Quick Transmigration: I Actually Became a System Bug
Chapter 198 International Top Star and His God-like Assistant 27
As Ji Han listened to Owen's furious roar, he was extremely glad that he had just put his phone on the table, otherwise he felt that his ears would go deaf by now!
However, the consequences of Irving's outburst went beyond that. When he made the call, it was at the show's rehearsal venue, and the director, who was not far away, heard it clearly and even looked at him questioningly.
Irving met the director's gaze and silently uttered three words.
"Shi Shaoyu!"
Then the director snatched the phone away instantly.
"Hey? Hello? Is this Movie Emperor Shi? I'm Wu Xian, the director of the variety show 'Ultimate Master'. Xiao Ou told me you want to participate in our show? When is a convenient time for you? Let's sign a contract?"
Ji Han's lips twitched. So this is the stage of signing the contract?
However, Shi Shaoyu and Director Wu quickly finalized the contents of the contract. Of course, he not only finalized his own but also Ji Han's.
For Director Wu, it would be even better if Ji Han could come. Although Ji Han is not an artist in the traditional sense, he can't help but generate buzz!
With topics come buzz, with buzz comes viewership, and that's how ratings go up. Besides, there's a movie star backing you up, which brings in much more revenue than hiring an unknown actor.
And so, the next day, Ji Han and Shi Shaoyu packed their bags, and together with a bewildered Sister Man, they flew to S City to participate in the variety show "Ultimate Master".
Ji Han and Shi Shaoyu had been professional e-sports players in their previous worlds, so they understood very well that the e-sports profession was very youth-oriented. The learning ability, reaction speed, and fighting spirit of young people were the most needed qualities for an e-sports player.
Fortunately, in the show "Ultimate Master", although there are professional e-sports players, these players are all mentors. That is to say, Ji Han and Shi Shaoyu's opponents and teammates are celebrities or amateurs who are about to debut, just like them.
If they were to fight against professional athletes now, even with the health-boosting pills and strong mental strength they possess, their chances of winning would still be slim. But against celebrities, hehehe, that's a piece of cake.
On this variety show, Ji Han and Shi Shaoyu not only met their old friend Owen, but Shi Shaoyu also made a new friend, Liu Qihang.
Actually, Liu Qihang and Shi Shaoyu weren't exactly new friends. The Liu and Shi families lived in the same city and belonged to the same social class. They had met before at some business events or large gatherings. However, Liu Qihang's mother had passed away early, and he spent most of his time at his maternal grandmother's house in City B. So, they were just acquaintances and not very familiar with each other.
Liu Qihang, a third-generation rich kid, came to participate in "The Ultimate Master" purely by bringing his own investment. Moreover, he not only came himself, but also brought his new girlfriend along.
Well... it's also possible that his new girlfriend suggested participating in the show first, which is why he invested in it, but that's not important. What's important is that they both successfully made it to the show in the end.
Liu Qihang was never in the entertainment industry, and he is not currently in charge of the Liu family or even in the group. Moreover, he has not been exposed much before, and he is not the kind of playboy.
This led to most people at the scene not knowing Liu Qihang's identity as a capitalist, and instead assuming he was a complete novice who hadn't yet made his debut.
If others ignored him, Liu Qihang wouldn't be so shameless as to greet other celebrities. But he wasn't a quiet person either, so after looking around again and again, Liu Qihang finally took the initiative to approach Shi Shaoyu.
"Young Master Shi, I didn't expect you to participate in this program as well."
The other party took the initiative to greet him, and Shi Shaoyu also greeted them politely in return.
"Young Master Liu, it's been a long time. How have you been lately?"
After a round of polite exchanges, they somehow ended up having dinner together that evening. Throughout the meal, Ji Han and Liu Qihang's girlfriend, Yao Lili, ate and drank like they were invisible, while the two scoundrels next to them talked non-stop, even getting so drunk they couldn't walk, still chattering away.
Ji Han and Yao Lili exchanged a sympathetic look, then helplessly carried their respective husbands back to the hotel arranged by the production team.
Fortunately, because of Shi Shaoyu and Liu Qihang, the production team arranged for them to stay in top-floor luxury suites, while Ji Han and Yao Lili were the two who stayed there for free.
After the four of them reached the top floor, Ji Han and Yao Lili stopped at the same spot in the hallway. Then one of them opened the left door and the other opened the right door. Well, fate is so wonderful; the four of them ended up living in apartments directly opposite each other.
It's unclear what special catalytic effect that drink had, but ever since that meal, the friendship between Shi Shaoyu and Liu Qihang has progressed by leaps and bounds.
Ji Han even caught Shi Shaoyu and Liu Qihang whispering in the same corner on several occasions, and when he looked over, the two of them pretended that nothing had happened.
Judging from their guilty looks, if Ji Han didn't really know Shi Shaoyu very well, he would have thought they were talking badly about him.
It's worth mentioning that Liu Qihang, despite being a contestant who brought his own investment to the team, actually has pretty good gaming skills. On the other hand, Yao Lili was eliminated in the second round because her skills were too poor, and she went from being a contestant to a front-row spectator.
Ji Han, Shi Shaoyu, and Liu Qihang advanced triumphantly all the way to the final round of the competition.
In the final round, only four teams remained. They were first drawn into pairs to compete against each other, and then the winners' bracket competed for first and second place, while the losers' bracket competed for third and fourth place.
Unfortunately, or rather, it was the coaching staff who deliberately assigned Ji Han, Shi Shaoyu, and Liu Qihang, the three most skilled contestants, to three different teams.
From the day this round of grouping ended, all the remaining participants entered the final closed training phase. During this phase, they couldn't even meet, and all their personal cell phones were collected by the coaches early on, so they couldn't even send a text message.
As a result, Ji Han and Shi Shaoyu, who were only one floor apart, did not see each other for a whole week. When they met again, the haggard and thin condition that Ji Han had worried about in Shi Shaoyu did not happen. In fact, Ji Han felt that Shi Shaoyu seemed to have gained some weight.
He, on the other hand, couldn't eat or sleep well, and had a lot on his mind, so he really did lose several pounds in that week...
