Chapter 138 Classic Section
VIER's fans had already heard from other fans who participated in the recording of Hengxiang TV's "Monday High High High" that this segment was something to look forward to, so they were all glued to their TVs early on the day of the broadcast. This variety show will be broadcast on TV first, and then streamed online the next day.
Upon hearing the "Sleeping Prank Battle" plan, fans immediately perked up, and even loyal viewers of the show became interested.
This is a classic segment of the show, but it's more suitable for special episodes with a larger cast and more interesting content.
In recent months, almost all the games have been played by celebrities competing against each other, and this segment has been neglected for a long time.
Mo Yixin is a loyal fan of the show and participates in various topics and suggestions. When she encounters a segment that is not interesting, she feels heartbroken, just like a shareholder of the production team. She warmly welcomes any guest or segment that can bring ratings and profits.
Take VIER for example.
As usual, she turned on the TV and took out her ratings monitoring software to check the ratings in real time.
She had certainly heard of VIER, and there were quite a few fans around her who liked VIER. Although she was someone who only liked watching game variety shows and had no interest in talent shows or idols, she developed a liking for the team after learning that VIER would be appearing on "Monday High High High".
The show had just aired when it achieved very high ratings, which greatly increased Mo Yixin's popularity.
With recent episodes seeing declining ratings, many fans of rival shows have been predicting the show's demise. However, VIER's arrival has proven them wrong.
Mo Yixin continued watching with great delight. When the prank segment about sleeping came on, she was so surprised that her eyes widened. The ratings were rising too dramatically.
Fans on the show's forum have already posted ratings charts from previous episodes featuring this segment for comparison, and VIER's episode has a clear advantage in ratings this time.
In Mo Yixin's eyes now, these six people are no longer an ordinary group; they are a group that radiates golden light!
She continued reading.
When the VCR is played, their reactions as they watch it live in the studio are shown in the lower right corner. They are very engaged in this segment. Even before the VCR starts playing, the people in the frame are making all sorts of surprised and funny expressions, making people curious about what exactly happened to them in this segment.
The VIER plane landed the night before the show's recording, and they checked into a hotel in six adjacent rooms on the same floor.
The production team called each person into a room alone to discuss the program flow in advance. The whole process was very serious, and each member of VIER listened and cooperated professionally. After the process was completed, the director also put aside his serious demeanor and chatted with the members in a natural manner.
He casually steered the conversation towards getting up: "What's the last thing you want to see after you wake up?"
Hsu Yu: "I want to wake up naturally. I have a terrible temper when I wake up, but they all ignore me and are very enthusiastic about waking me up."
The director laughed and said, "It's because you hate being woken up by others."
Xu You: "Yes."
Xu You looked speechless in the reaction box, as if everyone could already foresee his fate.
Similar questions were asked to everyone.
They all received the same answer.
The production team wrote the answers on slips of paper, put them into a sphere, and placed it in the lottery box.
3:30 a.m. the next day.
Standing in front of the camera, the director held a lottery box and whispered, "Now, we have room cards for each member of VIER. The tense and exciting sleep prank battle is about to begin! The first to participate is, of course, VIER's leader, Lin Ruohe. Let's draw a number to see what kind of wake-up call he will face!"
The director twirled his hand in the lottery box, slowly took out a small ball, opened it, and saw the words: "Wake up with the sound of mosquitoes."
The video immediately traces back to the scene where the "mosquito sound" was first mentioned.
Meng Fanxi: "I hate the sound of mosquitoes or any insects when I sleep, it's too torturous."
As a result, the director used the "mosquito sound" to wake up Lin Ruohe.
The audience in the background laughed loudly, and in the reaction box, Meng Fanxi showed a trembling expression, hiding to the side, not daring to look at Lin Ruohe.
Lin Ruohe looked at Meng Fanxi with "anger".
The two were very good at creating a good effect, and the audience in front of the TV couldn't stop laughing.
The production team quietly entered Lin Ruohe's room, and the filming equipment clearly recorded that Lin Ruohe was lying on one side, deep in sleep.
Viewers couldn't help but marvel at her natural good looks; even when she's asleep, she looks beautiful.
The production team surrounded Lin Ruo and the pillow with small, fist-sized sound equipment that they had prepared beforehand, playing the sound in 360 degrees. The room was silent until suddenly the sound of several, or even swarms of, mosquitoes rang out. The realistic sound made even the viewers in front of the TV frown.
The production team stood quietly at the foot of the bed, filming. Lin Ruohe, who was asleep, frowned slightly and still didn't open her eyes. She just reached out and slapped her face hard, showing no mercy. The sound was particularly loud in the room, and the action was especially funny.
The VIERs watching the video were already laughing so hard they lost all control of their expressions in the reaction box.
The mosquitoes kept buzzing, and annoyed, he intensified his slapping, hitting his other cheek with his hand.
Meng Fanxi: "This is how I feel when I hear a mosquito buzzing, hahaha..."
Lin Ruohe: "The production team is too mean."
Lin Ruohe's movements were so loud that the two speakers on the edge of the pillow fell off. The sound of the falling objects woke Lin Ruohe from her daze, and she opened her eyes a crack.
Seeing the camera lights pointing directly at him and several figures standing at the foot of the bed, he was startled and froze in place.
The production team turned on the lights, and after adjusting to the light, Lin Ruohe realized what had happened.
His terrified and out-of-control expression was captured in a clear screenshot and displayed on the studio screen, leaving Lin Ruohe speechless.
In the next scene, Lin Ruohe stood in the hotel corridor. The production team let him choose anyone at random, and after the selection was made, they would draw a method to wake him up.
Lin Ruohe pondered for a moment: "This is too offensive. I need to find someone who definitely won't scold me."
"Gu Huailang, I guess."
The director asked, "You're closest to Gu Huailang?"
Lin Ruohe: "He doesn't talk much, and even when he's angry, he just sulks."
In other words, it has the weakest attack power.
Gu Huailang in the reaction box: ...
Lin Ruohe drew a small ball, opened it, and found that it read: Eat ice cream.
Lin Ruohe: "Who eats ice cream while sleeping?"
The production team didn't answer, but took out ice cream from the insulated box and handed it to Lin Ruohe.
The latter gripped the ice cream tightly, mentally prepared himself, and went inside.
The "initiator" of the ice cream was later revealed in a video.
Ren Yuchen: "I remember something that left a deep impression on me before. Before going to bed, I said that I really, really wanted to eat ice cream. When I woke up, my family actually bought me ice cream. So at that time, I felt that going to bed was a wonderful thing, and my wish could be fulfilled when I woke up."
Gu Huailang complained to the production team in the studio: "You used such positive and touching things to prank people. How cruel of you!"
In the video, Lin Ruohe quietly approached, almost tripping over something because she didn't see it clearly.
Gu Huailang's suitcase was not placed in an open space, but was open next to the bed. If Lin Ruohe had not reacted quickly, he would have either fallen or stepped into the suitcase and woke Gu Huailang up.
Lin Ruo whispered to the camera that followed her into the room, "Huai Lang even set up a hidden weapon mechanism himself."
He tore open the plastic bag containing the ice cream, making a loud noise. He regretted not opening it from the outside first, as the ice cream had already melted a bit.
Lin Ruohe quickly brought the ice cream to Gu Huailang's lips, her expression as ferocious as if she were feeding him from the jaws of a tiger. However, before the ice cream could even reach Gu Huailang's mouth, the melting ice water had already dripped onto his face. When the ice cream touched the corner of Gu Huailang's mouth, his mouth actually moved slightly.
She woke up immediately and saw someone standing by the bed. She was so frightened that she bumped her head against the headboard. Luckily, the headboard was made of soft fabric.
As the lights came on, Gu Huailang stared intently at the figure beside the bed, not daring to blink.
"Captain?" his incredulous voice rang out. "Am I dreaming?"
He touched the ice cream dripping from his face, his eyebrows furrowed in a deep frown, and his face showed a look of astonishment that his fans had never seen before. Even Meng Fanxi and the others found it strange and funny.
It was as if he had questioned the entire world at that moment, and the viewers were laughing so hard they couldn't stand up straight.
The scene shifts, and Gu Huailang glances at Lin Ruohe beside him with resentment.
After thinking it over, I decided to choose Ren Yuchen next.
He defiantly pulled out the small ball from the box.
The paper read: Carry him on your back.
Gu Huailang: "...?"
This is what Zhang Yang mentioned in an interview. His expression at the time was as if he was lost in memories. "When I was little, my brother had a lot of time to spend with me. He would take me to many places to play. When I got tired of playing, he would carry me back on his back. I would fall asleep while he was carrying me, and when I woke up, I felt like I had had a very fulfilling day."
His face was filled with fond memories, which now became one of the ways the members would prank him.
Gu Huailang regretted choosing Ren Yuchen. He should have chosen Meng Fanxi instead. At least he could imagine Meng Fanxi's expression; she would probably be confused, but not too angry.
But Ren Yuchen, he really couldn't figure out his temper. After all, Ren Yuchen was already awake before he woke up, and he had no idea whether Ren Yuchen would be grumpy when he woke up.
People are always a little afraid of the unknown. Gu Huailang made up his mind and went into Ren Yuchen's room.
Under the camera's light, you can see the room's layout, which is almost unchanged from before you moved in. Everything has been packed into suitcases and placed against the wall.
Ren Yuchen lay on his back on the bed, which was the perfect position to be carried on his back.
Gu Huailang just wanted to end this part as soon as possible; it felt more like he was being pranked.
In one swift motion, he tried to carry Ren Yuchen on his back, but he only managed to touch Ren's arm.
Then a cold, emotionless voice rang out clearly: "What are you doing?"
The voice sounded as if it were coming from someone who was lying down and sleeping, with a slightly hoarse tone, but to Gu Huailang it was like another cold ice cream sticking to his face.
Gu Huailang was startled.
Lin Ruohe was silently suppressing a laugh in the corner.
