I'm Crushing on Gorgeous Faces in Variety Shows!-Chapter 150: Just How Many Inspirational Quotes Do You Have Memorized?
Early in the morning, a group of audience stirred up a storm in the comments, causing many who were seriously watching the show and idols to feel irritated and turn off the comments.
It’s really lowering the audience’s liking for this show.
Meanwhile, within the show, a group of people who had just finished chatting joyously were unaware of this relatively minor issue.
At nine o’clock, the accompanying director sought their unanimous opinion and then led them to the new game’s location.
A hot spring resort area in Japanese style, reportedly one of the top three favorite scene locations in Little Paradise among customers.
Mu Qiu glanced at the décor of the hot spring house and remembered Zhao Yu saying before that she would work hard for two months to come here once, maybe even encounter a somewhat clueless rich second generation who would fall head over heels for her.
Dreaming is one thing, but having unrealistic ideas is her fault.
She hadn’t even asked Zhao Yu if she had saved enough money to come here once yet, or if she needed some photos of Mu Qiu enjoying the hot spring pool to send to her.
Guan Yu, who had been complaining about the crew not providing food, lit up upon seeing the word "hot spring" at the entrance.
"I’m not saying anything, director, Li Yang and I didn’t even have breakfast this morning, soaking in the hot spring on an empty stomach can easily make us faint!"
The key is that while she was accusing, she was also rummaging through her backpack.
"Hmm? Where’s my swimsuit?"
The director stopped her dramatic behavior, "Did I say people with zero points can still enjoy the hot spring?"
"......"
"What do you mean?"
Two minutes later, the dejected Guan Yu and Li Yang were squatting in the middle of the hot spring hut, ignoring the laughter around them, only showing lifeless expressions to the camera.
"It’s my fault for miscalculating people’s ruthlessness, I’m very disappointed in the crew right now." 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮
"Sister Guan Yu, didn’t you say you’d stay put halfway and not go? Why didn’t you do that halfway through?"
"Even staying put needs a signal or hint, right? You didn’t give me a look."
"......so now we have to stay here and just watch them like this?"
"I knew it long ago, the excitement is theirs, I’m left with solitude."
"How much more soul-soothing advice do you have up your sleeve?"
"Only about half a book’s worth."
The two shared a wordless gaze, then both looked away and sighed deeply at the camera.
"Sigh!"
"Sigh!"
"Isn’t it quite inhumane that those with zero points have no rights?"
"I’m hungry, what about you, Li Yang?"
"I’m hungry too."
Hungry as they were, there was no food. The two squatted in front of the same camera, refusing to let the cameraman budge, hands on the camera, venting to the audience about the crew’s mercilessness and others’ indifference.
In another camera shot, inside the Japanese-style hut, apart from the position where Guan Yu and Li Yang were squatting, the others were rapidly selecting props.
"This game is called: Product Recommendation. Each person picks an item from the prepared wooden box, striving to recommend the benefits of the item to the two zero-point guests to gain their approval. During the recommendation, everyone must maintain their drawn expression, and ideally, the item recommended should relate to the expression."
"During the recommendation, Guan Yu and Li Yang are free to ask questions. At the same time, they act as supervisors overseeing whether each member’s facial performances are correct. If a team is entirely zeroed out within a big cycle, the game ends."
"Furthermore, those originally zero-point have been eliminated, so they can abstain from facial performances. However, Li Yang, as a ’bailed’ mobile NPC, carries a penalty, so during this game, as a supervisor, you must also maintain your drawn expression."
Powerless and devoid of rights, Li Yang slouched dispiritedly in the middle of the hut, barely smiling at the camera.
"I hope heaven doesn’t have directors."
The backpack was re-drawn as soon as they entered the hot spring hut.
Cheng Zhirang was expressionless, Shi Yuhuai smiled, Li Yang rolled his eyes, Shu Ran laughed until tears came out, Guan Yu had no choice, Mu Qiu cried, Lin Xixi winked, Duan Pinyuan grinned, Qi Feng slanted a smile.
Mu Qiu, performing the crying expression most focused on in this round, received everyone’s sympathy.
What kind of item could make someone cry their heart out while introducing it?
Mu Qiu also thought it was tricky. Once the director let them start picking items, she searched through every wooden box intensely, trying to find one that she would still introduce even while sobbing.
In the end, she actually found one, hid it in her jacket so others couldn’t see it.
She’s sure today’s show will hit its first peak once she introduces the product.
Li Yang rolled his eyes while waiting for the first person to introduce a product.
Shi Yuhuai’s corners of the mouth raised without emotion, his cheerful smile expression performed looked weird, akin to a real-time ’hehe’ expression.
He stepped forward, placing a pink flip phone hung with a water diamond pendant in front of Guan Yu and Li Yang.
"This phone is very pretty, young girls would like it."
"......That’s it?"
Shi Yuhuai thought for a moment and added, "It’s also very affordable."
Guan Yu: "That’s it?"
Li Yang kept rolling his eyes, holding back the impulse to have a spasm, and asked, "Brother Huai, you say young girls would like it, why are you selling it to us?"
Saying this.
Guan Yu pretended to pat him lightly on the back of the head, her expression switched to inexpressible shyness, "Can’t you ask differently? Brother Huai, you say young girls would like it, but I’m eighteen and not a little girl, I prefer slider phones."
Li Yang: "......You’re shameless, Sister Guan Yu."
Truly shameless, the prop around Shi Yuhuai’s waist lost control, spraying on the ground. Because it’s a Japanese room, all on tatami mats, the spray quickly "bounced" back, swiftly engulfing Shi Yuhuai who couldn’t hold back with closed eyes.
Guan Yu and Li Yang leaned back to avoid the fumigation.
Li Yang: "See? Even lifeless props agree with me."
Guan Yu grumbled fiercely, "Shut up."
Having suffered a spray right away, Shi Yuhuai refused to let go and grabbed back the girly pink flip phone, saying, "I’m not introducing it, let others go first."
"Wait a minute! How can someone stop halfway during a pitch? You’re an unqualified salesman, you’ll be fired for this!"
Perseverance is needed, just one more time before Shi Yuhuai can be zeroed out!
Shi Yuhuai was set on leaving, "I’ll come back later."
With that, he promptly withdrew.
Guan Yu furiously slapped the small tea table, "Next! Hurry up!"
Li Yang rolled his eyes, "Yes! Next one!"
Who was next?
Everyone looked at each other, checked how many penalty turns they had left, and then cast their gaze on the one with the longest life and fearlessness—Cheng Zhirang.
Cheng Zhirang still had five turns left; rushing up to be slashed twice should be fine.
Suddenly watched by everyone, Cheng Zhirang glanced up at them, paused for two seconds, then gently asked, "Should I go?"
"Go, go, you go!"
"Brother Cheng, it’s your turn, you’re definitely great."
"Exactly, Brother Cheng, you go ahead."
