without a choice. Dong Jiajia suddenly remembered that she had a conflict with her. She looked at her with some worry in her eyes and started thinking about playing a game that would give her a sure win.

Unexpectedly, Chu Ran also nodded and said directly: "Then I choose the beach. I just want to see the sea."

Dong Jiajia looked at her in disbelief, not believing that she would be so kind. But she didn't find anything wrong, so she had to give up. Then the four of them picked up the paper and pen on the table and started writing.
