A day or two later, Luo Jiu still hadn't received any news from the production team, but she was constantly busy with work.
After several trending topics, the web series "Jin Shu Xing" gained widespread popularity, and its viewership ratings soared dramatically. The episodes featuring Luo Jiu even outperformed other TV dramas airing at the same time.
Subsequently, the production team of "Jin Shu Xing" received many invitations to variety shows.
After several rounds of selection, Ling Yan, who plays the male lead, and Luo Jiu were invited to a long-running variety show called "Saturday Party".
An indoor variety show that combines talk shows and games.
Luo Jiu met Ling Yan backstage; it had been more than half a year since their last meeting.
"How is it going?"
The two had their dressing tables next to each other. The production team had made this arrangement because they hadn't seen each other for a long time and were worried that the two might become estranged, which would affect the show's effect.
When talking to someone as outgoing as Ling Yan, there's never any worry about awkwardness.
In just a few words, the two were brought back to their time on the film set.
“These kinds of shows usually have scripts, so there’s no need to worry too much. They know what they’re doing.”
Just before going on stage, Ling Yan whispered something in Luo Jiu's ear.
The atmosphere suddenly became somewhat ambiguous.
Luo Jiu didn't like people getting too close to her, so she nodded and subtly took two steps away.
"Xiaoyang, I heard your goddess has changed recently."
In the middle of the recording, a woman wearing a navy blue dress with slightly curly hair looked at her partner with a teasing expression.
"You...you know all that?" The male host looked surprised.
“You post her photos on WeChat every day, how could I not know? Let me tell you, the day this episode airs is your birthday, and the station has prepared a surprise for you.”
The male host feigned surprise, "It can't be..."
"Yes, your goddess is coming."
A staff member who noticed this immediately put up a life-size cardboard cutout of Luo Jiu from the drama.
"this……"
The male host looked speechless, as if he had been pranked, and his initial enthusiasm was instantly extinguished.
The male host made a move to leave, leaving behind the words: "Xiaomi, all these years have ultimately been wasted!"
"Hey, wait a minute, come back here!"
The exchange between the two amused the audience, who burst into laughter.
"I was lying to you."
"Welcome to the cast and crew of 'The Story of Jinshu' for Saturday's big party!"
Luo Jiu and the others walked out from behind the screen, their appearance enhanced even further by the stage lights.
"Luo Jiu! Goddess! Luo Jiu! Goddess!"
When Luo Jiu heard someone call her name, a hint of surprise flashed across her face. She looked up and saw that large areas of support lights were lit up in the audience, with yellow light boards almost covering the entire audience area.
They held up light boards and shouted their names loudly, and Luo Jiu felt a moment of unreality.
From Li Li and from the mouths of many people on set, Luo Jiu knew that she had become famous. But that was all she knew was that she was being noticed by many people.
But at this moment, Luo Jiu's heart was deeply touched. She realized that there really were so many people who liked her and cared about her.
It feels really good to be noticed.
Luo Jiu smiled and bowed to the countless audience members and fans who had come for her.
"Ahhh!"
This action, on the contrary, sparked even more enthusiastic cheers from the crowd.
"Okay, we've noticed that the fans who came today are very enthusiastic. Don't you agree, Xiaoyang?"
"Uh-huh."
Whether the male host genuinely liked Luo Jiu or was simply trying to maintain his persona, a hint of shyness flashed across his face as he looked at her.
"Then let's all introduce ourselves."
...
The rest of the time was spent talking with the host, sharing interesting stories from the set and discussing the characters' backgrounds. It was all very proper, with no mention of the Shuya incident from last time.
The two hosts were very good at creating a lively atmosphere, and the atmosphere was harmonious for a time. The audience watched the two main characters banter with smiles.
Luo Jiu is a very quiet person around people she doesn't know well, but when it's work, she can quickly get into the zone.
Because she was the main attraction and the source of viewership for this episode, the host would call on her from time to time.
Although there was a script, Luo Jiu still answered cautiously. She was very clear about the unspoken rules of variety shows, knowing exactly what to say and what not to say.
The ambiguous answer left the reader with endless room for imagination.
Everything was originally under Luo Jiu's control, but the recording moved on to the next segment.
Why has this show been able to remain so captivating for over a decade, even becoming a source of nostalgia for a generation?
Because of the inherent uncertainty of the show, unexpected events can occur in every episode, and through the punishments in the games, there will be unexpected "surprises" in each episode.
But this is also a way to attract attention and generate buzz. So there's a reason why Liu Zhen chose this program in the first place.
"Okay, I've checked, and it's Xiaoyan and Luojiu's first time on our show, so I won't make things difficult for you."
Today we'll play a very simple and classic game, costing one dollar and fifty cents.
"Everyone, run around me in a bit. Girls represent one yuan, and boys represent fifty cents. I'll say a number, and everyone gather in groups and hug each other. The loser will be punished!"
The female host's face revealed a malicious expression, which sent a chill down one's spine.
Because there weren't enough people, they selected a few lucky audience members, and a group of about twenty people ran around the female host.
"5.5 yuan"
As soon as the female host finished speaking, Luo Jiu didn't even need to move; a group of people wanted to surround her just by standing there.
After several rounds of close calls, the number of people on the field gradually decreased.
Luo Jiu has too many enthusiastic fans. She doesn't like physical contact, but she inevitably gets taken advantage of.
This game is all about your reaction time, agility, and athleticism.
Coincidentally, these things simply don't exist for a fat guy like Luo Jiu.
The host's beautiful eyes swept over the few remaining people, revealing a malicious smile, as if she was about to stir up trouble.
"Ready? It's the last game!"
"7.5 yuan!"
Luo Jiu, who was slow to react, finally failed and resignedly walked out of the game area.
The game's punishments are determined by drawing lots, and most of the ordinary fans are just experiencing the game and getting close to their idols without any punishment or relief.
Therefore, the focus of attention now shifts to the cast of "Jin Shu Xing," with Luo Jiu being the most anticipated.
After all, whether this episode will trend on social media depends on how effective Luo Jiu's punishment is.
Amidst the intense anticipation of everyone, Luo Jiu drew a card.
Call the first person of the opposite sex in your phone's call history.
Please follow the script provided by the production team during the call.
