☆、Chapter 176 Couple Variety Show 5
"I don't mean anything else, but sometimes blindly compromising is not a good idea. No one is anyone's appendage, right?" Wen Mianyu asked calmly.
"That's right." Nan Xin was just soft-hearted, but she was not confused, so she nodded in affirmation.
"Well, so let's talk about it. Don't be afraid of arguing. Both sides will be satisfied after the argument. This is a healthy argument, which is better than compromising and keeping it in your heart." Wen Mianyu patted her shoulder.
"Yeah." Nan Xin finally smiled. It was a genuinely happy smile, not a forced one.
…
After chatting all the way, the two came downstairs and the other couples had also finished their visit.
There were only ten minutes left before the recording started, so everyone stayed in the hall and gathered.
Chen Kai and Lu Congxu also chatted along the way, but they walked fast and didn't talk much. After Lu Congxu went downstairs, he was pulled over by Gu Feicheng. Chen Kai stood there for a while, but found that he couldn't get a word in, so he walked away.
Seeing Nan Xin at this moment, Chen Kai walked over and pulled Nan Xin, "Why did you come down so late?"
"I chatted with Miss Su for a while." Nan Xin had just finished chatting with Wen Mianyu. She felt much more cheerful and smiled more often.
Chen Kai had just been ignored, but he couldn't bear to see her like this, "What can you talk about? She's in the industry and all her movies are starring female characters. You haven't acted in years, what topics do you have in common?"
Nan Xin's expression changed. She wanted to say something, but when she looked around and saw that there were people around, she didn't say anything in the end.
Wen Mianyu was far away from them and did not hear their conversation. At this moment, Wen Mianyu was chatting with Shen Yin, talking about the last time they filmed together.
After a while, the break was over and Chen Ning came over and asked everyone to gather outside.
…
The part to be recorded this afternoon is a battle for housing. Five couples need to decide the winner through a game, and finally the couples ranked one to five will choose their houses in turn.
Before the game started, the host showed everyone photos of five houses.
Chen Ning held up the photos and flipped through them one by one. "Everyone, take a look. This first house is the villa we just visited, the sea villa. You've all seen how luxurious it is inside. Are you satisfied?"
"Yes..." The guests responded in twos and threes with very uneven voices.
"It's good, but it's not easy to grab it. Instead of looking at the best house first, it's better to look at the shabbiest one first to see how shabby it is." Gu Fei Cheng Feng narrowed his eyes and teased.
Chen Ning wasn't fooled. Smiling, she flipped through the photos of the second house. "Here's the second one, the beach house. It's not far from the villa. It's Mediterranean style, fresh and cool. Do you like it?"
The photo of the second house is presented to everyone. The Mediterranean blue tone looks very cool in sunny Hawaii, and the design of a row of pebbles in front of the door is also very appealing to girls.
If you can't get a villa, you can live in this one, which is also good.
"The next one is the third one, our wooden house, which is also built on the seaside. It truly faces the sea and has flowers blooming in spring." Chen Ning turned to the third photo and showed it to everyone.
This is an obvious viewing house with two floors. The covered area is not large, but it is built on the beach with a good view. There are white gauze curtains in front of the huge windows, which are particularly romantic when the wind blows.
Wen Mianyu even thought this one was better than the Mediterranean one and was more in line with her aesthetic.
"The fourth one is a small RV." Chen Ning turned another page, revealing the fourth house, which was a medium-sized RV.
You can see that the RV is fully equipped with various supporting facilities. Although it is not very luxurious, it is very cozy.
"This is the last one. You can try to guess what it is." Chen Ning did not rush to turn the page and kept it a suspense at the end.
This was for the show's effect, so how could anyone not understand that? So everyone cooperated and cheered.
"Needless to say, it's definitely the most dilapidated. If your director team is ruthless enough, even sleeping outdoors is possible, right?" Gu Feicheng has a good variety show effect and always exaggerates what he says.
"No way!" The young couple next to him were both shocked.
"Of course not. The houses in front are so nice. I'm afraid the last production team will want a big one." Wen Mianyu chimed in.
Lu Congxu doesn't have much sense for variety shows and doesn't like to perform too much. As they work in a group of two, Wen Mianyu can only work hard on her own.
"I don't think it's outdoors. At least there will be a bed, but it's a bit troublesome to move the bed, and it loses the meaning of being outdoors, so I guess it's a tent." Chen Yin said, still with a cool expression on his face.
"Yes, Yinyin guessed right, it's the tent!" Chen Ning continued, and turned to the last house.
A photo of a tent was presented to everyone.
This tent is quite large. If it weren’t for the previous house for comparison, everyone would probably want to sleep in such a luxurious tent.
Lying on the beach and looking at the stars is also very romantic.
"This tent is actually not bad." Chen Yin nodded affirmatively.
Chen Ning shook her head, her face full of mystery. "This one was found online by the production team. The tent we prepared isn't like this, it's that one..."
As she spoke, she pointed to the side. Everyone looked over and saw a staff member from the program team coming over with a small folding tent and placing it on the beach.
Judging from the size and thickness of the tent, it is very simple. It can be imagined that it will not be very big after being erected. It is a most ordinary tent.
"Is this a double tent?" Chen Yin, who had a lot of knowledge about wilderness survival, was the first to question.
"Yes, it's just a small double tent. There's no way we can get a single tent. How can we let everyone sleep poorly?" Chen Ning smiled mischievously.
“…”Everyone.
A small double tent isn't much bigger than a large single tent, right?
But for a show to stand out, it has to have something interesting. How can we produce material without something interesting?
Otherwise, just looking at the size of the villa, it is enough for five couples to live in it, so why bother with games or dividing the rooms.
"The game is about to begin. Please ask our staff to bring the props." Chen Ning put the photos away and placed them on the table at the side, and asked the staff to bring the props.
Several stagehands came over with plates that had been prepared long ago. The plates were large and had a lid, so you couldn't see what was inside.
The staff placed the five plates on the long table in order, then took out a large folded tablecloth and placed it next to it.
"Okay, these are the props we are going to use. Everyone can come over. Each of you choose a plate and stand behind it." After the staff went down, several cameramen zoomed in and Chen Ning stood in front of the table to greet everyone.
The plates were covered tightly and there was no smell. No one knew what was inside, so there was no need to fight for a seat. Everyone just chose a place to stand.
Wen Mianyu and Lu Congxu stood in the middle. Chen Ning stood opposite them and spoke across the table, "You can lift the lid now."
Lu Congxu reached out and opened the lid of the plate.
At the same time, several other couples also opened the lids and then exclaimed in surprise.
"Wow……"
"Well……"
"What is this? Pancake?"
"Why is it food?"
In front of everyone were rows of baked pancakes, which were hollow in the middle, a bit like enlarged donuts.
"What's going on? Why aren't they the same size?" Gu Feicheng was the first to notice something was wrong. When he looked at other people's pancakes, he found that they were not the same size as his.
"Really, the size is a little different." Others also noticed it and walked over to confirm.
Wen Mianyu took a quick look around and found that the sizes of the five pancakes were different, but the differences were not particularly large. The largest one was actually much larger than the smallest one.
"What is this for?" Gu Feicheng looked at the tablecloth and suddenly realized the intention of the program team.
While everyone else was still confused.
Gu Feicheng suddenly had an idea, "You don't want us to eat it, do you?"
"Yes!" Chen Ning snapped his fingers. "Emperor Gu is right. We must eat it!"
"Now let me tell you the rules of the cake-eating game. As you can see, each cake is empty in the middle, just like a necklace. These cakes can be hung around our waists. Each group chooses one person to hang the cake, and then the other person eats the cake. The first guest to finish wins, and the order of ranking will be the order in which we will choose the house. Everyone, do your best!"
"No way, with such a big pancake hanging around my waist, how long will it take to finish it?" Gu Feicheng was simply incredulous.
"That depends on everyone's effort and luck. Those who choose the smaller pancakes can eat less, and those who choose the largest pancakes..." Chen Ning glanced at the obviously largest pancake on his table and shook his head sympathetically, "You'll have to work harder."
“…”Gu Feicheng.
“…”Chen Yin.
“…”Others.
Wen Mianyu couldn't help but laugh.
"What are you laughing at? Are you gloating?" Gu Feicheng looked at her and raised his eyebrows.
The two of them were already very familiar with each other, so naturally they could joke around. Wen Mianyu also raised an eyebrow, "You're just kidding, I picked the smallest pancake, so I can eat about half as much as you."
“…”Gu Feicheng.
"Haha..." The others reacted and burst out laughing.
After all, the pancake is round, and if one is a little bigger, the total diameter will be much larger. Wen Mianyu and Gu Feicheng are the smallest and the largest respectively. If we really weigh them, even if it is not as exaggerated as half a pancake missing, it will probably be two-thirds or one-quarter.
Choosing the right cake can be said to be equivalent to having a first-mover advantage in this game.
"No way, this pancake is so dry. It's so hot in Hawaii. It will be so choking..." Gu Feicheng looked at the pancake on the plate in front of him, feeling helpless.
"Come on!" Chen Ning made a fist gesture, took two steps back, and left the front of the table.
"Okay, now I say start, everyone can gather around the tablecloth, hang the bread on your waist and start eating."
"I'll count down to three, two, one, start!"
Chen Ning gave an order and the staff blew a whistle beside him.
Everyone didn't react for a moment, and after a pause, they realized that the game had started, and hurried forward to get the cakes.
Some people were so anxious that they put the cake on themselves, but it got stuck at the shoulder because the ring in the middle of the cake was not big enough.
"Be careful not to break the pancake." Chen Ning reminded in a deliberately cute manner.
The person who was trying to pull the cake off forcefully stopped and adopted a gentle action.
Wen Mianyu had already anticipated that the program team would have such a rule. She first tied the tablecloth around her body, and then put the pancake on from the bottom up.
She was thin and quickly put the cake on her waist. Lu Congxu cooperated by squatting down and starting to eat the cake from the side of her waist.
The biscuit was very dry, probably because it had been left out for a while. It was also a bit hard and very choking to eat. Even Lu Congxu, who was not easily moved by fame or disgrace, choked after taking two bites.
A staff member nearby handed it to him and he didn't bother to see who it was, and hurriedly pulled it over and took two sips.
After soaking it in water, he swallowed the bread.
But this way, I feel fuller.
We had already had lunch on the plane, so we didn't feel hungry at the moment. The biscuits were dry and hard, and tasted as filling as compressed biscuits. After a few bites and drinking some water, everyone felt bloated.
"Oh my God, I shouldn't have eaten lunch on the plane." Gu Feicheng was choked and almost couldn't breathe.
"Whoever eats less at lunch today will definitely win the game." Someone nearby joked, also trying to create an atmosphere and get some shots for themselves.
When it comes to variety shows, just focusing on the games doesn't necessarily mean you're out of show. You also have to be able to find jokes, create laughs, and create a sense of humor.
Lu Congxu was not good at this, so he just ate the cake silently. Maybe because he ate too fast, he accidentally choked when drinking water and spit out the water.
"Look, Actor Lu is about to choke and vomit. Are you, the program crew, torturing him? This is abuse!" Gu Feicheng teased while chewing the biscuit in his mouth.
"Emperor Lu is such a cool and handsome guy, but you guys are almost ruining his image!" Chen Kai also joined in the teasing, trying to get some screen time for himself.
As we all know, only by talking more can you have the opportunity to stand out. Even if the current sentence is not funny or has no highlights, the next sentence may have highlights.
"Is Mr. Lu okay?" the staff asked with concern. This kind of game is generally not dangerous, but they are also afraid that something unexpected might happen.
"It's okay." Lu Congxu waved his hand, wiped the corner of his mouth with his sleeve, and then devoted himself to the cake-eating game again.
The battle was in full swing. The five groups of guests were all dedicated and hard-working. In less than ten minutes, the veteran actor couple finished eating the cakes and were the first to complete the task.
Soon, the second and third place winners were also decided.
Among them, Gu Feicheng won the third place because he worked particularly hard and kept chewing with his cheeks like a hamster.
Lu Congxu was used to eating slowly, so even though he got the smallest cake, he finished it after Gu Feicheng.
After finishing the last bite, Lu Congxu stood up and opened his mouth to show it.
"Okay, Actor Lu is fourth!" Chen Ning raised a hand.
She stared at Lu Congxu while he was eating, knowing that it was not easy for Lu Congxu to get the fourth place.
The fifth place is Chen Kai and Nan Xin, who have not finished their meal yet.
"Our Kenan couple is fifth." Chen Ning announced.
Chen Kai still had a little cake left, but when he saw the result, he refused to eat anymore and stood up.
"Okay, our rankings are out. Now it's time to start selecting a room." Chen Ning took out the photos again and placed them in front of everyone. "Now, please let the first person come forward and make their choice."
The dark horse actor couple of the game won the first place. They walked forward together and picked the largest and most huge villa.
