I'm Crushing on Gorgeous Faces in Variety Shows!-Chapter 182: Tumultuous Love and Hatred, Trials and Tribulations
"Hahahahahahaha!"
"Why add the last two words?! It sounds too weird, hahaha!"
"This is also funny! Basically, Brother Huai is hilarious!"
Laughter filled the bus.
Shi Yuhuai looked around at the people laughing crazily at him and asked, "Why are you laughing? Did I guess wrong?"
"It’s mainly because you added ’man’ at the end, which is just too funny!"
"But I think my fans would indeed set my identity as male," he was a little puzzled, "I’m not very suited to play a female role."
Li Yang said, laughing, "But you’re a guy, how could they possibly make you a girl...?"
The laughter suddenly stopped, Li Yang’s mouth twisted in anxiety, "Wait a minute, my fans wouldn’t make me... make me cross-dress, would they?"
Shi Yuhuai gave him a very straightforward answer, "Very possible."
"..." Ahhhhhhh!
Mentioning this made the female colleagues excited.
Guan Yu stood up excitedly, holding onto the seat, "Cross-dressing is great! It’s a breakthrough in acting!"
Her expression practically screamed, "Come on, come on, put on those dresses and let Auntie take a look."
"Sister Guan Yu, calm down, your speed of jumping up can’t even be captured by the camera."
"Nonsense~"
After Shi Yuhuai finished answering, the next person pointed out was Li Yang.
Li Yang was full of resistance.
"I think they might make me, like, a sunny, handsome, talented stage prince... right?"
Mu Qiu commented leisurely, "The director asked for speculation, not for you to make a wish."
"...I don’t care! I think that’s exactly what they’ll do!"
"And what if you find out tomorrow that they didn’t?"
"Then I’ll go back and block them... okay, kidding, what can I do?! I can only forgive them!"
Shu Ran had been unable to interject, and her gentle nature was almost suppressed. But hearing this, she finally seized the opportunity to join their merry camp.
"Li Yang, you’re speaking with the style of a romantic drama now, that exaggerated performance reminds me of..."
"Guan Yu?" Shi Yuhuai also announced his joining in the conversation.
The talk between the gentle and the straightforward successfully made the topic derail, turning a nice sentence into a critique of Guan Yu’s exaggerated performance.
Shu Ran’s smile turned stiff, struggling to maintain calm, she squeezed out a few words to Shi Yuhuai,
"Could you shut up, Brother Huai?"
The awkwardness came unexpectedly but was still funny.
The rest looked at each other, their mouths twitching in restraint, eventually unable to hold it back, the bus erupted with even more frequent laughter. 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚
"Brother Huai, can you speak properly?"
"Brother Huai specifically taunts Sister Shu Ran, hahaha!"
"It’s killing me! So dry and funny!"
"Brother Huai, have you not taken any sensitivity training?"
"You’re the straight man indeed!"
Everyone was actually laughing, surprisingly, but Shu Ran’s first thought was relief. She adjusted her expression and couldn’t help but laugh along with them.
Only Shi Yuhuai sat there honestly, expressionless yet his eyes revealed an inexplicable innocence.
After Li Yang, he directly pointed to Cheng Zhirang, who earnestly thought for a second, then said, "They might want me to play a relatively ordinary background, younger kind of identity."
Guan Yu enthusiastically asked, "Younger as in how young?"
"University times, or perhaps even younger."
Mu Qiu nodded knowingly, summarizing, "Youth campus storylines."
Guan Yu’s eyes lingered on the two of them again, "Indeed, summarized quite well. I’d also love to see Brother Cheng in a school uniform, waiting at the school gate for his girlfriend after class."
"And then you’re the one standing by, watching yet not daring to meet him, the heartbroken female second lead?" Mu Qiu casually continued.
Guan Yu was speechless, "Can’t I just be an ordinary bystander?"
Mu Qiu shrugged.
Cheng Zhirang smiled watching the two of them bicker, and after they finished, he added, "But I’m guessing I can’t act in that role anymore, a middle school teacher might be barely feasible."
"You don’t have to worry about that, Brother Cheng," Guan Yu waved her hand, "As long as you’re handsome enough, I don’t care about your age. If necessary, we can overlook the plot and identity, just your face satisfies us."
Cheng Zhirang showed a helpless smile.
After saying his guess, he tilted his head to point at Mu Qiu.
"Next, it’s your turn, okay?"
Mu Qiu gestured okay, ignoring the glances bouncing between her and Cheng Zhirang, cleared her throat, and first asked the director.
"How does the program team choose the top fan comment? By the number of likes?"
The director nodded.
She asked again, "What if two comments have the same number of likes?"
"By fate."
"......"
Mu Qiu pursed her lips, and said, "I think they’ll give me a very special identity. Including but not limited to—
A troubled background, sickly body, after experiencing love-hate entanglements and intense romances with famous men in the martial world, becoming disillusioned and retreating to the woods, living by writing."
Guan Yu: "Just from those idioms, you can tell how exciting this story will be."
"I’m also ready, arranged well, I’ve even planned out my statement for delayed updates."
Honestly, when wandering the martial world, how could one avoid getting hurt? If they insist on being so ’unjust,’ then don’t blame me for being ’unrighteous.’
Li Yang watched them talk, suddenly remembered something, leaned forward, and asked the director, "Is this episode just acting out the identities fans imagined? Or what?"
The director crossed both hands into an ’X’: "No comment for now."
Li Yang puckered his lips and sat back, "So stingy, won’t even share this bit of news, even though we’ve been through three episodes and one pilot together."
Director: "The staff is still editing last episode’s video today, Li Yang, you were screaming with your mouth wide open during the rapid currents..."
"Alright, alright, I won’t ask anymore!" Li Yang was genuinely shocked at the team’s tactics, "Are you guys this ruthless?! Always using ugly videos to threaten?"
The director was unfazed, steadily pointing to the next speaker.
It was Guan Yu’s turn.
She thought for a moment and said, "I think they might give me an identity vastly different from mine, like...
A beautiful wealthy princess, waking up every day on a five-meter-long bed, drinking the world’s most expensive tea, eating the world’s most delicious desserts, and having the world’s most handsome boyfriend, with the greatest joy every day being counting money."
Mu Qiu used her expression to show her absolute speechlessness.
"This is even more daring than Li Yang’s, his was wishful thinking, yours is pure daydreaming."
"Can’t I dream? If I can dream, can’t I dream a little fancier? Can you all honestly say you’ve never dreamed of becoming rich overnight?"
...they really have, all sorts of dreams of getting rich, each dream better than the last.
