Chapter 51: Ready to Begin
Chapter 51: Ready to Begin
night.
Room 403.
Yoko reports on the program to Huang Shengyi.
"The first episode of this season was a hit, with TV ratings exceeding 4 and online views exceeding 5000 million. It is currently the most popular variety show in terms of buzz and popularity."
Li Shen is currently the male guest with the highest topicality and popularity, and also the male guest with the highest potential for breaking out of his niche. Wow.
Yoko smacked her lips enviously and said, "Several of his songs have become incredibly popular, especially 'Slowly,' which has been consistently in the top three on Douyin's hot song chart in just a few days!"
Rumor has it that a music variety show is in talks with him.
Did you notice this morning that the production team spoke to Li Shen privately, and Li Shen even received a phone call?
"I keep an eye on other people's boyfriends all the time, okay?"
"hey-hey."
"I noticed." Huang Shengyi turned off the table lamp.
"..."
"Honey, do you know who the most talked-about female guest is? Here's a hint: she's known as the 'Nation's Wife'!"
"Tian Xiwei." Huang Shengyi felt uncomfortable, but she had to admit that the new generation was replacing the old, and she was no longer one of the four most popular actresses in the Chinese entertainment industry.
"Wrong! It's Merlin! Haha! You two actresses plus one female singer couldn't beat a housewife, I despise you, hahaha!"
Huang Shengyi was too lazy to answer, but thought to herself:
Before you came to the show, didn't you say you were going to single-handedly make it a trending topic? Now that the show is popular, what does that have to do with you?
Yoko: "Tomorrow, the [Partner Role Switching] segment is crucial for us, and we must win!"
If we gain control of the final travel destination, then the biggest exposure will focus on the two of us.
So, you must act well, Shengyi! Huang Shengyi, one of the four little actresses, the time has come to test your acting skills!
……
Another room.
The rapper couple is absolutely certain about switching partner roles!
For them, who are the least well-known, getting another chance to be a tour guide, especially at the very end of the series, is incredibly important.
Give me five!
"come on!"
clap clap clap!
……
Another bedroom.
Merlin fell fast asleep.
Li Hangliang rested his head on his hands, gazing at the ceiling.
Teacher Le Jia's words kept swirling in his mind.
Le Jia scolded him for being out of his mind, letting a housewife who was out of touch with society manage all the family's assets...
……
next morning.
Yoko walked into the courtyard, pacing back and forth with his hands behind his back. He carefully considered the details of Huang Shengyi's behavior, preparing to get into character at any moment.
Good morning, Yang Ge.
Good morning, Liangzi.
As usual, Liang Song went to the staff to ask to use his personal cell phone so he could make a video call to his child at home.
As parents, when we're away from home, our children are our only concern.
Yoko didn't quite understand; he was only responsible for giving birth, not for raising the child. He left all the childcare to Huang Shengyi.
The two sat on a bench, smoking one cigarette after another.
"Liangzi, you two have been married for two years and have three children?"
"Um."
"You must be under a lot of economic pressure."
"Hey!" Liang Song exhaled a smoke ring, his desire to win the [Partner Identity Swap] segment growing even stronger.
Liang Song asked, "How old is Yang Ge's child?"
Yoko paused for a moment: "My youngest son is quite grown up now, and my eldest son isn't young either."
Liang Song: "..."
Yoko began her lesson: "Liangzi, it's great that you two like children, but let's solidify our financial foundation first before considering having more. A solid financial foundation is the pillar of a family..."
The word "money" was a sore spot for Liang Song. He said, his face crestfallen:
"Yang Ge has a good financial foundation, he crashes into trees every day, and he's in great health, but I still don't recommend that you have any more children."
Why?
"I'm worried that the more children you have, the fewer you'll have! Every time I come home, they call you 'uncle' instead of 'Dad.' So, even if you're in good health, Yang-ge, I don't recommend trying to have a child later in life."
"Haha, don't try to imitate Fukako's persona. You can't pull off Fukako's sassiness! Oh, Fukako's here?"
Li Shen walked over slowly, hands behind his back, with measured steps: "Are the two kids arguing about the 'sun'?"
"Hahaha, cough cough." The smoke Liang Song inhaled rolled back in his lungs, choking him.
Yoko looked at Liang Song, who was coughing, and laughed, "What did I tell you?!"
Li Shen sat on the swing, swinging leisurely, and closed his eyes to rest.
Yoko asked, "Shinko, you don't seem very energetic. You're so young, yet you're already so easily worn out?"
Li Shen sighed.
That night, he was woken up three times by Tian Xiwei's laughter.
Every time I'm sound asleep, I suddenly hear a silvery laugh in my ear.
It was completely inexplicable.
8 a.m.
The guests, pulling their suitcases, came to the courtyard one after another.
Love Angel Zhang Ruonan, carrying a Red Bull, walked into the courtyard and announced:
"【Partner Role Swap】Live Stream Now! In this segment, viewers will vote throughout, and the couple with the highest support will have the opportunity to be the tour guide for the final episode."
The live stream for "Goodbye Lover" is now open.
The top right corner of the live stream page displays the real-time support rates for the eight guests:
Zhang Ruonan: "I would like to remind everyone that this is a segment that requires you to be able to take it. Imitate your respective partners, don't have any psychological burden, let loose and be authentic."
The more realistic the exchange, the more successful it will be!
I hope everyone can enjoy themselves today, and that no one will lose face, quit, or get angry.
If you get angry at your partner, it actually means that you hate yourself, but you just don't know how much you hate yourself! And your partner is telling you this by imitating you!
And that's precisely the purpose behind this "partner role-swapping" game!
Yoko clapped her hands: "That makes sense, but the person who should have reminded us isn't here! Did Merlin oversleep again?"
Huang Shengyi patted Yangzi: "Step back, that's not something you should be saying!"
"it is good."
Huang Shengyi frowned, put her hands on her hips, and looked up, saying, "The person you should have reminded most isn't here! Did Mai Lin oversleep again? Oversleep and still have time to put on makeup? She's just a housewife, participating in a variety show, and she really thinks she's a star?"
Liang Song clapped his hands with a laugh: "Just like Yang Ge's style, haha."
Huang Shengyi looked at Zhang Ruonan: "Wasn't that a bit offensive?"
Zhang Ruonan: "Today, you're Yang Ge! The more authentic you are, the more you respect the rules of the game!"
Huang Shengyi, hands on her hips, continued: "She acts like a star just because she's on a variety show. She spends 10 hours sleeping, 3 hours showing off her food, 2 hours doing her makeup, and the rest of the time acting crazy. She only spends those two hours doing her makeup, acting like a celebrity!"
[Victory is truly awe-inspiring!]
[Haha, look how happy Sheng Yi is!]
[Support Sheng Yi!]
[Just like Yoko's behind-the-scenes吐槽 (tu cao, meaning to criticize or ridicule) of Merlin!]
[Yang Ge's crickets are fierce behind him, but all he can do is chatter behind his back; in that respect, he's not as good as our Dog Brother!]
……
On the live stream page, it reads: [Huang Shengyi's approval rating: 53%!]
Yoko raised an eyebrow at Huang Shengyi, clearly very satisfied.
As long as Huang Shengyi puts in the effort and brings out the acting skills she once had as one of the Four Little Actresses, they're guaranteed to win this round!
