Zhao Xiaotao had friends at Dongcheng TV and only got the news about Tao Shiyan's participation in "Journey" two days in advance. The rest of the people knew nothing about it. So when Tao Shiyan appeared with that iconic scar, the guests were all excited.
Xu Lichu didn't expect happiness to come so suddenly. He danced excitedly and ran to Tao Shiyan and bowed deeply: "Teacher Tao, I, I am your fan, I like you very much!"
Cheng Xi felt a little unhappy for no reason.
Shen Yi was surprised: "Time delay, it's really you! Are you tired of making movies and come to variety shows to experience life? Can the platform's lines hold up?"
They have worked together and have a good relationship in private.
Tao Shiyan said: "The movie is still on the interest list for now, and it should take two or three years to film."
Why did Ning make it seem like making a movie is easy? Shen Yi rolled his eyes in anger.
After Tao Shiyan came over, Prince Han also gathered around him. Only Cheng Xi and Meng Bai were left on the field. Cheng Xi stood in the shadow of the camera, playing with his hat boredly while enjoying the cool weather. He always felt like someone was staring at him from behind.
Looking back, Meng Bai was looking down at the tips of his shoes, his big eyes drooping, looking particularly painful.
All six guests were in place. After greeting everyone, the director Liu raised his loudspeaker and came as MC: "Okay, everyone is finally here. Welcome to the first season of "Unexpected Journey". Without further ado, let's go on. I will announce the rules of the show."
"'Journey' is a travel and competition variety show. As the name suggests, while touring the scenery, you also need to complete the tasks assigned by the director team and earn points."
"Most tasks come with point rewards, which are settled once at each station. The person with the highest points is the winner of the station. After the six stations of the first season, the person with the highest total points is the overall champion. The overall champion will receive the ultimate reward from the program team. .”
Xu Lichu was curious: "What is the ultimate reward?"
Director Liu’s face was filled with pride: “deliver a Greater China spokesperson!”
deliver a, the world's top luxury brand, each season's spokesperson for new products is either an international supermodel or an actor or actress, making it one of the best fashion resources.
And once you get the endorsement of Deliver A, it will leave an impression on other brands, which is equivalent to opening up a fashion channel, and the benefits are self-evident.
Dongcheng TV has really spent a lot of money.
Everyone's eyes suddenly changed.
"Have I made the competition system clear?" Director Liu took a deep breath, "Then from now on, you have entered the competition. For the sake of fairness, no one is allowed to use cash, bank cards or software with payment functions. You are not allowed to ask anyone other than the guests to help complete the task. If you are discovered by the program team, you will be given a warning for the first time, and you will be punished for the second time.”
Cheng Xi asked: "How to punish?"
"The foul process will be pinned to the top of Weibo for a week and pushed to the homepage of every viewer who follows "Journey"."
"???"
Not to mention others, Tao Shiyan alone has 80 million Weibo fans, and the foul process is pushed to the homepage of hundreds of millions of viewers...
Numb.
He also has three station sisters, so he can't afford to lose that person.
Cheng Xi withdrew the probing jiojio.
"Since you have no objections," Director Liu said, "the first stop will be a competition in groups of two. Now you will be given ten minutes to pack your belongings. The ten-minute countdown begins!"
Director Liu gave an order, and the place suddenly turned into a mess.
Time was urgent, so Prince Han quickly ran to Meng Bai to discuss countermeasures: "Xiao Bai, Teacher Tao will definitely have to ask you to form a team soon."
Meng Bai shook his head: "I don't know how the program team will be allocated, but even if he wants to team up with me, I won't agree. My poor health can easily hold him back."
"It doesn't matter, he will definitely take good care of you and take you flying," Wang Zihan sighed, "Who do you think I should look for? Apart from you and Teacher Tao, the only other man left is Cheng Xi. But don't worry, I will definitely not choose he."
If it is an ordinary variety show, you only need to consider whether there are many scenes and whether the variety show is good or not. But with the reward of Deliver A, everyone wants to win.
"Either you choose Li Chu," Meng Bai suggested. "Shen Yi has such a strong personality, I'm afraid you two will quarrel."
Prince Han also planned this. After the selection was finalized, he breathed a sigh of relief and took out his mobile phone to read the news that he had not finished watching just now.
The screen lit up, and it showed a photo of Cheng Xi and Tao Shiyan colliding at the airport.
The two of them were stuck together.
The quality of the picture is very blurry. It should have been taken by passers-by. From the side, it looks like... Cheng Xi is throwing himself into a hug.
He and Meng Bai were the first to arrive, and they came across this photo while browsing Weibo together. Then the camera started recording, but the two have yet to find a chance to communicate.
Wang Zihan snorted: "Sure enough, he was looking for the sponsor everywhere. The hot search didn't go down. He sniffed the smell of resources and dug into Teacher Tao's arms. Xiaobai, don't mind, Teacher Tao definitely doesn't like it. His type."
Meng Bai bit his lower lip and said nothing.
"By the way, when did Teacher Tao go to Songjiang City? His surname is Cheng. He is very lucky."
"Two days ago," Meng Bai rolled his eyes, "I can't remember the details."
On the other side, Cheng Xi had no idea that Meng Bai was mocking him because of the seemingly ambiguous photo.
He carried the suitcase to the program team's car and took off his backpack. Zhao Xiaotao ran over to catch it with great discernment, "Cheng'er, leave the important items here with me and I'll keep them for you."
Cheng Xi was a little depressed and said "Yeah".
Zhao Xiaotao knew the reason for his unhappiness: "If you can't sleep well, just discuss it with the program team and let's go out and live at night."
Cheng Xi has a problem. Whether he lives at home or in a hotel, his bedroom must face the sun and have a large window. He originally had sleep problems. If the living conditions were worse, it would be difficult to fall asleep.
"No need," Cheng Xi said expressionlessly, "Since you signed the contract, you have to follow the rules. I can survive two months."
Zhao Xiaotao sighed, he could survive two months, but what about his body? If he doesn't get enough sleep, he'll be doomed.
Suddenly unable to think of a good idea, Zhao Xiaotao lowered his head and looked at the time: "There are still five minutes left. Who are you planning to form a team with later?"
"Anything is fine," Cheng Xi didn't care much about the reward. He paused and added, "As long as it's not Tao."
Given Tao Shiyan's status in the industry, going against him will probably not end well. Zhao Xiaotao tried to be a peacemaker: "It's better to dissolve enemies than to make enemies. Maybe you can try to get in touch with him. He won't help you at the airport." Is it done?"
"Stop thinking nonsense," Cheng Xi said angrily, "With my current situation, it's too late for others to hide from me. And I can't stand the kind of person who pulls 25,800,000 yuan, and I will never be friends with him. Now No, and I won't do it in the future. I swear, if I have any relationship with him, I will be unlucky for three months, right?"
Zhao Xiaotao's eyelids twitched and he quickly covered Cheng Xi's mouth: "Okay, okay, I understand. I will never mention this again. Don't make blind oaths to harm yourself!"
Cheng Xi slapped his hand down, dusted his sleeves, and finally regained his wish.
Ten minutes passed quickly. Director Liu called everyone together and took out six envelopes. "After thinking about it, everyone must have a suitable teammate in mind, right?"
"yes!"
"But it's useless what you think."
"..."
Then what the hell are you thinking about, thinking about being lonely?
"I have six number cards in my hand, with Arabic numerals 0 to 5 written on them. Now please come over and draw your serial numbers, stick them on your body, and choose the group according to the numbers from large to small. By the way, I would like to remind you in advance,
The three groups a, b, and c respectively correspond to the delivery location of the first task. Group a is the closest to the clues and is the easiest to complete the task, while group c is the farthest from the clues, so you must think carefully."
It sounds so difficult. Xu Lichu glanced at Director Liu and was the first to take out the envelope. Cheng Xi followed her and pulled out one at random.
Returning to his original position, he opened the envelope.
The corners of his normally unbent mouth suddenly dropped.
After everyone finished drawing and pasting the number plates, Director Liu scanned the circle roughly and said, "No. 5 is Meng Bai. Meng Bai, which group do you choose?"
Everyone cast envious glances at him, and Xu Lichu muttered: "Do you still have to ask? I will definitely choose Group A."
Meng Bai timidly said: "Director Liu, I choose group B."
Xu Lichu choked up.
According to the program team, group A has the highest probability of success. When there is room for choice, normal people will definitely not choose B over A. That would be asking for trouble.
Everyone exchanged glances, but soon realized that Meng Bai did this for Tao Shiyan.
Tao Shiyan drew No. 2, which is the fourth person to choose group. If Meng Bai chooses group A, the next one will also choose group A in order to win, and he will not be able to be in the same group as Tao Shiyan.
More sure there is something wrong with the two of them.
Next was Wang Zihan, who chose Group A as a normal person. No. 3 was Xu Lichu. She guessed that her idol would be in the same group as Meng Bai, so she reluctantly went to Group A.
Director Liu: "It's the 2nd... time delay, it's you, which group do you choose?"
Everyone is looking at Tao Shiyan. Teaming up with him means that this group will definitely get the most shots, get the most attention, and have the highest winning rate in terms of physical fitness and other aspects.
Wang Zihan's eyes drifted toward Meng Bai with a vague smile. The other guests followed him and looked at Meng Bai, all showing a look of understanding.
Since there is a competitive element, Tao Shiyan will definitely choose the people he raises, and the wealth will not go to other people's fields.
Moreover, Meng Bai went to Group B for him, which was a huge sacrifice. It would be strange if he didn't choose Meng Bai.
Meng Bai was a little embarrassed to be stared at by so many people, and glared at Wang Zihan with an angry look on his face, unable to conceal the expectation on his face.
But Tao Shiyan didn't seem to notice Meng Bai's little move, and his expression remained calm. He took off his sunglasses, held them on his fingertips and turned them twice. His long fingers were white and cold against the black lenses.
His eyes moved between the three groups, and finally stopped at the end: "I choose group C."
"..."
The guests were confused and suspected that there was something wrong with their ears.
Cheng Xi was a little unable to stand.
Then, without Liu cueing the process, Shen Yi took the initiative and said: "I choose group B." After saying that, he stood next to Meng Bai.
"Okay, the group selection is over," Director Liu smiled, "The remaining Cheng Xi will automatically be classified into group C."
When the representative of Group C went to the same team as Tao Shiyan, Cheng Xi couldn't stand at all.
Based on the grudge between the two of them, can they fight you to the death?
He immediately raised his hand: "Director, I want to refuse."
Director Liu squinted at his waist and said cruelly: "You have no right to refuse."
"Why!"
I actually had the nerve to ask why!
"Acknowledge the reality, kid," Director Liu spread his hands, "Who told you to be 0~"
