Tao Rui went to audition for a costume drama, and coincidentally, one of his competitors was his former teammate Cheng Xu.
Tao Rui smiled when he saw him, "Cheng Xu, you're here for the audition too? How are your preparations going?"
Cheng Xu couldn't understand how he could act so naturally after betraying his teammates, as if they were very familiar with each other. Cheng Xu said coldly, "It's okay."
Tao Rui sat down next to him. "I loved the role of the Young Alliance Leader the moment I read the script, and I've been preparing for it for a long time. I actually think you're more suitable for the Young Alliance Leader's good brother. You have a cool demeanor and seem particularly righteous. Your character is also good. Every time the Young Alliance Leader comes up with a shady idea to stir up trouble in the martial arts world, his good brothers will stop him. If they can't stop him, they'll just follow him and help him clean up the mess. It's a very cute contrast."
Cheng Xu's agent, Sister Xia, glanced at Lao Qi with dismay, "Lao Qi, what do you mean by this? Our Cheng Xu is also here to audition for the male lead."
Lao Qi awkwardly pulled Tao Rui aside, who smiled and said, "I don't mean anything special, just a sincere suggestion. Cheng Xu, please think about it. You guys take your time chatting, I'm going to the bathroom."
Tao Rui got up and went to the bathroom, and Lao Qi immediately followed. When they were alone, he said speechlessly, "Why did you say that to people? Isn't that provocative?"
Tao Rui put his hands in his pockets and shrugged. "I'm going to give him the lead role. I really have some good advice. This kind of cynical role isn't suitable for him anyway. If he's willing to play the second male lead, maybe he can win fans."
"Come on, how could he possibly be willing to play a supporting role for you? And for a web drama? Behave yourself and do your audition well."
Tao Rui nodded nonchalantly. After returning, he didn't go back to Cheng Xu's place, instead finding a random seat. When the audition call came, Tao Rui was the last one in. The two people who came out before him lingered, seemingly waiting for the results. Tao Rui's other competitor even showed a hint of joy; perhaps the director was quite pleased with him.
After Tao Rui entered, the director gave him a clip, "Try this scene where the young leader misunderstands his brothers and breaks up with his best friend of many years. Is there anything wrong with it?"
Tao Rui took a look and realized it was the story's climax, a test of his acting skills. He said, "No problem, but can I ask Cheng Xu to help me with the acting? He'll play my good brother."
The director and others looked at each other, had no objection, and asked someone to ask Cheng Xu if he was willing.
Cheng Xu didn't know why Tao Rui's words of advice kept popping up in his mind. He had read the script himself and didn't think he could play the role of the young leader well, but if he played the second male lead, it seemed that the difficulty would be much lower for him.
During the audition just now, he clearly felt that the director was not satisfied, and this audition was probably a failure. However, Sister Xia wanted to wait for the result, so he stayed and waited.
When he heard that Tao Rui wanted him to play a supporting role, and to play the second male lead, he agreed for some unknown reason. Despite Sister Xia's objection, he went in and acted with Tao Rui.
Tao Rui whispered to him what kind of reaction he needed to give. This part mainly focused on the young leader's role, so the second male lead was just forbearing, not used to explaining, and angry, and he only had two lines.
After Tao Rui finished speaking, Cheng Xu said he understood.
After he memorized the lines, Tao Rui instantly entered the stage, his back straight, his face furious, as if he was about to sever ties with the other party, yet his entire body emanated a deep sorrow. "It's you, isn't it? It was you who—leaked Su Su's whereabouts."
Cheng Xu looked at him indifferently, "Do you think it's me?"
"Who else could it be besides you? You've always said that Susu was a demonic witch and forbade me to have anything to do with her. Now that she's injured, the righteous are searching everywhere for her. How could you have hidden her whereabouts if you knew her? What's more..." Tao Rui gritted his teeth and took a deep breath, "What's more, I heard them say that the information was given by a young man in white wearing a koi jade pendant."
Cheng Xu lowered his head slightly, taking in his white clothes and the koi jade pendant hanging from his waist. He pondered, this obvious reference to him—could this be a deliberate trap set up by an enemy? Perhaps there were further traps set for him, and he should remain constant in the face of change.
Tao Rui was waiting for him to explain, but all he got was silence. The anger in his eyes gradually turned into disappointment, and he looked away, as if that was the only way he could say the next words.
"Since you have nothing to say, then our brotherhood is as strong as this tree!" Tao Rui said, drawing his sword and slashing forward, then turning and walking away. All his anger and sorrow faded, his cold profile revealing an inner resolve, as if he had suddenly become more stable after losing his brother. Because from now on, no one would try to dissuade him, nor would anyone accompany him in his journeys.
After he left, Cheng Xu murmured, "That's fine."
Why was it good? Because someone might be deliberately trying to harm him, which would make him dangerous. Tao Rui would be safer if he stayed away from him temporarily. As for the misunderstanding, they had grown up together, so there would always be a chance to explain it later.
This scene is short, but the emotions expressed are complex, and Tao Rui and Cheng Xu's performance is extremely tense, drawing everyone into the play. It was not until Tao Rui walked to the wall and quickly came back that they left the scene.
The screenwriter was amazed and pulled the director aside and whispered, "This is the young leader in my mind!"
The director nodded, very surprised. He said to Tao Rui, "Are you familiar with the script? I think you have grasped the psychology of the young leader very well."
Tao Rui said modestly, "Because I really like this script, I read it several times and practiced it many times in front of the mirror at home. The early bird catches the worm."
The director was even more satisfied. When they handed over the script before, he heard that Tao Rui refused it, and he was a little unhappy. But today he saw that Tao Rui's attitude was very good. The most important thing was that Tao Rui's acting skills were enough to cover everything!
Without a word of nonsense, he directly decided to let Tao Rui play the role of the young leader.
Cheng Xu, watching from the side, also felt that Tao Rui really liked the script, otherwise he wouldn't have acted so well. He had never seen Tao Rui so proactive in anything before. As for Tao Rui's recommendation for him to play the second male lead, he had actually just played the role himself and thought it was pretty good.
He stepped forward and asked politely, "Excuse me, can I audition for the second male lead?"
The director was stunned, thinking back to his previous performance. In fact, he and Tao Rui were very compatible. At this time, a staff member whispered to the director, telling him that the two were teammates in the same boy band and had known each other for three years. Regardless of whether they had tacit understanding, their filming together would definitely be a hot topic.
Their web drama is a bit of a risky work. The director himself certainly likes it very much, but there is no guarantee that the market will like it, so they set their sights on popular idols. If it is two idols who are former teammates and have a lot of topics, it would be a good idea.
But the director was still very responsible for the work. After letting Tao Rui leave, he kept Cheng Xu to try out a segment for the second male lead.
In the evening, Tao Rui received a thank-you call from Cheng Xu, "Thank you so much for your advice today. I got the role of the second male lead."
Tao Rui smiled and said, "Just don't think I'm meddling. We're going to be filming together soon. It's a pleasure working together."
“…It’s a pleasure to work with you.”
Perhaps Cheng Xu thought of the past when he was cheated, so he said one sentence and hung up the phone without any intention of chatting further.
The original owner had actually been a bit harsh on Cheng Xu, because that's just how idols are: if you miss the right opportunity, it's hard to become famous. Cheng Xu was willing to play a supporting role for him today, not only because the role was really good, but also because Cheng Xu wasn't as famous as him, so it wasn't an insult. Otherwise, even if Cheng Xu was willing, his agent, Sister Xia, wouldn't agree. An idol shouldn't do something that devalues them.
So, in fact, the original owner had set the tone, causing many people to have the impression that Cheng Xu was nervous on stage, had a bad voice, and sang off-key. After that, Cheng Xu's career didn't go up much. If you delayed someone's career, of course you have to find a way to make it up to them.
Tao Rui was surprised to see Cheng Xu at the audition, but he immediately thought of this plan. With him guiding Cheng Xu into the role, this drama would definitely help Cheng Xu gain fans. Moreover, they were former teammates, so being together would naturally be a hot topic. It wasn't that he was narcissistic; he felt that as his popularity grew, Cheng Xu, who was filming with him, would naturally benefit from it. Now that they had successfully landed the role, this compensation was halfway completed.
Tao Rui started a live broadcast in the evening. He hasn't had any works recently, so he had to meet his fans in this way.
Fans asked him how his day was.
Tao Rui thought for a moment and then smiled and said, "I'm very happy today. I passed the audition and met an old friend. We will work together in the future, so it should be a pleasant time."
[Wow, congratulations, Rui Ge, on your successful audition! What drama is it? Can you tell us first?]
"I can't say, I'll wait for the official announcement. Anyway, I like it very much."
Who is Rui Ge's old friend? Is he a man or a woman? Is he an actor? I can't guess.
Tao Rui smiled again, expressing his happiness at the thought of this friend. He said, "You'll know once the official announcement is made. Why would it be mysterious now? Anyway, just look forward to it. I think there will definitely be sparks between us working together, as we're friends both on and off screen. Don't speculate. If you guess wrong, it'll only cause trouble for others."
[Okay, I'm looking forward to your new drama. But can you appear on more variety shows? Variety show filming cycles are short.]
After filming, the TV series still needs post-production and scheduling. It will take a long time for it to be released. What should we watch during this time?
Tao Rui thought seriously for a while, "Watch my live broadcast? I think I have the talent to be an internet celebrity. Oh, by the way, how about I live broadcast cooking for you? What dish do you want to see?"
[Ah? Brother Rui, you can also cook? ]
[Brother Rui, I love watching everything you livestream. What's in your fridge? I want to see your signature dishes.]
Seeing that they were talking about everything, Tao Rui decided to make his own decision. He walked to the kitchen with his livestreaming phone and opened the refrigerator. There were no vegetables in it, just eggs and a few simple ingredients.
The fans were laughing like crazy.
[Hahaha, Rui Ge, didn't you ask me to order? What do you want me to order?]
[Eggs fried in the air, hahaha, don't cry, Rui Ge, you can make scrambled eggs, boiled eggs, poached eggs, egg custard, there are so many hahaha]
Tao Rui smiled and said, "I can also make fried rice. Let me show you what delicious fried rice looks like."
Tao Rui poured two bowls of rice into the rice cooker from an angle they couldn't see, then opened the rice cooker during the live broadcast to treat it as leftovers from lunch. He began beating eggs for fried rice, and his skill in beating the eggs and chopping the onions and garlic amazed his fans.
If I hadn't been watching the live broadcast, I would never have believed that this was Brother Rui's hand.
[Brother Rui can actually cook? A bit of weird trivia has been added.]
[Looking at this...it should be edible, right?]
[Out of curiosity, does Brother Rui usually cook for himself? You're so homely, Brother Rui, how about wearing an apron?]
【Apron+10086】
Tao Rui glanced at the comments and smiled as he took the apron next to him and tied it on. "What's the big deal about wearing an apron? It's not like I'm wearing a skirt. If I play a cross-dressing role one day, maybe I'll even wear a skirt. I'm going to transform into an actor, and I'm not afraid of these messy things anymore."
[Ahhh, he really wore it. So handsome! Rui-ge is always handsome! What on earth did you grow up eating?]
[Brother Rui, are you transitioning into acting? Are you still going on stage? You promised to show us your stage often!]
[Ahh, I want to see Brother Rui wearing a skirt, I want to see Brother Rui play a woman in a cross-dressing role. Oh my god, she must be a peerless beauty! ]
If Rui Ge plays a man dressed as a woman and turns out to be better looking than the heroine, how would the heroine survive?
Tao Rui scrambled eggs while saying, "This shouldn't be called a transformation, because even as an actor I still have to perform well on stage. Haven't I been telling you all before that I'm working hard? I see you all keep saying Ruirui is super hardworking." He chuckled, "You're all bragging. If I can't do it, wouldn't it be embarrassing for you?"
[Hahaha, we blew it out of proportion...]
[There's nothing wrong with this. I suddenly figured out how to boss Brother Rui around. As long as we dare to brag, Brother Rui will do it. Sisters, go for it!]
[Let me brag first: our Brother Rui is an all-around ACE, a grand slam winner of awards, a hit drama, and a guaranteed hit song!]
[I'm coming too! Brother Rui is the variety show king, he's on TV all year round. Hahahaha, I'm not greedy, I want to see Brother Rui all year round.]
I can do it! Brother Rui is having a concert for 100,000 people, and he's touring the country with twelve shows. Hahaha, one show a month. I'm definitely going to every one of them. It's so cool!
Tao Rui stirred the fried rice and said with a smile, "I see you guys are the fastest at daydreaming. Don't brag about it in the future, or I'll be laughed at for not being able to do it. Don't I have any dignity?"
【Hahahahahahaha】
"Oh, I can brag to others about how many fans I have. If you can't do that, you'll be the ones being laughed at, and then you'll all lose face."
[Brother Rui, why hurt each other~]
[Hahaha, okay everyone, please don't bully Brother Rui, we won't brag! ]
[It seems we have to draft our bragging in the future, Brother Rui has to save face, haha]
Amidst everyone's laughter and cheers, Tao Rui finished making the fried rice, put it on a plate, and held it up close to the camera to show them, "See? This is called wok aroma! Only a master chef can create wok aroma."
[Pfft~ Sorry, I didn't mean to make fun of you, but isn't that just heat? ]
What the hell is Wok Qi? Chef Rui is you. Chef, do you eat? How about a food show? 】
[Huh? I've actually heard of wok aroma. It's something only a master chef can create. It tastes completely different. It's, how should I put it, incredibly fragrant!]
Yes, just like when you eat barbecue, the lamb skewers grilled over charcoal and the meat slices grilled in an electric rice cooker have a completely different taste! Food with a wok aroma is truly delicious. It's not the visible heat, but the quick, dry, and fragrant aroma. Ahhhhhhhhhh.
[It looks delicious, why can't I even cook as well as my idol? ]
Tao Rui placed the fried rice on the table and said with a smile, "If you can't cook as well as me, then order takeout. I can't let you practice cooking, right? But you have to be better than me in one area, right? I can't be exhausted like a dead dog learning this and that every day while you guys are idle. Okay, go do what you need to do. I'm going to eat. I'm turning off the show."
Fans were yelling at him to keep eating, but Tao Rui mercilessly turned it off. An eating show? Making a bunch of people watch him eat alone? Forget it, he wouldn't let them watch.
This live broadcast was quite long, and since he had some free time, he decided to spend more time with his fans. He also needed the opportunity to convey some of his ideas to his fans. The effect might not be obvious once or twice, but over time, his fans would gradually understand what kind of person he is and what kind of things he likes. By then, his fan base would have undergone a qualitative transformation.
At least this time there is a joke between him and his fans: don’t brag to each other, otherwise everyone will hurt each other!
Tao Rui believes that to be the shining star in fans' hearts, one must, of course, fulfill their dreams and do what they say they will do. However, he finds this isn't always easy. After all, when excited or in an argument, fans often let their mouths flow, making their idols seem like gods who can do anything.
He thinks fans should be more restrained and stop bragging, then he can still consider meeting their expectations.
Fans were so focused on Tao Rui's cooking and the advice not to brag that they forgot about the old friend mentioned earlier until the official announcement from the crew.
The ancient idol drama is called "Young Alliance Leader". The official announcement is that Tao Rui will play the male lead, the Young Alliance Leader, and the rising star Cao Qianqian will play the female lead, a demon cult witch. There is nothing wrong with this, but why is the second male lead Cheng Xu???
Tao Rui and Cheng Xu's fans were stunned for a moment, then went into a state of intense preparation. They still had a deep impression of their fight back then, so how did these two end up together? The key point is that Cheng Xu even played a supporting role for Tao Rui. How could his fans be so capable of this?
Tao Rui's fans suddenly remembered that he'd said he was happy auditioning and meeting an old friend. Ah, so... was he really happy to see Cheng Xu? Their emotions were mixed, as they didn't know how to react. Thinking about Tao Rui's recent embarrassing, face-saving remarks, they decided to hold off. After all, they wouldn't lose out if Tao Rui played the male lead.
Cheng Xu's fans were furious. Why was Cheng Xu supposed to play supporting role to Tao Rui? Back in the group, Cheng Xu was the lead singer and captain, while Tao Rui was incompetent and the biggest drag. Back then, Tao Rui openly said he got nervous on stage, and marketing accounts immediately linked it to Cheng Xu. Even though Tao Rui later apologized to Cheng Xu, it didn't make up for it. They hated Tao Rui so much. Now he's playing supporting role to Tao Rui?
Without waiting for fans to react, Tao Rui retweeted the official Weibo post announcing the Young Alliance Leader and @ed Cheng Xu, saying, "Brother, we can live and eat together again. I miss the lead singer's great voice. You must teach me how to sing when you join the group! [Playful]"
Cheng Xu called directly, "Tao Rui, what are you doing again?"
Tao Rui said apologetically, "I was careless and said the wrong thing. I'm sorry. You are the lead singer. I hope I can have the opportunity to clear your name."
"It's meaningless for you to post something like that on Weibo."
"Just treat it as a small talk. I really want to ask you for advice on singing. I've been working on my professional skills lately."
Cheng Xu didn't believe a word of it, but there was no point in saying more. He hung up the phone and immediately retweeted Tao Rui's Weibo: [Happy cooperation! [Naughty]]
The interaction between Tao Rui and Cheng Xu sent a friendly signal, and there was no controversy among fans. Cheng Xu's fans did have some complaints, saying that Cheng Xu shouldn't have taken the role, but Cheng Xu expressed her love for the role, and of course, the matter was eventually dropped.
Tao Rui flew abroad again, shot a magazine cover, and attended a fashion show, wearing, of course, the same off-brand, high-end suit he'd picked out from his profile. Then he quickly joined the filming crew.
"Young Leader" was not well received by many people, so the investment it received was relatively small, but the crew spent most of the money on costumes and props, striving to make the pictures look good, and it looked like a carefully produced film.
Tao Rui considered the returns on his film investments, but finding them too slow, he decided to invest all his money in the stock market. The original script for this life didn't involve the stock market, so the background was similar to what he knew in other worlds. The rise and fall of stocks was very familiar to him. In particular, many company news stories were both true and false, and he could accurately distinguish the truth from the false. This guaranteed him steady profits in the stock market, making it a very fast way to accumulate capital.
Filming is Tao Rui's specialty. He instantly gets into the groove as soon as he joins the crew. He even deliberately suppresses some of his energy, pretending to be striving for improvement, rather than exerting his full potential. This, however, makes the director very satisfied, especially since Tao Rui always manages to bring the leading actress and the second male lead into the film, ensuring that important scenes are filmed smoothly. This makes Tao Rui a lucky charm for the director, who treats him very well.
Cheng Xu was puzzled by this state of affairs, but then he realized he hadn't interacted with Tao Rui for two years. It wasn't surprising to hear Tao Rui grow up, mature, and change. He just hadn't expected Tao Rui to improve so much; it was a bit surprising. When Tao Rui asked him about singing techniques, he couldn't help but ask about filming techniques as well. From then on, they became mutual support partners, one learning singing, the other filming, and their relationship gradually became natural.
During this time, aside from the occasional livestream and Sunday selfies, we haven't seen much of Tao Rui's work. However, a commercial he shot went online, and two magazine shoots also went on sale, and the company released behind-the-scenes footage.
Fans were surprised to discover how happy Tao Rui was during the filming. You could clearly see him laughing and joking with everyone, which made those who watched the behind-the-scenes videos smile unconsciously. As a result, fans have a good impression of the partners who worked on these shoots and are grateful for giving Tao Rui these wonderful memories.
Several partners also interacted with fans with some jokes, so from beginning to end, it was indeed a very pleasant collaboration, and there may be a next time.
Then, the episode of "Mountain Family" with Tao Rui aired. Fans hadn't seen Tao Rui on the show for a long time, and they waited early, turning on their TVs, tablets, and phones to increase the ratings. But the show just started with Tao Rui arriving at a farmhouse and announcing he wasn't feeling well. He looked unwell.
Fans immediately felt bad, with others commenting, "Isn't this too weak? Why is she still recording a show when she's in this state? Isn't this just causing trouble for others?"
Fans immediately jumped in and said that since they signed the contract for this episode, they had to shoot for this episode. Recording while sick was obviously a sign of professionalism, so why would it cause trouble?
Afterwards, Tao Rui bravely helped everyone with the work, but unfortunately, he didn't do a very good job. It's understandable; how could he work when he was sick? Fans were even more distressed when they remembered that Tao Rui had posted photos after the show, saying he had a lot of fun. How did he manage to record that? It must have been very hard.
When it was time for lunch, Tao Rui ate a few vegetable leaves like a kitten, rinsing them in water. Then he went to sleep. While everyone else got up to work, he slept until everyone else finished.
This time the comments were not so friendly, with people criticizing him for being a drama queen, hypocritical, lazy, and having no emotional intelligence. In short, they just couldn't stand him no matter how they looked at him.
Fans were furious and started arguing with them on the screen. The screen was completely covered with comments. But from this point on, it was like a turning point. Tao Rui's illness was cured!
He had previously said he had heatstroke, so it was normal for him to get some sleep and rest. As soon as he woke up, he rushed out, apologized immediately, and poured water for everyone to massage. He was so polite no matter how you looked at him. And while some people didn't like his sickly look before, his youthful and lively look is much more pleasing to the eye now.
By the time Tao Rui was so hungry that he ate a cucumber, the comments were all laughing like crazy.
[I told him to lose weight, but he woke up hungry, didn't he? Hahaha]
[Haha, he was saying things like this and that at noon, and he's already regretting it after only three hours. Does he still remember what he said at noon? Doesn't it smell good?]
[He's so hungry he can eat a cucumber first. Okay, I'll see how he eats tonight.]
Tao Ruifei's fans all shut down their microphones because this was a bit embarrassing. Just now, they were arguing with others, saying that Tao Rui's company required him to eat less to lose weight, but who knew they would be immediately refuted? But after being slapped in the face by their idol, they just let it go. As long as they shut down their microphones and don't show up, others won't be able to laugh at them! After all, it's better to let Tao Rui eat a full meal than to have a stomachache from hunger.
After seeing Tao Rui say that he had a sudden enlightenment and was ready to eat well and drink healthily to lose weight, fans felt relieved. Tao Rui has been trying to lose weight for a while and always had a bad diet. It’s great that he has figured it out now. Is this the biggest gain from recording this program?
Tao Rui then made a potato and egg pudding, and his knife skills were so skillful that the audience was amazed. However, Tao Rui's fans popped up again, proudly saying, "Brother Rui is a first-rate cook, and his food is super delicious."
[Brother Rui's knife skills are superb, and the food is delicious and fragrant. This pudding is definitely delicious.]
Suddenly, a fan said, "Hey guys, take it easy. We never brag."
A word of advice awakened everyone, and everyone calmed down. They really couldn't brag about this; after all, they hadn't tasted it, had they? What if they were too excited to brag about it now, and then everyone on the show said it wasn't tasty? You can't just brag casually; don't you have any respect for yourself?
The fan's style suddenly changed and he became humble.
[Actually, Rui Ge only has a basic understanding. With so much work to do every day, how can he have the time to delve into cooking?]
[It's enough if you can just do it. Nowadays, many people your age can't cook. ]
[Brother Rui made the pudding out of his heart. Regardless of whether it tastes good or not, I hope Xiao Qin and the others like it.]
The other audience members were a little confused when they saw this, but compared with Tao Rui's first-class cooking skills, this was much more pleasing to the eye.
During the editing process, the program team included a close-up of Tao Rui's creations. The chewy, pale yellow pudding and the steaming, milky corn juice suddenly transformed the scene into a food show. Then, Lin Ya's surprised expression and Teacher Fang's satisfied nod were edited in, reassuring the audience that Tao Rui's creations were indeed delicious, not fake!
Especially since Teacher Fang also asked Tao Rui to teach him how to do it, this is definitely not a fraud.
Someone immediately exclaimed, "I didn't expect Tao Rui's cooking to be so delicious. He looks quite young, is he already 20?"
The fan immediately responded: [Twenty-two years old, she is still very young.]
Some people say: "Kids these days are amazing. They can become celebrities and cook so well. It's not easy to master one skill."
Fans cautiously yet proudly said: "Brother Rui is pretty good at singing and dancing, and he's also improved his acting skills recently. He's always improving."
When Tao Rui and Teacher Fang were discussing their cooking experiences, someone left a comment saying that they found it very useful and had already written it down and was ready to put it into practice.
No matter who you are, as long as you excel in one aspect, you will always be appreciated.
Seeing so many comments praising Tao Rui in the comments section, fans felt incredibly proud, suddenly realizing how good this felt. It wasn't that they were standing up for their idol, but rather that their idol made them proud, making them feel comfortable enough to admit they were fans of such a person, no matter where they were. At least, they could now say Tao Rui was a fantastic cook and had made significant progress in his singing and dancing.
The fans were drooling over the four dishes made by Tao Rui when they saw Tao Rui finish his meal and start to sing with Xiao Qin.
Wow! Those three guys were singing, dancing, and shaking their heads like crazy. I almost thought they were at a disco!
[I'm blind!!! Is this my brother Rui?]
[Ahhh, give me back my beautiful stage, Rui Ge, wake up, what are you doing! ]
[Hahaha, this is hilarious! Don't you think Rui Ge is super cute? This is the first time I've seen Rui Ge let loose, so happy!]
[Wow, I bet Rui Gechao really likes this place, otherwise he wouldn't be having such a crazy time.]
[I just said that Rui Ge is good at singing and dancing. Well, go search his performances a while ago. They were really amazing. They are not in this style. Crying]
However, the audience did not complain about his bad singing and dancing. They were all laughing and thought the three boys were having a great time. They were even throwing leaves at the girls. Even the 5-cent special effects were not so bad. It was so hilarious.
Fans simply gave up and joined the army of hahaha, admiring their idol as he went further and further on the road to freedom.
When playing games in the evening, everyone saw another side of Tao Rui. He was smart and quick-witted. He could always guess the questions asked by others, and he could always think of funny questions to stump others. Everyone on and off the TV was amused by him. They never expected that this episode of the slow variety show would be of this style.
The discussion ended only after everyone had washed up and gone to bed. But then, it was the next morning again. This time, Tao Rui was the first one up to make breakfast for everyone. The previous complaints about him being a nuisance to others vanished, replaced by a sense of thoughtfulness. Perhaps he had been feeling unwell before, and he'd felt embarrassed to be so diligent and busy.
This is a young and energetic young man. All the unpleasantness at the beginning has been wiped out, and the audience's impression of Tao Rui has reversed. It is precisely because of this reversal that the impression is very deep, making Tao Rui the person they remember most in this episode.
The program is divided into two episodes. The first half is about to end here. The last scene is Tao Rui and Lin Ya sitting on a bench in the corridor, reading a book together. Tao Rui said he would teach Lin Ya English.
The scene ended here, and fans were shocked. No, why did they make the final scene so beautiful? A man and a woman sitting together reading a book or something, the production team is messing with this!
Other fans took the opportunity to laugh, "Tao Rui speaking English to Lin Ya? Hahaha, does Tao Rui understand English? That's not how you put shots together."
Is Tao Rui trying to hype up a CP relationship? Lin Ya is only seventeen, Tao Rui should behave himself!
Fans commented: "The episode hasn't aired yet, what's the deal with the couple? Are you seeing things from behind?"
[Be responsible for what you say. It's easy to spread rumors, but it takes a lot of effort to refute them!]
Rui's English is okay. He just said he'd read it to Lin Ya and if she didn't like it, forget it. He's kind, right? I'm impressed that you could interpret it like that.
[You also know that Lin Ya is seventeen years old. This is the help a brother can give to his sister.]
Anyway, no matter what, let's just protect our brother Rui first. Everyone also thought about it and thought that the production team must have done it on purpose, breaking the episode there to increase the topic. This is what the production team often does. Some trailers often show a few people fighting, but after the main episode is broadcast, it is discovered that the shots are separated and no one is unhappy at all.
So everyone please be patient and wait for the next episode to be aired.
For a whole week, fans were eager to see what would happen in the next episode. Other viewers, drawn to the beautiful ending of the previous episode, watched the next episode on time.
As a result, at the beginning of the next episode, Tao Rui spoke fluent English with a pure accent and a nice voice!
Tao Rui's lines were interrupted a bit to avoid revealing them, but when he gave examples and spoke to Lin Ya, he read out long passages of English, which was truly a pleasure to listen to. This time, it wasn't just the fans exaggerating; anyone with ears could tell!
Afterwards, Teacher Li came out, and Tao Rui laughed and said that Lin Ya looked especially like his own sister, which made people want to help involuntarily.
Fans belatedly reacted: [Where's that person who said Rui Ge didn't know how to spell shots in English? Hello?]
[Who said Brother Rui was hyping up a couple? Have you ever seen someone destroy a couple so decisively? It's impossible to be with his own sister, it's crystal clear.]
As a fan of Rui Ge, I'm suddenly anxious. I'm an English major, but my English isn't as good as his, and my cooking isn't as good as his. What should I do?
[Me too... I'm still studying abroad, and my accent isn't as pure as Rui Ge's. How come Rui Ge knows so much? I never realized it before.]
[Suddenly a treasure was hidden. What a surprise! I wonder what treasures I can dig up in the future! ]
[Sisters, keep a low profile. Our brother Rui is… just okay in every way. No exaggeration, hahahaha.]
With Tao Rui's various cool moves, following this variety show turned into a happy time in the end. When Tao Rui left, the audience was actually a little reluctant to let him go. This is probably Tao Rui's own charm.
Even though fans have been watching variety shows countless times, it's hard to believe there's no new work. So every time Tao Rui posts a selfie or a livestream, fans are always asking, "When will you be on the show again?" After all, livestreaming is a completely different experience from watching variety shows. Some people even recommended Tao Rui several livestream variety shows, saying they can be filmed and broadcast anytime, without waiting.
Tao Rui checked the shooting progress and after getting the director's consent, he really asked Lao Qi to look for a live variety show.
Lao Qi was a little unsure. "Live streaming? Will it work? It's not like a recorded broadcast where you can edit it later. If something goes wrong during a live broadcast, it will become a memory on the internet."
"Don't worry, no one cares about my career more than me, and I have the talent to attract fans." Tao Rui can easily attract fans wherever he is in the entertainment industry. After all, his unique time-travel experience brings him unique appeal, which cannot be concealed.
When Lao Qi thought about how he could attract fans by doing that, he silently agreed with what he said and found him a live variety show.
