Chapter 34
A match made in heaven and a muse
It was now the rehearsal break, and after Chi Jia greeted a group of people, he slipped over to Ling Suisui.
He shook her hand and said, "Teacher Zhenzhen, I have heard a lot about you."
Ling Suisui: ...
She held his hand and said, "Teacher Chi, you are too polite. My name is Ling Suisui, which means "sui" in wheat ear and "sui" in years."
Although the joke about Zhenzhen is also good, don't always call her by her nickname, you should call her by her real name more often QAQ
Chi Jia fluently and naturally changed his words to call her Sui Sui, and expressed his love for the character of Jia Zhenzhen.
"I was writing songs for my new album at the time, but I was under so much pressure that I couldn't write anything. My inspiration was almost exhausted. Then I saw your Jia Zhenzhen. That part was really amazing and really touched me. After I finished watching it, I felt like my mind suddenly became clear."
Hearing him say this, Ling Suisui suddenly understood.
No wonder his initial favorability towards her was so high...it turns out Chi Jia is also a singer-songwriter.
Chi Jia came to Fast 7 this time to promote his new album.
His title song has been released, and thanks to the efforts of his fans, it has topped the charts again, but Ling Suisui, who had random play turned on, has never come across it, or he has forgotten it after hearing it and has no impression of it.
Who says this is the Internet age? The information cocoons between different groups are becoming more and more serious, and the circles are becoming more and more distinct.
Chi Jia is still a top idol in the circle. It is difficult for him to break through the circle even when he releases a new song. Most of the time, it is just for the fans to have fun.
As for other idols, it’s even more difficult. The traffic stars cannot escape the embarrassing situation where they have worked hard for half their lives, but their only representative works are still their fans.
Chi Jia was obviously particularly interested in Ling Suisui. Even through the screen, he liked Ling Suisui's appearance.
The aesthetic taste of idols tends to be refined and rich in color, and a strong and aggressive style can more easily catch the audience's attention on the stage and attract fans with just one shot.
Ling Sui's face clearly has an oriental charm, but she is also a "beauty at first sight". Chi Jia felt that it was probably because her eyes were so lively that it was difficult for people to look away once they saw her.
He knew her name was "Sui Sui", but he somehow felt that the word "Sui" was more suitable for her. When she played Jia Zhenzhen and shed tears, the feeling of brokenness was so amazing.
Chi Jia thought of many topics, such as asking her how old she is, where she goes to school, where she is from...
He thought they had a good chat, but from Ling Sui's perspective, if he asked a few more questions, he could be a census taker.
Although these topics were not very private and were still within the normal range of social ice-breaking, but thinking of his 90% favorability rating, Ling Sui felt that she should keep a distance from him in private.
Chen Yuening and Yingnian’s salaries are at least rising slowly, and Chen Yuening is still stuck at 99. Chi Jia seemed to get easily excited, and Ling Sui was worried that he might become impulsive and lose his sense of propriety.
After Chi Jia talked about his concert and seemed to want to invite her to watch it, Ling Suisui quickly interrupted him.
If he had invited her seriously during the rehearsal break with so many people present, it would have been difficult for her to directly refuse, as that would have been too disrespectful to him.
But she really didn't want to go - what if Chi Jia's rivals made up a story about her being the "real sister-in-law at the concert", she didn't know whether Chi Jia's fans would stop following her, but she would definitely be scolded to death.
"Speaking of concerts, I think of my roommate."
Ling Suisui immediately changed the subject: "Do you know Xiang Yanchu? She is also an artist who debuted through an antenna talent show."
Chi Jia: "I know her. She's my junior. I even participated in the third round of her performance and happened to be the guest singer in her group."
"I only knew that she was admitted to the Film Academy, but I didn't expect that she was your roommate. What a coincidence, we are so destined to be together."
Ling Suisui: ...
If anyone is destined to be with you, please say less.
She went on to say, "It seems that her group is also planning to disband its concert."
"Yes, all limited groups have it. We had it at the beginning, too, and it was so sad."
Only when the topic shifted to this did Ling Suisui agree to chat with him for a few more minutes.
Of course, she did not forget to pull Zhong Yao next to her in. We are all friends, let’s chat together.
After the rehearsal, Ling Suisui checked the system in the bathroom.
She first checked the achievement gallery, and sure enough, a new badge named "Muse" was lit up.
This is easy to understand literally, but there is another "match made in heaven" that makes Ling Suisui a little confused.
She checked the achievement description and found out that the male protagonist’s initial favorability towards her reached 90, which was almost love at first sight, so they were a “match made in heaven”.
Ling Suisui: ...
Forget it, she shouldn’t ask why the male protagonist likes her. They are just a perfect match. According to the system's criteria, it will only say things that will increase her blood pressure.
She asked the system: [Since Chi Jia has known me for a long time and knows me, why did his favorability towards me only unlock now? 】
System: [It was not until today that Chi Jia and the host met for the first time. 】
Ling Suisui raised his eyebrows: [If the basic condition for unlocking favorability is to be in the same time and space, and to be together face to face, then what about Yingnian? I remember that when his favorability was unlocked, Yingnian and I hadn’t met yet. 】
The system did not answer. After a few seconds, it responded:
[Ying Nian’s perception of you is you, but in Chi Jia’s heart, you are Jia Zhenzhen. 】
Ling Sui sneered in her heart, she didn't believe it.
No matter how well she played Jia Zhenzhen, it was only to immerse the audience. How could she possibly make Chi Jia feel that this living person was Jia Zhenzhen and not Ling Suisui?
It is understandable that a three-year-old child cannot distinguish between what is on stage and what is not, but Chi Jia is not only an adult, but also an insider, and he does not look stupid.
No matter how she looked at it, Ling Sui felt that the system was fooling her. That time, it must have violated the rules and ran away.
In fact, unlocking it early or late doesn’t matter, but Ling Suisui thought of something deeper.
——Perhaps you can take advantage of the system's mistakes and try to get some leverage in your hands.
After all, she never thought of being a "sister-in-law", she just wanted to take advantage of the situation. If the system realizes this one day, she will have the bargaining chips to negotiate with it.
She said in a positive tone: [Really? I think this is a bug. There should be a complaint and suggestion function in the settings page. I will give feedback to the Spacetime Administration. 】
Ling Suisui actually used his consciousness to explore the system page, and the system immediately spoke:
[Host, the system has a self-repair function, so this failure does not need to be reported to the Time Management Bureau. 】
Oh~ It seems that it is afraid of being complained.
Ling Suisui smiled and said: [I found a bug, can you give me any reward or compensation? 】
System: [Host, you still have one chance to draw the lottery but you haven’t used it. 】
Want to hint to her that there will be good stuff in the next lottery?
Ling Suisui pretended not to understand: [We are talking about compensation. The lottery is what I deserve for unlocking the achievement. So one thing is another. 】
Seeing her attitude, the system had no choice but to send her a compensation package.
As if to shut her up and stop her from pursuing the matter, the contents of the gift package were particularly generous. Not only is there "full body beauty", but there is also the "popularity halo buff" that the system has been trying to persuade her to buy, but Ling Sui thinks it is too expensive and is reluctant to spend her points on it.
Ling Sui used the turntable to draw again and won 200 points. His luck was quite good.
Very good, a great harvest.
She checked the extra records in the points and item details, and the corners of her mouth curled up.
With detailed transaction records, there is evidence of illegal system operations and bribery of the host.
In the future, she hoped that the system would be obedient and sensible, and let her take advantage of it.
Otherwise, I don’t know how the Space-Time Administration will explain these evidences after they are handed over to it.
**
Before recording the show, the hosts and guests need to change their clothes.
The stars all have brand-sponsored or designated clothing, but Huhu Ling Sui has no collaboration and is still wearing her private clothes from rehearsal.
The staff also checked her from head to toe to make sure her clothes did not reveal any brand logos or emblems before taking a guest poster for her to use as promotional materials.
Half an hour before the official recording, Ling Suisui was still practicing the movements for the opening dance.
She didn't need to dance along, or even sing herself, after all, the singer Chi Jia was among the guests. Ling Suisui only needs to follow the music and do a few moves in time.
Well... although the public's impression of idols is that they are a separate label, according to the official occupational classification, idols are indeed among the ranks of singers, but unfortunately they are at the bottom of the contempt chain.
Ling Suisui practiced the movements again in front of the mirror and adjusted the angle of his smile.
In addition to carefully polishing her face shots, she was also very idle and had nothing to do.
Other stars were called in to record short clips and post-interviews, and Fruit TV also arranged various interactive materials. But you can imagine that she doesn't deserve this treatment.
Fortunately, during the main recording, both hosts took good care of her and pointed out that she was a new actor.
When it was other stars' turn, they took even longer to introduce themselves.
Chi Jialai is promoting his album, Li Yuanqing and Chu Ya each have a starring role in a drama that will be released soon, and a TV series co-starring Zhong Yao and Han Wenyan is being broadcast on Fruit Channel.
The guests on the stage each have their own promotional tasks, and only Tang Bing really fits the theme of this episode and is a good friend of the host Yin Ke.
This episode is a team competition system. The guests will be divided into two teams to form two "good friends alliances."
As for the method of dividing into teams, the guests are required to prepare in advance an "item that they would carry when going out with friends" and vote without disclosing the owner of the item to select the most caring friend in everyone's heart. The two guests with the highest number of votes will become captains and select team members.
The original guest configuration was 3v3, but due to the addition of Ling Sui, the program team changed it to 4v4 and asked assistant host Xiao Qian to also join in to play the game.
The item Ling Suisui prepared was a power bank that came with a built-in data cable. Unfortunately, she only ranked third in the voting, losing to the top two, Treasure Box and Fill Light.
——Forget about the first place, after all, the box that Li Yuanqing brought had everything. It can only be said that he took advantage of a loophole in the rules. It is not considered an "item" in the strict sense. But why did he get the fill light?
Moreover, the owner of this item is actually Chi Jia.
In this regard, he and Ying Nian really have a tacit understanding.
Ling Suisui is really silent. These male artists are really... each one has a heavier idol burden than the other.
So why is there the stereotype that "female celebrities love to compete for beauty"? It is obvious that every time it is just marketing accounts that are trying to make traffic by putting together a nine-square grid. If we really want to talk about peacocks spreading their tails, it has to be these male celebrities.
Ling Sui originally wanted to form a team with the teacher, but Li Yuanqing chose Tang Bing first when selecting team members, and Chi Jia chose her.
Well, it seems that the teacher and student have to separate.
After the grouping was completed, the members of Li Yuanqing's group included Tang Bing, Chu Ya and Xiao Qian, and the members of Chi Jia's group included Ling Suisui, Han Wenyan and Zhong Yao.
There are two men and two women, and their advantages in different types of games are evenly matched. The two captains often appear on variety shows and are very good at selecting people.
After the two teams confirmed their members, the guests went to change their clothes again.
The costumes used at the opening were for brand collaboration, and both the program team and the artists received advertising fees; when it came to the game session, they had to change into the team uniforms prepared by the program team, which made it more convenient for everyone to let go and create more comedic effects.
This segment alone took almost an hour to record. The audience in the audience was very patient and even shouted their names enthusiastically after they changed into their team uniforms and went on stage.
Well... you can remove the "them" too. Chi Jia's fans' voices are the loudest and the shouts of other fans are all drowned out.
Otherwise, why is it called a top-tier star? I heard that scalper tickets for this Fast 7 recording were sold for several thousand yuan, and the fans in the front area where they could only sit on the bench were sold for five figures.
Ling Sui changed her clothes and came to the stage. She didn't rush to sit down, but waited for Chi Jia to sit down first. Then she chose a seat in the corner diagonally above him.
The production team of "Fast 7" will not arrange seating charts for the guests. This kind of thing is tacitly understood by everyone and they are arranged according to their status.
After all the guests found their seats and sat down, the director team pushed up the nine-square board, and Yin Ke introduced the rules to everyone:
"The nine grids represent nine different games. The team that wins gets to occupy that point. The center point is the challenge game. As long as the victory conditions are met, both teams can win. The other points are confrontation games, and there can only be one winning team."
"If no group can form a straight line at the end, the team that occupies more points will win. Every member of the losing team must post a heartfelt Weibo post to praise the members of the winning team."
Yin Ke: "The two teams send representatives to play rock-paper-scissors to decide who gets to choose the competition event first."
Li Yuanqing went to the battle personally. Chi Jia looked at Ling Suisui and said, "Suisui, go ahead. I heard that you have good luck."
Ling Suisui:?
Ah, who told you that?
Goodness, just this one sentence put her in such a dilemma. Ling Suisui faced off against Li Yuanqing, and he even joked that this was a duel between senior and junior students in the film academy.
Ling Suisui asked him: "Brother, if I use scissors, what will you use?"
Li Yuanqing choked up. Why did this good duel of luck turn into a game of tactics?
He thought for a moment and said, "Then I'll play the stone."
Ling Sui observed his expression and nodded.
A second later, Li Yuanqing played cloth, and Ling Suisui played scissors as promised.
Li Yuanqing: …
I thought I could at least have a draw, but I never expected that I would fall right into the other party's trap.
Ling Suisui clasped his fists and said, "Thank you very much. Brother Qing loves me too much."
Li Yuanqing went back dejectedly, while Ling Suisui took the initiative.
They all thought that Chi Jia's group would definitely choose the center position first, but they chose the top middle point.
Ling Suisui explained in a private chat in the group: "For the sake of the program recording time, the challenge of the center point must be very simple, and this is a win-win point, so we leave it to the opponent to choose. If they don't choose it, we will not lose anything if we leave it to the end."
"Choose other positions first, and then decide the next strategic layout based on the game results."
The other team members gave her a thumbs up, saying that what she said made a lot of sense: people who use their brains are strong!
Ling Suisui paused, then continued: "Besides, the point game is 39 points, I know how to play this."
"Yes." Zhong Yao helped her add, "We played it during rehearsal, and Sui Sui's winning rate was very high, and he never lost a single game."
There is no need to think about it, Ling Sui will be the first to take the stage.
Seeing that she was the player participating in this puzzle game, Li Yuanqing wanted to cover his face.
In fact, the second player he had in mind was Ling Suisui, but he didn't expect Chi Jia to pick her first. How hateful.
There was no other way. Li Yuanqing smiled bitterly and said, "Teacher, how about you do it yourself?"
Tang Bing nodded. This kind of brain-stimulating game was just right for her. She was also unwilling to move in the physical competition at other points.
The rules of the 39-point game are very simple. There are 4 number cards from 1 to 8 in the card pool. Both sides take turns to play cards, and whoever reaches 39 points first wins.
If the total number of points on the field exceeds 39 when you play a card, the opponent wins.
The order of playing cards is still determined by rock-paper-scissors. Just as Ling Suisui was about to speak, Tang Bing interrupted:
"Don't ask, don't tell, don't tell me what to do, just play a simple one without any tricks."
...Okay, Ling Sui turned off the microphone in time.
After she considered it, she chose stone first, and Tang Bing also chose stone. She then played scissors, and Tang Bing played paper next, and she won.
Ling Sui's mouth corners curled up. He got the first move, this time it was a sure thing.
She took the lead and took a 1. Tang Bing looked at her and then took a 2. The total number on the field was 3.
Ling Suisui played 8, Tang Bing played 1, and the total number on the field was 12;
Ling Sui continued to play 8, and Tang Bing was about to take 1, but his eyes paused after seeing the number of remaining cards.
She calculated for a moment, then sighed, and realized that she had lost this time.
Tang Bing took out a 1 and played it next, Ling Suisui played an 8, and now the total number on the field is 29;
Seeing this, Yin Ke also understood.
If Tang Bing plays 1, all cards with number 1 will be used up. Then Ling Sui will play 8. After Tang Bing plays, the total number of cards will definitely exceed 39.
If Tang Bing didn't play 1 and chose other numbers, Ling Sui's next card would make 39, and she would still win.
Therefore, Tang Bing just randomly picked a 5, and the number came to 34. Ling Sui also played a 5, and the game ended successfully.
Li Yuanqing's group was dumbfounded. Although Chi Jia's group didn't understand it either, they were already cheering for the result of the game.
Li Yuanqing now demands to win two out of three games, and Chi Jia will certainly not agree. Isn't this cheating?
Although the noise at this time is also for the effect of the show, we can't let the other party change the rules at will. Everyone has the desire to win!
Ling Suisui leaned over and whispered to the team members, and then Chi Jia said:
"If you agree to let us choose one more square in the next round, we will agree to a best-of-three game. But there is a condition. We still have to go first in the next 39-point game."
Li Yuanqing agreed without a second thought, while Han Wenyan asked worriedly, "Can you do it? Will you fail?"
Before Ling Suisui could speak, Chi Jia said, "Impossible, I believe in Suisui."
Ling Suisui: "...Yes, don't worry."
As long as she is allowed to go first, she will not lose even if it is best of five or best of ten, let alone best of two out of three. She will not lose even if the game lasts until dark.
In the next hand, Xiaoqian came on the field. Ling Suisui played 1 first and Xiaoqian played 7. The total number on the field was 8.
Ling Sui's annual output is 4, Xiao Qian's output is 3, and the total number is 15;
Ling Sui drew a 6, Xiao Qian thought for a while, and then drew a 1, the sum of the numbers was 22;
Ling Sui was over 8 years old. Xiao Qian found that the numbers on the field had reached 30, so he turned to his teammates with a bitter face.
“We lost again.”
There are 2 or more number cards on the field. No matter what he plays, Ling Sui's next card can make up 39.
Li Yuanqing and Chu Ya were so surprised that they couldn't close their mouths. Tang Bing had already figured out something.
She asked: "Is it true that the first player to play 1 in this game will win?"
"Yes." Ling Suisui admitted, "39 points is very simple, there is a winning strategy."
She explained to the camera: "Play 1 first, and then see what card the other player plays. If you can get 12, 21, 30 by playing a certain card, then play that card. If you can't get it, then keep playing 8. In the end, you will find that you have won."
The other guests all said they had learned something, and some even came on stage to practice with cards to verify what she said.
The director team was both happy and sad inside - although this revelation of the skills was very brilliant, after it was broadcast, the 39-point game could no longer be played in the show, and they had to think of a new one.
Ling Sui returned to her seat and high-fived her teammates one by one to celebrate.
Zhong Yao was completely stunned by her performance. She thought, with Ling Sui's intelligence and talent, does she still need others to take care of her in the variety show?
She was the kind of person who could attract the audience's attention wherever she went, and in the later game sessions, Ling Suisui basically did not take any action, but gave the opportunity to perform to other team members.
Especially for projects that require two people to perform, even if Chi Jia hints with his eyes, Ling Sui will choose Han Wenyan and Zhong Yao to go up, and say that it is to help them promote the drama.
Zhong Yao was a little embarrassed. Although she has only been in the industry for a short time, she is at least more experienced than the "pure newcomer" Ling Suisui. Unexpectedly, she hasn't taken much care of Suisui, but instead she is considering things for her.
The game that Han Wenyan and Zhong Yao participated in was carrying water on the trampoline. They had to stand on the trampoline holding a plate full of water. The other team would send people to make trouble. At the end, the team with more water left would be the winner.
The two sides took turns attacking and defending. Han Wenyan jumped next to Li Yuanqing, while Zhong Yao had to resist Chu Ya's attack. Unfortunately, their group lost the game by a narrow margin.
After the two of them returned to their seats, Han Wenyan sighed and even said:
"Zhong Yao, Chu Ya is so thin. With your body size, how could you be tripped by her?"
——This is very embarrassing. Chu Ya is very thin, so does that mean Zhong Yao is very fat?
Zhong Yao just has a bigger frame, so she doesn't look as thin as Chu Ya who has a smaller frame, but she is definitely not fat. How could a female celebrity who can appear on camera be fat?
Han Wenyan also complained: "When we were filming, there was a scene where I had to pick you up. You don't know how hard it was for me at that time!"
Zhong Yao smiled awkwardly, and the expressions of the others were not very good either.
Please, this is a TV show, why is Han Wenyan’s EQ so low, or does he really think this kind of “joke” is interesting and funny?
I don’t know whether I should say that he is stupid or bad when he laughs at a girl who weighs less than 100 pounds for being fat.
Just as Yin Ke and Xiao Qian were racking their brains to smooth things over, Ling Suisui interjected.
"Is it really that difficult to carry a princess? I want to try it too."
Tang Bing was surprised at first, then smiled.
Not bad, so unique, just like she was when she was young.
Ling Suisui handed the microphone to Chi Jia and walked over to Zhong Yao.
Zhong Yao was about to say forget it, but when she saw Ling Suisui shaking his arms, she swallowed her words back.
She reminded quietly: "Sui Sui, I'm really a little heavy."
Ling Suisui said it was okay, in fact she has been exercising all the time.
She picked up Zhong Yao like a princess and even took two steps and turned around on the spot.
——See, what's so difficult about this?
If a male artist cannot hug his co-star, then instead of being picky about the female star’s figure, he should reflect on himself and find his own problems.
