Looking at the messages in the chat box, Xu Zhaozhao suddenly felt like she was a scumbag...
I was quite patient in replying to his messages.
Shh: Work hard, and we can spend the whole day together while filming the kids' variety show!
Shh: [Patting the puppy's head.gif]
They replied to her message very quickly.
Piglet: Can I have a kiss?
Xu Zhaozhao: ...
There's no way we can have a proper conversation today.
Shh: Do you think the other groups of guests will kiss?
Shh: Whatever the other groups of guests can do, we can do too. Don't mess around.
Shh: [Death smile]
After a while, a new message appeared in the chat box again.
Piglet: Okay.
Xu Zhaozhao was relieved to see that Gu Qingyan had agreed.
The other guests are probably not very familiar with each other, so this reason is always a good one.
Without replying to Gu Qingyan, Yan Jie's chat window popped up at the top of the screen as soon as she exited the chat. A small red dot appeared on the screen.
Yan Jie: Zhao Jie, are you awake? [cursing]
Yan Jie: Of the guests who were kept, you're the only one who didn't repost. I'm begging you, sister, please don't trend on these kinds of topics anymore, okay? [crying][crying]
Xu Zhaozhao sighed softly.
I was hoping to take a break, but I didn't expect everyone to be so competitive.
Shh: Turn it, turn it right now! When Sister Yan speaks, I have to stop pooping halfway through to turn it!
Yan Jie: ... We don't need to make things so disgusting between us...
You could tell from just one sentence that Sister Yan had lost the desire to talk to her.
Xu Zhaozhao logged out of WeChat and opened Weibo.
I clicked on the official Weibo post announcing Gu Qingyan's participation in the second season of the children's variety show again, and its popularity has now surged, with all the data showing a significant lead on the official Weibo account.
It's hard to avoid generating buzz when it comes to anything involving Gu Qingyan.
Xu Zhaozhao didn't forward it immediately, but scrolled down to look at the comments.
The two large gold logos were placed at the very front.
Qin Yueling v: I'm really looking forward to working with Teacher Gu again. [Happy][Handshake]
Yu Yao v: Welcome! It's my first time meeting Senior Gu, I'm a little nervous. [Alpaca]
Below are comments from netizens.
[I knew the news was true!! My brother really went to participate in a children's variety show, I'm so happy I could cry. [crying]]
[Handsome guy and adorable baby!! I'll be frank, I want to see Gu Qingyan and Yu Yu as a couple...]
[Gu Qingyan came for our Lingling, right? After all, they worked together on a drama before. I want to ship them!]
[Shipping every pairing will only harm you. Can't going on a children's reality show be about simply learning how to take care of dolls? Why do you have to pair them up? Are you guys crazy?]
Who stayed from last episode? Don't keep me in suspense!! I'm not watching if YuYu isn't here...
...
Many fans of the Gu Qingyan and Qin Yueling pairing appeared in the comments section, undoubtedly influenced by Qin Yueling's ambiguous Weibo post.
Xu Zhaozhao mentally gave Qin Yueling the middle finger.
The so-called "first pure goddess" of the Chinese entertainment industry is just so-so; she's a mistress who knows what she's doing.
Xu Zhaozhao lost interest in reading any further and scrolled up, intending to leave a comment as well.
After refreshing, I found that the official Weibo account had posted a new post.
The official Weibo account of "Flip-Flops" stated: After discussions between the children and the directors, and considering factors such as the availability of the guests, the final decision was made.
We selected @顾清延v, @许昭昭v, @秦月灵v, and @俞遥v as guests for the second episode. (The order is entirely based on my whim and doesn't matter; feel free to use any of these options.)
All the little guests will stay, and two more mystery guests will be joining us on the show. We'll keep you in suspense for now, see you in episode two! [Kissing emojis][Kissing emojis]
[Why, why is my Xia Huai sister gone? Waaaaah! What about my favorite couple?! Production team, you have no heart!]
Xia Huai and Song Jinshi are gone, but the Goddess of the Photinia Flower is still here... This is something I never expected... [smoking]
[It's probably all due to scheduling conflicts. Xiao Shi has a tour planned anyway, otherwise I believe the whole cast would definitely be back!!]
[I don't want the whole cast to come back; seeing mosaics makes me want to vomit. Gu Qingyan is fine.]
[Yay! All three babies are here! I can't wait! Episode 2 is sure to be even more exciting and a huge hit!! [wink][wink]]
...
Xu Zhaozhao immediately retweeted this Weibo post.
Xu Zhaozhao v: Come see my son in two days! [Sunglasses] @Official Weibo of "Flip-Flops" [Retweeted]
If you can't get a front-row comment, surely you'll be the first to retweet the latest Weibo post?
Shortly after it was shared, a lot of comments appeared.
Come on over! Sister Zhao speaks, and I'll be there on time! I'm Yu Yu's Flash Delivery rider! [wink]
[Sister Zhao, fly bravely, take responsibility if something goes wrong!!]
[Sister Zhao, step up your game! Snatch Gu Qingyan away and make him Yu Yu's dad! Don't let that damn goddess get away with it! [fighting]]
[Is Gu Qingyan going on a children's variety show just to generate buzz for "Crossing the River Moon"? [Starry eyes] Then there's a high chance Gu Qingyan will be paired with Sister Zhao.]
It's all just hype, basic practice in the entertainment industry. It's all because she's a powerful figure. I don't know why you're all taking it so seriously...
...
Xu Zhaozhao glanced at it twice, then took a screenshot of the Weibo post and went to Sister Yan to boast about it.
Shh: How was it? Was I fast enough?
Shh: In the world of martial arts, speed is the only thing that can't be broken. [Sunglasses]
Sister Yan: I'm giving you a compliment. [Thumbs up]
Two minutes later, Xu Zhaozhao received another message from Sister Yan.
Yan Jie: Although... I feel like you're about to trend on social media again.
? ? ?
A series of question marks flashed through Xu Zhaozhao's mind.
Are controversial female celebrities really that popular? They can trend on Weibo just by reposting an official post from a recorded program?
Having switched from WeChat to Weibo once again, Xu Zhaozhao can only say that she was still too naive.
In her comment section, a dazzling gold badge was also pushed to the top of the comment section.
Gu Qingyan v: Okay, I'll go see it live.
I finally understand what Sister Yan meant; she is indeed preparing to trend on social media again.
Brother, you don't really need to reply to me so diligently.
[Wow, I can feel your smugness even through the screen. Now that you're going to see it in person, you'd better step aside. [Waves]]
So, my brother will be paired with Sister Zhao, right?! Production team, I'll allow you to pull some strings behind the scenes, don't be ungrateful! [Looking forward to it]
[I've changed my address, sisters! What are you still calling me, Sister Zhao? Hello, sister-in-law! (360-degree spiral bow)]
[Hello, sister-in-law! Hello, sister-in-law! Hello, sister-in-law! ... (omitting ten thousand times) What you keep in mind will surely come to pass. As long as I keep calling her that, my sister-in-law will always be Sister Zhao! [Striving]]
[This story just goes to show us that when the celebrity goes on abstaining from sex for too long, a lot of the fans go crazy [laughing emoji]]
...
Xu Zhaozhao v replied to Gu Qingyan v: You little rascal, you're lucky to have such a good look.
Xu Zhaozhao immediately logged out of Weibo after replying.
It's obvious to anyone with a brain that Weibo is about to unleash a bloodbath.
Since we're already on the verge of trending, let the storm rage on!
"Madam, your package is here."
I had just turned on the TV to find a cartoon to watch when the butler came in with a package.
Xu Zhaozhao frowned.
I didn't buy anything, so why would I receive a package?
"The deliveryman said he would personally deliver it to you."
The housekeeper dared not neglect his duties.
"Let me see."
Xu Zhaozhao stood up and took the package from the housekeeper.
It's quite heavy in your hand, and it's square-shaped. The label says: Paper product.
It was sent in the company's name. Xu Zhaozhao felt that the company's name looked familiar, but she couldn't remember where she had seen it before.
The package was violently opened; it was torn in the middle, ripping the fragile packaging and revealing the white paper inside.
Xu Zhaozhao took it out and her heart skipped a beat.
The complete script of "Crossing the River Moon".
These words, printed prominently on the cover, left Xu Zhaozhao feeling uneasy.
Luckily, I held back a bit, otherwise I would have had to send her a replacement copy as soon as the script reached her hands...
How absurd.
This is the first time I've ever seen a film crew send a script to my home.
Sister Yan: The production team for "Crossing the River Moon" just messaged me saying you've received the script? They're telling you to study it carefully, and filming won't be long.
Sister Yan: Did you secretly work hard behind my back? Your audition performance really amazed me.
If you want to know just how terrible Xu Zhaozhao's acting is, Sister Yan is the most qualified to speak on that.
Although I wasn't allowed to interfere with her accepting gigs, I still accompanied her to film sets and filmed several terrible movies.
To put it simply: even a dog would shake its head in disbelief.
Xu Zhaozhao took a few photos of the script and sent them to Sister Yan.
Shh: I received it, and I almost tore it to shreds.
Shh: I've achieved enlightenment and ascended to immortality. I'm determined to win the Best Actress award! [Grinning face]
Yan Jie: Look good, just don't turn into a shit queen. [Sweat]
Shh: Sister Yan, you've changed. [Surprised]
Yan Jie ignored her and Xu Zhaozhao returned to her room with the script, taking out a pen.
Although she appeared calm, her hand holding the pen trembled slightly, revealing her inner excitement.
In the original world, let alone such a thick script, even a page or two is rare.
Sometimes, the minor roles I play don't even require a script.
When she first touched such a thick script, with at least two-thirds of it being her scenes, she didn't know where to start highlighting the key points.
Time flies when you're focused, and when she looked up again, it was already dark.
But she only saw the fourth page.
Blinking her slightly irritated eyes, Xu Zhaozhao picked up her phone and glanced at it.
Show Lo: I'm filming a night scene on set, so I can't go home again tonight.
Piglet: [Withered][Withered][Withered]
The three withered roses were particularly comical; she could almost see Gu Qingyan's aggrieved little face.
Shh: [Rose]
Xuxu: It's standing up.
Xu Zhaozhao was stunned for a moment after sending the message.
What kind of childish nonsense is this?!
He must have been so engrossed in reading the script that his mind went blank.
Before they could retreat, another message came from the other side.
Piglet: Only one flower has sprouted, there are still two more.
Piglet: What should we do?
Xu Zhaozhao's eyes widened slightly, and her fingers, which were about to retract the message, paused.
Perhaps the focus of an award-winning actor is different from that of ordinary people.
After a moment of silence, I chose to continue typing in the input box.
Shh: [roses][roses]
Shh: Look, the remaining two flowers have also perked up.
After waiting a while without receiving a reply, they must have gone to film a movie.
Xu Zhaozhao also put down her phone and went to wash up.
I haven't used my brain in a long time. After reading only four pages of the script, I felt dizzy and lightheaded after taking a shower, and my eyes immediately wanted to close.
Once the production team has finalized the casting, filming for "Crossing the River Moon" will begin soon.
Xu Zhaozhao's personal professional habit is to go over all her scenes before filming begins.
This mission was extremely demanding. From the moment I opened my eyes, aside from three meals a day, I spent all my time in my room reading scripts.
Ding ding ding...
The ringing cell phone on the table pulled Xu Zhaozhao out of the world of the script.
The words "Sister Yan" were flashing on the phone screen, and Xu Zhaozhao raised her hand to answer.
"Sister Yan, what's wrong?"
"Sister, I'm really worried because you're not replying to my messages." Sister Yan's voice was filled with unconcealed exhaustion.
Xu Zhaozhao looked up out the window. Night had quietly fallen, and the stars were twinkling.
Sister Yan must have just finished a busy day at get off work, since she now manages more than just one artist.
"I'm looking at the script."
"Sister Zhao is much less troublesome than the new kid I'm taking care of."
Li Yan sighed softly and immediately changed the subject, "It's nothing much, just reminding Sister Zhao to remember to record the second episode of 'Flip-Flops' tomorrow."
Xu Zhaozhao is good at everything, except she's a bit lazy; she might skip work if you're not careful.
"You should get some rest. You don't need to pick me up tomorrow."
Fearing that Sister Yan might be worried, Xu Zhaozhao added, "With Gu Qingyan here, you don't need to worry about me."
"Too."
Sister Yan chuckled softly, "Then thank you for the holiday, boss."
Li Yan is ruthless to herself, but even more ruthless to herself.
Despite having monthly days off, he never asked her for leave and was always available whenever she called.
After hanging up the phone, Xu Zhaozhao, who had been interrupted, couldn't get back into the flow, so she started looking at messages.
The message Yan Jie sent was the same as what was said on the phone, so Xu Zhaozhao didn't reply to it so as not to disturb her rest.
She discovered that Xia Huai had also sent her a message.
Xia Huai: BB, I'm here to apologize. I really can't get away from a bidding meeting tomorrow. It wasn't my intention not to accompany BB. [Pity][Pity]
Xia Huai: But with that guy surnamed Gu around, I don't have much room to maneuver. I've authorized him with a Knight Card for the first term.
Xia Huai: Watch out for Qin Taotao. She probably already knows we're going to get her. She hasn't been meeting with her old lover lately, tsk [disdainful].
These messages were sent half an hour ago, and Xu Zhaozhao has not replied yet.
Then another round of bombardment with messages ensued.
Xia Huai: Zhao Zhao, please pay attention to me! Please, I promise I won't act first and ask for permission later next time. [Pleading]
Xia Huai: I'll sleep with Qin Taotao right now to apologize to BB, okay? Don't ignore me!
Xia Huai: BB, I'll do anything you want!! Talk to me!
Posted three minutes ago.
Xu Zhaozhao felt ashamed.
The original owner hurt someone deeply; she didn't participate in a single variety show recording, which made Xia Huai so anxious that she almost went out of character.
He opened his camera, took a picture of the script, and sent it to Xia Huai.
Before I could even type "I'm reading the script," a message came from the other end.
Xia Huai: Imperial Uncle?
...
What the hell is this Imperial Uncle?!
