Chapter 776: The Mermaid (39)
Gu Chuan: "My acting skills aren't very good either, so we can practice more. After all, this variety show is live. But you don't need to feel too much pressure. From an outsider's perspective, we haven't been dating for very long, so it's normal to be a little awkward."
Wen Yan: "..."
"Is your job not a problem?"
"I can handle some work remotely, and if it's not me, there are others..."
Wen Wan: "Alright, if you want to participate, then we'll go. Let's make it clear first, I'll try my best to cooperate with you, but if it's exposed in the end, it's not my problem."
Gu Chuan: "Mm."
The news of Wen Wan and Gu Chuan's participation made the director feel like he had won the lottery. He agreed to all of Gu Chuan's requests, and he didn't dare to disagree. After all, it would be fine if the other party was someone from the entertainment industry, but the other party was General Gu Chuan. It was already unprecedented for him to come to his show.
And the other party had no objection to marketing, so the director launched a series of marketing strategies.
One by one, they made official announcements, and each announcement caused quite a stir.
The award-winning actor and actress, Chen Gui and Lin Qingya, are a married couple.
It can be said to be a memory of a generation, and it has been a long time since it was released. It can be said to be the top star of the parents' generation. Because the children have grown up, it also wants to make a comeback, and this dating reality show comes at just the right time.
Let's trigger a wave of nostalgia.
The second couple is top idol Qi Haoxuan and popular actress Liu Xiyue. Both of them were in the rising stage of their careers, but they were suddenly photographed by paparazzi at the same hotel and even entered the same room for a whole night. Their relationship was suddenly exposed, and Qi Haoxuan lost a lot of fans. Although Liu Xiyue is not an idol, she is also very popular, so it can be said that the two of them were seriously hurt.
Now that the relationship has been exposed, they simply admitted it and wanted to participate in this variety show, hoping to create a CP (couple pairing) and gain acceptance from fans, and also enjoy some CP fan benefits, since nowadays people love to ship handsome men and beautiful women as a couple.
As expected, after the official announcement of the pairing, the fans of both sides engaged in a fierce online battle, which became a trending topic and generated a lot of buzz.
The third couple is also quite remarkable: A-list actress Chen Chuhong and her domineering CEO husband Li Lin, whom she married into a wealthy family. Chen Chuhong rose to fame with a film and went on to star in several critically acclaimed works, winning the Best Actress award. At the peak of her career, she married into a top-tier wealthy family, the Li family. Crucially, her husband is a notorious playboy, making their relationship a subject of intense public interest. Numerous rumors, both true and false, circulated, ranging from allegations of domestic violence by Li Lin to claims that Chen Chuhong became a mere baby-making machine. The more sensational their life together was, the more discussion it generated among netizens.
The last pair, and the last to be announced.
When Wen Wan and Gu Chuan's names appeared, the entire internet exploded, and countless people flooded the show's official Weibo account.
Their popularity quickly surpassed that of the other couples, and they even dominated the trending topics list.
This is the first time General Gu Chuan has appeared in public; previously, only a few photos of him surfaced at various serious occasions.
Or perhaps it's because they started dating that they appeared in Wen Wan's live stream.
Wen Wan's AI brain was constantly busy all morning. Many friends called to ask questions. Haitang was a fan of the movie star and asked Wen Wan to help her get an autograph. Many classmates were fans of top star Qi Haoxuan and rising star Liu Xiyue. In short, whether they were fans or not, they all seemed to be fans.
Wen Wan wasn't nervous at first, but the surge in traffic made her start to get a little nervous.
...
The audience eagerly awaits it.
Soon it was time to film the show, and as soon as the live broadcast camera started rolling, countless viewers flooded into the live stream.
Of the four live streams, Gu Chuan and Wen Wan's live streams had the highest popularity, followed by the top actress's live stream, the Best Actor and Best Actress's live stream in third place, and the CEO's live stream in fourth.
First, there were the live streams of the award-winning actors and actresses.
The villa where the two lived was quiet, understated yet luxurious, and the house was exceptionally cozy. The two, being an old married couple, were not awkward at all and acted very naturally, giving the audience a good dose of their sweet romance.
Next up was the live stream of a top celebrity and a rising star. The two were living together for filming, and the live stream was noisy from the very beginning.
The top-tier fans felt that the young actress was not good enough for their idol, while the young actress felt that her idol was too low-class and not good enough for her older sister. When they saw the two of them appear, they started to frantically control the comments, as if they wanted to win against each other.
The two also tried their best to express their good relationship, and creating a CP (couple pairing) was something they were very good at, and many viewers also became fans of this CP.
Next up was the live stream of CEO Li Lin and Chen Chuhong, which had the lowest viewership. However, the moment that mansion appeared, the popularity skyrocketed because it truly lived up to its reputation as a top-tier wealthy family. Was this really a mansion? It was a massive villa complex.
They're incredibly wealthy and inhumane.
Chen Chuhong is completely different from the rumored image of being mistreated by her wealthy mother-in-law, cheated on by her wealthy husband, and subjected to domestic violence, appearing haggard. She has a gentle appearance, an air of nobility, and is dressed exquisitely with impeccable makeup.
There are also two rows of servants in the house.
This is simply the enviable life of a wealthy socialite, and the domineering CEO Li Lin is also refined and handsome, quite different from the average playboy, and completely unlike those domineering CEOs who are full of bloated fat.
Finally, it was time for the highly anticipated live stream featuring Wen Wan and Gu Chuan.
The production crew arrived at Gu Chuan's villa early in the morning. Although it wasn't as luxurious as the CEO's house, it was still quite large, and the location was not one that ordinary people could afford; it was a place that only high-ranking officials and nobles could obtain.
Viewers initially thought the two would be like other live streamers, showering viewers with displays of affection, but that wasn't the case.
Gu Chuan opened the door, and everyone was immediately captivated by his handsome face.
Without any beauty filters or editing, Gu Chuan didn't even wear makeup; he appeared completely bare-faced, wearing a white short-sleeved shirt, and his well-defined arm muscles made countless perverts groan.
"General, can we go in?" the crew member asked cautiously. After all, this was no ordinary person; it was his first time filming a legendary general, and it was impossible for him not to be nervous.
"Come in."
Although the general had a cold expression, he was actually quite easy to talk to.
Upon entering the room, the staff began taking pictures of the surrounding environment. He was also somewhat shocked; the room was truly... a bit too girly.
Pink curtains, a pink sofa, and even a bright-colored rug next to the sofa. Numerous plush toys are scattered in various corners—on the sofa, the table, and the floor.
There are also many flowers, grasses, and strange and unusual green plants.
It's too heartwarming.
While helping Wen Wan tidy up her dolls, Gu Chuan went to the kitchen to make breakfast. The staff were stunned to see the dignified general wearing a bear apron, frying eggs and bread in the kitchen. The sudden display of his down-to-earth nature moved countless dreamers in the live broadcast room to tears.
