Chapter 271 Amateur Selection
As soon as the announcement came out, the loyal "townspeople" of "Town and Country" and the variety show fans of "Living Together" were all excited.
"Really?! 'Living Together' is inviting 'Town' players?"
"Oh, oh, oh, oh, I can already imagine the scene of the glamorous stars on the stage and the ordinary guests staying in the villa playing games together..."
"I can only say that the 'Town' officials are amazing! After the show airs, there will be a large number of townspeople rushing in to compete with me for the plot, right?"
“I’m really looking forward to this season’s celebrity guests!”
The Star Network was in a state of turmoil. Tong Wanwan also received a private email from the game's official team, asking if she was interested in participating in the online audition. Regardless of whether she was ultimately selected or not, she would receive a reward.
Tong Wanwan also knew a thing or two about the collaboration between "Town" and "Cohabitation." After all... Davina kept telling her about it every few days, so she had no choice but to know.
When she received the private email, Tong Wanwan happened to be vying for a spot on a new island in the beta server. Her main account was in the Graton district, but she had a separate account in the beta server, the ID [Lion Meow]. Every time a new island was released on the beta server, she was always one of the lucky few to snag a spot. It was precisely because she had already explored the new islands that she was able to scavenge resources so quickly and expertly when the official server launched.
This time, just when she was about to switch back to her main account [Wanwan], a private email from the game official popped up.
After a quick glance, Tong Wanwan was about to close the email when she was suddenly stopped by the notification sound from the computer.
Tong Wanwan paused, exited the game mode, and took off the holographic helmet.
I lowered my eyes and sure enough, it was Davina's video call.
She sighed softly and answered the call anyway.
“Wanwan ahhhh!”
Tong Wanwan: "...Calm down, Davina."
Davina's voice vibrated with excitement. "I can't calm down! Did you get the email?! Lily said she got it too! Looks like the officials have sent invitations to the top players in all regions."
Tong Wanwan paused slightly. She didn't expect that Lily really used the power of money to get to the top of the list.
"What list are you on?" she asked puzzledly.
Davina coughed heavily, a little embarrassed. "It's... it's the rich list. I spent two million star coins to give out red envelopes on the streets of Graton, and then I triggered the achievement 'Big Spender of Money' and replaced the number one on the list... You have no idea how cool it is to throw money on the street!"
Tong Wanwan: “…”
Although she couldn't even estimate her current savings, she was really surprised that Davina would spend two million to play the game just for a ranking title.
Davina licked her lips. "Are you planning on participating? The official online audition, the one I told you about the other day, where you could be on the show."
"I get to live with a handsome celebrity in a huge, beautiful villa, travel for free, and even get paid by the production crew!"
She rolled around in bed excitedly. "Oh, right, the most important thing is to become famous! I want to be like Wanwan, with tens of millions of fans... If the viewers knew you were a high-level player on 'Town and City' and a very popular anchor, more people would become your fans, right?"
Tong Wanwan: “!”
Small system: [! ]
Oh, yeah...
Being able to participate in the show = very likely to become popular = gain more fans = the live broadcast room will reach new heights = save more points = can exchange for that super expensive "transformation" prop!
"Well, well?" Davina insisted. "Do you want to join?"
"good."
"It's just the initial online audition anyway, so it doesn't hurt to give it a try...eh?" Davina was stunned. "Wanwan, do you agree?"
"Well," Tong Wanwan laughed, "Just like you said, it's worth a try."
Davina's eyes lit up and she rolled out of bed. "I'll go find those videos online and watch them together! Don't turn off the video link, I'll be quick."
Ten minutes later, they clicked on the amateur selection footage from the previous seasons of "Living Together"...
The other side.
In order to select amateur guests more efficiently, the game company invited the casting director of the program team to participate in the screening process.
The casting director's keen eye and mature variety show experience are something the game's officials lack. Therefore, they are responsible for meeting with high-quality players online, asking some questions, and the casting director makes the final selection.
At this time, among the three amateur candidates, professional player, high-level player and pay-to-win player, the professional player has been found. He is a young man with the ID [Falcon], whose real name is Yi Laizhe.
The young man is handsome, with short red hair that is particularly eye-catching, but in the virtual image, he is introverted, with a rebellious and cold feeling in his eyebrows and eyes, making him seem unapproachable.
During their conversation, the young man spoke word by word, answering each question one by one. The game team genuinely suspected that if they didn't speak, the young man would remain silent until the end, or perhaps... he would impatiently hang up the video call and unilaterally terminate the selection process.
It’s a bit cold, but that doesn’t mean he’s so handsome!
The casting director's eyes lit up when he saw Yi Laizhe. Even his various behaviors during the conversation were automatically and consciously given a layer of cool male god filter.
"That's him!" the casting director decided.
"Sure," the game's contact person agreed, "We have no objection."
They left Yi Laizhe's personal information and took another glance, only to find that his game ID was exactly the same as that of the top player of "New Century", both called [Falcon].
New Century is a large-scale competitive game that ranks T0 on the Federation's popularity list, and [Falcon Eagle] is ranked first on the strength list. He is a well-deserved professional-level player, and an existence that thousands of ordinary players cannot reach.
After thinking about it, the casting director shook his head secretly.
Falcon Eagle has always been a mysterious figure, never appearing in games or live streams. Yi Laizhe, who goes by the name "Falcon Eagle," must be a fan of Falcon Eagle, just like her.
A handsome, taciturn male fan who aims to be a big idol... is actually a good fan-attracting character.
In just a ten-minute video meeting, the casting director had already thought of many aspects.
The first amateur guest has been decided, and the remaining two candidates are the high-level players and the players who spend money.
The second round of preliminary screening is for players who pay for the game.
The official recommendation of the game is the top of the rich list in each region.
They thought the second round would go smoothly, but unexpectedly, they stumbled when it came to the players who paid for their services.
The amateurs interviewed were either greasy nouveau riche uncles who inadvertently revealed precious jewelry on their necks and wrists, or... they were the sons of wealthy families with naughty and arrogant temperaments.
The saying “Children from rich families are often arrogant, and children from noble families are often proud” is not without reason.
