I'm Crushing on Gorgeous Faces in Variety Shows!-Chapter 289: Director, You Actually Use Emoticons~
It’s already the fifth episode of "Different Variety Show", and finally they’ve invited a trending actress with a show currently airing.
But we still don’t know who this actress is, after all, there’s more than one actress with a show currently on air.
Fans of several celebrities have flooded the official Weibo, calmly expressing their hopes that their idol will join the show, while the more excited ones outright claim it.
Apart from the guest star’s fans, there are also some loyal fans of the regular guests and the show, committed to teasing the official account’s admin.
[Xiaobu, why’s this spoiler so late this time?]
[I waited all day on Wednesday, you heartless person]
[I thought I could see the next episode’s format on Wednesday, checked five or six times, but got nothing]
[Xiaobu, are you learning from those old program groups at such a young age?]
[Just tell us, are you a guy or a girl?]
[I blindly guess it’s a guy]
[Why hasn’t anyone considered that Xiaobu might be the director?]
[......That’s such a frightening thought, does the director like using tildes?]
[Hahaha, this whole show is hilarious from top to bottom!]
"Xiaobu" sneakily posted a picture under the top-liked comment.
[Careful, or I’ll make Guan Yu bawl.jpg]
[Hahaha, Xiaobu’s being too mischievous, I’m going to tell Guan Yu!]
[Guan Yu, come quick! Someone’s using your emoji here!]
[Guan Yu has already logged off hahaha]
[I know who it is!! Tang Zi!]
[I guessed it was Tang Zi from my fandom, she hasn’t been on a variety show for a while]
[Tang Zi going on the show with some internet celebrities? Does the production team rank her so low?]
[Does that mean Shu Ran, Li Yang, and Cheng Zhirang are ranked low too? Can’t we just watch the show for the people? Aren’t they good looking? Isn’t the show funny?]
[For those who like conspiracy theories, rank disputes, please move to the trending topics, don’t mess things up here]
[...]
The moment the program team’s Weibo came out, Mu Qiu immediately saw it.
As one of those waiting for "Xiaobu’s Wednesday spoilers", she had already asked Guan Yu and the others why the production team hadn’t released any spoilers yet.
Guan Yu said, she couldn’t guess the youthful thoughts of the production team.
If she couldn’t guess, she wouldn’t guess; she had a romantic Thursday and couldn’t bother with the production team’s spoilers.
After a "lustful" Thursday, on the last day before the live broadcast, she started refreshing the official Weibo for updates early in the morning.
Finally, she caught the latest spoiler.
Unfortunately, it was just the guest information, with no clues about the next episode’s format.
Not revealing anything is the biggest revelation.
She had a premonition this episode might be a big one.
Since it’s going to be something spectacular...
Mu Qiu pulled out her variety show script and "reviewed" it from start to finish.
Was it a dark fairy tale? A mystery investigation? Or a treasure hunt? Or perhaps, a stage show?!
She reached the stage show section, examining every single word carefully, noting down the key details and disregarding the plot-unrelated narration.
As she prepared to "cheat", someone in the program team’s group chat couldn’t resist trying to get some first-hand information.
[Different Li Yang: Director, can you reveal a bit about the next episode?]
[Different Li Yang: Can I have a cooler image?]
[Different Guan Yu: The director says no.jpg]
[Different Li Yang: ...You can even find the director’s emoji]
[Different Shu Ran: If you won’t reveal the next episode, can you at least reveal tomorrow’s filming location?]
[Different Director Guan: No comment]
[Different Director Guan: Guan Yu, if I say a number, shut your mouth immediately.jpg]
[Different Li Yang: Hahahahaha]
[Different Mu Qiu: Director, is it a stage show?!!]
[Different Shu Ran: ? Really?]
[Different Director Guan: No]
[Different Guan Yu: Clever Mu Qiu! Using the process of elimination!]
[Different Director Guan: I won’t say anything more]
[Different Mu Qiu: ...Sister Guan Yu, couldn’t you keep that to yourself?!]
[Different Guan Yu: ...]
[Different Guan Yu: It’s okay, we can guess freely, one of us will be right eventually]
[Different Li Yang: I guess it’s a stage show! Please, director, let it be that! I want to shine!]
[Different Shu Ran: I guess it’s not a stage show, it’s two internet influencers and an actor this time]
[Different Mu Qiu: I guess stage show. Extreme situations require extreme measures, Li Yang needs a professional singing and dancing performance to save his image now]
[Different Cheng Zhirang: Or maybe it’s a fashion show?]
[Different Shi Yuhuai: Fashion show]
[Different Shi Yuhuai: Just a fashion show]
[Different Guan Yu: Then should I guess a skit?]
[Different Mu Qiu: Then, should I guess, we all write an essay together?]
[Different Shu Ran: Everyone shoots a magazine?]
[Different Shu Ran: Actually, I’m more curious if the last place from the previous episode becomes a temporary NPC this time?]
[Different Guan Yu: ...Withdraw that, withdraw it quickly! Don’t let the director see it!]
[Different Shi Yuhuai: @Different Director Guan]
[Different Guan Yu: ...Brother Huai...aren’t you too free?]
[Different Guan Yu: I’ve withdrawn, I’ve withdrawn, is that fine?]
[Different Director Guan: I saw it]
[Different Guan Yu:... I have already departed this world, stop mentioning me]
The group chat was buzzing with discussion, and after Mu Qiu shared all her guesses, a special chime went off, indicating the latest post on the program’s official Weibo.
["Different Variety Show" official Weibo: How could I let you guess so easily, huh ╭(╯^╰)╮/Pic]
The attached picture was a screenshot of their recent group chat, thoughtfully pixelating their avatars.
Below it was a comment from Guan Yu.
[Guan YuV: Ha! I caught you, didn’t I?! You’re the director, right?!] 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂
Mu Qiu also joined the comments outside to follow the trend.
[You’re that kind of director, even using emoji faces/I really misjudged you, Shu Ran.jpg]
The comment section was full of joy, and Mu Qiu sat in front of her tablet, waiting for a reply from the official Weibo, with her breakfast beside her and a glass of fruit and vegetable juice in hand.
The phone on the table vibrated so much it spun around, and she glanced at the caller ID.
She was taken aback.
She thought it would be Cheng Zhirang’s morning call, but it turned out to be someone she hadn’t heard from in a long time.
Mu Qiu put down the juice, grabbed her phone, and walked towards the sofa. Just as she answered the call, a smile crept onto her face.
"The great writer has emerged from retreat?"
On the other end was a very pleasant voice, probably leaning back in a swivel chair, speaking with a lazy smile.
"Just got online, and heard you’ve made a great comeback. A variety show adapted from a web novel, that’s a first in the online fiction circle."
Mu Qiu: "Oh, I’m still not quite there compared to you, a big shot whose book gets bought as soon as it’s published."
The person on the other side humbly accepted this praise and then said, "I watched that show, and only then realized you actually look like this."
