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

Ao Ruipeng stood up abruptly, "Don't talk nonsense."

He was a whole head taller than Sun Yike, and seeing his stern expression, Sun Yike felt a little scared.

But seeing so many cameras pointed at her, she raised her head again:

"What else could she be but a scheming bitch? We were teaming up, and she was chatting with you so happily—what does that mean? She's deliberately trying to hurt me."

"I made the call to her," Ao Ruipeng explained to Sun Yike seriously.

Sun Yike seemed not to hear him. She beckoned Zhang Yanqi and Feng Fan, who had already approached, over.

She recounted what had just happened to the two of them:

"Oh my god, really, this is what a 'green tea' behavior is like. No wonder so many people are criticizing her online. When you go back, tell the guys about her behavior and see what they say about her."

【Oh no, what just happened? Is it that serious?】

[What a crazy person! This is a disaster that Meng Ziyi suffered for no reason.]

Holy crap, who is this? I've never seen anything like it.

Although Meng Ziyi wasn't a good person, Sun Yike is just too amazing.

[She told Feng Fan to go back and share with the boys, and I instantly felt a chill run down my spine. That malice...]

Ao Ruipeng's group had the lowest number of viewers in their live stream, and Lei Yi had given up hope on them. But after Sun Yike's outburst, the number of viewers in their live stream skyrocketed.

Lei Yi suppressed his excitement, knowing that this clip would go viral and generate a huge amount of discussion for the show.

The production team faces very little risk in terms of viewership, as the audience's criticism will be focused on Sun Yike and Meng Ziyi.

This is truly a godsend for traffic; I never expected Sun Yike to pull off something like this.

Lei Yi didn't need to specifically arrange for staff to provide cameras, because the staff had already been shoving the cameras almost directly in the faces of the group.

······

Meng Ziyi stared at the phone that had been abruptly hung up, somewhat bewildered.

"Hey, wait for me!" Meng Ziyi ran to catch up with the others.

Chi Chi deliberately lagged behind a few steps, allowing Tan Wen and Lu Yu to walk side by side in front.

She was taking pictures of the two of them with her phone from behind, and thought their height difference was quite a good match.

She was half a head shorter than Lu Yu, and it seemed that she and Tan Wen would look quite harmonious together.

Wait a minute, why am I even thinking about this? Ugh, get it out of my head!

Lu Yuxiao naturally understood her best friend's intentions. She was having a strong internal struggle: should she take Tan Wen's hand in front of the live broadcast camera?

Once they hold hands, their relationship will be public knowledge. The advantage is that they won't have to worry about losing each other anymore, and other girls probably won't get close to Tan Wen anymore.

As for the downsides, she didn't know how the company would handle the matter, nor what kind of impact it would have on her career.

Want to be impulsive just this once?

Her hand brushed against the back of Tan Wen's hand unintentionally, and she could almost feel Tan Wen's body temperature and the hair on his body.

"Can I really appear in your short film?" Meng Ziyi quickly walked to Tan Wen's right side.

Lu Yu subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief, feeling a little annoyed but mostly relaxed.

"Don't worry, I'll definitely give you some good shots." Tan Wen knew why Meng Ziyi asked again; she cared a lot about every opportunity to be seen.

"I will play my role well, and even in a small corner, I will shine."

Meng Ziyi raised his head and asked, "What do you think the final result will be? Will it be able to win first place?"

"Yes." With a proven good script and original music, Tan Wen didn't know how he could lose.

"Are you so sure?"

"Three women and one man, wow, just thinking about it is exciting. If I were a viewer, I would definitely vote for him."

Meng Ziyi paused for a moment, then smiled and said nothing more. She was looking forward to the completion of the short film.

Chi Chi rolled his eyes. This guy was showing his unserious side again. Luckily, he was handsome, otherwise even the best talent wouldn't withstand this kind of teasing.

Over the next few hours, the four of them scouted many locations and roughly determined the plot details for each location.

The roles of each person have been decided, and Tan Wen and Lu Yu are self-explanatory.

Meng Ziyi's character is an online streamer who has been maliciously slandered and comes to a small village to stay and relax.

Chi Chi's character is a female-oriented, struggling author who escapes to a small village to find inspiration in order to avoid her family's disapproval of her profession.

The four met and got to know each other in the windy courtyard, and some interesting and touching things happened.

Once all of that was decided, the next step was the background music. Tan Wen still had a few tracks that hadn't been used yet, so he wasn't worried at all.

"I've listened to some of your previous original songs, and I feel that 'If' and 'My Dear You' were quite a good match back then, especially since I feel that the lyrics didn't even need to be changed."

Chi Chi knew about "If Back Then" even before she knew about Tan Wen. For a few days, she even listened to Xu Song's solo version at the concert on repeat.

Tan Wen nodded: "It does match quite well, but I don't plan to use it this time. I have some new original songs, and I want to pick two from them."

The production team will definitely make the most of the viewership and feature more songs.

"Choose?" Chi Chi asked in surprise, "So you have a lot of original songs in your repertoire?"

"Yes, I'll talk to the music teacher when I get back today."

"Could we include a scene in the script where I sing?" Meng Ziyi suddenly asked.

Tan Wen's cheek twitched slightly: "Why are you so upset?"

Meng Ziyi pouted: "I also want to leave my mark on the Chinese music scene, okay?"

"Let's go back, you drive." Tan Wen turned around without hesitation.

Mencius asked, "Why aren't you opening it?"

"I wasn't wearing glasses."

"Why aren't you wearing one?"

"Before, I was nervous about facing the camera, but now I want to see even more beautiful versions of you."

"Shouldn't you be wearing glasses?"

"That would make things too clear, and you'd see the flaws!"

.....

After returning to the cabin, Tan Wen went directly to find the music teacher invited by the production team.

Lu Yu took Chi Chi to see Xiu Xiu.

When Meng Ziyi entered the living room, she noticed that the atmosphere was a bit cold. She had clearly heard voices inside before she entered, but the people inside immediately stopped talking when they saw her.

Sun Yike withdrew her gaze from Meng Ziyi, and Xu Jing took the opportunity to get up and pull Xiao Ya, who still wanted to hear the rest, away.

"Don't make judgments before you know the whole story," Xu Jing whispered to Xiao Ya.

Xiao Ya nodded: "I know, I just saw the footage and was a little reluctant to leave."

Ding Bing stared at Meng Ziyi without any restraint, seemingly unaware that her behavior might make others uncomfortable.

"What are you guys talking about? Invite me into the conversation!"

Although Meng Ziyi felt something was amiss, he did not connect it to himself.

Seeing that the others didn't really pay attention to her, and Sun Yike even gave her a cold look, Meng Ziyi was stunned. However, having been subjected to cyberbullying for a long time, she had developed a strong mentality. She simply shrugged and walked to the dining table to sit down by herself.

"How strange!" Meng Ziyi grimaced, opened Weibo, and prepared to monitor public opinion once a day.

The loudspeaker inside the cabin blared:

All guest speakers, please be prepared and we will interview you in turn.

The first person to be interviewed was Chi Chi.

Staff member: "What was your first impression of Tan Wende?"

Chi Chi recalled, "She seemed a bit frivolous and had a short temper; she seemed like someone who wouldn't accept being taken advantage of."

Staff member: "After spending the day together, have your thoughts changed?"
