Chapter 008
Seeing Xu Jingning's embarrassed expression, Weekend Mo uttered a "hmm" and took over the question: "In the drama that Zhang Siyan and I starred in, little Jingning played my junior fellow apprentice. Although we didn't have many scenes together, he brought snacks to me and Siyan early in the morning every day. It's hard not to be impressed."
When this topic came up, Xu Jingning deliberately joked, "Sister Zhou Zhou, so you remember me because of the snacks?"
"Of course not. It's because you pretend to chat with me every day, but the idea of bringing me and Si Yan together is popping out of your eyes!" Weekend winked at him playfully.
Xu Jingning looked innocent: "I just hope that the two teachers can get along well in the crew."
After all, as soon as she joined the crew, she saw the male and female protagonists bickering on the set, and the quarrel was as fierce as it could be. At that time, Xu Jingning directly suspected that 2874 had recognized the wrong CP. After repeatedly confirming that it was correct, she had no choice but to work hard and start creating various opportunities.
Later, I found out that this was just their unique way of getting along... The information in 2874 was correct, but Xu Jingning's jumping around was embarrassing.
Recalling the scene at that time, they both smiled, and Yan Xun suddenly said: "So the little matchmaker Zhang Siyan mentioned is you."
Xu Jingning tilted his head to look at him.
What is Little Matchmaker?
Before he had time to think about it, Xiang Yuan, who was standing beside him with his mouth open and eyes wide open, interrupted his thoughts.
"Wait wait wait, did you just reveal something incredible?!"
Hearing this, Xu Jingning and Weekend looked at each other. After getting affirmative looks, he chose to be the bad guy.
"Actually, you mentioned before, um, your couple, I didn't mean... Actually, it's because I knew about their relationship when I was in the same crew with Sister Zhou Zhou and Teacher Zhang last year."
Weekend added with a smile: "Si Yan and I have known each other for many years, but we have never broken that layer of paper. It is indeed because of Xiao Jingning that I dare to take this step."
Xu Jingning was stunned.
It seems that his efforts were not entirely in vain?
"Alas, we originally wanted to use the show to announce our relationship, but who knew that Si Yan's new drama had problems and he had to go back to reshoot, so we had to ask Teacher Yan to help out."
After hearing these words, Xiang Yuan felt like the amount of information was exploding.
Suddenly I learned that CPbe’s pain had to be put aside.
Yan Xun interrupted the topic at the right time: "Time is tight, hurry up and finish your meal and go back to the studio."
"Oh yeah, we can't chat any more," Weekend Mo opened his phone and checked the time, "It's almost seven o'clock, see you later."
"Goodbye, teachers."
It was not until the two groups had separated and walked away for a long time that Weekend finally realized something.
"Damn it, Yan Xun, are you deliberately changing the subject? I haven't asked Xiao Jing Ning for clarification yet!!!"
————
On the other side, Xiang Yuan began to pull Xu Jingning and sigh.
"Actually, it's good to be happy when you're supporting a couple, but don't get too caught up in it." Xu Jingning had long been accustomed to the people around him being upset, and she comforted them skillfully, "Look at the current state of the domestic entertainment industry, how many couples can make it to the end? Those who still have after-sales service after the business period are considered conscientious. We are all in this circle, and you know the business routines of various companies."
"You're right," Xiang Yuan sighed again, "I understand the truth, but I'm just a little shocked and can't get over it."
Xu Jingning recalled the day they first met, when Xiang Yuan excitedly said, "This has been a favorite of mine for three years."
Xu Jingning: “…”
To be honest, if it weren't for the help of 2874 and his contact with the main characters, it would be easy to be confused just by looking at the interaction between the two movie kings.
Xiang Yuan just sighed: "Who hasn't kowtowed to Yan Zhang when they were young?"
In the current situation where CP hype has become the norm, the CP of Yan Xun and Zhang Siyan was considered a model in the circle in the early years, and was once very popular, because compared to the specially designed business routines now, the two of them were just getting along normally, which made all kinds of interactions seem very real.
The brotherhood they have gained from knowing each other for many years is more intoxicating than industrial saccharin.
If Zhang Siyan wasn't a straight man who couldn't be straighter...it's hard to say.
As for Yan Xun...
"Ningning, Ningning? Did you hear what I said?"
Xiang Yuan's shouting brought Xu Jingning back to his senses. He raised his head and asked, "Well, what's wrong?"
"I say, don't go back later, have dinner with me." After complaining, Xiang Yuan has adjusted his mentality and regained his spirits. "It's a rare opportunity to come to Pingjiang TV Station, let's have a good meal together."
Xu Jingning turned around and found that the two had arrived at the TV station’s public cafeteria.
Pingjiang TV Station is one of the best TV stations in the country and its facilities are excellent. Rather than a "canteen", it is more like a variety of food stores on the top floor of a shopping mall. At first glance, there are many varieties of food and it is very lively.
It also makes it difficult for people to make a decision.
"What do you want to eat?"
"Well, I haven't decided yet. I can eat anything. What about you?"
"I haven't thought about it yet, let's take a look first." Xiang Yuan rubbed his hands and pulled Xu Jingning to a store first, "But we still have to record later, so let's eat something light."
"good."
In the end, the two of them each ordered a bowl of lo mein.
"Just the topic we were talking about... Actually, I had expected this day to come." As they ate, Xiang Yuan suddenly lowered his voice, "Because these two look too much like brothers, they can't be a real couple."
"But when you really face the news about BE, telling others that your CP is fake is completely different!"
After hearing this, Xu Jingning held the spoon and smiled, "Yes, I totally understand."
As for CP, even though we have said thousands of times that you can't really feel it, it's hard to completely ignore it after investing so much energy and emotions into it.
"Wuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwu Ningning, please promise me one thing. Teach me how to find a true couple!"
Xu Jingning replied slowly: "If you care so much about whether the CP is real or not, then go and support real couples."
"How come you are so lucky to meet so many real couples... Oh, right!" Xiang Yuan suddenly got a flash of inspiration, "When will your next live broadcast be?"
Xu Jingning paused.
It has been almost two months since his last live broadcast, but he has temporarily delayed it due to his recent participation in the show.
"I'm not sure. It depends on my agent's arrangement." Xu Jingning slowly changed the subject. "Instead of thinking about these things, you might as well pray about which group you will be assigned to later."
Sure enough, Xiang Yuan shifted his attention in a second: "Hey, Ningning, can you tell me the truth? Which two teachers did you choose?"
"Teacher Yan and Sister Zhou Zhou." Xu Jingning answered directly, "After all, they have met before, so they are a little familiar with each other."
"Yeah, that's right. I guessed that there must be Teacher Yan, and I chose him. But there must be a lot of people who chose Teacher Yan, and I probably can't compete with you... The other teacher I chose is Xing Yu. I used to be his fan."
Xu Jingning thought for a while and chuckled, "I think you two will get along well."
Xiang Yuan scratched his head embarrassedly: "Hey, I think so too."
After dinner, the two returned to the studio at around 7:30. After everyone was present, at the signal of the director team, everyone moved to a warmer room and waited for the live broadcast to begin.
Passing by the studio on the way, Xu Jingning took a special look at the layout. The main stage was divided into four areas by floor lamps of different colors, and there were three chairs in each area.
There were many students like him who went to watch secretly, but they didn't see anything special and were urged to leave.
Everyone sat down in the small room until they received the notification that the live broadcast was about to begin, and then the students sat upright and waited for the start.
Not long after, the director's voice came from the radio: "Dear students, welcome back. Next we will announce the group results. Before that, everyone can guess their group situation."
Hearing this, the students looked at each other and an undercurrent of emotion surged.
The director continued, "The studio is ready. You can reach it through the corridor on your right. There are four areas on the stage, with different colors representing the four instructors. Each area can only seat three people at most. Please decide the order of entry by yourselves."
[Damn, I didn't expect to see this kind of operation in an acting variety show. ]
[Wow, they’re already starting to mess things up in the first episode! ]
[Only three people can sit in one area... Very good, the next step is a large-scale psychological warfare. ]
"The notification is complete. Now you can start making your decision."
As soon as the director finished speaking, while most of the students were still hesitating, one person suddenly stood up from his seat and walked out of the room neatly.
Xu Jingning looked up and saw that it was Chu Xinrou.
Xu Jingning was sitting closest to the door. When Chu Xinrou walked past him, she gave him a faint smile.
After she moved, another girl quickly stepped forward.
As the two people left, the live broadcast screen on the other side also opened.
The remaining eight students didn't move and just looked at each other.
A boy tried to bring up the topic: "Who wants to go next?"
Turning his sight back, Xu Jingning caught a glimpse of Shen Luo who was ready to make a move, and said without hesitation: "Then I'll go first."
Everyone knows that Chu Xinrou and the girls around her will definitely choose Yan Xun.
There is one position left, and he will not let Shen Luo succeed.
Xu Jingning opened the door, walked through the corridor, and entered the studio, where he saw the two girls sitting together.
There was only one chair left in the area where they were sitting. There was a light purple light on the ground, and a black outline was reflected on the screen behind them. It could be recognized as Yan Xun.
Xu Jingning sat down in the last seat without hesitation and nodded to the two of them.
Not long after I sat down, I saw someone hurrying over, and it was indeed Shen Luo.
His face didn't look good, but he knew he was under a live broadcast, so he endured it and didn't do anything. Then, the other party sat down in Xie Yinlan's area.
Xu Jingning even smiled at him, but Chen Luo pretended not to notice and avoided her.
Probably because they didn't expect the people in front to leave so quickly, the rest of them also hurried in one after another. Xiang Yuan chose Xing Yu. After the ten students had made their choices, there was finally one vacant person in the area for Xing Yu and Weekend.
Although the whole process was quick and silent, the barrage of comments was already making everyone laugh.
[I am really laughing to death, they are not pretending at all, they just grab the money when they say they will, haha ...
[Chu Xinrou and Xin Yao acted so quickly, it seemed like they ran away before anyone could react. They are indeed best friends.]
[Shouldn’t the funniest thing be Chen Luo? He was about to take a step but was intercepted by Xu Jingning. When he saw Xu Jingning running, his pupils were shaking hahahaha]
[Yan fans would like to express their deep gratitude to Mr. Xu for his efforts in preventing someone from succeeding in sucking blood]
[I laughed so hard, I am a fan of Ning Ning and I didn’t expect this either. After all, Ning Ning has always given people the impression of being lazy and sloppy. I didn’t expect her to be so efficient this time.]
Then, the four mentors entered in order, and the mentor seats were separated from the students. After a formal opening, Weekend, who was in charge of the hosting task, began to hand over the grouping cards to the other three people.
"Come on, the moment that everyone is looking forward to has arrived. Which group do you want to hear about first?" Weekend Mo had whetted everyone's appetite and blinked his eyes slightly. "I know everyone must be scrolling through the screen right now. Hehe, let me go first! Xiang Yuan!"
Xiang Yuan was waiting to see the show and was having a good time, but he didn't expect to hear his own name first. He was immediately confused: "Huh?"
Everyone was amused by him and the atmosphere suddenly became joyful.
"What? You're assigned to my group!" Weekend smiled and shook her head, "Hurry up and change seats!"
So, in a confused state, Xiang Yuan walked towards the weekend area with a serious face.
As he walked, he couldn't believe it, saying "What's going on?"
[I am dying of laughter, Xiang Yuan is so cute! ]
"Then it's my turn next." Xing Yu looked at the card in his hand, raised his eyebrows and called out a name.
"You two are very quick. It's my turn next." Xie Yinlan picked up the microphone with a smile, "Let me see the first one... Xin Yao."
No one was surprised by this result. All eyes were focused on Xin Yao. She just stood up calmly, walked to Xie Yinlan's area, and stood there waiting.
It was Yan Xun's turn to announce. The atmosphere became inexplicably tense. Teacher Yan himself smiled slightly, but he felt inexplicably solemn and serious.
"The first student is Chu Xinrou."
Facing this expected result, Chu Xinrou nodded towards Yan Xun.
In the second round, the four people each reported a name, and Weekend Mo and Xing Yu said that their grouping was finalized. After all, compared to the two popular actors, Xie Yinlan and Yan Xun, who have been active in the film and television industry on the big screen for a long time, are indeed more popular. This result was also expected by everyone.
However, there were still two students on the stage who had not been announced yet, they were Shen Luo and Xu Jingning.
It was probably a deliberate setting by the director team. As soon as this scene appeared, the barrage of comments quickly doubled, mainly from Shenluo fans. All kinds of unsightly words quickly swept the entire screen.
[Apple TV is such a disgrace… Putting two rivals on the TV is too obvious]
[Uh, if I had known this would happen, I would have blocked all the nicknames of the two...]
[Xu Jingning is so pitiful... No matter what, his strength is obvious to everyone, but why can Shen Luo be in the group of two best actresses and best actor...]
[In the previous section, because it is a mutual selection system, those who fail to be selected will be randomly assigned. It seems that Shen was randomly assigned. ]
[Oh, I know about this. In order to make the number of people in each group reasonable, there will be two airborne guests later, so Zhou Zhou and Xing Yu can only choose two members each.]
[This... if it's random, doesn't it mean that Shen Luo still has a chance to join Teacher Yan's group? Damn...]
[So now Yan fans should pray that Xu Jingning and your teacher Yan choose each other. ]
The live broadcast barrage was in chaos, but the scene was very quiet. After learning about the effect of the show, Xie Yinlan smiled and said, "The last two students will be announced by Teacher Yan first."
In response to the senior's humble attitude, Yan Xun nodded and smiled: "Okay."
"Coincidentally, the last kid in my group was actually the first person I chose without hesitation at the beginning."
Hearing this, Weekend raised his head and put his hand to his lips, trying hard to hold back his smile.
[What the hell does Weekend's expression of being hit by something mean? ]
Then, under the gaze of everyone, Yan Xun put down his card, looked up and looked at Xu Jingning.
"Xu Jingning, welcome to join my group."
