Chapter 94
In order to launch her original reality show, Zhilei invited popular celebrities who can attract traffic as guests.
The two permanent guests in the first season were Liu Qing and Wen Xisheng.
Liu Qing has thrived in recent years, gradually shedding the stereotype of the heroine in idol dramas. Earlier this year, her portrayal of a policewoman in a crime drama garnered widespread acclaim, solidifying her acting reputation. Recently, she's been diligently pursuing opportunities for big screen roles.
Wen Xisheng is the oldest of the guests and a popular variety show star. He has appeared in numerous variety shows and is multi-talented. His style is serious yet humorous, and he has a very stable fan base. Zhilei also carefully selected this guest based on the theme of this reality show, inviting him to stabilize the situation because of his personality.
The other two guest stars were a singing duo, Yu Nan and Jing Qiong of "Nan Qiong." They debuted three years ago and are now incredibly popular on the pop music scene, with many of their songs being widely sung.
The gathering place was the lobby of the old dormitory building that the program team had booked. When He Tong and Ye Yuze walked in, everyone else had already arrived, and the program director was chatting with the guests.
He Tong strode in and apologized with a smile, "Sorry, sorry, there was a traffic jam on the road. I kept everyone waiting for a long time."
Ye Yuze, who was following behind him, glanced coldly at the director.
The director was shocked and quickly stood up to answer, "No, no, no, blame me! It's all because of our production team's inconsiderateness. We scheduled the live broadcast for the two teachers a little late, which is why they were late."
The others also stood up and said it was nothing. Liu Qing and Wen Xisheng also followed the topic and complained about the traffic in Yancheng.
Yu Nan and Jing Qiong are young and have only been in the industry for a short time, so they are still a little confused. Liu Qing and Wen Xisheng did not miss the quarrel between Ye Yuze and the director.
In fact, ever since Qin Zhi publicly stated that one of Ye and He was her nephew, there have been many speculations in the entertainment industry about their backgrounds.
Although Ye Yuze's mother, Fang Jinglei, passed away many years ago, she was a powerful actress in her time, and many in the industry remember her. She and Qiming Chairman Fang Jingmin are siblings, and her husband is Ye Chengzhi, founder of Zhilei Network. These facts are no secret within the industry; anyone with a keen eye can find out.
Therefore, some people privately speculated that the truth was that Ye Yuze was Fang Jingmin's nephew, and Qin Zhi was deliberately vague by using her and Fang Jingmin's husband and wife relationship. In this way, it is logical to deduce that Ye Yuze is actually Zhilei's boss.
Liu Qing and Wen Xisheng had reached their current top positions and had a good reputation for external management. They were naturally meticulous people, and now seeing this scene, they understood what was going on. As for Yu Nan and Jing Qiong, although they didn't see any twists and turns, they always remembered that they were the most junior people here, so of course they didn't say much.
Therefore, the lobby was filled with harmony for a while.
After the greetings, the director briefly explained the program schedule and then stood up and said, "Well, it's almost time now. Shall we start tonight's live broadcast?"
Since everyone had no objection, the director left the lobby and returned to the director's car.
Three cameras in the lobby were turned on at the same time, and an MC held up a sign indicating that the live broadcast had begun.
As an old variety show host and a senior, Wen Xisheng took on the task of temporary hosting. He greeted everyone and the audience and introduced the current situation - this is an old student dormitory building and everyone had just met at the location.
Then, he pretended to look around and pointed to the reception desk in the back and said, "Based on my experience, the production team will leave clues there for us. Let's go check it out first."
His fans immediately started making comments in the comments section, laughing at how fake his acting was.
Wen Xisheng, who couldn't see the barrage of comments, picked up a piece of paper and three keys at the reception desk in a serious manner.
"The production team said they only rented three rooms for us to stay in, and asked us to allocate them ourselves. And... we have to take care of dinner ourselves?"
"What?" Liu Qing exclaimed, "You don't even provide food? Can we order takeout here?"
Yu Nan walked over to Wen Xisheng and looked at the paper. He read, "Every day, staff will replenish the indoor refrigerator with food. Guests, please make your own dinner."
Jing Qiong immediately frowned and looked at Liu Qing pitifully: "Sister Qing, can you cook?"
Liu Qing and she looked at each other in bewilderment: "I only know how to use a rice cooker..."
Wen Xisheng looked up at He Tong and said, "I heard that Xiao He is very good at cooking..."
He Tong smiled and said, "I can share the recipe with you. Home-cooked dishes are not difficult."
Wen Xisheng sighed and held up three keys: "Let's divide the rooms first."
Liu Qing casually pulled one out and said, "It's just me and Xiao Qiong, so of course we're in the same room."
Wen Xisheng looked at Yu Nan standing beside him, then at He Tong and Ye Yuze who had always stood side by side, and spread his hands: "It seems that there is nothing to divide. If I separate Xiao He and Xiao Ye, I'm afraid your fans will tear me apart."
He Tong also smiled and took a key: "Brother Sheng, you are a senior, so please take care of Xiaonan."
All three rooms were on the second floor. The group went upstairs and entered their respective rooms. Three cameramen followed them in separately, splitting the live feed into three parts.
The rooms were small studios with kitchens and bathrooms, about ten square meters by eye. There was a window on the wall facing the door, two single beds against either wall, and a large table in the middle with two stools tucked away underneath.
He Tong took a look at the environment when he entered the room. He found that it was quite clean, so he pulled out a stool for Ye Yuze to sit down first.
There was a piece of paper on the table. He Tong picked it up and read: "Tonight is the first night. Please each room bring two dishes. Let's dine together in the lobby..."
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a knock on the door and other people came in holding papers.
He Tong looked up at the four people who were looking expectant, and shrugged: "Okay, then let's take a look at what's in the refrigerator and I'll make some arrangements."
Finally, under He Tong's guidance, after a round of hard work, each room successfully put together a table of dishes - four plates were steamed dishes, and He Tong alone fried two stir-fries and cooked an extra large bowl of soup.
In the live broadcast room, other fans were happily watching their idols busying around while posting "Thanks He Tong for the fan". Tongze fans were so proud that they posted a row of "Head held high and chest puffed out.jpg".
After dinner, the three cameramen followed the three groups into the room again.
The guests in the other two rooms only began to open their suitcases and put their things out, while everything in He Tong and Ye Yuze's rooms was already in order.
Toiletries were laid out in the bathroom, spare clothes were stored in the closet, small items were neatly arranged in boxes of various sizes on the table, and two suitcases were shoved under the bed. The kettle was plugged into the socket under the window, the cold water bottle was half full, and two thermoses were placed next to it.
Rows of question marks flashed across the barrage.
[What fairy cast a spell? How come everything is ready after dinner?] [Wait, it seems the camera just now was focused on Tongtong cooking...] [So, Master Ze made all this?!]
[For the first time, I felt Zezai's down-to-earth side.]
Master Ze must be an expert at organizing things. If it were me, I'd definitely throw all those things on my desk when I go to sleep, and throw them all on the bed when I get up. [Hahaha, you upstairs, just read out my Jing Qiong's ID number!] After He Tong and the others finished filming, they started to chase everyone away.
"Can we wrap this up now? We're going to start formal training tomorrow, so we need to rest early and get enough rest. Okay, see you all tomorrow, good night."
The director in his group did not dare to disobey the boss, so he had to end the live broadcast first with grievance.
He Tong chased the people away and closed the door, then looked around warily: "Is there a camera hidden somewhere?"
Ye Yuze smiled and said, "Don't worry, they don't dare."
He Tong walked over, hugged the person and gave him a kiss with a smile: "You have to be on your own reality show. The production crews out there are all inhumane."
Then he looked at the two beds and sighed heavily: "This bed is too small."
Ye Yuze rubbed his head and said, "Be good and sleep in separate beds."
The next morning, the production crew knocked on the door with breakfast. Unfortunately, the experienced guests were all up early and were not stopped in bed by the production crew who wanted to stir up trouble.
After breakfast, everyone set off for Yancheng Changfeng Peking Opera Troupe.
While in the car, Wen Xisheng took the initiative to act as a temporary host and talked about Peking Opera with everyone.
Jing Qiong was a little nervous: "I've never sung an opera before, and I don't know if I can learn it in a week."
The guests only knew the theme of this episode two days in advance, so they couldn't do their homework secretly.
Liu Qing comforted her: "It's okay. Peking Opera is not easy to learn. The audience will understand if you don't sing well."
Wen Xisheng also said, "Don't be afraid, Xiao Qiong. You and Xiao Nan are professional singers after all. You're definitely better than us amateurs. Oh, and Xiao Ye should be included. Xiao Ye has also released a single."
Yu Nan followed up, "I really like Brother Ye's song 'The End of the Sky'. Brother Ye, will you release an album in the future?"
Ye Yuze shook his head: "No plans at the moment."
Everyone sighed with regret.
Liu Qing turned her gaze to He Tong and said to him, "Come to think of it, I haven't heard Xiao He sing yet."
"Um?"
He Tong, who was a little sleepy, raised his head and found that everyone except Ye Yuze was looking at him curiously. He grinned and said generously: "My singing is like a devilish sound that pierces your ears. You don't want to hear it."
Liu Qing was a little dumbfounded and didn't know how to respond for a moment.
Although the live broadcast had not started yet, the camera was still on and recording footage.
Wen Xisheng was the quickest to react and said, "No way? I don't quite believe it. So what are you going to do about this semester's study?"
He Tong leaned over and lazily leaned on Ye Yuze's shoulder: "Singing, reciting, acting, and fighting, apart from this one, there are still three things you can learn."
The director, who was watching from behind in the car, immediately fell from his face. He hadn't expected this gentleman to have such a plan. If something went wrong during the live broadcast, would he have to pack up and go home?!
