Chapter 360 I am the Ageless Goddess (Sixteen)
"Xiao Yikun, although you are young, I, as the shopkeeper, believe in your ability."
Gu Qingcheng acted like a big boss. She started with the "rookie". "I'll give you two hours. Before seven o'clock, you either earn three hundred yuan or get ingredients of equal value."
Xiao Yikun: ...
His eyes were a little dazed, and he pointed a finger at himself: "Me?"
Just me?
As the shopkeeper and the "official partner" of the program group, shouldn't you go "begging" with me?
"Yes! It's you! You are the best waiter in our Tongnan Inn! You have both good looks and talent."
"I believe in you! You can do it!"
Gu Qingcheng was like a black-hearted boss, working hard to exploit his poor employees.
Xiao Yikun swallowed his saliva and asked, "What if I don't finish it?"
When recording the first two episodes of "Star Inn", the show adopted the routines of most variety shows - setting tasks and making things difficult for the guests.
If you finish it, you have food to eat! If you fail to finish it, you will go hungry! This time, the production team made an "immersive script killing" and directly made a script.
Perhaps the script was written in a hurry, and the staff only had time to set up the relevant characters but did not carry out specific task requirements.
Just like this time, the program team only gave one plot - an inn with no business and about to go bankrupt finally had a heavyweight star come.
The shopkeeper wants to entertain guests warmly, try to retain them, and achieve a certain publicity effect.
Unfortunately, the inn was out of money, not even enough to prepare a sumptuous dinner.
This is a return to the routine of variety shows from the plot -
The big stars have to lower their status, perform their skills, or try to please passers-by, and find ways to get money or food.
...This is a good idea, combining the plot with the routine.
But the problem is, there is no punishment!
Perhaps, in the eyes of the staff, the entire script is a task.
As innkeepers, Gu Qingcheng and other guests have the mission to find ways to save the inn.
The mission failed, the inn was finished, the shopkeeper went bankrupt, and the guys lost their jobs! However, this would lead to a problem: Gu Qingcheng's identity had changed.
Originally, she, like everyone else, was a poor guest who was tormented by the program crew.
And with this script, she becomes the one who assigns tasks and decides on punishments.
Sure enough, Gu Qingcheng said, "Can't complete the task? Xiao Xiao, the country has its own laws, and the family has its own rules. Although our Tongnan Inn is small, it also has its own rules!"
"If you can't make money or get the ingredients, at best you won't have food to eat tonight, at worst you'll have your money deducted!"
Gu Qingcheng deliberately spoke in a dramatic voice, as if joking, "My deduction of money will affect your quality of life for the next two days."
At this point, Gu Qingcheng deliberately shouted towards the camera, "Director! Am I right?"
The director's mouth twitched!
He also realized that this improvised script had flaws.
However, the effect seems good.
"Xiao Yikun was forced by Gu Qingcheng to beg for food"
"Gu Qingcheng seeks revenge for personal gain"
"Xiao Yikun was exploited by a black-hearted shopkeeper"
Hey, let me ask you, is this title scary enough? Is it eye-catching enough? Not to mention Xiao Yikun's crazy fans, even ordinary passers-by would be curious if they saw it.
In fact, at this moment, the live broadcast room had exploded.
The dry fans feel sorry for their brother and despise the insidiousness and cunningness of this old woman, Gu Qingcheng.
"She did it on purpose! She must have done it on purpose!"
"Woo woo, my Kun is dumbfounded. He is so innocent, how could he have seen such a bad guy?"
"That's right, why should we let our Kun Kun get the money and even threaten him, starve him and deduct his salary?"
"Deduct money? Deduct your sister!"
"I-kun won't cry! We're not doing this anymore!"
The dry fans were howling and flooding the screen.
Although passers-by did not feel sorry for him, they still felt that Gu Qingcheng seemed to be targeting Xiao Yikun.
However, when ordinary netizens think about the online war of words between the two companies and the obscene language used by some brainless fans in the live broadcast room, they feel that it is understandable.
Besides——
"Sister is so cool! I love her revengeful temper!"
"In fact, there is no revenge. It's because the program team gave Her Majesty the Queen the character card of the shopkeeper."
"Yes, yes! As the boss, she has the right to assign work to the employees, and she also has the right to punish the employees who fail to complete the work!"
"Wow! I originally thought that this copycat plot was boring, but I didn't expect Gu Qingcheng to give me a surprise."
"Haha! You don't follow the routine and use loopholes to take revenge. You are worthy of being my Queen."
Gu Qingcheng's fans were screaming with excitement.
They originally liked domineering idols, and they would like Gu Qingcheng more when they saw her being so “decisive and ruthless”.
While fans and netizens continued to post comments in the live broadcast room, the director had already answered Gu Qingcheng's question: "Yes!"
"Xiao Yikun, you are a waiter at the inn. If your salary is deducted, it will also affect your quality of life tomorrow and the day after tomorrow."
The director actually agreed with Gu Qingcheng's "threat".
Xiao Yikun: ...So, I have to make money or get ingredients today.
Otherwise, not only will you have no food today, but you will also be hungry tomorrow and the day after tomorrow?
"Or, you can work hard to complete the task tomorrow and try to 'make up for your mistake'."
Gu Qingcheng continued to COS the black-hearted boss, her pair of beautiful eyes full of calculations, "However, no one can guarantee what problems our inn will encounter tomorrow!"
Her implication was obvious - the program crew was crappy.
Maybe we were too rushed today and the script has obvious loopholes.
After one night, the program team will definitely speed up the revisions.
By the time of recording the next day, the script will be more complete and the tasks will be more rigorous.
There was a loophole today and Xiao Yikun couldn’t complete the task.
So tomorrow, haha, poor little Kun Kun, he can only wish him good luck.
Xiao Yikun: ...Thank you, but I was not comforted.
Xiao Yikun is young, but not stupid.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
His "single stupidity" is just a personal setting.
Gu Qingcheng's hint was very clear, and Xiao Yikun naturally understood it.
He deliberately showed a miserable smile, "No way! Will there be even bigger problems tomorrow?"
As a newly crowned film emperor and a veteran in the entertainment industry, Chen Xuan is very good at stealing the spotlight.
Variety shows are originally "group portrait dramas", and they do take the status of the stars into consideration when giving shots.
But more of it is about pursuing "variety show effect".
Many big-name artists, when appearing on variety shows, cannot lower their status or let go of themselves, and are always dignified and reserved during recording.
If there is no sense of variety show at all, the production team will reduce the number of shots.
Some artists may not be very famous, but they can let themselves go and know how to grab the spotlight, so they can get more attention.
Even explosive! If you want to get more shots, you must know how to "grab".
The focus of this afternoon's "drama" seemed to be Gu Qingcheng and Xiao Yikun.
The program crew's cameras were all focused on them.
Chen Xuan and Song Sizhe seemed to have become backdrops.
Song Sizhe is a rich second-generation and an amateur actor. He does not have such a great demand for exposure.
But Chen Xuan is different.
He needs shots and more attention.
In the first two episodes, Chen Xuan successfully sold the persona of a "warm man" with his decent cooking skills and the maturity of an older brother or uncle.
In the same program, there were people like Gu Qingcheng who were mocked by the whole network, and Liang Yihan who was blackened by the whole network, which further highlighted the "warmth" of Chen Xuan.
Many ordinary audiences and netizens have become fans of the show.
After the first episode was broadcast, Chen Xuan was given labels such as "the warmest actor" and "good family man".
What's more, a well-known director invited him to star in the fantasy drama he had been preparing for three years.
Although he is not the male lead, he plays a very important role in the play and has a very colorful character.
He is the heroine's salvation and the hero's faith. He is an unparalleled male second character who is gentle to the bone and kind to the depths of his soul.
Chen Xuan read the script and liked the role very much.
And he knew even more that he was able to receive this invitation thanks to "Star Inn".
He must play the role of a gentle and caring man in a profound way.
But, being a warm-hearted man doesn't mean giving in.
retreat?
In the entertainment industry, which is a place of fame and fortune, grabbing the C position and competing for traffic is the kingly way.
If people can't see it in front of the camera, no one will know that he is so "warm" in private! So, seeing that the cameras in the show were tilted towards Gu Qingcheng and Xiao Yikun, Chen Xuan subconsciously began to add drama to himself.
"Kun Kun, don't worry too much, we will help you!"
Chen Xuan has a good voice, and when he controls it carefully, it is actually quite magnetic.
It's not the kind of subwoofer that is criticized, but the kind of masculine voice that can make people feel dependent and feel that the other person is gentle when listening to it.
Sure enough, as soon as he said this, some cameras started to give him a close-up.
As a professional actor, Chen Xuan has a very good sense of camera.
He noticed it the moment the camera zoomed in.
However, he still maintained a faint smile, and the look he gave Xiao Yikun was that of an older brother's tolerance.
"Ahhh, Teacher Chen is so gentle and doting!"
"Yes! He is so nice to us KunKun!"
"This is a true senior, not relying on his seniority to bully others, but willing to help the younger generation!"
"That's right! A certain old woman should learn more!"
Xiao Yikun's fans were moved and posted comments in the live broadcast room.
Xiao Yikun is not as naive as his fans.
Chen Xuan said he wanted to help, but he was just trying to steal the spotlight.
They are all foxes who have become spirits, so who doesn't know who? Xiao Yikun quickly pretended to be grateful, "Thank you, Brother Chen!"
The camera tilted towards Xiao Yikun again.
Gu Qingcheng sneered, "Chef Chen, don't rush to help others! You also have KPIs!"
Swish! The camera turned back to Gu Qingcheng...
