This phenomenon made Min Xiaxia feel somewhat uncomfortable.
Why is someone from outside the industry whom I've never even heard of before generating more buzz than her?
However, she then thought that Alex Shen was, after all, a man.
As long as Qin Yan and Wen Yan don't steal her thunder, it's fine.
Alex Shen could even be a great target for a sedition.
With this in mind, Min Xiaxia decided to take the initiative and get on good terms with Alex Shen as soon as possible. That way, when the show officially starts filming, she can be the first to appear on screen with Alex Shen.
Soon, she walked to Xu He's seat.
Because Xu He is now past his prime and has lost his popularity, Min Xiaxia spoke to him in a very neutral tone.
"Hello, I get a little airsick and can't sit in the back. Could we switch seats? My seat is over there."
Xu He was a very easy-going person. Looking at the young girl in front of him, who was only a few years older than his niece, and considering that she was not feeling well, he still agreed to her request, even though her attitude was not very good.
With the seats changed, Min Xiaxia got what she wanted.
She took the initiative to greet Shen Jingchuan, who was standing to the side, her attitude completely different from when she had treated Xu He earlier.
"Hi, I'm Min Xiaxia. We only had a brief self-introduction earlier and didn't have a chance to chat much. I'm an actress, what about you?"
Min Xiaxia knew she was beautiful and had a sweet voice, so when she spoke to Shen Jingchuan, she raised her voice to its highest level ever.
But Shen Jingchuan wasn't going to indulge her!
He despised people like her who clearly showed two different faces in front of different people.
He didn't even lift his eyelids, and simply said "Get lost."
Then he slowly put on his sunglasses, crossed his arms, and began to close his eyes to rest.
Min Xiaxia thought she was hallucinating and stood frozen in place for a moment.
She's been in this industry for quite some time now, and she's never encountered a public figure who's told to "get lost" to her face.
Especially for a newcomer like him who's just starting out!
Min Xiaxia found it unbelievable.
"I didn't hear what you just said."
Shen Jingchuan sneered, speaking each word clearly and loudly, much louder than before.
"I said, get out. Get out! Did you hear me?"
In that instant, Min Xiaxia could feel several pairs of eyes suddenly appearing around her.
She felt extremely embarrassed, and her face suddenly turned bright red, like a pig's liver.
"Apologize! Otherwise, I'll make sure you can't survive here." Min Xiaxia whispered the last sentence to Shen Jingchuan, so only the two of them could hear it.
Shen Jingchuan chuckled: "Ha, you think you can make my life impossible? Who do you think you are?"
Shen Jingchuan also lowered his voice, and even his sunglasses couldn't hide the fierce look in his eyes:
"I have a bad temper, so don't fucking mess with me. Otherwise, even if you're a woman, I'll still beat you up. Get lost, understand?"
Dressed in black, black pants, and black sunglasses, his tone was like explosives. Min Xiaxia felt a tightness in her chest, unable to breathe. She gripped her phone tightly in her hand and returned to her original seat.
Wen Yan's seat was quite far from Shen Jingchuan's seat. Although she couldn't hear what the two of them were saying, she saw Min Xiaxia hurriedly get up and leave, her face looking unpleasant.
"What happened?"
Qin Yan, who was standing to the side, also shook her head, indicating that she didn't know either.
-
About three hours later, the plane finally landed.
After about two hours by bus, and finally by speedboat, everyone arrived at the filming location of the first season of "Jungle Diaries"—an uninhabited island.
The production team started the live broadcast immediately.
The director also gathered everyone on the beach and read out the rules.
"Welcome to the first chapter of 'Jungle Diary,' the Island Jungle Diary. Here, you will rely on your own hands and wisdom to complete a 7-day survival challenge."
During this period, the production team will not provide you with any form of assistance, and you are not allowed to bring any other items besides the clothes you are wearing and your sleeping bag.
Before the challenge officially begins, please voluntarily hand over any items in your pockets. Once the challenge begins, if any prohibited items are found, the production team will confiscate them and "remove" the challenger into the sea.
As soon as the director finished speaking, the production team began 'body searches' of the guests.
At the same time, the chat room exploded with excitement.
"Holy crap, is it this exciting? Breaking the rules actually results in being exiled to the sea, haha! Do the guests have to sign a waiver of their right to life or death with the production team to participate in this show?"
'Ahhh, I said I came to see my new husband, but I'm actually a little impatient to see how the show goes!'
"Stop posting! You're blocking my view of the live stream. The director looks like he's about to announce new rules."
The body search ended quickly, and the camera swiftly panned to the beach behind the director.
The production crew had laid out a cloth on that area, with all sorts of tools on it.
The director continued explaining the rules: "Before the challenge officially begins, each of you can choose one tool, but remember, each person can only choose one, no more. Although the production team has prepared many, I'd like to offer a friendly reminder: you should choose practical ones. Now, start choosing according to your positions. Time is tight; you must set up your campsite before dark, as the sea breeze can be very strong on the island at night. Good luck!!!"
It's already 1 p.m., and time is indeed running out.
Seeing that everyone was not very familiar with each other and lacked rapport, Jing Hao, who was standing at the head of the group and the oldest, quickly suggested:
"This isn't an individual competition, so it mainly relies on teamwork. Therefore, I suggest everyone choose tools that are useful to everyone and hand them in as collective property for everyone to use. What do you think?"
Jing Hao's words made a lot of sense, and everyone nodded in agreement.
But at that moment, Min Xiaxia suddenly expressed a different opinion.
"We'll see, after all, we don't know what the production team has prepared for us yet."
In a variety show with multiple participants, Min Xiaxia felt that she had to be different from the others in order to be remembered by the audience and get more screen time.
Clearly, her idea was correct.
As soon as she spoke, the live chat became lively.
'What the heck? How can Min Xiaxia have such a lack of team spirit?'
'Exactly, everyone else is nodding in agreement, why is she the only one who doesn't?'
'Hehe, you made yourself sound so selfless before. Our Xiaxia is just being sincere, okay? What if some of those who outwardly agree end up choosing only what benefits them? That would be a real slap in the face.'
"Exactly, sincerity is the ultimate weapon. She said it depends on the situation, not that she disagreed. Why are you all making such a big deal out of it! Are you jealous that others are more sincere than you?"
'It's just a script; if it doesn't have any gimmicks, who would watch it if it's just ordinary?'
