Xiao He frowned slightly.
How could this production team be so outrageous?
Fortunately, his main job now is acting, and neither he nor Sister Liu have any intention of participating in any variety shows.
Needless to say, Xiao He doesn't really want the traffic from this variety show; what he wants is the fame of the character who killed the killer and the character after the killer. Participating in the variety show won't help him at all.
Liu Rulan's reasoning was even simpler: she felt that actors participating in variety shows was essentially a form of retirement planning.
Variety shows neither improve professional skills nor enhance personal value. Aside from flopping on variety shows to earn money and traffic, they offer no benefit to an actor.
Some actors' natural talent is worn away by various variety shows, or even defined by the audience, making it impossible for them to play more roles.
Therefore, Liu Rulan never mentioned appearing on variety shows to Xiao He, but of course, appearing on shows to promote a drama is another matter.
Xiao He didn't show himself, but continued to sit in the car listening to the girls in the back complaining about the crew's inhumane behavior.
About ten minutes later, Xiao Chen and Liu Rulan returned together.
"How about it?"
Xiao He asked.
"The boat rental owner said there are a lot of people renting boats today, so we have to wait a while," Xiao Chen answered first, then complained, "We clearly made a reservation yesterday, but he just had to take this opportunity to make a quick buck, and the boat we rented out still hasn't returned."
Liu Rulan said, "Today, the crew of 'Fearless Journey' is filming a maritime competition. It should be other staff members or fans who went out to sea with the rented boats."
"Who came today? There are so many people!" Xiao Chen asked curiously.
Liu Rulan raised an eyebrow and looked at Xiao He.
Xiao He: ? What are you looking at me for?
Xiao He looked bewildered: "What's wrong?"
Liu Rulan: "Do you remember the guy I casually mentioned to you yesterday?"
"Uh—" Xiao He observed Liu Rulan's expression, "Is it about whether her surname is Lin or Qin?"
Liu Rulan chuckled and got into the car: "It must be the eldest young master, Qin Lezhang."
"Oh, him? He's participating in this program too?" Xiao He exclaimed in surprise. "He's also participating in the sea combat competition?"
He had just heard those girls say that the competition was tough and the production team was being unreasonable. It turns out that the young master from the Beijing elite circle that Liu Rulan mentioned yesterday is also here to suffer along with them.
This is not what he imagined!
Liu Rulan seemed to have guessed Xiao He's doubts and explained helplessly, "Of course not. The participants in this competition were arranged in advance by the script. How could that young master possibly participate?"
When Liu Rulan went over just now, she saw the young master lying comfortably on a beach chair, with screams and shouts from his fans coming from time to time.
This scene contrasted sharply with the group of performers paddling small plastic boats in the sea under the blazing sun.
After listening to Liu Rulan's words, Xiao He's expression was also complicated: "...Speaking of which, are all these shows scripted these days?"
Liu Rulan scoffed: "That's right, most of them are scripted. Even many of the famous scenes that went viral were pre-arranged by the production team. In the end, the two sides at the center of the incident gained traffic and attention, while only the audience was genuinely angry."
"For example, their match just now was actually because the result of the match was not arranged according to the winning team in the script, so the director forced them to reshoot."
In the past, variety shows might have contained some elements of reality, but now...
Don't ask, the answer is always the same: actors express three parts emotion and seven parts tears when they act. Even Liu Rulan herself sometimes isn't sure if what the other person is doing is simply for the sake of the show or a genuine expression of feeling.
