The 48th melon
During the days when the variety show was on break, Lin Cha was filming on the set.
She is a supporting actress and has fewer roles than the main character. She will finish filming half of it this week and will continue filming for another week after the fourth episode of the variety show, which will be almost done.
The night before the variety show recording, Lin Cha finally returned to her comfortable little nest.
——It was Sun Qianqian who sent her back personally.
Sun Qianqian has been coming to Zijinhua Community quite frequently recently, but maybe she's a good boss, so she's particularly attentive to the new employees.
After washing up, Lin Cha crawled into her warm bed.
【I wonder what gossip is going on recently? 】
Lin Cha looked through several apps on her phone that could be used to eat melons. They were all boring melons, and many of them were fake. They were completely inferior to her melon-eating system.
The only eye-catching thing is that "Leisure Life" revealed the guest lineup for the fourth episode, and the creative team of "Painting Bones" will be the flying guests of the show.
Netizens are very interested in the guest lineup for each episode of "Leisure Life".
[“Painted Bones” is actually going to be on “Leisure”! Mr. Sun is really talented and bold! Isn’t he afraid that the actors will collectively fall apart on the show?]
[Let’s get rid of this sooner rather than later! Otherwise, something bad will happen after the show airs! Dog head. Dog]
[That's right. Last year, that popular young actress evaded taxes. All three major platforms had her S-rated blockbusters, and then it went under. What a shame! If you're going to expose this, do it sooner rather than later. That way, there won't be any worries!]
[It's true. Every time something goes wrong, it's the lead actor, but it's the entire crew who suffers. After all, it's the hard work of hundreds of people! It's good that the lead actors are participating in the show. It's better to get rid of this cancer as soon as possible!]
[By the way, among the main characters of "Painted Bones" is Chen Zui, right? How could Chen Zui not fall apart?]
[Speaking out, Shenzui's true fans! Although we have a lot of gossip about Shenzui, it's all gossip, not real scandals! Instead of caring about Shenzui, don't you think about the new female lead in "Painted Bone," Fang Yueyao?]
[Oh shit! I actually forgot! The new female lead on Painted Bone is Fang Yueyao! She's known for her beef with Lin Cha! Who knows what's going to happen if these two appear on the same show!]
[Looks like this episode of the variety show is going to be fun again~ hehe~]
After reading the comments online, Lin Cha specifically searched for Fang Yueyao's information.
Fang Yueyao was originally just a second-tier artist, but recently she has inexplicably obtained a lot of resources, and also got the opportunity to play the leading female role in "Painted Bones", and her upward momentum is very strong.
The key point is that Lin Cha checked the melon-eating system and found that Fang Yueyao and her were not on good terms!
Fang Yueyao debuted earlier than Lin Cha. The two once had a conflict over fighting over the same dress on the red carpet. Fang Yueyao was ridiculed on the red carpet for wearing an out-of-season dress.
And all of this was the work of Lin Cha, the senior book-traveling person. She felt that Fang Yueyao was a promising artist who would become very famous in the future. She stepped on her in advance and made her hate her, so that Fang Yueyao might kill her in the future!
——This senior is really working hard to attract hatred and complete the task!
Lin Cha's eyes sparkled.
It's been ages since anyone has come to drag her down and tear her apart! The system clearly said she would be disliked by everyone, but Lin Cha always felt... something was wrong with the situation.
The appearance of Fang Yueyao was like a shot of adrenaline for her!
There is hope for her to return to the real world!
On this side, Lin Cha was still feeling proud of Fang Yueyao's joining, while on the other side, some people were sitting upright because of Fang Yueyao's joining.
Sun Qianqian pulled Fang Yueyao and the others into the group and sent a message:
[@All members, I'm going abroad for business this week. Please take care of the cast of "Painted Bones" and don't kill them. Also, if you have any gossip, @Lu Yanyan, please share it with me!!!]
Lu Yanyan: [A piece of cake.jpg]
Sun Qianqian: [Just a reminder, this time, besides Lin Cha, there are 5 permanent guests, 3 flying guests, and only 7 friend slots. I won’t tell you who will be kicked out~ Hahahaha]
Chen Xianzhi: [Who is it?]
Lu Yanyan: [The one who can’t even get 1 point of favorability~]
Chen Xianzhi: [How could there be someone who doesn't even have a single point of favorability? Unbelievable!!!]
Intoxicated: [……]
Chen Zui: [Mr. Sun, Mr. Lu, just sign up for my name. I'm 0.1, okay?]
Chen Xianzhi: [!!!]
Chen Xianzhi: [So low!]
Chen Xianzhi: [I've never seen anyone with such a low favorability rating!]
Intoxicated: [……]
Shenzui: [But my favorability has already increased! And Cha Cha and I have been filming for a week now. I believe she must have quietly increased her favorability towards me over the past few days!]
Liu Mingqian: [How much did it increase?]
Intoxicated: [5…]
Liu Mingqian: [Poof…]
Lu Yanyan: [Puff…]
Chen Xianzhi: [Poof…]
Jiang Mingkai: [Teacher Shen, your initial stats aren't as high as mine!]
Intoxicated: [……]
Zhou Zexu: [Friendly reminder, Cha Cha's favorability rating for women has never been lower than 30. She's very hypocritical!]
Liu Mingqian: [@沉醉you're the only one in the group with single-digit responses. Reflect on this!]
Chen Xianzhi: [Reflect on this!]
Lu Yanyan: [Reflect on this!]
Lu Yanche: [Reflect on this!]
He was staring at his phone, looking indignant.
How could he have imagined that even though Lin Cha had clearly forgotten the past, her favorability towards him was still so low?
Indulge in a deep breath.
Chen Zui: [It's not like this thing won't increase in value! I know what Cha Cha likes! Next time we meet, my favorability rating will definitely surpass yours!]
In the blink of an eye, it was time to record the fourth episode of "Leisure Life".
When Fang Yueyao appeared on the show, Lin Cha's eyes lit up instantly, and a line of words floated over his head: [Fang Yueyao's Favorability: 35]
The guests sighed.
Lin Cha is really tolerant towards girls. The favorability rating of all the female guests is no less than 30, even Wei Xinyi’s favorability rating was 30!
Jiang Mingkai couldn't help but wipe away his bitter tears.
Gong Ke next to him was even sadder. After all, he was still Lin Cha's partner. They had been acting together for a week, but Lin Cha's favorability towards him was only 17!
However, thinking about Chenzui's initial 0.1 and the current 5, Gong Ke suddenly felt balanced again.
Lin Cha's favorability towards Mr. Shen is so low, so what if she likes him a little less!
Gong Ke looked around and found that he and Fang Yueyao came together. Chenzui said he had something to do and had not shown up yet. No one knew what he was doing.
There was no time to pay attention to him, the camera had already scanned to Gong Ke and Fang Yueyao, the two of them immediately put on a smile and greeted the netizens in the live broadcast room.
Netizens have a very good impression of the two and are very supportive when they see them appear on the show.
[Ding ding ding ding! Congratulations to our two new melon owners! I wonder what kind of melons they will share with us today?]
[Hahahaha! Upstairs! You've taken all the bamboo shoots from Qingchuan Village!]
[Gong Ke was just falsely accused of rape by Zhai Ziang last week. Don't scare him!]
[But it's been a week since that happened, and I think Gong Ke is in great spirits today! She's a typical optimistic little sun, so I guess she'll be able to let loose on the show, too!]
[Why are you all concerned about Gong Ke? Am I the only one concerned about Fang Yueyao? She's so pretty! Hehehe!]
[The person above isn't concerned about Fang Yueyao, is he? You want to see Fang Yueyao and Lin Cha fight. Isn't that a bitch?]
[See through but don’t say it~]
[A reporter interviewed Fang Yueyao a while ago and asked her which celebrity she hated the most. It seemed like she mentioned Lin Cha?]
[Oh hoo hoo!!! Female celebrities are fighting like crazy! Today's livestream is so interesting! I love watching it!]
Not only netizens love to see Lin Cha being torn apart.
Lin Cha also likes to watch himself being torn apart.
From the beginning of the show until now, she has been looking at Fang Yueyao with anticipation.
Fang Yueyao is not Fang Yueyao, she is her guiding light home!
Director Yu is also very good at stirring up trouble. After knowing that Fang Yueyao and Lin Cha did not get along, he deliberately gave the flying guests a difficult problem, asking them to evaluate the resident guests.
Gong Ke came first. He was well-liked in the industry and had a high emotional intelligence. His comments on the guests were all positive, which made people feel happy. Occasionally, Gong Ke would make jokes. When commenting on Liu Mingqian and Lu Yanyan, he also introduced himself and asked for cooperation.
[This is hilarious! Is Gong Ke treating the guest reviews like a college recruitment fair?]
[But Lu Yanyan and Liu Mingqian are indeed two powerful men with great resources, so there's nothing wrong with recommending themselves!]
It was Fang Yueyao's turn. Her comments were more official than Gong Ke's. She didn't often appear on variety shows, and her sense of variety wasn't as good as Gong Ke's, so she was unusually humble when commenting on the guests.
Finally, it’s time to evaluate Lin Tea.
Everyone held their breath.
The highlight! The highlight is coming!
Director Yu specially prepared this segment, wasn't it just to watch Fang Yueyao and Lin Cha fight?
Tear it up! Tear it up!
The more violent the tearing, the more fun it is!
Fang Yueyao stared at Lin Cha for two seconds with an expressionless face and cold eyes...
Suddenly, she took a step forward!
[Oh my god! Are you going to hit me?]
[This is on a TV show! Is their conflict really that deep?!]
[I quite like Lin Cha. Please don’t let anything happen to Lin Cha!]
Fang Yueyao walked up to Lin Cha, suddenly grinned on her cold face, and then hugged Lin Cha tightly!
"Cha Cha! I finally see you! A living Cha Cha! A moving Cha Cha! Let me hug you quickly and breathe in some good luck!"
"Woohoo! It's still fragrant! Soft! And... it tastes like spicy noodles!"
Guests: ???
Netizens in the live broadcast room: ???
Wait, doesn't Fang Yueyao hate Lin Cha the most? What's going on?
Fang Yueyao hugged Lin Cha and took a deep breath. After getting enough luck, she excitedly pulled Lin Cha to her two suitcases.
I opened a suitcase and saw a wide variety of clothes, bags, and snacks inside.
"Cha Cha! These are all the gifts I brought you! Do you like them? This pleated princess dress suits you perfectly! And this bag! It's a limited edition, so I grabbed two, one for you and one for me! And there are also these snacks, spicy snacks, chocolate, and everything else!"
"Teacher Shen said you like it, so I bought a lot! Do you like it?"
Lin Cha was a little confused.
What's going on?
Didn't Fang Yueyao used to call me tea, say I was pretentious, and call me a vampire?
【How come you suddenly become so gentle! 】
Fang Yueyao put her hands on her hips and said confidently, "Cha Cha, what nonsense are you talking about! How could I not like you? Is there any girl in this world who is cuter, prettier, and more considerate than you? No! Cha Cha, you are the best! No one would dislike you!"
Lin Cha: “Huh?”
Guests: “Huh?”
Live audience: “Huh?”
Lin Cha’s head was full of question marks.
[Wait! Was Fang Yueyao possessed by some demon? How could she become like this?! ! !]
Lin Cha was very confused: [Let me find out what happened! ]
She immediately opened the Chigua system to check, but after searching for a long time, she found nothing. The Chigua system only records objective events, not people's psychological activities.
【Why is that? 】
Lin Cha was even more confused.
The guests were also very curious and didn't know what Fang Yueyao was up to.
Chen Xianzhi and Fang Yueyao were familiar with each other, having appeared on a variety show together before, so he took the initiative to ask her, "Didn't you dislike Lin Cha before? Why are you suddenly like this today?"
Fang Yueyao's face was serious. "I was too young at the time! I didn't understand the benefits of Cha Cha! It was my fault! I won't do that again!"
Chen Xianzhi: ???
Girl, are you really not possessed by someone else?
You are scary now!
Chen Xianzhi: "Speak human language!"
Fang Yueyao curled her lips and whispered, "Oh, wasn't it a while ago that I saw a post on Douban saying that the recent collapse of several melons was related to Lin Cha. I didn't believe it at the time, but when Mr. Sun dragged me into the melon-eating group yesterday, I finally understood!"
This matter is neither long nor simple.
When Fang Yueyao debuted, she offended a big boss and refused to be controlled by him. The big boss did not ban Fang Yueyao openly, but he also made things difficult for her secretly.
The reason why Lin Cha was able to snatch Fang Yueyao's dress so easily and make Fang Yueyao embarrassed on the red carpet was partly due to the handiwork of that big boss.
But who would have thought that this big boss with a lot of capital would have his reputation fall apart some time ago! He even became the target of ridicule in the entertainment industry!
Yes, the big boss who shackled Fang Yueyao back then was Chen Weiye, the one who stuffed a live fish into Fu Xinghan's mouth!
Without Chen Weiye's exploitation, Fang Yueyao's career has been much smoother. In addition, the incident of Wei Xinyi's substitute was exposed some time ago, and Fang Yueyao and Wei Xinyi are female artists of the same style. Wei Xinyi's lost fans were sad and came to Fang Yueyao as a substitute.
In addition to her fans, Fang Yueyao also received a lot of resources that originally belonged to Wei Xinyi, which allowed her career to soar.
Of course, what really made her a top star was Jiang Mengxi's withdrawal from the "Painted Bones" crew, allowing her to successfully take the position as a backup!
"In just one month, I've gone from a marginalized second-tier player to a near-first-tier one! My Weibo followers have increased by over five million!"
Fang Yueyao's eyes sparkled. "Chacha just stole a dress from me. That's no big deal! I was blind to recognize her! Chacha must have just liked that dress! She definitely didn't have any other intentions!"
Guests: “…”
Liu Mingqian reminded him, "She might really have other intentions. She even dragged down my daughter and rode on Mingkai's popularity!"
"No! You are all slandering my Cha Cha!" Fang Yueyao said firmly, "Cha Cha is the most beautiful existence in my heart. She is my lucky star! She is my God of Wealth! No one is allowed to slander her!"
The guests have seen brain-dead fans, but that was only on the Internet. This is the first time they have seen a real-life black fan turn into a brain-dead fan.
I thought I would see Fang Yueyao tearing Lin Cha apart, but now it turns out to be:
Other guests: "Lin Cha, are you eating snacks again?"
Fang Yueyao: "How can Cha Cha eating snacks be considered stealing? She's just hungry! Cha Cha is so skinny! Just give her as much as she wants!"
Other guests: "Lin Cha, did you throw away the hair I collected again?"
Fang Yueyao: "How could Cha Cha lose your hair? It's obvious that your hair grew legs and ran into the trash can by itself! Don't frame us, Cha Cha!"
Other guests: "Lin Cha, I'm hungry. What are you having for lunch?"
Fang Yueyao: "Don't you have arms or legs? Can't you even cook? Why do you bother our Cha Cha? It's hard enough for Cha Cha to just sit there and stare blankly every day. Please don't bother her anymore!"
Ah, this...
Lin Cha scratched his head awkwardly. [It's not that hard to just sit there and stare blankly at the background and occasionally eat melons every day!]
Fang Yueyao: "Even if my Cha Cha has to stand for one more minute, it's hard work! Cha Cha, don't wash the fruit! Let me do it!"
Guests: “…”
He is definitely a brain-dead fan!
But no matter how noisy it is, lunch is still very important.
Lin Cha, having eaten too much salad on set a few days ago, was enthusiastic about every meal in the cabin. When Liu Mingqian said he wanted to have lunch, she obediently went to wash the rice.
But Fang Yueyao still snatched the small pot from Lin Cha's hand and said firmly, "How can I trouble Cha Cha with something like cooking? Let me do it!"
Gong Ke asked in a faint voice, "Can you?"
"Of course!" Fang Yueyao patted her chest proudly. "I went to Yun Province to shoot some gg a few days ago and bought a lot of mushrooms! The locals use them to make fried rice, and I learned how to make them. They must be super delicious!"
Fang Yueyao added, "I know too, Cha Cha's cooking is the best! But Cha Cha has been filming for a week straight. Cha Cha, you take a break. I'll make lunch!"
Lin Cha felt a little greedy after hearing this, and really wanted to be lazy, so he agreed.
Gong Ke and Zhou Zexu, two young men, were dragged by Fang Yueyao to do hard labor. Lin Cha and others were bored, so they went to the director team to chat with Director Yu.
I heard that after the show "Leisure Life" was aired, there were complaints about editing and post-production every day, so Director Yu paid a high price and hired several more post-production staff.
But the amount of Photoshop work they had to do was enormous. The first episode featured Zhao Kuan and the M.D boy band, the second featured Wei Xinyi, and the third was even more terrifying, with Fan Jingyu, Han Ziqi, and Chen Kaiwen taking turns! On the last day, the guest group even stumbled into a fake-out den, leaving them with absolutely no material to play!!!
It’s okay for live broadcasts, but in feature films, there will definitely not be these shots that cannot be shown on TV!
Therefore, the director team had no choice but to work overtime, and every time the main episode of the program was released, everyone would see that the real people in the main episode disappeared, like invisible ghosts...
When the guests arrived at the temporary studio set up by the director's team, Director Yu was directing the post-production process of photoshopping out Chen Kaiwen's head. "Photoshop this part more cleanly! And here, just photoshop the guy out!"
Later: "But after the people were photoshopped out, the plate of tripe was left hanging in the air. Was it poured into the hot pot? Then our show wouldn't be a slow-paced variety show, it would be a horror film..."
Director Yu was silent for two seconds.
Aren’t our variety shows already called slow variety shows? Aren’t they called “Eating Melon Life” on the Internet?
"Forget it! How much material can we use? Isn't it fun to have people hanging in the air?"
At this moment, Director Yu saw the guests approaching and immediately became even more furious. "Look at you guys! I asked you to record more time, but you refused. Now our main film is not long enough!"
Director Yu sighed again, "I've been so worried about you guys! I even stayed up all night last night! Look at my dark circles, they're as big as a panda's! Please cooperate with our director team and stop thinking about slacking off! Also, when Teacher Shen comes back this afternoon, we have to go pick corn! No one can get away with it!"
It has been the fourth period since the first one, and the corn has not been pulled out yet!
The guests stood in a row obediently.
They had also watched the previous episodes and knew that the production team had no other material to show. Perhaps the only material that could be used without Photoshop in the third episode was their Tai Chi practice.
It's quite tragic. Let's observe three seconds of silence.
Only Lin Cha, although standing with the guests, couldn't help but glance at Director Yu's huge dark circles and curled her lips.
[But the guest star scandal wasn't caused by us, so why blame us?]
[Besides, Director Yu got dark circles under his eyes from staying up all night last night. Wasn't it because his wife and kids came home and discovered he hadn't washed his feet in a week, so his wife punished him by making him kneel on a durian in the living room?]
[It’s not because the production crew stayed up all night, why are you blaming us?! ! !]
All guests:!!!
It turns out Director Yu's wife and kids are back! No wonder Director Yu has been so irritable lately! He must have been ordered to wash his feet by his wife!
I didn’t expect there would be a sequel to this melon!
Liu Mingqian whispered to Lu Yanyan beside him, "Director Yu is from Sichuan Province. I heard that people from Sichuan Province are all henpecked and afraid of their wives. It really is true. He must have taught his sister-in-law a lesson last night!"
Lu Yanyan snorted coldly, "You're scolding us after being scolded at home? This henpecked man is not good!"
Director Yu had sharp ears. When he heard Liu Mingqian and Lu Yanyan gossiping, he yelled, "Who's a henpecked man?! Stop talking nonsense! I'm a true male chauvinist. I make all the decisions in our family! I'm not a henpecked man, humph!"
Chen Xianzhi smiled slightly, "Are you the one who makes all the decisions at home? Director Yu, just say this in front of us, but don't let my sister-in-law hear it."
"What if he heard me?" Director Yu straightened his back. "I'm telling the truth! As the head of the family, I have such aura! How can I let a woman control me? Let me tell you, in our family, if I tell that woman to go east, she won't dare to go west! If I ask her to serve me tea or water, she will definitely do it!"
Jiang Mingkai blinked, "What if your sister-in-law appears in front of you at this moment?"
Director Yu: "Then I'll definitely ask her to serve me tea and water right now! Isn't that what a wife should do? She should serve her husband well! This is what she should do... Wife! Why are you here?!"
Director Yu was speaking so excitedly that when he turned around, he saw his beloved wife standing behind him with a thermos in her hand.
Mrs. Yu was in her early thirties, well-supported, and looked to be in her twenties. She smiled and looked at Director Yu with a kind look.
"Let me go east, but I can't go west? Let me serve tea and water, and I must not be vague?"
“Bang—”
Director Yu slipped and fell to the ground. He was sweating profusely and hurriedly got up. He poured a cup of tea and respectfully served it to Mrs. Yu.
"Wife, I was wrong! I was just talking nonsense! In our family, of course you are the boss! You are the head of the family! If you say go east, I will never go west! If you ask me to serve tea or water, I will never dare to disobey!!!"
Mrs. Yu smiled again.
Director Yu was so amused that he felt creepy.
"Wow, wife, I was really wrong!!!"
That day, the weather in Qingchuan Village was sunny and windy.
The sounds of chickens and dogs can be heard in the fields, and the villagers live in harmony with each other.
Only from the director's studio next to the leisure hut could be heard Director Yu's heart-wrenching screams.
"Wife! I really know I was wrong! I really know I was wrong! Ah! Ah——!!!"
