Huayu: Starting with Rejecting 00s Actresses on a Dating Show

The next day.

Tan Wen was woken up early in the morning.

"Play basketball?" Tan Wen was speechless at being woken up by this.

Ao Ruipeng was covered in sweat. "Yes, I've been tortured. I need your help."

"No, I'm a professional. It's pointless to fight you."

Ao Ruipeng was somewhat surprised: "Are you a professional?"

"Yes, I was on my high school basketball team."

"High school basketball team? That's considered professional?"

······

Tan Wen changed his clothes and followed Ao Ruipeng to the basketball court.

The game was now in halftime, and everyone was sweating profusely. Xu Jing, Xiao Ya, and Sun Yike, three girls, were watching from the sidelines.

Sun Yike is handing water to a boy.

That was Feng Fan, Sun Yike's guest mentor. He was very young and a short drama actor. According to Sun Yike, he was quite famous, but no one had ever heard of him.

During last night's pairings, Ao Ruipeng was unfortunately paired with Sun Yike again, and both seemed somewhat dissatisfied, with Feng Fan complaining that Ao Ruipeng hadn't brought any female guests.

Three men and one woman, it's a bit boring.

William was paired with Hemier, and William's feelings were somewhat complicated. He was certain that there was no possibility between him and Hemier, and that the past two days had been a waste.

Xiang Zuo was quite satisfied; getting along well with the two girls surnamed He was a sure win.

He saw Tan Wen walk over and sit down next to Zhang Yanqi.

"Do you play too?" Xiang Zuo asked.

"He's a professional," Ao Ruipeng answered for Tan Wen, speaking loudly.

Tan Wen was a little embarrassed by him.

Xiang Zuo asked with some doubt, "William told me you majored in acting?"

"Yes, I played basketball in high school, and I haven't touched it in a long time."

"Oh, have you acted before?"

"without."

"So your only job right now is this dating reality show?"

"There's also a variety show called 'The Actor' that's being filmed."

"I remember now," Sun Yike interjected, "I saw a video online; didn't you criticize director Guo Jinming?"

"Micro-criticism".

Xiang Zuo has gotten used to Tan Wen's style, which seems to be even worse than her own.

He lectured Tan Wen: "If you want to make it in the entertainment industry, you'd better control your temper. Even I, let alone Guo Jinming, will give full respect to those young directors."

"Do they only respect young directors, but not young actors?"

"When did I ever disrespect young actors?"

"I'm just a young actor. It seems you weren't planning to respect me last night?"

······

"Let's get some rest and get started," Tan Wen said.

At the start of the second half, Tan Wen received the ball and attempted a three-pointer to test his shooting touch, but the basketball bounced over the rim and flew into the artificial lake more than ten meters away.

A group of people stared at him blankly, unsure whether to mock him or praise his strong hands.

Tan Wen obediently retrieved the ball and continued the game.

In the later stages of the game, Tan Wen reduced his long-range shots and focused on physical play, and the opposing players quickly began to show signs of pain.

"Old Jiang, you go up." Gu Beiyu rubbed his shoulders and left the stage.

Jiang Yi was still somewhat apprehensive about physical confrontations with Tan Wen, but he still stubbornly clashed with him time and time again.

······

The other girls came to watch while eating breakfast after they got up.

[Wait, is that Meng Ziyi? How dare she show up in public?]

Wow, how come she hasn't been blacklisted yet? Is the entertainment industry that tolerant?

[This drama queen is here; I'm going to see what she's got to offer.]

This woman is disgusting! Why isn't anyone killing her?

[OMG, this is awful! The production team needs to get rid of her immediately.]

Looking at the comments, Lei Yi was a little unsure whether inviting Meng Ziyi was a good thing or a bad thing.

There weren't many people in the live stream last night, and no one was cursing, but today all these people have suddenly appeared.

······

Tan Wen left the field as soon as the score was tied.

"Water, bread." He walked up to Lu Yuxiao and held out his hand, knowing that Lu Yuxiao would definitely prepare it for him.

Seeing the two of them like this, Ni Ni glanced at Liu Haochun, shook her head, and felt that Liu Haochun had no chance.

Then Tan Wen turned to Liu Haochun, seemingly concerned, and asked, "Who did you team up with?"

"Oh, that's good." There was a hint of jealousy in her tone.

Ni Ni raised an eyebrow, wondering what Tan Wen was trying to say.

Around 10 a.m., the production team began issuing tasks.

First, there's a main quest.

Each group needs to shoot a short video of about ten minutes in length within two days.

Video style should have three key elements: storytelling, sweetness, and educational value.

Everyone was a little confused. They could understand the storyline and the sweetness, but what the heck was the educational aspect?

This isn't the Spring Festival Gala, why are they putting on this show?

The production team didn't offer any explanation, leaving it to the audience to interpret.

Regarding the background music for the video, the production team invited a music teacher to create music based on the style of the short film, so timely communication is very important.

Your videos will be scored by the guests in the observation room and netizens. The video with the highest score will be promoted by the program team. The benefits of this are self-evident.

During this period, the production team will release some side missions as appropriate.

These are the main rules. If any adjustments are needed, the production team will communicate with you promptly.

"Any further questions?"

"Can we borrow guests from another group?"

"no."

"OK, got it."

"Is it possible to film on location?"

"Can."

"OK."

The staff member glanced around, and seeing that no one asked any more questions, nodded and left.

Tan Wen called Lu Yuxiao, Chi Chi, and Meng Ziyi aside.

"Shall we take a break, or get right there around the fire?"

"Let's get together around the fire," Meng Ziyi said, taking Lu Yu and the other person's hands. "Is that alright?"

[Holy crap, are Meng Ziyi and Lulu Xiao in the same group? What should we do?]

[It was all that bastard Tan Wen who invited them; I hope Xiao Lu won't be led astray.]

If the production team doesn't intervene, I'm going to report them.

[It must be said, Meng Ziyi is quite knowledgeable.]

······

Lu Yu nodded slightly. Last night, her agent told her to avoid contact with Meng Ziyi as much as possible, but so far, Meng Ziyi seems to be doing quite normally.

She occasionally reveals a large portion of her cleavage; it probably wasn't intentional, right?

"What are your thoughts?" Tan Wen asked.

"That depends on what kind of story you two have," Meng Ziyi said with a mischievous grin. "The last time I saw you two, Tan Wen was shirtless, carrying a guitar and singing to you."

Lu Yu thought about it and it felt like it was something from a long time ago.

Chi Chi was somewhat dissatisfied with Tan Wen: "I'm very grateful to you for writing songs for Xiao Xiao and helping her deal with cyberbullying."

But I've noticed you're still involved with other girls, so should that part be included in the video too?

Ahem, Tan Wen, keep your eyes on your nose and your nose on your mind.

Meng Ziyi touched Lu Yu's small hand, feeling great sympathy for this girl who had the same experience as him.

Tan Wen: "How about we first try to understand what this 'educational' aspect is trying to express?"

Mencius Yi: "Expressing a correct view of love?"

Chi Chi: "This is the safest approach, but it will be cliché and not very appealing."

Lu Yu raised her hand: "Does this educational message necessarily have to be related to love?"

Upon hearing this, Tan's heart stirred, and he remembered the script he had been rewarded with—"Where the Wind Blows."
