"Best Actor Sir... maybe, maybe you could do something cute?" The young lady fiddled with the hem of her clothes, suddenly bold as brass.
[Bold! But I like it!]
[Hahaha, I kinda want to see this!]
[Best Actor Sir acting cute... Hahaha, go for it, miss!]
Su Yuqing and Gu Zhan turned to look at He Suyan at the same time.
He Suyan: "..."
"Can we switch to something else?" The smile on his lips was faintly stiff, partially concealed.
Act cute? She was one of his fans, yet she still brought it up.
The server lady shrank back a little, and then the next moment straightened her chest again with feigned calm, "This one it is."
[Hahaha, srds, go miss, mighty!]
[I've never seen God He with such a stiff expression before, this is interesting.]
[You Crisp Sugars are really twisted!]
Crisp Sugar was what He Suyan's fans called themselves, and even he didn't know why.
Under the hopeful gaze of the young lady, He Suyan lifted his hand and puffed up his cheeks to act cute.
Although he has had to act like this in dramas, this was a first on a variety show.
"Aw, I'm dead." The young lady exaggeratedly clutched her chest.
[Thank you to all of this young lady's ancestors! Screenshot! Screenshot!]
[Ladies, even when my God He does something cute he's still so handsome, divine looks from heaven!!]
He Suyan, holding his hand over cards, turned to hand them to Su Yuqing. Facing Su Yuqing's eyes brimming with laughter, he stalled, his tongue momentarily pressing against his cheek, "Aren't you leaving? Want to stay and have a feast?"
Gu Zhan's eyes were oozing with desire for the delicious food, "It's not out of the question."
"There's time, let's enjoy first," Su Yuqing also couldn't resist the temptation of food.
She was only a small-time online celebrity, so no one bothered her about maintaining a figure. Not being able to eat and drink to her heart's delight was a regret from her past life.
Watching the two head straight for the food, He Suyan: "..."
In the end, he couldn't help but join in.
The three of them ended up having an eating broadcast, and the popularity of their live room never dipped.
...
After eating their fill, the trio headed to the practice room.
"Since you are the first team, you can choose any practice room, but just a friendly reminder, every room has its distractions, good luck." Director Lin's voice suddenly came out of the speakers.
The startled trio...
Su Yuqing crossed her arms, "The show crew is really cruel."
"Indeed cruel." Gu Zhan nodded in agreement, "By the way, what song is it again?"
"This one." Su Yuqing opened her hand card.
SHINY——
An English song, and rather suitable for a female voice.
Gu Zhan was the lead dancer of a popular boy band, and his vocal skills were above average, but there was no need to mention He Suyan, an all-rounder in singing and dancing.
Now, everyone's concern was Su Yuqing.
She was an actress, and it seemed... she had no discernible strengths.
"This song is going to be difficult for you," Gu Zhan said, frowning as he spoke nothing but the truth.
"But no worries, with me and God He here."
He Suyan said nothing.
Su Yuqing's mouth curved up in a smirk, "Then I'll take your word for it."
"What's important now is to choose a practice room, how do the two of you see it?"
He Suyan, "Every room has distractions, it makes no difference."
"So we just pick any room?"
Gu Zhan nodded, "Yeah."
Then the three of them carelessly pushed open a door.
"..."
Director Lin, reveling in their misfortune, grabbed a walkie-talkie, "Switch the camera to the three of them."
The viewers must be eager to see their stunned expressions.
The empty practice room, apart from the full-length mirror on one wall and a sound system, what made the three freeze in shock was the floor... it was made of ice.
Su Yuqing's lips twitched, "Ice dance practice, I might as well quit the entertainment industry right now."
He Suyan, "...Don't be impulsive."
Gu Zhan: "..."
——[Hahaha! Although that's the case, I really want to laugh too, God He is seriously consoling Su Yuqing.]
——[Honestly, I can understand Su Yuqing, Director Lin's a real dog.]
——[He really does want Su Yuqing to roll out of the entertainment industry.]
——[I agree with the comment above.]
——[Me too.]
The trio's follow-cam PD, under immense pressure, said, "Once a room is chosen, it cannot be changed."
"..."
Su Yuqing scoffed, "So, the 'freedom' theme means we're supposed to be creative?"
They were only given one song, without any choreography.
There was only a day and a half left until the performance the next day.
"Hehe, yes, that's right."
Gu Zhan sighed, "Now I'm out of ideas too."
"But, you were originally going to roll… quit the entertainment industry anyway, so it shouldn't matter if the performance flops, right?"
Su Yuqing lifted her eyelid, "That won't do."
Her lifetime of prestigious reputation.
He Suyan, "If we continue to dawdle, the performance will start."
Both of them looked over, and he had already slowly moved over, starting to work by the speakers.
Ice dance practice—
A massive challenge.
The follow-cam PD wiped the nonexistent sweat from his forehead, "Practice time will be shut off from the live broadcast, we look forward to your performance."
Then quickly cut off the live stream.
The production team did have such a rule, though the broadcast was live, they still needed to edit the footage for the platform to air.
The footage from the study room would be edited separately for VIP paid viewing.
This was one of Director Lin's ways to make money and also to maintain a sense of mystery for the performance.
When the live stream was cut, the online viewers expressed their regret, and the bullet comments flew.
Meanwhile, other participants were also tackling various tasks; Xi Yanhong's group and another group led by a female singer had also completed their challenges and were at the stage of selecting rooms.
"Director, the Su Family has called." An assistant director had received a phone call and approached Director Lin.
Director Lin's eyelids flicked up, "What did they say?"
"They want Su Yuqing to quit this phase of recording."
"They wish. Tell them, Su Chengxi has already breached the contract, and if Su Yuqing quits as well, they better be ready to pay the penalty first."
The assistant director chuckled, "I knew you'd say that, I've already given them that reply."
He looked as though he was waiting for praise.
Director Lin was at a loss for words.
"By the way, the Jiang Family has been making frequent moves and has announced a full blockade against Su Yuqing."
Director Lin pondered for a moment, "What does Huatai say?"
"They have not taken a position yet."
But it was only a matter of time.
Huatai was partly owned by the Su Family, and though others were in charge, they couldn't confront the Su and Jiang Families, abandoning Su Yuqing was only a matter of time.
Besides, Su Yuqing wasn't someone of any value.
"No matter, we'll see," Director Lin wasn't in a hurry to take a stance; he still held the same view, Su Yuqing was of no value for the time being.
Inside the practice room, Su Yuqing sat on the windowsill, appearing to give up, but in reality, she was communicating with the system.
"Host, considering you didn't lie last time, I am giving you a message for free." The mechanical voice was as cold and emotionless as ever.
Su Yuqing paused, "Speak."
"You've been jointly blacklisted by the Jiang and Su Families."
"...Isn't this shit your fault?" A cold light flashed in her eyes.
Had it not asked her to expose that pair of dogs in public, would she be in such a passive situation?
