The day of the variety show's finale gala finally arrived.
The guests were still backstage doing their makeup, but the cameraman had already come in with his camera.
"Hello viewers, we are looking forward to meeting everyone this afternoon. Our guests have already started getting ready."
Lin Yichen suddenly opened the door and came in, roaring at the person next to him: "You can't even do such a small thing right, what use are you? Are you brain-dead, ***"
The assistant next to him stood there in fear, eyes red.
The break room suddenly fell silent.
When Lin Yichen saw the camera, his face immediately froze. The cameraman was also startled and quickly pointed the camera in another direction.
At this moment, the live comments were already flooding the screen.
[???]
[Holy crap, is this the polite, sweet, and caring top-tier idol Lin Yichen?]
[Lin Yichen is so scary. Didn't they say he had a great temper?]
[If the assistant made a mistake, can't he be scolded? Haters, please stay away.]
[The assistant is so pitiful...]
This time, the cameraman aimed the camera at two people in the corner.
Ji Zhaoxi and Jiang Yanchen were eating. The two were sitting very close together. When Ji Zhaoxi shifted to the side, Jiang Yanchen would follow and shift to the side as well.
Ji Zhaoxi seemed to have said something, and Jiang Yanchen's ears immediately turned red. He glared at her angrily, but Ji Zhaoxi just looked at him with a smiling face. Jiang Yanchen then uncomfortably turned his head away.
[These two are really sticking together all the time.]
[The leopard and cat have finally appeared! I'm your baby [Loud crying]]
[The way these two interact is really the complete opposite of their appearances.]
[I don't like watching elementary school kids in love!]
Seeing that the two of them hadn't noticed the commotion behind them, the cameraman couldn't help but clear his throat.
As soon as she saw the camera behind them, Ji Zhaoxi awkwardly stepped away a bit. Jiang Yanchen took a look, then stuck close to her again.
The cameraman smiled and asked, "May I ask if you two have anything to say to your teammate?"
Ji Zhaoxi blurted out, "I wish you get richer and richer."
The most simple and unadorned wish.
Jiang Yanchen thought for a moment. Not knowing what he had thought of, his face suddenly turned red, and he cleared his throat.
"Then I wish you... become more and more popular."
[Is what he's thinking in his heart the same answer as what he's saying with his mouth?]
[Why is he blushing over wishing Ji Zhaoxi gets more popular? Can anyone understand what this guy is actually thinking?]
[Jiang Yanchen is killing me!]
[Within a hundred years, no one will know exactly why Jiang Yanchen blushed.]
The cameraman gave a meaningful "Oh": "A very official blessing."
Shen Huaiqiu and Xie Siheng were drinking tea nearby. Xie Siheng was like an old cadre, wandering around every day holding his cup of tea.
"Mr. Shen, Mr. Xie, do you have any regrets after the show ends?" The cameraman looked at the script.
Xie Siheng took a sip of tea and smiled: "No regrets at all. This is a very perfect memory, and I've made so many friends. I plan to retire there when I'm old."
Shen Huaiqiu hesitated for a moment, but still spoke up: "My biggest regret is not having a good relationship with Ms. Ji."
An unfriendly gaze suddenly came from behind, and Xie Siheng silently moved a bit further away.
"Before, in Ms. Ji's first drama, I was an extra in her show. But at that time, the crew delayed paying us extras. After Ms. Ji found out, she went and helped us get our wages back. I'm really very grateful to her."
"I feel really guilty that I never stood up to speak for Ms. Ji before. I'm saying it now because I don't want everyone to misunderstand her."
He still remembered that the somewhat famous actors had already wrapped up and gone home, leaving only them, the extras, waiting at the entrance of the set.
On a snowy day, and so late at night, Ji Zhaoxi was wearing just a padded jacket, her face red from the freezing cold, frowning as she asked them about their wages.
At that time, they just stood nearby listening to Ji Zhaoxi arguing with the director on the phone. They argued for a long time before the director finally sent someone to settle their wages.
When they were leaving, Ji Zhaoxi even gave them taxi fare, telling them to go back early.
So later, when he saw news online saying she had a bad character, he never believed it, but he didn't have the courage to stand up back then.
[Holy crap, these two actually have this kind of history.]
[Xixi is truly beautiful inside and out, boohoo.]
[What should I do, my OTP, I've been shipping this pair from the very beginning.]
[Uh... what's the use of saying this now? Ji Zhaoxi's reputation has already turned around. I remember Shen Huaiqiu's studio even added fuel to the fire against Ji Zhaoxi before, right?]
Ye Mubai was nearby teasing a big yellow dog. This dog belonged to the village.
It didn't have an owner and wandered around the village every day, eating whatever it could find.
Ye Mubai smiled at the camera: "When we were leaving, the other dogs had stopped chasing us, but it was still chasing, its paws all worn out."
Ye Mubai held up Dahuang's paw to the camera, and Dahuang barked a few times to give him face.
"The villagers and the village chief said this dog had been uncared for since it was little, so I brought it home."
The cameraman pointed the camera at Sang Ranbai: "What about Ms. Sang, do you have anything to say?"
Sang Ranbai was signing her name. She put down the pen in her hand and smiled at the camera: "I hope our performance in the show can bring everyone joy, and I also hope everyone is happy every day."
The camera turned to the inner venue of the finale gala. Countless photographers were crowded below with their cameras set up, the sound of shutters firing one after another like a machine gun. The fans inside held light signs, while the fans blocked outside screamed incessantly.
"Ladies and gentlemen, friends from the media, good afternoon everyone!" The host stood on the stage, speaking passionately.
But the fans and media below were so excited that hardly anyone was listening to him.
The host didn't expect to get the fans below to listen to him anyway. He didn't know how many times he had hosted, and every time, few people in the audience paid attention to him.
The director sat in the middle. Jiang Yanchen followed behind Ji Zhaoxi and sat down next to her.
"In the past few months, we have witnessed a rural journey together..."
The host quickly sped up his speaking rate. If he spoke any slower, the fans below would start getting impatient.
The fans below kept sighing.
"After the host speaks, the director has to speak. After the director speaks, everyone else has to speak. When will we finally get to the Q&A session?"
"I really think all this build-up at the beginning could be completely skipped."
"Alright, alright, stop talking, it's starting."
The host smiled: "Now, let's invite our friends from the media to ask questions."
A reporter below quickly stood up: "My question is for Mr. Jiang. May I ask which segment in the show you found the most embarrassing? Was it the chicken farm, or picking lotuses, planting rice, grabbing vegetables, or the blind boxes?"
Jiang Yanchen could be considered the resident unlucky guy of the show; no one had ever seen someone so unlucky.
