CH 15

Lu Xun, currently the youngest and most talented actor in the entertainment circle. He was also good at singing and dancing, the perfect king of entertainment.

Although this new variety show was quite good, it was impossible for Lu Xun to participate in it. What made everyone even more confused was that this guy had never participated in a variety show before, how could he suddenly join this variety show?

Wei Yao and Lu Xun had made a movie together before, so they were quite familiar with each other. He looked at Lu Xun in disbelief and said with a smile, “I really didn’t expect the mystery guest invited by the production team to be Mentor Lu.

Others agreed as well, this was a big surprise for everyone.

Not only did Lu Xun rely on his acting skills to become famous, but he was also a superstar among superstars. With his participation, the ratings would definitely not be bad.

Lu Xun walked over and smiled slightly. “I don’t have any work arrangements recently, so I just came to this variety show to relax.”

Everyone present had heard that Best Actor Lu had a car accident last week, and so they believed him when he said he came to relax.

The others were not familiar with Lu Xun, so they got up to greet him and introduce themselves.

Luo Ning was very surprised that Lu Xun was the mystery guest. In the previous life, the original guest did not leave the show due to scheduling conflicts. Could it really be such a coincidence now?

However, she had a good impression of Lu Xun. The previous guest was not very easy to get along with, so having Lu Xun instead was a better choice. She also stood up with the others and introduced herself to Lu Xun.

When Bao Xiangxiang saw Lu Xun, her eyes emitted a strange light. Before she possessed this body, Lu Xun was her idol. She used to think that he was out of reach, but now that she had the opportunity to meet him, she had to seize it. So, after everyone else had finished, she introduced herself sweetly and said with a smile, “Mentor Lu, you are my idol. I’ve seen all your movies and I really like them.

This was true. She often fantasized that if she could meet Lu Xun one day and have a relationship with him, she would be able to wake up every day with a smile on her face. But in the past, she was ordinary looking, and was just an eighteen-year-old unpopular celebrity with no connections. There was no way for her to get in contact with him, so she could only watch and worship from a distance. Now, she was beautiful and outstanding, and men were especially drawn to her. Maybe she could really take Lu Xun down.

This would not only fulfill her previous dream. Lu Xun had a lot of connections and resources in and out of the entertainment world. If she were to become his girlfriend, becoming the best actress or a top celebrity would be just around the corner.

Her current attitude did seem like that of a fan, so the others didn’t think much about it.

“Thank you!” Lu Xun replied formally.

He was very good at reading people. There was nothing unusual about this Bao Xiangxiang on the surface, but there was a hidden fervor and vanity in her eyes. He had to keep a respectable distance from her.

At this time, the bullet comments on the screen were full of screams and excitement.

[Ahhh, my idol is actually the mystery guest, I was so excited that I almost passed out.]

[Oh my god, to see my man crush on a variety show live in this lifetime, I feel complete.]

[My idol is so handsome; I want to lick the screen.]

[What kind of divine production team is this! For being so awesome as to invite my male crush as a guest, I give you a thumbs up.]

The director who was watching the bullet chat was a little speechless. Didn’t they just call them a trashy, blind production team? This about-face came quite fast.

Actually, he was a bit confused himself. Why did Lu Xun take the initiative to ask to participate in their variety show? Could it be that their variety show was really that charming? Regardless, this was a golden opportunity for them, and they would be fools not to accept it.

Seeing the rapid increase in the number of viewers in the live broadcast room, he could not hide the smile on his face. Sure enough, with the participation of Best Actor Lu, the ratings and popularity of the first episode stabilized. As long as there were no accidents, he believed that this show would be popular.

[Is that Bao Xiangxiang a real fan or a fake? By saying that he is her idol right away, is she trying to take advantage of his popularity?]

[She might be a real fan. King Lu is so good, it’s normal to be liked by other celebrities.]

[She could also be faking it. If she admits to being his fan at the beginning, won’t it be easier for her to talk to him in the future?]

[She’s the least popular one here. It feels a little strange for her to act like this after everyone has said hello.]

[I don’t like her much either. She obviously knew about the trending topic, but she still asked Luo Ning if she wanted to switch places with her, so that Luo Ning and Ji Xingheng could catch up. Does anyone else smell green tea1Short for “Green Tea Bitch” (绿茶婊) which describes ambitious women who present themselves as ignorant, pure, and innocent.?]

[If you hadn’t mentioned it, I wouldn’t have noticed, but it seems like she’s quite devious.]

[Our Xiangxiang was obviously kind enough to let Luo Ning and Ji Xingheng reminisce about the past, why are you calling her devious?]

[Right, our Xiangxiang is so pure, like a little angel. She’s not devious at all.]

Bao Xiangxiang’s fans started singing her praises aggressively, calling her a little angel and saying that she’s especially pure and kind. But everyone’s attention was on Lu Xun, and the other fans and non-fans didn’t pay any attention to them.

In the small courtyard, all eight guests were present, and the director began to talk about today’s activities.

“This season’s theme is ‘Leisure Countryside’, so you all will have to experience farm life for yourself.”

“The participating trainees will arrive tomorrow. Today, just get to know each other. We will form teams tomorrow.”

“As you need to experience farm life, you can’t get something for nothing. Since you have just arrived, we will provide the rice and vegetables you need for lunch, but you will have to cook it yourself.”

“After lunch, you will have an hour’s rest. You must go to the village to find work to earn food for dinner.”

“It is up to you what you can have for dinner at night and whether you can be full.”

After the director finished speaking, Tong Jia was speechless. “I knew that the so-called leisure was a cover, and the real thing involved work.”

“Sure enough, the production team has no good intentions. In the end, we have to be self-sufficient in everything,” Wei Yao said with a smile.

The director chuckled. “Since this is a farming experience, it is of course more interesting to be self-sufficient.”

“Now I’ll leave this place to you, we’ll be backstage.” After the director finished speaking, he only kept the live broadcast camera and left the small courtyard with the others.

Wei Yao, the eldest of the group, looked at the others and said, “Then let’s split the work for lunch, who can cook?”

“I can only cook a few home-cooked meals, but they don’t taste very good,” he added.

Due to the reality nature of the show, the guests weren’t told in advance what the theme of the first season would be or what they would be doing once they arrived. Everyone thought that since it was related to a boy idol group competition, the theme of the live broadcast would be related. They never thought that the theme of the first season would be experiencing life in the countryside. They only found out when they got into the production team’s car today, so the guests basically didn’t have any preparation and had to adapt on the spot.
