Chapter 3: Everyone remained silent.
"Together Towards Happiness" is a live-streamed variety show that has garnered significant attention due to its novel format.
After all, there are rumors that variety shows are scripted, and that celebrities in the entertainment industry only get along well on the surface but secretly fight each other. Netizens also want to observe clues through live broadcasts.
The reason this variety show has garnered so much attention, besides its unconventional format, is mainly due to the participation of "national husband" Chi Yanzhou and "sweet princess" Xia Zhiqing.
The two are currently the most popular national idols.
Although young, Chi Yanzhou is a talented actor who won the Best Actor award at a young age. With his outstanding acting skills and good looks, he has a large fan base.
Xia Zhiqing gained popularity for her sweet looks and starred in several hit dramas, thus becoming a rising star.
Before the official broadcast, there was a pre-recorded preview where the production team made a surprise visit to the homes of several guests to conduct interviews.
Chi Yanzhou lives in the most luxurious area of Beijing, owning a large single-level apartment decorated in a simple yet luxurious style.
Director: "Why did you want to come to 'Together Towards Happiness'?"
Chi Yanzhou: "Didn't you guys hand this variety show to me?"
director:".........."
Director: "So, what are your expectations for this variety show?"
Chi Yanzhou: "I'm not tired, I'll lie down and finish this quickly."
director:".........."
Undeterred, the director continued to ask the man playing games on the sofa, "Mr. Chi, would you like to recommend our variety show to everyone?"
Chi Yanzhou: "No."
The director was moved to tears. As expected of the aloof and powerful actor, he truly lived up to his reputation, being as sparing with words as possible.
When interviewing Xia Zhiqing, the production team went directly to Xia's home.
The production team was stunned by the enormous and luxurious estate, and viewers who later watched the preview were also shocked.
The hashtag #XiaZhiqingWealthyFamily# even trended on social media.
Netizens commented that it turns out that not working hard and then going back to inherit the family fortune is not a joke.
Xia Zhiqing maintained her polite and sweet image as always, winning praise from a large number of fans.
Other guests include Cheng Yi, a member of a popular boy band, Bai Yining, a newly popular actress, and Xu Xiyao, an artist who debuted as an internet celebrity.
Their interviews were quite standard, but when it was Song Shiwei's turn, the camera went into a company dormitory.
Compared to the residences of the previous individuals, Song Shiwei's staff dormitory appeared considerably inferior.
The environment was cramped, and she wasn't even staying in the artist's dormitory; she was sharing a room with Tao Xiaotian, her assistant.
A group of kind-hearted netizens are wondering which celebrity this is and why they are being treated so poorly.
When Song Shiwei appeared in front of the camera, many netizens were shocked. Why should such a beautiful artist be treated like this?
With looks this good, it would be an injustice if he didn't become famous!
Song Shiwei, dressed in comfortable loungewear, sat on a beanbag chair she bought for fifty yuan on Pinduoduo, giving a meaningless interview.
Director: "Why did you want to participate in 'Together Towards Happiness'?"
Song Shiwei: "Didn't you guys hand this variety show to me?"
director:".........."
[Hahaha, this answer sounds so familiar, even the director must be confused.]
[Director: Am I stuck in a loop?]
[The mantle of Best Actor Chi has been passed on, hahaha]
Director: "So what are your expectations for this variety show?"
Song Shiwei: "I don't have any expectations. Please give me more money, I'm a bit short on cash."
director:".........."
Director: "Please recommend our variety show in one sentence."
Song Shiwei: "Just watch this variety show, and everyone stays completely silent!"
Director: Where did you find all these cattle and horses?!
Hahaha, she's actually a funny girl!
[Beautiful lady, you'd better not say anything, hahaha]
A few days later, the filming of "Together Towards Happiness" began in a picturesque little village.
As soon as the program started, countless netizens flooded into the live broadcast room, and the number of viewers instantly exceeded one million.
Six guests arrived one after another, each giving a brief self-introduction to the camera.
While others follow the rules, some people always have a unique and unconventional style.
Chi Yanzhou: "Do I need an introduction? Then have I been wasting the last few years of my life?"
Song Shiwei: "Hello everyone, I am Song Shiwei, a well-known double standard in China, a national first-class argumentative athlete, and a big flop in the entertainment industry."
At first glance, it looks impressive, but that's only true at first glance.
Okay, I know how to introduce myself next time.
[Both a funny woman and an eye-catching bag]
Chi Yanzhou secretly watched Song Shiwei, a cryptic smile playing on his lips.
Life was boring, he was childish, and he needed to find something interesting to do.
The production team prepared a three-story villa as a resting place for the guests during filming. The six people sat on a bench under the grape trellis in the courtyard, waiting for the director's instructions.
Director: "Welcome everyone to our show 'Together Towards Happiness.' We will now embark on a two-month journey of happiness together."
During this period, you will have to work hard to earn all your living expenses.
First, we need to select your rooms. You will have priority in deciding based on the games you play.
Hidden in the room behind you are dolls from the book "Together Towards Happiness." The more dolls you find, the more priority you'll have in choosing your room.
At the start of the game, the four people rushed into the room and began searching around.
The camera focuses on two people sitting leisurely on a bench.
The summer breeze ruffled Song Shiwei's curly hair, and she stretched out her arms, her upper body resembling a bow.
But he never left the chair, trying to reach the plump and tempting grapes on the shelf, while his legs were crossed in a nonchalant manner.
Chi Yanzhou, meanwhile, crossed his arms and admired the "wild man picking grapes" picture to the side.
What are these two doing? Didn't they hear the director's instructions?
[Our Brother Zhou avoids moving if he can, he's too lazy to make games, hahaha]
Finally, the director couldn't stand it anymore and asked, "Teachers, why don't you play some games?"
Song Shiwei: "It's okay, let them take it. I've looked at all six rooms, and any of them is better than my dorm. I won't lose out no matter which one I stay in."
Chi Yanzhou: "Too stupid."
In fact, to prevent this from happening, Chi Yen-chou had already sponsored the production team with various furniture and appliances, especially high-quality mattresses, before the show started filming.
Therefore, if the infrastructure is adequate, he doesn't need to play those stupid games and fight for a meaningless room.
Hahaha, these two are so laid-back!
[As expected of our Brother Zhou, taking his laid-back attitude to the extreme.]
[If you don't like making games, what variety shows would you participate in?]
[Mind your own business! Our Brother Zhou doesn't even have to do anything, just stand there and the ratings skyrocket!]
When the time came, four people appeared carrying a pile of dolls. Xia Zhiqing looked at the two people who hadn't moved in the courtyard and was slightly surprised.
"Brother Yanzhou, didn't you go look for the doll?"
Upon hearing this address, Song Shiwei rolled her eyes inwardly. How could she utter such a disgusting term?
However, in the original novel, the Chi Yanzhou and Xia Zhiqing families were old friends, and after growing up, according to the screenwriter's nonsensical logic, they ended up together in a muddled way.
This nickname indeed caused a huge stir, with netizens going wild.
What's going on? I smell gossip!
[Brother Yanzhou, oh my god, so sweet!]
Handsome men and beautiful women together are a feast for the eyes!
Please, don't just anyone try to attach themselves to our brother.
【Our Qingbao is just very polite!】
Chi Yanzhou didn't react much, only responding with a low "hmm". Xia Zhiqing pursed her lips and handed over half of the doll in her hand.
"Then I'll share half with you."
The most prominent person here is Chi Yanzhou. Seeing this, the others also distributed their dolls, and in an instant, Chi Yanzhou was surrounded by a circle of dolls.
Song Shiwei smacked her lips, thinking that she couldn't be an outsider, and offered her a hand as well.
Chi Yanzhou looked at the empty hand that had suddenly appeared in front of him, raised his eyebrows, and looked at the owner of the hand.
"Is this the emperor's doll?"
“No.” Song Shiwei shook her head. “Give me two.”
