Chapter 19 The Fallen Child Star 19

The first episode of the variety show lasted three days and two nights.

Today is the last day.

The live broadcast room still lights up at six o'clock on time.

Yao Rong was mopping the floor in the corridor.

After mopping the corridor, she walked to Xu Weiheng's door and knocked twice: "Get up and go for a run. I'll help you mop the floor in the room."

After a while, Xu Weiheng's sleepy voice sounded: "I'm not going to run. You put the mop at the door. I'll mop it myself when I wake up." There were a few

more knocks on the door outside.

After a stalemate of more than ten seconds, listening to the continuous knocks outside, Xu Weiheng finally accepted his fate, lifted the quilt and got up from the bed.

When the door opened, the first person Xu Weiheng saw was not Yao Rong, but the camera that was aimed at him and shot him to death.

Xu Weiheng's expression froze, and his sleepy mind suddenly woke up. He looked at Yao Rong standing behind the photographer and accused him, "You actually teamed up with the program team!"

Yao Rong shook the mop in her hand, saying that she was innocent, "I really just wanted to mop the floor."

The photographer was too dedicated.

When she knocked on the door, he picked up the camera and rushed over.

Xu Weiheng looked down at his sponge baby pajamas, touched his messed up hair, sighed in resignation, and reached out to take the mop, "Give it to me, I'll mop it later."

As he said this, he still complained a little, "I stayed up until three in the morning to finish watching "Light Years" in one go."

There was a reason why he couldn't get up for a morning run.

Last night, Yao Rong told him that her second science fiction novel, Light Years, had been finalized.

As a loyal reader, Xu Weiheng of course wanted to read it as soon as possible. As a result, he became more and more addicted to it and stayed up all night to finish it in one go.

[Hahahahaha Sponge Baby Pajamas. As expected, Xu Weiheng even wears yellow pajamas. He is a die-hard fan of yellow.]

Some viewers were interested in the novel mentioned by Xu Weiheng: [Light Years? What kind of novel is this? I just searched it and couldn't find it.]

However, these objective comments were soon drowned out by another voice.

[Help, these scenes of mother and son are so boring]

[Originally, I saw them on several hot searches, so I got interested and took a look. It’s so off the mark. Just this one can be on the hot searches. How much did it cost?]

"Go change clothes." Yao Rong opened his hand and showed the task card he just got. "The program team has issued the task card. We will set off after breakfast."

After Xu Weiheng changed clothes and finished breakfast, he and Yao Rong took a car together and rushed to check in at an attraction near Ying County.

The program team set up a half-day tour route for the two people. They need to set off along this route and complete tasks at each scenic spot. Only by completing the tasks can they complete the check-in for this scenic spot.

The tasks of the four groups of guests are similar, and the group with the shortest total time will receive an exquisite and luxurious lunch provided by the program team.

As for the other three groups, of course, they could only receive ingredients according to their ranking and make their own lunch.

When Xu Weiheng heard this, he was eager to win: "We have to compete for the first place."

Yao Rong teased: "Don't you like cooking recently? I thought you wanted to take the ingredients home and cook it yourself."

Since Xu Weiheng unlocked the cooking skill, he has cooked all the meals at home in the past two days.

He likes it, so Yao Rong let him do it.

It is definitely a good thing to master one more life skill.

Xu Weiheng said excitedly: "It's a waste not to take advantage of the program group."

While they were talking, they came to the first check-in point.

The program group set up links that include simple physical work, the ability of the guests to do things with their hands, and the game of "you draw, I guess" and "radish squat".

The most difficult part is the ability to do it.

But with Yao Rong, this part is actually the easiest one.

When their group had reached the fourth check-in point, the other three groups of guests were still stuck at the second check-in point.

However, this suspenseful performance not only did not win them any praise, but the condemnation in the barrage became more and more intense.

[Without team spirit, no wonder Xu Weiheng can't make good friends in the circle]

[If other guests are like this mother and son, then I suggest that the third season be stopped as soon as possible to stop the loss in time] [

Indeed, if all variety shows are played like this, domestic entertainment variety shows will sooner or later be out of fashion]

Not only did they badmouth "Dear Family", they also dragged down domestic entertainment variety shows, as if Yao Rong and Xu Weiheng had done something terribly wrong and dragged the entire domestic entertainment variety show to their grave.

Xu Weiheng's live broadcast room has 1.02 million viewers, and the vast majority are passers-by.

They originally didn't bother to pay attention to these stupid bullet screens, but the height of these bullet screens was really too high.

Moreover, in the past two or three days, Xu Weiheng's live broadcast room was filled with all kinds of smoke and miasma, and it was all a mess, which made some viewers who were watching the live broadcast quietly feel very upset.

I am not a fan of anyone, but everyone has a keyboard at hand. If you want to criticize me, you can't allow me to fight back if I am not used

to it? [I am a fortune teller, what are you? ]

[Are some people blind, saying that Xu Weiheng has no team spirit? Where does the team come from in this link? The four groups are

all competitors. Xu Weiheng has this ability, so why should he give way to your useless brother? ] Since Yao Rong showed off her carving skills in the live broadcast room, the audience did not call her "Xu Weiheng's mother" or call her by her name, but followed Xu Weiheng in calling her "Ms. Yao".

[If there is a team in this link, it is Xu Weiheng and Ms. Yao. I think, Xu Weiheng and Ms. Yao played the game of "You draw, I guess", and guessed 11 questions in one minute. This team has good tacit understanding. ]

And some knowledgeable people vaguely saw through the inside story:

[Is this a collective trap set by the navy? ]

[What we mean is, it's easy to make money from the navy. Even if there is no black spot, they can still blacken it. I can make a magic fairy castle out of it.]

But soon, those IDs who just used extreme words jumped out again: [Are you sick? I am a country girl with a high school education. I can blacken it if I want. Don't label me as a navy.]

[That’s right, I’m not a water soldier, nor am I a fan of anyone. Can’t passers-by say anything if they are not used to it? ]

The staff of the program team noticed the verbal battle in the live broadcast room at the first time, and hurried to notify the assistant director, asking him whether to manage the barrage, such as deleting all the extreme remarks in the barrage.

But the assistant director refused.

He said lightly: "If the gods fight, we won’t get involved."

How can an insider like him not understand something that even the audience can see?

As long as it doesn’t affect the ratings of the show, these things have nothing to do with him.

Why should he do this in vain.

***

The fourth level set by the program team is not difficult: Xu Weiheng and Yao Rong need to invite two pairs of parents and children, and the six people will complete the "Family Radish Squat" game together.

After listening to the rules of the game, Yao Rong looked at Xu Weiheng with a smile: "The task of inviting people is all up to you?"

Along the way, as long as Xu Weiheng could complete something by himself, she didn't want to get involved.

Especially this kind of communication with people is more suitable for training Xu Weiheng.

"No problem." Xu Weiheng looked around and pointed to the swing frame not far away, "You go there and sit for a while and wait for me."

"The small fan is also for you." Xu Weiheng handed the fan in his hand to Yao Rong.

Yao Rong took the small fan, sat on the swing, and watched Xu Weiheng running in the sun.

The system, which had not spoken for a long time, quietly appeared and told Yao Rong what happened in the live broadcast room.

At the end, the system also relayed the deputy director's reaction to Yao Rong.

"I know." Yao Rong sneered secretly.

Today is Sunday. It is 10:30 in the morning. Although the sun is not at its strongest, it is already a bit scorching.

Xu Weiheng walked on the road for a few minutes and entered the nearby community.

Unfortunately, there were not many people walking outside in this community. He finally found a father and son. After asking, he found out that the young man was taking the old man to the hospital. Xu Weiheng had to give up.

Suddenly, Xu Weiheng had a flash of inspiration. He remembered that when he drove over just now, he saw a sign for a children's playground nearby.

It might be difficult to find people in other places, but now it is the weekend, and there must be many parents who will take their children to the children's playground. There

will definitely be many guests who meet the requirements there.

The game of "radish squat" tests the reaction ability. There is no entry threshold. It is just right to play with children of a certain age.

Xu Weiheng did it immediately after thinking about it. He turned and rushed to the children's playground.

As soon as he entered the children's playground, he immediately attracted the attention of many parents. Even some children who were playing looked over curiously.

"Spaceship!"

"Dad, it's a spaceship!"

Suddenly, a little girl in denim overalls not far away pointed at Xu Weiheng and shouted to her father in a soft and sticky childish voice.

Xu Weiheng was confused for a moment before he realized that the other party was talking about him.

He pursed his lips, walked to the little girl's father, and briefly explained his purpose.

"I'll ask my daughter Lele what she thinks." The little girl's father hesitated for a moment, then turned around and waved to the little girl, "Lele, come here, are you willing to play games with this brother?"

The little girl rolled her round eyes and started to make a plan: "Uncle, can you give me the spaceship? My mother and I watched your show and really like that spaceship."

Uncle...Uncle?

Xu Weiheng's expression almost cracked.

He forced a smile and said, "Brother can't give it to you. It was given to brother by brother's mother."

In this short sentence, the three "brothers" were all emphasized.

The little girl pursed her lips and touched the loose soil on the ground with her toes: "Okay, uncle."

Xu Weiheng: "..."

This child looks so smart, but she can't get it right no matter how she calls him.

She must have done it on purpose. She

must have done it on purpose.

The little girl's father was a little embarrassed, and tried to smooth things over: "LeLe, call me brother."

The little girl nodded to her father, and looked at Xu Weiheng seriously: "I am willing to accept your invitation."

Xu Weiheng was amused by her, and the depression in his heart disappeared in an instant.

Children always have a magical power. They can drive people crazy with one sentence, and they can also make people feel soft with one sentence.

"I need to invite one more child. You and your father wait for me here."

Xu Weiheng touched her hair tied into two ponytails. It was soft. No wonder Ms. Yao always liked to secretly touch his hair.

"No need." The little girl was obviously a leader among the children. She waved her chubby hands and said, "I'll go and invite them for you. Wait for me here."

She trotted back to the group of children. Less than half a minute later, a silly-looking little boy came out with her, and the boy's mother followed behind them.

"Thank you." Xu Weiheng bent down and said to the little girl, "Your name is Lele, right? I'll treat you to lollipops later."

The task of inviting people was successfully completed. Xu Weiheng led the way in front and took them to meet Yao Rong.

After walking for about five minutes, Xu Weiheng saw Yao Rong.

She held the swing with one hand and waved to Xu Weiheng.

Xu Weiheng was about to say hello to her, but the little girl Lele behind him suddenly jumped in front of him, jumped and said to Yao Rong, "Sister Yao!"

Xu Weiheng's mouth twitched fiercely.

This brat!

Calling him uncle and Ms. Yao sister, the generations are all mixed up!

After the two sides merged, Lele was the only one who kept circling around Yao Rong, and was particularly sweet-mouthed. Later, when playing games, Lele was also the most active.

When the program team announced that the punch-in was completed, Lele was sweating from playing.

Xu Weiheng kept his promise and ran to a nearby store to buy lollipops for the two children.

Yao Rong squatted down and chatted with Lele.

Not knowing what Lele said, Yao Rong smiled and looked at Xu Weiheng.

Xu Weiheng was sensitive to Yao Rong's gaze and felt that Lele must not be saying good things about him.

Yao Rong leaned over to Lele's ear and whispered a few words.

Before being taken away by her father, Lele waved at Xu Weiheng and motioned him to squat down.

Xu Weiheng was a little confused and a little alert: "What are you going to do?"

Lele smiled and said, "Nothing, you are too tall, squat down, squat down."

Xu Weiheng had to squat down as she wished, thinking that Lele had just helped him a lot, and he would not object even if she wanted to pinch his face.

However, the fleeting warmth on his face made Xu Weiheng stunned.

——He thought the little girl would do something mean to him, but the little girl kissed his cheek.

When her mouth left, Lele's hand was still on Xu Weiheng's face to clean up the saliva she had smeared on it.

"Brother, don't be angry. Lele was just joking with you."

Lele stuffed a small note to Xu Weiheng, ran away with his hands behind his back, and did not forget to add one more sentence.

"Although you are not willing to give me the spaceship, I still like you very much! My father said that he would take me back to the orphanage to visit the director's mother next week. If you want to go and play together, remember to call my father."

Xu Weiheng stood up and unfolded the small note that Lele stuffed into his hand. Sure enough, there was a string of phone numbers written on it, and three crooked big characters.

"Qin Wenlin".

This should be the name of Lele's father.

He raised his right hand and touched the side of his face that was kissed by Lele. After a long time, the corners of his lips slightly curved, and his brows softened.

The falling sunlight sprinkled on his face, as if a gentle warm light was crushed and fell into his eyes.

[awsl I can really do this smile! ]

[Xu Weiheng's smile is too pure, I really want to be Qin Lele's soul]

[Damn, you are all envious of Qin Lele's good fortune, and I am the only one who is sighing that she is so good! ]

[The two children are very close to Xu Weiheng. Do those who scolded Xu Weiheng for being difficult to get close to feel embarrassed? Children are much better at judging people than you adults.]

After Qin Lele and his group walked away, the assistant director stood up and announced the time it took Yao Rong and the others: three hours and forty-two minutes.

After all, most of the time was spent on the road, Yao Rong and Xu Weiheng were quite satisfied with the result.

"After the results of the other three groups are out, you can go and enjoy the feast." The assistant director livened up the atmosphere and asked Xu Weiheng if he wanted to eat anything.

Xu Weiheng: "No."

Assistant director: "How could there be nothing? Is there no dish that Weiheng likes?"

Xu Weiheng smiled.

"I like the pickled fish made by Ms. Yao the most. Apart from this dish, there is nothing else I like. But who doesn't like delicious food, so I am looking forward to the feast prepared for us by the program team."

Now he can handle these interviews easily, and what he says is so thorough that no one can find any fault with it.

The other three groups are still working on the fourth level. Even if they finish quickly, they will have to wait for another half an hour. The program team certainly cannot let Yao Rong and Xu Weiheng stand in the sun. They took out a large sun umbrella from the car and gave them watermelon juice to cool down the two.

Yao Rong squinted his eyes comfortably, put his hand away the sweaty hair on his forehead, turned around and asked Xu Weiheng: "What did Lele say to you just now?"

"She invited me to visit the orphanage next week."

"Then she likes you very much."

Xu Weiheng was secretly happy, coughed, and asked Yao Rong with a serious look: "Then what were you whispering about just now? Did you ask Lele to kiss me?"

Qin Lele's attitude towards him was not so obedient at first, but after chatting with Yao Rong for a few words, she actually ran over to invite him and kissed him.

It was incredible.

Yao Rong spread her hands and told everything: "I just told her that if you like her, she can come to you often to see the spaceship."

She only said this, and the rest was all Qin Lele's own performance.

Xu Weiheng and the live broadcast room laughed at the same time.

[I can only say: Too good, too good, Qin Lele, you are too good]

[You don't know how much I envy the emotional intelligence of a five-year-old girl now]

"She is so smart." Xu Weiheng praised.

Who can resist this.

After waiting for a while, before twelve o'clock, the other three groups also successfully completed the task.

The program team's dinner did not disappoint, and it was specially prepared on the spot by a state banquet chef.

Just after finishing a sumptuous meal, there was the sound of a car braking outside the door, followed by a series of unhurried knocks on the door.

"Who is here?" Xu Weiheng asked curiously.

Yao Rong thought "Here he is," but she also had a confused look on her face: "Let's go and take a look."

The photographer followed Yao Rong and Xu Weiheng to the door.

When he walked to the door of the B&B carrying the camera, Editor-in-Chief He just got out of the passenger seat.

Secretly glancing at the camera, Editor-in-Chief He was in high spirits and greeted Yao Rong enthusiastically: "Ms. Yao, long time no see. I'm here to give you a sample book."

Originally, the sample book of "Starry Sky" was not printed so quickly, but after Editor-in-Chief He listened to Yao Rong's promotional ideas, he immediately made a decision and ordered everyone in the publishing house to fully cooperate with the release of "Starry Sky".

After much haste, the sample books were finally printed before the first episode began recording.

The time for the visit was naturally agreed upon by Yao Rong and Editor-in-Chief He.

Yao Rong exchanged glances with Editor-in-Chief He and said, "You must have driven here for a long time. Come in and have a cup of tea."

"Is it convenient? I see you seem busy."

"It won't take long to have a cup of tea."

Editor-in-Chief He's assistant jogged from the driver's seat to the trunk and took out a stack of books from the trunk.

After entering the courtyard, Chief Editor He unpacked the stack of books, stuffed one book into Yao Rong's hand, stuffed another book into Xu Weiheng's hand, and held one in his own hand.

In addition, whether intentionally or unintentionally, there were four books spread out on the table.

The camera kept shooting at Yao Rong and Xu Weiheng. In addition, the program team had sufficient funds, and the live broadcast camera they purchased was the highest-definition camera at the time, so naturally the cover of the book and the title were clearly captured: Millions of people in

the "Starry Sky"

live broadcast room could see it clearly.

Xu Weiheng immediately admired the cover of the novel and the introduction at the back, muttering to himself: "The final destination of the starry sky explorer is to stay in the starry sky. This slogan is really good, and the cover is also well designed."

He began to flip through the papers inside: "The paper feels good and the printing is very clear."

Then, Xu Weiheng raised his eyes, looked at the camera, and explained: "Do you remember the decorations you saw in my room that day?"

"HX rocket, H-8 space suit, spaceship, all are described in this novel."

"Because I like this novel very much, Ms. Yao carved them out and gave them to me as novel peripherals."

At this moment, Editor-in-Chief He looked at Xu Weiheng and he really liked him.

He had always thought that Xu Weiheng was handsome.

Now he found that this kid was extremely handsome.

Look at the intensity of the flattery, the praise from the heart, which was much more professional than the person he specially arranged, that is, his assistant.

So he smiled and said, "Since receiving the manuscript from Ms. Yao, our publishing house unanimously believes that this is the most surprising science fiction novel we have seen this year. Whether it is the excitement of the plot, the fullness of the emotions, or the level of detail description, it is unparalleled."

"So our publishing house has spent a lot of effort to publish this book, just to get it out in the shortest time. If Ms. Yao thinks there is no problem with the sample book, this book can be officially on the market in half a month."

After all, as a writer, Editor-in-Chief He is much more professional than Xu Weiheng when it comes to praising books.

Yao Rong placed a cup of brewed tea next to Chief Editor He and said gently: "Chief Editor He, please arrange it. I have no problem. By the way, my second book "Light Years" has also been completed. You can just make a copy and take it back later?"

How can it be enough to promote only one book?

This is a rare opportunity, so of course both books should be shown.

Anyway, it would be a waste not to take advantage of the program team.

Chief Editor He clapped his hands and said in surprise: "No problem! This is great!"

【??? 】

【Who can tell me what is going on? 】

The assistant director was also thinking at this moment: Who can tell him what is going on? ???

If he is not mistaken, are Yao Rong and the editor-in-chief of this publishing house openly using their variety show platform to promote their novels?

"This... Director, should we stop?" The staff was so dumbfounded that they turned to ask the assistant director.

The assistant director frowned hard: "I'll go talk to Yao Rong."

He coughed hard several times and gestured to Yao Rong.

Yao Rong walked out of the camera holding the book in his hand, came to the assistant director, and smiled kindly: "Director, you are looking for me?"

The assistant director smiled bitterly: "Ms. Yao, aren't you going a little too far?"

Yao Rong smiled good-temperedly: "I was also surprised that Editor-in-Chief He suddenly came to my house. If you think it's inappropriate, you can cut this part."

Assistant director: "..."

The publishing house didn't give them money, and this part would definitely be cut in the official version, but now the audience in the live broadcast room have seen the book, and the goal of Yao Rong and the publishing house has been achieved.

The assistant director had a tearful face: "Ms. Yao, you know what I mean. You're making it very difficult for me."

Yao Rong, who was still smiling just now, instantly withdrew the smile on her face.

She looked at the assistant director with a cold expression.

For some reason, the assistant director shuddered when she looked at him.

Yao Rong lowered her eyes slightly, restrained her momentum, and said calmly: "When recording the show these days, director, you often set traps for me when you speak. That's fine, after all, you are also trying to add explosive points to the variety show. But I think it's not difficult for you to clean up the barrage in the live broadcast room and ban some IDs from speaking?"

"Since it only takes a word to give an order, why are you still unwilling to do it?"

The assistant director opened his mouth, full of surprise.

That was a private conversation between him and his subordinates, how did she know it! ?

"You..." The assistant director wanted to deny it, but the other party's words were so clear, who knew if he had any evidence in his hand.

After spending these few days together, the assistant director did not think Yao Rong was a simple character.

"How about this, I will ask someone to clean up those barrages right away, what do you think?" The assistant director took a step back.

Yao Rong's lips curled slightly, and he also took a step back: "Thank you very much, director. Actually, Editor-in-Chief He just came in to have a cup of tea. I gave him the manuscript and he left."

The assistant director's mouth twitched hard.

You have all finished the promotion, and the editor-in-chief can of course retire.

But...

hey, after all, it was the program team that was not honest first, and the assistant director had to hold his nose and admit it.
