Chapter 59



July 1st, Xiangcheng

Du Yuanzhe, Liu Xu and others arrived in Xiangcheng at noon. According to the TV station's arrangement, they would start rehearsing at 3 pm and officially start recording at 7 pm.

"Weekend Entertainment" is an indoor variety show, and all games are played indoors. This type of variety show is more relaxed than a reality show.

However, rehearsal and recording will take at least six or seven hours, so even if it's easy, it won't be that easy. If you play some physically demanding games, it will be very tiring.

After the meal, there was only one hour left before the rehearsal, so several people stayed in the hotel and did not go out.

Du Yuanzhe smiled and said, "Brother Liu, Xiaopang, I heard there is a gym downstairs in the hotel. Didn't you ask me to exercise there? Let's go and have a look together?"

Hearing this, Liu Xu and Xiao Pang both shuddered.

Liu Xu said unnaturally: "Everything is too much or too little. Yuanzhe, you were exercising for just the right amount of time. Just keep the original frequency."

Xiaopang nodded repeatedly and agreed, "Brother Liu is right. Besides, we just finished eating. The Internet says that we can't do strenuous exercise after eating."

Du Yuanzhe: "Since we have nothing to do, we can exercise less. It won't affect our health."

Liu Xu still shook his head: "We are not professionals, it is difficult to grasp the right degree. The variety show recording later will be very tiring. You should have a good rest and conserve your energy to participate in the next variety show."

Du Yuanzhe said regretfully: "Forget it, let's talk about it when we return to Yancheng."

Liu Xu and the other person breathed a sigh of relief for a moment; they really didn't want to go to the gym with Du Yuanzhe.

Since he asked Du Yuanzhe to exercise more the day before yesterday, he pulled Liu Xu and Xiaopang to exercise together that afternoon, and required the two of them to exercise for the same time as him.

If Du Yuanzhe stayed in the gym for two hours, the two of them had to stay there for two hours as well and could not leave early. Moreover, Du Yuanzhe found a coach for both of them to strictly control their training progress.

Liu Xu is middle-aged and has no exercise habit, so he is very weak. Not to mention Xiao Pang, his fat body speaks for itself.

Du Yuanzhe dragged them to the gym for two days. They felt like they were dying. They had to support each other when they walked out of the gym.

However, Du Yuanzhe was still making sarcastic remarks: "In the entire entertainment industry, you won't find an artist as generous as me in giving gym memberships to agents and assistants. I even hired a coach for you. Don't let me down."

Liu Xu and Xiaopang's faces turned pale.

This was the first time they realized how vengeful Du Yuanzhe was. Du Yuanzhe bought them a one-month gym membership. His intention was obvious: they had to exercise for a month before he would calm down.

They have to record a program today, and the two of them finally have a day off. Of course, they don’t want to be dragged into the gym by Du Yuanzhe again.

The two left Du Yuanzhe's room. Fatty felt his sore legs and said with a bitter face, "Brother Liu, can you think of a way to calm Brother Zhe down? I asked him to exercise for his own good, not to mock him."

Liu Xu also had a sad face: "I didn't mock him. Who knew this guy was so petty."

"What should we do? If this continues for a month, I will die."

Xiaopang touched his soft belly. He was reluctant to part with the fat on his body. He grew it with his own own ability, so why should he lose it?

Liu Xu said: "He is still angry now. Let's just deal with it for a few days and it will be fine after this period of time passes."

If other people knew about this, they would probably find it ridiculous.

Other people have agents supervising artists’ training, but here it’s completely the other way around.

He used to be happy that Du Yuanzhe had self-control and didn't need his supervision, but now he is troubled by his self-discipline.

......

At 3 p.m., Xiangcheng TV

Jin Hao and Du Yuanzhe hugged each other and said, "Yuanzhe, long time no see."

Du Yuanzhe said with a smile: "I'm here to play with Teacher Jin, please go easy on me."

"Based on our friendship, that's for sure."

Jin Hao then greeted Zheng Xiao, Yang Shiyao and You Yingxue. These three people knew Jin Hao and it was not their first time to appear on "Weekend Entertainment".

After a few pleasantries, Jin Hao handed them the script and told them the schedule for today's rehearsal.

"Weekend Entertainment" is not a reality show. This kind of variety show rarely deviates from the script. Moreover, it is recorded, so if there is a mistake, it can be started again, and the director controls the entire rhythm.

Du Yuanzhe has watched "Weekend Entertainment" and is quite familiar with its process. At the beginning, the guests will come on stage to perform, then there is interaction time, and then they play various games until the end of the show.

This process has been going on for a long time and there is nothing new. The reason why the ratings are so high is that, on the one hand, the audience is accustomed to the hosting of Jin Hao and others, and on the other hand, most of the people on "Weekend Entertainment" are the most popular people now, which can also drive up the ratings.

Jin Hao said, "'The Legend of Yunlan' is a fairy tale drama. The director plans to have you all wear ancient costumes and perform singing. The four of you will sing a song."

Hearing this, Zheng Xiao frowned and looked at Yang Shiyao with dissatisfaction.

Logically, he should sing a song with Yang Shiyao, but now there are four of them together. He suspects that Yang Shiyao's team is behind this.

But he couldn't ask such questions, he could only curse Yang Shiyao in his heart. He wanted to hype up the couple for publicity, which would be good for both of them. He didn't know why she was being so reserved and why she had to pretend to be noble.

No one else has any objection to the singing. Even the songs are selected by the program team. Usually, they are not sung live, but recorded in advance.

Du Yuanzhe could sing live, but everyone else was lip-syncing, and he couldn't be the only one singing live. He wouldn't do something that would offend others.

But they didn't have to worry about that during the rehearsal, the director let them perform freely.

Jin Hao was very serious. Even though he was already familiar with the procedures, he still went over them bit by bit. After everything was agreed upon, Du Yuanzhe and the others went to change their clothes.

Ten minutes later, the rehearsal officially began.

Jin Hao and another female host Lulu stood on the stage and gave their opening remarks. Soon the accompaniment sounded, and Yang Shiyao, who was waiting backstage, came on stage first, followed by Zheng Xiao and others.

This song was not difficult at all for Du Yuanzhe. Yang Shiyao and You Yingxue sang well too, at least they didn't sing out of tune.

The director said, "There's no need to record this song in advance. Just let them sing it live."

The assistant was worried: "They are not professional singers, will there be any accidents?"

"Because they are unprofessional, the audience will not care even if there are mistakes, but will feel that they are more real."

Jin Hao was soon notified to sing live, but since he was still in rehearsal, he did not disrupt the rhythm, but waited until the rehearsal was over before telling Du Yuanzhe and others about it.

Zheng Xiao was the first to say, "Teacher Jin, don't worry, we will definitely sing well."

Jin Hao smiled and said, "Ah Xiao was a singer before, so there will be no problem."

Yang Shiyao pretended to be dissatisfied and said, "Teacher Jin thinks there is something wrong with us?"

Jin Hao and Yang Shiyao were very familiar with each other, and he joked, "I'm not worried about Yuanzhe and Yingxue, I'm just worried that you might fail."

Yang Shiyao: "Absolutely impossible, I am a McBride."

Jin Hao said: "Then I will wait and see."

They rehearsed the song a few more times, and then it was time to officially record it.

7pm

Jin Hao and Lulu stood on the stage, skillfully delivering the opening remarks they say every week. The stage was already full of audience members. They were all fans who had received the news in advance to interact with their idols up close. Everyone was holding a light sign in their hands, and at a glance, it was obvious that Yang Shiyao had the most fans.

As Jin Hao invited the guests to come out, the accompaniment began to play.

The moment Yang Shiyao came out with a microphone, the whole audience was screaming. Yang Shiyao smiled and greeted her fans.

Du Yuanzhe followed Zheng Xiao. When it was his turn to sing the lyrics, he immediately walked out singing, and the audience cheered out of respect.

He was wearing a white robe, similar to the attire of ancient scholars, and the program crew also gave him a folding fan to suit the occasion, but his hair was still short, which made him look a little out of place.

But the audience doesn't care about all this, they are satisfied as long as they see handsome guys and don't care whether the clothes are suitable or not.

Four people stood side by side on the stage. Du Yuanzhe listened to the accompaniment attentively. After Zheng Xiao finished singing, it was his part. Then... he heard Zheng Xiao's voice broke.

The sound is really broken.

He couldn't hit the high notes.

Zheng Xiao's face turned ugly in an instant.

Du Yuanzhe ignored this matter, he sang the next sentence in time, and only paid attention to Zheng Xiao after he finished singing his part steadily. Fortunately, he still remembered to manage his expression, and his complexion had recovered. However, Du Yuanzhe saw him give a subtle wink to the audience, and then his agent bowed and left.

Du Yuanzhe knew what he was going to do without having to guess.

It's nothing more than talking to the director about re-recording the singing part. That's the advantage of recording. If there's any mistake, just do it again.

However, they didn't seem to discuss it. After singing a song, Jin Hao asked several people to introduce themselves and didn't mention anything about re-recording.

After a while, agent Zheng Xiao came back, and from the look on his face one could tell that it had not been successful.

Du Yuanzhe smiled silently, Zheng Xiao's face was not useful.

After listening to the four people's self-introductions, Jin Hao asked, "How did Yaoyao decide to play the role of Yun Lan?"

They are here to promote the TV series, and they will start by asking some questions related to the TV series.

Yang Shiyao said: "Director Wang found me and told me there was a role that was very suitable for me and asked me to consider it. I happened to be a fan of the book "The Legend of Yun Lan", so when I heard that I was going to play the role of Yun Lan, I agreed without hesitation."

Jin Hao laughed and said, "Does this count as me playing my favorite paper man?"

Yang Shiyao: “Really.”

Jin Hao then asked Zheng Xiao: "This is Xiao's first time playing the male lead in a fairy tale drama. How does it feel different from before?"

Zheng Xiao calmed down his irritable mood and said with a smile: "It feels very cool. There are many scenes in fairy tale dramas that require wire suspension, and they are always flying in the sky. I think it is very cool."

"Haha, it sounds like Xiao still has a childlike innocence."

"When I was a kid, I dreamed of becoming a pilot, and now I have achieved a small part of my dream."

Lulu smiled and said, "One is flying a plane, and the other is flying with a sword. They seem to be similar. They are both flying."

Jin Hao said: "Hearing you say that, it seems that the sword flying is even more handsome, what do you think, Yuanzhe?"

The topic naturally turned to Du Yuanzhe.

Du Yuanzhe said: "Sword flying is certainly cool, but it's a pity that I have never experienced it."

Lulu asked curiously, "Then how do you fly?"

"I am the Demon Lord. It is more in line with my style to appear suddenly and disappear suddenly."

Several people were amused. Yang Shiyao said, "Yes, it disappears like smoke and you can't even find it. I always think this is cooler. If you can't fly past the enemy with the sword, you will be caught."

Du Yuanzhe complained: "That's because your realm was low at the beginning. After you become a real person, no one can catch up with you."

Yang Shiyao: "Now that I think about it, Yuanzhe is still more comfortable. Apart from some early memories, he has always been invincible, handsome from the beginning to the end."

Du Yuanzhe added quietly, "In the end, I died in your hands."

Yang Shiyao forcibly changed the topic: "You have revealed the spoilers. Director Wang will not forgive you."

Du Yuanzhe's face was filled with an expression of regret. He turned his head and looked at Jin Hao: "Teacher Jin, given our relationship, you can't bear to see me being beaten to death by Director Wang, right?"

Jin Hao said sincerely: "Of course, I have the final say on this part, I will definitely cut it out for you."

Afterwards, they interviewed You Yingxue. They chatted like this for more than 20 minutes, and then they started playing games.

The first game is a physical game. The six of them are divided into two teams, with one person from each team. Both people are tied up with elastic ropes around their waists. There is a piece of cake opposite them. Whoever eats the cake first wins the game.

Du Yuanzhe, Yang Shiyao and Lulu are in one group, and the other three are in another group.

Jin Hao said: "Each team will send two players to play two games. If the score is tied at 1-1, we will play an extra game."

The contestants of Du Yuanzhe's team are of course Du Yuanzhe and Yang Shiyao.

On Jin Hao's side are Zheng Xiao and You Yingxue.

Jin Hao smiled and said, "It seems that this is an internal struggle within "The Legend of Yun Lan"."

Lulu added: "It's still a competition between Qianying Entertainment and Huanxing Entertainment."

Jin Hao and the other man looked at each other and said with a sly smile, "We have to watch the show carefully."

The audience was amused by the two of them.

The first to come out were Yang Shiyao and You Yingxue. Both of them had elastic ropes tied around their waists. As Jin Hao shouted "start", they both walked towards the table where the cake was placed.

Lulu touched her waist and said enviously, "Compared to them, I have a waist like a bucket."

Jin Hao was shocked: "Is there any need to compare? I thought you already knew it?"

Lulu's expression froze, and she gritted her teeth and said, "Teacher Jin, do your family members know that you are so talkative?"

Jin Hao said proudly: "My family members often praise me for my good talk and ask me to speak less in the future to avoid exposing my strengths."

Puff——

Du Yuanzhe couldn't help laughing out loud.

Jin Hao pretended to be surprised: "What are you laughing at, Yuanzhe?"

Du Yuanzhe covered up and said, "I saw that Sister Shiyao was about to win, and I was happy."

As soon as he finished speaking, Yang Shiyao ate the cake.

Lulu immediately cheered, high-fived Du Yuanzhe, and ran over to hug Yang Shiyao: "Shiyao, you are awesome."

Jin Hao looked unconvinced, patted Zheng Xiao on the shoulder and said, "Xiao, everything depends on you, you have to do your best."

What a joke!

Zheng Xiao really wanted to curse the program crew, which idiot came up with this game?

He still had some self-awareness and didn't think he could beat Du Yuanzhe.

The two walked to the middle and waited for the staff to tie the bungee rope to them.

Zheng Xiao put his hands together in a pleading gesture, saying, "Yuanzhe, please let me go."

A real man can bend and stretch. Let’s get through this hurdle first.

Du Yuanzhe smiled and said, "Brother Xiao is too modest. I dare not look down on you."

Lulu shouted, "Yuanzhe, don't be fooled by his show of weakness. You must go all out."

Du Yuanzhe waved his fist vigorously to show that he would do his best.

Zheng Xiao's face turned black.
