That evening, An Ning topped the trending searches four times in one day, but she had no time to care about that. All she wanted to know was how much advertising revenue she would receive the next day and when her variety show journey would begin.
Of course, she could readily admit that she was so worried about money; otherwise, she wouldn't be worried about such things at all.
After all, nobody likes to create trouble for themselves.
But she was poor, and the poor have no dignity; they wouldn't even dare add sausage to their fried rice.
Fortunately, the variety show's director was extremely adept at capitalizing on trending topics. As soon as An Ning's name appeared on the trending list for the fourth time, he couldn't wait to call Chu Lan.
The call was brief. They asked when recording could begin, as everyone else had been notified and they said it could start tomorrow. They were unsure if Anning would be able to participate in the recording tomorrow.
The time was too tight, and even though An Ning had said she could participate in the recording at any time, Chu Lan didn't dare to agree directly. Instead, he politely sent her away.
As soon as the call ended, Chu Lan called An Ning. The first thing he did wasn't to ask when An Ning could participate in the recording, but to immediately roar, "What are you doing? Why did you suddenly go and start a Weibo ad-sharing program?"
The sound was very loud, and Anning immediately moved the phone away after hearing just the beginning.
I'm afraid I'll go deaf.
"Sister Lan, sometimes saving face isn't that important. They're just watching the show. I'm not taking their money; I'm just letting them watch the commercials and give me some money while they're watching the show. It's a win-win situation, so why not?"
Chu Lan was exasperated by her twisted logic and could only rub her temples. "Why didn't you say that before? They were cursing you so badly before. Why didn't you say that while they were cursing you, they also gave you some money?"
When questioned, An Ning seriously spouted nonsense, "I was too pretentious before. I didn't even want such easy money."
Guessing that Chu Lan wouldn't call her over something so trivial, An Ning paused for a moment before asking, "Sister Lan, is there something you need from me?"
Still somewhat dazed from angering An Ning, Chu Lan instinctively replied after hearing her words, "No!"
"Okay, I'll hang up now."
As Anning was saying this, she prepared to hang up the phone.
Chu Lan immediately became anxious. "No, the director of that horror variety show I told you about before contacted me again, asking if you want to go on his show. Filming starts tomorrow. Although you said you could go anytime, tomorrow is still too rushed, so I sent you off for now."
"What? You refused?" An Ning's voice instantly rose two times higher.
Chu Lan was startled by her. "No, I just brushed it off for now."
"Sister Lan, I'm really available anytime. Tomorrow, right? It starts tomorrow morning? Then I'll get ready now. Go tell the director..."
After saying that, An Ning slammed down the phone and immediately started packing her things.
Black mask, black hat, black hoodie, black jeans, and a pair of black canvas shoes.
All-black set meal.
She's going to scare everyone tomorrow.
-
Director Ang Lee is the youngest among the well-known directors in the industry. This time, he launched this horror escape variety show not only for the sake of popularity but also out of his passion.
He himself is a big fan of horror survival novels, and he has read hundreds of different types of infinite flow novels. After the novels became incredibly popular online, he immediately decided to produce such a variety show.
Because of his own abilities and his willingness to spend money, the guests he invited were almost all top figures in the entertainment industry, including established stars, popular stars, and stars with powerful backgrounds. The reason he chose An Ning was to have her serve as a control group to make the show more interesting.
If she refused, the show wouldn't be unable to continue filming, so to him, An Ning was someone who was dispensable.
What he didn't expect was that Anning's popularity would rise so high in the past two days. With Anning gaining such a high level of popularity yesterday, he could already guess how high Anning's popularity would be in the next few days.
Coincidentally, his variety show is starting filming tomorrow, and with the surge in popularity from An Ning, their existing popularity will definitely rise to a new level.
So after much deliberation, Li An decided to call Chu Lan again.
Unexpectedly, the other party dared to refuse him. Fortunately, the person called back a little while later to tell him that An Ning would participate in tomorrow's recording, which made sense.
He absolutely has to capitalize on this wave of popularity!
...But the other party promised so readily, why hasn't it arrived yet?
Ang Lee had lost count of how many times he had checked his watch; there was now less than half an hour left before the official start of filming for his variety show.
He still hadn't seen An Ning. Was this person going to be late?
Thinking of this possibility, Ang Lee's impression of An Ning immediately dropped several points. On the first day of the official recording, she shouldn't be late, right? Those first- and second-tier celebrities all arrived earlier than her.
"Director Li, Director Li, something terrible has happened! The camera we went through so much trouble to get our hands on has disappeared."
Suddenly a hurried voice came from behind, accompanied by heavy breathing, indicating that the person delivering the message was in a great hurry.
Ang Lee was confused. "What do you mean?"
The man who came to deliver the message was panting heavily, his hands on his knees, "The camera equipment is missing."
After saying that, as if afraid the other person didn't know how serious the matter was, he added an extra sentence, "It's...it's you, the set of equipment you bought for over a million is gone!"
"What?!"
Ang Lee's roar nearly lifted the roof off: "Say that again?!"
The man repeated cautiously, "It's just... it's just that the camera equipment worth over a million is missing."
After he finished speaking, he raised his hand to cover his ears.
"Call the police! Have you called the police yet?"
"I've reported it, I've reported it, I've reported it..."
Upon hearing this, An Ning immediately stood up, her lips moving, but before she could utter a sound, the previously closed hall door was opened.
The director of "Survival Countdown" is very generous. He booked a five-star hotel right from the start, and they will be filming the pilot episode in the hotel lobby. An Ning arrived here half an hour ago, and the first thing she did upon arrival was to activate her system.
The variety show is about to start filming, and she only has two identities, which isn't enough; she needs to take on a few more.
So Anning accepted a mission, the full name of which was:
[Thief] Activate quest: Steal an item worth over 10,000.
