Jiangsu TV's "Hi Fun" is a variety show that has been running for a long time. Because of its funny hosts and frequently updated variety game content, it is popular with audiences of many ages.
"Hi-Fun" is a long-running program with high popularity, so artists who appear on the show receive a lot of attention. If the artists themselves have high popularity, it can also boost the show's viewership, resulting in a win-win situation.
Sally immediately agreed upon receiving the invitation and adjusted Rong Yu's schedule.
After "Blood Mist," Sally didn't immediately give Rong Yu another role. Instead, she enrolled him in an acting training class so that he could have time to hone his skills and avoid causing viewers to get tired of seeing him in various dramas too often.
While it's not necessary to expect Rong Yu to deliver a stunning performance in every drama, at least she shouldn't become ordinary due to the frequency of her roles.
For an artist, what's more frustrating than being criticized is being ignored.
Sally doesn't take on drama roles, but she's happy to let Rong Yu appear on variety shows like "Hi Fun" which can bring publicity.
However, whether it was to stir up trouble or not, Jiangsu TV's "Hi Fantian" invited not only the main cast of "Blood Mist" but also the main cast of "The Ends of the Earth" and deliberately put them in the same episode!
When Sally received the notification, her expression stiffened, but only for a second before she immediately smiled. "Sure, we have no objections. It'll be fun for both production teams to promote together and play games together, won't it?"
The person in charge of HiFun said, "I knew it. Sally knows all about these things. Let's get the public relations going. I believe the ratings will definitely rise even higher after this episode is recorded and broadcast."
Sally: "It's a pleasure working with you."
HiFun's representative: "Happy to cooperate!"
Imagine the thrill of having two film crews who have already clashed countless times online share the stage and play games together!
Sally couldn't help but laugh out loud as she thought about it.
Of course, public relations still need to be prepared in advance, so as not to be caught off guard by the other party's unexpected actions.
That very night, Sally pulled the agents of the main characters of "Blood Mist" into a group chat. The eight agents discussed the matter in depth until late at night before finalizing a plan.
At the same time, Sally also notified Rong Yu's big fans, calling on fans with some organizational skills and leisure time to form a group to go to the studio of Jiangsu TV's "Hi Fan Tian". The number of people does not need to be large, mainly to support Rong Yu, and their tickets will be paid by the company.
Five days later, the recording of "Hi Fantian" began. The eight main characters of "Blood Mist" and the six members of "Tianya Zhichi" were all present. When they met backstage, although everyone had polite smiles on their faces, the undercurrents were unspoken.
The five hosts greeted the actors backstage and could clearly sense the subtle tension in the atmosphere.
After all, this is a new drama that has been the subject of much online debate. Everyone loves surfing the internet, and even if they didn't like surfing before, once they've entered this industry, they have to love it even if they don't.
The more you surf the internet, the more trending topics you see, and the more drama you watch, the harder it is for even crew members who initially had no connection to maintain a normal communication mindset when they meet face-to-face for the first time—even if they can maintain it on the surface, they still have some emotions inside.
The hosts and directors of "Hi-Fun" could clearly feel the sparks flying between the two production teams, and they were even more excited—if this episode aired, the ratings would be guaranteed! Absolutely!
The production team was eager to get started, and the hosts were secretly planning to get a meal or two from the production team after this episode's recording, otherwise they would feel they had wasted their hard work on this episode.
Because there were many people, "HiFun" suggested that they start by singing their respective theme songs together, which would save some time. Since the main cast of "Blood Mist" had two more people than "The Ends of the Earth," during the game, three of the five hosts would be assigned to the "The Ends of the Earth" team, one host to the "Blood Mist" team, and one as a referee.
The six main characters in "The Ends of the Earth are Within Reach" are: Lu Xiaoyang (male lead), Ming Qian (second male lead), the third male lead, the female lead, the second female lead, and the third female lead.
The eight members of the "Blood Mist" crew are: Rong Yu, Director of the General Bureau, Head of the Major Crimes Unit (hereinafter referred to as "Team Leader" in the game), male team member, female team member, forensic doctor, baby face, and rich second generation.
Because there were so many people, "High Fever" chose a competitive game mode, allowing the two film crews to compete in the game and, as a gesture of goodwill, provided them with beginner, intermediate, and advanced devilish acupressure mats.
In addition, the host smiled and showed various punishment juices. Looking at those juices that smelled strange, many people showed expressions of unbearable discomfort.
Amidst their wrinkled expressions, the enthusiastic host cheerfully announced the details of the first game.
This is a very cliché game, but many people still love to watch it – guess the song by listening to the intro.
So, it's time to test the music library!
The hosts, who were divided into two groups, skillfully began to organize the two teams to shout slogans and encouraged each other to exchange words.
Since the production team of "Hi-Fun" invited these two teams to the same episode, they never intended for them to act like a close-knit family.
Opposition is opposition, let's get things arranged! We're always looking for drama! Let's get this party started!
The Blood Mist protagonist group naturally sent out Rong Yu to make some tough remarks.
The main characters of "The Ends of the Earth" also took the opportunity to introduce Lu Xiaoyang to make some tough statements.
Lu Xiaoyang, ever the opportunist, deliberately struck an arrogant pose, pointing at Rong Yu with both fingers and raising his chin: "I believe you are very capable, but victory will definitely be ours!"
Rong Yu listened attentively to him, then suddenly the corners of her mouth turned up to reveal Wu Xiaoye's signature smile—a smile that has become a meme and has been circulated countless times online.
"Oh, then we'll wait and see."
Lu Xiaoyang, who was facing that expression directly: "..."
The audience members who saw this expression on the big screen were speechless.
Wait a minute! Isn't this Wu Xiaoye's line every time he appears and completely defeats the murderer?
Although it may seem a bit cringeworthy, many people actually enjoy this cringeworthy style!
Seemingly not wanting to be overwhelmed by Rong Yu's aura from the start, Lu Xiaoyang stretched out his hand and made a thumbs-down gesture towards Rong Yu.
Rong Yu then raised her arm and made a "please" gesture.
Please begin your performance.
The hosts cheered, "Look what a show!"
The two returned to their respective teams, and the host who was assigned to Rong Yu's team quickly asked, "Does Xiao Yu often sing and memorize songs at home?"
Rong Yu remained calm: "No."
The host assigned to this group: "..."
What's with that confident look on your face?
The host then turned his attention to the other members of the Blood Mist protagonist group.
After a few seconds, the male actor playing the forensic doctor quietly raised his hand: "I prefer listening to music, you should be able to guess, right?"
The host immediately perked up: "Are you sure we can beat them?"
Forensic pathologist: "Uncertain."
Host: "Then why do you all look so relaxed? The loser has to step on the acupressure mat!"
The eight people exchanged a knowing glance. The forensic doctor coughed lightly and explained on their behalf, "Because Director Chen has a habit: if any of us have too many takes, we have to stand on the pressure point mat and memorize our lines as punishment. If we take another take, we have to jump on the pressure point mat while memorizing our lines."
The forensic doctor gazed silently at the sky and sighed, "We've all been there!"
The host: "..." The host silently looked at the acupressure mat placed to the side, which was used as punishment. Looking at the protrusions on it that resembled bamboo shoots, the host silently swallowed.
You've all gotten used to it, but I haven't!
The host could only frantically pray that his brain was sharp enough to remember the intros of the songs the production team randomly played.
Unfortunately, the Blood Mist group really didn't know the songs. Apart from the forensic doctor being able to guess a couple of songs, they would just wait for the other side to quickly guess the song titles, and then they would stand there waiting to be blasted with cold air.
Of course, they were quite eager to grab the microphone, but they always answered incorrectly.
After several rounds, everyone except the rich second-generation actor who used a lot of hairspray ended up with messy, bird's-nest-like hair.
With her hair all messy, Rong Yu stood leisurely on the bamboo shoot... oh no, the acupressure mat, and calmly summarized to the audience: "After we get home this time, we will definitely catch up on our studies."
The host, grinning as he stood firmly among the Blood Mist protagonists, said, "Let me add something here: this indirectly proves that our program didn't leak any questions!"
The audience burst into good-natured laughter.
The second game is Blindfolded ...
The game is divided into three rounds. In the first round, two people are assigned to each round, one carrying the other on their back. In the second round, four people are assigned to each round, forming two groups. The third round is a free-for-all.
The first two people sent by the Blood Mist team were Rong Yu and the male artist playing the role of the General Administration. This male artist was tall and muscular, and looked very powerful.
The other side, Tianya Zhichi, sent Lu Xiaoyang and Ming Qian. Whether it was intentional or unintentional, they wanted to pit Rong Yu and Ming Qian, who were both from the same boy group, against each other.
However, when Lu Xiaoyang decisively carried Ming Qian on his back, causing the CP fans on the scene to scream excitedly, he turned around and saw Rong Yu loosen his muscles and bones, then bend down and carried the tall Director on his back in one go!
With a completely nonchalant expression, Ren Rongyu carried him on her back and even made a gesture of flexing her muscles towards the opposite side.
Mingqian, who was also being carried on someone's back but whose figure was as thin as a boiled chicken, said, "..."
