Chapter 9
After dinner, the program staff couldn't help but remind Gu Chen: "Well... Mr. Gu, it's evening, don't you think you should..." go through the procedures?
How can a married couple not contact each other for a day? Do they need the production team to help them build a relationship? He almost cried.
"Yeah, I understand." Gu Chen nodded, "But it's still early."
As the dusk fell, the production team built a bonfire in the yard, which was like a bonfire party. Everyone was complimenting each other and asking each other to show off their skills. Tonight was indeed the time for these celebrities or ordinary people to come to the show and show themselves in front of the camera.
Gu Chen still chose a seat in the corner. The movie actress Jiang Shuli in the middle had been pushed up to perform a classical dance, and the artist from Country H played a Tang flute to accompany her.
There was a gentle breeze on the spring night, and Gu Chen felt more relaxed and at ease here, accompanied by singing and dancing.
After the beautiful dance full of ancient charm, Gu Chen raised his hand and applauded her. Everyone also applauded and cheered. During the transition in the middle of the show, amid the hustle and bustle, Gu Chen finally called Li Tingqin via video as requested by the program team.
"Mr. Li, good morning." It was exactly eight o'clock in the morning and the sun was shining brightly.
Li Tingqin seemed to be sitting in the car, listening to his secretary's work report. Gu Chen's call made him raise his hand to silence the secretary.
He said, "Good evening." He tried his best to concentrate and listen to the environment on Gu Chen's side. It felt very lively. However, although Gu Chen was right next to those guests, he had a calm aura about him.
He asked, "Are you carrying out any activities over there?" The young man had a pair of beautiful eyes, but Li Tingqin had only video chatted with him twice, and he found that there was a kind of loneliness in those eyes. Did he feel lonely when he suddenly called him in the crowd at night?
Gu Chen replied, "Yes, they are performing and it's very lively." After coming here, Gu Chen felt a little lonely in the leisure, but it was not because he, as a passerby, envied these people's liveliness, but to the whole world, he was just a passerby.
They stared at each other silently for a few seconds across the screen and 12 time zones. Gu Chen felt that the man opposite him had a look that could see through people.
Du Ruiqing was sharp-eyed. When he saw Gu Chen was video chatting, he quickly walked over and said, "Little Gu, do you want to perform something? You haven't had any shots today..." He was racking his brains to solve the mystery of who Gu Chen's husband was.
Moreover, Gu Chen didn't know how to do anything in high school, let alone perform on stage. Even when the teacher asked him to answer a question, he would be so nervous that his face would turn red. If he was asked to perform on stage, I really don't know how he would embarrass himself.
Li Tingqin heard Du Ruiqing's voice and asked, "Are you going to go on stage soon?"
Gu Chen smiled and said, "Of course not, I'm an audience member." After retiring, do you still have to go on stage to perform for the audience? There are too many topics like this in the entertainment industry. He is almost sick of being a star.
He glanced at Du Ruiqing who came over, turned off the camera, and switched to voice call. Then he sighed and said to Du Ruiqing frankly: "No need, Xiao Du, I don't know anything, you guys just perform."
Du Ruiqing froze when she saw Gu Chen's phone screen. Who would mark their husband as "Mr. Li"? And Gu Chen actually admitted so frankly that he didn't know anything? Would a good-for-nothing who married into a wealthy family really not be ridiculed?
Li Tingqin heard Gu Chen say this and comforted him, "Well, don't force yourself." Indeed, Xiao Gu is a social phobic and doesn't even want to show his face on the show, let alone perform. I'm really afraid that Xiao Gu will be bullied on the show. For example, what the person next to him said made him frown.
With that in mind, he added, "If you're not happy participating, it's okay to just quit."
Du Ruiqing: “?” You two really don’t care about the penalty at all.
Gu Chen smiled and said, "I'm very happy." How can I be happy when I'm just a passerby on the show and have to watch performances?
After seeing Gu Chen hang up the phone, Du Ruiqing lost interest. He was busy showing himself in front of the camera and stunning the audience to gain fans. He didn't have time to disturb Gu Chen afterwards.
Du Ruiqing sang a song, Lin Yisu played a pipa piece for everyone, Lu Qingyue performed a hip-hop dance, Yu Xingzhou played the guitar and sang an original song for everyone, Mu Yunting...
Gu Chen sat on the sofa next to them, quietly serving as a background, admiring the performance from time to time, and occasionally looking up to applaud them. It was really pleasant to not have to jump on the stage.
The day's recording finally ended, everyone went back to their rooms, and the night rest scenes were no longer broadcast live.
Taking advantage of the popularity of the event, the program crew actually cut out a refined version of the day's live broadcast content at around 11pm.
Du Ruiqing took a rough look at the content and felt that it was better for Gu Chen not to go up and make a fool of himself. There was really no need to give him any shots.
The refined version that came out now is also good. Gu Chen did not show his face once. Even during the bonfire party at night, he was only photographed in the lower half of the picture leaning on the sofa and clapping. If you don’t look carefully, you won’t notice that there is a person sitting there. Just like him in high school, he has no sense of existence at all. He is the kind of person who is very lonely, silent and unsociable.
But after watching for a long time, he suddenly felt strange. He invited Gu Chen to the show to make Gu Chen look bad everywhere and make people talk about him "marrying high and swallowing needles". It was true that Gu Chen's husband did not accompany her to the show, but he could not feel Gu Chen's misery and loneliness at all?
Forget it, it must be that Gu Chen's presence is too low. After all, you can't expect a passerby to make the audience feel too much, right?
He thought about it seriously for a long time and felt that he could change the topic to Gu Chen's lack of tact and unsociability. Should he hire more Internet users?
But before he could figure out what was going on, a post popped up in the next second and it made him feel dizzy: [Mr. Gu only lasted 1 minute and 57 seconds today! But after digging deeper into this 1 minute and 57 seconds, I think he is even more mysterious! ]
Du Ruiqing: “?”
He couldn't help but click in to read, and saw the blogger's analysis: [First, Mr. Gu and Mr. Li in the morning, although these two had only played video, it was obvious that they were a marriage of equally powerful businessmen, and it was obvious that they didn't take the program team seriously. ]
[Second, it was the half second when Mr. Gu passed by Lu Qingyue and Yu Xingzhou. Yes, only half a second. His cup was knocked over, and he picked it up and walked away. Really, just this half a second is enough to make him a god.]
[Third, how could Lu Qingyue, who is so arrogant and doesn't even listen to his boss's account, be so enthusiastic to pour tea for Mr. Gu? It's hard to imagine what Mr. Gu's status is in the circle. ]
[Fourth, Lu Qingyue and Yu Xingzhou are both big names, but I didn't expect them to be rejected by the program team. And Mr. Gu's partner doesn't need to show up, and he doesn't even need to show his face. The program team that always invites guests doesn't dare to say a word.]
[Fifth, during the evening performances, apart from Du Ruiqing, who seemed to have emotional intelligence but actually had no emotional intelligence, who insisted on asking Mr. Gu to perform, who else dared to ask Mr. Gu to perform? Mr. Gu was sitting downstairs, and he was just an invited sponsor watching the art performance. Really, what big shot would go up there to sing and dance and perform? ]
[The boss you think you are: Go up and show off your skills and amaze everyone. The real boss: What kind of art performance is this? It's really ugly. Mr. Gu didn't even clap twice. ]
Du Ruiqing thought that each of these points seemed to make sense, and he felt that there was nothing wrong with them.
"???" He suddenly realized, something is wrong! This is his little follower Gu Chen? !
He was so angry that he almost crushed his phone!!!
Seeing his expression, Qiao Kunping came over, took out his phone, took a look, and said, "You are checking Gu Chen's messages again. I've already told you, if you like him, go and seduce him. You know what? The three of us should be very interesting."
Du Ruiqing: “…” I got even angrier at the moment and didn’t know what to do.
The Internet noticed that Gu Chen's group was still discussing it, and compared to the previous lack of attention, it has fermented on a small scale:
[Mr. Gu really has good taste. The ranking of the programs in his mind is exactly the same as the one you fans tore out.]
There were a lot of fans paying attention to everyone's impromptu performances tonight, and they even ranked the performance levels.
[Wait a minute, you are the worm living in Mr. Gu's heart? Do you know his ranking? ]
[Look, Mr. Gu clapped 13 times for the Pipa of the Best Actress, 10 times for Jiang Shuli's Dance, and 8 times for Yu Xingzhou's Folk Song... The number of times he clapped is exactly the same as the rankings you have listed. If you don't believe me, count them yourself. Just tell me, is Mr. Gu's appreciation ability top-notch? ]
[??? You guys are poisonous, right? You can even count these things? ]
[1 minute and 57 seconds, one second less than the last time, but there is really not a single second of wasted film? Awesome. ]
[Hahahaha, elegant, really elegant. But have you forgotten that this is a dating variety show 2333]
[I don’t care what variety show it is. Just tell me, is Mr. Gu the mysterious boss hidden in the program group? ]
[Hahahaha, which Gu Group come and claim your president~]
The live broadcast had ended. Gu Chen used the microwave in the villa's kitchen to heat a cup of milk and took it back to his room. He met Lu Qingyue on the way.
Lu Qingyue said very positively: "Mr. Gu, what's your Weibo ID? Let's follow each other."
Gu Chen said: "Sorry Xiao Lu, I don't have a Weibo account."
Seeing Lu Qingyue looking at him eagerly, he patiently explained: "I'm not trying to be perfunctory with you. It's really because there are too many information flows on social media now, which can easily disturb my rest."
Lu Qingyue felt very disappointed. He was still thinking about interacting with Mr. Gu on Weibo, but he also said, "Okay, then let's add WeChat."
After dealing with Lu Qingyue, Gu Chen returned to his room and closed the door, feeling happy.
There were no accidents during the live broadcast that day, and no one noticed me. It seemed that today was just another day of being an ordinary person.
