Chapter 121: Livestream Meeting
The production team was divided into a few filming teams that followed closely behind each member.
Chen Che was naturally no exception.
However, Gong Wanqing was left alone by Chu Zhengfei. Even her manager was accompanying her.
When Gong Wanqing saw Chen Che, she did not roll her eyes at him mockingly. She just ignored him.
“You and Gong Wanqing…”
Jiang Ying walked to Chen Che’s side and asked softly, “Did you know each other in the past? Did you have any conflicts?”
Jiang Ying asked Chen Che. Jing Ran was also at the side. Although he did not ask, he kept staring at Chen Che.
Chen Che smiled and said, “I’ve never seen it before…”
Then it seemed that there was indeed some conflict, but Chen Che could not say it.
To be able to become such a celebrity, other than the support of the company and her manager, if she was not smart, she would have been eliminated long ago.
Jiang Ying did not ask further, indicating that Chen Che should say whatever he wanted to say.
Chen Che looked at Jiang Ying gratefully. With such a personality, regardless of gender, it was very easy to get close to her.
Although Jing Ran had some aura and was a little arrogant, that was only her personal characteristics. It did not represent her in reality.
At this moment, she also went forward to talk to Chen Che, although she did not mention the previous topic. “Did you tell Director Chu that you want to settle down?”
Chen Che said frankly, “Who is willing to be eliminated?”
Jing Ran nodded. “I think so too. Even if you haven’t been active for two years, you shouldn’t lower your status. You know that this job is just to set others off, but you still agreed to come.”
Jing Ran asked Chen Che, “Is it really because of the fifth season of ‘Let’s Go’? With a little adjustment, two fixed variety shows can quickly increase your popularity.”
Chen Che chuckled. “Don’t pretend to be stupid. Is the problem now the conflict between the two variety shows?”
Jing Ran smiled knowingly and did not say anything else.
Because the filming was about to officially begin.
Beep, beep, beep!
Subtitles show March 6, 2017, at 1:00 p.m.
There was a knock on the door. The camera split into three, showing scenes from three different locations.
At three different locations, the three doors were knocked at almost the same time and slowly opened.
The camera captured three valiant figures and weathered faces.
From left to right, they were Jing Ran, Li Mingyu, and Chen Che.
The scene was deliberately fixed to leave a deep impression on the audience.
“Hello…”
“Hello. Please come in.”
Compared to the other two, Chen Che had already warmly opened the door to welcome the staff.
Cameras followed as everyone walked in.
The actors all understood that when there was a camera present, they could not look directly at the camera. This was basic professionalism.
“Has the shooting started?”
Chen Che asked a bespectacled lady curiously. This lady was naturally the staff in charge of communication.
“Yes, we’ve already started filming.”
The lady replied with a smile and handed over a phone. “This is for contact.”
Chen Che took the phone and sat down. At the same time, he called for everyone to sit down.
Just as the call connected, Chen Che said politely, “Hello, may I ask…”
The other party also spoke clearly. “Hello, Chen Che. We’re the production team of the third season of ‘In the Prime of Life’. Now, you’ve been chosen as a tour guide. There are a total of three candidates. Later, you’ll need to use your phone to broadcast your campaign speech.”
Chen Che asked in surprise, “I’m one of the campaign guides?”
The other party confirmed, “That’s right. There are two more people. You’re both candidates. The rest of the members will vote. After the two of you are done, you’ll start speaking.”
Chen Che nodded. “Alright, I understand.”
The other party gestured. “You can look at it first. Each campaign guide has twenty minutes.”
Chen Che originally thought that it would be 30 minutes, but with him around, the time naturally had to be divided equally.
As expected, Li Mingyu was the first to start.
This was an online live-stream. Li Mingyu was live-streaming, and the others appeared with IDs and left comments.
In other words, everyone could see Li Mingyu, but he didn’t know who the others were.
Li Mingyu seemed a little shy and not good at expressing himself.
As she spoke, she could not help but laugh shyly. The atmosphere was a little awkward.
These would definitely be edited out during filming. Otherwise, it would take a total of 60 minutes. How long would an episode take?
However, in real life, actors do have to go through every detail.
Twenty minutes meant twenty minutes.
Chen Che thought with emotion that no matter what Class he was in, it was not an easy thing.
Fortunately, everyone could interact through messages and answer the audience’s questions.
For example, he asked Li Mingyu about his English level or if he had traveled before.
At the same time, there would be people who would mention exile and ask if he could withstand it.
Faced with these questions, Li Mingyu smiled nervously and asked curiously, “Has someone already planned to exile me?”
Just like that, twenty minutes passed quickly.
Next, it was Jing Ran’s turn.
Obviously, Jing Ran was more calm and confident. After all, he had participated in the previous season’s show.
This was his advantage.
In addition, as a rising local celebrity, his popularity was quite high.
Once he appeared on the live broadcast, the interaction became even more enthusiastic. There were even people who sent him rockets and gifts.
“Thank you, thank you!”
Jing Ran thanked her on the phone with a smile.
Twenty minutes passed quickly. He waved goodbye to everyone. “Please choose me! I don’t want to be exiled. I hope to tour with everyone. Please!”
The live broadcast ended successfully.
Next, everyone waited expectantly for the last tour guide—Chen Che.
Due to Chen Che’s special status, Chu Zhengfei specially accompanied him on a live broadcast.
This was a live broadcast on his phone. Chen Che could see the audience, but he could not see their faces.
If this was not a program and they knew the other party’s identity in advance, they would have to showcase their talents during the live broadcast.
Chen Che did not know if the other two candidates had a script, but they probably did not.
Otherwise, there wouldn’t be a difference in performance. That wouldn’t be acting.
The program script was indispensable.
The difference between actors participating in variety shows and filming dramas was that when they acted out their roles, they had more room to perform than their lines.
Unless it was necessary, they would tell the actors what this segment was about and what the final outcome was.
The process is left to the actors themselves.
After all, reality shows had to have some truth.
Just as Chen Che was about to start the live broadcast, Chu Zhengfei walked up to him.
He knew that she didn’t just want to talk about the filming.
As expected, Chu Zhengfei sized up the busy staff and gestured for Chen Che to follow her to the side.
“I heard that you once replaced Qu Feng in a movie called Langya. Is that true?” Chu Zhengfei asked curiously.
Chen Che smiled. It was obvious that Gong Wanqing or her manager had already mentioned this.
He nodded in tacit agreement, then asked, “She wants to squeeze me out again?”
Chu Zhengfei asked in surprise, “Why do you say again?”
Chen Che was stunned. “Didn’t she tell you?”
Pointing around, Chen Che added, “Yesterday, in the capital, I went to audition for the role of a movie. Coincidentally, she was the female lead. She told the director that if I had any scenes, she would withdraw. In the end, I was chased away.”
Chu Zhengfei frowned. “She didn’t say..”
