When Shi Tian and Shi Qian arrived at the cabin where they were filming, a group of guests had already arrived.
Shi Tian immediately recognized the person standing in the courtyard as the movie star Guan Ying.
Guan Ying debuted in film in her teens and won the Best Newcomer Award for her first movie. Before she was 30, she had already won all the highest awards in film categories, making her a true born actress.
Unfortunately, Guan Ying suddenly announced her retirement from acting when she was 40 years old, and stopped taking on roles. It is said that something happened in her family, which dealt her a heavy blow and made her feel bad.
This variety show also marks Guan Ying's return to the public eye after twenty years. Guan Ying has long since moved abroad, and it is said that her return to China to film this variety show is to repay a favor.
This was the first time Shi Tian had seen his idol up close. He rubbed his hands together and shyly went up to greet him.
"Hello, Actor Guan!"
Guan Ying arrived last night. After unpacking, she was bored and went for a stroll in the yard. She saw two young people walking towards her from afar.
His gaze was immediately drawn to one of them, this child…
This child looks far too much like Guan Yao.
Guan Ying was still in a daze when the two of them walked up to him. He was brought back to his senses by Shi Tian's greeting. He was probably not used to being back in China and was thinking about his younger sister who had died young.
When Guan Yao passed away unexpectedly, Guan Ying was filming in Beijing. Upon learning the news, she immediately took leave and returned to Yancheng, only managing to see her sister one last time.
Even her newborn nephew died young. Guan Ying loved her younger sister the most and couldn't accept that her sister had died so young.
After handling her sister's funeral, she returned to Beijing to finish filming the movie she was working on, and then announced her retirement from acting. When her son and nephew were older, she left Beijing.
After that, he returned to the capital very few times.
There are too many memories of Guan Yao in the capital. He still remembers telling Guan Yao that after filming this movie, he would give her a new zither. Guan Ying found an old craftsman to specially customize one for Guan Yao, using the best materials.
Unfortunately, Guan Yao left before the instrument could be given away, and it is still in his study in the Federation.
Shi Qian also greeted Shi Tian, and Guan Ying nodded to both of them.
"Stop calling me 'Actor,' that was so many years ago. Just call me Uncle Guan."
"I've seen your acting, it's not bad."
When Shi Tian heard Guan Ying say that she had seen his performance, he was flattered and quickly said a few words of modesty.
Shi Qian didn't know Guan Ying. He didn't watch TV dramas or movies. He wasn't even born when Guan Ying was at the height of her fame, so she was a complete stranger to him.
After greeting everyone, he began to look around the place where they would be staying for the next seven days. It was a small wooden cabin, not dilapidated, just a bit old.
Guan Ying's gaze never left Shi Qian. Upon closer inspection, she noticed that Shi Qian and Guan Yao looked even more alike, and his eyebrows and eyes even resembled that damned Lu Jingyan.
Guan Ying asked casually, "And who is this?"
Shi Tian noticed that Guan Ying was staring at Shi Qian, and realized that he had been so excited to see his idol that he had forgotten to introduce Shi Qian.
"This is my younger brother, Shi Qian."
"My younger brother?"
"Um."
Guan Ying didn't ask any more questions, but was amazed that there were people in the world who looked so alike. If Guan Yao's child, who died young, were still alive, he would probably be about the same age and look just like her.
After exchanging a few pleasantries with Guan Ying, Shi Tian and Shi Qian went inside to choose rooms. The cabin had five rooms in total, just enough for the five groups of guests.
The rooms were all about the same size and were furnished similarly. Shi Tian let Shi Qian choose, and Shi Qian chose one that was on the side.
The two packed their luggage and came downstairs, and the others arrived one after another.
The cameras were already in operation, and everyone packed their bags and sat down in the restaurant.
When Song Qi saw Shi Qian, he nodded to him. Shi Qian also recognized Song Qi; he was the only one he knew among them.
The group introduced themselves to each other, which served as a way of breaking the ice.
Guan Ying is a film emperor, so there's no need for much introduction. Basically, everyone in the industry knows him. Guan Ying brought his friend's son, Tang Xi, who is a freshman at the Beijing Film Academy.
Thinking that it's also to pave the way for their children's future, most of the ordinary people who come to participate in the program want to develop in the entertainment industry.
An Ruoxiao is a TV drama queen who has won many TV drama awards. She is a powerful actress who is nearly 40 years old and maintains her appearance very well. Accompanying her is her niece, An Youyou, a third-year student at Beijing Art University.
During the introduction, An Ruoxiao emphasized that her niece was an intermediate member of the Beijing Music Association, which impressed everyone, who praised her for being so young to be an intermediate member.
He Qingli is a rising idol drama actress who has become incredibly popular in the last two years. At only 23 years old, she has already become a sensation online, with popularity comparable to Yan Ge.
The ordinary person he brought was his cousin, Li Chengxin, a freshman at Beijing Agricultural University. He was a top student and had the highest score in his major.
Shi Tian is also a rising actor. He brought a different level of talent to a supporting role in a web series. A few scenes directly captured the hearts of the audience, and he single-handedly made the entire series popular.
When Shi Tian introduced Shi Qian, he only said that this was his younger brother named Shi Qian, who was studying at a university in Beijing, and that was all.
This was Shi Qian's own request; she didn't want to reveal too much personal information and thought that once the recording was finished, that would be it.
The last guest was Song Yike, a somewhat famous singer with a decent number of fans. He brought his younger brother, Song Qi.
Song Yike knew he was not as good as the other guests, and he squeezed out another up-and-coming actor to come to this show.
To elevate his own status, Song Yike said that he and Yan Ge came from the same group and were good friends. When introducing Song Qi, he specifically mentioned that Song Qi was a student at Peking University.
The way everyone looked at Song Yike instantly changed, and they showed him more respect.
After the group introduced themselves, the production crew told them that they would have to take care of their own dinner that night. There were still ingredients in the house that they could cook with, but starting tomorrow they would have to go to the fields to pick their own food.
Among them, only Shi Tian can cook. Guan Ying said she could cook too, but Shi Tian wouldn't let the movie star go into the kitchen on the first night. He simply said that the younger generation could help out.
Shi Tian has lived alone for so many years. In order to save money, he used to cook for himself a lot and developed excellent cooking skills. Although Shi Qian can't cook, she still consciously goes over to help Shi Tian.
Song Yike certainly wouldn't miss this opportunity to show off. Not only could she get closer to Shi Tian, but she could also establish a diligent persona for herself, so she immediately went over to him.
When Shi Tian saw Song Yike pressing herself against him, he felt the distance was too close. They were still filming, and he didn't want to go too far, so he thought about moving to the side.
Shi Qian thought Song Yike was trying to trip up Shi Tianshi, so he quickly grabbed a bag of potatoes and pretended to casually push the two apart, saying, "Brother, what should we do with these potatoes?"
