The three-day holiday ended in the blink of an eye, and Bai Yan returned to the studio to record the next episode.
The elimination of the actors also reduced the original large crowd in the villa to only one-third.
Teacher Zheng gathered the remaining actors together and announced the rules for the next stage.
"We invited five directors, including Director An. The next twenty people will be divided into five groups to compete. The competition will be held once a week. The five directors will be responsible for filming each group, and the mentor team will score the weekly segments based on the support of the online audience."
"The PK tournament lasted for a month, and in the end only two people were left to compete for the championship and runner-up."
As soon as Teacher Zheng finished speaking, many actors on the stage became nervous. It was a competition where 18 people would be eliminated within a month, which meant that at least 3 people would be eliminated every week!
After the rules are announced, each guest will be interviewed individually.
Up until the last public performance, Lulu had the highest popularity due to her 'righteous statement,' so she was the first person the reporter interviewed.
"Lulu, you said before that if the show lets Bai Yan advance in this round, you will choose to quit 'King of Variety Shows'. When will you quit?"
Lulu's face darkened instantly when the reporter pressed his face so close to hers. Seeing this, the staff next to her quickly intervened, saying, "Sorry, you are only allowed to ask questions about the variety show's schedule."
The reporter apologized and then continued interviewing Lulu according to the script.
Lulu finished the interviews with a stiff expression. After going upstairs and returning to her room, she stomped her feet, trembling all over, and cried out, "Aaaaaah! Damn it! It was on purpose! The production team did it on purpose!"
They're using her as a publicity stunt! Bastards, they're all bastards!
Behind the monitor, Zhu, with goji berries steeping in his thermos, took a satisfied sip: "Yeah, so what if he did it on purpose? Variety shows need buzz!"
Didn't Lulu reap the benefits when she was creating her persona? She should bear the consequences of her downfall.
"Director, Lulu is so popular. If we treat her like this, what if she becomes famous and then tries to mess with us?" the assistant director worried.
Zhu Ze scoffed, "What are you thinking? Do you think she's Bai Yan?" Zhu Ze pointed to his eyes, "These eyes of mine are the ruler. I bet you, once she leaves my variety show, she'll only become more and more obscure!"
As long as Bai Yan remains popular, this matter will always be brought up. Bai Yan can't fade away, so it can only be Lulu.
Meanwhile, the other actors were also being interviewed.
"Who would you most like to partner with?" the reporter asked.
"Bai Yan".
"Who are you most afraid of competing against?" the reporter asked again.
"Bai Yan".
After the interview, Bai Yan not only became the most popular co-star among the actors, but also the most feared villain.
Interviewing Bai Yan was a different story. When the reporter asked Bai Yan who she would most like to partner with, Bai Yan smiled slightly and said, "I want to answer Fang Yaming. Yaming and I have a very good relationship and get along well. But I know what you want to hear?"
The reporter was stunned. Bai Yan smiled and looked at her: "Then let's go with Lulu. I'm really looking forward to teaming up with her."
[Hahaha, this is hilarious! Our Sister Bai really knows how to make a good show!]
[Here comes the iconic scene! Come on, editor, let me teach you how to edit it! Remember, first edit Lulu's earlier statement, 'If Bai Yan advances, she'll quit the variety show,' then edit Bai Yan's line, 'I'm really looking forward to working with her.']
Song Hansheng also gave an interview. The reporter asked him if he had any thoughts about teaming up with Bai Yan this time, after he helped her clarify things online last time.
Song Hansheng's eyes showed displeasure: "No, I don't want to be with Bai Yan at all."
"The last competition was just an accident. I didn't think Bai Yan was that much stronger than me." If he hadn't been worried about Chen Lian, he wouldn't have lost.
[Hmm... the Crown Prince is still the same as before, equally criticizing any actress except Chen Lian.]
Am I the only one who thinks he's too 'plain'? His acting is always the same old thing. It's fine if his fans praise him, but does he really think he's that great?
You're not alone...
...
An and the other four directors, as well as the mentors, were also interviewed.
When asked who her favorite actress was, An answered Bai Yan without hesitation, and the entire interview revolved around her.
This caused the director, who had worked with An several times before, to give him a suspicious look.
"I noticed you've changed since we last met?" He looked An up and down.
“Really?” An straightened his suit. “I did undergo a transformation that helped me find meaning in life.”
What does it mean?
An looked at Bai Yan, who was being interviewed in the crowd ahead, and smiled as she glanced at the director who had spoken to her: "I heard you just got divorced not long ago? Someone as unfortunate as you probably wouldn't understand."
The director: Damn!
He was mocked by a perpetually single guy!
Wait... An is no longer single?
An Gang was about to walk towards Bai Yan when he saw Bai Yan and Fang Yaming being surrounded by a group of fans who had come to visit the set and were taking pictures of them. They were also jokingly asking them to pose like a couple. The group of girls were all quite young.
Bai Yan and Fang Yaming did as instructed, pinching her cheeks, hugging her waist, and even giving her an extra kiss.
An paused, then glanced down at the rankings of the CP (couple) supertopic: the current number one CP is 'Yan Sha' (艳杀). His face darkened.
Meanwhile, Chen Chen, who had already advanced to the second round, said in a personal interview that she had to withdraw from the next round of the competition due to health reasons.
Shen Lian also claimed to be ill and temporarily postponed her appearance on the variety show.
...
On the first day of the PK competition, Bai Yan was divided into groups. She took the card she had drawn and went into her rehearsal room. About five minutes later, the door was pushed open, and Song Hansheng, who had a cold face, became even colder after seeing Bai Yan.
[Hahaha, this is hilarious! The Crown Prince said he least wanted to team up with Sister Bai. What a mess! Will they both suffer a crushing defeat in the first round of the competition because they don't get along?]
Will the Crown Prince refuse to cooperate with Sister Bai this time?
